Fengxian Jiangshan

"Okay!" A smile finally appeared on Zhang Zuolin's face: "As long as we take down this batch of munitions, we will be able to dominate Fengtian, Duan Zhigui and Feng Delin are not a problem."

As he spoke, Lao Zhang thought about it again, and then said to Zhang Zuoxiang: "Fuchen, I can only rest assured that this important task is entrusted to you. You can choose whatever manpower you need, and I will definitely support it with all my strength!"

"Yuting, for this kind of thing, the most important thing is to keep it secret, and secondly, it must be done quickly, and the weapons and personnel must be well equipped!"

"Well, I will immediately transfer the Independent Brigade out of the city in the name of suppressing the bandits, and you will take care of the rest. Besides, Ting Lan is smart, so let him follow. If there is any emergency, discuss it with Ting Lan !"

After Lao Zhang explained clearly, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan immediately went to select manpower, and learned from Fred that the guard was a Japanese squadron with nearly [-] soldiers.Regardless of the small number of people, most of these Japanese soldiers have experienced the Russo-Japanese War, and they are the most vicious fighters.

If you can't make a quick decision, you are likely to be held back by them, and if you guard the railway line, reinforcements will arrive soon. Not only will the robbery plan fail to succeed, but it will also cause huge losses and unpredictable troubles.Therefore, it is very important to select manpower. First of all, they must have good marksmanship, good obedience, and it is best to be able to drive a carriage.

In addition, the attached weapons must also be the best, light and heavy machine guns, explosives used to blow up the railway, and each soldier must carry enough ammunition, all of which are arranged by Zhang Zuoxiang himself, without any negligence.

The main personnel are selected from the artillery battalion. These soldiers have followed Zhang Zuoxiang for many years and are very effective in fighting in the Feng army.Moreover, after Yang Yuting's training, the quality of the soldiers has been greatly improved. They are no longer the original gangsters, and they start to look like a regular army, so they are the most suitable personnel.

"Zhuoyan, dispatching troops, is there a big move?" Yang Yuting took the initiative to find Zhang Tinglan.

When Zhang Tinglan arranged the robbery, he didn't consider Yang Yuting. Firstly, he had been integrated into the Feng family for a short time, and secondly, subconsciously, Zhang Tinglan included him in the pro-Japanese faction and did not want him to participate.But Yang Yuting asked, Zhang Tinglan also wanted to test it out.

"Mr. Yang, during this period of time you have been training artillery, have you been doubting the origin of the heavy artillery?"

Yang Yuting nodded immediately. Of course he knew that these four cannons were the best field cannons. Even Beiyang didn't have them, and the big powers would not easily export them to China. Lao Zhang must have obtained them by special means.

"My humble words, with all due respect, are these artillery smuggled?"

"It can also be said that this batch of artillery was actually produced by the United States for Tsarist Russia, and then I bribed senior Russian officials to get it. Now another batch of artillery is going to be shipped to Russia via the Middle East Road."

"Are you going to grab arms?" Yang Yuting was stunned. He had heard Zhang Zuolin say that Zhang Tinglan could get artillery. He had thought of many ways, but he never thought about it. , unexpectedly so bold.He dared to break ground on Taishui, but the more crazy he listened, the more tempted Yang Yuting became.

"Zhuoyan, do you think I can do it for you?" Yang Yuting asked with a blushing face.

"Mr. Yang isn't afraid?"

Yang Yuting chuckled: "Of course I'm afraid, but if you want to eat, you can't be afraid of being hot. I'm in charge of artillery training anyway, so let me take care of the four cannons. Yang can't afford to lose that man!"

Zhang Tinglan has been observing carefully, and found that Yang Yuting said these things from the bottom of his heart, so he also planned to let him participate.After all, Zhang Tinglan knew that Yang Yuting would skyrocket sooner or later in the Feng family, and being able to take him to participate in secret operations would undoubtedly enhance the friendship between the two parties.

Moreover, Yang Yuting himself is also a great talent, let him plan together, the action plan will be more effective.So Zhang Tinglan pulled him in without hesitation. Yang Yuting was not only a great talent, but also understood the habits of Japanese soldiers, so with his participation, the action plan became more perfect.

At the same time, a total of [-] elite soldiers were also ready. At this moment, the exact information was transmitted. Five days later, a train full of munitions would pass through Fengtian.

It was time for the action. Just before he was about to leave, Zhang Zuolin secretly came to the barracks. Lao Zhang was most concerned about this action, so he took Zhang Zuoxiang's hand.

