Chapter 122

"Don't talk about grievances, didn't Fuguo also stay in Wuhan?" Jiang Fangzhen's meaning was very clear, this battle needed someone to stay in Wuhan to attract the attention of the Beiyang Army. Tactically, this time the deception was successful. From Jiang Fangzhen's own point of view, he lost an opportunity to command the main force to fight a decisive battle.

"Runnong has worked hard!" Fang Jianxiong put away the telegram and looked up to the northeast. It seems that the rumbling of artillery is being heard somewhere. "Huang Xing called back, the Kuomintang refused to accept the reorganization of our army, I don't know how to feel about supporting the country?" Jiang Fangzhen is somewhat regretful, Fang Jianxiong doesn't want to fight a civil war, why is Jiang Fangzhen willing to fight a civil war? It is a pity that some people regard the military as their personal capital, which is already a concept that goes deep into the bone marrow.

"The strength of two divisions in Nanjing now, plus the strength of Xuzhou City in Chapter 122 Decisive Battle (3) Xuzhou City Breaking Shanghai, is not enough to shake the defense of Wuhu. However, we must not be careless, there is no shortage of people in the KMT who take risks. Maybe they can still get the support of some great power. Fang Jianxiong walked as he spoke, and naturally thought of Japan. For Japan, a divided China and a turbulent China are in line with Japan's strategy of encroaching on China. At least in Japan at present, this is the mainstream, and the Japanese Army is not arrogant enough to destroy China in three months.

"The Military Intelligence Bureau reported that Nanjing was reorganizing the army, and after Sun and Huang quarreled, Huang Xing left Nanjing for Japan. Xu Chongzhi of Fujian recently placed the main force of the First Fujian Division in Zixi, while Long Jiguang was just the opposite, not leaving Guangzhou, and not a single soldier had any intention of being transferred. ”

When Jiang Fangzhen said this, Fang Jianxiong stood up and said: "Long Jiguang is not a problem, but Xu Chongzhi, can you fight for it?" Jiang Fangzhen thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say, Xu Chongzhi is still very supportive of Sun Wen's greeting." ”

"In that case, let's get ready to fight. Let Jiujiang transfer a division to Nanchang, and let Ma Yubao recruit troops on the spot. Complement the personnel of the two B divisions. China is too big, and the number of troops is not enough, Chapter 122 The decisive battle (3) Xuzhou City is broken. ”

Jiang Fangzhen nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the construction of the army must be accelerated." For the next five years, the military will take precedence. ”

At this time, Sun Baoqi appeared at the door of the war room, Fang Jianxiong saw it a little strange, and asked what he meant after greeting him, Sun Baoqi lowered his voice and said: "Sun Daoren from Fujian sent someone, he wants to be the governor of Fujian." ”

"Huh. I think it's a strange thing to live in. Fang Jianxiong sneered a few times after hearing this. Sun Baoqi felt the same way, nodded and said: "Sun Daoren's self-feeling is really good, and Jiang Zunwei, he also sent people, hoping that Fuguo will send some people over to help him train the army." ”

Beijing. The teahouses scattered in the streets and alleys always seem to be the most well-informed places in the world.

The Qing Dynasty fell, and the hardcore crops of the children of the Eight Banners had no source. You can't see it in this teahouse. I still carry a bird cage, get up early every day to walk the birds, and when I am tired, I drink tea and chat in the teahouse.

There is no Qing Dynasty. In the dialogue in the teahouse, there are many similar words: I think that at the beginning, our ancestors were ....... The tiger is down, and the momentum of the children of the Eight Banners cannot be weakened.

In the past few days, the main topic in the teahouse has changed, and earlier the Beiyang soldiers defeated Xuzhou. When the news came, in the face of the fact that the Beiyang led by Yuan Shikai was thriving, and the flowers were like brocade cooking oil, the flag people in the teahouse could only secretly scold "Live Cao Cao" and not die well.

