Before the start of the Battle of Rehe, in accordance with the order of the Yanjing Army Branch, Chaoyang, Jianping, Lingyuan, and Pingquan were connected into a line as the operational demarcation line, with the operation area of the First Army Corps where Zhang Hanqing was also the commander-in-chief to the south of the line, and the Second Army Corps operation area with Zhang Zuoxiang as the commander-in-chief and Tang Yulin as the deputy commander-in-chief to the north of the line.

After the Battle of Rehe began, Zhang Shaoshuai, deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Sea, Land and Air Force, went to Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province, to command the First Army Corps to fight, and although the Second Army Corps was commander-in-chief with Zhang Zuoxiang as the commander-in-chief, in fact, Zhang Zuoxiang did not have many soldiers and horses, so the Second Army Corps was actually dominated by Tang Yulin, and Tang Yulin's headquarters was located in Chifeng.

In the blink of an eye, the battle of Rehe began, three days have passed, and the entire Rehe line is extremely stalemate, although the officers and men of our three armies in China have used their lives and fought to the death, resulting in no rout, but on most of the battlefields, the little devils still have the upper hand, and the cunning little devils have changed the fighting style of driving straight into the original battle, and adopted the strategy of step-by-step, breakthrough at all levels, and steady advancement.

In the past three days, several major battlefields have been advanced by the little devils for tens or hundreds of kilometers, among which the first line of Shanhaiguan in the first theater has lost the land of Funing and Lulong counties, and the four infantry brigades deployed in the Pingquan and Jianchang areas have all fallen into a battle to the death, and the situation is precarious.

First of all, the front line of Chaoyang and Beipiao, although it was attacked by the main force of the 8th Division of the Ri Army, resulting in heavy casualties and great battle losses, it held these cities to the death and did not let the little devils enter the hinterland of Rehe.

Secondly. In the area of Ao Han Banner and Naiman Banner in Chifeng City, because the main force of the attack was the 4th Cavalry Brigade of RI, but the 4th Cavalry Brigade was severely damaged by Wang Yue, which greatly reduced the attack power of the little devils, relatively speaking, the pressure on Feng Zhanhai and Li Haiqing's troops stationed in this area was much less.

Of course, the most relaxed is undoubtedly the soldiers stationed in Kailu and Tianshan in the northwest of Chifeng, because in this area, except for the first-line heavenly battle on the day of the battle, there is no war.

Rehe Province. Chengde City. The headquarters of the First Army Corps, the lieutenant general in the council hall is shining with stars and golden light, and he looks at it as far as the eye can see. It's all generals. It turned out that today it was Zhang Shaoshuai who personally feasted the generals and generals of all parties in Rehe. On the day of discussing the plan to defend Rehe, although on February 11, 27 generals led by Zhang Shaoshuai sent a telegram to the whole country. I made an oath to defend Rehe to the death, but it was the first time that I really got together.

"The young marshal has arrived!"

Bang Bang Bang!

The voice together, the originally noisy meeting hall was instantly quiet, although many generals are pot-bellied, but they also stand straight, without the slightest disrespectful expression, of course, this does not mean that everyone is convinced by the young marshal, but at least on the surface, after all, they are all Northeast Army sequences, and they are all subordinates of the old marshal.

As soon as the door of the hall was opened, Zhang Shaoshuai stepped in first, although the young marshal is now not confused, but the handsomeness on his face has not diminished at all, (you know, Zhang Shaoshuai has the nickname of one of the four beautiful men of the Republic of China), and with the past few years to take over the father's legacy and take over the Northeast Army, today's young marshal has added a bit of maturity to his face.

There are also two generals who followed Zhang Shaomarshal around, one is the auxiliary commander Zhang Zuoxiang, who is currently the commander of the Second Army Corps in the Rehe Battlefield, and the other is Tang Yulin, the deputy commander of the Second Army Corps, and also the chairman of Rehe Province.

Zhang Zuoxiang, the word Fuchen, known as the assistant marshal, ancestral home of Taikoo Zhuang in Shen County, Zhili, was born in Yi County, Jinzhou, Fengtian, 52 years old, the elder brother of the old handsome Zhang Zuolin, a firm supporter of the young marshal, and a staunch anti-Japanese.

Tang Yulin, the word Gechen, nicknamed the Second Tiger, is 62 years old, a native of Fengtianyi County, born in a poor family, because he was robbed of a car, he took risks, fell into the grass for Kou, dominated Liaoxi, once saved the life of the old handsome Zhang Zuolin, and since then has formed a friend of life and death.

"Sit down." After looking around for a week, Zhang Shaomarshal continued: "It is indeed hard for you to let the generals brave the artillery fire of the little devils to come here to attend the meeting, but now that the war is scorching, I have to invite the generals to discuss together, so I also invite you generals Haihan." ”

"Serving the party-state, how dare you say that it is hard."

"It should."

……

After some politeness, Zhang Shaomari took out a promotion order, and then swept his eyes to Cui Xingwu, who was sitting at the end of the long table, and said with a smile: "First of all, I want to congratulate General Cui for winning the first place in the Battle of Rehe, completely annihilating the 4th Wing of the 25th Cavalry Brigade of the Little Devil, and making a good start for the Battle of Rehe." ”

"Order: I hereby promote Major General Cui Xingwu to the rank of lieutenant general, give a Baoding Medal, all the officers and men of the 17th Brigade will be recorded as a collective first-class meritorious service, and a reward of 50,000 yuan in silver ,......, Jiang * Zhongzheng."

