Fengxian Jiangshan

Duolun is an important transportation place on the grassland, with close business contacts. At first, it mainly did business with Beijing and Tianjin. In the past two years, with the rapid development of the three eastern provinces, it has attracted a large amount of materials to flow to the northeast. Duolun is also an important The transfer base gathered a large number of merchants.

Xu Shuzheng ordered to go down, and he arrested hundreds of people, more than half of them were businessmen, and there were more than [-] Mongolian nobles and princes, standing in a large area in black.Xiao Xu walked in front of these people with a cold smile on his lips.

"Everyone, when the army is attacking, everyone is rich. Ordinary merchants have [-] yuan, big merchants [-] yuan, and princes and nobles [-] yuan. For the time being, pay the money first and use it as military expenses. If it is not enough, you can increase it further. In short, everyone should be prepared to contribute financial resources, and pay now!"

"Wishful thinking!" A short and fat young man suddenly stood up and said loudly: "You Han people are fighting wars, why do you ask us for money, my king will never give you a penny, and I will go to Beiyang to report on you for extortion! "

"Yes, De Wang is right, we will not give you money, this is the grassland, we have thousands of warriors, if you dare to move a finger of us, we will wait for these warriors to tear you apart! "

Xu Shuzheng looked playfully at the young man who jumped out from the lead. This guy was dressed luxuriously. He looked less than 20 years old, and his face didn't have too many signs of wind and sun. On the contrary, he was white and tender. He looked like he was used to being pampered. .

Others called him King De, and Xu Shuzheng immediately understood who this guy was. He was Prince Demchukdongrup, one of the most important and powerful princes in Inner Mongolia.Although he is not very old, I heard that a group of ambitious guys gathered around him, always trying to provoke the relationship between Han and Meng.The German king also often said something about trying to be independent and self-governing.

The Beiyang government has always had nothing to do with this kind of powerful prince, it can only try to win over him, and just granted him the power to take charge of the banner administration.But this guy still jumped out and dared to challenge him, which made Xu Shuzheng very dissatisfied.

"King De, Xu always counts what he says. If you don't pay the money, you will die, no one is an exception, including you, the noble prince!" Xu Shuzheng approached King De as he said.With a cold smile on his face: "It's over for you to threaten me with Beiyang. Prime Minister Duan has stepped down, and Xu is a lonely ghost. But that's good, there is no burden on the contrary, and I can let go. Put you If you are killed, maybe you can cause some trouble for Zhang Tinglan. Why don't you say I will do it!"

Facing Xu Shuzheng.King De felt uncomfortable all over his body, like a gazelle being targeted by prairie wolves, unable to advance or retreat, and might lose his head at any time.Sweat was already dripping on his plump face, and under Xu Shuzheng's gaze, he couldn't help but take a step back.

Xu Shuzheng waved his hand.A few soldiers rushed over with their guns in hand, and pointed their bright bayonets at De Wang. This guy finally got scared when he saw this.Hastily said: "Don't kill me, I am willing to give money!"

After solving this guy, the others are no longer a problem, so they can only hand in the money honestly. There are more than 100 people in total, and Xu Shuzheng received more than 80 yuan.This amount of money is not too small. The troops he brought in are only in the early 1s, and each person can get an average of 80 yuan, which is enough for them to work hard.

Xu Shuzheng finally showed a smile: "These are distinguished guests, please invite me to the barracks and take good care of them. If there is anything, they must help!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Xu laughed out loud again. When De Wang and others heard this, they dared to feel that the money was not a one-time request, but they were treated as a bank vault, and they could be taken out whenever they needed it. Who can bear it?

"Xu Shuzheng, don't push yourself too hard. If you continue to act recklessly, you will definitely not end well!"

"King De, Xu has already ended well, so you don't need to curse!" Xu Shuzheng turned his head to the soldiers and said, "There are the fattest cattle and sheep in De Wang's mansion, you all get them here, and treat everyone well." , even if it’s the prince’s treat.”

When the soldiers heard that there was beef and mutton to eat, they immediately cheered again, and then went to search for them all. King De was gnashing his teeth and the corners of his eyes were about to burst, but he had no choice but to obey the arrangement obediently.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 salary and let the soldiers eat beef and mutton. The morale of the army finally recovered a lot.Then he seized the time to dig fortifications around Duolun, wanting to fight Fengjun here to the death!

Just as Xu Shuzheng was making arrangements, Sun Anhu commanded the Feng army and approached Duolun. When he was less than [-] kilometers away from Duolun, Sun Anhu called his deputy Zhang Henian over.

