Chapter 61: In-depth Preparations

Facing the doubtful eyes of the people in the audience, Mu Han did not explain too much.

"Captain Cheng, how is the situation of the Air Combat Brigade of the Dragon Ninth Division? Now, together with the pilots and technicians deployed at our Wolongshan headquarters, once the battle starts, how many planes can be lifted into the air for combat? ”

According to the commander-in-chief, the Northeast Army now has 267 planes of various types, including 150 fighters, 50 bombers, and 30 transport planes. The predecessor of the Air Combat Brigade of the Ninth Division of the Dragon Division was the First Squadron of the Fengtian Dongta Airport Garrison Brigade, and according to the arrangement of the commander-in-chief and Chief of General Staff Chen Qi, the headquarters began to develop its own forces in the Airport Garrison Brigade in 1928. However, we are airport guards, and those pilots are Zhang Shaoshuai's baby bumps, and they usually don't take us seriously, so we don't have many of these pilots, only thirty or forty people, but as long as they resist the invasion of foreign enemies, I think those bloody pilots from the Northeast can still be used by us after mobilization! Therefore, according to the conservative estimation of the lower ranks, together with the support forces of the headquarters, we can control all the aircraft, participate in the battle at any time, and can also carry out reconnaissance and transportation missions. ”

"Good! If you master the Air Force, great things can be done! A smile appeared on Mu Han's face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that when I just talked about transporting all the machinery and equipment, automatic weapons, guns, and Zhang Shaoshuai's family property from the Northeast Arsenal out of Mukden, everyone had ideas in their hearts." Mu Han looked at everyone carefully and explained: "What I want to say is that it's not that I, Mu, want to take advantage of the Japanese invasion to rob the Northeast Army and Zhang Shaomari, everyone think about what will happen if these family backgrounds of the Northeast Army and Zhang Shaomarshal fall into the hands of the Japanese?" ”

"Buzz!" There was a commotion in the field, and the people who could attend this meeting were all the middle and high-level generals of the Long Wei Army and the heads of various departments in the northeast, and their opinions and cognitions were certainly much higher than ordinary people.

They had never considered Mu Han's assumption just now. Now that Mu Han said it, everyone's hearts were cold. "The strength of the Northeast Arsenal was second to none in China at that time, and the output of one day could arm a battalion, not to mention those heavy weapons such as artillery, chariots, tanks, and aircraft, as well as the tens of millions of young marshal Zhang in the northeast. If all of these fall into the hands of the Japanese, coupled with the rich mineral resources in the Northeast, after the occupation of the Northeast, the strength of the Japanese army will grow by leaps and bounds, and it will bring disastrous consequences to the Dragon Guard Army and the entire Z country! ”

"Commander-in-chief, now there are nearly 100,000 Northeast Army in Mukden alone, and the Japanese Kwantung Army is only about 20,000. Xu Haiyong, the commander of the 93rd Regiment of the Longjiu Division, stood up with a frown at this time and said.

Mu Han shook his head, opened a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, lit it, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "From the reliable information I got from the secret chess I planted within the Japanese Kwantung Army, it is very likely that the Kwantung Army will do it on the night of the 18th of this month. The two guys in charge of this military operation were Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Waner, who acted on their own initiative and did not get the approval of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru, so the only troops they invested that day were one garrison brigade and one wing of the South Manchurian Railway. ”

Mu Han's voice just fell, "What? Just like that, a small number of troops dare to do something to Mukden? Sun Feng, who was once known as the "Crazy Bear", shouted: "It's crazy, it's too bullying me to have no one in the Northeast!" ”

Mu Han's face was straight, "Ishihara Guaner once said to the generals of the Japanese military department: 'For the Northeast Army, he doesn't need to show a real knife, he can scare Zhang Xueliang back with only a bamboo knife!'" He was a little crazy, but he was telling the truth. Because he has identified the weaknesses of the Northeast Army, and at the same time, he has a very accurate grasp of the current situation and policy in China's political arena. Mu Han's mouth slowly spewed thick smoke, "It is not so much that this is the accuracy of Ishihara Wan'er's opinion, but that it is the sorrow of the Z* people, if the Japanese Kwantung Army launched this war, our Dragon Guard Army does not intervene, everyone is very likely to witness with their own eyes that more than 100,000 Northeast Army was beaten by thousands of Kwantung Army and did not even dare to fight back, and fled in the wilderness, escaped from the Northeast, and fled to Guannei, at that time, together with the Northeast Army and Zhang Shaoshuai's family and the entire four northeastern provinces, all of them will fall into the hands of the Japanese." ”

"Ahh Everyone grew up, and at this time everyone understood Mu Han's intention just now.

"Therefore, regarding this battle, our main purpose is to eliminate the living forces of the Japanese Kwantung Army to the greatest extent, and the second is to secretly transport the Northeast Army and Zhang Shaoshuai's family to the northwest so that these things can be used to the maximum extent in our hands."

