Chapter 128 rushed to Xuzhou
At dawn, the troops braved the cold wind and hit the road. The 4 regiments of the 20th Brigade www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion were dispatched, Wen Biao led the 61st Regiment to the front, and Zhang Meng was listless and rode a horse to accompany him. will be calculated, Zhang Meng is indispensable as the protagonist. Ge Yunfei and Li Zhong rode side by side in the Chinese army, and several caravans around him carried Li Zhong, Zhang Meng and his subordinates' families. At present, Li Zhong has a main room, 3 concubines, a son and a daughter. Zhang Meng's wife and concubine had no children, and after they completed the "task", they went directly to Shanghai via Xuzhou.
Xuzhou is about 70 kilometers away from Taierzhuang, and the troops set off from Taierzhuang early in the morning and are expected to arrive in Xuzhou at midnight. The purpose of the attack was to attack it by surprise and surprise it. The troops marched southwestwards along the road on the side of the railway line. Troop movements are commonplace these days and do not attract special attention. At present, the armed forces often change guards, and the frequent movement of troops is a military secret, and the local government has no right to inquire about it, so it plays a role in concealment.
Yesterday, Zhang Xun was overjoyed to receive a secret letter from Li Zhong in Xuzhou, the content of which was reasonable and unquestionable, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare to greet him. Early this morning, Zhang Xun asked Liu Qi to lead a company of men and horses to meet on the way.
Zhang Xun is in the prime of life, full of energy, he is 48 years old this year, a native of Jiangxi. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, he served as the governor of Yunnan, Gansu and Jiangnan. After the fall of the Qing court, in order to show his allegiance to the Qing family, Zhang Xun forbade his subordinates to cut their braids, and was called the commander. Zhang Xun looks handsome, not fat or shy, the inverted mustache on his lips is not angry and arrogant, and his eyes reveal a fierce light, giving people a gloomy feeling.
"Marshal, Li Zhong said in the letter that Ge Yunfei ordered his 20th Brigade to be transferred to Yantai, was the conspiracy between us detected?" Subordinates asked. "Ge Yunfei will not be aware of it, and if he is aware of it, it is impossible to give an order to transfer. Even if you want to clean the portal, you will not be quiet. "Marshal, Li Zhong brought over a group of people in the name of the exercise, and you really gave him the position of deputy marshal?" "It's expedient, what's wrong with giving him a lieutenant. Don't underestimate his group, he has 6 heavy machine guns, and his troops are equipped with German-made rifles and are well-equipped. ”
"Dashuai, what if Ge Yunfei doesn't give up and leads his troops to attack Xuzhou?" "Don't worry, Li Zhong came to vote voluntarily and has nothing to do with us. Moreover, the city of Xuzhou was tall and strong, and no matter how strong his troops were, they could not break through the strong city of Xuzhou. In addition, if he pulls all the people and horses, someone will copy his old hole, Ge Yunfei is not a fool, he doesn't care about the safety of Shandong for the sake of a group of people. "Handsome Takami! With Li Zhong joining his regiment, our foundation in Jiangsu will be even stronger. ”
The troops are moving at full speed, and the soldiers have wind on their feet. "Stop!" Ge Yunfei glanced at his pocket watch and gave an order, and with the sound of a tick-tock military trumpet, the marching troops stopped. Ge Yunfei knew in his heart that Zhang Xun would definitely send someone to answer, so he had to distance himself from Wen Biao so as not to be detected by the other party. "Order the troops to rest in place and have lunch!" "The plan is so thorough, Zhang Xun never dreamed that death would come!" Li Zhong dismounted and smiled bitterly.
"In order to eradicate hidden dangers in the future, this is a plan I have had for a long time, how can I let others snore under the couch! From now on, I will do my best to deal with the Japanese, and all unfavorable factors must be eliminated. Ge Yunfei was blunt and told Li Zhong the truth.
