Chapter 108: The Second Revolution (Part II)
Chapter 108 (Medium)
One word in the history of the Republic of China: "chaos"
This second revolution is also a messy start. Before the war, first put a basin on the opponent's head, and the Kuomintang was relatively expert in this matter, at least better than Yuan Shikai. As a result, several influential newspapers, "Minli Daily" took the lead in spraying, first buttoning the Beiyang government with the hat of assassinating the Song Dynasty, and then all kinds of righteousness occupied.
Yuan Shikai's Beiyang did not show weakness, and he fought before fighting. It's a lot of noise, and it's fun to talk about it.
In terms of military deployment, Yuan Shikai's descendants of the third and fifth towns were very obedient, and when they ordered, Cao Kun and Zhang Yongcheng got together for a meeting. Lao Yuan's order was for them to attack Xuzhou, but never to provoke Bengbu. That is to say, to lay Xuzhou, you can't go south along the Jinpu Road in Chapter 108 of the Second Revolution (Middle), but you have to make a detour.
This battle was too tiring, Cao Kun and Zhang Yongcheng got together, and naturally complained: "What kind of battle is this fighting?" There is a railway that cannot be used, even if Xuzhou is taken, can Nanjing be beaten? Hit Nanjing, Bengbu is on the cheek of Xuzhou. ”
Cao Kun is a rough man and speaks very badly, but this truth is correct. As for whether or not the people's army can be defeated, this was not considered. At present, the Third Division, which is well-fed and well-fed, is it not easy to clean up a group of rabble?
Zhang Yongcheng glanced at Wu Peifu, the new brigade commander beside Cao Kun, because of the battle of Zaozhuang, Wu Peifu was famous. If Wu Peifu hadn't fought resolutely in Zaozhuang and severely shocked the current people's army, the vanguard of the people's army would have been on the front line in Tai'an. This Cao fool is blessed, and his subordinate Wu Ziyu, who was born in a show, is a good hand at fighting.
Lu Yongxiang had someone in the court, and the three newly formed divisions fell to a division commander, and Cao Kun vigorously recommended Wu Peifu to take over. Everyone is happy, and Lu Yongxiang is Duan Qirui's person. Cao Kun is worried about getting rid of him, and it is not a matter of a day or two.
"Zhong Shan, don't complain, let's think about taking Xuzhou first. Zhang Xun and Jiang Gui's title 108 The Second Revolution (middle), that can't be counted on. I knew that I asked the president for money, but not a single soldier has moved until now. Zhang Yongcheng also thought carefully in his heart, compared to the fifth division, Zhang Yongcheng thought that he was inferior. Besides, he didn't make less money in Jinan. Who wants to fight this battle?
Zhang Yongcheng in history is unknown. Maybe it has something to do with personality.
Cao Kun is nicknamed a fool, but in fact, it doesn't end well for him to be a fool. Zhang Yongcheng didn't mean to take him as a fool, but there was something in this, and Cao Kun certainly understood it. immediately glanced at Wu Peifu beside him and said, "Ziyu, how do you say to fight this battle?" ”
Zhang Yongcheng was embarrassed, Lao Cao couldn't give face.
"I think it's humble. As long as he promised to defeat Xuzhou to Zhang Xun, he would be able to send troops. Wu Peifu said a sentence, and the two division commanders were dumbfounded. That's enough to do. The Beiyang Army was killed and lived, and Xuzhou gave Zhang Xun? If you think about it, it really works. It's hard for others to say, Zhang Xun will definitely be able to accept this condition.
"Zhong Shan, Hua Shuai (Feng Guozhang) has already gone south to take the town, why don't you mention this to him? When the time comes, add a Jiang Gui question, not to mention playing Bengbu. Defending Xuzhou is definitely OK. "Zhang Yongcheng is really moved, anyway, his territory is in Jinan. Xuzhou is not given to anyone, besides, next to the territory of Bengbu, who dares to stay in that place longer?
Cao Kun came to a sentence without yin or yang: "What about after defeating Xuzhou?" Leave it to Zhang Xun, can you rest assured? ”
Zhang Yongcheng was choked, yes, Zhang Xun guarded Xuzhou, they continued to go south, who would dare? In case the national defense army in Bengbu gives Xuzhou a visit, it is a question whether the Beiyang Army that has advanced eastward can come back? Speaking of 1,000 to 10,000, you have to solve the key point of Bengbu first, otherwise let alone going east, it will not be practical to stay in Xuzhou...... In response to Sun and Huang's second revolution, Yuan Shikai naturally cleaned up by force first. Feng Guozhang, a special thug, naturally wants to go out of the mountain. This time, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, and personally led the Wuxiang Frame Division south to Jinan, plus the two divisions of Cao and Zhang, and the troops of Zhang Xun and Jiang Gui, with a total strength of 70,000. Well, this number is still a bit watery, Zhang Xun is called 30,000, and Jiang Gui is called 10,000. According to this figure, it is good to pay money, but in fact, it must be discounted a lot. Everyone understands this truth, just put it in your heart and pretend not to know.
The people who greeted him at the train station were divided into Xiaokuai, Zhang Yongcheng and Cao Kun, and Zhang Xun and Jiang Gui. The first two are a little better, with a good complexion and a good mood. The two in the back looked calm on their faces, but their hearts were not steady.
"Shaoxuan, you said that this Feng Huafu is here, who will he let fight this front?" Jiang Gui's strength is the worst, so he is naturally worried about being sacrificed. Since the fight was planted in Bengbu in Fang Jianxiong's hands, Jiang Gui has not eased up until now. finally pulled up ten more battalions, known as twenty battalions to the outside world, and asked Lao Yuan for 10,000 salaries. Yuan Shikai was also interesting enough, and gave 500,000 yuan, and Jiang Gui looked at the face of the silver dollar and came out to take a picture. Otherwise, with his qualifications, Yuan Shikai would have no choice but not to come.
