Subsequently, Jiang Fangzhen ordered the 2nd, 8th, and 9th Divisions of the Northeast Frontier Army, the Northeast Navy, and the 3rd Brigade of the Fengtian Armed Police to form the Left Wing Corps of the Northeast Frontier Army, with Zhang Zengfu, commander of the 2nd Division, as the commander, to strictly guard the Shanhaiguan line.

After Gong Xiaoqi's Anhui army in Vladivostok returned to Shenyang, Jiang Fangzhen ordered the cancellation of the temporary formation of the Qinglong Army, but the Central Route Army of the Northeast Frontier Army was formed by Gong Xiaoqi's department, leading the fourth, seventeenth, and eighteenth divisions to be temporarily stationed in Shenyang to carry out the reorganization work such as changing equipment and weapons and officers. At the same time, he also sat in the central government to shock all sides, especially the Japanese, Wang Maoru was always worried that they would come to "918" once, and ordered Gong Xiaoqi to say that the army would wait for it, and the soldiers would not unload their armor, and if they encountered provocations, they would lose the prestige of the Chinese. The 17th and 18th Divisions, two newly built army divisions composed of former Anhui troops, were soon crammed into a large number of graduates of the Northeast Military Academy to serve as company-platoon-level officers. Soon, these two units were truly under the control of the General Staff of the Northeast Frontier Army. Although the Blue Dragon Legion had only been in existence for no more than two months, it sent a strong signal to all officers.

Gong Xiaoqi was excellent at this time, but this also caused a contradiction between Li Delin and him, laying the groundwork for the discord between the two in the future.

The war of Anhui and Hei was still very interesting to prepare, and the power was also very fierce, and all the people believed that the Anhui system would soon be seized by the Anhui system while Wang Maoru led the main army in the hinterland of Russia. Even Wu Peifu is ready to assemble troops, ready to take advantage of the Anhui system to enter the northeast and then pull the Anhui system's hind legs.

But the war is not like that, to be precise, it is a bit ridiculous, which fully conforms to the characteristics of slow preparation and fast fighting of the Republic of China War. Moreover, the electricity is flying all over the sky, and the Anhui warlords are energized several times a day, which is nothing more than urging the Northeast Army to repent. However, the flattering eyes were thrown to the blind man, and Wang Maoru strictly ordered the officers of all units not to fight with them, and it was useless to talk too much, and the bottom of the fists and feet would be high. As a result, the Anhui warlords called one by one. The Northeast Army did not respond at all, but the southernmost Nationalist Government instead sent a telegram to fight the Anhui system, and the southwestern warlords also supported the Northeast Army by telegram, completely with an attitude of not being afraid of big things. When the people read the newspapers, they even thought that there was another Northern Expedition. Why is the southern government quarreling with the central government again? But those who know the inside story know. The purpose of the southern government is to put the central government on the stove and see if you can fight the northeast.

There are many literati in the Anhui system, but a strong verbal battle does not mean that the battle is strong, and the mouth war of the Anhui system is very loud in the newspaper. Everyone thought that the Anhui system would definitely occupy the northeast within a day. It's a pity that the fight is not like that, but it makes people beat their heads and lose face.

First of all, the two mixed brigades of the former Rehe Armed Police Brigade led by Jiang Guidi cooperated with the three mixed brigades of Chahar Tanzhongyu, a total of five mixed brigades and 40,000 troops marched to the Horqin grassland. Among them, the forward consisted of two Rehe mixed brigades and one Chahar mixed brigade, and marched north into the steppe with high spirits. In the first battle, he encountered wolves, which frightened the wolves. After they drove away the wolves, when their morale was low, they encountered a severe blow from Mao Ziping's right-wing army, which had already sharpened their fists. Maybe God is not on the side of the Anhui system, Mao Ziping waited for the enemy to come on the left and the enemy to the right, but he got a news that he couldn't laugh or cry, the three mixed brigades of the Anhui department formed nearly 20,000 people, so that the wolf pack composed of more than 600 wolves was intercepted, and more than 100 soldiers were eaten.

Wait for Anhui to clear the wolf plague. When continuing to go north, Mao Ziping took the initiative to send cavalry to attack, harassing day and night, and the nerves of the original Anhui soldiers were already tense, and they were even more annoyed by Mao Ziping. Wait until the time of the day of engagement. The heavy artillery of the Northeast Army had just fired a few shots, and the mixed brigade of Rehe ran first, and the other surrendered directly, and tied up the brigade commander Zhang and surrendered on his own initiative.

The two mixed brigades of the Rehe Army were the first to be defeated. Chahar's Fourth Mixed Brigade suddenly fell into a state of confusion, should he leave or stay? Several brigade commanders totaled. Slowly retreat. However, it was easier said than it was to go, and Mao Ziping immediately sent people to pursue, so that the retreat of Chahar's three mixed brigades turned into a rout. Mao Ziping chased the Chahar Fourth Mixed Brigade south like a duck, and some thirty or forty soldiers of the Northeast Army took three or four hundred prisoners with guns, and even Mao Ziping himself did not expect to fight so far.

Jiang Guidi's troops were defeated after only three days of fighting, which is a bit of a comedy, he himself was being carried by several people carrying a sedan chair, and someone next to him was fanning a fan, which was called an expedition. When he learned of the defeat ahead, Jiang Guidi was angry and frightened, and fell directly from the sedan chair. He was so angry that he said to the palanquin bearer: "These people want to murder me, pull me down and kill me!" Several palanquin drivers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Jiang Gui said angrily to his guards: "What are you waiting for, pull it down and kill it!" The guards immediately pulled the sedan chair man down, and after four shots, the four sedan chair men were killed on the outskirts of Ningcheng County, which made Han Shuai angry.

