In fact, a large part of the Anhui Feng War was fought in the northern part of Zhili, but Cao Kun, as the big leader of Zhili, had to shrink his forces at this time and cede the northern part of Zhili to the Anhui and Feng factions that had already fought hard. Although Fengjun called itself the Northeast Army at this time, in the eyes of the outside world, Fengtian is the core of the Northeast, and it is still customary to call the Northeast Army Fengjun.

Feng's slogan declared 150,000 to the outside world, and the army commanded by Duan Qirui was as high as 100,000, and the Japanese knew about Duan Qirui's strong support for Cao Kun. Although the Feng army has the advantage, but from the telegram sent by his number one general claiming that the battle line between the two sides is so long, and the advantage of troops may not be able to be exerted for a while, there is no need to guess what Wu Peifu means, he has clearly explained in the telegram that Qin Yu has great ambitions, ambitions in Beijing, and the northeast is strong, if Qin Yu is allowed to enter Beijing again, the danger is far greater than Duan Qirui, Qin Yu's annexation of the local ** is strong, from Jilin, Harbin, Rehe, Chahar and other places can be seen a class, once the threat of the Anhui system is solved, Zhili, who was under the couch, became the first object that Qin Yu wanted to annex.

Wu Peifu bitterly expressed his bitterness in the telegram, just to persuade Cao Kun to send troops to help Duan and resist the Northeast Army together, and directly serve the three lines of Anhui and Fengzhi, and the direct line is the weakest. Cao Kun will be able to get the most valuable opportunity to grow, so as to form a three-legged domestic situation.

"Big brother, are you still worried about the war in the north?" Cao Ying saw that the lights in the place where Cao Kun was discussing were still on, so he rushed over, and now in extraordinary times, Cao Kun has no time to pamper the white peony that he likes very much.

"Ziyu took a telegram and came over, although these two strong people will fight, there will be an injury, but if they stand on the wrong team. Who knows what the consequences will be. Cao Kun handed the telegram to his brother who had arrived and sighed.

"Wu Ziyu's eyes on fighting have always been very accurate, and with his analysis of the battle situation, it is true, but Qin Yu is not Duan Xu and the like, and he may be able to tolerate the eldest brother." Cao Ying said. "Big brother is not to see the Feng army equipment, in my opinion, although Duan Hefei's army is good, but compared to the Feng army is only afraid of a few points inferior, today just started fighting, there is unfavorable news on the front line of the Anhui army, even if we add our Zhili army, the strength is only comparable to the Feng army, and it is difficult to ensure a stable victory. The gamble is a little too big. Besides, with Qin Yu's skill, Wu Ziyu may not return to Zhili from Hunan so easily. ”

"What do you say?" Cao Kun was taken aback and asked.

"Zhao Zhouren used the bandits in Henan as an excuse to mobilize the Hongwei Army to deploy defenses in Luoyang and Zhengzhou to control Jinghan Road. The results speak for themselves. Cao Ying showed Cao Kun a copy of the news he had obtained from Henan.

"Blocking Ziyu in Luoyang made me lose an arm, Qin Yu is calculating." Cao Kun put down the telegram in his hand and sighed. Not to mention whether he has the determination to join Anhui to resist Feng, even if he has. If the Third Division and two mixed brigades led by Wu Peifu were blocked south of Luoyang, the more than 20,000 troops under Zhili alone would not be enough.

………

"This Zhao Zhou person is really hateful!" Through the binoculars, seeing the soldiers standing in Luoyang City, Wu Peifu's steel teeth were secretly closed and creaked. Along the way, the flags died down. left a bluff in the Hengyang area, and brought in the main force of the Hunan Third Division and two mixed brigades to rush north, in order to persuade Cao Kun to join forces in person. Unexpectedly, I hurried and hurried, but I still let the Hongwei army block the south of Luoyang. Although he looked down on the Hongwei Army from the bottom of his heart, the Hongwei Army was based on the city. The direct army came from afar, did not have much rest, returned from Hunan, and the ammunition they carried was not much, which was not enough to knock on the turtle shell of the Hongwei army in front of them, if it was a detour, how could the Yellow River be so easy to bypass, and not to mention that without the help of the railway, even if they rushed back to Zhili, they were afraid that the daylily would be cold.

Even if Wu Peifu is quite capable of using soldiers, he is a little helpless in the face of the situation at this time.

