After begging for three days at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Dalian, Yu Hanchong, the liaison officer of the Feng Army, finally received a reply from the Japanese Kwantung Army, saying that he would send troops to assist Zhang Zuolin.

However, as soon as the Japanese Kwantung Army made a decision to support Zhang Zuolin in the morning, the intelligence department of the Japanese Kwantung Army received heavy news that the three mixed brigades of the Gai Tianjiu Division, which had been stationed in the Butha Prefecture of the Great Khing'an Mountains region, had moved south into the Horqin grassland, forcing the king of Horqin to declare the independence of the northern Liaobei region from Mukden Province and join the Heiji coalition government. Immediately, Meng Enyuan, the governor of Heiji Province, allowed the three banners of the Horqin Right Wing of the Zhelimu League on the Horqin Grassland, including the entire northern Liaohe region, with the West Liao River as the boundary, and established Zhelimu Prefecture. At the invitation of Wang Maoru, King Horqin sent 2,000 cavalry to coordinate with the Fifth Division to the south and rushed to Siping Mansion.

The Intelligence Analysis Section of the Japanese Kwantung Army immediately stopped the telegram of support for Zhang Zuolin, and Yu Hanchong had just sent a telegram to Zhang Zuolin in the morning saying that the Japanese were ready to support, although Zhang Zuolin had not slept well for a few days because of the unfavorable fighting on the front line in the past few days, and had just slept peacefully after receiving the telegram, and the Japanese said to Han Chong that they hoped that General Zhang would go to the field and let peace be restored to the Northeast as soon as possible. Yu Han was so angry that his face turned green, and after Zhang Zuolin learned the news, he often sighed and said to his subordinates: "Ten thousand people beat the drum." ”

In the cold winter wind, the black military coat of the Heiji army was like a dense locust heading towards Shenyang City, the Japanese weighed the pros and cons at this time and abandoned Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to order the front line to withdraw all the troops, concentrate troops under the city of Shenyang, and prepare to let go of a fight to the death.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Lay down the city of Shenyang. We are the king of the Northeast! A cry of screams seemed to be impossible to penetrate in this winter day, but the fiery enthusiasm of the soldiers could not be stopped, and their faces were full of the joy of the victors.

Groups of Fengjun soldiers in yellow uniforms and dogskin hats walked north with their heads tied to ropes, and they were prisoners of the Feng army, about 3,000 people, most of whom were the rout of the 28th Division. was wrapped in dumplings by the cavalry, which naturally included the twenty-eighth division commander Zhang Haipeng.

"Eh, I'll go, that's the division commander of the Feng army. It's not a good idea. The commander of a company of the Heiji Army, carrying a saber, said proudly.

"Haha, you don't know, I heard my buddy in the Ninth Division. When he was caught, the kid was still sleeping with three old ladies. Another company commander, who was also crossing the knife, leaned over and said.

"His grandmother's, three old ladies? Is he good? "Take a closer look, this Zhang Haipeng is really sturdy and has a big skeleton, but now he has an unlucky face and is still carrying pants, which is not miserable in the cold wind.

"Why do you have this virtue, you don't look like a teacher at all." The first company commander sneered, and when he saw that a Fengjun corpse on the ground had not been collected, he shouted at Zhang Haipeng, "Hey. Master Zhang, stop. ”

Zhang Haipeng was excited, immediately stopped, and hurriedly said: "The boss spares his life, the boss spares his life." ”

"Come here."

Zhang Haipeng had no choice but to come over obediently with his pants. provoked a burst of laughter from the surrounding Heiji army, and the company commander took off his belt from the corpse and handed it to Zhang Haipeng, saying, "Put it on, our second division didn't abuse you." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, boss, thank you, boss." Zhang Haipeng's thank you is not a hypocrisy. He was from the bottom of his heart, he was so cold that he was going to die on the way, he had to carry his pants, his hands were frozen stiff, and the soldiers around him didn't recognize him as a division commander anymore, and they glared at him one by one. Zhang Haipeng knew that he was guilty, and if he achieved this virtue, it was good that he was not picked up behind his back.

