Mukden, Beidaying.

"What! Benxi and Fushun were breached at the same time! What about the auxiliary pillow and Xu Wu (Zhang Jinghui)? Where are they? ”

"The two generals have been captured!" The herald said cautiously.

"What? Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Zhang Zuolin couldn't help scolding. The originally good form was reversed because of the losses of Benxi and Fushun. You must know that Benxi and Fushun are the gateways of the provincial capital of Fengtian, and Feng Yong's people can take these two county seats, and they can drive straight into and directly attack Zhang Zuolin's headquarters. At this time, the strength of Fengtian City was very empty, and the wars of all sides almost drained the defense of the provincial capital.

"Did you ever fight? I don't believe that Feng Yong's troops have such strong combat effectiveness! Zhang Zuolin couldn't believe it, after all, the elite security forces of nearly 20,000 people in the two counties could not be eliminated so simply.

"Report to the marshal, no, the telegram of the fall of Benxi was sent before General Zhang Zuoxiang was captured. General Zhang's telegram only said that the troops they were facing were very strong, not weaker than the elite of the 27th Division, but the specific battle situation was not described. Now that Benxi has lost contact, it is expected that General Zhang should be captured. ”

Zhang Zuolin's expression was gloomy, and he waved his hand to let the herald go down. He is a dignified lieutenant general and commander of the 27th Division of the Republic of China, so he can't get angry with a small soldier!

"Marshal, if Feng Yong's troops are really so strong, then our Fengtian will be in danger. Is it to transfer General Tang's headquarters or General Li's headquarters back to guard the safety of Mukden. Que Chaoxi, the new chief of staff of the 27th Division, said. In the original time and space, Que Chaoxi was just a small person in the 27th Division. But in this time and space, because of the attack of Feng Yong's public security corps, Zhang Zuoxiang, the chief of staff of the 27th Division, was released to supervise the army, and Zhang Zuolin promoted this smart junior of the Que family to serve as the temporary chief of staff. Assist yourself in commanding the battle in Mukden Province.

Zhang Zuolin thought for a while and said, "Transfer the minister's troops back!" Now the 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade of the 28th Division are rushing to Beizhen to aid Feng Delin, and the team of the cabinet ministers following behind will not be effective. Convey my order and ask the cabinet ministers to send a regiment of troops to monitor the movements of the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the 28th Division, and keep abreast of their itinerary at all times. Other troops returned to Mukden. Judging from the direction of Feng Yong's troops, he wants to fight with us in Mukden.

"Have Feng Yong's troops found out?"

"Yes, Marshal, according to our intelligence. Feng Yong sent a total of three brigades south this time, each with a scale of at least 20,000 people. They were their 2nd, 4th and 6th brigades. Among them, it was Feng Yong's second brigade that attacked our Benxi, and it was the sixth brigade that attacked Fushun. The movement of the 4th Brigade in Feng Delin's defense area is currently unknown. ”

"Six Brigades? Feng Yong actually had six brigades in his hands, and if each brigade was 20,000 people, he would have at least 120,000 troops in his hands! How can it be! In less than a year, he actually raised a force of more than 100,000 people, how did they feed the troops? Zhang Zuolin said in horror. You must know that he Zhang Dashuai has been operating in Fengtian for more than ten years and has controlled a lot of resources, so he can only feed an army of less than 100,000 people. Feng Yong, a minor boy, easily pulled up an army of more than 100,000 people, which made Zhang Zuolin feel unimaginable.

"Major Marshal Feng's troops are very mysterious, and we don't know the specific situation, but the information sent back by our intelligence department knows that the public security corps has built a lot of army farms on the plains of Jilin Province. The food produced in it was supplied to the troops. Moreover, all the land in Jilin and Heilongjiang belongs to the government, and the people only need to pay 20% of the rent to the government, and the rest is their own. Jilin Province has a large plain, and as the population grows, it is still no problem for Feng Shaoshuai to obtain food to feed an army of more than 100,000 people. Que Chaoxi said with a sigh. What is a masterpiece, this is, looking at Feng Shaoshuai's achievements in the past year, looking at himself, he always feels that his age has lived to a dog.

"Feng Yong's land government all policies!" Zhang Zuolin said gloomily. Originally, he scoffed at the land policy introduced by the Feng Yong provincial government. Zhang Zuolin, who has been up and down in officialdom for many years, is well aware of the current situation in China, although the government of the Republic of China has unified the country on the surface, but in fact, the real power in all parts of the country is in the hands of the local overseers, and the supporters of the overseers are those big landlords or big families. They generally occupy large tracts of land as foundations. Feng Yong's policy is to cut off the back road of these big landlords, and it will definitely be frantically resisted by the landlord class. How great is the power of the landlord class, although Zhang Zuolin has not seen it, but he definitely can't be low-grade. Regarding Feng Yong's policy, Zhang Zuolin only thought that he was young and frivolous and ignorant and made a self-digging grave.

