Speaking of the battle in Changsha, Zhao Hengti had palpitations and slowly organized his vocabulary.

"At that time, Guangzhou had just announced the Northern Expedition, (the coup d'état in Beijing had not yet happened,) Cheng Qian, Tang Shengzhi and others in southern Hunan had already colluded to give way and let the Northern Expeditionary Army go north, and our army was caught off guard.

The enemy sent more than 100,000 troops, a large number of planes flew over Changsha, and hundreds of ironclad chariots came down from the railway and pounced on Changsha.

Our army was caught off guard, and the main force of 50,000 people deployed outside the city was almost powerless to fight, and it was surrounded in just half a day, after which Changsha fell-"

Speaking of this, Zhao Hengti stopped talking, raised his head, and secretly paid attention to Wu Peifu's face. The thought of his dignified overseer fleeing alone was really embarrassing, and his face turned red.

In his heart, he secretly defended again: "What a crime that is not a war! Even if you deal with it yourself, you may not be able to get out of the way and pick up a life, which is considered lucky. ”

"Are airplanes and chariots really so powerful?"

Wu Peifu frowned, as if he didn't believe it, glanced at Zhao Hengti, and sneered at him, as if to say: Exaggerate the enemy and show your incompetence even more.

He has also seen aircraft and combat vehicles, and there are many aircraft and combat vehicles in the battles between the Zhi army and the Feng army, but they are not as exaggerated as Zhao Hengti said, and the tank will be reduced to pieces when it is bombarded with artillery.

In dug fortifications, the role of tanks is not invincible. And this thing is so expensive, the direct army and the Feng army are not equipped much, and when they encounter a difficult position for the infantry, the generals are reluctant to use these expensive infantry nannies.

As for airplanes, it's like wasps, if you get stung once, you won't be killed, right?

The Northern Expeditionary Army dispatched a large number of planes, which made Wu Peifu a little numb. However, this is not an insurmountable difficulty. Wu Peifu still didn't quite believe in the combat effectiveness of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Who is better than himself in war? If it weren't for Feng Yuxiang's stab in the back-

Thinking of this, Wu Peifu's face was gloomy.

is also a general of the defeated army, and he is not good at showing Zhao Hengti's face, and after two words of relief. Then he turned his gaze to Xiao Yaonan's face.

"Originally, I didn't believe it, but the same thing happened in Miluo and Yueyang. Our army fought back desperately, which could not be described as brave, but flesh and blood could not stop the ironclad cannons.

Enemy aircraft were overwhelming. We know the actions of our army well, and the artillery positions and marching troops are almost powerless to fight back under the bombardment of enemy aircraft! If it weren't for the Yangtze River - alas! ”

Xiao Yaonan sighed heavily, and could never forget the scene when the plane covered the sky during the day, and the sound of killing was everywhere at night, and the Beiyang Army was defeated and fled in a hurry.

Xiao Yaonan's sigh smashed into Wu Peifu's heart like a hammer. Not to mention that the Northern Expeditionary Army was well-equipped, I didn't expect it to have the ability to fight at night.

Night warfare is very demanding on the training of the army, because of malnutrition, many Chinese soldiers have night blindness, and the elite troops in Beiyang have no night combat ability.

Wu Peifu was even more jealous, and secretly thought: The training level of the Northern Expeditionary Army may exceed that of its own army, how is this possible?

Thinking of this, Wu Peifu's brows tightened. The look was grim.

At this moment, he couldn't be discouraged, he immediately calmed down, and shouted: "The enemy relies on sneak attacks. Let them be proud for a while, and we will not be discouraged after a hundred battles! What winds and waves haven't you seen? Are you afraid of the Southern Barbarians? ”

As soon as he drank it, Xiao Yaonan and the others were shocked, nodded yes, and regained a little confidence.

Beiyang is the strongest army in the world, the direct army is the elite of Beiyang, Wu Peifu is a first-class general, although he lost a war in the north, Xiao Yaonan and others do not think that Wu Peifu is not good at commanding. It's just that when he encounters unladylike people, he turns into elbows and armpits, and when he is pulled to the battlefield in a dignified manner, Wu Peifu is still a trustworthy general.

Everyone started with Wu Peifu, and within the direct family, Wu Peifu is deeply respected. It is still a well-known signboard, and its influence spreads all over the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Wu Peifu was in Wuhan, and the Beiyang Army found the backbone and slowly recovered from the panic. Taking over the command from Xiao Yaonan, Wu Peifu dispatched troops to organize the Wuhan defense line, and ordered the Beiyang Army troops in Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and other places to go north along the river to support Wuhan.

The order was issued, and Qi Xieyuan, the overseer of Jiangsu, Sun Chuanfang, the overseer of Zhejiang, and others also responded enthusiastically, claiming that they would fight to the death with the Northern Expeditionary Army.

In fact, the thunder is loud and the rain is small. Neither Qi Xieyuan nor Sun Chuanfang was reluctant to send troops to support Wu Peifu, the war between Jiangsu and Zhejiang had just fallen, Lu Yongxiang was defeated and retreated to Shanghai, and he was electrified. Although Zhejiang was lost, the rich Shanghai was still in control.

