The Northeast Army was the only army in the country with complete sea, land and air organization during the Republic of China. It was formerly the army led by the Fengtian warlord Zhang Zuolin. Many people called it the Fengtian Army, and its controlled area covers the entire three eastern provinces.

After Zhang Xueliang changed his flag in the northeast at the end of 1928, the Fengtian Army was reorganized by the central government into the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of the National Revolutionary Army, referred to as the "Northeast Army". However, today's Northeast Army seems somewhat inconsistent with the name.

In 1931, when the September 18th Incident broke out, Zhang Xueliang ordered the Northeast Army to retreat into the pass in order to preserve his strength. From then on, the Northeast Army, which lost the three northeastern provinces, even though their strength was still strong, lost the foundation on which they depended for survival.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang, who was the deputy commander of the Suppression Chief, also felt a little embarrassed when facing the voices of many soldiers of the Northeast Army demanding to "recover lost territory". He also had some resistance to the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army.

Faced with the Red Army that fought from southern Jiangxi to northern Shaanxi at this time, after seeing Yang Hucheng's troops adopting a self-defense attitude, Zhang Xueliang also knew that he was afraid he could not do too much in encircling and suppressing the Red Army.

The reason why Zhang Xueliang really felt that it was the one who was far away in Nanjing who was always vigilant about the Northeast Army he controlled and repeatedly deducted military pay.

When he learned that the main force of the Red Army had surrounded Yan'an, which was stationed by two of its main divisions, but never took an attack. Zhang Xueliang also realized that the senior Red Army leaders were afraid that they would not want to fight the Northeast Army head-on.

However, Yan'an City, which was controlled by him, was probably handed over to the Red Army. In view of this situation, Zhang Xueliang also ordered the two main divisions of the Northeast Army stationed in the northeastern army to stand firm and wait for the Red Army to negotiate.

If the Red Army did not negotiate and launched an attack directly, they could also fight back on the spot. Zhang Xueliang naturally had his own plans for the next battle. At least in his opinion, this battle should not be fought.

As expected, the second and third divisions of the column surrounded Yan'an were two main divisions. They only deployed defenses outside Yan'an City and did not fire a single shot at Yan'an City. Both sides were very tacitly aware of and quietly waited for the arrival of decision-making power.

At this moment, the Fourth Division of the column cooperated with the Red Third Army to expand the Red Army's control area to the boundary border with Shanxi. Most of the Northeast Army that replenished prisoners were given gifts.

Only the two main divisions of the Northeast Army in Yan'an City want to break through at this moment, but it is unlikely that they will be able to break through. In view of this situation, Zhang Xueliang has been paying attention to the situation in Yan'an and waiting for the arrival of the column commander.

He Zhengdao, who led the cavalry brigade to Yan'an City from Wayaobao, quickly sent someone his own handwritten letter to the Northeast Army in the city. Of course, he also asked the headquarters for the peace talks with the Northeast Army.

It was learned that the most famous column commander of the Red Army had arrived. Zhang Xueliang had seen the conditions issued by He Zhengdao, just like the Northwest Army. He retained the weapons and ammunition of the Northeast Army stationed in Yan'an and sent them away from northern Shaanxi.

Even if you know that such negotiations will annoy the one far away in Nanjing, Zhang Xueliang also understands that the main force of the two divisions in Yan'an actually has little confidence in fighting the Red Army to the death.

During this period, although the Red Army besieged did not have any siege, the defenders standing on the city wall could feel that the Red Army was stronger than they thought. Fighting with such troops was no advantage!

‘Let our people contact the other side, the Red Army is still very sincere in its conditions. Now northern Shaanxi has been controlled by them, and the result of fighting to the end will only cause both sides to lose money.’

Zhang Xueliang, who gave such a conclusion, quickly sent his instructions back to the Yan'an defenders. The two division commanders who received the telegram soon stood guard in the city and the other left the city to contact He Zhengdao.

After receiving the reply from the Northeast Army in the city, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Okay! If you don't fight, it's better not to fight. Although we lost the southern Jiangxi Soviet Area, we are still fighting harder and stronger.

Although the Northeast Army is still strong today, they have lost the three northeastern provinces, but they are actually like rootless duckweed. If the Zhang family had a strong foundation, if they were others, I was afraid that this army would have dispersed long ago."

Wang Tianlin, the chief of staff of the column who was sighing, nodded and said, "Yes! That Young Marshal Zhang issued a policy of non-resistance back then, thinking that he could preserve his strength. However, he did not expect that it would be difficult for him to go back once he left."

After confirmation by the liaison officers from both sides, they finally decided to meet outside Yan'an City. The opposite side was a division commander of the Northeast Army. On the Red Army, He Zhengdao personally took action to show his sincerity.

