Shandong, Dexian County.

A unit covered in gunpowder smoke strode into Dexian County to rest and recuperate. The first officer had a murderous face. The two-bar, four-star rank on the shoulder dazzled people's eyes. Ordinary people spontaneously welcomed on both sides of the street.

"Commander! I didn't expect these landlords to rebel and help us win over the hearts of the people! Xu Zheng's head of the guard regiment ** Dong said with a smile. It was an incomparable honor to sit in a high-headed horse and enter the city.

"The common people are not fools, they can tell who is good to them. Governor Liu's methods are very fast, and it is naturally extremely easy to win over the people's hearts and minds by distributing land to the landless people as soon as we extinguish the rebels. Xu Zheng said indifferently. This time it is difficult to say that it is difficult to crack down on bandits in Shandong, but in practice, it is relatively simple. After all, Deok County is geographically located on the edge of Zhili Province, and in Zhili Province, there is a large army of the Northern Military Region in the Gyeonggi region. Although the armed forces entangled by the local landlords were powerful, they were not as powerful as they imagined. A rebel army of several thousand people captured three county seats. Xu Zheng led the troops to recover them all within a few days. All the rebellious landlords were arrested. The landlords who resisted were all cut off their heads, and in order to make an example of them, the landlords led by the nine clans were exterminated, and the blood stained the three county seats. This kind of bloody slaughter without scruples completely deterred the rebels who were ready to move. There were even timid rebels who surrendered on their own initiative. For the rebels who surrendered, as long as they handed over the land and fines like the local government, Xu Zheng also let them go. After all, if you really want to kill them all, you can't complete it in a short time.

"Hey, hey! Commander, I heard that the grilled chicken in Dexian County is very famous, let's try it. And then have a good time in the county? Dong said with a smile.

"Of course, Dexian grilled chicken was a tribute during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. We should have tasted it here, but before we can taste it, we should hang all the heads of the people who have been cut off this time on the head of the city. Although we have eliminated the rebels, it does not mean that there are no forces in the local area that resist us. The necessary deterrence is still needed. Xu Zheng said with a smile.

The Northeast is now in full swing, and as a pilot for the young marshal in Shandong, Feng Yong gave him absolute support, and Xu Zheng naturally wanted to produce results as soon as possible. Recruit training doesn't happen overnight. But the rebellion in the province had to be resolved as soon as possible.

"Tell the fighters about the allowance of five oceans per person. You can rest assured to go to the county town to relax. But the soldiers must be told that they are not allowed to gamble, not to engage in prostitution, not to make trouble. Xu Zheng said with a smile. This operation not only solved the rebels, but also made Xu Zheng make a small fortune. Naturally, there is confidence for the fighters to relax and unwind.

"Yes!" Zhang Yadong assured loudly.

"Let's go to the arsenal. It is necessary to resume production as soon as possible! Xu Zheng said in a deep voice. Although he was leading the troops, he was always concerned about the war in the northeast. The high-intensity firepower competition between the two sides naturally dazzled those who paid attention. It is a pity that it is impossible for the most advanced equipment in the northeast to be equipped with their reserve military region in a short period of time. Moreover, the Shandong Military Region currently commands only the guard regiment in his hands and the 20th Brigade borrowed from the Southeast Military Region. As the war deepened, the Qingdao garrison Japanese army was ready to move, and Guo Shanhu was also a little anxious. The 20th Brigade may be transferred back to the Weifang area at any time to deploy the Japanese garrison in Qingdao. In this case, he would be able to use only 3,000 regular troops in the entire Shandong Province. As for the recruits in the boot training camps in various localities, the first batch has only been trained for less than a month, and they may not have mastered all the basics, and the results of their current combat use are not great. Coupled with the serious shortage of weapons and ammunition, Xu Zheng's idea of expanding the army could not be realized for the time being.

Of course, the Shandong Military Region is not without ways to raise the level of equipment. The Dexian Arsenal they are going to now is the foundation of whether or not the Shandong Military Region can realize the military system. As one of the three major arsenals of the Republic of China, even if the machinery is aging and the production capacity is declining, after transformation, there is no problem in supporting the light weapons and equipment of the Shandong Military Region.

Changchun, railway station.

A pair of SS soldiers sealed off the station completely. Look at the cold soldiers. Not a single ordinary man dared to approach. Now Changchun City is already full of legends about Feng Yong's newly formed army. The SS had never been on the battlefield, but no one wanted to see them at home in Changchun. Because as soon as the SS comes to the door, it means that they are going to be badly lucky.

A column of troops roared into the city of Changchun. A pair of neatly groomed soldiers came down from the train, and the scale looked very large.

"Report to Commander Cao, the young marshal has an order, let your troops go and receive weapons and ammunition as soon as possible. Then he left for the Southeast Military Region to report. Feng Yong's operational staff officer, Lieutenant Colonel Li Yang, said to Cao Zheng with Feng Yong's warrant.

"Got it! Thank you, Staff Officer Li. We will change clothes as quickly as possible. Does the young marshal have any other requirements? Cao Zheng, the commander of the Northwest Military Region, who was dressed in a military uniform and had a somewhat pale face, said.

