Dozens of kilometers north of Liaozhong, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Brigades of the Zhang family were crossing the river in an orderly manner. Wu Xingquan was riding a tall horse and standing on the riverbank. He watched his troops cross the river with a smile on his face.
Amongst all the warlords, Wu Xingquan was undoubtedly the most experienced in commanding cavalry. Three years ago, the Mongol king colluded with the Japanese to instigate the independence of the Manchurian Empire, but he was heavily injured by Wu Xingquan's troops.
"Milord, there is at most an hour before all the troops can cross the river.”An officer reported.
"After crossing the river, let our brothers rest and recuperate." After daybreak, attack."
Although the target of this attack was his sworn brother, Wu Xingquan would not show mercy either. He had already chosen to stand on Zhang Yuting's side. Naturally, he would not change his course.
"Fifth brother, you can only blame yourself for wanting to be enemies with our brothers. So, don't blame your brother for being ruthless!”Wu Xingquan was very confident in his troops.
Although the two cavalry regiments added up to less than 5,000 people, how could the infantry withstand the powerful assault force of the cavalry?
In a place that Wu Xingquan couldn't see, on the west bank of the Liao River, a few eyes were watching the cavalry cross the river.
"Xiao Li, report back immediately. The Zhang cavalry is crossing the Liao River. There are about five thousand of them and they are expected to attack our army from the north.”a second lieutenant ordered.
"Yes, sir!" A young soldier quietly left. After leaving this place, he mounted his horse and galloped towards the headquarters.
These were the soldiers of the 1st Division's reconnaissance battalion. In order to prevent the Japanese from attacking, Feng Ping had specially sent out the scouts.
As expected, this information caught Feng Ping's attention.
"Is Zhang Yuting trying to use cavalry to attack us? The cavalry was indeed very strong, but they had to be timed. In this era, after the troops were equipped with automatic firepower in large quantities, the cavalry's assault power had been greatly suppressed.”Feng Ping thought to himself.
Several thousand cavalry from the Zhang faction crossed the river and prepared to launch an assault. This was indeed a threat to the Feng faction. But at that time, he was caught off guard. Now that he knew about this situation, he naturally had enough ways to deal with it.
"Order the 2nd Infantry Brigade to immediately set up a defensive line and prepare to defend against the enemies that may appear in the north and northwest.”Feng Ping ordered.
"Yes, Major!"
After receiving the order, the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 1st Division was deployed overnight and began to build fortifications in the north.
Light and heavy machine guns were deployed on the defense line, and barbed wire was also pulled up to prevent the cavalry from charging. Under such circumstances, even if they were attacked by thousands of enemy cavalrymen, they would be able to resist.
Soon after, the scouts of the 1st Division discovered the Japanese army crossing the river in the south.
When Feng Ping heard the news, he immediately ordered the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 1st Division to be deployed.
Before the other three infantry brigades arrived, Feng Ping could only use two infantry brigades to fight the enemy.
However, Feng Ping was not worried. Even if there were only two infantry brigades, defeating the enemy would not be a problem. Furthermore, Feng Ping personally went to the defense line of the 1st Infantry Brigade.
After all, this was their first time fighting against the Japanese. Even if the enemy only had six infantry battalions and six thousand men. However, it was still not to be underestimated.
Even though the 1st Division's daily training had always treated the Japanese Army as their imaginary enemy, they were still not able to do anything. However, the soldiers knew that they were going to start a war with the Japanese, so they were still somewhat worried.
"Humph! Zhang Yuting had gone all out this time. The north side was filled with elite cavalry, while the south side was filled with Japanese. It seems like they want to defeat us in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, this was exactly what I wanted. After dealing with their main force, they would definitely lose this battle.”Feng Ping was full of confidence in the upcoming battle.
"Order the 3rd Infantry Brigade to speed up. We must reach the southern part of the battlefield before noon tomorrow. This time, I'm going to make dumplings out of all these Japanese!”Feng Ping ordered.
"Yes, Major!" Feng Hu immediately went to deliver the order.
This time, the Japanese had sent out six railway defense teams. This was the main force of the Japanese in the northeast. If they could get rid of the Japanese army in one go, it would be a heavy blow to the Japanese forces in the northeast.
Time passed bit by bit, and the night gradually faded. Light once again descended on the world.
In Liaozhong, Zhang Yuting gave the order for a large-scale attack early in the morning. Out of the ten infantry brigades, five of them were unharmed as they attacked Liaozhong.
"Brothers, success or failure depends on this move. We have to launch a fierce attack on the battlefield and pin down Feng Linge's main force. He wanted to buy enough time for his second brother and the Japanese to destroy the Feng forces west of the Liao River!”Zhang Yuting ordered.
"Yes, Marshal!" The generals of the Zhang faction answered one after another.
They were also very clear that this battle was related to the outcome of this war. If he succeeded, he would be able to topple Feng Linge in one fell swoop and send Zhang Yuting to the throne of Fengtian Military Governor.
And if they lost, perhaps Feng Linge would save their lives on account of their past friendship. However, power and wealth would leave them.
People who were used to the benefits of power naturally did not want to lose it. Therefore, they would naturally give it their all in this battle.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The artillery began to roar, and the infantry, with the support of their own artillery, once again launched a fierce attack on the defense line of the Feng family troops in Liaozhong.
After receiving reinforcements, the strength of the Feng faction troops in Liaodong increased greatly.
There were more than 100 75mm field cannons.
Under the fierce bombardment of the cannons, the soldiers of the Zhang faction suffered heavy losses. Many of them were torn into pieces by the artillery shells, and their limbs flew everywhere. The entire battlefield looked very bloody, like a hellish hell.
Zhang Yuting's heart was bleeding as he watched his soldiers bravely charge against the enemy's powerful artillery fire.
"They're all good juniors! It would be great if they could survive. However, their sacrifice was worth it. As long as they could defeat Feng Linge's troops this time, it would be worth it no matter the price!”Zhang Yuting thought to himself.
This time, Zhang Yuting was staking everything on this. In order to defeat Feng Linge, they even worked with the Japanese and betrayed the country. If he still lost like this, what face would he have to continue living?
