Chapter Eighty-Nine: You Don't Use a Knife to Kill People (Part II)

@@@@

Evening of October 26 (). Yang Qiu's train drove into Xiaogan Station, and to Zhang Jingliang and the others' surprise, in addition to him and the guard company getting off the train, the remaining two battalions continued to drive to Xingou behind because they needed to rest.

As the news of his arrival spread, many officers wanted to hear him tell him about the details of Wusheng Pass, and wanted to know how the pass was lost, but Yang Qiu and the guards were silent about it, only saying that they would first make a decision after Wuchang was revealed. The more confused the news, the easier it is to trigger speculation, and the news of the loss of Wushengguan has already seemed to have pressed a big stone on everyone's mouth, so after dinner, the barracks seemed to explode, and the soldiers gathered together and whispered: "Brothers, do you think we can block Beiyang?" ”

"What's there to stop it? It's not all one head and two tui, even if Lao Tzu dies, he can bite off a few pieces of rou."

"I think everyone should be careful, the gun doesn't have eyes, and we can't fight hard."

"Made, if you want me to say that it's all that Zhang Jingliang mistaken, if he asked us to support Wushengguan two days earlier, how could he lose it? Commander Yang led his troops to defend for six or seven days, and I heard that thousands of people died, which is also rare. ”

"Yes, if I had known this, Lao Tzu would have simply stripped off his clothes and gone to the Right Army, at least he would have been able to fight a good fight."

"*** Zhang Jingliang. And that Sun Wu was the one who recommended this bastard."

"By the way, why don't you see Wu Xietong today? Isn't he also on the Wusheng Pass? I didn't say anything about his death."

"Will it be in Hyochang? Didn't Commander Yang say that the large army stopped at Xiaochang to cooperate with He Xietong. ”

When Zhang Tingfu passed by the entrance of the barracks, he was caused to stop by this muttering. He was also very strange, Wu Shengguan was fine before, how could he say that he would lose it? What's more, he knew better than the soldiers that only two battalions of the Right Route Army arrived in Xiaochang, and the two battalions in the south were also Right Route Army. What about Wu Zhaolin? What about Ichikyo? It is impossible to die all of them, thinking of this, he faintly felt that something was wrong, could it be that Yang Qiu borrowed the hand of Beiyang to give them away.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but he was anxious about the safety of Wu Zhaolin and Yixie, so he gritted his teeth and rushed to the train station to ask clearly, and when he arrived, he suddenly found that Yang Qiu was completely different from the general of the defeated army, and he changed into a new military uniform.

While waiting quietly, he was also secretly looking at the commander who was so young that he could hardly talk about it, although the establishment of the Right Route Army was suspected of being opportunistic, but no one could deny that the next few battles were fought beautifully. Moreover, he was also one of the officers who supported the northward advance, and he was even more in favor of the forced disarming of the Liu brothers in Jingshan, not to mention that after surrendering them, he contributed to the recovery of the entire territory of Hubei, and it was already very successful to defeat all restless factors before the arrival of Beiyang. What's more, after pulling radishes all the way, he also got a force for nothing, so that after Beiyang entered the customs, he could not quickly bypass Dahong Mountain and go south along Tianmén and Hanchuan, forming a two-sided attack on Yangxia, which alone reflects that this young man's vision is deeper than that of ordinary officers.

He loves the art of war in his life, if there is no Wu Zhaolin and Yixie. said that he was definitely willing to sit down with this person and talk about the big battle in front of him, but now he didn't have any thoughts, and when he saw that Yang Qiu hadn't raised his head yet, he had to cough lightly.

The crisp coughing sound interrupted Yang Qiu's thoughts, and he was a little surprised to look up and see Zhang Tingfu.

In the parallel world, this 28-year-old young party officer is also a little legend, his father is the last tribute student in Handan County during the Guangxu period, and he has been interested in military affairs since he was a child, and often secretly buys military books to read. Xing is resolute, Xiong is ambitious, and outstanding. Later, his father had no choice but to send him to Baoding Martial Arts Academy to study. Because he was an only child, he was not allowed to join the army and apply for the military academy, and in the end, it took a lot of effort to be admitted. After graduation, he joined the company when he was assigned to the Hubei Army as a trainee non-commissioned officer, from the shed to the platoon commander and company commander, and after making a name for himself during the Yangxia War, he became a pillar of the army comparable to Wu Zhaolin, but in the end, he was assassinated at home because of the incident of the Heroes Society, which had to make people sigh.

