Chapter 103: Cutting the Jinghan Line (Part I)

The Sichuan Army was in Hankou, and the whole Wuhan was in chaos, and the Wuhan officials of the Beiyang family fled north or hid in the concession. The powerful and wealthy businessmen involved in Beiyang were also panicked, for fear that they would be liquidated by the Sichuan army.

As for the ordinary people, whether it is Beiyang or the Sichuan army, they don't have much good feelings and bad feelings for the time being, and most of them watch the excitement. The only thing they prayed for was that shells and bullets would not fall on their heads after the war began.

Hankou, French Concession, Huiyuan Qianzhuang.

The regime change at the top has a great impact on the economy at the bottom, so the Liu family of Huiyuan Qianzhuang is very concerned about the Sichuan army that is about to enter Wuhan.

"Mother, now that I think about it, when I was in Zigui County, those Sichuan troops should have wanted to temporarily control everyone they met along the way, so as to cover up the news of the Sichuan army's march into Hubei. The Sichuan Army's plan to raid Wuhan unknowingly was probably disturbed by us, and now our Liu family is in trouble. It was a young man who spoke, with a look of frustration and chagrin.

If Wang Mo was here, he would definitely recognize that this young boy was the one he met near Zigui County before, facing the gun handle and shouting something like "freedom, rights".

Mrs. Liu glared at her son with hatred, and reprimanded: "Chen'er, you are like this, you panicked when you encountered something, how can you become the pillar of the Liu family in the future and take back control of Huiyuan Bank?" ”

Huiyuan Bank is a Chinese family-owned bank in the United States, and Liu Chen's father, Liu Fuyi, is the founder and controller, but later seems to have clashed with white American forces and was assassinated by gunmen.

After Liu Fuyi's death, Liu Chen's uncles colluded with white forces to seize control of Huiyuan Bank. Thanks to Mrs. Liu's refusal to let her eyebrows, she reached a compromise with the uncles of the Liu family by repeated means, and she returned to China with a pair of children to establish a branch of Huiyuan Bank.

"But what can we do? After the Sichuan army came, we finally spent a lot of money to dredge the relationship between the high-level leaders in Beiyang, which was completely blind. If the people of the Sichuan army resent us for disrupting their plans in Zigui County. Then our Huiyuan Money Village will definitely be struggling in Wuhan in the future. The more Liu Chen spoke, the more depressed he became, as if he had seen the collapse of Huiyuan Bank.

Seeing her son's unsuccessful appearance, Mrs. Liu was really angry and scolded: "Confused! You haven't thought about it. Since we can dredge the relationship between the Beiyang Army, why can't the relationship between the Sichuan Army be dredged? ”

Being reprimanded by Mrs. Liu like this, Liu Chen finally raised his spirit and asked, "If you dredge up the relationship between the Sichuan army, you are a mother." We can't find anyone to introduce, which high-level of the Sichuan army to start with? ”

"Chen'er, in the future, you should pay more attention to everything. When you were in Zigui County that day, didn't you think there was anything special about that young Sichuan army officer? Mrs. Liu asked instructively.

Liu Chen recalled the scene at that time, and then showed a smile and said, "Mother, are you saying that the young Sichuan Army officer is the child of a certain high-ranking Sichuan Army, and we can contact the high-level of the Sichuan Army through him?" ”

Facing her childlike son, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, shook her head and said, "Didn't you notice that those soldiers and officers of the Sichuan Army respected and obeyed that young officer very much? ”

Liu Chen said disapprerovingly: "Because his father is powerful." Of course, those Sichuan soldiers and officers will respect and obey him. ”

Mrs. Liu really wanted to shudder at her son's elm head, but she still held back and explained in detail: "At that time, I heard the soldiers of the Youchuan Army calling him 'young marshal', and he could directly give various combat orders. As soon as he gave the order, a large Sichuan army immediately captured Zigui County, what does this mean? This shows that he is not just the child of a high-ranking figure in the Sichuan Army, he is a senior officer of the Sichuan Army himself! ”

