Chapter 94 knocks on the mountain and shakes the tiger

Half an hour later, the independent division finished its rest and resumed its march. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause of the excessive consumption of food, there is not much left. Xu Guoren agreed with Chen Zhiyuan's attention to go to the surrounding villages and bazaars to buy grain.

Chen Zhiyuan took a battalion of troops and a number of horse-drawn carriages to the nearest villages in the south of Fengning to search for grain, salt and other daily necessities in the market.

Xu Guoren led his troops to continue to advance in the direction of Fengning County, and not long after, the cavalry reconnaissance company that opened the road in front encountered a suspicious person, and immediately arrested him and brought him back to see Xu Guoren.

"Division commander, this guy claims to have come to negotiate with them on the orders of Tang Yulin, chairman of Rehe Province." Seeing Xu Guoren, Guo Xiaoliu turned over and dismounted and saluted.

"Negotiations?" Xu Guoren looked at the visitor, he looked ordinary, small role, and asked patiently: "Say, what does Tang Yulin want to talk to us about?" ”

Seeing Xu Guoren's grim face, the man didn't dare to make a mistake, and said with a respectful expression: "Presumably you are the independent division Xu Guoren, Master Xu, our Chairman Tang sent a humble post here, mainly to ask what is the purpose of your entry into the territory of Rehe?" Do you want to put down roots here? Or is it just a way? ”

When Xu Guoren heard this, he immediately understood that his feelings were here to probe the tone.

However, this Tang Yulin is also real, and he directly sent someone to ask.

Even if you want to stay in Rehe to develop, you won't admit it to your face.

However, Xu Guoren estimated that if he really took an independent division to grab territory with him Tang Dahu in Rehe, it was estimated that soon this guy would have to go to war with him!

Fortunately, Xu Guoren's goal is the Northeast, and it is already August, and the time before the 918 Incident occurs is getting faster and faster, Xu Guoren doesn't want to delay time in Rehe, so he can get along with Tang Yulin and enter the Northeast by the way, which is naturally the best.

Therefore, Xu Guoren said to the man: "Please go back and tell Chairman Tang that our independent division is forced to enter Rehe, and will not stay in Rehe for a long time, let alone plot against Rehe, please rest assured as soon as possible." ”

"Dare to ask, where are you going to go next?"

Xu Guoren was a little displeased: "Your Excellency doesn't seem to understand what a military secret is?" ”

The man was a little embarrassed, and then bowed his hand and said, "Since this is the case, then I will report to Chairman Tang truthfully when I say goodbye." ”

"Well, we can use the radio to communicate, as long as Chairman Tang does not embarrass us, we will not go to war with him." Xu Guoren nodded.

After Tang Yulin's men left, Xu Guoren ordered the troops to immediately move eastward, just in case.

After all, the heart of defense is indispensable, and no one knows what Tang Yulin's idea is to fight, and it is better to be flexible.

Two days later, Chen Zhiyuan came back with a team to buy food, and Xu Guoren told him about Tang Yulin.

After hearing this, Chen Zhiyuan pondered for a while and said, "If we can really make an agreement with this Tang Yulin secretly, it will be conducive to our entry into the three eastern provinces." ”

"Yes, Tang Yulin is a veteran of the Northeast Army, and his troops are not weaker than Fu Zuoyi, if we really want to go to war, it will still be very disadvantageous for us!" Xu Guoren really doesn't want to go to war with the Northeast Army, the Jin Sui Army, the Northwest Army and even the Central Army now.

Because he knows that the 918 Incident is about to break out, he must preserve the vital force at hand to the greatest extent and keep it for fighting devils.

Therefore, it is best to shake hands with Tang Yulin and enter the Northeast by means of Rehe.

"When I go back, I ask our comrades in the underground party to try to get in touch with Tang Yulin, and do our best to shake hands and make peace for us!" Chen Zhiyuan said.

Three days later, Xu Guoren's divisional radio station was able to communicate directly with Tang Yulin's radio station.

