Chapter 341: Unlikely
"Bastard, what a bunch of pigs!" On the train, Qin Yu threw the telegram out angrily, furious, "An army of more than 10,000 guards Luoyang, and it doesn't even take a day to lose Luoyang, damn it, even raising 10,000 pigs can still be sold at a good price, and spending so much effort to form the Hongwei Army is used to suppress local decorations." Waste a million Lao Tzu. β
"The marshal is angry, the misfortune and blessing are in wait, this Hongwei army is so unbearable, doesn't it mean that after the marshal enters the customs, it is more convenient to control Henan?" Ding Cheng persuaded beside him.
"The eight characters have not been skimmed yet, once Wu Peifu controls Luoyang, he will drive directly to Luoyang. Zhao Zhouren's Hongwei army was scattered, I'm afraid that little courage is gone, and the spirit of the Central Plains has fallen into the hands of people like Zhao Zhouren, which is really sad. Qin Yu said disdainfully, and then asked, "What is the current situation of the cruiser Boli?" β
Originally, this time he went south, and Qin Yu wanted to stop by to see the first light cruiser that was about to be launched in Yingkou. However, when I was told that there had been some changes to production, I dispelled my old thoughts.
"It's been postponed because of a little change, and it can be launched next month." Ding Cheng said that the Hairong and Haichou light cruisers were the largest ships in the Republic of China at this time, and once the Boli light cruiser was launched, this number would be changed.
"Well, that's good." Qin Yu nodded, in the future, the southern provinces will also be reintegrated, in the case of inconvenient ground transportation, if there is a strong navy that can be directly transported to Guangdong, the situation will be very different.
Well, the guard accidentally hit a corner of the table on the train because he was in a hurry, and he grinned in pain. But there was a joy on his face.
"You kid, you're usually calm, why are you so frizzy today." Ding Cheng glared at Wang Yuhai and said.
"Hey, Marshal, Adjutant General, good news. Great news. Wang Yuhai couldn't care about the pain in his body, and handed the telegram forward, "The east and west roads were robbed at the same time, Yang Jun Changsheng captured Qu Tongfeng, the commander of the participating army, and now he has escorted the headquarters, and Liu Xun of the 15th Division threw himself into the city to the marshal, and rebelled against him, and has intercepted most of the participating armies on the eastern front. β
"Commander Li of the Western Front repelled the main force of the Anhui army head-on. More than 9,000 enemies were captured in two consecutive battles, and at the same time that Qu Tongfeng was captured, Xu Shuzheng and Duan Zhigui abandoned the army and left, and their whereabouts are currently unknown. β
Wang Yuhai's voice was full of joy, and the east and west roads achieved great victories at the same time. There is no doubt that the Northeast Army's entry into Beijing is a foregone conclusion. And Qin Yu will also be transformed from a northeast tour to a person who can manipulate the situation in the country.
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment. It's hard to believe the authentic, "Isn't the telegram mistaken?" β
Wang Yuhai scratched his head and said, "No matter how bold Commander Yang and Commander Li are, they shouldn't dare to make a joke about this." β
"An army of 100,000 was defeated in less than three days, this section of Hefei. Xiao Xu is really well trained. Qin Yu didn't think that this matter was too unbelievable, and smiled bitterly, "What kind of battle is this, no wonder now the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods dare to ride to the head of the Republic of China." β
"Call back Yang Xing and Li Yinpei, and order them to do their best to make a forced landing and incorporate the remnants of the participating army. To avoid the impact of the rout on the local area, as for Beijing, there is no need to rush into it for the time being. In addition, he sent a telegram to the Presidential Palace, stating that the situation on the battlefield in the northeast has been controlled, and that maintaining stability in Beijing should be the first priority, and that after I have absorbed most of the troops participating in the war, I will do my best to meet the president. Qin Yu calmed down and commanded. Originally, he was going to have a good fight with the participating army, but this sudden victory disrupted the previous overall rhythm, which was a happy annoyance.
"Yes, Marshal."
"This Xiao Xu, who abandoned the army and left if the war was not incidental, can be regarded as a character." Qin Yu has completely come back to his senses at this time, in order to enter the customs this time, the Northeast Army has made a lot of preparations, and the speed of entering the customs is extremely fast, which is also based on the accumulation of a large number of military materials in Fengtian, coupled with the transportation system established by Fengtian over the years, relying on the Jingfeng Road, and the highway that has led to Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan. This is something that Kannai does not have. It's just that this punch went out, as if it hit a ball of cotton, and it didn't hit the ground at all, and more than 100,000 Anhui troops fell apart, which was really unexpected.
