Chapter 155: Chifeng Changed Hands
Mi Zhenbiao is Jiang Guidi's deputy, the number two person in the Yi Army, and he was caught by Fengjun, which is definitely a big thing that shakes the world.
Wu Kaijie couldn't hide his excitement and said to Zhang Tinglan: "Regiment leader, Mi Zhenbiao led more than 300 cavalry and guards to escape, wanting to return to Rehe. After we found out, we have been chasing relentlessly, killing more than 50 Mi Zhenbiao guards along the way, and more than 200 people ran away, until the second half of the night, this old guy panicked, ran to a valley, but the valley did not exit, we blocked the valley mouth, came to an urn to catch turtles! ”
Speaking of which, Wu Kaijie is also full of energy, very proud, in the past, except for sporadic battles with Mongolian bandits, this is the largest battle he has participated in, and the first battle was won, he grabbed the commander of the other party, making his confidence skyrocket.
Of course, Wu Kaijie is indeed worth being happy about, he used similar forces to chase Mi Zhenbiao to the sky and the ground, Zuihou was captured alive and became a prisoner of the Feng army, which can be called a great achievement.
Mi Zhenbiao was brought over while speaking, the old guy is now in his sixties, his face is covered with wind and frost, one leg seems to be injured, he walks with a limp, and the soldiers push and hug him and bring him to Zhang Tinglan.
The old guy snorted coldly in his nose, twisted his face, and didn't look at Zhang Tinglan at all, in fact, it wasn't that he wanted to pretend to be a hero, but he was really shameless, he was beaten by a junior and almost wiped out the whole army, and he became a prisoner, so he really had no face.
Zhang Tinglan knew that in history, after Mi Zhenbiao took over the Yi Army, he acted capriciously, and whoever was strong would take refuge in whomever he wanted, and he had no good opinion of this kind of person.
"Commander Mi, you don't have to pretend to be a hero. We won't kill you. However, along the way, you connived at your subordinates, did evil, and brutalized the people, and the evidence is conclusive. I will send you to Beijing with the evidence and ask the military court to adjudicate! ”
After Zhang Tinglan said this, he waved his hand and asked Mi Zhenbiao to take him away, and at this time, Mi Zhenbiao only felt like he was hit by five thunders. It's not a shame to be defeated and captured, even if you are defeated by a junior and stuff your head into your crotch, you can still live.
But court-martialed is a different story. He invaded Mukden and was called the New Opium War by the press, and Mi Zhenbiao's reputation can be imagined, once he went to a military court, even if he was lucky enough not to die. is also ruined, and what face will there be to command the troops at that time. It's a comeback.
At this time, Mi Zhenbiao felt the viciousness of his opponent. Zhang Tinglan played the banner above board, respected the law, and respected the Beiyang government, but in fact, he pushed the trouble to Beiyang, and at the same time made Mi Zhenbiao and even the entire Yi Army recover. The intentions are very sinister.
"I am willing to take refuge in the Feng army, I still have tens of thousands of brothers, as long as I am given a way to live, I am willing to surrender!" Mi Zhenbiao can't care about face anymore. He opened his throat and shouted.
"Commander Mi, the friction between the two provinces can't talk about surrendering or not surrendering, and with the quality of the Yi Army, it is not uncommon for us to surrender, so let's go to Beijing honestly."
It is true that the combat effectiveness of the Yi army is not good, there are a lot of problems, if this kind of ruffian is co-opted, it will only ruin the atmosphere of the Feng army, no matter how Mi Zhenbiao shouts, Zhang Tinglan doesn't care, and directly asks people to be sent to Fengtian overnight.
Dealt with Mi Zhenbiao, at this time the results of the Feng army were also counted, a total of more than 1,600 Yi soldiers were killed, more than 1,800 prisoners, more than 3,000 guns of various kinds were captured, two old-fashioned artillery, 130,000 oceans, 15 loads of tobacco, and more than 700 war horses, half of which were collected by the streamer, if the people and horses were counted together, the number of streamer prisoners was the largest, even if Zhang Xueliang used a climbing plow.
The captured things are not too few, Zhang Tinglan is still very satisfied, especially the war horse is even more precious, he accepted the things, and he commanded the soldiers to clean the battlefield thoroughly, and those bullet casings had to be recovered. Now that the Feng army has been able to produce bullets, these cartridge casings can't be thrown casually, it's all copper.
In addition to collecting shells, shell fragments were also disposed of, especially for 122-mm howitzers, which had to be recovered and craters had to be filled. There is no way to be so careful, the Japanese have too long claws, and many Mongolian bandits are actually supported by the Japanese, and if a little news is leaked, it will still be a big trouble.
After working for most of the day, the battlefield was cleaned up, and those prisoners had to be dealt with, Zhang Tinglan gathered them all together, a large area of black pressure, they were all hungry and cold, from the beginning of the war, to now basically no food, and some people lost their shoes and hats when they escaped, the weather was cold, and it was extremely miserable.
"Boss, the brothers don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, and they offend the tiger power of Fengjun, please don't be surprised, and reward the brothers for a way to live!" An officer-like man pleaded.
"yes, yes." Someone else spoke: "The brothers are willing to serve the army, and they are at the mercy of the command, and they have no complaint before and after the saddle of the horse!" ”
If it is said that the Feng army in the past, I hope that its strength can be strengthened, and the prisoners of war must be absorbed. However, since Zhang Tinglan proposed the regularization construction, the concept of the Feng army has also changed, and it is better to raise 10,000 ruffians who may defect at any time than to train a new army of 1,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of the two is completely incomparable.
