Chapter 530: The World Looks North

Boom Boom Boom ......

The heavy artillery roared incessantly, and shells fell to the ground, creating a no-man's land, and a large number of Japanese soldiers died under the shelling, and corpses were scattered everywhere.

There were also clever men among the Japanese soldiers, who immediately got into the crater after the shell exploded, and according to their thoughts, it was difficult to have two shells in the same pit, so they could get away with it.

The idea was indeed good, and they did ensure safety for a while, but then the armored vehicle killed them, and the huge steel monster rushed towards them with impunity. The machine guns on the armored vehicles were like the scythes of death, quickly harvesting the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Even if they are not killed, after the armored car drives over, it can be crushed into a pile of meat sauce with its huge tracks, and the shocking blood-colored scars on the battlefield are their masterpieces, and the rumbling roar of the armored car is the prelude to death, which makes the Japanese tremble and fly with fear!

Compared with the European powers that experienced World War I, the Japanese were an afterthought, and their army had not yet had time to deploy anti-tank weapons, and even grenadiers and grenades were seriously insufficient, and the only way to deal with armored vehicles was explosive packs.

Although there were heavy casualties, there were still a few brave Japanese soldiers, holding explosive bags, and frantically rushed to the armored car, trying to blow up these big guys. However, the soldiers of the Feng army were also prepared, they followed behind the armored car with submachine guns, and for these brave guys, they fired mercilessly, and they were all swept down.

After paying three armored vehicles, the Feng army successfully broke through the defense line of the Japanese army, Zhang Henian also drove all the cavalry from the flank, and blocked the retreat of the Japanese north, Nishikawa Torajiro and his men were successfully made dumplings by the Feng army. Life and death are all in the thought of Feng Jun......

"The Japanese army has flagrantly violated the Chinese border, and the defenders of our Outer Mongolia have been forced to take self-defense counterattacks, and the soldiers at the front are fighting bloody battles with the enemy. The officers and men of Feng have the confidence and ability to shoulder the responsibility of defending the homeland and the country, and resolutely defend the territorial sovereignty. Here, on behalf of the officers and men of Feng, I would like to issue a strong warning to the Japanese Government to immediately stop its aggression on China's territory and compensate the Chinese side for its losses. And control the escalation of the situation. ”

Zhang Tinglan made a brief statement to all the reporters with an expressionless face, but one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the reporters were dumbfounded. I even wonder if there is something wrong with my ears.

Since the First Sino-Japanese War, China and Japan have been old enemies. But Japan has already become a great power. China is still a big piece of fat, any great power can reap the benefits of China, the just-concluded Paris Peace Conference, China has suffered unprecedented humiliation, as a victorious country, still has to be fished and fleshed. The country is even more fragmented.

Take Fengjun as an example, half a year ago, Zhang Zuolin was killed by a bombing during the tour of the three eastern provinces, and many people locked the murderer on the Japanese. At that time, there was speculation that the two sides might start a war, but Zuihou couldn't do it, and it was obvious that the Feng army had not yet had the capital to fight the Japanese, but now how could there be a war without warning, everyone was puzzled.

For Chinese journalists, Zhang Tinglan's words are like a shot in the arm, it seems that such a tough statement only exists in history books, but in reality, from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to Beiyang, all of them are bent to the knee to do diplomacy, and in the face of the whale swallowing and encroachment of the foreign powers, they can only swallow their anger and suffer humiliation.

China needs strongmen, and the government needs to be tough. Now Zhang Tinglan's statement made everyone refreshed, and they couldn't help cheering loudly.

"Zhang Shuai, can you tell us more about this conflict? If the Japanese expand their aggression, what will the Feng army take in response, and will you continue to be tough? A young reporter asked aloud.

"These are the very problems I want to introduce to you, and on December 29, a Japanese army, together with the White Russian cavalry, tried to force its way into our Outer Mongolia region, and in the face of the warnings of the border guards, they turned a blind eye and brazenly invaded our border. The border guards fought back, and before this press conference, I had already received accurate information from the front, and the border guards had achieved a preliminary victory. ”

Victory! Simple two words, but for China, it is too luxurious, and all that generations have heard is failure, continuous failure, no matter what country, can bully the heads of the Chinese. Even if you finally win once, you will end up with an undefeated result. Now that the Feng army can win the battle, it is really more exciting than any news, and the Chinese reporters present immediately clapped their hands, along with other elites from all walks of life, also stood up and slapped hard.

The applause was like a tide, and the slaps were red, but he didn't care, Zhang Tinglan saw these high-spirited crowds, and his heart was also very excited, the people's hearts were available, even if it was really inevitable to fight directly with Japan, Fengjun was not afraid of the Japanese, the big deal was a fish to death!

"There is only one criterion for the border guards to do things, that is, to resolutely defend China's national interests, and will not be soft on any aggressor, if Japan continues to expand its aggression, the border guards will accompany it to the end, I believe that with 40,000 compatriots as a strong backing, Zuihou's victory will definitely belong to us!"

Zhang Tinglan's speech was quickly drowned in a round of warm applause, and those foreign reporters all looked at each other with shocked expressions when they saw such a warm scene. Although it is not clear what exactly happened, they found an unprecedented confidence in Zhang Tinglan, and the Chinese dared to say no to the foreign powers. In the face of the intimidation of force, instead of fear, they have the courage to hold guns and defend their rights.

In a trance, these reporters realized that the press conference was like a grand declaration, that the ancient country had begun to take an unusual path, and that they had to get the news out as soon as possible.

