Chapter 138: Capturing Anzhou Mansion

I thought that Zhang Feilong, who would meet the opposition of his subordinates, but found that in addition to him, the commander of the whole regiment, he was also dedicated to being the commander of the defenders on the border to guard the back road. The officers and soldiers under his subordinates actually ran to Xu Jiajun's side for a long time.

If it weren't clear, the deputy battalion commander was also an old subordinate who had followed him for many years, and there was no secret agent sent by Xu Jiajun, so he was really worried that his regiment would be mixed up with Xu Jiajun's secret agent!

With the unanimous consent of these officers, Zhang Feilong also learned from the reactions of these subordinates that the soldiers in the regiment only yearn for joining the Xu family army and would not object at all. In his letter, he made an appointment with his mentor without further ado, and the idea of welcoming Xu Jiajun into the customs tonight was naturally implemented to the greatest extent.

When Zhang Feilong and his subordinates were making arrangements for connecting with Xu Jiajun at night, he quickly returned with a letter and had arrived at the temporary headquarters of the Anzhou Brigade under the command of the front valley. got the letter handed over by Zhang Feilong, and Wei Qingshan also truthfully repeated everything he said at that time to Situ Baili and Bai Diantang.

When he heard that Zhang Feilong, who was still a little immature when he entered the military academy, was still moved by his mentor and resolutely decided to follow him, Situ Baili was undoubtedly moved. But out of the caution of the soldiers, he still discussed with the White Palace Hall how to deal with Jihua if there was a change.

It wasn't until soon after that the Anzhou intelligence department sent an urgent message, and Bai Diantang said with a smile: "General Situ, I don't think I need to make so many arrangements." That disciple of yours seems to value your affection! After Brother Wei left, he convened a meeting of his subordinates and announced that he would join the Xu family's army.

But except that he was still in the dark. The rest of the subordinates seemed to unanimously agree to join. So in the evening we passed. There won't be any problems. ”

Looking at this letter, even Zhang Feilong said those words at the meeting, and reported it in such detail. Situ Baili also lamented that the intelligence department of the Xu Jiajun had infiltrated the Gannan Army so deeply. It can be said that even if he doesn't write this letter today, the regiment directly under Zhang Feilong will be annexed by the Xu family's army, and I am afraid that it will be a matter of time.

If it weren't for his own disciple, who had a certain ability to win over his subordinates, I am afraid that he would have been shot by Xu Jiajun's spy personnel. With the information provided by the intelligence department as a reference, they undoubtedly have some more confidence in the operation at night.

The officers and men of the Anju Brigade who rested in this valley for a few days. Before it got dark, he began to bury the pot and make rice. After dinner, the order is given to rest in the middle of the night and there is action. More than 3,000 officers and soldiers fell asleep quietly. Until the first officer was woken up, soon more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Xu family, who were waiting for the battle, came to the place of the junction by the light of the stars and the moon like a ghost in the night.

After sending an officer to the defensive position under Zhang Feilong's jurisdiction, he lit a torch and drew several circles. At the same time, Zhang Feilong and others, who were waiting here until midnight, said in surprise: "It's here." They were quick. It seems that the regiment commander, your junior brother, is really right, this Xu family army has long been ambushed in front of our position. ”

After Zhang Feilong ordered someone to make the code of the joint, he led his battalion-level officers to the commander of the Xu Jiajun who was also waiting for him. saw Situ Baili who had changed into a Xu Jiajun uniform. Zhang Feilong looked very excited and said, "Teacher, I finally saw you." ”

Situ Baili looked at Zhang Feilong, who was much more mature than back then, and said with a smile: "Not bad." You're finally coming of age. You've brought a bunch of truly cherished subordinates and made the decisions that a soldier should make.

Come. Let me introduce you to you, this is the last time I heard about one of your main groups. Bai Diantang, the brigade commander of the Xu Jiajun Brigade stationed in Anzhou. In the future, if you kid wants to get ahead in the Xu Jiajun, you have to take a good look at this White Brigade Commander! ”

Bai Diantang also said with some tears and laughter at Situ Baili's occasional childishness: "Commander Zhang, don't listen to your teacher's nonsense, about your contribution to the pre-battle uprising this time, I will truthfully report to our commander-in-chief Xu." As for the credit of you and your subordinates, you don't have to worry.

In the Xu family's army, at least there has not been a single incident where military merits have been wiped out or embezzled. So, all I can say is that you made the right decision. The matter is urgent, so we won't say much for the time being, or please lead the way. Fight before the evening and give the border guards to the next. Otherwise, when the sky dawns, let the revolutionary army on the opposite side discover the changes here, I am afraid that there will be a lot of unnecessary changes. ”

Seeing Bai Diantang meet and give himself a reassuring pill, Zhang Feilong and these subordinates brought over undoubtedly seemed very happy. Soon, according to the prior arrangement, led by Zhang Feilong, the camp and arms warehouse of the Gannan Division stationed on the border were first controlled.

After taking over the guards of the division headquarters, the division commander of the Gannan Army, who served as the general headquarters of the time, was directly blocked in bed and arrested. In the face of Zhang Feilong's sudden rebellion, the division commander really had a hard time believing it, until Situ Baili appeared in front of him wearing a military uniform of the Xu family. The division commander finally understood why Zhang Feilong made this choice.

