Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Shenyang changed hands... When the news reached Haicheng headquarters, a rare smile finally appeared on Li Guosheng's calm face.Especially after seeing the series of bloody methods Sun Liren carried out after entering Shenyang City, the smile on his face became even stronger... >

Looking at the content of the telegram, I couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "Mr. Sun Liren is good at this skill. I really didn't expect that Mr. Sun still has this talent...>

After finishing speaking, he said to Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen: "Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong, in my opinion, Sun Liren's method can be fully promoted in the entire three northeastern provinces, and it can be used as a means for us to buy people's hearts. Order down, let the front line All the troops are aware of this method, occupying a place, clearing out the traitors and spies in that place, and changing the people of the Northeast to a bright future..."

"Yes, Chief...>

Then, as if thinking of something, he reminded Li Guosheng hesitantly: "Sir, although Shenyang is occupied by our Ninth Army. However, most of Liaoning Province has become empty due to the sudden retreat of the Japanese army." The vacuum of power for defense. The base is worried that the Northeast Army that retreated to Rehe and Pingjin will leave immediately after receiving news of the retreat of the Japanese army in Liaoning, and rob us of the fruits of victory in Liaoning Province...>

Li Guosheng replied in a deep voice: "Your worry is not unreasonable. To solve this problem, it depends on whether Master Sun Lianzhong can successfully seize Jinzhou. Of course, it is best to seize Suizhong and Lingyuan before the Northeast Army reacts. The two places will block the traffic arteries for the Northeast Army to go north and exit the customs. As long as the Northeast Army cannot get out of the customs, the entire Liaoning Province will be ours..."

Xiong Shaowen, Deputy Chief of Staff.Continuing to speak with a worried face: "President, what I'm worried about is this time issue... >

Seeing Li Guosheng nodded his head, Xiong Shaowen continued to speak.

"After all, the Northeast Army has operated the three Northeast provinces for decades. Even if the Northeast Army withdraws from the three Northeast provinces, the Northeast Army's intelligence network in the entire three Northeast provinces must remain in the territory. I am worried that when we just occupied Shenyang City, Shenyang changed hands. The news has been passed to Zhang Xueliang's ears by these intelligence networks..."

"In addition, according to the telegram just sent by Commander Sun Lianzhong, the 79th Division just occupied Jinzhou an hour ago. Even if the troops are divided into three, quickly send troops to seize Lingyuan and Suizhong. No matter how far we are, In terms of time, it is not an opponent of the Northeast Army."

Li Guosheng nodded noncommittally.

Facing the map, after a short analysis, he said: "If it is impossible, we will give up these two cities, occupy Jinzhou and Chaoyang, and give this area to the Northeast Army... >

After finishing speaking, he ordered to Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen: "Send a telegram to Master Sun immediately. Send him our analysis verbatim, and give him a reference. At the same time. The Northeast Army may already know Shenyang The news of the change of hands was also reported to Master Sun. As for what Master Sun plans to do, it is up to Master Sun to make his own choice. Our headquarters will not interfere in any way."

"Yes, Chief...>

The Northeast Army Command in Beiping, the Ninth Army has just revealed its identity to Shenyang.A telegram was transmitted from an inconspicuous compound in Shenyang to Peiping.

Rong Zhen, chief of staff of the Northeast Army, rushed into Zhang Xueliang's office with a look of excitement.After raising the information in his hand to Zhang Xueliang, he opened his mouth to report: "Commander-in-Chief, good news, the good news just sent back by Shenyang intelligence personnel...>

"What did you say, the Japanese withdrew from Shenyang City...>

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, this is the information just sent back by the Shenyang intelligence agent, there is absolutely no mistake... >

Zhang Xueliang stared at a pair of fiery eyes, and asked Chief of Staff Rong Zhen in front of him.

"The Japanese withdrew from Shenyang City, and the Japanese spit out the fat that had reached their mouths. It is incredible, incredible...>

A bitter smile full of embarrassment slowly appeared on Rong Zhen's face.

After shaking his head at Zhang Xueliang, he replied: "Boss, the reason why the Japanese withdrew from Shenyang City was because their forces were too small and scattered, and they couldn't stop the Ninth Army's offensive and couldn't defend Shenyang City. We have to retreat. As for whether we can go out and recover Shenyang City, it is impossible for now...>

"Impossible, why...>

Chief of Staff Rong Zhen said with a helpless face: "Commander-in-Chief, according to intelligence, Shenyang City, which was abandoned by the Japanese, was occupied by the Ninth Army last night. The investigation by the intelligence department showed that the Ninth Army was fully Shenyang City has deployed a main division, a strong force of an armored division...>

Zhang Xueliang seemed to have forgotten his identity and current situation, and said to Rong Zhen in an almost commanding tone.

