Chapter 52: The Prancing Horse Central Plains (8) Wuchang Sunset
Jiang Fangzhen came back soon because Leng Yu, the boy, once again made a new look. He replied: "I want to lead my troops directly into the world to completely annihilate it."
After waiting for Fang Jianxiong to read the telegram, Jiang Fangzhen smiled and said, "The officers below are very enthusiastic about fighting."
Fang Jianxiong pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that there is something wrong with my use of the secret service regiment. Leng Yu reminded me. Forces like the secret service regiment are used to fight the vanguard. They call back and agree to Leng Yu's plan, so that he must arrive at the Jieshou before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning to block Ni Si's escape route. Then order Li Ganyu's troops to set off immediately and launch an attack on Ni Si's troops before dawn tomorrow morning." Fang Jianxiong's series of orders came from the confidence he had created.
Sometimes war is not just as simple as equipment. Although the Anhui Army was formed later and there were not many veterans. However, the soldiers were strictly trained, had a high social status, and were treated well. They had a strong sense of belonging to the Anhui Revolutionary Army group. These were not comparable to the Qing army. They had no worries during wars, and the soldiers dared to fight desperately.
Fang Jianxiong may not understand some of the reasons, but he copied some of the later military's practices, such as enhancing the honor and social status of soldiers, which had an effect that he had never expected.
Jiang Fangzhen did not leave immediately, but asked Duan Feng to go there, leaving him with Jianxiong and said, "This is a telegram from Li Xiaochuan, for you."
Fang Jianxiong took it and looked at it for a moment, then looked thoughtful. Seeing his expression, Jiang Fangzhen showed concern on his face. It seemed that it was not appropriate for the on-site officers to do this with the people from the Intelligence Department. Jiang Fangzhen was a gentleman. He did not cover up or was in a hurry to speak out, and waited for Fang Jianxiong to make a decision.
"You can agree to Li Xiaochuan's request. By the way, I'll call Anqing and ask Li Muyan and Zheng Quan to come." After Fang Jianxiong said that, Jiang Fangzhen didn't quite understand what he meant. This was a bit crooked.
"Nothing happened, right?" Jiang Fangzhen was a little worried. Fang Jianxiong quickly explained: "Brother Baili misunderstood. I just thought of something else. It has nothing to do with Brother Xiaochuan. In fact, I still have to thank Brother Xiaochuan for discovering a talented person who led troops. The Anhui Revolutionary Army has great requirements for senior commanders. At this stage, the mainstream in China is non-commissioned officers who are studying in Japan. These people can learn more about how much they can learn from these people when they come back from Japan. However, Li Xiaochuan has a unique vision and has discovered a Gaosheng. I have always believed that there are some people who are born to fight materials. Perhaps Gaosheng is such a person. He did not show his speciality in the teaching team. On the battlefield, his keenness and ability to grasp the situation will come out."
After this explanation, Jiang Fangzhen was a little surprised. He felt that Fang Jianxiong was good at self-reflection. Just because of such a thing, he thought so far. In fact, Jiang Fangzhen misunderstood. Fang Jianxiong thought of the Military Intelligence Department. Currently, the intelligence department is just such a department, political, economic and military intelligence mixed together. There is no power to check and balance, and it is not a good thing to continue for a long time. Fang Jianxiong had other ideas when he called Zheng Quan and Li Muyan.
As for fighting, it really requires talent. Fang Jianxiong has enough self-knowledge, so he rarely acts like arbitrary in military command. Leng Yu adjusted the tactics according to the actual situation. Fang Jianxiong supported this move. After all, when it comes to tactics, Fang Jianxiong only had one move and one force to subdue ten times. I don’t play tricks with you, and I will crush you with machine guns and cannons.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese tactics were the same and they still fought back. The same Japanese army could only passively be beaten in front of the US military. At its root, the role of modern war strategy has been reduced a lot. But then again, it is useless to say that strategy is useless. Actions like Leng Yu and Gaosheng that are adjusting the battlefield inspiration is worth promoting. Now the Anhui army is equipped with radio, otherwise how can we ask for instructions? We go back and forth for dozens of kilometers, and the yellow vegetables are cold after asking for instructions. Therefore, Fang Jianxiong attaches great importance to communication, which is what it means.
No matter how good the soldiers and equipment are, they still need good generals to implement them. Fang Jianxiong is optimistic about Li Xiaochuan's discovery of Gao Sheng as a general on the battlefield. Gao Sheng's current position is the deputy director of the Intelligence Department. He can go to Bengbu to investigate intelligence in person, which shows his style of doing things. Taking over the position of brigade commander is really nothing in the young Anhui Revolutionary Army.
Perhaps because of the hardship, the Anhui army reinforcements arrived in Hanyang, and the two Anhui army, which had 30,000 troops in two divisions, were no longer as easy to remember as the Beiyang Army. Feng Guozhang stopped attacking, and Hanyang returned to a brief calm.
The victory of the Anhui army in Hanyang triggered a wave of military participation. Many of them were among them, including all over the country. Gui Danqi accepted these students and sent them to Wuhu. After taking an exam, he entered the military academy preparation class to study. Although the military academy has not officially started teaching, these student soldiers still wore the unique military uniforms of the Anhui army. Compared with other local military uniforms, this new look is very handsome and very popular among young people. Some young students have the reason to join the army because of their military uniforms.
