Chapter 181: The North is restored

Zhang Jinghui rolled his eyes and asked: "Brother Lanbo, what are your plans?" (Chinese name Yu Zhishan)

Yu Zhishan looked at Ji Xing and Zhang Jinghui and said, "Brother Pei just said it is right. Jilin is indeed an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place, but I think Jilin cannot be defended.

As soon as Yu Zhishan said what he said, Ji Xing was still satisfied. But when he finished speaking, Ji Xing immediately changed his expression and said: "Brother Lanbo, what do you mean by this? Why can't Jilin be defended? How can we do it without going to Jilin?

Where to go?”

Yu Zhishan said unhurriedly: "First of all, Jilin is too close to Changchun. If Zhang Xinghan sends troops from Changchun, with the speed of his mechanized troops, it will take less than five hours to reach Jilin City."

"So what? We have nearly 60,000 people, how can we still not stand up to Jilin City?" Ji Xing said unconvinced.

"Brother Pei, now the Japanese have been defeated by Zhang Xinghan and have been forced to abandon Northern Manchuria. Without the main restraint of the Japanese, do you think we can withstand Zhang Xinghan's joint land and air attack? His armored troops

The Japanese are helpless, let alone us?" Yu Zhishan analyzed.

"Brother Lanbo, where do you plan to evacuate?" Ji Xing asked, suppressing his anger.

Yu Zhishan paused and said, "I suggest we withdraw to the northeast."

"Northeast? Could it be that Brother Lanbo is planning to retreat to your east road?" Jixing couldn't help snorting coldly: "Brother Lanbo is really a good calculator. Is it possible to pull the troops back to reorganize your east road to guard the envoy?"

"

"Brother Pei, what you said is right, that is the East Road, where Yu's base is. As long as we withdraw to the East Road, we can become an independent entity. We can stand on equal footing with the Japanese and Zhang Xinghan.

As for reorganizing my east-border defense mission, how can I do that? Yu has absolutely no intention of doing so." Yu Zhishan said with a serious face.

"Hmph, that's nice to say. Commander Dao Yu, will you change your mind when we get to the east? Anyway, I don't plan to retreat to the east. At worst, I will go to the Songhua River to become a water bandit!" Ji Xing snorted coldly.

"You..." Yu Zhishan's face turned red with anger. Then he turned to Zhang Jinghui and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are a highly respected person. Please tell me where we should evacuate."

Zhang Jinghui pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Lanbo's proposal to retreat to the northeast is feasible. After all, once we retreat to the east road and the Japanese are watching, Zhang Xinghan will not attack us easily. The Japanese also need us.

With our cooperation, we can be invincible."

As soon as Zhang Jinghui finished speaking, before Ji Xing could refute, there was a sudden earth-shaking explosion outside.

The three of them were shocked, and they all stood up and walked out of the joint headquarters. They saw a bright red fire rising in the northwest of Shuangyang County. This was where the huge explosion came from.

Not long after, a puppet army commander staggered over and looked panicked. He said before saluting: "Commander Yu, Commander Zhang, Commander Ji are not good. The Northeast New Army, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army is coming."

"What? How are you sure it's Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army? Jixing asked in shock.

"Tanks. There are so many tanks. What just attacked us was a large number of tanks. In addition to Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army, there is also that army with such a large number of tanks and armored vehicles in the Northeast." The leader of the puppet army said with a sad face.

Ji Xing, Yu Zhishan, and Zhang Jinghui all took a breath of air-conditioning.

Ji Xing said: "You two, what do you think we should do next?"

"How about we order the troops to surrender to Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army? Then maybe he can let us go, and maybe you can find an official position." Zhang Jinghui, who was as timid as a mouse, suggested.

He knew that Wang Yizhe and Huang Xiansheng, the former generals of the Northeast Army, were now under Zhang Xinghan's command. He took the initiative to surrender and relied on his past friendship with these people. Zhang Xinghan should be able to bypass him this time.

