Chapter 86: The War in Shaanxi (1)

Although the revolutionary spirit brought by Sun Yat-sen's return to China greatly boosted the confidence of the revolutionaries for a time, compared with the people's army that was still holding on to the Qing army in various places, the revolutionary spirit was far less real than that of guns, ammunition, and the ocean. As for the www.biquge.info of the Han army in Shaanxi and the Qing army, even the revolutionary spirit has not been experienced for a while.

In view of the grim situation of the Qing army's joint attack on the east and west, although the military government has deployed two groups of men and horses to resist, the situation is really not optimistic.

On the battlefield of the West Road, after Wan Bingnan, the deputy commander of the Han army of Qin Longxing, led his men and horses into Fengxiang, he sent two battalions to be stationed in Changwu County and Pizhou respectively to control the main road from Gansu to Shaanxi, so as to prevent the Qing army from Gansu from entering Shaanxi.

Frankly speaking, Wan Bingnan, although he can't be said to be a straw bag, he is far from being a real general. In his early years, this person roamed the rivers and lakes, joined the Elders' Association, and had a lot of influence in the gang, and later entered the Shaanxi Mixed Association as a soldier and served as a Zhengmu. After the Xi'an Uprising, the Brotherhood was one of the main forces of the People's Army, and Wan Bingnan, who had a huge influence in it, once competed with Zhang Yunshan, who was also from the same background, for the post of commander of the military government. Although in the end, after some secret competition, he could only succumb to the position of deputy commander, but he was not convinced that it was certain.

Then, it happened that the 20th battalion of the Gan army, the commander of the Manchu Shaanxi governor Shengyun, attacked Shaanxi in two ways, and Wan Bingnan, who was frustrated in the competition for the post of commander, took the initiative to ask for his life in this situation and rushed to Fengxiang to supervise the division to counterattack the Gan army.

Although Wan Bingnan has the experience of serving in the new army, as a regular officer, the lowest level of the army, he has very little military quality, let alone the experience of commanding a large corps in combat. Coupled with his gang background, the army he commanded was mostly composed of members of the Elders' Association, and the army was cronyistic, reckless, poorly equipped, and lacked formal military training. It was too reluctant to use them to resist the Qing army in Gansu.

Since Wan Bingnanxi went to supervise the division, he sent his own right-hand man Shi Desheng to lead a battalion to confront the Gan army in Jingchuan Yaodian in Changwu County, at the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu. No one could have imagined that in such a tense situation, Shi Desheng, the leader from the Elders' Association, still had the mind to be busy with a wedding banquet and marry the bride. The next thing was very simple, the Gan army stationed on the opposite side got the news, and under the leadership of its commander Ma Zhouren, there was only one surprise attack, Changwu was declared lost, and Shi Desheng himself was killed in battle.

Many people may not understand Shi Desheng's approach, but in fact, Shi Desheng's idea represented the thoughts of the majority of the members of the Brotherhood at that time. The master played with the Manchu Tartars a few days ago, and now that the Tartars have been eliminated, it's time to enjoy it.

After the success of the uprising, the leaders of the Church of the Elders often became entangled with the junta over their own status. Although the members of the Brotherhood were extremely brave in fighting the Qing army, they were a gang organization that lacked revolutionary ideology and strict discipline. It was not until the military government held a general meeting and announced the establishment of six governors, and the leaders of the Elders' Council had positions, that it stopped.

After Changwu was occupied by the Qing army, the governor of Shaanxi, Shengyun, immediately commanded the Qing army in Gansu to move south from Pingliang. The revolutionary army stationed in Pizhou and other places, like the Changwu defenders, was either from the gang forces or newly recruited soldiers, while the Qing army in Gansu was mostly ** cavalry, with a strong lineup, well-equipped, and combat experience. After the revolutionary party retreated all the way to the city of Qianzhou, it stabilized its position under the command of Zhang Yunshan, the new envoy of the West Road.

Zhang Yunshan, who is also from the Elder Brotherhood, is much stronger than Wan Bingnan, but that's it. After resting in Qianzhou, the revolutionary army, which had restored its military appearance, went north to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army under the personal leadership of Zhang Yunshan, all the way to Yongshou and other places. However, they did not want to be attacked by the Qing army ambushed here in Changwu, and the revolutionary army, which fell into passive casualties, retreated one after another, all the way to Qianzhou, closed the city gate, and defended with all its might. After the victory, the Qing army, under the command of Shengyun, soon advanced to Qianzhou.

