On the edge of the Yellow River, November 5, 1926.

The whole of North China is now in a state of smoke, and this place on the banks of the Yellow River still seems to be in a quiet and peaceful place. Except for this earthy yellow marching force that is not in sight. This army was the elite of the Central Army that had defeated Wu Peifu in a night battle a few days ago, and now it has been crowned the 21st Division of the Central Army of China's First Iron Army! After the test of the truly brutal war, the 21st Division now appears more calm, and its elite spirit is becoming more restrained. The army of 20,000 men, lined up in a neat marching formation, marched slowly on the Great Plain of North China, and except for the rumbling footsteps, the whole army could not hear any other noise. Anyone who knows a little about military affairs can feel a strong aura of slaughter when he looks at it from a distance.

Luo Yaoguo and Deng Yanda were also neatly draped at this time, riding a tall horse, surrounded by a team of elite cavalry, marching slowly.

"Brother Fuwen, such an elite deserves the title of the best in the world?"

Deng Yanda triumphantly pointed at the unsightly army with a horsewhip. The tens of thousands of elites in front of him were all created by him with all his hard work, and now he can finally dominate the land of the Central Plains, and it seems that he is invincible. How can this situation not make him excited and emotional?

Luo Yaoguo straightened up on the horse, looked at the high-spirited Deng Yanda, and sighed repeatedly: "The fierce battle last night, not to mention our China, even the world has very few troops that can withstand your 21st Division!" This unit trained by the methods of the Red Army is still different! ”

Deng Yanda laughed: "Isn't the National Revolutionary Army built by Brother Fuwen an opponent?" Why don't you learn the true skills of other people's GCD like us! In my opinion, the world in the future will be a sea of red flags! Unless we can keep up with this era and completely transform the Kuomintang upside down, otherwise, ...... How is it the opponent of the Red Army? My 21st Division is so good at fighting just after learning a little bit, if it is really the elite soldiers of the Central Red Army, I don't know how powerful it is! I can't tell you that your 20 divisions [***] can't defeat more than 100,000 people! ”

Looking at Deng Yanda, who was already a little proud and didn't know the height of the sky, Luo Yaoguo just nodded in agreement. As for the combat effectiveness of the 21st Division, he naturally had a clear idea of it. This army is actually a copy of the GCD strong army in history; With a first-class fighting spirit and a third-rate level of training and fourth-rate weaponry, if there is still a super-first-rate military command, it will certainly be a strong army. The most suitable thing for this kind of army is to fight a chaotic war, and even the US military has suffered in North Korea in history. But if the two sides really stabilize their positions and fight apart...... Now any division of [***] can defeat Deng Yanda's 21st division.

"By the way, have you talked to Feng Yuxiang about how to allocate the territory of Henan Province?" Luo Yaoguo smiled and asked about the distribution of benefits after the war, he was more interested in Henan's territory than fighting. At present, the first step has been taken in the construction of heavy industry in southern China, and the development of this heavy industry is inseparable from coal. Henan is the second largest coal-producing province in China in this era, and the transportation is also very convenient.

Deng Yanda smiled coldly: "Naturally, whoever grabs the turf belongs to whom!" Our 21st Division shed blood and sacrificed to defeat Wu Peifu, even if we took the whole of Henan, it should be. He Feng Yuxiang is still blocked in Shaanxi County, just like him...... If it weren't for us, I'm afraid even the old nest in Guanzhong would have to be taken away by Wu Peifu, right? ”

"That's good! That's good! Luo Yaoguo laughed loudly:

"I'm also worried about what agreement you signed with Feng Huanzhang to divide half of Henan Province with him. Brother Xuesheng may not know that the most oil and water in Henan Province is the central part of the country. Not only the Jinghan Railway has hit here, but also there are rich coal resources here. Heavy industry in the south now requires a lot of coal. If this land is controlled by you, you will be able to earn 20 or 30 million a year by collecting coal taxes. It's more than enough to raise 100,000 strong soldiers! But don't let Feng Huanzhang take it away. ”

Deng Yanda took the reins, turned his head to look at Luo Yaoguo, and his face was a little incredulous: "I can receive so much money!" It seems that the territory in the central part of Henan Province really can't be ceded out, but it's just ...... Can Feng Yuxiang agree? ”

……

Shaanxi County.

