Volume 4 The Battle of Unification Chapter 597 The Battle of Zhiwan (II)
Yan Xishan took the young officers of the Jin army as the main force and resisted bravely, and Shang Zhen, the governor of Shanxi Province, issued a notice that the Jin people were autonomous and the Jin people saved the Jin, and the Shanxi people immediately supported the Jin army to join the army or form a self-rescue team. __// For a while, the whole of Shanxi seemed to have become a battlefield, and Zhang Zuolin's idea of a quick victory was not realized. Shanxi under the notice of Yan Xishan cannot be said to be rich, but in the war-torn north, it can be regarded as a land of peace, even if there are bandits, bearded robbers, horse bandits, and bandits, there are not many, and the people are still counted, but the taxes are higher, and many Shanxi people still think that Shanxi is better when they see the endless war outside. Therefore, when it was learned that the Northwest Army invaded Shanxi, in order to keep the family business and prevent the poor Shaanxi Yankees from entering Shanxi, the Jin people rose up to resist, and the whole Shanxi war sounded, and Zhang Zuolin fell into the people's war and suffered unspeakably. Novel chapters
The battle of Zhiwan was not fought, but the Northwest Army and the Jin system fought first, which seemed a bit unexpected, but it was actually tied up by interests. The advantage brought by the Northwest Army's attack on Shanxi was that Zhiwan could fight each other with peace of mind. However, the main battlefield of the battle of Zhiwan was very dramatic, before the war quarreled for more than a year, the two sides grinded their fists, the real battle took only five days to end, the entire battle of Zhiwan killed and wounded only 2,000 people.
The Anhui system formed two routes, the East Route Army and the West Route Army, the East Route Army was directly commanded by Xu Shuzheng, the West Route Army was commanded by Duan Zhigui, and Duan Qirui sat in Tianjin to wait for the chapter
At this time, the direct boss Cao Kun also moved the headquarters headquarters to Handan County, Zhili, and formed a rebel army headquarters with the direct monarchs here, and his generals Wu Peifu, Cao Ying, Cao Rui, Wang Chengbin, Yan Xiangwen, Xiao Yaonan, Peng Shouxin and others issued a telegram to officially use troops against the central government. Cao Kun knew that he was not as good as Wu Peifu in terms of soldiers. So Wu Peifu was appointed as the deputy commander of the rebel army and the commander of the Qianlu army, but he himself did not command the army.
Wu Peifu first enabled Feng Yuxiang and let Feng Yuxiang guard Kaifeng. Prevent Zhang Zuolin from striking back. At the same time, Wu Peifu also divided the army into two routes, in order to show the difference with the Anhui system, they became the front route army and the rear route army respectively, Wu Peifu was the commander-in-chief of the front route army, and personally led the most elite army third division of Cao Zhi to fight with Duan Zhigui West Route Army. The commander of the direct rear route army was served by the direct famous general Wang Chengbin, and he met the most elite East Route Army in Anhui.
In the first two days, the two sides fought several battles, and the direct rear route army was unexpectedly defeated by the Anhui army. The direct family, especially Wu Peifu, thought that the soldiers under his command were strictly disciplined and disciplined and forbidden by law, and they would definitely win the battle, but they didn't think that because Xu Shuzheng's five mixed brigades were defeated in a battle with the Northeast Army a year ago. After going back, the various commanders were angry and tried to be strong, and the Anhui department was ashamed and then bravely retrained the troops, but at this time the direct line was defeated and retreated thirty miles. Wang Chengbin ordered a resistant. One was ambushed on the south bank of a tributary of the Daqing River. Only two planes were dispatched by the Anhui Department to investigate, one of which crashed with mechanical failure shortly after takeoff, and the other plane detected Wang Chengbin's movements and returned to report to Xu Shuzheng.
