Chapter 34: Coercion Order

Seeing this group of recruits who had regrouped, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he arrived in time, otherwise he would be killed by this group of ronins into Fengtian City, Wang Tiehan, who had not yet achieved an overwhelming advantage at this time, was only afraid that he would be bent down to the enemy, and maybe he would be defeated by the Japanese army from both sides. And these recruits of the East Battalion also need to see blood, in order to better survive in the fierce battle behind, with a plan in his heart, Jiang Li did not shoot as crazy as before, but just raised a rifle and commanded the soldiers to attack, and when the attack was frustrated, he raised his gun to solve the thorn.

If the pursuing Japanese army is a regular Japanese army, even if it is Jiang Li, it will be difficult to win back a city in this situation, but the military quality of these ronins is not very good, to put it bluntly, it is no different from a group of brave and fierce Jianghu people. A team of several hundred people was not enough to kill in the face of the army's counterattack. Jiang Li led the rout almost all the way to the East Camp, those ronins died and fled, and it couldn't be a climate for a while, so Jiang Li took these new troops back to the East Camp to clean up the mess.

"Can the phone call in Dongdaying get through now?" At this time, the Dongda Battalion was filled with a bloody atmosphere, and the original person in charge could no longer be found, Jiang Li directly pulled Ren Jianguo, the commander of the 975th Battalion of the 7th Brigade stationed in the Dongda Battalion, over and asked.

"Yes." Ren Jianguo nodded with a guilty face, compared to the recruits of the Dongda Battalion, the 975th Battalion is the old foundation of the 7th Brigade, but the two thousand and hundreds of people were scattered by hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and nearly half of them were killed and wounded.

"Contact Dongta Airport right away, I'm going to talk to that side." Jiang Li's concern for the Dongta airfield is still above the Dongda Battalion, after all, the role of aviation in the war is irreplaceable, far more effective than the more than 1,000 recruits on the side of the Dongda Battalion, and it was also because the Japanese army attacked too quickly everywhere, Jiang Li couldn't spare the energy to go to the Dongta airfield.

"Hey, I'm the adjutant of Chief of Staff Zhang of the Border Staff Department, looking for Director Chen of the Aviation Department." After the phone was connected, Jiang Li didn't bother to explain to the other party how the commander of his 7th Brigade spoke instead of Zhang Haipeng, so he directly used the name of Adjutant Zhang Haipeng.

"Hey, I'm Chen Haihua, didn't Chief of Staff Zhang tell me to consider the situation on my own, what instructions do you have now?" Listening to Chen Haihua's voice on the phone, the other party was not small.

"Has the airport been attacked by Japanese soldiers in the countryside now?" Jiang Li ignored Chen Haihua's dissatisfied tone and asked directly.

"The Japanese appeared, but the number of Japanese troops who attacked was relatively small, less than 100 people, and the commander of the garrison battalion, Qiu Battalion, had a hot temper, and I couldn't command it, and killed a few Japanese soldiers, and those Japanese retreated, probably organizing troops and preparing to continue attacking the airfield." Chen Haihua patiently explained.

"All planes, for the time being, do not fly to Jinzhou, all stay at the airport on standby, the situation has changed, the Japanese army attacked our northern camp, the troops of the eastern battalion were all annihilated, and the 29th wing that attacked Fengtian City was also surrounded by our superior forces. At present, the authorized airfield garrison battalion of the Frontier General Staff Headquarters can counterattack on the spot in the event of any Japanese attack, and regardless of the casualties of Japanese soldiers, the protection of airport security is the first priority in everything. Jiang Li's voice said firmly, "In addition, all flights are ready to standby, and there will be a battle tomorrow." ”

"All the pilots are not at the airport, they all go back to their homes in Fengtian City, and they have to trouble Fengtian City to notify them one by one, and send troops to escort the pilots back to the airport, so that it will not affect the war tomorrow, and how can the young marshal explain it?" Chen Haihua's voice softened a little, which was like what a person said, but soon Chen Haihua was worried about the pressure from Zhang Xueliang, as for Nanjing, Zhang Xueliang really wanted to resist, and it was not Zhang Xueliang's words. As an internal member of the Northeast Army, Chen Haihua did not take Nanjing to heart at this time.