"The Ninth Army, what is the Ninth Army...Since the founding of the Republic of China, Shenyang City has been the territory of our Northeast Army. What qualifications does Li Guosheng have to occupy Shenyang City...>

Looking at Zhang Xueliang who had lost his mind due to various pressures in front of him.Chief of Staff Rong Zhen had to be patient and explained: "Please calm down, Commander-in-Chief. No matter what, our Northeast Army cannot send troops to fight against the Ninth Army. Otherwise, our Northeast Army will really bear the reputation of traitors. In front of the people of the country, you will never be able to hold your head up."

After Zhang Xueliang calmed down slowly, still with the last trace of resignation, he asked back: "Chief of Staff, do we really want to give up Shenyang, there is really no chance, and re-enter Shenyang City?"

Chief of Staff Rong Zhen replied firmly: "No, Commander-in-Chief, our Northeast Army still has a chance...>

Seeing the expectant expression on Zhang Xueliang's face instantly, Rong Zhen explained: "Although the Ninth Army occupied Shenyang City, the battle between them and the Japanese Kwantung Army is still not over...>

"This battle is not over. It means that there are still variables in the final result. After all, the Kwantung Army's hundreds of thousands of troops have not lost any, and they still have the ability to fight. I believe that with the Japanese character of revenge. They will definitely not watch Shenyang City fall into the hands of Li Guosheng, and will definitely launch a counterattack."

"As long as the fighting continues, our Northeast Army will still have a chance to reap the benefits. Therefore, what we need to do now is not to seize Shenyang City with the Ninth Army, but to use the opportunity of the Japanese withdrawal from Liaoning Province. Expand the territory , Strengthen strength. Waiting for the future to recapture Shenyang City..."

Zhang Xueliang's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope jumped onto his face again.

After a short thought, he opened his mouth and said, "Chief of Staff, I understand what you mean..."

Then, facing Rong Zhen in front of him, he ordered with a calm face: "Chief of Staff, order the 16th Independent Brigade of the Shanhaiguan garrison to leave the customs immediately, and seize Jinzhou before the Ninth Army arrives...Order the 22nd Independent garrison of Chifeng The brigade immediately attacked and seized Chaoyang. Only by holding these two cities in our hands can we advance or retreat, and obtain the greatest benefits for our Northeast Army in the next changing situation...>

"The commander-in-chief is wise, I will give the order immediately...>

In the headquarters of the 79th Division in Jinzhou City, the division commander Sun Lianzhong had just entered the city to rest for less than 10 minutes, when a burst of hurried footsteps sounded at the entrance of the command department.Zhou Yunliang, chief of staff of the division, held a telegram in his hand, walked in anxiously, and reported.

"Master's seat, urgent call from the main seat... The Northeast Army stationed in Shanhaiguan and Chifeng may have already left the customs. Let us seize the two cities of Suizhong and Lingyuan one step ahead of time..."

"Uh...>

In less than five seconds, Sun Lianzhong raised his head and said to himself: "The Northeast Army's hand is very fast... If the situation is really as the chief executive said, then we can only retreat and occupy Chaoyang. Relying on the two cities of Chaoyang and Jinzhou, blocking the passage of the Northeast Army to the three northeastern provinces...>

Then, he asked Chief of Staff Zhou Yunliang: "Old Zhou, do you have any specific orders from the Chief...>

"No...>

Faced with Li Guosheng's order to completely decentralize power, Sun Lianzhong's face quickly flashed a touch of emotion.Then, he gave an order to Chief of Staff Zhou Yunliang with a serious face: "Since the chief executive will leave this decision to us, then our 79th Division must not disappoint the trust of the chief executive, and swear to prevent the Northeast Army from going north to the three northeastern provinces... >

"Order: The 235th Regiment set off immediately in the car transport battalion, and occupy Chaoyang City before the Northeast Army. And rely on the original fortifications outside the city to quickly build a line of defense to block all the Northeast Army that wants to occupy Chaoyang City."

"Yes, Master...>

Just when Chief of Staff Zhou Yunliang was about to give an order, another combat staff officer walked in with an excited expression.Seeing that the two officers were there, he reported excitedly: "Master, Chief of Staff... Good news, all the materials we seized in the city have been counted..."[

Before Sun Lianzhong could open his mouth, the excited combat staff, like beans pouring beans from a bamboo tube, quickly told the contents of the seizure: "According to statistics, we received a total of six material warehouses left by the Japanese, of which four material warehouses The materials were left by the Northeast Army, and the materials in the two warehouses were brought by the Japanese...>

"Among the two warehouses captured by the Japanese. One is full of ammunition and supplies, and the other is full of food and little devils' uniforms..."

