Duolun is an important transportation place on the grassland, with close business exchanges. At first, it mainly did business with Beijing and Tianjin. In the past two years, with the rapid development of the three northeastern provinces, a large amount of materials have been attracted to the northeast. Duolun is also an important place.
A large number of businessmen gathered in the transshipment base.
Xu Shuzheng gave an order and captured hundreds of people. Most of them were businessmen, and there were more than twenty Mongolian nobles and princes, standing in a dark crowd. Xiao Xu walked in front of these people, with a smile on his face.
Wearing a cold smile.
"Everyone, when the army comes, we are all rich people. The ordinary merchants have three thousand yuan, the big merchants have ten thousand yuan, and the princes and nobles have fifty thousand yuan. For the time being, we will pay this money as military expenses. If it is not enough, we will further increase it.
In short, everyone must be prepared to contribute financial resources, so pay now!”
"Wishful thinking!" A short and fat young man suddenly stood up and said loudly: "You Han people are fighting a war, why do you care about us asking for money? I will never give you a cent, and I will go to Beiyang to report you for extortion!
"
"Yes, King De is right, we will not give you money. This is the grassland, and we have thousands of warriors. If you dare to lay a finger on us, just wait for these warriors to tear you apart.
!”
Xu Shuzheng looked at the young man who jumped out playfully. This guy was dressed luxuriously and looked to be less than twenty years old. His face did not have many traces of exposure to the weather. On the contrary, it was white and tender. At first glance, he looked pampered.
Already.
Others called him King De, and Xu Shuzheng immediately understood who this guy was. He was Prince Demuchukdonglupu, one of the most important and powerful princes in Inner Mongolia. Although he is not old, he heard that he was
A group of ambitious guys gathered around him, always trying to sow discord between Han and Meng. This German king also often said something about trying to be independent and self-governing.
The Beiyang government has always had nothing to do with such a powerful prince. It can only try to win over him and just granted him the power to take charge of the flag government. But this guy still jumped out and dared to challenge himself, which made Xu Shuzheng very dissatisfied.
"Wang De, Xu always means what he says. If you don't pay, you will be dead. No one is exception, including you, the noble prince!" Xu Shuzheng approached King De as he spoke, with a cold look on his face.
Smile: "I no longer threaten you with Beiyang. Prime Minister Duan has stepped down, and Xu is just a lonely ghost. But this is good, because there is no burden anymore, and I can let go. Maybe I will kill you."
It can also cause some trouble for Zhang Tinglan. Why would I not do it?"
Facing Xu Shuzheng. King De felt uncomfortable all over his body. He felt like a yellow sheep being stared at by a pack of wolves in the prairie. He was unable to advance or retreat and might lose his head at any time. His white and fat face had already soaked with blood.
Sweating, under Xu Shuzheng's gaze, he couldn't help but take a step back.
Xu Shuzheng waved his hand. Several soldiers rushed over with guns in hand, and pointed their sharp bayonets at King De. When this guy saw this, he finally got scared. He hurriedly said: "Don't kill me, I'm willing to pay you!"
After solving this guy, everyone else was no longer a problem. They had to hand over the money honestly. There were more than 100 people in total. Xu Shuzheng received more than 800,000 yuan. This amount of money is not too small.
The troops he brought were only a little over 10,000 people, and each person received an average of eighty yuan, which was enough for them to work hard.
Xu Shuzheng finally showed a smile: "These are distinguished guests. They have been invited to the military camp and taken good care of me. If anything happens, I will need their help!"
After he finished speaking, Xiao Xu laughed loudly again. Upon hearing this, King De and others realized that the money was not a one-time payment, but that they were treated as a bank vault and could be withdrawn as needed. Who could bear this?
"Xu Shuzheng, don't push yourself too far. If you continue to act recklessly, you will definitely not end well!"
"Prince De, Mr. Xu has met a bad end a long time ago. You don't need to curse him!" Xu Shuzheng turned to the soldiers and said: "Prince De's house has the fattest cattle and sheep. You can get them all and give everyone a good reward."
, even if it’s the prince’s treat.”
When these soldiers heard that there was beef and mutton to eat, they cheered again, and then they all went to search for it. King De was gnashing his teeth on the side, and the corners of his eyes were about to burst. However, he had no choice but to obey the arrangement honestly.
However, this guy was not willing to be manipulated, but kept thinking of ways to deal with it. He wanted Xiao Xu to pay the price for his recklessness.
Xu Shuzheng no longer cared about what King De thought. He paid the military pay and allowed the soldiers to eat beef and mutton. The morale of the army finally recovered a lot. Then he seized the time to dig fortifications around Duolun, hoping to
Fight to the death with Fengjun here!
Just as Xu Shuzheng was making arrangements, Sun Anhu, commanding the Feng army, also approached Duolun. When he was less than 20 kilometers away from Duolun, Sun Anhu called his deputy Zhang Henian over.
"Happy New Year, how do you think this battle is going to be fought?"
