Republic of China game

"Yes." "Yes." "Comrade Gege's words are very true." Everyone nodded in agreement, and the lessons learned from Xiqia last time were still there.This time, no one dared to compete with Yoshiko Kawashima for this deal.

……

Liaoning, Lushun.

The general of the Japanese army and the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Takashi Hisashikari, walked into the meeting room of the Kwantung Army headquarters in neat uniforms.At this time, the conference room was already full of military officers.As Hishikari Takashi approached, everyone stood at attention and bowed deeply.

In the past two days, the sound of guns and artillery on the Northeast battlefield has temporarily stopped with the destruction of the Japanese Seventh Brigade.The Japanese army also seemed to be caught in a dilemma. They didn't know whether to deal with the 30 Chinese troops in Jinzhou first, or to attack the Anti-Japanese Alliance in North Manchuria first?Both ends seem to be very difficult to handle, and it seems that you can't take it off without concentrating all your strength!The staff officers of the Kwantung Army also had different opinions, and they each came up with different countermeasures, but they couldn't reach an agreement.

At this time, for the first time, the Japanese army felt trapped in a quagmire.The anti-Japanese and Beijing government forces are so difficult to deal with right now, but the Kuomintang army will go north anytime and anywhere!The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have recently started negotiations again...

Ling Jielong sat down with a smile, looked at the dignified eyes of the generals under his command, nodded and motioned everyone to sit down.

"Reinforcements from the eight divisions in the country have arrived one after another. As for how to use more than [-] imperial elites, do you have any suggestions?"

The general's question caused waves in the audience.

"Your Excellency, the Northern Manchurian Anti-Japanese Alliance has developed rapidly and defeated our imperial army. It is definitely a serious problem! It must be eradicated first."

"Your Excellency, the Beijing government army is the real problem. Recently, small groups of Communist Party troops have been active in Jilin and other places. According to investigations, they all infiltrated from the western Liaoning. If the western Liaoning is not captured in time and the main force of the Beijing army in China is destroyed, the empire will be defeated in Manchuria. Difficult to sleep on."

"What if the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Alliance breaks in from the side again during the battle?"

"If our army sends troops to North Manchuria, it will also face the containment of the Chinese Beijing Army assembled in western Liaoning. In fact, this containment is even more threatening!"

Looking at the general who was full of discussions in the room, Hishikari Takashi's face was already heavy, and just about to speak out, the Kwantung Army's senior staff officer Tada Hayao suddenly stood at attention and bowed to Hishikari Takashi: "Your Excellency, The three northeastern provincial governors’ offices made a suggestion, and Beizhi thinks it can be considered.”

Ling Jielong frowned slightly, and said coldly: "They! What suggestions do they have?"

Hearing the boss speak, the officers below fell silent for a while.They all pricked up their ears to listen to Tada Hayao's speech.Hayao Tada bowed deeply again: "The mobilization of the Anguo Army last time was a mistake made by Xiaozhi, but this time the method they proposed can be given a try. They want to use the mediation of the Mongolian living Buddha and the prince to get on the leader of the North Manchurian Anti-Union Alliance Wang Zhongyi's way, temporarily stabilize it through negotiations, so that the Kwantung Army can concentrate its forces to defeat the main force of the Chinese Army in western Liaoning."

Takashi Hishikari said: "Tada-kun, do you think this matter may be successful?"

Tada Jun sneered: "Analyses, the Wang Zhongyi of the Anti-Union must also want to maintain peace with us for the time being, so as to gain time to expand our strength. Therefore, there is a high possibility that this negotiation will be successful. Hold out any hope."

Ling Jielong was stunned: "Then you are not worried that it will be difficult to deal with the Anti-Union after it grows?"

Hayao Tada nodded heavily: "I am worried. However, I am more worried that the KMT and the Communist Party in China will reach an agreement to resist Japan. If the Kwantung Army cannot destroy the Beijing Army in China in the west of Liaoning before then, the future battle situation will be even more unpredictable!"

