The meeting of Xuzhou was successfully concluded. General Feng Yuxiang returned to Zhengzhou by special ranks overnight, but he never took the skin that was full of rusty tankers when he returned.
In the vassal of military music, he shook hands with Commander Jiang affectionately, and then hugged tightly, spilled into the train with tears, and opened his hand frequently at the door of the car, looking deeply.
Commander Jiang, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others returned to the Pengcheng Camp and immediately held a military conference, and finally clarified the next stage of the Northern Expedition:
Lai Shizheng, the 14th Army of the First Army, the second division of General Xiong Shihui, and General Cao Wanshun's 17th Army attacked Rizhao;
Ministry, the 44th Army Ye Kaixin's Ministry attacked Linyi; Xiawei, Xia Wei of the Seventh Army of the Third Road Army, and Wang Tianpei, the Tenth Army Wang Tianpei, attacked the city;
Zaozhuang, the 33rd Army Bai Wenwei Department, temporarily compiled the Eleventh Army Ma Xiangbin to attack Yutai, Jinxiang.
The next day, Commander Jiang left Xuzhou and returned to Nanjing. The first division of the first army Liu Xun, the 14th division of Wei Lihuang, Chen Cheng's 21st division also ordered to quietly evacuate the front line, south to guard Nanjing.
Sending the Commander Jiang, An Yi immediately rushed to General Bai Chongxi and received the order to return to Daxu Town in the east of Xuzhou City. According to the requirements of the combat order, the independent division must occupy the Chefu Mountain position south of Taierzhuang within two days to and General He Yaozu.
The 40th Army will attack Taierzhuang.
The 38 -year -old General He Yaozu graduated from the Japanese Army Corporal School eleven years ago. He is a famous Xiang Army who has rich command experience and tenachered.
It is a real Xiang Army. After the department laid down the county, the main force did not make any stay and then went north. It was distributed in the first line of the south of Taierzhuang to build the position, and the third army of the Cheng Guorui of the Zhilu Army.
Then, then
He Yaozu is difficult to attack the offensive, while defending the enemy is worried that the easily dispatch will be broken by other troops from the revolutionary army on the left and right sides. Therefore, the two sides rarely confront them for three days and three nights without a decent battle.
An Yi ’s independent division quickly opened the front line of Chefu Mountain at 3 pm the next day. As soon as the artillery camp entered the position, he launched a tentative shell to defend the enemy on the west across the Grand Canal.
Three regiments have entered the position, built trenches, and prepared for battle. Ding Zhicheng's special team has already detoured the west side of Taierzhuang to conduct reconnaissance behind the enemy.
An Yi rushed to the Houzhuang Village Headquarters, accompanied by the deputy Shen Fengdao and the Guard, and reported to General He Yaozu respectfully, asking for instructions humblely.
He Yaozu and several deputy hands were very happy to see An Yi's arrival. They said that he did not expect that An Yi came so fast, and as soon as he arrived, he gave the enemy a horse.
After asking An Yi some situations, He Yaozu took Anyi to the highland on the left to observe the enemy's defense position, and told An Yi in detail the situation of the enemy forces in detail:
"The third army of Zhang Zongchang opposite, the eleventh army was a little abnormal. After the shelling with our department three days ago, he never fired anymore. It seems that the enemy is not interested in fighting a tough battle with us.
Looking at this Grand Canal, and the enemy's alertness is very tight, it is difficult for us to sneak out what information we can have. If I guess it is good, as long as the crickets in the east are won by my friend, they are afraid they will escape. "
"The junior is also estimated."
An Yi said with a smile: "Zhang Zongchang was very reluctant to help Sun Chuanfang fight this battle. According to the analysis of the two battles in the previous two battles, many troops in Zhang Zongchang joined the Wu Peifu.
There is no fighting spirit.
Our opposite us, Cheng Guorui and Wang Hanming were born in Feng Department. During the war, they fought with Zhang Zongchang with Sun Chuanfang. They used to be a dead end of the enemy. Therefore, juniors believe that they are likely to save their strengths.
Take the initiative to attack, otherwise they should fight fiercely with their predecessors on the first day. "
He Yaozu laughed at An Yi appreciated: "The analysis is very thorough, it seems that you have worked hard on it."
"The independent division of the juniors just came out and had to be careful everywhere." An Yi answered with a smile.
He Yaozu thought about asking: "So, what do you think of our next step?"
An Yi smiled, and whispered: "There is an idea of juniors to ask the seniors to be positive. If the two armies of our two armies were sent to a fourth company at the same time, and they used artillery to make correction tests from time to time.
Some reaction. "
He Yaozu's eyes lighted up, and said happily: "It really is a wise general! I listen to you all, haha!"
Half an hour later, a large -scale cutting tree began on the revolutionary army position on the south bank of the canal to build a pontoon. From the back of the two divisions and independent divisions of the Forty Army, one or two shells were fired from time to time.
As far as possible to the shooting point of the river bank, the tension before the seven or eight locations of the four -kilometer long river section began.
Back to his position An Yi, walked through the firepower and construction points, joking with the officers and soldiers while walking. The veterans are familiar with An Yi's habit.
Delay, the newly joined brother saw his teacher wearing a scholar's official uniform, and the two straps on his chest were connected to a wide belt.
