Chapter fifty-six: Jilin's internal worries

Not long after Li Du's 24th Brigade completed the assembly, Sabuli led a regiment of Heilongjiang cavalry to arrive.

When the troops were united, Li Dusabli and others rushed south to Harbin.

At that time, the defenders in Harbin and surrounding areas had two ** brigades, namely Ding Chao's ** 28th Brigade and Xing Zhanqing's ** 26th Brigade.

Among them, Xing Zhanqing's 26th Brigade, one regiment was stationed in Hengdaohezi, the other regiment was stationed in Yimianpo, and the brigade headquarters and another regiment were stationed in Harbin.

The main task of his brigade is to be responsible for the defense of the eastern region of Harbin.

Ding Chao's ** 28th Brigade's main defense is Harbin, and he himself is a veteran in the Northeast Army.

He graduated from the Infantry Department of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in 1911. After returning to China, he served as the chief officer of the Jilin Army Office, the director of the Fengtian Ordnance Factory, and the stationmaster of the Fengtian General Command.

Especially in the later Central East Road incident, he was appointed by Zhang Xueliang as the commander-in-chief of the frontier of the Jilin Army and the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army. He cooperated with the commander-in-chief of the Navy Chen Honglie and the commander-in-chief of Yilan Li Du and other troops to resist the Soviet army in Sanjiangkou, Fujin, Tongjiang and other places.

He himself was promoted to Lieutenant General of the Army as early as 1927. Therefore, in Harbin, it can be said that Ding Chao has the final say.

In history, Ding Chao once raised the banner of anti-Japanese war and participated in the Harbin defense battle with famous anti-Japanese generals such as Li Du and Feng Zhanhai.

However, because of his weak will, when the resistance failed, he finally treasoned the country and became a traitor, and his reputation was destroyed for his lifetime.

In the brigade department of the 28th Brigade of Harbin, Ding Chao opened his military uniform collar, held a cigarette in his mouth, and sat carelessly on the desk, looking at the several messages he had received on the table with a complicated expression, not knowing what he would think about.

At this time, Ding Chao was 40 years old and no longer as youthful and passionate as he returned from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.

Twenty years of military career and officialdom have caused his personality to change greatly. At first glance, this sitting posture is no different from a big and rough man.

There were three telegrams in front of Ding Chao, two of which were letters and secret telegrams issued by Zhang Xinghan and Ma Zhanshan to compatriots in Northeast China.

Ding Chao, who claimed that he was not inferior to Ma Zhanshan's order, ignored it and did not take it seriously.

**, the commander-in-chief of the Heilongjiang cavalry, when will it be enough to manage Jilin?

This is what Ding Chao wants to say most to Ma Zhanshan at this time.

As for Zhang Xinghan's letter to his compatriots in Northeast China, Ding Chao didn't catch a cold. What really made him care about was the third telegram on the table.

That was just sent by Xiqia, the then chief of staff of the Jilin Military Administration. It is not difficult to see from Xiqia's telegram that he obviously had the momentum to lean towards the Japanese.

Although Xiqia did not make any statement on the surface, he ordered himself as the chief of staff of the Jilin Army Agency to not move troops and station his defense zone on the spot.

Isn’t this obviously a disagreement with Zhang Xinghan’s letter of complaining to Northeastern compatriots?

When Ding Chaozheng was hesitant, the adjutant walked in and reported: "The brigade commander Xing Zhanqing of the 26th Brigade is here, and I want to see you."

"President Xing? Please, please." Ding Chao waved his hand and signaled.

The adjutant was ordered to leave, but soon returned, and a person behind him followed him in. Seeing this, Ding Chao quickly stood up to greet him: "Brother Xing, why are you here?"

Xing Zhanqing's face was a little serious. After saluting Ding Chao, he solemnly took out a telegram and said, "Brig Commander Ding, this is the telegram sent by Chief of Staff Xi of the Military Administration just now to Zhan Qing. Look."