"Brother Ziyu, I think it's better to fight all the way, with Hongwei Jun's ability, he can't stop us for a few days." Wang Chengbin's tone was full of disdain for the Hongwei Army, not that he looked down on the Hongwei Army, but that this newly formed army was much worse than the new soldiers who participated in the war, with similar equipment and insufficient training. Zhao Kui's brother Zhao Jie is a person who is greedy for pleasure, and handing over the Hongwei Army to that kind of role is undoubtedly ruining this newly formed army. In the Civil War, Duan Qirui and the troops of Anfu were unable to advance in Hunan with their losses, but only the Zhili Army commanded by Wu Peifu advanced vigorously and won the brave and warlike Hunan army. And Lu Rongting's army in the south has also been taught, but that's it. When it comes to equipment, it is naturally inferior to the orthodox Beiyang Army. The southern army expanded too quickly, filled with a large number of soldiers, and its combat power also decreased a lot, whether it was Wu Peifu or Wang Chengbin and others, there were few armies that could be seen in the Republic of China, that is, the Feng army, which was known as the strongest army in the Republic of China, and I am afraid that it would only be known if I tried. Including Wang Chengbin, many people are in the main battle.

"It's easy to say, but Zhao Kui has been supervising Yu for many years, and he also has some background. Let's go all the way north, in addition to replenishing some ordnance in Hanyang, the ammunition in the army is not sufficient, and I am afraid that we will not be able to take Luoyang in a hurry. Wu Peifu shook his head, and then said, "In this way, send a telegram to the marshal, just say that our army was blocked in Luoyang, and send someone to talk to Zhao Wei, even if the negotiation fails, the other party must be paralyzed, and it is not too late to do it again." ”

After speaking, a cold light flashed in Wu Peifu's eyes, since Zhao Kui was going to be a lackey of the Feng Department, he didn't mind taking Hongwei Army first.

"Master! Wu Ziyu asks to see! "Wu Peifu is a vigorous and resolute person, otherwise it would be impossible to stand out among the warlords of the Republic of China, known for being good at commanding troops and being able to fight, the second Zhifeng War in history, if it were not for Wu Peifu and Cao Kun had an unpleasant quarrel, and Feng Yuxiang, a defective general, was shot in the back, and the real knife and real gun were fought, and the Feng army might not be able to enter the customs lightly.

"Oh? That Wu Ziyu, who is famous in Hunan? Zhao Jie was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and after speaking, Zhao Jie patted the buttocks of a beautiful woman next to him, "Okay, Wu Ziyu is quite prestigious." I also see if this guy really has three heads and six arms, you can avoid it first, and then come over when I'm done here. ”

"This surnamed Wu is really annoying." The glamorous woman snorted unhappily.

"Haha, soon the surname Wu won't be able to hate it." Zhao Jie laughed, buttoned up the few buttons that he had unbuttoned, and put his hat on a little straighter. is forbidden to sit, but there are also some people who look like dogs.

"I have heard for a long time that my first brother is suave and suave, a talent, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." Wu Peifu walked from outside the door, with a warm smile on his face, very enthusiastic, and it seemed that the two of them had been friends for many years.

Zhao Jie thought to himself, Wu Ziyu, who is rumored to be arrogant and domineering, and even the prime minister scolds him, is also a sincere person. As soon as they met, their honest and non-lying nature was exposed.

"Brother Ziyu has won the award, although I am a little more handsome, but compared to Brother Ziyu, the Southern Army does not dare to move a little, and I am majestic in the Beiyang, how can such a merit be comparable below." Zhao Jie said politely. The so-called sedan chair is carried by everyone, this Wu Peifu spoke so well, Zhao Jie forgot the original intention of the confrontation between the two for a while.

"Brother Zhichu came to visit this time. I prepared some special products brought from Hunan, and invited my first brother to accept it. Wu Peifu motioned for the guards to step forward. Send a gift slip to Zhao Jie.

Zhao Jie is a greedy person, where will this good thing sent to the door be pushed out, he is polite, but his subordinates are not slow to take the gift list in their hands, just glance at it, and show a trace of surprise. The joy flashed away, and he pretended to be forbidden, "Such a heavy gift, I really deserve it." ”

"When you meet the mountain, you worship the mountain, and you meet the temple and worship the temple. This is also how it should be, and besides, if you don't have anything to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time to meet the first brother, Ziyu really has something to ask for. Wu Peifu arched his hand and said.

"Brother Ziyu is powerful and powerful in the two lakes, if you can't do anything, I can't do it even more." Zhao Jie said while receiving the gift list.

The day of your ancestors, Wu Peifu scolded in his heart, he turned his face and didn't recognize people before he put down the gift list, this guy is also a superb, and said calmly, "It's just a false name, it's not worth mentioning, I don't know about the first brother, this time I was ordered to retreat north in a hurry, and the baggage fell behind, these tens of thousands of troops are not enough food, and please go to the first brother to support some, I will pay according to the price." ”

"Well said, well said." Zhao Jie's eyes were about to squint together, this is a gift, and he can make a deal, it is really cost-effective.

"Master, it stands to reason that this Wu Ziyu was blocked by us out of the city, and he should be on fire, why not only did he not say anything, but he came to stammer, how can he look at this thing a little evil? Will this Wu Ziyu be cheating? ”

"What deceit? This gift is accepted, as long as his army is not allowed to enter the city, why not do the business of sending money to the door? Zhao Jie snorted, there is a saying that God does not take it, but suffers from it.

