16. The opportunity has come
There are many phantoms in the land of East China, and both the Beiyang direct family and the Kuomintang have sent people to lobby supporters.
The landlords and wealthy families in East China hate Li Bufan to the core, in their opinion, what is wrong with Li Bufan according to convention? This has been the case in China for thousands of years. But Li Bufan is very difficult to accept the right to finance, not to mention, and also compulsorily stipulates tenant rent, which is simply cutting off people's money. Moreover, the continuous rebound, how many once majestic officials have fallen, which not only cuts off people's financial routes, but also ruins people's future. This is simply an enmity between the heavens, as long as Li Bufan is in one day, they will not have a good time.
"Here's our chance." The relationship between the wealthy families was intertwined, and many families had friendships with the Kuomintang in Beiyang in order to keep the right and left, and the alliance between the Beiyang direct line and the revolutionary party made them confirm that East China would be defeated. Li Bufan's actions in East China have made them suffer unprecedented shame and humiliation, how can they give up such a good opportunity?
"Here's your chance!" The degraded officials also trembled with excitement, and moving to Li Bufan was a great achievement, and they would not only be able to make a comeback but also rise to prominence. The family of the corrupt official who was shot also gritted their teeth, and was finally able to take revenge, maybe the family could send someone to "inherit" the former's position and still maintain power.
"Here's your chance!" Although those corrupt officials who are still in office have not fallen for the time being, they are also walking on thin ice and trembling, and they don't know when a catastrophe will come, or even fall to the ground. Well, now East China is under siege and defeat is imminent. As long as Li Bufan falls, then they don't have to worry about it anymore, and they can still make a lot of money.
"Here's your chance!" The gangster forces that have been strongly suppressed by the East China Army have gritted their teeth, and their brothers who have suffered countless deaths and injuries have had enough of them living like lost dogs under the strength of East China. If Li Bufan does not fall, East China does not fall, and they will not be able to see the sky again.
As a result, a gunshot rang out, and the entire land of East China fell into a rage, especially countless gangsters and ruffians took advantage of the fire to rob, and the forces of all parties almost simultaneously besieged the political axes in all parts of East China, and even a large number of officials acted as internal responses, and blood flowed like a river for a while.
The continuous news reached Li Bufan, who was already on the front line, and his whole body was trembling, and he didn't know whether it was anger or fear.
Wu Di was already furious, and howled viciously: "Damn it, these bastards. We should have learned from Taizu a long time ago and put them all together, and it would be a disaster to keep these miscellaneous pieces. Boss, your kindness is regarded as weakness, this old society has rotted from its roots, and if you want to regain its vitality, you must completely reshuffle the cards. What are you waiting for? We're going to kill them all right now, and we're going to kill them all like they're chopping melons and vegetables."
The entire command car was an invincible angry voice, and Li Bufan was like a statue, not moving.
After a long time, Li Bufan said in a hoarse voice: "Are you sure that Tiger Ben is absolutely loyal?" ”
Wu Di was stunned and said, "Of course." Otherwise, who would dare to take it on an expedition? Of course, these ordinary tiger bents are copied with your blood, oh, with your DNA, and are loyal only to you. ”
Li Bufan said solemnly: "That's good." When something like this happens, I think both the direct line and the revolutionary party in Guangdong will think that this is a great opportunity. ”
Wu Di was stunned and couldn't help but say, "What do you want to do?" Ready to ignore East China for now? That's our lair, boss. ”
Li Bufan said viciously: "The nest is gone, as long as our strength is there, we are still there, and no one dares to despise it." But if our strength is destroyed, there will be no chance of turning over. Every county has a garrison, and the police are under our control, and although the garrison is a reserve, it is all trained by the tigers according to the regular army, and since they are loyal, then they will resolutely resist, and it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose. The most important thing is that we have left the Rong Wei Division in the Nanjing and Ma'anshan areas, and we have also left a division in the Second Army in Zhejiang, so that after securing the core area, we can transfer troops to quell the rebellion, and with the cooperation of local garrison troops, we can break down these rebels individually and wipe them out. ”
Wu Di was stunned for a while, unable to say a word.
Li Bufan said: "It is certain that some counties and cities will be breached, but as long as the core area is there, our East China will not fall." If we withdraw our troops in a chaotic position now, the army's morale will be in turmoil, and the direct line and the Guangdong Revolutionary Party will take advantage of the situation to pursue them, and I am afraid that they will not be able to form an army. ”
Wu Di was worthy of being a traverser, and he immediately reacted, and shouted at the moment: "The boss is worthy of being the boss, and he can still stay calm at this time, and he is worthy of the 'Battle of Verdun' corpse mountain and sea of blood." You're right, I was a little panicked just now. At this time, we should be all the more calm, and only by defeating the main forces of the direct line and the revolutionary army and making the enemy unable to attack can we be determined to clean up this gang of rebels. And after this mess, all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have jumped out, as long as these miscellaneous pieces are cleaned up, then the rule of East China will be completely stable, which is not a good thing, it depends on whether the boss can survive it. At this time, he really began to admire Li Bufan, if he returned to help quell the rebellion according to his heart, even if he finally retained part of the territory with Tiger Ben, he was afraid that his vitality would be greatly damaged, and the realization of his grand plan for hegemony would be far away.
"Keep an eye on the enemy's movements!"
