The last time he was hit by the Feng army's armored vehicles, Xu Shuzheng was still a little unconvinced, after all, the Feng army relied on the advantage of equipment to take advantage, but this time they fought again, Xu Shuzheng completely felt the gap between the two armies.

The artillery of the Feng army alone is enough to sweep through any Beiyang troops, and the artillery of the Feng army is sufficient, and the light and heavy are coordinated, forming a system, plus the training is in place, it can give full play to the combat effectiveness. However, the rest of China's armies were not proficient in civil engineering and did not know how to prepare for heavy artillery bombardment, and heavy casualties were inevitable.

In addition, the number of mortars and machine guns of the Feng army is far greater than that of Beiyang, and the grassroots firepower has an overwhelming advantage.

Seeing that more and more routs fled, the battle team did not work at all, and the soldiers who originally acted as reserves also fled one after another when they saw this situation, ignoring Xu Shuzheng's orders and running in all directions.

"Supervisor, the general trend has gone, let's hurry up!" Qu Tongfeng ran to Xu Shuzheng's side, his face was blackened by gunsmoke, as if he was the king of the stove.

"This group of Feng army's artillery is accurate and ruthless, wait any longer, we are all finished!"

Xu Shuzheng stomped his feet fiercely, gritted his back molars and said, "Let's go, take the brothers and retreat quickly." ”

For those Chahar's troops, Xu Shuzheng neither trusted nor wanted to care, but just summoned the original Beiyang old department and broke through to the outside, a total of more than 1,000 people, who hugged each other and quickly escaped from Duolun.

"Brothers, work hard, don't let Xu Shuzheng go!"

Zhang Henian personally commanded his subordinates. also quickly passed through Duolun and chased after Xu Shuzheng's remnants. Dense gunfire rang out, soldiers were constantly killed, and on the vast grassland, the Beiyang Army fell in pieces, and the bullets poured down like a storm.

These Beiyang troops ran and ran, and they also felt that something was wrong, obviously there were not many people chasing them, but the firepower of these pursuers was extremely strong. It's like they're all holding machine guns. Although they didn't understand what was going on, no one wanted to die, so they all abandoned Xu Shuzheng and fled in other directions, and some soldiers simply knelt on the side of the road. Hands up in surrender!

"Don't get in the way, and kneel honestly by the roadside. Someone is going to take you over! ”

After Zhang Henian said hello. He continued to run with his soldiers, but he didn't have the spirit to care about these captives. There were fewer and fewer soldiers around Xu Shuzheng, and there were less than three or five hundred left, and the rate of reduction was getting faster and faster.

Xiao Xu's heart is getting colder and colder, if there are thousands of people following, there is still a glimmer of life on the grassland. If only a few hundred people remained, I am afraid that the bandits alone could kill them.

And Xu Shuzheng also felt that the firepower of the pursuing Feng army was obviously abnormal, and he hurriedly asked Qu Tongfeng beside him: "Is the Feng army equipped with any new weapons?" ”

Yes, some of the brothers saw it. They used strange-looking guns that they had never seen before, and they were able to fire continuously, and most of our brothers were killed, and the rest were scattered! ”

"Bastard!" Xu Shuzheng gritted his teeth, and he didn't know whether to scold the Feng army, or the Beiyang army that escaped, he barely ran for a while, the team was obviously thinned, Xiao Xu had to pull Qu Tongfeng over, and said in a low voice: "We can't run like this, otherwise we will be caught by the Feng army sooner or later." ”

"That's right, Superintendent, let's leave the brigade quickly, and then find a few horses, and we can escape from the grassland."

After discussing, Xu Shuzheng and Qu Tongfeng quietly left the large army with a few guards, and when they saw a direction, they ran down. They all used all their strength, and their legs became heavier and heavier, but they didn't dare to stop at all, the only thing that made Xu Shuzheng feel relieved was that the gunfire behind him was getting farther and farther, and it seemed that they really avoided the pursuers.

At this time, Sun Anhu led the soldiers to basically control Duolun, and after a battle, the total number of soldiers who died at the hands of the Feng army was about two thousand, and there were six or seven thousand prisoners, and the rest fled to the grassland, and they could not be captured for the time being.

As for the Feng army, less than 70 soldiers were killed, and more than 100 others were wounded to varying degrees, and the losses were basically very light. After taking control of Duolun, Sun Anhu sent a telegram to Zhang Tinglan while restoring order in the city.

Just when the reason was captured, the Feng army found the merchants and Mongolian princes who were seized by Xu Shuzheng, King De and others were originally used as a treasury by Xu Shuzheng, and they were all imprisoned, and now Xiao Xu's subordinates are about to break out, and they have not had time to escape, and they all fall into the control of the Feng army.

After Sun Anhu got the report, he was also surprised, King De is the most powerful prince in Inner Mongolia, and his influence is very great, Zhang Tinglan has now become a patrol envoy in Mongolia, so he can't help but make friends with these guys.

"Bring King De here, I want him to talk."

After Sun Anhu gave the order, a few soldiers walked into the office with a young man who was less than twenty years old. After this young man saw Sun Anhu, his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "I want to protest, why are you arresting me, I am the canonized Mongolian prince, and no one can be rude to me." ”

"His Royal Highness King De, please calm your anger, it is Xu Shuzheng who arrested you, he has been removed from the post of border superintendent, and strictly speaking he is a bandit. Our Lan Shuai has just been promoted to the patrol envoy of Mongolia, managing Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan and other places, and we will have to deal with each other often in the future, so King De doesn't have to mind. ”

"I don't care who Xu Shuzheng is, I know that you are all Han people, Han people have no good things, the grassland is our Mongolian prince, it has nothing to do with you, no one wants to control my head!"

