In the capital, Duan Zhiquan looked at the battle report from Henan, his brows slightly locked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 From the previous intelligence, Shandong has built a large number of fortifications in the province in the past two years, so it can be inferred that the development of the campaign should be Anhui and Lu, and the main battlefield in Shandong Province. But I didn't expect that the focus of the conflict between the two sides was actually in Henan, and the Lu army actually took the initiative to fight on the outside line.

"The 1st Mixed Brigade of our Frontier Guards broke out in a fierce conflict with the 1st Cavalry Division of Shandong in the Guide area. Our army was attacked by more than three times the Lu army, and fought bloodily, leaving more than 700 corpses on the battlefield of the enemy, and more than 200 casualties of our army......"

Duan Zhiquan looked at the telegram, and then looked at Xu Youzheng, "Tie Shan, is this battle report true?" One of our brigades, can we fight him a cavalry division? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, we just need to make two points clear. First, the Shandong troops did enter Henan, and second, they did not cross the Guide and pointed directly at Kaifeng. Then, judging from the general trend, it is our army that takes the initiative. Even if our two mixed brigades can't eat his cavalry division, plus the Northwest Army and the Shaanxi Army, relying on the absolute superiority of troops, we can finally solve this trouble. And Sun Meiyao, the commander of the cavalry division of the Lu army, is favored by Zhao Guanhou, once she falls into danger, the Lu army will do whatever it takes to respond. Guide is now a meat grinder, and the Lu army can only put its own troops into the meat grinder, whether it is the victory of the Northwest Army or the victory of the Lu army, it is a situation of both defeats, which is beneficial and harmless to me. ”

"The first part of the Feng army has passed through the Shanhai Pass, and the rear army will soon arrive in Beijing one after another, and its 27th and 28th divisions can act as the vanguard for us and capture the flag. With the Feng army rushing to the forward defense line of the Lu army first, our army's losses can be further reduced. ”

Duan Zhiquan said: "I am a little worried about these two divisions. Zhang Yuting and Zhao Guanhou also worshipped, Zhao raised troops for Jinlan this time, he was nameless in the public, and he was righteous in private. The Feng army is based on the integration of bandits, with a strong habit of rivers and lakes. Once Feng Jun refuses to be used by me because he supports Lu Jun, or he will change his ......"

"Then there's no need to worry." Xu Youzheng said confidently: "The 20,000 pigtailed soldiers we have recruited in Xuzhou, after such a long period of training, are enough to fight against the two divisions of the Feng army. Zhang Yuanqi is a brave man with little strategy, and we have the position of a deputy army commander to buy him. Besides, doesn't he like restoration, I promised him that if he defeats Shandong, he can return to Xuzhou and continue to be his former governor of Jin, not afraid that he will not be used by me. This is the enemy and the bandits, which will not damage my foundation, but also be enough to contain the bandits. Whether Zhang Yuting is used by me or not, it is not enough to do harm. Besides, when Zhang Yuting enters Beijing and asks us for military salaries, he can also take decisive action to seize the command of the Feng army. ”

Xu Youzheng pointed to the map: "It is useless to write well in Shandong, and the battle always depends on military force." The Zhilu coalition army was attacked on all sides and was lonely and poor. In the south, Qi Ying's division and Chen Xiufeng started a war, and I have telegraphed an order that Wu Xinshuai will lead the joint fleet and the fourth division of the Songjiang Lu Zhenhe division to cooperate with Qi Ying and capture Jiangxi. Zhejiang's Zhuduan is full of internal contradictions, it cannot control the troops, it has nothing to do, and the Yangtze River valley will soon be owned by us. Luo Chongxuan led his troops to oppose Lu and attack the bridgehead in the southwest for me, and when the Lu army was solved, the Yangtze River Army could wave its division to the south, and the two Guangyun and Guizhou could be passed on to the future, unify China, and achieve immortal achievements, and hope is at hand. ”

Artillery fire rumbled, waves rolled. An old man dressed in a Shandong Navy uniform, brandished a cane, and shouted the order "Shoot!" ”

Although all four warships flew the Shandong flag, more than half of the operators were Taixi people. If anyone knows the identities of several commanders, they should be even more surprised by the true origin of this fleet.

The predecessors of the four warships were all owned by the Prussian Navy, and the commander was in East Africa to give Albion a headache but helpless Bassens and little Liman, who was half black in the sun. The operators of the four warships, as well as the gunners, were all former units that had fought in East Africa, as well as some of the former Prussian navy.

After the defeat of Prussia, the economy had been declared bankrupt, and even the former war heroes had a difficult livelihood. On the contrary, Shandong's ability to provide good treatment, a comfortable life, and the protection of the Prussian diaspora during the war was not a bad opinion for the Prussian army. After the war, hundreds of Prussian Army members were still serving in Shandong, most of them in officer positions.

Inspired by the golden bones, it was very easy for Bassens to recruit people from his home country, as long as he gave the managers a few gold bars or some strong pills, he could successfully complete the exit procedures. Although the Shandong Navy has the word Shandong in name, in fact, it is a semi-international army.

The previous Lu Ying plus these four steam ships, the battle with the Gonghe Navy, the result is two words; Slaughter.

Duan Zhiquan's plan to purchase new ships was successfully sabotaged by Zhao Guanhou, resulting in the Republic Navy being composed of old sail warships that had been eliminated in the Taixi War. These old ships, which can be called grandfathers, did not even dare to make a salvo, and against these steamers, the end was not much better than the target.

However, the Coalition Navy still showed remarkable tenacity, and all the members of the Navy, driving these antiques, heroically rushed towards the Lu army. The flagship waved the flag: "Don't forget the shame of Goryeo, swear to defend the honor of the Communist Party, and the whole army will charge with me." "In a desperate posture, go straight to the Sea Hawk.