The guards around them were exactly the same, surprising the recruits. Especially when I saw the brother around him and An Yi said so casually, I felt incredible.
It's easy to make a lot of trouble.
Two war horses ran quickly to An Yi and stopped.
It was reported by General Feng He. "
Huang Yan, who was in his thirties immediately, saluted Anyi: "Report the general, the captain order will bring you a sentence, please drink in Zhuangzi in the north at 7 pm.
Come. ""
"Thank you! Tell His predecessors to go on time." An Yi returned a gift with a spring breeze.
"Subcer!"
Lieutenant Colonel Le Tau was flying away.
An Yi ordered the commander to notify Yin Jinan and others, took out the telescope to look at Taierzhuang on the north bank, haha, and said loudly, "Brothers, work hard, put the bridge comfortably to Taierzhuang for dinner."
There were cheers on the battlefield, scaring away the enemy without fighting, which made the officers and soldiers very proud.
At eight o'clock in the evening, when An Yi and his party toasted with He Yaozu and other generals and had a pleasant conversation, Tancheng to the east was fighting fiercely. Sun Chuanfang's two troops who had been insisting on holding Tancheng successfully resisted the continuous attacks of the four divisions of the First Route Army.
indivual
The army finally collapsed, and news of the fall of Taierzhuang reached Tancheng. The enemy generals were shocked. Fearing that the Northern Expeditionary Army in the direction of Taierzhuang would turn around and cut off their retreat to the east, they immediately made the decision to retreat at full speed and retreat to Linyi to defend.
Deng Zhenquan's 1st Division and Gu Zhutong's 3rd Division rushed to help replace Ye Kaixin's 44th Army, which had withdrawn two divisions from Nanjing. The morale of the 44th Army was greatly boosted. Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, they launched a fierce attack and achieved the result of wiping out more than 1,400 enemies.
person, seized
A large amount of baggage was obtained. General Ye Kaixin's command post took advantage of the victory and pursued Sun Chuanfang's four divisions for more than 20 kilometers before giving up. They captured countless people along the way and the results were brilliant. They brought back more than 900 prisoners alone.
Ye Kaixin returned to Tancheng and met with Gu Zhu and others, only to learn that He Yaozu and An Yi's troops had suddenly captured Taierzhuang without any bloodshed. He Yaozu's second division had also moved forward to camp in Nigou Town in the northwest, directly threatening the enemy defenders in Yishan.
, causing the enemy to panic.
"Tsk, tsk, it's probably Xiaoyi's independent division that moved to the front line in Taierzhuang and scared away the enemies who were deeply afraid of him." Ye Kaixin said with a smile.
Deng Zhenquan nodded in agreement: "An Yi is a great guy, full of clever ideas. He just replied to our telegram by saying that the three divisions had just cut down trees and had not had time to build a bridge, and the defenders fled. A few of us were slightly
After some analysis, it turned out that the defender must have been frightened by An Yi's arrival.
From the battle in Zhejiang to the Battle of Xuzhou in the previous period, none of the Zhilu Allied Forces and Sun Chuanfang Anhui Army who faced An Yi could escape his plan. The enemy troops did not fight when they heard about the model camp or An Yi's name.
Cowardly, this guy has definitely made his reputation known."
Gu Zhutong said happily: "As soon as he came, the battle line that we had been in a stalemate for several days immediately changed. Their breakthrough in the middle made it much easier for us to fight on the left and right. It is estimated that at this time tomorrow, the three armies will all achieve good results."
Progress. Unfortunately, An Yi Division is still under the jurisdiction of the Second Route Army. If it can be close to us and attack Linyi together, it may have a greater effect on the entire front."
Ye Kaixin said helplessly: "I guess it's because Xiaoyi is highly appreciated by Commander Bai, but I don't think it's a big problem. Aren't we neighbors with him all the way? There will be many opportunities in the future."
"I hope so." Gu Zhutong shook his head and walked towards the map.
Suqian, Second Route Army Headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Bai Chongxi stood in front of the large map and looked at it again and again, and laughed in a low voice: "I gave An Yi two days to rush to the battlefield, but I didn't expect that he only took one day, and he easily captured two Zhilu troops.
The battle at Taierzhuang, which was guarded by the army, was really unexpected."
"This kid can always do something unexpected. It's said that he is lucky. Every victory he has is real, but he can get the greatest results at the lowest cost. It's incredible."
Pan Yizhi sighed, and Zhang Dingfan beside him also laughed.
Bai Chongxi turned around slowly: "You two can't say that he is lucky, but you should see that it is his ability. Even though An Yi is always smiling at a young age, he knows how to use psychological warfare better than anyone else. You can say that he
He is more scheming and calculating than many generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. He has made sufficient preparations before the battle and has put in far more effort.
Far more than any of our troops, so he has many ways to lure his opponents to reveal their flaws. As long as he sees the opportunity, he will launch violent strikes again and again. Usually, his opponents cannot resist him even once or twice, so he can often
By fighting more with less and still achieving a good record, An Yi is becoming more and more mature now."
"What task are you going to give him next?" Zhang Dingfan asked.
Bai Chongxi shook his head: "If you're not busy, let him rest in Taierzhuang for a day or two, and then make good use of him after seeing the battle situation on all sides."
