"Grab it, no matter how many people escort it, grab it for me!" Lao Zhang's eyes are also red, and there is no ambitious warlord who does not like weapons, especially heavy artillery machine guns, which may not be able to be bought with money.

Zhang Zuolin asked Yang Yuting many times, and he knew very well the power of the 122-millimeter howitzer, as long as he could pull up the heavy artillery battalion, even if he fought against the Japanese in the field, he would not suffer. After getting those 50 machine guns, the entire 27th Division, including the Independent Brigade, was able to equip each company with a heavy machine gun, and this kind of firepower was absolutely second to none among the armies outside the Guan.

As for the bullet production line, it is even more important, although Lao Zhang was born in a reckless manner, he also clearly sees the benefits of self-made weapons. If you can make it yourself, you won't be able to rely on others, in other words, you can hold your fate in your own hands, which is exactly what Zhang Zuolin dreamed of.

Therefore, Lao Zhang made up his mind without hesitation, no matter how much he paid, no matter how much risk he took, he would get this batch of treasures into his hands.

Fred said a little embarrassed: "The howitzers and production lines are all American, and the bullets and shells are produced by Japan, and Russia also attaches great importance to this batch of munitions, and the eyes of the three countries are staring at it deadly." A large number of soldiers were specially dispatched along the way to protect it, and with my ability, there is no way to intercept the arms, if you want to get it, I'm afraid there is only one way, I don't know if you dare to do it? Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan glanced at each other, and they both nodded in unison.

Isn't it just robbery, the 27th Division is pointing to robbing the house, and then going back to the old job, there is no difficulty.

"Mr. Fred, the information you provide is too important, then you only need to provide the specific time of the train, the operation will be arranged by us, and it will definitely be seamless."

After sending Fred away, Zhang Zuolin squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and then said: "Tinglan, the fewer people who know about this kind of big thing, the better, you go and call Fu Chen, let's discuss it well!" ”

Zhang Zuoxiang soon rushed over, and the three of them got together, constantly thinking about the map of the three eastern provinces.

"Seventh master, father, we are determined to get this batch of arms, but after robbing it, we will offend the three powers, and I am afraid that President Yuan Da will not be able to afford it. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to do it near Mukden, Zuihou is at the junction of Jifeng and Fengzhou provinces, and Meng Enyuan is also dragged into the water. ”

"That's right, I think it's between Tieling and Changtu, it's just the area of Sanzhi, and bandits are infested, so it's easy to move. But robbing with what kind of identity is also a big thing! "Since it is a robbery, it must not be under the banner of the 27th Division.

"We can't make trouble for ourselves, under the banner of ordinary bandits, the great powers will definitely accuse them of failing to maintain law and order, and then take the opportunity to expand Shili in the three eastern provinces." Zhang Zuoxiang thought about it while saying: "Otherwise, in the name of the bandits, the pressure on the three eastern provinces will be much less!" ”

Daddy's plan is not bad, but there are still loopholes, how can the bandits be familiar with the situation on the Middle Road! Besides, everyone knows that the Mongolian bandits are all supported by the Russians, and they dare to rob their masters, so it is not convincing. And it will also give the great powers an excuse to intervene in Mongolia, and the gains outweigh the losses.

However, this proposal inspired Zhang Tinglan, he rolled his eyes, and finally had an idea, and said with a smile: "Seventh master, do you remember the matter of counterfeit money, I am going to use the Russians to top the tank, I think the two things can be combined." To create a false impression that the Great Powers were active in the territory of the three eastern provinces a large number of anti-tsarist organizations, who printed counterfeit money, looted arms, and accumulated liliang. In this way, China will be completely taken out, and if there are any problems, they are all caused by the Russians, and they have nothing to do with us! ”

When Zhang Zuolin heard this, his eyes lit up, indeed this is a good way, the Russians themselves have a problem, they have to be responsible, the three major powers naturally cannot form a joint force to deal with China together, to put it bluntly, it is to use the Russian resistance organization to muddy the waters, take advantage of the lack of attention of the powers, vigorously reap the benefits, and strengthen the force.

"It's a good idea, but to make the play realistic, it's better to have some Russians involved."

"Seventh Master, don't worry, I have bought a lot of Russians through smuggling into Russia during this time, and I think I can make things seamless."

"Good!" Zhang Zuolin finally showed a smile on his face: "As long as we take down this batch of arms, we are enough to dominate Fengtian, no matter what Duan Zhigui is, what Feng Delin is." ”

Saying that, Lao Zhang thought about it again, and then said to Zhang Zuoxiang: "Fu Chen, this major task can only be entrusted to you, I can rest assured, whatever manpower you need, you can choose at will, I will give my full support!" ”

"Yuting, to do this kind of thing, the most important thing is to keep it secret, and secondly, it must be done quickly, and the weapons and personnel must be well-matched!"

"Well, I will immediately transfer the independent brigade out of the city in the name of suppressing bandits, and you will have full authority to handle the rest of the matter, in addition, Tinglan is shrewd, let him follow, if there is any emergency, discuss it with Tinglan!"

