"What about our Dilan Division?" Cao Kun asked.

"If there is nothing wrong, you can stay behind." Zhang Yi said to Cao Kun. Wu Peifu, who was beside Cao Kun, said: "How can this work? We are for the coalition forces, so we must work together. Please allow Brigade Commander Zhang to allow me to lead a brigade to cross the river with the surrounding troops."

"Yes, we are part of the coalition forces, so we naturally have to contribute." Cao Kun echoed, not for Wu Peifu's own decision.

"If you insist on participating, there's no problem."

"Then I'll make sure to go when I can set off, and I'll make the following preparations."

"Down at 8 o'clock, and there is still an hour to prepare."

Wu Peifu returned to the military camp and immediately summoned the Sixth Brigade. As soon as the night battle ended, many Beiyang soldiers were still sleeping, but they were called out in confusion.

After the assembly, Wu Peifu announced today's combat mission.

The Beiyang soldiers below complained, but they were quickly suppressed by Wu Peifu, who still had a high prestige in the army.

The Beiyang soldiers felt full of strength these days. After all, eating canned beef every day and those nutritious canned foods is not a problem in terms of physical strength.

The gathered 6th Brigade of the Beiyang Army soon joined the third and fourth mixed brigades who were going to cross the river to surround the Feng army and then marched northward.

The Gou River is relatively long, but the river is not as spacious as the Shi River. The Fengtian army was beaten and lost so many people, so it was obviously impossible to block the entire Gou River.

If a few people are lined up in a row, one person in ten meters may block the entire Dog River.

But that obviously has no effect.

The Fengtian army, who has seen the combat effectiveness of the East China Army, is looking for death now to attack. The cannons are not as good as others, and the weapons of individual soldiers are very different. Leaving the fortifications, they can only seek death.

Wu Peifu was simply suffering with the Third Mixed Brigade and the Fourth Mixed Travel Army. These two brigades are mechanized troops, so the marching speed is naturally the same as the same word!

His Sixth Brigade could not catch up at all. When Wu Peifu saw that he could not catch up, he simply stopped chasing him. Through the Dog River, Wu Peifu went directly to Fengtian City through the floating bridge set up by the engineers of the East China Army.

It would be a big deal to take down Fengtian City, but in order not to annoy the East China Army, Wu Peifu still sent someone to ride a fast horse to inform the East China Army.

The East China Army did not pay attention to who occupied Fengtian City, but the East China Army quickly sent a military police force. Wu Peifu also understood the meaning and ordered that if he entered Fengtian City, he would not be allowed to rob.

One of the treasures of Wu Peifu's army was the butcher's knife. Those who retreated on the battlefield were shot. There were also some requirements in military discipline. However, Wu Peifu did not seek money through war. He did not accumulate land and rent it.

To make a good impression with the East China Autonomous Government, military discipline must be maintained.

After a few days of contact, Wu Peifu knew very well that the East China Army valued military discipline. If the Third Division could not maintain this point, it would be easy to be rejected by the East China Army.

On the other hand, after crossing the Dog River, the Third Mixed Brigade and the Fourth Mixed Brigade were circling the rear of the Fengtian Army at an extremely fast speed. I don’t know whether the Fengtian Army had limited military strength or was too amateur, but I had no idea about the two Mixed Brigades that were circling across the river, and even sent a scout.

If you carefully study the first Zhi-Feng War, you will find that the Fengtian army with more heavy artillery wars were like blind people. They even didn't know where the Zhi-Feng army was, so they fired shells in a row. When Wu Peifu estimated that the Fengtian army's shells were almost over, they immediately launched a charge, and the Fengtian army lost a lot.

Directly opposite the Fengtian Army, most of the soldiers were sleeping, and only a small number of soldiers were sent to the front line, most of whom were snipers.

At the same time, the artillery fired again, pouring shells at the Fengtian army opposite, but the shells were not fired much, and the density was not as strong as last night.

A frontal attack is not a feint at all, it can only be considered harassment!

They were afraid that they would fight too hard on the front and scare the Feng army away, and it would be a bit of a feud to chase them.

However, as soon as the snipers got into battle, they immediately brought great panic to the Fengtian army opposite.

The two armies were separated by a river that was not too wide. When people saw the heads of people, they suddenly saw the heads of people around them blooming and lying on the ground. The panic was very huge.

