The East China Army's attack on Jiangxi was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the situation instantly became full of gunpowder.

Cao Kun, the direct boss, was furious, but he didn't expect Li Bufan, a junior junior, to dare to break ground on his Tai Sui's head, and immediately ordered the mobilization of Hubei direct people to counterattack the Jiujiang line and reinforce Jiangxi, and said to Wu Peifu on the one hand: "Attack Xuzhou, and call me all the way to Nanjing." ”

Wu Peifu didn't take Li Bufan in his eyes, and said proudly: "This is the best opportunity provided by the Anhui system for us to recover the southeast." ”

However, the direct line also needed to prevent the Feng army, so Wu Peifu led eight divisions of more than 100,000 people to the south along the Jinpu line and went straight to Xuzhou.

But what Wu Peifu never expected was that in a low hilly area outside the city, more than ten kilometers away from Xuzhou City, he actually encountered a field position arranged by the East China Army, and the railway was also cut off. This made Wu Peifu extremely angry, this was even more indifferent to him, and he dared to go out of the city to fight with him?

Li Songshan is indeed out of the city to build a field position, in fact, if the enemy is not too strong, the field battle is also beneficial. The first is that it will not cause great damage to the city, and the second is that the East China Army has not actually experienced many regular large-scale battles, and the environment in the city is complicated, once a soldier deserts because of fear, it will be difficult to capture in the battle, which will greatly shake the morale of the army, especially in this kind of civil war, which is easy to cause the troops to collapse.

Seven or eight days have passed since Wu Peifu gathered his troops south to Xuzhou, and in these seven or eight days, Li Songshan unceremoniously threw money, paid money to requisition and mobilize people to repair positions, held the traffic, and built layers of defensive and blocking positions on the periphery of the city, the trenches were staggered like spider webs, and there were complete underground anti-artillery fortifications, and the defense of such complete field fortifications was no worse than that of the city.

"Fighting in the field with Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu let you know what it means to be high and thick! Wu Peifu was annoyed and angry, and really ordered the troops to attack.

Almost at the same time, the outskirts of Jiujiang were also attacked by the direct Beiyang Army from Hubei.

The roar of the artillery shook this important town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the roar of the artillery god beat the earth.

The artillery of the Beiyang Army even surpassed the era of the political axe in Nanjing, of course, mainly 75 mm guns, and there were very few heavy guns of more than 100 mm blocked by the great powers, but its power on the domestic battlefield was also unparalleled.

Wang Zhanyuan, the general of Beiyang, looked at the position of the East China Army shrouded in the smoke of artillery fire with a telescope, and there was a dense barbed wire fence in front of the position, many of which were blown to pieces, but on the artillery position, there seemed to be no movement.

The adjutant stepped forward and said, "Commander." ”

Wang Zhanyuan raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said calmly: "Send a regiment to fight a dozen." ”

Although the training of the Beiyang Army has been relaxed in the later stage, the old foundation is still there. Soon in the order, a regiment reached two hundred meters in front of the East China position, the artillery fire began to extend, and the troops immediately launched a charge with the extension of the artillery fire.

One hundred meters

Eighty meters

Fifty meters

Already approaching the barbed wire, the charging troops finally let out a cry and burst into a full-strength sprint.

But at this moment, a gunshot rang out, and countless steel helmets appeared on the position of the East China Army, and for a time the light and heavy machine guns fired together.

"What!?" Wang Zhanyuan was taken aback, in the telescope, he could even see a blood mist rising in the blink of an eye in the charging team, the opponent's firepower was extremely dense, the charging troops were only a dozen meters away from the barbed wire, but it could make the charging troops unable to cross the barbed wire, you must know that the barbed wire has been bombed in many places by shelling, it is completely passable, but the distance at that point has become a moat.

The troops with heavy losses lay down one after another and launched a confrontation with the East China Bureau, but it was possible that a very small number of counterattacks were possible, and the vast majority of the remaining officers and soldiers were almost overwhelmed by the opponent's firepower.

"Fire on me and suppress the opponent's firepower!" Wang Zhanyuan was annoyed and angry.

"Marshal, our brothers are too close to the position of the East China Army, and they will be injured by mistake." The adjutant was stunned, and then carefully persuaded him.

Wang Zhanyuan said angrily: "The purpose of firing the artillery is to let them withdraw through the cover of artillery fire" Before he finished speaking, he raised his head suddenly, and there was a dull sound of motors in the sky, and it was ten planes flying over the battlefield, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Planes? Although he doesn't know much about airplanes, but he has seen them, in the early days of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai set up Nanyuan Airport to establish aviation, and he was fortunate to witness airplanes, "Do they also have artillery?" "At that time, when the role of the aircraft was mentioned, it was mainly used as an air guide and to negotiate the shelling of Zhuyuan.

The "boom" plane quickly dived, rushed to the artillery position, dropped bombs hanging on the wings, and shook the ground with a violent explosion.

