Chapter 156 Carve up the grassland
The puppet and Mongolian army, sold by the Japanese army, did not have the courage to fight. Almost as soon as they saw Yang Feng's convoy, they immediately knelt aside. Of course, Yang Feng was not interested in paying attention to them. The 29th Army didn't want to offend the Kwantung Army too much. After all, both sides had to be neighbors for at least many years, but this guy didn't have such concerns.
Ten self-propelled artillery and more than two hundred armed jeeps, a huge convoy followed the Japanese army and finally bit it in Dalibo at dawn. On this flat grassland, the horse-wranglers' mobility was not much worse than that of horses. The convoy originally lined up in columns immediately changed its formation like a charger's cavalry, quickly spreading its wings to encircle it. At the same time, the on-board machine guns began to spew flames at the Japanese army.
The Japanese army's combat quality was naturally not comparable to that of the puppet army. The brigade at the end immediately stopped to defend on the spot, and various weapons fired and fought back at the same time. At the same time, the main force did not hesitate at all and continued to retreat towards the direction of Jingpan.
Yang Feng's convoy immediately separated, and bypassed the blocking Japanese army in a large circle from the two wings, continuing to pursue the main force of the Japanese army. The ten self-propelled artillery rushed straight to the front of the Japanese army. In order to withdraw the monkey shed as soon as possible, the Japanese army had discarded all heavy weapons. Now the strongest in their hands is the heavy machine gun. The thickness of the 2c3 armor is no less than the heavy tanks at this time. Bullets cannot cause any damage to them, but they can easily abuse the infantry.
Ten self-propelled cannons lined up, the car-mounted machine guns spit out their flames, and their heavy bodies slammed the grassland, crashing into the Japanese defense line with the aura of prehistoric monsters. At this time, any defense had lost its meaning. Even the Japanese soldiers, who were known as the strongest, inevitably collapsed, and they shouted in panic and fled in panic.
At the same time, the high-speed jeep convoy had already caught up with the main force of the Japanese army. This time they learned their lesson and no longer set up a formation to attack. Instead, they were like lions attacking migrating wildebeests on the African grasslands, following the Japanese retreat, and constantly attacking them with their speed and range advantages.
Inaba was almost driven crazy by these little jeeps. His subordinates had no weapon to fight against the m2 machine guns at range. Similarly, the cavalry could not compare with the little jeep in terms of speed. Even if they wanted to rush up and die together, they would have no chance. From these annoying things, he left the body of a nearly brigade of corpses in just a few dozen kilometers. In addition to the brigade who had cut off his arm, he had to pay at least one-quarter of the casualties for this retreat.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, you can't go on like this anymore. There is at least two hours away from the sermon shed. If you continue like this, we will have to lose at least one corps!" The chief of staff said with a sad look on his face. He had just received the news. His younger brother was shot in half by a 12.7mm bullet, but now is not the time to be sad. If you continue like this, you may have to follow Jiro's footsteps at any time.
"Disperse, order the troops not to maintain their ranks, all of them scatter, discard all unnecessary things, and retreat to the cemetery shed as quickly as possible!" Inaba suddenly discovered the reason for his huge losses. Even if the disciplined Japanese army escaped, they maintained the military appearance of the emperors to the greatest extent, and they still lined up in neat ranks. This was simply the best target for large-caliber machine guns.
His order saved his troops to the greatest extent, but it also turned the retreat into a real defeat. On the empty grassland, the Japanese army completely turned into a flock of scattered sheep. Nearly 8,000 people rushed east alone and helplessly. From time to time, some people were torn apart by bullets behind them, and some even chose to surrender, but no one accepted their surrender. This was a war that could not be participated by the Japanese army, and neither side would leave prisoners. The surrendered Japanese army was beaten to death without mercy.
The jeep convoy kept driving the Japanese army into Rehe, and then turned around and rushed back. The brigade blocked behind could not be let go. There were less than 500 Japanese troops now. They knew that they could not return to their hometown no matter what, so they simply retreated to a settlement site that Sun Dianying's troops abandoned last time. With the original fortifications here, they were preparing to fight to the point of the time.
