Chapter 124 Decisive Battle (5) Off-the-Plate Moves
Chapter 124
When the Beiyang Army shelled for the first time, it was ruthless and accurate. Having never encountered such a scene before, some soldiers panicked and jumped out of the trenches to escape, almost triggering a rout. Liu Zhenyue immediately made a decision, shot and killed several soldiers who took the lead in escaping, and shouted: "Lie still on the spot." "Finally calmed the scene, just like that, the casualties were huge.
As the brigade commander of the provisional 1st Division, Liu Zhenyue personally sat in Daqingshan, precisely out of consideration that the soldiers did not have much combat experience. The Beiyang Army was not the original Northern Expeditionary Army, well-equipped, well-trained, and generally accurate marksmanship. After all, a unit like the provisional 1st Division cannot be compared with the eight Division A.
Liu Anyue, who also graduated from the first phase of the teaching team, was somewhat envious of those old classmates in Wuhan, whose troops were all recruited by Germans to help train in Chapter 124 Decisive Battle (5), unlike Jiaodong, who had to practice on their own.
The first attack failed, Wu Peifu came to the front with a blushing face, took the guard squad to carry a box of oceans, opened the box in public and overturned it, and the ocean of white flowers was scattered all over the ground.
"Everyone saw clearly, the first one to rush to the position will be rewarded with 200 oceans, and when the positions are laid, everyone will be rewarded with 20 pieces from the ocean. Those who dare to retreat without an order are to be killed on the spot. Wu Peifu took out his sword and threw it on the ground, shouting at the top of his voice.
It was the stimulation of the ocean and the strictness of military law, and the morale of the Beiyang Army was greatly boosted.
A new round of shelling began, and the soldiers lying in their positions, after the first panic, were much calmer this time. Liu Xuanyue took the guards and set up a machine gun at the position, daring to escape. Kill on the spot. This trick is a helpless solution. Cruel is cruel, if you really lose the battle and lose the position, and lose the handsome, it is better to cut it yourself first.
The group of people who were sent to Shandong at the beginning had a similar mentality to Liu Zhenyue, and they couldn't lose to those who stayed by Dashuai's side.
Zhongnanhai. After a night of heavy snowfall, the Beiyang dignitaries who gathered together to wait for Lao Yuan to come out for a meeting did not have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery after the decisive battle (5) of the snow chapter 124. The tide of battle is changing too fast. Everyone's hearts were tense, but their thoughts were different.
Yang Du, who failed to become the prime minister of the cabinet, seems to be a little bit of a joke at the moment. He looked out the window with his hands behind his back, holding a manuscript in his hand. Yang Shiqi, who was standing side by side, was a little bitter and happy, and quipped: "Huizi, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
Yang Du handed it over casually and said, "Granny Tan's writing, the writing is excellent. ”
Yang Shiqi took it and looked at it, it turned out to be an article published by the United Autonomous Region to discuss Yuan Yuan, which was written by Tan Yanmin.
"In order to protect the republic, the teacher and the thief announced the affairs of the world: the traitor Yuan Shikai has not violated the law and trampled on civil rights since he stole the political authority. It is customary to hide its eyes and catch birds, and it is a plan to destroy the republic. When the Nanjing government urged him to take office. That is, he was cunning, sensationalized mutiny, burned and plundered Tianjin, and did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives and property of businessmen and civilians in order to quickly protect the selfishness of personal rights. At the beginning of the establishment of the Beijing government. That is, he sent an envoy to attack the Tang cabinet, and ordered the military and police to threaten the Senate, and the so-called Yuan cabinet was ....... ”
Yang Shiqi swept a paragraph, threw it aside and sneered: "No matter how good Tan Yanmin's writing is, no matter how loud his voice is, there are no 100,000 strong soldiers in Fang Fuguo. Farts aren't counted as one. ”
Yang Du glanced at the door of the inner room, his eyes were complicated, and he sighed: "Xiang Cheng attaches great importance to strength, and he uses it as a basis. Fang Fuguo was a hero for a while, he was young, and he always showed his humble face, and the two of them met opponents. ”
Yang Shiqi was dumbfounded, thinking about it carefully, Fang Jianxiong was young, but his scheming was extremely deep. Everything seems to be a concession, but in fact, the benefits have not been left behind.
"This is probably taught by Sun Muhan." Yang Shiqi admitted it in his heart, but he refused to admit it on his lips. Yang Du sneered: "This is even more terrifying, when Liu Bang encounters difficulties, he will say, 'What can I do', and as a result, the Han family is surnamed Liu." ”
Yang Shiqi is bored with himself, and Yang Du is still very resentful about not being able to become the prime minister. Otherwise, he couldn't go to Qingdao to stay for a while, and Yuan Shikai invited him three times to invite him before he was willing to go out of the mountain again. As a result, I went to Hankou, but I didn't ask for any cheapness, and I came back as an idle staff. Yang Shiqi knew very well in his heart that Yang Du did not look down on Zhao Bingjun, the prime minister of the cabinet. In fact, Yang Shiqi knows very well in his heart that it doesn't matter who is the prime minister of the cabinet, the important thing is to be obedient, this is what Lao Yuan wants. Ability is not important, in terms of ability, Tang Shaoyi dumped Zhao Bingjun several streets.
Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly and walked away, Yang Du spoke too directly, and he couldn't stand it. Talented people have this problem, when he thought so, Yang Shiqi suddenly thought of another problem, Yang Du is still like this, and the hearts of the people in Beiyang seem to have a big problem.
