Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

The former enemy headquarters of the National Defense Forces outside Beiping City, in order to show their powerful force to the negotiators of the Northeast Army.The First Armored Division had just commissioned its first heavy tank, a battalion of 36 tanks lined up in two rows, which were distributed on both sides of the road outside Beiping City in order to welcome the negotiators of the Northeast Army.

Just as Wang Yizhe, the deputy commander of the Northeast Army, walked out of the city gate, the two-meter-long 75mm tank gun barrel of the heavy tank first came into Wang Yizhe's field of vision.Although this huge steel monster has been seen through the telescope on the city wall, Wang Yizhe was deeply shocked by the power of this weapon after observing this heavy tank up close.

Under the sunlight, the entire tank directly emitted bursts of cold light.Touching it with his hands, Wang Yizhe, who can clearly feel the coldness and thickness of the tank's protective armor, has already sighed from the bottom of his heart: such a huge heavy tank is definitely not what the Northeast Army's current equipment can match.

Looking around, after seeing more than 30 heavy tanks lined up on both sides of the road, Wang Yizhe, who was still aggrieved by the surrender before leaving the city, gradually let go of his grievances.As a battle-tested veteran, Wang Yizhe can say with certainty that with the heavy tank battalion shown to him by the National Defense Forces in front of him, he can defeat at least one main field division of the Northeast Army in any field battle.

More importantly, the national defense force in front of us is not only equipped with a heavy tank battalion in front of us, but also has a tank division that I have never imagined, and two heavy artillery divisions...

After withdrawing his complex gaze full of greed and shock from the tank, Wang Yizhe quickly focused his gaze on the front.At this moment, Chief of Staff Lin Hu, who carried the rank of major general on his shoulders, was standing in front of a military tent with a smile on his face, waiting for his arrival.

Although his military rank is higher than the opponent.However, in the face of the prestige and force deterrence given to him by the National Defense Forces.Northeast veteran Wang Yizhe didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, so he quickened his pace and took the initiative to walk in front of Lin Hu.

After paying each other a military salute.He opened his mouth to Lin Hu and said: "The current deputy commander of the Northeast Army, Wang Yizhe, was ordered to come to negotiate with your army. I hope that our two armies can work together to end this war as soon as possible and minimize the casualties of the generals and civilians."

Lin Hu replied with a smile: "Major General Lin Hu, Chief of Staff of the Guard Division of the National Defense Forces, was ordered to preside over this negotiation... Before agreeing to the negotiation, I have already obtained the full authority of the commander-in-chief of our army. As long as your army's request is reasonable, this is about to break out The war may end at any time, all. Please rest assured, Deputy Commander Wang, our National Defense Force is definitely not a force that likes to provoke war."

Because the Northeast Army has completely lost the courage to continue to resist from top to bottom. After getting the National Defense Forces to guarantee the safety of the lives and property of all soldiers and soldiers of the Northeast Army, Wang Yizhe, as a negotiator, decisively signed the "Battlefield Uprising" that you had already decided... - Yes, it is the "Battlefield Uprising Letter". In order to take into account the face of the Northeast Army, at the request of Wang Yizhe, the "Battlefield Surrender Letter" that should have been signed was directly changed into the current "Battlefield Uprising Letter" with Lin Hu's approval.

When Wang Yizhe and Lin Hu clasped their hands tightly together.Lin Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone: "Deputy Commander Wang, welcome to join the National Defense Forces."As long as you are willing, from now on, you are a member of our National Defense Forces.Of course, it will also become my Lin Hu's colleagues, together with the vast number of soldiers of our National Defense Forces.Fight for the unity and prosperity of China. "

Shenyang Northeast Army Command, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili had not yet rushed into Li Guosheng's office.An excited voice had already reached Li Guosheng's ears one step ahead: "Commander-in-Chief, great victory. Great victory on the front line... Wang Yizhe, deputy commander of the Northeast Army, has officially signed our battlefield uprising letter on behalf of the Northeast Army. From now on, the whole of China will There is no such thing as the Northeast Army anymore."

Seeing his partner rushing into the office flushed with excitement, Li Guosheng quickly took the telegram Jiang Baili handed over and started browsing.Soon, a smile from the heart appeared on Li Guosheng's face, and he said excitedly to everyone: "Okay, the frontline soldiers have done a good job, and they won Beiping and the Northeast Army without a single soldier." Commander, it's beyond my expectation, well done..."

