Shandong, the county seat of the plains.

"Has the Fourth Brigade left?" Jiang Baili looked up at the map on the wall and said.

"It's already gone. The 12,000 men of the Fourth Brigade were divided into battalions and companies, and now they are basically scattered at the forefront of the confrontation with Beiyang. As soon as we start fighting here, they will take the opportunity to go south. Wang Jigang, who served as Jiang Baili's operational staff officer, said.

"Order the troops, launch a full-scale attack in half an hour, this attack, there is no plan, the target is the Beiyang Army in the entire Luzhong region, not seeking to occupy territory, only to eliminate the living forces of Beiyang as much as possible." Jiang Baili turned around and said.

"Yes!" Wang Jigang shouted loudly.

Wang Jigang understood that Jiang Baili was going to carry out a chaotic war, and there was no specific operational deployment, just a fierce attack. This kind of war is the easiest and quickest, and at the same time the most dangerous. This kind of one-on-one charge often occurs when the two armies first meet, and they attack with the help of the vigor of the march. In this case, the more forces are superior, the more likely it is to win.

The reason why Jiang Baili decided to launch an attack half an hour later was to give the political commissars of the various troops in the northeast time to carry out the pre-war general mobilization. With the encouragement of political commissars at all levels in the army, Jiang Baili believed that the morale of the Northeast Army would gradually rise. When the time comes, the attack will definitely give Beiyang a headache.

With Jiang Baili's order, the entire barracks immediately became busy, and a large number of military supplies were distributed to various companies. Because of how long the war will last this time, Jiang Baili's psychology is not at the bottom, so the Northeast Army must carry as many weapons and baggage as possible.

Because the logistics supply line in the northeast was stretched, although Feng Yong tried his best to operate, the railways in the north were destroyed by the special forces in the northeast. This makes it difficult for them to transport their own baggage, and to maintain two battlefields, which puts a lot of pressure on the Northeast. What's more, these two battlefields have never stopped advancing, and the Northeast Army's powerful firepower is under heavy pressure from early logistics. Therefore, the war capability of the Northeast has decreased a lot. Jiang Baili's annexation of the small county town in the plains was not just due to the fatigue of the soldiers due to the long-term combat of the troops. Or is it the reason why the logistical supply can't keep up.

Even so, grenades, bullets and other ammunition sent by the logistics department of the Northeast Army still could not be satisfied. There have even been lawsuits between several units in the Northeast Army because of the uneven distribution of weapons and ammunition. This kind of thing finally got to Jiang Baili.

Jiang Baili was furious. The war was imminent, and there was a war of words within the army over the issue of weapons and ammunition, which Jiang Baili could not tolerate.

"I tell you, after this war, the whole army will have no logistics!" Jiang Baili came up and said in shock. Jiang Baili looked at the middle and high-ranking officers of the Northeast Army who were standing below and looked at each other, and said with a gloomy face: "In the future, all the materials you need militarily will be captured by me on the battlefield." Look at what you look like now, have you forgotten the glorious experience of the rise of our Northeast Army? Back then, you forgot that you went from nothing to growing stronger by seizing? Now that you have soldiers and food in your hands, you will fight because of the uneven distribution of grain and grass. Since you had the ability to seize weapons from bandits and robbers, now you have a strong army. If the weapons are advanced, can't they seize supplies from the enemy on the opposite side to replenish themselves? ……”

Jiang Baili reprimanded him, causing all the officers to bow their heads in shame. Many of these officers in front of Jiang Baili were old men who followed Feng Yong to the north back then, and some joined after being captured by Feng Yong. But no matter what the situation is, these people have experienced the kind of time when they lived by seizures. It was only later that the Northeast Army fully replaced the 16-type standard rifles manufactured by itself, and the logistics baggage was also guaranteed, so that these officers forgot the cruel living environment for a while. It is the so-called thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. It's also human nature.

"Don't you want food and grass, soldiers, and war exploits? It's all there, which of you can take the lead in attacking the process and capture Duan Qirui alive, are you worried that you don't have everything you want with such feats? Here I would like to tell you that I have just received a telegram from the young marshal, saying that when the battle in Shandong is over, he will personally award awards to the officers and soldiers who have distinguished themselves in this battle. So, I hope to have you on the podium in the future. Jiang Baili said.

When all the officers heard that the young marshal was going to personally award the winners, their eyes lit up one by one. It can even be said that the momentum has doubled in an instant. This made Jiang Baili a little dumbfounded. As soon as they heard that Feng Yong personally awarded them medals, they were happy to be like this one by one.

In fact, Jiang Baili, who has always been at the top level, does not know Feng Yong's influence in the army, especially in the hearts of those veterans who fought with Feng Yong, the young marshal who is full of courage and leads them to victory is a god-like existence. When they heard that the God in their hearts was going to bestow them on them personally, they were like being beaten with chicken blood.

