    Indeed, a mere three thousand people could not pose a serious problem to Zhang Zuolin.  However, considering that the "Qinwang Army" in southern Liaoning established by the Zongshe Party under the protection of the Japanese in Fengtian and southern Jilin is also quite powerful, once the two are combined, a pincer attack from the north and the south may result in a situation where the enemy cannot be defeated.  If the Japanese indulge themselves, which is indeed the case, the entire southern Fengtian Province may no longer be owned by Zhang Zuolin.

    ¡°And if a team of 3,000 people just slipped away from Zhang Zuolin¡¯s defense zone in such a mighty way, where would Lao Zhang¡¯s prestige be?  Does Fengtian Twenty-Seventh Division still have face?  What will the Central Committee say?  Besides, the culprit of the assassination has not yet been punished, and Zhang Zuolin is full of anger. He cannot bear it!

    And this assumption is very likely to happen, because according to the intelligence of the "Service Bureau", this bandit army has been preserved under the protection of the Japanese and was dispatched according to the instructions of the Japanese; in terms of personnel, it is said that  It is said that Captain Qing Yi Shengmin, who was a regular officer, and some hidden Japanese soldiers were mixed in.  Whatever they were doing, they must have some agenda based on their understanding of the Japanese over the years.  As the saying goes, there is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason.  Zhang Zuolin's jurisdiction intersects with the South Manchuria Railway under Japanese control. Any loophole has the opportunity to allow bandits to "pass harmlessly".

    Zhang Zuolin convened the senior generals of the 27th Division at the General's Mansion to discuss the suppression of bandits. Zhang Hanqing, Han Linchun, and Guo Songling, as new generation officers, were also present.  He stared at the huge map of Fengtian and Northeast China on the wall, thinking hard.

    According to the usual tactics of the Japanese, suppressing bandits is not a problem. The problem is how to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of loopholes in the process of suppressing bandits.  Think about the story in Shandong the year before last. The Japanese declared war on Germany and attacked Qingdao, and immediately used the Jiaoji Railway on the pretext of war.  After the war, in the name of maintaining order, they refused to leave. When conflicts with the Chinese people occurred, they immediately went to war to achieve complete military occupation of the railway, but during negotiations they asked China to redeem themselves.

    Where is the place where the Japanese want to gain benefits?

    Only Liaoyuan!

    Liaoyuan¡¯s real name is Zhengjiatun. It was originally the land of the Zhelim League. It was renamed in the second year of the Republic of China.  It is located at the junction of Jilin and Fengtian, guarding the South Manchuria Railway from the east and a good place leading to Inner Mongolia to the west.  Considering that Zhang Zuolin was in Fengtian and firmly blocked the Japanese's westward advance, the geographical location was very important.

    According to the Treaty of Portsmouth, Chinese troops are not allowed to station troops for thirty miles on both sides of the South Manchuria Railway, but the Japanese only have a staff of two railway guards per kilometer.  The dream of swallowing up Mongolia and establishing a "Manchu-Mongolia Republic" cannot be achieved in any case with such a small amount of manpower.  Only encroaching and advancing towards Inner Mongolia bit by bit is the right way.  So the Japanese set up a police station in Liaoyuan without authorization, despite the strong protests of the Chinese government.

    It¡¯s not your territory, and it doesn¡¯t care about your people administratively. What¡¯s the point of setting up a police station?  But this is the Japanese logic: to protect Japanese expatriates.

    With this police station, the Japanese will interfere in surrounding affairs in an honest and upright manner. Anything that has anything to do with the South Manchuria Railway and anything that has an impact on Liaoyuan security is the Japanese business.  In a word, the Japanese are the "public police" of Northeast China.

    If the rebel bandits flow here, the problem will be huge. The Japanese can station troops in the name of "suppressing the bandits". The hinterland of Jilin and the right wing of Fengtian will be exposed to the iron hoof of the Japanese.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????OUT????????????????? out out of nowhere, hit the Japanese lackeys every time they move, without giving Japan the time or excuse to interfere.