A team of men and horses appeared in front of him, Wen Biao rode on a horse and held a telescope to check: "Zhang Meng, is that team of men and horses in front of Zhang Xun's troops?" "The one riding a horse in the middle is Liu Qi." "Zhang Meng, you should know what to do when you see Liu Qi!" "Wen Biao, my wife and children are in your hands, what else can I do." Wen Biao saw Zhang Meng's bitter gourd face, and despised it in his heart, damn it, he wouldn't die, and now it's too late to regret anything.
The men and horses of both sides approached and stopped. "Haha, Brother Zhang, I finally looked forward to you. That's right, people move the living tree and move the dead, and our buddies will be happy if they live. Liu Qi stepped forward with the reins in his hand and greeted him warmly. Zhang Meng reluctantly smiled and said, "Brother Liu, didn't I come!" Liu Qi looked left and right, stretching his neck and looking around. Don't look at it, Brigade Commander Li is behind with his family, and the brigade headquarters guards are fine. ”
Liu Qi shouted loudly: "Brothers, the front team will become the back team, and open the way in front." "Zhang Xun's braided soldiers, looking poor and sour, with a braid dragging on the back of his head, look nondescript. Compared with this unit, the braided soldiers are far inferior in terms of weapons and equipment, military appearance, and military appearance.
When the troops started on the road, Liu Qi asked Wen Biao: "What is this brother called?" "The surname Wen is an adjutant, but is Vice Captain Liu?" "In Xia Liu Qi, he served as the deputy captain of Zhang Dashuai's guards." "I'm waiting for the first time, please take care of Vice Captain Liu." "It's all a family, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!" "Brother Zhang, why are you unhappy when you get out of the sea of suffering?" Liu Qi saw that Zhang Meng was sullen and confused. Wen Biao took it over and said: "Deputy Captain Liu, the regiment commander's wife is reluctant to come, and there is a lot of trouble, so the regiment commander is in a bad mood." ”
"Long hair and short knowledge, don't be like the old lady!" Zhang Meng couldn't cry or laugh, Wen Biao took it and said: "Deputy Captain Liu is reasonable, the head of the regiment's wife is a Jinan lover, and I have already persuaded him." Wen Biao ridiculed that the atmosphere was a lot more active, and Liu Qixin thought it was true, so it was convenient for Wen Biao to chat, which seemed to be very speculative. At dusk, Wen Biao led the forward troops to rest for a while, and simply finished their meal and continued to advance.
At about 9 p.m., Ge Yunfei ordered the troops to temporarily stop advancing and summoned several regiment commanders to deploy combat missions. Under a horse lantern, the newly promoted 62nd Regiment Commander Lin Chuang, the 63rd Regiment Commander Wang Deyi, and the 64th Regiment Commander Yu Deshui surrounded him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, time is pressing, and I will briefly assign combat missions. At present, we are about 5 kilometers away from the 61st Regiment, according to Wen Biao's marching speed, the headquarters will arrive at the north gate of Xuzhou at about 11 o'clock, and you must approach the 61st Regiment before 11 o'clock. Zhang Xun's barracks are located on the west side of the city, Wang Deyi! "The subordinates are here!" "You lead the subordinate to take the first step, detour back to the west gate to block the escape route of the pigtail army, and set off now!" "Subordinates obey!"
Wang Deyi stepped on the war horse and shouted loudly, leading his subordinates to roar away. "Lin Chuang, Yu Deshui obey orders!" "The subordinates are here!" "After the chief of culture and tourism took the city gate, the two of you quickly entered the city and cooperated with the 61st Brigade to surround the barracks, there must be no mistake!" "Subordinates obey!" The brigade was far away, leaving only a platoon of guards to escort them. "There is nothing wrong with your deployment, but if you capture the thief and capture the king first, do you want to let Zhang Xun go?" Li Zhong was confused. "Let go of Zhang Xun? I can tell you he's dead. We are not in a hurry to walk slowly, and when we arrive in Xuzhou, I am afraid that the battle will be over long ago. ”
At about 11 o'clock, Wen Biao led his troops to the north gate of Xuzhou. At this time, the city gates were brightly lit, apparently specially prepared for them. Several bonfires were lit in the barracks in the city, and several rows of barracks houses were brightly lit, and many soldiers were busy in the houses, apparently preparing for them. The military headquarters of the Wuding Army is even more lively, with lights in front of the door, and the guards who stayed behind are all smiling, waiting for a full meal.
