"Report to the General, planes are circling over us for reconnaissance."

Kawai Cao was drinking tea in the carriage, and he didn't understand the beauty of this bitter leaf, which was nothing more than to hold garlic. The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that the Japanese had been waiting for finally came to conquer Manchuria himself and present it to the emperor.

Kawai Cao, who was dreaming of it, suddenly heard the report of his subordinates, and immediately frowned: "The people of China are busy with the civil war, how can their planes have time to scout us?" ”

"Your Excellency, it's true, I don't believe you can listen to the roar of the plane!"

At this time, Fengjun's plane was already approaching the sky above the military column, and with a huge roar, it easily swept over, but the plane did not leave in a hurry, but in turn pounced on the Japanese military column.

Although the speed of the train is not slow, it is still incomparable with the airplane, and Kawai Cao immediately became angry when he saw the provocative action of the Fengjun fighter plane.

"The warriors of Great Japan must not allow clowns to jump around on top of our heads, knock me down!"

After Kawai gave the order, some Japanese soldiers tried to aim the Fengjun planes on the train, but they all failed due to the angle.

However, during this period of time, Fengjun's planes roared several times to simulate attacking the Japanese, and although they did not fire, the deterrent effect was also very amazing. On the march on the empty railway line, if it is attacked by Liliang from the air, then the end must be very miserable.

The Japanese did not attach importance to the role of the Air Force, and they did not believe that those wooden toys could affect the situation of the war. At this time, the Feng army used airplanes to hover over the heads of the Japanese unscrupulously, and taught these arrogant Japanese a lesson with facts.

Ha Hecao knew very well that Feng Jun was demonstrating to him. Warn the Japanese to retreat in the face of difficulties, but as a proud Japanese general, how could Kawai Cao compromise easily. Fortunately, the Feng army only came with two planes, not a group of planes that covered the sky, so the Japanese simply walked back to the ostrich and let the Feng army fly over their heads with the plane, and they continued to approach Mukden quickly.

After most of the day's drive, Liaoyang was finally in sight, and in the meantime, the damn plane had disappeared. Kawai Cao also showed a triumphant expression.

Liaoyang to Mukden is only more than 60 kilometers, only about two hours by train, Hehecao seems to have seen the hope of victory, he led the troops, occupied Mukden. He took the rich eastern provinces and opened up the territory for the empire. Juxtapose his name with those of the heroes of the empire. Forever revered by posterity.

The confident Hehe Cao was about to cross Liaoyang, when suddenly his subordinates came to report the news in a panic.

"Your Excellency General, the railway has been blocked by the Chinese army, and it is impossible to go any further."

"What!" He Cao's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Impossible, this is the South Manchurian Railway." Are the people of China crazy, they dare to block the South Manchurian Railway, do they want to challenge the dignity of the empire? ”

Just as Kawai was going crazy, the train had stopped helplessly. These Japanese soldiers were also well-trained fellows, and they all jumped down and quickly became vigilant.

He Hecao also got off the train at this time, he wanted to see where the Feng army got the courage to dare to cut off the South Manchurian Railway, he suddenly looked at the situation on the other side, and was suddenly startled.

Countless Feng troops were ready for battle, they formed dense fortifications with huge sandbags on top of each other, machine guns and mortars were all in place, and thick field guns could be seen in the distance, all aimed at them.

The Feng army looked like they were waiting for the battle, blocking the Japanese outside the station, and the planes of the Feng army appeared again in the sky, and with the advantage of high altitude, the Japanese army was all in full view, and it was unobstructed.

When it comes to the number of heavy weapons in the Feng army, it has far exceeded that of the Japanese, and Kawai Cao can't help but be terrified when he sees this. He hurriedly called the staff officer over and said sharply: "Baga, what's going on, didn't you say that the Feng army is all fighting a civil war, and they don't have the energy to take care of us at all, how can they send so many troops?" ”

The staff officer was also hesitant and didn't know how to answer, but at this time, the Feng army broke the deadlock first, and a staff officer named Xie Wenhua came over and asked to meet Hehecao.

Xie Wenhua was dressed neatly, and his military uniform was exceptionally neat, looking heroic. As soon as he saw the representative of the Feng army, he roared loudly: "Yaga, the South Manchurian Railway is an asset of the Great Japanese Empire, you are not allowed to interfere, you are provoking the dignity of the empire, the Japanese Kwantung Army has the obligation to ensure the smooth flow of the railway, if you still do not get out of the way, we will take decisive measures, and all the consequences will be borne by you!" ”

"Commander Kawai Cao, before you question us, I would like to ask you to explain why the Kwantung Army is moving north, what is your goal, and what do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do, we have to safeguard the interests of the empire and protect the expatriates of the empire!"

"Then I will also tell you that our actions are to safeguard China's interests and protect China's citizens!"

In the face of Xie Wenhua's cross-examination, Hehecao did not know what to say for a while, the Japanese often use the banner of safeguarding their own interests to harm China's interests, but when the Chinese say that they want to protect their own interests, they are a little uncomfortable, which is a typical example of only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing the people to light lamps.

"There is turmoil in the three eastern provinces, the empire's army will naturally be dispatched, we are for the purpose of peace, in order to protect the empire's expatriate, but also to ease tensions, your hostile actions are to live up to the empire's wishes."

Xie Wenhua was also furious when he heard that Hehe Cao reversed black and white, and was shameless to the extreme. The Japanese are not de-escalating the situation at all, they are creating tension, and they are not thinking about peace, but trying to annex the three eastern provinces!

