In the heavy rain, in the stormy mountains and forests, Li Xuehua of the Jin army, Yang Yong of the Feng army, and Li Dangxian took advantage of the gap between the Japanese army and the attack, and seized the time to rest.

When Wang Chengbin was busy dealing with the assassination case in Jixian County, and when he was about to ask his cousin, Wu Jinglian, a pivotal figure in Beiyang politics and a four-time speaker of the National Assembly, Zhao Yun had already rushed to the easternmost border in the Northeast.

The Japanese invaders are coming! This news has not yet reached Jixian County, and the people of Jixian County are still immersed in the news of the victory of Tongxian County, but the Japanese army will only have an army invading all the way? Many people didn't believe it, but in the era when the news was closed, in order not to cause greater panic, and in order to buy more time for the Beiyang government in Jixian County to deal with the assassination case, Zhao Yun chose to "cover" the matter.

Covering, it was just a temporary strategy, in the face of the Japanese Far East Army's invasion of the Northeast, Zhao Yun urgently ordered Wang Huaiqing's team, "Go up and nail it there!" ”

So the three main regiments were picked out by Wang Huaiqing, got on the train, and traveled lightly from the brigade to Mudanjiang, where they received the light and heavy equipment that Zhao Yun had prepared for him.

The Jin Army's Li Xuehua Division, the Feng Army's Yang Yong Division, and Li Dangxian's Division, totaling more than 28,000 people, and in the information obtained before, the Japanese army only touched a few thousand people to cross the border, but because their numbers were very different, there is no exact number for the time being. According to the calculations of the Japanese army's strength in the Far East and the defensive positions in various places, the troops sent by the Japanese army and the strength of the Asada detachment will not be too different, and according to the conversion of 1:5 or 1:6 strength, this team of nearly 30,000 people can completely suppress the field.

There is a saying, how to say, the ideal is beautiful, the reality is cruel! When these three men and horses reached the east of the Mudanjiang River, they were faced with six wings of the Japanese army, a task force of nearly 20,000 people.

The Japanese soldiers were divided into six routes, like six sharp bayonets, and they poked these three into six big holes in one situation. The whole army of nearly 30,000 people was divided into more than ten pieces by the Japanese army, and they could not take care of each other at the end.

At this time, Wang Huaiqing's idea of "employing people as stupid" once again played a huge role, Li Xuehua of the Jin Army, Yang Yong of the Feng Army, and Li Dangxian, none of them were descendants of the Jin Army and the Feng Army, and they were all unknown small characters before that, and they were suddenly mentioned by Wang Huaiqing to the regiment-level cadres with a 10,000-person establishment, completely because of Wang Huaiqing's appetite.

And Wang Huaiqing's criteria for employing people are obvious to all, so the leaders of the Jin army and the Feng army, when they saw that the team had not changed their surnames, but it was just the transfer of several officers, they turned a blind eye and acquiesced.

At this moment when the two armies were completely mixed up, the different management concepts of the two armies of China and Japan were fully manifested.

The Japanese army pays attention to the step-by-step system, that is, the tall level crushes people to death, and the company-platoon-level cadres have absolute authority at the bottom of the army. The army in China is still in the warlord stage, and the platoon-level cadres can give orders except when they are fighting, and they directly ignore it the rest of the time, and many soldiers only know who their battalion commander is, who the regiment commander is, who their boss is, who pays them, and who they are soldiers for. Therefore, China is still following the path of warlords, divided into the Jin army and the Feng army, while the Japanese side has only one Japanese army loyal to the emperor.

Such a classification has nothing to do with the strength of the army, because if many strong soldiers and fierce generals dare not fight, they will only have to flee for their lives in front of the Japanese army, which is too many examples during the War of Resistance Against Japan. The Feng army, which has just been reorganized, has a lot of strong soldiers and a lot of strong generals, but the people's hearts are a little fluctuating, but the source of troops of Yang Yong's army and Li Kangxian's army is in the Mudanjiang area, and the three most important points of the warlords are money, guns, and territory. Among these three points, the last point is the most important, so when I heard that my hometown was killed by the Japanese army, after the propaganda of the Japanese army's atrocities before the start of the brigade, the soldiers of Yang Yongbu and Li Kangxian's department were already in a state of madness.

And Yang Yong and Li Dangxian also unconditionally carried out Wang Huaiqing's orders, and those subordinates who dared to chirp crookedly and had the intention to fight timidly, seeing that the top and bottom were concentric, they could only drive the ducks to the shelves and were forced to go back.

After an urgent replenishment, in the case that the equipment was not weaker than the Japanese army, and the two sides were fighting together, the Feng army first "went crazy"! Facing the bullets of the Japanese army, carrying submachine guns, and holding bayonets of "water beads", they rushed forward.

And the Japanese army did not show weakness and shouted "onboard" and fought together. In the vicinity of the encounters between the two sides, the bodies of both sides often changed hands, and the corpses of both sides lay on the slopes and in the woodlands.

Because these places had the fiercest fighting before, there were more corpses on the ground than anywhere else. And in addition to most of the Chinese Beiyang soldiers in blue uniforms, there are also many Japanese corpses in yellow uniforms. At first glance, one after another, it is impossible to count.

