Under Sun Liechen's stunned gaze, Yang Xingguo listed the disadvantages of the National Defense Army for seven days before stopping. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then he asked with a serious face: "In the face of so many disadvantages, do you still firmly believe that no matter how we fight, victory will belong to us?" ”

"Dashuai, I didn't think about it so much! I only thought that neither the Forbidden Army nor the Beiyang Army were opponents of the Japanese army and Lao Maozi, and the Japanese Army and Lao Maozi were not our opponents, and then we firmly believed that neither the Forbidden Army nor the Beiyang Army were our opponents. Sun Liechen replied with an embarrassed face.

The worry on Yang Xingguo's face finally dissipated a lot, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's not too late to know now." When giving the order, we must tell everyone that we can strategically despise the enemy, but we must not despise the enemy, and by the way, the seven disadvantages I have just mentioned will be forwarded to all the officers of the dozen or more officers by telegram. ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Sun Liechen also returned to seriousness and replied very cautiously.

After finishing, he continued to ask, "What is the mission of the other troops?" ”

"The Fourth Army, immediately marching towards the Yingkou Military Port, protected by the First Detachment of the Navy, landed from Tianjin by sea, and fought all the way to the capital. The specific battle is decided and commanded by Li Zhilong, and there is no need to report to the Marshal's Mansion. ”

"However, I have a request, Li Zhikong must eliminate the more than 10,000 Beiyang troops outside the capital at the lowest cost, and then take the capital and capture all the important ministers and members of the royal family of the imperial court."

"If possible, try not to destroy the shore defense batteries and the imperial palace in the Tianjin military port."

"Guard Division, immediately take the train to Lushun, board the ship from the Lushun Military Port, protect the transportation by the Second Fleet of the Navy, and attack Shandong by sea, and the specific attack time and landing place will be decided by Li Xiaohu himself."

"In the same way, I have requirements for the guard division. While controlling the casualties, the guard division had to destroy the base camp of the Beiyang Army as much as possible. ”

"Of course, the sabotage I am talking about is not to let the guard division kill more people after they arrive in Shandong."

"After entering Shandong, the guard division not only cannot kill people indiscriminately, but also has to find ways to protect ordinary people."

Sun Liechen was suddenly stunned and asked, "Then how to destroy the base camp of the Beiyang Army." ”

Yang Xingguo directly pointed to a point on the sand table, Jinan City, and then said: "After Yuan Shikai arrived in Shandong, the headquarters of the Beiyang Army was also transferred to Jinan City

moved to Jinan City. It can be said that all the wealth and talents in Yuan Shikai's hands were transferred to Jinan City. At present, the garrison of the Beiyang Army in Jinan City has only one mixed association, with a total strength of less than 7,000 people. If the guard division can kill Jinan City with lightning speed and take Jinan City, then Yuan Shikai's wealth and materials stored in Jinan City will become ours. ”

For Yuan Shikai, losing these wealth, the Beiyang Army may have problems with its military salary next year, let alone continue to expand the army. Unless there is a windfall from heaven, he doesn't have to think about it. ”

Sun Liechen's serious face became fanatical again, and he analyzed Yang Xingguo: "Not long after the autumn harvest in the Central Plains, the several provinces controlled by Yuan Shikai have all completed the autumn harvest and sent the tax silver to Jinan City. It can be said that the current Jinan City is a fat sheep, and whoever takes her will be rich. ”

"Marshal, I'm sure, taking Jinan City and robbing the Beiyang Army of a year's military expenses will definitely make Yuan Shikai vomit blood more than destroying more than 10,000 Beiyang Army. I agreed that after the guard division landed in Shandong, it took advantage of the emptiness of the Beiyang Army's Shandong troops and directly sent troops to take Jinan City. ”

Yang Xingguo shook his head with a smile, and Sun Liechen, who was puzzled, hurriedly asked, "Dashuai, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, but there is one more thing in Jinan City that is more important to Yuan Shikai than silver."

Sun Liechen immediately reacted: "Dashuai, you mean the talent you just mentioned!" ”

At this time, Sun Liechen already showed a sudden expression of realization on his face: "I understand, although Yuan Shikai went to the front line, his staff and the headquarters of the Beiyang Army are still in Jinan City. If all of them were captured, the command of the Beiyang Army would be paralyzed. Of course, Yuan Shikai can reorganize the headquarters and the marshal's mansion, but it is not so easy to find his subordinates who are experienced and can be trusted. ”

"Those are the two things!" Yang Xingguo finally showed a very affirmative smile on his face.

"This time, I not only want Yuan Shikai to lose his wife and soldiers, but also to make him cry without tears because he lost Jinan City, and make him vomit blood."

"It will definitely make Yuan Shikai, if I were Yuan Shikai, I would definitely vomit blood in the face of this result. One is not good, and it is possible to commit suicide directly. Sun Liechen agreed with great confidence.

After solving this problem, Yang Xingguo continued to order: "As for the assembled troops of the second and third armies, set off by train, assemble in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and launch an attack from Shanhaiguan in the direction of the capital. After taking the capital, he joined forces with the Fourth Army to form a new offensive group and attack in the direction of Shandong, occupying as much territory as he could in Shandong before encountering the main force of the Beiyang Army. ”

"It's the same with the First Army. After the Beiyang Army retreated, it was necessary to solve the main force of the forbidden army within three days, and then send at least two main divisions to attack in the direction of Henan. As with the task of the Fourth Army, before encountering the main force of the Beiyang Army, it will occupy as many places as it can. ”

Sun Liechen once again showed a puzzled expression on his face: "Marshal, isn't our attack only the two goals of taking Gyeonggi and overthrowing the imperial court, how has it changed now, even the two provinces of Shandong and Henan controlled by the Beiyang Army are also attacking." ”

"That's because I didn't expect you to gather so many troops, a full 30,000 more troops than I expected." Yang Xingguo explained very cheerfully.

"There are more offensive troops, and the target of this operation must be increased, otherwise the extra 30,000 offensive troops will not play a role?"

Three days later, more than 40 shore defense guns that Feng Guozhang had been looking forward to were finally sent outside the capital.

Feng Guozhang, who had been suffering for three days, couldn't wait for a long time, and as soon as the shore defense artillery arrived, he ordered the artillery to start erecting artillery, preparing to attack the city, and teach the forbidden army in the city a lesson.

For three days, because he was not equipped with artillery that could suppress the forbidden army. Although he was the attacking side, he played very aggrieved in the attack for three consecutive days.

The forbidden army, which had superiority in strength and firepower, used artillery at every turn to shell the tentative attacking troops it had sent out.

Three days of tentative assault were not expected to result in too many casualties. But in reality, two or three hundred people were lost in each target. The combined main forces of the two towns lost nearly 2,000 people.

Now that the shore defense artillery that can counterattack the forbidden army has arrived, Feng Guozhang, who was holding back his anger, the first thought in his heart was to use artillery fire to give the forbidden army in the city a profound continuity, not only for revenge, but also for revenge.