The Gan army Cui Zhengwu Department that attacked on the other way, after passing through Qianyang, also quickly attacked Fengxiang, and led more than ten battalions to resist Wan Bingnan, who ended in defeat without accident, and Wan Bingnan, who was helpless, could only ask for help from Xi'an. What is different from the history of parallel time and space is that Zhang Fenghui, the commander of the Han army of Qin Longxing at this time, did not send the "daring army" of Wang Ronglin and Cao Yinhou to reinforce it. Because at this time, he had already received a telegram from the 12th Regiment of the 4th Division, the advance force of the 4th Division, which had been sent by Sichuan to aid Shaanxi, and they had arrived near Fengxiang.

After half a month's journey, the soldiers of the 12th Regiment were still full of spirit and high morale. Zhao Fuxiang, who was standing on a hillside on the side of the road, looked at the soldiers passing by under his feet and nodded with satisfaction. Zhao Fuxiang, who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, died young in another time and space before he could bloom his talent. It's just that the fate of many people in this time and space has been changed by Xiao Mubai, a little butterfly.

When the 12th Regiment came to Fengxiang, Wan Bingnan, who had already received the news, came to greet him in person. Wan Bingnan was vehemently opposed to the military government's request for help from Sichuan, and he was still very reluctant in his heart. In his opinion, these people came to snatch the country that their brothers fought so hard for, but the current situation is like this, and he is losing a series of battles, so he really has no strength to oppose it.

Even though he didn't want to do anything in his heart, he usually regarded himself as a person from the rivers and lakes, and at this time, when the Sichuan Revolutionary Army came to help, he was not good at losing face in front of outsiders. Therefore, I can only keep my dissatisfaction in my heart. Children of the rivers and lakes, the word righteousness is the first, and face is more important. Seeing the oncoming Zhao Fuxiang, Wan Bingnan put on the most enthusiastic smile and walked forward quickly.

Walking in the forefront is of course the regiment commander Zhao Fuxiang, after the guidance of the liaison officer beside him, he saw Wan Bingnan and came forward to salute: "The 12th Regiment of the Fourth Infantry Division of the Revolutionary Army, the regiment commander Zhao Fuxiang, was ordered to lead his troops to come to reinforcements, please ask Commander Wan for instructions." ”

Seeing Zhao Fuxiang who gave a new-style military salute to himself, Wan Bingnan learned the same way without embarrassment, and according to his idea, he was going to bow his hand. For Zhao Fuxiang calling him the commander just now, Wan Bingnan was very satisfied when he arrived. Wan Bingnan stepped forward, took Zhao Fuxiang's hand and said, "Fuxiang, I finally looked forward to you." "I'm talking. Suddenly remembering the sound of gunfire in the distance, Wan Bingnan paused and said, "It's a small force of Tartars." ”

"Commander Wan, our twelve regiments are going to fight!" Zhao Fuxiang immediately said in awe.

Wan Bingnan looked very polite, and said with a smile: "Why should Regiment Commander Zhao be in such a hurry, your troops must be extremely tired after marching all the way, and it is not too late to wait for two days to rest and then go to the front line." "Anyway, these people also came to support him, and the corresponding face kung fu Wan Bingnan did a full job.

Hearing Wan Bingnan's words, Zhao Fuxiang had a little more affection for the person in front of him, of course, it was just a little bit. However, as a soldier, he still understands the truth that if you lose, you won't lose the battle, and immediately said that he could go to the battlefield at any time.

Speaking of which, Wan Bingnan doesn't want to persuade anything anymore, since you yourself are in such a hurry to go to the battlefield and die desperately, I don't have to stop it, as a landlord, I have said what I should say, and what I should do is also preparing accordingly. In an instant, he suddenly felt a little happy, now that there is such a group of people rushing to the front line, then his brothers don't have to fight so desperately, Gan Jun's horse team is really difficult to deal with.

Thinking about it like this, Wan Bingnan couldn't care about being polite: "It's okay, the front is the time to use troops, so I'm not welcome." It's just that it's dark tonight, so your unit will rest here for the night, and wait for tomorrow to be at dawn, and then rush to the front line. ”

As soon as these words came out, as if he was afraid that Zhao Fuxiang would regret it, Wan Bingnan immediately said goodbye and left.

Looking at Wan Bingnan who was leaving, Zhao Fuxiang was a little dumbfounded, he hadn't allocated a station for himself yet, why did he just leave? Isn't there a good attitude in front, why did it suddenly become lukewarm, Zhao Fuxiang shook his head slowly. In this way, Zhao Fuxiang's goodwill towards Wan Bingnan that he had just established was fleeting.