Ding Chao took the message and hurriedly looked at it. It was almost no different from what he received. He looked up and said, "I just received the telegram from Chief of Staff Xi. The content is the same as yours, and I am stationed on the spot and standby."

"Isn't this nonsense? The Japanese are now gathering to prepare and may attack Chenyang again at any time. How can our Jilin army remain unmoved at this time?" Xing Zhanqing immediately became furious.

"Brother Kuijiu, don't be excited. Now that Zhang Fushuai (Zhang Zuoxiang) is not here, Jilin's military orders and government affairs are all from Chief Xi's hands. His order is military order. If we order the troops to set out south to support the army, it is to disobey the order. Moreover, the railway line and Changchun are controlled by the 27th Brigade in Jixing. He is very close to Chief Xi, so if we do not have the consent of Chief Xi, even if we are willing to go south, we will be helpless." Ding Chao said with a look of annoyance and regret.

"But, are we just watching the Japanese devils Chenyang?" Xing Zhanqing said angrily unwillingly.

"Brother Kuijiu, don't be anxious. It's just a Shenyang, but it can't be overturned. At present, most of the northeast of Jihei Provinces are still under our control. Even if the Japanese conquer Shenyang, the sky will not fall." Ding Chao patiently comforted: "So, you and I should just follow the orders of Chief Xi, hold on to the troops, wait for the opportunity."

"Hmph!" Xing Zhanqing was impatient, but Ding Chao blocked all the words for him. As the leader of Harbin, Ding Chao did not nod. Even if his ** 26th Brigade was determined, it would be difficult to do anything.

So he had no choice but to snort.

At this moment, Ding Chao's attendant and adjutant returned again, and this time he looked particularly panicked: "The brigade, General Li Du, the commander of the Yilan guard and the deputy commander of the defense of the Jilin Army Office, led the 24th Brigade and a regiment of Heilongjiang Cavalry to advance towards Harbin quickly.

In addition, the 21st Brigade stationed in Ning'an also drove towards Harbin under the leadership of Brigade Commander Zhang Zhibang.

"What? Li Du?" Ding Chao was shocked when he heard this. He knew very well about Li Du's character. Moreover, in terms of his official position at this time, Li Du was not only the commander of Yilan, but also served as the deputy commander of the defense of the Jilin Military Administration, one level higher than him.

The most important thing is that Ding Chao's ** 24th Brigade is an elite border defense force, and his weapons and equipment personnel are much better than his 28th Brigade of Provincial Defense.

Changchun City, Jilin Military Administration Headquarters.

Xiqia, commander of the 27th Brigade of **, Li Guilin of the 23rd Brigade, and Mu Dechun, commander of the 10th Corps of the Artillery, were sitting around a rectangular conference table in the chapter.

Xiqia sat in the first place, Ji Xing and Li Guilin sat in his left and right heads.

He looked around at everyone, and Xiqia said in an official voice: "Dear colleagues, the Shenyang garrison has had some force conflicts with the Japanese Kwantung Army. I have just received a secret order from the Young Marshal. In order to avoid the escalation of the conflict, all the troops of our Jilin Provincial Defense Border Defense Forces and Public Security Guard will be on standby without orders from now on. Not only will they act without authorization, but those who violate the order will be severely punished."

As Xiqia finished speaking, Ji Xing, who was already a lieutenant general in the army, stood up and slapped the table and pretended to be evil: "Since the young marshal has an order, who dares not obey it, it is to disobey the young marshal's military order. I, Ji Peizhi, cannot spare him."

Li Guilin, who was standing beside him, remained silent when he saw this. Mu Dechun, the commander of the 10th Artillery Regiment, lowered his head and did not dare to speak more.

Historically, Li Guilin and Mu Dechun were both under the coercion and temptation of Xiqia, and eventually became traitors with them.

As for the other military and political personnel from Jilin, they didn't even dare to breathe.

Seeing that no one refuted, Ji Xing was very satisfied and turned around and looked at Xiqia. Xiqia immediately stood up and said, "Since everyone has no objections, let's break up."

