All the peripheral positions were lost overnight, making Feng Yuxiang's whole person feel as if he had been struck by lightning!

The rebellion of Shi Yousan and Han Fuqu was something Feng Yuxiang could never have imagined, and the plan to defend Hanzhong was instantly hit by the destruction of the surname.

The capital for negotiations is getting smaller and smaller. Maybe the other side doesn't want to negotiate with them at all.

The National Revolutionary Army, which had seized the outer positions of Hanzhong, had the victory in hand, and standing on the wall of Hanzhong, it could clearly see that the other side was erecting artillery.

Suddenly, the people around them let out an exclamation and avoided one after another.

Feng Yuxiang looked at the sky, and two terrifying planes appeared in the sky again.

"Guards, guards, planes, planes!" The soldiers on the side shouted in a panic.

"Panic what, it can't up!" Feng Yuxiang finally maintained some majesty.

The planes are not here to bomb.

After circling the sky a few times, the two planes swaggered away again

Looking at the panicked appearance of the people around him, Feng Yuxiang sighed, the army was in turmoil, and it was difficult for the troops to lead.

"Town Guard, let me take the whole battalion and go out to kill them for a while!" A high-spirited voice rang out on the side.

Feng Yuxiang turned his head and saw that it was his newly promoted battalion commander Sun Lianzhong.

For Sun Lianzhong, Feng Yuxiang is very fond of it.

During the Battle of Protecting the Country, Sun Lianzhong carried a mountain cannon of 238 catties in the battle of Longtou Mountain, led the soldiers to attack the Hou[***], and hit the opponent's position with one cannon, bringing a temporary victory to Feng's army.

At the time of Zhang Xun's restoration, a group of young and strong officers were brewing to fight against the "Braided Army". At that time, there was no leader in the group of dragons, and Sun Lianzhongnai, together with Sun Liangcheng, Han Fuyu, Shi Yousan, Liu Ruming, Tong Linge, and other twelve company commanders, intercepted Zhang Xunjun in the Wanzhuang area, and pursued all the way to Yongdingmen.

Feng Yuxiang has never doubted his bravery.

"Imitation Lu, I can't beat it." Feng Yuxiang sighed and pointed to the sky: "Do you know why the plane turned around twice on the top and flew away again?" ”

Sun Lianzhong shook his head in confusion, and Feng Yuxiang said: "The National Revolutionary Army is threatening us. If we continue to resist, they will drop bombs again. The artillery of the Northern Expeditionary Army outside has almost reached my nose, and another burst of bombs will fall from the sky, imitating Runa, and Hanzhong will be finished. ”

Sun Lianzhong was silent.

Compared to the enemy, the gap is simply too big.

Not many people knew Wang Hengyue's true military strength before, but at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Wang Hengyue took out his family's wealth, both planes and artillery, and I heard that even the "tank" Wang Hengyue who was rampant on the European battlefield also had it!

Their shells and bullets can be fired unscrupulously, without any scruples about wasting them, but the Shaanxi army cannot. The Shaanxi army must be careful and not waste anything.

What is the war fought? Nothing more than one word:

Money!

Beiyang is in a hurry, and he has always had opinions on Feng Yuxiang, and he was removed from his post not long ago, if it weren't for Wang Hengyue's sudden Northern Expedition, Feng Yuxiang was hurriedly reinstated, and he was appointed as the Xiangxi town guard, the commander of the 11th Division, and transferred him to Shaanxi, perhaps, Feng Yuxiang is still staying at home now.

But despite this, where does Beiyang have the ability to replenish Feng Yuxiang's ammunition?

"Report to the town guard, the National Revolutionary Army sent representatives to negotiate."

"Oh, really?" Feng Yuxiang cheered up and straightened his clothes: "Please." ”

A lieutenant colonel walked in calmly, and when he saw Feng Yuxiang, he first saluted a military salute, and then said loudly: "Commander Feng, on the orders of the commander-in-chief of the Wumu Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army, I have come to ask your army to lay down its arms before 8 o'clock in the morning on May 20, the eighth year of the Republic of China, and wait for the National Revolutionary Army to enter Hanzhong. Our National Revolutionary Army guarantees that it will not cause any harm to your unit, and it will be reorganized in accordance with the establishment of the National Revolutionary Army. ”

This is a blatant order to surrender, Sun Lianzhong was furious, but Feng Yuxiang said quietly: "I know, I will think about it carefully." ”

The lieutenant colonel saluted again and turned to leave.

"Town Guard, fight with them!"

Feng Yuxiang shook his head slightly.

Put together? What will you do at this time? The enemy has already gained the overwhelming upper hand, and desperately desperate will only plunge himself and his troops into a place of no return!

turned his gaze to his think tank Deng Changyao: "Jiansan, what do you say?" ”

Deng Changyao said in a strong Tianjin dialect: "The town guard, the National Revolutionary Army already has the ability to occupy Hanzhong in one go, but why do they still come to persuade them to surrender? ”

Feng Yuxiang smiled bitterly, Deng Changyao's words "persuasion" can be regarded as saving enough face for himself, where is the other party coming to "persuade surrender", he is simply here to order.