Takashi Ryokan frowned in embarrassment: "Let them try it. If they can temporarily stabilize the Anti-Japanese Alliance in North Manchuria, then the next target of the Kwantung Army will be the main force of the Beijing Army in China in western Liaoning."

……

With a bang, Zhang Xueliang punched the table hard!

Guo Songling rushed forward immediately: "Hanqing, this..."

Zhang Xueliang closed his eyes tightly, and muttered to himself: "Our soldiers of the Northeast Army are still bleeding and dying in front, and fighting with the Japanese devils... They have already started planning to carve up our property. Hehe, and They even divided up the territory of the Northeast in front of me...Liaoning and Jilin belong to the Communist Party, and Heilongjiang belongs to the Kuomintang, okay! We, the Northeast Army, are still homeless dogs, and we can only risk our lives to serve as cannon fodder for them. This battle is still going on What kind of strength..."

Guo Songling was taken aback when he heard the words, that day he also participated in the negotiations in the Jinan United Command, and heard with his own ears the deal between Luo Yaoguo and Zhu De to carve up the battlefield behind the enemy lines in the three northeastern provinces!As the No. [-] figure in the Northeast Army and Zhang Xueliang's No. [-] confidant, when he heard this, he was naturally heartbroken.But now the Northeast Army is in decline, and there is no possibility of fighting against the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.Moreover, it is sandwiched between the Japanese of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. For now, the only solution is to find a master between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

But Zhang Xueliang still refused to give up, always thinking that one day he could restore his family business in the three eastern provinces, and ignored the hydrangeas thrown by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.As a result, he was impatient, and he still talked about the deal to carve up the Northeast in front of his face!Maybe there is also the meaning of beating him...

Seeing her student's ashen face, Guo Songling took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Han Qing, now is not the time to think about this, I'm afraid a big battle will come soon!"

Zhang Xueliang sneered: "As soon as it comes, it will come. Our Daling River defense line has long been impregnable. Are you afraid that we won't be able to hold it? Besides, two divisions of the Kuomintang have already gone north one after another. With them, what else do we have to worry about?"

Guo Songling shook his head, took out the military map silently and spread it out on the table. On the map, both sides of the Daling River were densely packed with various symbols representing troops, positions, and fortresses.It does look a little impenetrable.

"Hanqing, it's the end of October now, the first snow in our Northeast is probably in these two days?"

Zhang Xueliang was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.Guo Songling continued: "By the end of November at the latest, cars will be able to run on the Daling River! At that time, the natural danger we rely on most will no longer exist...According to information, the Japanese army is mobilizing heavy troops to western Liaoning, and they will attack next The most likely one is our Jinzhou. I reckon that this Jinzhou is hard to keep..."

"What!" Zhang Xueliang felt his eyes go dark, and he almost couldn't stop.Turning his head and looking at Guo Songling in panic: "Teacher, didn't the Kuomintang send two divisions north to help? With them...the Daling River defense line is afraid that it will not be able to hold it?"

Guo Songling shook her head and sighed: "I see Xuan...unless the KMT and the Communist Party can really work together to unite, otherwise they will be wary of each other, no one can trust anyone, and no one dares to bring their money to the Northeast." He coldly He said coldly: "Hanqing, it's time for us to consider retreating. If you still want to make a difference in China's political arena, you can't fight all your old foundations in Jinzhou!"

"Teacher, you mean..."

Guo Songling sighed: "Let's discuss it with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. If they are not sincere, we will..."

Chapter 0525

In Jinzhou, the first snow of this year has already fallen, and it has fallen extraordinarily heavily.Just the first snow, the world is a vast expanse of whiteness.The Daling River that separated the Chinese and Japanese armies had already formed a thin layer of ice floes, and the sound of ice blocks colliding and breaking could be heard from time to time to the ears of the soldiers of the two countries who were at war.To them, this was clearly the beating of war drums!Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that when the Daling River is completely frozen, it will be the day of the decisive battle between the two armies.

