The Northeast Army was the only army in the country with a complete navy, land and air force during the Republic of China. Formerly known as the Feng army under the command of the warlord Zhang Zuolin, many people refer to it as the Feng army, and its control area covers the entire three eastern provinces.

At the end of 1928, after Zhang Xueliang changed banners in the northeast, the Feng army was reorganized by the central government into the Northeast Frontier Army of the National Revolutionary Army, referred to as the 'Northeast Army'. It's just that today's Northeast Army seems somewhat out of place.

In 1931, the September 18 Incident broke out, and Zhang Xueliang ordered the Northeast Army to retreat into the Guannai in order to preserve his strength. Since then, the Northeast Army, which has lost the three eastern provinces, has lost the three eastern provinces, even if its strength is still strong, but it has lost the foundation of the three eastern provinces on which they depend.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang, who served as the deputy commander of the suppression, also felt a little dilemma in the face of the voices of many officers and men of the Northeast Army calling for 'recovering the lost territory'. There was also some resistance to the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army.

In the face of the Red Army fighting all the way from southern Jiangxi to northern Shaanxi at this time, after seeing Yang Hucheng's troops, since they adopted an attitude of self-protection and defense. Zhang Xueliang also knew that in the matter of encircling and suppressing the Red Army, he was afraid that he could not go too far.

And the reason why Zhang Xueliang really felt that it was necessary to think twice about this matter was the one who was far away in Nanjing. The Northeast Army under its control has always been vigilant, and has repeatedly defaulted on the payment of military salaries.

When he learned that the main force of the Red Army had surrounded the Yan'an regiment where its two main divisions were stationed, it never took the offensive. Zhang Xueliang also realized that the top brass of the Red Army was afraid and did not want to fight hard with the Northeast Army.

It's just that the city of Yan'an, which is controlled by it, is afraid that it will be handed over to the Red Army. In view of this situation, Zhang Xueliang also ordered the two main divisions of the Northeast Army to be stationed as long as they held on and waited for the Red Army to negotiate.

If the Red Army does not negotiate, it will go directly to the offensive. Then they can also fight back on the spot. How to fight next, Zhang Xueliang naturally has his own plans. At least in his opinion, this battle should not be fought.

Sure enough, the two main divisions of the independent column that surrounded Yan'an, the Second Division and the Third Division. It was only deployed outside Yan'an City, and not a single shot was fired at Yan'an City. The two sides have a tacit understanding and quietly wait for the arrival of decision-making power.

And at the moment the fourth division of the independent column. However, in cooperation with the Red Third Army Corps, he began to expand the Red Army's control area to the border with Shanxi. For those Northeast Army who were taken prisoner, most of them were sent out of the country as gifts.

Only the two main divisions of the Northeast Army in Yan'an City are trying to break through at this moment, but I am afraid that it is unlikely. In view of this situation, Zhang Xueliang has also been paying attention to the situation in Yan'an, waiting for the arrival of the commander of the independent column.

He Zhengdao, who led the independent cavalry brigade from Wayaobao to Yan'an City, quickly asked people to send his own handwritten letter to the Northeast Army in the city. Regarding the matter of peace talks with the Northeast Army, naturally, I also consulted the headquarters.

It was learned that the commander of the most famous column in the Red Army had arrived. Zhang Xueliang has seen the conditions set by He Zhengdao, which are the same as those of the Northwest Army. Keep the weapons and ammunition of the Northeast Army stationed in Yan'an, and send them away from northern Shaanxi.

Even if he knew that such a negotiation would annoy the one who was far away in Nanjing, Zhang Xueliang also understood. The main forces of the two divisions in Yan'an now do not have much confidence in fighting to the death with the Red Army.

During this time, although the besieging Red Army did not make any siege moves. Can stand on the walls of the defenders. I could feel that the Red Army was stronger than they thought. Fight with such troops. There's nothing cheap to take advantage of!

Let our people get in touch with that side, the Red Army's conditions are still very sincere. At present, northern Shaanxi has been effectively controlled by them, and the result of fighting to the end will only make both of us lose. ’

Zhang Xueliang, who gave such a conclusion, quickly sent his instructions back to the Yan'an defenders. Two division commanders who received the telegram. Soon one stayed in the city, and the other went out of the city to contact He Zhengdao.

After receiving the reply from the Northeast Army in the city, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Okay! It's better not to fight, or not to fight. Although we turned to war along the way, we lost the southern Jiangxi Soviet area. But now. We're still getting stronger and stronger.

Although today's Northeast Army is still strong. But having lost the three eastern provinces, they are actually like rootless duckweed. If the old Zhang family has a strong foundation and is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that this army will disperse long ago. ”

Wang Tianlin, the chief of staff of the column, who listened to He Zhengdao's sigh, also nodded and said, "Yes! That Zhang Shaoshuai issued a policy of non-resistance back then, thinking that he could preserve his strength. But he didn't expect that it would be difficult for him to go back again. ”

After the liaison officers of the two sides were confirmed, it was finally decided to meet outside Yan'an. On the other side was a division commander of the Northeast Army. On the side of the Red Army, in order to show sincerity, He Zhengdao personally stepped out.

