"How many troops does the opponent have?" Luo Chengxiang asked again.

"The number of people is much older. It is estimated that there are several thousand people."

Luo Chengxiang felt even more uncertain when he heard what my uncle said, so I'd better go and see for myself.

Walking out of the Buddhist hall to the front hall, bypassing the flower wall and bumping into a person head-on, "How do you walk, you don't have eyes!" After Luo Chengxiang cursed, he realized that he didn't recognize the person in front of him.

It can be seen that the military uniform he is wearing is not an officer of the direct line. There are several soldiers with guns behind him, pointing guns at him.

Luo Chengxiang was so frightened that he immediately raised his hand: "Brother, Luo Chengxiang is the magistrate of Zhangbei County. May I ask what you can do when you come here?"

"I'm Zhang Qifeng, deputy head of the Independent Regiment of the Mongolian Peace Corps of the Autonomous Government of the Three Northeast Provinces. I don't have any of you. My brother wants to borrow something from County Magistrate Luo." Zhang Qifeng said to Luo Chengxiang with a smile.

Hearing that he was going to borrow something, Luo Chengxiang was so frightened that he fell to the ground, "Leave me, Commander Zhang. There is a 70-year-old mother on the villain Zhang, and a three-year-old child. I hope Commander Zhang will spare the life of this villain. I will die for Captain Zhang." Luo Chengxiang kowtowed as he spoke.

Zhang Qifeng didn't expect that the county magistrate would be so virtuous, "County Luo, hurry up, please, what are you doing, brother didn't say to kill you. I want to borrow Zhangbei County from you, and don't want your life. Hurry up." Fuluo county magistrate, get up."

Two soldiers behind Zhang Qifeng helped Luo Chengxiang up, "Are you sure you won't kill me?"

"Not to kill." Zhang Qifeng laughed.

"Leader Zhang, please come in, I'll have someone make tea and water for you." When Luo Chengxiang heard that Zhang Qifeng didn't want to kill him, he regained his spirits and hurriedly let Zhang Qifeng into the room.

"Who, come out!" A soldier pointed to the flower bed and said.

Luo Chengxiang's brother-in-law came out of the flower bed tremblingly. It turned out that when he saw Zhang Qifeng and others just now, he hid in the flower bed.

"What are you doing standing there, bastard? Why don't you hurry up and ask someone to make tea and water!" Luo Chengxiang kicked his brother-in-law's leg.

"This is my incompetent brother-in-law." Luo Chengxiang said with a smile.

Everyone came to the house, "County Luo, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. I am neither drinking tea nor drinking here. You have two choices now. One is to cooperate with us obediently. In the future, the commander-in-chief will win the battle. You may not be credited for it." If you can't be promoted, the second choice is to die for the country. You choose." Zhang Qifeng slapped the gun on the table as soon as he sat down and said.

"Teacher Zhang, my brother is willing to submit to Marshal Zhang. If Commander Zhang gives orders in the future, he will die." Luo Chengxiang quickly stood up to show his attitude.

"Since Magistrate Luo is knowledgeable about current affairs, I won't say much, you guys will be responsible for protecting County Magistrate Luo's safety after ** and Zhang Sheng!" Zhang Qifeng said to the two soldiers of the security squad who followed.

"Yes!" The two saluted.

"I will trouble the two little brothers in the future." Luo Chengxiang cupped his hands at the two of them.

"County Luo, our commander will go to the city tomorrow morning, I hope you can arrange it properly." Zhang Qifeng said to County Mayor Luo.

"Regimental Commander Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it properly." Luo Chengxiang immediately responded when he heard that the commander was coming.

The next morning, the entire Zhangbei County was under martial law. Soldiers in military uniforms stood everywhere on the road, and temporarily mobilized people stood on both sides of the main road in the county as enthusiastic people.

On the wall by the side of the road, there are also stickers such as:

Welcome Commander Zhang to Zhangbei County.

Warmly welcome the Mongolian appeasement army stationed in Zhangbei County and other slogans.

When Zhang Anle was about to arrive at the county town with his troops, he heard the sound of gongs and drums in front of him. Could it be that someone is having a happy event today?

"Xiaozhu, go over and ask what's going on." Zhang Anle called Wang Xiaozhu and ordered.

Wang Xiaozhu led the troops to go, and Zhang Anle asked the troops to stop for a while.Last night when the reconnaissance troops came back, they explained everything about the terrain. The troops had already been stationed in battalions. Only the infantry of the Independent Regiment of the Peace Corps was stationed in the county town, and the cavalry was still stationed in the camp. A support force that can be used as a back, this is the most mobile force in the appeasement army.

After a while, Kung Fu Wang Xiaozhu came back to report: "In front of the report to the commander, Luo Chengxiang, the magistrate of Zhangbei County, brought the squires to welcome the commander into the city."

Zhang Anle was amused when he heard it, "I didn't expect that County Magistrate Luo is a sensible person, let's go and have a look."

Luo Chengxiang led a group of gentry to welcome Commander Zhang by beating gongs and drums for several miles. Not long after Commander Zhang's guards left, several big horses dared to come over.

At first glance, Luo Chengxiang saw a tall man who was nearly 6 feet tall at the head. One of the two behind him was Commander Zhang's bodyguard he had seen, and the other was a man in his 40s who didn't know what his identity was.

The three got off their horses, and the tall young man walked up to Luo Chengxiang, "You must be Luo Chengxiang, the magistrate of Zhangbei County. My name is Zhang Anle, and I am the commander of the Mongolian Peace Corps."

