The train escorting Qi Ying arrived in Texas, and it was not good to move forward. The capacity of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info railways has reached its limit. The supplies transported from Shandong to Hebei occupied the entire transportation schedule, and in the end, Qi Ying could only be stuffed onto a temporary train and a batch of food all the way to the front line in Hebei.

The soldiers who were guarding him were so affected that they had to be crammed into a carriage with a mountain of cans, and their temper was naturally not good. So Qi Ying really suffered a lot of punches and kicks. He tried to bribe and other ways to get the escort soldiers to let him go, but in exchange, he was beaten hard, so he also restrained a lot.

Although he was a captive, Qi Ying found that his treatment was not bad, he could eat two meals a day, and he could actually eat enough. Although Jiangsu is the land of fish and rice, it is also a luxury to have enough food in Jiangsu Province, and the prisoners will definitely not get this kind of treatment. Maybe it's the preferential treatment of generals? Referring to the principle of preferential treatment for generals prevailing at this time, he regarded this treatment as a benefit brought by his status.

The wagon is said to have no windows, but fortunately, the train was originally a passenger car, but it was converted into a wagon, and in order to take care of the robe, they were arranged to be located close to the window. Not daring to talk to a black-mouthed and black-faced soldier, Qi Ying had no choice but to look out the window.

The speed of the train is not fast, the main thing is that it can't be fast, there are too many trains on the railway, and if the speed is not slowed down, it is likely to bring difficulties to scheduling. With this convenience, Qi Ying has time to observe her surroundings. On both sides of the railway line, in the fields and ditches, civilians carrying carts and burdens can be seen everywhere. Qi Ying didn't feel strange about this kind of scene, there have always been wars, and the common people have to run. After the war in Jiangsu, the people who fled filled the train tracks, more chaotic than the people who only moved on both sides of the railway.

But as the train progressed, Qi Ying gradually discovered that these people were very different from Jiangsu. First of all, although there are men and women in the team, there are no old and weak. Even if the situation is critical, everyone abandons the elderly and flees, and they will not leave their children behind. There wasn't a single child in this team, which was weird. In addition, although people pushed carts or carried flat poles, most of them only carried food and no other supplies. The common phenomenon of farmers putting their belongings in a package is not even seen.

Due to the distance, he couldn't see the expressions of these people, but after all, he was born in the army, and he still had some eyesight. Qi Ying could see that these people were not walking aimlessly, but moving forward in a certain order. Although this order is very chaotic and there are problems in its own scheduling, there is still order after all. In the team, there are even people who serve as commanders to guide the people in the direction of progress.

Looking further, he suddenly realized that the direction in which these people were moving was the same as his own, and they were not fleeing the war, but taking the initiative to flock to the front line of the war, which was too unbelievable. Could it be that someone is actively seeking death?

"Don't look at it, these people are not fleeing, they are going to the front." The officer in charge of the escort said coldly: "This is the war that we Shandong people are going to serve the marshal, and it is also a war to protect our own property and welfare. If Anhui wins the world, will it still ensure that the crops will grow as much as they reap? Will workers be given public leave and pensions? In order to ensure this, we also have to fight. All walks of life in Shandong are now voluntarily working overtime to support the front line. The peasants took the initiative to form transport teams to help the front line transport supplies and serve as masters. If you bet on the wrong dealer, you deserve to be unlucky. ”

When the car came to Baoding, it was replaced by a large car, so the speed of action was even slower. The crowd was mixed with the cart, and the sound of speech could easily be heard in the cart. The enthusiasm of the people was very high, and they did not seem to feel that there was any danger in the direction they were going, and regarded the support of the front line as a repayment.

In fact, including the area where they are now operating, it is also within the range of the Anhui cavalry. The main cavalry of the Lu army was far away in Henan, and it was difficult for the remaining cavalry to effectively cover the battlefield and protect the rear. According to Qi Ying's thoughts, these people may face the attack of the Anhui cavalry at any time, and they should at least be vigilant. But from their answers, Qi Ying could hear that these people were not worried about the arrival of the cavalry of the Anhui army, and some people even hoped that there would really be a cavalry to come as a pastime for themselves, just kill a few people, and make meritorious contributions to the commander.

Zhao Guanhou's headquarters was located in the mansion of a landlord in the countryside. Although there was no telegraph line available, it was not too far from the battlefield, and the situation on the front line could be transmitted through the cavalry, which did not affect anything. In the headquarters, a high-proportion military map is hung high, and the entire Hebei terrain can be said to be invisible in front of this map.

