Since the May Fourth tide blew up, China's political situation has changed three times a day, and the same is true of the Fengjun who is also in the center of the storm, in the first few days, everyone is still speculating whether Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan father and son have a falling out, but in a blink of an eye, Zhang Tinglan became the commander of the Fengtian garrison, and at this time Zhang Zuoxiang is still in charge of Beimanchuria, which is equivalent to the two masters of the three eastern provinces, as if they are important ministers who stay at home, which makes everyone surprised.

No matter what others think, after Zhang Tinglan received the appointment, he immediately began to prepare, Wang Yongjiang, Yang Yuting and others were invited to his study, ready to come up with a set of plans.

"Mr. Min Yuan, Neighbor Ge, this time the marshal mobilized the army to enter the customs, and the remaining Liliang in Fengtian is very limited, how to hold Fengtian and deter the Japanese Kwantung Army, it is indeed a bit difficult!"

The original team of the Feng army had four divisions, and after several expansions, the total strength of the Feng army has exceeded 130,000, but there are 30,000 multilateral defense troops, one garrison division in Heilongjiang and one in Jilin, as well as heavy artillery regiments, cavalry regiments, and other troops, the number of which exceeds 50,000.

These troops are jointly guarding the security of North Manchuria, and they also have to defend Hailanpao and Jiangdong 64 Tun, which are already stretched, and Lao Zhang has to lead three divisions and four brigades, and there are more than 60,000 people, counting the remaining troops in Zhang Tinglan's hands are only more than 20,000, which is indeed a bit small.

Yang Yuting silently calculated in his heart, and then said: "Humble words, although there are not many troops, they are all the elite of the Feng army, including the 54th Brigade of the old 27th Division, as well as two regiments of the 28th Division, Ma Zhanshan's cavalry brigade, as well as a mountain artillery regiment and a field artillery regiment, both in terms of the quality of soldiers and weapons and equipment. They are all the top in the Fengtian army, and if they are used well, it will not be difficult to hold Fengtian! ”

Wang Yongjiang also said on the side: "Humble words, don't just count the regular army, there are still many recruits and policemen in Fengtian, and all college students have to undergo two months of military training when they enter the school, if it is a last resort, these students can also be mobilized, and the remaining Liliang in Fengtian can exceed 30,000 people." ”

"The guards alone are enough for these centaurs. However, I wanted to replace defense with offense and create pressure on the Japanese so that they would not dare to act rashly, so that there would be a little bit of a shortage of men. ”

When the two sides are competing, the weaker they are. The more you have to put on a tough posture, once as the weaker side. I coaxed myself. That would be completely hopeless.

Zhang Tinglan didn't want to clash with the Japanese at this time, but it was definitely useless to just beg, and he had to show the strength that the Japanese were afraid of, so that they could stop. At the same time, not only deterrence, Zhang Tinglan also wanted to attract the attention of the Japanese and let them relax their attention to Lao Zhang. This can also increase Zhang Zuolin's chances of winning.

Yang Yuting and Wang Yongjiang also saw Zhang Tinglan's thoughts, Wang Yongjiang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Humble words, you have always told me that you want to emulate the great powers. It is possible to establish a strong national defense mobilization capability and achieve the effect of raising fewer troops in peacetime and sending more troops in wartime? I think this is an opportunity for us to take advantage of the opportunity of the commander to send troops to carry out a general mobilization for national defense in Mukden, so as to show our war potential, which can also serve the purpose of deterrence. ”

"Governor Minyuan's method is good." Yang Yuting also said with a smile: "Humble words, I think not only can we carry out comprehensive mobilization, it is best for us to take out the navy, land and air force for exercises, especially to display some new weapons, such as heavy artillery and aircraft, all of them are taken out and revealed in front of the world, first, to boost military prestige, and second, to deter Xiaoxiao!" ”

After Zhang Tinglan heard this suggestion, his eyes also lit up, and it is true that sometimes he can't just build with his head bored, but also show the results, so as to get the affirmation of all parties.

"Then simply use this exit as a platform for Fengjun to show Liliang, and we will quickly draw up the plan and send it to the marshal for approval."

After Lao Zhang got the report, he was also very happy, showing Liliang at such a time can not only deter the Japanese, but also win over other wall-riding factions, so that those little warlords can cut off Duan Qirui as soon as possible, at least let them not dare to go against the Feng army with all their might. In addition, it is also to show the people of the whole country the achievements of Fengtian's construction, and pave the way for Fengjun to enter the central government.

This is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone, and Lao Zhang gladly accepted the suggestion, and he decided to hold a military parade in Mukden to show off all the new weapons. However, Lao Zhang also played a trick, he called Zhang Xueliang to his side.

"Xiao Liuzi, I suggested that I show Liliang, and I am also going to hold a military parade, but this is just a pretense, in order to attract the attention of all parties, you and Guo Songling led the vanguard troops to attack Shanhaiguan as quickly as possible, along the Jingfeng Railway, and go straight to Beijing for me."

When Zhang Xueliang heard Lao Zhang's arrangement, his face also showed joy, and he gave Lao Zhang a thumbs up: "Dad, you always want to repair the plank road in the dark, use the military parade to attract the attention of all parties, and at the same time wave the army to enter the customs, you will definitely be able to surprise Duan Qirui and catch Duan Qirui off guard." ”

Lao Zhang smiled and nodded: "Little Liuzi, there is a very correct proposition in the humble words, that is, to fight a war quickly, solve the opponent as quickly as possible, and not leave time for the great powers to interfere, and when the raw rice is cooked and cooked, they want to protest, want to interfere, and there is no chance." ”

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he pulled Zhang Xueliang closer again, and then said in a low voice: "Han Qing, whether my father can succeed in entering the customs this time depends on whether the speed is fast enough, if they can seize the support of the Japanese before Lao Duan can take Beijing, they have no chance to interfere if they want to, if they delay for a long time, there will be no hope at all." The key to victory or defeat is speed, the burden on your shoulders is not light, discuss everything with Guo Songling, although this person is narrow-minded, but his talent is not bad, and he is also a good hand in war! ”

"Dad, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

After intense preparations, the military parade of the Feng army is almost ready, Lao Zhang once again telegraphed the whole country, forcing Lao Duan to step down, and at the same time, in the telegram Zuihou, Lao Zhang said that he would conduct a large-scale military parade to show the military appearance of the Feng army, and invited reporters from all over the world to come to visit the military parade ceremony of the Feng army.

