The Shaanxi army was defeated in the first battle, and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy was killed on the day of the battle, which made Feng Yuxiang fall into a huge panic!

The strength of the National Revolutionary Army far exceeded its own imagination.

There were cannons on the ground, planes in the sky, their former enemy commander-in-chief had just been killed, Zhenba had been lost again, the morale of the army was seriously unstable, and the momentum of the National Revolutionary Army was like a rainbow, and while capturing Zhenba, it also launched an attack on Nanzheng at the same time.

In terms of Nan Zheng's defensive forces, it was only a matter of time before they were lost.

Wang Hengyue was Feng Yuxiang's old opponent a long time ago, when Beiyang entered Sichuan and dealt with [***], Feng Yuxiang rushed forward with light troops, and almost died in the hands of Wang Hengyue.

Now this person has actually started the Northern Expedition!

It's too fast, this person's power is developing too fast!

He led the main force back to Shaanxi, preparing to find a way to replace Chen Shufan's position as the overseer of Shaanxi, could it be that in a blink of an eye, this position was going to be given to others?

Feng Yuxiang stared at the map on the wall with some irritation, looking at it deadly, sighing for a while, shaking his head again and again, as if he was making a very difficult decision there.

Suddenly, he turned his head suddenly: "Order, concentrate your forces on the front line of Hanzhong, and block the National Revolutionary Army for me!" ”

Feng Yuxiang didn't want to make a desperate bet and fight to the death with the National Revolutionary Army, his abacus was very wishful, and he first dragged the National Revolutionary Army in Hanzhong for a period of time to win the maximum capital for himself!

It's just that the National Revolutionary Army, which is at the critical moment of the Northern Expedition, may not let his wishful thinking start

Nam Zheng.

The planes took off and bombed again and again, and the artillery roared with all its strength, smashing the shells out without a head, so that the entire position was plunged into a sea of fire, and the Shaanxi army on the position was already in chaos.

While Feng Yuxiang was preparing for the decisive battle in Hanzhong, another army that opposed the Beiyang political axe also made contact with the National Revolutionary Army.

This is due to the fact that the right person served as the commander-in-chief, Zhang Fang served as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Hu Jingyi actually commanded Shaanxi Jing [***]!

After the start of the Protectorate War, Cao Shiying and Gao Jun in Weibei and Geng Zhi in Xi'an responded to the uprising and raised the banner of reversing Chen Huaduan.

Zhang Yi'an, who was stationed in Sanyuan, launched a surprise attack on the garrison sent by Chen Shufan to deal with the protection of [***]. With a battalion of troops, Zhang Yi'an annihilated a brigade and an entire regiment of Chen Shufan, and won the victory of the Sanyuan Uprising. After that, Hu Jingyi and Cao Shiying also rushed to Sanyuan, and the two armies joined forces and established Shaanxi Jing [***].

The establishment of Jing [***] made Chen Shufan panic and restless. After Chen Shufan's plot to sow discord was revealed, he became angry and openly sent troops to attack the headquarters of Sanyuan Jing [***]. Hu Jingyi and Cao Shiying took the initiative by surprise and smashed Chen Shufan's attack in one fell swoop.

Jing [***] took advantage of the victory to pursue, except for a part of the troops to stay in Sanyuan, the rest of the troops were divided into east and west roads, and surrounded Xi'an. Zhang Yi'an led the Western Route Army into Ganjiazhai near Xi'an, and smashed the attack of three battalions of Chen's army with a battalion of troops. After the battles of Jingyang and Sanyuan, Hu Jingyi sent Feng Yudong, Li Huchen, Kang Ling, and Deng Baoshan to the south to support Zhang Yi'an. Jing [***] destroyed the defense line of Chen's army in the western suburbs of Xi'an with a fierce offensive, and surrounded Xi'an from both the west and the south.

The East Route Army led by Cao Shiying, Guo Jian, and Gao Jun connected Ke Xinzhu, Shilipu, and Guangtai Temple, and approached Hansenzhai and surrounded Xi'an from the east and north. Under the attack of the eastern and western armies of Jing[***], Chen Shufan panicked, and asked for reinforcements on the one hand; On the other hand, with the promise of the provincial governor, he asked Liu Zhenhua in western Henan for help. Liu Zhenhua was originally a careerist at both ends of the rat, and he was already dissatisfied with his entrenchment in the corner of western Henan. Chen Shufan's request for help is a full man beating a dog, which is exactly in line with Liu Zhenhua's ambition. So, Liu Zhenhua personally led 5,000 men and horses to drive into Tongguan. Liu Zhenhua's entry into the customs was very unfavorable to Jing [***]. Hu Jingyi judged the situation and ordered Jing [***] to withdraw his troops from Xi'an. The Western Route Army retreated to Sanyuan, Jingyang, and Fuping, with the Jing River as the defensive line. The Eastern Route Army returned to its original garrison in Weibei to recuperate.

Although Jing [***] fought bravely, it lacked unified command, which was a taboo for military experts. Hu Jingyi, Cao Shiying, Liu Yuncheng and others discussed and decided to invite Mr. Yu Youren, who was in Shanghai, to return to the main army in Shaanxi!

In August 1918, Yu Youren returned to Weibei from Shanghai and served as the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Jing[***], and Zhang Fian, who returned from Yanjing, served as the deputy commander-in-chief, and the whole army implemented a unified establishment. The fragmented Jing [***] has since had a unified command.

Although Jing [***] had a unified command, the war with Chen Shufan was temporarily stopped. However, Jing [***] was still surrounded by Chen Shufan, and his situation was still very dangerous.