Yesterday, a burst of rumors came, and everything changed.

"Eh, I heard that no, Beiyang was defeated, and Jinan was lost."

"How do you know?" "The third son of the second uncle of our family ate food in the first division, and the train station I went to yesterday said that he was going south to Jinan and fighting with the green soldiers."

"You say it's all evil, Beiyang has such a big family business, how can you say that if you lose, you will lose?"

When there was a lot of discussion in the teahouse, someone suddenly shouted upstairs: Down with Yuan Shikai and oppose the Beiyang dictatorship. Everyone looked up to eat, and leaflets flew like snowflakes upstairs.

Something similar is happening in many teahouses in Beijing. Overnight, a lot of leaflets were posted on the streets, all of which publicized the news that the Beiyang Army had suffered defeat in Jinan and Xuzhou.

Yuan Shikai, who was in Zhongnanhai, finally got up from the bed. The first thing was to call Duan Qirui.

When Duan Qirui, who was dressed in military uniform, arrived, Yuan Shikai sat on the chair, looking a little haggard, and his eyes were still bright. "Zhiquan, I read the plan you handed me before, it's good. Transfer the two new editors in Beijing to Jinan, if this battle is lost, Beiyang will be over. ”

Yuan Shikai spoke very slowly, trying to make his voice stronger. Yuan Keding, who was beside him, turned sideways slightly, avoiding Duan Qirui's eyes. Seeing this, Duan Qirui understood in his heart. I think that the previous plan was denied, probably because of the prince's handiwork.

"Marshal, it is estimated that the train will not be able to transport it, besides, the green soldiers have entered Xuzhou, and Huafu is leading his troops to resist." Duan Qirui felt a little sad in his heart, and he couldn't understand it, how could the huge Beiyang be defeated if it was defeated? There are so many soldiers in Xuzhou City, why didn't they even support it for a day and a night, so they let the green skin enter Xuzhou.

"What did you say?" Yuan Shikai suddenly straightened up, and his eyes were round and he looked over. Duan Qirui took out a telegram and stepped forward and handed it over silently. Yuan Keding quickly took the telegram and handed it to Yuan Shikai.

"Beiyang, what's wrong?" Yuan Shikai stayed for a long time and sighed.

In Xuzhou, last night's fierce fighting continued, and the national defense forces that attacked from the left, center and right concentrated all their artillery fire and bombarded the city walls of Xuzhou. After two hours of fierce fighting, the city wall of Xuzhou was collapsed by heavy artillery, and the national defense army entered Xuzhou.

Yang Zui, who entered Xuzhou in the first wave, is now directing the people around him to fight a barricade. Last night there was a night of fierce fighting, and there was a night of chaotic fighting. The formation of the troops under his command has long been disrupted, except for one Zhang Jingyao with more than 30 people around Yang Zui, the other 100 or so people are not his subordinates.

Last night, the Seventh Division took the lead in breaking into Xuzhou, and it was Yang Zui's guard battalion who made the meritorious service. Knowing that the city defense had been broken through, Zhang Xiaohuai promptly put the reserves into the battlefield. The 4th and 7th divisions fought side by side, entered Xuzhou, and swept half of Xuzhou City overnight.

The Beiyang Army was unexpectedly tenacious, and after the city defense was broken through, street battles began. This is related to Feng Guozhang's stay in Xuzhou and did not leave, despite this, the Beiyang Army has been compressed in a small area north of the city.

