At the Jinzhou Railway Station, the train coming from the north arrived at the station with the whine of the whistle, and after the door opened, the heavily armed soldiers of the Jilin Army got off the train. They began to march in a procession on the platform, and then rushed to the predetermined assembly place.

After receiving Wu Haoxuan's order, the 9th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army, which was originally stationed in the north, immediately moved south day and night. Fortunately, most of the South Manchurian Railway is now under the control of the Jilin Army, and they can use the railway to quickly transfer troops. In less than three days, more than 18,000 men of the 9th Infantry Division were transferred from the north to Jinzhou.

The division's reconnaissance battalion and the 91st Infantry Regiment, as the vanguard of the whole division, were the first to arrive in Jinzhou. After arriving in Jinzhou, the 91st Infantry Regiment went directly to the south of Jinzhou to build a defensive line, preparing to resist the attack of the 1st Town of the Beiyang Army and the 28th Town of Feng Linge.

When the Jilin Army was building a defensive line, the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge's 28th Town were still on the way. Their marching speed is simply not comparable to that of the Jilin Army. It is estimated that after the 9th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army arrived in Jinzhou, they would not have arrived.

The division headquarters of the 9th Infantry Division was set up in Jinzhou City. Moreover, the people in the city did not evacuate this time. First, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and many people are reluctant to leave their homeland. Another reason is that the Jilin Army did not take the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge's troops into account at all. Although the strength of the 9th Infantry Division was less than that of the 1st and 28th Towns of Beiyang, only about 70% of the opponent's. However, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is fundamentally not the same. Zhang Haipeng, commander of the 9th Infantry Division, assured Wu Haoxuan that with the 9th Infantry Division there, the Beiyang Army would not think about taking a step forward. Of course, Wu Haoxuan's goal was not only to resist the Beiyang Army in Jinzhou, but to hope that the 9th Infantry Division could defeat the Beiyang Army in one fell swoop. If you can take the opportunity to seize Shanhaiguan. That couldn't be better.

"Chief of Staff, are all our troops in place? When will the troops of the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge be able to reach Jinzhou? Major General Zhang Haipeng asked. Originally, in this war, the 9th Infantry Division, the 10th Infantry Division and the 11th Infantry Division were all troops defending their homes, and they couldn't make any battles at all. This made Major General Zhang Haipeng very depressed.

Unexpectedly. This time, the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge will send it to the door by themselves, which undoubtedly gives him a chance to play! Although the opponents are the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge, it is not a murderous little Japan. However, it is already very good to fight again, where can you pick and choose?

"Division commander, the last train has arrived, and the whole division is full. As for the troops of the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge, they are still a hundred miles away, and they are expected to be the day after tomorrow. They will arrive in Jinzhou. The 91st Infantry Regiment was already deployed on the front line of the Xiaoling River. If the Beiyang Army wants to enter Jinzhou, it is simply impossible. Colonel Du Heng, chief of staff of the division, said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid that the Beiyang Army will enter Jinzhou, I'm afraid that they will run away! Tell Liu Enge's kid to fight leisurely and don't scare the guests away. This time, if I don't annihilate the main forces of the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge under the city of Jinzhou, this trip will be considered for nothing. Major General Zhang Haipeng said.

"Yes, Commander." Du Heng smiled.

Arguably. For this battle, the 9th Infantry Division was full of confidence from top to bottom. Several other infantry divisions were fighting with Little Japan. And it also has the upper hand. If they can't even defeat the rabble of the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge, it will be too faceless.

The Xiaoling River front, the defense line of the 91st Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army. They dug a trench along the Xiaoling River, and then pulled barbed wire in front of the trench, which constituted the proposed fortifications. Because it's not about fighting the Japanese. So the fortifications were extremely simple. In order to send the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge's troops to death, Colonel Liu Enge did not even order the blowing up of several bridges on the Xiaoling River, but used these bridges as a key place for defense. On the opposite side of the bridge, a machine-gun fire point with sandbags was built to attract the Beiyang army to seize the bridge, thus inflicting heavy damage on them. Another case on the bridge. It was a mortar position, which could provide ample artillery support for the defenders on the other side of the bridge.

It can be said that everything is now ready, and only the troops of the Beiyang Army and Feng Linge are owed to send them to death.

The 9th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army waited until September 15, when the 1st Town of the Beiyang Army and the 28th Town of Feng Linge were late. And, when they arrived at Matsuyama Town, they stopped advancing. This is really a grievance against the 1st town of the Beiyang Army and the 28th town of Feng Linge! This is entirely because the Jilin Army has fought too hard these days, and even small Japan has suffered a big loss. Therefore, He Zonglian and Feng Linge, the commanders of the 1st Town of the Beiyang Army, were both frightened. Especially after hearing that the troops of the Jilin Army have been stationed in Jinzhou City, it is a little difficult to advance or retreat.