Xie Wenhua sneered and said: "Mr. Commander, the military takes obedience as its duty, and we put forward Zuihou's advice to the Japanese side, you can't take a step forward, otherwise the decision of the Feng army will not be polite, where to go." See for yourselves. ”

After Xie Wenhua finished speaking, he left directly, and angry flames appeared in Hehe Cao's eyes, Feng Jun's attitude was definitely a humiliation to him, and he was ready to give a direct order to let the Kwantung Army kill them and wipe out all these Feng troops.

This thought rose several times in a row, but it was suppressed by him alive, and Kawai Cao was not stupid enough to get home. Now the Feng army is well prepared and has strong heavy firepower, and if it rashly attacks, it will definitely hit its head and bleed.

In fact, the Japanese are like wolves who want to steal and eat domestic animals, and suddenly find that their owners have a shotgun in their hands. is aimed at him, but the Japanese are a little weak-hearted. After all, this was a decision made by the Kwantung Army without authorization. Without the authorization of the Japanese government, if there is a big problem, Kawai will become a scapegoat.

After thinking about it, Kawai Cao ordered the troops to temporarily retreat five kilometers and set up a confrontational formation with the Feng army. Jiang Dengxuan also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the Japanese took the initiative to retreat. He also knew that now was not the time to fight against Japan, and it would be great if he could scare them away.

However, Jiang Dengxuan was also deeply influenced by Zhang Tinglan and knew that peace was not begged for on his knees. The more afraid you are of war, the easier it is to get on the shelf. Therefore, he issued an order to the Feng army that they must be strictly guarded to prevent the Japanese from sneaking attack, and at the same time to prevent the Japanese from bypassing Liaoyang.

Just when Liaoyang was overcast, Zhang Tinglan finally completed the reorganization of his troops, originally there were 40,000 people scattered in the pass, Kan Chaoxi alone gathered 20,000 or 30,000 people, and now these people are all back to the Feng army.

After deducting the wounded and those killed in battle, and then excluding those unreliable personnel, more than 20,000 people returned to Zhang Tinglan's hands, and after cutting and reorganizing, more than 20,000 people were organized into two divisions, and Zhang Tinglan finally regained confidence at this time.

"Commander Ding, I now appoint you as the commander of the first brigade of the independent mixed army of the Feng Army, responsible for guarding the front line of Shanhaiguan, if the Beiyang Army dares to invade Shanhaiguan, give me a hard beating, and we must not let them interfere with us again!"

"Commander-in-chief, rest assured, the task will be completed!"

Ding Chao was also in a surging mood at this time, originally he was just a small regiment commander, but with Zhang Tinglan, he suddenly became the brigade commander of the independent mixed brigade, standing alone. You can also have a star on your shoulders and become a major general, how can you not be ecstatic.

"Guarding Shanhaiguan, in addition to Beiyang, you must also pay attention to the Japanese, those hundreds of Japanese soldiers attacked the marshal, all of them were solved, and from then on, Shanhaiguan no longer needs the Japanese garrison, if they send people to this side, they must also block it."

Ding Chao nodded in agreement, Zhang Tinglan also confessed, so he hurriedly led the army back to Fengtian, along the way Zhang Tinglan was also on fire, the rebels had been dealt with almost, but the Japanese jumped to the front again, he already knew the news that the Kwantung Army had arrived in Liaoyang.

If there is a slight carelessness, there will be a direct military conflict between the two sides, Zhang Tinglan can't help but be extremely careful, he is still in the special train, he asked Shen Hua to bring a person over, this guy is tall and looks very burly, but there is no brilliance in his eyes, as if the whole person is numb.

One of his sleeves was empty, there was nothing left, and the guards escorted him in front of Zhang Tinglan. Zhang Tinglan is also looking at this guy carefully, he is none other than the direct murderer of Zhang Zuolin, Daisaku Kawamoto!

After blowing up the train, Daisaku Kawamoto found that Zhang Zuolin was not dead, so he led his subordinates to rush over, trying to kill Lao Zhang, but they were surrounded by the Feng army, most of the more than 300 people were killed, and a few were lucky to be injured but did not die, but these Japanese were more fierce and tenacious, and almost all committed suicide.

Kawamoto Daisaku, under the protection of several cronies, also tried to break out, but was chased by the cavalry of the Feng army, and his men were killed, and Kawamoto also wanted to commit suicide, but just as he raised his gun, the sharpshooter in the Feng army shot him in the shoulder at once, shattering the joint.

Hebei immediately fell in a pool of blood, he was still struggling to commit suicide, the soldiers of the Feng army had rushed over and captured Kawamoto alive, Ding Chao, who was in charge of this matter, was very sober and knew that this Japanese was an important witness, so he kept Kawamoto under strict guard, and sent a doctor to treat his injuries.

If no living mouth is found, and there is no direct evidence, the Japanese will deny it in every possible way, and with Kawamoto as a witness, the situation will be very different.

Zhang Tinglan was overjoyed when he learned that Kawamoto was caught, and he also praised Ding Chao, and it was precisely because of this that Ding Chao was able to improve quickly, and Zhang Tinglan took a fancy to his ability to do things.

"Daisaku Kawamoto, I think you are a smart person, as long as you are in front of the reporter and can truthfully confess the crime, there may be a way to live, including your family."

Kawamoto has enjoyed too many means during this time, several times of life and death, don't look at his whole person is still alive, but the spiritual defense line has long been destroyed, and in the face of Zhang Tinglan's words, he can only nod mechanically.

The train gradually approached Fengtian, Zhang Tinglan returned here again, within more than ten days, twice in a row from Shanhaiguan to Fengtian, along with this process, Fengjun has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the real Zhang Tinglan era is finally coming! (To be continued......)
