Wang Yongjiang was just a civil servant and was not yet capable of commanding a battle. Ever since Guo Songling started his attack, he had been in the basement, anxiously waiting for news from all parties.
"Guo Songling is also a strong soldier, and his troops are attacking very fiercely. Except for a few veterans, we are all a bunch of rookies. We could maintain a little fighting spirit at the beginning, but now after a day or two, the combat effectiveness has been seriously weakened.
, the number of wounded continues to increase, it’s a lot of pressure!”
"We must hold on no matter how big the situation is. We must wait until Zhuoyan leads his troops to come back for reinforcements, otherwise Fengtian will be completely destroyed."
"Governor Wang, don't worry. I have sent the special forces to sneak into the rear of the Guo Department and launch a propaganda offensive, calling on the soldiers to serve the army and not fight the army. The guns are pointed at the outside world. This kind of propaganda has already had an effect. The offensive looks like
It is still very violent, but many officers and soldiers on the front line have already given up. Many of Guo Songling's officers came from the martial arts hall. Guo Songling was their teacher, as was I, Yang Yuting, and I am also their college president. These young people are also relatively
Difficult."
Wang Yongjiang sighed: "We are born from the same roots, so why rush to fight each other! We are all brothers and sisters raised by the same soil and water, but now we are killing each other. It is really a pity!"
On the contrary, Yang Yuting looked a little relaxed and said with a smile: "Governor Wang, if there is no chaos, no cure. To be blunt, Marshal Xian can be called a hero, but if we want to count on him to lead us against the Japanese, he doesn't have that yet.
Ability and means. Now that Fengjun's family business has been established, his passing away will also give an opportunity to those who come after him. After this rebellion, the old-school forces in Fengjun completely collapsed. Guo Songling originally had the best relationship with the young marshal, and the old
When the commander promoted him, he did not want to restrict Zhu Yan. But after this experience, all these obstacles have disappeared. I am full of confidence in the future prospects of Fengjun!"
How could Wang Yongjiang not know that this turmoil was actually a Phoenix Nirvana, a good opportunity for Fengjun to completely reborn? But he also knew that the Phoenix Nirvana was not a simple matter, but a matter of life and death again.
"Linge, Mr. Minyuan, I have two pieces of news to tell you." Chang Yinhuai, who was in charge of intelligence, ran in, his body still covered with dust and gunpowder smoke.
"There is good news and there is bad news. Which one are you going to hear?"
"When have you ever wanted to tease a bored person?" Yang Yuting scolded with a smile: "Let's talk about it first. We have been suppressing it for so long, and it's time for something happy to happen!"
"Kan Chaoxi's rebels are doomed." Chang Yinhuai said with a smile: "I threw out a large number of leaflets. As a result, Kan Chaoxi's military morale collapsed and they rebelled without a fight. Kan Chaoxi was shot to death by his subordinates. Feng Feng, who was originally gathered by Beiyang,
Most of the soldiers came back and became our soldiers again."
"Okay! Great!" Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "The three eastern provinces are empty. It is a great thing to be able to gather these soldiers back. I am gratified."
Yang Yuting also nodded: "Without the threat of Kan Chaoxi, Zhu Yan can lead his troops to come back for reinforcements, and the clouds of the day will disperse."
"Chief of Staff, don't be happy now, trouble is coming. The Japanese Kwantung Army has been dispatched."
Upon hearing this, both Yang Yuting and Wang Yongjiang showed a look of horror on their faces. As a great power, the threat from the Japanese was still too great. Especially when Fengjun was at his weakest, once the two sides clashed directly, the battle situation would be dire.
A reversal may occur, and they cannot help but worry.
"How many troops did the Japanese send and where were they?"
"The Japanese sent a total of one brigade, which is currently in Liaoyang."
"What?" When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he stood up immediately: "Liaoyang is only 60 kilometers away from us. If we take a train, we can reach it in two hours. Isn't Fengtian dangerous?"
"Mr. Minyuan, please be patient. The Japanese cannot enter Fengtian. We already have troops to block the Japanese in Liaoyang." Chang Yinhuai said with a smile: "Jiang Dengxuan led two brigades and an artillery regiment in
Liaoyang was well prepared and cut off the railway, so the Japanese could not even think of rushing over."
When Yang Yuting heard this, he finally realized and said with a smile: "The truth is really hidden deep enough. When he originally sent troops, he also said that he wanted Jiang Deng to go north and accompany the auxiliary commander to put down the rebellion. It turned out to be a false shot and was placed in Liaoyang.
To block the Japanese, I must say this is a clever move!"
Wang Yongjiang also sat on the chair at this time, with a look of emotion on his face, and said with a smile on his face: "We have tried our best here, recruiting people and horses from all over, arming students and workers, and fighting to the death. In the end, we are sixty kilometers away.
, there is a force of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, standing still and watching us fight desperately, I can't believe it."
"It is indeed unexpected." Yang Yuting said with a smile: "But I made the right bet again this time. If it were not for this team, the Japanese would march straight into Fengtian, and things would be out of control. Maybe we would go to war directly."
