Chapter 2: Bloody Oath ()

Wang Tiehan blinked at Zhang Xuewu and expressed his gratitude, but this small move did not escape Wang Yizhe's gaze at all.

Zhang Xuewu hesitated slightly, weighed the interests, and then walked to the map like a meteor, picked up the baton and said to the map: "Now my Northeast Frontier Defense Force has a lot of troops on the surface of Liaojihei, but in fact, there are only four brigades in the national defense brigade. The rest of the provincial defense brigades and the rest of the reclaiming army have how many guns there are, and how many empty quotas are eaten below. I think everyone will know."

Zhang Xuewu paused for a moment, gestured along the Manchu Iron with a baton and continued: "Please note that although the strength of one division and another independent garrison in the Japanese Kwantung Army does not have an advantage with our army, many Japanese divisions are Division A, Division Headquarters, Third Infantry Brigade, and Fifteen Infantry Brigade, which is a four-infantry gang. In addition, they are equipped with the second cavalry registrar, the second field artillery registrar, the second baggage registrar, and the second engineer gang. Since the Japanese army was not organized in wartime, the total strength of the second division was about 11,000. In addition, the six infantry gangs of the Manchu Iron Independent Guard, the heavy artillery gang stationed in Lushun and the Kwantung Army Gendarmerie gang equivalent to the infantry gang, the effective force that the Japanese army can use to directly enter the battle is about 15,000."

Zhang Xuewu looked around and listened very seriously. The battalion commanders looked at Wang Yizhe again. Wang Yizhe turned his encouraging eyes to Zhang Xuewu. It was the first time that Zhang Xuewu said that Wang Yizhe was listening to, so he was also very curious. In his opinion, the cousin of the deputy commander would naturally know something that they didn't know. It seemed that it was okay to take this opportunity to learn about it.

Zhang Xuewu said in a deep voice: "Although the Japanese army has not had much force, the Japanese army has the advantage of the rapid delivery of the Manchu Railway, so they can attack Andong, Benxi, Gaiping, Anshan, Fengtian, Tianzhuangtai, Changchun, Fushun, Haicheng, Liaoyang, Tieling, Changtu, Gongzhuling and Kuanchengzi along the Manchu Railway in a very short time. In addition to the concentrated garrison of the 7th Infantry Brigade, all our troops are dispersed and lack mobility. If we face the battle hastily, it is easy to fall into the point where the Japanese army's forces gathered by the high-speed railway maneuver."

After Zhang Xuewu finished speaking, he let out a long sigh. Most of the officers present were in deep thought. Obviously, Zhang Xuewu's words brought them too much shock. Wang Yizhe hesitated for a while before he was helpless: "Chengwen! How great would it be if your words were said by the deputy commander!"

After the meeting, Wang Yizhe took away the extremely restless Wang Tiehan and asked him to accompany him to celebrate the birthday of Rong Zhen's old master. The specific affairs of the 620th Regiment were entrusted to Zhang Xuewu, the Xinzha Chief of Staff.

On the way back, General Zhang Xuewu pulled all five battalion commanders into his car. The five battalion commanders were deeply honored to be able to be the one that was once the deputy commander.

But before we drove far, we encountered a conflict between the Northeast Army and the Japanese army. Zhang Xuewu sent an adjutant to find out. After Li Mingtang came back, he smiled and said, "The tempers of these soldiers are too irritable now, and Japan is also very proud. We ran to the bayonet of our soldiers on duty to scratch matches and light cigarettes. As a result, our soldiers took off the bayonet and stabbed Japan to death in the street."

"Oh! How to deal with it?" Zhang Xuewu was a little worried about the fate of the soldier.

Li Mingtang smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, our pistol battalion came in time. The hundreds of Japanese military police officers did not dare to move. According to the old coach's convention and rules at that time, three Japanese devils were 1,500 taels. If one died this time, I will pay them 500 o'clock!"

After this little episode, Zhang Xuewu felt very excited. In his memory, the Northeast Army was very cowardly and its combat effectiveness was not very strong. The three divisions adapted by the Eighth Route Army were all revoked by the Northeast Army. Now it seems that he has been influenced by historical artificial tendencies. So the 918th that is close to him is not an unsolvable knot?

The four infantry battalion commanders of Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, and Xu Guohui, plus Zhang Tianpeng, the field artillery battalion commander, and the five tiger generals of the 620th Regiment were all counted.

Originally, the Chief of Staff was an optional role in the Northeast Army's troops, but this does not mean that someone dared not to treat Zhang Xuewu as the Chief of Staff. Today, the Chief of Staff treated him to a car, and he also took a car given by the deputy commander. This made Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang and others feel that there is a unique face, and the Northeastern people are just the best face.

Five people followed the Chief of Staff and arrived at the most famous "Yipinju" in Shenyang City. The master here was the imperial chef who was founded in the Forbidden City back then. He made soup and seasoned it was the best place in the old Fengtian City, but the more attractive thing here was the boss's wife Qinglian.

