Years of the Republic of China 1913

Northeast, Fengtian North Camp, Zhang Zuolin didn't close his eyes all day, the bad situation on the front line made him extremely irritable, and the loss of two consecutive lines of defense in just one day made Zhang Zuolin look much older all of a sudden.

"Report, Commander Sun has withdrawn to Buyun Mountain." Chief of Staff Yang Yuting hurried in with a telegram in his hand. Seeing Zhang Zuolin sitting in a corner with his eyes closed, he quickly approached the bow to report.

"How many brothers have been withdrawn?" Zhang Zuolin asked with his eyes open.

"Including those who retreated earlier, the 54th Division is less than a whole regiment." Yang Yuting said sadly.

"Hey..." Clenching his fist and pounding his thigh heavily, Zhang Zuolin's heart ached terribly. There was only less than one regiment left in a whole division, and he also lost two lines of defense. Such a loss was already hurting him. My muscles are shaking.

"Has Zhang Fuchen arrived at Buyun Mountain?" Zhang Zuolin asked hoarsely.

"The striker arrived before dark." Yang Yuting replied with a nod.

"Then let Sun Jiugong retreat to Fengtian to rest, and the Buyunshan defense line will be handed over to Zhang Fuchen." Zhang Zuolin thought for a while and said, Yang Yuting quickly said yes, turned around and hurried out to send a report.

Although Sun Liechen lost two lines of defense, Zhang Zuolin did not intend to punish him. On the contrary, Zhang Zuolin was very grateful and ashamed of this confidant general.If he hadn't been smart enough to let Yang Du hang out for two days in vain, and he hadn't listened to the advice of the staff sent by the General Staff to set up defenses and set up barbed wire and multiple trenches on each line of defense, otherwise he wouldn't have let Ri himself succeed so easily. .

It is precisely because of his own reasons and mistakes that Zhang Zuolin has now tasted the bitter fruit.If Sun Liechen hadn't reacted in time and tried his best to block the Japanese on the second line of defense for a whole day, the situation would have been even worse now.But now, Sun Liechen's army has been disabled, and he has done his best. At this time, why would Zhang Zuolin, such a hero, let him stay in Buyun Mountain and fight the Japanese again?Removing Sun Liechen and his brothers is not only a statement as the commander in chief.It is also a loving reward for their heroic battles.

Who would have thought that Yang Yuting would be back soon, he told Zhang Zuolin.In the telegram, Sun Liechen decided to stick to Buyun Mountain with Zhang Zuoxiang, and refused to retreat to the death.

"Fuck you, mess around! Send a report to Buyunshan again. Ask Sun Jiugong to withdraw to Lao Tzu immediately! Tell him, this is a military order! If you don't follow Lao Tzu's head!" Zhang Zuolin was furious, and pointed at him The head of the guard shouted: "You! Take a few people to Buyun Mountain for me now. If Sun Jiugong still refuses to obey the order to retreat, I will tie him back for me!"

"Commander, calm down, calm down!" Yang Yuting didn't know that Zhang Zuolin was not angry at Sun Liechen for not obeying orders, but because he felt sorry for the general.He hurriedly dissuaded him from the side, and waved to the head of the guard with his hands behind his back, signaling that he should not act for the time being.

"Marshal. Mr. Sun said a few words in the telegram. After reading it, I feel that it is good for Mr. Sun to stay in Buyun Mountain."

"What did he say?" Zhang Zuolin was taken aback, wondering.

Yang Yuting quickly took out the telegram from his pocket, pointed to the content on it and said: "Mr. Sun has been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army for a day, and he is already familiar with the Japanese army's offensive methods. Although Zhang Fuchen is a general, his troops did not fight against the Japanese army. Therefore, Master Sun thinks that it is far better for him to stay in Buyunshan to assist General Zhang Fuchen than to withdraw to Fengtian to rest at this time. In addition, Master Sun also made a suggestion, that is, he hopes to send the wounded of 54 back first, commander .Look at this..."

Zhang Zuolin bulged his eyes and was sullen, and didn't answer for a long time, then closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before sighing: "Well, I will listen to Sun Jiugong, but people still have to be sent, and I must protect Sun Jiugong for me, and I must never let him go." He won't hurt even a hair!"

"Yes!"

On Buyunshan defense line, when Zhang Zuolin's second telegram arrived, Sun Liechen was the first to take it and read it, and then smiled gratifiedly.

"Brother Fuchen, the commander-in-chief has agreed, and I will trouble you next time, Brother Fuchen."

"Brother Zanyao, what did you say, you and I are still so polite?" Zhang Zuoxiang waved his hand, and said very modestly: "When it comes to fighting brothers with Ri himself, there is no such thing as brothers, Brother Zanyao dealt with Ri. I have experience, and it takes a lot to rely on to defend Buyunshan's line of defense."

"You and my brothers don't have to be too polite, we will fight the enemy together." Sun Liechen nodded without being polite.Then he immediately let the 54 wounded continue to retreat to Fengtian, and reorganized the remaining soldiers of the 54th Division to form a reinforced battalion, which was included in Zhang Zuoxiang's 53rd Division sequence, and was commanded by Zhang Zuoxiang.