"Duolun is located in the grassland. Although there are some hills around it, it is not dangerous at all. This terrain has an absolute advantage for us. As long as we can use our firepower advantage, we can definitely break Duolun's defense."
Sun Anhu also nodded. The first four brigades of the border defense army were all direct descendants of Zhang Tinglan, and they had to deal with the pressure from Russia. They were often the first to change their equipment and had the strongest firepower configuration. One brigade was equipped with twelve guns and one gun.
152mm howitzers, twenty-four 122mm howitzers, and twenty-four 76mm mountain guns. With this artillery configuration alone, there will be no problem in attacking a division of the old Beiyang.
In addition, Fengjun also imitated the German MP18 submachine gun, and now it has produced results. The first batch of 3,000 units was produced. Sun Anhu’s men equipped a limited battalion for experiments. The soldiers were very interested in the new submachine gun.
Weapons are highly regarded.
Especially in tough battles, violent and consistent firepower is more important than accuracy. It can play a very good suppressive role. It is light, flexible and easy to carry. After a period of training, the soldiers couldn't put it down. Sun Anhu also fell in love with this weapon.
Wanting to test the effectiveness in actual combat, I attacked Duolun this time, just as Xu Shuzheng's subordinates were practicing their skills.
"Indeed, as long as we don't make mistakes, relying on Xu Shuzheng's few remaining troops will have no effect. But the commander-in-chief wants to capture this guy alive. When attacking, he will have the cavalry battalion dispatched, bypass Duolun, and kill their
The retreat has been cut off, it is best to capture Xu Shuzheng alive."
Everything was almost arranged. The large forces of Fengjun were rolling towards Duolun. The forwards quickly approached the outer defense line. Fengjun quickly entered the battle state. The artillery position had been constructed. The metal gun body full of power showed that
Unparalleled power.
"Move quickly, aim for me, and hit hard!"
Zhang Henian commanded the artillery and pointed the thick muzzle at the enemy. With an order, more than a dozen artillery fired together. In an instant, a huge cloud of gunpowder smoke was set off on the Chahar army's position, and the violent explosion instantly took away the enemy.
Countless lives.
The equipment of these Chahar troops is very poor. They don't even have a few seventy-five artillery pieces. They are so valuable in peacetime that they are reluctant to fight. They only used them for a few times in war. Facing Fengjun's heavy artillery, they had no choice.
Not only was there no way to fight, I didn't even know how to avoid it.
When they were building trenches, they only dug a shallow trench, which could barely cover their bodies. There were no such things as cat-ear holes. The worst part was that their trenches were dug almost in a straight line, so
After a cannon shell explodes, its lethality will be doubled, and surrounding soldiers will be affected. One death will cause a large area.
After less than ten minutes of shelling, the Chahar army's positions were all engulfed in flames and smoke. There were broken limbs and wounded everywhere, groaning in pain. They had never encountered such a violent attack in their lives.
The shelling and violent explosions have destroyed their hearing, and blood has flowed from the ears of some soldiers.
They could only see a large group of figures appearing in the direction of Feng Jun from a distance, approaching quickly. Just as Feng Jun was approaching, they placed another cannon barrel on the ground, and the muzzle was pointed at them again.
, and soon mortar shells like hailstones came over. Compared with the huge power of heavy artillery, the more terrifying thing about mortars is the rate of fire. At least ten shells can be fired per minute. Well-trained soldiers can even
Fifteen rounds and twenty rounds were fired.
Continuous shells fell on their heads mercilessly, and more and more people died on the spot. There were large pieces of corpses. The living people finally couldn't bear it anymore. Some guys screamed and threw their hands into the air.
He threw his tattered rifle on the ground, then turned around and ran away, not caring about anything else.
As soon as one escaped, there was a second one, and a wave of escape soon formed. The outer positions could not withstand even a round of attacks, and were easily broken through by Feng Jun. Seeing Feng Jun's rapid advance, Zhang Henian
There wasn't even much joy on his face. It really didn't take much effort to deal with this kind of miscellaneous troops. The only problem was how to end the battle as soon as possible.
"Brothers, follow me and capture Duolun in one fell swoop!"
The soldiers formed a battle formation in tacit understanding and pressed towards Duolun silently. The speed was beyond imagination. Xu Shuzheng, Qu Tongfeng and others were still supervising the battle from the rear. When they saw that Chahar's army was unbearable,
One blow, a crazy rout, and his eyes were red.
Xu Shuzheng raised his pistol and killed three deserters on the spot: "Hold them all, don't run away, deserters will be executed!"
At this time, the Fengjun troops were pressing over, just like chasing sheep on the grassland. Chahar's troops no longer had the courage to turn around and resist. More and more people fell down, and more
People run for their lives.
Even the troops in the rear were affected, and their morale dropped to freezing point in an instant. Seeing this situation, Xu Shuzheng could only look up to the sky and sigh, there was no way to save him! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster
