After retreating from Chengde, Xu Shuzheng had always had a gloomy face. Everyone seemed to owe him eight million. Others also knew that the supervisor was in a bad mood and did not dare to touch his bad luck. Therefore, they were all dejected.
Running hard.
As a veteran of Beiyang, Zhang Huaizhi's status was somewhat different, so he took the initiative to persuade Xu Shuzheng: "Supervisor, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. You don't have to worry about it. Fengjun can be arrogant, but with its well-equipped equipment, we are not prepared. After returning this time,
If you want to strengthen your training and make a comeback, you still have a chance!"
Xu Shuzheng reluctantly nodded: "I have always advocated the development of military industry. Just relying on purchasing weapons will definitely not work, but without a solid foundation, how can we engage in industrial construction. I wanted to enter the northwest and open a new world for Zhiweng.
How could I have known that this situation would lead to such a result? I feel so ashamed of my trust in Zhi Weng!"
Xu Shuzheng was dejected and finally ran to Luanping. After entering the county, he called several division commanders over and said to everyone: "Although it is sixty-five kilometers away from Chengde, Fengjun's planes can fly over at any time to attack.
We are not a place to stay for a long time. We are here to gather the troops temporarily and strengthen the reconnaissance. If the army pursues us, we will retreat to the pass..."
Before Xu Shuzheng could finish his words, his subordinates ran in in a panic, holding a telegram in their hands, their expressions changing.
"Supervisor, Ma Liang called, the Feng army is storming Gubeikou and wants to cut off our way back to the pass!"
"What!" After hearing this, Xu Shuzheng's world was spinning. He snatched the telegram. After looking at it twice, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Fengjun is despicable and shameless. He wants to keep us all outside the customs. We must not let them.
The trick worked!"
Xu Shuzheng said loudly: "Tell Ma Liang that he must stick to Gubeikou, and I will lead my troops to help immediately!"
Zhang Huaizhi, Qu Tongfeng and others also knew that the matter was urgent and did not dare to stay any longer. There were only more than 10,000 troops left with them. The other troops all ran away and did not bother to gather them. Xiao Xu led the troops and quickly
Hurry towards Gubeikou.
"Hurry up. Throw away all the food tents and just bring the artillery." Chen Wenyun shouted loudly. In order to increase the speed, the Beiyang Army abandoned all military supplies. Only the artillery they did not dare to abandon. After all, they
It is clear that Fengjun's main force has strong firepower. If there is not enough artillery, there is no way to compete with Fengjun.
Xu Shuzheng and the others ran wildly all the way. Many of his men and horses quietly dispersed. But they couldn't control it anymore. After running for more than three hours, they finally saw the towering Great Wall at Gubeikou.
Xiao Xu calculated in his mind that only four hours had passed since Ma Liang called the police. Even if Fengjun was a divine general, he would not be able to capture Gubeikou so quickly, so he felt calm in his heart.
If you do a lot, you may be able to give Fengjun a double attack from both inside and outside, and let out the evil spirit in your heart.
Thinking of this, Xu Shuzheng ordered his men to prepare for battle, and at the same time pressed towards Gubeikou. Gradually, the Great Wall stretching among the mountains appeared in front of him. Some black smoke could be faintly seen on the mountain peaks, and there were some on the rocks.
There are no traces of the battle, and nothing else can be seen.
These Beiyang soldiers were also a little confused. Who was still in control of Gubeikou? Where had Fengjun gone? Where had Ma Liang's troops gone?
Xu Shuzheng was full of questions. He hurriedly called a few scouts to see the situation. At this moment, there was an earth-shattering roar from the direction of Gubeikou, and more than a dozen artillery shells were slammed towards them.
The Beiyang army in front was suddenly attacked.
Without any obstruction, each shell set off a rain of blood. Shrapnel fragments and corpse fragments were everywhere. In one round of shelling, more than 200 people were killed. Xu Shuzheng's expression suddenly changed when he saw this.
turned green.
It was obvious that Fengjun had taken Gubeikou, and the scene they least wanted to see finally appeared. Their retreat was cut off, and they became a lone army. They could neither advance nor retreat. This was a desperate situation!
