Chapter 448: Falling from the Wind
There is nothing special on these leaflets, just an ordinary letter to the family, telling the situation at home in the voice of a mother.
The income from the farm is increasing, the gravel road has been repaired to the doorstep, the grain has been harvested again, a few more pigs have been raised, and I am thinking of building two more houses for my daughter-in-law.
Train well in the barracks, the better you perform, the higher the treatment the family can get, the taxes can be reduced, and let the younger brother join the army in the future, and the family will have a way out......
For these ordinary soldiers, the world's major events are still a little too far away, and it is these trivial things at home that can arouse their lovesickness the most. The simplest fact is that in the past two years, life has been getting better and better, the income has been getting higher and higher, and the family can have enough to eat and live a peaceful life, and all this is brought by the Feng army.
If you break away from the Feng army, can you still get such treatment, everyone doesn't count in their hearts, the treatment of the soldiers in Beiyang is much worse than them, who is willing to fall willingly!
"Damn, Lao Tzu can't give Kan Chaoxi's miscellaneous life in a daze, I want to go back to Fengtian, I want to go home!"
"Yes, I'm going home too, let's just run away!"
"Brothers, don't be rash, we are also rebels, if we just run back like this, people will investigate it, will they shoot us."
"Don't worry, look at the back of the flyer, it's still written!"
Everyone turned it over, and when they saw that it was so, it was clearly written: Return to the Fengjun, no blame for the past, if you hesitate, military law will be engaged!
Seeing this, these soldiers were already a little completely moved, after all, Kan Chaoxi was just a marginal brigade commander before. In the Feng army, the prestige is limited, and there is no way to compare with Zhang Tinglan, and the soldiers of the Feng army are homesick and do not want to wander in the pass, so more and more soldiers deserted.
The morale of the army was shaken, and the offensive on Shanhaiguan had slowed down, and the soldiers deliberately hit the artillery crookedly, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the sky, and they were placed indiscriminately. It looks very lively, but in fact, there is no fighting spirit, and everyone doesn't want to fight anymore.
At this time, the second batch of planes arrived, and more leaflets were thrown on them, with Zhang Tinglan's orders written on them. Let everyone lay down their arms and return to the ranks of the Feng army as soon as possible. Everyone is a family. The Feng army does not fight the Feng army!
This argument is very attractive, and after two consecutive rounds of paper bullet offensives, the effect was surprisingly good, the pressure on the front line began to weaken, and many soldiers returned to Shanhaiguan.
Ding Chao, who had been directing the battle, was also surprised, he was worried that he would not be able to hold the Shanhaiguan. But when he saw that a large number of soldiers abandoned Kan Chaoxi and returned to the arms of Fengjun, his admiration for Zhang Tinglan became stronger and stronger, and this young commander was simply Zhuge alive.
The daring lover had long expected that Kan Chaoxi would not be able to truly control these armies. That's why I dare to come over with only a little bit of people, this is the boldness of the artist, and the vision is really not comparable to ordinary people!
Ding Chao is full of admiration for Zhang Tinglan, in fact, Zhang Tinglan is completely gambling on the special system of the Feng army, if the Feng army is the same as other warlords' troops, there is no way to recover if they surrender, but Zhang Tinglan has injected fresh factors into the Feng army, they are incompatible with the Beiyang system, and they will definitely not last long.
Facts proved that Zhang Tinglan's judgment was completely correct, when Kan Chaoxi noticed that a soldier had secretly absconded and ran back to Shanhaiguan, he immediately saw sweat in his head, and hurriedly found Jin Yunpeng again.
"Commander-in-chief, you must be gracious, think of a way, hurry up and come up with enough funds to stabilize the morale of the army, otherwise my men will collapse."
"Waste, what did you say when you surrendered, didn't you pat your chest and promise to stabilize the morale of the army and make these troops loyal to the central government, why is there no way now?"