The Fengtian army was so scared that they all retracted into the trench. Some Fengtian soldiers looked up to see the situation with a lucky mentality, but were shot in the head.

Soon, the Fengtian Army position opposite was beaten so that no one could see it. There were still many messengers coming from time to time, but they were shot to the ground as soon as they ran over.

Facing the sharp gun gun on the other side, the Feng army was even more unstable. They were defeated last night, and the morale of the Feng army had already dropped to freezing point.

And what's worse is that the Fengtian army has no faith to give them the motivation to support it.

Zhang Zuoshuang obviously didn't want to retreat because the Japanese told him that if he retreated at this time, he would not have any intention of defending the Northeast without any fortifications.

If you want to defend the Northeast, you must stick to this line of defense.

For this reason, Zhang Zuoshuang began to train troops again, and even asked people to catch strong men everywhere. However, these strong men had not had time to send them to the battlefield, and the Fengtian army's nightmare came.

After crossing the Dog River, the Third Mixed Brigade and the Fourth Mixed Brigade took only two hours to the Fengtian Army. When the East China Army suddenly appeared behind, Zhang Zuoshuang suddenly realized it.

But it was too late. The Third and Fourth Mixed Brigade approached the Fengtian Army with nearly one division's troops.

The Fengtian army was in chaos, and even the Japanese officers in the army lost their positions and ran away with their heads in their arms. As for guiding Zhang Zuoshuang to fight, there is no need to mention it.

When Zhang Zuoshuang saw the East China Army suddenly appear behind her, she was sweating from her head in cold sweat, and hurriedly led the guards to run away in a panic.

The Fengtian Army suddenly had a chaos, and the first and second mixed brigades on the other side of the river immediately spoke to the other side of the river.

The floating bridge was paved in more than ten minutes, and there was no sign of the Fengtian army on the other side. These Fengtian soldiers collectively ran out of the trench and fled from all directions.

A battle of encirclement and annihilation began quickly, but because there were not too many troops, it was a little unblocked. The Fengtian army collapsed instantly and ran to the mountains and fields. Zhang Zuoshuang and others didn't know where they ran.

The East China Army quickly adjusted its strategy through the radio station, no longer annihilated the Fengtian army by encirclement, but instead drove them in one direction by blocking them.

A brigade of Cao Kun's third Beiyang Division was chasing behind, the first mixed brigade and the second mixed brigade blocked the southeast and northeast directions.

The third mixed brigade and the fourth mixed brigade are blocked in the northwest and are in the north direction to form a straight-tube pocket.

"Surrender and not kill, the East China Army treats prisoners preferential treatment and can pay travel expenses to let you go home..." The large propaganda car was running in the wilderness, and the sound was driven to the maximum.

"Squatting on the ground, holding your head, the East China Army treats prisoners preferentially..."

Those in Fengtian army who could hear the words of the mandarin were squatting on the ground and hugging their heads. Many of the Fengtian army were temporarily pulled out, and these people were also let go if they were arrested. However, the purpose of arresting people was to stabilize the place. If these people scattered to the place and had weapons on their hands, many people would definitely become bandits.

The Battle of Dog River was defeated by the Feng army!

Newspapers from the five East China Autonomous Provinces soon published the news. According to reports from war correspondents, the East China Army suffered extremely minor casualties in this war, with only more than 100 people killed, while the Fengtian Army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and more than 15,000 people were killed.

Such a huge gap shocked the whole country.

The military commanders from all over the country were settled for the time being, and they all sent telegrams to support the central government in separating the military and political affairs.

They don't want to become the second Zhang Zuoshuang.

The news of Gouhe defeating Zhang Zuoshuang reached Beijing as soon as possible. Yuan Shikai called Hangzhou and asked Xia Jun what plans were next.

Yuan Shikai was really scared by Xia Jun, and he was afraid that he would give him another yin just like when he collected the tariffs last time.

Fortunately, Xia Jun seemed to have no interest in the territory of the Northeast this time. He said to Yuan Shikai: "As long as the Northeast opens investment in our East China, it is enough. In other words, our East China Army will leave the four mixed brigades in the Northeast to suppress bandits, and at the same time, it is also good to defend Japan. The central government can dispatch the governor, but I think there is no need to supervise the army, and our East China Army will have no problem in the Northeast."

