Chapter 232: The Real Enemy

Ji Jinchun was suddenly defeated, his reputation for many years was ruined, and the whole person was also very decadent, he had no face to command on the front line, so he could only return to Fengtian and wait for Lao Zhang's fate, but before leaving, Ji Jinchun still told Zhang Tinglan about his doubts.

"To put it mildly, you also know the situation of the 28th Division, although the combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, but it is not so much that it can't even deal with a group of rabble, but it has suffered a crushing defeat, do you know the reason?"

His words immediately attracted Zhang Tinglan's attention, in fact, before the war, Zhang Tinglan thought about it repeatedly, how could he not have thought that Ji Jinchun would fail, and now when he heard his words, he immediately wondered, is there a hidden secret?

"Uncle Ji, have you encountered a special situation?"

Ji Jinchun sighed, and then said: "Humble words, it is true, it stands to reason that the old department of Gao Shifu has been scattered, and they are all a gang of rabble, but their weapons and equipment are very sophisticated, a water of Japanese weapons, and when our two sides hit a critical moment, suddenly a force of two or three hundred people came out from the flank, and the attack was extremely sharp, and our battle line was broken through at once, and the follow-up Ji army was killed, and we collapsed on the whole line." ”

Ji Jinchun said this, his face also showed frustration, he was very unwilling to this defeat, from the beginning there was a black hand, manipulating behind his back, Ji Jinchun didn't understand what was going on, he was defeated in a daze.

Zhang Tinglan's brows also furrowed, he turned around the ground a few times, and then said, "Uncle Ji, do you think this small force will be sent by the Japanese?" ”

"To be honest, I think the possibility of being Japanese is very high. This group of people is well-trained, and the shooting is extremely accurate, at a distance of 200 meters, our brothers were killed in pieces, except for the Japanese, I really can't think of any other possibility, but I also can't figure it out, what kind of weishenme did the Japanese do this, do they want to go to war directly with China? ”

Zhang Tinglan's mind turned much faster than Ji Jinchun's, and he also knew the Japanese plans better. He already knew very well that most of the Japanese saw that Zhang Zuolin was about to unify the three eastern provinces, so they couldn't wait to do it, and even directly sent the fighters, and they almost went into battle shirtless.

"Uncle Ji. Hurry back to Fengtian and tell the marshal as it is. Let him be vigilant. Be prepared, things are a bit of a hassle this time! ”

can make Zhang Tinglan say the word trouble, which proves that this matter is definitely not small, Ji Jinchun hurriedly agreed, and then set off to return to Fengtian, but Zhang Tinglan fell into thought.

Judging by past experience. The Japanese have not yet decided what strategy should be adopted against Zhang Zuolin, whether to win over or suppress, and Japan is also vacillating, but one thing is undeniable. As the Feng army developed more and more rapidly, there were more and more conflicts with the Japanese.

Especially after the assassination was over, the Japanese were forced to give up the controlling power of the Benxihu Coal and Iron Company, which was like picking the hearts and minds of the Japanese military, and they also became more and more jealous of Zhang Zuolin, especially after Lao Zhang took Jilin, the situation of unifying the three eastern provinces was inevitable, and Heilongjiang would definitely not be able to stop the Feng army.

In this situation, the Japanese will never want to see Zhang Zuolin completely sit on the three eastern provinces, once that time, whether it is to buy or restrict, the cost of spending is far more than now, the Japanese are very clear about these things, so they stepped up their assistance to Xu Lanzhou, and at the same time helped Gao Shiwei pull up the old department, wanting to use their hands to restrict the development of the Feng army.

Zhang Tinglan thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a little remorseful in his heart, he still underestimated the influence of the Japanese, they have been operating in the three eastern provinces for more than ten years, and the shili in their hands is too strong, as long as they make a casual move, they can change the contrast of strength in the three eastern provinces.

In fact, it was a mistake to let Bao Guiqing be the overseer of Jilin, Lao Zhang also knew that he was not completely reliable, but he also sent him to Jilin, but in the past two months, Bao Guiqing did not take strong measures at all to disband the old department of the Jilin army, nor did he truthfully report the situation in Jilin to Zhang Zuolin, and the Feng army did not have time to transfer, so it gave Gao Shiwei a chance to breathe, and finally raised the tiger for trouble.

In addition, there is a big mistake that there is a problem in Heilongjiang this time, according to common sense, the Feng army should send the most powerful combat power, and take Xu Lanzhou directly in one go, and as a result, in order to balance the interests of all departments of the Feng army, the attack task was handed over to Ji Jinchun's 28th Division.

This is to underestimate the enemy, or even not know the enemy, without knowing the details of the opponent, thinking that the victory is in hand, rashly sending troops, since ancient times, arrogant troops will be defeated, this time the Feng army made this mistake.

After thinking about it, Zhang Tinglan found that the situation in front of him was very unfavorable to the Feng army, and the ultimate opponent he faced was no longer Gao Shiwei and Xu Lanzhou, but the powerful Japanese Empire.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly sent a secret telegram to his father Zhang Zuoxiang, asking him to lead his troops to speed up and hurry north, and at the same time sent his speculation to Zhang Zuolin, so that Lao Zhang must be cautious.