The shells splashed one column after another around the Sea Eagle, and the hull of the ship shook one after another, and Sai Jinhua's body almost fell several times. The brothers of the Xia family, who had suffered in the hands of this woman, did not dare to fight Mrs. Zhuangyuan's idea, but they were afraid that something bad would happen to her and they would not be able to bear the responsibility, so they hurriedly supported her and said, "Second aunt, let's retreat?" These navies are crazy, and they still have to let the foreigners deal with them. ”

"Nonsense! You two brothers are afraid of dying and go by yourself, so I don't want to go. If you don't beat them down, don't call me my second aunt! Shandong Navy, you can't let foreigners look down on you, give me a good fight! When I sink a ship, I will take the money myself, reward him with ten big yellow croaker, and find a girl to accompany him for one night! ”

Women are so brave that men have no reason to back down. The Xia brothers nodded, "Since the second aunt is not afraid, we are even more afraid, let's fight!" Go up and see who's afraid of whom! ”

An hour later, Matsue Town Guard Headquarters Interior. Wu Zixin looked at Sai Jinhua who was smiling like a flower in front of him, and his face was like ashes.

"Mrs. Sai, listen to me, we are all misunderstandings......"

The communist navy under his command became the first batch of troops to die in the battle of Zhilu and Anhui. From the beginning of the war to the end of the war, in less than an hour, all the warships were reduced to broken wood and sails. The Shandong Navy's Luying was badly damaged and needed to be overhauled. However, after the naval battle was decided, Chen Leshan, the former commander of the Fourth Division of the Communist Party, launched a mutiny, imprisoned Lu Zhenhe and Wu Zixin, the guards of Songjiang Town, and immediately announced that the Fourth Division would join the Zhilu Coalition Army and accept the command of Zhao Guanshuai.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, Zhengyuan's head office is located in Songjiang, and Shandong has been operating here for several years, and its strength is strong. It is not surprising that the garrison's military salary expenditure is heavily dependent on the allocation of Zhengyuan, and it is not surprising that it has been infiltrated. The officers and men who were originally on the sidelines because of their unknown strength understood the position of the great powers, and when they saw those tall warships and the Lu Ying, which was directly brought into the shipyard by the Albians after the war, they understood the position of the great powers, and they did not hesitate to oppose the water.

As the economic pearl of the southeast, Songjiang is officially attached to Shandong. Wu Zixin, who originally planned to go to Songjiang to make a fortune and hunt for beauty, became a prey in a blink of an eye. Even if she saw the champion lady who was famous early, she had no other thoughts, and only wanted to survive.

Sai Jinhua looked at him and sneered: "Yi is Wu Zixin? I've heard that Yi told people that they want to arrest me and play for three days. Now that people are in front of you, how do you want to play? ”

"Mrs. Sai...... Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding. No, this is slander and rumor-mongering! ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a rumor or not, I just ask you, what are you going to do now? Do you want to die, or do you want to live? Mr. Meng is below, and there are a few fewer people to work with him, I think Wu Xinshuai, you go down, it's very good to give him a hand. ”

Wu Zixin shook his head again and again, "No...... I'm not going...... Don't let me go! Mrs. Sai spares her life, as long as you don't kill me, we can discuss everything. ”

Sai Jinhua raised his arm violently and slapped him in the face with a loud slap.

"Bad seeds! Those navy who died on the river, I don't know what plague they suffered, actually followed such an incompetent commander as you. When you go below, you will only be given Mr. Meng's shoes to shine! If you want to be immortal, it's very easy, tell me what Duan Zhiquan has done, as well as his current military deployment. Write another self-confession and explain clearly the problems of your relationship. As long as you do well, I can spare your life. Otherwise, the law of the Communist Party will not kill you, Sanjin Company has done a lot of things to plant lotuses, if you can plant lotus flowers to the commander-in-chief in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the old men of the Cao Gang will also have to give me a thumbs up! ”

Originally, the newspaper under the control of the Lu department, and Yu Duan's accusations were based on the confessions of the parties. The reliability is not bad, but there is the possibility of referring to the deer as a horse, and the people are also skeptical about it. However, Wu Zixin is not only Duan Gancheng, but also Duan Zhiquan's brother-in-law, with a special identity. When the newspaper published his confession, admitting that the Tanglin robbery case and the railway debt case were all instigated by Xu Youzheng, Duan Zhiquan and others. Twenty-one, the Treaty of the Golden Franc, was also promoted by him, and all the interpretations of the Duan system were pale and weak. With the release of Wu Zixin's statement, most of the cases involved in the series of cases from Meng Siyuan's arrest to his murder have been revealed.

Under the cover of the huge waves stirred up by this boulder, even the problem of two lines of communication was covered up and no longer attracted attention.

Public opinion was in an uproar.

What worries Duan Zhiquan more than public opinion is the belonging of Songjiang and the total annihilation of the First Fleet of the Communists. Among the six towns in Beiyang, the first town was not discussed, the second town was brought by Wang Zichun and became a waste army, and most of the sixth town was taken over by the Lu army. The third and fifth towns formed the Zhilu Alliance and opposed themselves. Now even the fourth town is reversed, and the traditional six towns are all on the opposite side. The joint fleet built by painstaking efforts was also wiped out, and the battle of Luwan was officially met for the first time, and the Anhui system actually lost the door.

The blows came one after another, and before Duan Zhiquan could digest the slap, another slap fell on his face. Chief of Staff Wang Shizhen took his resignation and put the resignation letter on his desk.