Standing in front of Li Guosheng and gradually calming down, your Jiang Baili followed closely and said: "President, not only Beiping and the General Command of the Northeast Army, after receiving Lin Hu's victory telegram at the first time, I took the initiative and ordered Lin Hu Hu dispatched an armored regiment and a guard brigade, took Wang Yizhe himself to Tianjin, and took Tianjin intact from the hands of the Northeast Army. Not surprisingly, within a few hours, another victory telegram from Lin Hu came. will be delivered to us."

"Of course, the huge benefits brought about by this victory are far more than that. The battlefield uprising of the Northeast Army Command will cause more than 10,000 Northeast Army troops in the entire North China to fall into a situation of fighting on their own. Our National Defense Forces can take advantage of this opportunity. , Under the surrender of the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, the [-]+ army was completely taken over. Not only that, the two provinces of Hebei and Chahar occupied by the Northeast Army will also become our pockets in the next few days ,"

Li Guosheng, who slowly calmed down from the excitement, nodded in agreement, and said with a deep expression: "The chief of staff is right, whether it is the remaining 10,000+ army of the Northeast Army, or the Hebei and Chacha areas occupied by the Northeast Army The two provinces of Hal are very important to us, we must receive them as completely as possible...."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Jiang Baili in front of him and asked with a serious face: "Chief of Staff, what do you think..."

Taking Li Guosheng to the front and back of the huge map of North China, Jiang Baili pointed to the map and analyzed: "Boss, according to Lin Hu's report, the news that the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army revolted on the battlefield and that Beiping fell into the hands of our National Defense Forces has not been spread. In this case , we can make good use of this time difference, and take advantage of the former General Command of the Northeast Army that has joined us..."

"Gao Shuxun's troops immediately dispatched a main division to detour from here, cutting off the Chahar defenders who might retreat from Chahar. Zhang Huxiao's troops continued to maneuver with cars and armored troops, and rushed to Shijiazhuang with lightning speed. Completed the siege of Shijiazhuang.....The First Group Army mobilized a field army to quickly send troops to Hebei to occupy all the junctions between Hebei and Shanxi, in case the remnants of the Northeast Army retreated into Shanxi and were incorporated by Yan Xishan..."

"After the three-way army returned to its position in a detour, it immediately issued a telegram in the name of the Northeast Army Command: The Northeast Army changed its banner and led all officers and soldiers to join the National Defense Army. I believe. The Northeast Army Commander-in-Chief Rong Zhen and Deputy Commander Wang Yizhe jointly sent a telegram. In addition to the threatening leaflet written by Lin Hu, Chief of Staff of the Guard Division. With 10,000+ Northeast Army, the only way to choose is to join the National Defense Force. At that time, the follow-up troops of our army will be able to successfully receive All the Northeast Army and the vast lands of Hebei and Chahar provinces."

Under Jiang Baili's arrangement, a combat order jointly issued by Rong Zhen and Wang Yizhe was quickly transmitted to all regiment-level and above headquarters of the Northeast Army through radio waves: "Due to changes in the battle situation in the Central Plains, the Northeast National Defense Force may enter the customs to participate in the war at any time. The Northeast Army The original combat plan of each department of the army will be canceled immediately, and all combat troops will return to the camp to stand by. Without the order of the general headquarters, no one is allowed to mobilize any troops above the regiment level. Violators of the military law will be dealt with..."

For a while, the Northeast Army, which had been active in Hebei and Chahar, seemed to disappear suddenly, disappearing in front of the public.Without the harassment and resistance of the Northeast Army, the three raiding troops rushed towards the target as if entering no one's land.In less than three days, the 10,000+ soldiers of the Northeast Army entrenched in the two provinces were completely surrounded by the detour forces of the National Defense Forces.

Of course, at this time, the [-] Northeast Army stationed in Shijiazhuang also discovered a steady stream of Northeast Army tank troops coming towards Shijiazhuang outside Shijiazhuang.

When units of the Northeast Army quickly entered the Shijiazhuang city defense fortifications under the order of their superiors, they were ready to enter the fighting state.A coded telegram from the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army.Directly disrupt the deployment of all Northeast Army generals.