Just when Zhang Tinglan was actively preparing, Zhang Tinglan ushered in two groups of fleeing guests, the first group was Zhu Qinglan, the overseer of Heilongjiang, accompanied by Zhu Qinglan, and his confidant Jiang Dengxuan, who had no impression of Zhu Qinglan Zhang Tinglan, but he was still very clear about Jiang Dengxuan, who was also a general of the Fengjun army in the future, and when Guo Songling rebelled, he scolded Guo Songling for betraying the master and was killed, and he was also a rare loyal person.

These two were very embarrassed at this time, each of them had a thick layer of soot on their faces, just like the king of the stove, as soon as he saw Zhang Tinglan, Zhu Qinglan almost cried bitterly.

"Xu Lanzhou, this bastard, directly let his artillery bombard the Shuaifu, and almost lost our lives, if it weren't for the cleverness of Staff Officer Jiang, we put on makeup as stokers, got on the train, and escaped from Qiqihar, I'm afraid that we would already be in a different place."

Jiang Dengxuan on the side also said: "Xu Lanzhou is indeed too rampant, we have to meet Yu Shuai and let him come forward to uphold justice and completely exterminate Xu Lanzhou." If Yu Shuai can't call the shots, let's go to Beijing and find Premier Duan, I don't believe that no one can cure Xu Lanzhou, this bastard! ”

"Don't worry, you two, I can tell you on behalf of Yu Shuai that Feng Jun will never let Xu Lanzhou go, and Feng Jun also has enough strength to take him down, you can rest assured."

"Brigade Commander Zhang, I have also heard in Heilongjiang, you are a young hero, you used your soldiers like a god, and you quelled the rebellion in southern Liaoning like lightning, which is a good story, and now it is all up to you to deal with Xu Lanzhou!"

Zhang Tinglan comforted Zhu Qinglan and Jiang Dengxuan again, and asked them to take a shower and rest first.

This group of people are some officials in Jilin, including Bao Guiqing and Guo Zongxi, Bao Guiqing is now also ashamed and indignant, and he doesn't even have the courage to see people.

It can even be said that there will be no such opportunity in the future, how can Bao Guiqing not regret it, in fact, Zhang Tinglan really has the heart to give Bao Guiqing a few mouths in the past, but think about whether he is Zhang Zuolin's in-laws, his own junior, he does not have that qualification, so he can only hold back his anger and let people send Bao Guiqing back to Fengtian, what to do, or listen to Zhang Zuolin.

However, Zhang Tinglan left Guo Zongxi behind, he is familiar with the civil affairs of Jilin, and he also knows the situation in various places, the Guo family is still a big family in Jilin, and if you want to kill Gao Shifu, you can't do without his help.

"Governor Guo, I'm going to bother you to help me with more ideas."

"Brigade Commander Zhang, there is nothing else to say, we are all a family, I also heard that Yu Shuai has put the auxiliary commander in charge of Jilin military affairs, and I will ask Brigade Commander Zhang to take care of it in the future."

Zhang Zuo is quite the acting overseer of Jilin, and he is naturally respected as an auxiliary commander, Guo Zongxi is quite excited after knowing it, if Zhang Zuoxiang can come to Jilin, Zhang Tinglan will definitely come to assist his father, the Guo family has cooperated with Zhang Zuoxiang some time ago, but I didn't expect Zhang Zuoxiang to become their top boss so soon.

"Governor Guo, I have just contacted Horvat, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Middle East Road Guard, and asked him to provide asylum to the business people in Jilin."

Gao Shifu is in power, and with his style, he will definitely liquidate the Jilin merchants who abandoned him and Meng Enyuan some time ago, so in the purpose of protecting the Jilin merchants, Zhang Tinglan can only use the Russian liliang and let the Russians provide asylum.

Zhang Tinglan has been engaged in smuggling activities for a year, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more Russian officials under his control.

"Brigade Commander Zhang, you are really thoughtful, I thank you for the merchants of Jilin!"

When Zhang Tinglan was planning, Gao Shifu led his subordinates to kill Ji Feng at the border, and there was a very short and frustrated guy accompanying Gao Shifu, almost a head shorter than Gao Shifu, but Gao Shifu bowed his head in the face of him, and was half a cut shorter out of thin air.

"Gao Sang, the physical condition of your people is too poor, and the willpower is almost not worth mentioning, when the imperial warriors fought against the Russians, they often fought for more than ten days in a row, and they never complained of being tired, your soldiers are simply pigs!"

"Yes, Mr. Yuzhi, we naturally can't compare with the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, if we want to defeat the Feng army and regain Mukden, we all rely on the help of Japan."

"Well, you asked your subordinates to speed up the march, the Feng army Zhang Zuoxiang's department has begun to move north, we must seize ahead of them, defeat the vanguard of the Feng army, and enter Fengtian!"

After Yu Zhixiong finished speaking, a smug smile appeared on his face: "In front of the warriors of the empire, Fengjun is a local chicken and a dog, Gao Sang, the empire has enough strength to let you replace Zhang Zuolin, and even become the king of the Northeast, as long as you are obedient and obedient."