Qi Ying's eyesight was not good, so he glanced at it in a hurry, and he didn't see it very clearly, only seeing the colorful colors on the map, marking a lot of information with different colored pens, as well as graphics, but he didn't know what it meant. Beside Zhao Guanhou, there were several women with different appearances. Among them, Su Hanzhi, Jiang Fengzhi, and Cheng Yue are the ones he knows. A beautiful woman should be the goddess of wealth in Songjiang, and the others can't be recognized.

The person was pushed to the desk, and the person in charge of the escort reported to Zhao Guanhou, who glanced at Qi Ying, gave the officer a few words of encouragement, and let them go down to receive the reward and rest. Qi Ying said: "Zhao Guanshuai, my brother is a Gonghe martial artist and supports the Zhengfu, this can't be wrong, right?" Of course, in the hands of your Lu army, I have nothing to say. But even if you want to deal with me, you have to have a convincing charge......"

Zhao Guanhou sneered, "Killing you, are you still guilty?" Anhui killed my brother, have you ever been charged? If I kill you, why should I be guilty? Wait with peace of mind, after I grab the little fan, I will behead you all and sacrifice to my two brothers. ”

He pointed to the map, motioned to the two guards, and pushed the person in front of the map, Zhao Guanhou came to the map and pointed with his baton, "I know your eyes are not good, so get closer and see what is on it!" ”

Due to the proximity, it can be clearly seen that on this high-scale map, the station, strength, supply situation, and direction of the various units of the Anhui army are marked. Including the situation of the left-behind troops in Beijing, it is also clearly marked. The time of the annotation of the information is impressively up-to-date.

Qi Ying's heart fell to the bottom in an instant. The fact that the Lu army was able to get such detailed information shows that the Anhui army has been very seriously infiltrated by them, and the battlefield is equal to one-way transparency, how can this be fought?

Zhao Guanhou snorted coldly: "Xu Youzheng is a genius, he pushed his allies and friends to the side of Shandong. Before the outbreak of this campaign, Shandong did not have so many friends, and it was only after the full-scale outbreak of the war that these people switched to Shandong's side. Only a fool like you chose to be friends with the Anhui army. Wait well, it won't be long before Xu Youzheng will come to see you. Take it down! ”

The soldier pushed Qi Ying down, Qi Ying knew that the general trend was gone, so he only cursed loudly: "Xu Youzheng, you are all harming me!" ”

"When death is on the verge of death, but you don't know what you are doing wrong, this kind of stupid person is destined to be saved." Zhao Guanhou looked at Qi Ying's back and said coldly: "The two enemies have already caught one, and now, there is only another left." Now, let's go get the other one out and kill them. ”

The main cavalry division of the Lu army is in Henan, which does not mean that there are no cavalry in their hands. In addition to a cavalry regiment, a regiment of mounted infantry was stationed around Zhao Guanhou's headquarters, and his mobility was not weak. Walking out of the headquarters and looking around, you can see a team of migrant workers with no end in sight. Since the establishment of the Communist Republic, the number of migrant workers mobilized in the Zhilu-Anhui War was the largest.

Seeing the handsome horse team, the people spontaneously got out of the way, and some of them were bold, and greeted Zhao Guanhou on the horse, Zhao Guanhou wore white gloves on his hands and waved to everyone. He asked loudly: "Folks, the cavalry of the Anhui army may hit my headquarters at any time." Their death squads may also rush over at any time and throw bullets at us, are you afraid? Do you blame me for fighting this battle? ”

"Don't be afraid! I am a master of Ying, there is no handsome, our family would have starved to death. It was the marshal who gave us the land, and he didn't let the loan shark take away my cattle. Our life is given by the marshal, the people of the Anhui army come, we are not afraid, everyone is a fellow countryman, I see which fellow dares to shoot at the marshal, I am the first to split him! ”

"That's right, when the handsome man fought Fusang, I was a former migrant worker. This time to fight the Anhui army, I can't lag behind. I have four brothers, two are soldiers, one is a worker, and I farm at home. In order to keep our land and my brother's work, we are willing to work hard! No matter who it is, it's right! ”

"That's right, it's right! Shandong gentlemen have never even been afraid of the Fusang people, but they are still afraid of their group of Anhui soldiers? Let's take a look, let's see who's great! ”

From the very beginning of the war, the Anhui army tried to find the headquarters of the Lu army and smash the Yellow Dragon. Cavalry, death squads, chasseurs, all kinds of small units, and pure outlaws, the attack on the headquarters, as well as against Zhao Guanhou himself, was never interrupted. However, objectively speaking, the quality of these troops is far inferior to that of the Fuso Army. The Lu army, which had been tempered by the Battle of Shandong, was an expert at this kind of small unit anti-infiltration operation, and it was not difficult to deal with it.

