Chapter 58: Shameless

A battalion reinforced from Huanggutun and a battalion drawn from Huang Xiansheng's police force soon rushed to the battlefield, and Jiang Li was able to transfer the 973 battalion out for temporary rest. From last night to now, the 973 battalion of Jiang Li's headquarters has been running around, rushing to the front in everything, and he is quite tired for a while. Before plagiarizing the rear route of the main force of the Kwantung Army, it was necessary to take a short rest.

When Wang Sanpao, Xu Sheng and others were asleep, Jiang Li received a call from Huang Xiansheng again, and rushed all the way back to Fengtian City from the battlefield.

"Congwen, how is the battle?" Huang Xiansheng saw Jiang Li rushing back, and hurriedly stood up, and next to him were Fengtian Governor Tibetan Shiyi and a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, who also looked at Jiang Li with a concerned face.

"At present, there is still a fierce battle with the Japanese army, and there is no result for a while. However, if the Japanese army wants to hit Mukden City, it will not be able to do it for a while. My cousin is in charge of the rear ammunition and the care of the wounded, and there must be new troops, and the 7th Brigade has suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the Japanese army, so if the fight continues, in a few days, the 7th Brigade will be beaten into an empty shelf. ”

Seeing that there were others present, Jiang Li didn't tell the truth, in fact, at this time, the Japanese army had been divided, and a part of the Japanese army in the encirclement was about to be annihilated, and the 7th Brigade had already gained the upper hand, and it would not take too long to break through the main force of the Kwantung Army.

Tibetan Shiyi and the middle-aged man were relieved to hear that the Japanese army couldn't help the 7th Brigade for a while.

However, Jiang Li also needs to create an atmosphere in which the Japanese army is pressurized, and the Fengtian defenders are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army regardless of the orders of their superiors, and they are taking their lives to block the Japanese army. and reduce the aid to Mukden.

"Well, from Liaozhong, Xinmin, Tieling will have some guards rushing over, the number is about 2,300 people, in addition, I recruited troops in Fengtian City, and there are many people who come to enthusiastically report to the army, just today, the number of recruits who came to sign up has reached 2,900 people. However, the quality is uneven, and 2,100 people have been selected from them, and emergency training is currently being arranged in the East Battalion. Huang Xiansheng said.

"There isn't that much time for them to train, and the only way for an army to grow is on the battlefield. After a few days of training, they were successively filled into the 7th Brigade in batches and let them go to the battlefield to learn. ”

Jiang Li didn't think much about it and decided that through a series of victories and dispatches, Jiang Li had initially established the prestige of the 7th Brigade, and he must firmly grasp a force that can fight and have sufficient strength in his hands, so as to fundamentally ensure the implementation of the following series of plans. As for the number of people who will die in the battle because of this, Jiang Li can't care so much, as long as he can move the arsenal to northern Shaanxi, the current effort is completely worth it.

"What is the attitude of the other garrisons in Mukden now, and has the province telegraphed to them?"

"The crisis in Fengtian Province is thanks to Congwen, I haven't closed my eyes since last night. If everyone who is in the army can have the heart of Congwen, how could Fengtian fall into such a field. ”

Tibetan Shiyi sighed and said, he strongly persuaded Zhang Xueliang to lead his troops to the north and mobilize other garrisons to increase Fengtian City. But Zhang Xueliang ignored it, and later Tibetan Shiyi also refused to flee with other officials, which also showed a certain temperament.

Although the historical Tibetan Yi also took refuge with the Japanese in the end, this was also resentment towards Zhang Xueliang for giving up the Northeast to Japan. Tibetan Shiyi has made enough efforts to even fight against Japan through hunger strike, but Zhang Xueliang and Nanjing are both ignorant of the Northeast, so why should he pay for Zhang Xueliang's wrong decision? Maybe Tibetan Yi is not the kind of person who can withstand torture, but at this time, Fengtian City has not been occupied by the Japanese, and Tibetan Yi's heart is still towards the Republic of China.

"I have already sent telegrams to the garrisons in various parts of Mukden, but there is no response yet." Tibetan Yi said with a wry smile. Then he introduced the middle-aged man next to him to Jiang Lidao, "This is Du Changling, the general manager of the Bank of China, because his manager in the Fengtian branch was killed and plundered by the Japanese army, he specially rushed to Fengtian City, hoping to recover the bank's losses. ”

"It turns out that this is the hero Jiang Tuan Commander who rose up to resist Japan, it is better to be famous than to meet, and it is better to be famous than to meet." Du Changling smiled kindly, and then complained, "The Japanese army invaded Fengtian and killed the manager of my branch, and the current bank of the Fengtian branch alone exceeded more than 50 million taels, and the losses were heavy, and the losses were heavy, since the head of the Jiang regiment completely annihilated the 29th Wing of the Japanese army, presumably when the Japanese army occupied the branch, the treasury silver did not travel far, right?" If head Jiang can help retrieve this batch of cash, or provide clues about this batch of silver, Du is grateful, and in the future, if Jiang is invited, Du will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire. ”

"Manager Du came a little unlucky, the train was still under the control of the Japanese army, when I led the army back to Fengtian City, the Japanese army had fully occupied your branch, and the Northeast Bank was also occupied, the main force of the Japanese army was fighting fiercely with our army, and those soldiers in the township, the people of the Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd. concentrated on manpower to transport goods, you also know, the Japanese army attacked Fengtian City, Nanjing has issued an order not to resist, I led the troops to fight with the Japanese army in a bloody battle is already the risk of killing the head, Where is there still the courage to intercept the non-war behavior of Japanese companies and give the Japanese an excuse for an all-out war with the Republic of China. If Manager Du wants to recover this loss, he can go to the people of the Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd. to discuss, or ask Nanjing to appeal to the League of Nations, and ask the League of Nations to come forward. Jiang Li said with pity on his face.

"Haha, I can't imagine it, I really can't imagine that Congwen is not only powerful in leading troops, but also not much worse than guns. With the spear of the other, the shield of the other. You didn't see Du Changling's pork liver color. It's really exciting. After Du Changling walked away, Tibetan Yi laughed.

"Didn't Nanjing believe in the League of Nations, believe that there is justice in the world, since the strength of the League of Nations is so strong, it is not a piece of cake to recover this money, verbally ordered us not to resist, and the reinforcements will not send any of them, nor have they seen a grain of rice, a dollar of funding, and now they still have the face to send people to ask for money. What did you think of us as Fengtian? Jiang Li said with a sneer.

"That's right, I don't have the ability, and I want to come over to ask for money, how can there be such a good thing in the world." Tibetan Shiyi, a literati, was also holding back a fire at this time, and then looked at Jiang Lidao again, "But Commander Huang asked me to collect cattle and horses, grain, and cotton clothes with all my might, and let some factories in Fengtian make vehicles, and the arsenal is disassembling machinery, does Congwen already have the idea of evacuating Fengtian?" ”

The situation was urgent before, and he didn't have time to ask more, but at this time, Tibetan Yi mentioned it, and Huang Xiansheng also looked at Jiang Li inquiringly.