This small city has blocked Feng Yuxiang's 100,000 national army for five days! And even if Feng Yuxiang is given another five days, he will definitely not be able to beat it. This is not because of the poor combat effectiveness of the National Army, nor is it the tide of Feng Yuxiang's fighting skills. It's that this is a dangerous terrain that is difficult to navigate. There is only a short two or three kilometers of flat land from the edge of the Kushan Mountains to the Yellow River, and if the army wants to pass, it can only step on the strongly-fortified positions of the direct army. And the one who defended there was Peng Shouxin, who was famous and good at defensive warfare!

In the night, the tall Feng Yuxiang stood quietly, and behind him stood the cronies of the National Army.

After several days of hard fighting during the day, he decided to try a night battle, and the time was tonight. Under the cover of night, tens of thousands of elite troops of the National Army will launch a night battle against the county seat of Shaanxi County and the Lijiawa Heights in the south of the city! Strive to break through the defenses of the direct army in one fell swoop tonight.

At this time, Feng Yuxiang locked his thick eyebrows, stared at the bloodshot tiger eyes, and stared at the direct army position in the distance. He also knew that the current national army's blind onslaught regardless of life and death was a wrong tactic. There is no other way to fight such a stronghold than to fight steadily, advance step by step, and slowly grind away the enemy's outer positions until the most core part is exposed, and then break through in one fell swoop. However, this style of play is a time-consuming and laborious job, if ...... His friendly army, the 21st Division of the Kuomintang Left, did not win the great victory in the night battle of Qixian, and he could naturally be consumed slowly, although his army rations were already somewhat insufficient, but he could always meet the grain for ten days and a half by "borrowing" it from the common people.

And now, he doesn't have that much time. Because his enemy is not only Wu Peifu, but also the group of Kuomintang leftists who fight with him! If he spends half a month here...... I'm afraid that the fattest land in Henan will not have anything to do with me, right? When the time comes, where will the expenses of the hundreds of thousands of troops come from?

At this time, more than a dozen 75mm mountain guns of the Nationalist Army had begun to be fired sporadically, and the Nationalist Army did not have the big deal of knocking out 10,000 shells at a time. Now the shelling of the National Army means to tell the opponent that they actually have artillery.

After a few so-so shots, the artillery of the National Army could wash and go to sleep, even if they had completed their mission. The rest is for the infantrymen.

In the first wave of charge, there were probably two regiments of national officers and soldiers wearing gray uniforms in a stormtrooper formation under the cover of night. More than 3,000 people formed several waves of gray human lines, slowly walking forward. After a few steps, they stopped to fire a few shots, and the machine-gun companies assigned to the two regiments also approached the enemy positions from the flanks to cover the advance of the infantry with fire.

"Ji Shiwu (Ji Hongchang) is still quite disciplined!" Feng Yuxiang praised softly. In such an urgent situation, he can still play such a calm attack, this Ji Hongchang is indeed extraordinary, compared to those twilight veterans of the national army, I don't know how many times stronger.

A ball of fire suddenly rose in the wave-like formation of the Nationalist Army, and this was the cannon of the direct army that began to fire. Soon, dozens of balls of fireballs rushed into the sky to knock out the breaches of the national army's charging formation, but under the control of the middle and lower rank officers, they still maintained the formation of the skirmish line and pressed it up at a brisk pace......

A row of large and small fires flickered again on the distant city wall, and it was the rifles of the direct army that fired. This was followed by more than a dozen tongues of fire spewing out from various firing points. The continuous sound of gunfire seemed to be some kind of magic sound, which frightened the charging national officers and soldiers to quickly lie down, and each of them looked for favorable terrain to crawl forward. Crawl forward slowly, while also returning fire with rifle fire, trying to overwhelm the opponent's resistance with fire, and charge again. But the firepower of the direct army is now far above that of the national army, where is it so easy to be overwhelmed? This situation is nothing more than ammunition that both sides are constantly consuming blood.