That night, Zhao Jie agreed to Wu Peifu to deliver the first batch of grain. When the grain was transported out of the city, several battalions of soldiers outside the city marched lightly, and took advantage of the night to kill from both sides and seize the city gate. How was the Hongwei army that was caught off guard how it was an elite opponent in a hundred battles, the soldiers guarding the city gate were killed and wounded under the blow of several heavy machine guns placed at the gate, and they had no experience in fighting heavy machine guns at all, even if the time advanced for more than 20 years, the anti-Japanese army also died one after another under the Japanese guns, and they had been staying in Henan, facing the Bai Lang army, as well as some swordsmen in western Henan, and fighting some rabble, where had I seen such a battle, after hundreds of dead and wounded, no matter how the officers in the rear drove them, they just refused to move forward.

After seizing the city gate, the 3rd Division Brigade entered Luoyang City one after another. The Hongwei army in the city collapsed like an avalanche, and the speed of the rout was jaw-dropping.

When he received that Wu Peifu had led his troops to attack Luoyang, Zhao Jie was still lying on the body of the beautiful girl and working hard to fight, and was interrupted by the adjutant with an angry face, and he didn't believe it when he heard the news of Wu Peifu's siege, but the guns in the city could not be faked. The frightened Zhao Jie scolded Wu Peifu for not being trustworthy, and on the other hand, he rolled up a little soft, and even the Hongwei Army that had been formed at a large cost in the city didn't have time to take care of it, so he directly took a few henchmen and threw his subordinates to flee at night.

A battle to capture the city turned into a prisoner war, it was night that the streets and alleys of Luoyang were full of routs, the people and merchants closed their respective doors, and the people of Luoyang were panicked for a while, until the next day, there were still few passers-by on the street.

"This Zhao Jie is too useless, and he is also the founder of the Hongwei Army, I'm sorry. is so unbeaten, it's really a waste of these middle atomic brothers. The prisoners below have been caught softly. Zhang Fulai didn't sleep all night, and his face was still excited.

"As soon as the Hongwei army collapsed, there were few armies that Zhao Kui could handle, and several other town guards didn't have the courage to block our way, so the departments packed up their things, intercepted the wagons, and returned to the Zhili base camp as quickly as possible." If it is in peacetime, such a light and light army to capture the city, it will naturally have a great reputation, looking at the Republic of China, it is also a great victory, but before the anxious army of the north and south of Hunan was nearly 200,000, and the scale of the north was more than 200,000 people, Luoyang can only be regarded as a small episode, not worth mentioning.

"It's a pity that Luoyang is a good place, and it's really a waste for the Hongwei Army to occupy it." Wang Chengbin usually doesn't deal with Wu Peifu very well, and he can't help but slander at this time, the Republic of China is like Zhao Qi, Zhao Jie There are too many people like Zhao Jie, so it is only a matter of time before he guides the current situation, for the view of Lianwan to resist Feng, Wang Chengbin and Wu Peifu are the same, rather than the head of the chicken, not for the queen of the ox, if it is not for such a strong storage of the Feng army, with the third division, as well as the good fighting of several mixed brigades in Hebei, it is enough to laugh at the Guannei, and it is only a matter of time before the Anhui system is taken, "Take Luoyang overnight, and it will only take a day to rush to Zhili, If the marshal is interested, it is still too late to block the pace of Feng's army moving south. ”

While Wu Peifu led the army back to Zhili in a hurry, the battle between the Anhui participating army and the Feng army continued.

……………

When Xu Shuzheng ordered the army to break through, the 7th Division in the Northeast retreated one after another, and the machine gun team was delayed, in an orderly manner, although it retreated, it did not lose much. As the night was getting darker, it was not convenient for the Northeast Army to fight at night at this time, so in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Li Yinpei immediately ordered the 7th Division to counterattack.

When the Anhui participating troops who were striding forward thought that they were forced to retreat from the Northeast Army, the participating troops that had already retreated were pressed back frontally, and at the same time, there were two battalions on the left and right sides to copy the flanks, and large grenades were thrown like raindrops, and the 37mm anti-aircraft guns, which were much lighter than the 75MM mountain artillery, were pushed to the front line. A series of counterattacks made the 3rd Division of Chen Wenyun dizzying. When there was a slight turmoil on the front line, the soldiers couldn't hold on and retreated one after another, even if Chen Wenyun hurriedly ordered the team to step forward again, they couldn't stop the decline. The more than 3,000 soldiers and officers who were in front of the assault were all cut off by the Feng army that was attacking on both flanks, and lost contact with the main force of the rear army. Under the attack of the main force of the 7th Division, these soldiers, who were not strong in their will to fight, quickly chose to surrender. Although the equipment is much better than that of the Hongwei Army, once it encounters a decline, the speed of surrender is not slow at all. (To be continued......)