"Obey the commander-in-chief's dispatch!" At this time, everyone dispersed their doubts and shouted in unison.

"Good! Now I command! Mu Han shouted. Everyone stood up respectfully.

"Xiao Ran!"

"Here!"

"From today onwards, all the strength of the Longyin Group will be placed on the Japanese, and your department has the following tasks, 1. Secretly pay attention to the whereabouts of all the Japanese in Fengtian City, and report any disturbances immediately, and if necessary, you can directly extinguish them. 2. Before September 18, place ** at all obstacles, bridges and other major sections of the South Manchurian Railway, and detonate them together after the battle has fully started. I want to completely paralyze the South Manchurian Railway, so as to slow down the increase of Japanese troops. 3. After the battle ended and all the Dragon Guards withdrew, the Dragon Yin Group quickly lurked. At the same time, I am leaving you 5,000 men and horses, using your intelligence network and geographical terrain advantages, uniting all the best people from all over the Northeast after the war, adopting a special operation method, and giving me a constant toss of the Japanese until we counterattack the Northeast! ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

"Xu Haiyong!"

"Here!"

"From now on, your unit will be on first-level alert, all officers and soldiers will cancel their vacations and training, be on call 24 hours a day, and all guns and artillery will be equipped with five bases of ammunition! At the same time, you mobilize all your henchmen, secretly contact all the bloody grassroots officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade, and once the battle starts, quickly gather them to unify your command and destroy any enemy who invades the North Battalion! The specific deployment of your unit is that before September 18, you will find a way to arrange a battalion to take over the defense of Sayamazuizi Town, and the remaining forces will join forces with other officers and soldiers of the ** Brigade who dare to resist the Japanese to strictly defend the Beida Battalion. Remember, the signal for the actions of the Japanese was the sound of explosions near Wicker Lake on the South Manchurian Railway on the night of September 18. Once the war starts, you will fire the first shot of our Dragon Guard's official appearance on the stage of history, and the prestige of the whole army depends on you to show, so I ask you to annihilate all the invading enemies and beat the morale of our Dragon Guard! Fight the majesty of my dragon guard! ”

"Commander-in-chief, rest assured, Xu Haiyong will do his best and not let go of the Japanese!" Xu Haiyong saw that Mu Han had entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility, and his blood surged up for a while, and he responded excitedly.

"Xu Shengda!"

"Here!" ”

"Your department, from now on, all staff are on standby 24 hours a day, continue to develop and contact all people with lofty ideals, pay close attention to the reactions of all the Japanese in Fengtian City, after the battle started on the night of September 18, your department quickly gained control of Fengtian City, except for our Dragon Guard, no matter what forces, just need to go out or not, especially be careful of Japanese spies making waves. All suspicious forces must be killed! At the same time, all the vehicle transport capacity was mobilized, and the Northeast Arsenal was emptied for me, so that the Japanese could not be left with a single shot, and as for those who really could not be transported, they would lay a good mine for me! ”

"Yes! Resolutely complete the mission! ”

"Wan Qirong!"

"Here!"

"Your department was originally the arsenal garrison brigade, from now on, you have to completely control the entire arsenal, after the battle started, the technical arms quickly mobilized all the tanks and armored vehicles in the arsenal to prepare to meet the enemy, and other personnel did a good job of workers to assist Xu Shengda's department, and gave me all the mechanical equipment and ammunition to be transported away."

"Yes! Commander! The department should mobilize all forces to ensure the completion of the task. ”

"Cheng Dongshan!"

"Here!"

"From now on, your ground combat force will give me complete control over all the facilities of the entire airport, especially the airport's dispatch room, watchtower, hangar, and weapons depot, and must be closely guarded, and not a suspicious person can be spared. If necessary, you don't have to report to anyone, and you can kill suspicious enemies. At the same time, your department continues to contact enthusiastic pilots for our use. The pilots sent by Wolongshan and the pilots you developed are on 24-hour combat readiness, and after the battle starts, fighter and bomber squadrons are ready to support various battlefields at any time. The squadron of transport aircraft is responsible for transporting all kinds of valuable materials and equipment to the northwest. ”

"Yes! Commander-in-chief, Dongshan must go all out! ”

"Jiang Yunping!"

"Here!"

"Your department, from now on, implement a level of alert, give me close attention to the dynamics of Fushun and Benxi, report any actions of the Japanese at any time, after the outbreak of the war, if the Japanese army reinforces Fengtian, your department will firmly resist me, and wait until Xu Shengda and Wan Qirong's troops complete the transportation task and arrive in a safe area, and your department is evacuating to the territory of Rehe on its own.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief! As long as I, Jiang Yunping, have a breath of air, I will never let go of a Japanese devil on the Eastern Front! ”

"Sun Yue!"

