The Japanese Type 41 mountain gun has no strong points. The biggest advantage is that it is light, weighing only more than 500 kilograms. When necessary, it can be divided into six modules and transported by six mules and horses. It is very suitable for the terrain of the Liaodong Peninsula. In addition, in China and North Korea
The Changbai Mountain area on the border can also produce very good results.
Before Fengjun could produce artillery on its own, using Japanese artillery was also a good choice. In addition to arms, more than 600 war horses and more than 1 million Japanese gold stamps were also seized. This money was paid by Kihachiro Okura.
A total of 2 million was sent, but only more than 500,000 were consumed, and the remaining nearly 150 fell into Zhang Tinglan's pocket.
Regardless of the amount, this kind of money can be spent comfortably. In addition, although Fang Wenhua was lucky enough to escape under the protection of his men, he still left behind all his years of looting, which amounted to more than 300,000 yuan.
During the inventory, Feng Jun also discovered a large amount of opium in a secret warehouse, totaling five to six thousand boxes. After investigation, it was discovered that the opium was grown in North Korea. The Japanese used Fang Wenhua's connections to
Smuggling large amounts of opium to the three northeastern provinces, amassing wealth and harming the bodies of the Chinese people.
After getting the news, Zhang Tinglan let go of his last concern. If the Japanese can sell opium, he can sell morphine. It depends on who is more ruthless.
While Fengjun was hurrying to clear up the enemy, staff officer Zhao Pei ran over in a panic, his face pale and his lips trembling.
"Captain Zhang, something bad has happened. Fang Wendong called and announced that he has joined the Fengtian Guards Corps!" Zhao Pei sent the call to Zhang Tinglan.
"Captain Zhang, please pay attention to the signatures. The first one on the list is Chief Ma Zhen."
It's not surprising that Fang Wendong rebelled. On the contrary, it was strange that he could hold back and not rebel. However, Zhang Tinglan was a little surprised that Ma Longtan also joined the rebels. In his impression, although Ma Longtan was a bit fatuous, he was still right and wrong.
You know, you won't make this mistake.
But now the situation is complicated. Zhang Tinglan hurriedly asked his men to take He Tianjiong over to see how much information he knew. At this time, Yang Yuting also rushed over. Although Fengjun quickly broke through Donggang and took the lead, the real trouble had just begun.
, how much power does Fang Wendong have in his hands? How will the Japanese respond? These are the most important questions at the moment.
The burdens on his and Zhang Tinglan's shoulders were very heavy. If they made one wrong move, the situation in Liaonan would be difficult to deal with. There was a sound of handcuffs, and several guards escorted He Tianjiong over. But at this time, his image was a bit embarrassing, and one of his eyes was blue.
The bridge of the nose was also collapsed. Blood was constantly pouring out.
The clothes were also torn and covered with blood foam, and they were no longer as elegant as they used to be.
"Mr. He, it seems that you and I are indeed on good terms with each other. The way you deal with each other is so special. It's really admirable."
He Tianjiong's face turned red. He wanted to retort a few words, but didn't know what to say. They and Benzhuang Fanzhao were together, and both sides complained to each other. Then they started fighting, and He Tianjiong received several solid punches and was beaten.
The beating was very miserable.
"He Tianjiong, tell me everything you know. Don't hide a word. You should also know the virtues of the Japanese. Is it worth sacrificing your life for them?"
He Tianjiong also lowered his head: "Captain Zhang, I have confessed everything, can you give me a way to survive? From now on, I will remain anonymous, always accompany Qingdeng, and will never care about worldly affairs."
Zhang Tinglan nodded and said: "Everything depends on your performance. I am not the one who kills everyone."
After He Tianjiong heard this, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said hurriedly: "Captain Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely say something and I will never hide it."
"Very well, just tell me about the Japanese's plan. What are their plans?"
He Tianjiong thought for a while and then said: "Captain Zhang, when you attacked Donggang, Honjo Shigeru told us that if we persist for three days, the Japanese Kwantung Army will mobilize and deliver supplies to us, but we didn't expect it.