As soon as the news conference ended, Zhang Tinglan issued an order, demanding that all border guards enter a state of first-class combat readiness, that soldiers on leave should return as soon as possible, that all localities should enter a quasi-wartime system, and that military factories should operate in three shifts and overnight. Provide ample weapons.

The militias in various places were also called up to replenish the attrition of the army at any time, some key areas entered the state of officers, and large forces of the Feng army began to assemble along the South Manchurian Railway. In addition, according to the National Defense Mobilization Act, young people of appropriate age in the three eastern provinces, including Rehe, must take the initiative to register and be ready to be drafted at any time.

After Zhang Tinglan came to power, he fully supported Wang Yongjiang to carry out drastic reforms to the government, and the efficiency was far from being comparable to that of the Zhang Zuolin era. As a result, mobilization is smoother. Young people from all over the country, colleges and universities, are lined up, young people are rushing to sign up, and the enthusiasm is unusual.

Just while preparing for war. Zhang Tinglan sent a telegram to the Beiyang government, asking Beiyang to support the legitimate actions of the Feng army. Stand together. Defend the interests of the country.

Compared with the single-mindedness of the Feng army and the rapid preparation, the Japanese side fell into a short-term chaos. This gold snatching operation was mainly responsible for the Japanese intervention forces, and the commander Motonari Oi single-handedly planned it, and the Japanese government was not entirely aware of it.

Motosei Oi also has his own considerations, and the amount of gold is not clear. Russia is another mess, and he will not be subject to the orders of foreign kings, and he will do it completely by himself, after getting the gold. Then report to the country, and everything will be fine.

But the Feng army killed halfway and robbed the gold, and then Nishikawa Torajiro desperately chased after him, and Oi Motonari also agreed, after all, letting China snatch the gold was simply the biggest insult to Japan. But after chasing all the way to the Chinese border, things got out of control, and Nishikawa Torajiro rushed directly into the Chinese border and fired the first shot.

Immediately afterwards, the Feng army counterattacked decisively and gained an advantage on the battlefield, which immediately put the Japanese government in an embarrassing situation. For this conflict, they were not prepared at all, everything lagged behind the Feng army, and even the Japanese government relied on Zhang Tinglan's press conference to find out the situation at the front.

Prime Minister Hara Kei suddenly burst into a rage, hurriedly asked Oi Motonari to explain clearly, and called all the cabinet members together to discuss the situation.

War Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka jumped like thunder, and his voice was the loudest: "This is a provocation by the Chinese to the Empire, thousands of imperial warriors have been attacked by the Feng army, this is an indisputable fact, the Imperial must not allow the existence of such a provocative situation, we must immediately mobilize and wage war against the Chinese to completely wipe out the Feng army, this scourge can no longer be connived!" ”

Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida's brows furrowed, and he hurriedly said: "Tanaka-kun, in Fengtian, the whole army is in the military, and its strength should not be underestimated. After Zhang Zuolin's death, the Feng army was not weakened because of the turmoil, on the contrary, Zhang Tinglan directly grasped the power and carried out drastic reforms. ”

"Hmph, the Feng army is developing rapidly, but the empire has drastically reduced military spending in the past two years, and invested all the limited funds in the navy, we must review the wrong policy."

"Don't talk too far, or discuss the matter in front of us, what should we do?" Hara Kei spoke out to stop Yoshiichi Tanaka.

After thinking about it, Uchida said: "Prime Minister, war is a reckless method used only when Zuihou is forced to do so, and when the empire and the Feng army clash, the origin of everything is the gold of Russia. This gold is not only valued by the empire, but also coveted by other powers, but it has fallen into the hands of the Feng army, we should seize the gold to make a fuss, and should not be led by the nose by the Feng army! ”

Yuan Jing's eyes narrowed, and he nodded slightly: "This method is good, the people of China are not self-sufficient, and they want to swallow gold, it is simply wishful thinking, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately contacted the United States, Britain, France and other countries, asking all countries to put pressure on the Feng army, hand over the gold, and compensate for the loss of the empire." ”

Tanaka Yoshiichi said: "Prime Minister, Nishikawa Torajiro is still fighting against the Shina people with thousands of imperial warriors, and the situation is very dangerous, don't you care?" ”

"Xichuan is arrogant and should be punished, immediately order him to lead the troops to retreat and atone for his crimes!" Yuan Jing said: "Tanaka-kun, although the people of Shina have taken advantage of it for the time being, we have to make them vomit it twice!" ”

There was a military conflict between China and Japan, and the muddy waters of the Far East became more and more muddy, and almost all the great powers were stirred up, and the Shijie countries were once again side-eyed.

And after the news reached the Chinese mainland, it was no less than a thunderbolt, shaking everyone's heart, China's army finally dared to safeguard the country's sovereignty, this is the moment that many hot-blooded men are looking forward to.

"Let's go together, let's go to Mukden, go to Outer Mongolia, and defend our country!" In front of the auditorium of the university, a young student shouted loudly: "Let's not wait here any longer, listen to those disease-free moaning, handing out leaflets, shouting slogans, we can't save our country, we must fight with our own hands, sweat, and lives to defend this country!" ”

"Yes, we're all joining the Feng Army! Defend the country! ”

Beijing, Tianjin, which is closest to the three eastern provinces, is boiling again, and the students are once again acting as the main force, but this time it is obviously different from the past, they have gradually drifted away from those spiritual teachers in the past.

"Look at it, these young people are too confused, the Feng army robbed other people's gold, and they were beaten to the door by the powers, but they stupidly fought to be cannon fodder, there is really no cure, there is no cure!" (To be continued......)
