Fengjun dispatched two divisions of troops. No matter who looked at it, they were sure of victory. Heilongjiang Governor Zhu Qinglan was also very excited. He discussed repeatedly with his confidant Jiang Dengxuan. Both of them believed that when Fengjun's troops arrived, Xu Lanzhou would
As long as they surrender, they will be able to escape the danger.
However, the reality is often unexpected. Ji Jinchun led the army north along the Middle East Road until Changchun. He originally wanted to rest here briefly, wait for the supplies in the rear to be in place, and then directly enter Heilongjiang.
Everything was arranged perfectly, but something went wrong at this juncture. On the night of the camp, Heilongjiang took the initiative to send troops to launch an attack. Ji Jinchun was also a veteran enemy. After a brief panic, he commanded his men to calm down.
Responding to the challenge, he gradually stabilized his position.
But then something happened that Ji Jinchun could not have imagined. A force suddenly came out from Jilin, attacked the rear of the 28th Division, and formed a pincer attack with the Heilongjiang army. Moreover, the equipment of this force was not weak.
, morale is high.
The 28th Division immediately fell into a bitter battle. As the saying goes, good things never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone. Ji Jinchun's misfortune was not over yet. The Japanese also got involved at this time, saying that artillery shells fell during the battle between the two armies.
Within the Manchurian Railway Annex, they issued a warning to Ji Jinchun that the Japanese artillery was ready, and if this situation happened again, they would take action.
Ji Jinchun could not withstand the pressure of the Japanese and could only adjust the artillery position. As a result, the firepower of the 28th Division was reduced sharply. The position was broken by the two armies at the front and rear. The entire army was defeated, and the defeat was overwhelming.
Tens of thousands of people from the 28th Division ran wildly all the way back to Fengtian. They couldn't hold them back at all.
Originally, the armies of Ji Jinchun and Wu Junsheng were attacking Heilongjiang like scissors, but now half of them were defeated. Wu Junsheng was left alone and unable to advance or retreat. He had to ask for instructions from Lao Zhang.
After Zhang Zuolin received the report, he immediately became furious. The action he had taken with full confidence ended up being a huge defeat. This made Zhang Zuolin, who had been going smoothly during this period, feel extremely humiliated. He summoned all his subordinates and confidants to let everyone work together.
Discuss this matter.
"Commander, I think there are two main reasons for this unfavorable launch. The first is that Jilin suddenly sent out an army, disrupting the deployment of the 28th Division. Who does this army belong to? Why didn't it happen before?
Any discovery, I think this is a serious dereliction of duty and must be held accountable."
Zhang Zuoxiang was not in Fengtian, and Sun Liechen was the most senior among them all and the one who received the most attention from Zhang Zuolin. He came out to summarize the reasons for the failure. It was reasonable and reasonable.
"The second biggest reason lies in Ji Jinchun. The 28th Division was originally the ace force in Fengjun, but it couldn't defeat the Heilongjiang army. This is simply a shame for Fengjun. And all this time, we have faced Fengjun.
We have never backed down from the pressure on the Japanese. Now, as soon as the Japanese threaten, Ji Jinchun will abandon his martial arts. This is not seeking death!"
Sun Liechen's words made everyone present nod frequently, and so did Zhang Tinglan. In fact, the 28th Division's combat effectiveness was understandable. After all, the battle between Zhang Zuolin and Lao Feng had just ended, and the 28th Division was still in the process of reorganizing, and many officers had been transferred.
, faced with attacks from two sides, it is inevitable to be a little flustered.
But being intimidated by the Japanese and not daring to use artillery was a big mistake, even unforgivable. In fact, this was also because Jincheng was from the 28th Division and his fear of the Japanese was deep-rooted.
Lao Zhang said with a gloomy face: "Ji Jinchun's position as acting division commander has been revoked, and Zhang Haipeng will be his temporary replacement. Your mission is to gather the defeated army as soon as possible and stabilize the morale of the army!"
Ji Jinchun was taken down, and those present did not have any objections. After all, such a big mistake had been made, and removal from office was considered a minor matter.
Lao Zhang paused for a moment and then continued: "Now who can figure out who is the army that suddenly came out from Jilin? Did these thousands of troops fall from the sky?"
"Commander, Commander Zhang sent a piece of information saying that this troop belongs to Gao Shibi!" Yang Yuting whispered from the side: "It was Gao Shibi who organized his old troops and launched a sneak attack on the 28th Division.
That’s why Ji Jinchun was defeated across the board.”
After hearing the words "Gao Shibi", Lao Zhang's eyes immediately turned red, with an expression of disbelief on his face. Isn't this a joke? Not long after Fengjun defeated Gao Shibi, he also sent Lao Zhang's in-law Bao Guiqing to Jilin.
, how can the high priest still make trouble?
Not to mention Zhang Zuolin, even everyone present was horrified. What on earth was going on! Zhang Tinglan's brain was also spinning rapidly. He had a vague guess that the problem must be Bao Guiqing.
Although this guy only became the governor of Jilin with the support of Lao Zhang, Bao Guiqing did not completely surrender to Lao Zhang, but still regarded himself as Beiyang. He wanted to act as a mediator between Fengjun and Beiyang. This was not welcomed at the beginning.
It was very obvious at the banquet.
