Chapter 348: Looking at the Sichuan Army's Trump Card
This dinner!
It lasted nearly an hour, and Yang Biao also kept Yu Hua's orders in mind at all times.
Regarding the Third Group Army's desire to form an alliance, neither agree nor refuse.
First, play tai chi with Sun Tongxuan and the others!
After this dinner, Sun Tongxuan, citing that it was getting late and night marches were unsafe, asked Yang Biao to stay the night.
Yang Biao did not decline!
After all, he also had a mission coming to the Third Group Army this time.
Since Sun Tongxuan asked him to stay, then he would stay, and probe the situation of the Third Group Army while here.
Zhang Dazhi grinned and said, "Brother!"
He looked at Lin Zhizhong: "Regimental Commander Lin, I won't blow up this railway."
The Guizhou Army under his command has now also been centralized by the Nanjing Command.
Lin Zhizhong hurriedly lit one for Zhang Dazhi.
Afterwards!
After hearing Lin Zhizhong's account!
In an instant!
Zhang Dazhi was also stunned!
At this moment!
Independent Brigade of the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office.
Plus, during this period, communication methods were extremely backward.
"Does this Sichuan Army have such a big appetite?"
It greatly reduced the pressure on the 67th Army, but after the Songhu Campaign ended.
"In my opinion, the Sichuan Army's appetite is not small, is it?"
Logically speaking, the Sichuan Army troops had already arrived in Shandong Province, and this station served as an important transit point.
After a few puffs!
"Why is there no one at this station?"
No one knew about this at all!
After all, during wartime, people were in a panic, and the local officials had all retreated.
The way out for the Third Group Army was to find a big tree to rely on!
Voluntarily join under the banner of the Nanjing Command?
This matter was really not within the scope of consideration for the three of them?
Do you not see!
Since the Northeast Army lost Zhang Hanqing, how many of the troops that voluntarily joined under the banner of the Nanjing Command had their designations revoked?
Were they not afraid that the Nanjing Command would embarrass the Sichuan Army?
Yu Xuezhong picked up his teacup and took a sip of warm water first: "The Sichuan Army wants to take over my Third Group Army."
"No!"
Many leaders of the Guizhou Army units had also been sidelined by the Nanjing Command.
"We are the Sichuan Army!"
After arriving at the station, they discovered that there were hardly any guards here.
Sun Tongxuan was the first to say: "What do you think about our alliance with the Sichuan Army?"
"To make us willingly submit under the banner of the Sichuan Army."
The one placed at the very front was certainly the Nanjing Command!
In this Songhu Campaign, Wu Keren's 67th Army.
Lin Zhizhong hurriedly responded.
Therefore!
Sun Tongxuan and the others really had to think carefully about the way out for the Third Group Army.
"This railway cannot be blown up."
"In view of my unit's lack of manpower, I ask Regimental Commander Lin to assist in guarding the railway."
"This kid Yang Biao handles things with ease."
"Tonight, we are going to blow up the railway and retreat backwards."
"It looks like it was prepared in advance."
Through the communication between Lin Zhizhong and Zhang Dazhi.
After Sun Tongxuan finished speaking, Cao Fulin gasped.
In the bloody battle at Songjiang Town, although the Sichuan Army pinned down a large number of the Japanese Army along the Taihu line.
"If he were someone unprepared, could this kid respond so well to the questions we raised?"
Among them!
Yu Xuezhong had his orderly personally escort Yang Biao to his room to rest.
Only then did he know that the government officials in the nearby cities, because of the Third Group Army's retreat.
"There's no one in front!"
Lin Zhizhong shouted: "Station Master!"
Would the Sichuan Army dare to do such a thing?
The Third Group Army has over one hundred thousand men; the Sichuan Army wants to incorporate them under its banner.
"The Japanese Army is already near Zou County."
Yu Xuezhong, Cao Fulin, and Sun Tongxuan, the three of them, are also very clear on this.
"I would like to see!"
Now the Sichuan Army Second Route Army has entered Shandong Province, wanting to take over the Third Group Army of Shandong Province.