Bang Bang Bang!

As soon as General Zhang finished reading the order, applause immediately rang out, and everyone's eyes were also focused on Cui Xingwu, some were envious and some were jealous, but the eyes of most generals were still full of enthusiasm and yearning.

"Congratulations."

"General Cui is amazing, Xie is ashamed."

"Thank you, thank you, young marshal, thank you!"

After another compliment, Zhang Shaomarshal took over the topic again and said: "The defense of Rehe has been fought for three days, and the soldiers have withstood the planes and artillery of the little devils with their blood and lives on the front line,......。 ”

"Let everyone come here today, firstly, to strengthen the determination of the War of Resistance, and secondly, to get together to discuss the joint defense plan,......

As we all know, because of Lao Jiang's intervention, with the help of the Yanjing Army Branch, the Rehe defense zone was directly divided into two theaters, and Rehe was only a province after all, and the little devils were divided into five ways and marched together, so it was inevitable that there would be some overlap or vacuum.

There is an overlap in the garrison, which is easy to cause disputes between friendly forces, which is nothing, after all, they are all nominally the Northeast Army, but if there is a vacuum zone, it will be troublesome, once the little devil seizes this opportunity, I am afraid that it will drive straight in, and the consequences are not imagined.

Of course, according to the demarcation before the start of the war, this situation will certainly not occur, but now with the deepening of the war, the soldiers of all sides have suffered heavy casualties, and I am afraid that these situations will inevitably occur in some intersecting places, and the main purpose of this meeting is to solve this situation and prevent this situation from happening.

In fact, if it weren't for Lao Jiang insisting on making such an order in the name of the military branch and dividing the two theaters, these things would not have happened at all, after all, whether it is Zhang Zuoxiang's subordinates or Tang Yulin's subordinates, they are all Northeast Army, and they are all Lao Shuai's subordinates, logically speaking, that is, Zhang Shaoshuai's subordinates, although these uncles may not be convinced by the young marshal, but at least they can get by on face.

It's good now, Lao Jiang stuck such a rod, so that Zhang Shaoshuai couldn't control the overall situation, just like today's meeting, it can only be in the form of discussion, this has to be said that President Jiang is a natural politician, even in the defense of the nation's life and death, he does not forget the Yin Northeast Army.

"Little Liuzi, we still need to discuss the joint defense linkage, we are all a family, haven't we always been joint defense and linkage?" Tang Yulin asked rhetorically.

As soon as Zhang Shaoshuai's voice fell, Tang Yulin took over the topic, and a sentence of Xiao Liuzi made Zhang Shaoshuai's face twitch unconsciously, Xiao Liuzi is Zhang Shaoshuai's nickname, logically speaking, Tang Yulin, as the brother of the old handsome, can also call Zhang Shaoshuai a little Liuzi, but on this occasion, it is obviously inappropriate, to put it nicely, this is disrespect to Zhang Shaoshuai, it is ugly, this is the trampling on the majesty and authority of the young marshal.

"Old soup?" Zhang Zuoxiang sat opposite Tang Yulin and shouted.

"What's wrong, am I wrong?" Tang Yulin said with an indifferent expression.

Tang Yulin actually used this to express his dissatisfaction with the young marshal, because if it weren't for Zhang Shaoshuai, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army would actually be Tang Yulin, and there was nothing Zhang Zuoxiang did at all, although most of the Northern Route Army was still in Tang Yulin's hands, but the difference was still obvious, at least in terms of reputation.

Seeing Tang Yulin's attitude, Zhang Shaoshuai was also helpless, so he had to change the topic and said: "The war has been going on for three days, and I think everyone has encountered all kinds of difficulties. ”

"Young marshal, then let me spit out the bitterness first, the defense area of our 9th Brigade is Lu Long, and now it has been lost, I am ashamed of my position, and I have become the first general to lose the city, but this really can't be blamed on the soldiers, our brigade has more than 4,000 people, and after a battle, there are less than 800 people left,......

"Hey, our 13th Brigade is not much better, before the start of the war, more than 3,500 men, three days, also lost nearly half, to be honest, most of our soldiers were killed, either aircraft bombing, or the other side's heavy artillery bombing, many soldiers have not even seen the face of the little devil, they have died in the trenches,......

……

"The enemy faced by our 4th Brigade is mainly the chariot wing of the 6th Division of the RI Army, in the face of the tanks of the little devils, our soldiers can only block them with flesh and blood, how can this be resisted, more than 3,000 cavalry, and dozens of chariots,......

……

This bitter water is vomited, Rao is used to seeing life and death as a general, and at this moment, his eyes are red one by one, and many generals are crying while talking, because these are their own soldiers, all of them are fresh and big lives, and then after a battle, it is hundreds of sacrifices, which can not make people feel heartache.

"After all, we lack aircraft artillery."

"Young marshal, wasn't Tongliao Airport bombed by the Secret Guard of the Presidential Palace, can you contact them and let them blow up the airports of the little devils in Jinzhou and Suizhong together?"

…… (To be continued......)
