Chapter 156: Dividing the Grassland

How can the puppet Mongolian army that was sold by the Japanese army still have the courage to fight, almost as soon as he saw Yang Feng's convoy, he immediately knelt aside, Yang Feng was of course not interested in dealing with them, the 29th Army didn't want to offend the Kwantung Army too much, after all, the two sides at least had to be neighbors for I don't know how many years, but this thing didn't have this kind of concern.

Ten self-propelled guns, more than 200 armed jeeps, a huge convoy followed closely behind the Japanese and chased up, and finally bit at dawn at Daribo, in this kind of steppe with a flat river, the wrangler's mobility ability is not much worse than that of horses, the convoy that was originally lined up in a column immediately changed formation like a charging cavalry, quickly spread its wings and outflanked it, and at the same time the vehicle-mounted machine guns began to aim at the Japanese and spew flames.

The fighting quality of the Japanese army is naturally not comparable to that of the puppet army, and a brigade behind the most Lu immediately stopped defending on the spot, and all kinds of weapons fired back at the same time, while the main force did not hesitate at all and continued to retreat in the direction of the warp.

Yang Feng's convoy immediately separated, from both wings around a large circle around the blocking Japanese army, continued to pursue the main force of the Japanese army, but the ten self-propelled guns rushed straight to the front of the Japanese army, in order to be able to withdraw as soon as possible, the Japanese army has discarded all heavy weapons, now the strongest in their hands is only heavy machine guns, the thickness of the armor of 2C3 is not much worse than the heavy tanks at this time, bullets can not cause any damage to them, but they can easily abuse the infantry.

Ten self-propelled guns lined up, vehicle-mounted machine guns spewed tongues of fire, heavy bodies rolled over the grasslands, and crashed into the Japanese defense line with the momentum of prehistoric monsters, at this time any defense had lost its meaning, and even the supposedly strongest Japanese soldiers inevitably collapsed, shouting in panic and fleeing in embarrassment.

At the same time, the high-speed jeep convoy had caught up with the main Japanese force, and this time they had learned to be obedient and no longer attacked in formation. Rather, like the lions of the African savannah attacking the migrating wildebeest herds, they followed the retreat of the Japanese army, and attacked them with their speed and range.

Inaba was driven crazy by these little jeeps, his men didn't have any weapons that could fight the M2 machine guns in range, and the cavalry couldn't match the little jeeps in terms of speed, even if they wanted to rush forward and die together. From the appearance of these nasty things, in just a few tens of kilometers, he left behind the corpses of nearly a brigade, plus the brigade where the strong man broke his wrist, he had to pay at least a quarter of the casualties for this retreat.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, we can't go on like this, it's at least two hours away from the warp shed here, and if we continue like this, we will have to lose at least one wing!" The chief of staff said with a sad look on his face that he had just gotten the news. His brother was cut in half by a 12.7mm bullet, but now is not the time to be sad, and if he continues like this, he may have to follow in Jiro's footsteps at any point.

"Disperse, order the troops not to maintain formation anymore, all disperse, discard all unnecessary things, and retreat to the warp shed as fast as possible!" Inaba suddenly discovered the reason why he had lost so much. The well-disciplined Japanese troops maintained the appearance of the Imperial soldiers to the greatest extent possible even when they fled, and they still lined up in a neat formation. This is simply the best target for large-caliber machine guns.

His orders saved his troops to the greatest extent, but also turned the retreat into a real rout, and the Japanese army on the open steppe was completely reduced to a flock of sheep, and nearly 8,000 people were driven by 200 armed jeeps, running helplessly eastward. From time to time, some people were torn apart by bullets behind them, and some people even chose to surrender, but no one accepted their surrender, this is a war in which no Japanese troops can participate, and neither side will leave prisoners. The surrendered Japanese troops were killed mercilessly.

The jeep convoy has been driving the Japanese army into the Rehe, only then turned around and rushed back, the brigade that was blocked behind could not be let go, this group of Japanese troops is now less than 500 people, they also know that they will not be able to return to their hometown no matter what, so they simply retreated to a cantonment point abandoned by Sun Dianying's department last time, with the original fortifications here, ready to fight when it is time.

