Although there is a town word in the town of Xiejia, it is a little bigger than the small county town of Shandong Zhili, although there are not many people along the way, but there are many restaurants, shops and chess cloth, inside and outside are revealing the vigor of prosperity, everyone is more and more surprised, I didn't expect such an inconspicuous town to be so prosperous, the prosperity of Gaoyou is even more imaginable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just when these people were dazed and intoxicated by the wealth of Huaiyang, suddenly the restaurants and shops closed one after another, and it rustled like rain. Immediately afterwards, countless strong men dressed as people appeared on the rooftops of the town, holding rifles and shooting at the commander of the Third Beiyang Division.

Wu Peifu was taken aback, and immediately ordered all the officers and men of the Third Beiyang Division to quickly get out of the town while counterattacking, the quality of these officers and soldiers was really good, as soon as they received Wu Peifu's order, they immediately took action, without any delay, but unfortunately people are not as good as the sky, and when they arrived, the town gate of the town was quietly closed in their eyes.

The town gate was closed, but the gunfire of the strong man on the roof did not pause, but this Wu Peifu was also a veteran of the battlefield, and when he saw the town gate closed, he immediately ordered Zhang Fulai to throw the fifth brigade to counterattack the strong man on the town's residence. At the same time, the third artillery regiment was mobilized, set up artillery, and fired artillery on the town gate and the roof of the strong man to counterattack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, all the artillery teams aimed at the town gate together, and after a few sounds, the town gate fell, who knew that as soon as the town gate opened, several machine guns started a fire, like a number of fire dragons, almost instantly killed the officers and soldiers of the third division who rushed over.

Wu Peifu said: "Cavalry regiment, charge me!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhuozhai, the commander of the third cavalry regiment, gave an order, and rushed over with his cavalry, and several machine guns at the town gate were quickly scattered by the cavalry, and the officers and soldiers of the third division immediately rushed over with Wu Peifu with a cheer. Who knows how long he hadn't left the town yet, when he heard several loud bangs, and countless officers and soldiers were blown into the sky. Wu Peifu was shocked and immediately ordered to retreat to the town.

This third division is really strong, and after being hit so hard, it is still tough, and it fights with the other party while retreating! At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound of "rebellion" behind them, and then almost a brigade of cavalry rushed over under the cover of artillery fire, driving the newly deployed Third Division out of the town again.

Outside the town, dozens of machine guns were fired without money, and the names of the officers and soldiers of the Third Division were harvested like straw!

Zhang Fulai was covered in blood, came to Wu Peifu, and said: "Brother, there is a Leichi machine gun in front and a cavalry in the back, what should I do now!" ”

Wu Peifu wiped the sweat and blood on the class, sighed and said, "Now that the matter is over, I can only admit it!" Then he fought and shouted loudly outside: "Please make the patrol make Lord Chang come out and speak!" ”

After speaking, he found that his voice was too small, and it couldn't be transmitted at all in this rain of bullets, he waved his hand, asked the people around him to put down their weapons, and shouted with him, and sure enough, as soon as the shout came out, the cavalry brigade of the rebel army heard the shout, and saw that the third division also gave up resistance, and immediately accepted it when it was good, and retreated, but it retained a shock position. The sound of machine guns and artillery outside also stopped.

Soon, the cavalry brigade came over with Chang Zhenbang, Chang Zhenbang dismounted, looked at the disabled Third Division all over the ground with a smile, and said with a faint smile: "The Third Division is really a strong division, it has withstood such a fierce attack, and it can still stand, it is really a model for the army in the world!" ”

Wu Peifu glanced at this young man who was about to do his best than himself, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm sick and can't come to Jiangsu to take office." It's really a shame to the central government and the third master! ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "The moon is cloudy and sunny, people are born, old, sick and die, it is inevitable, General Peifu, it is not easy for you to drag the sick body thousands of miles to Yangzhou." This spirit alone makes the official ashamed of himself. ”

Wu Peifu said: "Chang Daren is so generous, he can use such a prosperous town as a chessboard, and the foolish brother is ashamed of himself." ”

Chang Zhenbang listened to it, laughed and said: "There are means to kill chickens, and there are skills to kill dragons, what kind of person is Brother Wu, the younger brother feels that this town is a little small and a little wronged Brother Wu, I was going to use Yangzhou, which is known as the world of ten miles of flowers, but unfortunately the little brother came in a hurry, and he went in a hurry, so I had to wronged Brother Wu in this Jiejia Town, and I hope that the brother will not be strange!" ”

Wu Peifu smiled slightly, and said very respectfully: "Don't blame, don't blame, I admire this time that I am sick and weak, and I am so overwhelmed that I have lived up to the expectations of the central government and Premier Duan's high expectations, but I promise you for my brother, as long as my brother is well, how about coming to Jiangsu to play with Brother Zhenbang again?" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled: "Very good! So much better! So the brother is waiting for Brother Peifu? After speaking, he waved his hand to let the cavalry brigade behind him get out of the way, Wu Peifu smiled slightly, arched his hand to Chang Zhenbang, and then took the remaining remnants of the third division to the defeated general and turned back to the town, Chang Zhenbang instructed Chen Jiongming to count the casualties, and asked people to send a lot of medical supplies to Wu Peifu, Wu Peifu was also very bright at this time, rewarded the sergeant who came to deliver medicine and bandages, and left all the baggage to Chang Zhenbang when he left, and transferred to Anhui to make a train back to Zhili.

