279 Let go

279 Let go (Part 1)

The misty rain is like the depths of Lushan Mountain.

The 106th Regiment held a meeting of battalion commanders in the Fenghuangzui Regiment Department.

Guo Fuchen first said: "Considering that the 106th Regiment must operate quickly and quickly in the mountains, the division instructed that our regiment should be changed to a pack-horse formation, and the 52nd mountain artillery battalion under the direct jurisdiction of the division should be assigned to the 106th regiment. In addition, Cao Ge, the general's chief intelligence officer, sent our regiment to assist in command. Everyone is welcome.

A very inconspicuous passer-by stood up. In this way, he put a drop of water in the crowd. Cao Ge saluted the applause and sat down again.

"Lao Cao is a low-key person." Guo Fuchen smiled and said, "This in-depth and roundabout battle depends on "qi" and "fast"..."

In the future after receiving the army, Guo Fuchen quietly gradually turned the main force of the regiment from the front of Ma Huiling to the northwest to gather, leaving only about 2,000 people, including one infantry battalion and one cavalry battalion, on the confrontation line of Ma Huiling, as the main force.

At the meeting, Guo Fuchen highlighted the points that should be paid special attention to. "Whether this battle is successful or not, the first is whether we can hide our actions against the enemy. Officers and soldiers must be wary of the success of the breakthrough. When operating at night, they must be during the day

To be fully prepared, ... it is absolutely forbidden to use a flashlight. If you move troops stationed during the day at night, you are absolutely not allowed to operate during the day. Second, it depends on whether the action is fast. Before reaching the combat target, if you encounter an enemy position, you should not use too many troops in one place. You should do everything you can to use the terrain to move quickly

Roundabout, if the troops have no choice but to attack, they can use poison gas appropriately to prepare for expanding the results of the war.

Then, the Chief of Staff of the regiment explained in detail the operational scenarios and the route of each unit, and made clear regulations on the number of weapons and rations carried by officers and soldiers.

"In this battle, in order to break into the enemy's front without rear combat, the grain and ammunition are carried by the principle of self-team carrying behavior. Officers and soldiers must be as light as possible and try to carry more ammunition. Each person carries rations for 6 days, but during the battle, it is generally rationed at 2/3, which can last for 9 days..."

A platoon leader asked for instructions, "What to do with the existing injured patients..."

Guo Fuchen didn't wait for the chief of staff to reply, but he said harshly, "In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the regiment, the wounded and sick patients should not rely on the health team or the field hospital. The mildly ill must walk with the team, and the difficulties encountered on the way will be overcome with mental strength. The commanders of each unit must make the officers and soldiers of the team know that those who fall behind will be captured by the enemy.

The group meeting was shrouded in a murderous atmosphere.

Guo Fuchen then issued a combat order: "With the main force, the regiment broke through the enemy position near Wutailing within 10 days, entered the southwest of De'an, and attacked the area around De'an from its back."

At dusk, the 106th regiment held the medal, and the horse wrapped its hooves and rushed south through the twilight.

This expedition, no matter from which aspect, this operation was unexpected by the Beiyang army and was a complete surprise attack. Yang Fan suddenly became a strange soldier, which can be called vicious, and the timing is also on the right time. As soon as this move came out, it immediately disrupted the established steps of the Beiyang army's counterattack on Ruiwu Road.

On the day of the battle between Qilin Peak and the Blood Mountain, a large gap was formed between Nanxun and Ruiwu. The powerful part of the Beiyang Army was transferred to Ruiwu Road, which has been detected by enemy aircraft.

Therefore, this void intrusion can avoid the disadvantage of frontal attack and save the danger of the 27th Regiment. Therefore, its 106th regiment wrapped in 6-day grain and rushed westward with light load.

......

In the early morning, just after a night's march, Guo Fuchen, who was secretly celebrating its mysterious actions, suddenly encountered the search team of the 4th Army near Zhufang Gui.

Guo Fuchen was angry and annoyed when he received the report. In just one night, the surprise attack became public. Fortunately, the other party was a search team.

Guo Fuchen immediately ordered: "To defeat the enemy with a small force, the main force of our regiment will rush forward as planned and must not stay."

......

It's been raining all month in Beijing, and the streets are full of mud.

On this day, the fog dissipated, and the sycamore trees in the streets and alleys are showing new green, which is pleasing to the eyes. Under the clear sky, the Army Department of the Beiyang Government looks quite dignified. Although the gray door is not very tall, it is majestic and solemn.