However, Yang Feng is not interested in attacking, there is a cannon that does not need to let the soldiers fill in their lives, in his opinion, it is a fool's behavior, the soldiers of the security division have insurance, and if he dies, his insurance company will have to pay thousands of oceans, so much money can be replaced by a self-propelled gun.

As a result, ten 2C3 vehicles directly smashed all the more than 300 rounds of 152-mm artillery shells they carried on this cantonment point, and bombarded this brigade of Japanese troops to the point of slag.

"Count the results of the battle, and our casualties!" Yang Feng, who was carrying a scepter, said to the staff officer beside him while watching the bombardment of the Japanese army with great interest.

The results of the battle are not very easy to clean up, the grassland is full of Japanese corpses, some are still gnawed by wild wolves, but it is estimated that even these here are counted, at least 2,000 people have to be killed, the casualties of the security division are insignificant, a total of three Wranglers were lost, five dead and six were injured, all of which were caused by accidental breakdowns, after all, such a long-distance off-road, no matter how good the quality of the car is, it is inevitable that there will be problems.

Yang Feng also didn't look down on the materials discarded by the Japanese army, and Sun Dianying was all cheaper after the last, this guy can be said to have a bumper harvest this time, more than 7,000 prisoners were captured, and more than 10,000 guns of all kinds, although he doesn't need to cover it now, but some of the other warlords like this thing.

The northern line has been cleared, and now it is the turn of the southern front, Sun Dianying left a division to guard near Daribo, and the rest of the men and horses all turned to the southern line.

Nakamura Kotaro was very smart, as soon as he heard that the northern front was almost completely annihilated, and Inaba fled back to the warp shed with less than 6,000 men, he immediately stopped the attack on Duolun, and all the troops retreated back to the territory of Rehe, and then quickly changed back to the Japanese army vest and set up a defensive line on the border of Rehe.

The development of the Duolun battle situation was a bit unprepared, when the Japanese army withdrew from Chahar, the Left Route Army had not yet arrived at the Dewang Mansion, and the 29th Army had just finished sweeping the Xilin Gol League, and almost all of the princes who followed the King of De to mess around chose to surrender immediately, but Song Zheyuan was not ready to let them go so easily, he was the chairman of Chahar Province, and the entire Xilin Gol League was within his jurisdiction, and it was not up to him to decide how to play.

"Get these guys to Zhangjiakou and circle them, and then the 29th Army and the 41st Army each send a division to be stationed in the grassland, the 29th Army is stationed in Beizimiao, and the 41st Army is stationed in Dalibo. In this way, the north and the south can echo, and once the Japanese army comes out of the warp shed again, they can respond immediately. Yang Feng said with a smile.

The Japanese would definitely not just give up, anyway, they were hiding in the territory of Rehe, and it was impossible for either the 29th Army or Sun Dianying to directly attack Rehe at the risk of provoking a big war. In this way, the Japanese army can come out of Rehe whenever they want, and the line of Jingpeng must be blocked for him.

"In this way, it will be a problem in terms of material supply." Song Zheyuan nodded and said, these two places are in the north of the mountain, Dalibo is still close, and Beizi Temple is still in the upper reaches of the Xilin River.

"The food is simple, and it's a big deal to do it. As for the weapons and ammunition, I will still transport them by air, you can build an airport in Beizi Temple, and I will provide you with some cars, which is enough to solve this problem. Yang Feng patted his chest and said.

The success of the counterattack made him a little energetic, and now he didn't have any problems in his eyes.

The Japanese army has now been completely driven out of Chahar, and the vast majority of the Xing'an army, except for a small number of escapes, have surrendered to Sun Dianying, and the old bandits are now studying how to deal with them. But the king fled, and fled north with less than a thousand men. Now he can't go back to his hometown, because the Duolun front line no longer needs help, so Zhao Dengyu's cavalry division has turned west to sweep the second banner of Sunit, Fu Zuoyi and Ma Hongkui's troops are too slow, and they haven't arrived at the Dewang Mansion at this time! However, they suppressed the Mongols of the Ulanqab League, and this was already considered a success.

"I have a suggestion for these guys who have surrendered. It is definitely not possible for these people to be incorporated into the Tunken Army, so it is better to give it to me, and then I will send them all to Chongqing to build roads and open mines! Yang Feng said to Sun Dianying that the Xing'an army was dominated by Mongols from various parts of Eastern Inner Mongolia, and these families were in the area controlled by the Japanese army. Staying in Chahar is a big hidden danger, and there is no such problem when sent to distant Chongqing, where people are needed to build railways and open coal mines, first let them be free coolies for a few years, and then tell them how many years they will become regular workers.

