169 unique note

There are so many people who stay up all night.

In his sleep, Duan Qirui dreamed that when he got up in the morning, it was raining heavily in the sky, so he was awakened by the sound of rain in his dream.

He woke up and put on his clothes. The first thing this military unified lord who has stayed abroad and is highly educated is to "pray for the gods and Buddhas, and I hope the clouds will open and the fog will dissipate."

Because rainy days like last night are not conducive to logistics transportation, especially for the support of combat troops. Although rainy days are even more unfavorable to the attack of the revolutionary army, Duan Qirui believes that the most urgent need of the Beiyang Army, which is shrinking its defense, is to replenish supplies. Whether it is ammunition or food, without these, it is impossible for the troops to fight.

Duan Qirui suddenly had a hunch that today will be the decisive day, and this revolution should be decided from tonight to tomorrow morning. Such an idea makes my heart jump wildly.

Duan Qirui slowly walked to the desk. In front of his eyes, the front line sent back war reports one after another: the contraction of the defense circle of the battalions of the Beiyang Army against Wushengguan, Jiuliguan, Dawu, Guangshui and Xiaochang has been completed and is resisting the guerrilla harassment of the revolutionary army; the battalion head of the third town has defeated the revolutionary army occupying Lidian. In the evening At that time, he turned to the column to pursue from the northeast of Yangzhai; the battalion head of the sixth town occupied Jinjing in the morning, cutting off the retreat of the revolutionary army; part of the revolutionary army was still in Huaxi at noon, and the revolutionary army was expected to try to escape to the northwest; the revolutionary army showed signs of retreating to Anlu.

Duan Qirui was naturally very happy to see the above-mentioned war report. However, at this time, in addition to the battle report of victory on the front line, there were also telegrams urgently needed to be supplemented by the battalions. The railway was damaged by the revolutionary army, but it was difficult for him to transport food, ammunition and other supplies to the front line. If it still rained like last night, it would be even more difficult!

Duan Qi Ruijue felt a little irritable. He turned his head, got up and walked out of the door, looking up at the unfathomable sky in the dark. He pondered: If Feng Guozhang wants to leave, he is still in Hankou, and his heart is unpredictable. With the restoration of Nanjing, the hearts of the people of Shanghai and Ningxia are excited, but the provisional government just established in Nanjing is in a mess and does not have the ability to go to the north, but Li Tiancai's army to assist Hubei has set out. Li madman took a group of crazy people and was crazy to carry out the revolution to the end. The Beijing-Han Railway was completely paralyzed... This problem after another could not be eliminated.

Step by step, he gradually calmed down: "If the trouble in his heart and abdomen has not been eliminated, the disease of the elbow and armpit will inevitably be a danger. An improper action has ruined Yuan Shikai's big plan. His advantage over Feng Guozhang's head will disappear."

A sudden wind blew. Duan Qirui shivered and subconsciously stroked his shoulder. Suddenly, he felt that someone behind him put on a windbreaker for him. Looking back, it turned out to be Xu Shuzheng. He was shocked and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Shuzheng took a step back and said, "The boss's cold wind, the teacher stands outside, be careful not to catch a cold!"

In the barracks, Xu Shuzheng has always called him an adult or a military commander. Only when there is no one will he call him a teacher like this. Duan Qirui suddenly felt that the relationship between the two was much closer, and he was suddenly moved and said quickly, "Can't you sleep? In this case, let's go in and talk."

Duan Qirui walked into the room, took out the gold watch in his arms and looked at it. It was already the beginning of the ugly time. Seeing Xu Shuzheng following the scriptures, he waved his hand and said, "You Zheng, sit down."

"Thank you, teacher." Xu Shuzheng sat down opposite Duan Qirui.

Duan Qirui also ordered people to set up wine and dishes. The two of them ate wine at will while chatting at will.

"You did a bad job. How's it going?" Duan Qirui stood up, scratched a big "Feng" on the table with his fingers dipped in wine, wiped it off again, and asked, "Yunpeng is exercising in Hankou. I don't know what the result is?"

Xu Shuzheng said in his heart that Jin Yunpeng is now the first councilor under Duan Qirui's account, "Hankou has been settled. With Yun Pengjun's talent, there is no reason for failure.

This is also a theory, but how can Xu Shuzheng think about how to eliminate the future trouble of Li Xiang, who is a disaster for the Beijing-Han Railway, but also not arouse the unease of all parties and destroy Yuan Shikai's plan. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't get the point, so I laughed and said, "The general trend has been decided. As long as the north side is more stable, the teacher will immediately move to Hankou and take over the First Army. Although Wu Shengguan was once lost, it was quickly recaptured by the Beiyang Army. Depending on the situation, the bandits are ready to escape to the southwest. With a powerful force to monitor the bandit army of the Jinghan Railway, annihilate its leading part, pursue the bandit army with the main force, and calm down the chaos of the Jinghan Railway.

Xu Shuzheng said it was too easy. Duan Qirui said dissatisfiedly, "If the military supplies can't keep up, you can't take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results."

Xu Shuzheng hurriedly said, "With a powerful force to monitor the bandit army on the Jinghan Railway, annihilate its leading part, pursue the bandit army with the main force, and calm down the chaos of the Jinghan Railway. It is only the established policy formulated according to the above-mentioned battlefield situation. Let's just discuss how to eliminate the crazy gangsters, but also don't make too much trouble.

One sentence made the two of them fall into meditation again.