Sun Anhu originally wanted to appease the German king, but as soon as he heard his words, Sun Anhu immediately frowned, this guy was so resistant to the Han people, and he was not subject to restraint in and out of his words, which immediately made Sun Anhu angry in his chest.

"His Royal Highness, there are some things that you can't say casually at a young age, this is indeed a grassland, but this is also the Chahar Special Region, which is the land of China, and it must obey the management of the government. No one is an exception! ”

"Hmph, wishful thinking, the Mongolian steppe, you don't need to point fingers." King De was imprisoned for a while, his stomach was full of anger, and he was also a little dizzy, he sneered and said: "Outer Mongolia has become independent, and Inner Mongolia is the same, you must all get out, the Mongols will use sabers." Chop you all to death and restore the glory of Genghis Khan. ”

King De wanted to continue, but he found that Sun Anhu had suddenly stood up, his tall body was in front of him in a few steps, and the rifle in his hand was already aimed at his temple. Saw this scene. King De was completely frightened, he shouted so loudly. In fact, it was accurate that the Beiyang government did not dare to embarrass him. This time, he was arrested by Xu Shuzheng, he was wronged, and he wanted to get more compensation from Feng Jun.

However, he miscalculated, Fengjun is completely different from Beiyang, and he will not accommodate him at all, and this guy has a cheap mouth. said something that shouldn't be said, and Sun Anhu was already angry.

"King De, let me tell you, there was also a group of Manchu nobles in the three eastern provinces who established the Zongshe Party. Want to restore the Qing Dynasty. These guys have all been cleaned up, and there is no land left behind by the people involved, do you want to follow in their footsteps? ”

King De looked at Sun Anhu's menacing appearance, he suddenly felt weak, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "General, don't misunderstand, this king is angry for a while, unintentional words, unintentional words, you must not mind." ”

"Not necessarily, right?" Sun Anhu glanced at him coldly, and his sharp gaze was like a knife, piercing King De's heart.

"Come on, lock up King De for me, and when the commander-in-chief arrives, I will deal with it!"

Sun Anhu is not a reckless person, the matter involves King De, and it is likely that it also represents a trend of Inner Mongolian independence, the stakes are too important, and it must be handled by Zhang Tinglan himself.

Zhang Tinglan was moving quickly with a large army in the rear, and suddenly received a telegram from Sun Anhu, and his brows immediately furrowed, Xu Shuzheng was finished, and now the main task was how to pacify and pacify the entire Mongolia.

As for King De, Zhang Tinglan also knows very well that this guy colluded with the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War to establish a puppet government, which is definitely a potential disaster. Not only him, but the entire Mongolian princes need to deal with it, these magnates have potential independent ideas, and they have a monopoly on the pastures, and they have a lot of weapons in their hands, which is definitely an obstacle for the government to control the place, and the garbage that must be cleared.

"Second brother, you and Wu Kaijie continue to march with the brigade, I will rush to Duolun first, there is a bit of a hurry to deal with!"

After Zhang Tinglan confessed, he took a company of cavalry to ride his horse and whip, galloped all the way, and rushed to Duolun, when he arrived in Duolun, it was already afternoon, the battle had already ended, only some craters and gunpowder smoke could be seen on the battlefield, and the corpse had already been buried.

Sun Anhu came over with people from afar, and said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, I just asked people to check those Mongolian princes, and found that there are not a few people who have independent tendencies, even if they don't want to be independent, they are also separated from the central government, such people can't be unguarded!" ”

Zhang Tinglan nodded: "I have long expected that there will always be a group of people in this world who don't know whether they are dead or alive, and since they have fallen into our hands, we can't spare them." ”

Sun Anhu took Zhang Tinglan into Duolun, and then said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, this time not only King De was arrested, but that little Zhuge Xu Shuzheng also fell into our hands, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Tinglan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he thought of an idea, he said with a smile: "Go and invite Xu Shuzheng over, I have something to talk to him." ”

Sun Anhu nodded in agreement, and soon a soldier pressed Xu Shuzheng and walked in, Xiao Xu's face was full of bitterness at this time, he and Qu Tongfeng originally wanted to break away from the army and escape. Who knew that after running for more than ten miles, he suddenly bumped into the cavalry troops of the Feng army, and these cavalry were originally ordered to go around Duolun in order to capture Xu Shuzheng and others.

There were only a few guards left around Xiao Xu, and where could he make the opponent of the heavily armed Feng army cavalry be captured before he had time to escape.

The soldiers pushed and hugged Xu Shuzheng in front of Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Tinglan looked at this little Zhuge , and then said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, we have also dealt with each other a few times, but I didn't expect to meet in this situation." ”

"Becoming a king and defeating a king, Xu only wants to die quickly, and will never be humiliated!"

"Mr. Xu's words are serious, Fengjun is the most disciplined, you are defeated, it is not a capital crime, I can only hand you over to the court, Feng Yuxiang has already sued you for the case of assassinating Lu Jianzhang, do everything according to the law."

"Zhang Shuyan, Xu Mou is a man who stands up to the sky and the earth in his life, and he will never be humiliated by that humiliation, and he wants me to stand in the courtroom, like a clown, let the rats point fingers, you might as well kill Xu Mou."

Zhang Tinglan looked at Xu Shuzheng, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, if you don't want to go to court, I can promise you, but you must answer a few questions honestly." I heard that after you took up the post of Northwest Frontier Governor, you also had a strategy of passing through Mongolia. Now that Zhang has become a patrol envoy to Mongolia, I would also like to ask Mr. Xu's opinion, how do you think Mongolia should be pacified? (To be continued......)