"Director Chang, isn't it a good thing to have blocked the Japanese? Why do you say it's bad news?"
"Mr. Minyuan, the Japanese are not people willing to suffer losses. They have stepped up their mobilization, and the follow-up troops of the Kwantung Army are also rushing towards Liaoyang. It seems that they are really preparing to use force."
As soon as he heard that the Japanese were still preparing to use force, Wang Yongjiang's brows knitted into knots. The rebellion in front of him was not a trivial matter. For Feng Jun, it even reached the point of breaking his muscles and bones. Even if Zhang Tinglan gathered the troops in the pass again.
came back, but the current loss of men and horses also exceeded 50,000.
Of course, not all of these 50,000 people died, but the organization was broken up. Some of them followed the rebels and were no longer reliable. They had to be eliminated. The total strength of the Fengjun army suddenly fell below 100,000. Zhang Zuolin came out of seclusion.
In addition, the military expenditures consumed before and after the counter-insurgency exceeded 150 million oceans; the war has also spread to Fengtian, the center of the three eastern provinces, and the potential impact on the economy is even greater.
To put it bluntly, Fengjun has reached a very weak stage. If the Japanese attack again, it is really hard to say whether they can withstand it!
Just when Wang Yongjiang and Yang Yuting were worried, the Japanese action had already begun. Fengtian Consul General Akajiri Masasuke summoned reporters from all parties to the Japanese Consulate General and held a press conference of unprecedented scale.
Facing all the reporters, Akajiri Masasuke first said: "Hello, fellow reporters, I am here to announce something important to you. As we all know, after the assassination of Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy to Fengtian, the three northeastern provinces fell into
Amidst the unprecedented rebellion, wars are everywhere, and the social situation has collapsed. The Japanese Empire has a large number of interests in the three eastern provinces, and there are also many expatriates. Their personal safety is threatened, and the imperial government has the obligation to protect them.
Safety."
The reporters in the audience were all busy writing. They knew very well that Akajiri Shosuke's words were tantamount to announcing military intervention in Fengjun's civil war, which would have a huge impact on the situation in the Far East.
"Just one day ago, the Imperial Japanese Army rushed from Luda to Fengtian. However, when passing through Liaoyang, they were rudely blocked by Feng Jun. Feng Jun violated the treaty with the Empire and cut off Southern Manchuria.
The railway has affected normal traffic. This kind of behavior is a provocation to the empire and a declaration of war to the empire. The imperial government will never let Feng Jun go, and they must bear all the consequences!"
After Akajiri Masasuke finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were all excited. This was clearly a letter of challenge. It seemed that the battle between Fengjun and the Japanese was inevitable. Many Western reporters were whispering,
They were also surprised when Feng Jun cut off the South Manchuria Railway. The railway has always been the most important means for the great powers to control China. Now that Feng Jun has violated this interest, they can't bear it.
At this time, a young female reporter in the audience stood up and asked Masasuke Akajiri: "Mr. Consul General, you keep saying that Japanese expatriates are under threat, but as far as I know, the fighting took place in the southeast of Fengtian, and the Japanese expatriates are
The inhabited area is in the west, so it has no impact at all. In addition, Japan mobilized its troops and took the initiative to go to Fengtian. It was obviously an act of war. Fengjun's cutting off the railway was also a legitimate defensive method. Are you not allowed to point the knife at others?
Does the opponent use a shield to block?"
The female reporter who asked the question was less than 20 years old, but her words were very sharp, pointing directly at Akajiri Masasuke's weakness. This guy was beaming just now, but when faced with these two questions, he didn't know how to answer, and he had no way to argue.
His face was ashen and he could only say loudly: "Madam reporter, you are not welcome here, please leave immediately!"
"Are you Japanese so hypocritical? You want to invade other people's countries and occupy other people's territories. You are rampaging on China's territory and do not allow the squadron to resist. You are just a group of bandits and beasts in human skins.
!”
Everyone at the scene was a little surprised. They had never seen a white reporter speak for the Chinese people like this. Several male reporters actually clapped and applauded this girl for her bravery and integrity.
External embarrassment.
This female reporter is Irina. Feng Jun rescued her from Russia more than a year ago. From then on, she fell in love with China and the black soil like a devil, and even did not hesitate to expose her nakedness in public.
Masasuke Shiri's lies.
However, her words could not change the will of the Japanese. They were already ready to use force. At this time, Zhang Tinglan also arrived in Fengtian. His first thing was to hold a press conference. The war was right in front of him.
Instead of dispatching troops and generals, we started a public opinion war. This is really interesting.
Many reporters also flocked to Fengjun's camp, wanting to see what shocking news Zhang Tinglan could announce.
"Journalist friends, not long ago, Zhang Zuolin, a patrol envoy from the three eastern provinces, was assassinated. Who killed Marshal Zhang? I think this is a question that everyone is concerned about. Here, I want to reveal the mystery to everyone!" (
