Tu Qianjun didn't say anything, but just listened quietly to Zhang Zongchang's narrative.

"On the 15th, Japanese acting Consul General in Ji Gengichi Nishida found me. He told me that I would send troops to expel the Northern Expedition Army at the cost of Qingdao and Jiaoji Road." Zhang Zongchang looked at Tu Qianjun with a slightly moved face and smiled: "To be honest, I am moved! After all, the Japanese cannot stay in Shandong for a long time. They drove away the Northern Expedition Army and wanted to maintain everything in Shandong. "

As he said that, Zhang Zongchang took out a cigarette and handed it to Tu Qianjun. Tu Qianjun took it solemnly and became angry for Zhang Zongchang. Zhang Zongchang took a sip of the cigarette and then slowly continued. "But then I thought about it. Yuting is called "black hands but not selling the country" in the northeast! Why should I, Zhang Zongchang, be called "stolen from the country"?!" Zhang Zongchang took a sip of the cigarette and said viciously.

But Tu Qianjun thought in his heart: In history, you did betray the entire Jinan. You supported the Japanese military police commander Tian Youwang for 500,000 yuan, and distributed 4,000 bags of flour, 3,000 bags of rice, 10,000 guns, and 200 mobile phone guns, respectively stored in Min'an, Yongfeng Flour Factory and the Qingxi Foreign Affairs Bureau of Weijiu Road. You even ordered Tian Youwang and Jiang Huan, who was once the director of Qingdao Smoking Notice Bureau, to assist the Japanese army in occupying Jinan, prevent the national army from advancing north and south, and to wait for the opportunity to be your internal support for returning to Jinan.

Because of your inducement of wolves into the house, the Japanese army took over the defense of the commercial port without any scruples, which also triggered the subsequent May 3rd tragedy in Jinan!

"I thought about it for a long time, I can't defend Jinan anymore. But your Zhonggong Town can indeed become a nail that firmly nails the Northern Expedition Army!" Zhang Zongchang looked at Tu Qianjun and said slowly: "So I decided to give 300 boxes of medicines, 500 mobile machine guns, 6,000 bags of flour, 5,000 bags of rice, plus ten heavy artillery pieces, 100 machine guns, and 100,000 rounds of bullets to you! There is only one request: You nail the Northern Expedition Army to this Jinan City!"

Tu Qianjun nodded slowly when he heard this. It seemed that Zhang Zongchang had made up his mind! He refused to give the Japanese any more benefits and was unwilling to give the Northern Expedition Army a favor, so he allocated so much materials to nail the Jinan City. As long as he could defend Zhonggong Town, the Northern Expedition Army would not dare to go north with confidence. Because once they lacked their troops, they would swallow Jinan City in one breath, resulting in their enemies on the back. As long as they could nail the Jinan City, they would reduce the pressure on the Anguo Army to the entire battle situation.

"I will refuse the Japanese side, and there will not be many people who stay." Zhang Zongchang smiled and said, "I asked Nekayev, and he told me that even if he commanded all of my Lu army to go together, he would not be sure to take down your position. At most, it would be a siege." After hearing Zhang Zongchang's words, Tu Qianjun grinned.

Since I came to Zhonggong Town, I have almost all built permanent fortifications. In a few months, the trenches I dug deep into and almost all the battlefield command posts were spared no effort to paste them with cement! Before coming here, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Zhengzhi actually sent back the four engineering graduates they dug out. So with these four major engineering students, Tu Qianjun's Fourth Bulletin construction of field fortifications is even more powerful!

Even the fierce Tu Qianjun marked all the artillery fired the entire area around his defense and in Jinan City. The artillery had defense fortifications at all positions. After being pushed out, it was taken back to cover the fortifications.

The other defensive positions built by the pirate tunnels, combat tunnels, military garrison tunnels, ammunition and drug tunnels, traffic tunnels, etc. are enough to make any troops who have always asked for wildfire drink! Those submachine guns and light and heavy machine guns have also been assigned to the front-line trenches, and even the wells Tu Qianjun dug more than twenty holes in the town! In the hoarding of grain, ammunition, and wounding medicine, Tu Qianjun even felt that even if he had a carpet bomb for him in this era without missiles, he could get through it with those fortifications!

