Chapter 435: The Battle of the Mighty River

Despite the verbal intervention of the Dongying people, Yingkou was finally conquered by Guo Songling's army, and then Mukden was shaken, and the rich families went out to visit distant relatives, while the rich families returned to the countryside to find relatives and friends, and they would probably not return until the situation in Mukden became clear.

Zhang Zuolin took advantage of the negotiation between Dongying and Guo Songling, quickly changed the remnants of the army at hand, appointed Zhang Zuoxiang as the commander-in-chief of the front, and deployed defenses on the east bank of the Juliu River. At this time, the strength of the Feng army has reached 60,000 or 70,000 people, although the number is large but not elite, it seems to have returned to the posture of the Great War with Zhifeng, only the cavalry from Jilin from afar has the strength to fight. Compared with the tacit understanding in Guo Songling's hands and the 40,000 elite troops with complete arms, it is not very dominant.

However, the Feng army understands a truth, there is an old handsome, there will be their glory and wealth, and the wives and children will not starve to death on the streets, if they are replaced by Guo Devil, with that kid's mean and unkind character, he will repay him, don't care if you are Lu Da or Lulin, stay abroad or professional, no one has good fruit to eat, it is for the old handsome Zhang Zuolin on the face of this battle, in fact, everyone is fighting for themselves.

Artillery is not good, that is directly related to the life and death of the Feng army, you must know that the infantry is a person can go on, artillery can be cultivated slowly, for this reason Zhang Zuolin sent Zhang Xueliang to take a plane to personally go to the Kwantung Army station, Dongying people immediately mobilized Dongying heavy artillery, and sent the artillery units of the Dongying Army disguised as the Feng Army to join the war sequence, operated by them, the Feng Army not only made up for the shortcomings but also strengthened the wings, and the shortcomings became strengths!

Young Marshal Zhang Xueliang blushed and said to Zhang Zuolin: "Dad, this war is a matter of life and death for our army, brothers are born and died for my old Zhang family, how can I, Zhang Xueliang, stay in Fengtian City and enjoy peace!" ”

Zhang Zuolin said: "Heaven and Earth Jun is a teacher, although the teacher is under his family, he is a benefactor who teaches you to read and write." It's his fault that Devil Guo rebelled, but if you go to kill him, it's a big crime to kill the teacher! Heaven cannot tolerate retribution! ”

Zhang Xueliang said: "I will go to the battle of Lianshan, are you not afraid that I will commit the crime of killing the teacher?" ”

"If Guo Songling is defeated, you can not kill him, I don't blame you! In the Battle of the Mighty River, he must die! So you can't go! ”

"Ever since he rebelled against him in the name of his son, there has been a ...... between me and him There is no teacher-student friendship, and this person's son will be cut off with his own hands, so that everyone in the world can know that his son is not a person who disobeys his father and kills his father! Please give me permission from my father! ”

"Xiao Liuzi is ambitious, what are we afraid of, who hasn't looked at it a few times in his life? It's just where you fall and then get up from where you want to be handsome...... Let's not talk about the old things, why mention this. It seems that our little family is angry, Brother Lin, you let the little six sons go! ”

Feng Delin snorted coldly, and said indifferently, it seems that he regrets saving Zhang Zuolin very much.

"What Brother Feng said is reasonable, you just let the little sixth son go, if he is accused of being disloyal and unfilial and disobedient to his father, after the little sixth son, he will have no future."

"Yes, let the young marshal go, otherwise how will the young marshal lead the army to fight in the future! After you are a hundred years old, who will we still rely on to be in charge? ”

"What nonsense are you little talking about!" Feng Delin's face sank, and he said very unhappily: "The handsome man is gone, and there are all the old brothers here, can't we let the foundation that Brother Zuolin worked so hard to build be lost?" ”

"Okay, I know what you old brothers mean." Zhang Zuolin stared at Feng Delin and said, "Little Liuzi, since even your Uncle Feng said so, Lao Tzu will give you a chance, come here!" ”

The adjutant rushed over immediately after hearing the news, and Zhang Zuolin said: "Appoint Zhang Xueliang as the commander-in-chief of the front, and cooperate with Zhang Zuoxiang to take full charge of the battle of the Juliu River!" ”

"Thank you, Dad!"

Zhang Xueliang said gratefully.

"You should thank you Uncle Feng!"

Zhang Zuolin's eyes were still staring at Feng Delin when he said this, this is not to say that he is worried about Feng Delin, don't look at the third brother who has fought with him for a lifetime, if there are only three people in the entire tiger hall who will not harm him, except for Zhang Zuoxiang is the third brother, now that the third brother is not in trouble, the rescuers have begun to play tricks, which makes him laugh when he thinks about it, but after speaking, he has to express doubts about the third brother, without himself, he has the highest prestige among the brothers, if he wants to move the little sixth son, Xiao Liuzi can only go back obediently to be a rich man.

"Thank you, Uncle Feng, after the kid passes, he must arrange it well and take down Guo Lao...... Guo Guizi's head lived up to his uncle's affection. ”

Feng Delin said: "Ambition, this is the seed of our old Zhang family, then Uncle is waiting here to drink your celebration wine." ”

Zhang Xueliang smiled, turned around and walked out of the tiger hall, at the moment when the door closed, he suddenly had a feeling that his body was hollowed out, and the whole person slowly sat on the ground against the wall, the middle and low-level officers of the Northeast Army in the past saw it, and wanted to go over but were sent away by him with a wave of his hand, looking at the figures of these officers coming and going, it suddenly made him seem to return to the first time he met Guo Songling a few years ago, when he was also leaning on it, watching the officers walk around, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and they couldn't take care of him, In the boredom, Guo Songling's tall figure stood in front of him like a black tower. I can't remember his expression at the time, and it was so rigid and serious when I think about it, but he still vaguely remembers the conversation between them at that time.

