May 4, 19311.

An armored train roared in, and before entering the station, the workers and masters working on the Middle East Road Railway raised their flags from afar. The armored train commander hissed. Slowing down with a large amount of white gas, he began to prepare to enter the railway station of Zhaodong County, Heilongjiang.

This armored train was manufactured by the arsenals of the three eastern provinces before the September 18 incident.

A gravity steam locomotive in the bow, pulling six carriages with armor plates. Except for the middle section where the dignitaries ride is not equipped with weapons. Outside the other five carriages, there were 75-millimeter mountain guns and Maxine heavy machine guns sticking out everywhere. On the front of the train, there is a nameplate, on which there is a big Feng character, indicating the identity of this armored train, which is the secret weapon of the old Zhang family and the special means of transportation for dignitaries. At the station in Zhaodong County, Ye Ting, chief of staff of the General Headquarters of the Heilongjiang Front, was already waiting there. This young marshal Zhang's henchman waited respectfully at the station, and the attachés and guards who followed him were all standing solemnly in the most standard military posture. Watching the train slowly slide into the station, the car slowly stopped, and the escalator was quickly lowered. In the midst of the white smoke, I saw a young soldier wearing the uniform of a Red Army cadre walking down sternly, followed by a large group of elite officers of the former Northeast Army Young Zhuang faction. These riding boots are shining, the spurs are clanging, and the elites of the former Northeast Army who are wearing military uniforms are naturally Comrade Zhang Xueliang, commander-in-chief of the Heilongjiang Front of the Red Army. This time, he came to Zhaodong County in order to be close to the battlefield and personally command the strategic operation against Qiqihar.

Zhang Xueliang glanced around at the station and didn't see any acquaintances. In particular, there was no trace of Guo Songling, a confidant general who was once inseparable from him, and now he has completely defected to the Kuomintang and served as the "chief" of the Liaoning Provincial Government, to stabilize the rule of Liaoning Province for the Kuomintang. Zhang Xueliang sighed softly, walked towards Ye Ting, the chief of staff assigned to him by the Central Committee, stretched out his hand and shook him, and asked without greeting him: "Why didn't Chaoliu come?" Are you already personally supervising the troops? What about the morale of the troops? Are there any emotions? He went on to explain: "After all, the time for the four regiments of our Heilongjiang Front Army to participate in the 'revolution' is still short, and the ideological and political work has not been carried out in this way. And also...... How are the troops deployed? ”

Ye Ting led Zhang Xueliang towards the car waiting outside the station, and said with a wry smile: "I, the chief of staff, was also parachuted, and I don't know much about the situation of the troops. However, judging from the reaction of the various troops, the morale seems to be still good, although they are puzzled by sending troops to fight against the bandits, and they don't know what the bandits are, but after they know that it is Brother Han Qing's order, they all express their resolute obedience. Apart from...... The Red 33rd Division seemed to be in some mood, so Jiang Chaoliu (Jiang Dengxuan) had already gone to the front to do the ideological work of Yu Xiaohou (Yu Xuezhong...... Now the situation of the troops' advance is that the northern flank is moving faster, and the vanguard is already about 20 kilometers east of Lindian County, and General Jiang Chaoliu is considering whether to take Lindian County first. But it is also necessary to observe the dynamics of the main forces of the trotters. Progress on the southern flank was relatively slow, mainly due to the complex terrain and the fact that there were some bandit landlords who supported the bandits, constantly disturbing the army, but in general it could not stop the advance of the Red Army. ”

The two were about to get into the car when they heard a roar overhead. On the clear sky of spring in the north, about 30 warplanes lined up and skimmed over the air at an altitude of several hundred meters. These are two-wing F1 destroyers, painted with the same blue-gray sè as the Red Army uniform, and the five-pointed star emblem of the red sè is very dazzling on the blue-gray sè body. The aircraft were not purchased from the Sino-German aircraft companies in the south, but were produced on their own by the CG's own Baotou Komsomol aircraft factory with components supplied by Soviet and Sino-German companies. Now that the former Northeast Army Air Force and the Red Army Air Force have been merged into the Red Army Air Force, Comrade Feng Dafei continues to serve as the commander of the Red Air Force, and this time he has also been sent to participate in the offensive against Qiqihar.