After Lao Zhang explained clearly, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan immediately went to select people, and learned from Fred that the person in charge of guarding was a Japanese squadron, with nearly 200 soldiers. Don't look at the small number of people, most of these Japanese soldiers have experienced the Russo-Japanese War and are the most ferocious soldiers.

If you can't do it quickly, you are likely to be dragged back by them, and with the railway line guarding, reinforcements will soon arrive, and the robbery will not only fail to succeed, but will also invite huge losses and unpredictable trouble. Therefore, it is very important in the selection of personnel, first of all, excellent marksmanship, good obedience, and preferably a horse-drawn carriage.

In addition, the accompanying weapons must also be the most haode, light and heavy machine guns, explosives used to blow up the railway, and each soldier must carry enough ammunition, which has been arranged by Zhang Zuoxiang himself, and he is not negligent at all.

The main personnel were selected from the artillery battalion, and these soldiers had followed Zhang Zuoxiang for many years and had strong combat effectiveness in the Feng army. Moreover, after Yang Yuting's training, the quality of the soldiers has improved greatly, and they are no longer the original bandits, and they have begun to have the taste of a regular army, so they are the most suitable personnel.

"Humble words, what is the big move to dispatch troops, right?" Yang Yuting took the initiative to find Zhang Tinglan.

Zhang Tinglan did not consider Yang Yuting when arranging the robbery, firstly, because he had been integrated into the Feng system for a short time, and secondly, subconsciously, Zhang Tinglan classified him into the pro-Japanese faction and was unwilling to let him participate. However, Yang Yuting asked, and Zhang Tinglan also wanted to test it.

"Mr. Yang, during this period of time you have been training artillery, you have been doubting the origin of heavy artillery, right?"

Yang Yuting nodded immediately, of course he knew that these four artillery pieces were the most haode field artillery, not even Beiyang, and the great powers would not easily export to China, Lao Zhang must have relied on special means to get it.

"Humble words, with all due respect, are these guns smuggled in?"

"It can also be said that in fact, this batch of artillery was produced by the United States for Tsarist Russia, and then I bought off high-ranking Russian officials and got it into my hands. Now another batch of artillery will be transported to Russia through the Middle East Road. ”

"Are you going to grab arms?" Yang Yuting was dumbfounded, he had heard Zhang Zuolin say that Zhang Tinglan could get artillery, and he had also thought of many ways, but he didn't think that the young man in front of him, who was less than twenty, was so bold. dared to break ground on Taishuitou, but the more he listened to the madness, the more excited Yang Yuting became.

"Humble words, do you think I'll give you a hand?" Yang Yuting asked with a blushing face.

"Isn't Mr. Yang afraid?"

Yang Yuting smiled: "Of course I'm afraid, but if you want to eat, you can't be afraid of being hot, I'm in charge of artillery training, just let me manage the four guns, Yang can't afford to lose that person!" ”

Zhang Tinglan has been observing carefully, and found that Yang Yuting said these things completely from the bottom of his heart, so he also had a plan to let him participate. After all, Zhang Tinglan knew that Yang Yuting would soar in the Feng Department sooner or later, and being able to drag him to participate in the secret operation would undoubtedly enhance the friendship between the two parties.

And Yang Yuting himself is also a talent, let him plan together, the action plan will be more effective. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan did not hesitate to pull him in, Yang Yuting is not only a talent, but also understands the habits of Japanese soldiers, so with his participation, the action plan is more and more perfect.

At the same time, a total of 600 elite soldiers were also ready, and at this moment, the exact information also came, and in five days, a train full of munitions would pass through Mukden.

The time for the operation has also arrived, just before leaving, Zhang Zuolin secretly came to the barracks, Lao Zhang was the most concerned about this operation, he took Zhang Zuoxiang's hand.

"Fu Chen, thank you for your hard work, whether our Fengjun flies to the sky to be a dragon or a worm on the ground, it's just one move, you have to bother more!"

"Yuting, you can rest assured."

"Seventh Master, after exchanging Japan's three million, the ticket has stabilized, if there is any fluctuation, you can discuss it directly with Wang Yongjiang, he definitely has a way to deal with it. In addition, I suggest that you toss and turn in Mukden, while investigating the counterfeit money case with great fanfare, and on the other hand, get the troops' drills and training, attract the attention of all parties, and cover our robbery operation! ”

Zhang Zuolin also nodded in agreement, Zhang Zuoxiang randomly led the troops to quietly leave the barracks, bypassing Fengtian City, and went straight to the north, Sun Anhu had already gone to Harbin to receive gold, so he was very familiar with the route, and he acted as a guide to lead the way in front. The six hundred cavalrymen, each with two or even three horses, could ensure their physical strength, and when they returned, they could carry munitions, and their actions were like a whirlwind, and they quickly blew to the north.

After walking for more than three days, they came to Xiaowangzhuang, which was only 30 kilometers away from Changtu, which was the site of the pre-prepared ambush. The exhausted soldiers all rested and recovered their strength as soon as possible, and Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Tinglan and others could not rest.

In more than a day, the military column will pass through here, and the success or failure will depend on this time!