"All the Northeast Army in Hebei and Chahar surrendered their arms to the National Defense Forces and formally joined the National Defense Forces... What's the difference between surrendering to the National Defense Forces and surrendering? If you have the ability, the National Defense Army's tanks rushed into Shijiazhuang. I personally handed over Lao Tzu's Gun, otherwise, as a soldier, Lao Tzu will never surrender..." The top officer of the Northeast Army stationed in Shijiazhuang who is full of ambitions for his future.Looking at the telegram in his hand, he was like an angry lion, roaring loudly at everyone.

at this time.The chief of staff who also read the telegram said: "Please calm down the military: the general headquarters has surrendered to the National Defense Forces. If we continue to resist, I am afraid that if the name is not right, we will end up betraying the Northeast Army. You know, This telegram was not only received by us, but also by all command posts above the regiment level in the entire army-..."

The anger on the lieutenant general's face was quickly replaced by helplessness, and he replied to the chief of staff: "Yes, without a reasonable reason, the soldiers who have already understood the situation will never follow us. However, let's find someone who is not only reasonable. , and what is the reason to inspire everyone?"

It was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be there, and when the two of them were thinking hard about their ambitions, another burst of hurried footsteps reached everyone's ears.Afterwards, the excited voice of the Chief of the Communication Section of the Military Department reached everyone's ears: "Report to the military seat, an order from the Nanjing Central Government, and there is also a letter of appointment signed by Chairman Jiang himself..."

Nanjing sent a telegram at this time. Anyone who understands it will know that it is related to the telegram just sent by the General Command of the Northeast Army.Thinking of this, the Lieutenant General, who was frowning, quickly took the telegram and began to browse...

"The military rank was promoted to general, and I was appointed as the new commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army... I was asked to command all the Northeast Army to resolutely not surrender to the National Defense Forces. At the same time, lead the troops to break through in Shaanxi and other directions..." The lieutenant general looked at the telegram and said. When he was talking to himself, the frown on his forehead had been completely relaxed unconsciously.

He said excitedly to the chief of staff beside him: "Chief of staff, there is a reason... The Nanjing government ordered that our military headquarters be officially upgraded to the Northeast Army General Command from now on, and the military ranks of all our military personnel will also be raised by one level." level. With this telegram and letter of appointment, we have a reasonable reason to lead our troops against the attack of the Wehrmacht..."

"Damn it, I didn't expect that my old Zhang would one day be the commander-in-chief of the general. It was a blessing in disguise..."

A group of subordinates who have never really seen the strength of the National Defense Forces, and are not aware that they have been trapped by the National Defense Forces in Hebei and Chahar, hurriedly complimented: "Congratulations on the promotion of the military seat... No, I should be called the commander-in-chief now …”

While the haughty lieutenant general was enjoying everyone's compliments and at the same time immersed in the sudden surprise, several border counties hundreds of kilometers away from Shijiazhuang.In the face of the uprising of the General Headquarters of the Northeast Army, it faced the tanks and large-caliber heavy artillery equipped by the National Defense Army's detour troops.The defenders of the Northeast Army stationed in these counties did not even have time to hesitate to raise the white flag directly at the gate of the city...

at the same time.The two bombers ordered to distribute leaflets to the Northeast defenders of Shijiazhuang also appeared over Shijiazhuang with dull engine roars.

As threatening leaflets were held in the hands of the soldiers of the Northeast Army, the battalion and company-level officers scattered in the Shijiazhuang city defense fortifications seemed to be bombing the camp.They left their troops one after another and rushed to the military headquarters in the city with leaflets.

Looking down from the air, the flow of people from different directions all gathered at the Northeast Army Headquarters in Shijiazhuang.

As more and more officers gathered at the entrance of the command department, the atmosphere in the entire military department also became tense.At this moment, a report full of fear and worry suddenly interrupted the lieutenant general who was immersed in the joy of promotion.

"Report to the military seat, something happened outside... The battalion and company level officers scattered inside and outside the city seemed to be crazy. They all left their troops and gathered at the military headquarters, asking to see you, the military seat. In addition, this is the Northeast Army Air Force just now. The leaflets that were sprinkled. There are some contents in them that are very... Please take a look, military seat, after reading it, you will know why everyone wants to meet you..."

With complex expressions of dissatisfaction and bewilderment towards his subordinates, the lieutenant general quickly took the telegram and began to browse it.