Zhang Xueliang nodded slightly at the sky, now the Red Army is above the air force, and it has an absolute advantage over the bandits! The trotsky bandits do not have an air force at all, the sky of Heilongjiang belongs to the Red Army, and in the previous Northeast War of Resistance, the huge role of the air force has been undoubtedly manifested, and the trotten bandits will definitely pay a huge price because of their backwardness in this regard! Although Zhang Xueliang's enthusiasm for this battle is also not high, he has no doubt that they will achieve the final victory in this battle. Seeing this neat and mighty lineup in the air today, this belief has become even stronger.

At this time, Jiang Dengxuan, who was in charge of five divisions in the northern flank, did not have such a good mood as Zhang Xueliang, and he was full of worries about the prospects of the current war. He and the current "Trotten Army" were once comrades-in-arms of the Anti-Japanese Union, and they are very clear about their combat effectiveness, and even the powerful Japanese army has suffered in their hands! With these Red Army transformed from the Northeast Army in their own hands, can they please the favor? Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the troops can be enhanced by changing the flag? And even if it can be enhanced, what about it? As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the master behind these bandit armies can be provoked by GCD and Zhang Xueliang, but he is worried that he can only obey Zhang Xueliang's orders, and he can only fight this battle conscientiously.

At present, the overall situation is still smooth, and the north and south wings are steadily advancing, but the opponent has not really played his cards. At the moment, except for some small actions on the south wing, the other party seems to have no action in the north wing, but what Jiang Dengxuan has a premonition is a kind of depression and tension in the future of the big war. However, he was not sure where the Trotten army would move. Generally speaking, the side with fewer troops always hopes to use ambush warfare on difficult terrain to turn things around. Judging by the current situation on the front, the most suitable place for such an ambush to take place should be on the southern flank, which is densely covered with lakes ... And not the northern flank of the Ichima Pingchuan. But there are no absolutes, maybe those trotten bandit armies will desperately concentrate the main force on the northern flank and have a main battle with their five divisions? The opponent's forces may not be much weaker than their own, right? As for the specific internal situation of the Trotten bandit army, the current Zhongg does not know much, so Jiang Dengxuan does not know how many troops they have concentrated in the eastern part of Heilongjiang. This brought a lot of trouble to the Red Army's Heilongjiang Front's arrangement, and it could only put up a formation that went hand in hand, counting on the opponent to have nowhere to go, and directly conceded Qiqihar In Zhang Xueliang's estimation, Wang Zhongyi's bandit army now has no stable logistics supply, and there will be no replenishment when the troops are exhausted, so they dare not collide with themselves!

Lushan Luo Yaoguo Mansion.

"Auxiliary, telegraph." Xiao Yuhan reported behind Luo Yaoguo, Luo Yaoguo turned around and took the telegram from his hand, which was sent by the internal line of the Alliance Army to inform the Alliance Army General Headquarters of the latest military deployment.

"What? They don't fight ambushes, but want to fight Zhang Xueliang hard? Luo Yaoguo was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that this Lin B is really ruthless enough to fight, concentrating 60,000 main forces and 300 cannons to first defeat the opponent's flank, and then sweep down, completely destroying Zhang Xueliang's northern flank, such a desperate way of fighting may not be easy if it encounters the main force of the Red Army whose combat effectiveness is above their alliance army, but if it fights Zhang Xueliang's "cottage Red Army", I am afraid that it will be a devastating and decaying.

"No trace. In your opinion, if the Allied Army can succeed in this operation, will the main forces of the Red Army be transferred from Rehe and Jilin to Heilongjiang? Luo Yaoguo paused and asked.

Xiao Yuhan was a little surprised, he thought for a while and replied, "Teacher, this matter is not easy to say.

In terms of GCD, it is not all Ji into the Moscow faction that is in charge, and there are people who are more rational among them.

