Chapter 357: The Battle of Hebi

Liu Mengeng drove back to Baoding overnight, Wu Peifu received that the negotiations were invalid, and immediately went to the front line, commanding the Beiyang Third Division, the Beiyang Twenty-third Division, and the Beiyang Twenty-fourth Division in Hebi to attack Ni Sichong's Anwu Army. Have you ever been scared by others? Encountering such a strong opponent as the Anwu Army, the officers and soldiers of the Third Division of Beiyang faintly had a kind of excitement, many grassroots officers and soldiers simply rolled up their sleeves and had a good time catching up with the Anwu Army, Wu Peifu found this kind of sign when he inspected the battlefield, he was taken aback, he was born in the Dongying Non-commissioned Officer School, and naturally knew the fundamental gap between the current army and the ancient army, this excitement may be able to confront the Anwu Army for a while, but it is the courage of the ancient army, if this sentiment is allowed to develop, What about An Wuna, who defeated Ni Sichong in time? It's just that a new-style army that does not respect personal martial arts and courage has been transformed into an old-style army with no organization at all, in that case, this Ni Sichong is really ruined, thinking of this, he accelerated the speed of patrolling the battlefield, and after personally shooting a few regimental battalion commanders who ignored organizational discipline and fought with the Anwu Army, finally after obtaining a temporary suppression of the place, he used the charge of the 23rd Division and the 24th Division to pull the entire Beiyang 3rd Division back from the front line, while commanding the 23rd Division, When the 24th Division was entangled with the Anwu Army, he once again gathered together the officers of the 3rd Division at and above the battalion level, reiterated in detail and again the army's views on organizational discipline and individual martial arts, and demanded that all officers should put obedience to organizational discipline above all officers in their personal martial arts, and at the same time set an example, Wu Peifu went so far as to ignore the request of the officers and once again punished several officers who ignored discipline by dismissal and demotion. Immediately, he personally led the Beiyang Third Division like a sharp saber to split the Anwu Army, which was entangled with the Beiyang 23rd Division and the 24th Division, into two, forming two encirclements with the Beiyang 3rd Division as the central backbone, the 23rd Division as the left flank, and the 24th Division as the right flank.

Although the Anwu Army is fierce, the quality of the soldiers is not much better than the Beiyang Third Division, but it is an old-fashioned army dressed in modern military uniforms, and the entire huge group is not formed in accordance with the organizational framework of the current military organization divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies, but follows the battalion system of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang's era, and the entire army is divided into 80 battalions, with an armed force of more than 50,000 people. There will always be some problems in organization and scheduling to a greater or lesser extent, such as Wu Peifu's division of troops to attack, once the policy of focusing on encirclement has achieved initial results, the Anwu army has been divided into two, the dispatch is not timely enough, the degree of organization is not high, and the battalion commanders have no leader and can only fight on their own, and often fall apart after a little resistance.

After a bloody battle, Ni Yudi rushed to Ni Sichong in embarrassment, and said: "Big brother, Wang Pu's side can't be contacted without us, if we don't think about it quickly, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out here!" ”

He is the younger brother of Ni Sichong, known as the third general is the lieutenant general of the Republic of China, and he is also the envoy of Anhui Northern Anhui Town, and he is also the commander of the Anwu Army. In Anhui, his brother Ni Sichong is the emperor, then he is the emperor's brother-in-general, after the Anhui War, Ni Sichong's position of overseer was given to him, in fact, it was also in the hands of Ni Sichong, the two brothers saw that Chang Zhenbang just let the brothers change positions, as for the other Anhui civil and military officials and the officials of the Anwu army did not move, naturally they were grateful to Dade, and quickly changed from the Anhui system to the Jiangxi department, and even sent their little niece to the southeast economic envoy Yamen, handed over to Mrs. Lu Xiaozhu for discipline. As for Wang Pu mentioned in his words, he is Ni Sichong's son-in-law, and now he is the envoy of southern Anhui and the governor of Anhui Province, although there is the word Ni in his name, but he can also rank in the top three in a word, because he is from a military academy, he can be said to be the only talent who can handle the Anwu Army in military terms, and Ni Jinyong and others who are trained by Ni Sichong are much stronger.

Ni Si said: "What are the third children afraid of!" We haven't seen any battles, how can we capsize in this little ditch? The brothers rushed to Lao Tzu, and their achievements were in the near future. With the heroic voice of the old marshal, the Anwu army trapped on the left flank once again burst out of the momentum of the violent tiger Feng He, like a hungry tiger pounced on the wooden fence that trapped him, even if he may not be able to get out, he can also smash one or two wooden stakes, the third division of Beiyang is the master who has seen the big formation, and he is naturally not afraid, but the 23rd division of Beiyang is just newly promoted from the first brigade of the mixed division of Zhili to the division, and the combat effectiveness is not enough than the above. Anyway, if you fight with the wind, it can be considered a good job, but now in the face of the impact of the Anwu army, many recruits saw the eggs, and their legs immediately softened, and they were picked up by those who rushed over. On the contrary, he showed a look of despair that was even more desperate than being caught up by the Anwu army mob.

If you don't die in the army, you will die under military law!

This is the motto of Wu Peifu's army.

There are many people who say this, but he is one of the few people who does what he says. I saw that he didn't say anything, and let the overseers behind him slaughter those who had deserted like a harvester, these people may have been brothers or even brothers before, but now they are their enemies, if they can't kill them, someone will kill themselves, and it is ruthless with military law that there is no mercy.

The bloodshed of the Overseer team greatly deterred those deserted recruits, and since they were all dead, they had no choice but to rush over with those veterans, hoping that they would not become a coward in the mouths of others when they died!

The momentum of these people may not be as good as or may not be comparable to these old fritters of An Wujun, but they have no way to retreat, but they have never had the courage to do so, coupled with Wu Peifu's proper command, they led people to fill the gap in time, and once again locked the restless tiger of An Wujun in a cage.

"Big brother, my brother gave up this life, and I want to keep you safe and sound and return to Anhui!" Ni Yuqi said.

Ni Sichong said: "Brother Wei is the commander of the Anwu Army, and he is also the brother of your compatriot. In public and private, there is no rule to abandon your escape. ”

Ni Yudi whimpered and said: "Big brother, this time is different from the past, I Ni Yudi will not worry if I die, and I will follow my eldest brother to fight the world in 20 years, but the eldest brother's golden body is easy to miss, as long as you go back, even if our Anwu Army is defeated, it is nothing, if you stay here, our Anwu Army will be defeated, and it will never be recovered." ”

Ni Sichong sighed and said, "Third child, you ...... I ......"

Just when he was in a hurry, Ni Yuqi immediately gave Ni Sichong a look at the horses behind him, these people should basically understand, and without saying anything, Ni Sichong caught Ni Sichong on the horse, and at the same time, Ni Yutong shouted loudly and ordered to gather the existing troops in his hands again, and launched a desperate charge towards a weakly protected place of the Wu army, and those horses took the opportunity to support Ni Sichong and fled. However, all this was seen by Wu Peifu with a telescope, he immediately mobilized the relevant troops to supplement the closer, and cast a small encirclement in the large encirclement, Ni Yudi watched the brothers in front of him fall one by one, and also knew that there was no hope of counterattacking at this time, there was no way to escape, and he really became a turtle in Wengzhong, although he had already had the ideological preparation that the crockpot would not leave the well, and the general would not sleep on the battlefield, when all this came, he couldn't help but feel sad and tears
