After the Putsmouth negotiations, due to the lengthening of the People's Army's front line and the increase in the need for troops, the Jinzhou Logistics Headquarters was abolished, and all logistics supplies were shipped from Lushun. At the same time, due to the victory of the second anti-encirclement and suppression of the river and lake bases, the East China ** judged that the Qing court could not send troops to the northeast, so he drew all troops from Jinzhou, leaving only two local security regiments formed on the spot in Jinzhou to garrison.

Because the People's Army's front line in the Northeast region is lengthened and its troops are insufficient, local security regiments are set up in some places to recruit local personnel to join the army, train, and maintain local rank. When necessary, they will also participate in the battle of bandits to relieve the People's Army from the heavy tasks of local public security as much as possible. However, compared with the People's Army, the local security regiment has much less fire support force. One regiment has only one machine gun company, a 60 mortar company and an 80 mortar company. There is no direct artillery force, and the force is only more than 2,300 people, and the commanders are all naturalized officers.

Jinzhou Prefecture has two prefectures, two halls and three counties, namely Jinzhou, Yizhou, Jinxi Hall, Panshan Hall, Guangning County, Xingcheng County and Suizhong County. At the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, this place became a strategic place for the two sides to compete for. The famous Battle of Daling River, Ningyuan, and Songjin Battle both took place in this place. However, since Jinzhou was occupied by the People's Army early, the local security regiment was established at the earliest, and it had been more than 10 months and had certain military qualities. Moreover, the People's Army had ruled in Jinzhou for nearly two years. All the surrounding bandit forces were eliminated and local order was completely restored. There was no need to arrange heavy troops in Jinzhou. The two local security regiments were basically enough.

But just three days ago, a group of bandits emerged from there, with about 2,000 people, and they actually captured Fuxin County. In this era, Fuxin County was not under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou Prefecture, but one of the necessary routes to Jinzhou to Inner Mongolia. Therefore, after the People's Army occupied Jinzhou Prefecture, it also took Fuxin County down.

The local security regiment in Jinzhou immediately sent two battalions of about 1,200 troops to rescue. This is also the largest mobile force that Jinzhou can send. They met this bandit near Guangning County and fought against the two sides.

At the beginning, the People's Army did not take the bandits seriously. Although the army had not experienced actual combat, the commander Huang Wei was a veteran of the People's Army. He participated in the entire Far East War and fought the fight against bandits in Shandong and Northeast China. In his opinion, no matter how many bandits were, it was useless. Because of the simple weapons and few tactics, they were just a group of mobs, and they often disperse as soon as they fought, so he was full of confidence in this battle.

At the beginning of the battle, Huang Weida unexpectedly, because the bandit was equipped with very well, at least everyone was equipped with guns, and there were 1 or 2 artillery pieces, so they could even compete with the People's Army.

However, the People's Army has undergone regular training and is not proficient in tactics, but they have rules and regulations. Although the bandits have many guns, they are still a mess and fight on their own without tactics. Moreover, the People's Army has a mortar platoon equipped with 6 60 mortars. Although there are several artillery in the bandit army, they are quite a layman in their use of artillery. Therefore, the People's Army gradually stabilizes its lineup and fully utilizes the firepower of the mortars, and begins to gain the upper hand.

Although the process was a little difficult, if it continued like this, the People's Army would definitely win the battle. However, at this moment, a cavalry came from the flank of the People's Army, with a number of 5,600 people. This was another change that the People's Army had not expected. Although the People's Army also arranged protective forces on its flanks, the opponent was all cavalry, which was too fast, and the People's Army lacked practical experience, so the cavalry finally broke through the flank defense line, causing a total defeat. As a result, the People's Army suffered 211 people in battle, 347 injured, and 358 were reduced in combat, almost close to one-third of the dangerous line.

After the failure, the People's Army had to retreat to Jinzhou to guard the army, and the bandits took advantage of the victory to attack and conquered Guangning County in succession. Xingcheng County caused turmoil in the entire Jinzhou Prefecture. Therefore, the People's Army of Jinzhou Prefecture could only strictly guard other places and issue an emergency to Chenyang, asking for rescue and support.

After receiving the emergency, the Northeast War Zone Command in Chenyang was also very shocked. Unexpectedly, something happened in Jinzhou Prefecture, and the situation was very serious. Although in the previous stage, the People's Army launched a clearance operation, most of the troops were concentrated in the Heilongjiang area and there were not many troops in Liaoning Province, but it was possible to draw 1 or 2 regiments to support Jinzhou Prefecture. However, now, Jinzhou Prefecture is not the only one in Liaoning area that has been attacked, but Siping, Zhangwu, Kangping, Shuangliao and other places have all been attacked by bandits. Although the People's Army has been closely guarded in various places, bandits from all walks of life were defeated by the People's Army and did not cause any losses. Only Jinzhou Prefecture has happened. However, in this way, the War Zone Command did not dare to easily draw troops from other areas, and it would take at least 8-10 days to draw troops from Heilongjiang area, which is obviously too late.

So the headquarters finally decided to transfer Zhang Zuolin's troops stationed in Xinmin Prefecture to support Jinzhou Prefecture, at least stabilize the situation in Jinzhou Prefecture and no longer deteriorate, and then slowly organize troops to support Jinzhou Prefecture.