A shadow cast over the hearts of all the Beiyang troops. Zhang Huaizhi rolled his eyes, and then said: "Supervisor, I'm afraid Fengjun's pursuers have already arrived. We must retake Gubeikou, there is still a glimmer of hope, otherwise we will
There is a danger of the whole army being annihilated!"
"What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely correct. Now that we have reached a critical moment of life and death, let the brothers use all their might. Mr. Zhang will be the main frontal attacker, and Mr. Qu and Mr. Chen will cooperate with each other to capture Gubeikou."
"Don't worry, the number of soldiers will not be too large. We will definitely succeed."
As soldiers, we all have a bit of blood. These Beiyang troops were in a desperate situation and were ready to fight to the death. Zhang Huaizhi gathered all the artillery. After counting, Zhang Huaizhi found that there were nearly forty artillery pieces, although there were not as many as the previous ones.
The Fifth Division was large in number. But it was rare to be able to retain so many artillery pieces after a major defeat.
This is also the last pillar of the Beiyang Army. They selected the artillery position and moved all the artillery shells over. Above Gubeikou, Feng Jun was condescending. Jiang Dengxuan could vaguely see the movements of the Beiyang Army. His face showed
He smiled proudly and wanted to compete with artillery. Beiyang was no match at all.
The artillery used by Jiang Dengxuan before this was all seized from Ma Liang. After that guy was bombarded by Feng Jun, he lost his fighting spirit and fled back to the pass crazily with his trusted subordinates, regardless of the safety of Xu Shuzheng and others.
Already.
Fengjun occupied Gubeikou and captured more than a dozen cannons. Jiang Dengxuan temporarily asked Fengjun to hide the heavy artillery equipped by him, and then used these captured artillery to carry out bombardment, creating the illusion that Fengjun's artillery was similar to that of Beiyang, and confusing
Xu Shuzheng.
This tactic really worked. The Beiyang Army boldly and confidently lined up their artillery and bombarded the Feng Army, which caused landslides and rocks to break. It was very spectacular. Zhang Huaizhi also felt a little comfort in his heart. After all, the old Beiyang army had a strong foundation.
, facing Fengjun is not without the strength to fight.
Just when Zhang Huaizhi was feeling somewhat proud, suddenly there was even more intense anger from Gubeikou, and twelve huge artillery shells hit the Beiyang Army's artillery position. These shells seemed to have eyes, and they landed exactly on
They arrived at the artillery position. There was a violent explosion in an instant, and the area within a few hundred meters was enveloped in gunpowder smoke.
Then there were two more rounds of bombardment, and the artillery shells hit the Beiyang Army with a sharp whistle. The surrounding area was instantly in chaos. All the artillerymen were killed. The Krupp cannons were also beaten into parts. There was no sign of life around them.
Already.
Zhang Huaizhi was supervising the battle in front of the enemy. When he saw such a scene, his eyes almost popped out of his head. It was obvious that the power of Fengjun's artillery was far beyond imagination. It was not an order of magnitude compared to the seventy-five artillery pieces they were equipped with.
"Damn it, I was deceived! Let the artillery retreat quickly. Don't let Feng Jun take care of it!"
Fengjun was equipped with heavy artillery and occupied a good location. He was looking for death in a confrontation with Fengjun. Zhang Huaizhi hurriedly asked the artillery to retreat. But it was already too late. Fengjun's artillery had already calculated the position and positioned the artillery position on the left wing.
After destruction, immediately extend to the middle.
A violent explosion sounded. The Beiyang artillery was knocked upside down. These soldiers also woke up, dropped the cannons, and ran away. The artillery shells on the position exploded one after another. The position was completely shrouded in smoke and fire.
, more than two-thirds of the more than forty artillery pieces were lost in one fell swoop.
As these artillery pieces were scrapped, the confidence of Zhang Huaizhi and others was completely shattered. He ran in front of Xu Shuzheng in a panic and said hurriedly: "Supervisor, we can't take it down from Gubeikou. Let's think of other ways quickly.
!”
