After the Fengtian meeting ended, Feng Yong left Zhang Dabiao and Wang Tiehan alone, but they were confused.
Zhang Dabiao said casually,"Commander! Why did you ask us to stay? Did someone disobey you and make you angry? I, Old Zhang, will help you cut him!”
Wang Tiehan was also very puzzled. Logically speaking, when the temporary reorganization plan had just been issued, they should have rushed to their subordinate troops to arrange the relevant matters. However, Feng Yong suddenly asked him to stay. He did not know what he wanted to do.
"You idiot!"
Feng Yong didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Zhang Dabiao's words." Alright, I won't hide it anymore. Although there are tens of thousands of troops in the city, only the 7th Brigade and the Guard Battalion can be used. It's still not enough to deal with the Japanese army.”
"Therefore, I called you here because I have an important task for you. This will play a vital role in the defense of Fengtian City.”
"Commander! Please instruct me! I will definitely complete this matter beautifully.”Zhang Dabiao patted his chest and promised.
"That's right! Commander, just give me your orders! I, Old Wang, will complete the mission even if I have to die!”Wang Tiehan nodded solemnly.
Feng Yong was very satisfied with their performance. His team was basically established. If he said one thing in Fengtian City, no one would dare to say another.
Hence, he ordered," Send 300 people from the first division to gather with the airport security forces and form an Air Force Infantry Regiment. We must ensure that the airport is safe. Without my orders, no one is allowed to move a single plane.”
"The 2nd Division will deploy a reinforced company with 12 MC42 general purpose machine guns, 12 Ukrainian light machine guns, and 200 Thompson submachine guns to guard the vicinity of the arsenal. Do you understand?"
Zhang Dabiao and Wang Tiehan looked at each other and immediately said seriously,"I promise to complete the mission!" Then, the two of them saluted and strode out of the police station, which was now the Garrison Command.
No one noticed that their expressions were very serious. Indeed, the most important thing in the entire Northeast was not the hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army soldiers, but the production base that could continuously arm the army, the Fengtian Munitions Factory.
Fengtian Munitions Factory was the biggest legacy left by Zhang Zuolin to Zhang Xueliang. It was a comprehensive arsenal that could produce guns and ammunition. It had 36000 employees and hired more than 30 senior technicians from various countries.
In 1925, it was already capable of producing more than 60,000 rifles of various types, more than 1000 light and heavy machine guns, and 150 large artillery. The largest caliber was the 240mm howitzer, known as Asia's number one arsenal.
As for the Northeast Air Force, there was no need to mention it. It was equipped with more than 300 advanced aircraft of various types, most of which were fighter jets produced in the Soviet Republic and France. Its scale was among the best in Asia.
Even in 1931, Japan only had about 300 planes. Of course, this was also because they did not pay much attention to planes, a weapon of war that had only appeared recently.
It was not an exaggeration to describe these two important areas as being related to life and death. After all, war was not just about people, but more importantly, weapons and ammunition.
As long as they had the Munitions Factory, the Japanese would not be able to take down Fengtian. They would not even be able to occupy the three eastern provinces safely.
Fengtian did not lack soldiers. As early as Zhang Zuolin's era, the Northeast had already established a complete reserve military service system. Moreover, a large number of high-quality soldiers had retired for decades. Just like the Japanese returning soldiers, as long as Feng Yong was given some time, he could quickly arm an army that could drive the Japanese out of the Northeast.
In the entire Northeast Guandong Army, there was only one Second Division. Adding on the various railway garrisons and returning soldiers, there were no more than 30,000 of them. Moreover, in terms of weapons and equipment, the Japanese army might not be able to compare to the Northeast Army. After all, the Northeast Army was backed by the number one arsenal in Asia.
In addition, the Northeast Air Force had firmly occupied the air superiority and did not give the Japanese artillery any chance. Under such circumstances, if the Japanese army could win, they would probably be gods descending to the mortal world.
However, Zhang Xiaoliu was an idiot. He was indecisive and listened to the words of others. Under Baldy Jiang's instigation, he gave up the northeast and did not resist. He was simply stupid!