After the two sides arrived at the meeting place and had some politeness, He Zhengdao's talkative and youth also left a deep impression on the people involved in the negotiations of the Northeast Army. It seemed that it was also surprising that the commander of the First Column of the Red Army was like this.

Just as He Zhengdao shook hands with the Northeast Army commander and planned to end the talks, He Zhengdao, who had never relaxed his vigilance, soon saw a major standing on the side of the Northeast Army negotiating team, suddenly making a gun move.

This dangerous action made the guard who was close to protecting He Zhengdao immediately exclaim: "Commander, be careful!"

He Zhengdao, who was blocked by the guards, also slowly drew a flying knife. When the opponent fired a shot and hit the guards blocking him, the flying knife also pierced the other party's wrist.

This sudden scene made the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance regiment who protected He Zhengdao instantly aimed at the Northeast Army, which was also caught off guard. The division commander also seemed incredible when he heard the gunshots coming from behind.

Looking at the major who was being controlled with his wrists covered, he said in shock: "Lin Xiao, what are you doing? Put down your guns for me and don't be trapped by others. Lin Xiao, who are you?"

When the division commander of the Northeast Army questioned the major who shot, he looked at the guard who was shot on his shoulder and said with great concern: "San Jiazi, how are you?"

'fine!'

He Zhengdao also seemed very moved when he looked at the guard who covered his shoulders and said that it was okay. This guard Zhao Sanyuan (camera friend of the book 520, 89, 65), who was two years older than him, also followed him all the way from the southern Jiangxi Soviet Area.

Earlier, when the Xiangjiang River broke through, the troops were dispersed, and they were finally gathered together by He Zhengdao. Later, after being selected into the reconnaissance regiment, he had some kung fu foundation and good shooting skills, so he was selected into the guard company.

‘Nothing is wrong! Xiangdong, put down his gun and quickly take Sanyazi to bandage it.’

‘Yes, Commander! But they!’

‘Didn’t you hear what Commander Xu said? This matter has nothing to do with Commander Xu and the others! If Commander Xu and the others do not have a sincere negotiation, they will not only bring these few people out. Okay, don’t affect the trust of our two armies because of a little thing.’

Such words made Xu Youchang, who was very embarrassed, feel relieved. He said very sorry: "Sir He, I'm very sorry! I really didn't expect that my staff officer would do such a thing to you."

‘It’s okay! If I had a good guess, this Staff Officer Lin should have acted on order, right? I have heard that the Central Army has penetrated your Northeast Army very deeply, and it seems that this is true now!

Dare to shoot under such circumstances means that you have aspirations to die. This is my first time meeting you. Logically, we have no revenge of life and death. You are not afraid of death but have to complete the task. This reminds me of where you come from. Is it from the Revival Society?’

While he was slowly saying these words, He Zhengdao kept staring at the major who covered his wrists and kept silent. When he said "Operation on orders", the other party's eyes flashed. When he said "Fuxing Society", the other party seemed a little excited.

He immediately said: "I don't know what you are talking about! I only know that you are all sinners of the country. It is because of you who are the people that the country will become like this. If you can't kill you this time, you will go far!

But don’t be proud either. I believe that one day, you will be punished as you deserve. And you, with the military pay from the State Government, privately colluded with the enemy ordered to be eliminated by the State Government, and you should all die!"

‘Lin Xiao, are you really a detailed work sent by the State Government?’

Before, when Xu You often heard He Zhengdao's words, he thought that Zhengdao was cheating on Lin Xiao. As a result, he did not expect that Lin Xiao, who was in a zealous state, said such words to them, as if he was not afraid of death at all.

‘Master, I am not a meticulous work. I just know the faith I should pursue. You have all betrayed your own faith, so you are all traitors. Traitors, everyone can be punished!’

Such words made He Zhengdao laugh and said, "Teacher Xu, it seems that there is a rare loyal man under your command! I have always heard that your Director Dai is a master in intelligence warfare.

Now it seems that it is really worthy of its reputation. If it weren't for my smart guard today, I, He, was pretty good, and I, probably, would have made you succeed. Once I was killed, my subordinates would definitely kill Commander Xu and others.

In this way, the peace talks between our two armies will be completely destroyed. At that time, even if our army takes over Yan'an City, the unknown situation will definitely think that this matter is an ambush set up by our army. It is a great plan to kill a few shots!"

'snort!'

Lin Xiao, who was glared at by the Northeast Army representative who participated in the negotiations, seemed not afraid at all. Such fanaticism made He Zhengdao feel that this was a talent. It’s a pity that it was a talent who was deceived!

Just when Xu Youchang was a little angry and planned to shoot him to death on the spot, He Zhengdao made an unexpected move and took his hand and said, "Teacher Xu, it's a pity to kill such a loyal man!"
