………………………………………… Zhang Xiaozhun's reaction was not unpleasant, but he was facing the veteran Zhang Zuolin. A strongman who can occupy half of China in the original time and space. Now leading Jīng Rui's army south, he was suddenly attacked by the enemy's weak forces and lost some troops, which made Zhang Zuolin's heart extremely uncomfortable. After stabilizing the situation, he will naturally not let go of Zhang Xiaozhun, a bold and reckless junior.

Of course, Zhang Zuolin is not a reckless man, if there is no accurate information provided by the National Defense Army, knowing that there is only Zhang Xiaozhun in the entire northern Anhui region, I am afraid he would not dare to be too careless. After all, Beiyang can concentrate hundreds of thousands of troops to fight. Even if these are some new recruits, their combat effectiveness is very strong. But ants mostly bite and kill elephants. And in the hands of famous generals, recruits can also play a strong combat effectiveness, Zhang Xiaozhun does not have the strength of a peerless famous general now, but since he has trained the new army, a series of performances have the potential of a peerless general, if Beiyang can support him as much as possible, so that he has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, coupled with stable logistics, it is not yet known who will die.

It's a pity that the struggle within Beiyang is too cruel. Zhang Xiaozhun eliminated dissidents on a large scale and consolidated his authority in the new army when he did not become a peerless famous general, which was a sign of innate rebellion in the eyes of those Beiyang veterans. In this case, no matter how outstanding Zhang Xiaozhun's ability is, they will not be of great use. In the eyes of the old man of Beiyang, Beiyang is "full of talents". Zhang Xiaozhun's ability is only out of sè. As the saying goes, without Zhang Butcher, they will not eat hairy pigs. Under this kind of thinking, even if the Wehrmacht army pressed the border, Beiyang still did not support Zhang Xiaozhun.

"Report to the marshal, the first division has bitten Zhang Xiaozhun's troops, and the two sides are entangled." Chief of Staff Zhang Zuoxiang said loudly. In the Wehrmacht, there are many commanders, but only Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin are considered to be called marshals. After all, they belong to the older generation of generals in the National Defense Army, and one of them is the father of Young Marshal Feng and the father-in-law of Young Marshal Feng. are worthy of the title of handsome. And most of the rest of the people are also called titles. After all, Feng Yong is called a young marshal to the outside world, so they naturally can't surpass Feng Yong in terms of title. This is also a manifestation of authority.

"Great. Send electricity to the front line, at all costs, bite him to the death, Lao Tzu will kill all these dogs today. "Zhang Zuolin's face is not very good-looking. Although he was not careless, he didn't expect Zhang Xiaozhun to be so decisive. Shot decisively before the two sides made contact. If it weren't for the Wehrmacht's quick moves, I'm afraid they would have really suffered huge losses.

"Let the main force of the Eighth Army accelerate its advance and run to the front of the enemy, since he Zhang Xiaozhun dares to come, then don't think about going again." Zhang Zuolin said loudly.

Zhang Xiaozhun really can't run out now. The Wehrmacht marched fast, but not too far ahead of them. But what made Zhang Xiaozhun unable to escape was the Jīng Rui small unit of the National Defense Army. That is, the LTTE of the Northern Military District. Although they are not nominally special forces, their training methods are completely special forces. It is also considered a strong force in the special forces of several military districts of the Wehrmacht. This small army only had more than 100 people, but they were carefully selected from tens of thousands of troops, and their combat effectiveness was very strong. Long marches were not a burden at all for them.

It was this special forces that set off late, but instead ran ahead of the enemy in the shortest possible time. Then unfold the layers of blocking. While inflicting huge casualties on the Beiyang Army. It also completely retarded the advance speed of Zhang Xiaozhun's troops.

When Zhang Xiaozhun led the remnants of the army back to Xuzhou City with difficulty, what was waiting for them was the muzzle of the National Defense Army's black hole and the bloody dragon flag.

After Běi Jīngzhèng Fǔ established the status of Zhōng Yāng, he set about revising the national flag and national emblem. Originally, Feng Yong wanted to directly use the five-star red flag of later generations, but when he thought of the red sè regime in the north, Feng Yong gave up the red. At this stage, don't get too involved with red sè. lest we return to the track of history. Then Feng Yong thought of the Chinese national totem, so the běi jīngzhèng fǔ national flag was replaced by the blood sè dragon flag.

The dragon does not exist in reality, in the ancient Yellow Emperor era, the totem of the Yellow Emperor tribe was a big snake, and later the Yellow Emperor led the tribe to rise, and began a unified campaign. In order to speed up the integration of the conquered tribe and his own tribe, every time the emperor conquered a tribe, he would cut off a part of the totem worshiped by that tribe and add it to his own totem. With the passage of time, the Yellow Emperor tribe unified the Yellow River valley and became the ancestor of the Chinese nation. The Yellow Emperor tribal totem has also changed into the current appearance of the divine dragon. And the dragon is a symbol of honor in China. The emperors of ancient China compared themselves to the true dragon emperors. All these show that China's dragon culture has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Of course, the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with a tooth and claw on the national flag zhōng yāng was opposed at first, after all, the dragon represents the Son of Heaven in China, and the use of the dragon as a totem is suspected of restoring the feudal system.