After Xu Shuzheng learned of this information, he sent the 15th Division of Liu Xun's Army to block Wang Chengbin, and Wang Chengbin's troops had to retreat and fight fiercely. The Eastern Route Army achieved a great victory, and there was a burst of jubilation in Tianjin.
On the third day, Wu Peifu's general Xiao Yaonan led two mixed brigades to the rear army to support. Resisted Xu Shuzheng's five mixed brigades and Liu Xun's 15th Army Division of the East Route Army, and the two sides fought fiercely day and night in the Gaobeidian area. The Anhui army played a triumphant song. Xu Shuzheng was a little carried away. The direct line of Xiao Yao in the south with a mixed brigade stationed in the defense line, the other troops slowly retreated, and counterattacked Liu Xun's 15th Army Division, the two sides fought fiercely in Mahe Village for a morning, the direct artillery fire was sharp, and Liu Xun's department risked being surrounded, Liu Xun himself was almost captured, and returned to Gaobeidian with the assistance of the Anhui Li Ruzhang mixed brigade, and the two sides formed a confrontation situation.
When the fierce battle between the two sides of the East Road of Anhui and Anhui along the Jinghan Railway was in full swing, Wu Peifu personally led the most elite third division, the Henan Army and the Anhui West Route Army to meet, and the leader in the front was actually Zhang Zongchang's Sixth Mixed Brigade, only on the first day, Zhang Zongchang's department was actually beaten back ten miles by the Henan Army composed of 20 battalions of Zhao Wei in Henan because of pity for the feathers. Duan Zhigui was furious when he heard this, removed Zhang Zongchang from the post of brigade commander, and immediately appointed his confidant Hou Zhen as the 6th Mixed Brigade, and at the same time cooperated with the 19th Mixed Brigade to launch a counterattack against his direct family.
Wu Peifu ordered Zhao Qi's Henan Army to hold its position for two days, while he himself personally led Zhang Xizhen's division of the Fifth Brigade of the Third Division to suddenly penetrate the headquarters of the Western Route Army of the Anhui Department overnight. Qu Tongfeng, Duan Zhigui and others never thought that Wu Peifu, who was fighting fiercely on the front line, actually led the army to attack his headquarters in person, and several Anhui generals were sitting around playing mahjong, boasting about what kind of reward you would receive after this big victory in Anhui.
Suddenly, they heard shouts outside, and several generals were frightened enough, and when they heard the guards say that the direct army was coming, everyone panicked. However, Qu Tongfeng was quite experienced, so he immediately changed into a soldier's clothes and ran away. And Duan Zhigui slipped away slowly because of his lack of experience, and the result was that he was Wu Pei
Fu was captured alive and lost face.
When the Anhui East Route Army played a triumphant song, the West Route Army was defeated and defeated, Wu Peifu immediately turned the gun and outflanked the Anhui East Route Army, and Wang Chengwu also reorganized six mixed brigades at this time to counterattack Xu Shuzheng's troops. Outflanked on both sides, and later robbed, especially the Anhui East Route Army, which was captured by Wu Peifu in logistics, had to retreat to Shandong.
By this time, the war had only lasted for five days, and the two-way army of the Anhui system, known as 300,000, was defeated and surrounded all the way, and the elite troops of the Anhui system were either completely lost or fled in despair. Duan Qirui was so angry that he couldn't speak, and took the train back to Beijing, preparing to fight his direct family in the city of Beijing.
At this time, Wang Maoru, who was sitting at the headquarters of the Changchun National Defense Force, was also very conflicted in his heart, and now there were two factions on the left and right, the main battle faction and the main peace faction, which were mainly military personnel, and the main peace faction was dominated by government officials. However, Wang Maoru was more clever than Yuan Shikai in that his control over the army was never relaxed, and anyone in the military who was willing to directly oppose the commander's orders was handed over to the Military Intelligence Department for handling.