Qi Xieyuan was secretly sulking, he didn't get Shanghai, and Zhejiang was "stolen" by Sun Chuanfang, losing troops and losing generals, and was licking his wounds secretly, how could he be in the mood to deal with Wu Peifu?

Driving away Lu Yongxiang, Sun Chuanfang finally got his wish and became the overseer of Zhejiang, and he was busy digesting the newly beaten territory, and he would not be angry for Wu Peifu.

There are still Kuomintang troops in southern Fujian, and I heard that the Northern Expeditionary Army is also preparing to send the East Route Army to the north, pointing the spearhead at Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

Qi Xieyuan, Sun Chuanfang and others did not benefit the people, except for expressing some "warm-hearted" support and sending some supplies, they did not want to send a single soldier.

When the news reached Wuhan, Xiao Yaonan was so angry that he scolded Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang. "It's all a pack of white-eyed wolves? Without Yushuai's support, they can fight Lu Yongxiang? Now I turn my face and don't recognize people! ”

Wu Peifu naturally understood the inside story, and seemed to have expected it, he smiled and said confidently: "It's okay, it's enough." ”

Now, gathering 100,000 troops to garrison Hubei, and commanding the momentum of the eight directions really made Wu Peifu regain his self-confidence, and there were Xiao Yaonan, Liu Yuchun and other Beiyang warriors under his command, and he was star-studded for a while, and he was full of self-confidence, so that the Northern Expeditionary Army could return with a halberd, and he also spoke out to give the Southern Army a profound lesson.

The characters of the Republic of China have a hobby, that is, they like to electrify at every turn, and telegraph warfare or war of words often goes on and on. Wu Peifu's telegram in Wuhan was transmitted to Guangzhou, Situ Nan found it interesting and not surprised, he was already used to the style of this era.

I secretly said in my heart: Compared with Weibo a hundred years later, the cost of electrification in just a few hundred words will cost hundreds of silver, which is too high. However, Wu Peifu, the star, is about to get out of fashion, right?

After the coup d'état in Beijing, Wu Peifu clearly realized that Feng Zhang was ambitious and bent on fighting for the central power, and Feng Yuxiang was not a good person.

Luoyang and other places are still under the control of Wu Peifu. The weapons and ammunition being produced by the Luoyang Arsenal, which he painstakingly managed, were constantly being shipped to Hubei, and Wu Peifu planned to make a comeback and go north to clean up Feng Yuxiang after repelling the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Wu Peifu was right. But things will not go as he wants, and the Northern Expeditionary Army will not give Wu Peifu a chance.

Just when Wu Peifu was dispatching troops, Situ Yong's Second Front Army made another effort and entered Hubei along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, and the two sides fought fiercely in Xianning, an important town in southern Hubei.

As soon as Xianning was lost, Wuhan was in danger, and now the war has spread to Wu Peifu's ass. How could he sit still?

hurriedly used all his strength, dispatched troops, and defended Xianning.

The small city of Xianning, where more than 100,000 troops from both sides gathered, became a large military camp, and the gray Beiyang Army and the yellow and green camouflage Northern Expeditionary Army were clearly distinguished.

There are striking similarities in history, stationed in Xianning was the Beiyang Eighth Division commanded by the direct general Liu Yuchun, and the Beiyang Army built a large number of strong fortifications in Tingsi Bridge and Hesheng Bridge outside the city of Xianning. Several attempts by the Northern Expeditionary Army were repulsed, leaving more than a hundred corpses behind and hurriedly retreating.

"Damn, I've finally hit a hard bone!"

In the former enemy headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Situ Yong ripped open his neckline, and his eyes exuded great fighting intent.

The battle in the early stage was too smooth, and in the field, there were tanks and armored vehicles to open the way, tearing apart the enemy's defense line lightly, and the troops following behind completed the encirclement of the enemy.

With the help of the air force all the way to the head, the road to the north was almost overwhelming, and it was not the main force of the Beiyang Army that was encountered in Hunan, so there was no decent resistance, and the whole army was inevitably arrogant.

The terrain around Tingsi Bridge is steep. It was not conducive to the advance of the armored forces, and the armored brigade commanded by Guderian had only 10 tanks and 30 armored vehicles left, and most of the others broke down due to damage to parts in the off-road.

"It's also a good thing to suffer a little loss and calm down." Bai Chongxi said with a smile. There is no frustration on his face, if the Beiyang Army is easy to deal with, will the Zhi Gong Party still need to bury its head in hard training for four years?

"However, when our main force comes up, the Beiyang Army will not be able to bear it after all! They're just dying. ”

Bai Chongxi said again. In his opinion, Wu Peifu's Beiyang Army is nothing more than that, compared to the Dutch native army in the South China War of Independence?

Since he can knock the Dutch down, what is Wu Peifu?

A staff officer was then summoned and ordered the troops behind to speed up their march north.

