Bao Guiqing was originally the overseer of the Black Province, and he also wanted to do something at the beginning of his appointment. However, because Hei Province was not as close as Jilin to Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin was beyond the reach of the whip, and because he was afraid that he would sit big, he adopted the method of suppressing everything: he could not hold the post of provincial governor, first lame, and then firmly grasped the first and 29th divisions that should have belonged to him, so that he could do nothing.

Changing Bao Guiqing to the post of Jilin overseer, and letting the highly respected and loyal Sun Liechen be the overseer of Hei Province, so that Bao Guiqing, who was sandwiched between the two provinces, would naturally be easier to control than if he was in a corner. And Bao Guiqing, who parachuted into Jilin with his bare hands, of course couldn't have any restraint on Zhang Zuolin, as long as he wanted, Lao Zhang could put him in the air at any time. If he wants to move Bao Guiqing, he can squeeze him to death at any time.

So for this decision, Zhang Zuolin readily agreed. It is enough for Fengtian to have Zhang Hanqing, and after Sun Liechen joins the army, Hei Province can truly become the rear of Fengtian!

However, after receiving the dismissal order, Meng Enyuan was very angry and determined to refuse the order of the Beijing government. He had heard some rumors before, and had sent his secretary Dai Yizhen to Beijing President Feng Guozhang to inquire about the truth, Feng said that there was no such thing, and advised Meng not to listen to the rumors. But soon the rumors became facts, and Meng Enyuan couldn't be very angry after receiving the order? He sent a telegram asking the reason for the cabinet transfer, and he had to reply within three days, otherwise Jilin would declare its independence.

Meng Enyuan is a native of Zhili, and his in-law Lu Jianzhang is also a direct line, and most of Meng's troops belong to the children of Zhili. Due to the death of Lu Jianzhang, the direct family was quite vigilant and dissatisfied with the Anhui line, and this time, the transfer of the Jilin overseer army implicated the struggle between the direct line and the Anhui line, and the incident became much larger. In order to show his toughness, Meng Enyuan sent Pei Qixun, commander of the Jilin Mixed Brigade, as the commander-in-chief of the Independent Army, and instructed various organizations in Jilin to send a telegram to the Beijing government to withdraw Yi Du's order.

Under these circumstances, the Beijing government sent Xue Songnian to Changchun to persuade Meng Enyuan not to resist, and promised him to appoint him to another post after returning to Beijing; Zhang Zuolin also sent someone to encircle Meng Enyuan's right-hand man Gao Shifu, expressing his willingness to accept him as a protégé, and Gao Shifu drove out the future.

Meng Enyuan was already preparing to leave Jilin for Beijing, but Gao Shiwei and others did not agree, and they encouraged Meng Enyuan to issue a declaration of independence and confront Zhang Zuolin by force. Meng Enyuan was already very nostalgic for the position of the Jilin overseer, but at the instigation of Gao Shiwei, he wavered again. He erroneously believed that the dismissal was due to Zhang Zuolin's trickery and not to the original intention of the Beijing government, and that if troops were sent to confront the Feng army and a tense and imminent situation would be formed, perhaps the government would not be able to bear to suffer the misery of life and revoke the dismissal order again, as it did last time.

Meng Enyuan prepared to deploy all Jilin troops in various strategic points at the junction of Jilin and Feng provinces, and announced that Jilin would become independent. didn't know that in this way, it just created an opportunity for Zhang Zuolin to intervene by force. On the one hand, Zhang Zuolin asked the Beijing government to issue an order to crusade against Jilin, and on the other hand, he mobilized a large army and divided his troops into five routes, preparing to annihilate the Jilin army in one fell swoop.

Zhang Jinghui led the 16th Division through Qingyuan to approach the mouth of the Meihe River.

After the reorganization of the Jin Chunling, Feng Delin's original 28th Division passed through the Sanhekou Soldiers and pointed directly at Shuangliao.

