Unexpectedly, without waiting for them to speak, Xu Youde continued: "In addition, there is another important news coming from the direction of Pingjin, tens of thousands of troops of the Northeast Frontier Army stationed in Pingjin suddenly left the Beiping garrison and are heading south to Baoding along the Pinghan Railway. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What?" Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan's faces changed, and they said, "What does Zhang Xinghan want to do?" ”

Yang Aiyuan said on the side: "Chairman, it seems that Zhang Xinghan is planning to surround Wei to save Zhao." ”

"What? Wai Wei to save Zhao? Are you saying that Zhang Xinghan planned to attack Shanxi on the Pinghan Railway? Yan Xishan said in surprise.

Yang Aiyuan nodded and said, "It's very likely." ”

"There are more than 100,000 Jiang people's central army near Baoding and Cangzhou, and he thinks he can get by?" Yan Xishan said suspiciously.

Yang Aiyuan said with a heavy face: "I'm afraid that the Central Army is unwilling to block the Northeast Frontier Army from going south for us, but Chairman Jiang can't wait for us and the Northeast Frontier Army to fight to the death, and his Central Army will sit back and reap the benefits." ”

Yan Xishan's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he couldn't help but pace back and forth, and couldn't stop saying, "What should we do, what should we do?" The Suiyuan offensive has not seen results for a long time, and Wan Fulin and Liu Ruming have suffered defeats in a row, what should we do! ”

Yang Aiyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Chairman, the top priority is to order the troops on the Western Front to strengthen the offensive and capture Suiyuan before the Pingjin troops of the Northeast Frontier Army, so that they can cut off their rear roads, so that they can not care about each other, and unite with the Ma Jiajun to inflict heavy losses on them. ”

"What's going on in Ningxia, our people haven't heard anything so far, it can't be anything else, right?" Yan Xishan said with some concern.

"Four days ago, there was news that Qingma Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing had led the main force to Yinchuan, and they should have blocked the attack of the Northeast Frontier Army compared to now.

Once we recapture Suiyuan and cut off the logistical supply lines of the Northeast Frontier Army, the Ma Jiajun will definitely be able to counterattack and attack. Flank with us on both sides and defeat the Northeast Frontier Army north of the Great Wall. Yang Aiyuan said: "There shouldn't be any problems." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes hurriedly walked in.

Xu Youde, who came, knew that it was the head of the Jin Sui Army's spies, Yang Bo, who was Yang Aiyuan's confidant and descendant, and was specifically responsible for the Jin Sui Army's secret agent intelligence organization.

Seeing Yang Bo's anxious face, Yang Aiyuan had a bad thought in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Yang Bo, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yang Bo's face was miserable. He came over and saluted and mourned: "Chairman, Yang Gong, Yinchuan has been lost." ”

"What?" Yang Aiyuan and Yan Xishan were taken aback, their faces changed drastically, and they couldn't believe it: "How is this possible?" When did it happen? ”

"Three days ago." Yang Bodao.

"Three days ago? Why didn't you report until now? Yang Aiyuan was shocked and angry when he heard this.

Yang Bocheng hurriedly bowed his head in fear and said: "Yang Gong, please calm your anger, our intelligence organization in Yinchuan was infiltrated and destroyed by the Northeast Frontier Army's Secret Bureau before Yinchuan was besieged, and all our people were sacrificed. Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang were forced to lead the remnants to surrender, and these news were only discovered by our agents in Lanzhou today, and he also said that the Northeast Frontier Army had entered Lanzhou. It is advancing towards all parts of Gansu and Qinghai. ”

As soon as Yang Bo finished speaking, Yan Xishan sat down on the chair and muttered to himself with a desperate expression: "It's over, it's all over." This time I stabbed a hornet's nest. ”

Seeing Yan Xishan like this, Yang Aiyuan also felt guilty for a while, and took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Northeast Frontier Army was unable to fight with the Ma Family's army. It's all his attention.

Now that there is such a mistake, he Yang Aiyuan has an unshirkable responsibility, the Ma family army has been completely annihilated, and attacking the Northeast Frontier Army at this time is equivalent to the Jin Sui Army and Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army fighting alone.

With his own strength, he fought with Zhang Xinghan, who had an army of 100,000 books, and the Jin Sui army obviously did not have this strength.

In addition to being deeply guilty, Yang Aiyuan was also puzzled, how could he never have imagined that Ma Jiajun, who had always been known for his courage and good fighting, would be so vulnerable?

On the other hand, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army is so strong? How long did it take for the war to annihilate the main force of the Ma Jiajun, and the first battle laid the foundation for the situation in the northwest?

It's incredible.

But now is not the time to be shocked and annoyed, Yang Aiyuan cleaned up his mood and said to Yan Xishan: "Chairman, the matter has come to this, we have to take measures quickly, immediately order General Fu Zuoyi to stop the attack immediately, and the troops will alternately cover and slowly withdraw to Datong, and at the same time mobilize troops to strictly defend the Shijiazhuang area." ”

Yan Xishan was a little pessimistic and said: "But, Xingru, Zhang Xinghan has no worries now, can he give up with us?" ”

"No one can say for sure, regardless of whether Zhang Xinghan will not want to expand the war because he has just invaded the northwest and will not pursue us.

