Chapter 128: A Great Victory

Chapter 2B is a big win

June 6, 19o9 A.D., noon, Neijiang Science and Technology Socialist Party Headquarters.

"Hehe, Yu Dehao ate Yuan Datou's 9 towns and a heavy artillery association this time hahaha......"

After reading the good news sent from the front, Wen Desi couldn't help laughing.

In the decisive battle that began in the early hours of this morning, due to the fatigue of the Beiyang Army, the night attack of the People's Liberation Army, plus the uprising of the Heavy Artillery Association, all heavy artillery was abolished and other factors. The combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army was greatly reduced, and under the fire of the People's Liberation Army, Duan Qirui's troops were almost powerless to fight back. When the shelling stopped and the infantry began to charge, the Beiyang Army resisted for less than half an hour before it began to crumble.

They fled in a hurry along the railway line, but the back road Hanzhuang was blocked by the People's Liberation Army, and after several failed counteroffensives, it was already dark. The air force of the People's Liberation Army joined the battle, so the First Army of Beiyang, which was closed and beaten, knelt down. This army was completely annihilated, it was a real total annihilation, except for a few troops left behind on the rear railway line, not even a single of these people who entered Jiangsu ran out.

During the fierce battle, Zhang Xun's 14 towns also tried to break out of Xuzhou City and join Duan Qirui. So the People's Liberation Army deliberately resisted for a while, then let go of the opening and pretended to let them break through. So Zhang Xun joined the First Army in a hurry, and then his 14 towns were also destroyed along with the First Army.

Subsequently, 1 Pei turned back and struck a blow and took Xuzhou City, where there were less than 26 defenders left.

In this battle, the Beiyang Army lost more than 186o people and more than 196o people were seriously wounded. More than 64,000 people from Duan Qirui down were captured.

When Xin Jie commanded the First Army, the Second Army commanded by Rossi also caught up with Feng Guozhang in Suqian, who was desperately moving in, but they did not attack immediately, but just surrounded them. Because they are chasing too quickly, they also need to rest. When it was dark, the first wave of attacks was launched by the Air Force

Because the Second Army was on the run for its life, their heavy weapons and anti-aircraft weapons were almost lost, and there was absolutely no room to fight back in the face of the air force's attack. At 1o o'clock, the PLA heavy artillery units arrived, and the official attack began, and the Beiyang Second Army, which lacked both heavy weapons and fortifications, was defeated without any suspense.

Feng Guozhang and other high-ranking officers had already been prepared, and as soon as they arrived in Suqian, they sent people to Luoma Lake to control some boats, but seeing that they could not hold on, they took a few cronies on the boats and prepared to escape through Guò Luoma Lake. The other officers and soldiers followed suit. But there were many people and few ships, so some of them fought among themselves in order to grab the ships that had escaped. Some people saw that they couldn't grab the boat, so they jumped directly into Llama Lake and prepared to swim and escape.

However, Feng Guozhang still could not escape, their ships were attacked by the People's Air Force, and after sinking some of the ships, the rest surrendered, and even those who swam in the water surrendered a lot.

However, Feng Guozhang was very unlucky, because the boat he was on was the fastest, so he became the first target of the air force, and he couldn't swim, so he was tragic. Wait until the people next to him scoop him up, and those who are already dead can't die anymore.

The unlucky old Feng became the highest-ranking officer killed between the two warring sides in this battle. Of course, he himself certainly did not want this honor.

Because the Second Army of Beiyang was chased all the way, it was not like the First Army was completely encircled, and none of them ran away. From the beginning of the People's Liberation Army's attack and the collapse of the Second Army's defense line in northern Jiangsu, there were soldiers all the way to Suqian, and finally Suqian was annihilated, and there were at least a few thousand people who fled. After the battle, there were about 440,000 people in the two towns of the Beiyang Second Army, and Zhang Xun's 14 towns were in Xuzhou, which was included in the First Army), and more than 36 people were killed in several battles, more than 11o6 people were injured, more than 10,000 people were captured, and more than 3oo people were missing, and most of these guys ran away.

In addition to the 6th town that was annihilated in Bengbu, a total of 9 towns, including the 2nd town, 6th town, 11th town, 2nd town, 13th town, 14th town, 6th town, 2nd town, and 2nd town, and the 1st Heavy Artillery Association were annihilated.

Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army now has a total of only 19 towns and 2 heavy artillery associations, and half of this guy has been removed, especially the 2nd, 6th, and 2nd towns in this are all old troops, and the first heavy artillery association has spent countless silver and hard work. This can make the Beiyang Group suffer heavy losses, which is already a nerve-wracking.

The two provinces of Anhui and Jiangsu have fallen into the hands of the Science and Technology Party without any suspense, and the Shandong Province next to it has also been empty, except for a few patrol battalions, there are no soldiers to defend at all. As for the patrol battalions, forget it.

Comrade Xin Jie, the commander of the People's Liberation Army's current campaign, was naturally not satisfied with this result, and after leaving the B Mixed Brigade to clean up the place, he took the rest of the troops north to Shandong. Commander Rossi of the Second Army was naturally not far behind, leaving the 6th Mixed Brigade to sweep up the remnants of the enemy, and after the 1st Mixed Brigade occupied Haizhou (Lianyungang), he rushed to Pizhou E County with two divisions), preparing to attack Linyi, the capital of Yizhou, from here).

