In the afternoon of the next day, the new division finally arrived in Chengde and met up with Zhang Xinghan and others.

The commander of the new infantry division leading the team is Ge Quanwu, former deputy commander of the 209th Division and former independent 10th Division. After all, the new infantry division is a reserve second-line unit and has just been formed, so it is necessary to transfer some key personnel from active duty.

Ge Quanwu was an elite among the cadres, and Zhang Xinghan also remembered him. During the Battle of Shenyang, in Xinmin, he blocked the Japanese attack from two sides with a regiment of troops.

In the end, it laid the foundation for the Northeast New Army to encircle and annihilate the Xinmin Japanese Army and win the Shenyang Battle.

"Commander, long time no see." Ge Quanwu saluted Zhang Xinghan excitedly.

Zhang Xinghan smiled and replied: "Mr. Ge, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are becoming more and more energetic!"

After everyone chatted for a while, Zhang Xinghan held a temporary pre-war meeting.

Sabli, Ge Quanwu and others participated as main members.

Zhang Xinghan looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, our southern troops have basically completed preparations and will launch an attack on Shanhaiguan in the near future. And our task is to attack Huairou immediately after the main force of the Northeast Army is attracted to the direction of Shanhaiguan. They advanced in the Miyun area and directly attacked Beiping City, making it impossible for the Northeast Army to take care of both the head and tail.

After our main force on the southern front breaks through the Shanhaiguan defense line, our army will be responsible for outflanking and outflanking, heading towards the Zhuozhou area to prevent the Northeastern Army from escaping to the Baoding and Cangzhou front lines, and to encircle and annihilate them and the Pingjin area as much as possible."

As soon as Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, Sabli frowned and said: "Commander, according to the intelligence I have, the 53rd Army of the Northeast Army Wan Fulin has basically not changed. It has always been stationed in Huairou and Miyun. There are nearly 40,000 troops. If we want to break through from this direction and attack Beiping City, it may not be that easy."

Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Yes, Wan Fulin's 53rd Army is indeed stationed in this area, but their army has to defend such a large area as Zizunhua, Xinglong, Miyun, Huairou and Changping. Although there are many troops, in fact, It has been greatly dispersed.

Our army can adopt the method of dispersed and sudden advance. Cross their dense defense line and directly attack the suburbs of Peiping. In this case, Wan Fulin's troops will inevitably be in chaos and rush back to rescue Beiping, while our army can concentrate its superior forces. .Annihilate them one by one on their way back to support and defeat them one by one.

At the same time, if Peiping is attacked, the Northeastern Army in the direction of Shanhaiguan will definitely be affected. As long as we break through Shanhaiguan, the mechanized advantages of our tank and armored forces will be fully unleashed, and we will be invincible all the way to Peiping and Tianjin."

After listening to Zhang Xinghan's analysis, Sabli nodded in understanding.

"Of course, in order to ensure the success of this dispersed assault, we must create some pressure on Wan Fulin on the frontal battlefield." Zhang Xinghan said this, turned to look at Ge Quanwu and said: "Quanwu, this frontal feint attack attracts the enemy. I leave the task of focusing my attention to you. You can concentrate your forces on me. Attack Huairou and Miyun areas. The air force will provide you with powerful fire support.

Remember that your task is not to defeat your opponents, but to contain them and attract them. Just show off. Don't be impulsive and fill up the entire recruit reserve division. Although we are well-equipped, if we really fight, your subordinates will Danzi, a new recruit, is no match for Wan Fulin's group of veterans.

Fortunately, the Northeast Army is basically afraid of our army. Afraid of our army's great reputation, they should only defend passively and dare not take the initiative to attack. In this way, you will have the initiative, advance and retreat freely, and have

The support from the air force should not be a big problem."

"Yes." Ge Quanwu happily accepted the order and said, "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured, I will definitely be more careful and act prudently in this humble position."

Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Sabuli: "Lao Sa, your 210th Division will play the leading role this time. In addition to all the original cavalry brigades being dispatched, the tank regiments directly under the division headquarters and the artillery regiments will also be dispatched with the army. So, I

Lead the cavalry brigade and my guard battalion south from the Changping area. You lead the tank regiment, artillery regiment and two infantry regiments in two groups, passing through Xinglong and Huairou areas respectively.

Remember, the time should be at night and pass quietly. Even if you encounter a small enemy force, don't be reluctant to fight. Pass south quickly and we will meet up outside Peiping!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured. Please bear in mind that you are responsible for this." Sabli also agreed with a bang.

"Okay, everyone, let's get ready. We'll have another day off today, and we'll set out in different directions tomorrow." Zhang Xinghan waved to everyone to dismiss the meeting.

Not long after everyone left, Guo Zhong suddenly walked in with a telegram and reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, I just received an urgent telegram from General Wang Yizhe from Seoul."

Zhang Xinghan's face changed when he heard this, and he asked nervously: "What's wrong? What happened? Did the Japanese counterattack?"

Guo Zhong shook his head slightly and said: "It's not a Japanese counterattack. The situation on the Goryeo Peninsula is currently stable. General Wang and others have already begun to form a puppet army and a puppet regime."

