On the battlefield of Xu Beng, the confrontation between the Wehrmacht and the Beiyang Army did not last long, and the Wehrmacht took the lead in attacking.

Jiang Baili personally went to the front line in Xuzhou to command the operation.

In order to test the situation, the Wehrmacht took the lead in attacking, and three divisions of Jīng Rui began to attack the positions of the Beiyang Army, which was the first time that such a large-scale deployment of troops had been made since the establishment of the Wehrmacht. Beiyang fought-for-tat, and even in order to make up for the gap in the quality of soldiers, Beiyang mobilized more than 100,000 troops. The collision between the two sides was extremely tragic, and both the Wehrmacht and the Beiyang Army fought to the death under the orders of the high-level. The battlefield swallowed up a large amount of life in a short period of time

As the battlefield continued, more and more troops were thrown into the battlefield under the cold orders of the commanders of both sides, and the confrontation between the two sides changed from a confrontation of hundreds of thousands to a great confrontation of hundreds of thousands of people and millions of people. A large number of soldiers fell, and the battle between the two sides was extremely fierce.

Boom Boom!

The heavy artillery units of the Wehrmacht inflicted huge losses on the Beiyang Army, and the Beiyang Army was torn apart by the Wehrmacht artillery shells. In the face of the miserable howls on the front line, Wu Peifu's heart was as strong as iron. With his command—the branch of the branch was thrown in. For the Beiyang soldiers, the battlefield is the slaughterhouse, and they are the lambs to the slaughter.

"Yushuai, the strength of the National Defense Force does not need to be small, we have been completely suppressed now." The chief of staff of the Beiyang Army said in a deep voice. There are too many recruits under Wu Peifu's command, and there is a big gap between the weapons and equipment and the national defense force.

"Got it." Wu Peifu said indifferently. It wasn't that he didn't know that his troops were losing fast. But he didn't have the slightest solution. The gap in armament is not something that can be smoothed out by numbers. And the strength of the Wehrmacht is still converging. Now it has the upper hand in terms of total forces. If Beiyang cannot make a breakthrough on the battlefield, the superiority of the national defense force will continue to expand, and at that time, Beiyang will really not have the slightest chance.

"How are the death squads preparing to ......?"

"It is ready, a total of 1,000 people, divided into five detachments, ready to fight in the rear." said the chief of staff.

"Let's go! Hope they succeed! Wu Peifu said.

"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded, and the Beiyang people had long heard that there were some small units in the Wehrmacht army, which often carried out some infiltration and assassination missions. Originally, Wu Peifu was very disdainful of this, thinking that these were too inferior and not what orthodox soldiers should do. But now it is different, Beiyang has been completely suppressed, and Wu Peifu knows that the strength of the southwest to join the Beiyang Defense Force has soared. For the sake of Beiyang, Wu Peifu can only choose this kind of tactics that he can't look down on.

"Small-force infiltration warfare was invented by the Wehrmacht and is not currently used by all forces. There is certainly not much defense within the Wehrmacht, and this is our chance. Wu Peifu said in a deep voice.

More than a million troops were strangled in the uprising, attracting the attention of all forces. You must know that since the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there has never been a war of such scale in China, and everyone who cares knows that this war will be a war that will affect the fate of China. If Beiyang wins, then China may still maintain its current situation, if the Wehrmacht wins. China is really about to face a huge change. With the běi jīngzhèng fǔ - Guan is strong, the forces of all parties in the country will definitely be violently impacted. Judging by the current situation. The victory of the Wehrmacht was likely, and the forces in the South were finally beginning to think about how to deal with future changes.

Běi Jīng's Mansion of the Young Marshal.

The Battle of Xu Beng, as a possible final battle in China, Feng Yong had to pay attention. Telegrams from the front line continued to reach Feng Yong. The huge sand table deduction shows the form of a huge battlefield in the Huaihe River Valley.

"Wu Peifu's movements are a little strange?" Feng Yong said with a frown. In the past two years, although he has only sat at the headquarters most of the time, he has commanded only a handful of battles. However, in every big battle, Feng Yong would personally receive news from the front line and conduct sand table deductions. His ability to command troops may not be very strong, but his vision has indeed been tempered. Coupled with exchanges with military generals like Jiang Baili and Li Jun, Feng Yong's ability and military attainments have been greatly improved.

Li Jun also frowned and nodded. He also felt that something was not quite right. You must know that the number of troops concentrated in Jiang Baili's hands has exceeded 500,000, and the number of Jīng Rui troops put into battle on the battlefield has reached nearly 300,000. Coupled with the superiority of the Wehrmacht in weapons and equipment, Beiyang will definitely be at a disadvantage. Moreover, Wu Peifu is not a reckless man, and such desperate means should not appear on him.

"Wu Peifu is just fighting hard now, does he have anything to rely on?" Feng Yong said with a frown.

"It's hard to say, as the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Beiyang has ruled China for many years, and there may be some potential for it. Li Jun said cautiously.

"Anyway, it's very advantageous for us on the battlefield right now. I believe that the eldest brother will definitely be able to seize Jin Hui and defeat the Beiyang Army. Feng Yong smiled and said. Since Jiang Baili joined the Wehrmacht, he has won several large-scale battles, and this time is no exception.