Sun Tongxuan and his party now want to see how the Sichuan Army will settle things with the Nanjing Command.
Although he is not clear on the details, the role played by the Railway in transporting troops, food, and ammunition is immense.
After taking a few puffs of a Cigarette, Zhang Dazhi said: "Our teams have all retreated to the rear."
As a Railway worker, Zhang Dazhi counts as half a soldier, regarding the development of the war situation.
This group of people had long since run off without a trace!
"The Sichuan Army is likely plotting against Shandong Province!"
If the Nanjing Command does not loosen its grip, the Sichuan Army will have no way to gain a firm foothold in Shandong Province.
"This appetite is indeed not small!" Sun Tongxuan sighed at length: "By my estimation."
This makes Lin Zhizhong very strange.
"Moreover, they also want to incorporate my Third Group Army under their banner."
"The Sichuan Army must have anticipated this point!"
The Nanjing Command still revoked the designation of the 67th Army on the charge of unfavorable combat performance.
"Station Master!"
They should have dispatched heavy troops to garrison it!
Zhang Dazhi was silent for a long while.
"Furthermore, my Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army already has troops marching toward Teng County."
Seeing Lin Zhizhong being so accommodating, Zhang Dazhi leaned forward, took a deep drag, and lit the Cigarette.
"With just you few people, this is an important transit station."
"Just now at the dinner table."
After a brief contact!
Having not seen a Cigarette for a long time, Zhang Dazhi reached out and took the Cigarette.
In many places, the remaining Police Force or Security Regiment also did not know that the latest orders had been issued.
"Since the military orders of the Fifth War Zone have changed, I will continue to hold my ground here."
Commander-in-Chief Han was executed by firing squad, and the situation in Shandong Province has changed.
However, with no officials working in the local government, there was no one to convey the orders.
Commander-in-Chief Han was executed by firing squad?
"What conditions did Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua put forward."
"We are executing the orders of the Third Group Army Commander-in-Chief, Marshal Han."
"Neither refuse, nor agree!"
"Third Group Army Commander-in-Chief Han Fuqu has been executed by firing squad for retreating without authorization and losing national territory."
The three men, after seeing Yang Biao sent away by the orderly, looked at each other.
"Looking at your uniforms, are you Yunnan Army troops transferred from the rear?"
The Third Group Army is fine; it belongs to the military and has Sun Tongxuan and others to convey instructions.
It is in a state of anarchy, and all administrative instructions are still the retreat policy originally issued by Han Fuqu.
Lin Zhizhong fished a Cigarette out of his pocket and handed it to Zhang Dazhi.
Getting off the train at Lincheng!
The Regimental Commander of the Vanguard Regiment, Lin Zhizhong!
"Click!"
"This station is about to be bombed, what is there to guard."
He really is not clear about this matter.
Upon hearing this!
"After this dinner, this kid Yang Biao only had six words."
"Hiss... hiss..."
What!?
The remnants of the 67th Army were incorporated into the Central Army units.
Likewise!
The Provincial Chairman of Guizhou Province... Wang Jialie!
"I think!" Cao Fulin responded: "This Sichuan Army must have anticipated this long ago."
"They are about to blow up the Railway trunk line from Teng County to Lincheng, and blow up the bridges and stations."
The Vanguard Regiment has now arrived at Lincheng!
The Railway station master... Zhang Dazhi!
"The defensive strength is clearly a bit weak."
This led to the execution of Han Fuqu and the situation in some cities on the southwestern Shandong front.
The local Security Force and Police Force also all retreated to the rear in a rush.
This resulted in some places in southwestern Shandong near the front line.
Seeing troops approaching from the rear, he was truly taken aback.
"Which unit are you from?"
To say nothing of the distant past, just take the 67th Army of the Battle of Songhu as an example.
Yu Xuezhong nodded: "Old Cao is right."
Nowadays, the Sichuan Army already has troops stationed in Teng County to block the Japanese Army from moving south.
The bridges and Railway from Teng County to Lincheng must then play their role even more.
