Chapter 7 of the third volume of who dominates the ups and downs cannot be compared

The main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Provisional Government was in Huai'an, and the commander-in-chief Sun Yue led his troops to the north, and the right was only the Third Division of the Provisional Government led by Leng Shu, with more than 9,000 people.

The train slowly entered Bengbu Station, and when the whistle hissed, the carriage door opened, and the cold wind penetrated into the collar, and Leng Shu couldn't help but shiver. In order to reflect the unity of the officers and soldiers, Leng Shu sat in a stuffy tanker like an ordinary soldier.

With his feet on the ground, Leng Shu straightened the military uniform on his body first, and then the guards got out of the car one after another, Leng Shu put his hands behind his back, and looked coldly at the qiē in front of him. Bengbu is the territory of the National Defense Force, and the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Provisional Government is a signal that it is taking advantage of Bengbu.

There was not a single Wehrmacht soldier to be seen on the platform, and it seemed that there was no defense against this Northern Expeditionary Army. In this regard, Leng Shu was not easy in his heart, the strength of the national defense force was no longer beyond the reach of the army of the provisional government. Soldiers kept getting out of their cars, and officers from various units were constantly summoning troops to take down their units. For the troops he brought out, Leng Shu was not very satisfied.

The main force under the command of the Provisional Government was mainly the original Ninth Town, which was later reorganized into the First Army. It has two divisions. Unexpectedly, in a battle of the Jinghan Line, Lin Huaichuan, who belonged to the First Army, defected to Hanyang, and then left nearly 100 officers one after another. For the First Army, it hurt bones and blood. The main force is like this, and the 3rd Division, which was formed late, is okay. Its team was a mixed brigade from Guangxi to aid Hubei, and when he went to Hunan, it was just as Huang Xing left Wuhan. Leng Shu received a notice from Nanjing and led his troops to Nanjing, and on the way, more than 100 student soldiers took the initiative to leave the team and went to Hanyang. After arriving in Nanjing, a group of new recruits was replenished and expanded into the Third Infantry Division, with the whole army in the early 9,000s. As a result of the expansion of the army, the combat effectiveness naturally decreased, and there were not many veterans of the original mixed brigade, after this supplement. Eighty percent of the recruits and officers have never seen blood.

In comparison, the equipment is still relatively satisfying. After the Wuhu purchase, the 3rd Division was taken care of. The 6th Brigade was supplemented with 16 Hanyang-made machine guns, and 12 Wuqi Mountain guns from Grusen were added to form a machine gun battalion. Military uniforms and uniforms are also provided as a priority. The third division is called a division, which is actually compared to the divisions of the Beiyang and Wehrmacht. It's not a concept at all. One division of the Wehrmacht. Take the Sixth Division stationed in Bengbu, for example. It is equivalent to two mixed brigades, plus a divisional artillery regiment, a cavalry cantonment, or various technical arms, adding up to more than 16,000 people. A town of the Beiyang Army is also more than 12,000 people. It's not the same!

Leng Shu is a member of the old league, and he is also the pipe band (battalion commander level) of the former Anhui New Army. 1908 year. conspired to make a move, leaked the news in advance, and Leng Yu was escorted to Nanjing for interrogation.

About Fang Jianxiong. It's hard to tell how she feels. He is not like some hardliners in the congregation of the League, who blindly reject and dislike Fang Jianxiong. His experience in the Anhui New Army made him very aware of the combat effectiveness of the Anhui New Army. Just such a rotten army. After Fang Jianxiong's hands, he is now the number one strong soldier in the world. Just rush this, Leng Shu is very convinced. No one dared to accept the errand of the Right Route Army at the military meeting, but later Leng Shu took the initiative to ask for help. Take this job.

"Yuqiu!" With a summoning breath, Leng Shu turned his head and saw that more than a dozen steps away, Xu Shaojiao, who was wrapped in a green military coat, was walking briskly. This is an old official, although he joined the National Defense Army, but Leng Yu did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Xu Shaojiao had a high prestige in the provisional government army, and militarily led the Ninth Town to a draw with the Eighth Town in the Taihu Lake Autumn Exercise. The Eighth Town was the only strong soldier who could compete with the Beiyang Army back then. In terms of life, Xu Shaojiao is kind, tolerant and popular. The current First Army, if he shouts, I'm afraid that the officers will be able to walk most of the way. Even Leng Shu once served as a team officer in Xu Shaojiao's Ninth Town, and Gu Zhongchen who voted later.

"I've seen Commander Xu!" Leng Shu stepped forward quickly, and stood up and saluted three steps away.

After Xu Shaojiao returned the salute, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand, Leng Shu hesitated, but still shook hands.

"Yuqiu, I'm glad to hear that you're here with your troops. In Nanjing, if you want to talk about military talents, you are rare. After Xu Shaojiao shook hands, he smiled and said politely: "Commander Xu has won the award." ”

"Let's go for a walk." Xu Shaojiao turned around with a smile, and Leng Shu hesitated for a moment before following. After walking for a while, I found that Xu Shaojiao only brought two guards and followed from a distance.

"At present, Xuzhou is stationed in the fifth town of the Beiyang Army, and the Northern Expeditionary Army in Nanjing, it is still possible to fight a dozen Zhang Xun. If you want to compete with the Fifth Town, I'm afraid it's worse. Especially in your third division, there are still 80% of the recruits and there is still a surplus, how can this battle be fought? Xu Shaojiao shook his head as he spoke, Leng Shu didn't know how to answer, closed his lips tightly and didn't speak.

