Chapter 89: Reorganization
It was nine o'clock in the morning on October 2nd, Shenyang City, and the sky was sunny.
After some discussion, Zhang Xinghan and others decided to reorganize the garrison brigade.
Because the three newly formed regiments of the original garrison brigade suffered too many casualties in the Shenyang defense battle, they were all officially added to the three main regiments of the garrison brigade.
Among the more than 3,100 wounded soldiers, about 1,800 were slightly injured and did not need to be hospitalized. Among the remaining more than 1,300 soldiers, more than 500 were seriously injured and more than 800 were lightly injured and required hospitalization.
At this point, the garrison brigade has a total of more than 7,800 officers and soldiers, excluding the more than 1,300 lightly and seriously wounded soldiers hospitalized in this battle and the more than 1,000 cavalry regiments of Sabli.
There are three regiments, each with a strength of more than 1,500 men, and the organization remains the same.
If you include Sabli's cavalry regiment and the four to five hundred lightly or seriously injured soldiers who were hospitalized due to injuries during the First Shenyang Defense War (see Chapter 52 Visiting the Wounded Soldiers), the current total strength of the garrison brigade still reaches more than 9,000. It's close to ten thousand people.
However, there are nearly 2,000 wounded soldiers among them, which cannot be counted as combat effectiveness.
In the lobby on the first floor of the city government building from the Shenyang Garrison Brigade.
Zang Shiyi, who was selected as agent by Zhang Xinghan, was holding a press conference wearing a radiant look.
Help Zhang Xinghan deal with the temporary reporters stationed in Shenyang from Britain, the United States, France, Germany and the Soviet Union.
As expected, when Zhang Xinghan led the garrison brigade to create another miracle, defeating three Japanese divisions with an outnumbered enemy, the reporters from various countries stationed in Shenyang suddenly went crazy.
This time they were far more excited than last time because they almost witnessed with their own eyes this victory that could go down in history.
Although Zang Shiyi is not as easy to deal with as Zhang Xinghan, his many years of official career have already honed his knowledge and skills.
However, compared to Zhang Xinghan’s previous answers in interviews, Zang Shiyi’s answer seemed a bit more official.
Therefore, a group of reporters, led by British Reuters special correspondent Alice and American Times special correspondent Erin Matt, requested to interview Zhang Xinghan again.
Zang Shiyi had no choice but to report to Zhang Xinghan.
At this time, Zhang Xinghan was chatting with Sabli at the brigade headquarters. He went to drink and celebrate yesterday.
Zhang Xinghan didn't have time to ask about the real current situation of Heilongjiang and Jilin. In particular, Zhang Xinghan was reluctant to let Sabli return to Heilongjiang, along with his more than a thousand cavalry.
For Zhang Xinghan at this moment, he is a force that cannot be ignored.
Through the conversation with Sabli, Zhang Xinghan had a general understanding of the situation in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces.
Just when he was about to persuade Sabli to follow him to fight against Japan, there was a rush of footsteps in the yard.
Zhang Xinghan turned around after hearing the sound and saw Zang Shiyi walking towards him with a hurried expression.
Zhang Xinghan and Sabli stood up, walked to the door of the conference room to greet each other, and asked: "Governor Tibet, why is it so urgent?"
"Commander, those foreign reporters are strongly requesting to interview you. Do you think you should take some time to interview them?" Zang Shiyi asked tentatively.
Zhang Xinghan did not answer, but thought for a while.
Seeing Zhang Xinghan's silence, Zang Shiyi thought that he was unwilling to receive him, so he immediately said: "If you don't have time, Commander, I'll turn him down right now."
"Wait a minute." Zhang Xinghan raised his head and said, "We just want to use these foreigners to promote us and strengthen China's national prestige. You can go and make arrangements. They will be in the compound of our Brigade Headquarters."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Zang Shiyi responded and turned around to leave.
Watching Zang Shiyi leave, Sabuli, who was standing behind Zhang Xinghan, suddenly said: "Commander Zhang, do you want to avoid this humble position?"
"No, let's meet this group of reporters from Western powers later. I remember there are a few young and beautiful men among them. I'll introduce them to you later, Captain Sa." Zhang Xinghan joked.
"Hehe..." Sabuli's face turned red, scratched his head, and giggled awkwardly.
"Hospitality, Nanjing has called back." While Zhang Xinghan and Sabuli were talking, Xiao Lizi, commander of the communications company, came over with a message in his hand.
"Huh? What's the content?" Zhang Xinghan asked habitually, looked at Xiao Lizi, and asked doubtfully: "Where's Su Hanyun? Why do I ask you to deliver the message in person?"
"She said she had something to take off today." Xiao Lizi replied.