"Qingcheng (Zhang Tingfuzi) is here, is there anything wrong with it so late?" As soon as Yang Qiu got up, Zhang Tingfu, who was upright, immediately asked, "Commander Yang, is the lower official here to ask how Wusheng Pass was lost?" And why are they missing? ”

Yang Qiu guessed that Wu Zhaolin would definitely have a guess if he didn't come back, so he turned around and picked up what he wrote just now and gave it to Zhang Tingfu: "Let's take a look at this first." ~~”

This is a detailed plan for the restructuring, operation, firepower and training of the town-level army, and similar things have been done in the eight towns before. But it's nowhere near as detailed as this one. According to the arrangement in the plan, in addition to changing the town into a division, the three-three system was also adopted, that is, each division was subdivided into three brigades, each brigade had three regiments, and so on until the platoon was divided into four squads, each squad had a total of 16 people. In addition, each division will be organized into four independent units, including an artillery regiment, an engineering battalion, a baggage regiment, and a training regiment for the first time, and the firepower and infantry will also be divided in detail, and the brigades and regiments will have their own artillery units and machine gun companies, and even the equipment of the squad will be listed in detail.

Although he has never stayed abroad, Zhang Tingfu's vision is not bad, and he may have regarded it as a treasure before, but now he doesn't have this mind, and asked anxiously: "Commander Yang, such a detailed military restructuring regulations are indeed the only time in the life of a lower official, but I still want to ask about the news of Fear. ”

At this time, Yang Qiu didn't hide it, walked to the map hanging on the wall and pointed and said: "He went to Dahong Mountain to meet Yue Peng, and the 9 battalions of the First Association and our army staying there will be reorganized into the first division of the National Defense Force according to this plan, stick to Dahong Mountain to prevent Beiyang from going around and deep into Xiangyang, Tianmén and other places, and protect Xiaogan's flank." The third brother has agreed to take up the post of deputy division commander."

"Fearsan joined the Right Army?" Zhang Tingfu moved his mouth in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it, although He Xifan told him when he first came that Yang Qiu asked the troops to listen to his command, but the change so quickly still made him uncomfortable in the bottom of his heart, he was straight, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a shout from outside, and then there was a series of crisp gunshots

The sound of crackling gunfire formed a dense sound, and Zhang Tingfu rushed to the window to see that dozens of soldiers in the uniforms of the Left Route Army rushed out of the darkness and were firing at Yang Qiu's guard company.

"Enemy attack."

"Commander of Protection"

Before he could understand what was going on, there were shouts one after another outside. Immediately after that, Hakan and several German bodyguards rushed into the room, and without saying a word, they pressed Zhang Tingfu to the ground and searched for a pistol.

Zhang Tingfu was even more puzzled, he didn't expect Yang Qiu to have a foreigner bodyguard by his side, but fortunately, he stopped the fist that smashed at him in time, and after helping him up, Yang Qiu asked knowingly: "Who attacked us?" ”

"They are all wearing the clothes of the Left Route Army, and it is too dark to distinguish their faces ()." Lei Meng shouted: "Commander, you must retreat immediately"

"Oh no, look" A guard noticed the abnormality outside, and everyone saw along his finger that flames suddenly burst out in the direction of the warehouse where military rations and ammunition were stored, and Zhang Tingfu's face changed suddenly, and he knew that if there was an accident over there, I was afraid that Xiaogan would not be able to hold it

Yang Qiu glanced at the firelight, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, but since he had done it, he had to control the situation immediately, so while walking out under the protection of Hakan and others, he shouted: "Wen Bin will take people to fight the fire, and anyone who stands in the way will be killed." Lei Meng, give you ten minutes to clear the field. Remember, leave a few alive mouths"

After receiving the order, the guard company suddenly turned into another unit, and several light machine guns were quickly set up, and these assassins sent by Zhang Jingliang were no match at all. It was soon squeezed into a dead end.

At the same time as Yang Qiu left, the sudden gunshots from the train station also made Xiaogan like a swarm of bees that had blown up their nests, and the soldiers who did not know the situation thought that Beiyang was coming, and they rushed out of the barracks with their guns, and at this moment the granaries and arsenals of more than 10,000 soldiers were also in flames, and no one knew whether to destroy the enemy first or put out the fire first due to the hurry of the situation.

"The person who came Beiyang came over and turned the muzzle of the gun, aiming at the station" In the artillery team, Zhang Zhenchen trembled all over, and immediately commanded a few mén Wusheng Qishan artillery to turn around, just as everyone was about to fire at the station, several gendarmes rushed over and shouted: "Stop." The situation is not clear, and it is not allowed to move"

"The grass and mud horses in the Beiyang are all hit, and if you don't let the cannon open, you guys must have taken refuge in the Tartar brothers, and they fought "Zhang Zhenchen was completely crazy, and knew that if he didn't fire the cannon again, once Yang Qiu slipped away, it would be all over, so he immediately pulled out his pistol and shot at the gendarme.

