Chapter 230: Ordered in Danger
The Feng army dispatched two divisions of troops, no matter who it seems, it is the chance to win, and Zhu Qinglan, the overseer of Heilongjiang, is also very excited, he and his confidant staff officer Jiang Dengxuan repeatedly discussed, both of them think that when the Feng army arrives, Xu Lanzhou can only be captured, and they will turn the danger into safety.
But the reality is often unexpected, Ji Jinchun led the army along the Middle East Road to the north, until Changchun, originally wanted to rest here for a short time, wait for the rear supplies to be in place, and then directly into the territory of Heilongjiang.
Everything was arranged perfectly, but there was a problem at this juncture, on the night of the camp, the Heilongjiang side actually took the initiative to send troops to attack, Ji Jinchun is also a long-time enemy figure, after a short period of panic, he commanded his subordinates to calmly respond to the battle, and gradually stabilized the position.
But then something happened that Ji Jinchun couldn't have imagined, a unit suddenly killed from the Jilin side, stormed the rear of the 28th Division, and formed a front and rear attack with the army in Heilongjiang, and this army was not weakly equipped and its morale was high.
The 28th Division immediately fell into a bitter battle, as the saying goes, blessings are incomparable, disasters are not alone, Ji Jinchun's bad luck is not over, the Japanese also mixed in at this time, saying that when the two armies were fighting, artillery shells fell into the Manchurian Iron Annex, they sent a warning to Ji Jinchun, the Japanese artillery is ready, if this situation occurs again, they will take action.
Ji Jinchun could not withstand the pressure of the Japanese, so he could only adjust the artillery position, as a result, the firepower of the 28th Division was sharply reduced, and the position was broken by the two armies in front and behind, and the whole army was defeated, and the 28th Division was defeated like a mountain, and the 28th Division ran back to Mukden all the way with tens of thousands of people. I can't put it in at all.
Originally, the two armies of Ji Jinchun and Wu Junsheng attacked Heilongjiang like scissors, but now half of them have been defeated.
After Zhang Zuolin received the report, he suddenly jumped like thunder, and he originally grasped the action, but suffered a big defeat, which made Zhang Zuolin, who had been smooth sailing during this time. Feeling a great humiliation, he summoned all his henchmen to discuss the matter.
"Dashuai, this time the teacher is not good, I think there are two major reasons. The first is that the Jilin side suddenly killed an army and disrupted the deployment of the 28th Division. Who the hell is this army? Weishenme was not aware of anything before, and I think this is a serious dereliction of duty and must be held accountable. ”
Zhang Zuoxiang is not in Fengtian, Sun Liechen is the most senior and most valued by Zhang Zuolin among everyone, and he came out to summarize the reasons for the failure. Fair and reasonable.
"The second reason is in Ji Jinchun's body, the 28th Division was originally the ace of the Feng army, but it couldn't beat the army in Heilongjiang, which was simply a shame for the Feng army. And all the time. In the face of the pressure of the Japanese, our Fengjun has never retreated, and now as soon as the Japanese threaten, Ji Jinchun will abandon his martial arts, this is not what it is to seek death! ”
Sun Liechen's words made the people present nod frequently, and so did Zhang Tinglan, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the 28th Division was not good, which is understandable, after all, the battle between Zhang Zuolin and Lao Feng had just ended, the 28th Division was still being rectified, and a lot of officers were also transferred.
But being frightened by the Japanese and not daring to use artillery is a big mistake, even unforgivable, in fact, this is also because the fund is from the 28th Division, and the fear of the Japanese is deep-rooted.
Lao Zhang said with a gloomy face: "Ji Jinchun's position as acting division commander has been revoked and transferred to Zhang Haipeng for the time being, your task is to gather the defeated army as soon as possible and stabilize the morale of the army!" ”
Ji Jinchun was taken down, and the people present had no objections, after all, there was such a big mistake, and the dismissal was already light.
Lao Zhang paused for a moment, and then continued: "Who can figure out now who the army that suddenly came out of Jilin is it, and these thousands of troops fell from the sky?" ”
"Marshal, the envoy of Zhang Zhen has sent a piece of information, saying that this army is Gao Shifu's!" Yang Yuting whispered on the side: "It was Gao Shiwei who organized his old department and launched a sneak attack on the 28th Division, which led to the rout of Ji Jinchun's entire line. ”
Hearing Gao Shifu's three words, Lao Zhang's eyes immediately turned red, and his face was full of disbelief expressions, isn't this a joke, Feng Jun just defeated Gao Shifu, and sent Lao Zhang's in-law Bao Guiqing to Jilin, how can Gao Shifu still make waves.
Not to mention Zhang Zuolin, even everyone present was shocked, what the hell is going on! Zhang Tinglan's brain was also spinning rapidly, and he had a faint guess that the problem must be with Bao Guiqing.
Although this guy was only appointed as the overseer of Jilin with the support of Lao Zhang, Bao Guiqing did not completely belong to Lao Zhang, but still regarded himself as Beiyang, and he wanted to act as a mediator between Fengjun and Beiyang, which was already very obvious at the original welcome banquet.
