Chapter 1004 Young Commander or Big Brother? Chapter 1005 Ace Weapon(3/4)
The group got into the car and roared out of the city.
Now the Northeast Army treats me as my own, so some things are no longer obscure.
Along the way, Zhang Xueliang introduced his army to me.
After the Northeast changed its flag, the Northeast Army organized 25 infantry brigades, 6 cavalry brigades and artillery regiments. Of course, this does not include the air force and the navy. In 1930, in order to support Chiang Kai-shek in participating in the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang organized two troops into the pass with 9 elite brigades of 100,000 people. The commanders were Yu Xuezhong and Wang Shuchang. After the end, the nine brigades that entered the pass, as well as three cavalry brigades, artillery and engineers were stationed in the Pingjin area. It can be said that the Northeast Army where they entered the pass were all elite and were much better than the Northeast garrison in terms of equipment.
In addition, the Northeast Air Force has 250-300 aircraft, divided into five aviation teams. However, in the war with the Soviet Union, the Air Force suffered heavy damage. Zhang Xueliang imported a large number of new aircraft from France, and now the Northeast Air Force is new aircraft.
In terms of the navy, it has two large and small warships, and the main battleship "Haiqi" is now the largest cruiser in China.
"What we went to today is Xuezhong's residence." Zhang Xueliang said with a smile.
"Old Yu, this time you're cheap!" Wang Shuchang, another general of the Northeast Army sitting in the car, laughed.
"Andre, I plan to select elite troops from the five brigades in Lao Yu's hands, set up a special brigade, and then equip all the things you gave me with this brigade. By then, this brigade will definitely become the first brigade of the Northeast Military and Local Ace! I have told Xuezhong this plan and will be implemented from today." Zhang Xueliang was very tall.
The original equipment of the Northeast Army is considered excellent among the warlords of all factions. If we bring the most advanced weapons and equipment in the world, let alone the first brigade of the Northeast Army and Local Ace, there are probably not many people who can compare with this unit in the entire Chinese army.
In this era, the army in hand is the best voice, and Zhang Xueliang cannot be unhappy.
Our car left Beiping City, traveled 20 miles west, and arrived at the base.
As soon as I approached the station, it was so lively.
There are troops everywhere and busy scenes everywhere.
Teams gathered quickly, and at the same time, a steady stream of people rushed over.
"These are all elite people mobilized from various brigades. Look, it's good." Zhang Xueliang pointed at these people and introduced.
Although I haven't seen the troops from other places yet, the Northeast Army in front of me are indeed considered elite. Whether it is physical conditions or their mental outlook.
"The Northeast Army is indeed well-known!" I exclaimed. Then I turned around and asked Yu Xuezhong, "Old Yu, how long will this brigade be formed?"
"This is hard to say. If it were just a formation, it would be possible in two days, but the running-in time would take longer, and I still have a very headache now." Yu Xuezhong frowned.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Mr. Corleon, the weapons you sent are too advanced. Our soldiers use six or five or seventy-nine rifles and dragon-type submachine guns. We have only heard that they are the most advanced weapons before. Our Northeast Army is equipped with battalions in the troops stationed in Shenyang. No one is familiar with this here, so even if the weapons are sent, the soldiers must be familiar with it. This is difficult." Yu Xuezhong scratched his head.
"Yes. Second brother, your weapons are too advanced." Zhang Xueliang smiled as he looked at Yu Xuezhong.
"This is not difficult, not difficult." I spread my hands.
"Oh, Mr. Corleon has a way?" Yu Xuezhong was overjoyed.
"The dragon-type submachine gun is produced by our Rocketke Consortium Northrop Arms Company, and it is also the most commonly used weapon for our factory guards. They are so familiar with this." I smiled.
"The Factory Guards? Are the 50 people who were at the airport last time?" Zhang Xueliang was very impressed by the Factory Guards.
"We came here this time and brought 200 people." I replied.
"Andre, your two hundred people can definitely be used as a group!" Zhang Xueliang said with a smile.
"Darren, bring them now and help Lao Yu train the troops." I turned around and nodded at Darren, and Darren left.
Darren brought the factory guards for more than an hour.
As soon as they appeared, all the Northeast Army were suppressed.