Many of the recruits of the artillery team are not afraid of the party in the past, many people think that the loss of Wushengguan is because Zhang Jingliang does not support, so Zhang Zhenchen and Ji have raised their guns, and in an instant the artillery team is a group, Zhang Zhenchen took the opportunity to run to a mén cannon, and suddenly fired a cannon at the railway station Due to the hurry, the shell deviated a lot, so he picked up the second shell and prepared to continue firing, but at this moment he suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head ().

"Big brother, it's time for you to go."

"Little Six Bangs"

In Hunluàn, this parallel world because of the pseudonym Hun in the People's Army, when Feng Guozhang attacked Hanyang, betrayed the enemy, resulting in the loss of Meiniang Mountain and Biandan Mountain one after another, the People's Army had to retreat to Shilipu, which had no danger to defend, and finally led to the loss of the whole game, and let Yuan Shikai get the Hanyang Gun Factory for nothing, and finally fell on the gun position with his eyes wide and tilted his head, and the picture of the second shell in his hand before dying became a watershed in this war.

The sound of the cannon made Xiaogan more and more hunluàn, and the recruits thought that the Beiyang artillery was coming, and when they saw that the warehouse began to catch fire, they were so frightened that they fled in the direction of Xingou, and there were several bloodshed incidents caused by the officers stopping them along the way. Suddenly, the fireball that lit up from not far away also frightened Hakan, and Zhang Tingfu next to him was already sweating with anxiety, and asked Yang Qiu: "Commander, what should I do now?" ”

"Don't rush yet, wait until you understand the situation before you can make a judgment." As soon as Yang Qiu finished speaking, Lei Meng dragged a few trembling guys over, and without bothering at all, Zhang Tingfu had already recognized the two inside, and his face suddenly reprimanded: "I recognize these two people, they are Zhang Jingliang's personal guards."

Yang Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with Zhang Tingfu's evidence, things would be easier to handle later, so he immediately ordered Zhang Jingliang to be arrested. More than 100 soldiers of the guard company immediately dispersed in squads. While shouting, "Don't panic, Beiyang didn't come." and other slogans to stabilize people's hearts, while quickly rushing towards the camp.

The slogan finally stabilized the situation a little, and many of the original veterans of the Eight Towns first stopped busy, and when Yang Qiu took Zhang Tingfu to the warehouse, Qiu Wenbin had also caught Luo Jiayan and others who set the fire, and was leading the soldiers to put out the fire, but the fire was too big, and in the end, only some of the munitions were rescued, and the rest were almost all burned.

When it was almost dawn, Lei Meng led and caught Zhang Jingliang and others who were preparing to flee with makeup, Zhang Jingliang, who knew that he was going to die, still had backbone, and when he saw Yang Qiu, he immediately scolded, so angry that several officers who came later hated to shoot him immediately ().

Yang Qiu didn't sweep these "dead people" out of the corner of his eyes, and it was the most important thing to take out the two hidden dangers in the army in one fell swoop, not to mention that he couldn't wait to scold a few more times in his heart to clear up the relationship, so he immediately stopped them: "Everyone, the most important thing now is to immediately stabilize the army's heart, food and ordnance, I will immediately send it to the Governor of Li, everyone must unite in the next few days, and don't let Beiyang take advantage of the weakness."

Seeing that Yang Qiu began to deploy the task of pacification, and then asked people to take Zhang Jingliang and others back to Wuchang immediately to report to Li Du, the swift and decisive order gradually calmed down the panic, and the officers regarded him as the backbone, and Zhang Tingfu next to him also had some scalp numbness. Was his luck too good? Wu Zhaolin and Yixie had just been co-opted, and now Zhang Jingliang had defected, causing him to become the top officer on the Xiaogan front

"Isn't it?"

Zhang Tingfu looked at Zhang Jingliang, who was dragged away by the soldiers, and kept scolding Yang Qiu along the way, and finally shook his head. He's upright but not stupid, and it's obvious that it has nothing to do with him from now on, but how to explain a coincidence? And Zhang Jingliang was assigned by Sun Wu, everyone knows this, now Zhang Jingliang has rebelled and burned the grain, causing the bombing of the camp, Sun Wu sighed with a long sigh, maybe being a pure soldier is the best choice.

The sky outside the window has gradually whitened, and the emergency meeting in the small conference room of the Advisory Bureau has also reached the last moment, and after staying up all night, the party and the military and political officials are a little sleepy, only Sun Wu is still in a state of flux, and said: "It's almost dawn, I think everyone should have a result, right?" The loss of Wusheng Pass has seriously dampened the morale of the army, but fortunately, I have already asked Zhang Jingliang to deploy a defensive line in Xiaogan, and I think that the lost officers must now be investigated and dealt with, so as to put an end to the defeat and escape."

Cai Jimin stood up again and disagreed: "Beiyang is known to the whole world for good warfare, if Yang Qiu is investigated and dealt with after only one defeat, who will dare to lead the army in the future?" What's more, he has merit in the first place, and he has bought us so many days, this matter must not be."

