Anti-Japanese Special Forces Through Time and Space

Chapter 79: Capture of Jinzhou in the first battle after customs clearance ([-])

Zhang Lieyang took the telegram and read it.After reading it, Zhang Lieyang held the telegram in his hand and murmured: "It seems that history will be rewritten by me!" After a while, Zhang Lieyang, who had adjusted his mood, smiled and looked at the sunset in the sky and couldn't help but let out a voice Laugh out loud.

At night, Zhang Lieyang stood in front of the map, carefully drawing on the map.About half an hour later, Li Mutian walked in and said, "Lieyang, I just got information from the underground working committee! Three elite divisions and one armored division of the Kwantung Army used to encircle and suppress Yang Jingyu rushed towards us. ! It is estimated that it will arrive in ten days at the earliest!"

"Then is there any movement from the ghosts behind us?" Zhang Lieyang asked while drawing.

"There is no news yet! But I think they must have made some movement!" Li Mutian said with a frown.

"I'm going to close the door and beat the dog! At that time, I will let the 717th Division and the 557th Division go around from the two wings to Shanhaiguan to block the retreat of the Japanese North China Army, and then I will use the two ace troops in my hand to participate in the encirclement and suppression! As for the Japanese army in front of us , I think the newly created No.20 Army will not be so bad, right?! Five divisions and one brigade can't even defend for five days!"

"Lieyang, don't forget that the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated! Moreover, the Japanese army is good at roundabout warfare, so what should we do if the Japanese army avoids our frontal defense line?" Li Mutian said worriedly.Hearing Li Mutian's words, Zhang Lieyang smiled and waved to Li Mutian and said: "Look at my defenses, you will know!"

Li Mutian walked to Zhang Lieyang's side, looked at the markings on the map, and said in surprise: "Lieyang, you have never been to Jinzhou, how do you know Jinzhou so well?!"

"This is all thanks to the intelligence personnel!" Zhang Lieyang said to Li Mutian, "Old Li, I will now appoint you as the commander of the new No. 20 Army, and you will take full command of the new No. 20 Army defensive operations!"

Li Mutian solemnly held Zhang Lieyang's hand and said, "Lieyang, don't worry!"

Zhang Lieyang nodded and said: "Lao Li, don't blame me for being wordy! Jinzhou is an important stronghold in front of Shanhaiguan. And it is the only way to the pass. The main reason why we were able to take Jinzhou easily is that we used our troops surprisingly ! If it is a frontal attack, then we have to explain everything here!"

"Lieyang, I will follow your deployment! I will lead the troops to rely on the reinforced concrete fortifications on the Fortress Mountain, Shuangshanzi West Mountain, Hanwangdian South Mountain, Zijing Mountain, Liangma Mountain and other highlands to block the invading Japanese army step by step!" Said After that, Li Mutian turned around and left.

After Li Mutian left, Zhang Lieyang looked at Zhang Xianghu and asked, "Xiaohu, have you collected all the things I asked you to collect?"

"Commander, don't worry! We've collected all the firecrackers and fireworks around here!" Zhang Xianghu said with a smile.

"Okay! Later, you will use the devil's radio to generate electricity and say that Jinzhou needs reinforcements! Immediately after the telegram is sent out, you immediately lead the guards to set off fireworks and put firecrackers in tin buckets to make the noise louder!" Zhang Lieyang ordered earnestly. .

"Understood, Commander! I'll go right away!" Zhang Xianghu said and left.After Zhang Xianghu left, Zhang Lieyang turned on the walkie-talkie and called Zhang Xiangchun over.

Zhang Xiangchun hurried over after receiving Zhang Lieyang's order and said, "Commander, why did you ask me to come here?!"

"You and the special operations troops led the engineering brigade to lay mines and booby traps along Beining Road! Be careful to make sure the density is high! At the same time, you drive away all the people around you!" Zhang Lieyang said seriously.

"Understood! Commander, just watch!" Zhang Xiangchun said and left.

Just when Zhang Lieyang was deploying defensive operations, in the conference room of the Chongqing Supreme Command!Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said to all the officers present: "Zhang Lieyang led the new No.13 Army and has taken back Jinzhou!"

Hearing what Chiang Kai-shek said, the officers below immediately reasoned with each other.Seeing the discussion below, Chiang Kai-shek coughed twice and said, "Now the Japanese army is urgently dispatching soldiers from various places in North China to deal with Zhang Lieyang's troops! What's your opinion?"

After thinking for a while, He Yingqin stood up and said: "Committee, I think this is a great opportunity for us to recover North China! If we deploy our troops properly, we may be able to drive the Japanese army out of Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop! But we don't know where Zhang Lieyang and his men are now. The specific situation! If you don’t cooperate properly, it may bring trouble to Zhang Lieyang’s department!”

When the discussion was intense, Chiang Kai-shek's secretary walked into the meeting room and handed a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek.After reading the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered: "I am now ordering the transfer of three armies and eleven divisions from various places to join the North China battlefield!" At this time, Chen Cheng stood up and said: "Committee, a large number of our troops are now stranded in Guangxi And Hunan, if we have pulled out so many troops now, how can we stabilize these places we are holding on to?!"

