Chapter 2: The Blood Oath

Wang Tiehan winked at Zhang Xuewu to express his gratitude, but this little action did not escape Wang Yizhe's gaze at all.

Zhang Xuewu hesitated slightly, and after weighing the pros and cons, he strode to the map, picked up the baton and said to the map: "Now my Northeast Frontier Army has a lot of troops in Liaojihei on the surface, but in fact, the national defense brigade is only four brigades, and the rest of the provincial defense brigade and the cantonment army have how many guns there are, and how many vacancies they have eaten below, I think everyone will also know in their hearts." ”

Zhang Xuewu paused, gestured along the Mantie with his baton and continued: "Everyone, please note that although the strength of the division and the reading force garrison of the Kwantung Army of the Yue Army does not have an advantage over our army, the multi-door division of the Yue Army is a type A division, and the division and regiment headquarters, the third infantry brigade, and the fifteenth infantry brigade are the four infantry wings. Therefore, the total strength of the Second Division was about 11,000 men, and with the addition of the six infantry brigades of the Manchurian Reading Garrison, the heavy artillery brigade stationed in Lushun, and the military police of the Kwantung Army, which was equivalent to the infantry brigade, the effective strength of the army available for use and direct combat was about 15,000 men. ”

Zhang Xuewu looked around at the regiment and battalion commanders who listened very carefully below, and looked at Wang Yizhe again, Wang Yizhe turned his encouraging eyes to Zhang Xuewu, and today Zhang Xuewu talked about Wang Yizhe for the first time, so he himself was also very curious, in his opinion, the cousin of the deputy commander would naturally know something that they did not know, and it seemed that it was not impossible to take this opportunity to understand.

Zhang Xuewu said in a deep voice: "Although the strength of the army is not much, the army occupies the advantage of the rapid projection of troops on the Manchurian Railway, so they can attack Andong, Benxi, Gaiping, Anshan, Fengtian, Tianzhuangtai, Changchun, Fushun, Haicheng, Liaoyang, Tieling, Changtu, Gongzhuling, and Kuanchengzi along the Manchurian Railway in a very short period of time. If the battle is hastily prepared, it is easy to fall into the situation of being broken by the forces gathered by the army using the high-speed maneuver of the railway. ”

After Zhang Xuewu finished speaking, he let out a long breath, most of the officers present fell into deep thought, obviously Zhang Xuewu's words brought them too much shock, Wang Yizhe hesitated for a while before he said a little helplessly: "Chengwen!" How good it would have been if your words had been said by the deputy commander! ”

After the meeting ended, Wang Yizhe took away the extremely restless Wang Tiehan and asked him to accompany him to congratulate Rong Zhen's old lady on his birthday, and the specific affairs of the 620 regiment were entrusted to Zhang Xuewu, the new chief of staff.

On the way back, Zhang Xuewu pulled all the five battalion commanders into his car, and the five battalion commanders were deeply honored to be able to seat in the car that used to be the deputy commander.

But didn't drive far, there was a conflict between the Northeast Army and the Yue Army, Zhang Xuewu sent an adjutant to understand, Li Mingtang came back and said with a smile: "Our temper of these soldiers is too irritable now, Xiao Yue Ben is also too nervous, run our soldiers on duty on the bayonet to draw matches and light cigarettes, as a result, our soldiers took off the bayonet with their backhand and gave Xiao Yueben a knife, stabbed to death on the street." ”

"Oh! So how is it handled? Zhang Xuewu was a little worried about the fate of that little soldier.

Li Mingtang smiled slightly and said: "Fortunately, our pistol battalion came in time, Xiao Yueben's 100 gendarmes didn't dare to move, according to the conventions and rules of the old handsome's meeting, the three devils are 1,500 taels, and if one dies this time, they will be compensated 500 oceans!" ”

After this episode, Zhang Xuewu felt very excited, in his memory the Northeast Army is very nested, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong, the numbers of the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army were all the numbers of the Northeast Army that were revoked, and now it seems that he seems to have been influenced by the historical artificial tendencies. Isn't 18 a dead knot that can't be untied?

Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, and Xu Guohui are the four infantry battalion commanders, plus Zhang Tianpeng, the field artillery battalion commander, and the five tiger generals of the 620 Regiment are all counted.

Originally, the chief of staff in the Northeast Army was a dispensable role, but this does not mean that someone dares not to take Zhang Xuewu, the chief of staff, not to disapprove, today's chief of staff invited a treat, and sat in the car given by the deputy commander, which made Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang and others feel that they have a special face, and the Northeast people are precisely the best face.

The five people swaggered behind the chief of staff to the most famous "Yipinju" in Shenyang City, where the master was the imperial chef who was exiled from the Forbidden City.

People in Fengtian City are rumored to have a hard backstage, so there are many people who look at the flowers, but there are few people who make trouble, Zhang Xuewu is not familiar with the legendary proprietress here, and today is also admired, and more importantly, the third floor of Yipinju is a good place to talk about big things.

