Chapter 133: Prancing Horse Central Plains (6)

Leng Yu hasn't started fighting yet, and the news from Bengbu came back first, and Jiang Gui was called first, that was because Bengbu was on Fang Jianxiong's waist. Just stayed in this position for Jiang Gui, and knew that he was a good soldier.

However, this good hand is relative, and even if it is a good hand, it must have a corresponding good army to exert greater power. Jiang Gui is the remnant of the old Huai army, the Huai army lost all the underwear during the First Sino-Japanese War, and the collapse of Li Hongzhang, the leader of the huge Beiyang Group, marking the decline of a generation of old Beiyang.

Replacing Li Hongzhang is Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang and Li Hongzhang's Beiyang are different, but the essence is the same. The New Beiyang is like that, what else can the old Beiyang Army do? Looking at the whole country, which of today's armed forces is a strong army in the true sense? Everyone is nothing more than worse than anyone, if it weren't for this foundation here, what could there be Fang Jianxiong?

Jiang Gui is a veteran soldier and is cautious enough. The scouts sent out a lot of them, just to prevent Fang Jianxiong from Huainan from being crazy with his waist and eyes, and drove directly over the army. It's really like that, Jiang Gui thought that his thought was complete, and he was originally cooperating with Ni Sichong to fight. Jiang Gui had a good calculation, and when the main force of the Anhui army came, he would run away.

Time retreated to last night, and the scouts sent out by Ni Sichong turned back one after another, and the intelligence showed that there was no shadow of the Anhui Green Leather Army within a radius of 100 miles. Fifty miles, according to Jiang Gui's understanding, this is not a distance that can be reached in a daytime.

Jiang Gui asked his subordinates to drink in the camp and discussed. I wonder if I will send two battalions of horses to attack tomorrow. It's good to make a show, and if you can't beat it, you can run.

A group of subordinates praised the handsome and wise, and everyone drank and dispersed. To say that this Bengbu is really a very fatal position. With Huainan's waist and eyes, next to Jinpu Road and back to Xuzhou, he runs fast.

Zhang Xun was in Xuzhou, and this cargo fled to Xuzhou with 2,000 remnants. The army was greatly expanded, and a lot of fast guns were bought from the Japanese. That place in Xuzhou has been a source of troops since ancient times, and Zhang Xun soon pulled up more than 10,000 guns. It is true that Nanjing was lost. But Zhang Xu dared to start a war with Anhui Greenskin, which is much stronger than others. Anyway, it was a serious battle, although it was lost quickly. But as Zhang Xun who has absolutely no loyalty problem in the eyes of the Qing government. Soon got a new appointment, the governor of Jiangsu! It's just that this governor can only nest in Xuzhou now.

There was also a small episode after Zhang Xun was defeated in Xuzhou, the concubine Xiao Maozi was lost in the escape, this is Zhang Xun's most beloved woman at present, and she is also pregnant. Later, I learned that Xiao Maozi was caught by Xu Shao's department, and Chen Qimei in Shanghai sent a bad idea telegram to Xu Shaojiao, asking Xu Shaojiao to send Xiao Maozi to Shanghai to open an exhibition of reactionary warlords' concubines. Tickets are four corners per person. Chen Qimei said that this move can earn a vote and subsidize some military spending.

Xu Shaojiao didn't do this, and sent someone to send Xiao Maozi to Xuzhou, and Zhang Xunyi was happy. The impounded wagons were returned to Nanjing, but when they arrived at Pukou, they were detained by Huyan Aobo.

Gossip aside, Bengbu is an important town along Jinpu Road, no matter from which point of view, Fang Jianxiong will have to fight Xuzhou sooner or later. Covet Shandong. Therefore, Li Xiaochuan's initiative to ask for battle, Fang Jianxiong resolutely supported it.