"What?" Liu Chen was extremely shocked by this, "This ...... Is this possible? ”

Immediately, Liu Chen's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said, "If he is really a senior officer of the Sichuan Legion. Wouldn't it be worse if we sinned against him? ”

"Chen'er, we Han people often say that misfortune and fortune are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. This is not unreasonable. Mrs. Liu still looked like a godson, "Although we had a conflict with the young Sichuan army officer, we also happened to rely on him to make amends." As long as the top level of the Sichuan military has foresight and wants to stabilize and develop the economy of the region, they will definitely be able to use us. ”

Mrs. Liu is indeed a heroine, if Wang Mo hears this. Definitely would greatly appreciate.

……

Hankou, Liujiamiao Railway Station.

At this time, the area around Liujiamiao Railway Station was full of soldiers of the Beiyang Army, and even the peripheral areas were crowded with soldiers of the Second Division of the Hubei Army.

People always say that there are many brave people, but there are more than 10,000 soldiers of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army and the 2nd Division of the Hubei Army here, and few of them are bold.

What kind of strength the Sichuan Army has, the soldiers of the two armies have basically seen it, and not many people still have hope for holding the Liujiamiao Railway Station. If it weren't for the bullets of the officers above, I'm afraid that these low-level soldiers who were soldiers just to eat would have deserted a long time ago.

Just when a group of low-level soldiers were worried about their fate, a large group of high-ranking Beiyang officials walked into Liujiamiao Station, led by Duan Zhigui, the commander of the First Army.

"Brigade Commander, the defense of Hankou will be entrusted to you. Don't worry, I will report your merits to the president when I return to Beijing. Duan Zhigui said earnestly, looking like he trusted Luo Enrong.

In this situation, people who don't know the inside story may still think that Duan Zhigui is trusting and reusing Luo Enrong, and they can't imagine that this guy is going to run away.

Yan Enrong knew that he was not qualified to object, and even if he objected, it would be useless, and said expressionlessly: "My lord, please rest assured, even if you fight to the last soldier, you will swear to stick to the Hankou position to the death!" ”

"What can't die, it's serious, it's serious." Duan Zhigui seemed to be very concerned and relieved, he seemed to remember something when he said this, turned his head to adjutant Duan Jianfu and asked, "Jianfu, where is Wang Keqin, didn't I ask you to send someone to bring her along?" ”

At this time, Duan Zhigui was still thinking about the Kunling Wang Keqin who made him feel so amazing, and a trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the Beiyang officers and soldiers around him.

Duan Jianfu said in embarrassment: "My lord, I ...... I've been to her, but ...... But she didn't want to go to Beijing with us. ”

"Then send troops and forcibly bring them!" Duan Zhigui was bent on bringing that extremely beautiful Wang Keqin. It is hoped that this beauty will be sacrificed to win a "dragon smile", so as to avoid him from the responsibility of losing Wuhan and escaping.

Hearing Duan Zhigui's request to send troops to capture him, Duan Jianfu was even more bitter about that face: "My lord, this ......"

"Nothing to do!" Duan Zhigui scolded Duan Jianfu. Then he turned to Luo Enrong and asked, "Brigade Commander, do you see if you can temporarily send a few soldiers......

Before Duan Zhigui's words were finished, he was interrupted by Luo Enrong, whose face was gloomy: "My lord, please forgive me for not being able to obey my fate!" It's wartime. All soldiers are not allowed to leave their combat posts lightly! ”

"You ......" Duan Zhigui is about to attack by virtue of his official position.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-

At this time, the gunshots rang out, Duan Zhigui's face immediately changed greatly, and he said in a panic: "The Sichuan army is coming, hurry, hurry up and start the train!" ”

Duan Zhigui and a group of high-ranking military and political officials of the Beiyang Army were like rabbits with their tails stepped on, and they all squeezed into the train in three steps and two clicks, and the train quickly started and rolled towards the north.

