Although the mobilization system of the Japanese army was not as fast as that of the Western powers, it was one of the best in the East. Numerous reservists received call-up orders and began to go to the barracks.

In three days at most, tens of thousands of Japanese troops can be mobilized. According to the plans of the Japanese War Ministry, these units were to be transported first to the Kwantung region and North Korea. Among them, the 2nd Division of Kwantung Prefecture will be supplemented first, followed by the 3rd Division and the 4th Division of the North Korean Army.

According to the battle plan submitted by General Ao Baogong, chief of staff of the Japanese army, after the 2nd Division is fully manned, it will arrive in Shengjing City by train, join the two independent brigades with the participation of the Japanese Railway Garrison Brigade, and fight a fierce battle with the Jilin Army here to attract the main force of the Jilin Army. After that, the 3rd Division and the 10th Division of the North Korean Army will cooperate with the 2nd Division to annihilate the main force of the Jilin Army in one fell swoop. And Zhang Yuting's Feng army will fully cooperate with the actions of the Japanese army.

The plan put forward by General Ao Baogong was obviously intended to eliminate the main force of the Jilin Army under Shengjing City. This means that the great war will be fought in Shengjing City. Shengjing is the largest city in the Northeast, and if Jilin wants to unify the Northeast, it must capture this city. Therefore, the Japanese army wanted to use Shengjing as bait to fish for the main force of the Jilin Army.

However, there is also a loophole in this plan, and that is the time difference. At present, there are only two independent garrison brigades of the Japanese army in Shengjing City, less than 2,000 people. In addition, there are two independent brigades of the Feng army, more than 12,000 people. It is simply impossible to resist the attack of the Jilin Army with such a small number of troops. Of course, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters did not think so. They were confident that with two independent Japanese troops and more than 10,000 Feng troops, they would be able to completely resist the Jilin Army in the case of defensive operations.

What's more, the main forces of the Feng army in Rehe can also be transferred back. In a week at most, the 2nd Division could set off and advance all the way north. The North Korean army is slightly slower, plus North Korea is mountainous and inaccessible. If the North Korean army wants to go into battle, I am afraid it will take half a month or more.

It was not that the Japanese army did not fail to consider whether the dispersion of troops would be broken by the Jilin Army. However, General Ao Baogong and others all believed that with the strength of the Jilin Army, it was absolutely impossible to eat a complete infantry division of the Japanese army. The Jilin Army was nothing more than the troops of the local warlords, and it did not have such a good appetite.

After the battle plan of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters was sent to the Kwantung Prefecture and the Korean Army Headquarters, the Japanese troops in these two places immediately went into action. At the same time, the General Staff Headquarters also gave an order to Goto Shinpei, the president of the Manchurian Railway, who was still in Shengjing, asking him to persuade Zhang Yuting to defend Shengjing.

In the Fengtian Governor's Mansion, the clansmen and servants of the Zhang family were packing up and preparing to flee from Shengjing. Zhang Yuting has been an overseer for more than a year, and he has also collected a lot of land in Mukden, so that there are too many things to take away, and the carriages are loaded with more than a dozen carts.

Even the Overseers were about to flee, and so were the rest of the people in Shengjing City. There have been rumors in the city that Wu Dashuai's army in the north is coming, and Zhang Dashuai may not be able to resist it! Escape from Shengjing as soon as possible, this is the most important thing.

The Russo-Japanese War, which ended just over a year ago, made all the Shengjing people unforgettable, and they were afraid of another military disaster, so they naturally wanted to flee here. This directly led to the people of Shengjing City escaping in a very short period of time. A large number of people and children left Shengjing City in horse-drawn carts, ox carts, donkey carts, or on foot, and went to the countryside to join relatives and escape the war. The most prosperous city in the Northeast suddenly became deserted.

Regarding the departure of the common people, Zhang Yuting's Feng army did not stop it. After all, the vast majority of the soldiers of the Fengjun army were from Mukden. Zhang Yuting naturally didn't want to cause casualties among the people. He wanted to retake it.

It's just that when Zhang Yuting was about to leave, Goto Xinping, an old devil, came to the door again.

"Your Excellency, looking at your posture, are you planning to give up Shengjing City?" Goto Shinpei asked.

"Your Excellency President, this is a last resort! Wu Xingquan is menacing, I only have two independent brigades in my hands now, and the number of troops is too small to compete with them! It's better to go to Jinzhou first, gather the main force of the Feng army, and then find a way. Zhang Yuting did not hide it. After all, the Japanese have become his backers, and if he wants to recapture Shengjing City in the future, he will inevitably need the support of the Japanese.

"Your Excellency, Shengjing City is the largest city in the Northeast and the first strong city! It's a shame to give up like this. It's not so easy to get it back later. Moreover, the Jilin Army is menacing, but if the commander is in charge, it may not be impossible to resist the Jilin Army. The Empire of Japan will be on the side of the Great Marshal and help you hold the city of Shengjing. Our two independent railway garrison brigades will take part in the defensive operations of Shengjing City. Goto Shinpei said solemnly.