As soon as Tang Yulin heard that Xu Guoren was not here to grab the land, but wanted to take advantage of it, he immediately opened his mouth and asked Xu Guoren for a toll of 50,000 yuan, otherwise he would carry out the instructions of Nanjing and Beiping and send troops to encircle and suppress them.

After Xu Guoren read the message, he was immediately furious, "This Tang Yulin is really insatiable, Lao Tzu doesn't look for him to be unlucky, and he dares to come to knock on the bamboo, do you really think that our independent division is muddy?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan was also a little angry: "This kind of guy, take the opportunity to fall into the well, we can't give in." ”

"Of course not, 50,000 oceans is enough for Lao Tzu to buy how much food and how many military uniforms to buy?!" Xu Guoren said with an unhappy face: "To him?" No way! ”

"But, if you don't give it, I'm afraid this guy won't give up!" Chen Zhiyuan was a little worried.

"Old Chen, don't be afraid, this guy Tang Yulin is a bandit, it's okay to rob homes and get some ill-gotten gains, which is also one of the reasons why he will ask us to buy tolls. Compared with Fu Zuoyi, a famous battlefield general, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Since he wants to rip off the bamboo, let's give him some color and let him know how good we are! Xu Guoren said.

"What are your plans?" Chen Zhiyuan asked.

Xu Guoren asked the commander of the guard company to bring a military map and spread it out in front of the two of them, Xu Guoren pointed to Chengde and other places on the map: "According to the information provided by the underground party, the 36th Division of Tang Yulin's headquarters has an infantry brigade, plus two regiments directly under the division headquarters, which are stationed in Chengde, and the rest are stationed in the counties around Chengde.

Anyway, we don't plan to give money, so let's start first, knock down Tang Yulin, and tell him that we are not soft persimmons, and he can pinch it as much as he wants. “

After speaking, Xu Guoren pointed his hand to the map and said quite domineeringly: "Let's fight Luanping, this is the south gate of Chengde, which is enough to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger!" ”

"Hit Luanping? Wouldn't it be a little too risky? It's not far from Chengde. Chen Zhiyuan said.

"There is no risk in war! Because this place is close to Chengde, once this place is attacked, Tang Yulin will definitely transfer several troops to the north of the Rehe River to ensure the safety of Chengde. In this way, we will be able to bypass Chengde and enter the north of Rehe, and thus enter the northeast! Xu Guoren looked at Chen Zhiyuan, Niu Dagen and others: "In this battle, our purpose is only to mobilize the garrison of Rehe, not to destroy the enemy.

The purpose is to quickly get rid of the entanglement of Tang Yulin's department. ”

After listening to this, Chen Zhiyuan nodded and had no opinion.

Xu Guoren then instructed Niu Dagen to pass on his battle plan and intentions to the regiment commanders and battalion commanders below.

At night, the night is thick and I can't see my fingers.

Xu Guoren personally led an infantry regiment, a cavalry guard company, and an artillery battalion to form a vanguard force, and marched towards the Luanping area under the cover of night.

Now Xu Guoren has more than 4,000 horses in his hands, and the first regiment and the artillery battalion can be used as horses, and the speed has been greatly improved. In addition, Fengning is not far from Luanping.

Therefore, when the sky was about to brighten, they rushed to the outside of Luanping County.

Because Chengde was Tang Yulin's base camp, and his main forces were also deployed there, only one battalion of defenders was stationed in Luanping.

Taking advantage of the night, the artillery battalion began to quickly build artillery positions, and Xu Guoren ordered the infantry regiment to cut down trees on the spot to build siege ladders and other siege equipment.

More than half an hour later, the artillery positions were constructed, and a batch of siege equipment was created. With Xu Guoren's order, dozens of mortars opened fire at the same time, and one shell after another pierced the night sky and bombarded the head of Luanping City.

After the first artillery bombardment, more than 2,000 people who had already taken up a regiment immediately launched an attack from three directions: east, west, and south.

Xu Guoren didn't plan to completely annihilate the defenders here, so he went to the tactic of encircling three and missing one, after all, he still needed someone to run back to report to Tang Yulin.
