Just after nine o'clock in the evening, after a fierce battle for an hour and a half and heavy casualties, the Yutai defenders finally could not withstand the two-sided attack of the five divisions of the Third Army, especially after An Yi's independent division annihilated the sixth and ninth divisions of the Anhui army, flew to capture Shunhe Town, and took advantage of the victory to attack Yucheng and cut off its rear road. He Yaozu also avenged the death of his division commander Gong Xian. The remnants of the four divisions of the Anhui army www.biquge.info, which fled all the way north, suffered heavy casualties under the heavy attack of the artillery regiment commanded by Hu Jialin, and the first regiment of the independent division led by Gu Changfeng and the two main regiments of the 72nd Division attacked Yucheng at 9:40 and succeeded, and then occupied the enemy's position and launched a fierce resistance to the enemy fleeing north, laying a solid foundation for consolidating the victory and expanding the results of the battle.

The four and a half divisions commanded by He Yaozu and Xia Douyin pursued and killed all the way, biting and biting until Wanglu Town, 11 kilometers to the north, when they stopped, and more than 18,000 officers and soldiers escorted more than 3,000 prisoners and a large number of captured materials back to Yutai.

At this point, the Fengpei Campaign and the Yutai Campaign, which shocked the whole country, came to an end, and the Anhui army, which lost 55,000 elite troops within three days, asked Sun Chuanfang to be a hero's end, and completely withdrew from the big stage of fighting for world domination a week later.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, the four divisions and two brigades of the Sun Army guarding the first line of Jinxiang, fought very hard under the fierce attack of Shi Yousan and Fang Zhenwu, and suddenly came the news that the sixth and ninth divisions were wiped out in Feng County, the defenders of Jinxiang were suddenly in turmoil, completely lost the confidence to resist, and withdrew from the Jinxiang line in the early morning of the next day and fled to Jining. After Shi Yousan broke the enemy, he chased fiercely until he reached Madian, 20 kilometers southwest of Jining, on the south bank of the Cai River, and then stopped to check the results. In this battle, Shi Yousan captured countless guns and ammunition, and even Fang Zhenwu's Fourth Army, which invaded Jinxiang, also benefited a lot

On the morning of the next day, Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng, and Lu Chengguang handed over the defense area to the headquarters of the Third Army Corps, led all the brothers of the Independent Division and the 72nd Division, escorted the bodies of more than 700 sacrificed brothers, more than 1,800 wounded brothers, and a large amount of weapons and materials to be captured, and returned to Fengcheng in 36 trucks of the Artillery Regiment and the Logistics Section.

As soon as the convoy drove to the north of Fengcheng City, it saw more than 3,000 brothers from the engineer battalion, the logistics section, and the teaching regiment lying exhausted on the trenches that had just been filled, and the 37 headquarters trucks that had returned ahead of schedule last night were running back and forth on the wide battlefield

More than 1,000 wounded brothers and more than 1,000 wounded of the original 33rd Army were promptly sent to the headquarters truck and returned to Xuzhou for treatment.

An Yi sent an apology telegram to He Yaozu, the commander of the Third Army, stating the reason why he could not get to Yutai to get together, and then quickly convened a military meeting above the battalion level to arrange for the whole division to return to the camp in the north of Xuzhou City to rest and recuperate.

In the two consecutive days and two nights of fighting, the officers and men of the independent division lost 527 people killed and more than 1,400 wounded, and the 72nd Division, which had more than 7,500 people, now has only more than 4,000 people left, plus the more than 2,000 people killed in the 71st Division, in just three days, the total number of officers and men of the three divisions commanded by An Yi has reached an astonishing 5,200 and nearly 8,000 wounded.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the exhausted officers and men of the independent division were ready to wait, and Pan Shanzhai led dozens of generals and colonels under his command to see them off, although the 72nd Division itself suffered heavy losses in this war, but Pan Shanzhai and his brothers did not have any complaints, and most of the remaining more than 4,000 officers and men were veterans and ruffians who had followed for a long time, and in the battle for two consecutive days and two nights, the combat effectiveness of their entire division jumped to a new level. Late last night, An Yi fulfilled the agreement and distributed 80,000 oceans, 3,000 captured rifles, 100 light and heavy machine guns, 24 artillery pieces, and a batch of military supplies to Pan Shanzhai, and sent more than 1,000 of his wounded brothers back to his Xuzhou battalion for treatment, solemnly promising to help the 72nd Division train 200 artillerymen.

