Chapter 29: Charcoal in the Snow
The day on which the Japanese fleet set sail, according to the agreement, was also the day when the Beiyang Army, which was far away in the direction of Xuzhou, began to operate.
Duan Qirui appointed himself as the commander-in-chief of the government's anti-rebellion and bandit army, and Zhang Xun and Cao Kun were appointed as commanders of the southern and northern routes, and Wu Peifu was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, leading an army of 100,000 to launch an attack on the Shandong Peninsula.
At this time, Zhang Xun no longer had the opportunity to lead his pigtail army to carry out any "restoration" farce. If we look at history, malicious guesses. Why did Zhang Xun's pigtail army stage such a farce at the most intense time of the "government and court competition", and why would it be easily destroyed under Duan Qirui's favor.
To put it bluntly, he just fell for the poisonous trick of a group of treacherous villains, and went to perform a "foreplay" for others so that he could take the stage by himself, and at the same time ruined his own future. As a result, it was the dream of the prime minister, who was Duan Qirui's sole control, and also the army he organized with Japan's military aid and loans.
These warlords, to put it funny, their armies are equipped with weapons, quite a few times, from Tang Yunyang's Thunder International from the whole ship of arms shipped back from Europe. Although it is said to be a full set of German equipment, there is no German-made heavy artillery. These things have become the support firepower of Li Xiaohuai's light armor division at this moment.
If it weren't for these businesses, where did Tang Yunyang's troops get so many heavy artillery, it was nothing more than the reason why he left all the artillery when he sold them to others.
Of course, they do not sell artillery to the Beiyang warlords, who can buy them from others. Among the equipment of the 100,000 Beiyang Army that came to attack at this time, there were more Japanese 37 mm, 75 mm, and 105 mm field artillery and mountain artillery. In addition, each company of heavy machine guns will also be equipped with one. More are grenade launchers, which can be fired up to 100 meters away.
If it is said that against other Chinese armies at this time, they may be regarded as having some combat effectiveness, then dealing with the troops of the Chinese National Defense Force is a bit too big.
Along with the bullets and some of the rations, there was also some opium, which of course was not used as analgesics for the soldiers. In order to keep the soldiers in check, the opium in the hands of officers at all levels was a form of reward. If they can break through the opponent's position, then ......
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Chinese National Defense Forces, who were against them, also obtained large quantities of opium from Shanghai, but these opiums had been refined into morphine. Today, morphine, plasma, and Yunnan white are the basic items in the soldiers' ambulance bags.
The defensive positions of the Chinese National Defense Forces they faced were quickly formed by the "rapid front", with 1.5 square kilometers of support point defensive positions. Four lightly armed regiments of the Marine Corps were assigned to a 70-kilometer-long defensive line to defend against attacks from the west.
What do these 1.5 square kilometre lines come to mind? That's right, it was the "Bar-Lev Line" that Israel built on the sand barricades on the west bank of the canal. In front were several 1.5 square kilometers of garrisons, and in the rear heavy artillery and air power were the main forces of defense.
Despite this, these forces are facing a total of 150,000 Beiyang Army soldiers attacking from two directions, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket. However, the range of the 155 mm and 105 mm German heavy guns that the Marines were equipped with was much longer than the large number of old Japanese guns that the Beiyang Army had acquired.
Not to mention the support of more than 500 army aviation planes behind them at any time, and there are "Eagle Eyes" on the top of the defense line to coordinate and command airships to monitor the opponent's movements at all times.
Due to some extraordinary reasons, the air assault division could no longer carry out large-scale mobile operations, so in addition to one regiment each stationed in Weihai, Yantai, and Cangzhou, the remaining two regiments were behind the defensive line and were responsible for the artillery and airfield defense.
Compared with the weak defensive line, which was composed of the Marine Corps as the main force, the rest of the mobile force was an assault cluster formed by Cai Yi's hoplite division and Li Jinyu's tank division. They were assigned to the vicinity of Qingdao, as if Tang Yun was punching hard, so where was their target? What does Tang Yunyang plan to do? It's a pity that no one knows what he is going to do.
If you say, the only thing that counts at this time and has some human feelings is Yan Xishan. Before the war was about to start, he had already sent a telegram to Tang Yunyang.
First, because of his own identity, it is not good to directly congratulate the Chinese National Defense Forces on the capture of Qingdao, and secondly, he said. His own German armor division has just completed its training at this moment, if the Chinese National Defense Force can use it to defend against foreign captives, please Tang Yunyang is not polite.
Tang Yunyang's correspondence to this smiled faintly, and called back as follows.
"Brother Baichuan, this is the value of foreign captives watching, strong enemies are ringing, no one in the country actually sent charcoal in the snow, all at the bottom of the kettle, my brother's electricity made the brother feel the friendship of the brother's cold winter cotton gift.