"Who can resist it, who can resist it?" Jiang Guidi took a sip of tea and asked.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, there was no army around him except for the guards, who else could he shoot to resist, and no one could be worth ten thousand, so he hurriedly said: "Han Shuai (Jiang Gui inscription Han Qing), at this moment I have to turn to Shanshuai (Chahar Dutong Tanakayu), his four mixed brigades are long-fought divisions, and they will be able to stop." ”

"Hurry up and ask Shanshuai to come to the rescue." Jiang Gui was anxious.

After Mao Ziping won the first battle, he led the right-wing army to conquer Lubei County, Kailu County, Tianshan County, Lindong County, and Linxi County, and won six battles and six victories.

After receiving Jiang Guidi's request, Tanaka Yu left the 3rd Mixed Brigade to guard his home, and personally led the 1st Mixed Brigade and the 2nd Mixed Brigade of Chahar to the north to support the Yi Army, and the 1st Mixed Brigade prepared to directly cross the Xilin Gol grassland to attack Horqin, and then enter Heilongjiang Province, the hinterland of the Northeast Army. However, King Horqin and the leader of the Xilin Gol Alliance had already secretly connected up, and cooperated with Mao Ziping's army to eat their first mixed brigade first. Mao Ziping ordered the army to retreat, not to engage with Tanaka Yu's army, temporarily gave up the territory of occupying Rehe, quickly gathered forces and retreated, and suddenly appeared behind the 1st Chahar Mixed Brigade with the Mongol cavalry herdsmen militia.

The 1st Chahar Mixed Brigade was the most capable unit under Tanaka Yu, and despite being surrounded, it retreated to a mountain pack in spite of the danger, taking advantage of the favorable terrain to hinder the combined attack of the Northeast Army and the Mongol cavalry. This small hill is densely forested, and the cavalry can't go up at all, and the brigade commander threatened that you can bear with me?

Mao Ziping observed the terrain of Dizhou, and laughed: "In ancient times, Zhao Kuo and Ma Tan talked about soldiers on paper, but now you are waiting for death and not repenting. It turned out that he did not observe the water on the mountain, but only saw the water source in the distance, so he ordered the soldiers to hold the water source. Although there are abundant water and grass in the Horqin grassland, there are no rivers and streams flowing out of this hill, and Mao Ziping concluded that they can only grab water. So they made up their minds to ambush their water-taking army, but unexpectedly that the Chahar Third Mixed Brigade was trapped for three days but did not have to go down the mountain, Mao Ziping was in a hurry, didn't the Chahar army need to drink water?

Ask the villagers to know that there is a spring on this mountain called Wangfu Spring, according to legend, hundreds of years ago, a pair of men and women privately agreed for life, the man in order to earn a full dowry on the horse with a bow and arrow to go to the distance to hunt, the woman waited on the mountain every day, but waited for more than 20 years, the woman waited for the old, and finally got a news, the man fought with the tiger and died. The woman sat on the stone she sat on every day and wept and wept, and then her tears gathered into a small puddle. Unexpectedly, the small puddle began to make a splash, and the woman said that you would die and I would die, so she threw herself into the spring and committed suicide.

No wonder they weren't afraid of being trapped on the mountain, Mao Ziping nodded and said, "There is only one last way, burn the mountain." ”

Burning mountains is also a technical job, and now in autumn, the grass turns yellow, and once it burns, not only the mountains, but the entire grassland will be set on fire, and their own troops will also be burned to death. Therefore, Mao Ziping discussed with his subordinates that a lot of shallow trenches were dug around the mountain to ensure that a fire barrier was opened, and then the grass between the trenches was burned, so that a fire barrier about 20 meters wide appeared between the trenches.

At this time, after Tanaka Yu collected the Fourth Mixed Brigade, he led his second and fourth mixed brigades, Jiang Guidi recollected the temporary mixed brigade, and the first and second mixed brigades of the participating army sent by Xu Shuzheng to support, a total of five mixed brigades totaling more than 40,000 people, quickly rushed to recover the Rehe territory abandoned by Mao Ziping one after another.

However, the 1st Chahar Mixed Brigade, which was trapped in the mountain, did not know about it, and they saw that the other side was preparing to set fire to the mountain, so they had to come out and surrender in despair. However, Mao Ziping admired the brigade commander of this mixed brigade very much, and when asked about the brigade commander, everyone shook their heads and said that the brigade commander had already been scared away, and it was their deputy brigade commander who led the team -- after Mao Ziping brought the deputy brigade commander over, the deputy brigade commander immediately pretended to be crazy and stupid.

Mao Ziping said angrily: "You are the deputy brigade commander? Looking at your appearance, you are also worthy of being a deputy brigade commander? ”

The man smiled and said, "I'm not worthy, I'm so unworthy." ”

"What's your name?"

"My name is Sihaiwei."

Mao Zipingqi said: "What is your surname, your surname is Temple?" Does the family name have this surname? The adjutant immediately said: "Master, what about him teasing you, doesn't the four seas mean that the four seas are home?" Mao Ziping laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, play with me." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the boss is the biggest."

Mao Ziping immediately said: "Guard, pull it down and feed the dogs." ”

The man immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "I have surrendered, I have surrendered, you can't kill prisoners, this is the rule of the battlefield, you can't break the rules, and you can't ruin the reputation of the handsome and martial general." ”

Hearing his quibble, Mao Ziping sat on the chair and sneered, "After investigation by our department, you are not Tanaka Yu's commissioner, but a fake goods. ”

The man opened his mouth wide and said for a long time, "Sir, are you really like a god?" ”

"Less nonsense! Who are you? A staff officer on the side asked sharply, and pulled out a pistol and put it on the man's head.
