Chapter 374: The Great War of Zhifeng

After the peace talks between Zhijiang and Jiangxi, the large and small wars in Central China have come to an end, Wu Peifu only took less than two days to repair and reorganize outside Luoyin City, and then escorted some of the grain and silver dollars sent from Tang Baichuan, officially left Luoyin, and went to the north of the direct line to beckon Zhang Zuolin to fight against Zhang Zuolin in the northeast, and he was also passed by Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong army, this army has been reduced from tens of thousands of troops to a backbone of more than 4,000 people, which can be said to be reborn and has a certain combat capability. This Liu Zhenhua originally planned to return to his base camp in western Henan when Wu Peifu left Luoyin, who knows how much effort it will be, Sun Chuanfang, the overseer of Shaanxi, has infiltrated the power to the border of western Henan, and appointed Feng Yuxiang of the Beiyang 16th Mixed Brigade as the envoy of the town of western Henan, Liu Zhenhua, who was occupied by others, was on fire at that time, and he was going to fight with the other party with the Zhensong army, Wu Peifu didn't stop him, but said lightly: "Brother, you have to go, brother will never stop you, but who is Sun Chuanfang?" When our brothers were fighting in central China and southeast, they had already sent troops to pacify the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, won over the five horses in the northwest, and had become the king of the northwest. Are you still fighting with others with this little soldier? It's better to follow your brother to the north to make a contribution, and you must have a position as a town guard. ”

"Everything is done according to the will of the marshal."

Liu Zhenhua also knew that his arms couldn't reach his thighs, so he relied on this bit of people in his hands, if he really ran into Sun Chuanfang, even Feng Yuxiang would be enough to drink a pot by himself, and he was careless, and he was actually taken advantage of by Sun Chuanfang, it was really hateful, hateful, but it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let's ride a donkey and read the record book and see.

"By the way, where did Bi Biankang go?"

"When the marshal and the Southeast Guards Division were fighting, Bi Biankang and Zhang Fakui had already gone south to Xinyang, wanting to help Xiao Yaonan, but that Zhang Youhua was cunning and abnormal, solid as an old turtle, but the two divisions had already withdrawn south with Xiao Yaonan's 25th Division to Hubei!"

"Hubei?" Wu Peifu muttered a few times and couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Jincheng couldn't help but ask, "Why is the big handsome laughing?" ”

Wu Peifu said: "Bi Biankang is also done, it is definitely not a good thing for this Zhang Fakui to go south to Hubei, and Lao Wang is afraid that he will be in big trouble." ”

Zhou Jincheng's eyes flickered, and he bumped into Liu Zhenhua and said: "Hubei is my direct town, and there is no room for mistakes, and I am willing to go south to Wuchang with General Liu to see Central China for Wang Overseer." Liu Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, then understood, and immediately asked for orders to go south.

"The loyalty of the two generals to the direct lineage, I Wu Peifu appreciate it very much, but Hubei is the place where Lao Wang has been running for most of his life, although it is not said to be solid, but Chang Zhenbang advanced by sea and land, shouting and shouting and killing for more than a month, and only accounting for one-third of Hubei, you two want to go, I will never stop you, but Lao Wang's temper has come up, and I can't persuade him."

What do these two people want to do in their hearts, Wu Peifu is clear in his heart, these things want to be divided from one side and claim hegemony, and he doesn't weigh how many catties and taels he has, if it weren't for the Northeast Army entering the customs and a big war is imminent, he is too lazy to care, otherwise according to his temperament, he would have killed these two rabbit cubs a long time ago.

At the beginning, Wang Zhanyuan and Li Chun's big war, it was quite a sensation, as the southeast boss Chang Zhenbang in order to insert his own people into Hubei, can be described as elite preparation, sea and land together, what Jiangxi Li Tingyu, what guard division, what southeast navy, almost all the southeast can mobilize the force, even in time this only occupies a part of the southeast of Hubei, it can be seen how powerful this Wang Zhanyuan is, not to mention that his general Sun Chuanfang has now become the king of the northwest, and now I am afraid that the southeast will have to retreat three points, Especially Zhou Jincheng and Liu Zhenhua, can these people play? The more the two of them thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out on their bodies, and finally they all shook their heads and said: "If there is something on the side of the old Wang overseer, there will be Sun Chuanfang, the overseer of Shaanxi, to take care of it, and the lowly ones should stay under the command of the marshal, fight against the horse bandits, and defend the country!" ”

Wu Peifu smiled and said: "Our direct line has clear rewards and punishments, as long as you are willing to do it, let alone the town guard, it is not hopeless for a provincial overseer." ”

"Xie Dashuai carry!" Liu Zhenhua and Zhou Jincheng looked at each other and smiled, and said loudly.

After Wu Peifu solved the ideological problems of Zhou Jincheng and Liu Zhenhua, the speed of the new army was significantly accelerated, and when it entered Puyang, Cao Kun and Cao Sanye had already sent people to send detailed battle conditions.