If we say that the people here are all elite soldiers and locals here, they can only stare at them in front of the factory guards.
Not to mention the brown and black factory guard uniforms of the factory guards, nor to mention the equipment they all have on their bodies. The physical fitness alone makes it hard for the Northeast Army to forget. After all, these people are the elite of the elite selected from the factory guards.
"How many guards are there like this in your factory?" Zhang Xueliang asked.
"Several Thousands." My words made Zhang Xueliang stick out his tongue.
"Young Marshal, these people are really amazing! You can tell at a glance!" Yu Xuezhong nodded while watching. "General Yu, in Los Angeles, these factory guards are all elites selected from a large number of people. What you see is the elites selected from the factory guards, so they are naturally powerful." Fei Mu explained.
All the generals of the Northeast Army nodded.
Next, all the guards of the 200 factories were divided and they became temporary instructors.
On that day, we did not return to the city, but settled down directly. Zhang Xueliang said that he would watch the ace brigade be formed in person.
I'm very interested in this.
After all, I have to calculate that September is nearly two months away, so there is no hurry. I took this opportunity to get to know the Northeast Army.
In the next two days, under the planning of Yu Xuezhong and others, the elite troops selected from the five brigades formed a brigade with a number of about 8,000. The brigade was divided into three infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment and one artillery battalion. The brigade commander was Wang Yizhe, the former brigade commander of the 7th Brigade who was deeply appreciated by Zhang Xueliang in the Northeast Army.
"This Wang Yizhe is a very capable man. He is brave in war, never retreats and is resourceful. Every time his troops are like a big tripod, no matter how the enemy attacks, they will stand firm, so they are called Wang Laoding. His 7th Brigade was drawn from Shenyang half a month ago. This time, the special brigade was basically established based on the 7th Brigade." Zhang Xueliang pointed to an officer in his thirties who was instructing soldiers in the crowd and introduced to me.
Wang Yizhe, the Seventh Brigade, was stunned for a moment.
If I remember well, the September 18th Incident broke out in history and the Japanese army attacked Beidaying, but the Seventh Brigade of Wang Yizhe was stationed in Beidaying.
This brigade should be guarding Shenyang, so why was it transferred to the gate?
When Zhang Xueliang saw me stunned for a moment, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Why did you suddenly transfer people to the gate?" I asked
Zhang Xueliang's eyes flashed. Then he pulled me to the side and whispered: "Because there seems to be some changes here."
"Change, what changes?" I widened my eyes.
Could it be that there is a war?
Zhang Xueliang smiled and then called me to approach a room next to me.
The house was not big, but it was cleaned up. After the orderly man poured the tea, he went out, and there were only two of us in the room.
"This matter is so long." Zhang Xueliang sighed: "Do you know Shi Yousan?"
I shook my head.
"Yes. How could you know this person? I'm confused." Zhang Xueliang took a sip of tea and said, "This person is from Changchun, a slippery man. He was originally a subordinate of Feng Yuxiang, but later he joined Yan Xishan. After failing, he joined Feng Yuxiang again."
"In March of the previous year, a war between Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang broke out. Shi Yousan betrayed Feng Yuxiang and surrendered to Chiang Kai-shek. Later, Chiang asked him to go south to attack the Gui clan, but he refused. In the end, he supported Tang Shengzhi's anti-Cheng Chiang. After Tang Shengzhi failed, he was afraid of Chiang Kai-shek's punishment and surrendered to Yan Xishan again."
"During the Central Plains War, he returned to Feng Yuxiang's command. Last September, our Northeast Army entered the pass. When he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately responded to me and betrayed Feng Yuxiang."
"I was confused when I heard this. This person is simply a fence-skinned man." I laughed.
"Yes, yes, now people give him nicknames and ask him to turn against the general." Zhang Xueliang also laughed, but then his face became heavy.
"At the beginning of this year, I organized his troops into the 13th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army. He served as the commander-in-chief. The army was in Guide, and the entire army had 64,000 people, but this *** was not satisfied and wanted to take away the entire North China."
"Two months ago, I received information that Shi Yousan and my cousin Zhang Xuecheng colluded with each other, and they also joined the Guangzhou National Government." Zhang Xueliang sighed.
