The news of the loss of Beizhen spread throughout the three eastern provinces as soon as possible. The faces of the forces in the northeast have changed greatly. Feng Yong urgently contacted the Fourth Brigade going south and ordered it to rush to Beizhen as soon as possible at all costs to find out the situation in Beizhen. When Beizhen was breached, Feng Delin lost the news, which made Feng Yong very worried.

Zhang Zuolin also urgently contacted Li Jinglin in Beizhen to confirm whether Feng Delin was arrested. For a time, Beizhen once again became the focus of attention of all parties.

When the news spread throughout the entire unit, the soldiers were excited, desperately rushed to the south, and broke through the enemy's two lines of defense in half an hour. In addition, after the fall of Beizhen, Tang Yulin's blocking task was completed, and the troops were no longer desperate to block it. The 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade of the 28th Division headed towards Beizhen at a very fast speed.

Mukden, Beidaying.

"What! Didn't catch! What does Li Jinglin eat! Li Jinglin was ordered to pursue the 28th Division at all costs, and to find Feng Delin's whereabouts before the reinforcements from the Public Security Corps arrived. "If you don't catch Feng Delin, it doesn't make the slightest sense to just take Beizhen. Beizhen was breached, and the remnants of the 28th Division were panicked like lost dogs, which was the best time to capture Feng Delin, and Zhang Zuolin certainly would not let go of this opportunity.

Fengtian Province, Benxi County.

Zhang Zuoxiang took the binoculars and looked at the rapidly approaching team in the distance, and said to the adjutant beside him with a somewhat solemn expression: "I see that Young Marshal Feng's team is neat and orderly, not like a rabble, tell all departments, be careful to defend, you must not underestimate them!" In fact, Zhang Zuoxiang's words are a bit redundant. You must know that what he commands is not the regular army of the 27th Division, but some improvised units of the security forces. Although Zhang Zuolin was strict in administering the army, the reserve troops and the regular troops were different in their mental consciousness. Although Feng Yong's team was formed for a short time, it was a regular army establishment recognized by the government of the Republic of China. It also dominates two-thirds of the territory of the three eastern provinces. Perhaps the security corps, which had not experienced any major wars, was not in the eyes of the regular army of the 27th Division. But for the temporary forces formed by the security regiments, the security corps absolutely needs them to take seriously.

"Commander! Why don't we set up our defensive positions in Benxi County! To defend outside the city, we need to build a defensive position, and we are at a loss! Zhang Zuoxiang's deputy didn't understand why Zhang Zuoxiang gave up Benxi County, a more favorable defensive place, and had to establish a defensive position outside.

"Stupid, Benxi is our foundation place, and if it is damaged, it doesn't need us to build it, and besides, our characters are blocking the enemy on the opposite side, what if we nest in the county seat and the enemy bypasses it?" It is unrealistic to defeat Feng Yong's security corps, but Zhang Zuoxiang still has some confidence in sniping them here. After all, he has a force of 10,000 security regiments in his hands. The training method of the 27th Division's security regiment is exactly the same as that of the regular army, except that the actual combat experience is not as good as that of the regular army, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is not much different from that of the regular army.

But when the battle began, Zhang Zuoxiang realized that he was wrong, the quality of his soldiers was good, but most of them were recruits who had never experienced the battle formation, and these soldiers were just farmers who farmed the land before they became soldiers, and they lacked the fierceness of bandits in their bones. Although the 2nd Brigade of the Public Security Corps they faced also lacked experience in large-scale battles, they often participated in small-scale battles. The border between Jilin and Korea is not very peaceful, and bandits in Korea and China often commit crimes across the border, and the Second Brigade of the Japanese troops cannot be provoked because of the order, but they will not be polite to those horse bandits who cross the border to plunder, and in the past few months, more than 2,000 horse bandits have died at the hands of the Third Brigade. In addition, the composition of the Second Brigade is basically composed of the elite of the Eagle Yang Army and the regular soldiers captured by Zhang Zuolin of the 27th Division, and its combat effectiveness is definitely much stronger than the troops improvised by these security regiments. There is also a big advantage of the 2nd Brigade, that is, the 2nd Brigade has heavy weapons. The Western Military Region was established, and Feng Yong drew heavy machine guns from various brigades to support the western region in an attempt to plot against the Mongolian steppe. The only unit that did not move was Lin Hu's Second Brigade. After all, the imaginary enemy of the 2nd Brigade was a powerful Japanese army. Although it is unlikely that the Japanese will invade China now, Feng Yong, who came from later generations, seriously lacks a sense of security for Japan, and Feng Yong will definitely not weaken the strength of the Second Brigade in addition to strengthening its strength in the front line of the confrontation between the two sides.