Wang Zhanyuan's eyes were red, and he saw the parts of the cannon lifted in the explosion, and the violent explosion was dense, it was obvious that the bombardment of the aircraft caused the shells of the artillery position to detonate. In a rage, he quickly rushed up a small hill to look at the artillery position, but after a series of violent explosions, the artillery position was in a mess, and his more than 30 artillery pieces could no longer see a complete existence, he only felt a cramp in his heart, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Dashuai!" The adjutant saw that Wang Zhanyuan almost fell, and hurriedly went up to help. As an adjutant, of course he knew how precious these cannons were to the Hubei army, and they were simply Wang Zhanyuan's treasure, but they were destroyed in the blink of an eye, how could he not feel distressed and angry.

"Attack, give me a non-stop battalion of attack!" Wang Zhanyuan let out a roar of exhaustion.

However, the positions of the East China Army were not so easy to break, and the officers at the base were well aware of the well-established defensive positions of the 20 th century, whether it was Wu Peifu who attacked Xuzhou or Wang Zhanyuan who attacked Jiujiang, they all met in the defensive positions of the East China Army, and the most fatal thing was that the artillery was bombed and destroyed by the planes of the East China Army because they had no air defense and no air defense. The two battlefields quickly turned into a head-to-head battle, and it became impossible to conquer them.

However, the empty Jiangxi was destroyed by the Li Air Force, and quickly captured Nanchang and took control of Ji'an. Jiangxi's rear road was stubbornly defended, which also made Sun Chuanfang's troops in Fujian lack ammunition after several battles, and were defeated under the fierce counteroffensive of the East China Army. However, Li Junlie quickly led the old troops to advance into southern Jiangxi at this moment, and Xu Chongzhi seized Sanming and other places in central Fujian and formed a confrontation with the East China Army.

Beiyang direct line saw that stealing chickens could not feed rice, which made Cao Kun annoyed and ashamed, and asked the Hunan army to enter Jiangxi in the name of the center, and Zhao Hengti, the overseer of Hunan, thought again and again, thinking that Li Bufan was too young, which simply angered countless people, and there was no good end to the enemy on all sides, so the Hunan army marched eastward.

Li Bufan and Wu Di never dreamed that it would become this situation, the Guangdong army actually had to advance an inch, and even the grass and Hunan army, which was the wall head of the north and south, actually sent troops to attack him, which really made him embarrassed and angry, and finally ordered that in addition to the Rong Wei Division to stay in Nanjing and Ma'anshan and other important military industrial areas, he personally led the Huben Regiment and two other divisions to march into Jiangxi.

"Fuck your sister, as the saying goes, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, we haven't fallen yet, and these bitches have all jumped out?" On the base car, Wu Di jumped like thunder, he was originally going to cross over and prepare to achieve the hegemony of Huangtu, he was already extremely depressed because the base was accidentally taken away by Li Bufan, so he adjusted his mentality and prepared to become a great military advisor who had no one before and no one since, and became the number two person under Li Bufan who had a base in hand, but he didn't expect that there were so many bastards who wanted to stop his hegemony, and they attacked him in groups, how could he not be annoyed and angry?

Li Bufan sneered: "So what? These miscellaneous people just thought that we would definitely lose to the upper line, especially when we were also confronted with the Yue army, so they jumped out and wanted to take advantage. ”

Wu Di said hatefully: "Our advantage is so easy to take advantage of? When we thwart the direct attack, we want them to look good. I think it is just the right time to take the opportunity to sweep away all the southeastern provinces, and then go on a northern expedition to unify the whole country. He shook his fist fiercely as he spoke.

Li Bufan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "How can it be so easy?" If it were so easy, Beiyang would have completed the reunification of the armed forces long ago. ”

Wu Di sneered: "Beiyang did not unify China not because of insufficient strength, but because of the warlord ideology of the troops, which made it impossible to effectively exert its strength. However, our East China Army is different, although our Tiger Ben warriors (clone soldiers, in order to avoid leaking the news, for this reason the two agreed to call the clone soldiers Tiger Ben) are more rigid, ordinary soldiers are less flexible than ordinary people, but they can ensure absolute loyalty, and combat bravery, our strength can be fully exerted, this is completely possible. ”

Li Bufan looked at the chief of staff Li Huashan and said, "What does the chief of staff think?" ”

Li Huashan said with a straight face: "Report to the commander, it's too early to say at this time. Our top priority at the moment is to concentrate our forces on first crushing the Hubei army attacking Jiujiang, and it is not impossible for the Third Army of Li Air Force to effectively defeat the main force of the Hunan army attacking Jiangxi. As for the strength of the Guangdong army, it was not very strong, and the second army on the Fujian side was completely able to defeat Xu Chongzhi, and then it could go south to attack Guangdong, and the third army counterattacked Hunan, and the commander's headquarters took advantage of the victory to attack Hubei, and held the three passes in northern Hubei such as Wusheng Pass. I think that as long as the First Army can withstand the pressure of the main forces of the direct line, then the direct line will soon lose its offensive ability, and it is not impossible to sweep away the southern provinces. ”

Wu Di said proudly: "The hero sees the same thing." Boss, I am a great military advisor who has seen thousands of military texts, and a great military advisor who has gathered the essence of thousands of Internet writers and readers to make the war strategy of the Republic of China, and I am destined to become the greatest great man in the world."

"Huh?" Li Bufan let out a disgruntled nasal voice.

"No, no, no, you're the boss, I'm the second, hehehe."

"That's pretty much it."

"Hey, boss, let's do it!"