When the considerable report of casualties on both sides was sent to Chang Zhenbang, Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but be surprised, this Beiyang Third Division is really strong, don't look at the town is so lively, the sound of guns and cannons continues, and it is a sneak attack while people are unprepared, just like that, the casualties of the Beiyang Third Division are less than one-third, and the casualties of the Guards Brigade of the Sniper Third Division and the Guangdong First Division who were ordered to come are miserable, take the Guards Brigade as an example, it can be regarded as the most elite unit in Chang Zhenbang's hands, and he has fought a lot of tough battles with him. Emerged in the Battle of Shanghai, and the Battle of Xiamen was even more famous all over the world, but after this ambush battle, the casualties of the Guards Brigade were more than one-third, and then look at Chen Jiongming's Guangdong First Division, the casualties of the new formation and new training were less than a quarter, and I couldn't understand that the army was newly formed, and what was even more annoying was that after comparing the casualties of the two pairs of battles, I suddenly found that my long-planned plan was a heavy ambush of two divisions, and it was a draw with the Beiyang Third Division, although the casualty rate was the same, But the strength of other people's troops is only half of their own, or they were sneak attacked, and I really don't understand who lost and who won the battle, but fortunately, Wu Peifu's soldiers retreated and withdrew from Jiangsu, otherwise they would really hold on, and they would have to throw in at least two divisions to get the division in Wu Peifu's hands, so that a third division of Beiyang would be thrown into at least five of their main divisions. What is the concept of five divisions, Jiangxi is its own base camp, except for the Beiyang Sixth Division, there are only four divisions and regiments when it is full. And Guangdong's own troops don't even have five divisions, and Fujian is a mixed place, not to mention it! And Cao Kun's side has at least two regular divisions and five mixed brigades, if the two sides really have a fierce battle face to face, it will not take five days for his side to collapse on the whole line, and it seems that he will start to refine his army. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Jiongming, thinking that this man's soldier strategy is one aspect, and this training of soldiers and horses is really good, otherwise it would not have been a new division to fight the Beiyang Third Division, and the casualties were less than a quarter.

"Division Commander Chen, the quality of the new 1st Division in Guangdong is good, especially in this ambush battle! The official was very pleased. Chang Zhenbang glanced at Chen Jiongming and said with great appreciation.

Chen Jiongming shook his head regretfully, and said: "This battle damage is worse than it really is, if it is a narrow encounter with the Beiyang Third Division, it is still good, but it is a pity that a premeditated ambush battle turned out to be like this, it is really embarrassing!" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "Brother Chen, this officer's guard brigade is also battle-hardened, but unfortunately it is still seriously damaged, this Beiyang Third Division is really a rare strong enemy in this officer's life." ”

Chen Jiongming said contemptuously: "Wu Peifu's third division is something, Yuan Datou's army was only powerful back then, one of his divisions can easily defeat the strength of a province, don't look at our Guangdong division is stronger than your guard brigade, but the Guangdong division together can't beat a Beiyang division in Yuan Datou's hands, and it can also ensure that the battle loss of this Beiyang division does not exceed one-tenth." It can only be said that the current Beiyang Division is really inferior to the next generation. ”

Chang Zhenbang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, thinking that when Emperor Hong Xian was a scholar, an unarmed soldier as a post flying across the sea, he could supervise the country and North Korea, teasing Dongying, after returning to China, the small station training is only 6,000, why bother with those who fly Huang Tengda, it is really a person of great talent, but no matter how heroic you are, you can't stop the torrent of the times, if he is not called the emperor, maybe China will be a hundred times stronger than now.

"Go to a big enemy for Dongying, and watch China rebuild the republic!" Chang Zhenbang said lightly sadly: "It's a pity that there is no Yuan Hongxian in the world!" ”

Chen Jiongming said: "It is not a pity to die if you call the emperor Jianhao!" But in terms of martial arts, he is also the number one person in China! ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Today's battle, although the victory is particularly shameful, the combat strength of the southeastern armies is too poor to cope with the next war, Brother Chen, this official appoints you as the Guangdong military training ambassador, gather the three provincial training envoys Zhang Youhua, and quickly organize and refine the three Guangdong divisions for the official!" You will be the commander of the Guangdong Army and control the three divisions of Guangdong! ”

Chen Jiongming glanced at Chang Zhenbang and said, "My lord said that such a heavy army was handed over to me, are you not afraid that I will support the army and respect myself?" ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said: "If even an excellent general who controls three divisions and regiments can't tolerate it, how can this official stick to the southeast and rebel against the world?" Besides, this is what the official promised you before, so naturally you have to do it! If you really do the opposite, I don't have the ability! ”

Chen Jiongming said: "If this is the case, Jiongming is willing to try one or two!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "This officer hopes that these three Guangdong divisions will reach the combat strength of today's Guangdong First Division!" ”

Chen Jiongming said: "This is natural, if the army is not fine, it will harm the people and lose money!" Adults can rest assured. ”

After Chang Zhenbang finalized Chen Jiongming's military training, he immediately returned to Guangzhou under the cover of the Guangdong Navy, and the next day sent a telegram to Nanchang and Quanzhou, appointing Li Tingyu as Jiangxi's military training envoy, Tang Guomo, and Lu Yongxiang as Fujian's military training envoys, and the deputy envoy asked the three of them to inspect the divisions, brigades, and regiments of the provinces where they were located, to dismiss the old, weak, sick and disabled, and to refine the good soldiers who were in the prime of life, and to ensure that the combat strength of the corps in their provinces should reach or close to the combat strength of the Beiyang Division. The elite movement in Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces has been vigorously launched, but it is easy to dismiss those who are not qualified, and it is not an easy thing to refine the soldiers, so the elite movement has become a military reduction movement in the eyes of many well-intentioned people.