"Okay!" Sun Dianying agreed without hesitation, he has already passed the realm of pulling people around to make up the numbers, and now he is playing an elite strategy, and these captives naturally look down on them.

The three of them are studying how to separate the dirt! There was news from He Jifeng that King De had been caught, and he wanted to flee to King Suo of the West Uzhumuqin Division, but he was running into He Jifeng who was sweeping all the departments halfway, and his thousands of people who had been frightened could withstand the beating of an elite division of the 29th Army, and he had to surrender after the whole army was annihilated.

"! Why didn't he kill himself? As soon as Yang Feng heard the news, he immediately said speechlessly.

"What's so difficult about that, let Lao He do it, just say that suicide will be done, and it will also fulfill his dream of following Genghis Khan." Sun Dianying said very unkindly.

"Isn't that right? He is still the head of the Xilin Gol League appointed by the National Government, and he is still an important member of the dang country! If he were to be killed like this, it is estimated that Chairman Chiang would be angry. Yang Feng said with a smile.

In fact, Chairman Chiang was already very angry now, the war in Chahar ended too quickly, which caught him off guard, and before he could react, the Japanese army was driven back to Rehe, which made him shocked and couldn't help but start thinking nonsense.

To be honest, he is very welcome to the war between Sun Dianying and the Japanese, no matter what the result is, he welcomes it, even if Sun Dianying wins, it will only be good for him and no harm, but now the 29th Army and Sun Dianying's partnership makes him feel a little uncomfortable, plus Fu Zuoyi and Ma Hongkui, then this kind of discomfort becomes vigilance, and none of these guys have communicated with him beforehand, which is simply a provocation to his boss.

"What does this Yang Feng want to do?" He asked Jiang Xiaoxian, who was urgently summoned from Beiping, with a gloomy face, and he naturally knew very well who was bringing these princes together.

"Yang Feng said it before, it seems to be for wool." Jiang Xiaoxian said cautiously to his uncle.

"Wool?" The bald guy was stunned, he really couldn't imagine that the wool could actually unite the princes of the four roads, and he dared to do it with the Japanese.

"Yes, Yang Feng is doing wool spinning, and he can provide a man-made fiber that can be blended with wool, which can greatly reduce the price of wool textiles, and this fiber is only available to him. Even foreigners could not compete with him, but wool had to be imported, so he wanted to spread his fine-wool breeders on a large scale in the grasslands, so that he would have to control the grasslands in his own hands. Jiang Xiaoxian hurriedly explained that he and Yang Feng were also friends, and he really didn't want him to anger the bald guy because of this.

"It's as simple as that?" The bald guy still didn't believe it.

"There's nothing surprising about that. Wars over a commodity were common in European history, and the Crusades were simply for control of the spice trade. Meiling said with a smile on the side.

She has always had a deep affection for Yang Feng.

"Hmph, you all see him as too simple, seeking grassland is for wool, so what is he building a factory in Chongqing for? Is it profitable? The current price of steel is so cheap, but he has invested so much in building a steel plant, this is very problematic, this person is probably suspicious, and he will have a bad idea of Yang Feng's whereabouts in the future. Keep an eye on it. The bald guy said with a gloomy face to Tang Zong, who was standing aside with a bow.

Of course, Yang Feng didn't know that the bald guy had already decided that he had evil intentions, and he was now gathering with a group of warlords and bandits to celebrate his achievements! Of course, by the way, although Fu Zuoyi and the two didn't come in handy this time, even King De's nest was won by Zhao Dengyu, but after all, people also made up a part, and it was not good not to give some rewards after all, so after Yang Feng's coordination. Sun Dianying took out 3,000 38 big covers, and Fu Zuoyi and Ma Hongkui each had 1,500 pieces. Then he gave Ma Hongkui four captured mountain cannons, and Fu Zuoyi six 150 mortars used by the Japanese army, so they were all happy.