It is said that this woman has a tough backstage, so there are many people watching the flowers, but few people are making trouble. Zhang Xuewu is not familiar with the legendary boss here, and he also came here today. What’s more important is that the elegant mount on the third floor of Yipinju is a good place to talk about major events.

After everyone sat down, a few cold pins immediately brought them up and wiped their faces with a steaming towel. Zhang Xuewu threw out a Guangyang. Although they are now using Fengbao, the Fengbao was no longer available after entering the pass, so most merchants still appreciate Guangyang's hard currency.

But after a while, eight hot and cold dishes were served. Zhang Xuewu politely poured wine and cloth dishes, which made the five of them feel flattered. This man is the cousin of the deputy commander!

Li Xinkai, who looked pockish and suddenly had a fierce look, looked like a man fighting in the eighth place in the street. After drinking a few cups of four pots, he pulled his collar and said, "Saturday, you are so polite, you are just playing with our brothers. If you have anything to do, just say it directly. If I don't violate the military order, I, Lao Li, will be raised by a dog."

As he said that, Li Xinkai picked up a large piece of Dongpo pork and swallowed the soup and juice into his mouth. He started chewing it.

Zhang Xuewu recalled Li Xinkai's words, looked at Li Xinkai who was thick and thin and smiled slightly, "Then you have to sit firmly, I'm afraid you will scare you guys."

Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu and Xu Guohui looked at each other, but ignored Zhang Tianpeng, the field artillery battalion commander.

Zhang Xuewu knew the whole story. The four of them were all infantry and had to have a lot of relationship with artillery. However, during the Central Plains War, the 620th Regiment attacked Jixian, and the troops fought with the enemy in a stalemate. Seeing that they were about to retreat, Zhang Tianpeng covered his remaining troops and the main force of the enemy with a blow of artillery fire.

Although the battle was won, he was later pulled out of the position of the cannon commander and almost got shot. From then on, the infantry battalion commanders could not pee in a pot with him.

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said, "Now the Deputy Commander is listening to Commander-in-Chief Jiang. Commander-in-Chief Jiang is busy suppressing the Communist Party in Nanjing. Nanjing and Guangzhou are engaging in political divisions. You know this group of guys. You basically want anything except shamelessness. It is worse than prostitutes and bitches. The Nanjing central government does not allow us to attack the Japanese. Even if the other party fights, you are not allowed to fight back. Everyone knows it, right?"

Several people present nodded without saying a word, saying that they knew, Zhang Xuewu immediately lowered his voice and said, "According to reliable information, the Japanese will take action to capture the key military support of Chenyang City and Manchuria Railway at around 10:00 on September 18 the day after tomorrow."

Bang! Li Xin's chopsticks fell from his hand without knowing that, and the rest were stunned. Zhang Xuewu drank a glass of wine with serene satisfaction and said, "I'm scared?"

Zhang Tianpeng took a deep breath and said, "Shou, do you think this is true?"

Zhang Xuewu nodded with a very serious expression and said, "It's true!"

Li Xinkai, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, Xu Guohui and others looked at each other, and Xu Guohui said in a slight manner: "Seats should tell Brigade Commander Wang about this information? Let's prepare in advance!"

General Zhang Xuewu sipped the wine in his cup and said, "Don't you think the Nanjing Central Government and the Deputy Commander know? You haven't forgotten the war on the Middle East Road? Our Northeast Army sounds nice and is also the National Defense Forces. In fact, we are caught in the gap between the Russians and the Japanese in the Northeast. We are called the strategic buffer for the country's development time. In fact, what Nanjing wants to reduce the vassal state!"

Zhang Xuewu paused for a moment and continued: "If the Japanese were determined to occupy the Northeast this time, then the deputy commander's policy of tolerance was just for the Japanese. The old capital of our Northeast Army is in Fengtian, military factories, bank of China's cash bank, aircraft, and stored arms cannons. If all are thrown away, we will be a bunch of beggars in the future!"

"Chief of Staff, what should we do?" Li Xinkai looked at Zhang Xuewu very well, and the remaining chopstick was also lost by him.

Zhang Xuewu looked around the other four people and said, "Everyone is a soldier. In terms of qualifications, they are all my seniors. It is normal to be promoted in wars. I believe everyone understands the truth about wealth and honor. So I plan to fight if Japan dares to fight, we will fight back to death. If it is not good, we will transport away the arms reserved by Fengtian Arsenal and the cash reserved by the Bank of China, so as to minimize the losses. I personally bear the consequences."

Li Xinkai smiled and said, "It's all about two legs that have laid a stomach and a pair of people who are in the water. How many Japanese injustice have you been wronged in the past few years? The ginseng masters are born with golden spoons and dare to fight. What's the terrible thing about this straw sandal? But this move is of great importance. If you are not careful, you will really live and die with the ginseng masters."

The other four people could understand that this was a huge wealth, but it was also a disaster that broke the sky. Looking at Zhang Xuewu's open pistol holster leather buckle, the five people immediately had their own ideas.