Wait until the two parties arrive at the place of the meeting, after a polite exchange. He Zhengdao's talkative and youthful nature also left a deep impression on those involved in the negotiations in the Northeast Army. It also seemed surprising that the commander of the first column of the Red Army turned out to be like this.

Just when He Zhengdao shook hands with the commander of the Northeast Army, intending to end this meeting. He Zhengdao, who had never relaxed his vigilance, soon saw a major standing on the side of the Northeast Army's negotiation team suddenly make a move to pull his gun.

This dangerous move made the guards who were close to He Zhengdao immediately exclaim: "Commander, be careful! ”

He Zhengdao, who was blocked by the guards, also did not slow down to erase a flying knife. When the opponent fired a shot and hit the guard in front of him, the throwing knife also pierced the opponent's wrist.

This sudden scene caused the officers and men of the reconnaissance regiment who were protecting He Zhengdao to instantly turn their guns on the side of the Northeast Army, which was also caught off guard. The division commander was equally incredulous when he heard the sound of gunfire coming from behind him.

Looking at the major who was holding his wrists and being controlled, he was very shocked and said, "Lin Xiao, what are you doing?" You all put down your guns for me, and don't fall for other people's calculations. Lin Xiao, who are you? ”

When the division commander of the Northeast Army questioned the major who fired the gun, looking at the guard who was shot in the shoulder, He Zhengdao was also very concerned and said: "Three boys, how are you?" ”

'It's okay! ’

Looking at the guard who was covering his shoulders and grinning a little and saying that it was okay, He Zhengdao also seemed very moved. This security guard Zhao Sanyuan, who was two years older than himself (book friends 520, 89, 65 cameo), also followed him all the way from the southern Jiangsu District.

When he broke through the Xiangjiang River earlier, after being broken up with the troops, he was finally collected by He Zhengdao and joined the independent regiment. Later, after being selected into the reconnaissance regiment, he was selected into the guard company because he had a little kung fu foundation and good marksmanship.

'No! To the east, put the gun down, and quickly take the three men to bandage it. ’

'Yes, Commander! But them! ’

'Didn't you hear what Master Xu said? This has nothing to do with Master Xu! If Master Xu and they were not sincere in the peace talks, they would not have brought only these few people out. Okay, don't let a little thing affect the trust between our two armies. ’

Such words made Xu Youchang, who was very embarrassed, also seem relieved. He said apologetically: "Commander He, I'm very sorry! I really didn't expect that I, the staff officer, would do such a thing to you. ”

'No problem! If my guess is correct, this Staff Officer Lin should be acting on orders, right? I have long heard that the Central Army has infiltrated your Northeast Army very deeply, and now it seems that this is really the case!

If you dare to shoot in such a situation, it means that you have the will to die. This is the first time I've met you, and it stands to reason that we don't have a life-and-death feud. You're not afraid of death but you're going to get things done, which reminds me of where you came from. Renaissance's, right? ’

While he was saying these words, He Zhengdao kept staring at the major who was holding his wrists and not saying a word. When he said 'do what he was told', the other party's eyes flashed. When it came to the 'Renaissance Society', the other party seemed to be a little excited.

Immediately, he said, "I don't know what you're talking about!" All I know is that you are all sinners of the nation. It is because of you people that the country has become what it is now. I can't kill you this time, count you away!

It's just that you don't want to be complacent, I believe that sooner or later, you will be punished as you deserve. And you, who take the military salary of the government, but privately collude with the enemy ordered by the government to be cleared, you all deserve to die! ”

'Lin Xiao, are you really a fine work sent by the government? ’

Previously, Xu You often heard He Zhengdao's words, and thought that He Zhengdao was deceiving this Lin Xiao. As a result, he didn't expect that Lin Xiao, who was in a fanatical state, seemed to be not afraid of death at all, and said such words to them.

'Master, I'm not a small worker. I just know that I should pursue the faith. You have all betrayed your faith, so you are all traitors. Traitors, everyone will be punished! ’

Such remarks made He Zhengdao laugh and said: "Master Xu, it seems that it is rare for you to have a loyal person under your command!" I've always heard people say that your Director Dai is a master of intelligence warfare.

Now it seems that it really lives up to its reputation. If it weren't for the cleverness of my guards today, I guess I would have let you succeed if I wasn't a good guy. Once I am killed, my subordinates will definitely kill Master Xu and them.

In this way, the peace talks between our two armies will be completely destroyed. At that time, even if our army takes Yan'an City, Zhang Shaoshuai, who does not know the situation, will definitely think that this matter is an ambush deliberately set up by our army. A few birds with one stone, so calculating! ”

'Humph! ’

Lin Xiao, who was angrily despised by the representatives of the Northeast Army who participated in the negotiations, who was analyzed by He Zhengdao, did not seem to be afraid at all. Such a fanaticism made He Zhengdao also feel that this was a talent. It's a pity that it's the talent who has been deceived!

Just when Xu Youchang was a little annoyed and angry, he was about to pull out a gun and kill him on the spot. He Zhengdao made a surprising move, took his hand and said, "Master Xu, such a loyal man, it's a pity to kill him!" ”

After saying this, not to mention that these representatives of the Northeast Army were stunned, even Li Xiangdong and others were also stunned. But then, He Zhengdao's reasons finally allowed this Lin Xiao to survive. What an accident! (To be continued.) )