"The Hongwei Army is like this, and the participating army is also like this, according to the humble view, north of the Yangtze River, it is estimated that only Cao Kun's family can fight, and the top priority is to incorporate the participating army, if Cao Kun succeeds, it will also be a big disaster for the Northeast." Ding Cheng smiled lightly, the participating army was defeated, the entire north has completely opened its arms to the northeast, Zhao Wei is useless, Shandong also has no decent hostile forces, as for Hebei, even if Wu Peifu goes north to join most of Cao Kun, although there is a relatively strong force, but in the face of a stronger northeast, it is difficult to support alone.
"I've seen a handsome man!" It didn't take long for Qin Yu to set foot at the headquarters of the Eastern Route Army, and Yang Xing saluted Qin Yu excitedly with a group of staff officers.
"I played pretty well, but the opponent was a little too weak." After returning to the military salute, Qin Yu punched Yang Xing and smiled, "Bring Qu Tongfeng over, I'll see this guy." Qu Tongfeng is also Duan Qirui's protΓ©gΓ©, and the weight of grace is not much worse than Xu Shuzheng, but once such a person is defeated, he handed over the command saber, and also sent a message to persuade the soldiers on the front line to surrender, Qin Yu also wants to see such a strange thing
"Ziyu, you're finally back." Cao Kun looked at his first confidant general with a tired face, in the past few days of the Anhui War, he was hesitant to choose which camp to choose, and he was tormented.
"Dashuai, if Dashuai only wants to be partial to a province and doesn't want to go further, he simply votes for the Feng department. If the marshal wants to achieve the position of prime minister or even president in the future, he must block Qin Yu's army from the pass, and with Qin Yu's strength, once he enters the pass. There is no room for us to struggle. Wu Peifu is a person who would rather bend than bend, and he didn't take Cao Kun's two younger brothers in his eyes at all, if it weren't for these two people, I'm afraid Cao Kun might not be so hesitant.
"Dashuai, I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow. Now there are 60,000 soldiers under the commander, not much weaker than the Anhui army, if you can take advantage of this battle to expand again, the future of the Republic of China, the authority of the commander should not be inferior to Duan Hefei. Wang Chengbin also bluntly admonished.
"To put it lightly, the Feng army has been famous for a long time, and it is almost guaranteed to win in every battle, how can it be so easy to send, 150,000 Feng troops went south. Even if we support Duan Hefei, the victory or defeat is also a five-five number, and from a negative point of view, fifty percent of the odds may not be there. Cao Rui said sneeringly.
"Seeking wealth and danger, if you want to seek the country's important weapons, how can there be no risks? Although the Feng system is strong, it is not without weaknesses, once the big marshal joins forces with Duan Hefei. After all, the overseers of the provinces in Guannai will choose to confront the Feng army based on the background of the two systems of Zhihui and Anhui, and the troops now stationed in Hunan can also go north immediately. In terms of strength, can the Feng army still compete with the entire Guannai warlords? Wu Peifu said with a straight face.
Cao Kun got up and walked back and forth in the room, if Wu Peifu did not return from Hunan, or if he was blocked in Luoyang, no matter how tempting Beijing's power was. He will never take this risk, and now that all the elites of Zhili have returned, with an army of fifty or sixty thousand in his hands, Cao Kun's mind has also become smart, not to mention Wu Peifu. Wang Chengbin and others are all people who know the soldiers, relatively speaking, their military vision is much stronger than Cao Rui and Cao Ying's two younger brothers. The provincial overseers of the Republic of China moved back and forth, and their strength was increased and weakened. But it can develop to the point where there is a faint tendency to compete with the Anhui system, and several times in the Republic of China, except for Fengtian, there is only Cao Kun. To be able to do this, in addition to the fact that Zhili is a rich land, it is also inseparable from Cao Kun's use of people.
"Dashuai, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic!" Wu Peifu further persuaded.
Cao Kun's breathing became heavy, and he was about to speak, when a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house, "Dashuai, the north is changing drastically!" β
Wu Peifu rushed out of the door in a few steps, which can be called a drastic change in the north, which is undoubtedly related to this Fengwan war that has attracted the attention of the whole country.
"How's the battle going?" Wu Peifu asked in a deep voice.
"The Anhui army was defeated on the east and west, and the Qu Tongfeng headquarters on the eastern front was annihilated by the Feng army in a roundabout way, and Qu Tongfeng was captured. The participating armies on the Western Front were defeated in successive battles, and the commanders Xu Shuzheng and Duan Zhigui left the army one after another, and now there is chaos, most of them are divided and surrounded by the Feng army, and the remnants are scattered and fleeing. The soldier said anxiously and quickly, and the news smashed on the heads of Wu Peifu, Wang Chengbin and others like a thunderbolt. For the situation of the Republic of China, the impact of this battle is too far-reaching, and there is no suspense when Feng is in charge of Beijing.