After receiving the news of the support of the Yi Army, Wang Maoru frowned and asked Guo Songling how to arrange it, and Guo Songling asked the 2nd or 9th Division, which had already arrived in Faku County, Fengtian Province, to directly attack Zhangwu County to the west. Zhangwu County is adjacent to Rehe Fuxin, so Jiang Guidi can be forced to give up support. Wang Maoru immediately ordered the 9th Division of the 1st Route to capture Zhangwu County in Fengtian, the 2nd Division to capture Xinmin County, while the 4th Division of the 2nd Route to capture Tieling County, the 8th Division to capture Fushun County, and the 11th Division of the 10th Division to directly attack the surrounding areas of Shenyang County, completely besieging the main force of the Feng army in Shenyang City.

Then Wang Maoru no longer sat in Changchun to command, and personally led the 50,000 troops of the Fifth Division and the Seventh Division to arrive at the city of Shenyang, and then the troops shrank, making the city of Shenyang impassable. In order to break this siege, Zhang Zuolin asked Ma Longtan, the commander of Liaodong Town, to lead the 20th Battalion Patrol Battalion stationed in Liaodong to defend against the Japanese Kwantung Army.

The patrol battalion of the 20th Battalion of Liaodong in Malongtan then fought a big battle with Gao Shibin of the 7th Division of the Heiji Army in Liaoyang County, and Gao Fengcheng, the commander of the 19th Brigade under Gao Shibin, rushed forward rashly, and was ambushed by Ma Longtan, and the soldiers were lost. Gao Shibin then sent Cheng Ming's 21st Brigade to rescue Gao Fengcheng, and after his death, Dai Zhangxun, chief of staff of the 7th Division, went to the front line to collect the soldiers of the 19th Brigade and rebuild morale.

Most of Ma Longtan's soldiers were born bandits, and when they encountered Gao Fengcheng, which rashly broke through, it was okay to set up an ambush, but it was really not good to fight with Cheng Ming, especially when Gao Shibin, the commander of the seventh division of the Heiji Army, led the reorganized 19th Brigade and Lu Yonggui's 20th Brigade to flank left and right, so he had to evacuate Liaoyang County in a hurry.

And when Yuan Jinkai faced Wang Maoru for the second time, he didn't know what to say.

The front line of the Feng army was routed, and only half of the 50,000 horses ran to Shenyang, Zhang Haipeng, the commander of the 28th Division of the Feng Army, was captured, and Tang Yulin, the commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Feng Army, was cut in the back by the Cossack cavalry of the 10th White Russian Division of the Heiji Army.

Zhang Zuolin suddenly aged ten years old, and the Feng army was besieged in the city of Shenyang, and he had no capital. When he saw Wang Maoru this time, Yuan Jinkai just begged: "For the sake of the face of the four eastern provinces, please follow the first article." ”

Wang Maoru scratched the itchy part of his face and asked, "What is the first one?" ”

Yuan Jinkai's face turned pale, and Guo Songling took the opportunity to say: "Now that Liaobei and Liaodong have been occupied, the first article no longer exists, right?" ”

Wang Maoru said: "Sixth Master, what do I mean by Brother Yuting?" ”

"Does it matter what he means?" Yuan Jinkai smiled bitterly, "Isn't Xiu Shuai planning to be ruthless and leave no way back?" That Yu Shuai could only fish and die, and the net was broken. ”

Guo Songling laughed and said, "The fish is dead and the net is broken? Jokes, who doesn't know how many catties and taels of the Feng army is, how can it be called a fish dead net, now you guess 40,000 people, our army 150,000 horses, follow-up reinforcements continue to be transported by rail, and the fish die and the net is broken? I'm afraid it's not that simple, at most it's a dying struggle. ”

The more Yuan Jinkai looked at Guo Songling, the more angry he became, this kid was as cunning and difficult as a devil, especially when he looked down on people, so he said: "My 100,000 Fengjun is not muddy!" It is not certain who will kill the deer. ”

Guo Songling sneered and said, "100,000 Fengjun, 100,000 ......"