Soldiers had already returned to report that Li Zhong's surrender troops had arrived smoothly. Zhang Xun called all the leaders of each battalion to the military headquarters to greet the guests ceremoniously. The Braided Army has a total of 10 battalions, each battalion has 300 people, and the Wuding Army is a self-contained system and is not under the jurisdiction of the War Department. At this time, Zhang Xun's face was full of red light, and a well-equipped and well-trained mighty army defected to him, which was like icing on the cake. Now I am thinking about recruiting troops and buying horses, and God sent it to me, I really want to come to something, and I don't need to say it.
At this moment, in the dark outside the military headquarters, Lu Jian, the leader of the special operations team, told his subordinates: "We will launch an attack when fireworks appear at the North City Gate in a while, and we must be quick in our actions." None of the officers inside remained. "Captain, won't Zhang Xun stay either?" A subordinate asked. "Do you need to ask, what you want is his dog's life!" Attack with grenades for a while, blow them up first and then rush inside. "Captain, the guards of the pigtails are too lax, why are they not vigilant at all, to put it bluntly, they are a group of rabble." One of his subordinates scoffed.
The camera turned to the north city gate, and at this time, Liu Qi immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Listen to the people above, I Liu Qi greeted the defectors back, and immediately opened the city gate to welcome guests." A small leader on the arrow tower took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Liu Qi who flattered and said: "It's Team Liu who is back, don't be impatient, the little one will open the door for you!" The gate opened, the front team continued to advance, and the back team just entered the city gate Wen Biao said: "Deputy Captain Liu, let's wait for a while, Brigade Commander Li arrives, and we will go to Zhang Dashuai's mansion." ”
When Liu Qi heard this, he immediately ordered his men and horses to stop advancing, and at this moment, they started to act at the same time, and the soldiers quickly ran forward to surround Liu Qi's men and horses, "Don't move, disarm and don't kill!" Liu Qiyi was dumbfounded, and then he looked at Wen Biao's muzzle pointed at him. Zhang Meng, you fucking lied to me? "Liu Qi, the matter between you and me has been revealed, and I have no choice for the sake of my wife and children, Ge Yunfei's brigade is behind, and Zhang Xun's death is here." "Liu Qi, don't pretend to be a hero, order your people to surrender!"
Liu Qi and his subordinates were obediently captured, and the soldiers at the city gate quickly rushed to the city wall, and the city gate changed hands when they were dazzled. The 63rd and 64th regiments of Kung Fu appeared outside the city gate. Wen Biao took Liu Qi to lead the way and took the lead in outflanking the barracks on the west side, and the 63rd and 64th regiments entered the city gate and stopped, and rushed west in battle formation.
An officer on the castle tower ordered fireworks to be set off, and suddenly colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky. On the side of the Wuding Military Headquarters, Lu Jian, the captain of the special combat team, was overjoyed when he saw the fireworks in the sky and said: "Our people have arrived, listen to my command to attack!" "The team members are agile and pounce on the enemy's lair like cheetahs.
The sentry in front of the gate of the Wuding Army found a black figure rushing towards him, and asked loudly who it was? Several shots rang out, and the sentry fell in a pool of blood. Dozens of grenades were then thrown into the courtyard, and with the sound of violent explosions, the battle began. There was chaos in the military headquarters, "The marshal is not good, someone is attacking!" "Resist it for me, and immediately call for help from the barracks!" As soon as Zhang Xun finished speaking, bullets flew sideways, several guards in front of the door were knocked down, and then several grenades flew in through the window.
A grenade exploded right next to Zhang Xun, and the explosion lifted his body up, and the room was filled with smoke. The attackers seemed to be unwilling to give up, and threw more than 10 grenades into the house, and the continuous explosions were deafening. The soldiers of Zhang Xun's guard in the courtyard were frightened, some were holding their heads and running around, some simply knelt on the ground and raised their hands high, and some found a place to hide, and the battle was completely one-sided slaughter.