Seeing that his army had already lost the courage to charge to the death, Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but spit and scolded: "Mother! This kind of play will not be able to win Shaanxi County for another ten days! How can this Ji Shiwu not boast like this? ”

"Dashuai, we can't ......" Lu Zhonglin's voice suddenly sounded in Feng Yuxiang's ears, but he was sluggling and spitting, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What can't be? If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! Feng Yuxiang turned his head and glared at Lu Zhonglin, who was standing behind him, and scolded: "Damn, why do you Lu Ruibo look like a bear?" ”

"Dashuai, this Henan is now a situation where the two tigers are competing for each other, and we can't waste our strength here!" Lu Zhonglin stomped his feet, as if he had spit out the heartfelt words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"I know it's two tigers fighting! If I don't defeat Wu Peifu, the tiger, why should the mountains and rivers of Henan give us? Where will my army of hundreds of thousands go to raise salaries to feed me? Even if I am at GCD, what qualifications do I have to speak? ”

Feng Yuxiang couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and glanced at Lu Zhonglin fiercely with blood-red angry eyes, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhonglin was one of the few brains under his hands, the big-eared scraper would have been pumped up at this time.

"Handsome! You don't understand what I mean. Now it's not you and Wu Peifu who are fighting, but you and Hu Jingyi and Deng Yanda are fighting for Henan! Wu Peifu is already a general of the defeated army, either he will fall or go north to Shanxi, and there is no place for him to stand in Henan. What really competes with us for this piece of fat in Henan is the 21st Division of the Kuomintang leftists! Lu Zhonglin knelt at Feng Yuxiang's feet, crying and continuing to admonish.

Feng Yuxiang's expression looked a little better, but he still reprimanded with a calm face: "Ruibo, you are confused!" Now we have to go forward and not retreat. If we don't defeat Wu Peifu quickly, I'm afraid that the territory of Henan will be robbed by others! Where is our share? ”

"Nope! I'm not confused! It's the handsome man who is confused! Lu Zhonglin climbed a few steps, hugged Feng Yuxiang's thigh, and cried: "Dashuai, think about it, why can we come to Henan to scrape the ground?" It's not up to you to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers! As long as you have soldiers, they will always give you some oil and water. If...... Our strength is exhausted, even if we catch Wu Peifu, what can we do? At most, I just ask you to go to Wuhan to be a committee member. ”

These words seemed to be an initiation, and they suddenly made Feng Yuxiang sober up a lot. Now in this situation, it is not who killed Wu Peifu, and Henan belongs to whom. If that were the case, Wu Peifu would probably be wiped out in the night battle in Qi County. Aren't those Kuomintang leftists just trying to drain their own strength? Consume yourself cleanly, they can swallow Henan alone, right?

Lu Zhonglin had already stood up at this time, leaned close to Feng Yuxiang's ear, and said in a low voice: "Dashuai, the battle of Henan is about to end...... What we can't get on the battlefield can only be fought for from the negotiating table. And at the negotiating table, the only soldier we can rely on is this army! ”

"What you can't get on the battlefield, can you get at the negotiating table? Is he Liao Zhongkai really so good at talking? Feng Yuxiang frowned and shook his head.

Lu Zhongli smiled deeply: "Henan is the two tigers that we are fighting with the left faction of the Kuomintang, but within the Kuomintang it is the right faction and the left faction that are fighting!" Liao Zhongkai and Deng Yanda are probably not only focusing on Henan Province, but the entire Kuomintang, right? They are now only the strength of a division, so how can they fight in the Kuomintang with these strengths? Only by pulling in our army of more than 100,000 can we stand up to the rightists. Therefore, as long as our strength is still there, Liao Zhongkai and Deng Yanda will definitely come to win us over in the end......"

“…… Even if Liao Zhongkai doesn't want us, isn't there still a Kuomintang rightist? Hu Hanmin, Xu Chongzhi, Chiang Kai-shek, and even Luo's uncles and nephews probably didn't want the Kuomintang leftists to return to the Central Committee to compete with them for power and profit, right? We are also hanging the signboard of the Kuomintang now, and Liao Zhongkai cannot use force against us casually. So let's not be afraid that he will be strong, and it's a big deal to bring the lawsuit to Sun Cannon. Even if Sun Cannon wants to protect the calf, there are so many rightist bigwigs to help us speak, what are we afraid of? ”

"That's right! You're right. Feng Yuxiang patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Brother Ruibo! You really deserve to be my brainchild, just now my brother spoke a little rushed, it's that I can't stand you, I'm going to kneel down and apologize to you......"