When a chief like Duan Zhigui who can only do bad things leaves, Luo Enrong will not be restrained and can respond to the battle in a more relaxed state.

looked around at the low morale of the soldiers of the Beiyang Army. Knowing that the top priority was to cheer everyone up, he raised his hand and beckoned a few soldiers to bring over three large wooden boxes that he had prepared long ago.

The three large wooden boxes were opened, and suddenly bursts of dazzling silver light burst out from the wooden boxes, flashing so that everyone's eyes almost spent.

Ocean!

The big wooden box was full of white flowers and a shiny ocean!

The Beiyang officers and soldiers around all stared greedily at the three boxes of oceans, and they were reluctant to take their eyes off for a moment.

Whoa-

Yan Enrong grabbed a handful of oceans, and then gradually let go of his hand, and one by one the oceans fell down, colliding with the oceans in the box to create the most pleasant and charming crisp sound in the world.

"Do you want it?" Yan Enrong stepped on the wooden box containing the ocean and said loudly, "Lao Tzu won't play with you. Kill a Sichuan soldier two oceans, and an officer ten oceans. Kill Wang Mo, the young marshal of the Sichuan army, reward 10,000 yuan, and promote the officer to the third level! If you are unfortunate enough to die in battle. Lao Tzu personally delivered the bounty and pension money to your family. Even if Lao Tzu unfortunately died in battle, and the president is behind, he will definitely not lose the brothers' money! ”

Although it is old-fashioned to give rewards to boost morale, the effect is very significant for feudal troops like the Beiyang Army that came from the former Qing Dynasty.

A group of Beiyang officers and soldiers were stimulated by the white flowers and shining ocean in front of them, and they burst out with great courage and ferocity because of greed and desire!

He was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He shouted and asked: "Now, you tell Lao Tzu, do you dare to fight to the death with the Sichuan army?" ”

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

……

With the stimulation of the ocean, Luo Enrong finally boosted the morale of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army.

The officers and men of the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, who finally had a bit of a fighting spirit, began to enter the defensive lines of various positions one after another, actively preparing to meet the approaching Sichuan Army.

"Order, the artillery team is immediately ready for artillery bombardment and waiting for orders!" Yan Enrong quickly ordered again.

It's just the stimulation of the ocean, and Luo Enrong felt that it was not enough, so he thought that it would be better to take advantage of the heavy damage of the Sichuan Army artillery regiment to use the twenty seven-five artillery guns deployed at the station to launch a fierce artillery bombardment of the Sichuan army at the beginning of the war. This can not only hit the Sichuan army, but also greatly boost the morale of the other side.

However, Luo Enrong forgot, or said that there was no way, to boost the morale of the officers and men of the Second Division of the Hubei Army.

After learning that the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army was rewarding money and preparing to fight to the death with the Sichuan Army, the soldiers of the Hubei Army were not affected and cheered up, but their morale was even lower.

As long as they are not the soldiers of the Hubei Army who lack heart, I am afraid they can see that they are pushed to the front by the Beiyang Army as cannon fodder, so how can they still have the idea of fighting to the death with the Sichuan army?

With the approach of the Sichuan Army, many soldiers of the Second Division of the Hubei Army were secretly thinking about how to find an opportunity to take off their military uniforms after the war and hide in the houses of Hankou to save their lives. (To be continued.) )

PS: Let's talk about women's problems, it can be seen that everyone doesn't like to see Miss Lin very much, and prefers a shy and well-behaved Lori Little Red Riding Hood like Miss Lin Er. Hehe, the wild wolf is also one of such "wolf" friends, but there is no comparison to highlight and portray. The wild wolf will be arranged, everyone rest assured.

There will never be too much space to describe women, but it will only appear when it is necessary to promote the plot, and it is a few strokes, and book friends who don't like it can ignore it.