"Oh, how did the Nanjing government react?" Zhang Xinghan nodded and said.
"President Chiang called and promoted you to the rank of Army Major General. All officers and soldiers of our garrison brigade who have participated in the war with merit can draw up a list of personnel and report it to the National Government. We will be rewarded based on merit. In addition, President Chiang also rewarded us with 10,000 yuan."
Xiao Lizi replied.
"Congratulations to Commander Zhang for your promotion!" Sabli quickly raised his hand in congratulations.
"Commander Sa is still polite to me. Your cavalry regiment has made great achievements in this battle. After receiving these reporters later, I will personally draft a telegram to the Nanjing government to ask for credit for you!" Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.
……………………
Su Hanyun changed into a water-red cheongsam today, and put on a very stylish black British spring and autumn woolen round hat and boat high heels.
Walking on the street, it looks particularly beautiful and dazzling, and the rate of turning heads is very high.
Carrying her handbag, Su Hanyun walked along Shenyang Street to an inconspicuous restaurant.
After looking up at the name of the restaurant and confirming it was correct, Su Hanyun stepped in.
After finding a relatively remote seat and sitting down, Su Hanyun simply ordered a pot of tea and began to wait silently for the contact person to appear.
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and black leather shoes walked into the restaurant. After looking around, he noticed Su Hanyun's black dome hat, so he walked straight towards Su Hanyun.
Sensing the sound of footsteps, Su Hanyun turned around subconsciously. When she saw the person coming, she stood up in surprise: "Director Cao, why is it you?"
The person who came was none other than Cao Binghua. He gestured to Su Hanyun to signal her to be quiet. He quickly walked over and sat across from Su Hanyun.
After sitting down, Su Hanyun couldn't wait to ask: "Director Cao, when did you arrive in Shenyang?"
"I arrived a few days later than you. The situation outside the customs is now chaotic. I was delayed for a few days on the way." Cao Binghua picked up a cup of tea for Su Hanyun and pretended to drink it, but his eyes were watching the surroundings with a low expression.
vocal tract.
"Oh..." Su Hanyun nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I came to Shenyang this time on behalf of a higher-level organization. Firstly, I want to understand the anti-Japanese situation in Shenyang and even Liaoning, and contact our party's anti-Japanese troops. Secondly, I am here for the Shenyang Garrison Brigade. How about it? You have now entered the center of the Shenyang Garrison Brigade.
Organization, how is Zhang Xinghan? Especially his attitude towards our party? Have you tried it?" Cao Binghua said.
Su Hanyun replied with some embarrassment: "Director Cao, during this period, the garrison brigade has been busy responding to the Japanese attack and defending Shenyang. I have no time to test Zhang Xinghan. Moreover, I just joined the garrison not long ago. If I test rashly, I may
To alert the enemy is not conducive to the development of future work."
"Yes." Cao Binghua nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "So, did you find anything unexpected about the Shenyang Garrison Brigade's victory over the Japanese Kwantung Army again this time?"
"Unexpected discovery?" Su Hanyun was a little surprised: "Director Cao, what are you referring to?"
"In terms of the source of weapons and equipment for the garrison brigade, as far as I know, the weapons and equipment equipped by the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade are not produced by the Shenyang Arsenal. Also, the night before yesterday, the Japanese special forces attacked Dongta Airport and destroyed the entire airport. Hundreds of fighter planes were all destroyed.
However, the garrison brigade hid a large number of fighter planes at Beiling Airport. In the end, it surprised the Japanese and reversed the battlefield situation, thus winning the Shenyang defense battle.
According to the information we have, the Shenyang Air Force only has more than a hundred fighters at Dongta Airport. Where did the fighters at Beiling Airport come from?
We have been instructed by our superiors to investigate the origin of the weapons, equipment and aircraft of the garrison brigade at all costs," Cao Binghua said.
"I have never paid attention to weapons and equipment. I have never seen the so-called new equipment. I thought it was ordinary Northeastern Army equipment. As for the hidden aircraft at Beiling Airport, I heard that it seemed that Zhang Xueliang left it secretly. After the September 18th Incident, At that time, they were unable to evacuate in time and were discovered and exploited by the garrison brigade." Su Hanyun answered analytically.
"This is impossible. Our lurkers around Marshal Zhang have never discovered that he has imported fighters of this scale in recent years. If so, we would not have known about it."
Cao Binghua denied it and said.
"Then where did these fighters come from?" Su Hanyun looked at Cao Binghua in confusion.
"So you must secretly investigate and find out the origin of these fighters." Cao Binghua instructed.
"Okay, I will investigate as soon as possible." Su Hanyun nodded and replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "Hanyun, why are you here?"