Xu Shuzheng's face turned green and red. His breathing became rapid. This time he was completely defeated. He was completely defeated. Now he can only try to retain some strength as capital for a comeback in the future.
"Master Zhang, let the brothers retreat immediately. We will go to Luanping first, and then retreat westward into Chahar, which is still our territory. We will return to Beijing via Zhangjiakou!"
Zhang Huaizhi also nodded. There was only one way to survive now. They hurriedly withdrew from Gubeikou and returned the same way. This time they ran even more embarrassingly than before. All the heavy equipment was lost. Some soldiers simply put their guns away.
They were all thrown on the road, like a group of headless flies, running away like crazy.
The only good thing was that the Feng army at Gubeikou did not pursue them, but allowed them to flee. After running for another three to five hours, everyone was exhausted. After counting the men and horses, there were less than 7,000 people left. Xu Shuzheng said:
Feeling bitter in his stomach, he hurriedly fled into Luanping.
"Give the brothers an hour to rest, and then immediately head west into Chahar."
When Xu Shuzheng was giving the order, suddenly the roar of engines sounded in the sky above Luanping County. Fengjun's planes had already arrived. These planes did not attack the Beiyang soldiers. Instead, they circled several times in the air and dropped them.
Countless leaflets fell on the heads of the Beiyang soldiers like snowflakes.
"Only punish the first evildoer, never ask for threats!"
"Put down your weapons and go home safely. If you resist stubbornly, you will die!"
These leaflets all had such slogans. After the Beiyang Army saw it, they couldn't help but feel a little moved. At least Fengjun didn't want to kill everyone. He had a way to survive. Only those who were officials. At this time, who was willing to control them?
Life or death, many Beiyang troops quietly fled Luanping.
The morale of the army was shattered, and Xu Shuzheng had no choice. He plundered some food in Luanping, and with Zhang Huaizhi and others, they escaped from Luanping with 3,000 of their most trusted Beiyang troops. At this time, Fengjun's pursuit troops had already arrived.
.
Zhang Tinglan personally led the main force of the 27th Division and chased Luanping. Zhang Tingshu, Wan Fulin, Wu Kaijie and others all led the troops. They continued to capture prisoners and military supplies along the way. They captured at least more than 15,000
Thousands of defeated troops, all with high morale.
"Brother, Xu Shuzheng is the best at fanning the wind and lighting up will-o'-the-wisps. He is not a good guy. I will lead my troops to hunt him down and make sure I catch this little Zhuge."
"Second Young Master, please don't compete with me for credit. Lao Wan was suppressed and beaten by them and has been holding back his anger. Please give me this opportunity!"
Looking at Wan Fulin and Zhang Tingshu fighting for each other, Zhang Tinglan shook his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Second brother, Brigadier Wan, Xu Shuzheng has been defeated, and all the elite members of the Anhui clique have been lost. It is no longer a worry. Let him escape to Chaha.
Well, we can justifiably pursue him. You just need to chase after him leisurely, and don’t try too hard to ruin the event."
Wan Fulin smiled and touched his bald head, couldn't help but stretched out his thumb, and said with a sudden realization: "It is the commander-in-chief who has thought carefully. A little Zhuge is nothing compared to Chahar!"
Zhang Tinglan temporarily settled the situation in Luanping, but at this time, the Central Plains was completely changed because of this battle.
After Lao Yuan's death, the Beiyang, Zhi and Anhui cliques fought openly and covertly. Duan Qirui's Anhui clique had the upper hand in the early stage. However, the Zhi clique occupied the Yangtze River Basin and guarded the Gongxian arsenal. Its strength was also constantly increasing. Most of Lao Beiyang's main forces
They all fell into the hands of the Zhijun Army, and they had already been eager to push Duan Qirui.
"Commander, what a happy event, what a great happy event!" Wu Peifu took a telegram, walked quickly to Cao Kun, and said with a smile: "Little Zhuge's entire army was wiped out outside the pass, and the so-called participating army is over!"
Cao Kun finally showed a look of surprise and said with a smile: "Hahaha, this Fengjun is so quick to strike. We can't be slow. It's time for the old man to get out." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better.