"The situation in Fengtian was underestimated before, and now that our Northeast Army has the upper hand in Fengtian, there is no need to retreat from the compromise and seek perfection, and now the Fengtian war situation has explained everything, the young marshal is far away in Beiping, and he will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected, and the governor of Tibet also means this, and the young marshal will blame it in the future, and the border staff headquarters and the 7th Brigade as the main force of this operation will naturally bear it." Jiang Li's words undoubtedly reassured Chen Haihua. "You immediately have the names of the pilots and their family details sent by telegram, and I will send someone to find them and escort them back to the airport. The 7th Brigade is ready to fight, and the 1st and 2nd Provincial Defense Brigades have already sent troops to help, supplemented by aviation, and in Mukden, even if the whole division of the Kwantung Army comes to attack, it will have the strength to fight. ”

"Can I say a few words to Chief of Staff Zhang?" Chen Haihua was a little suspicious over there, this order was too far from Zhang Haipeng's previous order of resolute non-resistance.

"Chief of Staff, Director Chen wants you to answer the phone to confirm." Jiang Li took down the phone and looked at Zhang Haipeng.

"Hey, Director Chen, I'm Zhang Haipeng, and now I have just defeated the Japanese army in Dongdaying, so I will give you an order verbally, and then I will invent a telegram with you when I return to the staff headquarters." At this time, Zhang Haipeng, who had already turned into one ear, saw Jiang Li looking over, his body trembled, and he walked over to take the phone.

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away." Chen Haihua said busily on the phone. Can resist the Japanese army, who wants to carry out that desperate order?

In addition, in the name of the Frontier Staff Department and the name of Chief of Staff Zhang, he ordered the 1st Brigade of Zhishan Provincial Defense, the 2nd Brigade of Taonan Provincial Defense, the 3rd Brigade of Zhang Shuchang's Cavalry, the 20th Brigade of Changjingwu, and the 12th Brigade of Zhang Tingshu to immediately rush to the aid of Fengtiancheng. The armies of Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces were ordered to counterattack the Japanese attack on the spot. Jiang Li said again.

Zhang Haipeng agreed to issue an order according to Jiang Li's request, he had no doubt that once he refused, Jiang Li would be able to cut off his head with a knife, and what Jiang Li did he had witnessed with his own eyes could no longer be described as bold. Along the way, he couldn't remember how many Japanese soldiers Jiang Li had killed, and in short, he wouldn't mind his extra lives under his men. It's better to die than to live, Zhang Haipeng doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to live as well as die. I only hope that after the Second Provincial Defense Brigade arrives in Fengtian, it can take him out of the sea of suffering, and I hope that Jiang Li can keep his promise.

Knowing that the Dongta airfield is now safe and sound, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when it came to the importance, the more than 2,000 new troops on the side of Dongdaying were not as good as the airport. The role played by aviation in the war at this time was not something that could be replaced by a few thousand people. At least if the Japanese army wants to mobilize enough aviation from Korea, it will take a certain amount of time for the base camp to mobilize, and before that, if the troops on hand are enough, Jiang Li can still beat the main force of the Kwantung Army that arrived in a hurry, after all, the entire Kwantung Army is dominated by the second division. According to the standard configuration of the Japanese army, 48 artillery pieces, and a certain amount of heavy artillery, armor, and aviation. After the annihilation of the 29th Wing at this time, the loss of artillery has reached 24. When it comes to firepower, can it be compared to the Mukden garrison that has the savings of the entire Mukden Arsenal? Jiang Li's heart was a little relieved, he had worked hard until now, and he could finally get a chance to breathe.