Li Xiaochuan led his troops to Bengbu, and soon after dark, they rushed to Qinji Town outside Bengbu. Someone immediately came to contact, and Li Xiaochuan asked someone to bring in, this person was dark-faced, medium-sized, and looked like a coolie on the dock.

"Below is Gao Sheng, deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department, and I have been waiting for Division Commander Li for a long time." Someone came forward to speak, and Li Xiaochuan didn't dare to slack off on him. How can I say it, these people in the Military Intelligence Department are ostensibly engaged in intelligence, but in fact they all know that these people also have the task of surveillance. Besides, they are departments directly responsible for the commander, and the director of the Military Intelligence Department is concurrently Li Muyan, and the deputy director is actually in charge.

"It's hard work, how is the situation in Bengbu City?" Li Xiaochuan was very polite to Gao Sheng, beckoned him to sit down and asked again.

Gao Sheng stretched out his hand and asked for a map, opened it and drew some circles on it, explaining while drawing: "There is a horse team stationed here, about 2,000 people, and there are infantry stationed here, about 3,000 people. ”

Li Xiaochuan took a look and found that Jiang Gui's formation was a posture of running away at any time. The troops are concentrated in the area of the railway station, where is this to threaten Huainan?

Gao Sheng didn't speak, sitting quietly on the side, looking very composed. Li Xiaochuan stared at the map for a while before saying, "Can you quietly touch the location of Jiang Gui's department?" ”

"It's difficult, Jiang Gui is very tightly guarded, and there are a large number of people patrolling at night." Gao Sheng spoke very directly, and Li Xiaochuan had to give up the idea of sneak attack. But he was a little unwilling, looking back at the map, staring at it without speaking.

Gao Sheng said again at this time, it should be possible to touch the vicinity of Jiang Gui's army station. In particular, his horse team was stationed on the edge of Longzi Lake, the outermost area.

Li Xiaochuan immediately reacted, Gao Sheng is building yì how to fight this battle. It's not going to be annihilated in the first place, it's enough to be defeated, so why bother to ask for someone else's headquarters? There are thousands of people anyway, and they are still standing in the city, how can the shelling hurt innocent people?

Li Xiaochuan glanced at Gao Sheng in some surprise, he didn't think that this guy was a good hand at leading troops to fight. "Which one graduated from the martial arts hall?" Li Xiaochuan said casually, but Gao Sheng said with disdain: "I haven't entered the lecture hall, and my humble position is the fire cover of Chapter 133 of the Wuhu Teaching Team." The position of the attack was 300 meters away from the target, and the Qing army horse team had a total of six battalion leaders, and before they could react to what was happening, the assault team had already broken into the camp.

Jiang Guidi was awakened by the sound of cannons, sat up from the bed with a whoosh, and his first reaction was two words, broken!

Unable to wear shoes, Jiang Guidi rushed to the courtyard and looked at the rumbling of the cannon in the distance. Covered in cold sweat like rain, I didn't expect the Anhui Greenskin Army to come so suddenly. The horse team was attacked, but the infantry team was not attacked, Jiang Guidi secretly rejoiced, maybe the intelligence of the Anhui army was wrong, and it would be bad if he came by himself.

As a matter of fact, it is completely impossible for a brigade of troops with Li Xiaochuan to silently launch an attack on the headquarters. Jiang Guidi still made a lot of very effective arrangements.

The pipes and belts of various departments came one after another, and Jiang Guidi finally put on his shoes. A series of arrangements were made at once, leaving one battalion to guard the nest and five infantry battalions to reinforce the horse team.

The battle at the far end continued, and the messy whole team took almost an hour to complete, Jiang Gui was so anxious that he immediately ordered an attack. Two infantry battalions were the lead, and the remaining three battalions were followed to protect.

Jiang Gui thought about giving up the horse team, but the horse team was too important in his mind. In addition, it was his arrangement for the horse team to be stationed outside the city, and he did not save the horse team, worrying that his subordinates would be cold.