I am afraid that they will not necessarily do the life-and-death thing of transferring the main force from Jilin and Rehe to Heilongjiang to fight with the alliance army, and maybe they will try to recruit Wang Zhonggong after Zhang Xueliang's defeat, after all, Wang Zhonggong is not a true Trotskyist. ”

Luo Yaoguo nodded, there are indeed god-level figures like "Mao" Bi and Zhou Elai in Zhongg. The Moscow bigwig Wang Ming was sent to Wuhan by the Central Committee to negotiate with the Kuomintang during this time, and I don't know what happened to this negotiation, the talks are endless, and the Chinese and G always propose an unequal treaty of "United Russia, United G" for the Kuomintang to agree... I don't know what's going on?

"What the hell is it that you said that Wang Ming stayed in Wuhan and entangled with us endlessly?" Luo Yaoguo asked again.

"I'm afraid that a few bigwigs from the local faction don't want him to go back and cause 'chaos' for them, right? In the g

Among the Moscow faction of the Central Committee, Wang Ming has the strongest ability to move, followed by Bogu Zhang... Tianhe Wang Jixiang, Kaifeng and others are somewhat nerdy, and Mifu doesn't particularly trust them. Xiao Yuhan said calmly, he has been lurking inside the Zhongg for many years, and he knows everything about it.

Luo nodded slightly, this situation was also expected by him, "Mao" Bi and Zhou Elai did not want to tear their faces with Moscow, and Moscow also wanted to use them to crusade against the Trotskyists, so under the tacit understanding of the two parties, Wang Ming and Bogu could only serve as internal officials in Wuhan.

"The students estimated that such a situation might occur, and the Chinese and the Gross were not in a hurry to eliminate the Trotskyists, because as long as the Trotskyist armed forces still existed, the Soviet side could only coax the powerful factions within the Trotskyists."

Xiao Yuhan said with a smile: "Such a simple method 'Mao' is definitely unthinkable than Zhou Elai." Luo Yaoguo turned his head to look at him and nodded appreciatively: "Your thoughts are the same as mine, and it is possible that Zhong G will also play the trick of raising Kou's self-respect." Is there anything we can do about it? "The key is still in the Soviet Union, if Stalin really wants to be willing to spend a lot of money, the G will still take out the main forces. And the best way to get Stalin to spend a lot of money is to invite Trotsky to China once. Xiao Yuhan's tone contained a hint of mockery and a bit of mischief.

"Please come to China!" Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, this idea is not bad, at the moment the "China" GC Doctrine Alliance Army can be regarded as the only Trotskyist armed force in the world, Trotsky, the "spiritual leader", to come to China to take a walk, take a look, go to the Union Army to make a speech or something seems to be a matter of course.

Stalin's anger when he saw Tolo Ingki appear outside his Houhuā garden, right?

"Who should we ask to invite?" Luo Yaoguo asked.

"Chen Duxiu, of course." Xiao Yuhan replied: "He is the leader of the Trotskyists in China, and it is justifiable for him to come forward. ”

East! Every East!

In the middle of the night, the army of the brigade was rolling eastward. The sound of people shouting and neighing. On the Great Northern Wilderness to the east of the Nèn River. Several large armies converged their baggage and weapons and equipment, and marched desperately towards the designated position to launch the attack. After determining the target of the attack and the time of the sortie, the main forces of the two armies under the Second Army Corps of the Allied Army did not hesitate to move eastward and launch an attack on the northern flank of the Heilongjiang Front, striving to defeat Zhang Xueliang in a decisive battle with the main force and draw out the main force of the Red Army.

The main force of the Western Front of the entire Union Army was divided into two routes and rushed eastward from the Qiqihar area. The north road was the main force of the two divisions of the Third Army of the Allied Army, together with the four artillery regiments and an elite cavalry brigade assigned to the Third Army, gathering the strength of two divisions and one cavalry brigade to make a big detour, directly to the north of Lindian, and flanking the Red 29th Division from the north.

On the south road, two divisions and four artillery regiments of the Fourth Army of the Alliance Army, concentrated nearly 30,000 troops and nearly 150 artillery pieces to attack the front of the enemy's Red 29th Division, and coordinated with the North Route Army that flanked in a roundabout way, striving to break it in the shortest possible time. Then it swept the entire northern flank of the Heilongjiang Front.