The "celebration banquet" hosted by Duan Qirui, the commander-in-chief of the army, is being held here in his private house next to the War Department. The military and political officials of the Beiyang Army gathered together and were waiting to raise their glasses to drink.

When Yuan Shikai was "ordaired" at the beginning of Xuantong, he generously gave Duan Qirui a private house in Fuxue Hutong worth 300,000 yuan. From then on, Duan Qirui has lived in this house and opened a side door in the house to connect with the corridor of the Military Supply Department of the Army Department, which is often in and out of this door. Recently, the old Beiyang people who were idle in the Army Department gathered together.

Since Yuan Shikai quickly promoted his son Yuan Keding's private, because of the defeat of the Jiangxi war, the old Beiyang people led by Duan Qirui are like festivals, and the most active is Wang Zhanyuan.

Wang Zhanyuan said with a red face, "... Give up the military power. I don't care. Sun Chuanfang is my old subordinate for many years. It's just that the war on the Nanxun Line has just begun, and the military power has been cut off in such an unclear way. How can I confess to the Chinese people and my subordinates? For several years, I have been a strong support for suppressing "bandits". Where is my face today?

With a sense of resentment, Wang Zhanyuan handed over the command power, and after explaining his troops and the military affairs of the rear, he went straight back to Beijing to ask for a military judgment.

Wang Zhanyuan returned to Beijing day and night. Every time he recalled this matter, he felt unfair and always worried about it.

"The dismissal in disguise is a shameful thing for me, and it is also the saddest and most regrettable thing for me in Beiyang for so many years. ... The retreat near Jiujiang, I was determined according to the situation of the enemy in front of my army. Unfortunately, the president mistakenly thought that I had saved the strength of the 4th Division. In fact, I not only have no private opinion on the battle of Jiujiang, that is, in the course of all the battles of all sizes during the Anti-Japanese War, I was conscientiously thinking about the interests of the country and never mixed the idea of private interests. Of course, the 4th Division has a long historical relationship with me. When I was far away from the station, I was the first officer. When guiding the operation, any troops under my command only sought how to deploy to achieve the task, and never measured my deep and shallow relationship with other troops to preserve my strength. After the Battle of Jiujiang, without a detailed investigation, he was dismissed in disguise with the order of 'Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhan Yuan was immediately transferred back'. I don't feel sorry for the position, but I am a senior commander, which is a disgrace to my dignity and embarrassment. Because I asked myself about my conscience and had no guilt, I asked for a military court trial when I returned to Beijing. ......”

"To take a step back: the president was super punished at that time, and he really didn't think about it. If I have germanium, I should

It was handled by my superior, but the president did not find out, nor did he receive a report from my superiors, so he crossed the level to interfere, which is his common problem..."

After that, because Duan Qirui took responsibility for Wang Zhanyuan, he said that Jiujiang's retreat was his order.

Yuan Shikai had no choice but to scold Duan Qirui for a few words. Wang Zhanyuan was exempted from the pain of military law investigation.

Jiujiang is lost. A disturbance has only come to an end. But Wang Zhanyuan also left an indelible shadow in his heart.

Yuan Shikai finally arrived and just heard the end. He was so angry that his face turned pale and scolded him severely, but the banquet ended hastily, and everyone dispersed unhappily.

General Zhangwu "His Highness" Duan Zhigui just left the banquet hall, and Jiang Baili stopped him: "Your Highness, go to the president. The president summoned.

Duan Zhigui rushed to Zhongnanhai and saw that Sun Chuanfang, who was on the front line of Nanxun, was also there. He frowned slightly.

"Tell me the situation. Let everyone know what's going on." Yuan Shikai explained to Sun Chuanfang and went to see the map.

Sun Chuanfang briefly talked about the process of finding Guo Fuchen, and then said, "After the enemy Guo Fuchen's group suddenly disappeared from Ma Huiling, I always had a hunchry that my old classmate's old opponent Yang Fan was playing tricks. Although Guo Fuchen's brigade has encountered sporadic resistance, it has never been noticed by me because of its good concealment. When I received the report, I was shocked. I can't believe it..."

Duan Zhigui, who had just left the front line of Nanchang and returned to Beijing, before getting on the plane, he suddenly heard that the 106th Regiment was out of contact with the defenders. He didn't know where he was going, so he couldn't help muttering. But until then, he did not realize that the banditry was a rare and murderous move in the history of World War I. When he returned to Beijing and Yuan Shikai asked about the situation of the war, his answer was still: all lines were calm and everything was normal. He didn't know that the bandit had punched him.

