Chapter 413: Advancing Baoding
When steel turns into tofu, when the flood waves turn into streams, when the mountain peaks turn into particles, when the forest turns into wasteland, the vicissitudes of the sea are all time doing work, no matter how tough it is, it will soften in front of time, nothing can escape the work of time, anger may make time slide for a while, when the angry Cao Shijie impulsed the front of Chang Zhenbang's army, the sharpness of the artillery fire of the southeast army and the tenacity of the soldiers made a layer of respect in addition to the anger, and the two sides were glued like ghosts in hell, crushing one young life after another, The heat of blood is the best color, decorating each other's funerals, the fight of tens of millions of people, the cruelty of life, but also telling the helplessness of the world, this is a grand send-off, death itself sang an elegy, return to the eternity of tranquility, waiting for the next experience of life, when the horns of the charge clashed with each other, stubborn life is like the mud and sand in the long river, when the moment it falls, it becomes fertile soil, and grows out of the strength of life that I don't know why.
Then Wu Peifu's department followed, and the two divisions bravely attacked the defense line formed by the flesh and blood of the Southeast Army, and the powerful offensive made the Southeast Army, which was known as tenacious, unable to bear it, and had to start a step-by-step retreat operation, although Cao Shijie's department especially wanted to take this opportunity to kill the Southeast Army in one fell swoop and not add to avenge their Cao brothers, but they were facing the most elite guard division in the Southeast Army, this army followed Chang Zhenbang from Jiujiang to fight in the south and the north, not to mention anything else, Just with Wu Peifu's elite descendant of the Beiyang Third Division has been hard to fight many times, the actual combat experience is naturally rich, even if it is a retreat, it also shows the old and spicy means, so that the chase comes back to the same price as himself, and after retreating to the second fortification, but a return to the horse gun, with the artillery fire in the fortifications made Cao Shijie's department suffer a big loss, the double copy once again showed a stalemate situation, both copies have no reason to fail, naturally everyone is brave, do not hesitate to die.
Wu Cao's two troops fought desperately with Chang Zhenbang, but Shang Zhen and Feng Yuxiang's descendants followed unhurriedly, running a few steps when charging, and walking a few steps slowly when confronting, there were water dogs who would not let go, but they would not run to the front stupidly, so as to ensure that the casualties of the two divisions were not worse than the fingers of one hand, but a gap that was not far away appeared between them and Cao Wu's division. Just when these people were watching the battle in front of them, and the human head reached the dog's head, Li Tingyu's department galloped from the oblique place like a divine soldier descending from the sky, like a sharp pig-killing knife inserted into it, tearing this gap even bigger, and then squeezed in continuously, dividing the enemy army into two at a very fast speed, Feng Yuxiang's generals were taken aback, and the first thought was to turn around and run away with the troops, but those Shanxi generals were not chaotic in the face of danger, and the attack and defense were moderate, which greatly delayed Li Tingyu's offensive, However, members of Feng Yuxiang's division only knew how to escape, so that even if the Shanxi generals wanted to launch a big attack, they could not stabilize the chaotic military spirit.
"Feng Yuxiang's army has run away, why don't you Shanxi help this time and run away?"
Li Tingyu roared, and the army behind him also roared, and the sound of thousands of people was really shocking, which shocked people from the bottom of their hearts, and many Shanxi soldiers panicked in their hearts, Feng Yuxiang, the master, ran away without care, why did he have to fight to death? As soon as the generals of Shanxi heard the shouts of the Southeast Army, they knew that the general situation had gone, and hurriedly ordered a retreat.
Seeing that the Shanxi army had withdrawn, Li Tingyu shouted again: "Hunt down Feng Yuxiang and let Shanxi go!" ”
It doesn't matter if you shout, Feng Yuxiang is running faster.
Seeing this scene in front of them, Feng Yuxiang and Shang Zhen were both taken aback, Shang Zhen subconsciously rushed forward with the guards behind him, but was pulled by Feng Yuxiang and said, "Brother, what are you doing here?" ”
Shang Zhen said: "Go and reinforce the brothers." ”
Feng Yuxiang said: "This battle has been fought to such a point, why are you doing this, brother?" Why don't you follow your brother, and stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! ”
Shang Zhen sighed and pushed Feng Yuxiang's hand away, and said, "Yan Dujun treats me as a national soldier, and I will repay him as a national soldier!" Saying that, riding forward, Feng Yuxiang sighed and said, "What a hopeless fool!" After speaking, he turned around and left, and those Feng Yuxiang troops saw that he had withdrawn, so they no longer had any scruples to run away.
When the Shanxi army saw Shang Zhen leading the troops back, it was as if there was moonlight in the dark night, and they all had the backbone to move towards him. Li Tingyu saw that Shang Zhen was in danger and was a good man, regardless of his personal life and death, so he rushed forward and said: "Shang Zhen, I know that you are a man, I don't embarrass you, you go back to Shanxi!" ”
Shang Zhen arched his hand and said: "General Ende, Shang Zhen remembers it in his heart, and he will be rewarded for today's things!" After saying that, he turned around and led the Shanxi army to withdraw, and everything will be presented to Yan Dujun as information, and he believes that Yan Dujun will definitely make the right choice.