But now it seems that this policy of Feng Shaoshuai not only did not destroy his own power, but on the contrary, he obtained huge benefits, and made the Jilin provincial government extremely rich. It further stimulated the expansion of Feng Yong's strength.

"How's the situation in Northtown? Hasn't there been news from Jinglin yet? Zhang Zuolin's expression gradually became gloomy. The good situation in Beizhen was gradually lost because Feng Delin was not captured.

"No, General Li has sent information that the general has found the Feng family. Now we're in our hands! Que Chaoxi said.

"What! Who asked him to arrest the Feng family? Put it on me right away! Zhang Zuolin was furious. Not to mention that the two sides will not hurt their families if they fight, the relationship between the Feng family and his Zhang family alone cannot move the Feng family. After all, the Feng family and the Zhang family are in-laws, and Zhang Dashuai himself is Feng Yong's old Taishan, what is the matter of capturing the Feng family.

Seeing that Zhang Zuolin was really angry, Que Chaoxi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Li Jinglin.

Fifty miles west of Beizhen, a group of embarrassed soldiers walked quickly, and a veteran in his fifties wearing the uniform of a Republic of China general in the center of the team looked hurried.

"Handsome! We're almost fifty miles away from Beizhen! Zhang Zuolin's people shouldn't be able to catch up! Wang Jigang said with a pale face. First he was injured, then he fled, making him a little weak.

Feng Delin nodded, his body shook and almost fell. This frightened Wang Jigang a lot. Hurry up and hold him.

"Dashuai...... Dashuai, are you injured? Wang Jigang's face changed in fright.

"It's okay, just like you, I was bitten by a bullet in the arm." Feng Delin said indifferently. When retreating just now, Li Jinglin's troops pursued very tightly, and the originally orderly troops also became chaotic, and it was at that time that Feng Delin was hit in the arm. Fortunately, he used the bandage he carried with him to stop the bleeding, and then gathered a part of the guards and escaped from Li Jinglin's pursuit.

"Dashuai, what should we do now?" Wang Jigang also didn't pay attention to it, the original plan was to go to Fuxin to organize forces to block the enemy again, but now the troops have been scattered. Fuxin County is definitely also the focus of the enemy's attention, and going there is nothing more than throwing yourself into a trap.

"Don't worry, let's find a place to settle down first. It's best to get in touch with Yong'er. We only have these few hundred people left, and there is a shortage of ammunition, it is not realistic to go north or south, Li Jinglin will definitely arrange heavy troops on the way north. We used to be dangerous. Now the cavalry unit of the 4th Brigade of Yong'er should be coming soon! Let's see if we can get in touch with them. ”

Wang Jigang nodded, this escape has been going on for almost an hour, and according to the time calculation, Feng Yong's cavalry is almost in the Beizhen area!

After taking Beizhen, Li Jinglin set up his headquarters here, and even sent troops to take over the entire civilian area. When Feng Delin could not be found, Li Jinglin ordered the troops to surround the Feng family's station as soon as possible. In the name of searching for Feng Delin, everyone in the Feng family was arrested. In the face of the wolf-like soldiers of the 27th Division, Madame Feng was extremely calm and ordered everyone in the Feng Mansion not to resist. If Zhang Zuolin's telegram hadn't come in time, I'm afraid that the Feng family would have been thrown into prison by Li Jinglin.

In the face of Zhang Zuolin's harshly worded telegram, Li Jinglin put the Feng family back in a gloomy manner. At this time, the news of the annihilation of the 20,000 people who blocked Feng Yong's public security corps was received. Li Jinglin, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, also felt a chill in his back.

Originally, he took Beizhen, and he thought that the 27th Division had gained the upper hand. But now that Feng Delin was not captured, Feng Yong's troops were about to besiege the provincial capital of Fengtian. Staying here by yourself has become redundant. Now the situation in Mukden has become even more confusing. Feng Yong's security corps showed strong combat effectiveness, which undoubtedly cast a weighty bargaining chip for the Feng family.

"Commander! Commander! Cavalry, the enemy's cavalry! The herald rushed into the Northtown headquarters in a hurry.

"So fast?" Li Jinglin was stunned, according to his expectations, Feng Yong's cavalry would take at least more than half an hour to feel it, but he didn't expect it to be so much in advance.

"Commander, one of our battalions searching for Feng Delin encountered a large pair of enemy cavalry, and the whole army was wiped out!"

"What!" Li Jinglin's face changed greatly. His troops patronized and searched for Feng Delin, and the troops were scattered outside the city, and whether they were followed by heavy weapons or not, they were easy targets for cavalry.