"Here!"

"Your department, from now on, mobilize all the cottage forces that have no evil deeds, and pay close attention to the Fujikawa brigade in the direction of the city, after the battle starts, your department will cover the transportation task of Xu Shengda and Wan Qirong's department. Remember that no matter what happens, make sure your shipping team is safe! ”

"Yes! Commander! Even if Sun Yue is smeared with liver and brain, he will not fail in his mission! ”

"Hou Chenfeng, Qiao Yunpeng!"

"Here!" "Here!"

"From now on, the Dragon Servant Regiment will only leave a communication company, and it will maintain 24-hour uninterrupted contact with various places at any time, and no matter what happens in various places, they must notify me as soon as possible. The other forces of the Dragon Servant Regiment are divided into three parts, the first part is used as a reserve to support and respond to the battlefields at any time, and the second part is used as a covert protection force for the transport team, ready to deal with emergencies that may arise during the march, and remember to destroy any enemy who stands in my way. The third part is used as a special combat personnel, and they move freely, with the main purpose of delaying the enemy's attack with the greatest possible destruction, and they must not be greedy for merit. ”

"Understood! Commander! ”

"Xiao Ran and Sun Feng stay, and the rest of the people will prepare separately!"

"Yes!" Soon, others came out in droves. The secret conference room, which was a little crowded just now, now seems deserted, leaving only Mu Han, Xiao Ran, and Sun Feng.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, Mu Han first broke the silence, "What do you two think?" ”

Xiao Ran and Sun Feng glanced at each other, and their faces were full of solemnity.

"Commander-in-chief, I want to stay in the Northeast and fight with Little Japan to the end!" Sun Feng said slowly.

"Oh! Why? ”

"Commander-in-chief, I am a native of the Northeast, and I am still famous in various parts of the Northeast, so I want to give full play to my strengths and lead the hidden Dragon Guard brothers and Little Japan to fight to the end between this white mountain and black water!"

"Brother Sun, I can understand your feelings! But now there are only a limited number of generals in the Dragon Guard Army who can have a sense of the overall situation! Besides, your role is not to stay and fight guerrillas with the Japanese, but to attack the city and defend one side! I promise you that in a few years, when the time is ripe, I will definitely let you command a force to directly counterattack the northeast. ”

Seeing that Mu Han valued himself so much, Sun Feng's heart was hot, so he had to nod his head and obey.

"Xiao Ran, what do you have to say?"

"Commander-in-chief, I don't have any problem staying in the Northeast, but I don't know how to face the anti-Japanese teams in the Northeast in the future? How do we manage our relationship? Xiao Ran asked with far-reaching eyes.

"Well, it is worthy of being the helmsman of the Northeast of the Longyin Group personally arranged by the Chief of the General Staff, and he is very far away! As for the problem you mentioned, I can tell you clearly now, that is, I am the main one, you just need to do your own thing, and you don't have to think about the rest. When other teams encounter difficulties, they can help, after all, they are all bloody men who will resist Japan. Remember, your task is the most arduous, and the situation you will face in the future is also the most severe, but you can rest assured, you are not alone, the Japanese army will not fully invade China now, and when this campaign is over, I will arrange for all regular troops and special combat teams to go to the northeast for rotation training. At the same time, I will leave you all the Japanese weapons and captures this time, and you can always ask the headquarters for reinforcements if necessary. ”

"Good! Then I don't have any problems! Xiao Ran let out a sigh of relief.

"Commander-in-chief! I have one more question! At this time, Sun Feng suddenly spoke.

"Brother Sun, please speak!"

"According to the arrangement of the commander-in-chief, after the battle of Mukden began, it is impossible for the Japanese army to occupy all of Mukden within three or five days. How should our army respond? ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief! Our layout has taken into account all the possibilities of the Japanese army, and all our arrangements are based on the fact that Major Marshal Zhang will not resist and the Northeast Army will flee in despair, and we will not be able to distinguish the winner from the Japanese in three or two days. Xiao Ran also took over.

"Well, it's not impossible for you to say that. In case of that kind of situation, we have to make other plans, and the worst thing is to ask Zhang Shaoshuai to give us a certain amount of troop expenses, and my bottom line is that Rehe will be under the rule of the Long Wei Army. However, the probability of this happening is very low. Lao Chiang will definitely not go to war with the Japanese, there is no doubt about it! As for Zhang Shaoshuai, even if he has the courage to fight to the death with the Japanese, how many Japanese forces are there in the Northeast Army? How much can the Northeast Army's combat power play in front of the Japanese army? It's not that I underestimate Young Marshal Zhang and the Northeast Army, they are okay at home to grab mountains, fight for territory, and harm the common people, but in the face of foreign powers, especially the Japanese who know the roots of the Northeast, they are not at all a grade. Otherwise, little Japan wouldn't dare to swallow elephants! ”
