It turned out that Du Lisan's old suppression was in Qingmakan Sanjiegou in Liaozhong County, and his sphere of influence was in the Liaohe River Basin area between Liaozhong County and Tai'an County. Unlike other bandits, Du Lisan's main source of income was not to rob houses and kidnap tickets, but to collect rent and ship transit fees on the Liao River. The sources of these two incomes are stable, so Du Lisan's family is quite sufficient, and he also has money to recruit bandits and buy weapons.

Due to the Gengzi State Change, Tsarist Russia invaded the Northeast, resulting in the collapse of the order of the entire Northeast, and in this chaotic situation, Du Lisan was like a fish in water, and soon developed into a number of green forest forces in the Northeast, and later the fierce war between Japan and Russia, Japan also relied on Du Lisan to deal with the Russian army, and provided him with a lot of weapons, which greatly increased Du Lisan's strength, and it was even more empty-eyed. However, after the People's Army entered the war, it quickly defeated the Japanese and Russian armies and strengthened the anti-bandit operations, while Du Lisan, Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge, and other half-official and half-bandit local forces did not need to be used, he belonged to the Lvlin family, and he failed to keep up with the changes in the current situation and change his position, and as a result, he naturally had a fierce conflict with the People's Army.

Of course, Du Lisan was not the opponent of the People's Army, and he was defeated in several encounters, and most of the men and horses were lost, so he had to retreat back to the Qingmakan Three Realms Ditch. Although the People's Army did not advance and suppress the Qingmakan Sanjiegou, because Du Lisan lost his sphere of influence, he could only sit back and eat empty, and sooner or later he could not escape the result of defeat. In fact, Du Lisan has been a bandit for many years and has accumulated a lot of savings, and it is no problem to support it for 2 or 3 years. But money alone is useless, the People's Army strictly controls daily necessities such as grain, salt, cloth, and medicinal herbs, so Du Lisan can't buy anything at all with silver.

At this time, Du Lisan knew the strength of the People's Army, and it happened that Wang Kefu took the initiative to find Du Lisan and strongly persuaded him to give up the old suppression of the Three Realms Ditch in Qingmakan and retreat to Mongolia, so as to preserve his strength and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback. And Du Lisan saw that he was desperate, so he had to follow Wang Kefu's suggestion, set fire to the old man of the Three Realms Ditch in Qingmakan, and led the rest into Mongolia and camped in Chifeng.

Russia can provide food and supplies to Du Lisan through the Mongol forces it has cultivated, but it is difficult to provide weapons, Bi Jing is also short of weapons in the Russian army, and Japan is isolated overseas, so it cannot directly give Du Lisan weapons. However, the Japanese Bi Jing had a way and decided to find a way from the Qing court, and Kawashima Nanisu came forward to find the former Su prince Shanqi, and instigated him to come forward to gather a group of clan ministers of the Qing court to help Du Lisan purchase ** weapons and ammunition. Although Shanqi was dismissed from the king, his status among the ministers of the clan has risen instead of falling, and he has the meaning of the leader of the clan, and Shanqi has many industries, and he does not live on the prince's dedication. Moreover, there are many high-ranking and powerful ministers in the clan, so Shanqi still has great energy.

Knowing that it could add trouble to overseas Chinese, Shanqi naturally raised his hands to support, and immediately expressed his support for 10,000 taels of silver, and then contacted other ministers very much, some ministers also hoped to block the overseas Chinese, and some ministers were afraid of Shanqi's face, so they each contributed money, and finally made up more than 10 thousand taels of silver, and at the same time through the leading Tieliang, Liangbi and other ministers of the clan purchased 3,000 Hanyang-made rifles and matching bullets, as well as four 75mm guns, which were transferred by Mongolia and given to Du Lisan, and promised that as long as Du Lisan did a good job, the Qing court would recruit him and make him an official at the level of a general soldier.

After giving the weapon to Du Lisan, Japan mobilized several bandit forces from the north to retreat to Mongolia, and merged with Du Lisan, which also greatly increased Du Lisan's strength, and at the same time, Japan and Russia each sent a small number of soldiers to join Du Lisan's bandit army, and helped Du Lisan train the army, the Japanese army was about 130 people, mainly responsible for controlling the 4 artillery, the Russian army was about 150 people, and there were more than 60 cavalry. And Wang Kefu became the liaison between the Japanese and Russian armies and Du Lisan, so he was increasingly valued by Du Lisan.

After a few months in Chifeng, Du Lisan received an order from Russia to lead a raid on Jinzhou. The result was a great success, and it also made Du Lisan breath of bad breath.

And at this time, East China ** dispatched troops to reinforce Jinzhou, and Du Lisan also understood in his heart that his strength was far from the People's Army, although he successfully defeated the garrison of Jinzhou during the raid on Jinzhou, but his own strength in this battle was twice that of the garrison, but in actual combat, it was obviously inferior to the opponent, if it was not for the Mongolian cavalry to arrive at the time and break through the flank of the garrison, then the battle was lost by himself. Moreover, after Zhang Zuolin's troops arrived in Jinzhou, he fought with Du Lisan several times, although the scale was not large, but Du Lisan suffered a lot, which also gave Du Lisan a clear understanding of his strength.