"Fuchen, thank you for your hard work. Whether our Fengjun will fly to the sky to be a dragon, or to be a worm on the ground, that's all. Don't worry about it!"

"Yuting, don't worry."

"Seventh Lord, after exchanging the 300 million in Japan, the Fengtian has stabilized. If there is any fluctuation, you can directly discuss it with Wang Yongjiang. He will definitely have a way to deal with it. In addition, I suggest that you make a fuss in Fengtian and investigate with great fanfare. The case of counterfeit currency, while also setting up the drills and training of the troops, attracts the attention of all parties and covers our robbery!"

Zhang Zuolin nodded in agreement again and again. Zhang Zuoxiang quietly led the troops out of the barracks, bypassed Fengtian City, and headed straight to the north. Sun Anhu had already been to Harbin to receive gold, so he was very familiar with the route. He acted as a guide and led the way ahead.Each of the [-] cavalrymen brought two or even three horses, which ensured their physical strength, and they could also carry munitions when they came back. Their actions were like a whirlwind, and they quickly blew towards the north.

After walking for more than three days, they came to Xiaowangzhuang, which was only [-] kilometers away from Changtu. This was the pre-prepared ambush site.The exhausted soldiers rested as soon as possible to recover their strength, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Tinglan and others could not rest.

In another day or so, the military column will pass here, success or failure, it depends on this time!

Chapter 99 Here comes the train

After the soldiers rushed to Xiaowangzhuang, they hid in the woods on both sides of the railway. In September, the mountains were full of red leaves, which was very convenient for hiding.The tired soldiers quickly gnawed a few mouthfuls of dry food, and then fell asleep to regain their strength.

Zhang Tinglan and the others were carefully considering every step of their actions. The robbery was not difficult. The 27th Division, who was born as a bandit, was familiar with the road, but this robbery was a big trouble.

First of all, it is necessary to eliminate the soldiers escorted by Japan, and to stop the reinforcements along the South-Manchuria Railway, and then transport the large number of military fire back to Fengtian without anyone knowing it. The difficulty has increased countless times, and a series of actions must be careful. plan of.

Zhang Tinglan was very fortunate to have brought Yang Yuting in. Without his assistance, it would have been really difficult to complete this task just relying on Zhang Zuoxiang, who was born in a reckless background, and Zhang Tinglan, who was talking on paper.

"Brigade Commander, I divided this operation into three parts. The first part is carjacking. I chose Xiaowangzhuang as the location." Yang Yuting pointed to the map while speaking: "This is just a valley between two mountains. , to facilitate an ambush, I am going to find two soldiers disguised as railway maintenance personnel, and they will warn the train, trick the train to stop, and then launch a sudden attack to get rid of the Japanese soldiers in charge of the escort. The next one alive!"

In fact, Zhang Tinglan planned to blow up the railway at first, but he was worried that the commotion would be too large, causing Russia to abandon the use of the Middle East Road, and the loss outweighed the gain.Therefore, Yang Yuting's method is good, but there is also a problem, that is, the railway is not damaged, and reinforcements may arrive soon, so it must be resolved quickly without any delay.

In addition, there is another problem. The train may stop immediately when it sees a warning, so it is necessary to prepare explosives. If it fails, it will blow up the rails and block the way.

"The second part is to block foreign aid. The Japanese have arranged ten soldiers for every kilometer along the South Manchuria Railway. They are responsible for patrolling and guarding within the [-] kilometers of the appendage along the line. Therefore, we must keep these out of sight At the same time, we need to arrange a team on the periphery to eliminate all the nearby Japanese patrols and prevent them from coming to rescue."

In modern China, wherever the great powers built railways, their influence extended.The land and mines around the railway are all owned by foreign powers, and what is even more terrible is that troops can be stationed along the line.Guarding the railway can not only plunder China's wealth, but also trample and smash China's sovereign dignity.

"We don't need to take action against these Japanese garrisons." Zhang Tinglan said viciously: "I have hired a group of Russians. Many of these guys are veterans of the Russo-Japanese War. They have rich combat experience and are ruthless. These guys I must be very willing to tear the Japanese to pieces, just enough to convince the Japanese that this is the munitions looted by the Russians!"

Zhang Tinglan had told Fred a long time ago that he wanted to buy off various forces in Russia. This was not empty talk.There are more than [-] Russians serving as thugs in the black market in the Far East alone, and many active-duty soldiers directly take weapons to the black market to compete for employment.

This kind of thing seems crazy, but this is the reality of Russia, the war has destroyed the country, everyone is looking for a way to survive, work for the black market, at least the income is good, and they can distribute food, soju, and Meat, so most soldiers flock to it.