"He Nian, how do you think this battle is going to be fought?"

"Duo Lun is located in the grassland. Although there are some hills around it, it is not considered steep at all. This kind of terrain has an absolute advantage for our side. As long as we can give full play to the superiority of firepower, we can definitely break Duo Lun's defense."

Sun Anhu also nodded. The first four brigades of the border guards were all Zhang Tinglan's confidantes, and they had to deal with the pressure from Russia. They were often the first to change their outfits, and they had the strongest firepower configuration.A brigade is equipped with twelve 150 24mm howitzers, 120 24 76mm howitzers, and [-] [-]mm mountain guns. With this artillery configuration alone, there is no problem in fighting a division of the old Beiyang.

In addition, the Fengjun imitated the German MP18 submachine gun, and now it has produced results. The first batch produced [-] pieces, and Sun Anhu's subordinates equipped a battalion with limited equipment for experiments.Soldiers admired the new weapon of the submachine gun very much.

Especially in tough battles, fierce and coherent 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, soldiers love this weapon, and Sun Anhu also Wanting to test its effectiveness in actual combat, this attack on Duo Lun happened to be the time for Xu Shuzheng's subordinates to practice their skills.

"Indeed, as long as we don't make mistakes, Xu Shuzheng's defeated army will be of no use. However, the commander-in-chief's intention is to capture this guy alive. When attacking, let the cavalry battalion dispatch to bypass Duolun and kill their soldiers." The escape route has been cut off, it is best to capture Xu Shuzheng alive."

All the arrangements are almost ready. The Feng army's large troops are rolling towards Duolun. The striker quickly approached the outer defense line. The Feng army quickly entered the battle state. The artillery position has been built. Incomparable power and influence.

"Hurry up, aim for me, and hit me hard!"

Commanding the artillery, Zhang Henian pointed the thick muzzles at the enemy. With one order, more than a dozen artillery pieces fired together, and in an instant, huge smoke was set off on the Chahar army's position, and the violent explosion instantly took them away. Countless lives.

These troops in Chahar are very poorly equipped, they don't even have a few seven or five artillery pieces. They are so precious in normal times that they don't want to fight at all.Facing Feng Jun's heavy artillery, they couldn't resist at all, not only couldn't resist, they 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, and there were no such things as cat ear holes.The worst thing is that their trenches were dug almost in a straight line. After such a shell exploded, the lethality would be doubled, and the surrounding soldiers would be affected, and one death would be a large area.

After less than 10 minutes of shelling, the positions of the Chahar army were all engulfed in flames and smoke, with broken limbs and wounded everywhere, groaning in pain.They have never encountered such a violent shelling in their life. The violent explosion has destroyed their hearing, and blood has flowed out of some soldiers' ears.

They could only see a large group of figures appearing in the direction of Fengjun from a distance, and they were approaching quickly. When these Fengjun approached, they placed another cannon barrel on the ground, and the muzzle was aimed at them again. , and soon mortar shells like hail came crashing down. Compared with the huge power of heavy artillery, the more terrifying point of mortar is the rate of fire. At least ten shells can be fired in one minute, and well-trained soldiers can even Fifteen rounds and twenty rounds were fired.

Continuous artillery shells fell on their heads mercilessly, more and more people died on the spot, a large number of corpses, the living people finally couldn't bear it, some guys screamed and threw their hands Throwing his tattered rifle on the ground, he turned around and ran, ignoring everything else.

Once there was one who escaped, there was a second one, and a wave of fleeing soon formed. The outer positions did not even withstand a round of attacks, and were easily broken through by the Feng army.Seeing Feng Jun's rapid advance, Zhang Henian didn't even have much joy on his face. It really doesn't take much effort to deal with this kind of miscellaneous troops. The only problem is how to end the battle as soon as possible.

"Brothers, follow me and take Duolun in one fell swoop!"

The soldiers formed a battle formation in tacit understanding, and silently pressed towards Duo Lun. The speed was beyond imagination. Xu Shuzheng, Qu Tongfeng and others were still supervising the battle from the rear. When they saw Hal's army, they were overwhelmed. With one blow, he was defeated crazily, and his eyes were red.

Xu Shuzheng raised his pistol and killed three deserters on the spot: "Hold them all, don't run away, all deserters will be executed!"

At this time, the Feng army's large troops had already pressed over, as if chasing sheep on the grassland. Chahar's troops no longer had the courage to turn back and resist. More and more people fell down, and more and more people fell down. People fled desperately.

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 recover! (To be continued..)
