Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

513 Clever Seizing the Shanhai Pass

As night slowly enveloped Shanhaiguan, the more than three-hour armed parade of the National Defense Forces had to end.However, the atmosphere in Wu Keren's headquarters did not gradually return to calm along with the tranquility of Shanhaiguan.

The armed parade of the National Defense Forces not only shocked more than 1 ordinary soldiers of the [-]th Division through tanks and cannons, but also shocked all the middle and senior generals of the [-]th Division, making these officers slowly become uneasy about the upcoming war stand up.

In Wu Keren's headquarters, more than a dozen officers with colonel or above under his command all stood in front of Wu Keren with dead faces, motionless.The atmosphere in the command center also became more and more dignified because everyone kept silent.

Finally, a head of the regiment with the rank of colonel on his shoulders strode out and reported to Wu Keren: "Master, according to a few hours of statistics, the National Defense Forces outside Shanhaiguan have a total of more than [-] tanks and six large-caliber heavy artillery. More than a hundred doors. With such powerful firepower, as long as the National Defense Forces attack Shanhaiguan, Shanhaiguan will be completely submerged in the artillery fire of the National Defense Forces within a day at the latest."

Once there is a leader, there will be a second, and even a third.

As soon as the Colonel Commander’s words fell, another slightly terrified voice reached Wu Keren’s ears: “Commander Wang is right, Commander, the National Defense Forces have too many heavy weapons. If we stick to Shanhaiguan like this, we will be No matter how many soldiers there are in the [-]th Division, they will be completely wiped out by the artillery fire of the National Defense Forces. The soldiers of our division are all from the Northeast. When they leave their hometowns, one death will be one less, and they will die in a foreign land. What should we do next? Do it, sir, please consider it carefully and come up with a plan as soon as possible..."

His subordinates were shocked by the strength of the National Defense Forces. Commander Wu Keren, who witnessed tanks and heavy artillery, was also very shocked.

Under the eager eyes of his subordinates, Naidi shook his head and ordered everyone: "Everyone go back to rest first. Restrain your troops, I have to think about it. However, I can assure everyone , I will give you a satisfactory answer before dawn tomorrow. Our Northeast Army has lost the three provinces in the Northeast. Losing their homes, we must not let the soldiers die in a meaningless civil war and leave their homes forever."

When his subordinates left the office one after another, Wu Keren, who carried the rank of major general on his shoulders, seemed to be suddenly drained of all his strength.Sitting on the chair with a tired face, staring at the map in front of him, motionless. [

And at this moment, after several hours of trekking across mountains and mountains, all fifty special forces members had crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass.then.Just like a hunter waiting for his prey, he quietly lurks around Wu Keren's division headquarters, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

As the night gets darker and darker.There are fewer and fewer patrolling personnel around Wu Keren's division headquarters.Especially after seeing that the soldiers in charge of vigilance around the division headquarters had begun to yawn and lose their attention. More than 50 special forces members like ghosts finally began to act on their own.

In the eyes of these special operators, the three-meter-high divisional wall is no different from ordinary obstacles. A group of three builds a ladder for each other. In less than five seconds, a special operator disappears on the top of the courtyard wall .

Subsequently, the security signal sent by the special forces member came out from within the courtyard wall.

In this way, except for the two combat teams responsible for security and response around the division headquarters.The remaining 30 special forces members all disappeared outside the courtyard wall in the night.

Sap, cold arrows... Through these familiar killing methods, the headquarters of the [-]th Division gradually became an empty compound without any guards.At this moment, only Wu Keren's office was still on with the lights on.However, at this time the office was surrounded by more than a dozen special forces, but Wu Keren still didn't know it.

"Bang bang bang..." A clear knock on the door reached Wu Keren's ears, and Wu Keren, who was worried about the future of the army, said with a mouth full of resentment: "I said it all, don't bother me at night, before tomorrow morning , I will definitely give everyone an answer. Adjutant, order the guards to guard the gate for me, and no one is allowed to disturb me."

Just as Wu Keren finished speaking, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded from the door: "Report to the division commander, a telegram from the general headquarters. Since the director has gone back to rest, I will send it in person, and ask the division division to review it..."

"Send it right away..."

