Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It can be said that many of the C-47 transport aircraft that have been improved by the Chinese aviation industry only have the appearance of the original aircraft, but the interior has been changed beyond recognition, and its performance is much better than the original.

    This is not only true for the C-47 twin-engine medium-sized transport aircraft, but also for other aircraft, warships, and weapons and equipment. The paratroopers¡¯ parachute bags, food, clothing, weapons, etc. are all different from the paratroopers of World War II and closer to modern paratroopers.  .

    Now Guo Zhuocheng has equipped the C-47 twin-engine medium-sized transport aircraft four years before the United States itself, and its technology is more mature and its performance is more stable. If they were to face off against American paratroopers now, the Chinese paratroopers could definitely kill the opponent instantly.

    Although the parachuting skills of the Chinese paratroopers are not very high and their cooperation with each other is still relatively rough, Sun Xingguo believes that they are enough to cope with the task of capturing Xuzhou.  Because many of these paratroopers are Red Army soldiers. They have strong personal combat effectiveness and rich combat experience before joining the paratroopers. They may not be able to do anything when gliding and landing in the air. Once they go to the ground and cut the landing rope,  Once they become free land warriors, they will immediately turn into fierce tigers and automatically lead other soldiers who have not experienced combat to become steel warriors.

    Of course, the reason why Sun Xingguo wanted to fight was not to achieve military exploits.  Military exploits no longer matter to him. He has made too many military exploits. It can be said that apart from Guo Zhuocheng, he has the most military exploits.  His purpose is to give paratroopers practical combat experience. To face more severe battles in the future, they must face the armies of the United States, the Soviet Union, and Germany in addition to Japan. They must be tempered by actual combat.

    Nowadays, the training of these paratroopers is based on book materials. The performance improvement is very fast at first, but then the progress becomes slower and slower. They can only go to the battlefield to try.  Let them go to Xuzhou to fight the enemy.  In this way, we can not only train the troops and improve their actual combat capabilities, but also learn from experience and lessons, which will be beneficial to the formation of paratroopers in the future.

    Peng Huading is not very willing to let the paratroopers go into battle now, just like he doesn't want the air force and tank troops to go into battle.  He hoped that both the air force and armored forces would be used on the anti-Japanese battlefield. Now their mission is to train and train.  Once the Anti-Japanese War breaks out, these mighty troops will be able to give the Japanese devils a decisive blow as soon as possible.

    ¡°But I thought that the ugly daughter-in-law always had to see her parents-in-law, and I thought that if the troops did not engage in actual combat, they might not be able to exert their combat effectiveness on the anti-Japanese battlefield in the future.  Especially paratroopers, a special new branch of the military.  Even in the time and space of 1993, China had no actual combat experience. China has never used paratroopers. It has zero combat experience in both time and space. It is better to let them try it now and accumulate actual combat experience for the two time and space.

    So.  Guo Zhuocheng agreed.  At the same time, Sun Xingguo was ordered to send some special forces members to participate in the paratrooper surrender operation and fight with the paratroopers.

    After the request for instructions to use paratroopers was approved by Chongqing, Sun Xingguo returned to Sichuan Dazhou in a small fighter jet and began to take charge of directing the paratroopers' sneak attack on Xuzhou.

    Just when Guo Zhuocheng was preparing to send troops to cut off Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang's escape northward, the First Army and the Central Soviet Area garrison led by Mr. Lin and Su Yu had already arrived at the gate of Nanjing City, attacking  Nanjing carried out an encirclement on three sides, leaving only a way to escape north.

    Although the Red Army troops have not yet arrived.  It was only the vanguard, but its posture was scary enough. The Nanjing defenders did not dare to make any big moves at all, and they slipped into the Nanjing city faster than a loach.

    They also know that it is difficult to stop the Red Army's attack simply by relying on the city defense of Nanjing. Otherwise, Ganzhou would not be lost so quickly, Chongqing would not change hands so quickly, and Xinyang and Hefei would not be lost so quickly.  The entire army was wiped out, but having a city defense is better than having no city defense, and the safety factor is definitely much greater.

    "However, they are still in fear all day long while hiding in the city.  It's just that they are Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang's cronies, and they are determined to defend their two masters. What's more, now that Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang are the most powerful officials in China, they can now  He is said to be an important minister of the country, so he needs the credit of escorting Conglong even if he doesn't want it.

    The Red Army did not launch an attack immediately.  They only maintained vigilance against the garrison in Nanjing City, while they overhauled fortifications and artillery positions outside the city. At the same time, they fired several artillery shells into the city, but the warheads did not contain murderous shrapnel or explosives.  A leaflet was installed, and the title of the leaflet was "A Letter to the Army and the People in the Capital".

    The content is to truthfully describe the situation in the periphery, describe the achievements of the Red Army during this period, praise the good deeds of General Fu Zuoyi and General Feng Yuxiang, and ask the soldiers and civilians in the city to understand the situation clearly and not to do unnecessary things.  Fighting and resisting desperately will not only be in vain, but will also cost you your precious life and leave you with a bad reputation.

