Chapter 108 (Part 2)

The history of the Republic of China in one word: "chaos"

This second revolution also had a messy start. Before going to war, the Kuomintang was relatively good at slamming a bucket of shit on its opponent's forehead, at least better than Yuan Shikai. So several influential newspapers, "People's Republic of China"

"Li Bao" took the lead in the campaign, first labeling the Beiyang government as assassinating the Song Dynasty, and then occupied it with all kinds of righteousness.

Yuan Shikai's Beiyang did not show weakness and began to quarrel before starting a fight. The quarrel continued until the end.

In terms of military deployment, the third and fifth towns of Yuan Shikai's direct line were very obedient. After giving orders, Cao Kun and Zhang Yongcheng gathered together for a meeting. Old Yuan's order was to let them attack Xuzhou, but they must not mess with Bengbu. Also

That is to say, to capture Xuzhou, we cannot go south along Jinpu Road, but must take a detour.

This battle was too tiring to fight. Cao Kun and Zhang Yongcheng got together and naturally complained: "What kind of battles are we fighting? There are railways that cannot be used. Even if Xuzhou is captured, will Nanjing be fought? If Nanjing is fought, Bengbu will be defeated."

It’s on Xuzhou’s buttocks.”

Cao Kun is a rough man, and his words are unpleasant, but this principle is correct. As for whether he can defeat the people's army, he did not consider this. The Third Division, which is now well-equipped with soldiers and grains, can deal with a group of rabble, isn't it easy?

Zhang Yongcheng glanced at Wu Peifu, the brigade commander of Xinzha next to Cao Kun. Because of the battle in Zaozhuang, Wu Peifu had gained a reputation. If Wu Peifu hadn't resolutely fought in Zaozhuang and severely shocked the current militia, the militia would have

I am afraid that my forwards will be on the front line in Tai'an. This idiot Cao is lucky. He has Wu Ziyu, a scholar, who is a good fighter.

There was someone in Lu Yongxiang's court. The three newly formed divisions lost one division commander. Cao Kun strongly recommended Wu Peifu to take over. Everyone was happy. Lu Yongxiang was Duan Qirui's man. Cao Kun thought about getting rid of him for more than a day or two.

Something happened.

"Zhongshan, please stop complaining and think about taking Xuzhou first. Zhang Xun and Jiang Guiti can't be counted on. Just ask the president for money, and now you can't even fight with one soldier."

Didn't move." Zhang Yongcheng also had a small thought in his heart. Compared with the fifth division, Zhang Yongcheng felt that he was inferior. Besides, he had made a lot of money in Jinan. Who is willing to fight this battle?

Zhang Yongcheng's birthplace is unknown in history. Maybe it has something to do with his personality.

Cao Kun's nickname is Fool. In fact, anyone who treats him as a fool has no good results. Zhang Yongcheng does not mean to treat him as a fool, but there is something in his words. Of course, Cao Kun understands. He immediately glanced at Wu Peifu beside him and said:

"Ziyu, how do you think this battle will be fought?"

Zhang Yongcheng felt embarrassed, Lao Cao was losing face.

"The humble official thought that as long as he promised to capture Xuzhou and give it to Zhang Xun, he would be able to send troops." Wu Peifu said in one sentence. The two division commanders were dumbfounded. This move is enough. The Beiyang Army will kill and survive, but Xuzhou will be given to Zhang Xun? Carefully.

When I think about it, this trick is indeed effective. It’s hard to say to others, but Zhang Xun will definitely accept this condition.

"Zhong Shan, Hua Shuai (Feng Guozhang) has gone south to take charge, why don't we mention this to him? Then add a question about Jiang Gui, not to mention attacking Bengbu. Defending Xuzhou is definitely possible." Zhang Yongcheng was really moved.

Well, his territory is in Jinan anyway. Who is not given to Xuzhou? Besides, the territory is next to Bengbu, who dares to stay there for too long?

Cao Kun said without hesitation: "What happens after Xuzhou is captured? Leave it to Zhang Xun, can you rest assured?"

Zhang Yongcheng was choked. Yes, Zhang Xun was guarding Xuzhou, and they continued to go south. Who would dare? If the National Defense Forces from Bengbu came to Xuzhou, it would be a question whether the Beiyang Army that marched eastward could come back? Say one thousand to ten thousand,

We have to solve the critical problem of Bengbu first, otherwise we will not feel safe staying in Xuzhou, let alone moving eastward.

……………………

In response to Sun and Huang's second revolution, Yuan Shikai naturally used force to deal with it first. Feng Guozhang, a super thug, naturally wanted to come out. This time he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army and led Wu Xiang frame's troops south to Jinan, together with Cao and Zhang.

Geshi, Zhang Xun, Jiang Guiti's Department

, the total force is as high as 70,000. Well, this number is still a bit watery. Zhang Xun claims 30,000, and Jiang Guiti claims 10,000. According to this number, if you want to pay money, in fact, you will definitely have to give a lot of discounts. For this reason, everyone

We all know, just keep it in your mind and pretend you don’t know.

The people who greeted them at the train station were divided into Xiao Kuai, Zhang Yongcheng and Cao Kun, and Zhang Xun and Jiang Gui. The two in front were better, looking good and in a good mood. The two in the back looked calm.

, feeling uneasy.

"Shaoxuan, who do you think Feng Huafu will take the lead when he comes?" Jiang Guiti is the weakest, so he is naturally worried about being sacrificed. Ever since he fell into the hands of Fang Jianxiong in Bengbu, Jiang Guiti has not been able to do anything until now.

I calmed down and finally pulled up ten more times.