"Brigade commander, intelligence from the reconnaissance battalion. The enemy, numbering about 10,000 people, set up defensive positions outside the city. The leader of the troops is unknown. ”

When Lin Hu heard that the enemy was only more than 10,000 people, he was not deployed in the county seat, but outside the city, and it was obvious that he looked down on them.

"More than 10,000 people dare to fortify outside the city, these twenty-seventh divisions are really arrogant! The commissar ordered the artillery to cover the enemy's forward positions with fire, mobilize three regiments to prepare for the attack with all their might. ”

"Brigade commander, shall we test the enemy's firepower?" Political commissar Yan Lei was a little surprised that his brigade commander, who had always been cautious, would choose to attack.

"Humph! The makeshift patchwork of some security corps is not worthy of our attention. Besides, the young marshal said that this time he went south to let go of the fight, and he must play the prestige of our public security corps. He was reimbursed for all the ammunition! Lin Hu said lightly. Within the Public Security Corps, the authority of the political commissar is higher than that of the military commander in ordinary times, but when it comes to military matters, Feng Yong is generally in direct contact with the military commander. Many military aircraft are classified and even the commissar does not know. This is not because Feng Yong is not at ease with the political commissars of the brigades and does not let the political commissars know about military intelligence, but because he blindly commands in order to prevent the political commissars from knowing too much military information, which will have a bad influence on the military supervisors.

As for the enemy's blocking troops in front, the assassin had already received information, and it was Zhang Zuolin's security force that was transferred in order to block the advance of the public security corps. If the Second Brigade of these improvised patchwork troops still has to be restrained, then he Lin Hu doesn't have to mess around. Facing the powerful Japanese army every day really exercised Lin Hu's will.

Boom - the artillery regiment of the 2nd Brigade began to roar! The roar of mountain artillery and the explosion of shells plunged the local positions into a brief panic.

"Artillery! How could the enemy go south with artillery! Zhang Zuoxiang's face became extremely ugly. From the speed of the advance of the 2nd Brigade, he speculated that it was impossible for the enemy to carry heavy weapons such as mountain artillery. This is also the reason why he insisted on shooting his position outside the city, but he didn't expect Feng Yong's second brigade not only to take it, but also to be on a large scale. At least one regiment size. Although they are all relatively backward 80 mountain artillery guns in the West, they are still quite sharp against the security joint forces that lack heavy weapons. In addition, these artillery soldiers are basically recruits who have not experienced battle formations. There is a saying that veterans are afraid of machine guns, and recruits are afraid of artillery. Because the cannon puts too much pressure on the heart. That's why there will be riots on the enemy's battlefield.

Toot toot -- the sound of a loud military horn sounded, and tens of thousands of troops rushed to the enemy's position. The Second Brigade is quite proficient in infantry and artillery coordinated operations, and has been training infantry artillery to coordinate operations since the Second Brigade got this regiment-sized mountain artillery. Today's Zhang Zuoxiang is the first guest of the Second Brigade to open.

Da Da Da ...... The enemy's heavy machine guns began to fire, inflicting certain casualties on the 2nd Brigade. The enemy's heavy machine guns were killed by the mortars of the 2nd Brigade in a few minutes. The soldiers of the 2nd Brigade played with the mortars. Because of the reason of guarding the border passes, the 2nd Brigade had plenty of money to spend on training. Almost every day will maintain a certain intensity of training, since the completion of the Woniu Mountain Arsenal, Feng Yong is also extremely supportive of the Second Brigade, and the soldiers are trained with live ammunition. This is also something that cannot be helped, good soldiers are fed with bullets. Fortunately, Feng Yong's troops continued to seize it, coupled with the full efforts of the arsenal to rush to work, so that the entire system of the public security corps was still running smoothly. And mortars, as a supplement to artillery firepower, are definitely a weapon for attacking fortifications because of their convenience and portability. With the current technology of the soldiers of the 2nd Brigade, as long as the enemy's heavy machine guns come up, they will immediately be attacked by mortars.

"Commander! The enemy has broken through the first line of defense! ”

"Commander, the enemy has broken through the second line of defense!"

In just a dozen minutes, the Second Brigade successively broke through the two lines of defense laid by Zhang Zuoxiang. Tear a hole in Zhang Zuoxiang's seemingly perfect defensive line.

"Commander! We can't stop them, let's retreat to the county seat! Relying on the county seat to have a chance! Zhang Zuoxiang's deputy's voice trembled a little. Before he served as Zhang Zuoxiang's deputy, he was only the head of the Benxi County Security Regiment, and now although he has tens of thousands of troops under his command, they can only become the target of the enemy without heavy weapons. Looking at the rapidly advancing 2nd Brigade, the deputy suddenly thought of the Russo-Japanese War more than ten years ago. The feeling of invincibility came back to my heart.