After taking down the supreme military commander stationed here, the reception of the Xu Jiajun was smoother than expected, even if there were some officers who were die-hard loyal to the Gannan Army. Facing the soldiers under his command, when he heard that it was Xu Jiajun coming, he was not willing to fight with the other party at all. On the contrary, under Xu Jiajun's propaganda policy, the officers who were unwilling to be annexed by Xu Jiajun were arrested in advance.

Before dawn, Xu Jiajun successfully took over the defensive position of the former Gannan Army in Anzhou. As the situation was brought under control by the Anzhou Brigade of the Xu Family Army and the regimental headquarters under the jurisdiction of Zhang Feilong.

When the morning sun rose, these Gannan officers and men, who were still on the sidelines, saw convoys of weapons and ammunition and cannons quickly filling the already empty warehouses in the station. They also saw from these supply vehicles that the military and financial strength of the Xu Jiajun were indeed not comparable to them.

When the situation on the border was completely stabilized by the White Palace, a telegram was quickly delivered to Xu Bin. Seeing that the Anzhou border was taken safely, there were no major casualties. Gannan Army up and down, when they all showed a good impression of joining the Xu Jiajun, they agreed with it.

Through the intelligence of the intelligence department, the files of Zhang Feilong and a group of Gannan Army officers were accessed, and Xu Bin quickly issued two telegram orders. A telegram order was that the Anzhou Brigade Zhou Dingbian was the backbone to establish the Anzhou Second Brigade, with Zhou Dingbian as the brigade commander, to launch a general attack on Anzhou City.

At the same time, Zhang Feilong, who had made the greatest contribution last night, took the regiment under his jurisdiction as the backbone to supplement the Gannan Army on the border that was willing to join the Xu Jiajun, and quickly reorganized in the border area to form the Anzhou Temporary Third Brigade, and the brigade commander was also temporarily replaced by Zhang Feilong. Cooperate with the White Palace Hall of the 1st Brigade of Anzhou to guard the border against the surprise attack of the revolutionary army. After the completion of the reorganization of the Third Brigade, we will make specific arrangements for the next step.

Moreover, in order to stabilize the situation in Anzhou as soon as possible, Xu Bin ordered the troops entering Anzhou to obey the dispatch of Situ Baili, the chief of staff, in operations. Even the Wang and Second Scar Divisions of the First Brigade of the Xu Family Army, which had already penetrated deep into the border of Yudu, would be at the disposal of this chief of staff when they attacked Yudu Mansion and seized Jiangdu Mansion.

After handing over the battle on the front line of Anzhou Mansion to Situ Baili under the command, Xu Bin shifted his focus to Changzhou. Without any worries, he can completely convene an attack on the hero city in the hinterland of Gannan. He had to get the Gannan props in his pocket before all parties reacted. Therefore, the reorganization of the Gannan Army on the spot is undoubtedly the most ideal state.

Fortunately, in the establishment of Xu Jiajun, both squad and platoon are assigned to deputies, so these grassroots backbones who used to serve as deputies. In this kind of reorganization, the grass-roots officers of the former Gannan Army were replaced, and efforts were made to maintain the stability of the reorganized army as much as possible. There will be no such thing as causing chaos to Xu Jiajun!

After a series of orders were issued, Situ Baili also sighed that this Xu Bin was really bold. He also knew the path of the soldiers, and soon led a guard battalion that was also ordered by Xu Bin to be formed by the elite generals selected from the Gannan Army and the Xu Family Army, with four disciples as commanders.

Quickly came to Zhou Dingbian, the disciple who was finally promoted to the brigade commander as he wished, and began to organize the troops to launch an attack on Anzhou City. As for the county seat from Shui'an City to the border now, after setting off from Situ Baili, Bai Diantang called those guerrilla detachments and brigades to fight freely.

In the case of never getting reinforcements, the speed of the fall of these counties can be said to be beyond imagination, and when the Anzhou Second Brigade, which has just been reorganized, marches into Anzhou City. The military and political commanders who guarded Anzhou found that they had no reinforcements, and now Anzhou City has become an isolated city. And how did they face the attacking forces with artillery?

And when Situ Baili finally stepped into the front for the first time, the influence of this national general was finally manifested. Many of the officers in Anzhou City who joined the army back then were aimed at this idol officer in the Gannan army, and they were not willing to confront the troops led by Situ Baili at all.

Therefore, when seeing that the morale of the army was scattered and there were no reinforcements, the gate of Anzhou, which had only fired a few shots when it came, was opened from the inside under the leadership of a group of grassroots officers. Anzhou City was officially taken over by Xu Jiajun, which also means that Xu Jiajun, in addition to Linzhou Mansion, has also gained another place.

Just when Ning Qingyuan received a telegram from the secret service and learned that it was not the revolutionary army that was in rebellion in Anzhou, but the Xu Jiajun who had never been able to think of it. The telegram that Changzhou City was surrounded by Xu Jiajun and was in danger finally made the governor of Gannan realize that Xu Jiajun showed its powerful offensive power to the world for the first time, and he was afraid that his position as governor would be unstable!