You acted so fast and broke Donggang in less than a day, making all your calculations come to nothing."
"What's going on with the Fang brothers? How much do you know?" Zhang Tinglan stared at He Tianjiong and said with a smile: "He Tianjiong, the Japanese are capricious, don't let yourself get involved."
He Tianjiong suddenly had a sudden alert. Even though Zhang Tinglan was smiling and talking, there was a bone-chilling chill in him, and he was about to pull out his gun at any moment, and it seemed as if Zhang Tinglan would collapse.
"Captain Zhang, I don't know the specific situation. It was originally agreed that we would first raise the flag of rebellion, then occupy Donggang, and open up the communication line between Luda and Fengcheng. Then Fang Wendong persuaded the officers of Dongbian Road to join the escort.
!”
Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting glanced at each other. Based on He Tianjiong's information, they basically had a grasp of the overall situation. After someone took He Tianjiong down, they all walked to the front of the map.
Yang Yuting frowned and said worriedly: "I have to say that the situation is very bad. If we follow what He Tianjiong said, the Japanese will send troops next, and their direction must be Zhuanghe and Donggang, and then directly contact Fang Wendong in Fengcheng.
Contact. Although we have captured Donggang and cut off this line, the Japanese have invested so much this time and they will never stop easily."
The Japanese have the smallest minds and are most willing to hold grudges. They have spent so much artillery and military supplies to arm the Revolutionary Party and the Socialist Party, and now they have fallen into Zhang Tinglan’s hands. Can they be willing to do so? Maybe they know that after the fall of Donggang, they
They will become angry and send troops faster.
"In addition, I estimate that Fengcheng has completely fallen into the hands of Fang Wendong. He still has thousands of troops in his hands. These troops suppress bandits all year round and their combat effectiveness is not weak. Fang Wendong is not comparable to his brother Fang Wenhua. Moreover, he has been operating in Dongbian Road for many years.
The claws are sharp and difficult to deal with."
Zhang Tinglan also nodded, basically agreeing with Yang Yuting's judgment: "Lin Ge, what do you think we should do?"
"Our small number of troops is not enough to split into two groups, so I suggest that we immediately withdraw to Zhuanghe and completely cut off the Japanese's way north. As long as there are no Japanese to join in, Fang Wendong will be isolated and helpless, and then let everyone
Commander, mobilize your troops and capture Fang Wendong!"
Yang Yuting's suggestion was very sound at first glance. Zhang Tinglan thought about it again and again and found that this was the best choice. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to finish handling the battlefield quickly, take a short rest, and rush to Zhuanghe's aid!
While Zhang Tinglan was making intense preparations, Zhang Zuolin from Fengtian had also received the report. When he heard that Ma Longtan's men had colluded with the Japanese, he immediately became furious and summoned all his civil and military officials.
"I just sent a telegram. Fang Wendong, this beast, is planning to rebel. Can you guys tell me what to do?"
"What else can you say? Just fight!" Zhang Jinghui said loudly from the side: "We have strong soldiers and horses, how can we be afraid of Fang Wendong? Besides, if our elder brother is in trouble, we should take action. We can't just watch Brother Ma get into danger."
Zhang Jinghui's words sounded nice. In fact, he just wanted to use this opportunity to drive Malongtan away completely. Although everyone was sworn brothers, if they blocked the road, they would not end well.
This played into Zhang Zuolin's plan, and he firmly advocated fighting, but he was conflicted about who should be sent there. Logically speaking, the most suitable candidate was Zhang Zuoxiang. He and Zhang Tinglan cooperated closely, and they just happened to take down the East Road in one fell swoop.
, but Lao Zhang also had a little worry in his heart.
As a superior, it is most important for his subordinates to maintain balance. Now that the power in the hands of the Zhang family and his son is very great, if they are allowed to extend their power to southern Liaoning, Lao Zhang will inevitably feel a little grudge.
Zhang Zuoxiang had already noticed this, so he said with a smile: "Commander, I think we should let Brother Six lead the 27th Division there. He has the best relationship with Brother Ma. It just so happens that Brother Ma is in danger, so he should go there."