Hearing Chen Cheng's words, Chiang Kai-shek said with a serious face: "Could it be that you senior generals of the party and state are not as good as Zhang Lieyang?! I have made up my mind!" After speaking, Chiang Kai-shek left.

Looking at the back of Chiang Kai-shek leaving, Chen Cheng said softly to He Yingqin: "It seems that the telegram just now gave Lao Jiang a lot of support!"

"Yes! But what can we do if we don't know the content of the telegram?!" He Yingqin left helplessly while speaking.

Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters!After Zhu De received Li Mutian's telegram, he looked at the map of Northeast China with serious thoughts.After a while, Zuo Quan walked up to Zhu De's side and asked curiously, "Boss Zhu, why are you so preoccupied today?"

Zhu De sighed and handed Li Mutian's telegram to Zuo Quan and said, "Zhang Lieyang is not an easy man! With a brigade and a regiment, he easily captured Jinzhou, which was heavily defended by the Japanese army! Now Zhang Lieyang started to come to surround him again. Click to help! I really don’t know how he thought of it!”

Zuo Quan looked at the telegram and said, "I really want to be beside Zhang Lieyang to see how he directs this battle!" Hearing Zuo Quan's words, Zhu De smiled and asked, "If I ask you to be Zhang Lieyang's staff now, would you are you willing?"

"Boss, are you joking?!" Zuo Quan said with a smile.

Zhu De looked at Zuo Quan and said seriously: "This is not a joke, I am asking for your opinion!" Zuo Quan thought for a while and said: "Boss, if this is an order, I will obey it!"

Hearing Zuo Quan's words, Zhu De thought for a while and said honestly: "Zuo Quan, Zhang Lieyang was actually a member of our party a long time ago! But he didn't want to participate in the civil war. After he decided to drive Little Japan out of China, he took his whole family and left China So after researching, I decided to send you to his side as a staff officer first, and when he leaves, you and Comrade Li Mutian will take over the command of the new No.13 Army!"

Zuo Quan saluted Zhu De with a smile and said, "I promise to complete the task."

Two days later, in the secret base of No. 13 Group Army newly created in Zhongtiao Mountain, Zuo Quan came here under the arrangement of Zhou Enlai.Through Liu Fengming's arrangement, Zuo Quan boarded the bomber that delivered supplies to Zhang Lieyang.After a day and a night, Zuo Quan finally arrived at Zhang Lieyang's side before the battle started.

Looking at Zuo Quan, Zhang Lieyang secretly thought: "This is the senior general of the Eighth Route Army who died in the Anti-Japanese War! Since you have come to my side, then I will not let history repeat itself!" Thinking of this, Zhang Lieyang suppressed his surging mood and said : "Comrade Zuo Quan! From now on, I will appoint you as the deputy chief of staff of the newly created No.13 Army Group and the deputy commander and chief of staff of the newly created No.20 Three Armies!" Zhang Lieyang handed a map to Zuo Quan and went on Said: "This is my plan for this battle, take a look!"

Hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Zuo Quan took over the map and looked at it, then said, "May I give you two opinions?"

"Of course!" Zhang Lieyang said with a smile.

"First of all, I think your battle is a bit risky! If the Japanese army breaks through the defense line of the new No.20 Army, then our army will be in a desperate situation! Second, I think you have too few troops on the front line of Tashan! If the Japanese army Reinforce Huludao from Qinhuangdao, break through the Tashan defense line and go straight to Jinxi, then our army will be cut off by the Japanese army!" Zuo Quan said seriously.

"Then, does Chief Zuo have any solution?" Zhang Lieyang asked with a smile.

Seeing Zhang Lieyang's appearance, Zuo Quan thought for a while and said: "There is only one way, give up this campaign! Start guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army!" Hearing Zuo Quan's words, Zhang Lieyang said with a smile: "Brother Zuo Quan, you are also my senior And you also studied in the Soviet Union! Did you only learn guerrilla warfare at the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union?"

"Then I want to hear the commander's opinion!" Zuo Quan said unhappily.

"I don't have any great opinions. If you knew about the firepower equipment of my unit! You wouldn't have said what you just said!" Zhang Lieyang handed his troop firepower equipment manual to Zuo Quan.Zuo Quan took over the firepower equipment manual, looked at it and asked, "Don't we have rifles here?"

Zhang Lieyang smiled and said: "Yes!" Zhang Lieyang turned on the walkie-talkie, called Zhang Xianghu into the office and said, "Xiaohu, take the left deputy chief of staff to familiarize yourself with our department's firepower and walkie-talkie immediately." use!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xianghu respectfully said to Zuo Quan, "Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, please follow me!"

After Zuo Quan and Zhang Xianghu left, Zhang Lieyang took a deep breath and sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect God to make such a joke on me! He sent the famous general of the Anti-Japanese War to my side!"

After walking out of the office, Zuo Quan looked at Zhang Xianghu curiously and asked, "I want to ask, how many things are you equipped with?" Hearing Zuo Quan's words, Zhang Xianghu said with a smile: "Our ordinary soldiers each equip one A submachine gun, a pistol, five grenades, a fighting dagger and a Tang knife! Like special operations forces, each of them is equipped with two pistols! Anything else you can only ask the commander yourself!"
