Chapter 8: The Great War
The imminent war in the Northeast is finally about to break out.
The big war was fought in Jinzhou. It was a tough battle that went down in history.
On the second day of the battle, the defenders of Jinzhou asked for help from Shenyang, their pressure was too great, and in one day, the communist troops on the outskirts advanced five kilometers, and the smaller the encirclement, the greater the pressure on the defenders in the city. Under the remote command of Chiang Kai-shek, Shenyang first sent reinforcements, but in the Xinmin area, they were stubbornly blocked by the communist troops.
The national army moved seriously, seeing that there was no reinforcement on land, so they sent troops from the sea, and the area around Huludao was still under the control of the national army, so batch after batch of sea reinforcements landed from Huludao, rushed to the beachhead like crazy, and fought together with the communist blocking troops in a place called Tashan. This Tashan blocking battle can be said to be the most fierce battle in the entire Liaoshen Campaign, a small piece of the position has to be fought over repeatedly, taking the lives of hundreds of people, and it is still unknown where it belongs.
The inside and outside of Jinzhou City were drowned out by the sound of guns and shouts of killing.
When the war began, all the horses of the Northeast Station of the Military Command Bureau were sent by Xu Yinchu to the front line of the army to supervise the battle, leaving only the adjutant Qiao Tianchao and the director of the confidential office Shang Pin by his side.
The confidential room was the busiest place, with countless telegrams intertwined. Shang Pin held the war report in his hand, and every few minutes he had to knock on the door of Xu Yinchu's office, and all the telegrams were gathered in front of Xu Yinchu, and every war report was like a blow to Xu Yinchu.
Xu Yinchu stood in front of the map of Shen and Jin, and used his baton to instruct Qiao Tianchao to keep planting flags on them. The situation of the two armies on the map is clearly visible, and the whole of Jinzhou is thickly surrounded. Ma Tiancheng's Shenyang sent reinforcements, and in the telegram he sent back, he said the same thing for three days: the reinforcements were fighting fiercely with the communist army in Xinmin.
In the absence of an army, Jinzhou is already difficult to protect itself.
Xu Yinchu finally sat down weakly in his chair, he stroked his forehead and gave Qiao Tianchao the first order: let the family members of the military command station withdraw.
Xu Yinchu was completely disappointed. It seems that he was too naïve to let his family members travel thousands of miles to the northeast, thinking that their arrival would bring the troops a confidence in victory, but the battle only started for three days, and everything changed so quickly. Under the tense situation of the war, he could not help but think of the families of the Northeast Station of the Military Command Bureau, and at the same time, he also knew that before the battle began, the high-ranking officials in Shenyang and Jinzhou had already transferred their families and property from the sky and the earth. At the moment, he didn't want to be a good guy anymore.
A military truck carrying the women from the family home rushed to the airport in the eastern suburbs of Shenyang. In order to cheer up the soldiers stationed in the northeast, Chiang Kai-shek would send several planes a day to Shenyang to supply military supplies. These planes provided the conditions for evacuation at this time.
When Qiao Tianchao announced the order to withdraw to Wang Xiaofeng, Wang Xiaofeng's eyes widened in surprise, and then said: My comrades-in-arms are about to enter the city, why should I withdraw? I'm going to wait for my troops.
Qiao Tianchao lowered his voice and said: I have not received an order from the organization, you must go.
At the mention of the organization, Wang Xiaofeng lost her temper, she packed her things and got into the military truck with the other women. Qiao Tianchao stood under the car, always feeling that there were thousands of words to explain to Wang Xiaofeng, but the scene in front of him was not an occasion to speak, so he stared at Wang Xiaofeng with his eyes, and the details of getting along for two months and night flashed in front of him like a camera, even if it was contradictory and unhappy, it was resolved by the worry in front of him.
Wang Xiaofeng in the car held the carriage, and suddenly felt unprecedented loneliness, after all, as comrades-in-arms, they had worked and lived together, and everything was real; Although they had imagined countless times that when the mission was completed, the tired birds would fly back to their respective units and reunite with their former comrades. But when it came to the moment of breaking up, the eyes on the car and under the car had more content, which was the longing and reluctance of the comrades-in-arms when they were separated. The corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to say something, he hurriedly waved at her and said, "Xiaofeng, wait for me." You have to take care of yourself alone, and the people in your hometown will think about you with me.
Tears welled up in her eyes. At this time, the car started, and she heard his voice, so she choked up and said: Don't worry, Tianchao!
With a wave of his hand, his comrades-in-arms said goodbye in this special context. The women in the car, when they heard that they were going to be sent away, were all like birds out of the cage, and they were very excited. Shen Lina discovered Wang Xiaofeng's abnormality, hugged her shoulders and said angrily: You are really a little couple, you are so sad to be separated?!
Wang Xiaofeng smiled at Shen Lina embarrassedly, she knew that after she left Qiao Tianchao, everything would have to rely on herself. She didn't know where they would be sent, but they wouldn't be back to the army. After thinking about it like this, her heart became heavier and heavier.
