The sound of artillery suddenly fell silent, and after using the armored cavalry brigade to deliver a thunderous blow to the Japanese position, all the offensive kinetic energy of the Northeast Army was finally exhausted

Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling stood side by side in the advance headquarters on the Little Bauhinia Mountain, holding binoculars to see the whole of this offensive and defensive battle. All the tanks and armored vehicles of Zhang Xueliang's most valuable armored cavalry brigade were exhausted in a single attack, and although they successfully captured one of the Japanese defense lines, they did not achieve the intended goal of cutting off the Japanese troops, but only forced them back to the third line of defense. It is clear that for such a defensive zone of great depth, a small number of tanks and armored vehicles alone will not help at all.

Guo Songling shook his head lightly, it seems that it is time to switch to the defense next, and fight for the consolidation of the base area of the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Federation, Han Qing. ”

Zhang Xueliang's face was like ashes. The combat effectiveness of the devil is beyond imagination, just relying on grenades and Molotov cocktails, he actually disabled an armored cavalry brigade, and more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles were all destroyed, and how much could not be repaired? These treasures were painstakingly saved by their father and son, and they were so distressed that their livers trembled.

He said in a low voice that he would arrange for the troops to withdraw to the west bank of the Daling River tonight, and to repair the defensive offensive as soon as possible. We must improve our defenses before the main Japanese forces arrive. And also...... Will the Japanese land on the sea to the south? Huludao, Shanhaiguan, Beidaihe, the defense office of these places? Will our navy be able to hold it? Do you want to ask the Kuomintang to help you figure it out? ”

Guo Songling put down the telescope in his hand, nodded and Han Qing thought thoughtfully, our navy can't stop the Japanese combined fleet, the only way is to ask the Kuomintang to lay mines on the sea between the Changshan Islands and the Port of Arthur, as long as it can block the passage of the Japanese navy, Jinzhou will have a way to support it. He thought about it for a while, and then said that I will go to Wuhan to talk to the Kuomintang about this matter, and by the way, I will talk about the way out of our Northeast Army. Han Qing, do you have an order not to skip words.

Zhang Xueliang was stunned for a moment, and talked about the way out for the Northeast Army, which was to defect to the Kuomintang...... If you don't mediate the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party a long time ago, and offend Chiang Kai-shek, and now go to take refuge, will Lao Chiang wear small shoes? And where should GCD be explained? The Eighth Route Army of the People's Republic of China also died in this battle, and many people died, and his mind turned, and he said in a low voice, Teacher, don't mention the matter of defecting to the Kuomintang for the time being, and wait until this battle is fought. Right now, GCD's Eighth Route Army and Seventeenth Route Army can fight side by side with us," he paused and said, and Rehe, Tang Dahu's attitude is a little ambiguous, do you think there is a way to turn Rehe into our direct territory? It's a place to stay, right? No less words"

Guo Songling's eyes were slightly disappointed, how big is Rehe? 200,000 troops went to live in Rehe? He shook his head, sighed, and waited for Jinzhou to finish fighting, why don't we just send the army to the Rehe area? How many soldiers does Tang Yulin have? Can you stop our 100,000 or 200,000 people? Just ......"

Zhang Xueliang's face sank slightly, and he waved his hand to arrange it like this, whether he wants to defect to the Kuomintang, I have to wait and see for a while. Let's see if the Kuomintang is really sincere to us, and we also need to see if they are really anti-Japanese? ”

Guo Songling saw the student's righteous words, but he sneered at you in his heart, I'm afraid I still can't let go of the honor above 10,000 people, right? There are not many words" But on the surface, he just smiled and patted Zhang Xueliang's shoulder Han Qing...... I'll leave for Wuhan early in the morning, and I'll be able to do it in two or three days at most, and let Wei Youren (Wei Yisan) and Rong Zhen assist you in the affairs here. ”

Zhang Xueliang also restrained his expression, and pointed to the Japanese position opposite, and the combat power of the Japanese army was nothing more than that, didn't our Northeast Army also force them back? Right now, it's just us and GCD here...... If the Kuomintang is also willing to send troops to Jinzhou, are you still afraid that Liaoji will not be able to collect it? Teacher, you go to Wuhan and talk to Chiang Kai-shek Luo Yaoguo again to see if it is possible to ask them to send troops? Even if it's just an air force."