This time Zhang Tinglan and the Yi army clashed, the sacrificed soldiers were only more than 110 people, and the light and serious wounded were counted, less than 300, compared with the Yi army, it was more than ten times less, this is still the result of a lack of combat experience, if they are fighting for a period of time, cleaning up such soldiers' oil, it is a matter of passing away, there is no need to waste food on them.
"Fengjun Temple is small, and it can't accommodate all the great gods!"
"Sir, since that's the case, you can do it, let us go, it's the New Year, the villain will pick up the bowl, and he will definitely think of you."
Zhang Tinglan sneered: "Don't dream, how many sins you have done, you know yourself, you must accept the punishment, and all the officers will stand up." ”
As soon as these captives saw Zhang Tinglan's fierce words, they knew that something was wrong, and they were a little hesitant, but the soldiers of the Feng army didn't care about this, they rushed to the ranks of the captives, and quickly brought out all the officers, leaving only a group of big-headed soldiers trembling and waiting to be dealt with.
"All ordinary soldiers go to Fengtian to serve ten years of hard labor, if you work honestly, you may still have a chance, if you dare to play tricks, ten years of hard labor may become a lifetime, never think of it."
In Tongliao, Zhang Tinglan still has more than 80,000 victims to be responsible, as long as the New Year is turned, there will be countless farm work to do, in the future, Fengtian will have to build railways and roads, cities will also be built, everywhere needs manpower, in line with the principle of not wasting resources, Zhang Tinglan decided to send these Yi soldiers to Fengtian, as hard labor.
As for those officers, they were all handed over to Yu Chonghan, after all, the relationship between these people is complicated, and the warlords of the Republic of China try to avoid killing them all, because a bunch of miscellaneous people affect the image of the Feng army. Of course, they don't want to be cheap, those who are guilty of the most heinous crimes have to be dealt with, and the others will pay honestly, and if they don't squeeze out the bone marrow oil, they will definitely not be released.
Just when Zhang Tinglan commanded his subordinates to eliminate the Yi army, Wu Junsheng also took the cavalry around in a big circle, and then went south to Chifeng. It is particularly difficult to carry out a long-distance run in winter, and the northwest wind blows on the body like a knife, which makes people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
Lao Wu and his subordinates were wrapped in sheepskin jackets and dogskin hats, like a big bear, and their faces and hands were smeared with a layer of meat oil, in order to prevent blowing, but even so, the corners of the mouth and fingers were cracked.
Of course, Wu Junsheng's fighting spirit is still very high, when reporting to Zhang Zuolin, Lao Zhang has already made a promise, as long as Chifeng is defeated and the horse farm north of the Rehe River is controlled, Wu Junsheng's cavalry brigade will be expanded into a cavalry division, and all weapons and funds will be contracted by Lao Zhang.
This gave Wu Junsheng a reassurance, who doesn't want to expand his strength, who doesn't want to grasp more power, in order to achieve this goal, no matter how much hardship he endures, no matter how tired he is, it is worth it.
I said...... Brothers, cheer me up, not far ahead is Chifeng, take Chifeng, Mi Zhenbiao will become a lost dog, he wants to get through Liao, let's come to a siege Wei to save Zhao, go straight to his nest. ”
At this time, Wu Junsheng didn't know that Zhang Tinglan had already cleaned up Mi Zhenbiao, he was holding an iron lunch box in his hand, sucking and drinking the noodle soup cooked with canned cabbage, the hot noodle soup floated with a thick layer of oil, and there were big pieces of meat in it, not to mention how comfortable it was to eat in the stomach.
These things were also specially prepared by Zhang Tinglan for Lao Wu, and the winter march and war must have sufficient energy to ensure it, otherwise before he arrived at Chifeng, he would be tired and lie down first. Watching his soldiers gobble up, Wu Junsheng was also very emotional, Lao Zhang had the support of the Fengtian business community behind him, and the resources in his hands far exceeded those of others.
Originally, Lao Zhang, Feng Delin, Wu Junsheng, plus their eldest brother Ma Longtan, were regarded as the four giants of the Fengjun, but now, the other three people together are not Lao Zhang's opponents, the small canned food and lunch box speak for themselves, it's ridiculous that Feng Delin doesn't measure himself, and he still wants to compete with Zhang Zuolin.
Wu Junsheng sneered in his heart, if he wants to mix well, he must either be the boss himself, or follow a boss with a bright future, Lao Wu has obviously made a decision.
After eating and drinking, Wu Junsheng and his subordinates rushed south like a gust of wind, and soon Chifeng had appeared in sight. At this time, Lao Wu and the cavalry finally rushed to the official road, and the merchants who came and went suddenly saw a dusty cavalry, as if falling from the sky, these people were stupid.
Lao Wu directly dispersed them, and led the rush towards Chifeng, Mi Zhenbiao took almost all of Chifeng's troops away, leaving only some old and weak soldiers to manage the daily order, as soon as they saw this cavalry, they thought that Mi Zhenbiao led the troops to return victorious!
Who knew that it was their opponent who was coming, Wu Junsheng rushed to the front of the pass, and as soon as he raised his hand, he killed a few confused guard soldiers and directly entered Chifeng. (To be continued......)
