Tu Qianjun didn't speak, just listened quietly to Zhang Zongchang's narration. Because once their troops are insufficient, then they will swallow Jinan City in one go, causing them to suffer from the enemy on their backs. As long as he can be nailed to Jinan City, then he can reduce the pressure on An ** for the entire battle situation. "On the Japanese side, I will refuse, and there will not be many people left." Saying that, Zhang Zongchang smiled and said: "I asked Nekaev, and he told me that even if he commanded all my Lu troops to go together, he would not be sure to take your position." At most, it is a siege. Listening to Zhang Zongchang's words, Tu Qianjun grinned. Since I came to this Zhonggong Town, almost all of the fortifications I have built are permanent, and almost all the trenches and field command posts that I dug deep in a few months have been pasted with cement at any cost! Before coming here, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Zhengzhi actually sent back the four engineering graduates who were dug up, so with these four professional engineering students, Tu Qianjun's four battalions built field fortifications even more! Even the fierce Tu Qianjun marked all the artillery firing Zhuyuan around his defensive ground and in Jinan City, and the positions of those artillery all had defensive fortifications, and they were pulled back to the hidden fortifications after the battle was launched. What are the other wave tunnels, battle tunnels, cantonment tunnels, ambulance tunnels, ammunition and material tunnels, traffic tunnels...... The defensive position built up is enough to give a pot of drink to any army that has always been begging for wildfire! Those submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns have also been assigned to the front-line trenches, and even the Shuijing Tu Qianjun has dug more than twenty holes in the town! The hoarding of food, ammunition, and wound medicine, Tu Qianjun even felt that in this era without missiles, even if he was given a carpet bombing, he could get through it with those fortifications! Maybe he can still fight a Shangganling-style battle, then Nekaev is estimated to be a veteran who participated in the First World War, and he naturally knows that he is powerful when he looks at his construction of these fortifications for several months in a row, but the newcomer Northern Expeditionary Army is estimated to suffer a big loss as soon as he gets started! I can't tell how many people I have to leave behind to know how powerful this formation is. "What I want to know is, are you sure to hold this Jinan City?!" Zhang Zongchang suddenly looked at Tu Qianjun with burning eyes and said slowly. "Nope." Tu Qianjun didn't say anything big, but shook his head. But then he said: "But if the Northern Expeditionary Army comes, I can make them inseparable from this Jinan City!" Even if they were to eat me, it would have to shed three pounds of blood! Listening to Tu Qianjun's words, Zhang Zongchang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed! patted Tu Qianjun on the shoulder, Zhang Zongchang smiled and said, "Go back and prepare!" I'm also going to withdraw, and I'll hand over the White Russian regiment to you. In a moment I asked Nekaev to come to you with their men. Tu Qianjun was stunned when he heard this! Does he know that this White Russian army regiment is my trump card in Zhang Zongchang's hand! The positions that could not be taken were all taken by this legion, and the slopes that could not be captured were also captured by this legion! How could he be willing to give this legion to himself?! "I'm about to become a lost dog now, and I can't afford to raise this legion." As if seeing Tu Qianjun's doubts, Zhang Zongchang said with a smile: "It's too wasteful to dismiss them, let them be cannon fodder but can't be ruthless." Simply, let them fight with you for a way to live! If you can break out this time, you will also have a place in the ** back to An**. At least I can take care of them, and it can be regarded as a whole of their love for working hard with me for so many years. Tu Qianjun sighed secretly, it is true that this Zhang Zongchang is true in the wild history! You must know that Zhang Zongchang of this army did not even think of using them as cannon fodder even when he was defeated, and in the end these White Russians were disbanded after Zhang Zongchang fled to Japan. But there are few who end well, and most of them died tragically without Zhang Zongchang's backer. Saying that, Zhang Zongchang waved his hand and asked Tu Qianjun to retire on his own. Tu Qianjun didn't say anything, and after giving a military salute to Zhang Zongchang, he withdrew from the study. Outside the study, Nekaev was already waiting for him, and when he saw Tu Qianjun come out, Nekaev solemnly saluted a Russian-style military salute and said loudly in standard Chinese. "Nekayev, commander of the White Russian Army of the Zhilu Alliance, reports to the commander!" Tu Qianjun looked at Nekaev, who was saluting him, and returned a military salute with a smile, and said, "Come with me!" But I want to tell you, it's not as easy to follow me as it is to follow Commander Zhang Zongchang. Nekaev smiled when he heard this, and said, "I used to be a professional soldier, and I didn't stop training even when I was under Commander Zhang. However, the military discipline is a little loose. Tu Qianjun nodded when he heard this, then patted Nekaev on the shoulder and walked out of Zhang Zongchang's mansion. Outside Zhang Zongchang's mansion, the White Russian army had already assembled, and slowly returned to Zhonggong Town with their weapons and the supplies and ordnance that Zhang Zongchang had allocated to Tu Qianjun. When Tu Qianjun saw the list of ordnance that Zhang Zongchang gave him, he couldn't help but gasp! Ten Japanese Type 38 150mm howitzers, one hundred Japanese Type 11 light machine guns, ten 13 Year 13 heavy machine guns, and five hundred American Type 1921 Thomson submachine guns! Tu Qianjun couldn't help but sigh for a while! Zhang Zongchang, this old boy, has such strong firepower, why bother to give it to himself instead of fighting with the Northern Expeditionary Army?! But after thinking about it, it should be, after all, the combat effectiveness of his Zhilu coalition army is really scum! Even if you hold the best things, they are just the ingredients for delivering food, which has the effect of Jiang Bald's head being red later. And among them, the most pleasing thing for Tu Qianjun is these ten Japanese Type 38 150mm howitzers! The howitzer has a short barrel, a curved trajectory, and a firing angle of 45 degrees, up to 70 degrees, so it is especially suitable for suppressing and annihilating the enemy's living forces and destroying engineering facilities! The mortar equipped with Tu Qianjun was a smoothbore curved front-loading gun that used the bottom plate to withstand the recoil generated by firing tail shells and fired at a high angle of fire, mainly used to attack targets behind bunkers and destroy field fortifications. In comparison, this howitzer is more suitable for Tu Qianjun's defensive counterattack function this time. Moreover, the Type 38 150mm howitzer donated by Zhang Zongchang not only has a large caliber, but also has a muzzle velocity of 275 m/s and a maximum range of 5900 meters! In other words, Tu Qianjun can sweep the entire Jinan City in his Zhonggong Town, and fight wherever he wants! You must know that the range of Zhang Zuolin's mortar for Tu Qianjun is only 3,143 meters. In comparison, naturally these ten Japanese Type 38 150mm howitzers made Tu Qianjun even more happy!