"My humble servant is Luo Chengxiang who met Commander Zhang. I didn't expect Commander Zhang to be so young." Luo Chengxiang greeted Zhang Anle.

"County Luo is too polite. Anle should not have come here uninvited this time. You still go out of the city to greet him. Anle is ashamed." Zhang Anle and Luo Chengxiang said politely.

"Commander Zhang is too polite, this is the job of a subordinate official." The thick-skinned Luo Chengxiang said.

"Magistrate Naluo is leading the way, so let's go into the city right now?" Zhang Anle said with a smile.

"Okay, the gongs and drums are beating, and Commander Zhang is welcome to enter the city." Luo Chengxiang ordered to lead the way ahead.

Entering the county town, Zhang Anle was even more speechless to Luo Chengxiang when he saw the warm-hearted people lining the road to welcome him.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong along the way, and a group of people came to the largest restaurant in the county seat. County Magistrate Luo had already arranged a reception banquet for Zhang Anle.

At the reception banquet, Zhang Anle conveyed the order of Marshal Zhang, and at the same time assured the squires that he would not disturb the people, and welcome all squires to supervise. These are all polite words.

After eating and drinking, Luo Chengxiang settled Zhang Anle in the county government office, and Zhang Anle settled down in Zhangbei County with peace of mind.

Chapter 26 is all fooling around

On the 15th, Zhang Zuolin issued a personnel order for the 7 armies, and organized the Feng army into 7 armies to attack the Zhijun.The chief and deputy commanders of the First Army are Jiang Dengxuan and Han Linchun, the chief and deputy commanders of the Second Army are Li Jinglin and Zhang Zongchang, the chief and deputy commanders of the Third Army are Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling, and the chief and deputy commanders of the Fourth Army are Zhang Zuoxiang and Ji Jinchun. , the chief and deputy commanders of the Fifth Army are Wu Junsheng and Kan Chaoxi, and the chief and deputy commanders of the Sixth Army are Xu Lanzhou and Wu Guangxin.The positive and negative commanders of the Seventh Army are Zhang Anle, **.Zhang Zuolin served as the commander-in-chief, and Yang Yuting served as the general staff.

The deployment of the Feng army is: the first and third combined armies will be composed of the first army and the third army, and they will attack Shanhaiguan. After defeating the main force of the direct army at Shanhaiguan, they will attack Beijing and Tianjin.

The main task of the Second Army was to attack Rehe South Road. Among them, Li Jinglin's first division attacked Chaoyang after gathering in Yixian County; Zhang Zongchang's new first division assembled near Dayaogou and attacked Rehe, coordinating with Li Jinglin's troops After conquering Chaoyang, they joined forces and marched westward, occupying Jianping, Chengde, Lingyuan and other places one after another, and then joined the first and third coalition forces in a decisive battle with the Zhi army in Shanhaiguan.

The Fourth Army was assembled in Xingcheng and Suizhong as the general reserve.Another part of the troops, about one regiment or one brigade, will gather near Jinzhou and wait for orders.

The main force of the Fifth Army was assembled in places with convenient transportation ahead, waiting to be dispatched, and some troops stayed in key areas of Heilongjiang to consolidate the rear.

The Sixth Army, with cavalry as the main force, assembled in Zhangwu, then attacked Chifeng via Fuxin and Jianping, and entered the Great Wall from Xifengkou or Gubeikou according to the situation, threatening the straight army's back.

The Seventh Army occupied the important positions of Suiyuan and Chahar to contain the Zhijun troops and took strict precautions against Yan Xishan.

Zhang Zongchang was happy and worried when he received Zhang Zuolin's telegram.The joy is that the army finally has a battle, and I don't have to worry about being disarmed all day long. The worry is how much of the team I finally pulled together will be left in this war.Since Zhang Anle's troops were transferred away from the New First Division, Zhang Zuolin has not replenished the troops. Although the designation is the New First Division, it is still a brigade of troops.

Wu Peifu deployed two front armies in Rehe, with a total of tens of thousands of people.Faced with such a strong force, Zhang Zongchang has no confidence at all. The coach has such a mentality, let alone the soldiers.

Before setting off, many soldiers prepared some Japanese golden tickets. In case of defeat in the war, they would take the train to Dalian, and then go south by sea ship to go home.At that time, the train had to pass through Nanman, and both the train from Nanman and the ocean liner from Dalian required Japanese gold tickets.

Zhang Zongchang said to Chen Jie, his staff officer, "If we win this war, it is of course nothing to say, but if we lose, Fengtian will not support idlers. If that happens, we will find a mountain and stand on our own as kings."

Chen Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiao Shuai is too worried, even if we really lose, the big deal is to go to Mongolia to join Xiao Shuai." Xiao Shuai is the name Zhang Zongchang's subordinates call Zhang Anle.

Zhang Zongchang curled his lips, "That's so embarrassing. If you lose the battle and go to your son, it's better to find a mountain and fall into the grass by yourself."

Even so, the war still had to be fought. At the pre-war mobilization meeting, Zhang Zongchang said to the soldiers, "Everyone, don't think too much. The war is not once or twice. What are you afraid of! He Feng Yuxiang is not superhuman, if he can't, I will take you Go to Mongolia to find my son, and keep everyone eating! I promise everyone, after this battle is over, each person will be paid 20 yuan!"

Zhang Zongchang's words reassured the soldiers below, and hearing that the leaders of Dayang were all in high spirits, wishing they could finish the battle and collect their money now.
