Chapter 138: Epilogue
"My nest is in Heilongjiang, so I won't go with the commander,
The commander has the intention of being a commander, but the northeast also has to leave a few anti-Japanese teams down. Ma Zhanshan pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "When the commander withdraws from Fengtian City, I will withdraw when I do, everyone fights together, and we have to be righteous, we can't let the commander break off with us, Brigade Commander Wang, do you say yes or no?" In addition, the commander went all the way west, and I sent 3,000 horses to the commander. ”
Wang Zhiyou is a strong advocate of leaving now, and it is not up to Ma Zhanshan to say a word, nor is it down. His face turned red, and then he said, "If everyone has discussed when to leave, I naturally can't be the first to go, lest I be laughed at and become a deserter." ”
"Brother Xiufang is right, there are still a few teams left in the northeast, commander, I won't go with you during this time.
But it will also hold out until the commander leaves before retreating. Li Du arched his hand to Jiang Li and said.
"I'll stay too." Xing Zhanqing, Ding Chao, Su Bingwen, Heilongjiang Provincial Second Brigade,
Zhang Dianjiu of the First Provincial Defense Brigade said one after another.
"I'll go to Shaanxi with the commander." The last to express his stance was Feng Zhanhai.
Jiang Li roughly estimated,
His main force is still the 7th Brigade, but at this time, the 7th Brigade directly under the 7th Brigade has more men than a division of the Japanese army, reaching an astonishing 33,000 deformed state. Although the 7th Brigade continued to have people killed in battle, there were also people who kept coming in, and Huang Xiansheng took away 1 garrison brigade and 1 recruit brigade. Wang Tiehan also had a brigade in his hands and withdrew to the Tongliao area. Zou Zuohua took the original cantonment brigade to a position less than 100 miles away from Guisui. There are also some recruits and some police forces to maintain order. It was similar to Jiang Li's original plan, when he withdrew from Mukden, there would still be 40,000 to 50,000 people.
At this time, there are more Feng Zhanhai, Zhang Zhibang, and Zhao Yi, and there are more than 9,000 people under Feng Zhanhai.
Zhang Zhibang and Zhao Yi each had a brigade, with a total strength of about 9,000 people. In other words, there are nearly 20,000 more than planned, but Jiang Li can't ask for 20,000 people. After all, they have all been in the battle formation, although there are a lot of newcomers filled during this time, but they can recuperate for a while, and the combat power can be pulled up again.
If you include Li Du and Ma Zhanshan, there are more than 100,000 troops who have opened a front with the Japanese army in Fengtian City at this time. In terms of troops, it has a slight advantage over the Japanese army. After the tragic war of attrition, the anti-Japanese coalition army can still maintain such a scale, and most of them have maintained a certain combat effectiveness, which is also the reason why these people here are convinced of Jiang Li.
"Thank you for your trust, I have an idea about retreat, there is no need for so many people in the street battles in Fengtian City in the future, and the retreat must be an orderly process, and you can't retreat backwards in a nest of wind. Since you're still willing to stay and listen to me, I'll make one last arrangement. Retreating to Jilin, each brigade in Heilongjiang will replenish 2 million rounds of ammunition, and in addition, I will allocate another 107 artillery pieces, and there are more than 310 mortars. In addition, about 26,000 rifles can be evenly distributed. ”
Plans can never catch up with change,
According to Jiang Li's original plan,
can transport all the machinery of Mukden,
It was enough to transport the necessary part of the grain, and even at the critical moment, Jiang Li was ready to give up some of the materials, but later, with the addition of no less than 300,000 laborers from Fushun, Benxi, and Anshan, the transportation army stretched for dozens of miles, plus the war on the side of Fengtian City was also progressing well, and many carriages were transferred from Heilongjiang and Jilin. Jiang Li also transported 50,000 or 60,000 rounds of artillery shells and 20 million rounds of ammunition. In addition, some cannons that were originally intended to be discarded at an emergency moment, as well as heavy artillery components from the Fengtian Arsenal, were also transported, and the rest was enough to meet the needs of the next war in Fengtian City, except for supporting Heilongjiang and Jilin.
"Commander Gao Yi." Ma Zhanshan was suddenly extremely moved, and arched his hand to Jiang Li, the Fengtian Arsenal was snatched back by Jiang Li, during this time, in terms of ammunition and food supply, although it was not very beautiful, but it was still satisfactory on the whole, and now Jiang Li was able to come up with such a large amount of ordnance, such a volume is not something that ordinary people can have. It can be said that these ordnance have greatly solved the problem of insufficient ammunition in various departments, and there will be a supply problem for a considerable period of time in the future.
"If it weren't for the difference in opinion,
I really want to go with the commander. ”
Xing Zhanqing also said with admiration.
Needless to say,
In my opinion, this war with the Japanese may not end in three or five years, and I hope that all of you here can survive as much as possible while killing and wounding the Japanese army, and that it is fate that everyone can get together to resist Japan, and I hope that in six or seven years, or even seven or eight years, we can still sit together and drink and celebrate. Jiang Li waved his hand and said, "I didn't joke with you, there is an old craftsman who made wine from Fengtian this time, I have some wine in the kiln in northern Shaanxi, this battle will last for a few years, and I will wait until that year to start the kiln." ”
"Haha, okay, as long as I, Li Du, don't fall on the battlefield, I will definitely come to get drunk with the commander when the time comes!"
Li Du laughed and said, and the others also agreed to the words one after another, and the sorrow of the separation was dispelled a lot for a while.
"And then about the retreat, I think that Jilin's first retreat, by the way, the Nanman Road to the north of Fengtian City was also destroyed, and you can also see the role of the railway.
I don't need to say more. You want to take root firmly and deeply in Jilin, Heilongjiang. These railways must be destroyed.
In addition, I was in Fengtian City for a while,
Brother Ma, Brother Li, you can also go back and integrate the power of Jilin Province and Heilongjiang. Prepare for the next stage of the war of resistance. Jiang Li added.
Ma Zhanshan, Li Du and the others nodded thoughtfully, if the railway had not been destroyed, the main force of the Kwantung Army would not have been defeated by Jiang Li because of lack of support. The Japanese army would not have fought outside Mukden City for so long because of the difficulty of supplying materials.
"Leave this matter to me and Brother Xiufang, in addition, I suggest that we leave some troops down to help the commander break the rear, and then support some horses to come out, so that the commander can retreat later, do you have any opinions?" Li Du looked around and said.
"I mean the same thing as Brother Uechu,
Support the commander. Ma Zhanshan also said in a timely manner. Of the three deputy commanders, Feng Zhanhai became Jiang Li's henchman. Ma Zhanshan and Li Du said again, and the others also took a lot of benefits from Jiang Li, so naturally there was nothing they would not allow.
"Well, now that we have a unified opinion, the rest of the matter will be easy. Brother Ma and Brother Li retreated first and returned to Jilin.
Heilongjiang, the integration of anti-Japanese forces, for people such as Yu Jicheng and Zhang Jinghui, it is advisable to kill them all, otherwise it will always be a disaster to stay. Jiang Li got up and said, "I still have to go to the front line to check the troop arrangement, what do you have to talk about next." ”
Ma Zhanshan, Li Du and others got up one after another to see Jiang Li leave.