Li Guilin, Mu Dechun and others immediately stood up and their expressions dispersed in different ways.

Seeing everyone leaving, Ji Xing immediately turned around and asked, "Chief Staff Xi, how are you talking with the Japanese?"

"I gave the Japanese an ambiguous answer." Xiqia said meaningfully.

"Why, you didn't agree to them? Did you refuse?" Ji Xing asked anxiously.

"No, I temporarily stabilized the Japanese on the grounds that it took time to rectify and incorporate Ding Chao, Li Du, Zhang Zhibang and other departments." Xiqia said.

"Why do this? Isn't it better if we directly accept the Japanese's suggestions, support the restoration of the Xuantong Emperor, and then lead the army south to meet with the Japanese Kwantung Army in Shenyang City and attack Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade?" Ji Xing asked in confusion.

Xiqia shook her head and said, "No, it's not the time to support the restoration of the late emperor."

"How do you say this?" Ji Xing was puzzled.

"First of all, the Japanese Kwantung Army has been defeated by Zhang Xinghan in succession and suffered a great loss in Shenyang. Now that the victory of Shenyang is not yet decided, we rashly change the flag and support the late emperor, which is a bit extremely risky. Li Du, Ding Chao, and even Ma Zhanshan from Heilongjiang are very likely to send troops to oppose it.

On the contrary, if the Japanese Kwantung Army can win this time and win the entire Fengtian territory, then they can be able to force their troops to enter Jilin. Once the Kwantung Army enters Jilin, Ding Chao, Li Du and others will not be afraid. At that time, we will take the opportunity to support the restoration of the late emperor and restore our Manchu foundation. "Xiqia explained.

"Oh." Ji Xing suddenly realized and said disapprovingly: "Chief of Staff Xi, didn't the Japanese say that they had assembled the forces of three divisions this time? Are you still worried that they could not conquer Shenyang and destroy a small garrison brigade of Zhang Xinghan? Besides, what did Zhang Xinghan send a letter to his compatriots in Northeast China for help?"

"There is no absolute thing, think twice before you act carefully," Xiqia said.

"Anyway, I don't think the Japanese Kwantung Army will fail this time. The previous time, it can be said that the Kwantung Army was careless and paralyzed, which gave Zhang Xinghan the opportunity to take advantage of it. However, the Japanese have already suffered losses and will never make the same mistake again. This battle in Shenyang will be a head-on battle without any fancy head-on battle. Not to mention that the Kwantung Army mobilized the forces of three divisions to assemble the forces of three divisions, I think even if there is only one division, the Kwantung Army will be sure to win." Ji Xing said, and his words changed, and he said, "But Chief of Staff, you are not unreasonable. It is of great importance. We should be cautious."

PS: First of all, thank you nkj8084, men are not easy to behave, Tianze Dragon King, Xiaojianxian 2, Tianhai Xiangyun, 丽线灬牌灬后六片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片片

Especially nkj8084, since the autumn wind started writing books, I have been supporting it until now. All the autumn wind is moved and remembered in my heart. This time I will definitely work hard to repay it.

In addition, I would like to explain why there was no update during the day. I got up at 5 a.m. today and drove a tractor to go to the ground to sow soybeans with my father-in-law. I didn’t go home until 7 p.m. After taking a shower and having dinner, it was already nine o’clock. This year’s busy farming season has been really done.

From tomorrow, the autumn wind will work hard to write and update diligently. Please wait and see.

Finally, I would like to recommend votes. This thing is not expensive. Brothers, don’t be stingy. Recommend votes have always been Qiu Feng’s weakness since writing the book. I took a look and found that there is currently not much difference from the first place in the military category recommendation list, which is just over 100 votes.

If brothers can send the Anti-Japanese War Tiger Ben to the first recommended position in the category before 12 a.m. tomorrow, we will update three chapters tomorrow and never break our promise. Otherwise, please slap the enemy in the face and remove the shelves!!!
Chapter completed!