However, after consultation, the top management finally agreed to this proposal. Then the blood sè dragon flag became the symbol of běi jīngzhèng fǔ. In the future, it will certainly become famous all over the world as China's power grows.

After being surrounded under the city of Xuzhou, Zhang Xiaozhun concentrated his main force and wanted to break out, but the national defense army not only had strong troops, but also had an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment. After breaking through three times in succession, Zhang Xiaozhun's Beiyang Army not only did not break through, but suffered heavy losses, and its living space was also greatly suppressed. And Zhang Xiaozhun himself was hit by a stray bullet, but fortunately, the jǐng guard around him was enough jǐng, otherwise Zhang Xiaozhun would be in danger of his life.

"Listen to the Beiyang Army inside, you have been surrounded. The hundreds of thousands of troops of our Wehrmacht have formed an unbreakable iron bucket. You have no hope of breaking through. Lay down their arms, and the Wehrmacht gave preferential treatment to prisoners. A loud voice of surrender came from all directions. The Beiyang soldiers in the encirclement were moved, and many soldiers dropped their weapons and quietly escaped.

"General, what shall we do?" Jang Hyo-joon's adjutant asked.

"Has Nanjing been contacted?" Zhang Xiaozhun asked in a deep voice. The massive blood loss made his face a little pale.

"Nope. Our radio station was broken, and our weapons and ammunition were running out. The soldiers have already quietly surrendered. If we don't take measures, I'm afraid that these forces in our hands will also be completely dispersed. The deputy said anxiously. He was originally a small officer who was oppressed in Beiyang, but Zhang Xiaozhun valued him and promoted him to be reused. gave him his current high position, so he was loyal to Zhang Xiaozhun, and Zhang Xiaozhun also valued him very much.

"How many more do we have?" Jang Hyo-joon's face is very bad. He had no bitter hatred for the Wehrmacht in his heart. After all, the two sides are at war, each with its own master. His strength is not good, he is defeated, and even if he dies in battle, he has no regrets. But in his heart, he was very resentful of those Beiyang elders who were eating vegetarian meals. If it weren't for their intervention, according to the original strategic deployment, there would be 300,000 soldiers under his command, even if almost all of them were new recruits, but as long as they operated properly, it would still be no problem to resist the Beiyang offensive. After all, Beiyang originally formulated a complete strategy to resist the Northeast. But these seemingly well-fitting strategies have been completely dismantled internally.

"The troops are already less than 10,000 people. Most of the lost troops were broken up during the retreat. And just three breakouts and lost a lot of jīng sharp. Now that we are short of weapons and ammunition, and almost all of our soldiers are wounded, it is even more impossible to break through. ”

"Surrender!" Zhang Xiaozhun said in a low voice.

"General?" The adjutant said with a look of surprise on his face.

"We've lost. You also see the decay inside Beiyang. Although President Feng Da has the heart to change all this, he is now powerless. You also know the treatment of our new army. With President Feng's status, it is difficult to completely shake the decadent class of Beiyang. Beiyang has come to an end. Zhang Xiaozhun said faintly. He was also unwilling. Since he joined the Beiyang Army, he has devoted himself to Beiyang, and he has done his best to train the troops. It's just that the time for the Beiyang reform is too short. And the Wehrmacht is developing too fast. In the short period of time left by the Wehrmacht, Beiyang did not get rid of decay, and naturally lost the opportunity to continue to exist.

"General, is Beiyang really hopeless?" Although the adjutant was ostracized in Beiyang, he was a native of Beiyang after all, and his parents were inextricably linked to Beiyang. This is different from Zhang Xiaozhun. Therefore, his feelings for Beiyang are also different.

"If General Wu Peifu and General Cao Kun can achieve a great victory, defeat or completely annihilate the Wehrmacht in front of them, and inflict huge losses on the Wehrmacht, perhaps Beiyang will still have a chance to live. But if there is no thorough reform within Beiyang, sooner or later it will still be annexed by Běi Jīngzhèng Fǔ. Zhang Xiaozhun sighed and said. What he didn't say was that he still had expectations for the battlefield in northwest Henan where Wu Peifu was located, and Zhang Xiaozhun was not very optimistic about the Jiangsu battlefield where Cao Kun was located. After all, it is certainly not easy to become the commander of the Wehrmacht. If you just look at the reputation, you will suffer a big loss in the end.

Zhang Xiaozhun's Beiyang Army waved the white flag, and then the soldiers laid down their weapons one by one and walked out dejectedly.

At the moment when Zhang Xiaozhun surrendered, the Wehrmacht medical team quickly entered and began to treat the wounded soldiers, which won the favor of the Beiyang surrendered soldiers. There is also a lot of expectation for the Wehrmacht system.

As for Zhang Xiaozhun and other high-ranking officers in Beiyang, of course, they will be treated differently. Even Zhang Zuolin personally met this stunned young man who made him suffer a loss. Then send people to send good students to Baoding. As for Zhang Xiaozhun's future, it is not for him Zhang Zuolin to decide. After all, Zhang Xiaozhun and Jiang Baili intersect inextricably, and Feng Yong also admires Zhang Xiaozhun very much. In the future, he is likely to become one of them, and it is good to have a good relationship now. Zhang Zuolin, an old fox, is well versed in the way of life.
