Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Wind Rises and the Clouds Rise in the Southeast of Ji (8)
The battle went very smoothly, Tang Yulin's troops experienced the siege of Tonghua County, experienced the tragic battle of the wasteland, and they were exhausted, plus the commander was captured, they were defenseless, and they encountered the second and third regiments to recuperate, and destruction was the only fate. Even so, these three remnants caused hundreds of casualties to Feng Yong's troops.
"Young marshal, we have really won! We did it! Lin Hu was extremely excited, who would have thought that they would achieve such a result at such a small cost.
"It's all luck! But we can't relax now, and while all parties still don't understand what's going on, we must quickly sweep the entire southeast of Kyrgyzstan. Inform Liu Hei and ask him to carefully interrogate the officers of the 27th Division. Be sure to get their communication password. Also, the Eagle Yang Army of the Mountain Eagle that we rescued was transformed into thoughts. I believe that the Eagle Yang Army, which has experienced being abandoned by its master, should be much better. Feng Yong's expression was solemn. No one expected things to go so smoothly. Feng Yong didn't expect that after Liu Hei quietly solved the 16th Regiment, he would be so bold to follow the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 16th Regiment anyway to see Tang Yulin. You must know that if the commander of the first battalion had a little bad intentions at that time, then Liu Hei and them would definitely die. Even Feng Yong, who later learned about the situation, was scared into a cold sweat.
High risk is accompanied by high reward, and it is Liu Hei's risk that made Tang Yulin and his guard battalion aggrieved and become Liu Hei's prisoners. It also laid the foundation for the victory of the final battle.
"By the way, treat those wounded soldiers, whether they choose to join us or not, take good care of them." For the soldiers of this era, Feng Yong gave the greatest attention. Feng Yong, who has the idea of later generations, does not regard human life as a mustard like the warlords of this era. He will not regard his soldiers as a tool for his own power, his ideal is to work together with his soldiers to build the desired new China. Feng Yong, who understands China's trend, knows the dangerous situation that China is facing now, and if it were not for the outbreak of World War I at this time, I am afraid that China would have been divided by the Western powers. The pain inflicted on the Chinese nation by decades of turmoil is too great, and Feng Yong does not have so much time to wait for China's red hope to appear, so he can only do his best to guide the country in a better direction.
"Report to the young marshal, the third regiment has sent an emergency!" The correspondent of the third regiment quickly handed over the top-secret document in his hand to Feng Yong.
Feng Yong opened it and looked at it, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"God help me! Tell your regiment commander to treat Zhang Tianba well. He's a trump card in our hands. ”
Feng Yong felt that his luck was too good, and he wanted to go to the edge of the battlefield to investigate the situation, but the person he accidentally caught turned out to be Zhang Tianba, the commander of the Eagle Yang Army and the tenth son of the mountain eagle. This is definitely a big fish! With him, Feng Yong could concentrate his forces on directly attacking Weihu Mountain and capturing the first mountain eagle of the bandits alive.
Feng Yong knew that capturing Tang Yulin was only a victory in the first stage, and if he wanted to occupy the southeast of Ji, the mountain carving on Weihu Mountain was the key. Now Feng Yong also felt Tang Yulin's helplessness just now, the troops were insufficient, even if he had a good fighter, he was not able to grasp it. You must know that in Tonghua County, Zhang Zuolin's men and horses and the captives of the mountain carving combined were 25,000, more than three times the total number of Feng Yong's troops. If not properly settled, it is definitely a big problem.
At this time, Liu Shan, the political commissar of the Third Regiment, hurriedly walked in, "Young Marshal, good news, this is the last order issued by Zhang Tianba when he escaped from the battle. With this order, we can use it as a breakthrough to collect the men and horses of the Eagle Eagle Raising Army on the mountain. ”
Feng Yong glanced at Zhang Tianba's order, and was also overjoyed. This bandit green forest world pays attention to righteousness first, and Zhang Tianba's order, coupled with his own behavior, is already completely treacherous. The reason why the Eagle Yang Army was able to expand to 20,000 people in a very short period of time was because of the reputation and prestige accumulated by the old man of the mountain eagle for decades. And Zhang Tianba's behavior of escaping and betraying his trust is the most despicable behavior in the green forest world.
"Great, Liu Shan, you should hurry up and do this. The veterans of the Eagle Yang Army were isolated first, they were diehards of the mountain eagles, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to transform them for a while, so that they would be mixed in the large army, but it would affect the transformation of other bandits. Feng Yong thought for a while and said.
Liu Shan nodded and quickly went to handle it.
"Young Marshal, the materials seized this time have been basically cleared out. The main firearms in the soup were 7.92 mm Hanyang-made rifles and a small number of Mauser 98 rifles. And the equipment of the Eagle Yang Army is more chaotic. There are Hanyang-made, Mauser 98, Taisho 30-style rifle, and 38-type rifle. After the final count, 12,321 were made in Hanyang, 2,136 were made in Mauser 98, 14,354 were Taisho 30 rifles, and 862 were 38 rifles. 1256 shell guns. 96 Madsen light machine guns, 134 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 28 Hatch Chase heavy machine guns. Millions of rounds of ammunition and 10,000 grenades. In addition, there are thousands of war horses, thousands of broadswords and other cold weapons. Listening to the statistics of the General Staff, even if Feng Yong was calm, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
With these weapons and equipment, how many troops can I expand! As soon as Feng Yong thought of this, he felt hot in his heart.
