Chapter 470: On the Ability to Eat
"No way, Galeries Lafayette won't give up on us." After bowing his head and pondering twice, Pan Xiaosu stood up again and looked at Chang Geng.
Very, no, Chang Geng stood up all of a sudden, he had already obtained the inside information, and Chengdu had suppressed the telegram for help. In other words, it is impossible for Cixi to get any news at all, and even if she does, what can she do, now that the main forces of the imperial court are fighting against Liaodong, where can there be reinforcements.
"I told you at the beginning, let you not play smart, now, you only poke out of the basket, you can find your own way." As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Geng stood up. Start tidying up your uniform.
"Where are you going?" Seeing Chang Geng walking out, Pan Xiaosu asked nervously.
"Go back to my Ili general's jurisdiction, don't forget, you fell out with Liu Jun in Xinjiang, but it's not me, I don't need to send you to death with you, to tell you the truth, Yuan Shikai was arrested by the old man who told Liaodong, so, I can last a long time, what about you." : Speaking of this, Chang Geng laughed twice, turned around and walked out, leaving Pan Xiaosu behind and walking out of the governor's gate. and went to his own precinct under the escort of his own soldiers.
Baoji, Chencang. Chen Cangcheng, which was originally not fighting, is now stationed with nearly tens of thousands of troops, Luo Dacheng's corps, and Wu Peifu's corps transferred from Shanxi to Baoji, all gathered in more than a dozen villages around Chencangcheng, **** training and hurrying to replenish supplies.
Lijia Village, west of Chencang City. At the Temporary Headquarters of the Western Advance Corps, Wu Peifu, who was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, was contemplating the map of Gansu.
And next to him, Luo Dacheng and military adviser Yiketang Adu stood quietly aside, waiting for Wu Peifu's consideration.
Although Luo Dacheng has the rank of general, in front of Wu Peifu, he still stands aside in a proper manner.
"All armies are ready." Bowing his head and pondering for a while, putting down the command pole in his hand, Wu Peifu turned around and asked lightly.
"Commander, Wang Bi has been prepared, and the Eighteenth Army has entered Qingyang according to your orders. You can enter Ningxia at any time. And the 19th Army, the 20th Army, as well as the 31st Division, and the 7th Cavalry Division, have already entered the attack position according to the order. The staff officer next to him reported the situation loudly.
According to Liu Jun's instructions, this time the troops were sent to take the northwest, which now includes Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. With more than 100,000 troops, it is not easy to take the territory of nearly 3 million, so after Wu Peifu and Iketang Aluo Dacheng and Zhang Yi met in Xi'an, they decided to divide their troops into two routes. Zhang Yi's corps, directly from Outer Mongolia such as Xinjiang, and Luo Dacheng's corps, that is, the 18th Army and a cavalry brigade, will be responsible for taking Ningxia, after all, Ningxia now has less than 30,000 Eight Banner Army and thousands of patrol battalions, with an army and a cavalry brigade, it is more than rubbing, and Wu Peifu will lead the remaining troops into Gansu, after clearing the land of Gansu, enter Aksu, and then enter Xinjiang, converge Zhang Yi, from north to south, after taking the entire Xinjiang, march into Qinghai.
Originally, Wu Peifu meant that a corps of troops entered Gansu, but Yi Ketanga reminded of a very important problem, that is, the Qing army stationed in Gansu was the Gan army, and although the Gan army was not as equipped as Liaodong, Dong Fuxiang, the governor of Gansu, was indeed a powerful figure.
Therefore, in the end, Wu Peifu decided to use all the main forces to fight Dong Fuxiang with all his might.
"Okay, since that's the case, then the departments will go back and prepare, and attack the day after tomorrow."
"Report, Lushun Emergency." A staff officer walked in and handed Luo Dacheng a piece of information in his hand.
Wu Peifu looked at Luo Dacheng, he didn't know what was said above.
"The marshal is good, I am worried that we will not have enough troops, so we have transferred the 13th Corps and the 19th Corps from Henan and Nanjing respectively."
"Okay, with these two corps, we have an army of 200,000, and it is more than enough to take the northwest." Iktanga on the side slapped his hands fiercely, after all, these days, what he was most worried about was the lack of troops, and now, the enemy method of this telegram could be regarded as completely relieving his worries.
"Okay, attack the day after tomorrow." With a loud shout, Wu Peifu slammed his fist on the table.
Lushun Headquarters, cold weather and the past, Wu Hao has taken off his thick winter military uniform and changed into the summer military uniform of the Liaodong Army.
"Head, why do you want to mobilize the troops of the two corps into Shaanxi again to serve as a reserve for Wu Peifu, can it be said that the three corps are not able to completely take the northwest." Zhong Lin on the side glanced at Liu Jun who was sitting on the chair and asked suspiciously.
This doubt is not only Zhong Lin, even Zheng Yiqian has doubts in her heart.
"Don't you two understand?" Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two, Liu Jun asked softly, and seeing the two nodding, Liu Jun put down the pen in his hand.
"The agreement we signed with Japan is only three months, and within three months, if we can't take the northwest, or annihilate the main force of the northwest court, then we will face a two-front battle again, so I will mobilize heavy troops, that is, to take Gansu, Xinjiang and Ningxia within three months, and if possible, enter Qinghai."
So that's the case, and the two nodded understandingly.
"By the way, Zhang Yi came and asked General Ili how to deal with it, whether to send troops in, or to be led by Chang Gung again."
Wu Hao already knew the ins and outs of the matter of General Chang Gung of Yili, bowed his head and pondered for a few moments, and Liu Jun stood up.
General Ili's jurisdiction is different from Xinjiang, and the place he ruled is bordering Tsarist Russia, and during this time, although he has become an alliance with Tsarist Russia, in the future, sooner or later, he will have to turn against Tsarist Russia. And Chang Gung has been a general of Ili for so many years, and he knows the situation very well. Thinking of this, Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin.
"Appointed, Chang Gung is the military and political chief of Yili, and his subordinate troops are organized as the Second Independent Army of Liaodong, and Chang Gung is appointed as the commander of the army, with the rank of lieutenant general."
In the distance, there was a deafening whistle.
"Why, this Pacific Fleet is going to leave less than a day after it returns?" Hearing this voice, Liu Jun came to the window, opened the window, and he saw that the Pacific Fleet of Tsarist Russia had risen a thick soot and was slowly leaving the military port.
"Head, don't mention it, Vladivostok has been occupied for nearly half a month, and the governor of the Far East is urging the Pacific Fleet to return for reinforcements by telegram a day, and you have been letting Li He drag it out like this, so yesterday after the fleet returned, the Tsarist Russian minister personally went to the Admiralty, so now they are ready to go back and fight to the death with the combined fleet.
Hmph, then it depends on their ability, looking at the distant prince, Wu Hao snorted coldly and closed the curtains.