Hu Jingyi decided to move towards the east, where Chen's army was encircling weakly. Hu Jingyi went to Weinan Gu City to find his old friend Jiang Hongmo. Jiang Hongmo suggested that Hu Jingyi and Chen Shufan make peace. Hu Jingyi accepted Jiang Hongmo's suggestion. Surprisingly, however, Chen Shufan had no sincerity in the peace talks at all.

Taking the opportunity of the peace talks, Chen Shufan abducted Hu Jingyi back to Xi'an and detained him!

Hu Jingyi was the de facto military commander of Shaanxi Jing[***], and his detention plunged Shaanxi Jing [***] into chaos. And at this moment of crisis, the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army made Shaanxi Jing [***] see hope!

In the midst of the roar of artillery fire, Wang Mingzhang didn't hear clearly: "What, who?" ”

"Zhang Fang, deputy commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Jing [***], asks to meet the commander-in-chief!"

"Okay, let him in!" Wang Mingzhang shook off the dust on his body: "Chief of Staff, what did you say Shaanxi Jing [***] is looking for us to contact at this time?" ”

Bai Chongxi didn't think about it: "Shaanxi Jing [***] first confronted Chen Shufan, the overseer of Shaanxi, although he won several battles, but his stamina was insufficient, and with Feng Yuxiang's reinforcement of Shaanxi, the situation of Shaanxi Jing [***] was even more critical. I heard that Hu Jingyi went to negotiate with Chen Shufan but was detained instead, so I expected that they must have come this time to seek our support. ”

Wang Mingzhang nodded, and Bai Chongxi suddenly said, "The commander-in-chief should avoid it." ”

Wang Mingzhang was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Bai Chongxi meant, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go inside to read the book, and I'll hand it over to the chief of staff outside." ”

As soon as he turned in, Zhang Fan had already arrived, and seeing the young officer in front of him stunned, Bai Chongxi smiled slightly: "It's Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang, Bai Chongxi, Chief of Staff of the Wumu Legion of the Lower National Revolutionary Army, and my Commander-in-Chief Wang is supervising the battle on the front line, so I specially ordered me to receive Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang." ”

"Ahh Zhang Fang came back to his senses at this time: "I have heard that the commanders of the National Revolutionary Army's three-way Northern Expedition are all young and promising, and now I see that it is really extraordinary!" ”

Bai Chongxi invited him to sit down, asked a little, and sure enough, it was the same as what he thought!

Hu Jingyi's detention plunged Shaanxi Jing [***] into chaos, and the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army brought them hope.

Zhang Fang came this time in the hope of getting in touch with the National Revolutionary Army and jointly driving Chen Duan!

"I understand what the deputy commander-in-chief means." Bai Chongxi said unhurriedly: "It's just that now Jing [***] is under siege, and my Northern Expeditionary Army naturally has the obligation to save each other, but if the name is not right, it is not good, after the recovery of Shaanxi, is the team commanded by Commander-in-Chief Yu and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang still called Jing [***], or is it the National Revolutionary Army?" ”

Zhang Fang immediately understood what the other party meant, Bai Chongxi wanted to absorb Jing [***] and turn Jing [***] into Wang Hengyue's power.

But now Jing [***] has no choice, with Hu Jingyi's detention, the situation is in danger, I am afraid that before the National Revolutionary Army defeats Feng Yuxiang, Jing [***] will be eaten instead.

Before coming, I had discussed this possible surname with Yu Youren, Wang Hengyue is now the president of the southern country, the Northern Expedition has begun again, and there is great hope for unifying the whole country, in such a situation, it is much wiser to cooperate with him than to be an enemy with him.

After thinking about it for a while, he said angrily: "We are willing to obey the reorganization, join the National Revolutionary Army, and assist in completing the great cause of the Northern Expedition!" ”

"Good!" Bai Chongxi stood up suddenly: "Shaanxi Jing [***] has been reorganized into the 37th Division of the National Revolutionary Army since then, because Mr. Right Ren is temporarily acting as the division commander, and Zhang Fu is acting as the deputy division commander. ”

"Thank you, Chief of Staff."

Bai Chongxi's expression immediately straightened, and his voice suddenly raised:

"Now that our National Revolutionary Army is under siege, I must not sit idly by! Please ask Deputy Division Commander Zhang to go back first, and I will immediately dispatch two planes to bomb Chen's army to relieve the siege of the 17th Division! ”

Zhang Fu was overjoyed and hurriedly said goodbye.

As soon as he left, Wang Mingzhang turned out, looked at Bai Chongxi and smiled: "The chief of staff has a good brain, so that he can use Jing [***], ah, the thirty-seventh division to drag the Chen army and concentrate on eliminating Feng Yuxiang's troops." ”

"The wicked man is the chief of staff, and the prestige of the commander-in-chief cannot be shaken." Bai Chongxi smiled and said: "In the future, there will be repetitions, and the commander-in-chief can also use this as an excuse to reorganize the 37th Division." ”

Wang Mingzhang nodded: "Increase the attack on Nanzheng, and before the 15th, we must capture Nanzheng and complete the attack on Hanzhong." The president sent a telegram in the morning, thinking that if we step up our offensive, Feng Yuxiang will inevitably send people to come to the peace talks, and if Feng Yuxiang is solved, we can concentrate on seizing Shaanxi! ”

"The president has already made arrangements for Feng Yuxiang." Bai Chongxi groaned: "It's just that the great president seems to be particularly interested in some of Feng Yuxiang's subordinates, and has made a special list for us to let these people stay in the army no matter what." ”

Bai Chongxi's words reminded Wang Mingzhang, and he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was a list made by the president himself:

Tong Linge, Sun Lianzhong, Liu Ruming

The president also made a special explanation that no one on the list is missing a hair, and it must be treated well.

Wang Mingzhang is a little confused, where did the president get this list, and what kind of amazing people are these people?

The president's thoughts may be best understood by himself!
