Chapter 96: Unified Caliber
Tibetan Shiyi and Gao Zhihang nodded silently when they heard this, and at this time, some sane people could feel the greed from Japan. Nanjing and Zhang Xueliang were not unaware, but they were not prepared for war at this time, and they were just delaying the outbreak of a full-scale war. Compared with North China, although northern Shaanxi is poor, it is located inland, there is a natural danger of the Yellow River, and it is still relatively difficult for the Japanese army to enter Shaanxi, but taking root in Shaanxi also means a complete break with Zhang Xueliang and starting a new stove in Shaanxi. As a literati, Tibetan Yi can't make a decision.
"Then let's go to northern Shaanxi, do you want to make any preparations for the air force?" To Jiang Li's surprise, it was Gao Zhihang who decided to go down the fastest.
"For the time being, it is a preparation for war, the Korean Japanese army will definitely invade the south in a big way, and it is only a matter of time before the Japanese air force stationed in Korea rushes to the Mukden battlefield, we must hold Mukden for a few months, buy enough time for the machinery, people, and food to retreat, and we must not leave anything of value for the Japanese." Jiang Li said coldly.
"Well, it's better to remove it than to leave it to the Japanese." Tibetan Yi was also reluctant to Fengtian's large family business before, and he also had illusions about Zhang Xueliang's return to Fengtian, at this time realizing the cruelty of reality, Tibetan Yi finally made a decision, and between Zhang Xueliang and Jiang Li, Tibetan Yi also had his own considerations.
Jiang Li arbitrarily seized the Northeast Bank, and the Bank of China Branch in the Northeast paid a large amount of cash. Food, clothing, machinery countless, since serving as the governor of Fengtian, Tibetan Yi has made great achievements in financial management, with his eyes, at this time Zhang Xueliang has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but going to North China may not be better than northern Shaanxi. As long as Jiang Li's machinery is put into production one after another, the potential of northern Shaanxi will definitely be much greater than that of northern China.
"With the Tibetan governor coming forward to organize, I think things will go a lot smoother.
If we work together, things will go much smoother.
Captain Gao and I will continue to be in charge of the frontal battlefield, and Commander Huang will be responsible for recruiting and training the new army.
Contact the local armies of Jilin and Heilongjiang. The Tibetan governor was responsible for organizing the great migration. ”
Jiang Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and now the military and political leaders of Fengtian City have finally unified their opinions, don't look at Tibetan Shiyi as a literati, but in the rear, resource operation is an expert, and Jiang Li and Huang Xiansheng are not comparable in this regard.
"Although the main forces of the Kwantung Army were defeated,
However, the Japanese army has at least two divisions in Korea, and it will not take a few days to transfer troops from the mainland, and Brigade Commander Jiang now only has a seventh brigade, a provincial defense brigade, and Commander Huang's police station corps, some recruits, can they stop the Japanese army for a few months? Gao Zhihang asked worriedly.
"I can't pack a ticket in this regard,
On the one hand, I have sent Commander Wang to blow up the railway from Fengcheng to Fengtian City, and at the same time encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Kwantung Army, I have also sent a force to encircle Liaoyang with the army of Anshan. Blowing up the Nanman Road from Dalian to Mukden would greatly delay the Japanese army. Most of the grain and machinery of the Japanese army in Nanman were controlled by us, and the army invaded the north, and the baggage it carried was not small, and it was impossible to reach it from Dalian in three or two days. The Xing'an Tun Zou Zuohua Brigade has now set up troops to go south, and it is a big help at the time of the boundary, and there is the most important point. ”
"What?" Huang Xiansheng, Tibetan Yi, and Gao Zhihang asked in unison.
"Winter is coming." Jiang Li smiled slightly.
"That's right, it usually starts to snow in mid-October a little earlier in the year, even if we are unlucky, hold on to the front for more than a month, and in November this snow will have to fall."
Tibetan Yi patted his head and said with a little surprise, more importantly, this time Jiang Li forcibly controlled all the property of the Manchurian Iron Co., Ltd. and obtained a large amount of cotton clothes and grain. As the Japanese army moves north, it will inevitably have to use a lot of resources in this regard. Although the weather in Mukden may not be much colder than that in mainland Japan, the labor army is far away, and the factors constrained by the weather will never be smaller, and if there is more snow and there is no railway, the supply of the Japanese army will inevitably be more difficult.
Of course, it is in this case that
Jiang Li didn't think that he could finally hold Fengtian City, once Japan's national strength broke out, it was not these factors that could level the balance of strength between the two sides, and Jiang Li had too few troops in his hands.

"Smack, smack, smack!" Kawagishi Bunzaburo's ears and melon seeds are thrown on Sada's face without money.
"Yaga, yours, incompetence, because of your cowardice, caused the main force of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army to suffer a near-devastating blow!" Kawagishi Bunzaburo was extremely angry, the casualties of the personnel of the Second Division were small, Japan could still afford this loss, the ineffective combat of the Second Division could still allow people of different factions to take the opportunity to take the position, the Kwantung Army was at ease outside, and it was a fat difference to sit in the northeast, but many people looked down on this position. What really made Kawagishi Bunzaburo angry was the destruction of the railway, which made his 39th mixed brigade arrive outside Mukden City in two or three days, and the feats that could be obtained became boiled ducks and flew away. rushed over from North Korea in a hurry, but was still stopped in Fengcheng.
"Hi, hi!" In the face of Kawagishi Bunzaburo's outrage,
Sadajun could only nod his head frequently at this time, and he didn't even dare to speak out to defend himself before Kawagishi Bunzaburo stopped. The status of the independent garrison brigade is far inferior to that of the captain of the regular army, not to mention that Kawagishi Bunzaburo is also the commander of the major general brigade of the independent mixed brigade. Without railways, it was extremely troublesome to fight head-on or deal with the possible presence of the Chinese guerrillas in the back, and in the Russian Far East, the Japanese army suffered so much that it had to give up the fat that had come to its mouth, and the 60,000 or 70,000 troops withdrew from the Russian Far East.
"Okay, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, now is not the time to hold us accountable, our top priority now is how to meet the main force of the 39th Brigade to arrive in Mukden as soon as possible, and urge the engineers to build an advance airfield, the defeat of the Kwantung Army this time has sounded the alarm for us, the Fengtian defenders on the opposite side are not sheep like other Chinese armies. The Kwantung Army of the empire was defeated in a few days, and they had extremely strong combat effectiveness. Chief of Staff Nanata Ichiro said with a frown.
"Well, regarding the battle between the Chinese Army and the Kwantung Army, I have inquired in detail, although the Kwantung Army has a mistake of risking the enemy to advance lightly, but the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese Army and sufficient air firepower are the key to victory, and in the whole course of the war, the Kwantung Army is at an extreme disadvantage, and our strength is not more than the main force of the Kwantung Army, if the 6th Flying Wing stationed in Pyongyang does not arrive in Mukden in time, we will also face the same dilemma as the 2nd Division." Kawagishi Bunzaburo nodded and said. The secret services have transferred the approximate course of the battle to the 39 Mixed Brigade.
"It is also worth mentioning that the commander of this branch army is an extremely powerful character, more cunning and more daring than the ordinary officer of China, and if he is caught in the weak point, he is likely to be defeated. I think we will face a tough battle before the other troops arrive, and we will have to put away our previous carelessness. Nanata's face was solemn, and the loss of the Kwantung Army was a wake-up call for all Japanese troops.
"So what, in the end, the northeast of China will definitely become a stepping stone for the empire to attack the entire China, and it is just a small setback in front of us." Kawagishi Bunzaburo said proudly.