Li Jun thought for a while, nodded and said, "We have already suppressed the frontal battlefield, and it is time for other aspects to take action." ”

"Yes, calculate the time, it should be about the same by now!"

In Shanghai, under the cover of gray fog, a huge fleet of chaotic models appeared on the Bund in Shanghai. In order to hide from Rì's own eyes and ears, the fleet was almost entirely nocturnal. These merchant ships were merchant ships controlled by the Běi Jīngzhèng Fǔ and the Maossen Chamber of Commerce, which were requisitioned by the Zhèng Fǔ and temporarily used as troop carriers. After a few days of sailing, we finally arrived at the Bund Pier in Shanghai.

One small boat after another was lowered from the large merchant ship, and one after another, the small boats full of soldiers quickly approached the shore, and soon a large number of Wehrmacht soldiers gathered in the secret place of the dock.

"Enemy Attack ——!" A shrill jǐng flute sounded on the pier. The soldiers of the Beiyang Army stationed at the pier finally spotted the Wehrmacht soldiers who were going ashore through the boat, and sounded the jǐng flute, and the entire Bund dock was in turmoil.

Concubine ——!

—With a loud bang, the Beiyang military camp was blown up, and a naval fleet of more than a dozen steel ships appeared in the fog, which was the first Chinese fleet escorting merchant ships.

"It's the Wehrmacht's fleet! Evacuate! The general of the Beiyang defenders led his troops to retreat quickly. You know, the barracks they are in are within the navy, and their mission is to fight against steel ships with their flesh and blood.

The retreat of the Beiyang Army made it easy for the Wehrmacht to go ashore. — The navy blue uniform shows the difference between this unit and the Wehrmacht Army soldiers. They were none other than the Wehrmacht's Marine Brigade. At present, there are only more than 5,000 people. But each is jīng sharp.

The Marine Brigade showed great striking power when it came ashore, and with the support of the heavy guns of the warships, the Wehrmacht quickly captured the docks on the Bund in Shanghai and quickly advanced inward.

The whole of Shanghai was shocked by the sound of artillery. You know, Shanghai is the top bustling metropolis in China and even in the entire Far East. China's full-scale civil war did not cause unrest in Shanghai. This is not because the people of Shanghai have much confidence in Shanghai's defense, on the contrary, Shanghai's armed defense is very weak, and the Beiyang Army does not have many troops here, a brigade, less than 5,000 people in full battle, and the armament is incomplete, and the combat effectiveness is very limited. The reason why Shanghai remained quiet and peaceful in the face of the civil war in the whole country was because of the Western concessions that Shanghai was all over the place. After the outbreak of the Western War, the garrison in the concession was reduced a lot, but after all, Western countries have been in China for many years, and their prestige is very deep. Therefore, no one believed that the Wehrmacht would dare to use force in Shanghai at the risk of offending the Western powers. The fact that the world-stream metropolis has to rely on foreign concessions to ensure security has to be said to be the sorrow of the Chinese.

The war on the Bund shook the whole of Shanghai, followed by unparalleled panic. As an international metropolis, Shanghai has a high ratio of foreigners, but the main ones are Chinese, and a large number of them - some people came to Shanghai to avoid military disasters, but I did not expect that even Shanghai could not avoid the war Shanghai citizens - time to pack their bags, of course, not to escape from Shanghai, but to flee into the concession. - At the same time, the population of all the concessions in Shanghai increased backwards, and the three religions and nine streams converged, making the concessions turbulent.

Faced with this situation, the managers of the Western countries in the Shanghai Concession sent a telegram to their ambassadors in Běi Jīng, asking them to protest against the Chinese invasion of Shanghai. It also states that Shanghai is a condominium between China and the West. Refused to allow the Wehrmacht to use force in Shanghai.

This request was rejected by Běi Jīngzhèng Fǔ President Li Wuhongyan. Li Wuhong, with the support of Feng Yong, made an unprecedentedly strong life, declaring that Shanghai is China's territory, that Western countries are only concession land, not the owner of the land of Shanghai, and that Shanghai's sovereignty will always belong to China. And how the squadron acts on its own land is really a Chinese thing, and foreigners have no right to interfere.

This statement shocked the Western ambassadors to China. They finally realized the toughness of China, which cast a shadow on the hearts of Western countries with many interests in China. With China's toughness, there will certainly be a conflict with the West again in the near future over the territorial issue of the concession.

At this time, the envoy secretly appeared in Běi Jīng, and began to contact the envoys of Western countries in China, wanting to connect them and form a ** alliance. Unfortunately, a new situation emerged in the Western War, and the Russians withdrew ahead of schedule, which greatly freed the German team and regained the initiative in the western European theater. Even if the Americans joined the battlefield, they still did not achieve an absolute victory in a short period of time. Britain, France and other countries are preparing to draw troops from the colonies again. If this policy is implemented, the strength of the Western powers in the Far East will be further weakened, not to mention the hostility with a large country in the Far East, such as China, and even small countries will be unable to deal with it. Therefore, although the Western minister to China was tempted by his own proposal, he did not have the strength to do so.
