In this anti-direct war, the start of the direct line can be said to be extremely unfavorable, worse than the situation in another time and space. First of all, the Kuomintang Three-Way Army showed its might in the south, and the original estimate that Zhongshan was critically ill and that the Kuomintang was busy with internal strife completely failed. In particular, on October 1 and 2, the main decisive battle between the Kuomintang army and the direct army took place on the front line of the Laodao River in the north of Changsha City, and ended in a big defeat for the direct line! This event, which had not happened in history, suddenly shrouded the inside and outside of Sizhaotang in a pessimistic and failed mood, only Wu Peifu pretended to be calm, pretended to be calm in Sizhaotang, and drank and wrote poems.

However, Wu Peifu's calmness is also relied on. Wu Yushuai set up a clever plan to deal with Zhang Feng this time, and this strategy was called "amphibious landing", which was still a very fashionable way of playing at that time. Wu secretly mobilized a naval fleet and a large number of merchant ships, intending to transport a part of the army to Yingkou for landing, and then went straight to Shenyang to copy the old nest of the Feng department. If this plan succeeds, even if the direct line loses Jiangnan, it can continue to deal with the Kuomintang by virtue of the vast land and resources of the whole of North China.

Although Wu Peifu's naval landing plan is advanced, Zhang Feng actually has an even more advanced method, which is to use aircraft to bomb warships! You must know that it is only 1924, and there are still more than ten years before the naval and air battles of Taranto and Pearl Harbor, and it is really surprising that such advanced tactics appeared in the backward Chinese civil war. As a result, under the bombardment of Fengjun planes, the Navy of the Direct Army finally failed to complete the landing operation, and Wu Peifu's plan completely failed. However, after the war, Luo Yaoguo has always doubted that relying on planes in the 20s to drop bombs can really threaten the direct naval fleet?

The method of amphibious landing and copying the back road of the Feng system failed, Wang Huaiqing could not fight in the direction of Rehe, and Feng Yuxiang had ulterior motives, so the direct army was also defeated and retreated. In this way, the hope of the direct family to save the defeat is only the first line of Shanhaiguan.

The front line of Shanhaiguan is directly defended, and the Feng system is fiercely attacked, and the Feng system at this time is not the Northeast Army in the hands of Young Master Zhang in history, which has been repeatedly defeated except for Chiang Kai-shek's guards, and no other enemy can defeat it. Therefore, the current battle on the front line of Shanhaiguan is extremely fierce and cruel.

The powerful firepower of the Feng army's ten artillery regiments, including one heavy artillery regiment, was concentrated on the Shanhaiguan front to support the infantry attack. Hundreds of 75mm to 150mm caliber artillery guns were deployed at the front of the Fengjun position in Shanhaiguan, and before each round of infantry assault, there would be thousands of shells dragging terrible firelight, roaring towards the position of the direct army, the shells hit the ground, exploded violently, and the hot air wave mixed with countless splashes of metal fragments and gravel swept across the position of the direct army, and immediately brought the hell full of gunpowder smoke and blood to the world.

Peng Shouxin, a fierce general of the direct army, is Wu Peifu's confidant, and the 15th Division under his command is also the main force in the direct army second only to the 3rd Division. This time, it was his 15th Division that defended the front of Shanhaiguan. Although the artillery bombardment of the Feng army was extremely fierce, most of the officers and men of the direct army escaped the catastrophe with the help of carefully constructed fortifications. These battle-hardened veterans were not panicked by the endless shelling of the Feng army, they protected their heads with their hands, curled up in the narrow trenches, their bodies close to the ground, unless the trenches were directly hit by shells, otherwise the artillery of the Feng army was just wasting shells. Of course, this tactic of relying on positional defense and artillery bombardment can only be used to deal with the squadron [***] team with poor artillery level, if it is really replaced by the backstage of the Feng army, the army is shirtless, and the mortars and grenadiers of the people can accurately send shells into the trenches of the direct army, so that the position defense will become a real position to be beaten.

General Zhang Xueliang, who was watching the battle from the Fengjun position outside Shanhaiguan, put down the binoculars in his hand, and his face was actually triumphant. He nodded to Guo Songling beside him and said, "Mao Chen, it seems that Wu Peifu's soldiers should almost be bombarded into slag by our artillery, right?" Let the brothers rush once, and when they enter the Shanhaiguan, I invite everyone to drink. ”

Under the encouragement of Zhang Shaoshuai, nearly 7,000 officers and soldiers of the 1st and 3rd armies of the Feng Army also mustered up the courage and launched the first wave of white assault with rifles!

In the face of the Feng army's desperate death squad assault, the officers and men of the 15th Division, who were directly affiliated with the 15th Division, did not feel nervous at all, because most of their firepower points had not been destroyed in the shelling just now, and now dozens of Maxine machine guns were mounted on the positions of the direct army, waiting for their prey condescendingly.

500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters until 100 meters, hehe, the position of the direct army is silent! Zhang Xueliang, who was watching the battle from behind, was almost dancing happily. It seems that the shells just now were not in vain, Wu Peifu's soldiers were really killed! Shanhaiguan, Yanjing City, and the throne of the president will soon be my father's, and they will be their own in the future!

