Chapter 311: Front-and-back flank

In this regard, President Xu Shichang has no choice, because Duan Qirui, who is hidden behind the scenes, has no way. Since the First Sino-Japanese War, the pace of China's integration into the world has been faster, and all kinds of novel terms have been pouring into the country at an accelerated pace. Zhang Zuolin insisted on setting up a committee between the central ministries and the various provinces and departments, and no one else could say anything, right? After all, Lao Zhang has not yet raised the banner of anti-the Republic of China, and people claim to be reforming to the outside world.

If it weren't for the sudden banditry trouble, Zhang Zuolin would only be afraid to devote his energy to the large-scale economic revitalization plan for Northeast China proposed by Zhang Hanqing.

Therefore, the Second Mixed Brigade of Jilin, as a confidant, has become the number one heart disease of the old and young Zhang father and son, and they have to get rid of it as soon as possible. Therefore, Lao Zhang unconditionally supported Zhang Hanqing's transfer of troops.

He was the first to know and carefully study Zhang Hanqing's military plans, and for the first time truly recognized the military capabilities of this eldest son. In the war, Zhang Hanqing relied on Guo Songling and Han Linchun before, and now he relies on strategy, but Lao Zhang admires the current Zhang Hanqing very much, because this is the real handsome. For the way of the general, it is important to strategize, not to be brave.

Zhang Zuoxiang was also very pleased, he laughed and said to Zhang Zuolin: "Dashuai, are you still worried that Xiao Liuzi's overall view is not enough?" Successfully avoiding the constraints of the Japanese, and being able to drive Gao Shifu out of his lair, he has a seven-clever heart! I dare to conclude that it won't be long before Gao Shifu will be captured! ”

However, Gao Shifu is not easy to deal with, after all, he knows the soldiers, and when he evacuated Changchun, he fully gave full play to his military achievements. In order to prevent the Jilin Security Command from changing its fortunes, he arranged a large number of sentries to observe the movements of the three divisions of the Fengjun army along the way, and fully ensured that even if the Fengjun sent out a battalion, he would keep an eye on it. Fortunately, the young marshal cherished his reputation very much, and did not arrange for the army to outflank and cover up the bad acts.

And Wu Junsheng's 29th Division in Heilongjiang also really went to Heilongjiang, and on the road from Changchun to Jilin (City) for more than 120 kilometers, there was not a single accident, which surprised Gao Shifu, who was the pioneer officer.

In fact, it is not surprising that there is a Jichang railway line built by the Japanese, which is considered the sphere of influence of the Japanese, and the Jilin Security Command, which does not want to intersect with the Japanese, has no intention of fighting the Gao Brigade here.

In order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, Gao Shifu still ordered to march quickly, and it was not safe until Huichun. He issued an order that the 2nd Regiment and the Artillery Battalion, which were the guards and baggage guards after a short rest in Changchun City, must follow the large army the next day. In order to prevent accidents, Gao Shifu always opened up the situation with one regiment first, and then followed up with a regiment to change defenses, leaving one regiment to hold the retreat at the previous station. In this way, it is safe, but the speed of travel is inevitably slowed down. Fortunately, his spy battalion watched the movements of the three Fengjun divisions, and reported that after the Fengjun entered Changchun, they were all repairing and had no intention of pursuing, so they felt that the world was peaceful.

However, when he learned from the front that an army stationed in Jiaohe County was a member of the Guards Division, he was inexplicably shocked in his heart: Why did this army appear? Yesterday, the news brought by Meng Enyuan's uncle also said that the Guards Division was fighting against Lu Yonggui in Tonghua! Could it be that his uncle lied to him? Otherwise, no matter what, with the capabilities of the modern army, unless it is flying in one day and one night, it will never be able to go from Tonghua to Jiaohe!

He still had a lot of research on the Guards Division, and from the time it became famous in the battle to suppress bandits, he noticed that this new army was not very well equipped, but it was a very high morale. He didn't ask about Zhang Hanqing's other abilities, but he still admired that this young marshal could build such a stylish army in a short period of time. He also heard that the Guards Division was far away in Tonghua so he resolutely decided to leave Changchun, because he was afraid that the Guards Division would make dumplings for him from the south.

In a sense, Meng Enyuan did not lie to him, because Lao Meng was also a deceived person.

When the Guards Division came to suppress the bandits, it was not concentrated in one piece, because considering the scattered nature of the bandits, no matter how large a group of bandits were, it was impossible to eat up the formed regiments. The four regiments under the Guard Division were divided into regions, and this regiment was set by Guo Songling in the area of Songhua Lake, and it was not without the intention of intercepting Gao Shifu's back road.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Hanqing was unwilling to have an army in Jilin that was free from the Feng system, and he used a series of tactics to show weakness and attack his heart, but he wanted Gao Shiwei to withdraw from the important town of Changchun, so as to achieve the goal of pursuing and suppressing. Considering Gao Shifu's suspicions, Wu Jun's goal of ascension to the division was too obvious, so the army that surrounded and suppressed him wandered around the far periphery and did not deploy troops on the near side, which was also the reason why Gao Shifu was unimpeded and could not detect the movements of the Feng army.

He definitely has a few brushes in tactics, but Zhang Hanqing relies on a large number of troops that can be used for strategic deployment. When this big net had been cast and began to tighten one after another, Gao Jun was still in the dark.

Therefore, Gao Shifu originally decided to march in unison and cover up Jidong first, but after thinking twice, he decided to garrison Jiaohe on the spot, which is the only way to Huichun, and it is also the fastest passage.

There is an obstacle in front, and the pursuers behind should not be far away. Gao Shifu keenly felt that the troops of the Jilin Security Command must be watching his tail somewhere behind, and now the survival of his baggage troops and artillery battalion was in jeopardy. If the combined forces can still be relied on, there is now a possibility that a mixed brigade with a long snake formation will be beaten head and tail, and the key is that he does not dare to fight for a long time.

Sure enough, before the heralds sent to the rear team could report back, a fierce gunfight rang out from the back road. The 3rd Regiment came to report that an unidentified army had cut off contact with the rear road by a surprise attack, and that the gunfire was the result of an exchange of fire between the two sides.

Although this army is small in number, it is rare to be equipped with at least a dozen machine guns, and the firepower is not insignificant. The key is that they did not follow the 3rd Regiment in pursuit, but prepared for defense on the spot, which made the 3rd Regiment think that their task should be to block the back of the Gao army's reinforcements.

Gao Shifu was caught in a fierce struggle. Forget about the baggage, the key is the artillery battalion, which is the magic weapon of the mixed brigade, and he is still counting on it to make a comeback. However, returning to the rescue back for dozens of miles, first, is beyond the strength, and second, it is beyond the reach of the whip. If the rear road is defeated, and they turn around and burrow into the circle of the Feng army, then they will lose their money.

However, the artillery battalion is too important, that is, the grass falls, and setting up a few cannons in the deep mountains will give the enemy attacking the mountains a lot of trouble! Not as a last resort, Gao Shiwei was still unwilling to give up the rescue, although it could also trap himself in. However, this risk is worth taking!

This decision almost destroyed the entire mixed brigade.
