Lao Feng wanted a quick victory, so he chose the most direct attack route, which was to march along the Beijing-Fengtian Railway. The first stop was Xinmin. If Xinmin was captured, he would be able to attack Fengtian.
Lao Zhang's response was the same. The main force of the 27th Division, plus a new regiment of the Garrison Division, rushed to Xinmin to set up defenses to meet Feng Delin.
During the march, Zhang Zuolin couldn't help but observe the new regiment. This troop was completely trained according to the training model formulated by Zhang Tinglan. During the march, there were only neat footsteps and no other sounds.
No, every soldier looked focused and the team was uniform.
In contrast, although the 27th Division is an old unit, it is far less organized than the new regiment. In fact, Lao Zhang asked Zhang Tinglan to lead the troops to join the battle, just to see the actual effect of the garrison division training. Zhang Tinglan quickly wiped out Liaonan.
Lao Zhang was not only surprised by the rebels, but also a little confused. He had led troops for many years and asked himself that the 27th Division could not do it so quickly and neatly.
Doesn't this mean that the combat effectiveness of the Garrison Division is already higher than that of the 27th Division? After Lao Zhang had this question in his mind, he wanted to actually take a look at the difference between the two military generations.
After taking a look, Zhang Zuolin nodded secretly. At least in terms of marching, there was already a gap between the 27th Division. Lao Zhang had a new understanding of the regularization construction advocated by Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan.
If you want to make the army more combat effective, you will definitely not be able to rely on the old methods of management. Speaking of which, the 27th Division can be regarded as a veteran army that has experienced hundreds of battles, but after all, it has the foundation of bandits, and some habits have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
It cannot be changed at all.
At this juncture of the war, Lao Zhang was actually not thinking more about how to deal with Feng Delin, but thinking about the future. How to completely transform Feng Jun!
After the army arrived at Xinmin, they quickly seized various favorable terrains, built defense lines, and waited for Feng Delin to crash into them.
At night, Lao Zhang discussed the battle strategy with Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui. After everything was finalized, Lao Zhang said with a smile: "In the past two days of marching, I have been paying attention to Zhuo Yan's new regiment.
The team is well-organized and very fast. Although the 27th Division has experienced many battles, it can't beat the opponent in terms of marching speed. This shows that the garrison division is really unique."
"Commander, the garrison division did a good job in southern Liaoning. However, the 27th Division is not a vegetarian. We are all old brothers. Charging into battle is just like eating and drinking. The combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of those idiots."
Zhang Jinghui said confidently.
"Jing Hui, don't rush to say who is better. Let's inspect it in person now to see how their war preparations are in Zhu Yan."
After Lao Zhang made up his mind, he took Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui straight to Zhang Tinglan's military camp. The new regiment led by Zhang Tinglan was mainly responsible for logistics tasks and did not need to be on the front line. Therefore, they were all stationed in Liuhegou.
After Zhang Tinglan arranged the soldiers, he rested very relaxedly. The earlier the duel between Lao Zhang and Lao Feng started, the better it would be for Fengtian. If it was delayed, it would affect the process of unifying the three provinces, and there would be no action for the three eastern provinces.
Foundation, don't expect to reap real benefits when Tsarist Russia collapses.
That's why Zhang Tinglan tried his best to persuade Lao Zhang to fight. Now that he has come to this step, Zhang Tinglan is also very relaxed. Just when he was about to take a rest, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Zhang Tinglan hurriedly went outside the military camp to check. A group of soldiers were escorting five people and came over in a crowd. However, he didn't know it. He was shocked when he saw that the leader was Lao Zhang, followed by Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui.
There were two guards, and they were both arrested.
At this time, Zhang Xueliang also ran over. When he saw that his father had been arrested, Zhang Xueliang was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"This is the commander-in-chief, why don't you let go quickly!"
These soldiers were also a little dumbfounded, and they were all at a loss. On the contrary, Lao Zhang looked indifferent, patted the shoulder of the soldier who grabbed him, and comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, you must be careful in the future, and there can't be anything."
If you make an omission, don’t care who it is, you can arrest it if you need to, and you must not be polite. The life and death of other brothers are in your hands."
Lao Zhang comforted him and sent the other soldiers away. Zhang Tinglan hurriedly invited Lao Zhang to his tent.
"Uncle Qi, do you want to have a private visit on an incognito server?"
"Damn it, your guards are tight enough. I was still three to five miles away, so I wanted to circle around the military camp and have a look. But before we took two steps, there were several guns holding us back.
, I was directly escorted over. If I dare to resist, I'm afraid these guys will kill me directly."
"Uncle Seven, if you keep coming over to take a look, you can't do surprise attacks. Those on guard at the perimeter are all sniper troops. Only a few of you act together will they capture you alive. If it's just one or two people, their whereabouts are secretive.
, maybe just shoot."
"I fell into the hands of a bunch of new recruits." Zhang Jinghui said bluntly: "I'm sorry, where are these guys hiding? Why didn't we find out at all? I have been in the world for many years.
It’s not easy to fool my eyes.”
In fact, this is what Lao Zhang wanted to know. He decided to come over to check, just to test the level of vigilance. Although he was caught, Lao Zhang was still very pleased. These soldiers were very vigilant, which made Lao Zhang very satisfied.
.
"Dad, how about I take you to see it!" Zhang Xueliang said: "This is the sniper unit's ability to disguise and hide. They can hide in one place and remain motionless for several hours."
"Oh? It's so awesome, I must see it!"
Zhang Xueliang took the lead and took Lao Zhang to another tent. He called two soldiers. They were both soldiers receiving sniper training. They brought over their disguise. It was a fishing net filled with dead grass branches.
, when using it, it also needs to be stained with some snow.