In the forward headquarters of the Northeast Army.Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng and others have been staring with binoculars for a long time.Helplessly watching the water of the Daling River freeze continuously, the ice floes are getting bigger and thicker... Now that the temperature has dropped below the freezing point, it is only a matter of time before the Daling River freezes completely.

Zhang Xueliang's eyebrows became more and more wrinkled. Finally, he sighed and put down the binoculars in his hand: "Commander Zhu, according to past experience, the Daling River will be frozen solid by the end of November at the latest. By then the Japanese army will The general offensive is about to begin! The 20-kilometer-long defense line may be difficult to defend with our [-] soldiers. See if the CCP can..."

Zhu De held up the binoculars silently, and looked at the Northeast Army's position on the west bank of the Daling River: "Didn't the Kuomintang want to send two divisions to the north? They have strong combat effectiveness, so it should be safe to put them on the front line of the Daling River, right? "

Hearing Zhu De talking about the Kuomintang army, Zhang Xueliang gritted his teeth, and his voice was cold: "Their No.11 division plus an engineering brigade and a heavy artillery brigade will not leave Huludao! Now they are building fortifications there. What do you want to build Huludao?" The island fortress...as our Northeast Army's last foothold outside the customs! Look at this, they have given up on Jinzhou, and they are not willing to come to the front to fight the Japanese devils!"

Guo Songling on the side also echoed: "Now the Japanese have sent all the troops of the whole country to the Northeast, making it clear that they want to fight a life-and-death battle with us. But we ourselves... still have our own ghosts, who They don’t want to really contribute, they only know how to put our Northeast Army at the front and consume it! After the consumption is exhausted, it’s time to carve up the territory of the three eastern provinces, right?”

Zhu De and Liu Bocheng glanced at each other, their red hearts sank.According to what Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling said, the Kuomintang is planning to work without any effort in this battle, and it will be over if they keep a retreat... If the Kuomintang does not work hard, the Northeast Army will definitely not be able to defend the Daling River. What should the CCP do?Do you still want the base area in western Liaoning?

"General Hanqing, brother Maochen, in my opinion, why not invite Luo Yaoguo to come to Huludao in the name of your two sides, let's have a heart-to-heart talk, and see if we can find a battle plan that is acceptable to all three sides? You guys?" How do you feel?" Zhu De pondered for a moment, then said in a calm voice.

……

From the end of October in the 19th year of the Republic of China, the entire Huludao has a radius of more than ten kilometers, and it seems to have become a huge construction site.

Construction of fortifications and trenches along the lines of Tashan, Baitaishan, Changlingshan, Shaheying, Mopanshan, Mohushan, Baita Township and Xingcheng River has begun.In this defensive circle that has already taken shape, a camp for 6 people, a large military airport, a coastal artillery position, a large military warehouse, a field hospital, and a military-level headquarters compound have also begun Level building.The soldiers of the engineering unit were leveling the foundation, and the engineering officers and engineers in straight woolen uniforms were all directing the construction on the construction site.All kinds of construction materials were continuously transported by the railway and piled up in the open place.

The team that went to the mountains to pull wood also shouted chant and yelled at the horses to come and go one after another. The carriages were all dragging construction timber, all of which were cut from the nearby mountains.As for the regime in Huludao and the surrounding counties, they are now forcibly taken over by the newly established First Army Command of the National Revolutionary Army with military orders!The Northeast Army authorities just pinched their noses, pretending not to see it.

