The 100,000-strong army was like a torrent of steel, passing through the Central Plains, and after half a month of arduous trekking, it finally arrived at Yingkou and joined the first and third divisions led by Wu Erzhu.

Due to the urgency of time, only temporary tents can be set up, even if it is the command headquarters, it is also a field military tent, at this time in the headquarters of the Huafu Army, a meeting is being held, this is the first military meeting after the assembly of troops today.

"We have sent scouts in the early stage, coupled with the information provided by our local intelligence officers, we already have a general understanding of the battle situation between the Northeast Army and the Japanese army." "The purpose of the Japanese army is relatively clear, that is, they want to go deep into the interior and come in to make trouble, so they don't want to attack the city and pull out the village, so they directly take the road and march in the direction of Benxi."

"The Northeast Army can't be blocked now, it can't be beaten, and it will be withdrawn all the way to stop and stop."

"As for the Japanese, they are not in a hurry to attack anywhere, they just keep moving forward, and if the Northeast Army intercepts them, they will fight a dozen." First of all, Chief of Staff Cheng Quande introduced the current situation on the front line.

"This doesn't meet the requirements of tactics and strategy, just fighting aimlessly, isn't this looking for your own death." Gao Yi, the commander of the armored division, spoke.

"We guess that the Japanese probably feel that there is no hope, and they received a strict order from the Japanese Mainland Command, and they probably realized that they have become outcasts, and they are now unable to advance or retreat, so they can only fight slowly like this to see what a turnaround there is in the later stage." Wu Erzhu said.

In the past two days, a few of them have nothing to do and analyzed the current situation, this Japanese unit, alone outside, can actually play a small role, if they push out of the Republic of China, push to the territory of Korea. It is estimated that there is still a chance to breathe, after all, their troops are not small, and there is no problem in controlling North Korea.

But now, in order to relieve its own pressure, Japan has forced this army to enter the Republic of China, which is definitely a dizzying trick, and most of the lonely troops will be completely wiped out.

And now the commander of this unit. Aware of the fate of going deep, but not disobeying the domestic military orders, he adopted this mode of fighting by grinding foreign workers, advancing slowly, not attacking the city, sweeping around the periphery and then moving inland, but the movement was not fast.

If we had followed the mode of advancing troops without attacking the city, there would have been absolutely no problem in advancing dozens of miles a day, but now the Japanese army has indeed passed ten days. However, the march is about 100 miles, and the average day is only 10 miles.

During this period, the Northeast Army and the Japanese army exchanged fire several times, and the Northeast Army was indeed not the opponent of the Japanese army, and the losses were not small, but fortunately, the Japanese army did not desperately stance, but only advanced forward according to its own strategy, so the Northeast Army still had time to breathe and deploy. Otherwise, it is uncertain whether the army will be routed.

"Shall we send troops now?"

"His Majesty means to stabilize the position first, and the Northeast Army will still die for a while. Besides, Zhang Zuolin has a lot of ambitions, he used to intend to take refuge in the Japanese, but now let him suffer a little guilt, consume some strength, see the gap between them and the Japanese, and wait for us to defeat the Japanese army. Let them know the strength of our Huafu Army. ”

"Now it seems that the Japanese army is also relatively slippery, and there is a posture of retracting at any time, we can't let them come and go as they want, we have the advantage of numbers. There is also a great advantage in weapons and equipment, I am ready to give them a pocket formation, directly load them into it and annihilate them all, and we will also clear the obstacles for our march into North Korea once and for all. Wu Erzhu said.

Everyone felt that this method was feasible, and several people began to study the route of arranging troops, preparing to directly have a pocket tactic on the Liaodong Plain.

The staff officers went to study specific tactics, and Wu Erzhu said to several major military commanders: "When I came, His Majesty also ordered something that we need to do well, because this is related to the control of North Korea in the future, and even the influence on the Northeast." ”

Several people looked at Wu Erzhu curiously, waiting for his next words.

Strictly speaking, Manchurian Railway is a super-large group company with assets of about 400 million yen, not only operating railways, but also water transportation, coal mines, metallurgy, electrical, agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry."

"According to the treaty signed, the Manchurian Railway has the full right to use the attached land along the railway line from 16 meters to 3,000 meters, and can garrison troops, which is why Japan was able to station a large number of troops in Manchuria."

"Up to now, the Manchurian Railway has built a total of 3,000 kilometers of railways in the territory of the Republic of China, and has run through all the railway lines from North Korea to the Northeast to Beijing.

"When I came, His Majesty explained to me, asking us to take the ownership of the Manchurian Railway, whether it was to force the other party to sign or to occupy it by force, anyway, we can't let this big fat slipped out of our hands."

Wu Erzhu's words made the eyes of these division commanders light up, they originally thought that this trip was a loss-making deal, but it seems that their boss, the backhand of His Majesty King Guo Yu, is here.

