"How's it going?"

Wang Yongjiang was only a civilian official, and he had not yet been able to command the battle, and since Guo Songling began to attack, he had been in the basement, anxiously waiting for news from all sides.

"Guo Songling is also a fierce general, his troops are attacking fiercely, except for a few veterans on our side, they are all a bunch of rookies, and they can maintain a little fighting spirit at the beginning, but now after a day or two, the combat effectiveness is seriously weakened, the wounded are increasing, and the pressure is not small!"

"No matter how big you are, you have to hold on, you must wait until Humble Yan leads the troops back to help, otherwise Fengtian will be completely finished."

"Governor Wang, don't worry, I have asked the special combat team to infiltrate the rear of Guo's department and launch a propaganda offensive, calling on the soldiers to serve the army and not fight the Fengjun, and the muzzle of the gun is outside. This propaganda has already worked, and the offensive still looks very fierce, but many officers and soldiers on the front line have already released their water. Many of Guo Songling's subordinate officers are from the martial arts hall, Guo Songling is their teacher, and I, Yang Yuting, am the same, and I am still their university president, and these young people are also more difficult. ”

Wang Yongjiang sighed: "This is from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!" Everyone is a compatriot raised by water and soil, but now they are killing each other, which is really a pity! ”

Yang Yuting's expression was a little relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Governor Wang, if you don't mess up, I will say something unkind, the first marshal can be called a hero, but if you want to count on him to lead us against the Japanese, he doesn't have the ability and means yet." Now that Fengjun's family business has been laid, he is dead, which is also a chance for those who come after him. After this rebellion, the old school Shili in the Feng army completely collapsed, Guo Songling originally had the best relationship with the young marshal, and the old marshal promoted him without wanting to restrain the humble words. But after this time, all these obstacles are gone. I am full of confidence in the prospects of the army in the future! ”

Wang Yongjiang didn't know that this turmoil was actually a phoenix nirvana, and it was a good opportunity for the Feng army to be completely reborn. However, he also knows that Phoenix Nirvana is not a simple matter, but a matter of life and death.

"Lingge, Mr. Min Yuan, I have two pieces of news for you." Chang Yinhuai, who was in charge of intelligence, ran in, still covered with dust and gunsmoke.

"There's good news and bad news, which are you going to hear?"

"When, do you still have the heart to tease the boring child!" Yang Yuting scolded with a smile: "Let's talk about haode first." We've been depressed for so long, it's time to be happy! ”

"Kan Chaoxi's rebels are finished." Chang Yinhuai said with a smile: "Clumsy Yan threw out a large number of leaflets, and as a result, Kan Chaoxi's military spirit collapsed, and Kan Chaoxi was killed by his subordinates. The Feng army that was originally collected by Beiyang in the past. Most of them have returned, and are our warriors again. ”

"Good! That's great! Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "The three eastern provinces are just empty. Able to bring these soldiers back. It's a great thing, and it's gratifying. ”

Yang Yuting also nodded: "Without the threat of Kan Chaoxi, I can lead my troops back to help, and the clouds of the day will disperse." ”

"Chief of Staff, don't be happy yet, trouble is coming. The Japanese Kwantung Army has already been dispatched. ”

As soon as they heard this, Yang Yuting and Wang Yongjiang's faces showed a look of horror, as a great power, the threat of the Japanese was still too great. Especially when the Feng army was at its weakest, in the event of a direct conflict between the two sides, the tide of the battle could be reversed, and they could not help but worry.

"How many men did the Japanese send and where did they go?"

"The Japanese sent a total of one brigade, which was in Liaoyang at this time."

"What?" When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he immediately stood up: "Liaoyang is only sixty kilometers away from us, if you take a train, you can kill it in two hours, isn't this Fengtian dangerous?" ”

"Mr. Minyuan, don't be impatient, the Japanese can't enter Fengtian, we already have troops to block the Japanese in Liaoyang." Chang Yinhuai said with a smile: "Jiang Dengxuan led two brigades and an artillery regiment to wait for Liaoyang and cut off the railway, and the Japanese didn't even want to rush over." ”

When Yang Yuting heard this, he finally came to his senses, and said with a smile: "The humble words are really hidden deep enough, when he sent troops, he also said that he would let Jiang Dengxuan go north and accompany the auxiliary commander to quell the rebellion." It turned out to be a false shot, and it was placed in Liaoyang to block the Japanese, and it was clumsy to say that this trick was cleverly played! ”

Wang Yongjiang also sat on the chair at this time, with a look of emotion, and said with a smile: "Let's do our best here, recruit people everywhere, arm the students and workers, and fight to the death." As a result, 60 kilometers away from us, there was a force of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, standing still, watching us desperately, and the humble words could really be imagined. ”

"It's unexpected." Yang Yuting said with a smile: "But this time I made the right bet, if there is no such force, the Japanese will drive straight into Mukden, and things will not be able to be cleaned up, maybe we will go to war directly." ”

"Director Chang, isn't it a good thing to block the Japanese, how can you say it's bad news?"

