Chapter 110: The Second Revolution (continued)
Chapter 110
The captain of the gendarmerie was directly dismissed, left to be a company commander, and directly changed from lieutenant colonel to lieutenant, this knife was not ordinary ruthless. Even so, in private, Fang Jianxiong's treatment of the three coaching team members and Lin Huaichuan are two attitudes. The former scolded the office for more than an hour, and the three people who scolded were overjoyed. Everyone knows Instructor Fang's temper, scolding you is treating you as your own person in your heart, and it will be troublesome if you don't scold!
treated Lin Huaichuan, Fang Jianxiong decided to come to the door in person to deliver the medicine. When Mrs. Lin saw that her husband was beaten back, she was distressed and complained directly. Lin Huaichuan faced his wife's grievances and said with a smile: "This beating is worth it!" Dashuai, this is the same. ”
I was quite happy to be beaten, but Mrs. Lin didn't understand it very much, so she stuffed a soft cushion. Fang Jianxiong came to the door, Lin Huaichuan earned Chapter 110 The Second Revolution (continued) and stood up to greet him, Fang Jianxiong didn't say any kind words, nor did he appease him, but said in front of Mrs. Lin: "Old Lin, the teaching team is too young, you have to help take care of it." Third Army Commander, you come to do it, I don't worry about others. ”
"I will do my best!" Lin Huaichuan's heart was agitated, and he didn't say anything about his gratitude and loyalty, he was not a mouthful. Fang Jianxiong was also not polite, and after sitting down, he said: "Beiyang has placed the main force in Henan, the General Staff has made tactical adjustments according to the battlefield situation, the third and fourth divisions are secretly moving towards Bengbu, and the Hubei side relies on the terrain of Wushengguan, and the two divisions should have no problem defending." The key now is how to fight the Eastern Front, do you have any ideas? ”
Lin Huaichuan was very excited, this is an absolute secret, and he communicated so privately like this. That's a sign of trust. For someone like him who comes halfway, the trust of the boss is the most important. The rules of the Wehrmacht are that the General Staff of the National Defense Force draw up a plan, and the following is to implement it. However, since he asked, Lin Huaichuan replied: "Fighting the eastern front with the strength of five A divisions is naturally pushing forward steadily along the Jinpu Road. This may be slow, but it is better to be steady. You can't go wrong. With the strength of our army, there is no need to take risks. ”
This 110th chapter of the Second Revolution (continued) is the same as playing Go, the stronger the strength. The more you will not go for the adventure. He actually formulated a strategy of defending the west and attacking the east, and the purpose of this adjustment was naturally to avoid the main force of the Beiyang Army in Henan. Strategically it may seem risky, but it is not. Even if the Beiyang Army attacked Hubei, with the strength of two A divisions, plus B divisions garrisoned in various places, there would be a lot of available troops. It is estimated that the General Staff still has other considerations, and the specific details are not what he should ask. Of course, this news has to be leaked in advance, and Lin Huaichuan has no good fruit to eat.
Bengbu City changed overnight, the soldiers looked much more careful, and the business of the tavern teahouse and Qinglou was very poor. There are a lot of complaints in the market, but the news of the handsome arrival in Bengbu. It's all on the market.
Fang Jianxiong's appearance in Bengbu with such fanfare is not good news for Beiyang. The position of Bengbu is too bad, against the back of Xuzhou. Shandong's Beiyang Army was led by Feng Guozhang, and when this situation occurred, Feng Guozhang hesitated. I didn't dare to decide to go south.
However, for the so-called second revolution of the Kuomintang Party, Yuan Shikai could not stop there, otherwise how would he rule the country.
After receiving the news reported by Feng Guozhang, Yuan Shikai convened a meeting to discuss. The opinions of the staff members are very unanimous, the fight is definitely going to be fought, and the key is to appease Fang Jianxiong's variable first. As for Fang Jianxiong, he appeared in Bengbu at this time. Aides agreed that this was a bluff. If he really wanted to send troops from Bengbu, Fang Jianxiong would not be like this, he would definitely go secretly. At the same time, he successively emphasized that it may also be true that troops should be sent from Bengbu.
