Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

At this time, Yang Jiakai was finally pushed out of the operating room safely. Su Zhengyang, who had not slept all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

"Governor, we have confirmed that this is a conspiracy between Zhang Chengxiang and Fusang, and the Southern Government may also be behind it."

"According to the comprehensive analysis of the intelligence of the Northwest Intelligence Bureau, the Zhao faction in Ganzhou and the Han faction in Yongzhou to the east are now on the same front with Zhang Chengxiang's party. Their mission should be to restrict our Northwest Revolutionary Army and prevent us from having any impact on the situation in Longzhou."

Su Zhengyang nodded, and after a moment, he said decisively: "Tell Zheng Zeyu not to wait any longer, and go to war with the Korean faction in Yongzhou in the name of suppressing the rebels!"

"Tell Tang Yuanfei of the Third Army to be ready. Once the war with the Han faction begins, immediately charge into Ganzhou. I want to start with the Han and Zhao factions, these two fence-sitters who stir up trouble."

Zhang Luanyu showed a hint of hesitation and said, "Governor, if we are restricted to the northwest corner, once the situation in Longzhou falls into a disadvantage, it will be difficult to change it."

Su Zhengyang sneered without thinking: "If something happened to my father-in-law, the situation in Longzhou, the center of the Northern Frontier government, might take a sharp turn for the worse, but now he is safe and sound, like a stabilizing force, enough to make Zhang Chengxiang, an ambitious man, suffer. My father-in-law has been the president of Northern Frontier for nearly 20 years. If he doesn't have a few trump cards in his hand, can he calm down these governors of various provinces with different thoughts?"

"We must take advantage of this opportunity to completely take over the Northwest and become the true King of the Northwest! Add strength to our entire Northwest Revolutionary Army."

"I understand, Governor."

As the sky began to turn pale, a large-scale war suddenly broke out in Beilong City, the Central Guard Army, and the Ninth Army’s base.

The so-called Shadow Dragon Army is divided into four regiment-level combat units. From the lowest-level soldiers to the middle and high-level commanders, they are all the best selected from the troops of the six towns of Beilong. Their combat capabilities and military qualities are impeccable.

Every year, Yang Jiakai would take out a huge amount of military funds to update the equipment of the Shadow Dragon Army hidden in the dark and provide various support.

Including the large amount of arms that Su Zhengyang provided to Yang Jiakai, a considerable portion of them were used to equip the Shadow Dragon Army.

It can be said that the entire Shadow Dragon Army, from top to bottom, is Yang Jiekai's absolute direct lineage. Their cohesion and combat effectiveness are even better than those of the Beilong Six Towns troops, which are known for their bravery and fighting skills.

The Shadow Dragon Army's four full-strength regiments of 150 people are composed of two infantry regiments, one fire assault regiment, and one artillery regiment. The artillery regiment is equipped with eight 16MM heavy artillery, 105 32MM howitzers, and 75 MM mountain guns.

The Shadow Dragon Army launched a fierce attack on the Ninth Army's base when the latter was caught off guard.

The sky was filled with gunfire and smoke, and the shouts of killing were deafening. The uniform sky blue uniforms of the Shadow Dragon Army sparkled brightly in the morning sun, catching the Ninth Army off guard.

Half an hour after the war started, Zhu Haidong finally received news from the Ninth Army.

Zhu Haidong was a little confused when he got the news. The current president's faction, apart from the Central Guard Division, had no other large-scale combat forces in Beilong City. Could it be that the troops from the six towns in northern Xinjiang had moved south?

No, according to the time calculation, even if Yang Chengjun had wings, it would be impossible for him to lead a force of more than 70,000 people from the six towns in the northern border to the south within a few hours.

"Tell Liu Yu that no matter who the enemy is, as long as they are from the President's faction, they must be beaten severely! Immediately have the 11th Army move closer to the front line of the 9th Army and leave the enemy behind. The people we have left should also play their roles. Immediately have them command their troops to launch a full-scale attack on the Xuanwu District and engage the Central Guard Division!"

"Whoever dares to play tricks like that, kill him immediately!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Send a telegram to Councillor Zhang and ask his two armies how long it will take to reach Beilong City! If everything goes well, perhaps we can capture Yang Jiakai and Duan Jinshu before the troops from the six towns in Northern Xinjiang move south."

Soon, Zhu Haidong's two army-level direct troops, the 11th Army and the 9th Army, began to jointly launch a counterattack against the Shadow Dragon Army. Under the coercion of Zhu Haidong, the senior generals of the Central Guard Army who were detained in the headquarters had to bite the bullet and lead their troops to launch a full-scale attack on the Central Guard Division stationed in Xuanwu District.

Half an hour later, the reputation that Yang Jiakai had accumulated over the years in the entire Northern Xinjiang government played a huge role. First, Lu Changzheng led the 13th Army and made it clear that he would absolutely support the president and resolutely fight against the rebels. Afterwards, Yang Jiakai personally called the officers of each division-level unit of the Central Guard Army one by one.

It was not until this time that Zhu Haijun realized that even if he imprisoned the highest commanders of various army-level units and asked them to convey and issue orders downward, the effect was minimal. Only a few were willing to respond and lead their troops to fight against the Central Guard Division. Most people still maintained their firm stance under Yang Jiakai's personal call.

The war lasted for half a day and affected the entire Beilong City. There were battlefields everywhere and smoke everywhere. Zhu Haidong, who originally thought he had an absolute advantage, found it increasingly difficult to fight. The Shadow Dragon Army was not afraid of the joint attack of the Ninth and Eleventh Armies. Instead, it joined forces with other Central Guard Army troops to counterattack and encircle the Ninth and Eleventh Armies. In just half a day, half of the enemy's troops of nearly 60,000 were crippled.

In the afternoon, Su Zhengyang received a call from his father-in-law Yang Jiakai.

"Zhengyang, thanks to you for arranging the Divine Punishment Special Forces by my side, otherwise, I would be in great danger this time. With me here in Longzhou, there won't be any trouble. You take care of your own side and don't have any worries. Zhang Chengxiang has already set up his chariots, horses and cannons and is ready to fight us to the death! This is also a battle that will determine the future fate of Northern Xinjiang and China! As long as you can stabilize the situation in the northwest, it will be the greatest help to me."

"Dad, how are you now? I heard you were shot."

"Don't worry. I've seen a lot of storms in my life. This little injury won't kill me. Take good care of Qiyue. We will get through this difficult time together and create a future for Northern Xinjiang."

After learning that her father had been assassinated, Yang Qiyue couldn't wait to take the microphone after Su Zhengyang and Yang Jiakai finished talking. The moment she heard her father's weak voice, she burst into tears and sobbed. Su Zhengyang gently patted Yang Qiyue's back to comfort her.

"These bastards are useless! Even if Yang Jiakai farts loudly, it will be more effective than their words. Come on, kill them all! If I don't get well, no one else will!"

At this time, Zhu Haidong was already furious and his mentality completely exploded. He originally thought that he had a good hand and was sure to win, but he did not expect that from the moment the war started, the situation was immediately reversed, making Zhu Haidong completely unable to accept this reality.