"When we sent troops to the Northeast, the government of the Republic of China did not pay a penny of military spending, so I said that we can't run in vain, or we will take the opportunity to occupy the Northeast, and after reimbursing the Japanese, we will directly give the Northeast Army a charge, and it is estimated that those guys will disperse, and the Northeast is not in the hands of our Huafu Army." Yao Rongguang said loudly.

"If we occupy the place, it is not good in name, even if it is Qingdao, it is just the right to use a seaport, nominally Qingdao is still owned by the government of the Republic of China, and here in the northeast, it is even more difficult for us to directly meddle in the affairs of the government, there are too many things involved, the government of the Republic of China, Zhang Zuolin of the Northeast Army, or the explanation to the outside world, we are not allowed to directly occupy the northeast."

"The Manchurian Railway is the industry of the Japanese, we have won the battle against the Japanese, and we have occupied the Japanese industry, no one can say anything, our main goal is to occupy Korea, which is the occupied area of the Japanese, and after we occupy Korea, the role of the Manchurian Railway will be highlighted, and it will become much easier to communicate with the Republic of China," Wu Erzhu explained.

The Manchurian Railway is only one of the targets, all the Japanese industries in the Northeast have been classified into the pocket of the Huafu Army, others don't want to get involved, those banks, mines, and Japanese-funded enterprises will be the targets of the Huafu Army, and the military discipline of the Huafu Army is that they will never harass the people, but this people will never include the Japanese.

Now in the eyes of the commanders of these divisions of the Huafu Army, the Japanese are the goal of the large-scale robbery, you know, although the military expenses allocated by the Huafu Army are relatively sufficient, but who doesn't want to keep two more advance money in their hands, Guo Yu said, divided into regional operations, 30% of the income of the troops belongs to the divisions and regiments, which can be used to improve the life and facilities of the troops, and the rest are managed by the military department in a unified manner.

Don't look at only 30 percent, but if you calculate it carefully, this is a huge amount, the Japanese have invested a lot in Northeast China over the years, and 30 percent will also make the life of these division commanders extremely rich.

Of course, the biggest benefit is still left to Guo Yu, who calls him the boss, Mantie is naturally owned by Guo Yu, hehe, in fact, these are not all owned by Guo Yu.

After the Huafu army assembled at Yingkou, it rested in place for two days, and began to move troops in the early morning of the third day, and several divisions were directly marched into Liaodong according to the plan.

Although the severe cold and heavy snow brought a lot of inconvenience to the troops, which greatly reduced the speed of the march, the Huafu army was not in a hurry, and there was still the Northeast Army in front of it.

The Huafu army has big roads instead of small roads, and there are highways without dirt roads, and it doesn't matter if you go farther, but you can't let the armored troops fall into a situation where there is no way out, then it will be troublesome.

Zhang Qiu sat in the truck, his body swayed and swayed with the car, his mouth kept exhaling white air, stomped his slightly numb feet, grinned and said with a stiff mouth, "This ghost weather in the Northeast is really freezing to death, squad leader, let's smoke a cigarette." ”

"You kid complains, when I used to be a soldier in other warlords, the march was not treated as a car, even the regiment commander did not necessarily have a car, he had to ride a horse and march with the troops, we can run in a car now, you can be content."

The squad leader took out a cigarette and threw it to Zhang Qiu, looked at a few smiling guys next to him, directly took out one himself, threw the rest directly to them, took out a lighter and lit it himself, and smoked it.

Meimei took a sip, felt that her body was warmer, and said to the young soldiers under her command: "Our new Eighth Division has just been formed for a short time, and most of you are babies who have just dropped their hoes to join the army, and you don't know the hardships of being a soldier elsewhere." ”

The squad leader began to say, in fact, as a squad leader, he has the obligation and responsibility to educate his soldiers, which is also required by the military regulations of Huafu Army, he used to be an ordinary soldier in the third division, because he learned some culture and some brains, when he expanded the army, he was appointed to the new eighth division as a squad leader.

"I used to be a soldier in Zhejiang, you may know, it was the year before last when our Huafu Army was first established, there were only tens of thousands of people, four divisions and regiments attacked the Huafu Army on three sides, and finally were beaten by our old division, I was captured at that time, at first I thought I was finished, it is estimated that the guy who eats can't keep it, who knows, this time the prisoner, to let us hand over the big luck, joined the Huafu Army."

The soldiers on the side were smoking cigarettes and listening to their squad leaders tell the story of their troops, which was very interesting.

"What did I eat in the army before, two thin slices of nests for each meal, the hole in the heart of the nest, I can't reach the end, you say how can we eat enough with such strong laborers, as for the vegetables, don't think about it, it's good to have a pickle head."

"Then pay the money to improve yourself?"

"What do you say, pay silver, I sue you a baby, I have been a soldier for three years, I have been paid twice in the silver, each time an ocean, can I spend it myself, there is still an old lady at home, although my brother raises it, but we can't ignore this family, we have sent it to the family, if you want to improve, pull your fingers yourself." (To be continued......)
