Zhu Yupu's defection to Lunan Liu Tianling had far-reaching influence.Significant.like a weight.The young marshal competed with Liu Tianling and favored Liu Tianling.The national defense army jumped from the original strength of 6 people to a team of nearly 10 people.According to the popular exaggeration at the time, it can be called an army of 20.

Shandong Governor's Mansion.Since the young marshal took over as the governor of Shandong, he has made drastic changes.The old-fashioned style of the original Shandong garden was replaced by reinforced concrete with a modern flavor of Chinese and Western integration.But the conference room was still extremely luxurious.Carved beams and painted buildings.There are all kinds of exquisite porcelain, celebrity calligraphy and paintings and so on.

It's just that the atmosphere in this conference room is a bit depressing.The young marshal patted the table.Scolding the person in charge of intelligence: "Didn't you say that. Chu Yupu is still wandering. Still choosing. It's doing well now. Give me a reasonable explanation."

Sweat trickled down the intelligence officer's forehead.After hesitating for a long time, he said: "The incident happened suddenly. A messenger from Lunan passed by this morning. At first we thought it was just an ordinary messenger. After they negotiated, we found out that the person who came to deliver the letter was a staff officer of the National Defense Army. Jia Cai."

"What is the national defense army? It's a bandit army."

"Yes. It's Jia Cai, Liu Bandit's military advisor. They talked for more than an hour. After that, Chu Yupu suddenly ordered the whole army to march towards Yanzhou. Ordinary soldiers and officers don't know whether to fight or do other things." Intelligence chief explained carefully.

The staff officer next to him also said: "Young commander. It is important to discuss countermeasures."

The young marshal snorted coldly: "I think you have meritorious service in the usual times. This time, you will be given a lighter sentence. You will be fined for three months. You will be required to write a thorough inspection. If there is another time, you will definitely follow the military law."

"Yes. Yes. Don't worry, young commander. There will be no next time."

"Go down."

The officers of the intelligence service trotted down.

The atmosphere in the conference room eased.The young marshal scanned everyone for a week. "It is now a fact that Chu Yupu surrendered to Bandit Liu. Everyone has a good strategy."

The artillery division commander spoke first. "As far as the current situation is concerned, they already have nearly 6000 troops. They seem to be strong and strong. But have you noticed? Their strength has expanded too fast. Some have recruited Bi Shucheng, and some have recruited Zhu Yupu. Liu Tianling's own army is no more than Five to [-] people. Just think about it. It is impossible to complete the control of the army in such a short period of time. The troops have not run in. The combat effectiveness can be imagined. So they will not attack in the short term."

Immediately someone retorted: "Isn't what you said nonsense. They can't attack. But they will stick to it. The recruits can't attack. But it's okay to rely on fortifications to defend. Let's take a step back. Our army also gathered Zhang Zongchang. A total of [-]. There is only the air force and no navy."

"Young Marshal has almost won over the rich and powerful families in Jinan. Now he has collected a lot of military expenses. I think we should pay close attention to the training of soldiers now. Wait for the soldiers to become capable and then have a main battle with them. Three or two battles will solve the problem." Another suggestion was made.

The young marshal listened quietly.After thinking for a while, he said: "Our advantage lies in having an artillery division. It has [-] cannons. And an air force. The infantry is only capable of combating [-]. The other armies still need training."

The head of the infantry stood up and said, "Give me another two months. I will definitely train the [-] recruited soldiers to be as elite as the veterans we brought from the Northeast."

"Okay. I'll follow you. I'll give you three months. You're done training. You'll have a decisive battle with Bandit Liu in early April." The young marshal nodded.

Everyone continued to discuss.Not to mention.The young marshal's military talent is the same as his ability to pick up girls.That can be described as consummate.Twenty thousand elite soldiers went south.Stop the Yanzhou Army's changes in Tai'an.The local forces in Weifang took refuge in the young marshal.The [-] troops incorporated were trained locally.Dig deep trenches.repair work.Contend with Liu Tianling's forces in Qingdao.For a while, the smell of gunpowder and war in Qilu land became more and more intense.

Yanzhou.Western Front Command.Hua Wei stared wide-eyed.Stare at the map.Sighing: "What a sinister move. The young master of the Zhang family is really not simple. The recruits and veterans are mixed. Tai'an and Laiwu are guarded. Jinan is surrounded like an iron barrel."

Zhao Lianyi said: "The commander, staff officer, and Zhu Yupu have all returned to Longya Mountain. The western front will be handed over to us. I think our division should go out and stir up a circle. Even if we can't attack Jinan, we can still take their troops. The arming is messed up."

"The cavalry has a great advantage in fighting on the plains. But it is not enough to attack the fortifications. There are many mountainous areas in Tai'an. If you are not familiar with the terrain, what will you do if you get in and be surrounded?" Huawei said worriedly.

Zhao Lianyi smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. We are smart. What's more, with the addition of Wu Hai and others, the cavalry level of the army is rising day by day."