The establishment of a puppet army and a puppet regime was a decision made by Zhang Xinghan before leaving, which was conducive to the rule of the Northeast Frontier Army on the Koryo Peninsula.

Although the puppet army, which is dominated by Koreans, may not be useful in fighting, it is more than enough to maintain public order and suppress some local people who are disgusted with the Northeastern Army.

Using barbarians to control barbarians has been implemented by our ancestors a long time ago, and the results are pretty good.

Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked in surprise: "What is that?"

"Commander, do you still remember the large number of Japanese who fled into the mountains during the Battle of Kaicheng?" Guo Zhong reminded.

Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and suddenly said: "Remember, remember, what happened, they came out of the mountain?"

Guo Zhong nodded and said: "It is true that they came out of the mountains, but of the nearly 20,000 Japs, less than 2,000 came out of the mountains alive. As soon as they came out of the mountains, they were discovered by the local puppet troops and reported to our army. The Japs were attacking

The city uses the common people as cannon fodder, and the locals are extremely cruel to them.

Our army dispatched in time and annihilated all the more than a thousand emaciated remaining Japanese soldiers. It is said that there may be some living Japanese soldiers in the mountains who have lost their way and failed to come out. Just in case, General Wang has mobilized the local puppet troops.

Pay close attention and be ready to surround and suppress any little Japs who come out alive."

"Well, that's good. These devils are the last threat in the Goryeo area. If they are eliminated, there will no longer be any force in Goryeo that can threaten our army's rule." Zhang Xinghan felt relieved and nodded: "Call General Wang back and turn on the power.

Commendations to all participating troops."

"Yes." Guo Zhong responded, turned around and took the order.

……………………

They were speechless all night, and early the next morning, the two divisions, which had already been prepared, left Chengde separately and headed south to Changping, Miyun, Huairou and other places.

The troops departing from Chengde this time, including Zhang Xinghan's guard battalion and Ge Quanwu's new army division, totaled more than 27,000 people. Because the new army division had just been formed, it did not have technical arms such as artillery regiments and tank regiments.

There are only six infantry regiments. Apparently, when Zhang Xinghan formed these new divisions, he left space for artillery regiments and tank regiments.

These three additional regiments are enough to be reorganized into tanks, artillery and other directly affiliated units when the time comes.

However, although there are no direct units such as artillery and tanks, the equipment of the recruits is not bad. mg42 general machine gun, Garand semi-automatic rifle, bazooka rocket launcher, MP38 submachine gun, these are all sophisticated weapons that are easy to use and easy to master.

The firepower is much better than Wan Fulin's 53rd Army.

After parting ways with Sabuli and Ge Quanwu, Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong led a cavalry brigade and guard battalion totaling more than 5,000 people and galloped toward Changping in a mighty manner.

This cavalry brigade is the only organized cavalry unit retained within the Northeast Frontier Defense Force so far. Mainly considering the terrain of Jehol and the lack of talents in the armored forces, it was made an exception and placed within the 210th Division.

The cavalry brigade has indeed lived up to expectations. They are highly mobile. Although they cannot compare with armored troops, they are more flexible. Their logistical supply requirements are almost negligible on this thousand-mile plain.

He made great contributions to stabilizing the situation in Jehol for the 210th Division.

Moreover, Sabli was born in the cavalry, and with the support of Zhang Xinghan, the cavalry were basically equipped with submachine guns, replacing the traditional carbine.

With extremely powerful firepower and strong attack capabilities, they are also an indispensable and powerful force in deterring the remnants of the Northeastern Army and the Northwest Army in the Chahar and Miyun areas.

Since this time the troops were going deep alone and it was difficult to provide logistical supplies, Zhang Xinghan ordered the guard battalion to abandon their military vehicles and replace them with horses to act in unison with the cavalry brigade.

In fact, Zhang Xinghan has a multi-function watch in his hand, and it is not difficult for him to replenish gasoline. However, these military vehicles are not tanks and chariots. They are just transportation vehicles like cavalry horses and have no special advantages.

Encountering some road problems, it was not as flexible and convenient as cavalry and horses, so Zhang Xinghan asked the guard battalion to give up their cars and all ride on horses.

The officers and soldiers of the guard camp are all elite men selected from the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Border Guard. They are very skilled and can drive a car and ride a horse.

Paired with a sharp saber, he instantly became a cavalryman.

I haven’t ridden a war horse for a long time, let alone marching with thousands of cavalry. I turned my horse out of the queue and looked away. I saw thousands of cavalry stretching for miles. The soldiers were wearing blue military uniforms, wearing steel helmets on their heads, and carrying submachine guns on their backs.

, galloping on horseback, like a raging flood, sweeping forward in a mighty manner.

Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but feel extremely proud. He pulled the horse's reins, waved his whip and slapped the horse's butt hard, "Drive!"

The war horse was in pain and immediately spread its hooves and ran forward. Guo Zhong and others followed.

More than five thousand cavalry roared and galloped like thunder. Wherever they went, smoke and dust billowed and the momentum was overwhelming. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