Put this thing on your body, and when you look at it from a distance, it's just a pile of dead grass, and you can't tell it apart at all. After watching the demonstration, Lao Zhang kept nodding. Although this disguise is inconspicuous, it can definitely have an unexpected effect.
, if paired with accurate marksmanship, as long as you are two hundred meters away, you must be careful with your head at all times.
"I have to say, wearing this thing and being motionless for several hours would be too much torture for people." Sun Liechen couldn't help but said: "This month, the snow melts during the day and freezes at night, and there is mud and water everywhere.
, can people bear it?"
"You can lose your head at any time on the battlefield. How can you not bear a little pain? As long as you work hard and train, you can be tempered into steel."
Everyone nodded, and Lao Zhang suddenly noticed Zhang Xueliang: "Xiao Liuzi, I heard Zhu Yan said that I don't want you to be trained according to the standards of a sniper?"
"Yes, but I just came here, and I will learn from the basics. The basics are important!" Zhang Xueliang's expression was a little unnatural. This young marshal was used to being pampered. How could he be willing to suffer this, so he gave up his job within two days.
"Xiao Liuzi, don't play tricks with your father. Tonight you will go out to guard. If there is any oversight, you will be punished in accordance with military law." Lao Zhang casually threw the broken fishing net to Zhang Xueliang.
The young marshal immediately felt as if he had eaten bitter gourd. Isn't this fatal? He looked at his father with a pleading look, but Zhang Zuolin just glared. Zhang Xueliang had no choice but to obey and reluctantly came into close contact with the muddy water.
Already.
After coming out of the New Army camp, Sun Liechen said: "Yuting, Han Qing is still a child. Are you a little anxious?"
"Nothing can be made without polishing it!" Lao Zhang sighed: "I'm really afraid that he will be left far away and unable to take on big responsibilities. Then it will be inappropriate for me to do anything!"
Sun Liechen is not an idiot. Zhang Tinglan has now become a leader among the younger generation and has his own power. If Zhang Xueliang continues to act like a fool, he will be completely thrown away by Zhang Tinglan.
At that time, Zhang Xueliang's position as a young commander will not be stable. As the saying goes, if you don't think about the long-term, you will have immediate worries. You have to be prepared for this kind of thing in advance.
"Brother Zanyao, if you want to be in charge of a party, you don't need internal affairs. You are proficient in military affairs. As for economics and diplomacy, you can learn slowly. The most important thing is to be responsible, independent, and able to take responsibility.
, I’m afraid that Xiaoliuzi is not good at this!”
As the saying goes, a child is worse than his father. Lao Zhang can see clearly. Even though Zhang Tinglan has done many things, Lao Zhang is not too worried. Those things are the work of the general and prime minister, not the monarch. Lao Zhang is concerned with domestic affairs. He was not as good as Wang Yongjiang, and in terms of military affairs he was not as good as Yang Yuting, who was infused with foreign ink. He was not as popular as Sun Liecheng and Zhang Zuoxiang, but he was a well-deserved leader of Fengjun.
The most important thing is that Lao Zhang is responsible, can make decisions, and can do something and not do anything. Everyone must believe in him and recognize him, but Zhang Xueliang is far behind in this aspect.
It must be said that Lao Zhang has unique vision. After Zhang Xueliang took charge of Fengjun, he lost the Northeast without firing a shot during the September 18th Incident. He just lacked responsibility and could not support the overall situation!
"Tomorrow we will transfer the new corps to Jinwutaizi and take charge of the left wing's defense line!"
Lao Zhang is already preparing to give Zhang Xueliang more training. The new regiment can no longer stay behind and must participate in the battle.
As the saying goes, military orders are like mountains, Zhang Tinglan received the order and hurriedly led his men to set off. After arriving at Jinwutaizi, Zhang Tinglan actively directed his men to build fortifications. While they were busy and busy, the troops of the 28th Division also came over.
Tang Yulin and Zhang Haipeng led the vanguard to the front line of the red flag.
This was the gateway to the new people and a battleground for military strategists. After some weighing, Zhang Haipeng led the main force to attack Dahongqi, while Tang Yulin led his men to attack Jinwutaizi in a roundabout way as a support.
The two strongest troops in Fengtian were ready for battle. The front lines covering dozens of miles opened fire almost simultaneously. Artillery fire roared into the sky and gunshots fired. Tang Yulin's more than 2,000 troops happened to collide with the new regiment.
.
Most of these soldiers participated in a real battle for the first time. Although the training and testing were strict, when they actually arrived on the battlefield, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and some of them turned pale.
"There is no need to be afraid. It is useless to be afraid. The first time I went to the battlefield, I captured Pu Wei, Prince Gong of the former Qing Dynasty. From then on, I understood a truth. The more afraid of death, the easier it is to die. On the battlefield
, don’t even think about the useless thing, just shoot and destroy the enemy, and you will survive!”
Zhang Henian is doing mobilization work for these soldiers. He has been promoted to company commander due to his military exploits. This is the time when he is full of energy and wants to make achievements.
Soon the two sides began to exchange fire. The New Army soldiers were condescending and saw a large number of soldiers appearing in their sights. They rushed up like a tide.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and gradually they could clearly see each other's appearance. The new army finally got the order and opened fire together.
Intense bullets were fired at them, and the enemy soldiers at the front were quickly killed. There were more and more corpses in front of the small hillside. However, the enemy seemed to be dying, and they rushed upwards. Gradually, the enemy soldiers approached the new enemy.
Army position.
At this time, Zhang Henian suddenly raised his hand and threw a black object. He was tall and had long arms, so he could throw it far. He heard a violent explosion and black smoke in the enemy's ranks.
Afterwards, three or five enemy soldiers fell down. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
