Chapter 939: Yuan Shikai Arrives
Just when Feng Guozhang was in a hurry, Yuan Shikai finally arrived. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]--
Feng Guozhang connected Yuan Shikai to the headquarters, and after sitting down, Yuan Shikai asked: "Huafu, tell me, how is the current battle situation?" ”
Feng Guozhang sighed and said: "Comfort Shuai, fortunately, you reminded me and let me inspect the Huai River defense, otherwise, I will be out of the big basket, when I just arrived near the Weiyu Ferry, the Weiyu Ferry happened to encounter a sneak attack by the Chinese Revolutionary Army, the revolutionary army with more than 1,000 people forcibly crossed the Huai River, landed at the ferry, two battalions of the new army, was defeated by others in one fell swoop, and the subordinates mobilized Li Yuanhong's Twelfth Association to attack with all their might, and only then did they take the Weiyu Ferry......"
When Yuan Shikai heard this, his face changed, and when he heard Feng Guozhang say that Li Yuanhong had taken back the Weiyu Ferry, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Okay, Huafu, since the Weiyu Ferry has been taken back, then there is nothing to do, and then readjust the river defense and defend it with all your might, there are permanent fortifications in Bengbu, and Ling Chuanqing on the north bank can't help it even if he uses more artillery." Now our defense is focused here, if the troops are not enough, I will 'draw' some more men for you, you must hold here! ”
Feng Guozhang smiled bitterly: "Comfort Shuai, although the Weiyu Ferry has been recaptured, the Chinese Revolutionary Army with nearly 1,000 people broke through the encirclement of Li Yuanhong and fled south to the vicinity of Huyi Mountain. ”
Yuan Shikai frowned and said: "The strength of an association, encircling and suppressing more than 1,000 bandits from the Northern Kingdom who fought against the water, how did this Li Yuanhong bring the soldiers, it is really a waste!" ”
Feng Guozhang smiled bitterly, he couldn't add fuel to the fire at this time, if he said it again, if it wasn't good, Lao Yuan would push Li Yuanhong to the end. (Just Love)
Feng Guozhang replied: "Comfort Shuai, these bandits from the northern country are too strong, and their tactical literacy is obviously superior to that of our army, and Li Yuanhong's ...... cannot be blamed."
Yuan Shikai replied: "Since you know that the bandits in the northern country are strong, you dare to send a regiment of troops to encircle and suppress them?" They are now defending in Huyi Mountain, coupled with flexible and mobile tactics, if they don't do it, not a single regiment can help others, and they will be disgraced by others! The most important thing is that if this group of people runs out and pokes the basket everywhere, it will become a bomb, our hinterland defense is empty, there are hundreds of them, almost no county has the ability to resist, and they have not been turned upside down? ”
Feng Guozhang was shocked, yes, the day before yesterday they were driven by Li Yuanhong's two regiments to 'mess' everywhere, that is because the 12th Association is in full swing, and there is backup, the 151st Regiment has to retreat, and now people are in danger to defend, dealing with the 37th Regiment that came alone, the outcome is really unpredictable.
Moreover, the problem is not the victory or defeat, but the huge threat brought by this force to the hinterland of the Qing court, nearly a thousand 'elite' elites, which can almost threaten most of the area within a radius of thousands of miles, which is a big trouble!
Feng Guozhang looked back at Li Yuanhong in the distance, and shouted: "Li Yuanhong, immediately mobilize the 38th Regiment, quickly rush to Huyi Mountain, rush to the 37th Regiment, and combine the strength of the two regiments, we must wipe out the remnants of the revolutionary army for me!" ”
Li Yuanhong hurriedly responded: "Yes, overseer, the lowly duty will definitely complete the task!" ”
Feng Guozhang looked at Yuan Shikai and said: "Comfort, the most troublesome thing now is that the artillery group of the Chinese Revolutionary Army on the north bank is too powerful, and we can't raise our heads at all when suppressed by the ferocious artillery fire. ”
Yuan Shikai nodded and said: "Well, what you said is that this is indeed a big problem, but the most terrifying thing is not their artillery group, but their more powerful aircraft, according to Chen Qimei's report, now the planes of the Chinese Revolutionary Army are even more powerful, and they have fifty or sixty planes, once they all go to the front line, the threat to us will be even greater, so, Huafu, your task is heavier!" ”
Feng Guozhang looked bitter and asked, "Comfort Shuai, then what do you say we should do?" ”
Yuan Shikai said in a deep voice: "Huafu, stabilize your breath, now we can only respond to changes with the same, we have strong troops, I am 'pumping' the troops of a town over, as long as the situation in other places here is stabilized, it is easy to control, now the tenth town in Jiangxi is marching at full speed, it is estimated that we will be able to rush here in a few days, when the time comes, we will have the strength of four towns, more than 60,000 people, the strength is almost twice as much as theirs, I think, the pressure you face will be much less." ”
Feng Guozhang nodded and said: "Okay, it's only like this now, but, Shuai Wei, we still have to guard against Taiwan's Chinese Revolutionary Army, there are still three divisions there, we must be careful!" ”
Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, there is a moat across the Taiwan Strait, even if Taiwan's Zhang Zuolin has great ability, he can't fly over with wings!" ”
Feng Guozhang asked: "However, now that the Republic of China still has a powerful navy, our two sailors are simply two 'flower' shelves, and they are like paper paste in front of others, there is no difference!" What will we do if someone sends out the navy to attack our military port? ”
Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "What are you worried about, no matter how bad it is, there is Tan Jianshan in Zhejiang, he has a new army in nearly a town, let Tan Jianshan go to the top when the time comes!" ”
Feng Guozhang saw that Yuan Shikai's 'chest' was complete, so he stopped talking.
Yuan Shikai said excitedly: "Huafu, don't be so pessimistic, this time as long as we can withstand the first three months, then the passive will be the Republic of China, the foundation of the Republic of China is not stable, when the upper hand is over, it is good to say, as long as there is some wind and grass, North China will continue to come out." Chaos, now their mobile forces have been transferred to the front line, the strength is tight, when the time comes, by Zhang Yi's suffering, not to mention that we have already obtained the consent of the Southern Revolutionary Army, join forces with us, England and Japan have also promised to provide us with some help, we still have something to fear, let's work hard, as long as we resist their three-plate axe, they will have nothing to do. ”
Yuan Shikai's words finally gave Feng Guozhang some confidence in his heart.
Feng Guozhang replied: "Comfort Shuai, it's okay, we have so much backup, what are you afraid of, isn't it just three months, even if you are tired to death, I will also die and carry it down!" ”
Yuan Shikai said: "Okay, what we need is this ruthlessness, then the map, we will start to discuss the military deployment here, and adjust our military deployment in place as soon as possible, so that it may drag on for a longer time!" Say