Deng Changyao continued: "Actually, it's very simple, the other party just doesn't want Hanzhong to be destroyed. Otherwise, the planes and artillery will bombard, and the whole city will be burned. And"

He groaned there: "Fight, it must not be able to beat, fight hard, and the whole army will be destroyed." But if you want to fall, there is still a chance to make a comeback! ”

Feng Yuxiang thought about it for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

The battle has been going on so far, and there is no longer much point. Just like Deng Changyao said, if you surrender, you will have a chance to make a comeback in the future

In 1919, on May 20, the 8th year of the Republic of China, Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the 11th Beiyang Division and the commander of the 11th Division of Xiangxi, announced that he would lay down his arms and lead the whole division to surrender!

Feng Yuxiang's previous carefully planned battle of Hanzhong ended in such a form.

The course of the war was far from being fierce and exciting, and the emergence of new weapons and aircraft made the war present a one-sided situation from the very beginning.

And the betrayal only accelerated Feng Yuxiang's defeat.

Wang Mingzhang fulfilled his promise, the 11th Division was reorganized into the 38th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and almost none of the officers at all levels moved, except for Feng Yuxiang.

Feng Yuxiang saw Bai Chongxi for the first time, and sitting face-to-face with a young officer who was much younger than himself, Feng Yuxiang always felt a little awkward.

The commander of the 38th Division has not yet been officially appointed, perhaps this time he came to appoint it in front of himself.

"Master Feng resolutely handed over Hanzhong, so that Hanzhong avoided the loss of life and preserved this historical city, the merit is not small, I only represent the national political axe, to express my gratitude to Master Feng." Bai Chongxi said politely.

Feng Yuxiang humbled a few words, and Bai Chongxi suddenly changed his words: "The president knew the merits of Division Commander Feng, and greatly appreciated it, and personally sent a telegram to promote Division Commander Feng to the deputy commander of the Seventh Army!" ”

"Deputy Commander of the Seventh Army?" Feng Yuxiang was stunned.

"Yes, Deputy Chief of the Seventh Army!" Bai Chongxi nodded: "Right now, the Seventh Army is on the front line in Hunan, and Division Commander Feng has also been in Hunan, so he is most familiar with it, and the Beiyang Political Axe is appointed by Division Commander Feng as the envoy of Xiangxi Town, so it is most appropriate to go there." The Hunan war situation is related to the top priority of whether the Northern Expedition can be victorious, and the Seventh Army is my [***] elite troops, so we have to go to someone like Division Commander Feng, no, Deputy Army Commander Feng, in order to control the situation! ”

Feng Yuxiang understood, completely understood! This is the surrender of Mingsheng and secretly surrendering to himself as a deputy army commander, mobilizing himself in Shaanxi and transferring his troops away!

Once he went to Hunan, he had no soldiers and no power in his hands, and the surrender of a "deputy army commander" was actually just a fence!

But now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, and I have nothing to do!

Feng Yuxiang laughed miserably: "Chief of Staff, I thank the president for his kindness, but Feng has been in the army for a long time and is used to seeing bloody storms, and this time he was defeated, he was disheartened and didn't want to be in the army anymore." ”

"Really? Deputy Commander Feng doesn't want to join the army? Bai Chongxi looked a little surprised, and then said: "The president also said that if Deputy Military Commander Feng does not want to continue to serve in the army, then please start Guangzhou and serve as the deputy chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." ”

Feng Yuxiang smiled.

Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? It's really a big official, but if you go to Guangzhou, can you come back? Thinking of this, he shook his head:

"Thank you, I don't want to be an official anymore."

Bai Chongxi let out an "oh", took out a check from his pocket, and put it in front of Feng Yuxiang: "Here is a little bit of the junior's heart." ”

"What do you mean?" Feng Yuxiang frowned.

Bai Chongxi said lightly, and even his title changed: "Since Duke Zhang doesn't want to join the army, and he doesn't want to be an official, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't force it. This is the travel fee, and if it is not enough, I will immediately apply to the president. ”

"Going on an overseas expedition?" Feng Yuxiang was stunned, and then laughed: "Okay, it's good to go abroad for investigation, go abroad for investigation." Bai Chongxi, help me thank you President for your kindness! ”

With that, he stood up, and strode away without even looking at the check

Feng Yuxiang, formerly known as Feng Jishan, the word Huanzhang, was originally from Chao County, Anhui Province, and was originally from Baoding, Hebei. In 1896, he joined the Fifth Battalion of Baoding as a soldier, and in 1902, he was transferred to the Right Army of Wuwei, and successively served as a sentry commander, team officer, and pipe band. After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising in 1911, he participated in the Luanzhou Uprising, and was dismissed from his post and deported to Baoding after his failure.

In July 1914, Feng Yuxiang served as the commander of the 14th Brigade of the 7th Division of the Army, and led his troops to participate in the suppression of the Bailang Rebellion in Henan and Shaanxi. In September, he was appointed commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade of the Army. In 1915, he was ordered to lead his troops into Sichuan to fight against [***]. In April 1917, he was dismissed from the post of commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade. In July, he led the old unit to participate in the crusade against Zhang Xun's pigtail army, and was reinstated as the commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade. In February 1918, he was ordered to lead his troops south to attack the Protector Army, and was dismissed from his post and retained in his post after electrifying the Lord in Wuxue, Hubei. In June, after leading his troops to capture Changde, Hunan, he was dismissed from his post, and in November, he was appointed as the guard of Xiangxi Town, and concurrently served as the commander of the 11th Beiyang Division.

On May 20, 1919, he led his troops to surrender in Hanzhong, and on May 28, he left Shaanxi to "go abroad for investigation".

Feng Yuxiang's historical mission has come to an end!
