Second, I ask for subscriptions and recommended collections

Beijing, Young Marshal's Mansion.

Feng Yong was in a good mood. Beijing Mayday is still very comfortable, and Feng Yong has just received news that Feng Yong's family will leave for the south in the near future, and Feng Yong's eldest son Feng Zhenguo will celebrate his 100th birthday in his new home in Beijing. Moreover, the situation on the front line has developed relatively smoothly. Under the command of Jiang Baili, the million-strong army of the National Defense Army showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, which made Feng Yong feel very relieved.

In the 21st century, powerful commanders have never been concerned about the lowest things. They only focus on the general direction, as long as they manage those who hold power. Feng Yong thought so. He wants to firmly grasp the military power, but it does not mean that he will personally experience the war. As a result, the general commanders of the Wehrmacht have more autonomy than the generals of other powers. Coupled with the excellent quality of the soldiers and the sufficient logistical supply, the national defense force was able to win every battle, become the largest force in China in a very short time, and accomplish the seemingly impossible miracle.

"Report to the young marshal, the Third Army sent an urgent telegram, and our army broke through Zhang Xiaozhun's troops, killed 8,000 people, and captured more than 60,000 people. Zhang Xiaozhun and other high-ranking cadres of the Beiyang Army did not escape, and all of them entered the prisoner of war camp of our army. Now Zhang Xiaozhun has been escorted to the front-line command and handed over to Commander-in-Chief Jiang Baili to deal with. Li Yang said excitedly.

"Great. Send a telegram to General Baili and ask him to woo Zhang Xiaozhun to join the Wehrmacht, and on the premise of not harming the interests of the Wehrmacht, you can agree to all his conditions. Feng Yong said with a smile.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiaozhun has the potential to be a famous general, his own ability to command troops is very good, and he is from a professional class, so he has a lot of room for growth, as long as he experiences more wars, he can become an excellent commander. Feng Yong naturally attached great importance to it. Moreover, Zhang Xiaozhun, Jiang Baili, and Cai Ye are also known as the three heroes of Chinese non-commissioned officers. Now it seems that it really lives up to its name. Jiang Baili became an important commander of the National Defense Force, and Cai Ye is almost healed from his injuries now. Joining the Wehrmacht is almost a foregone conclusion. If Zhang Xiaozhun is added, the three heroes of the Chinese non-commissioned officers will all fall into the hands of Feng Shaoshuai. It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Wehrmacht is like a fierce general, and the commander is like rain. These made Feng Shaoshuai full of confidence in the future.

"Report to the young marshal, the front command is in an emergency." The Confidential Section sent the latest telegrams.

Feng Yong looked at the telegram with a very satisfied look on his face.

"General Baili has made a military order, and it seems that our defense force is going to add another general." Jiang Baili knew Feng Yong's character, and he was also more confident in persuading Zhang Xiaozhun, after all, they had a good personal relationship, and before Zhang Xiaoli entered Beiyang, the two sides had participated in the revolution together and resisted Yuan Shikai. Now Zhang Xiaozhun has been captured with all his might. It is also worthy of Beiyang. Moreover, Jiang Baili knew about the unfair treatment that Zhang Xiaozhun received within the Beiyang Army, which made Jiang Baili more confident.

With the defeat of Zhang Xiaozhun, the entire area north of the Huai River fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht. Zhang Zuolin moved extremely fast, and he didn't care about other counties north of the Huai River, and led the elite army to attack the Huai River, aiming at Bengbu on the south bank of the Huai River. There were 300,000 recruits of the Beiyang Army. If the Third Army defeats it, there will be no major resistance in the whole of Anhui.

Although Zhang Zuolin moved quickly, he was not the fastest in the national defense force. The fastest move was the main force of the Second Army of the Wehrmacht led by Zhen Zhen. After trapping Sun Chuanfang in Zhengzhou, Zhen Zhen left most of the elite troops of the army, and then cooperated with 100,000 new troops, and left Yan Xishan, the deputy commander of the commander level, to supervise, which can be said to have blocked Sun Chuanfang in Zhengzhou City. There are no big opponents in the entire northern part of Henan.

So Zhen Zhen led the troops and launched a rapid march like a long-distance training, and the army soared into a hundred miles a day. When the Beiyang Army did not react, it easily took Xinyang, an important town in Henan, and cut off one of Wu Peifu's supply lines, making Wu Peifu's situation even worse. Just when everyone thought that Zhen Zhen would take Xinyang as the foundation, wave his army north, and attack the First Army on both sides to defeat Wu Peifu's department, Zhen Zhen took a break in Xinyang, leaving the garrison to clean up the local military and political system in Beiyang, and those who resisted were killed. Then he led the main force of the Second Army to continue southward, aiming directly at Wuhan, an important city in the northern seas. The reason why Zhenzhen aimed at Wuhan is that in addition to Wuhan being an important town in Beiyang, there is also the most important point, that is, the largest military enterprise in Beiyang, Hanyang Arsenal, is in Wuhan. Although there are Japanese support in the rear in Beiyang, Japan's support for Beiyang is also limited, and it is impossible for Japan to supply weapons and equipment to Beiyang without restrictions. What's more, under the pressure of the Wehrmacht, Beiyang frantically expanded its army. In a short period of time, Beiyang raised an army of one million. Many of these million-strong armies are unarmed. And the source of these soldiers' weapons will fall on the Hanyang Arsenal. …,

It has to be said that after Beiyang went south, unprecedented attention was paid to military enterprises, and the scale of the Hanyang Arsenal more than doubled. It is not that Beiyang has repurchased machinery and equipment, but that Beiyang has concentrated some small arsenal equipment in its sphere of influence in Wuhan, and expanded the scale of production and increased production capacity through centralized production. In this case, the Hanyang Arsenal almost became the heart of the Beiyang Army's weapons export. Even with the low position of Wuhan, it is further raised.