However, Yang Feng was not interested in attacking for a strong attack. He didn't have to let the soldiers fill in their lives with his cannons. In his opinion, it was only a fool. The soldiers of the security division had insurance. He had to pay thousands of dollars to die for his insurance company. If he had enough money to operate, he could change to a self-propelled cannon.
So ten 2c3s directly smashed all the more than 300 152mm shells they carried at the settlement site, bombing the Japanese army in a squadron without leaving any scum.
"Calculate the results of the battle, and our casualties!" Yang Feng, holding a scepter, said to the staff beside him while watching the bombardment of the Japanese army with great enthusiasm.
The results of the battle were not easy to clean up. The grassland was full of Japanese corpses, and some were still gnawed by wild wolves. However, even if these were included, at least two thousand people would have to be killed. The security guard's casualties were insignificant. A total of three Wranglers were lost, five and six were injured. They were all caused by accidental break-ups. After all, no matter how good the quality of the car was, there would be problems.
Yang Feng looked down on the materials discarded by the Japanese army, and finally took advantage of Sun Dianying. This guy can be said to have a great harvest this time. The prisoners alone captured more than 7,000 guns and more than 10,000 of them. Although he no longer needs to cover the 38th lunar month, some of the other warlords like this thing.
The northern line has been cleaned up, and it is now the southern line. Sun Dianying left a division to guard near Dalibo, and all the remaining men turned to the southern line.
Takataro Nakamura was very smart. When he heard that the northern line was almost wiped out, Inaba fled back to the Sudang with less than 6,000 people. He immediately stopped attacking Duolun, and all his troops were retreated back to the territory of Rehe, and then quickly changed back to the Japanese vests and arranged defense lines at the border of Rehe.
The development of the battle situation in the Doron was a bit off guard. When the Japanese retreated from Chahar, the left army had not yet arrived at the De Prince's Mansion, and the 29th Army had just wiped out the Xilingol League. Almost all the princes who followed the De Prince to surrender immediately. However, Song Zheyuan was not prepared to let them go so easily. He was the chairman of Chahar Province. The entire Xilingol League was within his jurisdiction. He was not the final decision on how to play.
"Get all these guys into Zhangjiakou, and then the 29th Army and the 41st Army each set up a division to station the grassland, the 29th Army stationed in Beizi Temple, and the 41st Army stationed in Dalibo. This way, the north and south echoed, and once the Japanese army came out of the sutra shed, they could react immediately." Yang Fengzhen said with a smile.
The Japanese would definitely not give up so much. Anyway, they hid in the territory of Rehe, and neither the 29th Army nor Sun Dianying would be able to take the risk of a war and attack Rehe directly. In this way, the Japanese army would leave whenever they wanted to leave Rehe, and the line of Juanpan must be blocked.
"This is a bit of trouble with material replenishment." Song Zheyuan nodded and said that both places are in the north of the mountain, Dalibo is still close to each other, and Beizi Temple is still in the upper reaches of the Xilin River. Although there is Kuduo Avenue, it is thousands of miles from Zhangjiakou to transport materials, so it is indeed inconvenient to transport materials.
"The grain is simple, and at worst, it's just a matter of reclamation. As for weapons and ammunition, I will be airlifted. You can just build an airport in Beizi Temple. In addition, I will also provide you with some cars, which is enough to solve this problem." Yang Feng said with his chest.
The success of the counterattack made him a little excited, and now he has no mention of any problems.
The Japanese army has been completely driven out of Chahar. Except for a small number of Xing'an troops, most of them surrendered to Sun Dianying. The old bandits are now studying how to deal with them. However, King De ran away, and he fled north with less than a thousand people. Now he can't go back to his hometown. Because the Duolun front line no longer needs help, Zhao Dengyu's cavalry division has turned west to sweep the Sunit second flag. Fu Zuoyi and Ma Hongkui's troops are too slow to move, and they have not arrived at the Dewang Mansion at this time! However, they have already successfully suppressed the Mongols in the Ulanqab League.
