Jining City, the joint headquarters of the Northeast Army and the Jin Sui Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After receiving Zhang Xinghan's call-back order, Liu Jianguo began to assemble his troops.

Time was pressing, there was no time to mobilize more troops, and there was still a heavy force to surround Jiningche, so Liu Jianguo only assembled a reinforced regiment.

said goodbye to Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu.

"Brother Qiyu, Brother Weijiu, the heavy task of besieging Jining will be handed over to you, take care!" Liu Jianguo saluted Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu.

"Brother Jianguo, take care, be careful all the way!" The two of them saluted the military salute in return.

and jointly sent Liu Jianguo out of the barracks before turning back.

Liu Jianguo led his troops north from Jining, returned to Tai'an via Yanzhou and Qufu, and then went east to Laiwu, and then turned north to Zibo.

The march was nearly 500 miles, but fortunately, the reinforced regiment led by Liu Jianguo was all on the wheels of a car.

Tai'an, Laiwu and other places along the way have been captured by the Northeast Army, and oil and food along the way have been replenished in time.

After a day and a night of rapid marching, they finally arrived in time before the capture of Zibo City.

As Zhang Xinghan expected, it was Zhang Xiaoliu's Qingdao Army that defeated the eastward division of the Northeast Army in Weifang this time.

Responsible for personally leading the command of the team is the former Northeast Army General Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and others.

After Weifang defeated the Northeast Army by surprise, Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and others led their troops to unite with Han Fuqu's Shandong Army Weifang garrison.

A total of more than 20,000 people quickly pursued to Zibo, and immediately launched a fierce attack.

The northeastern army of Zibo was defeated and held the city to the death, and at the same time, Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops left in Jinan to send a battalion to support the Zibo defenders.

The defenders fought bloodily, and with the assistance of their own air force's fierce firepower, they were finally able to hold out until Liu Jianguo's more than 4,000 reinforcements arrived.

Liu Jianguo's reinforced regiment was a Class A infantry regiment with an additional tank battalion, with a total strength of more than 4,200 troops.

After arriving in Zibo, Liu Jianguo immediately launched an attack from the south gate of Zibo with two tank battalions as the vanguard.

More than 100 remnants of the defenders at the south gate of the city also took advantage of the situation to kill. The inside should be combined with the outside, and Liu Jianguo's reinforcements should be brought into the city.

Ten miles east of the city, there is a small temple at the foot of a mountain, which has now become the headquarters of the joint counteroffensive forces of the Shandong Army and the Qingdao Army.

After Zhang Xueliang and Shen Honglie won the surprise attack in Weifang, they reached an agreement with Han Fuqu through telegrams.

All the Shandong Army units east of Tai'an were united with the Qingdao Army, with Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan as the chief and deputy commanders.

Jointly carry out a counteroffensive against the Northeast Army, attack Zibo, and coerce Jinan, so as to threaten the rear of the Northeast Army and relieve the pressure of the Shandong Army on the Jining battlefield.

In the Command. Yu Xuezhong was discussing the battle plan with Liu Duoquan and a large group of staff officers around the map.

The tenacity of the Zibo garrison far exceeded the expectations of generals such as Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan.

They thought that the Northeast Army of this period was much more powerful than when they were in the Northeast.

This strength is not only in terms of weapons and equipment, but also in the tenacity and tenacity of combat awareness.

You must know that the defenders of Zibo retreated from the defeat on the battlefield of Weifang, and retreated to Zibo City in a hurry, and the morale of the troops was in an unfavorable situation.

However, the defenders in the city were not as vulnerable as Yu Xuezhong and they expected in advance, and they were about to collapse at the first touch.

Instead, they relied on the fortified city and launched a tragic and bloody battle with the counteroffensive coalition army.

Even, some officers of the troops who participated in the battle reacted that the defenders in the city were not strong enough, and they were even men. The stretcher players all took up their weapons and joined the defense.

Not to mention the wounded soldiers of the Northeast Army, who fought to the death and did not retreat, showing an extremely tenacious sense of fighting.

Liu Duoquan and Yu Xuezhong had a headache and were discussing. Is it a risk to send troops to bypass Zibo in a roundabout way, directly attack Jinan, and recapture this important place in northern Shandong.

While the crowd was discussing fiercely, a communications soldier walked in from outside with a message.

Salute Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and others and report: "Sir." Oh no, the Shandong army that had just besieged the south of the city reported that a reinforcement from the Northeast Army suddenly arrived. Under the response of the defenders of the south gate, they entered the city. ”

"What? Northeast Army reinforcements? How many people are there? Liu Duoquan and the others were taken aback and asked.

"There should be no less than five thousand people, as well as a large number of tanks and combat vehicles." The communications soldier replied tremblingly.

Five thousand people, and a large number of tanks and combat vehicles ?!

Liu Duoquan, Yu Xuezhong and others couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and the latter even said: "The Northeast Army is coming too fast, doesn't the intelligence say that their main forces are all on the Jining battlefield five hundred miles away?" How did it take only one day and one night to arrive in Zibo, and the speed of this march was too terrifying. ”

Liu Duoquan said: "It is said that Zhang Xinghan's troops are fully equipped with car wheels, and they march 250 kilometers in one day and one night, and it is not impossible to march in a hurry. ”

"So what do we do next? There are only less than one regiment of remnants in the city, and we are still unable to attack the fortifications, and now there are two more regiments of B regiments, and we want to capture Zibo again, not to mention the time it will take, and our own losses will not be small. Yu Xuezhong said worriedly.