"Han Lao (Jiang Gui inscription: Han Qing), whoever is in the lead will not be your turn. I know my own family affairs, if Yuan Xiangcheng is willing to give some blood, what if he goes for his life? As soon as Zhang Xun said this, Jiang Gui understood that this guy was worried about the benefits, and as for whether he was serious or not, it depended on the benefits.
While everyone was laughing and calculating, the train came into the station.
When Jinan is lively, Bengbu looks quite calm. When a train entered the station, all the munitions came off the train, and the people waiting at the edge of the station swarmed up and began to unload the train.
After Xu Shaojiao returned from Beijing, he went directly to Wuhu to hold a military meeting. Staying in Bengbu was Huyan Aobo, the deputy commander of the Sixth Division. In fact, for the military affairs of the Sixth Division, Xu Shaojiao, who is very good at being a person, does not interfere much. During the reorganization, Huyan Obo was promoted to deputy division commander and commander of the 11th Brigade, who was the actual controller of the 6th Division.
The trains are coming down with military quartermasters, and the supplies loaded from Pukou are coming in one by one these days. The fifth, sixth, and seventh divisions of the National Defense Force have gathered in Bengbu, and the headquarters is located in the railway station.
Outside the window of the headquarters is the train station, Huyan Aobo took the binoculars to look at the scene of unloading the car for a while, and looked back to see Lin Huaichuan and Li Yifeng were studying the sand table, exchanging opinions from time to time. Huyan Obo was very unhappy with this, these two were both division commanders, both with the rank of major general, and he was still a colonel.
Li Yifeng, a major general, Huyan Aobo was still very convinced, and he almost lost his life on the west bank of the Ru River. For Lin Huaichuan, Huyan Aobo was not convinced, why. Of course, if you are not convinced, you can only put it in your heart, and when you see Lin Huaichuan, you still salute obediently. This is also the meaning of Huyan Aobo's reluctance to come forward. In the past, it was still considered to be an elite, but now after the reorganization of the Fifth Division, the equipment is on par with the Sixth Division, and Huyan Aobo has no heart to come forward.
"There are only two regular divisions of the old Beiyang in Jinan, and Yuan Shikai really gives face to the handsome." When Li Yifeng spoke, cold air came out of his nostrils, which was a very unpleasant precursor. At the end of the reorganization of the Seventh Division, the equipment and personnel went up to a higher level, and when they were in high spirits, they were ready to make meritorious contributions, and they never thought that it was not the main force that Beiyang assembled in Jinan.
"Don't dare to underestimate it, the third division is the elite of the Beiyang Army, and in the first battle of Zaozhuang, didn't the people's army suffer a big loss because of the light enemy?" Lin Huaichuan is still relatively stable, and Lin Huaichuan in history is also unknown, and he was disheartened early and returned to the field. In this time and space, he has found a place to use. The newly formed Fifth Division is well-equipped and well-staffed, and it is also bent on making meritorious contributions.
"If you want me to see it, Dashuai shouldn't look ahead, drive directly to Xuzhou, take over the place, and then go north." Huyan Aobo still came over to speak, and his tone was not so calm.
"I think too, the people's army is a group of rabble, I can't count on it, don't send guns to Beiyang when the time comes." Li Yifeng agreed with this point of view, and even ridiculed.
"We only have three divisions and more than 40,000 people now, and Beiyang has 70,000 people in Jinan. This battle is not easy to fight. Lin Huaichuan frowned and expressed concern, it is not a good habit to underestimate the enemy. When I arrived in Bengbu, I found that the aura of light enemies up and down was very heavy.
"I heard that no, the big handsome wants to come to Bengbu in person." Huyan Aobo suddenly lowered his voice and said. The other two looked at each other, somewhat disbelieving.
"Where did the news come from?" Li Yifeng asked, he is also in the first phase of the teaching team, but it is a crash course, but it is also a descendant. Can't compare to Huyan Aobo in terms of news.
"Don't ask so much, there's this anyway. It is said that the marshal has no confidence in the people's army in Xuzhou, and it is estimated that Bengbu will increase its troops. Huyan Aobo pretended to be mysterious, his voice was very low, and he was a little proud in his heart, a friend of his was in the General Staff, and he wrote to him privately about it.
"I think it's like, the military quartermaster train at the station has not been cut off in the past two days, so many military supplies, it doesn't look like three divisions have run out." Lin Huaichuan's words were a little bit of a wake-up meaning. Li Yifeng and Hu Yan looked at each other, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Huaichuan in their hearts. This person is not simple, so he analyzed the clues from here.
As he was talking, Yang Zui, the guard battalion commander of the Seventh Division, rushed in with a gust of wind outside, and said loudly: "Salute!" Ladies and gentlemen, I have discovered the Great Commander. ”
"What?" The three of them were all stunned for a moment, looking at each other, and they all felt incredible.
"Say, where did you see the handsome?" Huyan Aobo was anxious, Fang Jianxiong suddenly came to Bengbu, this is not a good thing. If you see something you shouldn't see, or if you encounter some accidents, it will be a big problem.
"I was in front of a tavern in the city, and I was on my way to the street to buy something, when I saw the captain of the guard beside the big handsome. By the way, there is also a woman, who is very handsome, but a little dark. Yang Zui hurriedly reported, and when Huyan Aobo heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "It's broken!" ”rq!!!
