Anjiang Town Guards the Embassy's Mansion, Wenlu, Wang Zhenyu is happily looking at his son. Adjutant Zhu Cihan had just submitted a telegram from Li Zongren at the front and asked for instructions on whether to continue the attack on Changde.

Wang Zhenyu was reluctant to look at his son, who was still asleep, and walked two steps behind his back, not answering Li Zongren's telegram request, but said to Zhu Cihan: "Xiao Zhu, you have been by my side for almost a year, right?" ”

Zhu Cihan immediately straightened his chest and replied: "Report to the big handsome, it's been thirteen months." ”

Wang Zhenyu smiled: "I remember it so clearly, it seems that I don't like this job, and I have been counting my fingers here." ”

Zhu Cihan's face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer.

Wang Zhenyu patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are also a captain in the army, and when this Changde war is over, you will go to the third issue of the military academy to report." When you come out, go down and lead the troops, and it's up to you to decide where you can go in the future. ”

Zhu Cihan saluted Wang Zhenyu excitedly and said, "Never let down the high expectations of the marshal." ”

Wang Zhenyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You go to Wang Huaishi and send a telegram back to Li Zongren, so that they can stick to Taoyuan and wait for the Second Brigade to take position." Don't think I don't know, before leaving, this kid went to the Luyang warehouse of the Armaments Department and secretly took 40,000 grenades. If this thing is also used, it is estimated that taking Changde City will be like picking up things. Tell him to attack the city first, attack the heart first, and wait patiently for Xiaobai's second brigade. ”

Li County, Li Zhou Town Guard Embassy, Wang Zhengya looked at the telegram sent by his son in disbelief, word by word, for fear that he had read it wrong or confused.

He used 8,000 men and horses to attack 5,000 enemies, but the result was a complete defeat. The commander said everything he could, and he exaggerated the enemy's strength in order to shirk responsibility, which was really a mistake for me!

Wang Zhengya couldn't restrain his anger and scolded: "He thought that he didn't study in a military school, and he was a showman." What does it mean to fire a hundred guns at once, what does it mean to retreat without chaos, and what does it mean to not fire a gun from 50 meters away? Is he talking about the Xiangxi Army? Also known as the Tiger Army, did he think it was the Japanese army? Forget about incompetence, and shameless? ”

The officials comforted Wang Zhengya one after another, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you are not polite to break your body. Only Qing Heng picked up the telegram that was thrown on the ground and read it for a long time, and he felt that this Wang Yuyin was not exaggerating. A year ago in Changsha, with only 4,000 men and horses of the Ninth Brigade, Wang Zhenyu killed 10,000 guns of Mei Xin's Fifth Division. At that time, Wang Zhenyu's combat effectiveness made the entire Changsha shocked and frightened, otherwise Tan Yanmin would not have sent him out of the country as soon as he sent him out of the country.

Qing Heng has a number of combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division, whether it is the level of training, discipline, the quality of soldiers or weapons, all of which are above Wang Zhengya's Changde Army. Judging from the telegram, more than a year later, Wang Zhenyu's department is even more powerful, and he actually played with a cannon. When the Fifth Division was defeated in Changsha, it was not equipped with this thing, relying on grenades. From Wang Yuyin's message, it can be analyzed that Wang Zhenyu's department did not use grenades this time.

Qingheng zuihou sighed, Wang Yuyin said that he held Changde, and it was clear that the other party had left the other party, and obviously there was a bigger battle jihua waiting.

Thinking of this, Qing Heng suddenly had an irrepressible thought: Maybe it's time for him to change to a new boss......

Cili County County, Bai Chongxi was sitting in the hall and gnawing on a big cooked chicken leg. This time the work is too hard, and it really can't be done if you don't make up for it.

It took three days of hard work to walk a hundred miles of mountain road and climb to the edge of the river, change those rickety private boats, and go down the river. Then, with lightning speed, he occupied the empty Cili County.

Wang Zhengya obviously didn't expect that an army would appear in the rear of his army over the mountains and mountains, so Cili did not have a heavy guard, only a local garrison, and all of them stupidly asked Bai Chongxi to disarm, and they didn't even play the role of early warning.

Bai Chongxi is now facing two problems, according to the original battle plan of the General Staff Office, he should immediately rush to Changde's flank and cut off the return route of Wang Yuyin's troops, who are currently fighting Li Zongren here. However, the agents of the Changde Station of the Military Intelligence Department provided our Brigade Commander Bai with a new piece of information that there were only more than 1,000 garrisons in Li County, and that the main master, Wang Zhengya, was here.

Bai Chongxi once again passed the commander's instructions in his heart, attacking the city for the bottom and attacking the heart for the top. Didn't he take the brothers of the Second Brigade to climb mountains and wade through rivers and run here in order to end the war as soon as possible and realize the commander's control of Changde's Jihua?

After thinking for a moment, Bai Chongxi made a decision that made Yang Wangui, the chief of the General Staff of the General Staff, thunderous, and the whole army went down the Li River, directly took Li County, and captured Wang Zhengya alive.

On August 2, when the Second Mountain Brigade of Bai Chongxi's headquarters appeared outside Li County with the White Tiger Banner on his shoulder, Wang Zhengya immediately fell into a collapse. He immediately sent a telegram to Beijing asking for reinforcements, but unfortunately it was already far away and could not catch the thirst of the near.