"What, more than 100,000 troops, how can they say defeat if they are defeated?" Wu Peifu grabbed the guard's collar in disbelief and shouted loudly, he couldn't know very well what kind of equipment the army was participating in, the brand-new Japanese-style equipment, more than 11,000 people in a division, 36 artillery pieces in the division's artillery regiment, and a machine gun battalion. THE WHOLE ARMY ALSO HAS A 105,150MM HEAVY ARTILLERY BATTALION THAT IS ALSO VERY ADVANCED FOR THE WESTERN POWERS. The Third Division under him was already the most elite unit under Cao Kun, and it was still slightly inferior to the divisions directly under the participating army. If he was replaced to command this army, it would be the Feng army, and Wu Peifu would not be afraid. With such a sophisticated equipment, how could it be defeated in only three days?
Not only did Wu Peifu not believe it, but even Cao Rui, who was the most ignorant of soldiers present, Cao Ying's brothers also had a look of disbelief, "Did the person who sent the telegram mistake?" More than 100,000 people, even if they stand there and do not move and let people arrest them, it will take several days to catch them. β
"Marshal, governor, this matter is true, how dare you talk about such a thing." The guard said with a bitter look on his face.
"The Feng army is so strong, big brother, I don't have to think about this matter anymore, now that the battle has been decided, there is no other choice but to welcome the Feng army into the customs." Cao Rui's heart was relaxed for a while, and he looked at Wu Peifu and other people who were in the main battle with dissatisfaction and said, "Fortunately, I didn't listen to Wu Ziyu, otherwise the Feng army would attack Zhili with all his strength, where should we go with such a big family?" β
"I'll go and check the situation again." Wu Peifu's face was blue and white for a while, and he still didn't believe it, such a ridiculous war was too incredible for a general like him who participated in the good war.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Baga, incompetent, even if it is 100,000 pigs, it will not be defeated so badly." With a bang, the sharp saber cut the wooden table in front of him in half, out of the strategy of containing the Northeast, Japan's support for Duan Qirui this time was much greater than in history, with a loan of more than 230 million, which not only helped Duan Qirui complete the follow-up investment in Gongxian Arsenal. Helped Duan Qirui start from scratch, formed a war army, and trained the army. But in the end, it turned out to be such an embarrassing situation. Rentianhara Shigeyuki has seen the ancient classics of Chinese history, the Three Kingdoms. Regarding Duan Qirui's military incompetence, Ren Tianyuan Shigeyuki is simple and cannot be described in words.
"Your Excellency General, Duan Qirui's Chief of Staff Xu Shuzheng asks for the protection of the Empire, how should I respond?" Momoki Ichiro next to him trembled, lest Nitahara Shigeyuki would take his anger out on him.
"Such a waste still wants the protection of the Empire, and the Empire will not spend a penny on such a useless person. The top priority is to find another spokesman for the empire in China, which will be used to contain the northeastern part of China. In addition, the Imperial Minister in China was notified to immediately implement the issue of Duan Qirui's loan with the Empire, and Beijing must be forced to recognize Duan Qirui's loan to the Empire to minimize the Empire's losses. β
In order to cope with Duan Qirui's action, the Japanese side not only increased its troops in Korea, but also increased its troops, and held a joint military exercise of the navy and army in the area of the brigade to deter the northeast and force the northeast not to dare to withdraw too many troops to participate in this war. Not to mention this back and forth, the consumption in the middle is also a large expense. At this time, Ren Tianyuan Chongxing hated Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng, and with such a tragic failure, I am afraid that his work in Huaxia will also be questioned by the base camp. The fall of the Anhui system has made almost eighty percent of Japan's previous work in China go to waste, and in addition to directly sending troops to participate in the war, Japan's support for the Anhui system can be said to have reached the maximum.
A few families are happy and a few are worried, for the Northeast at this time, capturing prisoners is a very troublesome and troublesome thing, the participating army is divided and surrounded by tens of thousands of people, and the ordnance of these people is received softly, a large number of guns and ammunition, baggage, almost all of them are pushed like a hill, even if the equipment is as good as the Northeast Army, the treatment of the participating army and the supply materials can't help but look at it differently.
The quartermaster officers in charge of counting the supplies were busy in a hurry, and the military trucks that came in and out of the barracks were full of them, and from time to time the captured ordnance was pulled away and directly guarded by the Northeast Army, so as to eliminate the possibility of these prisoners causing chaos again. This is exactly what Wu Peifu couldn't figure out, it took a day or two just to count the ordnance of the prisoners of war, supply materials, and arrange personnel to take care of them. The army was crushed in only three days. (To be continued......)