After everyone sat down, a few colors of cold spelling immediately served up, wiped his face with a steaming towel, Zhang Xuewu threw out a Guangyang, although it is used at the moment to serve the ticket, but the ticket is not passed early in the morning, so most merchants are still proud of the hard currency.

But after a while, the hot and cold eight dishes were served, and Zhang Xuewu politely poured wine and cloth dishes, which made the five of them flattered, this master is the cousin of the deputy commander!

With a pockmarked face, Li Xinkai, who suddenly had a fierce appearance, looked like a man who fought and killed in Wuqiu, a few cups of four pots in his stomach, and he pulled his collar and said: "Counselor, you are so polite, but you are playing tricks with our brothers, what is the matter, you speak directly, without violating the military order, if my Lao Li frowns, he will be raised by a dog." ”

Saying that, Li Xinkai picked up a large piece of Dongpo meat, swallowed the soup with juice in his mouth, and chewed it.

Zhang Xuewu recalled Li Xinkai's words, glanced at Li Xinkai seriously, and said with a slight smile: "Then you have to sit tight, I'm afraid of scaring you bastards." ”

Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, and Xu Guohui glanced at each other, but ignored Zhang Tianpeng, the commander of the field artillery battalion.

Zhang Xuewu knew the reason, the four of them were infantry, and the artillery was originally to have a relationship with Dolara, but during the Central Plains War, the 620 regiment fought Jixian, and the troops were in a stalemate with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

Although the battle was won, he was removed from the position of the commander of the artillery regiment afterwards, and he was almost shot by a black gun, and since then the infantry battalion commanders have never been able to pee in a pot with him.

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said: "Now the deputy commander listens to Commander-in-Chief Jiang, Commander-in-Chief Jiang is busy suppressing the Communist Party in Nanjing, and a group of dirty politicians in Nanjing and Guangzhou are engaged in political splitting, you also know this guy, in addition to being shameless, basically everything is better than remembering a bitch, the Nanjing Central Political Axe does not let us do anything to myself, even if the other party calls, we are not allowed to fight back, everyone knows very well, right?" ”

Several people present nodded silently, indicating that they knew, and Zhang Xuewu immediately lowered his voice and said: "According to reliable information, it is said that I will start to capture Shenyang City and the military key points along the Manchurian Railway at about ten o'clock in the evening of the day after tomorrow, that is, 9.18. ”

Smack! Li Xinkai's chopsticks fell from his hand and didn't know it, and the rest of the people were also dumbfounded, Zhang Xuewu leisurely drank a glass of wine and said, "Scared? ”

Zhang Tianpeng took a deep breath and said, "Counselor, is this true?" ”

Zhang Xuewu's expression was extremely serious and nodded: "It's true!" ”

Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, Xu Guohui and others glanced at each other, and Xu Guohui said slowly: "The counselor should tell Brigade Commander Wang this information?" Let's prepare in advance! ”

Zhang Xuewu drank the wine in the cup and said: "Do you think that the political axe and deputy commander of the Nanjing Central Committee don't know? You haven't forgotten the Middle Road War, right? In fact, we are caught in the gap between the Russians and ourselves, and we are called a strategic buffer to gain time for the country's development. ”

Zhang Xuewu paused and continued: "If I am determined to occupy the Northeast this time, then the deputy commander's policy of forbearance is just for my own use, our Northeast Army is all in Mukden, and if the military factories, the cash of the Bank of China, the aircraft, and the stored arms and artillery are all lost, we will be a bunch of stinky people in the future!" ”

"Chief of Staff, what do you think we should do?" Li Xinkai looked at Zhang Xuewu very positively, and the remaining chopsticks were also lost by him.

Zhang Xuewu looked around at the other four: "Everyone is a soldier, and the qualifications of the army are all my predecessors, and it is normal to be promoted in battle, I believe everyone understands the truth of seeking wealth and danger, so I am ready that if Xiao Yue dares to fight, we will fight back, and if it is not good, we will also transport away the ammunition stored in the Fengtian Arsenal and the cash bank reserved by the Bank of China, so as to minimize the loss, and I will personally bear it if something happens." ”

Li Xinkai smiled and said: "It's all two legs and a stomach, and a pair of people are in the water, how much has Xiao Yuben been wronged in the past few years?" Those who were born with a golden spoon dare to fight, what is so terrible about Lao Tzu's straw slippers? However, this move is very important, and if you are not careful, you will really live and die with you. ”

Li Xinkai's words were understood by the other four people, this is a great wealth and wealth, but it is also a catastrophe that pierces the sky, looking at Zhang Xuewu's open pistol holster, the five of them suddenly still have their own ideas.

Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, Xu Guohui, and Zhang Tianpeng got up one after another, their faces were red under the power of the spirits, Zhang Xuewu took the lead in cutting his fingers with a dagger, and the five of them dripped blood into the bowl in turn, and raised the wine bowl in unison and said impassionedly: "May we live and die together!" ”
