Chapter 85: The Birth of the Ancestor of Guerrilla Warfare

"Xiangyang is victorious, and the whole territory is restored (). ~~”

The shouting of the newsboy finally swept away some of the dreary atmosphere. But Beiyang, which is still gathering outside Wusheng Pass, is still breathless, and many people are waiting at this moment, waiting for a hearty autumn rain to come to the land of Hubei.

Wu Sheng Guan Yang Qiu knows his situation best, if he can, he doesn't want to fight with Beiyang, but now there is no choice, Hanyang is his foundation, the huge factory with the transportation level of this era Huā can't move away for half a year, not to mention not borrowing the geographical advantage to consume Beiyang, waiting for the pass to break through I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to fight.

"Commander"

After returning to the command post after inspecting the three passes, a voice that seemed to have not been heard for a long time finally made Yang Qiu feel lighter, and when he turned his head, he saw that Yue Peng had already come behind him with several officers, striding with a smile and confidence.

His arrival filled Wusheng Guannei with laughter for the first time, they were all young officers, and they had been in love with each other before, so even Wu Zhaolin and the officers under his command gathered and joked with each other in this narrow bunker ().

"This is the news that Shen Shukai found out through Beijing Heshengyuan." After saying a few words, Yue Pengshen solemnly took out a telegram: "Zaifeng and the Empress Dowager Longyu have agreed to Yuan Shikai's six major requests last night, and sent a telegram this morning to recall Yinchang, appointing Yuan Shikai as the minister of the Qincha, commanding the soldiers and horses of the whole country to suppress bandits, and also specifically noting that the War Department, the Military Advisory Bureau, and the Navy Department are not allowed to point fingers. In addition, he also agreed to Yuan Shikai's "proposal to appoint Feng Guozhang as the commander of the First Army and Duan Qirui as the commander of the Second Army, and at the same time began to speed up the establishment of 25 patrol battalions in Hubei, and strive to enter Hubei from Wushengguan as soon as possible." ”

The sudden news made the laughter freeze for a moment, and after a few days of preliminary jiāo feng, everyone understood what kind of army Beiyang was, especially in the first two days of fighting each other, they showed the strength of the southern army at the heights, although it seems that there has been some passive slackness recently, but if Yuan Shikai comes out of the mountain, then I am afraid that he will have to accept the worst hard battle.

"I'm afraid that some soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, and I can always gnaw a few pieces of rou if I risk my life."

Lei Meng's words aroused the echo of the grassroots officers, and they even began to discuss taking the initiative to attack, only He Xi and the others all closed their mouths, quietly looking at Yang Qiu as if waiting for him to make a decision, Wu Zhaolin next to him suddenly found that the officers under him also looked at his silhouette, which means that this person has actually won their approval, and unconsciously regards him as the backbone.

Wu Zhaolin wanted to laugh very much, from the first day Yang Qiu arrived, and took the initiative to stop the logistics of the two armies, and personally commanded the defense battle to resolve the danger many times, in fact, he expected that this day would appear, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and now he is probably not as good as a regiment commander, so after squirming twice, he finally took a deep breath and turned his gaze.

Dai Tianqiu had already regarded Yang Qiu as an idol, his eyes were aimed at him, and the camera was aimed at him. 15 Even the pen and paper stopped waiting to record his words.

Yang Qiu didn't know that his eyes were suddenly focused on him, and he looked at the map quietly, feeling an indescribable irritability in his heart. Although Yuan Shikai has not yet gotten the throne of the prime minister of the cabinet he wants, and there will be a few days of repeated time for bi to force Zaifeng, but the comeback of the northern hero is just around the corner, once he becomes the prime minister, Beiyang's strength will increase a lot, perhaps Feng Guozhang on the other side is now already considering taking Wusheng Pass to him as a congratulatory gift ().

Although Zhang Wenjing relied on Tang Hualong to contact the water master according to the plan, whether he could succeed or not was still five or five, in fact, even if there was no water master, it was still a big deal to fight this victory according to his ideas, but the problem was that Sun Wu in the back made him feel more and more uneasy, and Zhang Wenjing and Xiao Anguo had also written several times to say that they would simply do it directly, but they were all temporarily suppressed by him. Yuan Shikai's comeback is imminent, and Huang Xing is coming soon, and solving the rear has suddenly become an urgent problem, so some people must not stay

This was the first time he had killed a political figure he knew, and once the thought arose, it could not be contained like a wild vine. After taking a deep breath and temporarily suppressing this thought, he turned his head and asked, "Fear, when will the reinforcements from Xiaogan arrive?" ”