Zhang Zuoxiang took the initiative to take a step back. Lao Zhang was very happy and wanted to let Sun Liechen lead the troops to put down the rebellion. But at this moment, Yu Chonghan hurried over with a telegram.
"Commander, something bad has happened. Yuan Shikai suddenly appointed Feng Delin as Assistant Military Affairs Officer of Fengtian. Commander Feng has issued a message requesting that the assistant's salary be improved to be on an equal footing with the Commander!"
This news came out of the blue, frightening everyone present. There must be something wrong with Lao Yuan's mind. Fengtian was already in chaos, but he still promoted Feng Delin to a title at this juncture. This clearly meant that Lao Feng was holding Zhang Zuolin back.
Well, does he want to watch the Fengtian soldiers suffer a series of disasters?
Zhang Zuolin snatched the telegram and looked at it carefully. During the telegram, Lao Feng not only asked for an increase in the salary of the assistant yamen, but also requested that the arrears of military pay should be settled at once, and that money should be allocated to the 28th Division to expand armaments.
Faced with such an unreasonable request, Lao Zhang was so angry that he flew into a rage, and everyone present was thinking over and over again.
"Brother Feng is so capable. He jumped out at this time and clearly wants to hinder us. Doesn't he know that there are rebels in southern Liaoning?" Sun Liechen's face was gloomy. Behind the events in southern Liaoning was Japan.
At this time, Feng Delin jumped out again. Does it mean that Old Feng has also colluded with the Japanese? If so, the situation will be difficult to deal with!
"Commander, Commander Feng has mobilized his elite troops and is preparing to come to Fengtian. Please make up your mind." After Yu Chonghan said this, he wisely closed his mouth. Now the choice fell to Zhang Zuolin.
On hand.
To cope with Feng Delin's provocation, a large number of troops must be stationed in Fengtian. The 27th Division cannot be transferred. However, if the 27th Division is not transferred, another problem will arise in Fengcheng. Lao Zhang cannot just watch the rebels grow bigger.
Otherwise, the entire southern Liaoning will be in danger.
Lao Zhang was suddenly forced into a corner. He couldn't give up on either end, but he had limited power. Zhang Zuolin had no idea how to make a decision.
"Commander, Fengtian is the fundamental place and there is no room for error. Liaonan is also related to the country's territory and national justice. It is equally important. How to allocate troops is really difficult!" Wang Yongjiang did not expect that things would reach this point.
, these things happened one after another, obviously not in isolation, but with careful planning and preparation, and they were linked together, making Zhang Zuolin lose sight of one thing.
Lao Zhang was also very aware of this, so he was particularly embarrassed and paced back and forth on the ground. At this time, two more telegrams came, one was that Fang Wendong was the rebel, and the other was a distress telegram from Zhang Tinglan.
Lao Zhang sent troops to destroy Fang Wendong.
The atmosphere in the Tiger Hall became more and more solemn, so heavy that everyone seemed breathless. Everyone was constantly asking themselves what to do and whether there was a way to get the best of both worlds.
Just when everyone was worried, Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly spoke: "Commander, you should stay in Fengtian and leave the affairs of Liaonan to me."
Zhang Zuoxiang took the initiative to ask for help. Lao Zhang suddenly stopped and asked hesitantly: "Fu Chen, how many troops are you planning to bring?"
"It turns out that the second regiment of the Independent Brigade was taken away by Huo Yan, so I will just take the first regiment. Although Fang Wendong is aggressive, the morale of the military and the people are not on his side. It is not difficult to eliminate him."
Lao Zhang originally didn't want to send Zhang Zuoxiang to Liaonan, but now the situation has changed suddenly. It is the best choice to let Zhang Zuoxiang go there. They cooperate with their father and son. He takes the 27th Division to guard Fengtian and guard against Feng Delin.
Zhang Zuolin walked around on the ground a few more times, and then said: "Fuchen, you are now the acting garrison of Dongbian Road, and you will send troops to put down the rebellion immediately." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