--------------
The nest of the East China Army is in chaos, and if the direct line and the revolutionary army do not take the opportunity to do it, it will be too unqualified.
For this reason, Cao Kun immediately ordered Xiao Yaonan, the 24th Division to reinforce Hubei, and quickly drove from Jiangbei to Anhui.
"Heading for Anhui?" Li Bufan looked at the screen of the base car with a gloomy face, as long as the enemy entered a range of 100 kilometers, there would be nothing to hide.
Wu Di sneered: "Boss, they want to copy the nest of the Anhui system, and by the way, the soldiers will go straight to Nanjing." Once they succeeded, in their opinion, even if we insisted, we would be shaken, and we would really have no fighting spirit and retreat in a hurry to protect the old nest. ”
Li Bufan said lightly: "It's a good time." The troops of Jiujiang were ordered to gradually abandon part of the outlying positions. ”
"Wait!" Wu Di stopped Li Hengshan, the adjutant who was about to convey the order, and said hurriedly, "Boss, you won't really be ready to withdraw, right?" ”
"Withdraw?" Li Bufan sneered, "Just kidding. If we don't make a gesture of retreat, how can the enemy be fooled? What would happen when they thought we were about to be defeated and attacked in a big way, only to be met head-on, and at the same time a division behind them launched a full-scale attack on them? ”
Wu Di's spirit was shocked and said: "Jiujiang is the place of Wang Zhanyuan's death. ”
"That's right." Li Bufan's expression was ruthless, he was really angry, East China was in such a mess, I was afraid that his vitality would be greatly damaged, and he didn't know how many people would die. Then he pointed to the screen of the base car and said, "Send another division, draw five hundred tigers, and lay a big bag waiting for him." ”
Wu Di already knew the fate of Xiao Yaonan's 24th Division, and no longer paid attention to it, there was the precise positioning of the base car, and the other party stepped into the encirclement ignorantly, and the end can be imagined, he estimated that it should also be a copy of Qi Xieyuan, all the officers were shot, and then the troops surrendered after weak resistance. So he smiled: "He is worthy of being the boss of the traverser." It's just that how to deal with the Hunan army? Tang Shengzhi's troops were only the vanguard, but the Hunan army numbered tens of thousands. ”
Li Bufan said lightly: "The two divisions of the Third Army pestered them, and after we defeated the main force of the Hubei Army, the First Division of the Third Army went up the river by boat, and rushed straight to Changsha from Dongting Lake to knock out his lair. We took the opportunity to seize Hubei and hold the Wusheng Pass. ”
Wu Di was stunned and said, "Don't go back to East China?" That's going to be a big deal. ”
Li Bufan said lightly: "Who said that you can't go back to the teacher?" We defeated the main force of the Hubei army and Xiao Yaonan, can we have no prisoners? All officers were not used, and our officers were simply reorganized and marched east to quell the rebellion. It's a regular army anyway, and it should be no problem to deal with a bit of rabble. There were no officers to take the lead, there were in strange places, and the soldiers did not have the courage to rebel. ”
Wu Di said with a smile: "That's right, it is said that the Hubei army has not been paid for several months, and the troops are about to mutiny, and what is the treatment of our East China Army, ordinary soldiers are paid as soldiers, and they are full of food to support our rebellion." ”
"Hahaha" hearty and happy laughter instantly blew away the haze.
"Hahaha" Wang Zhanyuan was also laughing wildly, still holding the telegram in his hand, he finally understood why the Jiujiang defenders of the East China Army had given up many positions in a row.
The adjutant smiled: "Dashuai, our chance has come." I didn't expect their nest to be dying, no wonder they were ready to run away. ”
Wang Zhanyuan's expression turned to a fierce voice: "Order the whole army to storm and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" ”
The military order is like a mountain, Wang Zhanyuan is a Beiyang general, and the generals under his command also know his temper, and after feeling his determination, they will no longer hold back, and they have ordered the troops to launch waves of attacks frantically. But they never dreamed that they would be attacked by the enemy's stubborn and violent storm, not to mention small arms, even mortars, which were rarely used, would become as frantically shelling as if they were not asking for money, causing heavy casualties to the attacking troops.
"The end of the crossbow! They're the last madness! Don't stop, give me all the attack! Although Wang Zhanyuan was heartbroken by the loss of the troops, he couldn't take care of it at this time. As long as he can defeat the opponent with more strength, then all losses will come back, especially the opponent's large number of repeating rifles and mortars, which can completely increase his strength.
At this moment, fierce gunfire came from the rear of the troops, and the adjutant ran over in a panic and said: "Commander, it's not good, a large number of East China troops suddenly appeared behind our army and launched a fierce attack, the brothers were defenseless, suffered heavy losses, and the troops were in chaos. ”
"What !!" Wang Zhanyuan was furious, only to feel that the world was spinning, staring fiercely at the telegram from Yanjing that was still on the table of the headquarters, "Cao Kun misunderstood me, Cao Kun misunderstood me" muttered in his mouth, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.
The gunfire in the rear kept approaching, and the adjutant hurriedly shouted to the guards of the command headquarters, "Quick, protect the commander and withdraw!" ”
On the official road southwest of Dabie Mountain into Anhui, Xiao Yaonan was full of spirit, and after this war, he couldn't run away from the position of overseer. But just as he was dreaming, a "bang" gunshot, and his whole head exploded, as if it was a signal, countless officers were shot in the head, and the troops were in chaos