……

In the city of Harbin, amid the huge cheers of Harbin citizens on both sides of the street, the officers and men of the First Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Federation who could not see the end were setting off in a stream, and slogans, flags, and streamers were flying in the sound of firecrackers. The first soldier wearing a dogskin hat and an arrogant look on his face rode a short Mongolian horse, carrying a carriage, a gun carriage, a machine gun of the 16th Cavalry, a 13th rifle, and a mortar, and seemed to be unstoppable surging forward. In front of the citizens of Harbin and spy personnel from all walks of life is a well-equipped and majestic army with high morale, and even the march is full of great murderous spirit, with such elite soldiers, the Japanese soldiers who are wreaking havoc in South Manchuria may not be able to reach Harbin, right? No small number of words

Zhang Zuoxiang, Jiang Dengxuan, and Yang Yuting rode on horses, and the honor guard and military band selected by the Northeast Army, which had not yet hung up the anti-Japanese alliance brand, saw off this friendly unit on the street. Their troops are also well-dressed and neat, and they carry brand-new Type 38 rifles, as well as the same number of cannons and machine guns, but they always feel very different from the army in front of them. Zhang Zuoxiang was wearing a full set of general's dresses, his expression was complicated, and the expressions of the two people around him were also very strange, in the territory of the Northeast Army, there was such an army, it was really a thing that made them feel a little embarrassed.

Zhang Zuoxiang sighed, and suddenly turned his head and asked Jiang Deng next to him to choose Chaoliu, do you see them going south to fight devils? ”

Jiang Dengxuan frowned, their quality and combat effectiveness may be stronger than ours, but compared with the Japanese, it may not be, and after all, they only have 40,000 people, and the Japanese have nearly 200,000 in South Manchuria, so they don't have to fight. ”

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded, expressing his agreement with Jiang Dengxuan's opinion, and the expression on his face had turned into worry. The main force of the Northeast Army fought in Jinzhou, and he was the first to fight in an unfavorable situation. If this army is defeated by the Japanese army again, it is estimated that it will be difficult for North Manchurian to preserve, and the Northeast Army will really not even have any scum left.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, if they go south to fight and win, even if it is a small victory, we will have to join the Anti-Japanese Federation, otherwise the brothers below will not do it, but that Wang Zhongyi can be ruthless, but if they are defeated. As soon as Japan comes to Ming'er, our strength is not enough, this thing is really not left and right......" He asked Yang Yuting again, can the Kuomintang pull up the Third Army of the Anti-Alliance? ”

Yang Yuting was stunned by his question, where is it so fast to pull a team for a while? That's not a lever...... I estimate that it is already a miracle to be able to form an army in three months, and it seems that it will take at least half a year to fight. ”

Zhang Zuoxiang smiled deeply, hoping to be a neighbor, I will suggest to Han Qing that the chairman of Heilongjiang Province be the chairman of Heilongjiang Province, you quickly find a way to help the Kuomintang recruit troops and buy horses, if you can't use ropes to tie up, you have to tie people up."

Yang Yuting was stunned and stunned, he shouldn't have replied for a while, but Zhang Zuoxiang muttered to himself in an inaudible voice, If Beiman is Wang Zhongyi's dominance, then there is really no way for us to live, but what if Wang Zhongyi and the Kuomintang fight against each other? When the time comes, we local snakes will be worth a lot...... Isn't this how veterans developed back then, not skipping words.

……

Next to the street, on the third floor of a building with the platoon of the headquarters of the anti-Japanese coalition army hanging at the door, Luo Yaoguo and Wang Zhongyi were also watching the scene of the army's march. It was Lin Yurong's idea to send troops in such a big way, and he believed that the main purpose of this "Xiajiang (Songhua River) South" was not to grab territory, nor was it to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army. It's to create an impact and start the brand of the Anti-United Nations. Therefore, I am not afraid of others, but I am afraid that others will not say it again, and with the Japanese infiltration of Northeast China for 20 years, this time the dispatch of troops cannot be concealed in any case, so it is better to put it in front of everyone in an open and honest manner.

However, on the eve of the dispatch of troops, news of the failure of the Northeast Army's offensive came from Jinzhou, which seemed to cast a shadow on this dispatch. At this time, Luo Yaoguo's eyebrows kept frowning lightly, and Wang Zhongyi was silent.