"The young marshal said that the military situation on the front line is urgent, and I hope that Commander Cao can speed up as much as possible, and the young marshal has prepared fine wine in the young marshal's mansion and is waiting for the generals to triumph!" Li Yang said in a deep voice. Although he is only a small lieutenant colonel, he cannot be compared with a major general like Cao Zheng. But as Feng Yong's side, no one dares to underestimate him.

"Haha! A young marshal is a young marshal, always so confident! You give a message to the young marshal, if you can't win, I'll see you with Cao Zheng's head! Cao Zheng said with a smile. Feng Yong is still full of courage, and there is no problem of gain and loss due to the growth of power.

"Report to the commander, there is an urgent telegram from the headquarters of the Liaodong Theater." On the train, the telegraph operator of Cao Zheng's telegraph room quickly ran over and said.

Cao Zheng frowned, stretched out his hand, and took a look at the telegram and said: "Tell the ministries to quickly replace weapons and ammunition, and the military situation is urgent." ”

The decisive battle is imminent, and with Cao Zheng's new force, the Northeast Army's chances of victory have greatly increased. Therefore, when he received that Feng Yong had transferred an elite division of the Northwest Military Region to participate in the decisive battle between the Southeast Military Region and Little Japan, Jiang Baili was deciding how this unit could be used to achieve the greatest combat results. And the secret telegram just now is Jiang Baili's combat deployment, which includes the combat mission of Cao Zhengbu.

An hour later. A staff officer of a major of the Northwest Military Region ran over and said: "Report to the commander, the troops have been redressed, the army has boarded the car, and it is ready to leave at any time." ”

Cao Zheng did not hesitate at all, and shouted loudly: "Go!" ”

Toot!

Northeast Marshal's Mansion.

"Report to the young marshal, Commander Cao Zheng has already set off!" Li Yang came back and said loudly.

"Thank you! Find Jing Tong. I asked him something. "This time Cao Zheng rushed back from the northwest, and Feng Yong was originally going to meet him in person. But after receiving a secret telegram from Tokyo, Japan, Feng Yong canceled the trip. Even in order to keep it as secret as possible, Feng Yong did not let Cao Zheng come to the Young Marshal's Mansion to see him. The entire train station was cordoned off to ensure that the news was not leaked as much as possible. After all, after the start of the war, the military columns in the northeast have not stopped. There are those who transport supplies, there are those who transport the wounded, and of course there will be reinforcements. For this lifeline through the front line, the Northeast Army guarded it extremely strictly. And if Cao Zheng's new force can appear on the battlefield in the most secret form, it will be a huge support for the Northeast Army.

"Young marshal!" Jing Tong walked in, with a hint of nervousness on his face. As time went by, Feng Yong's momentum became more and more dignified. It made him feel terrified.

"How's it going?" Feng Yong asked indifferently.

"It's still investigating, and I haven't learned the situation of the latent elements in Japan's special high school yet!" Jing Tong lowered his head and said.

"Don't worry for the time being, Young Marshal Ben won't go out in the near future. Let your people check with peace of mind, no matter who is involved, check clearly. Feng Yong said in a deep voice. From the news obtained from Tokyo, Feng Yong could judge that there were still a lot of forces in the Northeast of the Special High School. There may even be Japanese lurking around him. In this case, Feng Yong can't be careless, after all, the Northeast is developing too rapidly, and the people around him have everything. In this case, many spies of hostile forces will lurk in. Although in the last hoeing operation, many spies from all sides were eliminated. But it is impossible to completely remove it. Now that he has received information that the Japanese special high school is going to assassinate him, Feng Yong is still quite nervous. After all, he is human, and he will die if he is hit by a bullet. Although his internal interest is growing rapidly, he is close to the edge of Xiaocheng. But after all, there is a lack of actual combat experience. The frequent battles made Feng Yong have no time to find someone to learn from and hone his martial arts. In this case, Feng Yong naturally had to be more careful.

The war between the Northeast and Japan has reached the most critical period, and if something happens to him, the Northeast will be in chaos, and then Japan can easily annex the three eastern provinces. This is something that Feng Yong cannot tolerate no matter what. Therefore, he would rather sacrifice his freedom for a period of time to ensure that the Northeast is in the best possible condition in this war.

"Yes!"

"Don't just keep an eye on these things. It is necessary to strengthen the layout of the whole country and the rest of the country. Modern warfare is information warfare. Whoever has the most advanced and accurate information will win. Feng Yong said in a deep voice. After the last purge, Jing Tong's performance made Feng Yong very dissatisfied. As the Minister of Intelligence in the Northeast, he made great contributions in the process of the establishment of the Ministry of Intelligence, and even the largest and most mysterious intelligence organization in the Northeast was born in his hands. Judging from his original achievements, Jing Tong is definitely a genius in intelligence. It's a pity that it is such a genius that Feng Yong values, after he became the Minister of Intelligence from dark to light, his performance in the face of the tests in all aspects of reality is very average. Especially in the face of pressure from the new aristocracy of the Northeast. It shows the weakness of Jing Tong's heart. It's just that as an old man in the Northeast and a hero in the Northeast, Feng Yong doesn't want to replace him like this. In essence, Feng Yong is still very nostalgic.