"Kid, why did you run here to play? Let's go back! ”

"My father is Zhang Zuolin, my name is Zhang Xueliang, and the entire Fengtian belongs to our old Zhang family, why can't I play here?"

"You're such a child, your father is the official in charge of Mukden City, and there are overseers above! There's a president above the Overseers, and so on, so what you just said isn't right! ”

"You lied to me, my father said that he supported Yuan Shikai as the emperor of China, and Yuan Shikai supported him as the little emperor of Fengtian! Is there anyone in the world who is bigger than the emperor? ”

"Yes, who says no? Kid, you even know the president, and you should know the Congress. ”

"My father said that those people are as bad as the councilors of Mukden, and whoever gives them money, they will speak for whomever they want."

"Yes, one day someone gives more money than your father, and those people will let this person replace your father's official position, at that time, will you still say that Fengtian City belongs to your old Zhang family?"

"If only these people had been speaking for my dad all the time. Do you have a solution? ”

"Yes! As long as you have the ability, you can reform Fengtian, clean politics, and enrich the people, in this way, people like you, because they like you and like Zhang, then Zhang, will always stay on it! ”

"Can you give me the skill!"

"You go to read and write now, and I will naturally give you the ability when the time is right."

It's a pity that it was a long, long time before we met again, and we had to go all the way to the Army Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces!

"You're late, but you're here anyway. I've got all the skills ready for you to learn. ”

……

In tears, Zhang Xueliang slowly stood up, clenched his hands tightly into fists, and said silently in his heart: "Teacher, please take a good look at Xueliang's ability with your eyes wide open!" ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry and drove to the Mighty River.

Because the Dongying people refused to allow Guo Songling's army to pass on the grounds of maintaining the railway territory, Guo Songling's army's plan to attack Fengtian from the north and south could not be implemented, and they had to fight the Feng army on the front line of the Juliu River. Subsequently, Guo Songling's army took active action to seize Xinmin, a military stronghold on the west bank of the Liao River, and the Feng army had no danger to defend, retreating to the bank of the Juliu River, Guo Songling's army entered Fengtian and fought a decisive battle with Zhang Xueliang's troops across the Juliu River.

Looking at the turbulent river, Zhang Xueliang said with emotion: "This seems to be fate, when I was talking about martial arts in the past, Guo Lao ...... Guo Songling and Xueliang have practiced here, and we are both familiar with the terrain here, so let the teachers and students compare the levels here! ”

A crucial battle that will determine the outcome of the two sides, the former comrades are now turning against each other, the sound of fighting wafts on the mighty river, the river is dyed red, but the two sides have let the desperate fight.

Guo Songling, who was plagued by severe cold, food, ammunition and other problems, issued a general attack order without waiting for the main force to concentrate. Guo Songling's army took the lead in forming an encirclement of the Fengjun headquarters in Xinglongdian, and when it was about to succeed, the ammunition that was already in short supply was blown up by the oncoming Fengjun artillery shells, and finally fell short. Then, Wu Junsheng personally led the cavalry of Heilongjiang to kill day and night, caught Guo Songling's army by surprise, and even blew up Guo Songling's army's ammunition depot in Baiqi Fort. Guo Songling's army was severely hit by this, and its morale was low, and rumors began to circulate among the soldiers that "eating the Zhang family, wearing the Zhang family, and following Guo Guizi to rebel is really a wrongdoer."

Zhang Xueliang took advantage of the situation to step up the work of plotting rebellion, and personally called the officer of Guo Songling's army, explaining the situation and saying that he was not to blame for the past, which caused Guo Songling's army to shake the whole front. Zou Zuohua, chief of staff of Guo Songling's army, who had long since been separated, had a telephone conversation with Zhang Xueliang through Dongying's consular branch in Xinmin, saying that he would no longer fight for Guo Songling.

That night, Guo Songling held a military meeting to discuss strategy, and the attitude of the generals was very unanimous. Zou Zuohua, Gao Jiyi and other generals strongly advocated an armistice and peace, while Jiyun, Fan Pujiang and others actively fought the war. Under such circumstances, Guo Songling still decided to fight to the death with Feng's army.

At dawn the next day, Guo Songling personally set up the head of the formation. Morale just picked up, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xueliang used the flyer dropped by the plane "Lao Zhang's family does not fight Lao Zhang's family" to greatly dissipate Guo Songling's army's military morale, never Zhang never left Guo, Guo did not leave Zhang, Guo Songling's soldiers are naturally Zhang Xueliang's soldiers, the old chiefs are here, what else can you say? The soldiers began to surrender. Of course, this is nothing in front of the stubborn Guo Songling, but what dealt a fatal blow to Guo Songling was that Zou Zuohua suddenly withdrew his artillery brigade and stopped the supply of bullets to the front line, and Guo Songling's army was defeated.

After the first battle of the Feng army, Guo Songling saw that the general trend had gone, and there was no chance to turn the tables, so he entrusted the army to Ji Yun, and then left with his wife Han Shuxiu and several staff members and more than 200 guards.

Seeing that Guo Songling had left, Zou Zuohua ordered all armies to stop the offensive and called Zhang Xueliang to report: "Guo Songling has left, and his subordinates have laid down their weapons." Now that everything is under control, please rest assured that the young marshal and the old marshal are at ease. So far, Guo Songling's anti-dedication has ended in failure after more than a month.

Looking at the surging river, Zhang Xueliang did not have the joy of victory, and muttered to himself full of worry: "Teacher, the student has finally defeated you, please go farther, the farther the better, maybe there will be a day of goodbye in this life, please ...... Please tell me what all this is for! ”