This Fang Jianxiong is indeed elusive. The black line on the face of Lao Yuan, who will open this, has not been able to say anything for a long time. In the end, it was decided to order Feng Guozhang to fight Xuzhou, and agreed to give the territory of Xuzhou to Zhang Xun to raise troops. At the same time, Feng Guozhang was promised, and Nanjing was laid, and the territory belonged to Feng Guozhang. At the same time, he ordered Chen Eun to lead a newly formed division to the south and serve as an assistant to Feng Guozhang. In this way, Beiyang's military strength in Jinan has been strengthened.
Half of Chen Eun's division was the old foundation of the original Twenty Towns, and Yuan Shikai divided the Twenty Towns into two and turned them into two divisions. Half of the recruits have been replenished in terms of combat effectiveness, which is obviously not as good as before. Originally, Twenty Towns was not the main force, and in order to annex this army, Lao Yuan had to do this. In short, Beiyang is like this, soldiers are generals, Lao Yuan did this before, and the people below also follow suit.
Feng Guozhang ordered the troops to move south, and Zhang Xun's forty battalions took the lead. Two days later, they arrived in Zaozhuang, and in early November, Zhang Xun's vanguard marched to Jiawang and encountered a skirmish with the defending Nationalist army, which withdrew to its outlying positions in Xuzhou with a little resistance.
Zhang Xun was worried about deception, so he ordered to stop the advance and wait for the follow-up of the main force of the Beiyang Army. That night, Feng Guozhang's staff Yun Baohui rushed to Zhang Xunjun, and after an interview, he learned that Chen Zhiji, the commander of the second division of the People's Army who was in front of him, wanted to be replaced. Chen Zhiji was a member of the League and a member of her husband's group, and donated 6,000 taels of silver to fund the revolution. Because he was Feng Guozhang's son-in-law, he was replaced as division commander before the war and wanted to drop him to Nanjing. In history, Chen Zhiji was also mutined by his subordinates and fled to Japan, and then returned to his hometown and has been living in seclusion.
This is empty, Chen Zhiji had no intention of rebelling, but he was suspicious and wanted to be dismissed, so he chose to defect.
Of course Zhang Xun was happy, Feng Guozhang helped him speak to Xuzhou, and it was not for nothing to help. Feng Guozhang was greedy for money, and when he was still in Beijing, Zhang Xun sent someone to send 20,000 taels of silver to Feng Guozhang. Otherwise, even if someone else built it, Feng Guozhang would not have opened this mouth with Lao Yuan.
I don't know if the people's army is moving too slowly, or the Beiyang army is marching too fast, in short, this is the result. That night, Chen Zhiji ordered the troops to get out of the way, and Zhang Xun's department, with the cooperation of Wuxiang's department, broke into Xuzhou. Li Liejun, who was defending Xuzhou, was caught off guard, and the troops were scattered without any organization. Li Liejun hurriedly took the guards to protect Huang Xing to the railway station and fled to Bengbu overnight.
At this time, the two so-called infantry divisions in Nanjing, which were about to go north, did not move.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the rapid knock on the door woke up the sleeping Fang Jianxiong, who had a meeting until more than one o'clock last night, so he didn't sleep for a while, Fang Jianxiong, who was woken up, was displeased, and came out to open the door to see that the three division commanders had arrived, and Zhao Yi from the Military Intelligence Department also came.
"Marshal, the former commander of the eighth division of the Xuzhou garrison is now the commander of the first division of the Yuan army, Chen Zhiji, who is against the water, Li Liejun was caught off guard, and Xuzhou fell." It was Zhao Yi who came forward to report, and there was an intelligence station of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Xuzhou, and the news was passed out as soon as possible.