Wu Junsheng led the 29th Division from Xifeng to approach Liaoyuan.

Zhang Zuolin's other confidant, Sun Liechen, led the elite 27th Division from Changtu to Siping.

In addition, Bao Guiqing, the overseer of Heilongjiang, ordered Han Linchun's 1st Division to threaten Jilin's back from east to west.

GI Overwhelmed!

President Xu Shichang did not want a war between Feng and Jilin, so he sent a letter to Jilin to persuade Meng Enyuan to leave his post as soon as possible. At the same time, he asked Zhang Xun to write a letter to Meng Enyuan in his personal name, persuading him to retire to Beijing. But Meng Enyuan couldn't listen to any advice at this time, and insisted on fighting with Zhang Zuolin to break the net!

At a time when the sabers and guns of Jifeng were in a relative stalemate, the "Kuanchengzi Incident" occurred in Changchun, Jilin Province, which made the Japanese inadvertently do Zhang Zuolin a great favor. But how exactly did this incident happen, and why did it happen precisely at the critical juncture of the confrontation between the two armies that was obviously unfavorable to Zhang Zuolin's opponent? The later history of the Republic of China is ambiguous.

However, when someone with a heart went through the secret files of the "Fengtian Special Operations Brigade," the predecessor of the Chinese special forces, they unexpectedly found that there were records of fierce battles against Japan during that period. As we all know, the special operations brigade has been busy training since its inception, and the first official operation announced was two years later.

Kuanchengzi is located in the northeast of what is now Changchun City. At that time, a regiment of the Jilin army was stationed north of Kuanchengzi and pedestrians were not allowed to pass. To the east is the territory of the Russians, and the garrison of Ji Province is not allowed to leave the country, but the army of Hei Province can come and go here freely, and they have to defend it.

At that time, the South Manchurian Railway was controlled by the Japanese, and a Japanese employee named Funazu at Changchun Station usually relied on the identity of the Japanese to run rampant and domineering in the local area, as if entering a no-man's land, which was also a portrayal of weak China at that time.

One day, a Chinese friend in Funazu asked him to deliver a batch of items that were urgently needed for the people's livelihood, and they needed to pass through the camp of Meng Enyuan's troops. In the past, of course, Funazu has done it many times, and he has also benefited a lot from it, but when the army pressed the border, he was a little sensitive.

His friend also felt that it seemed a little difficult to do, so he said with some embarrassment: "Funazu-kun, if this matter is difficult, I will find another way." If there is a conflict with the local garrison, it is difficult to explain it from above. ”

If it was just the previous sentence, Funazu might have taken advantage of the situation, after all, he was just a small clerk, and he didn't want to cause trouble. As for friends, they are just a springboard for his fishing profits, and the Chinese who have asked for him have gone to the sea. But the latter sentence is a big loss of face for the locust army of the Japanese Empire---- Chinese army dares to argue with the locust army? Funazu patted his chest arrogantly and said, "No problem, the South Manchurian Line is the lifeline of the empire in the northeast, see who dares to stand in the way of my locust army." It's just that he didn't see the cunning in this friend's eyes.

There were really people standing in his way.

At the moment of the great enemy, the troops of the Jilin Army in Kuanchengzi have been placed under martial law, and of course they will act according to the orders of the Funazu party. Funazu was so bright that he ignored the sentry and wanted to force his way through the camp of the Jilin garrison.

Where the duty lies, the sentinel, of course, disagrees. Seeing that the conversation between the two sides was getting more and more stiff, at some point, Funazu's friend pushed the sentry. The sentry is also a fierce man, and he is afraid of the Japanese soldiers, but an unarmed Japanese clerk dares to be so arrogant, and that is another matter. Naturally, there was a verbal discord between the two sides and a fight, and Funazu, who was alone, was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen.