The generals of the 72nd Division, who had never been treated so well and had never been wealthy, were so grateful to An Yi and the Independent Division, so as long as the battalion commander and above who could stand up in the division came to see him off, and assured An Yi that he would give preferential treatment to the more than 4,000 Anhui prisoners who were still imprisoned in the city, and those who did not want to stay as soldiers would be given two oceans of travel expenses each.

In the convoy slowly moving south, An Yi and more than a dozen generals under his command sat in the same carriage, and the energetic Gu Changfeng pointed to the various vehicles that were speeding north, and asked in surprise: "What's going on?" I came across so many trucks and cars along the way, and the people inside seemed to be some sharp people, what were they doing north at this time? ”

An Yi turned his head and glanced at it, and replied in a low voice: "It should be reporters from major newspapers and propagandists from the party department...... Yesterday afternoon, the General Headquarters briefed the whole country on the situation of the Fengpei Campaign, and in the evening two reporters from the "Declaration" arrived and wanted to enter the battlefield to cover the news, but were stopped by our sentry.

Seeing that the situation was not right, I immediately ordered the brothers who stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses, intestines, broken hands and feet in the craters and fill them with soil, and asked Brother Yu's 30 or so cars to crush back and forth before dawn. Before, Uncle De sent a telegram asking us to clean up the battlefield, and I thought we could rest for a day before doing it, but I didn't expect the reporter to move so fast, and I could only make the brothers suffer. ”

Cheng Guang shook his head and sighed: "The battlefield within a radius of ten miles is all scorched, and the evil spirit in my heart has to be dealt with after I finish speaking, and it is estimated that thousands of brothers will not be able to slow down after sleeping for three days." ”

Gu Changfeng saw Zhao Rui's pale face, and laughed heartily: "How is it?" Lao Zhao, it's more comfortable to go to the front line to fight, right? The younger brother began to bury people from the battle of Fengxin, and he was buried until the pants returned to the field in August last year, and he deeply experienced the discomfort of this taste! ”

"That's for sure, who wants to do such a? Lao Wu has been nauseous since last night, and his stomach is still churning! Zhao Rui's angry answer caused everyone to laugh, and people like Zhao Rui also said foul language, obviously feeling very uncomfortable

Lu Yixuan, who was leaning on the side of the carriage, said with emotion: "Before I came, I heard outsiders say that the independent division is so good and so good, and you can eat meat every day, you are really rich, famous and status, and after you come in, you know that this Xiu cut is not easy to come by, and others have not seen the cruel process of our tough battle, only the result, and others do not know that they have practiced several times the hard work of other friendly troops, only that there is a set of independent division war training, in the past three months, the younger brother finally understands the hardships, and also experiences a kind of happiness and satisfaction that has never been before, After thinking about it, I feel that I am very happy, and I am a hundred times happier than those brothers and sisters who are still struggling to pursue a half-official position, honor and status. ”

The new brothers felt the same way, and they echoed it, and the bearded Hu Jialin touched his cheeks: "Don't be happy so fast, you will be happier in a few days." ”

Lu Yixuan, Zhao Rui, Huang Zhi and the others didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at An Yi and Hu Jialin and other old brothers with puzzled eyes.

Cheng Guang, who is a real person, explained with a smile: "What Hu Zi said is true, two unexpected victories in a row, our independent division will definitely receive special commendations and awards from the group army and the Central Military Commission, and it is estimated that the military ranks of the brothers will soon be promoted to one level." In this regard, the boss has always been the leader, including the ordinary soldiers under his command, the division headquarters will remember his combat exploits and promote his rank. It can be said without boasting that only our independent division has the fastest promotion in the ranks of the whole army, this is not that we go through the back door or force anyone, but to report with a real military merit evaluation, Shangfeng has never embarrassed our independent division, basically how many batches are reported, because our military merits can be seen by anyone, according to the boss, it is okay not to give money, not to give guns, and never to give honor, so the brothers will wait for the promotion after going back! ，、