Most likely, Bao Guiqing did not want to kill them all, but retained Gao Shibi's power. As a result, he shot himself in the foot, and Gao Shibi took a bite out of him. Zhang Tinglan felt a little angry when he thought of this, but then he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
, if my estimate is correct, Jilin and Heilongjiang are now in chaos. As the saying goes, there is no cure without chaos, and the opportunity I have been looking for has finally arrived.
Of course, the more critical the situation, the more necessary it is to remain calm enough. Zhang Tinglan did not say a word, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings. How to deal with it all depends on Zhang Zuolin's decision.
Lao Zhang sat blankly on the Taishi chair, his mind almost went blank. He was so sharp. Zhang Tinglan could think of it, and Lao Zhang could think of it. There must be something wrong with his old relative Bao Guiqing. In Zhang Zuolin's opinion, this is...
He was so filled with anger at the naked betrayal that he slammed his hand on the table, knocking down all the teapots and bowls.
It shattered all over the ground, and everyone present did not dare to say a word. At this time, someone sent another telegram. It turned out to be the governor of Jilin Province, Guo Zongxi, who reported the situation to Lao Zhang.
Zhang Zuolin originally promised to provide Bao Guiqing with a loan of two million to help Bao Guiqing disband the old army in Jilin. However, Bao Guiqing did not immediately disband the old army. On the contrary, he retained a lot. He used the money to recruit new troops, but the new army did not
After practicing, there happened to be a problem in Heilongjiang.
Gao Shibi and Xu Lanzhou colluded together. Gao Shibi summoned his old troops and attacked Ji Jinchun first, and then led a large army to attack Jilin, hoping to retake Jilin Province. Now Bao Guiqing was also frightened, and he could only run away.
He didn't dare to report the news to Zhang Zuolin, so the provincial governor Guo Zongxi, who ran away with him, reported the cause and effect to Lao Zhang.
After Lao Zhang saw this telegram, he was even more dizzy. Not only did his children and relatives not help him, they almost ruined his great cause. Now there are problems in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. If they are not settled quickly,
, Lao Zhang not only failed to win Heilongjiang, but also lost Jilin.
This made Zhang Zuolin, who once thought that the Northeast King was close at hand, experienced a change from heaven to hell, and his mind was almost confused.
After a long while, Zhang Zuolin calmed down his emotions, glanced at the whole place, and then smiled to himself: "I, old Zhang, don't know people well, and that's why we are in this situation. You guys can tell us what to do, how to save it."
situation."
"Commander, I think there is only one word: fight! Fight hard and wipe out Xu Lanzhou and Gao Shibi, especially Gao Shibi. We must take advantage of his unsteady footing to get Jilin back. We can't do it.
What a loss-making business!”
Sun Liechen said loudly, he was also impatient, seeing that Fengjun was about to unify the three eastern provinces, but no one could stand such a thing happening at such a critical moment.
Zhang Zuolin nodded heavily: "We must fight. I will never let them go, but we still need to discuss who to send to fight. In addition, Bao Guiqing is not suitable to manage Jilin. Let's see who can replace him."
"
"Commander, when it comes to pacifying Gao Shibi, only Fu Chen is the most suitable!" Zhang Jinghui said from the side: "It was Fu Chen who defeated Meng Enyuan last time. He is familiar with everything, and the garrison division has strong combat effectiveness. It will not be a problem to capture the Ji army.
.”
It turns out that apart from Zhang Zuoxiang, there is indeed no more suitable person! Lao Zhang even regrets a little. It might have been better if he had handed over Jilin to Zhang Zuoxiang directly without resorting to any tricks to lift Bao Guiqing out. Lao Zhang
I also feel a little regretful.
"Then let Fu Chen serve as the commander-in-chief of the counter-rebellion army, act as the governor of Jilin, and be fully responsible for the elimination of Gao Shibi." Lao Zhang turned his head again and said to Zhang Tinglan: "I'd like to say, don't be idle and kill the new army troops in Fengtian.
We will also bring them there, and the militiamen of the Reclamation Brigade will also be mobilized, and let them be responsible for the logistics work. We must eliminate Gao Shibi in the shortest possible time."
Zhang Tinglan nodded hastily, and Lao Zhang ordered Wu Junsheng to keep the pressure on Heilongjiang to prevent Xu Lanzhou from sending troops to support Gao Shibi, and also to find fighter opportunities to weaken Xu Lanzhou's strength. After the counter-insurgency in Jilin direction was completed,
Then two groups encircled and captured Xu Lanzhou.
Lao Zhang was already murderous and would never let Gao Shibi and Xu Lanzhou go. In addition, Lao Zhang also asked Zhang Jinghui to take over the post of guard envoy of Dongbian Road, while Sun Liechen and Lao Zhang were in Fengtian.
The main force of the Seventh Division also stayed in Fengtian. The reason is also very simple. The Japanese have intervened again. Fengtian must maintain a strong armed force to deter and contain the Japanese, otherwise the front line will not be able to successfully suppress the rebellion.
After General Lao Zhang issued all the transfer orders, the entire Feng army was mobilized. Zhang Tinglan could only hurriedly suspend his work as a teacher. He and Zhang Haipeng went north together, accompanied by a regiment of new troops.
They all knew that the matter was urgent, so they did not dare to delay at all. They hurried to the Jifeng border. As soon as they set up camp, they heard a burst of gunfire in front of them. Could it be that Gao Shibi came to kill him? It was too fast. He was thinking about it.
At that moment, his staff officer hurriedly ran in! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