According to Fang Jianxiong's instructions, Gui Danqiu was in Hanyang and only accepted these student soldiers. The others did not move, but the expansion of the Hubei military government continued.
After a few days of busyness, the Anhui Army took over the Hanyang battlefield. This is what Fang Jianxiong meant. I could fight my soldiers, but I could not let others command blindly. Li Yuanhong had no room for resistance in this request. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the Anhui Army, the Beiyang Army's cannons would have been placed on Guishan and bombarded Wuchang.
Standing in front of the window of the Governor's Office, Li Yuanhong looked at Guishan from afar, feeling very complicated. On the one hand, he needed the help of the Anhui army to support the Beiyang army, and on the other hand, he was even more worried that the Anhui army would not leave in Hanyang in the future. For the Hubei military government, the importance of the Hanyang factory is not too much.
The combat effectiveness shown by the Anhui army was actually not what Li Yuanhong was most worried about. What made him most uneasy was the outrageous military discipline of the Anhui army. I don’t know how Fang Jianxiong trained his troops, but there was no problem at all. This made Li Yuanhong, who had been sending people to stare at the Anhui army, hoping to find some problems to make a fuss, and to buy the foreshadowing for the Anhui army in the future.
Before this, Li Yuanhong never thought Fang Jianxiong was a too great threat. Now that he saw the combat effectiveness of the Anhui Army, Li Yuanhong clearly realized that perhaps another Yuan Shikai appeared.
Fortunately, it is not me, Li, who should have a headache about Fang Jianxiong now, but the Lord Yuan from Beijing. Fang Jianxiong rushed to the north and beat Yuan Shikai's people. I don't know what Fang Jianxiong thought, but he didn't want the huāhuā world on the Shanghai-Nanjing line, so he had to pick the hard bone in Beiyang.
Mr. Li also had a headache, that is, the governor representative meeting in Shanghai made a statement about a marshal. This was somewhat unscrupulous for Li Yuanhong. What is Huang Xing? How could Mr. Li fall below him? So Mr. Li reacted somehow, saying that this deputy marshal was not virtuous and dared not accept it.
Li Yuanhong calculated Huang Xing's character, and Huang Xing would definitely give in if the news came out. In Li Yuanhong's opinion, Huang Xing was not a smart person, and he was even a little stunned. He was extremely naive in politics and was just like that in military affairs. If he hadn't thought about using his reputation to attract reinforcements, why would he have let him serve as commander-in-chief? As a result, after two battles in Hankou and Hanyang, Huang Xing could not stay alone.
In the government dispute, Li Yuanhong had basically no hope of winning. Compared to Sun, Li Yuanhong's reputation was still a little worse. Li Yuanhong did not expect Sun to have the same personality as Huang Xing, and he took the initiative to give in to the virtuous after a few words. It is estimated that the master is also a person who is the only one who takes the initiative to jump up and down when he was still in Europe.
Compared with these two people, Fang Jianxiong, Yuan Shikai is probably the clearest. In terms of strength, Yuan Shikai, who has mastered the huge resources of Beiyang, is the most powerful. Fang Jianxiong emerged too quickly, and his foundation may be unstable.
Yesterday, British Consul Gerry Fook came forward to mediate, and Beiyang expressed his willingness to take the initiative to truce for several days. Li Yuanhong welcomed this, but whether to continue fighting now, I have to ask another person. The ones who are currently on the front line of the confrontation with Beiyang are all his troops. This person is undoubtedly Fang Jianxiong.
No matter what, Li Yuanhong's attitude is quite clear, and it is best to be able to negotiate. If you want to continue fighting, the Beiyang Army is still very powerful. I don't know what Fang Jianxiong thought, but An Qing's call back has not arrived for a long time.
Li Yuanhong in the twilight watched the last sunset disappear reluctantly, and was in a complicated mood waiting for Fang Jianxiong's call. This current situation where he could not decide his destiny was really uncomfortable. One was that Shanghai was basically determined to lose the battle for dominance of the provisional government, and the other was that the matter of peace talks was decided by Fang Jianxiong.
The footsteps pulled Li Yuanhong back from his reverie. The one who came in was Yang Yulong, Secretary General of the Governor's Office, holding a telegram in his hand: "Governor, Anqing called back, Commander Fang is on the front line of Fuyang, and has transferred the phone to inform him, waiting for resumption!" The signature was Sun Yujun, Governor of Anhui Provincial People's Government and Governor.
Seeing the signatures that were completely different from other provinces, Li Yuanhong was a little puzzled. What did Fang Jianxiong think? He insisted on creating a new name. Everyone else was the governor, so he came to the Anhui Provincial People's Government.
Little did he know that Fang Jianxiong always felt that the so-called governor was the beginning of the country of Wufu and the origin of the separatist situation!
How could Fang Jianxiong, who was thinking about the unity of the country, accept such things? He had to take the right path at the beginning. As for what was correct, Fang Jianxiong was not very clear. Fortunately, there was a template that could be copied. As long as the people's government is elected in the true sense, everything is secondary. The key is the content. No matter how good the name is, it is a scumbag if the content is not good.!~!
