"Zhuoyan, how do you think this road guard army should be organized and how many people will it take?"

"Marshal, the goal of the road guard army is the Middle East Road, and the Middle East Road has three important nodes, that is, Suifenhe in the east, Manzhouli in the west, and Harbin in the middle. On these three points, Russia has a large number of garrisons. It must be taken quickly, and then possible Russian retaliation must be blocked. In addition, sufficient troops must be arranged in Changchun. Once the operation starts, it must be blocked. Possible actions of the Kwantung Army, among which dealing with the Japanese is the top priority!"

"From Suifenhe to Manzhouli, it's a distance of three thousand miles, and it's definitely not easy to grab meat under the noses of two big countries. I'm humble, how many troops do you need to take the Middle East Road and hold it!"

"Marshal, I think at least four brigades are needed, each brigade is equivalent to a reinforced regiment, three brigades are responsible for solving the defenders in Suifenhe, Harbin and Manzhouli, and the other is a reserve team to control Changchun in the first place and provide assistance at any time The other three brigades still have to undertake the task of countering the Japanese army, and the garrisons along the route must also provide sufficient cooperation!"

There are a total of four reinforced regiments. If other auxiliary soldiers are added, the total strength will reach 5000. Moreover, these troops must be well-equipped and powerful. In the army, it is not easy to find how many such troops.

Lao Zhang closed his eyes, thought carefully, and then said: "All Fengtian's troops can't move. Without a strong force to watch, the Japanese will not be honest. The main force of the road guard army was recruited from Jilin. A brigade was transferred from the security division, split into two combat brigades, and then the heavy artillery regiment was divided into two to form two regiments. One regiment was used as a reserve team and equipped with 150mm heavy artillery. In addition, Xiaoliuzi's new The legion will also be handed over to you, and they will also be expanded into a brigade, just as those students in the martial arts hall are about to graduate, this time it will be their graduation exam, whether it is a mule or a horse, it is good to take it out for a walk!"

As the commander-in-chief of one side, Zhang Zuolin has a book in mind, and regaining the Middle East Road is the best way for the Fengjun to break the predicament.And no one except Zhang Tinglan has the ability to do this task.

But once the road guard army is formed, the power in Zhang Tinglan's hands will inevitably report obstacles. If Zhang Zuoxiang is added, Zhang Zuolin will be overwhelmed.Feng Jun's balance was broken, and Lao Zhang had no choice but to push Zhang Xueliang over.Let this young marshal dilute Zhang Tinglan's power.

Zhang Tinglan was also clear in her heart.If he wanted to get back the Middle East Road, he had to be united in the whole army, and he had to accept Lao Zhang's arrangement with pleasure.

"Marshal, if this method is used to form the road guard army, Jilin's defensive strength will be severely weakened. I think we should transfer some veterans from Heilongjiang to Jilin."

"Yeah. This is a good way. Recovering the Middle East Road is the biggest thing for the Fengjun, Zhuo Yan. Let Ling Ge be your chief of staff!"

Lao Zhang pushed Yang Yuting over again, but this was not to limit Zhang Tinglan's power. Lao Zhang also knew that Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan had a close relationship. Lao Zhang sent Yang Yuting here to use his identity to coordinate the three provinces. It is also a disguised way to enhance the authority of the General Staff and better coordinate the armies of the three provinces.

Zhang Tinglan is quite satisfied with this arrangement. After discussing with Lao Zhang, the corresponding work must be carried out quickly. Know the movements of the Russian army, figure out Horvath's family background, and do a good job of targeting accordingly.

After the order was issued, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan returned to Jilin. At the same time, Yang Yuting explained Fengtian's military affairs and hurried over. Sun Anhu and Qin Wei, who had been in charge of the bandit suppression operations, also came to Jilin. In addition, the commander of the sniper force Feng Yongshuang also came to listen to the order.

In addition to them, Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling, Jiang Dengxuan and Li Jinglin were all present. The room was full of people, and the map of the Middle East Road was placed in front of them.

Yang Yuting took the lead and said: "Everyone, according to the commander-in-chief's intention, Fengjun wants to form a road guard army. The goal is to seize control of the Middle East Road in the near future and drive the Russians out. The code name is the Bandit Suppression Army of the Three Eastern Provinces."

These people have all participated in the combat operations against Koryzin, and they are also aware of the situation between China and Russia. Now the Fengjun has made a plan to seize the Middle East Road. If the army dare not give it a try, it would be shameful!

And everyone is very clear about the significance of this incident. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese government has retreated step by step and lost its sovereignty bit by bit. Over the years, it has never taken back any rights.If Feng Jun can take back the Middle East Road this time, it will definitely be a major event that will shock the world, and it will definitely be called a feat. Everyone present can feel the blood surging in their chests, and they unconsciously puffed up their chests.