Wu Zhaolin turned a deaf ear to Yang Qiu's order-style mouth, and replied: "Two groups of people have already been sent, but they were all brought back by Zhang Jingliang due to lack of preparation. When asked when he would be supported, He Xifan promised to come from a battalion in Xiaochang and arrive in the afternoon. ”

"Made, I knew that he was unreliable, it was that Sun Wu, and he actually sent him to command us, and the two of them were obviously in the same group" Shi Xiaolou had already learned about the resignation of the bi, and his angry words attracted the approval of many young officers. Yang Qiu didn't seem to hear the accusations and noise, looked at Yue Peng and asked, "Where are you?" ”

"Five full battalions, and four new battalions sent by Hanyang to support, but they."

He Xi understood what Yue Peng meant, and said: "Anyway, although the soldiers are available, but when it comes to gritting their teeth, I'm afraid they are not as good as new soldiers, in my opinion, it is better to transfer veterans from us to take them, after all, we have been fighting with Beiyang for so long, and everyone knows it in their hearts." ”

Yang Qiu nodded, but there was still a problem involved in the First Association, so he immediately looked at Wu Zhaolin, and the latter, who had already made a choice, immediately said: "Commander, don't worry, Fear San is a Hubei person no matter what, and I don't want to see the lives here" As soon as he finished speaking, almost all the remaining officers of the First Association said that they would accept the reorganization and would be willing to join as long as they could win this battle.

"Brothers, you can afford Yang Qiu, then I will make a bold decision ()." Yang Qiu took a deep breath, abandoned all the complications, pointed to the map and said: "A few days of Jiāo hand Beiyang has completely cleared our defense in Sanguan, and now we only have one heavy machine gun left, and several light machine guns are gone, if Beiyang launches another Xie-level attack, it will definitely be lost, so I decided to give up here for the time being and retreat to Dahong Mountain." ”

Everyone didn't expect Yang Qiu to want to retreat, and many people were still a little dissatisfied. But the next words slowly brought their eyes back together. Dai Tianqiu was even more crazy to record every action and sentence of Yang Qiu, listening to him continue: "I know that everyone is very dissatisfied, and I am also dissatisfied that your robe Ze died here, and my soldiers also died here, but if you still can't save it in the end, how can you avenge them by sacrificing your life in vain?" How else to overthrow the Manchu Tartars? How else to become a real defense force to protect the country? ”

"To live, you need to have greater courage than sacrifice" Yang Qiu pointed a little Wusheng Pass, and raised his voice: "Yue Peng already has nine battalions in Dahongshan, and Xiaogan also has more than two brothers, now that the railway has been bombed, even if the pass is broken, Beiyang will not be able to continue to go south in the short term, our task has actually been completed, all that remains is to keep hitting the enemy, not letting them sleep at night is gunshots, and marching during the day is also gunshots, even if they eat and go to the thatched house, they dare not relax"

"Yes, there is a big flood of mountains to contain, Lao Tzu drilled into the ravine, Beiyang is not familiar with where is our opponent, Lao Tzu kills one a day, and he will earn enough money in ten days" Ke Shao gritted his teeth and said, the vulgar words attracted everyone's laughter.

Yue Peng walked to the map and pointed to the cities in the Dahongshan area, such as Tianmén and Jingshan, and said, "Dahongshan is located on the left side of the Jinghan line. It is a natural sortie position. The Beiyang artillery is powerful, but everyone knows how heavy the cannon is, and it is impossible for them to drag and run all day long. Therefore, I think that we should merge together, wait for Beiyang to enter the customs, take the Dahongshan as the backing, take advantage of the opportunity of our familiarity with geography and many soldiers and locals to avoid the decisive battle, and focus on attacking and harassing the logistics of Beiyang and the small units on those flanks, and regard them as the first target, without bullets and shells from the north. Let's see how they keep fighting."

Yue Peng's words completely opened everyone's minds, and even Wu Zhaolin expressed his opinions, Yang Qiu felt that this was not the era of World War I, but it seemed to have become a later guerrilla war, did he inadvertently become the ancestor? However, this is exactly what he is happy to see, the traditional large corps combat brought by Germany and Europe is no longer suitable for the domestic situation, but he didn't have time for tactical guidance before, and now Yue Peng is better to take the lead, and this also shows that he does have real material ().