Of course, the Japanese and Russian military officers in the bandit army were even more aware of the strength of the two sides, so the attitude of all parties was the same, that is, they could not resist the People's Army head-on, so they gave up capturing the county town and retreated to the new garrison of Buxin. If the KPA continues to attack, it can even abandon Buxin and retreat all the way to Chifeng.

Although Gao Jin sent two documents in a row, he was even more humiliating to Du Lisan, Du Lisan was also so angry that he couldn't immediately lead the army to attack Jinzhou and capture Gao Jin alive, but he Bi Jing was still a reasonable person, knowing that he could not be the opponent of the People's Army, he could only endure this breath.

Then the People's Army soldiers were divided into two routes, stationed in Quang Ninh and Yizhou, and put on a large-scale attack on the new port, and Du Lisan saw this, and was also ready to abandon the new port, but at this time, the Russian army headquarters in Chita ordered Du Li's third division to attack Jinzhou again, create another shock, and transfer all the unsuccessful bandit troops in other ways to join Du Li's third department to enhance his strength.

Of course, Du Lisan would not make a rash attack, but the Japanese and Russian military officers could not ignore this order, so they also carried out serious planning, and finally found that most of the troops of the People's Army were concentrated on the line of Guangning and Yizhou, while the garrison force behind Jinzhou was very empty, Guangning and Yizhou were 50 kilometers apart, and there was the strategy and cover of the Mongolian cavalry, so it was completely qualified to pass through Guangning and Yizhou and raid Jinzhou. Moreover, as long as the army is brought under the city of Jinzhou, it will inevitably cause a major shock to the Jinzhou area, and even if Jinzhou is not breached, it can be regarded as the completion of the order of the Russian army headquarters. So the Japanese and Russian military officers had some discussions, and finally worked out a set of plans for attacking Jinzhou, and then Wang Ke came back and proposed it to Du Lisan.

After listening to Wang Kefu's suggestion, Du Lisan was also a little tempted, because this plan was indeed somewhat reliable, and Du Lisan did want to breathe a sigh of relief, after all, being despised by a woman was really in the bag.

But Du Lisan also knows that don't look at the fact that Japan and Russia support themselves now, that is, they need to buy their lives for them to make trouble for East China, but their own life and death are irrelevant to Japan and Russia, and it is enough to support a leader from among the bandits, so whether this plan is feasible or not still needs to be seriously considered, first of all, it is necessary to determine how many troops there are in Jinzhou and whether the troops are empty.

Du Lisan didn't have his own intelligence system, but he had his own way, that is, he was inextricably linked with Zhang Zuolin's department, so he asked Song Qinglian to call out Tang Yuqi and Zhang Sifei in the name of reminiscing about the old days, and talk from them.

Song Qinglian completed the task very smoothly, according to Wang Kefu's analysis, Jinzhou's army was between 1500-2000, although this number did not make Du Lisan completely satisfied, but the emptiness of the garrison was not fake. Bijing Jinzhou is a big city, the length of the city wall alone is 6.7 kilometers, and there are veterans of East China in the city, so it is unrealistic to expect only a few hundred people to be stationed. What's more, Wang Kefu also said that it is not necessary to break through Jinzhou City, as long as it can scare the elders of East China, it can also be considered successful, which Du Lisan also agreed.

Du Lisan thought for a while and said: "Mr. Wang, if we can successfully assault Jinzhou City this time, whether we can break through Jinzhou City or not, the People's Army of Yizhou and Quang Ninh will inevitably rush back to rescue, and how should we return to Buxin at that time." ”

Wang Kefu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the big boss, our assault this time, will not return along the original road, whether or not Jinzhou City is broken, our retreat route is to first swim up the Xiaoling River to the west, cross the upper reaches of the Daling River in the Chaoyang area, and return to Chifeng directly through Tuohetu and Berke, as long as it enters the territory of Mongolia, someone can respond, so even if the People's Army of Yizhou and Quang Ninh comes to help, it will not help us and wait." ”

Du Lisan nodded, this is indeed a clever move, Mongolia and Jinzhou are bordering a wide area, as long as you enter Mongolia from there, you can basically ensure safety. After thinking about it for a while, Du Lisan said again: "We will give up Buxin, so what should we do with the belongings that remain in Buxin now?

This time the assault on Jinzhou, Du Lisan even down the three counties, looted a lot of materials, and from other grange villages to get a lot of supplies, so it is indeed a big deal, Du Lisan gave up the Qingmakan three realms ditch old suppression, only brought out the soft things, the second generation of bandits for many years of accumulation all gave up, and after arriving in Chifeng, it is also under the fence, although there are funding from all parties, but the expenses are still not small, this time in the Jinzhou area looted the property but Du Lisan intends to make a comeback in the future, naturally can not give up.

Wang Kefu despised Du Lisan in his heart, and he still remembered the money, but on the surface, he was not moved at all, and said with a smile: "Although the big boss can rest assured, our assault on Jinzhou, the people's army of Yizhou and Guangning will definitely come back to help, and the big boss is not worried at all, if the big boss is still not at ease, you can leave 1 or 200 brothers in the new port, and after we attack, transport these belongings to Chifeng." ”

Du Lisan thought about it, and also felt that such a plan was indeed foolproof, if he was still timid, then he couldn't say it, not to mention that Du Lisan was also a person who was used to licking blood from the knife, and he was not a timid person, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided." ”
