Chapter 117: The Decisive Battle (8) The Watershed of Victory and Defeat
Fang Jianxiong and Yuan Shikai have similar in nature, they both have a pistol in one hand and a seal in the other. The difference between the two is that Yuan Shikai's personal selfish desires are heavier. Don't talk about anything, there is no country and nation in your heart, why doesn't Yuan Shikai want to do a good job in China? Otherwise, he would not have become the most capable minister in the late Qing Dynasty, let alone lead the new policy of the late Qing Dynasty.
For Fang Jianxiong, time was too tight. It is necessary to seize the time to prepare for war. Therefore, everything must make way for the military, and this is the core that cannot be shaken in the slightest. The move of supporting the army and supporting the family is naturally a copycat version.
Li Ziyun was not sure what step Fang Jianxiong was going to take, so he respectfully asked again: "Dashuai, what other instructions do you have?" Fang Jianxiong was pleased with Li Ziyun's knowledge, and nodded with a smile: "There is also a Chapter 117 Decisive Battle (8) The watershed of victory and defeat cannot be sloppy, after the disabled soldiers are retired, the place must be properly resettled, and people must see that they are soldiers for the country, and there is a pension for those who died in battle, and their families have preferential treatment from the government, and if they are disabled, the government will support them for a lifetime." In this matter, I think we can consider setting up a military support office, and I will take a preventive shot here in advance, and we must not make it a face-saving project, and we must do it in a solid manner. We must not harm the interests of the military in this matter and enrich my own selfishness, otherwise, I will kill someone. β
Speaking of the back, the smile on Fang Jianxiong's face was gone, revealing a cold and murderous aura.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely take this head with me." Li Ziyun hurriedly assured, Fang Jianxiong nodded, got up and left first.
There was a miasma of smoke in the war room, and a group of staff officers were hanging with cigarettes, and their eyes were all red. Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the General Staff, also lost the appearance of the personable Confucian generals of the past, Tai'an's attack did not go well, but Jinan was frequently in a hurry, and the telegram was flying around like snowflakes.
Fang Jianxiong came in quietly, and no one inside noticed. Several young Lu University members, around the large map of the war room, were arguing fiercely. War is the best classroom, after the start of the war, as a reward, the top 20 of the best grades in the Lu University period went to the 117th chapter of the decisive battle (8) to observe and study at the General Staff Headquarters.
"To kill chickens is to use a knife, to concentrate the most elite main force. Hit Zhang Xun and Jiang Gui hard. Tear a breach from their defenses. This speech has a strong Sichuan flavor. looked at Si Swenwen, but he spoke with a ruthless force, and made a gesture of pinching his hands: "Zhang Xun's troops still have braids, this kind of Manchu relic, who will you fight if you don't beat him first?" "This young man, Fang Jianxiong doesn't know. If he knew that he was Generalissimo Liu, he would definitely be crazy with excitement.
"Ming Zhao's words are inappropriate, or we should concentrate firepower to storm the Beiyang Fifth Division. As long as the 5th Division is defeated, the rest of the troops will not be in trouble. "It was a short man who spoke, and one foot didn't seem to be very sharp. But the spirit is very good. Fang Jianxiong clearly remembered him, Bai Jiansheng, when Hankou counterattacked, he jumped into the river and injured his leg, and he fell into a hidden disease.
"I think. We have enough troops, why don't we open up the huΔ in full swing? Don't divide it into priorities, it's all the main attack. The General Staff should issue an order, and those who enter Jinan first will be the first to take credit. There will be brave men under the reward! "The thin and small Li Delin is also a character who can't be forgotten.
The scene was mainly about these three people talking, and the others interjected occasionally.
"I think that our army has an advantage in equipment, and it is still necessary to concentrate on giving full play to the advantages of equipment to reduce the casualties of the troops." The one who interjected, Fang Jianxiong really remembered it, and he was also one of the members of the Han Water Jumper, Gu Mosan.
"Fighting a war still depends on people, and it is important to be equipped or something. If you don't have the courage to fight to the death for the rejuvenation of the country and the nation, no matter how well equipped you are, you are still an ordinary old warlord. β
The young man who spoke had a Hunan accent. When Fang Jianxiong held his hands and listened to them with a smile, Jiang Fangzhen came out of the office, saw Fang Dashuai and quietly walked in, and laughed in a low voice: "The person who is talking is called Tang Shengzhi, and he ranked first in the overall score of the first semester." The little white face of the scholar, called Liu Mingzhao, ranked second overall. As he spoke, he pointed his finger again, and a young man in the corner who was silently staring at the map said, "That is the third place, called Zhang Zhizhong." β
When Fang Jianxiong was full of pride, the corners of his mouth always turned up slightly. At this time, the corners of his smiling eyes were folded, and his chin was slightly raised. The heroes of the world are here, this feeling is really cool! As for the Battle of Beiyang, Fang Jianxiong naturally has the confidence to win, and what he is worried about is nothing more than how to let these people grow up as much as possible.
The list of the top twenty, Fang Jianxiong has really seen it. There are many treasures in it, and the Wuchang Uprising has a huge attraction to a large number of elites of the later era, and Wuchang is the first righteous. It's a pity that Li Yuanhong used these students to form a death squad, which is really a tyrannical thing.
"It's all treasures!" Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but sigh proudly in the face of these young people.