Zhang Tinglan also secretly supported several organizations that opposed the tsar, so it was not difficult to get some Russian mercenaries.However, Yang Yuting didn't know the situation in Russia, and when he heard that Zhang Tinglan was able to hire Russians, he immediately felt a huge wave in his heart.

Yang Yuting has been to Japan to study, but the more he has seen in foreign countries, the more he knows the gap between China and the big powers. However, this guy who is much younger than himself has no fear of the majestic Tsarist Russia. He not only wants to rob their arms, Also driving the Russians, which greatly subverted Yang Yuting's concept.

After being shocked, Yang Yuting secretly warned himself that he must never be an enemy of Zhang Tinglan. This guy is really terrifying. He can play with the big powers between applause and applause without a formal official position. It will be even more unimaginable in the future .

"Since Zhuoyan has arranged for the Russians to act as thugs, our pressure will be relieved a lot, but the most critical step is the third step, which is to transport the materials back safely, especially the cannons and the production line. Any mistakes!"

In fact, robbing is relatively easy. The trouble is transportation. After Zhang Tinglan set off, he transferred 27 large carriages from the [-]th Division's car dealership as the main force of transportation.Fifty horse-drawn carriages were borrowed from other merchants and scattered along the route to act as a supplementary force. In addition, Zhang Tinglan brought in two more horse-drawn carriages to transport food and groceries on the surface, but in fact they provided cover.

As the saying goes, the food and grass go first before the army moves, and these carriages have already arrived at the predetermined position and are ready before Zhang Tinglan and the others dispatched.Only Zhang Tinglan, who holds the lifeline of Fengtian's business, can plan an operation of this scale. Otherwise, who can mobilize so many vehicles in a short period of time.

After Zhang Tinglan introduced his preparations to Yang Yuting, Yang Yuting was even more impressed. It can be said that the preparations are already in place, and the rest is how to distribute them to achieve better results. The carts loaded and transported the cannons, machine guns, and the production line. Divide the remaining [-] carts into two roads, one for Inner Mongolia and the other for Jilin, and load some ammunition on them. It is best to drive them by Russians. Then intentionally reveal some flaws, so that the Russian side can be successfully blamed. However, there are still a lot of munitions left, and if they are transported back to Fengtian rashly, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of outsiders!"

Zhang Tinglan looked at the map carefully again, made some calculations in his mind, and then said: "There are several freight stations more than 30 kilometers away. They were all established after the completion of the North Market to facilitate the transportation of Jilin's materials. Some of them can be temporarily hidden. Ammunition, but not for too long!"

"I know another place to go." Sun Anhu also interjected: "There is also a crouching cow mountain near here. It turned out that many bandits were entrenched. Two years ago, I brought troops to exterminate them. I just sent people to investigate, and it is still empty. Well, there are still a few caves in Wo Niu Mountain, which can also hide some less important things."

When Yang Yuting heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Heavy artillery and machinery are the most important, and they must be transported back as soon as possible. Other machine guns and ammunition can be temporarily hidden, and then move like ants, without anyone noticing." Get Fengtian back!"

After the general action plan was finalized, Yang Yuting arranged for scouts to carefully examine the route, measure the distance, and prepare for the retreat after success.

Zhang Tinglan handed Sun Anhu over: "Uncle Anhu, after taking down the ammunition, I will trouble you to do something, send a batch of counterfeit coins and printing machines to a villa in Jilin, and then deliberately leave them behind." Some evidence to lure others to find here."

There must be an explanation for the counterfeit currency case, so we simply pushed it to the Russians. If you have the courage to rob the arms, you will naturally have the courage to print counterfeit currency.In this way, the Japanese would have no excuse to attack, and Sun Anhu nodded in agreement.

All the arrangements are almost done, and the rest depends on when the train arrives.

In September in the Northeast, the nights are already very cold. Spending the night in the mountains and forests is indeed a test of one's physical fitness. Zhang Tinglan really can't stand the cold dew and the fierce mountain wind.

Zhang Zuoxiang handed him a pot of shochu casually: "Let's have a couple of drinks first, warm and warm!"

After drinking the spicy shochu, Zhang Tinglan felt that his esophagus was on fire, and immediately felt a lot better, so he drank two more sips.

Zhang Zuoxiang followed and pointed to the sky: "Ting Lan, do you see that? The moon and stars are gone. The mountain wind at night carries a bit of moisture. I guess it might rain tomorrow!"

"It's raining!" Zhang Tinglan didn't care about the cold anymore: "As long as it rains, all kinds of traces can be covered up. This is God's favor for us!"