In the headquarters of the 1st town of the Beiyang Army, He Zonglian and Dong Shiting, the chief of staff, plus Feng Linge, the commander of the 28th town, and Qin Hua, the chief of staff, began to study the situation.

"Brother Feng, tell me the truth to my brother, is this Jilin Army really that powerful? If they really have the power of the legend, then do they still need to fight this battle? More than 20,000 of us, that is, the size of a division of the Japanese, is not enough for the Jilin Army to eat in one bite! He Zonglian said with a sad face. He never felt that it was a good job to lead an army out of the customs to fight. Especially on the way here, he got more and more news of the Japanese army's defeat in Liaodong, which made his heart beat even more, and he was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of the Japanese.

"Brother He, brother, I don't know about the Jilin Army, I only know that Zhang Yuting's tens of thousands of troops are planted in their hands. As for their battle with the Japanese in Liaodong, there is too much news, and I don't know if it's true or not. Feng Linge shook his head. He also felt a bit of a dilemma, he had known that he would not agree to Yuan Datou's conditions, and now that he was on the thief ship, even if he wanted to get off the ship, it was impossible.

"In my opinion, the Jilin Army should still have two brushes. Otherwise, they would have been defeated by the Japanese. Dong Shiting said. The Beiyang Army has always been considered to be a first-class force in China. But if they were to go to war with the Japanese, not to mention that they really fought, even if they showed this meaning, it was estimated that they would be able to scare them half to death.

"So what are we going to do with this battle? The troops stationed in Jinzhou by the Jilin Army have five or six thousand troops, and if their combat effectiveness is too strong, they will probably be difficult to deal with. He Zonglian asked. Because after the 9th Infantry Division entered Jinzhou, it had blocked the main communication routes, so that the Beiyang Army could not figure out the reality of the city at all, and could only roughly guess how many troops there were in the city.

"Didn't the previous report say that the main forces of the Jilin Army were trapped in Liaodong and fought a bloody battle with the Japanese? According to his subordinates, the army in Jinzhou City is probably just a rabble recruited temporarily. After all, the Japanese are not easy to deal with. Even if the Jilin Army can fight on a par with the Japanese, I am afraid that it has already done its best. If they had spare strength, with the style of the Jilin Army, I am afraid that they would have taken the initiative to attack a long time ago. Qin Hua said.

There is a truth in that. Is Little Japan easy to deal with? I think that back then, during the First Sino-Japanese War, Lao Tzu led hundreds of people in the bloody battle between Niuzhuang and Little Japan, but he was almost reimbursed there. The Japanese, although shorter, are very strong. In addition, their marksmanship is very accurate, and they are even more fearless of death when they fight. Such an army is worthy of being the first class in the world. I don't believe that the Jilin Army was able to fight the Japanese Army in just one year. Even if they really resisted the Japanese attack, their own losses would certainly not be small. He Zonglian said.

As a fierce general who fought against the Japanese during the Sino-Japanese War, he was still quite capable of fighting when he was young. It's a pity that over the years, the officials have become bigger and bigger, but their courage and ability have become smaller and smaller.

"Brother He is right, maybe we are facing a rabble of the Jilin Army. They're just trying to scare us. Fortunately, Brother He was sharp-eyed and could see their reality clearly at once. Feng Linge hurriedly patted his ass.

Although they are all under the control of a town, he is even more of a prince. However, compared with He Zonglian, he, a person from a bearded background, is obviously not as good as He Zonglian. What's more, his 28th town was heavily damaged by Zhang Yuting before, and now although it is fully replenished, not only is there a shortage of weapons and equipment, but the training and morale of the soldiers cannot be compared with the beginning. It can't be compared with the first town of Beiyang under He Zonglian.

Although, the first town of Beiyang is also a unit with poor combat effectiveness among the towns of the Beiyang Army. But after all, it is one of the Beiyang powerhouses! Whether it is equipment or combat effectiveness, it is not comparable to his 28th town. Therefore, this battle is obviously based on He Zonglian's opinion.

"Lord Commander, depending on your subordinates, the safest way is to wait for the troops in the pass to arrive before launching an attack. However, the bastards didn't know when they would be able to arrive. Your Excellency the Prime Minister is in a hurry again, and if we do not move, I am afraid that we will not be able to explain to the Prime Minister. Dong Shiting said.

This time, in order to destroy the Jilin Army, Beiyang can be regarded as taking out the main force, and even the war in the south has stopped. However, the movement of troops takes time. The fighter plane is fleeting, and the 1st and 28th towns of Beiyang, if they do not move and delay in launching an attack, once Yuan Datou launches a fire, it will not be easy to do. So, this battle still has to be fought. (To be continued......)