Our offensive operations must be stopped, otherwise once Zhang Xinghan is lively, and the main force of the Western Expedition is brought back, we will not be able to withdraw even if we want to. Yang Aiyuan said.

Yan Xishan nodded silently, and Yang Aiyuan hurriedly waved his hand to Xu Youde and Yang Bo when he saw this, signaling them to immediately carry out the order.

After the two left, Yang Aiyuan said to Yan Xishan: "Chairman, you don't have to worry too much, no matter what, we still have nearly 300,000 troops, if Zhang Xinghan is really persecuted too much, then we will have a fish with him."

But I don't think he's going to do that with his cleverness, so you can rest easy, Chairman, and don't worry too much. ”

Yan Xishan nodded in shock, lit a cigarette and began to smoke it.

Datong, the front-line command of the Jin Sui Army, Yan Xishan has handed over the command of the front line to Fu Zuoyi.

At this time, Fu Zuoyizheng and Song Zheyuan, commander of the 29th Army, Xiao Zhenying, chief of staff, and others gathered together to discuss the military situation.

The main force of the 29th Army is now integrated with Fu Zuoyi's department, and they are used to attack the Pingsui Line in concert.

While everyone was discussing, a communications staff officer suddenly ran in in a hurry, stood up and saluted Fu Zuoyi: "Commander-in-Chief Fu, Chairman Yan has called, ordering all troops on the front line to immediately stop attacking and retreat in the direction of Datong overnight. ”

"What?" Not only Fu Zuoyi was taken aback, but even Song Zheyuan, commander of the 29th Army, Xiao Zhenying, chief of staff, and others changed their faces and stood up.

Fu Zuoyi's eyes were full of surprise, and he asked, "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

"The Ma Jiajun has been completely annihilated, and the fighters of our army to take back Suiyuan have disappeared, so the chairman ordered our whole army to retreat immediately overnight." The communications staff officer replied.

"The Ma family army was completely wiped out?" Xiao Zhenying finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward and asked, "This staff officer, is this news true?" ”

"Our Chairman Yan sent it from Taiyuan, can we still have a fake?" The communications staff officer didn't have a good impression of Song Zheyuan, Xiao Zhenying and others, and asked angrily.

"No, no, I didn't mean that." Xiao Zhenying smiled reluctantly and waved his hand: "I'm just a little shocked, the total strength of the Ma family army plus the local militia is not less than 100,000, how could they be wiped out in such a short period of time." ”

The communications staff officer said lukewarmly: "This humble position is not clear, Chairman Yan's telegram is these contents, and nothing else is mentioned. ”

Xiao Zhenying nodded and stepped aside.

Fu Zuoyi took the telegram and looked at it carefully, for a long time, sighed and said: "It's true, alas, it's really better to be a human being than heaven, Ma Jiajun was defeated so quickly?" ”

After Song Zheyuan and Xiao Zhenying glanced at each other, they stepped forward and asked, "General Fu, what are your plans now?" ”

"What else can I plan, since the Ma Jiajun has failed, then the fighter plane for us to recapture Suiyuan and unite them to flank the Northeast Frontier Army has disappeared.

If the offensive continues, the situation is likely to be reversed, and Chairman Yan also mentioned in the telegram that the northeastern frontier army in the Pingjin area is moving south, which may threaten Shijiazhuang and Shanxi at any time, and we must break away from the battle and withdraw to Datong. Fu Zuoyi said truthfully.

Song Zheyuan nodded silently and didn't say much, now they don't know that Wan Fulin and Liu Ruming have been defeated and returned.

The decision was made, and soon Fu Zuoyi conveyed the order, and the various units of the Jin Sui army quickly pulled out their camps overnight, trying to take advantage of the cover of night to withdraw south.

However, the retreat of more than 100,000 men and horses on the whole line, and the scouts of the Northeast Frontier Army and the agents of the Secret Service are watching with their hearts, so it may all be done quietly.

Less than two hours after they began to retreat, their whereabouts were discovered by the Northeast Border Guards and quickly reported.

In Guisui City, Zhang Xinghan had just had dinner with Jiang Baili and others, and was planning to rest for a good night, and tomorrow he would command the troops to counterattack.

Guo Zhong hurriedly walked in with a telegram in his hand, and said: "General seat, staff seat, I just got the latest news, and the main force of the Jin Sui Army and the 29th Army that was confronting us suddenly withdrew on all fronts. ”

Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan glanced at each other when they heard this, and Zhang Xinghan said with a smile: "It seems that Yan Laoxi has noticed an abnormality, but it's too late." Zhongzi, immediately send my order, all divisions and regiments immediately attack, bite the tail of the Jin Sui army fiercely, and never let them withdraw so easily! ”

"Yes!" Guo Zhong replied suddenly, and immediately turned around and left.

Zhang Xinghan gave an order, and on the front of several hundred kilometers from Zhangjiakou to Guisui, tens of thousands of officers and men of the Northeast Frontier Army of the four divisions attacked on all fronts.

launched a fierce pursuit against the Jin Sui Army and the 29th Army, which had already withdrawn.

After Wu Chengfeng received the order, he also led his troops south from Huai'an County and went straight to Tianzhen County.