At this moment, when Duan Zhigui heard the news, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, as excited as a deer in his heart.

Yuan Shikai has been calculating and thinking in front of the largest wall chart of the command department, and finally smiled on his thin face covered with dark clouds. The opportunity was waxing to him again. The madman Li sent Guo Fuchen's fat meat up to see if he had the courage to bite down fiercely.

Duan Zhigui looked at the big arrow that had circled the back of De'an on the map and sighed, "Good boy, "bandit army" these guys have a big appetite and want to wrap more than 100,000 of my horses in it. I think they are crazy. How dare they send the 106th Regiment alone into our army.

"The subordinates of the madman Li are also crazy people!" Sun Chuanfang gritted her teeth and said, and then turned to Yuan Shikai: "President, the spirit of the enemy Guo Fuchen's 106th regiment is very strong. It has rushed to the depth of the front line of our Baiyun Mountain. Our regiment intends to dispatch a large army to annihilate the protruding enemy to go to the rear."

Sun Chuanfang was young and courageous. At the time of fighting and retreating in all battlefields in Jiangxi, he resolutely made up his mind to annihilate a whole regiment of the National Revolutionary Army 106. When Beiyang stock is plummeting, he wants to rise against the trend!

Yuan Shikai thought about it and finally made up his mind. Even if it's the bait, I'll take a bite first.

"The morale of the senior generals is not high, and their actions are cowardly, which makes the troops timid." Yuan Shikai began to speak: We are generally senior generals who do not pay attention to the study of strategy and tactics. In wartime, we are afraid of the enemy like a tiger and have a despicable mentality of maintaining strength... This is the main reason for the defeat.

Yuan Shikai confided his dissatisfaction with his son with Duan Qirui, and did not shy away from Sun Chuanfang, that is, he also attracted Sun Chuanfang as a confidant.

While speaking, Yuan Shikai's eyes did not leave the big red arrow that had circled behind De'an on the map on the flip chart for a moment. This thick red arrow is so dazzling against the blue defense lines of the Beiyang army, left and right. It is so arrogant and unruly, as if he is a arrogant and domineering Li madman, proudly waxing to challenge him with his head.

At this time, a new message from Chief of Staff Jiang Baili pulled him back from meditation.

According to Lei Zhenchun's report, the 4th officers and soldiers went forward and succeeded in blocking the bandits and leaving the enemy bandits in the Wanjialing area regardless of casualties. After the bandits were exposed, they did not retreat without knowing the difficulties, so they stopped, as if they had something to..."

After hearing this, Yuan Shikai frowned slightly and asked, "The exact situation of the enemy on this road is clear

?"

"It has been found that the road is the 104th Infantry Regiment of the Guards led by Guo Fuchen, and the 28th Cavalry Battalion and Artillery of the 2nd Division, with about 6,000 people."

Yuan Shikai said "Uh-huh, um" twice, stood up, and walked two steps in the room. The generals

's eyes were focused on him at this time.

The air in the room was dull for a while.

In a short time, Yuan Shikai stood upright, stood on the chair, and glanced at the ring table with burning eyes

The sitting generals finally fell on Duan Zhigui and asked slowly:

"Zhigui, what do you think? Talk about it. Let's talk about it.

Duan Zhigui was not in a hurry to make a statement. As soon as the old man opened his mouth, his "Your Highness" knew that "Your Majesty" would take charge in person again this time. He is too familiar with Lao Yuan's habit. As soon as he comes to the bone, he appears in the Supreme Minister's Department, and it is likely that he will inexplicably make a unit of yours go. Hey, there is no doubt that Lao Yuan will understand this.

At this time, Duan Zhigui was very envious of Zhang Xunlai.

I think Zhang Xun led his troops south to attack Nanjing. Before leaving, Zhang Xun, who knew that Yuan Shikai had this habit, did not forget to ask Yuan Shikai:

"Gong Bao asked me to fight Nanjing this time. Can you let me go of the battle without interfering in the front-line command?"

Yuan Shikai asked Zhang Xun for help at this time. In addition, Nanjing's mess was not easy to clean up, so he blushed and said with a smile, "Don't interfere, don't interfere, you can do it yourself!"