Zhang Jinghui thought so, but Yu Zhishan and Jixing were different. They knew that they had both fought against Zhang Xinghan, and even had the blood of Zhang Xinghan's men on their hands.

Zhang Xinghan would never let him go no matter what.

So as soon as Zhang Jinghui said this, the two of them immediately objected. Yu Zhishan was the first to shake his head and said: "No, we must not surrender to Zhang Xinghan, that bastard. He will kill us."

"Yes, he will definitely not let us go. Let's fight him." Ji Xing also rarely vented his anger with Yu Zhishan, nodding in agreement.

"I'm afraid it would be more difficult to fight head-on." Zhang Jinghui frowned and suggested: "How about we break out of the siege before they besiege the city?"

Zhang Jinghui said that the two people's hearts moved. No one wanted to wait for death here. They also knew that these ragtag men under them were no match for Zhang Xinghan's elite division.

After pondering for a moment, the two of them said goodbye and left with the guards.

Zhang Jinghui also took his own guards to gather his troops, but unlike Ji Xing and Yu Zhishan who led their troops to escape, he went to order the troops to surrender.

……………………

Outside Shuangyang County, as time passed, the two main regiments of the Motorized Infantry Division also arrived one after another and joined the battlefield.

Zhang Xinghan personally led the armored brigade to launch fierce attacks from two directions in the west and north of the city. Soon, the attacking armored soldiers discovered that the puppet troops on the top of the city were tremblingly raising several white flags.

Zhang Xinghan, who had come with the purpose of recruiting puppet troops and expanding his troops, quickly ordered the troops to stop the bombardment.

Not long after, a voice came from the top of the city: "Brothers from the Northeastern New Army outside the city, stop fighting. Our Commander Zhang Jinghui and Zhang have decided to surrender to your army. Please stop fighting..."

After Zhang Xinghan heard this, he immediately instructed Li Zhenyuan: "Tell them that I accept their surrender, and let them raise their weapons and walk out of the city one by one to accept their incorporation."

"Yes." Li Zhenyuan was immediately ordered to move forward. Soon, the city gate, which had been riddled with fierce firepower from the armored brigade, opened. Groups of puppet soldiers in khaki military uniforms lined up with weapons in their hands and marched out of the city. Walked out.

"Commander, there are two groups of puppet troops escaping from the east and south of the city. The 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment is intercepting them." A communications soldier came over on a three-wheeled motorcycle to report.

"Zhenyuan, I'll leave this to you. I'll lead the troops to pursue him." Zhang Xinghan ordered Li Zhenyuan.

"Commander, don't worry." Li Zhenyuan nodded and assured.

Zhang Xinghan turned to the communications soldier and said: "Order the 1st Motorized Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Regiment to immediately pursue them with all their strength. The attacking troops shouted to surrender their guns but not to kill. We will try our best to induce the puppet troops to surrender. Those who resist will be killed without mercy."

"Yes!" The communications soldier immediately kicked up his motorcycle, hit the accelerator, turned around, and sped away toward the east of the city.

A tank battalion was left for Liu Zhenyu, and Zhang Xinghan led two tank battalions and an air defense regiment to pursue towards the south of the city.

Ji Xing was the most unlucky. He led his troops out of the city from the south and happened to encounter a motorcycle group that had just arrived in Shuangyang. The two sides immediately started a firefight.

The firepower of the Mobu Regiment was unmatched by his ragtag group. Under a barrage of fire, the thousands of people brought out by Ji Xing suffered heavy casualties. Ji Xing led the remaining troops and fled eastward around the city.

The 1st Motorized Infantry Regiment had already received orders from Zhang Xinghan, and Niu Erzhu led his troops to pursue them immediately, and ordered the officers and soldiers to shout from time to time during the pursuit to surrender their guns and avoid death.

The puppet soldiers who were running slowly dropped their guns and knelt on the ground with their hands raised in surrender.

