Although the road from Xi'an to Taiyuan is extremely poor, the speed of military trucks can still be maintained at 20 to 30 miles per hour. After passing Taiyuan and exiting the mountains of Shanxi and entering Hebei, the road condition improved and it was fully mechanized for the first time.
The independent regiment raced wildly on the highway. It took only thirteen days to complete a distance of nearly 3,000 miles and reach the outskirts of Peiping.
As the commander of a small colonel, Liu Lang was naturally not qualified to meet with General Zhang Shaoshuai, who was the number one military officer in northern China. Liu Lang naturally did not expect to have the opportunity to meet with the senior officials of the national army. He knew that now
I was so humble that I told the supreme commander of the north that the Japanese invaders would fully invade Rehe on February 17, and it only took half a month to capture the entire province of Rehe, and they marched under the Great Wall.
I'm afraid it just makes people think of him as a madman.
At this time, Rehe also gathered a heavy army of 100,000 soldiers, which was only much more than the Japanese army of 70,000.
What Liu Lang was thinking about was how to persuade Shangguan to arrange him to the place he wanted to go. But in his previous life, he had spent half a month looking at it thoroughly.
However, Liu Lang, this little butterfly from another time and space, finally flapped his little wings and stirred up the waves on the other side of the Pacific. I don’t know if Marshal Zhang was more leisurely at this time or thought he should be polite to the Central Army who had rushed thousands of miles to come to his aid.
I want to meet Liu Lang, the little colonel commander, in person.
When Liu Lang stepped into the spacious conference room of the Northern Military Commission branch in Peiping, he saw the back of a man wearing a woolen admiral's uniform, standing in front of a map of the north with his hands behind his back, meditating.
Zhang Xueliang, a name well-known to people in the future republic, was the one who led hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops to flee and allowed the Japanese to occupy the three Northeastern provinces without firing a single shot. It was also he who launched the "Xi'an Incident" at the risk of his own life and the annihilation of his family.
"It was he who forced the bald principal to admit the existence of the Red Army and fight against Japan together when the mountains and rivers were shattered. When the negotiations were completed, he stubbornly sent Chairman Chiang, who had knocked out his front teeth and swallowed him into his stomach and wanted to cut him into pieces, back to Nanjing.
He was eventually imprisoned for more than half a century.
Even without great military exploits, the love between this young marshal, known as one of the four most beautiful men in the Republic of China, and Miss Zhao Si can still be talked about. This is a state that no one in the top ranks of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party can reach.
No matter what the world thinks, there is no doubt that this is a legendary figure during the Republic of China.
Liu Lang, now standing behind this legendary figure, stared at the most contradictory general of this era in China with eyes from 1985.
It has to be said that the moment Zhang Xueliang turned around, no matter how confident Liu Lang was, he still had the feeling that "Lang has more water than Liang".
Zhang Xueliang is as mentioned in the history books. In fact, he is not very tall, only about 1.7 meters. However, the well-fitting admiral's uniform and riding boots make the man with a fair face and two mustaches appear heroic and heroic.
Unlike a gentle scholar, his slightly frowning thick eyebrows also contain the heroic spirit that belongs to a soldier.
If this were left to future generations, Duoduo would have hundreds of millions of fans! Those handsome boys who are becoming more and more feminine will definitely be crushed to pieces.
Liu Lang expressed his appreciation and raised his hand in salute without hesitation: "Liu Lang, the leader of the independent regiment of the Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army, has been ordered to report."
Zhang Xueliang raised his brows and smiled slightly: "I have heard the name of Commander Liu. The hero of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, he took down the headquarters of the 7th Regiment with one shot and killed a major general and a colonel of the Japanese army. He is really worth my millions."
The heroes in the national army have always thought about what kind of strong and powerful men they are, but I didn’t expect that they turned out to be such elegant people, haha.”
He is good at chatting, so good at chatting. He is handsome, has a good family background, and can chat. No wonder Miss Zhao Si stayed with him during his half-century of confinement. This was Liu Lang's first love for Zhang Xueliang.
Second impression. A fat and white guy like me can be said to be an elegant person. Well, maybe the temperament thing comes from something in the bones.
The hero had the same opinion, and Liu Lang felt that there was really nothing wrong with this sentence.
"Commander-in-Chief Zhang is ridiculous, my subordinates are just lucky." Liu Lang still had to be modest.
Liu Lang is not stupid enough to think that a top five member of the Military Commission will really remember you. I'm afraid, when he decided to meet him, a young colonel, his information came to him!
"Do you know why I want to see you?" Zhang Xueliang smiled softly, obviously satisfied with Liu Lang's modesty.
"I don't know."
"You are a hero, but that is in the past. I am just curious. It took thirteen days for the military order from the Ministry of Military Affairs to be issued. A regiment of more than 2,000 men actually ran from Guangyuan, 3,600 miles away, to Peiping. How can you
Tell me how you did it?" Zhang Xueliang had a trace of curiosity on his smiling face.
"Since the beginning of the Shanhaiguan Incident, my subordinates have warned the entire regiment that the Japanese invasion is imminent, and all members of our independent regiment must sacrifice their lives for the people and go to the national disaster with our bodies. The two thousand members of the entire regiment also deeply believe this.
Starting from mid-January, the entire regiment conducted an 800-mile field training, from Guangyuan to Xi'an. The training was not yet completed. They received orders from the division headquarters to go to the front line to participate in the battle. At the same time, with the full support of the supply battalion directly under the division headquarters, our regiment was able to arrive on the 13th.
Peiping." Liu Lang had already thought of a reason to deal with it before coming.
After all, traveling across three thousand miles in thirteen days is indeed a bit shocking for this era.
"Haha, we all went to the national crisis together. Captain Liu, you did a good job. Huang Jie and Huang Pingjia also did a good job. No matter how many of you came, because of your heart to serve the country, you
You should be rewarded." Zhang Xueliang laughed heartily.
The slightly gloomy face finally showed joy.
Undoubtedly, it is difficult for a soldier who loves his country deeply not to have a good impression of another soldier who loves his country deeply, even if their status is very different.
"What award do you want to receive? Supplies or military pay, as long as it is within my scope of authority, it doesn't matter what you say." Zhang Xueliang threw out a sweet cake with a smile.
Zhang Xueliang was very sure that Liu Lang, who was not a direct descendant of the Central Military Army and was a communications officer of the 19th Route Army six months ago, would accept his kindness. As far as he knew, the 2000 men of Liu Lang's independent regiment left their baggage company behind in order to rush for time.
, all members of the team rushed to Peiping day and night with light equipment. The supplies should be what he needs most at the moment.
What's more, he doesn't need Liu Lang to show his loyalty to him, he just needs to accept the goodwill from the top leader of the northern military.
As for what the Central Military System thinks, he has neither the control nor the desire to control it. The old man tried to drive a wedge into his Northeastern Army, but he did it for many people, young and old. So what's the big deal for him, a dignified general, to add some trouble to the Central Army?
But after all, he underestimated the young colonel Liu Lang. If it were anyone else who suddenly received such a sweet steamed bun from the supreme commander of the north, who would dare to accept it without sincerity and fear?