It is the president's habit to point fingers and feet, and the suspicion of the generals is getting deeper and deeper. Naturally, he will not let go of this opportunity to intervene. What's more, Sun Chuanfang called Beijing... Before the battle was fought, Duan Zhigui had a sense of ominous.

At this time, seeing Yuan Shikai staring at him and asking, Duan Zhigui thought for a moment and turned to Yuan Shikai and said

said:

"The 'bandit army' still takes the old path of big circuitous attack. It is the same in the southwest battlefield, and the same in the battlefield of the Central Plains. It is still the same in the battlefield of southern Jiangxi. The Xingzi landing and the Hukou landing are not the same, but whether the circuitous circle is big or small, two mountains, and the big circuitous two provinces.

With this assertion, the "bandit army" found my attack attempt and deliberately set this bait, which seemed to be too early.

But in any case, the situation has not changed much from a big point of view. Guo Fuchen's 6,000 people shrinking Wanjialing is still in my encirclement situation. You can consider launching an attack and encirclement and annihilation.

"Madman Li dares to bet, and I dare to let go. With determination, I make a decision, redeploy, grasp the fighter, and eat the aggressive "bandit army." Yuan Shikai's bare head nodded frequently and encouraged the generals.

At this time, the generals let go a lot and began to talk about it.

At this time, Yuan Shikai remembered Sun Chuanfang, the protagonist of this scene.

"Yuan Fang, you are in front of you. What do you think?"

Sun Chuanfang stood up, and Yuan Shikai quickly said, "Sitting down and talk, sit down and talk."

"President, I agree with Chief Duan. Since Guo Fuchen dared to break into the depths of the Lushan Mountain, and the labor expedition was sent to his door, I also dared to open the Cairo net and accept all of them. Since the "bandit army" dared to set up such a rare formation in the history of war, it obviously did not pay attention to our army. If you don't return the color, how can you suppress its arrogance? My regiment has been fully prepared for a few days, and we will wait for the president to rule.

Sun Chuanfang said passionately with some official words of Shandong Lunan flavor.

"Okay, okay." Yuan Shikai swept the crowd and said firmly, "Now,

The war situation in Jiangxi is getting clear. The command department has decided to launch the Wanjialing Campaign to eliminate the prominent and aggressive enemy 104th Regiment in the Wanjialing area in one fell swoop. General Li Chun broke Li Liejun at the mouth of the lake on the same day. I believe that General Sun Chuanfang can also have the glorious move of breaking the mouth of the lake on that day in this war zone today, and completely annihilate the elite reinforcement regiment of the guard army of Li Madman.

Yuan Shikai's face was full of red light, his emotions were excited, and his straight uniform was shining with Venus.

Whenever he attends military meetings, he attaches great importance to his speech and manners, appearance, and he knows that this is a good opportunity to set an example for his subordinates.

Seeing that the generals in the meeting were in high spirits, he was also quite infected. At this time, he wanted to light a fire and ignite the generals to eliminate the "bandit army" more vigorously. He changed his words and asked

said: "Do you know about the 'agrarian revolution' of this madman Li?"

The generals were stunned for a moment.

In fact, Li Xiang's "earth revolution" in Hubei District is already "infamous", and everyone here knows more or less about it. It's just that Yuan Shikai suddenly asked at this time. Everyone was puzzled, and no one was willing to speak rashly.

Seeing that no one opened his mouth, Yuan Shikai waved his hand and said viciously, "The 'earth revolution' made by Li Madman is the people's livelihood of Sun Dapao. However, Sun Cannon just let go of his mouth. He is much more hateful than Sun Cannon. He really dares to do it! He is the most demagogue of the people and is very good at earning the sympathy of public opinion... It is better to say that he is a soldier than a conspirators and a political clown. If such a guy is not eliminated today, he will still do something in the future. I heard that some Westerners call him 'Napoleon of the East'. I don't care whether he is from the East or the West. Today, I want you to eliminate his 'Napoleon'.

Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth, and the table banged loudly. He hated it in his heart. Killing a Song Jiaoren, but a Li Xiang who is much more sinister than Song Jiaoren, playing politics, he can't beat the Kuomintang. Moreover, Li wants to be more dangerous than Song Jiaoren. Li wants to have a gun in his hand.

Yuan Shikai is dedicated to eliminating the madman Li. In addition to being a little nervous and excited, he is in a particularly good mood. He believes that he will win this victory. Complete the reversal of the Nanxun line.
