Chapter 205 Battle of Lin Tingkou 1
After talking about the combat deployment, Zhao Dongyun set his eyes on Chen Guangyuan and then said, "Xiufeng, the situation is tense now, and I don't have much time to manage the third town at the same time, and I have seen your efforts in the past few years. In this way, you can help me manage this third town first!"
After Chen Guangyuan heard this, even if he had been hinted by Zhao Dongyun in advance, he couldn't help but be ecstatic. He had been waiting for the position of the third town for several years. From the day the third town was established, he had been waiting for Zhao Dongyun to hand over the third town to him.
Now his wish for many years has finally come true. Immediately, he suddenly stood up, suppressed his inner ecstasy, and shouted, "The ministry is determined to die as the commander!"
Zhao Dongyun stretched out his hand to suppress it and raised Chen Guangyuan as the control of the third town, which he had planned for a long time. With more and more troops under Zhao Dongyun, he is now busy taking care of the affairs of 50,000 to 60,000 troops, and there are many government affairs in the three eastern provinces for him to deal with, where he has time to be the third town. Control, in fact, in the previous operations, the command of the third town was actually handled by Fang Biyong and other staff members. Zhao Dongyun was just a name.
However, it is not possible to always let the staffs deal with the daily combat affairs of the third town. Sooner or later, Zhao Dongyun will bring up a person to help him control the third town. Now this big enemy is throwing out a third town to strengthen his loyalty to attract Chen Guangyuan.
Then Zhao Dongyun continued: "The leader of the Fifth Association, let Kong Guanbei do it!"
After adjusting the two important positions in the third town, Zhao Dongyun focused on the defense and waited for the arrival of the war!
And the war was faster than everyone thought. Just on the 29th, the capital had not even had time to hold the first founding conference. Duan Qirui's forward troops had already arrived on the edge of Tangshan and made an offensive posture.
In the face of Duan Qirui's striker, Zhao Dongyun is not soft at all. Now he has actually completely torn his face with Wang Yingkai and Duan Qirui. The war has only happened in the past few days. In addition, the first association of Fengtian Second Town and Fengtian First Town, which he has been urgently dispatched from outside the customs in the past few days. And arrived in Tangshan one after another.
So before Zhang Huaizhi and Wang Ruxian's troops go north, he has to start a war as soon as possible to fight first to fight Wang Yingkai's morale and confidence.
"Go on with the order. From now on, you don't have to worry about anything and fight me!" Zhao Dongyun has no moral hobbies, and there is no psychological pressure to fight without declaration!
That night, the full moon outside Lin Tingkou was charming and the light was appraticable, and in the hazy moonlight, only a long black dragon was seen slowly coming from afar.
"Brother Xiushan, the big guys have been holding their anger up and down recently, so this time you will make a fierce gesture to let them know that we are not bullied!" Xu Bangjie looked at the troops advancing in the night and said to Li Chun, the first coordinator of the Second Town of Fengtian Standing Army beside him:
"This time, the commander was going to let Gu Lanyu lead the team to Baodi, but I told the commander that the first association of our second town is closer to Baodi and should let us take the lead, so this is the opportunity!"
Li Chun immediately said: Don't worry about the control. The humble position will never humiliate my second real name!"
"Ye, work hard. Now my Fengjun is expanding its army. There are many opportunities in the future. It's up to you whether you can seize it or not!" After Xu Bangjie said this, he turned around and took the people of the town to leave, leaving Li Chun and other people from Fengtian Third Association.
Li Chun also turned around at this time and looked at his own troops marching in the moonlight. His heart was full of expectations. He needed a victory!
Not only Zhao Dongyun and the whole Fengtian Army need a victory, but Xu Bangjie also needs a victory, and Li Chun needs a victory!
Li Chun, who was also a general of the Huai Army in his early years, then devoted himself to training at a small station under Yuan Shikai's command, thus establishing his position as a direct descendant of Beiyang like other Beiyang executives. From 1902 to 1903, he served in the coaching office, he had a close relationship with Zhao Dongyun, who was the assistant of the coach office of the Beiyang Military and Political Department, when Zhao Dongyun rose. When he was the leader of the Third Mixed Association, he was invited to serve in the Third Mixed Association, so at that time, even if he completely participated in Zhao Dongyun's command, he successively served as the leader and standard in the third town, and then transferred to the third commander of the third association of Fengtian Second Town.
Although the speed of promotion is not full, after the leadership of the association, it is countless times more difficult to go further, because it is not just a small step from the association to the system.
Although he is a senior general, he is not an independent general. Li Chun also has Xu Bangjie on his head.