At this moment, dozens of hot tongues of fire suddenly erupted from all corners of the direct army's position, mercilessly harvesting the young lives of the Fengjun death squad like dozens of life harvesters. The brave soldiers of the Feng army, who rushed to the position of the direct army one after another, fell in rows, and in a short time, the corpses piled up in front of the position of the direct army.

"Kill!" An earth-shattering roar shouted out from the mouths of the officers and soldiers of the two sides, and the white-knuckle battle between the two sides began. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the two armies rushed to their opponents with bayonets, and such large-scale white-knuckle warfare is extremely rare in modern warfare; although the Kuomintang troops from Guangdong and Guizhou provinces also like to fight white-knuckle charges, there is almost no chance of really fighting with their opponents in white-knuckle combat, and often thousands of scolding Guangdong and Guizhou soldiers charge in a burst, and the opponents flee.

"Yo Xi!" A short man in an ugly khaki military uniform on the Fengjun position was watching the white-knuckle battle on the front line with relish, and nodded "Yo Xi, Yo Xi" while watching. This person is Matsui Shichio Daisa, the military adviser of Matsui, the younger brother of Matsui Ishone. He was sent to the Fengjun Army in May 1924 as Zhang Zuolin's military adviser, and Matsui's job was probably to watch the Chinese kill each other, right? What made Matsui Osa applaud again and again was the wonderful white-knuckle fight between the Feng army and the straight army, uh, watching this is much more exciting than watching the black market boxing match in Yuben, and there is money to get, it is really the best job in the world, it seems that it was a wise decision to apply for Lu Shi back then.

However, Matsui's advisor Yo Xi stopped Yo Xi for a while, because at this time, the Feng army was beaten all over the ground by Wu Peifu's direct army in the white-knuckle fight, and they were defeated one after another. As a military adviser, he still has a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Feng army. In his opinion, the elite of the Feng army after the whole army and the military can probably be equivalent to one-third of the combat effectiveness of the ordinary army. Now Wu Peifu's direct army has been defeated! And the best division in Wu Peifu's hands made the Kuomintang army bloody in Hunan! So if you do the math, doesn't it mean that Wu Peifu's soldiers are better than Zhang Zuolin's soldiers, and Sun Cannon's soldiers can fight better than Wu Peifu's soldiers! Well, Zhang Zuolin's soldiers are now equivalent to one-third of the soldiers, and Wu Peifu's soldiers are one-half, so won't Sun Artillery's soldiers have to fight one-to-one with the soldiers? Matsui Daisa counted with his fingers for a long time, feeling that this situation was very serious! It is necessary to remind the military department that it cannot be too dismissive of the Kuomintang.

The Feng army gnawed on the bones on the frontal battlefield of Shanhaiguan for several days, and their teeth fell to the ground, and not a single piece of the position was defeated. It turned out that Jiang Dengxuan and Guo Songling of the first and third armies of the Feng army belonged to two factions, Jiang was a non-commissioned officer faction, and Guo was a Lu faction. The two factions have a bad relationship and compete for power and profit. After the Shanhaiguan was blocked this time, Zhang Xueliang held a military meeting to discuss the battle situation, at which Guo Songling proposed that since the front can't be gnawed, then let's try it on the side, advocating a raid on the nine gates, and Jiang Dengxuan resolutely disagreed. This was originally a discussion of different opinions in the battle, but who knew that it actually developed into two factions attacking each other, and it was almost impossible to end the trouble. In the end, Guo Songling pretended to run away, and Zhang Xueliang chased Songling under the moon, which can be regarded as saving the situation. Later, Guo Songling personally led three infantry regiments and a mountain artillery battalion to raid the Nine Gates, and took the Straight Army by surprise, and Feng Yurong, the commander of the 13th Brigade of the Straight Army who defended the Nine Gates, retreated without a fight and gave the Nine Gates to the Feng Department.

At this point, the battle at Shanhaiguan took a sharp turn for the worse, and Wu Peifu had to leave Yanjing on October 10 to take a train to the front line of Shanhaiguan, and arrived at Yuguan on the 12th to supervise the battle, and mobilized a large number of reinforcements in time to successfully stabilize the front. At this time, encouraged by the victory at the Nine Gates, the Feng army once again launched a full-front onslaught at Shanhaiguan, only to be defeated by the 15th Division of the Zhi Army, which was defending to the death. Subsequently, Zhang Xueliang, Jiang Dengxuan, and Guo Songling repeated the old trick again, sending troops to outflank the two wings of the direct army, outflanking the sea side of the southern line of Shanhaiguan with Jiang Dengxuan's department, and outflanking the first line of Sandaoguan in the north of Shanhaiguan with Guo Songling's department. As a result, more than 4,000 people were killed and wounded in Jiang Deng's selection department, and Guo Songling commanded three brigades plus Zhang Zuoxiang's reinforcements to fight the 26th Division directly under Wu Peifu's personal command at Sandaoguan, and finally fell into Wu Peifu's trick to lure the enemy and suffered a heavy defeat. As a result, the Great War of Naobong has reached a stalemate, and the only way to break this situation is to rely on silver bullets and meat bullets.