In the previous stage, Zhang Zuolin's army performed quite well in the bandit suppression operations and was able to respect the military discipline of the People's Army, so it was recognized by the war zone. Therefore, before Qin Zheng left Chenyang, he had made a decision to let Zhang Zuolin's army station in Xinminfu to rest and reorganize it. At the same time, he also gave Zhang Zuolin's army an official number, the 17th Reserve Regiment of the Second Army, appointed Zhang Zuolin as the regiment commander, Zhang Zuolin as the deputy regiment commander, and Sun Liechen as the regiment chief of staff; the 1st Battalion Tang Yulin was appointed as the battalion commander and Wang Liyou was appointed as the deputy battalion commander; Ding Xichun was appointed as the battalion commander and Zhang Haipeng was appointed as the deputy battalion commander; Wu Jun was promoted to battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion, and Zhang Jinghui was appointed as the deputy battalion commander. At the same time, the 17th Reserve Regiment was also allowed to form a cavalry battalion, but there were only two cavalry companies, which was actually half a battalion, with Ji Jinchun as the cavalry battalion commander and Kan Chaoxi as the deputy battalion commander. There was only one machine gun company and one mortar company, with a total force of about 2,700 people.

Although Zhang Zuolin's army claimed to have more than 3,000 people, before surrendering to the East China **, there were only 7,800 people in the real warable force. Because Zhang Zuolin only had so many rifles in his hand, he was supplemented by the People's Army after surrendering to the East China ***. Of course, the rifles given to them were the Russian-made Mosinnagan 1894 rifles seized on the battlefield, but this also expanded the number of warable people of Zhang Zuolin's army to about 1,500 people, and there were sufficient bullets. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Zuolin's army can perform well in the bandit suppression operation. However, Zhang Zuolin's army has not yet awarded a number, military rank, or military post, so it cannot be considered a formal People's Army unit.

Now that Zhang Zuolin's troops have been officially granted numbers and military positions, this is why they have become a formal People's Army unit. Of course, the People's Army will also send military and political personnel to Zhang Zuolin's troops, company-level troops to instructors; battalion-level troops to instructors, and regiment headquarters to send political commissars.

At this time, Zhang Zuolin had just completed the staffing and establishment in Xinminfu. After all, it would be possible to expand from 1,500 people to 2,700 people in a short time. It is not possible to complete it in a short period of time, because it is the machine gun company and mortar company, it must also be able to read, because both machine guns and mortars must understand the operating manuals, sizes, and some maintenance techniques.

However, the weapons of Zhang Zuolin's regiment have not been replaced yet, and the military and political personnel have not been selected well. However, Zhang Zuolin's troops still have certain combat effectiveness and have rich experience in bandit refusing. Moreover, the Xinmin Mansion is not far from Jinzhou Mansion, less than 200 kilometers. If you march in a hurry, you can arrive in 3 or 4 days. Therefore, it is the most suitable choice to transfer Zhang Zuolin's troops to the Jinzhou Mansion at this time.

In addition, since the Jinzhou incident was too short, there was little knowledge about the bandits attacking Jinzhou Prefecture. The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the leader of this bandit was Du Lisan, and the cavalry that participated in the battle was Mongolian cavalry, but it is unknown whether it was Du Lisan's subordinate or companion.

After reading the report, Qin Zheng also fell into deep thought. Xiao Jianjun said, "Du Lisan? I have heard of this person in the past. It seems that he has a good relationship with Zhang Zuolin. It seems that he is a sworn brother. Is it appropriate to send Zhang Zuolin to deal with Du Lisan?"

Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "Those are the contents of storytelling. Du Lisan and Zhang Zuolin have no deep friendship. Of course, it is certain that they know each other. Bi Jing and both came from bandits, so it is impossible for them to have no friendship, but they are both plastic friendships. Moreover, in the old time and space, after being recruited by the Qing court, Zhang Zuolin used the recruitment as bait to lure Du Lisan."

Wang Yunpeng said: "If you say that, you have to let Zhang Zuolin deal with Du Lisan, you will do the right thing. Why don't you let Zhang Zuolin deceive Du Lisan?"

Qin Zheng shook his head again and said, "You can't say that, the times are different, and the overall situation is also different. Even if Zhang Zuolin is asked to deceive Du Lisan, Du Lisan may not be deceived. We have never taken the initiative to recruit bandits. Whether Zhang Zuolin or Feng Linge, they all took the initiative to join us, and we didn't come to join us. Although Zhang Zuolin and Feng Linge were all from Green Forest, they were not pure bandits. They did not occupy the mountains as kings, but existed in the form of local insurance teams, which was equivalent to militia, so they were actually half-official and half-bandits.

However, we have also done some business without capital to rob families, but we have also done a lot of things to maintain local order, protect the country and the people. There are some good reputations among the people. We will accept it if such people come to join us. On the contrary, we rejected those pure bandits, and Du Lisan is a pure bandit. We cannot accept Du Lisan, let alone take the initiative to recruit him. Du Lisan will not believe us. If he really wants to be recruited, he would not do so well this time, and don’t forget that there are Mongolian cavalry to help him. The Mongolian forces are controlled by Russia."

Wang Yunpeng said: "So is Russia supporting Do Lisan?"
