Chapter 84: Bauhinia Pass

At Zhengding Railway Station, a train full of the Northeast Army slowly entered the station and stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The train was to be replenished with coal, and a burly officer, accompanied by several retinue adjutants, took the opportunity to get out of the train to breathe.

This person was ordered to lead his troops to the south to defeat Yu Xuezhong of Shi Yousan.

Yu Xuezhong is now angry in his heart, Xu Guoren, who was picked up by himself, dared to lead troops to attack Baoding, so that his best friend Wang Shuchang didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Moreover, this guy also played a trick on himself, as soon as he thought of this, Yu Xuezhong was furious, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead the troops back to Baoding to surprise Xu Guoren.

However, at this time, Shi Yousan's deflated calf thing rebelled again, so that Yu Xuezhong had to temporarily give up the crusade against Xu Guoren and wave his troops to the south again.

The adjutant understood how depressed Yu Xuezhong was at this time, so he immediately took out a cigarette and handed it over, and flattered Yu Xuezhong to order it.

Smoking a cigarette, the depression in Yu Xuezhong's heart dissipated slightly, and at this moment, a signal soldier ran over with a simple marching radio on his back, stood up and saluted: "Sir, the defenders of Shimen are in an emergency, the rebels of Shiyou's three divisions have arrived in Shimen and are attacking, the Jin Sui army can't resist, and has lost its peripheral positions, so I ask us to rush to help!" ”

Yu Xuezhong suddenly lost the mood to smoke, threw half of the cigarette to his feet and extinguished it, and said angrily: "These rice buckets, one by one on weekdays, when they encounter war, they are all fucking soft eggs!" ”

The adjutant analyzed: "The Jin Sui army is not very good at attacking, but there is still a set of defense, and their weapons and equipment are not bad." I'm afraid that they will deliberately retreat, let us fight with Shi You's three divisions to lose both! ”

During the Northern Expedition, the Feng army raised hundreds of thousands of troops to wage a full-scale war with the Jin Sui army in North China such as the Pinghan Line, the Pingsui Line, and the Zhengtai Line, so the ability of the Jin Sui Army to defend well is still understood.

Yu Xuezhong silently, this possibility is not nothing. However, Yu Xuezhong will not rest on his laurels, because he understands that Shi You's rebellion against the three troops is related to the entire situation in North China and even the whole country, and if it is not eradicated in time, the harm will be much greater than that of Xu Guoren.

Therefore, he immediately made up his mind and said: "No matter what happens to the Jin Sui Army, our Northeast Frontier Army must not spare this kid Shi Yousan!" To betray the young marshal is to betray our Northeast Army. The young marshal is transferring reinforcements from outside the pass into the pass, and Nanjing has also dispatched the Central Army to the north, not about to cross the Yellow River north and attack Shi Yousan with us in the north and south, this kid can't be around for long, pass my order, go at full speed!

Stick to the Shimen defense line and prevent the Shibe rebels from taking a single step forward. ”

Several adjutants stepped forward to accept the order in unison.

Soon the train started again, and the Northeast Army of the two elite brigades (divisions) spent about four or five hours and finally arrived in the Shimen area.

…………

On the way to Yi County, Guo Shiling followed behind her sister Guo Shiyin with a bag on her back, and kept asking questions.

"Sister, why are you with Xu Guoren?"

"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly when it's safe." Guo Shiyin carried the document bag on her back and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Then where is Xu Guoren going to take everyone?" Guo Shiling said very curiously.

"Outside the gates! Three Eastern Provinces! Guo Shiyin looked up at the surroundings, turned back to Guo Shiling and said: "Shiling, you listen to your sister, hurry back, it's very hard to go north, this is a war, not a joke!" ”

"I'm going to go outside the border, I haven't been to the Northeast yet." Guo Shiling pouted disapprovingly: "I know this is a war, I'm not here to play, I can help!" ”

"How can you help?" Guo Shiyin felt that her head was big, this sister didn't listen to persuasion at all, she had to follow the troops in Baoding, and she didn't listen to what she said.

