If life could be chosen again, Wan Fulin would definitely not grab the main attack task again. Due to the poor performance of the Jin army before, the mentality of the Feng army when they arrived in Shuozhou had become very relaxed. Shanxi people? It's just a girl who can be defeated with a single charge with a bayonet. Dominated by such a mentality, they naturally turned a deaf ear to the warnings given by the Japanese advisers accompanying the army. The Japanese advisers didn't know how powerful Fu Zuoyi was, they just briefly observed the position of the Jin army and found that the construction of the Jin army's position this time was very powerful, and if the Feng army did not pay attention, it was likely to suffer a big loss. Although the more people in China died, the better, but out of professional attitude, these Japanese still responsibly issued a warning to Zhang Jinghui.

It's a pity that Zhang Jinghui was able to become the commander-in-chief of the Feng army along the way, not because of his military ability with half a bucket of water, but because of the relationship and trust with Zhang Zuolin. So the warning of the Japanese adviser was like a fart in front of him, and it had no effect.

Wan Fulin now regards himself as the number one tiger general in the Feng Army, and he doesn't pay attention to Zhang Zongchang of the Zhilu Alliance. It's not all arrogant, this crusade against Shanxi, he almost opened the way for the whole army with the strength of one division, and beat the three Jin army divisions under Shang Zhen to defeat and retreat. This time, he is naturally the main force in Shuozhou. People are also thinking about it now, waiting for the Jin army to be defeated this time, and they will also go to Beijing to find Zhang Dashuai, and they will set up a direct Jin coalition army in Shanxi to be a local emperor.

The ideal is very full, but the reality is very backbone, and when Wan Fulin gave the order to attack, he sensed that something was wrong.

The first mistake was manifested in the fighting spirit of the Jin army, Wan Fulin organized a death squad of 500 people to take the lead of the whole division according to the old method. According to past performance, once the Jin army is unable to withstand the attack of this death squad, it will very consciously collapse on all fronts. But this time it's strange, in the face of the impact of this death squad, the Jin army has no sign of breaking up. The battle was very fierce, on the one hand, the Feng army fought very resolutely, and repeated attacks were made in many areas. But on the other hand, the Jin army also played an unprecedented passion, and almost fought for their lives to drive the Feng army down in these areas. More than half of the casualties of the death squad failed to achieve a breakthrough, and Wan Fulin immediately found that the Jin army on the opposite side was not simple.

The second mistake occurred after Wan Fulin gave the order for a general attack. Although he failed to achieve a breakthrough, Wan Fulin did not care, and issued a general attack order according to custom, and tens of thousands of Feng troops pressed towards the position of the Jin army. The Jin army immediately demonstrated their powerful firepower, and the Feng army was swept to the ground by heavy machine guns and mountain artillery. The most important thing is not firepower, with such a large investment of troops, no matter how fierce the firepower of the Jin army is, it is not difficult to achieve a breakthrough. The key thing is that Wan Fulin found that the depth of the Jin army's position was very strange, and the Feng army, which broke through the Jin army's defense line, was quickly attacked from the front and back, and the entire Feng army immediately became chaotic. At this time, the shortcomings of the lack of personal quality of the officers of the Feng army were exposed, and in the face of the changes in the depth of the defense of the Jin army, these officers could not think of a way to deal with it, but blindly ordered the soldiers to charge. As a result, the entire Feng army was stupidly exposed to the open area, and suffered heavy casualties under the fire of the Jin army.

No matter how stupid Wan Fulin is, he can see that this position is very professionally constructed, and his own tactics of relying on crowds obviously do not work. He immediately gave the order to retreat, and after the first wave of attacks had been counted by the divisions, the number of killed in the Feng army reached a staggering 1,100 men, and several wounded. Such huge casualties also dealt a very heavy blow to the morale of the Feng army, and Wan Fulin realized the seriousness of the problem at this time...... Fengjun's gang of uncles is not the same as other troops, these grandsons have never taken the leader seriously, once the oppression is too much and causes mood swings, these people will really launch a mutiny for you to take a good look at.

Therefore, Wan Fulin, who was very pragmatic, did not hesitate to order the officers and soldiers of the department to withdraw, after all, it is better to take a long-term view of life. But what he didn't know was that it was precisely because of his retreat order that the Jin army under Fu Zuoyi's command was greatly encouraged. If the Jin army had been beaten before, then after successfully repelling this wave of attacks by the Feng army, the morale of the Jin army began to recover, and they began to believe that the young commander-in-chief Fu Zuoyi said that the Feng army was not invincible.

At the moment when the Feng army was defeated, they completely ignored the battlefield discipline and frantically raised their heads to the sky and howled, celebrating their long-awaited victory. And Fu Zuoyi also breathed a long sigh of relief, don't look at the fact that he has always been full of confidence in the Jin army, in fact, this is the first time he has commanded such a large-scale military operation. Before, his military exploits came more from unpopular battles such as suppressing bandits, no way, the Jin army had hardly organized foreign military expansion operations over the years, and Fu Zuoyi had no chance to show his talent with the stage even if he was very appreciated by Yan Xishan.

