Chapter 42: The Central Plains Deer is Fat (9)

The First Brigade was fighting fiercely on the front line, and Fang Jianxiong, who was far away in Anqing, was in deep suffering. Despite Fang Jianxiong's usually awesome attitude that no one looked down upon, the Anhui First Brigade went to Wuhan and faced off against the Beiyang Army, which is known as this era.

’s strongest army.

At first Fang Jianxiong did not plan to send the main force there, but Han Yan persuaded him and said: "Since the commander-in-chief wants to send troops, he should send the strongest troops. One can test the strength of the Anhui army, and the other can show the world.

, the commander-in-chief has never been biased against the alliance. After the three battles, won't the former alliance members in the army return to their hearts?"

Han Yan's words touched Fang Jianxiong. In this era, fame is what makes a living. How does fame come from it? Hype! This Fang Jianxiong knows it. Even if he doesn't, do people who come from the Internet age still not know about hype? There is no topic, let's

Just create topics. It’s not difficult to be a celebrity in this era! There are many benefits!

Tian Jiyang called to join the battle today and sent a plan. Fang Jianxiong immediately called Jiang Baili, Hamilton and others to come together to study the map on how to fight the battle. A group of people analyzed it and came to the conclusion

It's seven or eight thousand men fighting three or four thousand men, and they have an advantage in everything. How can they be invincible? But Fang Jianxiong still has no peace of mind. In many battles, he doesn't rely solely on equipment. Before, he fought patrol battalions and other soldiers.

This time it was the Beiyang Army, and I had no confidence at all.

Because of this matter, Fang Jianxiong didn't even think carefully about what to do when he called Huyan Aobo from Yangzhou?

Huyan Aobo was very embarrassed about the Yangzhou matter. Fang Jianxiong did not reply for a long time, and he also meant to test this person.

The anxious waiting continued. Fang Jianxiong always stood in front of the map with a solemn expression, smoking and looking at the map. The others were not relaxed either. Jiang Baili kept mumbling to himself without knowing what to say. Zhejiang dialect

It's hard to understand, it seems to be saying "No problem! It must be no problem!"

Hamilton was influenced by Jiang Baili. He also muttered in German: "The results of the deduction should be correct."

Jensen and Paulus, like two giant Buddhas, stood beside Fang Jianxiong. They did not murmur, but their expressions were very serious. Li Xiaochuan, the newly promoted division commander, lay directly on the table with a group of young staff officers:

"Let's deduce it again!"

Zheng Quan and Han Yan could not sit still, but the teacups in their hands had long since gone cold, and they were still holding them like treasures.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door. Fang Jianxiong paused but did not look back. Others turned to look at the door in unison! When Li Muyan, who is also the director of the Telecommunications Department, rushed into the headquarters waving a telegram, everyone's eyes were focused.

"Commander, great victory! Great victory for the first brigade!" Li Muyan took a breath and then shouted with all his strength.

Facing the map, Fang Jianxiong put his hands on the wall and lowered his head for a long time. The headquarters was frozen for a while, and then a group of young staff officers jumped up and cheered enthusiastically. Most of the room was filled with young people.

Especially the staff officers were jumping up and down with excitement.

The older one was more calm, Han Yan slightly stroked his beard and smiled, Zheng Quan put his hands behind his back and looked at the young man and smiled. Jiang Baili was also young, but he was still much calmer, and his eyes turned to Fang Jianxiong. At this moment, Fang Jianxiong was still in front of the map.

He just put his forehead against the wall and clenched his hands tightly.

"God, thief, I let you play with me. How about it, I won the fight!" Fang Jianxiong roared excitedly in his heart. Hearing the victory, the sinister otaku in his previous life shuddered like an electric shock when he had sex.

Everyone in the room became quiet when Fang Jianxiong looked like this. Fang Jianxiong was the one who was under the most pressure in this room. Everyone understood his mood and were waiting for him to recover.

Finally, Fang Jianxiong turned around, pumped his fist excitedly and said: "Okay, the first brigade fought well. Mr. Han, please draft a message to the effect that: when the good news came, the whole army cheered, the first brigade fought with the spirit of the Anhui army."

The spirit of Qi broke the myth that the Beiyang Army was the best in the world. The glorious record of the First Brigade of the Anhui Revolutionary Army will always be remembered in military history."

In fact, it was just a small-scale battle. Fang Jianxiong was so high, and others couldn't agree with it. However, after this battle, Fang Jianxiong's prestige was even more impressive, and the significance of this battle was indeed extraordinary. So no one

say.

"Brother Baili, the reorganization of our army will be accelerated in the future. By the end of the month at the earliest, I will send my troops to fight against Ni Sichong." Fang Jianxiong became more confident. All six towns in Beiyang were defeated, and Ni Sichong was saved.

Jiang Fangzhen was also very excited and said: "The Second Division from Hefei called and the reorganization went very smoothly. The disadvantage is that there are only 30% new recruits. The First Division's left-behind brigade and the Second Division here in Anqing have even more recruits, as many as 40%. From Wuhu,

Fourth, the situation of the Fifth Division is not bad. The original security forces have been added, and the escorts have also undergone strict military training. They should all be able to be dragged out to fight, and they will become serious veterans after seeing blood."

"Beiyang is the big enemy, but we can't fight too hard with Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army. Others will get the advantage. Let's do this. The Anqing 3rd Division will turn to Wuhu, and the 4th and 5th Divisions will immediately start to attack Hefei.