Soon, the Lieutenant General's face, which was still full of smiles just now, was replaced by solemnity.Some subordinates who didn't know current affairs thought that the content of the flyer would anger the commander-in-chief in front of them, and they still flattered and flattered: "Please calm down, commander-in-chief, isn't it just a leaflet for the National Defense Forces? Your lord has a lot of them. Waiting for you to really serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast." After being the commander-in-chief of the army, he can lead the hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army to teach the National Defense Force a good lesson."

"Shut up..." Facing this untimely flattery, a murderous growl quickly came out of his mouth.

After glancing at the puzzled-looking subordinates around him.He cursed loudly: "Return to the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, and now you can't even be the lieutenant general of the Northeast Army... You look at the leaflet given to us by the National Defense Forces. Do you think that after reading this leaflet, the soldiers will still ignore the safety of their families? We risk our lives..."

As soon as the voice fell, another burst of hurried footsteps reached everyone's ears, and then.The sound of a slightly frightened report reached everyone's ears: "Report to the military seat, report from the troops confronting the Shanxi Jinsui Army. The troops were suddenly surrounded by the National Defense Forces, and all front-line troops have surrendered to the National Defense Forces according to the telegram just issued by the General Headquarters." .Currently, all the traffic arteries between Hebei and Shanxi have been occupied by the National Defense Forces."

"Reporting to the military seat, there is an urgent call for the garrison in the direction of Chahar. Suddenly, a large number of main forces of the National Defense Forces are found on the border of Chahar. Some county defenders have surrendered to the National Defense Forces according to the power-up just sent by the headquarters. Not surprisingly, Chahar connected The major traffic arteries in the direction of Shaanxi have fallen into the hands of the National Defense Forces. At the same time, the main force of the National Defense Forces entering Chahar has issued an ultimatum to our department. Will our department surrender to the National Defense Forces immediately according to the power-up just issued by the General Command. "

"It's over..." The Lieutenant General, who was still full of vigor just now, seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and slumped on his seat weakly.

After glancing around at the subordinates who were still flattering just now, but were completely covered in panic at this moment.Exhausting the last bit of strength in his body, he roared loudly: "Bastard, what are you doing here, waiting to die... We have been surrounded by the National Defense Forces, and coupled with the threat of the National Defense Forces being called the bottom line, do you think we have to continue?" Do you have the courage to resist?Now I finally know why the general headquarters, which has tens of thousands of troops directly under it, suddenly sent out such a telegram. If nothing else, the general headquarters in Peiping has also faced the situation we are facing now..."

"Chief of Staff, immediately issue an order to all the troops that can be contacted. All troops will immediately surrender to the National Defense Forces. Any meaningless resistance is prohibited. Life-saving is the most important thing. As for us, we will immediately send representatives out of the city to discuss the surrender of the troops with the National Defense Forces. After all, the entire Shijiazhuang There are [-] troops stationed in the city."

"Boom..." As the deafening roar began to reach everyone's ears, the ground where everyone was on began to tremble slightly.Under the waiting of tens of thousands of Northeast Army and ordinary people, under the sun, the barrel of the tank gun emitting a burst of cold light first appeared in everyone's field of vision, followed by the huge steel body of the heavy tank appeared at the end of the road .

One after another, a whole battalion of heavy tanks, like a long steel dragon, slowly drove towards the gate of Shijiazhuang City while rolling up a lot of smoke and dust.

Under the shocking eyes of all the soldiers and civilians in Shijiazhuang, there was a heavy tank battalion first, followed by an armored battalion, followed by a vehicle-mounted infantry battalion, and finally a heavy artillery battalion.This national defense force showed its great strength to the soldiers and civilians of Shijiazhuang like a military parade, telling them that there was nothing wrong with their choice and that there was nothing wrong with following the National Defense Army.

When the National Defense Forces entered Shijiazhuang, the remaining 10,000+ Northeast Army in Hebei and Chahar provinces fell to the National Defense Forces one after another.After temporarily handing over all your weapons and ammunition, hand over your city to the Wehrmacht.

In less than three days, hundreds of counties in the two provinces fell into the hands of the National Defense Forces.Of course, the tens of millions of people in the two provinces gradually began to know that from now on, they had become members of the National Defense Forces. (To be continued..)