"Of course I can help, I can read and write, and I have studied radio for half a year, so I can be a communications soldier!" Guo Shiling said with a smile.

Guo Shiyin stopped and glared at her: "Don't mess around, when did you learn radio?" How did I not know? ”

Guo Shiling's eyes were a little evasive, and he said: "It's been more than half a year, I think it's interesting to learn." ”

At this moment, Xu Guoren rode his horse and caught up from behind.

Also caught up were the officers and soldiers of the guards and reconnaissance companies responsible for the rear of the palace.

Seeing that he had caught up with the main force, Xu Guoren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was finally safe.

When Guo Shiling saw Xu Guoren, he immediately couldn't help but run out of the army column excitedly, and beckoned to him: "Xu Guoren, Xu Guoren, I'm here!" ”

Guo Shiyin's face was full of wonder, how could her sister and Xu Guoren seem to be very familiar.

Xu Guoren met Guo Shiyin's inquiring gaze, grinned a little awkwardly, and said stubbornly: "Sister Shiling, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Didn't you promise me to take me with you, why can't I see you anymore?" Guo Shiling complained with some dissatisfaction.

Xu Guoren found that Miss Guo's eyes had become a little sharp, and immediately snorted and said: "That, I still have military affairs, Sister Shiling, you follow your sister, let's talk about it later!" ”

After speaking, Xu Guoren waved his horsewhip and slammed the hips of the war horse under his crotch!

Syllable! With a crisp sound, the war horse was in pain, and immediately spread its hooves and galloped forward.

Seeing this, the cavalry rode their horses to follow, and for a moment the horses' hooves vibrated and splashed puffs of smoke and dust.

Bauhinia Pass, located in the Bauhinia Ridge 40 kilometers west of Yi County, Hebei Province, the east of Guancheng is Wanren Mountain, thousands of ridges are towering, cliffs and cliffs; There is a rhinoceros mountain in the west of the city, which winds to the west and connects with Panshikou.

The north of the city is the Juma River, the valley is wide and the slope is steep, the waves are high and the water is rapid; The south of the city is the Loess Ridge, with thousands of mountains and ravines on its back, and the mountains and mountains are stacked on top of each other. Bauhinia Pass City is built in this basin between two mountains.

It forms a natural barrier around it and is one of the important passes of the Inner Great Wall. The ancients had a visual description of its topography and military status: "The south blocks the steepness of the road, the north bears the abyss of the horse, the approximate floating map is the gateway, and the far away is Xuanda as the fence." A pass is in the middle, the group is dangerous, the scale is magnificent, and it is guaranteed by the assistant. Bauhinia Pass is located between Juyong and the two passes of the inverted horse, known as the "inner three passes".

Because the current situation is different from ancient times, in ancient times this was one of the important barriers of the Gongwei Jingshi, but now there is no garrison here, and there is only a group of descendants of the guards in the pass, living here.

However, there is a local security regiment stationed in the county seat of Yi County, Baoding is less than 200 miles away from Yi County, Xu Guoren left Baoding with his troops, and traveled all the way, it took about eight hours, and finally arrived in the area of Yi County.

At this time, one of the 50,000 horses of the Northeast Army, led by He Zhuguo and commanded by Zhang Xueliang remotely, also went south from Zhuozhou and arrived in Baoding along the Pinghan Line.

Because all the radio stations and external liaison equipment of the provincial defense army in Baoding City and Baoding Military Academy were seized and taken away by Xu Guoren's department. Ma Yunfeng of the secret investigation team also destroyed the radio station because he was evading pursuit, and fled out of the city.

Therefore, until now, Zhang Xueliang and He Zhuguo and other high-ranking officials of the Northeast Army did not know that Xu Guoren had led his troops to leave Baoding City.

He Zhuguo and Zhang Xueliang both planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the 50,000-strong army to go south to defeat Shi Yousan, pass through Baoding to exterminate Xu Guoren's troops and recover Baoding.

After arriving outside Yi County, Xu Guoren ordered the troops to rest in a mountain forest, and he asked Chen Zhiyuan to discuss whether to capture Yi County, or bypass Yi County and go straight to Bauhinia Pass.