Shen Lina kept saying to the women around her: It's best to send us to Shanghai Beach, and I will treat you to Shanghai food when the time comes.
Before the loss of the Northeast, the women flew away in a plane in a hurry.
The tide of battle took a turn for the worse, and the People's Liberation Army stormed the city of Jinzhou and engaged the defenders there in street fighting. Jinzhou's defeat is just around the corner.
Starting from Shenyang, the reinforcements supporting Jinzhou were forced to withdraw, and everyone understood that after the fall of Jinzhou, Shenyang would not be able to hold out for long. Before Qiao Tianchao lost in Shenyang, he received the last secret order of the organization: Liu and Wang, the old family always misses you. Your work is not over, take care of yourself, be on standby and have relatives to contact you at any time.
Qiao Tianchao knew that their work was not over yet, although he thought about his troops and comrades-in-arms day and night, but since the organization had made such an arrangement, he could only obey.
Ma Tiancheng, the executive captain of the Northeast Station, came back with the soldiers of the execution team in despair, and only a dozen of the more than 30 people he took with him came back, and the rest stayed on the way to reinforcements forever. He stood in front of Xu Yinchu dejectedly, and said without tears: Stationmaster, I am willing to be punished if I am incompetent and incompetent, and I am willing to be punished.
Xu Yinchu uncharacteristically did not reprimand Ma Tiancheng, he knew that the entire Northeast War Situation was not something that their Military Command Bureau could save. The defeat was like a mountain, not to mention letting Ma Tiancheng take more than 30 people to supervise the battle, even if Chiang Kai-shek came, he couldn't save the defeat in front of him. Xu Yinchu patted Ma Tiancheng's shoulder with his hand and said: I have asked the bureau for instructions to reward you.
The unexpected result made Ma Tiancheng feel like a stimulant, he put his feet together, and said in a high-pitched voice: Thank you for the stationmaster's cultivation and serving the party-state, I am willing to smear my liver and brains.
Xu Yinchu smiled, nodded again, and said, "You go and rest, don't forget to give the brothers a few days off."
Ma Tiancheng walked away with a happy expression.
Xu Yinchu looked at Ma Tiancheng's departing back in a daze, he knew that the more at this time, the more angry he was and could not be vented.
After the loss of Jinzhou, the isolated city of Shenyang became the target of public criticism, and the national army defending the city can be said to be defeated at the touch of a button. These defenders were composed of troops, and in the face of a crushing defeat, they could not think of their respective strengths, so they seized the ships that had previously transported reinforcements and hastily evacuated from the sea without waiting for orders.
Shenyang is at stake. The Northeast Station of the Military Command Bureau also received such an order: destroy the documents on the spot, retain the living forces to persist in the battle, and wait for the opportunity to regain the lost territory.
Not only the Northeast Station of the Military Command Bureau received such an order, but the entire Shenyang garrison also received this order. Shangfeng is too clear about the situation in the northeast, the defeat is like a mountain, so many defeated troops cannot be withdrawn from Shenyang City, rather than surrendering, it is better to let the troops be broken into pieces, drill into the mountains and wait for the opportunity. This is really a helpless move to preserve strength.
Ma Tiancheng, the executive captain of the Northeast Station of the Military Command Bureau, had no choice but to stay, and Shang Pin, the director of the Confidential Office, also stayed because he was in charge of the radio station of the Northeast Station. Xu Yinchu didn't want to leave a team out of control.
When the two of them were given the task and stood in front of Xu Yinchu, their expressions were tragic, and there was even a hint of desolation. The two men bowed their heads, and in the face of the order, they had no right to resist and could only resign themselves to fate.
Xu Yinchu looked at his former subordinates, and said in a heavy tone: You two are my right-hand men, I really can't bear to leave you, but this is Shangfeng's order, and I have to obey.
Speaking of this, he paused and said: The national army can't just fail like this, it will fight back one day, you stick to the northeast, and when the time comes, you will be the heroes of the national army. Your future is limitless!
Ma Tiancheng raised his head, there were already tears in his eyes at this time, and he choked up and said: Thank you for so many years of cultivation, please tell Shangfeng, if my Ma Tiancheng is not successful, he will become a benevolent.
After speaking, he put his feet together and saluted Xu Yinchu.
Shang Pin also raised his head and said slowly: Stationmaster, I only have one thing to ask for.
Xu Yinchu furrowed his brows, nodded and said: You say, as long as I can do it.
Shang Pin stared at Xu Yinchu with a complicated expression and said: Please take care of our family.
Xu Yinchu took a long breath: Don't worry, what my family is, they will be.
Monk Ma Tiancheng left the Northeast Station with a tragic mood, walked into the army that broke through, and looked for their opportunity in the war. Whether it is life or death, only God knows.
The rest of the people at the Northeast Station boarded the last plane from Shenyang.
