After the defeat of the Anhui system in the Zhiwan War, the Japanese lost the object of support, and finally weighed the pros and cons and chose Zhang Zuolin, who was sitting in the northeast. In order to achieve this political goal, Japan launched a series of direct military assistance to Zhang Zuolin, and most of these were closely related to Zhang Zuolin's "reorganization of the army and the use of military force."

In fact, in 1919, Japan began to provide "military aid" to Zhang Zuolin's department, and in 1920, Zhang Zuolin negotiated with the Japanese Kwantung Army to purchase 12 mortars and 6,000 shells as heavy weapons to fight the horse thieves in the northeast. On 22 April 1922, Zhang Zuolin purchased another batch of weapons from Japan.

But after Zhang Zuolin's defeat in the battle of Zhifeng, the Japanese civilian government tended to wait and see, believing that it was difficult for this horse bandit to win the Central Plains and it was not worth betting on him. Successively withdrew instructors from Zhang Zuolin's troops, withdrew Japanese technicians from the arsenal, and politely rejected Zhang Zuolin's request for another loan.

Zhang Zuolin had to concentrate his main forces west of Jinzhou to guard against the direct attack, and he really didn't have the energy to take care of the Heilongjiang area, so he just put two brigades to garrison. He is very relieved to be in Heilongjiang here, the north is close to Lao Maozi, and Lao Maozi's own domestic affairs have not yet been settled, so how can he think of Heilongjiang.

Zhang Zuolin's idea was to lie down and lick his wounds first, and then take a breath after this year had passed, and then clear the small forces on the turf. It seemed to him that these small forces would not shake his roots.

After Sun Minghui took over Song Zhipeng's armament, he counted the family property and sprayed Song Zhipeng's scolding with blood. What kind of stuff has been done in a year, more than 1,000 armed forces have not yet reached 2,000, and the territory controlled is only two counties that have not yet controlled the county seat.

Sun Minghui said unceremoniously to Song Zhipeng: "Nima, it's so stupid, what's the use of the boss asking for these gold and silver treasures?" The boss is going to be turf and armed. ”

After Song Zhipeng went through Taihu Lake to suppress bandits, he had a strong hobby of collecting and looting property. He was able to lead a small group of troops to a long-distance raid on the Japanese trading company in Mukden City, 600 kilometers, but did not make a move on the county seat that was close at hand.

Sun Minghui looked at the house full of gold and silver treasures and shook his head, whether this thing can be eaten or worn.

Sun Minghui pointed at Song Zhipeng and said, "Song Zhipeng, you go and gather the team, I will get Yichun within a week." The headquarters of the Northeast Base Area is located in Yichun. After laying down Yichun, you take a hundred people to Jiamusi to develop. ”

When Song Zhipeng received Sun Minghui, he proudly showed off the wealth and armament he had acquired in the past year, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Sun Minghui for splitting his head and covering his face.

Sun Minghui sulked in the room, thinking that no matter who he sent to harvest, he would be stronger than Song Zhipeng, who was only suitable to be the leader of the special team, not as a leader.

In the evening, he summoned dozens of special agents and a dozen officers he had brought with him to discuss how to develop, they urgently needed to establish their own power in this land, and a large number of weapons would be brought to Harbin from bulk commodities through the Chamber of Commerce.

Although he did not know Hu Wenkai's specific plans for the Northeast, he got a clear signal that the boss would completely solve the Northeast problem next year. Pulling out your toes, you can calculate that the base here will play an absolute role, and there is not much time left for you.

One night will be opened, and the first place to clear the Japanese reclamation points within a hundred kilometers around Yichun will be made. More than 1,000 armed men were mobilized to sweep away the wasteland in turn. The special agents will start sneaking into Yichun County one after another tomorrow to wait for orders.

The Northeast is really fucking vast and sparsely populated, and the nearest reclamation point is the reclamation point called the fourth one, which is eighteen kilometers away from Yichun County. The scale is not large, and there are about 600 Oriental people, young and old.

As soon as the morning dawned, Sun Minghui led the people and horses to the fourth child, and there was not even a single figure except for the woods and weeds along the way. muttered in his heart No wonder Song Zhipeng has more than a thousand people, which can't be compared with Jiangsu, there are people a few steps away over there, but there is nothing here except the startled beasts and birds of prey in the bushes.

Finally saw a tunzi, wisps of cooking smoke rose from the chimney under the morning sun, someone shouted at the tunzi, and a few elderly people walked out of the tunzi for a while. Sun Minghui couldn't figure out what was going on and asked Song Zhipeng: "What's going on with them?" ”

"It's all from this tunzi, pass by the door and ask about the situation at home."

Sun Minghui thought nonsense, how to bring the troops. Song Zhipeng had the opportunity to explain that the land in the Northeast is not a problem, how much is the output can't keep up, and the biggest problem is that there are fewer people and more land.

The people here are different from the Jiangnan side, no one pays attention to the views of any country and nation here, and no one agrees, most of them have fled from the Guannai, and they are fed up with the oppression in the Guannai and can't live anymore, so they drag their families to create the Kanto region and open up the wasteland and farm.

The family spends most of their time at home doing farm work, and if you talk to him about idealism, no one will pay attention to you. Here, because there are few people, and each settlement is more than ten kilometers apart, safety is a problem.