"Order the troops to stop the search and assemble towards Northtown!" The damage to Li Jinglin in Beizhen was also great. Even with the help of artillery, the losses of Li were about 20,000 people. Now his entire army has less than 30,000 men. It is not possible to have an absolute advantage over the situation.

Outside Beizhen, piles of soldiers quickly assembled towards the county seat. Ten miles from Beizhen, the cavalry of the brigade roared and rushed towards the infantry of several hundred people. This group of soldiers was sent by Li Jinglin to search for Feng Delin. In the face of thousands of cavalry, a few hundred infantry is not enough. I can't fight and fight, I can't escape and I can't escape, so I can only surrender.

"Collect the guns and leave a squad to watch over the prisoners!" The cavalry commander commanded loudly, pulled the horse rope, and quickly attacked forward.

This is a good opportunity, the enemy is divided into battalions, and it is not an opponent of the cavalry at all, and it is a good time to weaken the enemy's strength when the cavalry is either killed or surrendered.

The cavalry of the brigade swept through the periphery of Beizhen, and the attack and defense changed instantly. At the headquarters of Beizhen, Li Jinglin almost lifted the table in anger, and in just half an hour, there were already four or five battalions that had been poisoned by the enemy cavalry. There was also a battalion to escort prisoners of the 28th Division. More than 2,000 prisoners of the 28th Division were rescued by the cavalry regiment.

The 28th Division collapsed, and Li Jinglin's division captured more than 10,000 people, all of whom were imprisoned in the civilian area of Beizhen! The current Li Jinglin also has no time to deal with these captive soldiers.

The cavalry came and went like the wind, and Li Jinglin's troops were not able to go out of the city to rescue, after all, his troops were very small except for infantry and artillery. It simply could not be an opponent of the 4th Brigade Cavalry Regiment.

"Send a report to the big handsome! Enemy cavalry appears in North Town! Our unit was attacked and is currently losing a regiment of troops. Li Jinglin was not too worried about the safety of Beizhen, after all, the cavalry was not good at attacking the city. Although Li Jinglin's troops did not have highly mobile troops, they had a lot of heavy machine guns. After all, the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade belonged to the most elite units of the 27th Division, and each of the two brigades had a heavy machine gun regiment, and the total number of heavy machine guns exceeded 250. In the face of these sharp weapons, the enemy cavalry would definitely not dare to attack the city.

Outside the city of Northtown, the cavalry headquarters.

"Regiment Commander, at present, we have gathered more than 5,000 troops from the 28th Division, and according to their intelligence, Feng Dashuai has not been captured by the enemy at present. It is believed that they have escaped from this area. Do you want to send a report to the young marshal and tell me about the situation here? Ji Bin, political commissar of the cavalry regiment, asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, order the troops to disperse and search in all directions, be sure to find the whereabouts of Feng Dashuai!" After hearing that Feng Delin was not arrested, Lei Ming breathed a sigh of relief. With his own cavalry, it is unrealistic to recapture Beizhen, but it is still certain to protect Feng Dashuai's safety.

"The first battalion of cavalry was transferred to guard the situation in North Town. Prevent possible attacks by Li Jinglin's troops. The second battalion was responsible for searching for Feng Dashuai's whereabouts. The third battalion formed a blocking position. The brigade headquarters is coming, and the camp needs to rest. Lei Ming instructed carefully. He was originally from an infantry background, and he was the first person to follow Feng Yong. When the Fourth Brigade formed a cavalry unit, he was appointed as the commander of the Fourth Brigade Cavalry Regiment.

"Commander, the enemy has built a defensive position five miles outside the city." The scouts of Li Jinglin's department came to report.

Li Jinglin nodded, but did not issue an order to attack out of the city. The cavalry was too mobile, and it was difficult for his men to damage the cavalry, and the capture of Beizhen was much smaller than expected. The North Town arsenal was blown up on the eve of Feng Delin's retreat. The civilian areas of Beizhen are not allowed to be looted, and the baggage team from Mukden is still on the way. Now Li Jinglin has three artillery regiments in his hands. The ammunition needed is terrifying. In the first battle of Beizhen, Feng Delin's 28th Division collapsed, and Li Jinglin's troops were also under great pressure. The battle damage ratio reached two-fifths, and it was already broken.

"Commander! Fengtian urgent! The staff officer of the Confidential Section quickly sent the telegram in his hand to Li Jinglin's hands.

"The public security corps stormed Fengtian City, and the 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade of the 28th Division were also on the way south, ordering your troops to hold Beizhen. Defend carefully. Li Jinglin sighed, it seems that the future direction of Fengtian depends on the battle of Fengtian City.