Luo Yaoguo walked all the way, and what he saw was such a hot scene, and the blue sky and white sun flags flying everywhere!He knew that this place also had a code name in the General Staff——Nail.This is a nail hit on the throat of the Liaoxi Corridor. After the Kuomintang navy completes the blockade of the Bohai Bay, it can transport troops here by sea anytime and anywhere.Therefore, if the Japanese army does not pull out this nail, they will not be able to sleep peacefully for a day.We can only garrison heavy troops in Jinzhou, western Liaoning, to guard against the Kuomintang army that may attack at any time in the Huludao Fortress.And a large number of Japanese troops stationed here will greatly reduce the living space of the Communist Party's Liaoxi Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area...

This is another sinister trick that kills two birds with one stone!However, it wasn't Luo Yaoguo's suggestion, and now the group of staff officers of the National Revolutionary Army became more and more black-bellied under Luo Yaoguo's training.

The convoy passed through a large construction site and stopped in front of a newly leveled foundation.I saw a dark-skinned, 20-year-old military officer with a somewhat elegant and elegant demeanor, standing there with a smile, his expression full of pride and pride in his work.

This man's name was Zeng Huayan, whose name was Guoliang, and he was from Yiyang, Hunan. His family was one of the largest landlords in Hunan, but he received a Western-style education in a missionary school in Shanghai since he was a child.After graduating from middle school, he went to study in the United States. His family originally wanted him to go to Yale University, but he secretly went to apply for West Point Military Academy. He and Luo Yaoguo were considered alumni.But he is a few years younger than him, and he has not been able to catch up with the Great Leap Forward of the Kuomintang reactionaries for a few years.After returning to China, because he had an engineer's license, he became an engineer officer like Sun Liren, and is currently the chief engineer for the construction of the Huludao Fortress!

Luo Yaoguo stepped out of the car with a smile, strode up to Zeng Huayan, and grabbed his arm: "Guoliang, I never thought that you would give me such a surprise in just over 20 days!"

Zeng Huayan smiled and wanted to salute, but Luo Yaoguo tightly clenched his right hand.He laughed and said: "Without everyone's efforts, I can do nothing alone! Tens of thousands of people work like crazy, I can't imagine it in the south... Assistant Commander, is the situation on the front line worrying? The Japanese are coming soon?"

"Perhaps." Luo Yaoguo sighed.During this period of time, the relationship between the Northeast Army, the Communist Party, and the Kuomintang that had just squeezed into western Liaoning became more and more distant.The three coalition forces don't trust each other, and they are all wary of their own people. I'm afraid this battle won't be won.

The senior generals here in Jinzhou, such as Luo Zhuoying, Huang Wei, and Guo Shufu, of course also smelled it, so they strictly ordered all ministries to speed up the construction, and must rush to complete the construction of the main defense zone before Jinzhou's Liaoxi line fell.

Zeng Huayan smiled and waved.Pointing to the front, back, left, and right, the surging crowds in and out of sight, as well as the bustling construction site: "The fortifications around the perimeter will be completed next month. Although it can't be said to be impenetrable, it can't be overcome by several times the strength and firepower advantage." The coastal artillery positions can be completed in about the same time, but unfortunately there are no armored turrets, no large-caliber coastal defense guns, only 48 210 howitzers. The airfield is expanded on the basis of the original airfield of the Northeast Army, which can provide a used by aviation regiments."

When it comes to his professional affairs, Zeng Huayan is eloquent. Before that, he also participated in the design and construction of the four major elements of Shanghai-Hangzhou Bay and the Zhanjiang Fortress in Maoming, Guangdong, but it was the first time that he led the design of the fortress as the chief engineer.And it has to be done in such a short time!It cannot but be said to be a proud work.Luo Yaoguo patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and strode forward.

In front of you is a part of the coastal artillery position that has been built. About half of the 210-type 48mm heavy howitzers have been placed in the fortifications that have just been poured with reinforced concrete.The muzzles are pointed high into the sky. These cannons can be used not only to shoot sea targets, but also to support operations on the outer positions of Huludao!Thinking that there are 210 [-]mm heavy artillery supporting the entire defense line, Luo Yaoguo also showed a confident smile on his face.