Zhang Yuting was stunned for a moment, a little unsure of what these little devils were thinking. Goto Shinpei, an old devil, assured him again and again that if the Japanese army came forward to block the main transportation routes, the Jilin Army would not be able to defeat it. Who knows, the Jilin Army did not give them face at all, and even eliminated thousands of Japanese soldiers. Now he is asked to guard the Shengjing City, isn't that to use him as cannon fodder?

"Your Excellency, to tell you the truth, the Imperial Cabinet has made a decision to send troops into the Northeast to deal with Jilin. We will send a total of five divisions and 120,000 men to fight against the Jilin Army. Do you think that the Jilin Army will be able to defeat the Imperial Japanese Army? Goto Shinpei smiled.

Zhang Yuting couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, these little devils are really serious. More than 100,000 people will be dispatched! Although the Jilin Army has a lot of troops, I am afraid that it is only a few hundred thousand. In the face of 120,000 little devils, the Jilin Army will definitely not be able to defeat it. If he wants to secure the position of the king of the Northeast, he will inevitably need to hug the thighs of these Japanese.

"Your Excellency, when will the reinforcements of the Japanese Army arrive in Tohoku?" Zhang Yuting asked. Although he is a little excited, he is not stupid. If these little Japan were going to use his Fengjun as cannon fodder, it would be impossible.

"Within a week, the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, stationed in Kanto Prefecture, will leave for Shengjing. Within half a month, the 3rd and 10th Divisions of the North Korean Army will also leave for the northeast. In other words, we only need to hold Shengjing City for ten days at most. Goto Shinpei said.

"Ten days? I'm afraid it's not easy. My two independent brigades plus your two independent garrison brigades are only 14,000 men in total. I am afraid that there will be 100,000 troops dispatched by the Jilin Army. Zhang Yuting's face was a little ugly.

"Your Excellency the Marshal can transfer troops back to Shengjing from Rehe. As long as tens of thousands of Fengjun troops return to help, it should not be a problem to survive ten days. At that time, the Jilin army gathered in Shengjing City, and the imperial army took advantage of this battle to destroy their main force. When the time comes, won't the entire Northeast be yours? Goto Shinpei continued.

A hint of joy flashed in Zhang Yuting's eyes, Feng Linge has only half a life left after being beaten now, as long as Wu Xingquan is solved, then this northeast is really his world.

"Then what about Feng Linge? Will you just let him go? Zhang Yuting was a little unwilling. He regarded Feng Linge as his opponent, and now he was about to deal with Feng Linge, if he withdrew his troops, it would undoubtedly give Feng Linge a chance to breathe.

"Feng Lin Pavilion can be put aside for a while. After defeating Wu Xingquan, are you still afraid of a small Feng Linge? Now, it's just a temporary spare. ”

Zhang Yuting lowered his head and pondered for a while, and after weighing the gains and losses, he finally nodded. For him, the temptation to be the king of the Northeast was too great, and he couldn't refuse it at all.

"Haha! Very well, Your Excellency, you have made the right choice. In three months at most, you will become the king of the Northeast. Goto Shinpei said with a smile. He was very satisfied with Zhang Yuting's performance.

"Your Excellency, after I unify the Northeast, I will definitely guarantee the interests of the Japanese Empire in the Northeast." Zhang Yuting immediately reciprocated, and now, he has completely boarded the Japanese thief ship and can no longer get down.

After receiving the assurances of the Japanese, Zhang Yuting immediately ordered the main force of the Feng army besieging Chengde to return to Shengjing. Although, this made the generals on the front line a little dissatisfied, and they saw that they were about to enter Chengde, but now they fell short. However, it's still the nest that matters! Therefore, Yang Tingyu and Zhang Fuchen and others are worth leading the army back.

From Chengde to Shengjing, there are hundreds of kilometers away. At the speed of the Feng army, it is simply impossible not to go for ten days and a half months. Even if it is a rapid march, I am afraid it will take a long time. At this moment, several infantry divisions of the Jilin Army are not far from Shengjing City.

The 4th and 5th Infantry Divisions of the Jilin Army captured Tieling on August 20, and then marched south along the railway line to Shengjing City. The 2nd Infantry Division also captured Fushun on 20 August, not far from Shengjing City. As for the 1st Infantry Division, after moving south from Tonghua, it went straight to Benxi and Anshan, and would not participate in the attack on Shengjing City. Of course, if the Japanese army advanced from the Liaodong Peninsula to Shengjing City, the 1st Infantry Division would also have to bear the heavy responsibility of blocking the Japanese army.

The second batch of the 3rd Infantry Division, the 6th Infantry Division, the 7th Infantry Division, and the 8th Infantry Division, as well as instructors, also marched from Jilin to Mukden one after another. There were nine infantry divisions with more than 160,000 men.
