Chapter 352: Tragic Hero
The pigtailed army was menacing, but as soon as they launched the attack, they were beaten to the head by the Feng army, the artillery positions were covered, and the casualties were in disarray, and those gunners abandoned the artillery they had bought with great difficulty, and they all ran away, hiding as far as they could.
When Zhang Xun saw this situation, he was almost mad, and hurriedly asked his cronies to organize a team of supervisors, like driving cattle, to drive the pigtailed army into the battle. Zhang Xun also knows very well that now the armies from all walks of life have not come, and the Feng army has only arrived in the vanguard, if he can't even take this army, he doesn't want to play any restoration drama, it's better to wash and sleep quickly.
Zhang Xun, the commander of the loyal and brave prince, also went crazy, commanded his men, and launched a fierce attack under the artillery fire of the Feng army, wanting to rely on the advantage of numbers and make a desperate bet to break through the Feng army's position.
These pigtailed troops formed a dense charge formation, and rushed towards the Feng army in a mess, for such an opponent Zhang Tinglan did not care very much, the pigtail army in addition to the number of people, the overall lag behind the Feng army, so there is no problem in defeating them, the only trouble now is that the ammunition consumption is too serious, the number they carry is limited, and the cannon is almost exhausted, but the follow-up supplement has not yet come up.
"Let the brethren save ammunition and fight when they get closer!"
"Humble words, we have prepared so much ammunition, and we are still guarding the Jingfeng Railway, we have been fighting since we started, and most of the day has passed, why haven't the logistics kept up?"
Zhang Tinglan also frowned, and smiled bitterly: "Most of this matter is the hands and feet of Premier Duan and Xiao Zhuge Xu Shuzheng, but Uncle Sun should also go to Tianjin, with him in charge, we don't have to worry." ”
At this time, Sun Liechen had indeed arrived in Tianjin, and the main force of the follow-up Feng army had also arrived, and they were preparing to go to the front. supported Zhang Tinglan, but at this time, Lao Duan had already started, and in the name of military action, he recruited all the trains, and at the same time strictly blocked the railway.
Nominally, it is to serve the military, but anyone with a discerning eye knows Lao Duan's ghost thoughts, his purpose is to block the reinforcements of the Feng army, Xiao Xu is smiling and saying to Duan Qirui at the moment: "Zhi Weng, Zhang Tinglan has less than 1,500 people. Even if they are covered in iron and how many nails they can bear, I am afraid that the arms will not be enough for a long time, so we will simply wait for a while and let Zhang Xun defeat them. Then let's go out and clean up the mess again, so as to save the army from being arrogant! ”
Xu Shuzheng's popularity is not large. Losing face one after another in front of the Feng army. Now that he has been robbed of the first credit by Feng Jun, Xu Shuzheng's stomach is full of resentment and jealousy, so he gave Lao Duan such a bad idea.
Duan Qirui nodded slightly when he listened: "The Feng army is indeed sharp, and they should be allowed to suffer a little, knowing that the sky is high and the earth is thick, but I heard that it was Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang's son who led the troops this time." We must not let them be in any danger, otherwise we will become mortal enemies with the Feng army. ”
Lao Duan was still sober at the critical moment, and reminded Xu Shuzheng, don't play too much. At this time, someone came to report that Sun Liechen and Zhou Xuexi jointly asked to meet.
Duan Qirui's brows suddenly furrowed, people are here to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, but they can't be seen, Sun Liechen and Zhou Xuexi came to Lao Duan.
"Duan Gong, Feng Jun was ordered by the president to wave the army into the customs to rebel, why do you want to block the railway and not allow the Feng army to transport personnel and materials, is it possible that Duan Gong also colluded with Zhang Xun and prepared to be a prince?"
After Sun Liechen heard that Duan Qirui blocked the railway, he immediately became angry, isn't this a hindrance, I didn't expect the dignified prime minister to be such a small belly, it is really hateful.
Facing Sun Liechen's questioning, Lao Duan raised his eyebrows: "Master Sun, how could Duan be in the same stream as the rebels, now that it is wartime, the railway naturally must be strictly managed and used for military purposes, what's wrong with this?" ”
"It's a good military use, your Beiyang is the army, isn't it our Fengjun, Zhang Xun rebelled, you didn't act early, and now the Fengjun rebels, you are pulling back your legs, what is your intention?"
Sun Liechen has always been gentle and elegant, but now he is also angry, he was not polite to Duan Qirui at all, and directly said Duan Qirui's sinister intentions, so that Lao Duan couldn't get off the stage.