In the face of Jin Yunpeng's accusation, Kan Chaoxi was also speechless, and could only listen silently, but his eyes showed full disdain, the Beiyang Army was too picky, and it couldn't catch up with the generosity of the Feng Army, is this still the central government of a country, it is too disappointing.
"I'll give you a million oceans in total, you have to stabilize your subordinates and make them honest and obedient, otherwise I will let the prime minister dispose of you!"
Rich is better than nothing, after Kan Chaoxi heard it, he had to reluctantly agree, and after arriving at the command headquarters at the front, Kan Chaoxi immediately ordered to strengthen supervision, and at the same time confiscate those leaflets, if anyone dares to hide one, they will be killed on the spot.
Kan Chaoxi gathered all the soldiers together and said to everyone: "Brothers, let me tell you the news, General Guo Songling has captured Mukden, Zhang Tinglan and his son are completely finished, if you don't want to become a rebel and don't want to be wanted by the state, you can honestly obey the order." As long as I enter the three eastern provinces, I will definitely not treat you badly, and now I will distribute the ocean to everyone! ”
Kan Chaoxi said it soundly, but in fact, he only had one million oceans, and he had to give the officers a little more, and the oceans that fell into the hands of each soldier were only ten yuan, although this money was about the same as Fengjun's military salary, but all other benefits were gone, and the soldiers were also very aggrieved in their hearts, and the big guys dared to be angry one by one.
Just when Kan Chaoxi was handing out the money, two planes suddenly appeared in the sky, and after discovering that there was a large number of people on the ground, the planes swooped over at once. After Kan Chaoxi saw it, his limbs immediately became numb, but he knew how powerful the plane was, so he hurriedly looked for a hidden place.
The two planes did not fire at the crowd, but fired a shuttle of bullets into the clearing, then circled at low altitude and flew back in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
Although not a single person was killed, it broke the morale of the army, and many soldiers took the opportunity to escape the air raids and fled in all directions. The plane did not directly attack them, which meant that there was still a trace of affection and would not kill them, so there was no need for these Feng troops to run to the dark with Kan Chaoxi.
After the soldiers found an opportunity, they surrendered in groups of three or five in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and some simply acted in rows and companies together, and in just half a day, Kan Chaoxi's subordinates had already fled about a brigade.
Kan Chaoxi's Liliang was weakened exponentially, but Zhang Tinglan's troops were more and more, and these soldiers who returned to the Feng army were all concentrated, and Zhang Tinglan specially dispatched trainers. Explain the situation to them, let the soldiers know the truth about the cause of the marshal's death, and promise that they will not be held accountable for their faults.
The morale of the army was gathered up at once, and the people's hearts gradually calmed down, and Zhang Tinglan saw that the fire was almost over, so he rescattered and reorganized all these troops. For ordinary soldiers Zhang Tinglan can not be blamed in the past, but for those officers, he must be replaced, otherwise he will leave a bunch of anti-bone boys and white-eyed wolves. After that, it will be a scourge.
After some rectification, Zhang Tinglan had two more regiments of troops in his hands, and the strength and weakness between Kan Chaoxi and Kan Chaoxi had begun to reverse, and at this time, another army rushed to Shanhaiguan in a hurry. It was Ma Zhanshan's cavalry brigade that came.
"Old Ma, I'm finally looking forward to you!"
"Commander-in-Chief. It's late. Please forgive me. Ma Zhanshan was originally stationed on the front line of Chifeng, ready to assist the army entering the customs at any time, but the situation changed abruptly, the army entering the customs became a rebel, the Feng army was in a storm, and Ma Zhanshan was also anxious. I rushed over as fast as I could.
"It's not too late, it's just in time!"