Zhenzhen's forward speed shocked Beiyang. The Minister of Beiyang Defense sent a telegram to Wu Peifu, hoping that he could lead his army south to block the Zhenzhen Division, and in any case, the Hanyang Arsenal could not be destroyed by the National Defense Army.

However, this request was rejected by Wu Peifu, and now Wu Peifu has been entangled by the First Army. He is now at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength. Of the 100,000 recruits, less than 30,000 survived the brutal street fighting. Add to this the attrition of its elite troops. Wu Peifu's troops are already less than 100,000. Although these troops have all experienced blood, the survivors of the 30,000 recruits have been greatly stimulated and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time, which naturally makes it difficult for Wu Peifu to take big action. At present, the First Group Army's battle losses of more than 200,000 troops have basically been replenished, and although the combat effectiveness of the First Group Army has declined somewhat, the loss of combat effectiveness is limited because the proportion of veterans in the troops is still very high. What's more, after the Battle of Luoyang, Hu Jingyi has become more and more proficient in commanding the troops, and now he has a faint feeling of being handy. Moreover, since the rise of the Wehrmacht, the Wehrmacht has fought a lot of movement warfare, and it can be said that it has far more experience in movement warfare than positional warfare. Therefore, Wu Peifu's idea of depleting the strength of the Wehrmacht through sports operations and looking for fighter planes is difficult to realize.

The reconnaissance unit of the Wehrmacht is very powerful, every time Wu Peifu's troops are discovered, they can't get rid of it at all without paying a certain price, and the First Group Army leads a reserve army of more than 100,000 people to always form a group, and it is also very cautious about terrain reconnaissance. If he fights hard and lacks logistical supplies, Wu Peifu lacks self-confidence in tearing off a piece of meat from the national defense army, and naturally he will not take the risk of launching a hard-fought battle. Moreover, the equipment level of the Tiger Guards under his command has also returned to its original size. It was not the loss of weapons and equipment of the Tiger Guards, on the contrary, during the Battle of Luoyang, the biggest loss was the troops, not the weapons. The reason why Wu Peifu forbade the Tiger Guards to fight with large firepower was because the logistics of Wu Peifu's department could not support such a high-intensity and high-firepower operation at all. All this made Wu Peifu very depressed.

Zhen Zhen occupies Xinyang, cutting off one of his logistical supply lines, making his conditions even more difficult. It was more difficult than he thought to get out, and he didn't have the energy to take charge of other Wehrmacht.

At the critical moment, Feng Guozhang's vision as an outstanding military strategist was shown, and he dispatched elite troops from Hunan and Hubei provinces to gather in the important town of Wuhan, and then sent his confidant general Wang Zhanyuan to lead the defense of the Hanyang Arsenal. At the same time, Feng Guozhang telegraphed to the counties in Henan that were still under the control of Beiyang, calling on the local landlords to raise troops on their own to assist the government in attacking the invading national defense forces.

I have to say that Feng Guozhang's hand is very ruthless. He took full advantage of the drawbacks of the Second Army's elongated logistics, and at the same time took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the landlords in Beiyang with the Beijing government's land policy. You must know that in Beiyang, the landlord class is an extremely terrifying interest system. Even in Beijing, with the exception of a limited number of provinces where land reform was completed and landlords were forced to change careers, landlords in other provinces maintained a certain degree of authority at the local level. There is no way to do this, because although the Beijing government is strong, it is also unwilling to exacerbate domestic contradictions. Thus, in most provinces, the Peking government adopted a policy of gentleness to gradually divide and weaken the power and wealth of the landlords, and then vigorously encouraged commerce. Then, in conjunction with other policies, the landlord class was slowly abolished. Regardless of whether the Beijing government adopted radical or gentle policies, the aim was simple: land in the hands of the landlords. This situation, under the deliberate propaganda of Beiyang, was transformed into the hatred of the landlord class against the Beijing government and the National Defense Forces.

Therefore, after Feng Guozhang's order was issued, mysterious and fearless robbers appeared on the logistics road of the Wehrmacht. The unprepared Wehrmacht suffered several losses. Later, under Feng Yong's appointment, Yan Xishan, who was sitting in Zhengzhou, temporarily served as the commander of the Henan garrison, responsible for local stability in Henan and ensuring the logistics supply of front-line operations.

Following Feng Yong's order, Yan Xishan acted quickly, first banning the Beiyang government agencies in the occupied areas, and then even conducted an in-depth investigation into the problem of robbers. Yan Xishan not only has a military vision, but also has extraordinary attainments in government construction and economic construction. At the same time, Yan Xishan has the unique shrewdness and calculation of Shanxi people. After killing several landlords involved in the looting of military supplies, Yan Xishan discovered the conspiracy. Therefore, Yan Xishan adopted new methods. Any landlord who has a relationship with the robbers, once discovered, needs to pay a huge amount of life money. At the same time, landlords who fought with government forces will be rewarded. and received a commitment from the Wehrmacht to protect the family's security. Yan Xishan killed a group of people and set up a group of typical examples of supporting the army, which soon shocked the occupied areas of Henan.