"Merit can cover up the sin of losing and fleeing? It is inherently wrong to offset merits and demerits, and extraordinary means should be used at this extraordinary moment, and I agree with Sun Wu's suggestion that he be dismissed from his post and investigated. Zhang Zhenwu stared at him and got up to say ().

"No, not to mention that Yang Qiu is still in Xiaogan at the moment to continue to supervise the war, even if he comes back, we will only chill the generals by doing so."

"That's not necessarily, the Great War has existed since ancient times, and only a strict investigation of Yang Qiu can show our army's determination to fight to the death."

"Nope."

Seeing that after staying up all night, there were still many differences, Sun Wu coldly swept Cai Jimin and several other officers who did not support the investigation of Yang Qiu, and simply gave the problem to Li Yuanhong: "Governor, you can decide this matter." We must give priority to the morale of the military."

This last sentence made Ju Zheng very dissatisfied, and he was also very angry about Sun Wu's recent performance of constantly excluding dissidents, and immediately said: "Li Du, this matter is very important, it is better to be cautious." ”

The last time the salary of Hanyang caused the people to transfer the army first, which had already made Li Yuanhong vigilant, knowing that Yang Qiu had been guarding against him for a long time, so he regretted his decision these days, but since he had already done it, he had to die or take this opportunity to get rid of Yang Qiu, I was afraid that he, the governor, would really give up his position, so he glanced at Juzheng, looked at Sun Wu again, and straightened his waist with tiredness.

This action made the eyes focus on him all of a sudden, Cai Jimin and the others were even more secretly anxious, with his current status and Sun Wu, who had the sole power, it was useless to really move Yang Qiu even if they said they were dead, so they got up and prepared to persuade him before they could speak, but at this moment, there was a sudden shout outside.

"Wushengguan has not defeated Li Du, Wushengguan has not been defeated" Wang Anlan rushed into the conference room waving a newspaper and shouted: "Dudu, this is a newspaper that has just come out, last night a reporter from Wushengguan took the lead to come back, saying that Yang Qiu took the initiative to retreat and killed more than 3,000 Beiyang soldiers with bombs in one fell swoop (propaganda figures)"

"Really?"

Seeing that it was at the most critical moment, but I didn't expect the news to come, the conference room suddenly exploded, Ju Zheng and Cai Jimin were so anxious that they squeezed through the newspaper, and saw the huge front-page headline at a glance.

"Beiyang Onslaught, Three Thousand Tragic Deaths"

Perhaps influenced by Yang Qiu's love to use the vernacular, Dai Tianqiu's report completely described in the vernacular the tragedy of Yang Qiu's troops defending Wusheng Pass in the past few days, vividly depicting those heroes who sacrificed for **, especially the last initiative to retreat, bury the bombing, kill 3,000 Beiyang Jingrui in one fell swoop, and also blow up the road into Hubei is described as the most successful return to the horse gun tactic ().

There were cheers in the room, not to mention how many Beiyang Jing Rui were killed, just by blowing up the road, you can drag on for Xiaogan for at least four or five days With these four or five days, you can completely improve Xiaogan's defense line on your side

In the boiling sound of the room, Li Yuanhong sat down slowly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad on his face, there is no doubt that as soon as this report came out, if Yang Qiu was severely punished, it would not be an ordinary incident of punishing officers, but such an unexpected battle report that suppressed and killed ** heroes, it was already a big accident, and it was not sent back to Wuchang but let the reporter write it, which in itself explained a lot of problems.

Charge him with delaying the war report? It would be impossible to say that the defeat was reported, but now that it is clearly a victory, what is the difference between a slight delay and tickling? What's more, people can prevaricate themselves under the pretext of poor communication and difficult roads, thinking of this, his heart was like numbness, and he immediately turned to Sun Wu, who was also full of shock, the latter knew that if he couldn't stabilize it at this moment, he was afraid that he would not be able to move Yang Qiu at all, so he hurriedly slapped the table: "This Yang Qiu is simply lawless, delaying the war report has violated military law, and he actually disobeyed the order and took the initiative to abandon Wusheng Pass, such despicable behavior must be severely punished." ”

He was already a little panicked, and had to impose these charges, but before Ju Zheng and others could refute it, Tang Zihong, the secretary of the Military Affairs Department, had already walked in with a pale face: "Minister Sun's filial piety is urgent, Zhang Jingliang and Zhang Biao's son Zhang Zhenchen and others launched a mutiny last night, and after the assassination of Yang Qiu failed, they burned all the grain."

The conference room was suddenly quiet, and Sun Wu's body shook violently and sat on the chair, and when he turned his head to look at Li Yuanhong, the two eyes of shè had become cold and cold.

It's like looking at a dead person