And the successful repulsion of the Feng army's offensive was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Fu Zuoyi himself, and next, he planned to do a big job.

Almost from this day, Yan Xishan, who was sitting in Taiyuan, suddenly found that the front line was no longer reporting bad news, and victories began to come continuously......

In the next three days, Zhang Jinghui, the commander-in-chief of the right route army of the Feng army, immediately showed something different from Sun Liechen on the left road. As Zhang Zuolin's brother, he doesn't care much about the loss of his own strength. Under his urging and the temptation of interests, several division commanders under his command finally slowly organized the headquarters to find Fu Zuoyi to play for their lives.

The Jin army was under unprecedented pressure, and the Feng army was not stupid this time, they pushed the artillery given to them by the Japanese, and then the hired Japanese artillery operated the artillery, and it was a random bombardment of the Jin army's position. Immediately followed by the officers and soldiers wearing big-eared hats rushing up with bayonets, I really don't know how the Japanese instructors in their ranks teach, why the Feng army still has such a technical and tactical level after so long.

In fact, there is some misunderstanding here, Zhang Zuolin really hopes to equip the grassroots troops with Japanese military instructors. However, his team expanded too quickly, and the number of Japanese instructors was insufficient, and it was naturally Zhang Zuolin's own lineage and Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu coalition army that could be satisfied, and the number of Japanese instructors that other units could be equipped with was pitiful.

It was at this time that many shortcomings were revealed, the first of which was the lack of officers. In fact, officers are often a technical profession, not an official hat, and their professionalism often directly determines the combat effectiveness of the entire army. The reason why the Italian army in history is so bad in combat is that there is a problem with their officer corps, and the lack of professional backbone officers is really too much. This problem also existed in the Feng army, the ranks were expanding too quickly, and there were simply not so many professionally trained officers to fill the vacancies. Many of the guys who served as officers in the Fengjun were simply uneducated and unskilled, and these people were appointed as officers for various reasons, but these reasons definitely had nothing to do with professional military quality. So at this time, don't be so surprised when you look at the chaotic appearance of the Feng army, sure enough, there is a soldier who will be a nest of bears.

Therefore, although it was tight, the Jin army still successfully repelled the offensive for three consecutive days. At the most exaggerated time, the Feng army once broke through the defense line, but they were all signed by Fu Zuoyi and led the guards to go up, and the Feng army was repulsed......

And in Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the Jin army.

"Baichuan, this is the battle report that just arrived today" Yan Xishan's number one military division, Chief of Staff Zhao Daiwen walked in with a smile on his face: "Fu Yisheng is really a rare tiger general!" For three days in a row, the Feng army failed to break through the defense line of our army. Now that the offensive of the Feng army on Xu Yongchang's side has weakened a lot, it seems that Sun Liechen is still sitting on the ground and watching with the intention of preserving his strength. ”

Yan Xishan hurriedly got up and rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Okay, good, who said that we Shanxi people can't fight, the key is to see who takes this soldier." Fu Yisheng is indeed a general, plus Chu Xiongfei on Xu Yongchang's side, but unfortunately it was too late to find out, otherwise if we found these two people earlier, we would not have developed into the current situation. ”

Hearing Yan Xishan's last sigh, Zhao Daiwen couldn't help but sigh and said, "Everything has a fixed number in the underworld, Baichuan, don't mind it anymore." By the way, what does Mr. Changqing say now? ”

Yan Xishan glanced at Zhao Daiwen: "How else can I say, I also admire this person's bearing, no matter what kind of battle our Jin army has become, he has not mentioned half a word to let the youth army enter Jin." The more he does this, the more hesitant I become! Brother Zhao, tell me, can we defend Shanxi on our own? ”

Zhao Daiwen thought for a while and was about to speak, when suddenly the staff officer came in and reported: "Report to the overseer, Chief of Staff Zhao, Mr. Yang, a guest in the VIP building, has urgent matters to see." ”

Yan Xishan hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang is here, rare guest, please hurry." ”

When Yang Yongtai walked in with a solemn face, Yan Xishan couldn't help but be startled in his heart: "Mr. Changqing, what's wrong, why do you have this expression?" ”

Yang Yongtai glanced at the notoriously slippery head in front of him, shook his head and said, "General Baichuan, I'm here to tell you a not-so-good news." Because your army had inflicted heavy losses on the Feng army in Shuozhou, Zhang Zuolin in Beijing ordered Zhang Zongchang of the Zhilu coalition army to enter Jin. General Baichuan, this time it's tricky! ”

Next was naturally the sound of the teacup breaking, Yan Xishan lost his temper in front of Yang Yongtai for the first time, and he was speechless.

The situation that was finally maintained was broken all of a sudden, how can you let him not be shocked, and I will die!