Ji Xing and his troops had not gone very far. As soon as they arrived in the east direction of the city, they were intercepted by the Second Motorized Infantry Regiment. Not only did the troops suffer total losses, but he himself became a prisoner of the Second Motorized Infantry Regiment.

Yu Zhishan's luck was better than Ji Xing's. He led his troops to retreat all the way from the east gate. Since there was no new army to intercept at the east gate for the time being, many puppet troops in the city followed suit and fired from the east gate.

At first glance, it seems that there are quite a lot of puppet troops following Yu Zhishan's retreat and fleeing for their lives.

However, Yu Zhishan's luck could not last. Before he and his troops could escape five miles away, Zhang Xinghan personally led a group of tanks and armored vehicles to catch up.

The puppet troops running behind were immediately frightened when they saw such a powerful number of tanks and armored vehicles, and they all knelt down and surrendered.

There were fewer and fewer puppet troops behind Yu Zhishan. As the two infantry regiments arrived, Zhang Xinghan led the armored troops to withdraw and continue the pursuit.

Half an hour later, they finally caught up with Yu Zhishan and his remnants. Yu Zhishan raised his hands in despair and led his men to surrender. Zhang Xing and Han Ming soldiers took him away.

The Battle of Shuangyang came to an end.

After nearly a day of statistics, the New Army captured more than 43,000 puppet troops in this battle, killed and wounded thousands, and some puppet troops took advantage of the chaos to escape and become stragglers.

Zhang Xinghan took all the more than 40,000 prisoners to Changchun. At this time, the Japanese 14th and 10th Divisions had abandoned Siping and retreated to Shenyang.

Zhang Xinghan then ordered Wang Yicai to occupy Siping, and at the same time ordered Jiang Baili to stop the attack and withdraw to the Tongliao base.

After returning to Changchun, Zhang Xinghan stationed the 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment in Jilin, the 2nd Motorized Rifle Regiment, and the 3rd Motorized Rifle Regiment to stay in Changchun. He ordered Li Zhenyuan to lead the armored brigade north along the Zhongchang Railway and began to prepare to recapture Harbin and Qiqihar.

In order to ensure the strength of Jilin's troops, the Fourth Motorized Infantry Division and the cavalry regiment directly under the headquarters, which were left behind in the Tongliao base area, and the guard battalion were transferred to Changchun.

The task of defending the base area was handed over to the Third Motorized Infantry Division led by Jiang Baili.

Within three days, Li Zhenyuan led the armored brigade to recapture Dehui one after another. The puppet troops in Fuyu, Harbin, and the nearby counties on both sides of the Zhongchang Railway also surrendered, and sent people to Changchun to express their willingness to join the Northeast New Army to Zhang Xinghan.

To the north, the former commander of the 24th Independent Brigade, Zhao Zhenhe, who had been defeated by the Japanese a few months ago, led his remaining troops to break out and take advantage of the opportunity to recapture Qiqihar.

Changchun City, the Fourth Motorized Infantry Division, the Cavalry Regiment, and the guard battalions have all arrived one after another.

Zhang Xinghan immediately began to prepare to reorganize the 40,000 captured soldiers and the puppet troops who surrendered to various counties.

………………

At the same time, the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Dalian and Lushun.

The commander of the 14th Division, Shunroku Hata, who was defeated in Shenyang, as well as the commanders of the 10th Division, the 2nd Division, the 6th Division and other divisions have been ordered to gather in Lushun.

The entire northern Manchuria area fell into the hands of Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army. The entire Japanese base camp was extremely angry and ordered Muto Nobuyoshi to prepare troops and prepare for a fierce attack at any time.

In addition to recruiting and expanding new troops on the mainland, the Japanese base camp also transferred the troops used in Shanghai to the Northeast by sea, preparing to fight with all its strength to recapture the newly lost Northern Manchuria. (To be continued. If you like this work