In the afternoon of the same day, Beijing.

At this time, the news of the annihilation of the First and Second Beiyang armies also reached Beijing.

After receiving this shocking news, the Beiyang bigwigs were all stupid all at once. The PLA is very capable of fighting, they know this. The combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army is not comparable to that of the PLA, and they know it.

But the gap is so big that this kind of Cheng dù is really unacceptable to them. Ni Sichong 6 Town, which was the first to be annihilated, was far less than the People's Liberation Army because of its isolation and lack of support, and Ni Sichong himself was killed by his subordinates in a coma, and then surrendered. It is understandable that it was defeated in one day.

But this is not the case with the First Army and the Second Army, especially the First Army, with the strength of the 14 towns of Zhangxun in Xuzhou, there are already more than B thousand-thousand. About the same number as the First Army of the People's Liberation Army.

But in such a situation where the number of people is almost the same, it didn't even take half a day before it was washed white by the People's Liberation Army and swallowed in one gulp. Together with the 440,000 men of the Second Army, nearly 130,000 troops, it was gone in two days. If you add the patrol battalions and other miscellaneous troops in the cities along the way, Beiyang lost more than 160,000 people at once, not counting the lost equipment.

Well, now the Beiyang Group is not bad for money, but this time the lost officers will not be able to replenish. Even if it is to recruit ordinary soldiers, I am afraid it will be very hanging. After the news of this Jiangsu defeat comes out, I am afraid that the whole world will not be optimistic about Beiyang, and then you can still recruit a ghost. I'm afraid that except for a very small number of people who can't see clearly or don't share the same sky with the Science and Technology Socialist Party, they don't want to think about it.

It took Yuan Shikai a long time to recover from the shock and disbelief, probably because the news was too bad and the negative was positive, but the big head did not jump like thunder as some people thought, or fainted directly.

"Waste and waste are all a bunch of waste" Yuan Shikai picked up the telegram and read it again, and when he saw the words "It has been confirmed that our first and second armies are all dead, and the bandits have entered Shandong", he couldn't help but tremble all over his body, not afraid, but angry.

"The whole B town has 1 association, nearly 130,000 troops, and it will be gone in 2 days......" Yuan Shikai slapped it on the table, and said with a gloomy face: "It's really a bunch of waste, even if it is 130,000 pigs, let the People's Liberation Army catch it, it won't be caught in 2 days."

Xu Shichang, Wang Shizhen and other Beiyang bigwigs all looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, Shanxi Emergency ......" At this time, Xia Shoutian, a confidant of the big head, hurriedly ran in with a telegram.

"The Socialist Party is doing it to Shanxi again? I have long thought that they will not only do it to Anhui and Suzhou......" Yuan Shikai glanced at him and said very calmly.

"It's the Science and Technology Socialist Party, and there's the 15th Town...... Defected......" Xia Shoutian didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly handed over the telegram.

Yuan Shikai took the telegram and glanced at it, then smiled bitterly: "Okay, it's a good blue sky, I can see it......"

The telegram was inscribed by Jiang Gui of Datong, which said: The People's Liberation Army's Pei and 1O divisions in Shaanxi suddenly attacked Shanxi this morning, and the 15th town stationed in Shanxi under the leadership of Lan Tianwei directly declared an uprising, and now half of Shanxi Province has changed banners, and if there is no rescue, it is only a matter of time before Shanxi all falls.

"Prime Minister, don't worry. We still have soldiers, and we will transfer all the troops in the northeast. and the Science and Technology Socialist Party" Duan Zhigui jumped out. At this time, Beiyang also stationed the 6th, 2nd, and 2nd towns in the northeast, mainly to guard against Tsarist Russia and Japan.

Wang Shizhen immediately said: "If all the troops in the northeast are transferred, who will keep an eye on the Japanese? Now they are engaged in the ...... of east and west on the island."

"Do you still have the heart to manage the island, now the bandits are all fast forward," Duan Zhigui glared and said. In normal times, he would never dare to talk back to Wang Shizhen, but at this time, he couldn't care so much.

Yang Du also did not approve of the mobilization of troops in the northeast, "Our dispute with the CSD is a civil war, and if the Japanese take advantage of this matter, then we will be guilty of too much......

"Now that the situation is critical, what do we have to make concessions to Japan, it is important to stand up to the Socialist Party first," Liang Shiyi supported Duan Zhigui's opinion.

While the two sides were arguing, another cronie, Gu Ao, ran in again, also holding a telegram in his hand.

"Prime Minister, Henan Urgent, the second and third divisions of the bandits suddenly attacked this morning, and have now crossed the Wusheng Pass and are heading north along the Jinghan Line...... Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Henan, couldn't resist it, and the shape was extremely critical, so he asked the prime minister to save the troops."

The hall that was still noisy just now suddenly fell silent......

After a long while, Yuan Shikai sighed and said sullenly: "Rescuer, where am I going to find a rescuer for him now?"

Wang Shizhen hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, let Cao Kun and Wu Peifu go to the Zhili border to deploy defenses first......