"Send a telegram to the chief of staff and ask the teaching team to go south and enter Tonghua County in a covert way. In addition, he secretly sent a telegram to the four regiments, telling them to try to deal with the bandits in the eight counties, and not to use our banner for the time being. Feng Yong said to the staff officers beside him, Chief of Staff Li Jun is going to sit in Changchun City, but the first batch of staff officers he trained are barely passing at present, and all of them were sent to Feng Yong this time.
"Also, is the radio station under control? Without my orders, not the slightest word can get out. Feng Yong thought for a moment and ordered.
Now I am afraid that the big forces in the entire three eastern provinces do not know that they occupy Tonghua County, and they are even more profitable to stew Tang Yulin's troops and the Yingyang army. In order to prevent Zhang Zuolin's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Feng Yong decided to come to a hiding place.
Anyway, now that the communication soldiers of the soup department have fallen into the hands of Feng Yong, and the complete password has been tortured, he can definitely use the radio to fool Zhang Zuolin for a period of time and win time for his own development.
Then Feng Yong closed the entire Tonghua County, and only allowed to enter and not to leave. The news that the Eagle Yang Army was completely defeated must not be hidden, after all, in the big battle in the north of the city, more than 2,000 people of the Eagle Yang Army fled, and the news of the defeat of the Eagle Yang Army must have been spread. The outside world will also think that Yube has suffered heavy losses because of the defeat of the Eagle Yang Army, and temporarily retreats to rest. Of course, the mountain eagle, who finally got a chance to breathe, will not let go of this development opportunity, let alone provoke Tang Yulin.
Under the brutal interrogation of the guard battalion of the 3rd regiment, the correspondent of the 27th Division finally chose to give in. Got hold of the code of action of the 27th Division. A telegram asking for a break came from Tonghua County to Beidaying in Fengtian.
Mukden, Beidaying.
Looking at the telegram from the soup department in his hand, Zhang Zuolin was in a trance, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Big brother, what's wrong? The cabinet ministers won the battle, defeating 20,000 people with 10,000 people, although their own losses were not small, but they solved the Eagle Yang Army, and this southeast of Ji was almost controlled by us. Zhang Zuolin's brother, Zhang Zuoxiang, who is also the chief of staff of the 27th Division, said.
"Fu Chen, things are not as simple as you think. When the minister left, I had already told him to destroy the people of the mountain eagle as soon as possible at all costs. It is said that with the character of the minister, although there are less than 5,000 people left, but with the 19th regiment, there are nearly 8,000 people, and the cabinet minister should not choose to rest in Tonghua County, but go straight to the nest of the mountain carving. Now the cabinet ministers are not moving in Tonghua County, and there is no sign of contact with the 19th regiment, in short, all this is a little abnormal. ”
Listening to Zhang Zuolin's words, Zhang Zuoxiang also fell into deep thought.
"Big brother, could it be that the cabinet minister is injured and is recuperating in Tonghua County. If that's the case, the situation makes sense. ”
"Wounded?" Zhang Zuolin's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said: "There is this possibility, after all, there are no eyes on the battlefield." However, the telegram did not say anything, indicating that the minister's injuries should be fine. But now that the 19th Regiment and the ministers are far away, it is extremely dangerous to separate the troops in the southeast of Jidong. Although the mountain carving has lost its elite, the remaining tens of thousands of bandits cannot be underestimated. Speaking of this, Zhang Zuolin was in a hurry.
"Big brother, do you want to transfer two regiments into the southeast of Ji?" Zhang Zuoxiang suggested.
Zhang Zuolin shook his head and said, "It's impossible now." Lord Duan had already warned us to let the ministers withdraw their troops from the southeast of Ji, and I prevaricated on the grounds that the ministers were provoked by bandits to send troops in anger. However, if we transfer troops from other places into Jilin, I am afraid that our intentions for occupying territory can be seen by everyone. Plus the 28th Division was already dissatisfied with our actions. Feng Delin also informed me that if another soldier of the 28th Division entered Jilin Province, the 28th Division would also send a large army into Jilin Province. If Feng Delin and the mountain eagle join forces, we will be more passive. ”
"But, big brother, the ministers have suffered heavy losses, don't we care?" Zhang Zuoxiang said.
"It's impossible for the regular regiment to be transferred, but we haven't trained a lot of recruits in the bandit mountains on the Jiliao border, and now it's been half a year, and it's time for them to be born." Zhang Zuolin's eyes sparkled. In order to seize Jilin Province, Zhang Zuolin did not think less. Among them, it is a policy to occupy the bandit cottages on the Jiliao border and then secretly develop their own power. Half a year has passed, and Zhang Zuolin's secret troops trained on the lonely border have exceeded 3,000 people. After all, in order not to attract the attention of the mountain carving, these cottages are all small cottages, and there are not many people who can train them. That adds up to about 3,000 people.
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded and said, "With these three thousand people, the chances of the cabinet ministers are greater." All we can do now is to delay the interference of other forces in Jilin as much as possible. ”
"Yes, because of Feng Yong's kid, the Siberian Tiger and the River Dragon can't sit still, according to the report of our secret agents buried in the two major forces, the Siberian Tiger has formed a White Tiger Army, and this White Tiger Army should be a mixed team of infantry and cavalry, and the current number is ominous. The dragon that crossed the river also established a dragon guard. There should be quite a few people. If these two teams form an army, it will be the biggest threat to our entry into Jilin. ”
"Big brother, Feng Yong, this kid can't be underestimated, in just a few months, he can pull up a team of tens of thousands of people, this ability is already terrifying." Zhang Zuoxiang said worriedly. Compared with Feng Yong, these people are really old.