The Japanese army used at most three divisions to defend against the attack of 300,000 troops of the Northeast Army and the GCD coalition army, so that their troop dispatch was much more relaxed. In particular, the four divisions that had already arrived in Lushun one after another could attack west after merging with the Japanese troops on the front line of the Daling River and expelling the Northeast Army from the northeast. It can also come north to seize Harbin and strangle it while the Anti-Japanese Federation has not yet grown

The two were silent for a while, and Luo Yaoguo said Big brother, are you sure that you will go south this time without skipping words.

"Yes" Wang Zhongyi replied simply, he smiled and pointed to the army on the street Lin Yurong and said that he is sure, so I am sure, and his grasp is my grasp. ”

Luo Yaoguo was stunned when he heard this, these words were what Cao Kun said about Wu Peifu back then, and now they are used by Wang Zhongyi and put on Lin Yurong. He smiled and nodded, since that was the case, I was relieved. He turned around and beckoned to Wan Yan Hao, who was standing behind, and invited the spy leader of the three eastern provinces to the front, pointing at him and saying to Wang Zhongyi, Yan Wenqiang is in charge of the entire network of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Northeast, which is worth 100,000 soldiers, and this time I will hand over this intelligence network to the eldest brother." As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Hao again.

Wan Yan Hao stood upright, and respectfully performed a military salute at Wang Zhongyi, and finished Yan Hao saw Zhong Gong. ”

Wang Zhongyi patted Yan Hao's shoulder, and said with a smile Wenqiang's ability, I am right, with him by my side, this Beimanchu territory is unbreakable. ”

Luo Yaoguo also laughed loudly and said that as long as we and the Northeast Army are sincerely united, regardless of each other, little Japan will not want to take away North Manchuria from us, even the rivers and mountains of South Manchuria, they don't want to sit firmly" He glanced back at the army that was still on the move, and took a deep breath Guo Songling is going to Wuhan today for help...... I'll leave right away, trying to see him in the evening. Now, although their Northeast Army has failed in its attack, it has not yet been defeated after all. As long as they could hold on to Jinzhou, the Japanese would not dare to let go of their hands and feet and go north. Even if it drags on for three months, the North Manchurian base area can be consolidated. ”

"In addition...... It's GCD. He paced a few steps behind his back, his eyebrows furrowed, did they still have contact with the eldest brother now? Big brother is still a member of the Politburo, right? No less words"

Wang Zhongyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, I, a member of the Politburo, have not attended a single Politburo meeting, and it is estimated that I will not be able to come back if I go to the next meeting. However, the resolutions of their Politburo meetings were sometimes communicated to me, such as this time when they set up a special commission in Manchuria. The secretary is Liu Qi, and I was also appointed secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee and political commissar of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and commander and political commissar of the North Manchurian Military Region...... Don't you mean that? ”

Luo Yaoguo glanced at Wanyan Hao Wenqiang, who was upright and expressionless, tell me, what do they mean? ”

Wan Yanhao smiled lightly and said that this is Zhong G's desire to divide the sphere of influence with Zhonggong, and now the Anti-Japanese Federation has an army of 100,000, and the weapons and equipment and food are sufficient, and it is only a matter of a few months to expand the 300,000 people. And Zhong G's power in Manchuria is just starting, and it's not the time to turn against us, so it's time to envelop Zhong Gong. And it is estimated that they are now going to encircle Zhang Xueliang, who has just lost the battle, right? No less words"

……

Beijing, Zhongnanhai West Flower Hall.

The Soviet military adviser Cui Kov, who followed the Eighth Route Army and the Seventeenth Route Army to Jinzhou, had rushed back to Beijing overnight, and was briefing the leaders of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Central Committee on the situation of yesterday's war. Hearing the heavy losses suffered by the 22nd Division of the Eighth Route Army when it broke through the Japanese defense line of the Daling River, the participants all frowned tightly, and the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became gloomy.

