Chapter 319: Japan's New Weapon
After Li Yuanhong issued a statement in Beijing, in just half an hour, radio stations across the country suddenly became lively, and people were dizzying with electricity one after another.
"Liaoning Province obeys the leadership of the central government in Beijing and recognizes Beijing as the only legitimate government in China."
"Jilin Province obeys the leadership of the central government in Beijing and recognizes Beijing as the only legitimate government of China."
"Heilongjiang Province obeys the leadership of the central government in Beijing and recognizes Beijing as the sole legitimate government of China."

"Qinghai Province obeys the leadership of the central government in Beijing and recognizes Beijing as the sole legitimate government of China."
"Xinjiang Province obeys the leadership of the central government in Beijing and recognizes Beijing as the sole legitimate government of China."

The 14 successive telegrams throughout the country suppressed all forces in the country for a time. Many people did not expect that in less than two years, the Northeast has swept over more than half of the country, and there is a momentum to annex the world. Of course, the biggest shock to ordinary people is that they understand that Beijing is the real central government, after all, there are only more than 20 provinces in the country, and Beijing has already received more than half of the support.
"Damn! Shameless! "Looking at the electrification of Shandong and Zhili provinces. Duan Qirui was furious. Now that the province is still at war, Beijing has already concocted the illusion of the fall of the two provinces before the final result is out. However, for this situation, Duan Qirui has no way to come forward to clarify. Because the situation in the two provinces is really not optimistic. Shandong is fortunate to say that the vast area south of the Yellow River is still under the control of Beiyang, but the sovereignty of Zhili Province has changed hands strictly speaking. Just half an hour ago, Duan Qirui received a farewell message from Zhu Jiabao, the overseer of Zhili. Then the contact between the two sides was interrupted, and it was not known whether Zhu Jiabao was martyred or surrendered.
Duan Qirui had already sent a telegram to Zhao Wei, who had gone to support, asking him to be careful about the situation of Zhili, if Zhu Jiabao really surrendered, the entire Zhili might have fallen under the rule of Beiyang, and Zhao Qi, who had not yet made contact with the enemy, was likely to plunge headlong into the enemy's encirclement.
The current loss of Beiyang is not only the territory, but also the troops, the source of troops, the population, and the prestige. If the original decline of the Beiyang was due to internal decay, then the rapid decline of the Beiyang is due to external reasons.
Plains County. The Northeast Army, which was originally resting, was urgently assembled. High-ranking officers of the Southwest Military Region headed by Guo Shanhu quickly rushed to Jiang Baili's headquarters.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received the young marshal's extreme lightning. We are required to defeat the enemy at all costs and determine the rule of the Beijing government over Shandong. Jiang Baili said in a deep voice.
"Great! Commander, I am willing to be the vanguard and personally lead the troops to the front. Guo Shanhu stood up excitedly. In the past, as the commander of the entire military region, he basically stayed in the rear command to plan the entire strategy. But now that Jiang Baili is a famous marshal, Guo Shanhu can accept the command with confidence, so he is full of aggression.
"Mountain Tiger, your task this time is very serious. After my careful analysis, if we want to take the central Shandong region as quickly as possible and establish our domination over Shandong, we must send troops all the way into the southern Lunan region to block Xu Shuzheng's reinforcements. And in order to hide people's eyes, the number of this unit cannot be too much. And to move forward in a dispersed manner. I'm going to let you lead the most elite Fourth Brigade of the Southwestern Military District. Are you confident that you can complete this task? Jiang Baili said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Guo Shanhu said loudly.
Now Beiyang has concentrated more than 100,000 troops in the central Luzhong region, although the quality of these armies themselves is not good, but with Xu Shuzheng's 70,000 elite troops as spiritual backing, and Duan Qirui, the Beiyang bigwig, personally sitting on the front line to command, no one can guarantee what kind of combat effectiveness the Beiyang Army can play. Therefore, if Jiang Baili wants to completely collapse the Beiyang army in front of him, the first thing he must do is to cut off the hope in the heart of the Beiyang army. There is another point that Jiang Baili did not tell everyone, that is, Feng Yong's telegram told Jiang Baili that now the northeast is no longer able to send troops to fight in the pass, and the entire battlefield in the pass must also achieve a breakthrough in the shortest possible time. And quickly stabilize the front and put the war to an end. Because the situation in the Northeast is becoming more and more tense. The Japanese are already a little impatient.
Northeast, Marshal's Mansion.