The two exchanged hands several times, but they always ended with the Anhui army suffering losses. There have also been death squads that have tried to impersonate migrant workers and carry out assassinations at close range. Unexpectedly, without waiting for Lu Jun to make a move, the problem was seen by the migrant labor group, and then there was a unilateral torture and killing. In the face of the huge contingent of migrant workers, the special attack team could not do any effective resistance, so they were cleaned up, and when the Lu army came to try to question the prisoners, they found that they could not even make up a complete corpse.

The person in charge of each village served as the commander, and the Lu army assisted in maintaining order, and although the front team was mixed with men and women, it always maintained good order, which was actually better than the discipline of most Beiyang troops at present. Zhao Guanhou looked at everyone, nodded incessantly, and then turned his head sideways to Su Hanzhi and said:

"Xiao Fan always believes that this time the Zhilu coalition army is outnumbered, but in fact, our army is outnumbered. He only has more than a dozen divisions of border guards, but I have tens of millions of Shandong fathers and elders, but I want to see who has more people! ”

In this duel that decided the fate of Zhilu Wan, although Zhao Guanhou was nominally in command of the Western Front, in fact, he handed over the command of the battlefield to Reinstein and Shang Quan, and he only did auxiliary work. Everyone is good at things and things they are not good at, Zhao Guanhou knows very well that even if he has studied in the general class, he is still inferior to Ryan Stein in the field of command and operation of the large corps. The more important the war, the more important it is to let go of command.

Different from Zhao Guanhou's comfort, in the front-line headquarters, the heralds and signal soldiers are constantly running and are extremely busy. The striker's small temptations have been carried out many times with each other, and the Anhui army has also shown good command ability and training level, and Reinstein also admits that the opponent he faces is not an idle person.

"Cheng Yunhe is a general above the level, but for the outcome of the war, his ability does not mean anything. In front of the great Count Reinstein, any enemy has only one way to die. ”

Zhao Guanhou looked at the map and nodded, "I support your opinion." At the end of this war, I would recommend you to enter the Republic War Department, when the former Jin era, the Customs Department could use Hurd, and the Republic should not be more conservative than the former Jin. In our War Department, there can also be officers of different colors. With your talents, only such a huge stage as the whole Gonghe is really suitable for you. Over the years, the stage in Shandong has been too small, but it has tied your hands and feet. ”

Ryan Stein shook his head and said, "I'm already tired from dealing with the salted fish in Shandong, and if I were to face the salted fish of a country, I might get high blood pressure in advance." For the sake of my body, I think it's better for me to continue to work in Shandong. ”

"Brother Shang, what position do you want?"

Shang Quan smiled, "The commander of the thirty-seventh division is enough." If I had any thoughts before, now, I just want to live in Shandong. The 12 divisions of the Anhui Army, training equipment, are all a temporary choice. Even the Fuso people secretly helped them. But how? Wu Ziyu's side was able to calmly arrange the defensive line and never had a head-on conflict with the Anhui army, the reason was that Xu Youzheng issued orders in a row, strictly prohibiting Duan Xiangyan from firing before him. The first cannon of the Zhilu-Anhui War must be released by Xu Youzheng, and the greatest credit is only for him. With such a commander on top, even if I am asked to open a government, it is not interesting. Looking at the world, how many people can be like the crown commander and give up the supreme command? Even if Shang is not as good as Ziyu, he also knows the truth that the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as a heart. In my life, I will sell it to Shandong. ”

The three of them looked at each other and laughed, left the headquarters, flew on their horses, and rushed to the front. On the western front of the Zhilu coalition army, the three divisions have already chosen their positions and built improvised field fortifications. When they saw Zhao Guanhou's banner from far and near, the soldiers cheered at the same time

"Long live the handsome!"

"Long live Shandong!"