Most likely, Bao Guiqing didn't want to kill them all, but kept Gao Shifu's shili, but he lifted a stone to hit his own foot, and Gao Shiwei bit back. Zhang Tinglan thought of this, and was a little angry in his heart, but then he couldn't help but be a little excited, if his estimate was right, now Jilin and Heilongjiang have been messed up, as the so-called no chaos is not cured, the opportunity he has been looking for has finally come.
Of course, the more critical the moment, the more you must keep enough calm, Zhang Tinglan didn't say a word, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, how to deal with it depends on Zhang Zuolin's decision.
Lao Zhang sat on the Taishi chair, his mind almost fell into a blank, how keen he was, Zhang Tinglan could think of it, Lao Zhang could also think of it, it must be the old in-law Bao Guiqing who had a problem, in Zhang Zuolin's view, this is a naked betrayal, he filled his chest with resentment, and slammed it on the table, shaking all the teapots and bowls.
It was shattered to the ground, and everyone present did not dare to say a word, and at this time, someone sent a telegram, which turned out to be sent by Guo Zongxi, the governor of Jilin Province, who reported the situation to Lao Zhang.
At the beginning, Zhang Zuolin promised to provide Bao Guiqing with a loan of 2 million to help Bao Guiqing disband the old army in Jilin, but Bao Guiqing did not immediately dismiss the old army, on the contrary, he kept a lot, he used the money to recruit a new army, but the new army was not trained, and there was a problem in Heilongjiang.
Gao Shiwei colluded with Xu Lanzhou, Gao Shiwei gathered the old department, first attacked Ji Jinchun, and then led a large army to attack Jilin, wanting to recapture Jilin Province, this time Bao Guiqing was also frightened, he could only run away, and he didn't even dare to report the news to Zhang Zuolin, and Guo Zongxi, the governor who fled together, reported the cause and effect to Lao Zhang.
After Lao Zhang saw this telegram, he was even more dumbfounded, not only did his sons and daughters not help him, but also almost ruined his great cause, and now there are problems in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, if he does not calm down quickly, Lao Zhang not only can not get Heilongjiang, but also compensates Jilin for it.
This made Zhang Zuolin, who once thought that the king of the Northeast was close at hand, simply experienced a change from heaven to hell, and his mind was almost messed up.
After a long time, Zhang Zuolin stabilized his emotions, glanced at the audience, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't know anyone, so I have the current situation, you guys all talk about what to do, how to save the situation." ”
"Dashuai, I think there is only one word: fight! Beat hard, wipe out Xu Lanzhou and Gao Shifu, especially Gao Shifu, we must take advantage of his unstable foothold to get Jilin back, we can't do loss-making business! ”
Sun Liechen said loudly, he was also anxious, seeing that the Feng army was about to unify the three eastern provinces, but this kind of thing happened at a critical juncture, and no one could stand it.
Zhang Zuolin nodded heavily: "I must fight, I must not let them go, but who to send to fight, we still need to discuss, in addition, Bao Guiqing is not suitable for managing Jilin, let's see who can replace him." ”
"Dashuai, if you want to pacify Gao Shiwei, only Fu Chen is the most suitable!" Zhang Jinghui spoke on the side: "Last time, it was Fu Chen who went to fight Meng Enyuan, he is familiar with everything, and the garrison division has strong combat effectiveness, so it is not a problem to take the Ji army." ”
It is true that there is no more suitable person except Zhang Zuoxiang now! Lao Zhang even regretted it a little, if he had directly handed over Jilin to Zhang Zuoxiang, and didn't play a trick to carry Bao Guiqing out, maybe it would be better, Lao Zhang also regretted it a little.
"Then let Fu Chen be the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency army, acting as the overseer of Jilin, and be fully responsible for eliminating Gao Shifu." Lao Zhang turned his head again and said to Zhang Tinglan: "Humble words, don't be idle, bring the new army troops in Fengtian over, and the militia of the reclamation brigade will also be mobilized, let them be in charge of logistics, and be sure to eliminate Gao Shiwei in the shortest possible time." ”
Zhang Tinglan nodded hurriedly, and Lao Zhang asked Wu Junsheng to give an order, asking him to maintain pressure on Heilongjiang, avoid Xu Lanzhou from sending troops to support Gao Shiwei, and also look for fighters to weaken Xu Lanzhou's strength, and wait until the counterinsurgency in the direction of Jilin has a result, and then combine the two roads to take Xu Lanzhou.
Lao Zhang has already moved his murderous intentions, and will definitely not let go of Gao Shiwei and Xu Lanzhou, in addition, Lao Zhang let Zhang Jinghui take over the post of the envoy of the Dongbian Dao Town, Sun Liechen is in Fengtian with Lao Zhang, and the main force of the 27th Division also stayed in Fengtian, the reason is also very simple, the Japanese are intervening again, Fengtian must maintain a strong armed Liliang to deter and contain the Japanese, otherwise the front line will not want to successfully quell the rebellion.
After Lao Zhang's general orders were issued, the Feng army moved up and down, and Zhang Tinglan could only hurriedly suspend the work of the teacher, he and Zhang Haipeng went north together, accompanied by a regiment of new troops.
They all knew that the matter was urgent, so they didn't dare to delay at all, and hurried to the border of Jifeng, and just set up the barracks, they heard a burst of gunfire in front, could it be that Gao Shifu killed him, it was too fast, and when he was thinking about it, his staff officers hurriedly ran in!