Among Fengtian's four lines of defense, apart from the first and second lines of defense, the fourth line of defense is the strongest. After all, the first two lines of defense directly face Ri himself, and the fourth line of defense is the last hurdle to guard Fengtian. The Yunshan line of defense was not paid much attention at the beginning, and it was inferior to the other three lines of defense in terms of preparation and construction.

But things are often so strange. Buyunshan's line of defense, which has never been valued, has now become the most important line of defense. The Japanese army suddenly launched a despicable sneak attack, breaking through the first and second lines of defense one after another within a day, which caught the Chinese defenders by surprise.And living in the Japanese army behind Buyun Mountain has become the key of the key. Whether it is Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen or Zhang Zuoxiang on the front line, they are very clear in their hearts.

Time was running out, and perhaps the Japanese army would arrive the next day. Zhang Zuoxiang asked Sun Liechen about the offensive characteristics and defensive points of the Japanese army overnight, and ordered his soldiers and civilians to step up the reinforcement of the defense line.Even more because of Zhang Zuolin's awakening, Zhang Zuoxiang brought a lot of barbed wire fences when he came here. These barbed wire fences were set up one by one according to the method of the staff officer sent by Beijing, and they were stretched densely in front of the trenches.

"This barbed wire is a good thing! If we also have this thing in the daytime, how can Xiaori book come over easily." Inspecting the defense line layout with Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen couldn't help sighing when he looked at the barbed wire with thorns, with this Fuck, the Japanese army's charge will definitely not be as easy as it was during the day, and their defense will also be more stable.

"Here, and here..." Observing the line of defense, Sun Liechen pointed out a few key points, reminding Zhang Zuoxiang that he must set up multiple intersecting machine gun firepower nets, and also set up several artillery positions on the heights of Baiyun Mountain.Having suffered from the lack of heavy weapons, Sun Liechen was particularly concerned about this, and Zhang Zuoxiang also humbly obeyed them one by one, and immediately asked someone to make arrangements.

At the same time, the Japanese army was full of joy. The tenth division of Katsura Yamaguchi, who served as the forward, took down the first and second lines of defense of the Chinese at a small cost of less than 27 people, and wiped out The 54th Division, the main force of the [-]th Army.This is an extremely brilliant result. Katsura Yamaguchi, as the main attacking division, was very proud of it. He even made a bold statement at the celebration banquet. His tenth division can hit the city of Fengtian in only three days, and win the battle within five days. Down the whole Fengtian.

"Yamaguchi-kun is truly worthy of being a warrior of our empire's heroes! After taking down Mukden, I will make a contribution to Yamaguchi-kun in front of the emperor!" Acting Commander-in-Chief Yusaku Uehara said with an unusually rare praise, smiling all over his face.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, my Great Japanese Empire is invincible, and my Great Japanese Army is invincible!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is invincible, and the Great Japanese Army is invincible!"

All the officers present shouted and cheered loudly, their expressions were so fanatical and excited.It's no wonder that when an attack with nearly the same troops was launched, they were able to defeat their opponents with such a small loss, making these Japanese feel that victory is so close.The squadron on the opposite side is not their opponent at all. It seems that it is not too long to take down the entire Fengtian, and even if they take the entire Northeast, it may not take long.Some generals who failed to serve as forwards looked at the complacent Yamaguchi Katsuki with envious eyes, thinking in their hearts how great it would be if their own troops were the first to attack!It's a pity, who made the Tenth Division the only Type A division right now?As the Tenth Division, which is one head above other divisions, its status in the army is far from what they can compare.

With this thought in mind, in order to gain some merit, and taking advantage of Uehara Yusuke's joy, some people tentatively suggested that the [-]th Division was a little tired after a day of fighting, and whether they could change the next attack and let them replace the [-]th Division. Ten divisions?In this way, the Tenth Division can rest and maintain the best fighting condition to cope with the fierce battle that may come.

This suggestion was made just now, before Yusaku Uehara could answer, Katsura Yamaguchi stretched his face, which was as ugly as a dead old lady.

"My Tenth Division doesn't need to rest at all. The Chinese people on the opposite side are no match for my Tenth Division. The Tenth Division is fully capable of occupying Fengtian alone!"

"Yamaguchi-kun's military feats are outstanding, but it's not appropriate for the soldiers to fight for a long time. Let us take care of the next little trouble." Yamaguchi Katsura's expression of eating alone made others feel uncomfortable, and someone retorted immediately .

"Bastard! How can a mere Class B division speak so wildly?" Katsura Yamaguchi reprimanded him without regard to his status.

"You..." The face of the general who was scolded changed, and he stretched out his hand to scold back. At this moment, Yusaku Uehara, acting commander-in-chief, quickly raised his hand to stop the two sides from continuing to argue.

In order to take into account the mentality of other people, although Yusaku Uehara also felt from his heart that only the strength of the Tenth Division should be able to defeat the Chinese on the opposite side, but the war is one, and the unity and assistance of his subordinates are still necessary, so in order to appease the other From a human point of view, he still made some adjustments so that the [-]th Division continued to be the main offensive while the other troops served as the secondary offensive, so that when the war ended, others would not get any credit.