Liu Duoquan also said with a sad face: "Otherwise, let's suspend the attack and ask the young marshal for instructions, what should we do?" ”

Yu Xuezhong didn't have any good ideas, so he nodded in agreement.

………………

Qingdao, the Young Marshal's Mansion.

This young marshal's mansion was built with funds after Zhang Xiaoliu returned to Qingdao two years ago.

Compared with the young marshal's mansion in Shenyang, it is magnificent, not much better.

It can be seen from this how rich the famous non-resistance general Zhang Shaoshuai is.

He has been in charge of the Northeast for many years, and the huge wealth he has looted is enough for him and his children and grandchildren to enjoy for several lifetimes.

Today's Young Marshal's Mansion has already been completed, and Zhang Shaoshuai and Miss Zhao Si live in it, singing every night, so happy.

However, compared with before, since Zhang Xiaoliu arrived in Qingdao, he has been more diligent in political affairs during the day, and has worked hard to make a comeback.

With the full support of Shen Honglie, Yu Xuezhong and other subordinates, he recruited troops in Qingdao in just over two years, expanding his army to more than 30,000 people.

This is only the army under the name of the Marine Corps, and Shen Honglie's navy has also developed a lot, and the number of people has surged from three or four thousand to tens of thousands.

Naturally, a small Qingdao could not support 40,000 or 50,000 army and navy troops.

It turned out that during Zhang Xueliang's visit to Europe, he received the support of the Western powers, intending to help him restore his military strength and prepare to win over the Central Plains and East China in order to protect the interests of the Western powers in the above-mentioned regions.

However, what he didn't expect was that in just over two years since he returned from abroad, Zhang Xinghan has developed faster than him.

Not only did it develop a navy, but it even annihilated the invincible main force of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, which was known as the first in Asia and the third in the world.

Later, he captured the island of Kyushu and became the first national hero in history to occupy Japanese territory.

I thought that Zhang Xinghan had no intention of looking south, and after capturing Kyushu Island, he would continue to wave his troops east to destroy Japan, and he still had time to develop.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Xinghan, a bastard who made Zhang Xiaoliu hate to the core, mobilized a large army to attack North China in a blink of an eye.

Now it has crossed the Yellow River and touched the Central Plains and East China.

The speed of his troops' advance was astonishing, and it completely threatened Zhang Xiaoliu's survival on the Jiaodong Peninsula.

Therefore, when the Shandong army had just lost Mount Tai, he summoned Shen Honglie, Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and other loyal deployments to discuss participating in the war.

Only then did Liu Jianguo's partial division defeat Weifang suddenly occur.

Zhang Xiaoliu's move successfully relieved the pressure on Han Fuqu's department, and Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and others took advantage of the situation to pursue Zibo, and they were about to hit Jinan.

The battle went smoothly, and Zhang Xiaoliu was very happy, especially when Han Fuqu and Jiang Guangtou were defeated.

He Zhang Xiaoliu succeeded in counterattacking with less than one soldier and won the victory in the local war, which is enough to be proud.

Poor Zhang Xiaoliu has a lack of intelligence system, and now he doesn't know that Hu Zongnan has lost most of the Central Plains, and strategically Shandong is about to be surrounded by the Northeast Army.

On this day, Zhang Shaoshuai, as usual, gathered with Shen Honglie and others in a conference room in the Qingdao Mayor's Office Building.

It was already the general headquarters of the Qingdao Army, and they had to listen to reports from the front line and study countermeasures here every day.

In the conference room, Shen Honglie had already raised concerns about Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan's long-term attack on Zibo.

Zhang Shaoshuai waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "Chengzhang, don't worry too much, although Zibo City is not the barrier of Jinan, the defenders are weak, and they are newly defeated in Weifang."

I have already telegraphed Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan to intensify their attacks, and I expect to be able to do it soon. ”

Zhang Shaoshuai's words fell, and the attendant adjutant Chen Dazhang walked in with a panicked expression, saluted him, and said: "Young Marshal, Yu Xuezhong has called, the rebel army (Zhang has always regarded himself as the orthodoxy of the Northeast Army, and regards Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Army as a rebel) has added 5,000 reinforcements, and has now arrived in Zibo.

The reinforcements carried a large number of tanks and combat vehicles, and the combat power was strong, and our army was afraid that it would not be able to capture Zibo in a short period of time. ”

Zhang Shaoshuai, who was still holding the victory with a relaxed face just now, smiled on the spot, and his face gradually became extremely pale.

Seeing this, Shen Honglie on the side persuaded: "Young marshal, according to the news I got some time ago, Yan Xishan has led all the Jin Sui troops to surrender, and it is expected that there will be no war north of the Yellow River, and the rebels under Zhang Xinghan will soon go south to the Central Plains, and it is unknown whether Hu Zongnan can resist it."

Han Fuqu's troops were defeated in Jinan and Tai'an, and more than half of his troops were lost, and it is expected that he will not be able to hold out for a long time, and Jining will be trapped by the rebels sooner or later.

If we want to defend East China and Qingdao, we may not be able to rely on tens of thousands of horses in our hands.

It is suggested that you should hurry up and ask Chairman Chiang for help, only if Chairman Chiang sends the main force of the Central Army to the north along the Jinpu Railway, can you compete with the rebels! ”

ps: It's Monday, even my God, when I look at the recommendation votes, I didn't even go up to the military list, and my heart is cool and cool, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, ask for fire support.
