Chapter 80 Siege of the Provincial Defense Army

Wu Zhen panicked, and nodded again and again: "Okay, retreat, quickly bring someone to cover my retreat, and call the provincial defense army and ask them to come over to support!" ”

Secretary Zhang prevaricated and dealt with a few words, then followed Wu Zhen with a few guards and hurried out of the city government. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that before they had time to get on the car, Xu Guoren led a group of infantry to kill like a whirlwind: "Arrest them all!" ”

Several of Wu Zhen's guards couldn't help but feel cowardly when they saw Xu Guoren and their large numbers, but they were not too willing to be arrested, Xu Guoren saw this and pointed at the pistol and shouted: "I am Xu Guoren, the commander of the 88th Independent Brigade, whoever dares to resist will be shot on the spot!" ”

Behind him, hundreds of soldiers pulled the bolt of their guns one after another, raised their guns and aimed at Wu Zhen and his party.

Facing the muzzle of the black hole and hearing Xu Guoren's name, these guards and secretaries who had heard of Xu Guoren for a long time finally had no courage to resist.

"Which of you is the provincial chairman?" Xu Guoren thought that there was Wang Shuchang in this, and he was afraid that he would be injured by mistake, so he asked loudly again.

Secretary Zhang was already frightened in the face of the officers and soldiers of the independent division who came to collect their weapons like wolves and tigers, and suddenly he betrayed Wu Zhen, who was deliberately pretending to be low-key on the side, with a loud voice: "Chief Xu, I have an important situation to report to you!" ”

Xu Guoren's eyes swept him coldly: "What information, who are you?" ”

"I am the secretary of the mayor of Baoding, and here is Wu Zhen, vice chairman and mayor of the province, and he is it." Secretary Zhang said and pointed to Wu Zhen, who bowed his head and pretended to be silent, and continued: "Chief Xu, this Wu Zhen is the elder brother of Wu Xing who was sent to Pingyang to be the county magistrate before, and the reason why you were designated as a rebel is all because he framed him!" ”

Xu Guoren glanced at Wu Zhen and found that he was really a little similar to Wu Xing.

Immediately waved his hand and said: "Arrest them all for me, and when the battle is over, I will settle accounts for them personally!" ”

……

Wang Shuchang and Wu Zhen and other local officials couldn't urinate in a pot, so about two miles away from the mayor's compound, requisitioned a courtyard and changed it to a provincial government compound.

Wang Shuchang was born in the military in the end, as soon as the gun rang out, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and rode on his horse and ran towards the north of the city with a guard platoon beside him.

No matter which unit attacked Baoding, the gendarmerie police in the city composed of ruffians and hooligans would definitely not be able to stop it.

It's just that Wang Shuchang didn't expect that the attacking troops were more thoughtful than he thought.

When he arrived near the north gate with the guard platoon, he found that the north gate had also been breached by the enemy, and a large number of infantry were advancing along the streets and alleys towards the city.

"Into the yard!" Wang Shuchang glanced at the side of the street, where there was a courtyard with two entrances and exits, and immediately waved his hand to order.

Two burly guards of the Northeast Army immediately stepped forward with submachine guns and kicked the courtyard door open, and rushed into the courtyard first.

Only then did Wang Shuchang pour into the courtyard with his subordinates, and then commanded them to go up to the courtyard wall and roof, ready to stand firm and wait for help.

The enemy's situation is unknown, the number of troops is too small, and it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out if it breaks through rashly.

Wang Shu is often dozens of people, and it is impossible not to be discovered.

Soon, he was surrounded by Guo Danian with hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment.

"Listen to the people inside, we are from the original 88th Independent Brigade, this time we hit the provincial capital just to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, not to kill the Northeast Army, if you are the Northeast Army, come out and surrender, our division commander said, not a single one!" Guo Danian saw that the courtyard was full of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and judging from the clothes, it was very similar to the military uniform that the independent division had received before, it should be the Northeast Army, so he shouted and asked.