"I have a suggestion for these surrendered guys. It is definitely not possible to join the reclaiming army. It would be better to give them to me, and I will send them all to Chongqing to build roads and mines!" Yang Feng said to Sun Dianying. The Xing'an army is mainly Mongolians from various units in Inner Mongolia in the east of the Xing'an army. These families are in the Japanese-controlled area. Staying in Chahar is a big hidden danger. If you send it to faraway Chongqing, you will not have this problem. Just like there are people who need to use railways and coal mines there. First, let them be free coolies for a few years, and then tell them to be formal workers after working for many years. I think these guys won't like the days of licking blood from the knife.
"Okay!" Sun Dianying agreed without hesitation. He had already passed the realm of attracting people to make up for the numbers everywhere. Now he was playing the elite military strategy, so these prisoners naturally looked down on him.
The three of them were studying how to divide the dirt! News came from He Jifeng that King De was caught. He wanted to escape and defect to King Suo of Xiwuzhumuqin's tribe. As a result, he was hit by He Jifeng who was sweeping various divisions halfway. His thousand people who were already scared were able to withstand the beating of an elite division of the 29th Army. After the entire army was wiped out, he had to surrender.
"Fuck! Why didn't he commit suicide?" Yang Feng immediately said speechlessly when he heard the news.
"What's the problem? If Lao He did it, he would just say that he would commit suicide and fulfill his dream of following Genghis Khan." Sun Dianying said unkindly.
"Isn't this good? He is still the leader of the Xilingol League appointed by the National Government. He can be considered a national important member! If he was killed like this, Chairman Jiang would probably be angry." Yang Fengzhen said with a smile.
In fact, Chairman Jiang was already very angry now. Chahar's war ended too quickly, which caught him off guard. Before he could react, the Japanese army was driven back to Rehe. This shocked him and couldn't help but start to think about it.
To be honest, he welcomed the war between Sun Dianying and the Japanese very much. No matter what the result is, he welcomed it. Even if Sun Dianying wins, it will only benefit and not harm him. But now the 29th Army and Sun Dianying join forces make him feel a little uncomfortable. In addition, Fu Zuoyi and Ma Hongkui, this discomfort becomes vigilant. Moreover, none of these guys have communicated with him in advance, which is simply a provocation to him, the boss.
"What exactly does this Yang Feng want to do?" He asked Jiang Xiaoxian with a gloomy face, who was summoned from Peking. He naturally knew who was the one who brought these princes together.
"Yang Feng said before, it seems to be for wool." Jiang Xiaoxian said to his uncle carefully.
"Wool?" The bald man was stunned. He could not imagine that Wool could gather the four princes and dare to fight with the Japanese.
"Yes, Yang Feng is engaged in wool spinning. He can provide a kind of artificial fiber and blend it with wool, which can greatly reduce the price of wool textiles. Only he can provide this fiber. Even foreigners cannot compete with him, but wool must be imported, so he wants to promote his fine-haired breeding sheep on the grassland on a large scale, so he must control the grassland in his own hands." Jiang Xiaoxian quickly explained that he and Yang Feng were also friends, and he really didn't want him to anger the bald man because of this.
"It's that simple?" The bald man still didn't believe it.
"It's nothing strange. It's common for European history to fight for a certain commodity. The Crusades are to simply fight for control of the spice trade." Meiling said with a smile.
She has always had a deep affection for Yang Feng.
"Hmph, you all think that he is too simple. He plans grasslands for wool. So why is he building a factory in Chongqing? Is it profitable? The current price of steel is so cheap, but he invests so much in building a steel factory. This is a very problematic. This person is probably ulterior motives. He should keep a close eye on Yang Feng's whereabouts in the future." The bald man said to Tang Zong, who was standing beside him with a gloomy face.
Of course, Yang Feng didn't know that the bald man had already determined that he had ulterior motives. He was gathering with a group of warlords and bandits to celebrate the achievements! Of course, he was divided into different parts. Although Fu Zuoyi and the others were useless this time, even the old lair of King De was taken by Zhao Dengyu, they were all participants after all. It was not good to not give some rewards. So after Yang Feng's coordination, Sun Dianying took out three thousand 38 large caps, Fu Zuoyi and Ma Hongkui 1,500. Then he gave Ma Hongkui four seizures and 150 mortars used by the Japanese army, so everyone was happy.