When this news came, Fang Jianxiong was completely stupid, and his mind was confused, what kind of battle was this fighting? The third and fourth divisions just arrived in Hefei last night, and Xuzhou was lost here?
"Holy!" Fang Jianxiong subconsciously burst out with a rough sentence, and his confused brain woke up instantly. Immediately dressed up and said, "Let's go, go to the war room." ”
The personnel in the war room were all there, and a group of staff officers were encircling the sand table, which was the practice of the Wehrmacht, and it was repeatedly deduced before the war.
Fang Jianxiong strode in, hurriedly returned the salute to the staff officers, stood in front of the sand table and looked at it for a while: "Huyan, is there any news from Suxian?" "Stationed in Su County is a brigade of the Wehrmacht, with a battalion of artillery.
"The telegram just came, Li Liejun and Huang Xing fled to Su County, and the train has gone south." Hu Yan hurriedly replied, and then said: "Huang Xing wanted to use our army to counterattack Xuzhou, but Suxian refused on the pretext that there was no military order. ”
Fang Jianxiong was angry when he heard this, and sneered: "Huang Keqiang's problem has not changed, and anyone's troops dare to command." The entire two divisions in Xuzhou are now all gone, and all the water and Japanese weapons are cheaper in Beiyang. ”
"Marshal, you might as well take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Beiyang Army to raid Xuzhou." Li Yifeng took a step forward and had the intention of taking the initiative to ask for battle. Huyan Aobo was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Dashuai, my troops are in Suxian, and I will give the order to set off now, and I will be able to rush to the periphery of Xuzhou at dawn." ”
Fang Jianxiong glanced at the two of them and did not speak. Instead, he said to Yin Ruizhi, director of the telecommunications department: "Urgently send a telegram to Wuhan, inform the two chiefs of general staff, and ask them what they mean." ”
There was silence in the war room, the Wehrmacht could not say that it was unprepared, but the pre-war adjustments had not yet been put in place, and now this incident had happened temporarily, and it was feared that there would be variables in Xuzhou.
Half an hour later, Nanjing sent an urgent telegram: Xuzhou mutiny, Huang Keqiang and Li Xiaru went south along the road, hoping that Brother Fuguo would raise troops to fight Yuan. Text, the head is thirsty! Fang Jianxiong threw the telegram aside and continued to stare at the map in a daze.
An hour later, Wuhan called back: Huyan's troops launched a surprise attack, and in order to be stable, Lin and Li could respond left and right.
This reply is based on the current deployment of the Wehrmacht. With the current deployment, the Sixth Division is in Suxian and Bengbu, the main force of Lin Huaichuan is in Guzhen, and the people are in Xuzhou. Li Yifeng probably can't count on it, and his people are all in Bengbu.
"Call back Nanjing: Tomorrow will be called back to Yuan. Call back to Wuhan and deploy in advance, pending the ascertainment of the enemy's situation. ”
Yin Ruizhi finished recording and was about to go out, when Fang Jianxiong raised his hand and shouted: "Inform Xu Shaojiao that a brigade of the Eighth Division of Wuhu will be urgently transferred north to Bengbu." Xu Shaojiao went to Wuhu for a meeting, but was sick and hospitalized, and Fang Jianxiong left him in Wuhu to recuperate and sit in Wuhu.
After successive orders, Fang Jianxiong ripped off the Feng Ji buckle and scolded angrily: "A bunch of fools! ”
Huang Xing, who went south by train, turned pale, staring blankly at the night outside the window, and didn't know what he was thinking. Li Liejun on the other side also had a grim face, and the defeat of Xuzhou was really indescribable. This Chen Zhiji, Li Liejun still strongly supported him to continue to serve as the division commander, but because of Li Liejun's strong support, the removal and replacement have not been implemented for a long time. Because of this incident, Li Liejun felt very ashamed. rq!!!