"That's good. Let's go around Tai'an and scare them. If there is any advantage, take it. If there is no advantage, come back immediately. Immediately send electricity to the headquarters. Apply for action." Huawei agreed to Zhao Lianyi's proposal.As the deputy commander, he still has relatively great power.However, such a big problem within the opponent's sphere of influence that the entire division is mobilized still needs to apply.

Telegram sent to headquarters.Replied within half an hour.very simple.Researched by the Staff Office.agree.But it cannot be attacked.At the same time, publicize the strategy of the National Defense Army along the road.Distribute flyers.

Zhao Lianyi scratched his head: "We have been arguing for a long time. Our Seventh Division has gone out to distribute advertisements."

"Haha. You applied for this yourself. But don't underestimate the policy propaganda. It's very important. Pay attention to your image along the way. Strict military discipline. Don't harass the people except for attacking bandits."

"Stop. Stop. Don't talk about military discipline anymore. I tell the soldiers every day. Besides, my ears are worn out. Okay. Get ready. I'm leaving tomorrow." Zhao Lianyi said.

Seven divisions.For all cavalry divisions.Even the cooks have horses.A cook has ten soldiers.But at least thirty horses.Food, etc. are carried on horseback.What cavalry combat requires is passability and speed.So the logistics are all war horses.

"Assemble." Following Zhao Lianyi's order.Except for soldiers on duty.All gathered in the school grounds.

"How's the Spring Festival going? I eat steamed buns made of white flour every day. Fish and meat are fine." Zhao Lianyi asked loudly.

"Hehe." Everyone laughed foolishly. "The teacher is right. The life is so good."

"Haha. That's good. I think you've gained weight too. It's time to go out for a stroll. Immediately prepare to set off tomorrow morning tonight. Show off our military might."

The next day happened to be the Lantern Festival.The Seventh Division has a total of 4000 people. 1000 people stayed in the barracks.The remaining 3000 people left Yanzhou for Tai'an.Shandong is a big place.Not to mention small.It is only two hundred miles from Yanzhou to Tai'an.At noon that day, Zhao Lianyi led the cavalry to drive more than 100 miles.Set up camp seventy or eighty miles away from Tai'an.

This surprised the Tai'an defenders.Immediately raise the alert level to the highest.The next morning it was still dark.The defenders behind the sandbag wall outside Tai'an City heard horseshoes beating the ground.boom boom.boom boom.The power of hundreds of horses is unstoppable.

boom.boom.boom.The horsemen on horseback opened fire with their carbine guns.More than a dozen soldiers on duty were overturned on the spot.

The defenders of the city are all the Northeast Army of the Young Marshal.They are all elite soldiers and horses.After a little panic, he immediately entered the state, and the machine gunner was in place.Hit out suddenly.But the cavalry did not charge forward.Instead, it circled back in the oblique stab.

The leader was Wu Hai, the commander of the Second Battalion.The cavalry stopped after going around.retreated 1000 meters away.The bullet can't hit the place.The soldier laughed loudly: "Battalion Commander, we must have frightened them by our disturbance."

Wu Hai said: "It not only scared them, but also scared us. This is shit. There are so many machine guns deployed. No wonder the division commander always said that cavalry can't attack fortified positions."

Another place.Zhao Lianyi led a battalion of 400 troops to appear in a place in Xintai County.There is a small barracks here with about 200 men.The original local soldiers.It was just dawn.Many soldiers have not gotten up yet.

The gate of the barracks.Two listless soldiers held their guns and bowed their heads.Dozed off.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble.Boom.Boom.The door frames of the wooden barracks were beginning to collect dust.The dozing soldier just woke up.I saw a black mass of cavalry on the road in front of the barracks.

The sharp saber waved.The cavalry came over like the wind.Soldiers who had no time to react were chopped down one by one.

The cavalry whistled.Mess around in the barracks.

Officers yelled, "Fold their guns."

"Yes." The cavalry rushed into the barracks one after another.Take away the rifles of these soldiers who just woke up in a daze.A moment later all the cavalry returned.Zhao Lianyi waved the saber in his hand. "retreat."

The cavalry rushed out of the barracks quickly.Nothing remained but a messy horseshoe.The soldiers in the barracks put their heads out of the barracks to watch in fear.I saw the soldiers who had just fallen at the gate of the camp rubbing their necks and getting up one by one.

It turned out that the cavalry had knocked them unconscious with the sharp back of their saber just now.Not hacked.

"Could they be the cavalry of Lunan? They are so powerful. Why did they take away our guns but didn't kill a single person?" The soldiers asked.

Everyone shook their heads.They all expressed their incomprehension.

But soon found the leaflets on the ground.Lunan recruits troops.Good treatment.Protect the country for the people.

"Hey. What a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. If they attacked just now, there would not be any of our 200-odd people left." Some soldiers sighed.

Three thousand cavalry are wandering around in the south of Tai'an.Four outlying strongholds were harassed in one day.The Tai'an defenders simply ignored the outside world.No matter how much the cavalry make a fuss, they won't come out.

third day.The cavalry entered Laiwu.Although there was no substantial attack, it made people in Tai'an panic.The young marshal was very annoyed.Secretly sent people to follow and prepare to bomb with the air force.
