Previously, Chen Zikun and Zhang Xueliang had a secret telegram, and the two sides agreed that the well water would not violate the river water. The Feng army only attacked Qi Xieyuan. Before the secret agreement was dry, the Feng army brazenly tore up and entered the territory of Jiangdong Province. A bad battle would probably be inevitable.

Zhang Zongchang is a general of the Fengtian Army. Chen Zikun had heard of his name for a long time. It is said that this man is nine feet tall and has great martial arts skills. He was a Chinese police chief in Vladivostok. Even the Russians dared not to buy his account. Later, he gathered in Xiaoshan Forest and had tens of thousands of bandits under him. He was definitely not an idiot. Such a powerful general who came out of the sea of ​​blood was not something that Zhang Pengcheng, Duan Haixiang and others could deal with.

Without further ado, Chen Zikun immediately rushed back to Jiangdong Province to command the battle himself. Time flies and military affairs are urgent. He called Jian Bing and Yao Yilei who lived in the concession, explained the military affairs in Shanghai, and hurried to a clearing ground north of the military camp.

This open space was bought by the secret service group at the local area. After leveling, it was compacted with stone wheels. A small building, a watchtower and an arched hangar were built next to it. Springfield Foreign Company imported a biplane from the American Cargo Curtis Company and had just arrived.

Chen Zikun walked into the hangar quickly and saw three people gathered together to play cards. He couldn't help but feel angry and shouted: "Standing attentive!"

A young man jumped up. It was An Xue, who graduated from the Jiangbei Army Quick Training Academy. He straightened his back and saluted: "Master!"

The other two stood up slowly. One of them was in his forties, with a beard and greasy work pants, with blonde hair like thatch, and the other was in his twenties, with one eyed dragon, one leg was fake, with a cigarette in his mouth, and looked indifferent.

"Did the US Army teach you how to be like this when you meet your superior?" This time Chen Zikun asked in English. He guessed that these two foreigners were pilots and mechanics invited from the United States at a high price.

When the two heard him speak authentic and fluent English, the disdain in their eyes decreased a little, and they barely stood up straight, and saluted softly, "Yes, sir."

Chen Zikun stood attentively and returned the salute, saying, "Your rank and name, I need to take the opportunity to return to Jiangdong. How long will it take for you to take your seat?"

One-eyed dragon said: "I am former captain Pierce Hawke of the United States Army Air Force. He is my mechanic Marrigan. The plane has no test drive, no air fuel, no flight maps, and can't fly until these are solved."

Marigan shrugged, and cooperated to make a helpless position.

Chen Zikun said: "Gentlemen, I will give you an hour. If I can't fly, I will shoot you."

Pierce Hawke widened his remaining eyes and roared in anger: "I only have a mechanic, no one here knows English, no one can help, it is impossible to complete the preparations before takeoff in an hour."

Chen Zikun calmly took off his hat, unbuttoned his cloak and threw it aside and said, "I'll help you."

At this time, Pierce and Marigan saw three golden stars on his military uniform. It turned out that this rampant young man was their employer, General Chen Zikun!

The two foreigners stood attentively and saluted in a regular manner: "Yes, sir!"

With the assistance of Chen Zikun, within an hour, the plane finally completed the preparations before the flight. Chen Zikun changed into a leather flight cap and goggles, covered with a windproof leather jacket, sat in the rear cabin, Pierce climbed into the front cabin, started the plane, took off against the wind, and the Curtis biplane roared and hovered over the Huangpu River.

...

Pierce flew well. Although there was no navigation map, he could fly along the Yangtze River and Huai River under the command of Chen Zikun. The journey of hundreds of miles passed quickly. The plane landed at a temporary airport outside the provincial capital. It was actually a flat open space, with no tower or hangar.

The plane was open-top, and it flew hundreds of miles in the winter, and its face was numb. However, it saved a lot of time. When he arrived at the airport, the guard battalion sent by Yan Su had arrived. Chen Zikun left a platoon of guard planes and took Pierce into the city. When he returned to the Governor's Office, the staff immediately placed a sand table and laid a map to explain the situation to the general.

A brigade of Feng army crossed the provincial border from the northeast and came in full force. He went alone and went deeper ninety miles. Chen Zikun quickly gave instructions, Zhang Pengcheng was on the left, Duan Haixiang was on the right, Gai Longquan was on the center, and Chen Shou brigade was roundabout and surrounded, trying to eat this Feng army unit that underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly.

The generals took the order and led their troops to attack. Chen Zikun was in charge of command in the provincial capital, waiting for the good news.

Yan Su was not idle during this period. The bad foundation left by Sun Kaiqin was almost wiped out. The Jiangdong Provincial Army dismissed more than 20,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, leaving only elite soldiers, and organized three divisions and four mixed brigades. The force was greatly reduced than before, but its combat effectiveness was much improved.

The battle started the next day. A mixed brigade of the Feng army was surrounded by Jiangdong Army on three sides, and guns and cannons were fired. After a whole day of battle, the Jiangdong Army discovered that the combat effectiveness of the Feng army was really not good. If it were another warlord team, they would have been able to surrender after being wrapped in dumplings, but the Feng army could hold on to such a thing.

Three divisions and a brigade of 30,000 troops were fighting against a mere Fengjun brigade, which was like killing a chicken with a ox knife. However, in the early morning of the third day, Chen Zikun was woken up from his sleep.

"Master, the front line reported urgently that Zhang Pengcheng was defeated and whereabouts were gone. The First Division collapsed. The Second Division remained motionless. Gai Longquan was fighting to the death and requesting a rescue." Yan Su came to report the military situation in person, which showed that the situation was not optimistic.