"Third Brother Wei, you are an old qualified officer, let you lead us" He Xi looked at Wu Zhaolin with a smile, and the latter had a smile on his face after untying the knot, and waved his hand and said: "I can't command such a big and scattered battle, I think if the commander can't command it himself, it's better for Zi'an to come, he is a serious German ** student, but he is much stronger than us half-tones." ”

Yang Qiu glanced around, and saw that everyone still recognized Yue Peng, and suddenly shouted: "Order" swipe, these two words that were almost engraved into the bones in the training camp immediately made the officers of the Right Route Army stand upright, and Wu Zhaolin and the others also followed closely with each other.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army of National Defense, as the supreme commander here, ordered that the original First Association on the Left Road, the Fourth Battalion and the Fifth Battalion on the Right Road, two detachments and nine battalions led by Yue Peng were merged into the First Division of the National Defense Army Yue Peng served as the division commander, and Wu Zhaolin served as the deputy division commander and chief of staff. The First Division tentatively consists of two brigades, with six regiments and 18 battalions under its command. Shi Xiaolou served as the commander of the First Brigade. After Yang Qiu finished speaking, his eyes turned to Wu Zhaolin's back, because the first standard Song Xiquan was injured and returned to Hankou, so he looked at Liang Bangfu, the second standard commander, he was a stout man in his thirties, and he was the second battalion of the 15th Association of Eight Towns and 30 Standards, and it was worth appointing from this period of time, so he said: "Liang Bangfu is the commander of the second brigade." ”

"Commander, when are we going to retreat?"

"Tomorrow morning, I still have a big gift for Feng Huafu." Yang Qiu smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Lei Meng, who immediately nodded and beckoned the guard company to run towards the rear of the pass. Wait until the regimental and battalion commanders have all been arranged, unify their thinking and the next way of fighting. Lei Meng came back with hundreds of masters carrying black iron balls one after another.

"Commander, this is."

"Fried yào, a ton of fried yào, no worse than Japan's Shimose fire yào, since it's leaving, then let's leave a deep impression on Beiyang." Yang Qiu picked up a shoddy bomb from Hanyang, which was filled with yellow sè fried yào sent by Germany, and three hundred pieces were packed with a full ton of weight, and he didn't dare to say that the entire Wusheng Pass would be blown up, at least it could completely paralyze this place, and it would not be possible to go south without four or five days to clean up Beiyang.

Four or five days should be enough to solve the problems in the rear, right?

Ji Fucheng, who was born in the engineering army, took over the task of installing bombs, fearing that the Beiyang artillery would explode, and these bombs would be buried deep in craters of different sizes, and then covered with small stones, so that once they exploded, they could travel the terrible debris flow and kill all targets within dozens of square meters ().

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was busy, Yue Peng walked to Yang Qiu's side: "Commander, what about Sun Wu?" ”

"I have already written a letter to Zhang Wenjing, and there are some things that I don't want to wait."

Yue Peng breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Yang Qiu would continue to endure it, to be honest, after this period of contact, he and Zhang Wenjing both knew that this young commander had the ability and ability, but he didn't have the most important fame and connections, and he couldn't support much of the sky just by relying on them, if he hadn't come to Wushengguan to guard and eat and live with the soldiers, if Sun Wu hadn't sent Zhang Jingliang to the front line to command the troops, the latter deliberately didn't support Wushengguan and made the soldiers resentful, and I am afraid that today's matter of integrating the association would have broken up unhappily.

The time for his rise was too short and too short, and even a party member like Sun Wu, who had no qualifications in the army, had stronger connections and reputation than him because he had the backing of his party. It seems that he was forced to resign, but this is not that he deliberately took a step back to earn fame and earn connections, as long as he can win one or two more battles, then Sun Wuzhi and his ilk should stand aside. Now that he has made up his mind, he also relaxed and complained with a smile: "Commander, you really give Zi'an face, take all the three old battalions away, and give me a bunch of new and unstable veterans, how are you giving me a division, you want me to be an instructor to train a division, right?" ”

Yang Qiu smiled slightly: "I haven't grasped the control of He Xifan's side, and I need to wait for the opportunity, so I first need to build the second division with three battalions of the first regiment and two battalions of the second regiment, so I can't help you here, so ask for more blessings." ”

"Who made my life miserable?" Yue Peng smiled and turned his head to look at the north: "Commander, did you say that the first Beiyang officer to take the lead in the charge tomorrow will be Li Chun and Wang Zhanyuan?" If they were killed on the spot, it would be a lot of fun. ”

"Dreaming" Yang Qiu looked at the sky that had already burst out of the stars, and ordered to start a gradual retreat.
