The Republic of Heroes

Zhang Zhonglin's [-]th Regiment was located in the second echelon of the Northeast Army's offensive charge. Tons of shells hit the Northeast Army's positions as violently as hail. I can't see it either.He couldn't help but click his tongue secretly, how many living people would be left on the other side after bombing like this for an hour?Even if there are still living people, how many people still maintain their combat effectiveness?

The night was getting darker, but it was brightly lit by the trails of artillery fire and bullets, and the shouts and killings were loud. Following the call from the headquarters, Zhang Zhonglin understood that it was time to play by himself.The newly formed twelve regiments with the original remnant battalion as the backbone can be fully tested immediately on how effective they are.

But after rushing to the fortifications that the Northeast Army had spent nearly a month constructing, he was disappointed to find that almost none of the defeated soldiers in front of him seemed to have a complete organizational system.The remnants of the Northeast Army had no time to retreat and were submerged in the sea of ​​​​Shandong soldiers, so they had to stand up and resist. However, the resistance ability of this kind of stragglers was really limited.The Northeast Army, which was at the back of the front line, escaped in time and did not get entangled with the Shandong Army's soldiers.Everyone hated their parents for giving birth to two missing legs, running as fast as they could, and running as far as they could.

Zhang Zhonglin is quite familiar with the quality of domestic warlords' private soldiers. Although the quality is uneven, the Northeast Army is still the leader. In terms of equipment, even President Jiang's Central Army is somewhat inferior.Before this battle, Zhang Zhonglin was mentally prepared to fight a tough battle, so the regiment headquarters held mobilization meetings one after another, and he gave no less than three pre-war mobilization lectures with rich voice and emotion.However, after the battle started tonight, he felt as if he had been punched hard, as if he had been flashed with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The defeat of the Northeast Army was so unbelievable that Zhang Zhonglin was unprepared for the defeat. Is this still the Northeast Army?Is this still a war?Could it be that the Northeast Army has corrupted Zhang Xueliang to this extent after Zhang Zuolin's death?In fact, Zhang Zhonglin really blamed Zhang Xueliang on this point. Although Zhang Xueliang is willful and indecisive, he is still very capable. Under his leadership, the Northeast Army has recruited a large number of young officers from military academies to the army. It was time to go one step further.It's a pity that what he met was led by Wu Xiaoliang, whose war philosophy was ahead of the Shandong Army.

Use heavy artillery in front of the station to cover firepower and suppress and attack the enemy's vital forces as much as possible, while the artillery in the domestic warlord team is only a subordinate of the infantry.Therefore, after maximizing the role of artillery fire, the role of the infantry is only to rush up to harvest the ripe crops.

Just a day ago, the Northeast Army, which was showing off its power and showing off its power, was defeated in an instant without dignity, and scrambled for their lives.Zhang Zhonglin put away the emotion in his heart, and ordered the troops to let go of the captives and hand them over to the follow-up brother troops. All the horses rushed towards the frontline headquarters of the Northeast Army in the rear.He had studied the defense map of the entire Northeast Army long before the station, and Wang Yizhe's frontline headquarters was just in front of his offensive line. Now that the battle is going so smoothly, several lines of defense have been destroyed, and the headquarters has always been one The stripped naked woman was lying in front of him, how could he resist the urge to go straight forward!

It is also because the Northeast Army is too arrogant, thinking that the Shandong Army is not as powerful as its own, so even the secrecy work has become full of omissions. You have to go, can you win my Northeast Army again?But the reality is cruel, and gave them a slap in the face.

It was not until entering the outskirts of the camp that Zhang Zhonglin's [-]th regiment encountered organized resistance from the Northeast Army, but the opponent was obviously weak and its firepower was too weak.In front of the twelve regiments of soldiers armed with various standard automatic weapons, their resistance seemed a bit nondescript, even ridiculous.

Zhang Zhonglin didn't need to use his mouth to command. The well-trained recruits already knew what tactics to use in the face of such resistance. After an order was given, the infantry artillery shells flew over the resisting camp in unison, trailing bright trails, which looked extremely gorgeous against the sound of rumbling guns in the distance and the dense sound of bullets around them.

But the camp turned into a hell on earth. It was horrible, with broken limbs and blood flying everywhere. After several rounds of salvos, the resistance in the camp gradually weakened. Zhang Zhonglin raised his wrist and looked at the time. Only a quarter of an hour passed. Compared with the fierce battle that the little Japanese fought in Shanghai, he felt that fighting the Northeast Army was like a strong man bullying a child who had not grown up. This was a unilateral massacre.

It's just that there is no mercy in war, Zhang Zhonglin waved his hand and ordered: "Continue to attack, break through the camp in front, and capture Wang Yizhe alive!"