Thinking of something, Bai Chongxi said to Situ Yong again: "It is not difficult to defeat the enemy, but I am afraid that they will shrink back, in case the enemy guards Wuhan and wants to fight in the streets, we will suffer great losses." Why don't-"

After being reminded by Bai Chongxi, Situ Yong immediately woke up to the fact that Xianning is the gateway to Wuhan, and if it is lost, Wuhan will be exposed to the artillery fire of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which Wu Peifu cannot afford and will definitely send troops south to defend Xianyang.

"Alright! Let's attack but not break, drag the enemy first, Wu Peifu will inevitably send the main force south to support, hehe, they are dead! Situ Yong nodded and said with a smile.

The Second Front Army marched all the way north to Hubei, suffering almost no losses, and the fire was much more fierce than that of the enemy, resulting in a severe consumption of ammunition.

Since the beginning of the war, the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway has been overloaded, and the materials that have been secretly hoarded before have squandered enough to satisfy the front-line army, exchanging ammunition consumption for the lives of their own soldiers.

In the civil war of the Republic of China, there have always been as many troops as there are, and guns are worth more than human lives, but this situation is not suitable for the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"It is still necessary to urge the logistics department to do everything possible to transport the materials over, the tanks and auto parts must be replenished as much as possible, and the fuel for the aircraft should not be delayed."

Bai Chongxi continued to issue orders. More than 100 tanks and combat vehicles of the armored brigade and 200 aircraft of the air force were the most powerful weapons in the hands of the Second Front Army, and they had an immediate effect on the Beiyang Army.

"Damn, I don't believe that the Beiyang Army is all King Kong, and I'm not afraid of the bomb falling on my head! Damn, when we surround them and cut off supplies, Wu Peifu is probably going to cry, right? ”

Bai Chongxi smiled sinisterly. Picking up the baton, pointing to Xianning on the combat map, drawing to the right, detouring back to the enemy's position between Tingsi Bridge and Hesheng Bridge, and making a cutting gesture.

"I think it's the logistics department that is going to jump, right? The grandsons in Guangzhou are probably going to scold their mothers. Situ Yong smiled, his face turned pale, and he began to analyze Bai Chongxi's plan.

"Is it possible? There is a dense network of water around, so I'm afraid I'm looking for a lot of roads, right? Situ Yong worried.

"It's okay, you can always find a few paths. Don't forget that we deciphered the enemy's code, every move of the Beiyang Army was watched by our planes, and when they left their positions, they sent the air force to bomb him! ”

Bai Chongxi said confidently. Hubei is the target of the Guangzhou government's attention, and the intelligence bureau has long done careful reconnaissance of strategic locations along the railway, and it is not difficult to find out the route that can be used by the armored brigade to secretly detour.

Just when Situ Yong and Bai Chongxi were in the command headquarters, whispering, a loud shout interrupted their conspiracy.

"Report! Xia Chao, commander of the Ninth Division of the Third Front Army, has seen the commander! ”

A sturdy general walked in, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face was a little haggard, but his eyes were excited, his eyes were shining, and he had a kind of desire to go to the battlefield.

"The Ninth Division is here? It's coming so fast, it's great! ”

Situ Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and warmly beckoned Xia Chao to sit down. Xia Chao is the fierce general of the Gui Army, and the Ninth Division is the elite of the Gui Army, with them joining, it will be more certain to deal with the Beiyang Army in the north.

"I led a brigade of the vanguard of the Ninth Division to arrive, and the rest of the troops will not arrive until the day after tomorrow." Xia Chao explained.

After the Battle of Changsha, the old boss Li Zongren led the Third Front Army to attack Jiangxi, while Xia Chao's Ninth Division went north to support the Second Front Army.

The Second Front Army's offensive was too fierce, the march was too fast, and it didn't give the Ninth Division behind too much meat to eat, Xia Chao held his breath in his heart, and complained that the Beiyang Army was too weak and didn't give himself a chance to show himself.

After receiving the order, for fear that there would be no fight, he rushed from Changsha to catch the train to the north non-stop, and led the leading troops to Xianning.

As soon as he got off the train, Xia Chao hurried to report for duty, although he had been on the train all day, he was still in good spirits.

"Command, please! Wherever you play, you can ensure that the task is completed. Xia Chao said earnestly.

"No hurry, no hurry." Bai Chongxi smiled, how could he not understand Xia Chao's thoughts?

He walked to the map, picked up his baton and explained: "We plan to attract the enemy's main force to the south and destroy them in one fell swoop, saving us another hard time in the city of Wuhan."

The artillery brigade of the Second Front, the artillery division of the Third Front, and the artillery regiment of the infantry division were assembled, adding more than 200 heavy artillery pieces and 1,000 mortars of 75 and 105 calibers, almost concentrating most of the heavy firepower of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

It's really a knife to kill chickens! It's ridiculous that Wu Peifu thinks that little Xianning can stop us? ”

Bai Chongxi talked eloquently, with a bit of the meaning of meeting an opponent, as if he used a huge equipment advantage to win the victory, which could not reflect Xiao Zhuge 's ability.

"If not, how can we embody our great martial arts? This is made for others to see! Situ Yong sneered. RS