Bang bang bang, a series of bullets hit the ground and sparked, the probe looked at the barricade in front of him, and quickly shrank back, just like that, Yang Zui's steel helmet was rubbed by the bullet, and the sharp grinding sound shocked Yang Zui wanted to vomit.

took off the crooked steel helmet and looked at it, and there was an obvious scratch. Yang Zui wiped the cold sweat on his head, looked back at Zhang Jingyao and said: "There is something wrong with this place, it seems to be a command headquarters, these Beiyang soldiers are fighting very fiercely." ”

Zhang Jingyao also poked his head, quickly retracted and said, "Maybe it's Feng Guozhang's general headquarters." ”

", Feng Guozhang may have run away early, it's been all night." Yang Zui didn't think so, looked around and found that the mortar was not following him, and said to Zhang Jingyao: "You go and find the brother troops to see if there are any mortars." The spicy one next door, when he turned around, he must break the other leg of Sun Cripple of the machine gun company. At the critical moment, I don't know where to run. ”

Zhang Jingyao said with a smile: "Battalion commander, don't be angry, it is normal for the chaos last night to run away." ”

Saying that, Zhang Jingyao slipped through the wall and ran away, and Yang Zui sat behind the broken wall and ordered the troops to stop attacking. There were four Makqin on the opposite barricade, and there were not enough people for the more than 100 men to feed the machine guns.

In less than ten minutes, Zhang Jingyao ran back and brought a lieutenant. "Battalion commander, as soon as I got out of this street, I met Company Commander Zhang of the brother unit, who brought two 120 heavy mortars."

This Company Commander Zhang is very young, that is, in his early twenties. came over and saluted: "Battalion Commander Yang, he is the commander of the regimental artillery company of the 16th Regiment of the 8th Brigade of the 4th Division. Originally, there were six 120 heavy mortars, but last night they were so chaotic that they all ran away. ”

Yang Zui replied: "Are there still cannonballs?" Company Commander Zhang said: "Yes, there are six more guns in each cannon." ”

Yang was overjoyed, led him to a hidden place, pointed to a building and barricade opposite, and said, "See, there are a total of four Makqin, blocking this street left and right." Can you defeat them? ”

Company Commander Zhang squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while and said, "It's almost, it's better to let the brothers feint, I'll look it clear." ”

Yang Zui waved his hand, Zhang Jingyao bent over, beckoned more than a dozen people to come out of the hidden place, slipped forward against the root of the wall, and the opposite barricade found the target and immediately shot a rain of bullets. Company Commander Zhang immediately beckoned people to come over, and Yang Zui ordered a few light machine guns to suppress the shooting and make the momentum louder. The four firing points on the opposite side all opened fire, and Zhang Jingyao and the others who hit them did not dare to raise their heads, and shrank behind a broken wall.

"Almost, let the brothers continue to feint." Company Commander Zhang dropped a sentence and turned back to fiddle with the mortar.

There were two knocks, and the result of the test shot was a little off, and after the correction, it was immediately fired continuously. After a while, twelve shells were thrown out, and the machine guns on the opposite side were all dumb, Yang Zui was overjoyed when he saw this, and rushed out with a submachine gun: "Follow me." ”

"Zhang Xun and Jiang Guidi have already gotten in the car and run away, Lord Taishan, you can also withdraw." Chen Zhiji pleaded bitterly, and Feng Guozhang sat still, his face like ashes. In one day and one night, Xuzhou was lost, and this result hit him too hard.

As soon as he rushed out, less than twenty meters, Yang Zui fell on his back as if his shoulder was being dragged hard.

"Battalion commander!" Zhang Jingyao screamed and rushed over, helped Yang Zui to lie in a safe corner, checked it and said: "Fortunately, it was the shoulder that hit, it was a Japanese rifle, if it was seven or nine bullets, it would be miserable." ”

After a simple bandage, Yang Zui waved his hand and said, "You lead people to rush forward, I'm fine." ”

Zhang Jingyao hesitated for a moment, and just saw a stretcher team and a female soldier carrying a medicine box running over, and immediately stepped forward and said, "This is our battalion commander, he is wounded." ”

The young female soldier ran over with a medicine box on her back, checked Yang Zui's wound, and when she beckoned the stretcher to be carried down, her hat was hung by a broken log on the side and fell, revealing her coiled bun. rq！！！