The name Wang Yizhe was remembered by every soldier in the [-]th Regiment. He was the supreme commander of the Northeast Army on the north bank of the Yellow River. As long as he was captured alive, the battle would be completely over, and their mission would be overfulfilled.

However, Zhang Zhonglin's good luck did not seem to last. When his soldiers roared and rushed into the messy headquarters, only a few senior staff officers who could escape in the future were captured. The map documents were scattered all over the place. There is no time to walk or destroy, which shows the haste of escape.Later, after interrogating those senior staff officers, Zhang Zhonglin realized that he missed the chance to capture Wang Yizhe alive in only ten seconds.

Less than a minute before they rushed into the camp, Wang Yizhe escaped from the camp disguised as ordinary soldiers under the escort of two confidant guards.It's a pity, but the top commanders of the Northeast Army's front line all made up and fled, leaving the remaining resistance forces without the slightest threat at all.

Li Zejun ordered the main force of his subordinates to chase after the territory of Hebei before returning to the division. The 57th Division killed more than [-] enemies and captured more than [-] people. The total number of defeated soldiers of the Northeast Army was at least [-]. It hurt my muscles and bones.

When the belly of the fish in the east turned white and a round of red sun slowly rose at the junction of heaven and earth, only the undispelled gunpowder smoke and lifeless corpses and broken weapons remained on the battlefield.

……

Zhang Xueliang sat on the chair blankly, without any reaction for half an hour.He calculated in his mind that no matter how powerful Wu Xiaoliang was, the farmers and students he recruited temporarily might not be much better than his well-trained Northeast Army.Unexpectedly, his Northeast Army did not take a single round in front of the 57th Division under Wu Xiaoliang's command, and was completely defeated before dawn. Even Wang Yizhe disappeared in the scuffle. Made a prisoner.Both of these possibilities are unfavorable to him.

In fact, if it was the Shandong Army before the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the two sides would be evenly matched, but the 57th Division was the main force that challenged the Japanese army's standing division head-on. It experienced dozens of times of baptism and tempering, and finally defeated the Japanese army. , Drive them out of Shanghai.Victory after victory not only sharpened their swords, but also forged their incomparable self-confidence.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the defeated Japanese general, who had just lost his hometown Northeast Army with low morale, faced the 57th Division.

But now is not the time to think about these things, and it is not the time to sum up the outcome. The more serious problem he faces is that the Northeast Army suffered a disastrous defeat. During this trip to Nanjing, he has lost his bargaining chips, lost face, and lost his heart If he just went back in such a disheartened way, Zhang Xueliang might have no choice but to take the blame and resign, and go to the field with a power call.Wu Xiaoliang defeated nearly half of his Northeast Army. If he took advantage of the victory and pursued him all the way to the city of Beiping, it would not be difficult to take this ancient capital.

The first thing Zhang Xueliang considered was how Wu Xiaoliang would treat him and his Northeast Army. At this time, he didn't even have the heart to be angry at Wu Xiaoliang's sudden attack first. In any case, he also issued an order to attack the Shandong Army, but the opponent If you are more skilled, you will not be wronged if you lose.

"Prepare the car immediately, I want to cross the river."

He finally calmed down. At this moment, he was torn apart from Wu Xiaoliang, so he could only fully support Commander Jiang. After all, there was still a tiger lying on his stomach in Shanxi. It doesn't mean that Yan Xishan will give up this great opportunity to add insult to injury and take advantage of the fire.

That Yan Laoxi is a very cunning old fox, and in the current situation of enemies on three sides, only his ally, Commander-in-Chief Jiang, is the most likely to support him!Although, he knows that Commander-in-Chief Jiang needs a tiger that can always hurt people, not a sick tiger with broken teeth.But I have to give it a try, I hope he will still miss the old love!

Yu Xuezhong's eyes also lost the brilliance of the past, he couldn't figure it out, how could the Northeast Army be defeated like a mountain, and what kind of monsters are Wu Xiaoliang's Shandong Army?

"Commander, are you really going to take this step?"

He looked at Zhang Xueliang with despair in his eyes. He knew that Zhang Xueliang was going to beg Lao Jiang, but was Lao Jiang so easy to beg?Once they go to Lao Jiang, the Northeast Army may be preserved, but Lao Jiang will inevitably force Zhang Xueliang himself to go to the field. He does not believe that Zhang Xueliang is not aware of this.Maybe it was because he still had illusions in his subconscious, but anyway, Zhang Xueliang was responsible for the entire Northeast Army. It was better to keep the green hills alive than to burn everything together. How could he know that there would be no day of comeback?

Zhang Xueliang's dim eyes suddenly flickered a few times, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Xiaohou, I am tired and ready to go abroad to relax. After I leave, the Northeast Army will be handed over to you. Be sure to watch over me." Already!"

Just as the two of them were leaving the door to set off, the confidential secretary chased them out panting.

"Commander, go slowly, Wu Xiaoliang is calling..."