Of course, Funazu couldn't be counted like this after being beaten, and ran back to the Japanese barracks at Kuanchengzi Station with two lap legs to move the rescue soldiers. There are people in the Northeast who bully the citizens of the Japanese Empire, and this is worth it! A large number of Japanese troops immediately rushed to the scene.

In the past, this kind of momentum alone did not need to be used at all in China, and the other side naturally obediently obeyed and softened, and the Japanese soldiers also thought so. Some of them had unbuttoned uniforms, and their rifles were still on their shoulders, trying to show off their might to find fault. According to experience, as long as there is a big trouble, the other party will naturally grovel and say good things, and will obediently hand over the person concerned.

But this time it was wrong.

Before they could question, the other party didn't give them a chance to open their mouths at all, and directly sent a shuttle of bullets to the vital point. These Japanese soldiers did not expect this to happen, and some of them died without loading their bullets.

Although the incident occurred suddenly, the well-trained characteristics of the Japanese soldiers were immediately manifested. As the leading soldier Cao shouted "quack", the Japanese soldiers immediately returned fire. The two sides fought back and forth, and a fierce battle began in an instant.

To say that the tactical literacy of the Kuanchengzi garrison and the Japanese soldiers is really not of the same level, but there is a mental calculation or not, the Japanese soldiers are only looking for a field, and they do not carry heavy weapons. In addition, after the shootout began, the Jilin garrison, which shared the same hatred of the enemy, was quickly reinforced, and the Japanese soldiers did not have any advantage in the hands of the garrison, which had a first-mover advantage. In the melee, 18 Japanese soldiers were killed and 17 wounded, and 15 Jilin soldiers were killed and 14 wounded.

How exactly did this inexplicable battle come about? There have always been different opinions. According to the recollection of General Zhang Chengde, who was later incorporated into the Fengjun Army and served as commander of the military region with the highest post, he was the commander of the Kuanchengzi Garrison Regiment in Jilin at that time, and before the battle, the two armies had not had time to send people to contact each other, and suddenly several strangers wearing the same military uniforms as the already side appeared from the side of the side, and first shot and killed several Japanese soldiers at the Japanese side, causing the Japanese army to confront them. The Japanese army was outnumbered by men, so they retreated at that time. But when it came time to look for this strange group of "allies", they were like ghosts who came from nowhere and did not know where to go.

The battle log of the Japanese Takeo Shoda also confirms that it was not the defenders of Jilin on the opposite side who fired the first shot, but another group of enemy troops who appeared to be reinforcements (mistaken at the time) to strike first. Due to the chaos of the scene, no one cared whether this group of people was part of the Jilin garrison or not, because their uniforms were exactly the same. No matter who it is, this is absolutely not allowed in the Northeast and even in China under the rule of the Japanese army! This is a blatant provocation against the Japanese Empire, and it is tolerable and intolerable!

After the "Kuanchengzi Incident," the Japanese side transferred a large number of troops from Gongzhuling and other places to exert military pressure on the Chinese side. The Jilin garrison in Changchun was required to withdraw all 15 kilometers away. At that time, Changchun was an important stronghold and strategic place for the Kyrgyzstan army to confront Zhang Zuolin, which destroyed the original military arrangement of the Kyrgyzstan army and broke the military balance between Kyrgyzstan and Feng.

After Meng Enyuan heard the news, his hands trembled, his eyes turned white, and he just muttered to himself: "Who is the black hand?" Who shot the cold gun? ”

When the Beijing government received the news of the "Kuanchengzi incident," it was terrified. For the members of the Chinese court, who were bent on living in troubled times, it was a consistent policy to rather offend domestic slaves than "friendly countries." In order not to escalate the incident into a large-scale military conflict, he issued an order to severely reprimand Meng Enyuan and ordered Gao Shifu to be dismissed.

In the past, he could still behave coyly, but now that the central government is really angry, do you dare to resist the soldiers again? If losses are caused to the country, and the perpetrators will not be able to redeem their lives, who can afford this responsibility?

This is also a true portrayal of the diplomacy of weak countries.