Then Sun Dianying and Song Zheyuan formally divided the sphere of influence, using Xilin River and Kuduo Avenue as the dividing line, south of Xilin River and east of Kuduo Avenue to Sun Dianying. His current official identity is the Commander of the Chabei Security Bureau. Although his territory is much less than what the 29th Army got, he got the best grassland, which is very suitable for both settlement and grazing. Besides, he only has so many people under him. It doesn’t matter if the territory is large.
As for the Mongolian princes in their respective jurisdictions, it was easy to get rid of. The little armed forces on these guys were basically in Duolun and had no bargaining qualifications. Song Zheyuan alone gave him a title of Senate of the Chahar Provincial Government, and then drove them all to Zhangjiakou to circle them, and just give them some salary every month and can't starve to death.
"We might as well treat Mongolian herders. After all, they have to graze us. The Han people are definitely not as good as them in this kind of work. Only when they put the sheep well can we make money, right?" Yang Feng said specifically. He has always attached great importance to the issue of harmony.
"This is right. You see, the Chahar tribe is a good example. We just give them a little benefit. These people are already grateful and are willing to help us even in war." Song Zheyuan quickly taught the experience to the others.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether these guys listen or not.
Yang Feng came up with a good idea to see the Mongolians believe in Lama. He and Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying, Fu Zuoyi and Ma Hongkui took their main generals to Bailing Temple by plane. Fu Zuoyi had already asked someone to build a temporary airport, and then a group of people came to worship the living Buddhas together. This greatly reduced the resistance of the herdsmen on the grassland to them.
The matter on the grassland came to an end. In order to prevent the Japanese army from invading again, Sun Dianying's troops began to build a fortress in Dalibo, and at the same time built a road that extended from Kuduo Avenue to the fortress. The cost was still provided by Yang Feng by borrowing money. Anyway, he owed Yang Feng millions of oceans, so he didn't care about owing more.
After returning to Peking, Yang Feng once again shifted his focus to Chongqing. His steel base had completed all designs and was about to enter the construction stage. This guy took Margrit to Chongqing again.
This time, there were more people greeting him at the airport, and even Liu Xiang came in person, but what Yang Feng noticed was one of the lieutenant generals wearing military uniforms in the middle of the yang army, and his age seemed to be about fifty.
"Is this guy?" This guy had actually guessed who he was, but he still asked knowingly.
"This is Director He, the Chairman's Staff Team. Brother Yuanzhang and I are old classmates. This time I heard that Brother Yang, you come here, and I have to come together. He is a celebrity next to the Chairman." Liu Xiang introduced with a smile, reminding Yang Feng that this guy is not in the same group as us.
"Oh, Director He, brother is so stupid. I should have thought it was you." Yang Feng said pretending, and then grabbed He Guoguang's hand tightly as if he had seen his relatives.
"Mr. Yang's name is well known for me." He Guoguang said with a smile. This is an old fox and an old politician.
The group took a boat upstream to the Chaotianmen Wharf, and then went to the Chongqing Municipal Government to praise each other. After drinking and eating, they took a bus to Huangjuping. A three-story building had been built here. The headquarters of Chongqing Iron and Steel Group is temporarily located here. Before Yang Feng arrived, Zhang Xinwu had already taken Wang Ziquan and Han Chushi, as well as a group of engineers hired from Germany to Qijiang Iron Mine, but has not yet come back.
Of course Yang Feng wouldn't mind this.
"But you have to remind Mr. Zhang to be careful. After all, he is almost 60 years old. Just leave this kind of work to others." Yang Feng said to Xiaohui earnestly.
"Boss, you don't know Mr. Zhang. Now he wishes he could eat and live in the mine. He said that he wanted to see China have a real large steel factory for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he can't see hope until now. He is almost sixty now. If he closes his eyes and never gets up again that day, wouldn't that be a lifetime regret?" Xiaohui said with a smile.
"That's not OK, your body is important!" Yang Feng thought to myself that if the old man was exhausted, who would work for me.
"Brother Yang, I know a few steel talents. If you are tight here, you can contact you to see if you can come and help." He Guoguang said with a smile.
"That's very welcome. I wonder where Director He and his friends are now?" Yang Feng said quickly, but he was full of vigilance. He was preparing to mix sand for himself. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
