Chapter 259 The Controversy of the National Defense Army

In Jinan, the General Headquarters and the Staff Department had a quarrel. Some of the staff thought that at this time, there was no need to care about any agreement or non-agreement.

"Commander-in-Chief, we shouldn't presume any false prestige right now. Our national defense army and Feng army are sworn enemies, and there is no possibility of reconciliation. Since this is the case, we should try our best to eliminate the enemy," Dong Zhen said.

Jia Cai said: "This is of course very good, but once a fight starts, it will inevitably open up a long front. Fengjun retreats into the villages and towns. Do you think our artillery and air force will fight or not? If we don't fight, we will fight with Fengjun relying on light weapons. For an attack, even light weapons can be fatal to the people in the villages and towns, and a single decision may kill thousands of people.”

"Those who do great things should not love the people too much. An early end to this kind of war is the real kindness to the people," Dong Zhen said.

Zhu Yupu didn't speak. In fact, he also advocated taking advantage of the opportunity to attack. After all, Fengjun's strength was more than double that of the National Defense Army, so we should try to eliminate them as much as possible. After all, Fengjun had a huge territory and recovered quickly. A dead camel is bigger than a horse.

"Everyone, stop arguing. This matter is settled. I want to retain the strength of the Fengjun and I have other ideas. Recently, there have been frequent news from the Intelligence Department that the Kwantung Army's increase in troops in Japan has become a foregone conclusion. The Kwantung Army already has [-], and another [-] will increase the number to [-]. The Kwantung Army is much stronger than the Fengjun, and if the Kwantung Army suddenly attacks the Fengjun, it will have a certain chance of winning," Liu Tianling said.

All the staff were speechless for a while. Although the Feng army had many soldiers, it was very scattered. What's more, the Japanese's infiltration of the Feng army in recent years has also been somewhat threatening.

Jia Cai nodded: "So let's let this group of Fengjun go. Presumably, with the commander's IQ, he won't fail to sense the Japanese actions."

Although the matter was controversial, it was suppressed by Liu Tianling. The 1 troops from Liaocheng retreated safely. It took four days to retreat to Dezhou. The Fengjun teamed up with the Cangzhou garrison to build a defense line along Beijing and Tianjin. They fought against the National Defense Army several times. There are also a lot of artillery, but there are only a few self-propelled artillery, more of them are ordinary artillery, the artillery is the same, but the observation equipment is different, their telescopes do not have the function of measuring distance, and can only be judged by the experience of scouts, infantry, Fengjun The infantry use ordinary rifles, which are not as accurate as the Mauser rifles of the National Defense Army. The number of machine guns and heavy machine guns is small. Only the elite troops have submachine guns. Guaranteed one-fifth of the infantry, cavalry, Fengjun cavalry has more cavalry than the National Defense Army, but the number of cavalry in Dezhou and Liaocheng is small. Transferred to the Mongolian grassland, a large number of cavalry has been recruited in the Ordos area, a total of more than [-] people. These cavalry are from Mongolian, Manchu, and Han peoples. Although there is no way to compete with Fengjun's large cavalry, at least they will not be defeated. As for the armored soldiers, Fengjun's armored soldiers are already finished, and the young commander has tossed and folded his wings. Currently, there are only about [-] in Beiping and Fengtian. Moreover, the armor of these tanks is very weak, only equipped with heavy machine guns, and no artillery, that is, no tanks.

Ten days later, Liaocheng and Dezhou were completely occupied by the National Defense Army, and the Fengjun forces no longer existed. Chief Executive Duan Xuewen immediately got busy, setting up the city halls of Dezhou and Liaocheng.

Headquarters, Liu Tianling is leaning on the back of the chair, squinting his eyes and humming. He is in a good mood. Dezhou and Liaocheng have been won, but Shijiazhuang has not been lost.

"Commander-in-Chief, Rizhao has sent a telegram," Ye Feng came in with the telegram.

"Oh, let me have a look," Liu Tianling said as he took the telegram, which was sent by the shipyard. Xu Haifeng said that there was good news. The prototype of the remodeled aircraft carrier had been built, and Liu Tianling went to have a look.

"Good news, Ye Feng, you go and get ready, let's go to Rizhao immediately,"

"Yes," Ye Feng said and immediately went to prepare.

"Wait, change into casual clothes, let's go by train." Isn't the train from Jinan to Rizhao connected? Let's try this old-fashioned narrow-gauge train first to see how it goes.

Liu Tianling dressed up as an ordinary businessman, Ye Feng and Li Yindao pretended to be followers, accompanied by twenty guards and dispersed, Liu Tianling didn't want to disturb the people.

The new railway from Jinan to Rizhao is still under construction. At present, the trains passing through Rizhao are old train tracks, from Jinan to Tai'an to Teng County, to Zaozhuang, and then to Rizhao.

Jinan Railway Station has not been refurbished, it is still the same as when Zhang Zongchang was, but the order has improved a lot. The station management staff with red armbands kept yelling to remind everyone to pay attention to order, and occasionally passengers who littered were fined to pick them up For my own garbage, since it was just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were not many people buying tickets, and there were not long queues at the four windows.

Liu Tianling lowered his hat and said, "Ye Feng, go buy a ticket, the most common hard seat, other people let them buy separately,"

"Yes, do you need a military ID?" Ye Feng asked.

This Ye Feng is good everywhere, but he is used to living in poverty, and he likes to save too much.

Li Yinbiao said: "Go ahead and buy it, the boss will reimburse you for any amount of money."

Active-duty National Defense Army soldiers pay half price for their tickets, but the full price is also very cheap. It’s not much money. It was only after entering the station that Liu Tianling realized that this is really a life.

The aunt with the basket filled with mountain goods, and the peddler with the burden. It wasn’t crowded when buying tickets, but it was crowded when boarding the train. Although the staff at the station tried their best to maintain order, there were still people crowded. Ye Feng bought The most common hard-seat car, Liu Tianling said: "Why are there so many people in this car, and it's not the New Year holidays." An old man next to him said: "Young man, it seems that you are a big man, and you don't take the car often."

"Oh, how did you find out," Liu Tianling asked.

"My son works in Teng County, and I have to help them take care of the house every three to five times. From Jinan to Teng County, more than 500 miles away, it takes four or five transfers by truck. The price is similar, but you have to pay more for food on the way. Right, not to mention that the truck shakes a lot, and everyone doesn't like to ride. Taking the train is good, safe, cheap, and there is free boiled water to drink. A few steamed buns are enough for me on the way."