“…… After the attack of the armored cavalry brigade of the Northeast Army was crushed by the Japanese invaders, General Zhang Xueliang decided to abandon the offensive plan and turn to the defense on all fronts, and took advantage of the previous night to complete the retreat from the east bank of the Daling River. Now the Jinzhou front has returned to the confrontation situation before the war. ”

Chuikov stood in front of a newly hung military map, whip in his hand and pointing. In the end, he turned around and looked at Zhou Elai and Mao ZD with a solemn face:

"Comrade Zhu D and I made a preliminary estimate that in yesterday's battle, the losses of our army, including the Northeast Army and the G Army, were about 20,000 people, of which the Eighth Route Army lost more than 6,000 people. In addition, the consumption of artillery shells is also very huge, and yesterday at least nearly 50,000 rounds of various artillery and mortar shells were knocked out in one day, so the front line urgently needs to replenish personnel and equipment, otherwise it will be difficult for Jinzhou to hold on for a long time. In addition, the western Liaoning corridor is close to the Bohai Bay, and the defense of the beach also needs to be solved urgently."

Mao ZD's face was pale, he smoked a stuffy cigarette one by one, and when he heard Cui Kefu's question, he just smiled coldly and killed 20,000 in one day, this Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling really don't know how to fight, and then hand over the army to them, and if they don't give as many troops as they want, they will run out as many troops? I don't think what we need to think about now is to replenish troops and weapons and equipment, but to replace front-line generals and send generals who can really fight. ”

"Replace Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling?" Zhou Elai took a deep breath, glanced at Mao ZD, and said coldly The Northeast Army is a team that the Zhang family has been running for more than 20 years, and they only work hard for the Zhang family, where can we replace? ”

Mao ZD snorted, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, took out another cigarette and lit it on fire, and took a few puffs Zhang Xueliang Guo Songling's position in the Northeast Army cannot be removed, but the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Front can always send someone else, right? Without a lot of words, we can set up a Northeast Theater and appoint Comrade Zhu D as commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater, Zhang Xueliang and Wang Zhongyi as deputy commanders-in-chief, and Deng Yanda and Guo Songling as chief and deputy chiefs of staff. The Northeast War of Resistance must be under unified command, and each cannot be allowed to do a set" He turned his head and looked at Zhou E to come to E, do you see if you can give Wang Zhongyi the number of the two road armies, and also incorporate the Anti-Japanese Federation into the sequence of the central government? ”

Zhou Elai was stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he just looked at Mao ZD. Mao ZD's face was gloomy, and he talked eloquently about the Japanese in order to succeed in Liaoning? Isn't it because the Kuomintang has set up a separate central committee to split the country, and now that Wang Zhongyi has come up with a resistance to the United Nations, I think it is still a conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and we must try to resolve it. He must not be left alone and allowed to create a third central government in the Northeast."

“…… In addition, the matter of reinforcing the Jinzhou front line cannot be carried by our family alone. At present, it is difficult for us to command the Kuomintang, but the Youth Army still plays the sign of the Beijing Central Committee and asks Wang Zixing to send 100,000 troops to help in the war. If he doesn't come, their al-Shabaab signboard of 'resisting strong enemies outside and punishing national thieves inside' will be completely smashed."

Zhou Elai twisted his thick eyebrows and thought for a moment, but still shook his head, Comrade Runzhi's proposal to establish the Northeast Theater of Operations, I think it is feasible. However, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater is still Zhang Xueliang, and Comrade Zhu D and Comrade Wang Zhongyi are the deputy commanders-in-chief; It is okay for Deng Yanda and Guo Songling to be the chief and deputy chiefs of staff, but now Comrade Deng Yanda is a leftist of the Kuomintang, so this can be regarded as a joint war of resistance. Moreover, there are also Kuomintang people in the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Federation, and with Deng Yanda in the group, the work of the united front is also easy to carry out. ”

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside the door, Zhao Yan hurriedly pushed the door and walked in, still holding a telegram in his hand, Harbin Urgent Telegram, Wang Zhongyi sent Lin Yurong and Tang Yao to command 40,000 cavalry to go to Jilin, and he just swore in the Songbei camp today. At this time, he is swaggering on the streets of Harbin. ”

Mao ZD's face changed, and Zhou Elai was also taken aback, and hurriedly strode up to Zhao Yan, took the telegram and read it several times. This Wang Zhongyi really ate the heart of a bear and the leopard dared to use 40,000 soldiers to fight Jilin.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask about the plan, he saw Mao ZD raise his hand and said with a smile, the matter of appointing Wang Zhongyi as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater can be postponed for a while, and we will see the results of this battle. ”