Under Wu Keren's gaze, a subordinate wearing the uniform of a captain of the Northeast Army slowly opened the door and walked towards his position. Just as he was about to reach out his right hand to receive the telegram, an accident happened.

What the captain officer in front of him took out was not documents, but a loaded pocket pistol with a silencer installed.Wu Keren, who was astonished, hadn't reacted from the sudden change. A dozen soldiers also wearing the uniform of the Northeast Army had poured into his office, all pointing at him with submachine guns that he had never seen before.

The officer standing in front of Wu Keren and holding a pocket pistol waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to temporarily put down their weapons, and then said to Wu Keren who was still in astonishment: "Mr. Wu, your division headquarters has been controlled by me, for your own safety , please don’t make any rash moves. You should be able to see that the pistol in my hand is equipped with a silencer, and I can shoot you to death in your own office at any time..."

Wu Keren, who finally recovered from his astonishment, slowly raised his hands.The officer in front of me looked at each other for half a minute before slowly opening his mouth and said: "You are the National Defense Forces, did all the guards of my division die in your hands..."

The captain officer nodded first, then shook his head, and replied to the puzzled Wu Keren: "Mr. Wu, we are indeed the National Defense Forces. However, your guards are not dead, except for two unfortunate people who resisted. Except for being killed by us, the rest of the guards were all captured by us. I have to say, the guards trained by you personally, Mr. Wu, are still very effective. The guard force of only more than 100 people consumes an hour and a half of our precious time..."

Wu Keren's face changed, and he asked in disbelief: "You mean, the entire guard company has been captured by you. How is it possible? These are more than 100 well-trained soldiers, not more than 100 pigs And even if there are more than 100 pigs, it is impossible to be captured by you without making any noise... Brother, you did not lie to me...”[

The captain officer shook his head and explained to Wu Keren: "Mr. Wu, if you don't believe me, I can take you to their barracks. Besides, I believe that you have been stationed in Shanhaiguan for so long, you should have heard However, within the National Defense Forces, there is a powerful and mysterious special force. And we are all from this special force... Speaking of which, I believe that you should also believe in our strength, Mr. Wu..."

Hear that men really didn't die at the hands of these men, and get a chance to see the Wehrmacht's most mysterious special forces unit.Wu Keren, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, became calm instead.After a short thought.Facing the captain officer in front of him, he asked: "I trust you. Don't worry, I won't make any unwise moves. After all, there are so many of you... However, I want to know. What is the purpose of your next visit?" "

The captain officer put down the pistol he was pointing at Wu Keren, and replied with a relaxed face: "Mr. Wu, as the highest officer of the Shanhaiguan garrison. In addition to the current situation. I believe you should be very clear about our purpose..."

Seeing Wu Keren with a pensive face in front of him, the captain continued to speak: "Mr. Wu, we have come to your headquarters specially to advise you under the order of Mr. Zhang, the guard division of the National Defense Forces. For your life, and for your own life and future. Please take the initiative to open Shanhaiguan and revolt against the battlefield of our National Defense Forces."

"Uprising, what's the difference between uprising and surrender...Impossible, in my Wu Keren's eyes, the word surrender will never appear..." Wu Keren, who was still calm just now, instantly turned into an angry lion and roared loudly.

However, the captain officer standing in front of Wu Keren was not moved.After Wu Keren stopped getting angry, he said again: "Mr. Wu, I believe you are very clear about the true strength of the national defense forces outside Shanhaiguan. Even if you lead your subordinates to stand firm at Shanhaiguan, you can stop us at Shanhaiguan for two days at most. Of course. , the price you pay is the lives of more than 1 soldiers of the entire [-]th Division. As a teacher, do you really want to watch so many Northeast soldiers die in a meaningless civil war..."

"And you, Commander Wu. According to intelligence, Commander Wu is a rare and outstanding general in the entire Northeast Army. When the Northeast Army withdrew from the three provinces in Northeast China, you raised many objections. It can be seen that you, Commander Wu, are a true leader. Soldiers whose country is for the people. Since this is the case, Master Wu is really willing to see his military career end in this civil war..."