Xu Shaojiao didn't seem to have any intention of waiting for his answer, and continued: "It can be seen that Nanjing asked you to come to Bengbu, not to fight Xuzhou, but to make a show. But now that you have arrived in Bengbu, thinking of the old love of the year, Xu can't sit back and watch your army go north alone. In this case, I will transfer a cavalry battalion and a machine gun battalion to your command. This went to Xuzhou, the march should be slow, and when encountering the fifth town, it should shrink in time. As long as Huai'an has done a good job, your response here is indispensable. ”

Leng Shu twitched in his heart, not understanding what Xu Shaojiao meant at all. Why help yourself? This feels so weird. What is even more strange is that Xu Shaojiao seems to have a comprehensive understanding of the battle plan of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Provisional Government.

Seeing him hesitate, Xu Shaojiao couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. This matter was mentioned by him to Fang Jianxiong on his own initiative, and the commander of the third division of the People's Army of the Provisional Government is Leng Shu, who has excellent military talents, so he can consider winning over one or two. Even if you can't use it for yourself for the time being, you can still use it in the future. Fang Jianxiong called back: The matter of Bengbu will be handled by yourself, and you don't need to report it again.

"Then thank you Commander Xu." Leng Shu still agreed, after all, he was about to face the Fifth Town, the Beiyang Army. It's not Zhang Xun's local warlord, the kind of bandits under him.

Xu Shaojiao smiled with satisfaction, raised his hand and beckoned, and soon the two officers ran over, Xu Shaojiao said: "This is Master Leng, you have to obey the dispatch." ”

Leaving Bengbu, advancing along Jinpu Road to Xuzhou, getting off at Suxian, and rounding two battalions of the National Defense Army, the person responsible for the defense of Suzhou is said to be the brigade commander Huyan Aobo, this guy didn't show his face. In short, there is no need to take the train, only walking. As the division commander, Leng Shu had a horse to ride, and when he rode the horse, Leng Shu's eyes never left the machine gun battalion temporarily sponsored by the Bengbu garrison of the National Defense Army.

The same machine gun battalion, the machine gun battalion of the Wehrmacht is noticeably different. First of all, the machine guns, all Makqin with wheels and baffles, dragged by carriages. The second is the cannon, which is not the common 37 and 57 caliber mountain artillery and land artillery, but a very simple horse carrying some cannon barrels, as well as gun carriages. Leng Shu understood that this was a German-made 82-caliber mortar. It is said that in half a year, it will be able to be replaced by Wuhu. The soldiers of the machine gun battalion were rarely equipped with guns, and most of them carried a special wooden rack with two or four shells on their backs. A small number of soldiers were equipped with guns, and they were all submachine guns like a cylinder. This thing is said to be currently only equipped by the Wehrmacht.

The mobility of such a machine gun battalion has obviously been greatly improved. Leng Shu is an expert, so he naturally knows that in a war at home, once the two armies meet, and the brigade-level unit equipped with such a machine gun battalion encounters, the opponent will suffer a lot of losses. Not to mention, the Wehrmacht also had 60 caliber mortars, which went directly down to the company level units.

Aside from equipment and other things, judging from the marching process alone, the marching column of the Wehrmacht machine gun battalion was extremely rigorous. After walking all morning, I didn't see the slightest tiredness at all. Along the way, the singing continued, and the morale was high and the steps were brisk. On the other hand, the Third Division of the People's Army, after a morning, many troops were a little unable to walk. The Wehrmacht did not seem to feel it at all.

"Tata Tower!" The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the Wehrmacht cavalry, which had opened the way ahead, sent back signal troops.

"Report, signs of Qing cavalry activity have been found in Caocun Town ahead."

Leng Shu was a little surprised, he didn't expect Fifth Town to dare to go so far. You must know that there is a brigade of the Wehrmacht guarding Suzhou in the town, so you are not afraid of going off fire with the Wehrmacht?

"Order the troops to stop advancing!" Leng Shu gave the order, and the whole army rested on the spot, waiting for the intelligence feedback below.

Ordered, and once again the distinction made Leng Shu feel very uncomfortable. The third division of the People's Army completely herded the sheep, and some soldiers ran to the side of the road one after another, finding a comfortable place to lie down and bask in the sun. On the other hand, the Wehrmacht's machine gun battalion, after the order was given, sat in an orderly manner on the roadside as a team unit. Eat dry food and drink water, and check your equipment by the way.

It's just that the equipment is backward, and Leng Shu is not very uncomfortable, seeing this scene, his face is hot.

"Go, inform the officers above the battalion commander to come to me for a meeting."

Ten minutes later, a simple meeting of officers was held, and officers at all levels were a little frightened when they saw Leng Shu's black face.

"Look at the soldiers you have brought with you, one by one, like vagabonds. When the march is loose, the queue is loose, and the order is to rest, all as if they were herding sheep. Do you see what the Wehrmacht does? Anyway, I was panicked. It's the same army, people call it the army, and we call it the militia. Leng Shu opened his mouth and was scolded, and a group of officers couldn't raise their heads when they were scolded.

After scolding Leng Shu, he said with a cold face: "After I go back, I will cheer up, it doesn't matter if it's almost anything, it's my own face that I have lost too much." ”

The officers dispersed, and soon there was shouting and scolding, and the officers pounced on the scattered soldiers like hungry wolves.

At this time, another messenger came from the forward cavalry battalion, and at one time it was three horses, two of whom were carrying a prisoner of the Beiyang Army.

Leng Xiao secretly frightened, this efficiency! (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