The brothers were so moved that many of them had a mist over their eyes. An Yi saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly changed the topic: "This is a happy event, you should be happy!" By the way, do you know the impact of these two battles...... Don't say it? Well, let me tell you about it, after the independent division was rebuilt, it was one that everyone including me got this precious opportunity to exercise, and the brilliant record of destroying 30,000 enemies in two days and two nights was another, but from the overall point of view, none of this is important, the most important thing is that this battle changed the current situation of the enemy and us in one fell swoop, and tore through the enemy's self-proclaimed impregnable defense line that the enemy had painstakingly operated for half a year, which was a major strategic victory.

Because of the victories in these two battles, with the addition of Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchang, the two northern warlord forces, to their extinction, our Northern Expedition process will be doubled and accelerated, and at the same time, our army will also mature and grow rapidly through this tempering and tempering, and can deter all the warlords in the country, which is of immeasurable significance to the reunification of the country, even if the whole country is nominally unified, it is far better than the current warlord division and the division between the north and the south.

As you may all know, Russia is doing everything possible to split Outer Mongolia, Japan is still lacking in ambition to support the warlord Zhang Zuolin to forcibly occupy the three eastern provinces, and is still eroding our land step by step, Britain is using naval artillery to divide our Tibet, and is still supporting the warlords in the north, and other European and American powers are plundering our wealth and preventing our reunification every day by such means, all because our family is not only weak but also divided, without a unified country, without a strong army, we can only be passively slaughtered. And what we are doing now is not for any one person or one political party, but for the whole country and nation.

I am personally very proud of the battles we have fought in the past two days, because we are fighting for the country and the nation, and I hope everyone can see this. ”

The brothers pondered deeply, An Yi and others thought about it, smiled and clapped their hands: "Okay, okay, let's keep this question and think slowly, don't worry, now there is an issue in front of us, I want to take it as one of the main topics during our recuperation After two days of continuous combat, everyone probably has a feeling of being out of breath, because the pace is too fast, so, we need to summarize it and look back to see where we are?" Why is it fast?

Secondly, we have fought several battles in a row, and it is not just that we are ruthless against the Ninth Division of the Anhui Army, which is a great enemy, but the rushing and volleying operations commanded by Hu Zi, Hutou, and Cheng Guang last night are absolutely ruthless enough, and they are commendable in terms of command and the tactical use of various units, and they are worthy of our good summary.

The third is accurate, the goal standard, the time is accurate, and the start is accurate.

I hope that we can conclude what is beneficial to us through the summary of the three words of fast, accurate and ruthless, and it is likely to form our own unique style or become an exhibition direction.

As for me, I will probably be left at the headquarters by Uncle De and the commander-in-chief when I go back, but I will try to find time to discuss with you, what do you think? ”

"Agreed!" The brothers were unanimous.

An Yi nodded and smiled, and looked at Gu Changfeng: "Tiger Head, I will ask for credit for you in the name of the chief of staff of the former enemy general headquarters of the group army and the deputy commander of the Third Army Corps, and help you get back the rank of major general, your achievements are obvious to all, especially in the Battle of Yucheng last night, you led three regiments to defeat one of the enemy's main divisions, and played a vital role in defeating the enemy's main force and expanding the results of the Third Army Golden Line, even He Yaozu's predecessors and Xia Douyin's predecessors were full of praise for you, and the two seniors jointly sent me a telegram, I want to take you to Yutai to drink celebration wine, I want to see you, the bandit leader in the famous army, but unfortunately the time is too tight and there are too many wounded, so I can only wait for the next time, hehe! ”

All the brothers congratulated in unison, and Gu Changfeng said happily: "Great! When Lao Tzu received the general's uniform and military rank, he immediately asked the reporter with the army to take a standard photo, enlarge eight inches and send it to Xia Jian's grandson, son, at the beginning of the year, that grandson picked up the rank of major general commander of the security headquarters and was not angry with me, at least ten times I intended to show off in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's current major general is much more expensive than his gold! ”

The brothers didn't expect Gu Changfeng to say such a thing, and after being stunned for a while, they all laughed. Cheerful laughter wafted out of the carriage, drawing a successful end to the battle.