Sun Lianzhong's eyes lit up.A bold idea suddenly came to mind.

Facing the combat staff in front of him.Looking expectantly, he asked: "You said we seized a large number of little devils' uniforms and quilts. Are you sure they belong to the Kwantung Army? How many sets are there in total..."

"Reporting to the chief seat, it is confirmed that it is the military uniform of the Japanese Kwantung Army. There are a total of [-] sets...>

"Five thousand sets of little devil's military uniforms are enough...>

Then, he said to Zhou Yunliang, the chief of staff who was about to leave: "Old Zhou, wait a moment, don't issue the order yet. No accidents. I already have a way to get it from the Northeast Army without a single shot or ammunition. Take the two cities of Lingyuan and Suizhong...>

"Master, are you sure you are right..." Zhou Yunliang asked back with an incredulous expression.

In Zhou Yunliang's eyes, unless the commander of the Northeast Army who occupied the two cities was a fool, he would never give up the two cities for nothing.

Just when Zhou Yunliang showed a suspicious expression on his face, Sun Lianzhong said: "Of course I am not wrong. Do you think I will joke with you on such a big matter>

"As for how to take down the two cities of Lingyuan and Suizhong. The key lies in our capture of [-] sets of military uniforms from the Japanese army."

"Think about it, in the face of the Japanese Kwantung Army's attack, the Northeast Army can lose the entire three provinces in the Northeast, not to mention the two unknown small cities of Suizhong and Lingyuan. I believe it. With the cowardice of the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army Zhang Xueliang "Character" will never take the risk of offending the Japanese, and stick to these two cities that are basically meaningless to them... >

On Zhou Yunliang's face, an expression of enlightenment immediately appeared.He opened his mouth and said: "Master, I understand...>

Master Sun Lianzhong ordered with a confident face: "Not only must you wear the little devil's uniform, but you must also drive the little devil's tank and car. Since we want to cheat, we will do enough... >

"Armoured Battalion split in two...>

"Yes, Master..."

On the road from Jinzhou to Suizhong, armored chariots with plaster flags lined up, marching forward to Suizhong County, on the marching road, rolling There was a thick layer of smoke and dust.As for the 100 meters behind the armored chariot, there are more than 2000 "Kwantung Army elites" lined up in three rows of chairs, carrying bayonet rifles on their shoulders, or carrying a pair of rifles with bayonets on their shoulders. Lan Guang's light and heavy machine guns marched towards Suizhong in a neat pace.

In order to make the troops more convincing.The ten leading armored combat vehicles fired hot bullets into the hills on both sides of the road every 100 meters, telling all the Chinese along the way: the Japanese army will march from here, and all irrelevant personnel will detour.Otherwise, what awaits him is a flurry of thick bullets.

Not to mention, such an arrogant way of marching really frightened the Northeast Army.

Although I don't know where the two Japanese troops came from after Jinzhou was occupied by the Ninth Army.However, from the arrogant marching methods of the two Japanese troops, from the armored vehicles that spit out flames, and from the bayonets that radiate cold light.The Northeast Army in the two cities can be sure that the troops marching towards them must be the elite Kwantung Army.

Northeast Army Headquarters in Beiping, facing the telegrams sent by the two brigade commanders almost at the same time, both Zhang Xueliang and the scheming Chief of Staff Rong Zhen fell into deep contemplation...>

With a gloomy face, Zhang Xueliang asked Rong Zhen: "Chief of Staff, where do you think these two Japanese troops came from...>

Rong Zhen replied: "Although the two brigade commanders have repeatedly emphasized that these two troops are undoubtedly the Japanese Kwantung Army. However, I always feel something is wrong in my heart. However, I can be sure that if these two troops are really Japanese, Then, their goal must be to occupy the two important towns of Lingyuan and Suizhong."

"On the one hand, cut off the exit channel of our Northeast Army, and on the other hand, cut off the entry channel of the Ninth Army and encircle it in Liaoning Province...>

Zhang Xueliang nodded thoughtfully, and said: "According to what you said, at least [-]% of these two armies may be the elite of the Japanese Kwantung Army...>

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...>

After a short thought, Zhang Xueliang ordered: "Chief of Staff, whether it is the Japanese or the Ninth Army pretending to be. Our Northeast Army can't afford it. Therefore, in order to avoid fighting with the Japanese, I decided to withdraw all the troops into the In Guannei, give up these two cities. After all, as long as Shanhaiguan and Chifeng are in hand, the Japanese will not be able to wēixié our Northeast Army...>
