As soon as Li Cunhou's army of the Fujian army passed through Quanzhou, Chen Jiongming was in Zhangzhou and went to the field, and he himself left Zhangzhou at a very fast speed and rushed to the port wharf, preparing to go to Hong Kong by boat.

Chen Jiongming's telegram made the Beiyang government feel a sense of arrogance, after all, since the war with the southwest Cai Yi, Beiyang has suffered successive defeats, which has made the entire Beiyang system permeated with a smell of decay. But now Chen Jiongming's escape has given Beiyang a hint of victory and a hint of vitality to the new Beiyang government in Nanjing. After all, no one wants to follow a government with no future.

Li Cunhou, the overseer of Fujian, saw this telegram, and the whole person was relaxed. Chen Jiongming sent a telegram to the wilderness, and then fled abroad, and Zhangzhou, which was originally occupied by him, naturally returned to the hands of Beiyang, so Li Cunhou's march this time became meaningless. If Feng Guozhang hadn't asked him to continue southward and garrison the border between Fujian and Guangzhou, I'm afraid that his Li Cunhou's army would have returned to Fuzhou a long time ago. After all, the terrain in Fujian is too unfavorable for marching. Long marches are even more of a disaster.

Because Chen Jiongming was electrified to go to the wilderness, Li Cunhou thought that there was no strength in the whole of Fujian that could resist them. So, the whole army slackened, and even the scouts were taken back.

"Commander, the enemy has entered our encirclement!" The 1st Regiment of the Kuomintang Party Army had been lying in ambush on both sides of this ravine for a night. The morning dew made the entire ambush position wet. It's very uncomfortable to get on your body. The party army has not been established for a long time and has not experienced any major battles, so if the Beiyang Army sends scouts, it is easy to find their ambush positions. It's a pity that Beiyang is too arrogant, and they are destined to pay the price of blood for their arrogance.

"Wait a little longer!" He Yingqin's eyes stared at the unsuspecting army below. Although this army looks more elite, it is too arrogant. There was not the slightest defense. Of course, He Yingqin will not let go of such a good opportunity. He wants to use this opportunity to annihilate this unit.

Seeing that the Beiyang Army of more than 3,000 people had all entered the encirclement, He Yingqin raised the rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger very decisively.

Syllable!

An officer fell in response, proving He Yingqin's good marksmanship.

"Hit!"

Bang Bang Bang ...... Dense gunfire rang out on both sides of the valley, and the unsuspecting Beiyang Army was instantly put down a lot. The remaining soldiers could only use the bodies of their comrades as cover on the unobstructed official road and return fire on the high ground on both sides.

Because the ammunition of the party army was not sufficient, not long after the exchange of fire, He Yingqin began to change his tactics.

"Charge!" He Yingqin yelled. And rush out of the trenches first.

The first regiment of the "...... Killing" Party Army burst out with strong combat effectiveness, and in this case, the Beiyang Army, which had already been stunned, was quickly defeated, and then finally surrendered with guns raised under the leadership of the brigade commander.

"Victory, ......" resounded on the battlefield. He Yingqin breathed a sigh of relief, with an excited look on his face. You must know that, strictly speaking, this ambush is the big battle in which the party army really participates. Being able to achieve the result of completely annihilating the enemy has already made He Yingqin very excited.

"Clean up the battlefield and gather the captives." He Yingqin greeted excitedly.

"Report to the regiment commander, the army commander is here!" I saw that in the distance, Chiang Kai-shek came to the battlefield surrounded by a group of people.

"Report to the army commander, the first regiment of the party army, successfully completed the combat mission, completely annihilated half of the Beiyang Fujian Army, and captured 86 officers, including the commander of the Beiyang brigade." He Yingqin said excitedly.

"Excellent! Very good! Ying Qin, I will report your merits to the Prime Minister! I hope that you will not be arrogant, continue to work hard, and contribute to the victory of the revolution! Chiang Kai-shek said with satisfaction.

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! He Yingqin said loudly.

"By the way, Ying Qin, this is Wang Bailing, my newly appointed commander of the Second Regiment, the Second Regiment is a newly established unit, which is based on my guard team, and then supplemented the prisoners of the Zhangzhou Security Regiment. The troops are a little unstable and have limited combat effectiveness, so I hope you can help Bai Ling more. Chiang Kai-shek pointed to a young officer in his twenties behind him.

"Yes! Commander, Ying Qin must assist Commander Wang to lead the troops! He Yingqin was very respectful. Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction.

"Captain He, we will be colleagues in the future. I hope to give me more advice in the future! Wang Bailing said with a smile.

"Captain Wang is polite!" He Yingqin nodded. did not dwell too much on this matter, but accompanied Chiang Kai-shek to inspect the battlefield. And look at the seized weapons and ammunition. Looking at the mountains of weapons and ammunition, Chiang Kai-shek was greatly excited. You know, these guns and ammunition are a sign of more troops for the party army. Although Fujian is mountainous and has a smaller population than the provinces in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is located in the southeast, and compared with remote places such as the original northeast, the population is also quite large. After all, the financial resources of the Kuomintang without roots are really limited, and the international arms market is extremely expensive because of the First World War. With the purchase, the Kuomintang could not afford to raise an army of 10,000 people at all.