Chen Zikun jumped up: "Ten times the force of troops can actually defeat a brigade. What are these people doing for?"

Yan Su said: "Not blame them, this voyage is not simple, it is Zhang Zongchang's ace, the ** team!"

Chen Zikun gasped. Zhang Zongchang had been in Vladivostok and was proficient in Russian. He had thousands of defeated soldiers from Belarus, including Cossacks and armored vehicles. He was desperate for his life when fighting. He screamed and rushed forward like a beast. No wonder even 30,000 people could not trap them.

"Transfer the order, let Gai Longquan hold me back." Chen Zikun quickly put on his military uniform and put on a hat.

"Master, where are you going?" Yan Su asked.

"I'll take the opportunity to go to the front line to check it out." Chen Zikun said.

The foreign pilot Pierce Hawke was sleeping in a brothel in the provincial capital. When he was drowsy, Chen Zikun took out and said he wanted to go to the front line to investigate. Pierce complained and looked reluctant. He took Chen Zikun to take off at dawn in the cold winter and headed straight to the front line.

The north wind was cold and the air was turbulent. Curtis' plane was swaying in the air. Pierce was happy and looked back from time to time to gloat.

Chen Zikun seemed to be fine, and even shot the cabin and urged: "Fly quickly, I doubt whether you are from the US Army Air Force!"

Pierce shouted, "Why?" The wind blew the white silk scarf around his neck, and the black eye mask under his goggles, which looked both chic and evil.

"Because you're like a sissy when you take off the plane." Chen Zikun said.

Pierce's face sank, pulled the steering rod, the plane turned around and flew forward.

The front line was approaching the provincial capital, and the defense line built by the Third Division of Gai Longquan could be vaguely seen. These bandit soldiers from the bandits would not fight serious battles at all. The so-called defense line was lying on the edge of the frozen ridge, and they were reluctant to dig a trench. There was only one defense line, no depth to speak of, and they would disperse as soon as they rushed.

Chen Zikun came in time, and the Feng army launched an attack. Hundreds of cavalry flocked in. Cossack wore furnished with fur hats and waving his shiny Chashik saber, screaming and galloping forward. The row of cavalry rushing in front actually held three-meter-long spears.

Following the cavalry company were infantry, gray military coats, wool hats, all Mosinnagan water beaded rifles, bayonets and long, and the cold light was shining. They did not run, but walked forward step by step with firm steps, with hot air in their mouths, like small trains.

The machine guns of the Jiangdong Army were fired, and the rifles also started to sound. The horse hooves of the cavalry company hit the frozen soil and made a sound like a drum. Looking at the swirling sabers, the soldiers of the Third Division turned their heads and ran away, and the officers did not stop them. They ran faster than the soldiers.

Both sides discovered planes in the sky, but no one cared. The enemies on the earth were much more important than the big birds in the sky.

"Shoot at those Russians." Chen Zikun ordered.

"No, you, I am a pilot, not a mercenary." Pierce refused firmly.

"Five hundred dollars!" Chen Zikun said.

"General, it seems you don't understand me."

"One thousand dollars!"

"Sir, I don't want to sell my soul for money..."

"One thousand five hundred dollars, no more. If you don't want to do it, you will fire you!" Chen Zikun gritted his teeth.

As soon as Pierce pressed the joystick, the plane dived, and the 7.62mm Lewis machine gun installed on the nose roared, raising a string of smoke and dust on the ground. Suddenly, people shouted that the horse was neighing, and more than a dozen cavalrymen fell to the ground. Many Cossacks took off their rifles and shot at the plane, but the bullets could not catch up at all.

The plane flew back again after a circle, flew over the ground at a very low altitude, and the machine gun roared. Although not many people were killed, the psychological shock caused was huge.

On the ground position, Gai Longquan waved the box cannon and shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid, the iron bird in the sky is ours. We will help you today. We can't let the **she underestimate you. You will rush with me!" After that, he turned over the horse, and the guard raised a Qinglong Yanyue Sword. King Gai raised his toes, took the lead in rushing out with a long sword in his hand, and grabbed the horse's belly.

Seeing that the division commander was so brave, the fleeing soldiers picked up the courage and turned around and fought back. At this time, the artillery also showed its power. One 75 shells landed on the Russians' route of advance, blowing them up.

The reversal of the battlefield situation is often within a moment. Gai Longquan's Third Division is not comparable to ordinary warlords. Bandits can be more willing to go out when fighting. Isn't it just that they are not afraid of death? I am not afraid of death than you.

Gai Longquan took the lead and met the Cossack cavalry with a spear. He dodged to avoid the assassination of the spear and shouted loudly. The Cossack was cut into two sections where the Qinglong Yanyue Sword fell.

Even Cossacks, who were eating raw meat and drinking blood, had never seen such a ruthless character before, they were just mercenaries who worked hard for money and were okay to fight with the wind. When they encountered strong resistance, they would be blind. Several cavalrymen behind them drove away. When the infantry saw thousands of black Chinese soldiers coming over with bayonets, they were frightened and turned around and left. This time they were no longer slow steps, but ran wildly.

Chen Zikun breathed a sigh of relief and patted Pierce's flying hat: "Go back."

When he flew back to the provincial capital, the gasoline had basically been exhausted. Chen Zikun drove back to the city and issued orders to ensure that this ** troops must be surrounded and annihilated, and to eat Zhang Zongchang's elite troops, which made him feel distressed.

Two hours later, war reports came from the front line, surrounding the Fengtian army on the railway line. The enemy relied on the armored vehicles to resist stubbornly, and could not capture it for a while. Several other Russian prisoners were imprisoned, one of them was an officer.

Chen Zikun decided to interrogate the prisoner. When the son came over dejectedly, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Chapter completed!