Assemble, time waits for no one, I want to capture the entire territory of Anhui before the formal peace talks between the north and the south. At present, there are many large and small military governments in the territory, it is a mess, the military and political orders must be unified." Fang Jianxiong was full of confidence, and Jiang Fangzhen immediately said:

"I'll go back and get ready."

Li Muyan reminded: "Commander, it's time to talk about this matter in Anqing City."

Fang Jianxiong said: "This matter is not urgent. Let's first see how the government itself is doing."

Anqing was just happy when someone from the communications office came again. They stood at attention at the door and reported: "Commander, there is an urgent call from Hanyang."

Fang Jianxiong exclaimed, "Are the casualties too great?" After taking the telegram and reading it, his expression changed immediately. He raised his hand and handed it to Jiang Fangzhen. He walked around the headquarters. After Jiang Fangzhen read it, he handed it back.

Fang Jianxiong said: "Everyone, take a look."

After all the core personnel read the telegram, the scene fell into silence again. Li Xiaochuan broke the silence with an angry voice: "Shameless!"

Han Yan continued: "Commander, this matter must be treated with caution. Huang Xing is a revolutionary hero, and he and Sun Dapao are close friends."

Fang Jianxiong nodded, thought deeply and said: "Call back the First Brigade and withdraw!"

"Commander, no!" Zheng Quan became anxious and shouted, then stepped forward and said anxiously: "Commander, Wuhan is the place where justice is the most important thing. In the current crisis, if we withdraw like this, I'm afraid the world will criticize us."

In the past, Li Muyan had a rivalry with Zheng Quan, so when he saw this, he sneered: "What's the point of criticism? Is it possible that the First Brigade will be eaten alive? Now things are like this, if the First Brigade stays, they will also be killed.

life."

The last sentence touched Fang Jianxiong's heart, and he immediately decided: "Hanyang will belong to us sooner or later. The bottom line is to retreat to the back first! Let the Beiyang Army teach these ignorant things a lesson."

Zheng Quan stopped persuading and stood aside silently waiting. No one moved, knowing that there must be a follow-up. Sure enough, in less than a moment, Li Yuanhong's telegram came. "Brother Fuguo, all the mistakes are Yuanhong's fault."

, the First Brigade of Anhui cannot withdraw." Then he said a lot of things, all in all, it was Li Yuanhong who took the responsibility, and Li Bodhisattva was not called for nothing.

Li Yuanhong sent this telegram from the bottom of his heart. Originally, there were not many decent troops in Wuchang, and part of the Eighth Town was sent to Sichuan. After the establishment of the military government, the army was organized into 60,000 people. After a few battles, they were able to fight.

Basically all of them have been lost. Or is it the Hunan Army that is taking the lead? The Beiyang Army on the opposite side currently has only more than 30,000 people, and it can suppress Hubei. The only one who can compete with the Beiyang Army head-on and defeat its opponent is Anhui.

reinforcements. Why are you Li Yuanhong willing to let go?

Fang Jianxiong sent someone to call back and said: "Reinforcements from all walks of life have arrived. Whether or not the first brigade is present is of no concern to the overall situation. Moreover, Commander-in-Chief Huang is here. This person can stand up to 100,000 troops."

Li Yuanhong quickly called back and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Commander Huang. It is just what the scum in the Hubei army said privately. Yuanhong will definitely punish him severely to calm the conscience of the First Brigade."

Fang Jianxiong then called back and said: "The First Brigade has withdrawn to Wuchang. There is no further discussion."

There was also a fierce quarrel in Hanyang. Li Yuanhong, Huang Xing, Sun Wu and others got together to discuss how to deal with it. Sun Wu didn't stop and taunted a few words on the side. What a defeat in the past few days. Only the young master of Anhui can defeat Beiyang. For a while, he was defeated.

Forced to run away.

Huang Xing's face turned pale with anger, and he said on the spot that he would give up his choice and go back to Shanghai.

Song Jiaoren, who was also from Hunan, was also there, and he acted as a peacemaker. He advised both parties not to quarrel, and the good old man Ju Zheng was also there to persuade him. In the end, Li Yuanhong took over all the responsibilities, retaining Huang Xing while talking to Fang Jianxiong.

Call to discuss.

Li Yuanhong sent another telegram. This time Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Ju Zheng, Sun Wu and others all signed their names, saying that the Anhui army had excellent combat capabilities and was an indispensable main force in the defense of Wuhan.

After exchanging telegrams for a while, Fang Jianxiong finally relented. The First Brigade did not have to withdraw, but could only be used as a reserve force. He also mocked in the telegram that there were countless battles in ancient and modern times, but it was unheard of that there was no reserve force during the decisive battle. This statement

It was directed at Huang Xing. In the Wuhan defense battle commanded by Commander Huang, there was basically no reserve team. He emphasized: "The best defense is to attack, and the best offense is to attack the enemy's weak points." Finally, he added

He said: Our Anhui army will go north to the Central Plains to attack Ni Sichong and threaten the Beijing-Hankou line.

In the end, although Huang Xing was very reluctant, he still accepted the suggestion of the First Brigade as a reserve force. He also sent his son Huang Yiou to Shanghai to avoid causing trouble by staying. As for Luo Hongsheng, the results were not good either. Hankou counterattacked

In the battle, he was the fastest runner in the group. This time he did the same thing again. Li Yuanhong captured him directly and threw him into prison and locked him up first.

He should be the scapegoat even if he deserves it. (To be continued.)