But seizures are different. Defeated the county seat of Zhangzhou and captured a security regiment of 2,000 people, which was 2,000 guns, although the guns were basically old-fashioned rifles. But after all, it is a modern rifle, even if it is a little behind, as long as it is used well, it is still very combative. Now the 3,000 regular troops in Beiyang have been ambushed, and the captured weapons and ammunition are piled up like Xiaoshan, and the rifles captured this time are quite good in Hanyang. What excited Chiang Kai-shek the most was that because the Beiyang Army was defenseless, when they advanced, their guns were basically safe. In addition, the ambush of the party army came very suddenly, and many Beiyang soldiers were killed without even firing their guns. Some of the weapons and ammunition that were logistically heavy were also cheapened by the party army in vain.

"Rich! What a fortune! Chiang Kai-shek looked at the weapons and ammunition in front of him and muttered in a low voice. It was not Chiang Kai-shek's buns, although he studied military affairs in Japan, he himself had never served as a senior member of the army. I have never seen so many weapons and ammunition.

"Zhongzheng! What do we do next? Liao Zhongkai said with a heavy face. He followed Chiang Kai-shek as a party representative of the party army. Although he was a party representative of the Kuomintang, he should have high rights in the party army. But Liao Zhongkai knew that he didn't understand military affairs, so Chiang Kai-shek alone had the final say in the entire party army. And this is also Sun Zhongan's arrangement. Now that the party army has completely annihilated the vanguard of the Beiyang Min army, the relationship between the party army and Beiyang is irreconcilable. Even with the newly established Second Regiment, the current party army has only more than 4,000 troops. How to be the opponent of such a behemoth as Beiyang.

But Chiang Kai-shek was not in the slightest worried. It seems that Beiyang is not in his eyes.

"Zhong Kai, I now understand why the Northeast Army has been able to develop so fast!" Chiang Kai-shek suddenly asked.

"Northeast Army?" Liao Zhongkai was surprised, and he didn't know why Chiang Kai-shek suddenly mentioned the Northeast Army.

"Plunder, capture! This is indeed a lucrative business. From the early days of its establishment, the Northeast Army started from fighting bandits, and triumphed all the way, so there will be more and more captures. Moreover, the soldiers will become elite after the war, and then fight more victories, replenish new recruits with captured weapons and ammunition, and expand the troops. That's why the Northeast can snowball! Chiang Kai-shek said excitedly.

"Yes! Plunder is the fastest way to develop, but the plunder of the Northeast Army is based on their continuous victories, if the Northeast Army fails once, I am afraid that this development will be interrupted, and it may even fall into a situation of complete passivity or even collapse! From this point of view, Feng Shaoshuai in the Northeast is really lucky! Liao Zhongkai sighed. Since the establishment of the Northeast Army, it has experienced a hundred battles, and there has not been a single major mistake, in addition to the fact that there are many talented people in the Northeast, Feng Yong's luck is also staggering. Otherwise, Feng Yong would not have ruled most of China's territory in more than a year and built up an elite army of hundreds of thousands of people.

"We have eliminated the vanguard of the Beiyang Min Army, which has not only greatly strengthened our firepower, but also greatly weakened the strength of Beiyang in Fujian, this is our opportunity!" Chiang Kai-shek said excitedly.

"Zhongzheng, what do you mean?" Liao Zhongkai said with a sinking expression. At the beginning, he did not agree to ambush Beiyang at this time, after all, a behemoth like Beiyang is not something that the current party army can provoke.

"Let's lead the army north and directly attack Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian. Capture the Fujian overseer Li Cunhou. Chiang Kai-shek said confidently. Seeing the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army, Chiang Kai-shek had such a crazy idea in his heart.

"You're crazy! Fuzhou has tens of thousands of elite troops of the Fujian army, and our party army now only has one regiment with some combat effectiveness, and the second regiment is composed of captive soldiers. How is this possible! This kind of action is looking for death, I don't agree, and the prime minister won't agree to it. Liao Zhongkai objected fiercely.

"Zhong Kai, things are not as serious as you think. It is uncertain whether there are still 10,000 people in Fuzhou's Fujian army after the continuous transfer of Beiyang, not to mention, we have killed 3,000 now. Therefore, I think that even if the Beiyang Army in Fuzhou is more numerous than our party army, it will not be much more. What's more, we are not directly looking for Beiyang to fight. I mean, let's move to the vicinity of Fuzhou first, looking for fighters. Chiang Kai-shek said.

"Just looking for a fighter?" Liao Zhongkai's face looked a lot better. You must know that for them, the top echelons of the Kuomintang, the party army is the hope of the entire Kuomintang, and he absolutely does not want anything big to happen to the party army. Therefore, Liao Zhongkai was relieved to hear that Chiang Kai-shek was not going to fight hard.