"Mr. Wu, I can tell you with certainty that the target of our National Defense Force's dispatch of troops this time is not just Shanhaiguan, but the entire Hebei and Chahar. That is to say, our National Defense Force intends to completely eat up the Northeast Army. Therefore, it is up to you There are only two ways to go in front of us: resist all the way, and die together on the battlefield of the civil war with more than 1 soldiers under his command. Or an uprising on the battlefield, give up Shanhaiguan and join the national defense force."

Seeing Wu Keren, whose face was becoming more and more solemn, the captain officer changed his subject and said, "Of course, if Commander Wu leads an uprising on the battlefield, not only you, Commander Wu, but also the entire 1th Division The more than [-] soldiers of the National Defense Forces can be properly placed, and they will not suffer from the war..."

Threat yourself first, and then give yourself a huge benefit.The solemn expression on Wu Keren's face gradually showed signs of dissipating.Because the captain officer in front of him had already grasped Wu Keren's "character" very well, and Wu Keren had to submit to the "forced" situation.

After a short period of contemplation, Wu Keren, whose face became more and more calm, asked again: "If I lead my troops to carry out a battlefield uprising, how will the National Defense Force plan to arrange the more than 1 soldiers under my command..."

Facing Wu Keren who had already let go, a relaxed smile from the heart slowly appeared on the face of the captain officer, and he replied to Wu Keren: "All officers and soldiers who rebel on the battlefield, as long as they pass the physical examination and related tests, can all join our National Defense Forces on a voluntary basis. Combat sequence, become a National Defense Forces soldier. The entire [-]th division platoon level and above officers, also on a voluntary basis, all entered Shenyang National Defense University for a half-year military command study. After completing their studies, they were reassigned to Departments of the Wehrmacht carry out posts..."

"Of course, please rest assured, Mr. Wu, that our National Defense Forces are definitely not killing the officers. You must know that not only the commanders of the battlefield uprising, but also the internal officers of our National Defense Forces must enter the National Defense University for half a year every few years. Learn, and then reassign to new combat units."

"Mr. Wu, do you still remember the former officers of the Northeast Army who disobeyed orders and stayed in the Northeast to fight against Japan? These people have graduated from the National Defense University half a year ago and have been assigned to various combat units of the National Defense Army. Among them, the highest positions have been promoted. He is the commander of the major general of the main division of the National Defense Forces, commanding [-] elite national defense troops. The lowest one is also a regimental commander... If you don’t believe me, you can check it yourself, Master Wu.”

An hour later, Wu Keren sent an emergency order to all regiment-level and above headquarters of the [-]th Division by phone.All full-time officers above the regiment level of the [-]th Division rushed to the division headquarters for a meeting within an hour, and no one was allowed to be absent.

There are nine regiment leaders in the whole division.After the three brigade commanders rushed to the division headquarters one after another, what greeted them was not the division commander Wu Keren, but loaded submachine guns.When all the subordinates were sent to the division meeting room.Wu Keren, who was followed by a captain officer, walked slowly in front of everyone.

After glancing at the dozens of National Defense Forces special forces standing around the conference room, Wu Keren said, "Brothers, I know that everyone has a lot of questions at the moment. However, what I want to tell you is: as long as everyone obeys the command. These people standing around us will definitely not harm your lives, and will also protect you a better future than the Northeast Army."

As soon as Wu Keren finished speaking, the brigade commander of the [-]th Division and the [-]st Brigade standing directly opposite Wu Keren asked, "Division seat. Are the brothers standing around us from the National Defense Forces? Has the division headquarters been controlled by the National Defense Forces?" It's..."

Seeing Wu Keren nodding his head acquiescingly, the commander of the first brigade not only did not show any angry expression on his face, but flashed a smile of excitement from the heart.He assured Wu Keren and the unfamiliar captain officer behind Wu Keren: "Master, if it is really the National Defense Forces that surround us, I have absolutely nothing to say. I will do whatever the National Defense Forces ask me to do. My old Marquis has not Back to the Northeast. Now I finally have this opportunity, and my old Hou will never let it go..."

A brigade commander took the lead, and most of the officers in the conference room who had longed for the National Defense Forces and feared the strength of the National Defense Forces outside Shanhaiguan spoke up to support the decision of the first brigade commander.

