Chapter 107: Angry Xu Lanzhou
When the Chinese army of Tsarist Russia attacked Novosibirsk failed, the battle between the Northeast Army and the Japanese army also entered a white heat, and the Northeast Army in Yanbian had retreated to the Dunhua area, and other parts of Jilin were struggling to resist the Japanese army at this time.
"How long will it take for reinforcements from the Empire to arrive here?" Zhang Zuolin had already asked his adjutant more than once.
"Marshal, the imperial reinforcements have entered the territory of Jilin, and after they came in, they were divided into two groups, one was 100,000 people going to Zhang Kai, probably to enter Heilongjiang, and the other was 200,000 troops coming to us. Just now, my subordinates received the news from the imperial intelligence department, and they are about to tell you that Count Han Ming will rush to Heilongjiang with an expeditionary force to quell the rebellion, and also attack the rear of the Japanese army from Boli and other places. In addition, the Imperial troops of the other route have already arrived near the Yalu River and are preparing to join Commander Feng, and I believe that our pressure will be reduced soon. The adjutant said.
Zhang Zuolin finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, he didn't have to bear so much pressure when the Wehrmacht arrived, but the current situation is not optimistic, the Japanese army is still increasing its troops, and it looks like they are bound to win in the northeast.
"Let them resist, the imperial reinforcements will arrive soon, and let the troops stationed in Tonghua and other places before be transferred to the front line of Dunhua to fight the Japanese army." Zhang Zuolin thought for a while and said.
"Yes, Dashuai!"
The Northeast Army in Tonghua and other places was used to prevent the Mukden army and the Korean Japanese army, but now Mukden has been pacified by the empire, and there are Feng Delin and the National Defense Army in Korea, and his army is basically not needed, so it is most important to transfer to the front line to fight the Japanese army.
At the same time, Zhang Kai's army and the national defense army met, this 100,000-strong national defense army was temporarily commanded by Major General Zhang Huaizhi, Zhang Kai joined the national defense army from the general of the Fengtian army to a major general, and Zhang Huaizhi has the same rank and position.
Zhang Huaizhi, Zizhi, was the Minister of Defense of Shandong in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai served as the military counselor of the Presidential Office after becoming president, and was reused by the National Defense Force after the surrender of the Beiyang Army, demoted to colonel, and made great contributions during the suppression of the Northwest Army, and was promoted to major general again, following Cai Ye to garrison the west bank of the Liao River.
Although the military ranks and positions are the same, Zhang Kai still does not regard his status as the same, Zhang Huaizhi entered the National Defense Army earlier than him, and Zhang Huaizhi also had a certain status in the Beiyang Army before, where is his own halfway monk can compare.
After the two met, they immediately launched an attack on the rebels in Heilongjiang, and in just half a day, the rebels in Heilongjiang were defeated to the collapse of the whole army, and they chased all the way into Heilongjiang Province and ran wildly towards Jianglong.
More than 100,000 people attacked tens of thousands of Heilongjiang rebels, even if the rebels had a cavalry of seven or eight thousand people, they could not resist the attack of the Wehrmacht, the Wehrmacht was not an army adapted from the Fengtian army, and it was more than one level stronger than Zhang Kai's army in terms of strength and weaponry.
At this time, Han Ming also sent 50,000 troops across the Ussuri River into Heilongjiang Province, but they were blocked by the rebels and slowly advanced towards Jianglong.
Jiang Long, the Governor's Mansion, Xu Lanzhou was restored to the title of Governor before he defected to Japan, Xu Lanzhou and a cadre of officers and several Japanese officers were discussing something.
"After our army entered Jilin Province smoothly, we immediately rushed to Jilin City, forcing Zhang Zuolin to transfer the troops fighting the Japanese army on the front line back to Jilin City, so that the Japanese army could easily break through the defense line of the Northeast Army. Of course, the premise is that before the army of the Huaxia Empire reaches Jilin, otherwise our Black Dragon Army will not be able to resist the Huaxia Wehrmacht at all. Xu Lanzhou pointed to the map of Jilin and analyzed.
A middle-aged Japanese officer wearing a Japanese military uniform with the rank of Dazuo glanced at another Japanese soldier next to him who was also wearing a military uniform with the rank of Dazuo and said: "Governor Xu, I think your plan is very reasonable, but it is not what we want, what we need is for your army to fight to Jilin City as much as possible, and even drag the national defense force in China for us in the back if possible." The Chinese Empire has now achieved a certain victory in the war with Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia will not be able to shake the army of China in Novosibirsk in a short time, and soon China will transfer the army to the northeast on a large scale, and we must do our best to solve Zhang Zuolin's army. ”
"Your Excellency Matsui Daisa, no, we can only delay the Wehrmacht for a few days at most, you know the strength of the Wehrmacht, and the weapons and equipment of our army are not the opponents of the Wehrmacht at all." Xu Lanzhou didn't want to use his army to consume the Wehrmacht, if he didn't have the strength, it would definitely be difficult to mix in the future, and at the same time, he also sent a signal to the Japanese army, that is, if we help you drag down the Wehrmacht, you will have to pay the price. With sufficient weapons and equipment, Xu Lanzhou can assemble one army after another at any time, so that he is not afraid that the Japanese will regret it in the future.