    But if we want to send troops to intercept, to be honest, the troops are a bit stretched.

    A twenty-seventh division must not only guard against the same division Feng Delin in Beizhen, which is just a stone's throw away, but also must guard Fengtian Provincial City and other places, making it impossible to distinguish them.  Moreover, considering that there are still a large number of Japanese soldiers in Fengtian City, after experiencing the assassinations in the past few months, Lao Zhang both hates the Japanese deeply and is wary of them: Who can guarantee that the Japanese assassination will not succeed? Will he directly give a military advice?  Woolen cloth?  However, the rebels are harassing everywhere. Although they are a mob, if they want to stabilize the situation, they must have a large number of troops to completely annihilate them. Otherwise, the defeated army will be scattered and scattered all over the Huzitun area. If the tail is not lost, it will be chaos outside the pass.  Isn't this adding chaos to one's own strategy?

    At this time, someone thought of the student army: "They are mules or horses, let's go out for a walk. Didn't I hear that the student army is well trained? Can they fight?" This was the strange voice of Tang Yulin, commander of the 53rd Brigade.  The Guards Brigade caught up from behind and established a division-level structure not long after its formation. Not only did its numbers catch up with the 27th Division, but its equipment was also given priority.  Seeing a group of student officers coming from behind and rising to high positions like regiment commander and battalion commander without even making any achievements, why don't these Fengtian veterans take advantage of them?  As soon as Tang Yulin said this, many people immediately agreed.

    Sun Liechen said: "The Marshal's Guard Brigade is naturally good, but it takes a long time to establish it."There are too many, and the training is not enough. It may be inconvenient to use it in a hurry.  If you get off to a bad start, your morale will plummet.  The 27th Division can still form a regiment.  With the strength of these bandits, one regiment of our main force should be more than enough.  "This is a good intention to protect the young commander.

    Zhang Zuoxiang, who has always had a close relationship with the Marshal, thinks that using these bandits to train troops is a good way: "Although the student army has not experienced a big battle, since it is an army, it will have to withstand the test sooner or later. The Marshal has been training troops for some time, so let these officers and soldiers  It's okay to go and experience it. A good soldier will naturally have to fight often to become good. I think now is a good opportunity to train troops: the opponent is not very strong, and if you take 10,000 steps back, you won't be defeated.  Go." This was because he knew the strength of the Guard Brigade and wanted the young marshal to take this opportunity to stand out.

    After some thought, Zhang Hanqing and Guo Songling also felt that this was a good opportunity to train troops.  And there is another very important opportunity. Once Fengjun sends troops to Taonan, it will be equivalent to driving a wedge into the border of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces.  Looking at the map, we can see that Taonan is located in the northwest of Jilin, but it is very close to Qiqihar, the capital of Heilongjiang Province (Note: At this time, Harbin was just a riverside city under Russian control. It was only when the Japanese army completely controlled the North-Manchuria Railway that the intersection  It was only after the South Manchuria and North Manchuria Railway that Harbin showed its important status and replaced Qiqihar as the provincial capital).  Once there are changes in Jiang Province, the journey from Taonan will be nearly half the distance from Fengtian.

    And to be honest, Zhang Hanqing did not have any psychological pressure to deal with this insurgent army. What he was worried about was how to completely annihilate the opponent while occupying superior strength. This is the meaning of this battle.  You must know that the opponent only has 3,000 people, but your own army has a large force of tens of thousands!  As long as the tactics are right, if the opponent finds a case where fewer defeats more with three times the force, it is better to find a piece of tofu and die.

    Zhang Zuolin was also very moved: "Well, it's okay to let the new recruit Danzi see the wind and rain, and stay at home. When will it become a reality?" In one sentence, it was decided that the Guard Brigade would end its paper talks and begin its real military career.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