Seeing the performance of his subordinates, Wu Keren subconsciously showed a wry smile on his face.As the division commander, he did not expect that his subordinates had longed for the Wehrmacht to such an extent.After a long sigh, he whispered to the captain and officer behind him: "Brother, you have seen the situation. Now that you have issued an order, the more than 1 National Defense Force soldiers stationed in Shanhaiguan will hand over Shanhaiguan to your department within an hour at the latest... "

The captain officer nodded, and replied after a short thought: "Thank you, Commander Wu for your support. After the battle is over, I will definitely report the merits of Commander Wu to the headquarters verbatim. The development and promotion will definitely play a very important role. However, for the sake of confidentiality, there is one more thing I hope Master Wu can cooperate with..."

Wu Keren replied with a wry smile: "This brother is polite. Since I have agreed to join the National Defense Forces, I am a member of the National Defense Forces. If there is anything that needs cooperation, you can just say it. As long as I, Wu Keren and the brothers below can If you do it, you will be satisfied…”

Facing Wu Keren's honest answer, a gratified smile quickly appeared on the captain's face, and he analyzed to Wu Keren: "Mr. Wu, I have two tasks for this visit: to mobilize your department Joining the National Defense Forces is one aspect of the battlefield uprising, and it is also very important to ensure the secrecy of the entire operation."

"So, please, Commander Wu, send out your absolute confidant troops by mistake, and immediately control all the radio stations and telephones of your department leading to the outside world. At the same time, send troops to block all the traffic arteries from Shanhaiguan to the pass, and ensure that the news of the uprising on the battlefield of your department is within one day. Don't expose it. Only in this way can the guard division of our National Defense Forces go straight to Pingjin with lightning speed, destroy the Northeast Army General Headquarters in one fell swoop, and disrupt the deployment of the Northeast Army..."

Seeing Wu Keren who looked embarrassed in front of him, the captain officer smiled and analyzed: "Mr. Wu, maybe in your opinion, this is a betrayal of the Northeast Army, and it will even cause more than 10,000 Northeast Army reviled in the pass. However, What I want to tell you is that this kind of behavior is not only not selling out the 10,000+ Northeast Army, but also reducing the loss of the [-]+ Northeast Army as much as possible."

"Once we destroy the general headquarters of the Northeast Army, the 10,000+ Northeast Army will fall into chaos. Our National Defense Forces entering the customs can take advantage of this opportunity to surround and capture the National Defense Forces in various places with minimal losses..."

"You can think about it. Once the battle between the National Defense Army and the Northeast Army becomes a frontal confrontation. Under the attack of our National Defense Army's giant artillery and tanks, the soldiers of the Northeast Army on the frontal battlefield will pay a price. Your secrecy is not a betrayal of the Northeast Army , but try to save the lives of 10,000+ soldiers of the Northeast Army.”

Just when Wu Keren was deep in thought, the commander of the first brigade, who had been urging everyone to join the national defense force since he entered the meeting room and learned the identity of the captain officer, said again: "Mr. The 10,000+ Northeast Army and Chahar’s Northeast Army are our brothers in the Northeast. Since we plan to join the National Defense Forces, we must try our best to bring these brothers back to the Northeast and join the National Defense Forces... division seat, brothers with at least one battalion in a brigade are trustworthy. Complete this task. As long as the commander agrees, I will immediately order the brothers in this battalion to control all the radio stations and telephones leading to the outside world in the first brigade."

After a short period of contemplation, Wu Keren finally made up his mind, and under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen subordinates, he ordered: "The security battalion of the division headquarters can be completely trusted. I order that the security battalion of the division headquarters will immediately use the company as a unit and quickly branch out to each barracks to exit. ...Brigade Commander, you dispatch an elite infantry company and immediately take over this checkpoint, and no one is allowed to enter but not to exit..."

"Brigade Commander Zhang, all the telephones and radio stations of the Second Brigade leading to the outside world and this checkpoint will be handed over to you..."

"Brigade Commander of the Third Brigade, all the telephones and radio stations of the Third Brigade leading to the outside world and the last checkpoint will be handed over to you..."

"All operations will start in half an hour. After half an hour, all officers and soldiers of the whole army, except for officers above the platoon rank, must hand in all weapons "drugs" within an hour, waiting for the National Defense Forces to receive..."
