Hanyang Railway Station. Inside and out, there are heavily armed gendarmes, and today there is martial law here.

The railway station has not been open to the public since the Kuomintang moved its capital to Wuhan, and even the whole of Hanyang is now off-limits. The four sides were always heavily guarded, and [***] gendarmes patrolled back and forth with rifles loaded with bayonets. No one without a pass is allowed to enter this large construction site. Well, the whole city of Hanyang has now become a big construction site, the original Hanyang Iron Works has long been bulldozed, huge workshops have risen on the original site, and countless construction workers from the rural areas of Huguang are busy under the command of foremen and engineers. Now, with each passing day, the face of the city is changing.

The settled Kuomintang seemed to be building Wuhan as their foundation. Wuchang East Lake is surrounded by administrative districts and military academies and universities. Hankow is a commercial center and a base for light industry. Hanyang is positioned as a base for heavy industry and military industry, and at the same time it is also a large warehouse and logistics transshipment center for the entire [***]. Supplies destined for the Northeast to support the two armed uprisings will also be loaded from here.

How much supplies is needed to maintain an army of 20,000 men in a state of war for several months? Not just rifles, machine guns, cannons, but also ammunition. There are also a staggering number of military uniforms, cotton coats, quilts, white capes, gloves, hats, masks, washbasins, towels, water bottles...... and other daily necessities. The uniforms were ordered according to the standard of the Red Army, and the gray and blue cloth uniforms were added to the octagonal hats, and the caps were sewn with the cockades of red five-pointed stars.

These orders were placed in the garment factories in Shanghai, and it was the capitalists' factories that made uniforms and red flags for the Red Army, which was determined to overthrow the capitalist system. And the quality of this batch of military uniforms is still very good, I wonder if the working class in Shanghai knows that they are making clothes for their own team, so they are very serious?

The uprising is planned to be launched in October this year, because in another month it will be the harsh winter in the northeast, so a full 20,000 sets of winter clothes such as cotton clothes, cotton pants, masks, and cotton hats have been ordered, in addition to 20,000 white capes, which can be worn to hide in the snow.

Another major item is food, which must be enough to feed at least 20,000 people for a full winter. However, the grain was not purchased in the south, but in the east, and after being bought, it was also stored in a warehouse belonging to the Middle East Road Railway Bureau.

Zhang Guotao stood on the platform of the railway station with a tense face, looking at the busy loading and unloading yard. He had been standing here for most of the day, watching the huge amount of supplies being carried onto the wagons, and he didn't even seem to blink an eyelid. He had already silently calculated in his heart, these supplies, including rifles, machine guns, cannons, shells...... The total value of everything will never be less than $6 million! This is a huge amount of money that the entire Suiyuan, northern Shaanxi, and Longdong Soviet regions cannot raise in a year. With such a huge material base, you should be able to establish your own northeast base area, right?

According to the plan, this uprising was to be launched in Suihua, a hundred kilometers north of Harbin. In advance, the backbone of 3,000 people will make a detour through Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union, and then secretly enter Suihua through the Soviet-controlled China Eastern Railway. Then they picked up their weapons at the warehouse of the China Eastern Railway, located near the Suihua railway station, and launched an uprising. After the success of the uprising, the troops will first fight the local tyrants and divide the fields near Suihua County to mobilize the masses and strive to expand the Red Army. Evacuate Suihua before the arrival of the enemy's main forces, enter the Xiaoxinganling area, and open up the Soviet area in Yichun County, which is next to the Soviet Union. The enlarged Red Army would spend the entire winter there and would train with the help of Soviet advisers, before launching an offensive to capture Harbin in the spring of the following year...... Again, the old way is to seize the central city, and one or more provinces will win first.

Zhang Guotao let out a long sigh and paced on the platform with a gloomy face. How on earth can we not do this kind of egg touching a stone? After a winter has passed, Feng Zhang is afraid that he has already mobilized the main force in Harbin, right? How could 20,000 men on their own win?

……

"Big brother, do you see it? He is Zhang Guotao, your first opponent...... It could also be a partner. Anyway, this guy is very prickly, you have to be more careful, don't follow his way. ”

In the VIP room on the second floor of the waiting hall of Hanyang Railway Station, not far from Zhang Guotao, Luo Yaoguo and his brother-in-law Wang Bao were standing side by side, each holding a telescope in their hands.

Stick to the point! Wang Bao took the telescope and observed for a while, and what he saw in the telescope was a gloomy and somewhat terrifying face with Chinese characters.

Luo Yaoguo turned his head to look at Wang Bao: "Big brother, you have to stay in the Northeast for two years, bring the team up." The old camp in the Daxing'an Mountains should also be built, and if possible, another airfield should be built. In two years, I will let someone else do it for you, and then I will arrange a good or bad for you. In the past two years, we will raise the red flag, first pretend to be their ranks, and call them the Red Army externally, and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army internally. If...... Zhang Guotao sent someone to contact you, and if you want to join them, you can ask them for a number, but you must not hand over the troops to them. You must personally grasp the military power, and you must not fake it to others. And the assistants I sent to you are all capable, but they may all be GCD people, so you can't give them military power, just let them serve as staff officers first. ”

"It's their people, you still ......," Wang Bao whispered. The heart said that his third brother was a ghost idea, and this time he must have a plan, right?

"Yes, it's their people, but I'm going to use it." Luo Yaoguo lowered his head: "This army is hanging thousands of miles away, it is not our fundamental strength, as long as it can play its due role and bear the heavy responsibility of resisting the invasion of the Northeast in the future, I don't care if this army is surnamed Guo or Gong in the end...... But before that it had to be armed by the Kuomintang. ”

It is unrealistic to fight the Chinese army for a long time while being far away from logistical supplies, and in the end it is inevitable to seek the assistance of Soviet Russia, and Soviet Russia's assistance is by no means unconditional. It is also expected that this lone army will be red in the end, but as long as it can continue to resist Yue, it will be considered to have completed the task if it does not allow Yue to use the resources of the Northeast to grow.

Wang Bao shook his head: "Third brother, your words are really like a book from heaven...... But I'll just do it. ”

The uprising, launched by the Military Intelligence Bureau in the name of the Red Army, was planned to be launched at the same time as the GCD uprising, in the more remote area of the Great Khing'an Mountains. The backbone of the rebel forces, 3,000 to 5,000 people, will be recruited from the Hu Jingyi in Chahar. These men would enter Mohe County and Tahe Town in the Great Khing'an Mountains region under the guise of the Pacific Trading Company's lumberjacks, and then launch at the same time as the Suihua Uprising led by Zhang Guotao, planning to expand the army to 10,000 men. And establish a base area in the mountainous area of the Great Khing'an Mountains.

After the establishment of the base areas of the Great and Small Khing'an Mountains, Feng Zhang's expansion in the Guannai will inevitably be curbed, and their attention will definitely return to the northeast. At the same time, he would also see the threat of the Soviet Union, and instead supported Al-Shabaab to establish a border garrison in North Manchuria and establish a border fortress in Luogan to defend against a possible invasion. After 9/18, these forces will all be transformed into armed forces to resist the invasion. At that time, the best situation may be that the anti-coalition forces occupy North Manchuria with the support of the Soviet Union and occupy the South Manchurian army to confront each other. The Feng army controlled the Rehe and Liaoxi corridors to resist the Yue army, so that the northeast was always in a state of war, and finally slowly dragged down the Yue Ben.