Leaving the East China Army in the Northeast, Yuan Shikai was still underestimated.

What is this?

Once the fight starts, the East China Army will attack from north to south and Beijing will be attacked from both sides.

However, Yuan Shishu did not dare to object. Through this battle, he completely realized the military gap between the two sides. If he did not garrison, he would not garrison!

At least in this way, the relationship between the two parties will not be damaged. Even if it reaches that step in the future, both parties will have enough room to retain.

Yuan Shikai felt from the beginning that Xia Jun sent four mixed brigades, and so many troops were too exaggerated to deal with Zhang Zuoshuang. At this time, he understood.

However, the central government has gained even greater benefits, because once Zhang Zuoshuang was defeated, the other supervisors would send telegrams to support the central government in separating the military and political affairs, and the central government's power immediately increased a lot.

Yuan Shikai quickly joined the action to rectify the local area.

The battle situation in the northeast is still continuing. Wu Peifu traveled hundreds of miles to Fengtian City on the day of the Battle of Dog River. Shenyang City was already extremely empty at this time. Wu Peifu's 6th Brigade was simply attacked.

The Sixth Brigade entered Fengtian City, and the robbery happened soon.

Wu Peifu was not ruthless at all. He shot the robbery soldiers and quickly suppressed the trend of the Beiyang Army's robbery.

The Beiyang Army also knew that the East China Army would not allow robbery. If they dared to rob, they would not let them go without Wu Peifu, and the East China Army's military police would not let them go.

Fengtian City made Yuan Shikai very happy, but Xia Jun called and said to Yuan Shikai: "The name Fengtian was decided by the Manchus. The name set by the Han people was Shenyang. Yuan Gong ordered the restoration of the Ming Dynasty title."

"Should this be the case." Yuan Shikai agreed to this big thing very readily, and ordered Fengtian City to be renamed Shenyang the next day.

The name of Shenyang was from the Ming Dynasty, while the name of Fengtian City was from the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty once regarded Shenyang as its capital, so it changed Shenyang to Fengtian.

The situation in the Northeast quickly stabilized as Chenyang was conquered. As for Zhang Zuoshuang, from the information, he should have gone to Lushun.

At this time, under the control of Japan, Japan stationed tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Lushun.

Xia Jun ordered the First Mixed Brigade to station in Dalian to block the Japanese army in Lushun on the Liaodong Peninsula and could not be dispatched. At the same time, the Second Mixed Brigade and the Third Mixed Brigade were stationed in Dandong to defend Japan's possible attack from North Korea.

The Fourth Mixed Brigade was responsible for the suppression of bandits in the three northeastern provinces, but this little force was obviously not enough, so Xia Jun once again sent the Sijin Production Corps into the Northeast.

One of these four production corps is stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula, two are stationed on the Dandong area, and the other is scattered in the three provinces to suppress bandits.

In order to protect the Dalian garrison's garrison's security, Xia Jun sent ten submarines to Dalian. After all, Dalian is very likely to be bombarded by the Japanese Navy when a war broke out.

This is extremely unfavorable.

Therefore, the sea control power must be obtained in the Bohai Sea, but the navy's strength is still weak now, so Xia Jun sent the Death God to Dalian.

Zhou Xiulong had to stay in Hangzhou to command the submarine force, so the captain of the Death God was Shi Yaoyun, and Shi Yaoyun was excited about this for a long time.

The Death is the most mysterious submarine of the Navy and the most powerful submarine.

As the situation in the Northeast stabilized, Xia Jun's agricultural reclamation companies turned their attention to the Northeast, which was an agricultural area that had not been developed much, and there were large areas of unowned land there.

Immigration to the Northeast was a period when Zhang Zuoshuang controlled the Northeast. Now Zhang Zuoshuang has been destroyed by Xia Jun, and immigration from the Northeast has not yet begun.

However, there are nearly 10 to 20 million people in the Northeast.

Northeast is suitable for growing crops such as corn, soybeans, and rice. The rice in Northeast China is single-season rice, so the quality is better. However, the ecological environment protection in Northeast China is a problem. Xia Jun will not develop the Great Northern Wilderness, which is a large wetland, and there are a lot of wild animals in it.