I still know a little about Zhang Xuecheng. This person is the son of Zhang Xuefu, the younger brother of Zhang Zuolin. After Zhang Zuolin was bombed to death, the Japanese took a fancy to Zhang Xuecheng and wanted him to win over him, wanting him to take Zhang Xueliang to replace him. This guy also had this ambition to openly recruit troops to fight Zhang Xueliang, and was later annihilated. Then he escaped from the three eastern provinces. Shi Yousan and him made a fuss with him, which was definitely a plan to Zhang Xueliang.
"A month ago, I received a telegram from Nanjing saying that Shi Yousan had the intention to raise an army to attack me. There were only 100,000 people in the pass. Although he only had more than 60,000 people, I had to guard against it, so I dropped the Seventh Brigade. After all, this Brigade is our elite."
"Then how is this Shi Yousan now?" I asked.
"The situation is not good. This time he seemed to be determined to attack me. A few days ago, I went to Nanjing for a meeting, for this matter. Nanjing had already noticed it and told me that this guy might send troops to attack me in the near future, so I plan to drop three infantry brigades from the northeast, two artillery regiments and several other troops into the pass. In this way, our army will have 180,000 people in the pass. There is enough room for dealing with Shi Yousan."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xueliang's brows dispersed.
"Brother, if you adjust this, there will be not many elite troops in the Northeast. It is enough to deal with the Shi Touyousan, but what if the Japanese call him?" My words made Zhang Xueliang tighten again.
At the same time, I remembered some things vaguely. In history, the main reason why the Japanese attacks were so smooth after the September 18th Incident and the major reason was that the main elite of the Northeast Army was transferred to the pass. Although there were 200,000 to 300,000 troops stationed in the three northeastern provinces, there were very few elite troops. On the eve of the September 18th Incident, Zhang Xueliang transferred the last elite troops of the Northeast Army to the pass. This is also the main reason.
Unexpectedly, these elite soldiers were transferred into the pass because of this reason.
"Yes, I'm worried too. Although the Japanese have a place, Shiyousan has to be careful. Once his mutiny succeeds, our Northeast Army will be in trouble." Zhang Xueliang frowned.
I understand what he meant. It took so much effort to get into the pass. Finally, the current good situation was achieved. If Shi Yousan made up some trouble this time, the mutiny attacked the Northeast Army and succeeded. Then the great situation that the Northeast Army had worked hard to defeat would be lost and had to retreat back to the pass again, which would definitely be impossible for Zhang Xueliang to accept.
It is precisely because of this reason that he had to draw 80,000 elite troops from the three northeastern provinces to deal with Shi Yousan.
Hahaha. Looking at his frowning look, I laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Xueliang said sadly.
"Looking at your worrying look, it looks like a poet's temperament. If you take a photo and publish it in the newspaper, I don't know how many women you will fascinate." I joked.
"Don't be joking or talking about serious things!" Zhang Xueliang himself was also happy.
"It's easy to deal with. This matter can be solved without transferring 80,000 elite troops into the level." I spread my hands.
"Oh, tell me!" Zhang Xueliang was overjoyed when he heard this.
I walked to a military map hanging inside the house and said, "Look, this Shi Yousan is in Guide now. The north is your Northeast Army and the south is Chiang's government army. Have you ever eaten a sandwich?"
"Sandwich?" Zhang Xueliang's brows moved when he heard this word, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.
I smiled and said, "Your Northeast Army uses your own strength to eliminate Shi Yousan. 100,000 people are indeed not safe, but if you let Nanjing attack at the same time on the southern line and attack from the north and south, how could Shi Yousan be held and eaten like a sandwich?"
"Okay! OK! OK!" Zhang Xueliang applauded.
"But, will Nanjing send troops?" He looked at me and then became worried again.
"Of course, I got it." I nodded.
“Why?”
I shrugged: "You said just now that Shi Yousan was instigated by the Guangzhou National Government. Jiang and Wang Jingwei are mortal enemies. He cannot make Shi Yousan successful. Besides, this time he can take the opportunity to expand his territory, so why not do it?"
"It's reasonable! It's reasonable!" Zhang Xue was full of conscience: "In this way, my 80,000 elite troops don't need to be mobilized."
To be continued...