Under the night sky of the Tohoku spring. Receiving the main force of 60,000 Allied Army, which had to reach the designated position by May 6, carrying nearly 300 cannons, it rushed eastward. Lin Yurong, chief of the general staff of the Allied Army, rode on a horse and marched forward in the dark with the staff officers and the heavy convoy.

Another unprecedented victory seemed to have been placed in front of him, and although it was dusty all the way, it could not hide the radiance on his face. Around the column of his headquarters, there were large pairs of marching infantry, dragging carriages of Min-13 mountain guns. The army marched on knee-high barren grass in the northern wilderness of the Ming Dynasty, and pontoon bridges had been erected in advance by sappers on several rivers and ditches. In addition to the sound of marching troops, the voices of the political cadres of the Trotskyists were occasionally heard mobilizing and cheering: "Comrades, we are going to fight the traitors who colluded with Stalin!"

Let's work hard, let them see how good we are! "As long as we fight this battle well and eliminate the warlord Zhang Xueliang who defected to Stalin, we will be able to recover Harbin and Heilongjiang!" "When the time comes, we will liberate the whole Northeast, liberate the whole China, and 'plant' the red flag all over the north and south of the country!" The young and cheerful voices of the warriors resounded in the procession. Except for a few officers, most of these troops of the alliance army were recruited locally in Heilongjiang, and the soldiers were all simple peasant children. After two months of brainwashing by these Trotskyist political cadres, they are now full of energy and leaping to the test. Moreover, they had never seen what a truly powerful army looked like, thinking that the sharp steel guns in their hands, the 300 mountain guns in the queue, and the hard training they had experienced in the past few months had already made their armed force invincible!

However, this kind of blind self-confidence has added a bit of a solemn aura to this large army rolling forward in the dark night.

Lin Yurong rode on his horse and looked at his army with satisfaction. God knows how much he's put his heart and soul into them over the years! The training was the strictest, and the stabbing exercises, the "shooting" attacks, the marches, the coordination of the earthwork and the artillery and the infantry and the actual confrontation exercises were all carried out in accordance with the standards of the southern national "revolutionary" army as much as possible. Coupled with the fact that he also mastered the opponent's full set of battle plans and troop deployments this time, he really couldn't find a reason why he would fail! The opponent is nothing more than the Northeast Army, which has hundreds of thousands of signboards of the Red Army. If changing the flag can turn a unit from a weak brigade to an elite in one fell swoop, then what else is there to train? And what is a genius military strategist like him doing?

In the night, three communicators riding méng ancient fast horses galloped over, inquired with the vanguard of the headquarters column, and knew that Lin Yurong was here, so they hurriedly ran over and restrained their horses in front of Lin Yurong's horse. Salute and report loudly: "Commander Shen reports to the commander-in-chief that the vanguard of the headquarters of the Second Army Headquarters has arrived at the designated position at 7 p.m., and the communication company is setting up a communication network. The Fifth Division has already arrived at the starting position of the attack, and the Seventh and Eighth Divisions are still in a circuitous way, and it is expected to reach the enemy's flank by 11 o'clock tonight. ”

Lin Yurong glanced at his watch immediately, and the time was nine o'clock on the night of May 4.

There are still twenty miles away from the front line north of Lindian City, and his own command brigade and fellow artillery,

The follow-up troops such as the Baggage and the Sixth Division will definitely be able to arrive before 12 o'clock tonight. That is, I still have twelve hours to prepare myself, and I seem to be a little nervous. According to the intelligence, Zhang Xueliang's northern flank marched faster than expected, and as soon as tomorrow at noon, his troops should be able to encounter the vanguard of the opponent's Red 29th Division.

He beckoned backwards, and several staff officers immediately greeted him.

"Orders were issued to all units at all levels of the headquarters, artillery, 'insertion' of heavy troops, and the Sixth Division. Speed up the march! You must arrive at the designated location at 11 o'clock tonight! ”！。