Only when you become the leader of a town or the leader of the Mixed Association can you really become a general who can be independent. There are actually only a few independent generals in the Soviet system today: Chen Guangyuan, Meng Enyuan, Xu Bangjie and Lin Yongquan. Among them, Lin Yongquan's general status is too low. Basically, the middle and senior officials of the Soviet system know that Zhao Dongyun reuses Lin Yongquan in order to leave a confidant in Jinzhou, not because of how strong his ability is.
That is to say, Lin Yongquan's ability to climb to the position of Fengtian's first town control depends not on his ability and qualifications, but on his loyalty to Zhao Dongyun!
And this method of relying on personal loyalty is actually disgraced by people in the Beiyang system. At least Li Chun looks down on Lin Yongquan. Of course, he will not know that in fact, he is almost this type of person in the eyes of outsiders. If it weren't for the good personal friendship with Zhao Dongyun in those years, he would not There will be many generals, and one of them will be pulled out casually, which is a prominent warlord in later generations, and climbs to the position of leader of the association.
If you count the contemporary Soviet generals, you will find that many of them are famous in later generations, such as Chen Guangyuan, Li Chun, Cao Kuan, He Zonglian, Meng Enyuan, Wu Peifu and Feng Delin, all of whom are well-known warlords.
In addition to these historical celebrities, in fact, there are more talented generals excavated and cultivated by Zhao Dongyun, such as Fang Biyong, Gu Lanyu and Kong Guanbei. Their talents are not inferior to the above people. In recent years, the military talent of a large number of lions who have been recruited to study abroad and return to China is even more than Ordinary general.
Simply to compare who has the most military talents, Zhao Dongyun dares to say the first, and the rest of China absolutely dare not say the second.
It is no easier to rise in the Soviet system, which is full of talents, than in the Beiyang in Yuan Shikai's era!
As a system with military power as the core, relying on combat achievements is naturally the best route for the top, which is also the reason why Li Chun is eager to win.
As for whether this victory came because of sneak attacks, tacitification and so on, Zhao Dongyun didn't care, and Li Chun didn't care.
A few hours later, near dawn, the moon had quietly gone down the mountain, and the whole earth was dark!
"Are you ready for the fifth standard?" Under the dim kerosene lamp, Li Chun put his eyes on Feng Delin.
Feng Delin said, "The fifth standard of the Ministry of Service is ready to launch an attack at any time!"
"Well, that's good. Now that they are ready, don't delay and order the first artillery battalion in the rear to fire on time as planned!" Li Chun looked at the pocket watch in his hand. Now it is five o'clock in the morning. In another half an hour, the sky will begin to light up, and before dawn, his troops will launch an attack!
Time passed little by little by little. In the open space outside a forest in the rear, more than a dozen artillery guns were lined up. A counselor put down his pocket watch in his hand, and then directly ordered: "According to the scheduled Zhuyuan, fire!"
With his order, the firelight suddenly flashed on the artillery position still shrouded in darkness, and the muzzle flame that exploded when more than ten guns fired made the artillery position look dark and bright, like a star in the dark night.
At this time, several sleepy soldiers standing guard in the fourth town in Lintingkou suddenly heard something, as if they were whistles and booed, but the sound was so familiar that they seemed to have heard it there.
However, this idea did not last long, and then a word came to their minds: "Bannon!"
When they came to their senses, they quickly fell down and shouted at the same time!
But even if they don't have to shout loudly, in fact, the soldiers of the fourth town in Lintingkou already knew about the shelling. Why? Because the first round of shells has landed, and the explosion is so loud that if you don't know the shelling, you are either deaf or you have been killed!
In almost an instant, countless soldiers in the fourth town got up in a panic from their sleep, and then they didn't even have time to wear clothes. They picked up guns and ran to the defensive position dug up yesterday in the scolding of the officers.
Although they don't know what's going on, it's not difficult to guess the truth. It's just that Zhao Dongyun or several other Beiyang bosses' armies have come here. No matter who's here, it's always right to pick up the gun for defensive operations.
However, the sudden large-scale shelling still caused great chaos in a sign of the fourth town. Although the sight was not good, Li Chun could still see the enemy soldiers running out of the firelight from the telescope. He immediately said to Feng Delin beside him, "Brother Gecheng, it's up to you next! "
Feng Delin, one of the three great bandits in Liaoxi, completely defected to Zhao Dongyun in the Russo-Japanese War. Now he looks decent in a mid-level officer's uniform. At least he doesn't know that he is a low-level person will never think that he was a bandit in those years.
"The Ministry of Service!" Feng Delin didn't delay much. He soon went out and began to lead his fifth bid to launch an attack!