Central China War, don't look at Chang Zhenbang and Wu Peifu have used their strength to eat, but no one has made a big noise, just silently threw off their arms to kill people and fight for territory, even if Liu Zhenhua, Bi Biankang and even Zhang Fakui and others made such a big fuss, but the main owner did not speak, did not express his position, no matter how these people made trouble, they could only be regarded as a monkey show, which can be described as thunder and rain. This made Sun Monkey in the southwest and Zhang Zuolin in the northeast itch very much in his heart, but he could only stare dryly. However, no matter which Sun Monkey in the southwest, after Zhang Fakui sent a telegram of Zhang Fakui, Bi Biankang, and Liu Zhenhua in Shaanzhou, Sun Monkey found Lu Rongting, Tang Jiyao came to discuss the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition, and the three discussed for a long time and finally announced that Tang Jiyao would send troops to Hunan, and Lu Rongting would send troops to Guangdong, and the two sides would return to Nanchang to capture Jiangsu and Zhejiang respectively, and finally settle down on Nanjing and establish the Nanjing government again. The concern about the large number of soldiers in the southeast was also relieved and collapsed under the guarantee that the consul general of Dongying in Kunming patted his chest and promised that the Great Dongying Empire would send troops if necessary.

Zhang Zuolin didn't dare to be so shameless, but the hard work paid off, and finally let him grab the pigtail of the direct line, and under the pretext that the cabinet was overly disrespected, he was determined to turn straight by force, and renamed the Northeast Army as the Zhenwei Army, sent troops to Shanhaiguan, and went to the army grain city nine days later, and issued a general attack order to the troops on the same day, at this time Wu Peifu also led the army to Baoding, and the two armies broke out in Changxindian, Gu'an, and Machang one after another. Wu Peifu personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, and ordered the Beiyang Third Division to return to the flank of the Zhenwei army under the cover of the artillery unit, and suddenly launched an attack, and the Zhenwei army was defeated by the enemy on its back. Soon, Tang Yulin, the commander of Outer Mongolia, led the original border guards to defect, and the Zhenwei army collapsed along the way.

Then, after Wu Peifu got the grand strategic intention of the Zhenwei army to outflank the south of Baoding Mansion along the Jinpu Road, he immediately transferred the Zhenwei army and Liu Zhenhua's troops to sabotage the railway trunk line along the way, which greatly hindered the southward speed of the Zhenwei army, and also indirectly hindered the cooperation of all departments of the Zhenwei army, and hit the superior forces in Dezhou to stubbornly block the southward Zhenwei army, and at the same time let the 29th Division of the East Road Zhou Jincheng take the initiative to flank and provoke the southward Feng army, and then defeated, lured the Zhenwei army to abandon its original strategic intentions, changed the large outflanking to a small outflanking, and instead attacked the eastern part of Baoding, and as a result, stepped into the minefield arranged by Wu Peifu in advance.

The commander of the Wei army in this road town is to follow Zhang Zuolin to fight the old green forest of the country, no other ability, just know that the soft is afraid of the hard, the hard is afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal is afraid of the stunned, the leng is afraid of the dying, it is good not to meet the opponent, it is okay to fight desperately if you meet anything, to deal with the bandits, if you meet the regular army, it is not enough to see, and he is unlucky, this week Jin Chengbu and it are half a catty, the old brother sees that his army is okay, just chase it, anyway, starve to death the timid, support the bold, if this merit is obtained, What's the matter, Zhang Dashuai can't treat the old brother badly, right? Thinking of this, he simply took the lead and chased after him, and when he arrived at the wrong place, it was still too late, and he used his flesh and blood to blindly attack the modern position set up by Wu Peifu with mines, barbed wire grids, heavy machine guns and artillery support, and the consequences were naturally conceivable, that is, Wu Peifu saw the battlefield of dead and wounded after the incident, and he also felt worthless for these young lives.

The use of the mine array greatly preserved the living force in Wu Peifu's hands, but it also made the Zhenwei army suffer, those old green forests who didn't even bother to learn in one or two one steps, how could they have seen such foreign things, the middle and west roads were also defeated by Wu Peifu's provocation and deception, and the onslaught on the mine array made Wu Peifu take advantage of it effortlessly.

But there is a good saying, the world will report quickly. When Wu Peifu defended and attacked, he was actually pitted by the mine array laid by Zhang Xueliang in the same way, which really made Wu Peifu can't help but look at this lazy junior. The battle of Zhifeng finally came to an end in the sound of each other's mines, Wu Peifu asked Cao Kun to manipulate President Xu Shichang to order the dismissal of Zhang Zuolin's patrol envoy in the three eastern provinces, and all the envoys of the Manchurian and Mongolian scriptures, in a vain attempt to cause civil strife in the Northeast Army. At this time, the red Russia in the north finally stabilized, and there was an intention to annex Manchuria, and President Xu Shichang immediately ordered the Northeast Army to be encircled and intercepted, and Tang Yulin, who had used all kinds of means, immediately joined Kulun, and Tang Yulin also knew that if he was chasing after him at this time, he would commit a public taboo, so he had to give up ruthlessly.

Soon after, the representatives of the two sides signed an armistice treaty with the British warship Kerlius off the coast of Qinhuangdao, with Yuguan and Shanhaiguan as the dividing line between the two armies, and the Northeast Army was not allowed to station a single soldier within 50 miles of the demarcation line. Subsequently, the Northeast Army withdrew from the Guanwai, and most of the direct troops also withdrew to the original defense, Zhang Zuolin paid 15 million direct oceans, 30 million tons of grain, and asked for it in three years, during which the direct line took over Fengtian, Heilongjiang, Jilin and other northeastern provincial capitals as collateral.

The lively Naobong War is over, whether it is condemnation or applause. Everyone's eyes are once again on the southeast of the ongoing war, which is a little less political, but more intriguing.