"This road guard army will consist of four brigades, each with about 3000 people. Qin Wei will be in charge of the East Road Brigade. The main goal is Suifenhe. Start the operation at one point, quickly control Suifenhe generation, and eliminate Russia in the territory. At the same time Block possible Russian reinforcements from the Far East!"

"Humble job, I must go all out to complete the task!"

Yang Yuting nodded, and then continued: "The target of the Central Brigade is Harbin, where the Russians are the most powerful. The governor's residence is also here. Sun Anhu is mainly in charge. Meanwhile, Jiang Dengxuan and Li Jinglin will serve as deputies to help direct the battle."

After two points in a row, only the west direction remained. Zhang Xueliang blushed, and secretly clenched his fists, hoping that this mission would fall on his head.

"Guo Songling is in charge of the West Road Brigade, and the target is Manchuria!" Yang Yuting looked at Zhang Xueliang for the last time, and then said, "Hanqing, this time we are fighting the Russians. It is very dangerous. You stay in the reserve brigade for now!"

"It's because of the great danger that I want to go to the battlefield. I can't hide behind others. I have to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds! Besides, it's not that I have never fought with the Russians. They are nothing special. Our Fengjun can also defeat them." them"

Seeing Zhang Xueliang's objection, Yang Yuting turned his attention to Zhang Tinglan. He and Zhang Tinglan discussed the division of troops together.

"Hanqing, this assignment of tasks is not the final combat order, but the assigned direction, each studying tactics, come up with a suitable training plan, train your soldiers well, and wait for the opportunity to fight. This time may It's still a few months away."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "None of you should take it lightly. This is just a preliminary assignment. You have to train the troops well and get familiar with the enemy's situation. If anyone does not do well, there will be dragons and crouching tigers hidden in our Fengjun. It is possible to replace everyone. This is also the case. Han Qing, you have the opportunity, you can also designate a battle plan, as long as it is ingenious and reasonable, you can also lead the army alone!"

Speaking of this point, Zhang Xueliang could only secretly cheer up.After the assignment meeting was over, everyone acted quickly. Except for Zhang Tinglan who was in charge of the reserve brigade, the other three brigades also pulled up the shelf, enriched the team, replenished weapons and ammunition, and then transferred to the corresponding area to prepare for training.

It has been a year since the Fengjun implemented the militia system, and the local organization is very strong, especially the influx of a large number of immigrants in the customs. These immigrants are mainly young and middle-aged, and many of them have no skills. Apart from coolies, there is nothing else The way to make a living.

Everyone also knows that Fengjun's treatment is quite good, so when they heard that Fengjun was recruiting soldiers, they all flocked to it, and the recruitment sites everywhere were crowded with applicants.All the farms also took action, sending out the best militiamen and letting them join the army.

In this way, missing posts are quickly filled.With enough people and enough weapons, the two arsenals in Fengtian and Jilin have the right to operate.

Fengtian Armory mainly produces bullets and pistols, while the Jilin Armory has greatly improved its production capacity and technical level after the arrival of machinery and equipment. They mainly produce pistols, water rifles, mortars and grenades, etc.

After more than half a month of hard work, the first batch of 82mm mortars was finally finalized and put into production. The other [-]mm mortars were also produced, and the projectile projectile sketched by Zhang Tinglan was also produced.

"At present, we can produce 82 [-]mm mortars and [-] [-]mm mortars per week. Due to the unstable performance of grenades, we have to wait for a while to start production." Xiong Mengyuan introduced the production situation to Zhang Tinglan.

This number is not too small, and more than 100 can be obtained in a month, but Zhang Tinglan has positioned mortars as consumables, that is, the more the better, so he said: "I think the number will increase. It is best to increase it to fifty. The more weapons the better, if you need equipment to be transported from Russia, if you need funds, just come to me. Our trade with Russia is making money every day. So much money, don’t use it to develop military industry , It’s really unreasonable, all in all, you just try your best to produce the weapons well, and don’t worry about anything else!”

After explaining to Xiong Mengyuan, Zhang Tinglan specially found Chen Qiming. Chen Qiming is now in charge of ammunition production, and he was so busy that he lost his head. As soon as we met, he said: "Mr. Zhang, we have already imitated the 150mm shell, but the [-]mm It will take some time, don't worry, it will be done!"

"Well, there is not enough ammunition. Even the best weapon is a fire stick. You are also under great pressure. I have ordered a batch of raw materials from the United States in the name of Russia, and they will be shipped soon. Everyone Safe production!"

Zhang Tinglan had just left the arsenal, and Wang Tieshan sent news that he had already passed Boli with the machinery and equipment, and was about to arrive at Suifenhe.

After Zhang Tinglan heard the news, she felt relieved. The steel factory has finally arrived. Now everything is ready and only Dongfeng is owed! (To be continued..)