But it was precisely because he firmly believed that he was on the side of the victor that Wang Zhengya refused to surrender to the Xiangxi Tiger Army, and he even angrily reprimanded Qing Heng, who advocated surrender: "Ridiculous, it's really a big deal, let's break out, join Chun'er (Wang Yuyin's name), hide in the mountains and wait for the president's army to go south, Weishenme wants to surrender to Wang Zhenyu'er, who is doomed to failure?" ”

Qing Heng Khan was like rain, and still insisted: "My lord, if you surrender now, at least you can leave something, if you really wait for the northern army to come, you will have nothing." ”

Wang Zhengya was almost out of a violent state, and he didn't listen to it at all, but just ordered Yu Guangming to strengthen his defense.

Qing Heng stomped his feet, turned around and left the town guard embassy, and said with hatred in his heart: "If you don't listen to people's advice, you will bring about your own destruction." ”

As soon as Qing Heng left the town guard embassy, he instructed the adjutant: "You go, invite Mr. Gong to come to the mansion for a small gathering." ”

The adjutant saluted and immediately went to do it......

In the early morning of August 3, Yu Guangming opened the gate of Lixian County on the order of Qingheng, and Bai Chongxi's troops rushed in......

A few minutes ago, in Qingheng's mansion, Wang Zhengya was arrested.

Qingheng sent someone to invite Wang Zhengya to a small gathering, saying that there was a good way to retreat from the enemy. Wang Zhengya was puzzled, and without thinking too much, he took eight guards to Qingheng's house: "Brother-in-law, which master wants to see me and can help me retreat from the enemy?" ”

Qing Heng smiled: "Big brother, you go to the living room and sit first, and people will arrive immediately." ”

Wang Zhengya didn't want to have him, let the guards wait outside, walked into the living room with his personal adjutant, and then did it all in one fell swoop. seemed to remember something: "Sister, why didn't you see her come out to see me today?" ”

Qing Heng also walked into the living room at this time, and when he heard this, his face suddenly changed: "Big brother, I have no choice but tonight, you must not hold a grudge." ”

When Wang Zhengya heard this, she didn't understand it for a while, but she looked at Qing Heng with a strange face in surprise: "What do you mean by this." ”

At this time, a person came in from the side door of the living room and smiled at Wang Zhengya: "Gong Peng, the head of Changde Station of the Lower Xiangxi Military Intelligence Department, welcomes the return of Wang Zhen's guard." ”

Wang Zhengya didn't understand what was going on, he was a pig, he pointed at Gong Peng, and then looked at Qing Heng, who had retreated to the door, and said: "Bastard, you even calculate your eldest brother, you are a traitor." ”

Wang Zhengya's adjutant immediately knew that it was not good, and after training, he immediately reached out and pulled out his gun. As a result, a strong guy suddenly rushed out from behind the curtain, and a vicious dog pounced on the adjutant to the ground, and then knocked him unconscious with two heavy punches.

Wang Zhengya saw that the situation was not good, and rushed straight towards Qingheng, how could Ming Dahu, who had already subdued the adjutant, give him this opportunity. With quick movements, he casually pulled out the adjutant's gun, pulled the trigger and directly pressed against Wang Zhengya's temple, under the conditioned reflex, Wang Zhengya had to stop rushing forward, and then stood in place with a blank face.

Outside, Qing Heng's ambush had already subdued the other seven guards.

Wang Zhengya smiled bitterly, sat on the sofa, and said no more.

On August 4, Bai Chongxi's troops went south and surrounded Wang Yuyin's 6,000 men and horses together with Li Zongren's troops.

looked at the surrender order issued in the name of his father, and then looked at the more than 10,000 Xiangxi Tiger Army outside the city, and then looked at his panicked subordinates.

Wang Yuyin sighed: "As a son, there is a reason to abandon his father, go, send someone to contact the other party, as long as it does not hurt my father, our army is willing to surrender ......"

On the morning of August 5, Wang Yuyin personally commanded 6,000 officers and soldiers to surrender to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. At this point, the ten-day Changde War came to an end, and Wang Zhengya issued an independence and a telegram to Yuan.

This telegram was not sent to Yuan Shikai's desk, because Yuan Shikai's eyes were all on the southeast battlefield, and he ignored these trivial matters.

On August 6, Wang Zhenyu personally arrived in Changde by ship and cordially received Wang Zhengya and his son, and Qingheng and other generals. Wang Zhengya was appointed director of the Qianyang Administrative Office, replacing the retired Mr. Zhu Zhida, while Wang Yuyin lost the opportunity to lead the troops and was ordered to serve as the principal of Qianyang No. 1 Middle School. Qing Heng was transferred to the deputy director of the staff office of the Xiangxi Garrison Command, with the rank of major general, and the Chang German army will finally select 5,000 people to enter the 804 Li County recruit base for retraining according to the situation, and the rest will be laid off and returned home.

As for the eight counties of Li County, Shimen, Jinshi, Taoyuan, Changde, Anxiang, Hanshou and Linli under Changde, they all refer to the old system of Xiangxi to return the government to the people.

Wang Zhenyu also ordered that the armed forces in Changde should be given a period of 15 days, and if they refused to reorganize, they would be requisitioned immediately.

At the same time, three large-scale military agricultural production bases were set up in Changde, and with the continuous increase of the army, the food problem has attracted Wang Zhenyu's great attention.

Wang Zhengya lost control of Changde, and finally had to go to Qiancheng obediently to take office.

Wang Zhenyu was very satisfied with the performance of the 1st Mountain Brigade and the 2nd Mountain Brigade participating in the war, and officially conferred the rank of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi as major generals. As for the follow-up Jihua, the two brigades and the second garrison division of Liu Xingbu arrived and then drove back to Jingzhou Mansion to rest and wait.

After everything was arranged, Wang Zhenyu stood by the Yuan River and said to his fifth brother Wang Zhenbang: "Changde has entered my hands, and I have ...... in the world from now on."