Then Sun Dianying and Song Zheyuan formally divided the scope of the potential, with the Xilin River and Cudo Avenue as the dividing line, and the south of the Xilin River and the east of Cudo Avenue were assigned to Sun Dianying. His current official capacity is still the commander of Chabei Security, although the territory is much less than that of the 29th Army, but what he gets is the best pasture, whether it is reclamation or grazing, it is very suitable, and there are so many people under him. It's not interesting to have a big territory.

As for the Mongolian princes in their respective jurisdictions, it is very easy to send away, the little armed forces in the hands of these guys are basically folded in Duolun, and there is no bargaining qualification at all, Song Zheyuan alone gave a title of senator of the Chahar Provincial Government, and then all of them were thrown to Zhangjiakou to circle up, and they were all given a monthly salary to starve to death.

"We might as well treat the Mongolian herdsmen better, after all, they are going to graze for us, and the Han people are definitely not as good as them for this kind of work, they put the sheep well, so we can make wool money, right?" Yang Feng deliberately said that he has always attached great importance to the issue of harmony.

"That's right, your inspection of the Har Department is a good example, we only give them a little benefit, and these people are already grateful to Dade and are willing to help us even in the war." Song Zheyuan hurriedly taught the experience to several others.

Of course, it's none of their business if these guys don't listen or not.

In response to the Mongols' belief in lamas, Yang Feng came up with a good trick, he and Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying, Fu Zuoyi, Ma Hongkui four people, with the main generals of their subordinates, flew to Bailing Temple by plane, Fu Zuoyi had already let people build a temporary airport before, and then a group of people came to worship the living Buddha, so that the resistance of the herdsmen on the grassland to them was greatly reduced.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from invading again, Sun Dianying's department began to build a fortress in Daribo, and at the same time built a road extending from Cudo Avenue to the fortress, and the cost was still provided by Yang Feng in the form of a loan, anyway, he already owed Yang Feng millions of oceans, and he didn't care about owing more.

After returning to Beiping, Yang Feng once again shifted his focus to Chongqing, his steel base had completed various designs, and the next step was to enter the construction stage, and this guy flew to Chongqing again with Magritte.

There were more people who greeted him at the airport this time, and even Liu Xiang came in person, but what caught Yang Feng's attention was that one of the lieutenant generals wearing the uniform of the Zhongyang Army looked to be about fifty years old.

"Who is this?" The guy had actually guessed who he was, but he still said knowingly.

"This is Director He of the Chairman's Staff Group, Brother Yuanzhang and I are old classmates, this time I heard that Brother Yang is coming, you have to come together, he is a celebrity next to the chairman." Liu Xiang introduced with a smile, and reminded Yang Feng by the way, this guy is not in the same group as us.

"Oh, Director He, brother is really stupid, I should have thought it was you." Yang Feng pretended to say, and then grabbed He Guoguang's hand tightly as if he was seeing a relative.

"Mr. Yang's name is also contemptible and thunderous." He Guoguang said with a smile on his face, this is an old fox and an old politician.

A group of people took a boat upriver to reach Chaotianmen Wharf, and then first went to the Chongqing Municipal Government to praise each other, and arrived at Huangjueping by car after being full of wine and food, where a three-story small building has been built, and the headquarters of Chongqing Iron and Steel Group is temporarily located here, before Yang Feng arrived, Zhang Xinwu had already taken Wang Ziquan and Han Cornerstone, and a group of engineers hired from Germany to Qijiang Iron Mine, and now they have not rushed back.

Of course, Yang Feng wouldn't mind this.

"But you have to remind Zhang Lao to pay attention to his body, after all, he is almost sixty years old, and this kind of work of running around can be handed over to others." Yang Feng said to Xiaohui earnestly.

"Boss, you don't know how to do Mr. Zhang, now I hate to eat and live in the mine, he himself said that he wants to see a real big steel plant in China all his life, but unfortunately he can't see hope until now, then he can't hurry, he is almost sixty now, if he closes his eyes that day and can't get up again, it won't be a lifelong regret." Xiaohui said with a smile.

"That's not okay, your body is important!" Yang Feng thought to himself, who would work for me if the old man was tired.

"Brother Yang, I know a few talents in steel, if you are short of manpower here, I can help you contact and see if I can come over and help." He Guoguang said with a smile on the side.

"That's very welcome, I wonder where these friends are now?" Yang Feng hurriedly said, but his heart was full of vigilance, this was about to mix sand for himself. (To be continued......)