The two Japanese officers also heard the meaning of Xu Lanzhou's words, but they couldn't make the decision, according to the Japanese domestic plan, it was to weaken Xu Lanzhou's strength as much as possible, and it would be much easier to force Xu Lanzhou to hand over Heilongjiang after occupying Jilin and Mukden.
"Xu Dudu, I will report the matter of equipment to the empire, there should be a result soon, you first annihilate Zhang Kai's army and force Jilin City, the empire will not let you down." Matsui Dazuo first stabilized Xu Lanzhou and asked him to annihilate the rebel Zhang Kai in Fengtian, and even if the equipment was given, he would have to take off it for a while.
"Knock Knock ......"
Xu Lanzhou's housekeeper knocked on the door and said, "Master, there are a few soldiers outside who have urgent matters to report on the front line, and they don't want to let us pass it on to them, do you want them to come in?" ”
"Let them in!" Xu Lanzhou looked at Matsui Dazuo and the two embarrassedly, but he also knew that if there was no emergency, the soldiers would generally not come to him, not to mention that he had already ordered not to disturb them at this time to discuss military affairs.
The Heilongjiang officers present, look at me, I look at you, I am confused, what urgent things can be on the front line, haven't you already beaten Zhang Kai away? Could it be that the Wehrmacht is attacking from somewhere else?
Soon a few soldiers arrived, and after they hurriedly saluted, a soldier immediately walked up to Xu Lanzhou, lowered his head to Xu Lanzhou's ear and muttered, and the officers present didn't know what the soldiers said.
After a while, Xu Lanzhou's face turned pale, and after the soldier finished speaking, he stepped aside, Xu Lanzhou suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it against the wall, and the teacup shattered with a bang, and everyone didn't dare to make a sound.
"Xu Dudu, what's wrong, so angry?" Others dare not ask, Matsui Dazuo will not be afraid of Xu Lanzhou.
"The army attacking Jilin failed, and was defeated by the Wehrmacht and Zhang Kai's army, and the Wehrmacht is rushing here, a bunch of rubbish!" Xu Lanzhou said angrily, "The Wehrmacht has entered Jilin, according to the news we have obtained, there are only 100,000 Wehrmacht, but they have more than 150,000 soldiers after adding Zhang Kai's army, and we don't have enough strength to resist them. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard it, they were still discussing what to do after entering Jilin a moment ago, but now they were beaten to the door of their homes, and their faces were crackling.
Now Xu Lanzhou really has no army, the population of Heilongjiang is not much, and almost all the soldiers who can be recruited have been recruited, and the rest are unwilling to join the Japanese with him. The 100,000 troops in the Liaohe River were absorbed by the Wehrmacht, and when they defected to the Japanese, another group of soldiers withdrew, and the entry of more than 100,000 troops into Jilin was over, and the remaining part of the army defending Han Ming on the border between Tsarist Russia and Heilongjiang was really not much, and there were really not many Heilongjiang troops near Jianglong, and they could not resist the hundreds of thousands of Wehrmacht and the Northeast Army at all.
Matsui Dazuo is also very clear about the situation in Heilongjiang, it is not appropriate to weaken Xu Lanzhou excessively now, and they will support Xu Lanzhou to be a model in the future, otherwise how to keep these people, just want to take back Xu Lanzhou's military power. At this time, if Heilongjiang was occupied by the Chinese Empire, it would be necessary to pay a huge price if it wanted to occupy it in the future, so it was necessary to prevent the National Defense Army from occupying Heilongjiang.
"Xu Dudu, don't worry, the empire will never let Heilongjiang be occupied by the Wehrmacht, I will immediately send a telegram to the country, so that they can quickly mobilize troops to support you......"
"Master, a few more soldiers said that they wanted to see you, and it was also urgent!" Before Matsui Daisa's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xu Lanzhou's housekeeper.
"Quick, let them in!" Xu Lanzhou also began to panic at this time, this is definitely not a good thing.
Matsui didn't blame the butler for interrupting him, and waited for the soldiers to come in.
After a few soldiers came in, they shouted directly: "Governor, no, the garrison of the Ussuri River has sent a telegram saying that the Wehrmacht has crossed the Ussuri River and is attacking them, and they are almost unable to support it, and they are ready to retreat!" ”
"What, the Wehrmacht on the territory of Tsarist Russia has also begun to attack! Is this trying to destroy me in one fell swoop, it's so calculating, it's already set up and waiting for me, right? Matsui Daisa, I need support, as long as the Wehrmacht is driven out of Heilongjiang, I promise to become a Japanese citizen! The more Xu Lanzhou thought about it, the more angry he became, he thought that the Wehrmacht had already set a trap for him to jump.
After hearing this, Matsui's eyes flashed with a gleam, the most important task in his mission to Heilongjiang this time was to persuade Xu Lanzhou to join the Japanese nationality and become Japanese, so that they would have accepted Heilongjiang in the name of justifiable and set the foundation for conquering the three eastern provinces in one fell swoop.
"Okay, the empire will definitely send troops to support you, you support it for a few days!" Matsui patted his chest at this time, promising that there would be Japanese troops to support them.
Xu Lanzhou immediately gathered all the troops near Jianglong, and gave the troops in the Ussuri River a death order, telling them to resist the attack of the Wehrmacht even if they died, and absolutely not let the Wehrmacht continue to advance.
Matsui and the others immediately rushed to the Japanese Embassy in Heilongjiang near the Governor's Mansion to send a telegram to the military department, asking them to send troops to Heilongjiang to support Xu Lanzhou.