The government has formed a mechanism for each party to supervise the appointment of officials, and Wang Maoru can use the party to order the dismissal of officials at any time, after all, there is no official who does not make mistakes. The Chinese are the most devout in the world for being officials, and Wang Maoru has never lacked officials, which also leads officials to need Wang Maoru's support even more. Creating contradictions and troubles for his subordinates, but keeping such troubles within one's own effective range is not a mediocrity of the leader, but a means.
As far as sending troops is concerned, the meaning in the army is very obvious, only war is an opportunity to earn credit, and a group of proud soldiers think that they can fight against foreign countries, let alone other warlord armies, so they have asked horses to step on the world and make meritorious deeds. And because the government politicians hope that the committee will invest a lot of money in the construction, they have also written to hope that it will not be carried out through the customs, and a foreign northeast is already very tight on their finances.
Wang Maoru looked at the Republic of China seriously, turning the river and the sea in his heart, calculating the gains and losses of entering the customs and not entering the customs.
Jiang Fangzhen said worriedly in his heart: "Xiushuai, you don't really want to enter the customs now, right?" ”
Wang Maoru smiled and said: "Raising an army for a thousand days is used for a while, but is it the right time for the following, maybe the most important thing is Japan, Japan." ”
Yong Xingbao smiled: "If there is no Japan, why is it not desirable for the central government?" He is now in the General Staff, more and more familiar, and the experience of studying in European countries has also made his views more radical, the main combat faction of the General Staff was Guo Songling, and now he has become Yongxingbao, which is quite supported by some young staff officers.
Jiang Fangzhen smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know about Xiushuai's concerns, so I firmly oppose staying in the central government at this time." ”
At this time, Li Wenbin, the director of the translation and telecommunications department, hurriedly ran in and saluted: "Handsome, happy event." ”
"What's the joy of?" Wang Maoru asked.
Li Wenbin handed over the note and said, "Please take a look at Xiushuai." ”
The biggest difference between Li Wenbin and Ma Liang is not that his responsibilities are small, but that he is a careful and more cautious person, if Ma Liang would definitely report the news happily, Li Wenbin handed the top-secret news to Wang Maoru, in this detail, Li Wenbin is more careful than Ma Liang. Of course, Ma Liang's loyalty to Wang Maoru is also where Wang Maoru reassures him. In several ways, neither of the two is stronger.
Wang Maoru looked down and saw that it was information from Japan that Australia had actually taken action, forcibly expelled some Japanese nationals, and forcibly recovered state-owned assets, such as oil mines, coal mines, and iron mines.
Seeing the news that Britain, Japan and Australia were fighting, Wang Maoru was overjoyed, patted his thigh and said: "Okay, good, good, now we can get out of the customs." Handing it to Jiang Fangzhen and Yong Xingbao, Yong Xingbao also laughed after reading it, and said, "Okay, the Japanese are in trouble, that's good." But Xiu Shuai, the army must be famous when it comes out. ”
Wang Maoru looked at Jiang Fangzhen again, Jiang Fangzhen thought about it more, and said: "Peiyu is right, only when a teacher is famous, I don't know what the great powers think, especially Japan, Britain and the United States. ”
Wang Maoru said: "We have no contact with the British, and the Americans should have a lot of support for us, but the Japanese, now seeing that the Anhui system is not good, they definitely do not want the pro-British and French direct relatives to come to power." The contradiction between Britain and Japan is so great now, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the Japanese should acquiesce to us and not make trouble now. ”
Yong Xingbao said: "The Japanese are all focused on Australia at this time, otherwise how could the Anhui system be defeated so quickly and so completely?" Xiushuai, I think our name should be to protect the territory and the people, and also to directly subordinate the people to a stable place. ”
Wang Maoru said with a smile: "If you want to protect the territory and the people, you will protect the territory and the people, it's just a banner, but in fact, you still rely on your fists to speak." Then Wang Maoru asked Zhao Zengfu if the Qilin Legion was ready, and Zhao Zengfu immediately replied that he was ready to stand by and could go south to enter the customs at any time.