At this time, Zhou Xuexi hurriedly came out to play a round, and said with a smile: "Zhiquan, everyone is here to rebel, the railway can't be used, I think so, who cares about the two families three or seven, you use seventy percent, and the Feng military uses thirty percent, now the front is fighting hard, the arms unit must be sent as soon as possible, you are a master!" ”
"No way!" Xiao Xu on the side couldn't help but say: "They are all rebel troops, and there must be masters and subordinates, if the army does not respect the order and destroys the overall situation of the rebellion, you should know the consequences." Mr. Zhou, don't forget which side you are, don't think that if you become a son and daughter with someone, you can leave the big tree of Beiyang and find another tall branch. ”
Xu Shuzheng was full of anger, so he spoke very politely, what kind of character Zhou Xuexi is, when Yuan Shikai was there, he had to respect three points, and now when he heard Xiao Xu say this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Xu Shuzheng, where is the Fengjun disrespectful order, President Li Yuanhong has clearly ordered rebellion, and the Fengjun quickly entered the customs and quelled the rebellion, which is a well-known thing." On the contrary, you have bad intentions, first took the initiative to let Zhang Xun enter Beijing, and then obstructed the rebellion of the Feng army, do you dare to make your thoughts public? ”
Zhou Xuexi is too familiar with the situation in Beiyang, he immediately hit Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng's sore spots, although Feng Jun is suspected of robbing the merits, but what Feng Jun does is in line with the rules and can be placed under the sun, but their actions are all villains, and they can't be on the stage at all, if they are exposed to the sun, Duan Qirui's reputation will not be much better than Zhang Xun!
Duan Qirui saw that Zhou Xuexi was also angry, he was a little anxious, at this time, there was no chaos in Beiyang, so he wanted to pull the words back, but he couldn't let go of his value.
At this time, Sun Liechen pulled Zhou Xuexi and said: "The railway can't be used by the military, the highway is always okay, we can always carry horses, and we can always send the arms up, Duan Gong, if you stop it again, we will only meet each other!" ”
After Sun Liechen left this sentence, he and Zhou Xuexi went out of Duan Qirui's headquarters one after the other, at this time, there were already a group of reporters who came to inquire outside, and when they saw Sun Liechen, they walked out angrily, and these reporters were all shrewd people, and they rushed over.
"Senior Commander Sun, I heard that Duan Qirui blocked the railway and did not allow the Feng army to use it, what do you think of this matter?"
"The Feng army can't use trains, but also horse-drawn carriages, we used to defend the country and the border, not afraid of life and death, now we eradicate rebellion, and we are not afraid of hardship!"
After Sun Liechen finished speaking, Zhou Xuexi also spoke in a group: "Journalists, Zhang Xun is rebellious and angry, I hope that Tianjin's business elites can stand up, contribute money and strength, and help the army that truly serves the country and the people!" ”
After the two of them finished speaking, they turned around and left, but these two sentences contain too much content, and it all depends on how these reporters interpret it.
At this time, it was already the middle of the night, these reporters did not have a trace of sleepiness at all, they immediately rushed back to the newspaper office, tomorrow's front page headlines have come out, Feng Jun has broken the enemy continuously, Premier Duan cut off logistics, what is the intention? There is a strong enemy in front of the Feng army, and there are hidden arrows behind it, what is the future?
Soon an article was written, although Zhang Tinglan hated uncontrolled news, but these reporters helped him this time, scolding Duan Qirui was originally what they were good at, and now they have no scruples, and some people even moved out the matter of Zhang Xun's entry into Beijing, pointing out that this was secretly instigated by Duan Qirui, and the entire restoration of the imperial system was a play directed by Duan Qirui, and Zhang Xun was just his puppet.
"Zanyao, it doesn't matter if we fall out with Duan Qirui, but don't be involved and talk about them, now that the army is fighting, if the logistics can't keep up, it will be fatal!"
"Don't worry for the time being, firstly, I am sure of the combat effectiveness of the Feng army, and secondly, I am clumsy and do things without leakage, he has already let me fall out with Duan Qirui at the right time, since he dares to arrange it like this, he must be prepared. Let's organize the capacity now, between Beijing and Tianjin, but more than 100 kilometers, there will be no big problems during this time! ”
Zhou Xuexi originally only thought that Zhang Tinglan was an outstanding rising star in the Feng Army, but now that he looks at it, he still far underestimated this young man, Sun Liechen has to obey his arrangement, it can be seen that Zhang Tinglan has a high status in the Feng Army, originally in order to fall out with Lao Duan in Feng Jun, Zhou Xuexi was still a little hesitant, but now there is no doubt at all, they immediately started to organize the convoy transportation.
At this time, Nanyuan had already been slaughtered, piles of corpses were piled up in front of the Feng army's position, and the pigtail army suffered heavy casualties. Of course, the Feng army was not comfortable, the shells were almost exhausted, and there were not many machine-gun bullets left.
Zhang Xueliang held a rifle in his hand, and his eyes were red: "Damn, if the pigtail army rushes up again, we will only have to fight with bayonets!" ”
All the soldiers of the Feng army are ready, and the same is true of those teachers and students in Nanyuan, they witnessed the brave and good fighting of the Feng army, and beat the pigtail army to the head and blood, but the logistics and supplies could not keep up, and their heroes had to fight desperately with bayonets, at this time, there was a sense of grief and indignation in everyone's hearts, what is the government doing, do they want to watch this Feng army be defeated and become the second in the Yuejia army?
Originally, there was a knot between the teachers and students of Nanyuan and Beiyang, but now this estrangement has been magnified countless times in an instant, and the suppressed anger has also surged, almost becoming an irreparable gap. Originally, there were some people who didn't want to go to Fengtian, but now they are completely disappointed in Beiyang, Li Ruyan commanded all the students, Nanyuan also had a little ammunition, all of them were taken out, and all the teachers and students were armed.
He Shilong and the others also found an old-fashioned machine gun in the warehouse and set it up on the position, and they were ready to fight side by side with the Feng army! (To be continued......)