Zhang Tinglan called Ma Zhanshan and Ding Chao to his headquarters, his face was very grim, and he said to them: "The two. Just got the information, Guo Songling colluded with Xu Youfang and others, and had occupied Mukden, and now Governor Wang and Chief of Staff Yang are using the factory area to engage in street fighting with the rebels, and their subordinates are basically temporarily armed troops of workers and students, and I am afraid it will be difficult to hold out for too long. ”
"Guo Songling, this guy, just doesn't know what to do, he dares to fall into the well at this time, wait for us to fight back to Fengtian, catch him, and skin him!"
"Old horse, don't be impatient, Guo Songling is not a big problem, the most troublesome thing is the Japanese." Zhang Tinglan sighed and said: "Just those rebels, scattering a few leaflets and engaging in some propaganda, can be pulled back." People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. What I can give to ordinary soldiers in the Feng Army, no one else can give it, Beiyang wants to incorporate the Feng Army, it's just a dream! ”
When Zhang Tinglan said this, he was quite confident, but Ma Zhanshan and Ding Chao also agreed with this statement very much, under Zhang Tinglan's hands, soldiers can not only get full salaries, many benefits, but also get the opportunity to study and study, with these skills, they don't have to worry about the rest of their lives, and they are still good men when they leave the barracks.
Zhang Tinglan's deepest hidden liliang is the set of military, political and civil affairs system he designed, in this system, the soldiers and the people are profitable, with the firm support of the majority of people, not to mention a few small army leaders rebelled, even Zhang Zuolin did not dare to touch him.
"The only thing that makes me jealous is the Japanese, and they have also begun to act, the South Manchurian Railway has been blocked, and arms and materials are being sent to the rebels in Heilongjiang, and the garrison in the brigade has also been mobilized, which has the taste of taking advantage of the fire to rob."
"Commander-in-chief, if the little devils dare to interfere, we will fight with them, it's a big deal to break the net, our lords in the Northeast will not be afraid of the Japanese!"
"There is a blood feud between Fengjun and Japan, and sooner or later it will be liquidated, even if the Japanese don't do it, we will take the initiative to fight them, but it's better to be a little later at this time, so that we can be more prepared."
Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said: "Old Ma, now you are ready for battle, give me the fastest speed to fight Shanhaiguan, solve these rebels, and then quickly return to Fengtian!" ”
"Yes!"
Ma Zhanshan and Ding Chao left the headquarters before and after, at this time, there was a rumbling sound of tracks, and a total of twelve armored vehicles drove over from a distance, these steel giants were displayed in the military parade, although they were very primitive and rough, but they had already shown great might.
"Great, with these iron guys opening the way, you don't have to be afraid of anything!" Ma Zhanshan looked very happy, he knew very well that the cavalry still had a strong deterrent power on the grassland, but in the face of complex fortifications and powerful machine gun fire, the advantage of the cavalry was gone, and the future was the era of armored liliang.
The armored car was the lead, Ding Chao commanded the infantry to follow closely, and then Ma Zhanshan's cavalry was on both flanks, and the attack corps of the Feng army was ready.
It was the air force that opened the prelude to the attack, and a large number of paper bullets were thrown on the heads of the soldiers outside the city, and the content written on it was very simple, that is, let them not resist, surrender directly, or not blame the past, if they followed Kan Chaoxi again, there would be only one way to die.
Kan Chaoxi has a deep hatred for these paper bullets, this thing is more powerful than a bomb, as long as a paper bullet down, the army will completely collapse, he sent his own minions, desperately collected these leaflets, shot five or six soldiers in a row, who knows that his perverse behavior has caused a greater backlash.
At this time, under the guidance of the armored car, the Feng army quickly killed this side, and there was no need to shoot at all, as long as they saw the armored car, those soldiers simply turned their guns and killed the cronies of Kan Chaoxi and the officers of Beiyang who were in charge of supervising the war, and directly acted as the leader of the Feng army.
With the cooperation of these soldiers, Kan Chaoxi's subordinates were like hot oil pouring snow, disintegrating and dissolving in an instant, and the speed of defeat and retreat was far faster than the speed of attack! (To be continued......)