    The leaflet also urged Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang to make a decision as soon as possible.?They follow the people's will and try their best to maintain a little more vitality for the Chinese nation. I hope they can follow the example of Generals Fu Zuoyi and Feng Yuxiang, put aside their past prejudices, and contribute their own strength to building a strong new China.  .

    In addition to the publicity leaflets on the surface, Mao Rundong, who was far away in Chongqing, personally sent a telegram to Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang. In the telegram, Mao Rundong did not regard himself as the winner, nor did he emphasize the current strength of the Red Army, but spoke with great certainty.  The tone described Yan Xishan's contribution to overthrowing the Qing government, affirmed the practical things Yan Xishan had done for ordinary people in Shanxi, affirmed the construction achievements of Shanxi Province, and hoped that General Yan Xishan could serve in Shanxi Province.  We will make more and greater contributions to the construction of New China in the future.

    As for Zhang Xueliang, although Mao Rundong pointed out that he abandoned the Northeast without firing a shot, although there were various reasons, this was a stain on his life that he could not erase or remove at all.  However, Mao Rundong praised Zhang Xueliang in his telegram for resolutely giving up independence on December 29, 1928, regardless of the obstruction of the Japanese and the danger to himself and his family. He resolutely announced that Northeast China would implement a change of flag, abide by the Three People's Principles, and obey the National Government.  The reunification of the motherland.

    In the telegram, Mao Rundong hoped that General Zhang Xueliang would make the right choice again this time, stand with the people and the common people across the country, and lead the troops back to the Northeast in the future to defeat the Japanese. Not only would he be able to avenge his father who was killed by the Japanese  not only can he wash away the shame of abandoning the Northeast, but also become a national hero for defeating the Japanese devils. In that case, Marshal Zhang Zuolin will feel relieved under Jiuquan.

    Obviously, in this telegram, Mao Rundong made arrangements for the future of Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang: First of all, they will not become prisoners because of this. They will also hold official positions in the new government, but Yan Xishan will withdraw from the military.  Will be responsible for the work of national economic construction, while General Zhang Xueliang will continue to command the army.

    The two of them sat in the office relatively speechless with this telegram.  Zhang Xueliang felt better than Yan Xishan. After all, he was young and not very ambitious for power. He had been trained when he was able to give up the Northeast King and commit himself to Jiang Gaishi. It would be better for him to lower his status again.  nothing.

    Although he is now the vice president and the nominal commander-in-chief of the country, in fact the territory they control is too small, only a few provinces, not much different from the previous four northeastern provinces.  And he, the general marshal, is in vain. The one who can really command is the Northeast Army. Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army does not obey his command at all. His orders to the Northwest Army must be approved by Feng Yuxiang.  implement.

    And Yan Xishan's Jin army was even more incompetent. They regarded themselves as imperial guards and considered themselves the cronies of President Yan Xishan. They could not even obey Zhang Xueliang's orders, and Yan Xishan not only acquiesced in this matter.  , and even extended his hand to the Northeastern Army. The Northeastern Army still couldn't express its opposition. Who calls him the president?

    So now he has no psychological barriers to giving up the vice president and commander-in-chief of the country.

    But Yan Xishan is different. He has chosen to wait and see his whole life. This time he finally seized the opportunity and sat on the throne of the president. He finally enjoyed the supreme glory and became the first person in China, just like in the past.  How can an emperor be willing to give up just like that?  If you really want to surrender to the Red Army and give up the throne of the President, it is better not to leave the mountain at that time. It is better to continue to be your own local emperor in Shanxi, and to be popular among the major forces, which is safe and worry-free.  How good?  If he had not joined forces with Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yuxiang to attack Chiang Kai-shi, Jiang Kaishi and the Red Army might still be fighting fiercely, and he would still be free in Shanxi.

    However, there is no medicine for regret in this world. Even if Yan Xishan regrets his intestines, he can't turn back time: "What should I do?"

    The two of them sat in the office and barely spoke, just sitting in silence.  It was not until an hour later that people kept coming to report on their work, and they had to interrupt this ineffective sit-in. The two of them had to deal with major military and political issues that were annoying and destined to have no solution.

    This work lasted until late at night.

    Zhang Xueliang stretched painfully, rubbed his tired eyes, and prepared to go back to his official residence to rest and sleep under the persuasion of his staff.

    As soon as he got into the car, before the car started, a senior staff officer who was staying in the war room hurriedly chased after him.

    Zhang Xue¡¯s conscience moved and he quickly ordered the driver to stop.  He did not let the senior staff officer report or take the telegraph newspaper in his hand, but said directly: "Get in the car!"

    After the senior staff officer got on the bus, Zhang Xueliang said: "The sky is falling anyway, what else is there for you to panic about? Is there something going on in the north?"

    Although he tried to remain calm, his words were still extremely dry.