"The shortage of officers in the eight B divisions is not serious now, but it has to be considered for the post-war period. According to the plan to support the country, there will be at least 20 divisions of the first type and 60 divisions of the second type. It will be more than a year before these young people will come in handy. Jiang Fangzhen was also very satisfied, these students were his protΓ©gΓ©s.
Fang Jianxiong saw that his expression was much more relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What, there is good news?" β
Jiang Fangzhen couldn't help but smile slightly: "The Germans promised to borrow the Jiaoji Railway, and the special operations brigade in the cold rain has been loaded, and it will arrive in Jinan at eight o'clock tonight at the latest." However, the Germans only secretly agreed, and openly did not say anything to the public. β
Fang Jianxiong's spirits perked up, and he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Okay, the Germans have finally relented." "Using the navy to send the special operations brigade to Qingdao, and then taking the Jiaoji Railway to Jinan, this is a preparatory plan that Xuzhou had before the war. The German side has always refused to let go on this issue, and after the special operations brigade started in Xuzhou, it urgently sailed north, with the purpose of reinforcing Jinan.
This can be said to be a watershed moment in the direction of the war!
"Fuguo, the Germans are asking for a lot of money, right?" Jiang Fangzhen didn't work hard for too long, and asked this question with a worried face. Fang Jianxiong smiled after hearing this: "It's okay, it's nothing to give Germany a little sweetness now." According to the judgment of the team, Europe will be able to fight in three years at most. β
"Hehe, a war in Europe is sooner or later, but with such an accurate judgment, I don't dare to speak lightly. Fuguo, where do you think the European war will start? Jiang Fangzhen just asked casually, and he didn't expect to answer.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jianxiong looked at the map on the wall with his hands behind his back, raised his hand and pointed to the Balkan Peninsula, and said in an unusually affirmative tone: "Here!" It will surely become the fuse of the European war. β
Yes......! Jiang Fangzhen was shocked, it cannot be said that there is no such possibility, the contradiction between Austria-Hungary and Russia, Jiang Fangzhen also understands, but has a personal judgment. There was no such affirmative tone in Fang Jianxiong's tone to make such a conclusion.
"Fuguo, sometimes, your judgment of some things is really surprising." Jiang Fangzhen was shocked and said such a thing. Fang Jianxiong was a little secretly happy, but he nodded very pretending on his face: "It's over, I just like to think about this, Ergan's situation is the most complicated, and it is also the most prone to problems." β
Fang Jianxiong soon waited for Victor's telegram, and was appointed by Fang Jianxiong to go to Jinan in person, and after urgent consultations with the German side, Fang Jianxiong finally reached an agreement to purchase 10 million yuan of arms from Germany.
The sun finally couldn't resist, and the last rays of afterglow disappeared into the sky. Liu Xuanyue, who was covered with gunsmoke, exhaled softly. A day of fierce fighting finally passed, and the main position was still in hand. In the twilight, the battlefield was in shambles, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the smell of blood wafted in all directions. This day was the longest day in Liu Zhiyue's life, and the Daqingshan position was attacked by the Beiyang Army more and more ferociously, and the position on the hill on the side had been lost. The regiment commander and battalion commander who were responsible for defending the flank positions were all killed, and only one deputy battalion commander was left, kneeling in front of Liu Anyue.
This deputy battalion commander was a native of Jiaodong, and he suffered several wounds on the position, and was finally stunned during the shelling and carried down by his subordinates. After waking up, the deputy battalion commander took the initiative to kneel in front of Liu Zhenyue, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Brigade commander, the commanders gave me the position, and I was lost, please enforce military law." "The sacrificial regiment commander is also a graduate of the first phase of the teaching team, and his name is Zhang Lin. This is the first phase of the teaching team, the first regimental officer to die on the battlefield.
Liu Zhenyue stepped forward to help him up and said: "Stand up, Fu Shuai said, the middle ** person kneels to the sky, kneels to the ground, and kneels to his parents in the middle." Kneeling down casually is not worthy of being a national defense soldier. Zhang Lin died in battle to seek benevolence, don't be too sad, take care of your injuries, and in the future, you have to follow the commander, and create a world for the Chinese people to speak with a straight waist. β
Picking up the deputy battalion commander, Liu Zhenyue subconsciously looked in the direction of Wuhan. A brigade is now only half of its strength, and if it were not for the strict military law, as well as the lead of the officers, it would have collapsed under normal circumstances.
"Brigade commander, Jinan is calling, reinforcements will arrive tonight, be sure to recapture the lost position." When Liu Zhenyue heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed the telegram and read it over and over again, and asked, "Didn't you say where the reinforcements came from?" The head of the telecommunications team shook his head, and Liu Zhenyue said in his heart, this can't be Wangmei's thirst, right? Reinforcements are all blocked in Tai'an.
Qi Zhenghong's side was completely relieved, and throughout the day, the first and fourth divisions of the Beiyang Army attacked like crazy. Again and again, I don't know if I took the wrong medicine, it's rare to see the Beiyang Army playing with his life like this.
In fact, Chen Guangyuan was really playing with his life, Yuan Shikai sent a telegram directly from Beijing to Chen Guangyuan's hands, handed over the command of the southward movement to Chen Guangyuan, and demanded that he must break through the Jinan city defense, otherwise he would not return to Beijing.
He Zonglian's qualifications of the first division are not bad, in order to make the first division also play with his life, Chen Guangyuan has to play his life first!!