They are most afraid of bandits and the army and police, as long as they can be kept safe, everything is fine. There will definitely be people who can manage food and clothing, and families with slightly worse snow and road closure conditions here in winter will not survive the winter.

Sun Minghui laughed, he can ensure the safety of everyone in his territory, and the flour and rice of the Chamber of Commerce have been transported to Harbin in full force, which is not a problem, but the army tempted by interests can work. He was thinking about pulling up a team of four or five thousand people first, and then slowly solving this problem, the key was to have people first.

After marching to the outskirts of the fourth place at noon, Sun Minghui lamented that the Orientals really know how to choose a place, and a river runs through this black land, and the endless winter wheat on the black soil is growing very well, and the fruitful ears of wheat have fallen.

Oriental women who were busy working in the fields saw their team screaming and running into the tunzi, where farm tools and clothes were scattered all over the field.

Sun Minghui said to Song Zhipeng: "Find someone to call for a message, saying that the troops of the Beijing government have come to investigate the fact that the Orientals have illegally cultivated the land of the Republic of China." ”

Song Zhipeng's eyes were full of admiration, Nima, the reason why he came when he opened his mouth Song Zhipeng couldn't arrange it, he couldn't do it if he didn't admire.

The tun was large and enclosed with a sturdy wooden fence, and outside was a deep trench filled with water. After a while, the ringing bell rang in the tun, and there was a lot of ping-pong inside, and men in the prime of life stood in the bunker behind the wooden fence with spears in hand.

Sun Minghui carefully observed from the telescope, these Orientals came prepared, and a tunzi was a battle fortress. He dispersed his troops at a distance of a thousand meters, a distance that avoided the effective firing range of the Orientals.

"Shouting, I don't believe that there are no people among them who understand Chinese." Sun Minghui commanded with the demeanor of a general.

Song Zhipeng asked a big man beside him to step forward and shout, this guy walked forward about ten meters, and shouted in a trumpet shape with his hands: "We are the army of the Beijing government, and we have come to investigate that you Orientals live in the wasteland of the Republic of China without permission." ”

A pure Chinese accent came from the bunker behind the gate of Tunzi: "We came here to reclaim wasteland with the permission of Zhang Dashuai of the Northeast Autonomous Government. ”

Sun Minghui instructed in the back: "Tell them to open the gate of Tunzi and lay down their arms for investigation, which is the territory of the Republic of China without the permission of the central government, and the governor of any place has no right to deal with diplomatic and territorial matters." ”

The big man shouted word for word according to Sun Minghui's words, and with a bang, the Oriental people fired. The distance was out of range, and the bullets flew somewhere.

Sun Minghui involuntarily took a step back and cursed in his mouth.

"Zhipeng dispersed the team, set up mortars, and arranged snipers to prevent anyone from escaping."

The team was divided into companies and dispersed, and the officers brought in from Jiangsu were building mortar positions. More than a dozen snipers were scattered around.

Sun Minghui looked at Song Zhipeng's orderly arrangement of the troops, and thought to himself that this guy was still a bit of a brush, and this unit was trained by him well.

"Song Zhipeng, is there a transmitter in this kind of wasteland opening point?"

"Vice captain, you joke, there are not many transmitters in the entire Northeast, it would be a god if this tunzi could have a transmitter, and no one would use the transmitter for him." Song Zhipeng looked at Sun Minghui in surprise and said. How did he know that now the telegraph of the Fujin Party troops is now popularized in the battalion, and the walkie-talkie is equipped with the company.

"Well, that's good, how long will it take for the Easterners to know if I destroy this reclamation point?"

"Vice-captain, it's hard to say, maybe no one will know about it for a year, and maybe it will be discovered in two months. Who is going to come here if there is nothing to do in the Northeast, the Oriental people are fine, how can you see that this bandit can attack Tunzi? So they are very relieved, they are not afraid of bandits, the police dare not trouble them, but they agreed to come over to reclaim the land. ”

Sun Minghui was happy, this battle would be very cool, and no one would know if the other party had no reinforcements.

"Zhipeng ordered to go down, whoever goes to show the news of military law, there will be no casualties in this battle."

"I'll just go and give the order, can the deputy captain let me go first?" Song Zhipeng's hands rubbed itchyly.

Sun Minghui thought to himself that Lao Tzu hadn't enjoyed it yet, but you wanted to take the first bite and said angrily: "Eat first, fill your stomach and then say, what's the hurry?" ”

Fence up anyway, there is no hurry, and there is no way to run away. The soldiers sat on the ridges, eating flatbread and drinking the water of the river.

Sun Minghui came to the mortar position, and four mortars were erected at a distance of three kilometers. More than a dozen boxes of artillery shells were piled up next to it.

"I'll watch a few of you perform later, what I want is to enter through the gate of Tunzi. Only there is no ditch to rush into. When you hear my gunshots, you only need to fire four shots to blow up the bunker at the door. ”

"Don't worry, sir, as long as it's within range, you can hit it if you point it." The officers took a stand.

"Sir, the Oriental ladies have delivered food." An officer with a telescope shouted.

Sun Minghui raised the binoculars on his chest and saw many Oriental girls in the tunzi carrying baskets to deliver food to the bunker behind the wooden fence.

Sun Minghui grinned and said, "You pay attention and observe, and mark me wherever someone delivers food." After knocking down the gate of Tunzi, I will be given key attention. ”