Solid, now the enemies often make the younger brother's heart panic. However, the younger brother's army, that is, the army of national defense, will cast the heroic soul of Chinese soldiers with blood. I only hope that my brother will pay attention to the overall situation, if the whole country is electrified, and tell the people about my brother's determination to build the motherland. The younger brother is willing to encourage him with his brother.
At present, although the war has not started, the younger brother will win this victory and early decision, and I only hope that my brother can go to the heart of heaven and set an example for my country and my people.
……”
There is no need to say the rest of the words, with Yan Xishan's ability, if he can't even understand such a message, then where does the model province he built come from.
In this telegram, Tang Yunyang mentioned that although he was grateful for his help, the clown who jumped out of this battle did not put it in his heart. This is also to let Yan Xishan know that an army like the Beiyang Army is really vulnerable in his eyes Tang Yunyang.
In addition, he wanted Yan Xishan to show his determination not to wander between "seizing the world by force" and "going all out to build China." Moreover, the Chinese National Defense Forces themselves have the ability to win this battle, and as for helping, they do not need it, and they will not accept his favors.
In other words, one day, if he Yan Xishan becomes an obstacle to the construction of the country, then he Tang Yunyang and his "Chinese National Defense Force" will not sell his face.
After receiving this telegram, Yan Xishan did not get angry and curse people as usual, nor did he simply join the ranks of the "rebel and bandit army" in a fit of anger. On the contrary, the so-called three mixed brigades were mobilized and arrived at Yangquan, Shanxi.
In his opinion, this situation is the most advantageous place. If the Beiyang Army wins, then he is one of the forces that send troops, although he is only behind the Beiyang Army, it can also be said that he intends to reinforce the Beiyang Army at any time.
In addition, if, as Tang Yunyang said in his reply, the Chinese Shenzhou Army has won under such circumstances, then he can wave his army and the "Chinese National Defense Force" to echo each other and directly take the city of Beijing. At that time, he was the first ally in China to achieve an alliance relationship with the "Chinese National Defense Forces."
If he really had to be taken over by the Baath Party and the Chinese National Defense Forces, he Yan Xishan would still be a local leader, or he would have gone one step further and guided the country in China's capital.
This sentence is to be told to everyone as a joke, that is, "everyone knows how to calculate, but the result of the calculation is not the same because of their ingenuity!" ”
"Let's watch the first release of the literary network, please support genuine reading, and support the author's creation of "Don't laugh at group A: 357614jaaa@.
At the same time, "Mr.," who was already planning to launch an attack on the Huangpu Noncommissioned Officer School in Guangzhou with the support of the Soviet Union, also sent a telegram, but the words of the telegram had a certain sense of consolation.
"Things in China are not so simple. A group of people who dare to fight and return to many international students may not be able to solve the problem. Today, when strong enemies are around, if I recklessly set up enemies everywhere, it will be disadvantageous to the country and the people.
At present, I have heard that the number of powerful enemies faced by your army has far exceeded the number of people I expected. If he was willing to consult with the Japanese, he would not be able to solve the problem fundamentally, and he would have benefited from the timing of the battle.
The heart of the country is very clear to all the kings of the Congress. It's just that what the gentlemen's party does, often lost in recklessness and provocation, I am afraid it will cause more problems. If the gentleman is willing to lead all the soldiers to Guangdong. We will meet them in the future! ”
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a clear statement from the heart of "Mr.". It is clear that the China Renaissance Party and the Chinese National Defense Force, which have recently sprung up rapidly in the minds of the Chinese people, have seized a place in the minds of the public, and because of the "Qingdao incident" the Chinese people only have the China Renaissance Party in their minds at the moment, where can they care about what Chinese will fight purely in the Chinese "war to protect the law."
In the words of "sir", it is revealed all the time that if they are powerless to support the war in front of them, then there is still a place for them to retreat in Guangdong. Of course, it is not for them to compete with the head snake, but to change it to another two words "take refuge"!
For such a telegram, Tang Yunyang replied with only eight big words: "Iron bones, every inch of land must be fought for"!
When "sir" received such a reply, he suddenly felt a little guilty for future military operations. Although this is a necessary means to increase one's own strength, although it does not seem to be so above board.
However, in his opinion, the cause of the Chinese Revolutionary Party is still great, and behind the great cause, it is inevitable that some things will be done against the will. This seems to be the posture of a revolutionary and a statesman!
Such a definition seems to be correct, however, at the end of the American Civil War, it seems that the North did not put the South to death, and it does not seem to have any intention to make the South American states simply throw themselves into the arms of Britain and France.
The difference is like bread and milk, there will be right and wrong, and the parties themselves or both parties are often unable to make a fair evaluation, even if the historians of later generations have different views, there will not be the same result.
Therefore, whether it is right or wrong, it is probably just from the heart, if it is too idealistic to say this, then it is from the social contract, the national contract, or the contract of a population, what is the choice!