"Time is running out, so go down and prepare! Tell the fighters that as long as they behave well on the battlefield. Both generals and soldiers will have the opportunity to receive a personal award from the major marshal. Seeing that Feng Yong's big brand is so easy to use, Jiang Baili will certainly not let go of such a good way to boost morale.

Before the start of the war, a piece of news spread like madness throughout the military camp of the Northeast Army.

"The young marshal will personally award and commend the combat heroes who have performed outstanding on the battlefield! This combat hero, whether an officer or a soldier, has a chance! ”

This news made the atmosphere in the entire army surging in an instant. Now the entire Northeast Army is full of aggressiveness.

"I didn't expect the young marshal's prestige in the army to be so high!" Jiang Baili said with a sigh. Now his body has long been branded with the brand of the Northeast, so although he is surprised by all this, he can also understand it. And with his understanding of Feng Yong, although Feng Yong is young, his ability is indeed very strong. Especially the strategic vision, the whole world is in his heart! This is also the reason why Jiang Baili is now desperately supporting him, because there is such an iron-blooded person, even if he is a dictatorship in China, he can bring this suffering country to glory. Jiang Baili, who was deeply affected by the German incident, actually did not reject the imperial system, the German Empire was ruled by the emperor, but they were the world's top powers. It's just that China's modern imperial system is too rotten, and the emperor's performance is too poor, which makes Jiang Baili deeply disappointed.

"Commander, the young marshal is the god of the entire Northeast Army, and it is the miracle of the Northeast. Coupled with the propaganda of the commissars, it is not surprising that there is such an influence! Wang Jigang said with a smile. He was originally a confidant of Feng Delin of the 28th Division, and after the Northeast Public Security Army annexed the 28th Division, he was naturally transferred to the General Staff of the Public Security Army. And with his outstanding ability, he was valued by Jiang Baili, and this time he took him with him and used him as an operational staff officer. At the same time, it also has the meaning of promoting him, after all, Jiang Baili is the top staff talent in the original time and space, and the entire Northeast Staff Department has also been perfected by him and Li Jun.

"Yes! The young marshal is a man who can work miracles. However, such a high prestige is too helpful for us to boost our morale. I even have a feeling now that we can defeat the Beiyang Army head-on without sending the Fourth Brigade south! Jiang Baili said with a smile. The morale of the Northeast Army is now high, and the military spirit is available!

Boom -- The earthquake in northwestern Shandong trembled, and the security forces in the northeast launched a surprise attack. Nearly 100,000 troops launched an all-out attack without reservation. In the northwest of Shandong, there is a chaotic war. The first to engage the enemy was the cavalry regiment of the Northeast Security Army. The charge of thousands of cavalry units instantly tore a hole in the enemy's defensive line. Although from the perspective of this era, especially with the use of a large number of automatic firepower, the combat capability of the cavalry has weakened a lot, but the firepower of Beiyang is not strong, especially these patchwork troops, which are usually tight, and now they are even more unable to exert their strength.

Licheng, on the shore of Daming Lake. Duan Qirui's temporary residence.

Since the start of the Northeast move, the sound of telegrams in Duan Qirui's temporary residence has not stopped. And all of them were telegrams that the front was in a hurry and needed reinforcements.

"Prime Minister, the front line is urgent. The 100,000-strong army of the Northeast Army launched a surprise attack, and it has already broken through our two defense lines in a row. Now it's coming to the third line of defense. In its current form, the third line of defense may not last long. ”

"So fast?" Duan Qirui's expression became extremely ugly.

Yucheng County, as a small county town in northwest Shandong, Yucheng County's defense level is not high. However, this small county town has gathered 30,000 troops from Beiyang, and the entire Yucheng county has almost been transformed into a war fortress. Fu Liangzuo spent a lot of energy on the defense of the city, and was ready to fight a good battle with the Northeast Army in Yucheng.

Regarding the sudden madness of the Northeast Army, Fu Liangzuo was conflicted in his heart. During this time, he has been working hard to improve the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, hoping to be disgraced. But deep in his heart, he didn't want the Northeast Army to be dispatched, after all, in terms of strength comparison, Beiyang was still at a disadvantage. The elite of a hundred battles is not a rabble that can be compensated for by numbers.

"Deputy Chief, more than 10,000 people from the Northeast Army have come to the city?" The intelligence officer reported the latest telegram to Fu Liangzuo.

"What? Only a little more than 10,000? Fu Liangzuo's face changed, but he put 30,000 people in Yucheng, just to treat Yucheng as a nail and fix it there, attract troops from the northeast, and reduce the pressure on Licheng Duan Qirui's side.

"And ......"

"And what?" Fu Liangzuo's face became a little unsightly. The Northeast is just too arrogant. He tried in vain to use more than 10,000 people against Yucheng County, which was controlled by his 30,000 army.

"The enemy is carrying heavy artillery this time! From the top of the city, there are at least twenty cannons! And it's the kind of heavy artillery with a caliber of hundreds of millimeters! The adjutant said with a melancholy expression.

"Heavy artillery!" Fu Liangzuo's face changed.