The head of a battalion, known to the outside world as twenty battalions, asked Lao Yuan for 10,000 yuan in salary. Yuan Shikai was also very interesting and gave him 500,000 yuan. Jiang Guiti came out to see him for the sake of the silver yuan. Otherwise, he

With the qualifications, Yuan Shikai would have nothing to do if he didn't come.

"Old Han (Jiang Gui's inscription: Hanqing), whoever's turn it is to take the lead is not your turn. He knows his own affairs. What if Yuan Xiangcheng is willing to pay some blood and risk his life for money?" Zhang Xun said.

Jiang Guiti said that he understood that this guy was thinking about the benefits. As for whether he was serious about it or not, it depends on the benefits.

While everyone was thinking about laughing, the train pulled into the station.

When Jinan was bustling, Bengbu seemed quite calm. When a train came into the station, all the arms got off the train. Civilians waiting at the station swarmed up and began to unload the train.

After Xu Shaojie came back from Beijing, he went directly to Wuhu to hold a military meeting. The one who stayed behind in Bengbu was Huyan Aobo, the deputy commander of the Sixth Division. In fact, Xu Shaojie, who was very good at doing things, did not interfere much in the military affairs of the Sixth Division. Huyan Aobo was reorganizing

At that time, he was appointed deputy division commander and commander of the 11th Brigade, who was the actual controller of the 6th Division.

What came off the train was military supplies. Materials loaded from Pukou came one after another these days. Bengbu is now a large military camp. The 5th, 6th, and 7th divisions of the National Defense Force have gathered in Bengbu, one after another, at the headquarters.

It's located right inside the train station.

Outside the window of the headquarters is the train station. Huyan Aobo looked at the scene of unloading the truck with his binoculars for a while. He looked back and saw that Lin Huaichuan and Li Yifeng were studying the sand table and exchanging opinions from time to time. Huyan Aobo felt very unhappy about this.

All of them are division commanders and have the rank of major general, but he is still a colonel.

Li Yifeng, the major general, Huyan Aobo is still very convinced. He almost lost his life on the west bank of the Ru River. As for Lin Huaichuan, Huyan Aobo is not convinced. Why. Of course, if you are not convinced, you can only keep it in your heart. After meeting Lin Huai

Sichuan, he still saluted obediently. This is what Huyan Aobo didn't want to come forward to mean. In the past, he still regarded himself as an elite, but now that the Fifth Division has been reorganized and its equipment is on par with the Sixth Division, Huyan Aobo has no intention of approaching.

"There are only two regular divisions from the old Beiyang in Jinan. Yuan Shikai really gave the commander face." When Li Yifeng spoke, air-conditioning came from his nostrils. This was a very unpleasant sign. The reorganization of the 7th Division was completed, and the quality of equipment and personnel

When we reached a higher level, we were high-spirited and gearing up to make great achievements. We never thought that what Beiyang had assembled in Jinan was not the main force.

"Don't underestimate it. The Third Division is the elite of the Beiyang Army. In the Battle of Zaozhuang, didn't the People's Army suffer a big loss because they underestimated the enemy?" Lin Huaichuan is still relatively stable. In history, Lin Huaichuan was also unknown and became discouraged early on.

Yi Leng disarmed and returned to the field. In this time and space, he had finally found a place to use himself. The newly formed fifth division was well-equipped and well-organized, and they also wanted to make meritorious deeds.

"Let me see, the commander shouldn't have hesitated and drove directly to Xuzhou, took over the place, and then headed north." Huyan Aobo still came over to talk, but his tone was not so calm.

"I think so. The people's army is just a bunch of rabble. You can't count on it. Don't send guns and artillery to Beiyang when the time comes." Li Yifeng agreed with this view and even joked.

"We now only have three divisions with more than 40,000 people. Beiyang has 70,000 people in Jinan. This battle is not easy to fight." Lin Huaichuan frowned and expressed concern. It was not a good habit to underestimate the enemy. Only when he arrived in Bengbu did he realize that up and down

The smell of underestimating the enemy is very strong.

"Have you heard that the commander-in-chief is coming to Bengbu in person?" Huyan Aobo suddenly lowered his voice and said something. The other two looked at each other, somewhat disbelieving.

"Where did the news come from?" Li Yifeng asked. He was also in the first phase of the teaching team. He was just a crash course, but he was also a direct descendant. The news could not be as good as that of Huyan Aobo.

"Don't ask so much, this is the case anyway. It is said that the commander-in-chief has no confidence in the militia in Xuzhou, and it is estimated that Bengbu will increase its troops." Huyan Aobo pretended to be mysterious, his voice was low, and he felt a little bit confused.

Deyi, a good friend of his in the General Staff wrote to him privately about this matter.

"It looks like it to me. The munitions trains at the station have not been interrupted in the past two days. It's not like three divisions have used up so much munitions." Lin Huaichuan's words somewhat woke up the two of them. Li Yifeng and Hu Yan

They looked at each other, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Huaichuan. This person was not simple, so he got the clues from this.

Just as he was talking, Yang Zui, the guard battalion commander of the 7th Division, rushed in with a gust of wind from outside and said loudly: "Salute! Sirs, I found the commander-in-chief."

"What?" The three of them were stunned for a moment and looked at each other, feeling incredible.

"Tell me, where did you see the commander?" Huyan Aobo was anxious. Fang Jianxiong suddenly came to Bengbu. This is not a good thing. If you see something you shouldn't see, or encounter some accident, you will be in big trouble.

.

"In front of a pub in the city, I was going to buy something when I saw the captain of the guard next to the commander. By the way, there was also a woman who was very handsome, but a little dark." Yang Zui quickly reported, Huyan Aobo

When he heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "It's broken!"