"Commander, these are the photos taken by our people in the border villages, these Japanese troops who have infiltrated the territory of China have burned, killed and looted, and they are all evil, they are all beasts!" Jing Tong's eyes were a little red and said. I don't know if I'm tired or angry.
"These brutes!" Feng Yong's face was extremely gloomy. In my heart, I can't wait to immediately lead a large army to attack the Japanese and Korean troops, kill all the Japanese troops, and return blood for blood, tooth for tooth.
It turned out that a few days ago, several small units of the North Korean army crossed the border between North Korea and China and entered the territory of China. In a short period of time, several small villages on the border were washed in blood by the Japanese army, and hundreds of people in several villages were left alive. When local security forces arrived at the scene, all they saw were bloody corpses all over the ground.
"Order Lin Hu to exterminate these beasts in China at all costs." Feng Yong said cruelly. After committing crimes in China, these units are quickly fleeing to the national border in an attempt to escape into North Korea.
"Young marshal, what if the enemy crosses the border?" Jing Tong said with a red eye. You must know that the place where these Japanese committed crimes is not far from the border, and even if the Southeast Military Region dispatches a large army, it is still very likely that they will escape back to Korea.
"No matter where these brutes escape, the blood of the people of our Northeast cannot be shed in vain. Send a telegram to Lin Hu, dispatch a special team, and if the enemy escapes back to North Korea, infiltrate them as much as possible and kill them. We will sacrifice the human heads of these beasts to the souls of heaven who have died in vain. Feng Yong took a breath and said. Feng Yong knew what his behavior would cause, and he also admitted that this was the attack of his later generation's angry thoughts. But he couldn't control himself and didn't want to.
"Young Marshal, there is one more thing, our intelligence officers have discovered Japan's secret weapon in the Japanese and Korean Army." Jing Tong said with a solemn expression.
"Secret weapon?" Feng Yong was stunned. And then he said: "Tank or plane?" ”
"Tanks and planes are all there! Our people have seen the Japanese tank march from afar, and the huge iron box should be the latest tank that Japan has put into the army. Also, enemy biplanes also made an appearance. Jing Tong said with a worried expression.
"There's nothing to worry about, I had long expected tanks in Japan. After all, on the Western battlefield, tanks have been put into the war as a supplementary firepower for infantry, and they have achieved good results. In such a situation, an industrial country like Japan will certainly not be willing to be resigned, and it is not impossible to rely on Japan's industrial base to develop tanks. It's just that it's hard to say how the quality is! "Thinking of the bean chariot that little Japan can't handle in the future. Feng Yong was a little contemptuous. No matter how scarce Japan's steel resources are, it should not produce such defective products. If Japan had produced thickly armored high-performance tanks from the beginning, with the madness of Little Japan, I am afraid that the Japanese Kwantung Army would have sent troops to the Soviet Union on a large scale at that time.
"Young marshal, are we also going to use a secret weapon?" Jing Tong said.
"Not yet! Although the prototype of our tank has been built, the technology is still very immature. It is still in the experimental phase. It is dangerous to participate in real combat. Speaking of this, Feng Yong frowned unconsciously. The biggest drawback of Tohoku compared to Japan is that Tohoku lacks a comprehensive industrial base. It is extremely difficult to develop the defense industry on the basis of poverty and whiteness. If it weren't for Feng Yong's desperate predatory policy, I'm afraid that the defense enterprises in Northeast China would not have developed so fast at all.
"What about airplanes? The quality of our aircraft is no worse than that of Little Japan! Now Japanese tanks and aircraft have been put into the battlefield. Aren't we also investing in the same way to shorten the arms gap between the two sides? Jing Tong asked.
"The deterrent significance of aircraft is greater than actual combat, and although the performance of our aircraft is good, there is a lack of qualified flight troops. I believe that the situation in Japan is also like this, and our pilot school has only been established for a short time, so how can qualified pilots be trained so easily. Therefore, if the Japanese start a war with us in the short term, I am ready to strengthen the firepower of the Southeast Military Region again. Especially the scale of heavy fire weapons! After seeing the high performance of tanks and aircraft, Feng Yong, who came from later generations, had a very intuitive understanding of firepower, what saturation strike, and key strikes. No matter how well the army is trained, under the blow of fire saturation, flesh and blood will be torn to shreds by flying shrapnel. Of course, inspired by the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in later generations, Feng Yong also attached great importance to the ideological insight of the army. The resilience of the People's Liberation Army is known all over the world.