Wang Maoru waved his hand and stopped Guo Songling's words, everyone looked at him, Wang Maoru said: "Fengjun's combat effectiveness is good, my eldest brother Yuting has a good way to lead the troops, and the emperor has a skill, but the time is also fateful and lucky." In this way, I am still the same Jianyì, let him go to the Central Plains, let his Feng army enter the customs, and I fully support him. I also agree that the Northeast people don't fight the Northeast people, you sue me Brother Yuting, he is a hero, but the dragon is sleepy and shallow. I let him go to the Central Plains to fight, the Central Plains war, how can we lose the share of our Northeast people. I can make Meng Enyuan the governor of the capital at my head, and I can make your marshal the deputy commander-in-chief, and his soldiers are still his soldiers, and I will give him the establishment of three divisions and join the Heiji coalition army. ”

Guo Songling hurriedly dissuaded: "Dashuai, you can't do this, you can't do this, now it's about to be a decisive battle." The soldiers have already come to the city, three days, as long as it takes three days, Shenyang City can definitely be defeated. ”

Other officers also hurriedly said: "Xiu Shuai, let the tiger return to the mountain and leave trouble!" ”

Wang Maoru stopped them and said to Yuan Jinkai: "If the Feng army accepts to join the Heiji coalition army, then we will not call it the Northeast Army." He drew a big circle with his hand and said with a smile: "I want a big Northeast, a big Northeast." "Later, Yuan Jinkai was grinding and soaking, emotional cards and death cards...... But there is nothing to be done, and in the face of absolute strength, Feng Jun can only resist hard. Yuan Liuye finally returned to Shenyang and discussed with Zhang Zuolin about the method.

It was only then that Wang Maoru learned that Zhang Zuolin was furious and resolutely disagreed.

Since you don't agree, there's no choice but to fight, fight.

The Heiji Army now gathered more than 70,000 people in Shenyang City, including the Fourth Division, the Fifth Division, the Eighth Division, the Tenth Division, and the Eleventh Cavalry Division, and then the Second Division and the Ninth Division defeated the Rehe Yi Army reinforcements and moved closer to Shenyang, and the troops gathered under the city of Shenyang amounted to more than 100,000 people.

Zhang Zuolin issued an order to defend the city of Shenyang, and temporarily captured troops in Shenyang to expand the number of Fengjun soldiers, and soon the replenishment of various departments was completed, but the morale was low, and deserters appeared day and night. The gendarmerie could not catch any deserters in a day, which shows that the morale of the Fengjun army was low at this time.

Fengtian supervised the military mansion, Zhang Zuolin sighed, and asked all the officers to go back to the army separately, he had to think about it alone. After the generals left, Zhang Zuolin lay directly on the bench. The flame in the stove next to him gradually became a little smaller, he walked to the stove, opened the stove lid with a stove hook, added a few pieces of honeycomb coal, and suddenly thought that this honeycomb coal was still pulled from Wang Maoru's Heiji, and this breathlessness in his heart was pulled to Wang Maoru again. This little brother, now he has to do it.

Prices are soaring in the city of Shenyang, and just such a piece of honeycomb coal has risen to two cents, and usually this piece is only five cents, an increase of four times. Zhang Zuolin was born in hardship, raised horses since he was a child, and naturally often came into contact with the people, and he also liked to wear civilian clothes and micro-clothes for private visits. It was only later that he was assassinated by the Japanese two or three times, and he no longer served private visits. But he understands the sufferings of the people and governs Fengtian in an orderly manner. Under his leadership, the population of Fengtian increased by two million in five years, and although it was not as crazy as Heilongjiang and Jilin, it also made many parts of Fengtian prosperous.

Just gave up Fengtian like this, Zhang Zuolin was really unwilling, he was very unwilling.
