    Everyone thought that the army coming from the east must be the 4th Fengjun Division sent by Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang, but no one expected that it turned out to be a miscellaneous army.

    The military discipline does not look very good, and the uniforms are not neat. Some even have all kinds of ribbons and epaulettes that come from unknown places. They are all nondescript and very funny. The weapons are not the imitation Japanese 1912 standard Mauser commonly used by the army.  Rifles are available in Russian, Czech, and Japanese styles. It is no exaggeration to describe them as ¡°Made in All Nations¡±.

    If someone hadn¡¯t called out to the defenders of the Merchant City first, they would have been mistaken for White Russian reinforcements and severely beaten.

    "We are the Northeast Volunteer Army, and our commander, General Zhang Zongchang, wants to talk to General Li Du!"

    If Zhang Hanqing were here, he would laugh till he vomits blood.  The good reputation of the "Northeast Volunteer Army" cannot be ruined by these ruffians.  However, it was indeed called "Northeast Volunteer Army", a name that Zhang Zongchang came up with himself.  Of course, the official name is "Northeast Mixed Brigade."

    This is a team that has made a triumphant return from the front line of suppressing bandits, but ironically its main component is composed of bandits, but they are surrenders.  During the anti-bandit campaign in the Northeast, Zhang Zongchang relied on his extraordinary courage and connections to pull out a team of his own from the faction-ridden Fengjun Army and achieved great success. After the war, Zhang Zuolin personally named him the "Northeast Mixed Brigade"  ".

    This is actually a prank. Normal armies all have numbers. At worst, they are known as Guard Divisions. This "Northeast Mixed Brigade" sounds very cool, but in the eyes of the Feng Faction people, it is actually a superior force.  Not allowed on the countertop.

    The good sources of soldiers have all been selected. They are all regular armies, each with its own subordinates.  There were only the stragglers who had lost their masters and had to surrender, the green forest heroes who did not want to grow crops but were not accepted by the Feng army, the down-and-out descendants of the upper classes of the Mongolian and Manchu people, as well as the old White Russian army, the defeated Czech army, and  The Japanese ronin wandering in the Northeast were united under the banner of Zhang Zongchang and became one.

    It is estimated that only Zhang Zongchang can put this "multi-national force" together, and no branch of the Feng clan likes this force, so Zhang Zongchang has become a father who does not love his mother, and even the military expenses are Zhang Zuolin.  Thinking of Zhang Zongchang's surrender, he looked pitiful and allocated a small amount, so that he could barely guarantee not to starve to death.

    Just when the army was so depressed that it was about to fall, the White Russians were fooled. This was a major opportunity for Zhang Zongchang, who was in a desperate situation. He hurriedly expressed his intention to lead his troops to "suppress the bandits" to Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing.

    At this time, the battlefield situation was that the Northeast garrison was focused on guarding against the Japanese, and there was no extra force to rush for reinforcements. Only Wu Junsheng pulled up a 4th Division to stop them nearby, mainly to prevent the White Russian soldiers from returning to Hailar.  The three divisions in the pass cannot quench their thirst nearby, and the main force of Zhang Hanqing's Northwest People's Army is also located in Shaanxi and Gansu.  Under this circumstance, Zhang Hanqing responded to Zhang Zuolin's message and agreed to join the "Northeast Mixed Brigade".

    It¡¯s not that the Northwest People¡¯s Army is not strong, but that in the face of the extremely mobile ¡°Asian Cavalry Division¡±, the few insufficiently powerful People¡¯s Army in Mongolia are not enough to eliminate its threat.  It is very difficult to encircle and annihilate a cavalry unit without three or five times the strength, because the opponent can gather their fists to attack one of their own at any time.

    Moreover, Zhang Hanqing is also worried that this White Russian army will penetrate deep into western Inner Mongolia - from a strategic analysis point of view, it is very possible, because if the defense zone is drawn along the line from Merchant City to Kulun to Guisui,  To the east of this line is the advantageous encirclement of the Fengjun and People's Army. The survival rate is not high. On the contrary, the vast western Mongolia has a larger scope of activities.

    It is a huge project to encircle and suppress the Belarusian army in this desolate land that is almost as large as the Northeast.  The White Russian army is cold-resistant by nature, but the Chinese army is weak; cavalry supplies can be obtained locally and cannot really trap them.  Another strategic concern is that along western Inner Mongolia, there may be opportunities to harass Xinjiang, Ningxia, and Gansu, which would cause trouble for the People's Army's strategic layout of stabilizing the northwest.

    "What no one, including Zhang Hanqing, expected was that Zhang Zongchang's "Northeast Independent Brigade" actually helped him solve this big problem.  Of course, no one thinks highly of them now.

    At least that¡¯s what Li Du thought.  He was originally under Wu Junsheng, so he naturally knew who Zhang Zongchang was. He was an expert in suppressing bandits and a master in causing harm to the local area.  Speaking of which, the conferment of several big bandit leaders in Jilin, especially the conferment of Lu Yonggui and the capture of Gao Shixiu, was due to Zhang Zongchang's pioneering work. This was clearly rewarded by the bandit suppression headquarters of the three eastern provinces at that time, and he almost actually conferred the "system"  He held the position of "internal affairs", but a good hand was ruined by himself.

    The matter also comes back to the banquet where there was a strange combination of circumstances.

    The suppression of the bandits was basically successful, Zhang Zuolin planned toMyself, why should we have the same meaning as colleagues?  Although he seemed to have won the battle, he knew that he had taken advantage of the location.  If they hadn't waited for work and had the advantage of the city, and planned to ambush the opponent's cavalry artillery, but the opponent was only good at maneuvering, their own men and horses would not be able to defeat them no matter what.  Only after fighting against each other did we know that the Belarusian bandit army is still very powerful in combat.

    "Brigadier Zhang, don't take it lightly. The combat effectiveness of the Belarusian army's individual soldiers is comparable to that of the 27th Division Cavalry Regiment. I think Brigadier Zhang's troops are all cavalry, and a head-on confrontation with them will be a fierce battle. I'd better rest first and wait for the Marshal's latest update."  Please give me your instructions, the two cavalry divisions from the northwest will arrive soon."

    "The military situation is like a raging fire, so there will be no delay. Let the brothers eat first, and we will pursue them immediately. We must win with one blow!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