Subconsciously glanced at it, Yang Shiqi saw Duan Qirui with a gloomy face, the Eastern Front was fighting fiercely, but Yuan Shikai, who was in slightly better health, called Duan Qirui to a meeting. Will Duan Qirui feel that Yuan Shikai doesn't trust him?
In fact, Duan Qirui thought so, the former Yuan Keding denied his battle plan, which already made him feel very uncomfortable. Two days later, when the battle was scorching, he actually asked himself to come to the meeting. If your health is a little better, you don't have to worry about handing over the military power to the people below? After Yuan Shikai became president, the relationship with Duan Qirui deteriorated, but he had no one to use, so he had to reuse Duan Qirui when he was sick.
It's a pity that Yuan Keding gave Duan Qirui eye medicine before he was sick. So Yuan Shikai was a little better and immediately called everyone to a meeting. In Lao Yuan's heart, he didn't worry about handing over the power to the people below, especially the military power.
Yuan Keding helped Yuan Shikai out, and everyone looked sideways, standing in two rows to greet each other. Yuan Shikai gently pushed away Yuan Keding's hand, and smiled at everyone: "I'm tired, you've been waiting for a long time." ”
"Don't dare!" Everyone was polite, Yuan Shikai walked up to Duan Qirui, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "Zhiquan, the war in Shandong depends on you to support it." After speaking, Yuan Shikai glanced at Yuan Keding beside him, and said lightly: "From today on, all the troops will be deployed by Zhiquan, and no one will be allowed to interfere." ”
Duan Qirui's body shook slightly, and he raised his hand to salute: "Don't worry, the handsome man will definitely go all out." ”
"Good!" Yuan Shikai raised his hand and patted Duan Qirui's shoulder, slowly walked to the first place, stood very straight, looked around with blazing eyes, and made a gesture: "Everyone sit down, please come today, everyone knows that the Republic of China in Beiyang is in the autumn of survival." The little thief Fang Jianxiong in the south has become a climate, and now the only thing is that the whole Beiyang sincerely unites to win this battle. Otherwise, I'm afraid you're going to have to go home and be a resident. ”
Yuan Shikai joked in the last sentence, but no one laughed. Beiyang has always been a symbol of strength, and the Beiyang Army, which was built with the strength of the whole country, has always been regarded as the Great Wall of Beiyang. If it is said that in the original battle of the Jinghan Line, Beiyang was careless, and the director suffered a big loss. Today's battle of the Jinpu Line has been carried out for less than half a month, and the battle situation has changed several times, from the light capture of Xuzhou to the loss of Jinan, and no one expected the sharp turn of the year. But one thing is certain, when the Beiyang Army faced the green skins of the self-proclaimed Wehrmacht, instead of having an advantage, it fell behind.
No one will deny this conclusion, but they just can't understand it. Why was the Beiyang New Army, which was built at the end of the Qing Dynasty with the strength of the whole country, suddenly beaten down from the position of the boss? What happened to Beiyang? Probably everyone has thought about this question. But what is the answer? In everyone's heart, there is an answer, right?
The core content of this meeting, which Yuan Shikai personally presided over, revolved around this war. If the hearts of the people inside are scattered, don't fight this battle. So he came up to appease Duan Qirui first and entrusted him with the power to preside over the war in an all-round way. Then Yuan Shikai assigned Wang Shizhen to be responsible for the formation and training of the new army, and Liang Shiyi was responsible for contacting the Japanese and purchasing and equipping five divisions of munitions.
All in all, Beiyang must unite to win this war that has a bearing on the future and destiny of Beiyang.
When Yuan Shikai was in a meeting, Fang Jianxiong was also in a meeting. In contrast, the atmosphere here is much more relaxed.
All the officials of the autonomous region have arrived, and it is Sun Baoqi who presides over the meeting. The main purpose of this meeting was to determine the policy guidelines for the future. "In cooperation with the KMT, we must put me first. We will never waver in the tone we have set. When Sun Baoqi was talking excitedly, the secretary next to him hurriedly came in, and after saying a word in his ear, Sun Baoqi's face changed. He took the telegram from the secretary's hand, looked at it, held it up and swayed: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received the news that Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Jiangsu, these six provinces, have jointly telegraphed and proposed to adopt the strategy of inter-provincial autonomy in the future. Taking the United States as an example, he said that local autonomy is the most suitable form of government for China. At the same time, the six provinces called for an armistice and peace talks between the north and the south. ”
After Sun Baoqi finished speaking, everyone's eyes found Fang Jianxiong, at this moment Fang Dashuai was smiling, glanced at the teacher, Sun Baoqi nodded and said, "Fuguo, you say a few words." ”
Fang Jianxiong stood up and said with a slight smile: "Regardless of them, we can't be interfered by external forces at the moment, and concentrate on winning the battle against Beiyang." Internally, we seek stability, quicken the pace of army building, make good preparations for war, and prevent possible wars of intervention. Externally, as long as they don't come to fight us, we won't take the initiative to start a war. Of course, it is only a matter of time before the whole country is unified by force. What else do you have to say? Just say it to your face. In the last sentence, Fang Jianxiong's tone changed, and he was slightly cold.
After Li Muyan raised his hand, he stood up and said with a smile: "I think that this is a trick of the Kuomintang Party, and I hope that this method will win the support of the six provinces." It's a pity that Yunnan and Guizhou will definitely not stand on their side, and they are probably on the sidelines. ”
Jiang Fangzhen raised his hand and got up and said: "I think we can fight for Cai Songpo, this person has always advocated the nationalization of the army, and a few days ago, he also quit the Progressive Party and served as the governor of the capital. ”rq!!!