In the courtyard, Wang Shuchang was holding a Browning pistol, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard it: "It turned out to be Xu Guoren's bastard, he dared to lead the army to besiege the provincial capital, it's really against the sky!" ”

The guard platoon commander on the side asked a little nervously, "Sir, what are we going to do now?" ”

"Tell them that Lao Tzu is the chairman of Hebei Province, and Wang Shuchang of the Northeast Army, let Xu Guoren come to see me!" Wang Shu often said.

The guard platoon commander immediately pulled his throat to spread the words, Guo Danian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that he was the provincial chairman, and his heart could be regarded as catching a big fish, so he immediately sent someone to inform Xu Guoren, and he took hundreds of people to surround this courtyard layer by layer, for fear that Wang Shuchang, a big fish, would run away.

Although Guo Danian knew that Xu Guoren did not fight the Northeast Army, he didn't know what Wang Shuchang meant, he only knew that he was the provincial chairman, which was a great achievement.

Xu Guoren soon heard the news and rushed with more than 100 officers and soldiers, stopped his horse, and shouted into the courtyard: "Chief Wang, the humble Xu Guoren sent troops to the provincial government this time, not to rebel, nor to target you and the young marshal, but to eradicate Wu Zhen and other traitorous villains, they framed Xu, the evidence is conclusive, and has now been captured by me, please rest assured, when I execute Wu Zhen and other villains, I will lead the army to leave." ”

Not long after, Wang Shuchang opened the courtyard door and walked out with the guards. looked Xu Guoren up and down, and said meaningfully: "No matter what the purpose, leading the troops to besiege the provincial capital, do you know what it means?" ”

At this time, there was a sudden gunfire in the northeast of the city, and the explosions continued, Xu Guoren's face changed, and he immediately said to Wang Shuchang: "Chief Wang, the military situation is urgent, let's talk about it later, I hope you and your subordinates will hand over their weapons, and my troops will guarantee your safety!" ”

Wang Shuchang sighed helplessly and waved his hand to signal the guards to put down their weapons.

handed over Wang Shuchang and his entourage to Guo Danian and told him to protect them well. Xu Guoren took hundreds of infantry and hurried to the northeast of the city, and at the same time left a regiment to control the city defense, and immediately went out of the city to outflank and cooperate with the defeat of the provincial defense army.

To the northeast of the city, Guo Xiaoliu and Niu Dagen led 800 cavalry, and they were already engaged with the provincial defense army that rushed to reinforce after hearing the news.

However, before the battle began, half a battalion of artillery prepared in advance and bombarded the vanguard of the provincial defense army, which was eager to rush to reinforcements, causing them a lot of casualties.

Subsequently, the Provincial Defense Forces sent troops to attack in a roundabout way, trying to neutralize the artillery positions of the independent division.

At the same time, he launched a frontal attack to contain Guo Xiaoliu and them.

In order to avoid the artillery battalion being threatened, Guo Xiaoliu made a quick decision and ordered the cavalry to take the initiative to charge the enemy.

The cavalry was fast, and it happened that the enemy was also attacking, so they quickly rushed together.

Relying on the sprint of the war horses, Guo Xiaoliu and Niu Dagen took the enemy by surprise, shot and slashed down, and retreated the frontal attack of the provincial defense army.

At this time, the soldiers of the artillery battalion also carried rifles and bayonets, and fought with the roundabout troops of the provincial defense army.

"Brothers, rush!" Xu Guoren took the lead and raised his gun to shoot.

Hundreds of infantry rushed up one after another, and the roundabout troops of the provincial defense army were killed and wounded heavily, Guo Xiaoliu and Niu Dagen took the cavalry troops to kill them back, and under the attack on both sides, hundreds of roundabout troops of the provincial defense army were wrapped in dumplings.

Because he couldn't outrun the cavalry, he was quickly chased and annihilated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the provincial defense army resolutely retreated to the Baoding Military Academy.

Xu Guoren led the cavalry, infantry and artillery to immediately take advantage of the situation to chase after them and surrounded them in the barracks of the Baoding Military Academy.

The battle in Baoding City has ended, except for Guo Danian with more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment to control the four gates, and the security in the city.

Thousands of officers and men of the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment and the other half of the battalion of artillery were all ordered to rush to the Baoding Military School, join forces with Xu Guoren and them, and encircle the provincial defense army with heavy troops.