Generally speaking, the losses of the Chinese army are still greater than the Japanese army, after a day of fighting, the Feng army has been greatly injured, at night while the dark clouds are thick, Yang Yong and five hundred death squads, raided the Japanese army, but the Japanese army has been prepared, under the guidance of the high-power ship lights, the death squad is dead and wounded, and even Yang Yong is folded inside. As soon as Yang Yong died, Fengjun's courage was basically worn out, and the next day Fengjun was in a situation of being pressed and beaten.

It was precisely because of the critical situation of the war that Zhao Yun had to rush over in person. If these six Japanese armies were allowed to run rampant in the northeast, then the anti-Japanese enthusiasm that had been mustered up before would completely cease to exist.

However, before Zhao Yun arrived, the Huaxia army was not completely devoid of self-preservation, and Li Xuehua's troops of the Jin army were still in a state of unmoved soldiers and horses for the time being. This is not to say that there was collusion between the Jin army and the Japanese army, but the attitude of both sides caused this situation. On the Japanese side, they are the best at pulling one and playing another, so as not to flood the Chinese and create a feeling of being overwhelmed. On the other hand, the sudden "madness" of the Feng army also caused Li Xuehua to lose contact with the Feng army after collecting the various units of the Jin army that were scattered by the Japanese army. This does not refer to information contact, but to be separated by the Japanese army on the battlefield. The Japanese army wanted to eat the Feng army with the largest number of people first, and then turn around to deal with the Jin army. As is customary, many warlords in China don't mind the lives of their allies, and by the time they turn around against them, they've long since run out.

It's a pity that they forgot that the leaders of these three armies were all picked out by Wang Huaiqing, admitting death and carrying out orders. Li Xuehua gave up the usual shrewdness of the Shanxi people and the practice of preserving strength among the warlords, and braggedly carried out an extremely wasteful "all over the mountains" bombardment of the Japanese army, which was extremely wasteful in the eyes of the old critics in Shanxi.

It has to be said that the shrewdness of the Shanxi people created the accuracy of their shelling, although the order for the "covering" shelling was issued, the artillery of the Jin army still sent the shells to the heads of the Japanese in line with the principle of not wasting every shell, and it was Li Xuehua's "extravagant and wasteful" artillery battle that saved Li Dangxian's life and allowed him to take Yang Yong's remnants out of the encirclement by the way. Seeing that the beaked duck was flying, the Japanese high-level was annoyed and angry, and ordered all units to march quickly, but they surrounded Li Xuehua and them again.

At this time, the Jin army plus the Feng army still had more than 24,000 people, but the heavy weapons lost a lot, because the Japanese army had to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and drive away the fleeing Feng army stragglers, and only more than 16,000 came after the rapid march. Regardless of the darkness of the day, the Japanese army launched an attack, knowing that either it would be completely annihilated, or it would be captured and then carried to the experiment, the Jin army and the Feng army, stubbornly resisted the first three waves of the Japanese army's attack, and when the Japanese army was ready to attack again, the heavy rain that had been held in the sky for two or three days finally smashed down on the head.

The heavy rain at the end of summer was huge, and the raindrops the size of beans smashed on the face, and it hurt.

"Top up, nail there!" Li Xuehua muttered this order, and watched distressedly as the lives of several seriously injured members of the Jin army quietly came to an end in the torrential rain. At this time, Li Xuehua could only wipe his tears secretly, not because he didn't want to vent, but because compared with the Jin army, the casualties of the Feng army were greater. Li Dangxian was even busier than Li Xuehua, and while appeasing Yang Yong's remnants, he had to take care of his own team.

Seemingly in the first engagement, the Chinese side lost only 4,000 men. But more numbers appeared in the wounded column, a team of nearly 30,000 people, after two days of fierce fighting, could already remove 10,000 people, and there were less than 20,000 available soldiers. This also includes logistics and baggage personnel. Generally speaking, if the losses are less than 10%, or even half of the warlords, the army will be dispersed. The loss this time is more than 30%, and everyone is still struggling, one is because of the national war, and the other is that the domestic treatment of soldiers is dead, and there are better conditions, and there will be no more blood, sweat and tears.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that good men are not soldiers, and good iron is not nailed, and many soldiers who join the warlord team are either strong men or have no skills in society, and they can't get along with their lives, so they carry guns and eat salaries. These are troubled times, and being a soldier is not better than being a bandit. The domestic warlords fought together, and once they broke up, many people pulled the team up the mountain to become bandits, and when they were recruited, they became soldiers again. Therefore, in the era of warlord melee, the difference between soldiers and bandits was not obvious. Especially on the territory of Zhang Huzi, you want the upper beam to be wrong, can the lower beam not be crooked? Therefore, many Feng soldiers had the intention of drilling into the mountains if they couldn't beat them and becoming the king of the mountain. When the Chinese army came back in what year, then he would be a "hero" who insisted on resisting Japan behind enemy lines.

But after the Battle of Luda, Zhao Yun made a "ruthless move" against the phenomenon that the Feng army did not contribute to the work. The rice and white noodles that died in the battle, and he was not stingy, anyway, Zhao Yun had a camp behind him, and he didn't panic when he had food in his hands. In this year of food shortage, rice and white flour are the best hard currency. For those soldiers who "deserted", camp warriors were sent to chase and kill day and night, as long as they did not return within the time limit, and there was no suitable reason, they all came to see them.