Lao Zhang was holding a military parade at this time, and the big guys secretly screamed in their hearts, this is the signal of the battle, maybe the soldiers don't have to go back to the barracks after the parade, and they rushed directly to the pass with guns. Everyone regarded Lao Zhang's military parade as a signal of war.

The tiger outside the gate finally showed its claws, and it was going to seize the central power by force, and the major shili in China were closely watching the situation, including the various powers, they were also attracted by this news, and the contest between the Feng and Anhui systems would not affect the pattern of the Far East, and which side should be supported, everyone was constantly weighing.

"The handsome man sent a telegram. It can be said that one stone has stirred up a thousand waves, and now everyone in the world is staring at this military parade! ”

"Keep an eye on it, let them keep an eye on it, humble words, do you have any good things to take out. But don't let the great powers look down on us! ”

"Don't worry, Dashuai, the arsenal has broken through a lot of jishu problems recently. A 152-mm howitzer has just been successfully copied. One shell alone weighs more than eighty pounds. Artillery of this class was not yet equipped in the national army, and a batch of 105-mm field guns was produced. The artillery from light to heavy is all complete, and in terms of firepower, we are no worse than the Japanese Army, and even surpass! ”

Zhang Tinglan has confidence in saying this. Japan had limited resources, and invested a lot of money in the navy, maintaining a combined fleet of Shijie III, which required too much liliang. There is a corresponding decrease in what can be invested in the army. Especially now the tactics of the Japanese army are still stuck in the Russo-Japanese War, there is not much progress, the outdated equipment has not been updated in time, and in the face of the Feng army, they no longer have an overwhelming advantage.

"It's good to be sure, we just want to surprise the world!"

After being prepared, Lao Zhang opened a square in front of the Fengtian North Camp, and the troops came out of the North Camp and went directly to the Guannei, and this military parade has completely become a swearing-in meeting.

Before the Fengtian Tianwu officers gathered in the North Camp, Lao Zhang, dressed in military uniform, came to the viewing platform surrounded by many generals. At this time, a large number of foreign military attachés and reporters had gathered around the viewing platform, and they all paid close attention to the military parade.

After the time for the parade arrived, Lao Zhang first rode on the war horse, Zhang Tinglan rode a sweaty and bloody horse, followed closely behind, they walked through the majestic Fengjun team, every time in front of a phalanx, the soldiers shouted the slogan of victory, shaking the world and making everyone's blood boil.

Lao Zhang was also complacent, returned to the viewing platform, and the column officially began, the first thing he walked through was the infantry phalanx, all of whom were old subordinates of the 27th Division, who had followed Zhang Zuolin for many years and were full of veteran troops.

After the infantry passed, there was a cavalry phalanx, tall horses, majestic knights, walking in neat steps, walking in front of the viewing platform, the war horses also kicked up a puff of dust, from the inside to the outside of a murderous aura.

After the cavalry passed, there was a phalanx of all kinds of heavy firepower, with light and heavy machine guns, mortars of various calibers, and teams walked in front of everyone, and at this time the sound of explanation came from the loudspeakers.

"All kinds of machine guns and mortars currently equipped by the Fengjun army are all produced by themselves, from steel smelting to design and processing, which are completely from the hands of the Fengjun Arsenal. It can be said that after a long period of hard work, the Feng army has initially achieved self-sufficiency in weapons, and the soldiers of the Feng army can use their own weapons to defend the interests of the country, and they no longer need to send precious funds to foreign arms dealers! ”

Self-sufficiency in weapons sounds like a common thing, but among the more than 200 countries that have been able to do this, it is pitifully rare, and most of them have to rely on imported weapons to maintain it.

Since the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China has spent a lot of money on weapons everywhere, and most of the money bought is garbage, and now they suddenly heard that the Feng army can produce its own weapons without having to buy them from foreign countries, so the Chinese reporters present are particularly excited, and they frequently use their cameras to photograph the heroic pictograms of the Feng army.

Then came the artillery unit, the cannon is the god of war, and the swarthy artillery appeared in everyone's sight under the traction of the war horse. At the same time, there was a roar in the sky, and three fighters formed a formation and flew over everyone's heads.

"Like mortars, these artillery pieces are also produced by the Fengjun itself, and at present the Fengjun army has been able to produce artillery of various calibers, including 76 mm, 105 mm, 122 mm, and 152 mm.

"Aircraft is an emerging weapon, in the war that has just ended in Europe, shine, Fengjun has also formed its own scientific research team, designed and produced its own aircraft, flying over our heads is China's first mass-produced combat aircraft!"

All the weapons shown in the parade have one thing in common, that is, they are self-produced! This made the Chinese reporters present very proud, in the past, the great powers relied on the strength of their ships and guns, knocking on China's door, and now finally China can produce by itself, and the opportunity to change the fortunes of the country may finally come!

The Chinese were excited, constantly making enthusiastic cheers, while the faces of Japanese such as Akajiri Massuke, who were also in the crowd of spectators, turned black, gritting their teeth one by one, annoyed and angry! (To be continued......)