"Mr. Minyuan, the Japanese are not people who are willing to suffer, they have strengthened their mobilization, and the follow-up troops of the Kwantung Army are also rushing to Liaoyang, it seems that they are preparing to really use force."

As soon as he heard that the Japanese were still preparing to use force, Wang Yongjiang's brows were twisted into a pimple, and this rebellion in front of him was not a trivial matter, and for the Feng army, it was even to the point of breaking the muscles and bones. Even if Zhang Tinglan collected the men and horses in the pass again, the current loss of men and horses exceeded 50,000.

Of course, these 50,000 people are not all dead, but the establishment has been scattered, and some have followed the rebels, which are no longer reliable and must be cleaned up, and the total strength of the Feng army has fallen below 100,000 at once; Zhang Zuolin went out of the customs, and the military expenditure before and after the counterinsurgency exceeded 150 million oceans; The war has spread to Mukden, the center of the three eastern provinces, and the potential impact on the economy is even greater.

To put it bluntly, it is really difficult to say that the Feng army has reached a very weak point, and if the Japanese attack again, it is really difficult to say whether they can resist it!

Just when Wang Yongjiang and Yang Yuting were worried, the Japanese operation had already begun, and Consul General Akajiri Masasuke of Mukden summoned reporters from all sides to the Japanese Consulate General and held a press conference on an unprecedented scale.

Akajiri Massuke faced all the reporters and first said, "Hello fellow journalists, I am here to announce an important thing to everyone. As we all know, after the assassination of Zhang Zuolin by the Fengtian Patrol, the three eastern provinces fell into an unprecedented rebellion, with wars everywhere and the social situation collapsed. The Empire of Japan had a large number of interests in the three eastern provinces, as well as a large number of expatriates, whose personal safety was threatened, and the Imperial Government had an obligation to protect their safety. ”

The reporters in the audience were all writing hard and they knew very well that Akajiri Massuke's words were tantamount to announcing the civil war of armed intervention in the Feng army, which was a huge shock to the situation in the Far East.

"Just one day earlier, the troops of the Great Japanese Empire had rushed to Mukden from Luda, but when they passed through Liaoyang, they were rudely obstructed by the Feng army. Feng Jun violated the treaty with the empire and cut off the South Manchurian Railway, which has affected the normal passage, this kind of behavior is a provocation to the empire, that is, a war letter to the empire, the imperial government will never let go of the Feng army, and all the consequences must be borne by them! ”

After Akajiri Shosuke finished speaking, all the reporters in the audience were boiling, this is clearly a war letter, it seems that the battle between the Feng army and the Japanese is inevitable. There were many Western journalists whispering that they were also surprised that Feng Jun had cut off the South Manchurian railway, which had long been the most important means for the Great Powers to control China. Now that the Feng army has violated this interest, they can't bear it.

At this time, the young female reporter in the audience stood up and asked Akajiri Shosuke: "Mr. Consul General, you keep saying that the Japanese expatriates are threatened, but as far as I know, the fighting took place in the southeast of Mukden, and the Japanese expatriates are inhabited in the west, so it has no impact at all. In addition, the Japanese side mobilized troops and took the initiative to go to Mukden, which was obviously an act of war, and the Fengtian army cut off the railway, which was also a legitimate means of defense. Have you pointed your knife at someone and not allowed them to block with their shield? ”

The female reporter who asked the question was less than twenty years old, but her words were very sharp, pointing directly at Akajiri Massuke's weakness, this guy was still dancing with his eyebrows just now, but in the face of these two questions, he didn't know how to answer, and there was no way to refute it.

His face was pale, and he could only say loudly: "Ms. reporter, you are not welcome here, please leave immediately!" ”

"Are you Japanese so hypocritical, vainly trying to invade other people's countries, occupy other people's territories, you are rampage on China's territory, and you are not allowed to resist by the Chinese army, you are a group of robbers, beasts in human skin!"

Everyone at the scene was a little surprised, they had never seen a white reporter, speaking for the Chinese like this, and several male reporters took the initiative to applaud the girl's bravery and integrity, and Akajiri Masasuke was extremely embarrassed.

This female reporter is Elena, more than a year ago, Fengjun rescued her from Russia, and since then, she has fallen in love with China like a demon, fell in love with the black land, and even did not hesitate to expose Akajiri Massuke's lies in public.

However, her words could not change the will of the Japanese, who were ready to use force. And at this time, Zhang Tinglan also arrived in Mukden, and the first thing he did was also to hold a press conference, the big war was just around the corner, and he did not transfer troops and generals, but played a public opinion war, which was really interesting.

Many reporters also flocked to Fengjun's camp to see what shocking news Zhang Tinglan could announce.

"Reporter friends, not long ago, Zhang Zuolin was assassinated by the patrol of the three eastern provinces, who killed Zhang Dashuai, I think this is a matter of concern to everyone, here, I want to reveal this mystery to you!" (To be continued......)