"Shut up! If you don't stabilize the troops, what are you doing here! Zhang Zuoxiang reprimanded. Now that the enemy is advancing strongly, they will have the possibility of retreating only if they block this attack. Now issuing an order to retreat will only collapse the entire battlefield. Zhang Zuoxiang felt unbelievable, was the unit in front of him really formed less than half a year after it was formed, and the soldiers were basically formed by absorbing the prisoners among the bandits? How did he feel that the enemy in front of him was stronger than the most elite brigade of the 27th Division. Powerful firepower, fierce soldiers who are not afraid of death. If Feng Yong's troops all have the combat effectiveness of the troops in front of them, don't talk about themselves, how long can the 27th Division hold out? Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly felt at this moment that his handsome man seemed to have ignored a very important issue.

Everyone saw Feng Yong's youth, and saw the youth of the Security Corps. But this youth disguised the strong combat effectiveness of this young unit. Only when you face them in person can you discover how powerful they are.

Seeing that the troops broke through two lines of defense one after another, the enemy's resistance decreased a lot. Lin Hu was overjoyed, although the enemy was a little weak, but after all, there were tens of thousands of people, and he was the first powerful opponent since the Second Brigade entered Feng, and he was still very excited to be able to eliminate the enemy cleanly. So far, although the Second Brigade is one of the most powerful units equipped with firepower in the Public Security Corps, it has not achieved many combat exploits. Going south to Fengfeng was an excellent opportunity to earn military merits. Feng Yong's public security corps still has a heavy reward for military merits. And if he didn't have military merits in Lin Hu's position, he would gradually be ignored in front of the young marshal. As Feng Yong's strength became stronger and stronger, the development of the Jilin Provincial Government attracted a large number of talents from all over the country, and there were more and more talented people in the public security corps. If he hadn't followed the young marshal early, I'm afraid he would be nothing with his age and ability.

Lin Hu, who has received traditional education since childhood, understands. In the eyes of those in power, competence is more important than qualifications. has qualifications but no ability, and in the end can only stand aside, which Lin Hu is absolutely unwilling. Therefore, during his stay in the southeast of Jidong, in addition to dealing with military affairs, Lin Hu read and studied Western military works independently. I can't say that I keep pace with the times, but my vision has improved a lot.

Now he desperately needs a big fight to prove himself. And their defense zone was facing the Japanese army in Korea. Starting a war with the Japanese, Lin Hu has not thought about it at the moment. So he attaches great importance to going south this time. The cavalry regiment was used as a baggage brigade, and the cavalry regiment was assigned to the artillery regiment. Otherwise, the Second Brigade would not have been able to advance so fast with artillery.

The decline in the enemy's resistance indicates that the enemy's determination to resist has been shaken. Although the enemy is composed of local security regiments, after all, they have received modern military training and will not collapse as easily as bandits, so as soon as the enemy shows signs of instability, Lin Hu immediately throws all the remaining troops into the Dao attack to expand the results.

The army of more than 20,000 people pressed on the whole line, and the mountain artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns attacked fiercely, completely defeating the enemy's determination to resist. At the beginning of a security battalion commander taking the lead in retreating, Zhang Zuoxiang's entire defense line began to collapse.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the enemy's retreat made the attack of the Second Brigade even sharper, and you must know that the Sun Tzu who fled in front of him was a military merit. In the security corps, military merit can not only be promoted, but also exchanged for property. So for the soldiers of the 2nd Brigade, the fleeing enemy is the real money with long legs. Of course, I tried my best to catch up.

Although the attack of the 2nd Brigade was fierce, some of the soldiers of the Security Regiment fled back to Benxi County. The soldiers of the Second Brigade rushed to the county seat and reluctantly stopped. After all, in the face of high walls, it is difficult for infantry to attack.

"Commissar, let people shout to them, surrender, and guarantee their lives. If you resist to the end, you will resolutely eliminate it. Transfer the artillery regiment up, if you don't surrender, Lao Tzu will fuck it! Lin Hu said excitedly. Now that the overall situation has been decided, the remaining small number of enemies will have no chance to turn the tables even if they are nested in the county seat. That's why Lin Hu has this arrogance. Under the threat of the cannons of the Black Hole Cave, the white flag of surrender fluttered over the county seat of Benxi County. Zhang Zuoxiang took the remnants of the soldiers and became prisoners of the Second Brigade.

At the same time, the county town of Fushun was also breached by the dense mortars of the 6th Brigade. The soldiers of the 6th Brigade rushed into the county seat, and the soldiers in the city surrendered after less than half an hour of resistance. Relying on their strong combat effectiveness, the two brigades of the Public Security Corps took the two larger county towns of Fengtian in a very short period of time, and even annihilated all the defenders. These two battles also allowed the forces of all parties in the northeast to see the combat effectiveness of the public security corps. It was also these two battles that made the Northeast Haoqiang no longer dare to look at the Public Security Corps as a local force. Young Marshal Feng's prestige soared again.