Maybe he could still fight a Shangganling-style battle. Nekayev was probably a veteran who had participated in World War I. He saw that he had built these fortifications for several months in a row, but the new Northern Expedition Army would probably suffer a great loss as soon as he got started! Maybe how many people would have to be left behind to know how powerful this formation was.

"What I want to know is whether you are sure to defend this Jinan City?!" Zhang Zongchang suddenly looked at Tu Qianjun slowly and said with a burning look.

"No." Tu Qianjun did not say anything big, but shook his head. But then he said, "But if the Northern Expedition Army comes, I can make them unable to live without this Jinan City! Even if they want to eat me, they will have to shed three kilograms of blood!" Listening to Tu Qianjun's words, Zhang Zongchang was stunned at first and then laughed!

He patted Tu Qianjun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go back and prepare! I'm going to retreat too, I'll leave that Belarusian army to you. I'll let Nekayev take their people to find you." Tu Qianjun was stunned when he heard this! Did he know that this Belarusian army is my ace in Zhang Zongchang's hands! The positions that cannot be taken down were taken down by this army, and the hillsides that cannot be captured were also captured by this army! How could he be willing to hand over this army to himself?!

"I'm almost a dog of a family now, and I can't afford to raise this army." As if seeing Tu Qianjun's doubts, Zhang Zongchang smiled and said, "It's too wasteful to disband them, so they can't be cruel. Just let them fight for a way out with you! If you can make a breakthrough this time, you will have a seat in the Anguo Army. At least you can take good care of them, which is a complete relationship that has been with me for so many years."

Tu Qianjun sighed inwardly that the unofficial history said that Zhang Zongchang valued friendship is true! You should know that Zhang Zongchang of this army had never thought of using them as cannon fodder even when he was defeated. In the end, these Belarusians were disbanded after Zhang Zongchang fled to Japan. However, few of them ended up well. Without Zhang Zongchang, their backer, they were mostly killed.

As he said that, Zhang Zongchang waved his hand and asked Tu Qianjun to retreat on his own. Tu Qianjun didn't say much, and after saluting Zhang Zongchang, he withdrew from the study. Nekayev was already waiting for him outside the study. Seeing Tu Qianjun come out, Nekayev greeted a Russian military salute in awe, loudly speaking in standard Chinese.

"Nekayev, the commander of the Belarus Army of Zhilu Alliance, reported to the commander!" Tu Qianjun looked at Nekayev, who was standing attentively saluting him, and replied with a military salute, saying, "Come with me! But I want to tell you, following me is not as relaxed as following Commander Zhang Zongchang." Nekayev smiled and said, "I used to be a professional soldier, and even when I was under Commander Zhang, I never stopped training. However, the military discipline is a little loose."

Tu Qianjun nodded after hearing this, then patted Nekayev's shoulder and walked out of Zhang Zongchang's mansion. Outside Zhang Zongchang's mansion, the Belarusian army had already gathered, pulled their weapons and the supplies that Zhang Zongchang allocated to Tu Qianjun, and the weapons slowly returned to Zhonggong Town.

When Tu Qianjun saw the list of ordnance given to him by Zhang Zongchang, he couldn't help but breathe! Ten Japanese 38 150mm howitzers, one hundred Japanese 11-year light machine guns, ten 13-year heavy machine guns, and five hundred American 1921 Thomson submachine guns!

Tu Qianjun couldn't help but sigh! Zhang Zongchang, an old man with such strong firepower, should I send him to him instead of fighting with the Northern Expedition Army? But after thinking about it, it should be. After all, the combat power of his Zhilu coalition Army is really bad! Even if he holds the best things, it is just a material for delivering vegetables, which has the effect of Jiang Guangtou later on red.

What made Tu Qianjun the most happy is these ten Type 38 150mm howitzers! The howitzers have a short gun body, a curved trajectory, a maximum firing angle of 45 degrees, and a maximum 70 degrees. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for suppressing and annihilation of enemy vitality and destroying engineering facilities! The mortar equipped by Tu Qianjun used the base plate to withstand the recoil generated by firing tail bullets and fired at high firing angles. It is mainly used to attack targets behind the bunker and destroy field defense fortifications.