Killed Feng Yuxiang and Shang Zhen, Li Tingyu turned his head and began to counterattack Wu Jun Cao Jun, just now in order to pursue Feng Yuxiang's department to the greatest extent, he had to divide a part of his forces to defend behind him, at this time there was not much left, only blood can arouse blood, Li Tingyu yelled: "Brothers, seek rebellion for the country and make contributions for yourself!" Come on! ”
The first army in the southeast went bravely, like a sleepy tiger opening its bloody mouth, it was impossible to swallow the life of the Wu army, and the Cao Shijie department at that end also encountered the counter-charge launched by the guard division and Zhao Feilong's department almost at the same time, and was attacked by a strong enemy on both sides, and the anger also turned into panic at this time, at this time, Ye Ji held a wooden stick like a tree branch and commanded more than a dozen loud men of the southeast army to shout: "Cao Shijie was killed by Feng Yuxiang, brothers of the 46th Brigade, you can open your eyes and take a look!" Don't be cannon fodder for the enemy! ”
After shouting a few times, Cao Shijie's resistance turned to ashes, and then Ye Ji waved the wooden stick in his hand sideways, and the big men shouted again: "Brothers, surrender their guns and don't kill, give you food after the battle, and let you go home." ”
After repeating many times, Li Tingyu's side also sounded the slogan of surrendering the gun and not killing, when the fierce battle turned into a one-sided killing, the Wu army, the Cao army in the powerful armed offensive, under the psychological offensive, gradually obscene, and finally most people chose to surrender, when Li Tingyu's army and Chang Zhenbang's army turned, the number of people counted, the casualties in this battle were unprecedented, the casualties in the southeast war were nearly a brigade, and the wounded were more than a division, you must know that these casualties were caused by the two armies before and after, and the combat effectiveness of the Wu army and the Cao army can be seen.
After the surrendered Wu army collected the ordnance, they were escorted to the Xingtai prisoner of war camp and kept in captivity, and when the battle formation was over, they were let go, and those who wanted to continue to join the southeast were pulled to Yuanshi County for reorganization, so as to be used later! As for those people in the 46th Brigade, the treatment of the soldiers was similar to that of Wu Jun, just pulling out the officers one by one, whether they were willing to be reorganized into a company or not, Chang Zhenbang personally went over to comfort him, and said: "Brothers, I will leave you behind, I don't mean anything else, Cao Shijie was not killed by me, when I catch Feng Yuxiang, you personally ask him, as for this period of time, you don't have to fight, just stay here and wait!" ”
When he said this, the middle and lower-level officers who were originally angry and wanted to question Chang Zhenbang were not good at saying anything, especially the southeast official who was responsible for contacting them turned out to be Ye Ji, you think Ye Ji is so powerful this old guy, one mouth doesn't know how many people are flickering about life and death, where can these people withstand his toss, three times five divided by two, they were cleaned up by Ye Ji, and the suspect who killed Cao Shijie turned to Feng Yuxiang without any evidence.
Chang Zhenbang left Zhao Feilong's division to clean up the battlefield and hold the position, and after leading Li Tingyu's army to raid Wu Peifu's middle route army, the middle route army resisted for half an hour and then collapsed.
After hearing that Zhang Youhua's department won a complete victory, Chang Zhenbang immediately launched a general attack on Shimen, and Wu Peifu, who had gone to the general trend, naturally would not fall in love with the war, and after collecting the remnants of the army, he immediately abandoned Shimen North and retreated to Baoding.
The battle of Shimen came to an end
Cai Chengxun army of Xianxian confrontation, Liu Zhenhua army returned to Baoding overnight after hearing the news, He Zonglian's army went north again, but unexpectedly met Jiang Dengxuan's department of the Northeast Army, Li Jinglin's department, the two sides launched a fierce battle, in the case of not being able to win, in the face of a steady stream of morale of the Northeast Army, He Zonglian's army decisively chose a strategic shift, and Chang Zhenbang's army was in Anping County, Jiang Dengxuan, Li Jinglin's army saw that Chang Zhenbang's army was outnumbered, and the artillery was sharp, so he naturally knew that eggs could not touch stones, and immediately retreated to Baoding, Unexpectedly, Ye Ju's cavalry troops were killed halfway, dragging them to death, giving the Chang Zhenbang army a chance to catch up, a bloody battle, dyed the entire Boye County, the Northeast Army was finally outnumbered and dumpled by the Southeast Army, Jiang Deng's selection department was wiped out, and he became a prisoner, but Li Jinglin deserved to be a master of physical skills, and he led the guards to fight a bloody way among thousands of troops and horses, and went straight to Baoding.
Chang Zhenbang took advantage of the victory to pursue and advance to Baoding, and Cao Kun, the commander of the direct system, personally led the army to meet the battle.
At this time, the direct army in Baoding City included Feng Yuxiang's division, Wu Peifu's corps, Cao Rui's division, Wang Huaiqing's division, Cao Kun's guard division, and Zhang Fulai's corps as reinforcements.
Chang Zhenbang's side is the Guards Division, the First Army of the Southeast, the Fourth Army of the Southeast, the Zhao Feilong Division, the Zhang Youhua Division, the Wang Guilin Division, and the Lu Yongxiang Division.
The two sides seem to have little difference in strength, but in fact they are worlds apart, Chang Zhenbang has made a comeback after his defeat, and Cao Kun's invincibility is a catastrophe.
However, at this time, two Japanese Dongying warships entered the Dagu Pass under the escort of the Feng warships, and the Dongying army landed, and in the name of fighting Zhijiang and protecting the minister, they sailed to Beijing. Subsequently, Dongying entangled with Britain, the United States, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and the eight major imperialist countries, and jointly invoked the clause of the "Xinchou Peace Treaty" that Haikou should not be fortified, and put forward an ultimatum of 44 hours to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing Government. The Eight-Nation Legation proposed to the Beijing Government that it should dismantle the defense facilities at Dagukou or face the problem by force. At the same time, various countries sent warships to gather at Dagukou and threaten the Beiyang government by force.