According to the above battlefield situation, according to "monitor the bandit army of the Jinghan Railway with a powerful force, destroy its front part, chase the bandit army with the main force, and calm the chaos of the Jinghan Railway." The established policy has formulated a combat order to pursue the revolutionary army.

For a long time, Xu Shuzheng got up and paced two steps and said, "Defense is not as good as attack. I have a new battle plan."

Duan Qirui's eyes lit up and leaned against the chair and said, "I'd like to hear more."

Xu Shuzheng said loudly, "I. The Beiyang Army decided to sweep and annihilate the enemy in the circle with a powerful force, and chase the bandit army to Anlu with the main force. 2. The head of the fourth town should chase the bandits near the mouth of Yangzhai River through Li Dian, and cross the Li River in time to continue to pursue the south of Guangshui. 3. The head of the third town should pursue the bandits near Yintan through Guangshui, and continue to pursue the bandits across the Lianhe River to the north of Anlu. He should maintain the encirclement until noon the next day with a part of force. 4. The head of the sixth town battalion quickly entered the Lihe River Valley near North Xiaochang. If the bandit army has entered the river valley, it should be broken immediately. In particular, it should be surrounded by strong troops, and the fourth town battalion head should work together to complete the sweep of the bandits near Anlu. V. The head of the fourth town should start from tonight until tomorrow, sweep and annihilate the bandit army in the encirclement of Anlu, and prepare to pursue near Anlu in the future.

Xu Shuzheng set up an iron barrel array of Jiang's bald head to encircle and suppress Su, Qu Hong and the army. He is worthy of being a Beiyang officer who has accepted the ideas of the German army. How similar the method of dealing with it is.

Duan Qirui shook his head and said, "The Li crazy bandit army withdrew from the battlefield and immediately turned to zero. There is nowhere to circle, nowhere to fight. How to destroy and how to pursue? Moreover, it was difficult to grasp the movements of the bandits for a while. Almost all the whole Hubei people became his eyes and ears, and their every move was controlled by them. The biggest problem is that our front is too long, resulting in insufficient troops. If it fails, it is possible to be surrounded, and it is even more difficult to succeed. This is dangerous. The defense of the north is equally important. Lord Yuan can't arrange all his troops in Hubei. The biggest problem is not to make too much noise and disturb the peace.

"You can't shrink the defense like this. Lord Yuan sees that we are so embarrassed and leaves us with an incompetent influence. He can't suppress it in the future." Xu Shuzheng was arrogant, and it was very disappointing that the plan was rejected. He sat down in a daze. Suddenly, his heart moved and said, "Didn't Sun Chuanfang of Xiaochang take the command of Xiaochang? This boy has courage and ability. He was ordered to break through the front-line bandit position in Huaxi, quickly inserted into the southwest of Anlu, and attacked the defenders of the Anlu bandit party from the side.

Xu Shuzheng made a desperate bet and released the winner to decide the winner in the area east of Anlu. Xu Shuzheng sent Sun Chuanfang's lonely army into Li Xiang's 30,000 army, not without considering the danger. However, Duan Qirui was able to attack 100,000 troops across the two lakes in Huangxing at night in Xiaogan. When the same cooperation force attacked Hankou on the three bridges, he could break into more than 100,000 troops of Li Yuanhong, even in danger. I believe that Sun Chuanfang should also be able to complete his mission.

Duan Qirui finally agreed to Xu Shuzheng's last proposal. He couldn't stand the incompetent image left by Yuan Shikai. He must make a difference. He must suppress Feng Guozhang to death. He also has unspeakable ambitions...

"That's it! However, materials must be extracted from the Xiaogan camp to meet Sun Chuanfang's supplies.

The order quickly reached Sun Chuanfang's hand, and it was not yet dawn. At the same time, he was promoted to the thirty-six standard association, which can be regarded as an official recognition of his status in Xiaochang. What's the good thing about this powerful official who suddenly gives him such a free reward? It's obvious that he is going to work hard.

Sun Chuanfang glanced through her thoughts and shook her head helplessly. The drugs hoarded by Xiaochang were exhausted; there were few ammunition, especially shells left, and she didn't know if they could support the next battle. During the war, food was also consumed very quickly. In order to satisfy their hunger, the soldiers had eaten up everything they could eat around them. The bandit party is working hard to clear the field, and now it is more and more difficult to collect grain in the surrounding mountain villages.

He has sent a lot of people, even combatants, to the rear to transport supplies and medicine, but the situation is extremely unsatisfactory. On the rugged and muddy mountain road, not to mention mules and horses, they even grinned when walking with bare hands on sticks. The Hundred Warriors of the Beiyang Army have completely become soldiers. At best, everyone can only carry back dozens of catties of things, which is a drop in the bucket, which can't meet the needs of high-intensity combat at all. Along the way, we should also be worried and always be on guard against the attack of the enemy's army. Many combatants died in vain outside the battlefield for the rice or ammunition on their backs. What's more hateful is that many officers and soldiers dare not kill and eat their team's horses and steal other troops. Some people even dared to steal his horse. So far, there has been no trace. I'm afraid it has already turned into feces.

On this day, Sun Chuanfang frequently complained to the battalion of Xiaogan, hoping that Duan Qirui, the governor of Huguang of the First Army of Beiyang, would quickly lead the main force to reinforce. But the answer is either "the military battalion is working hard to solve the problem of supply", or "Xiaochang behind your department - Xiaogan railway traffic is threatened by the enemy's powerful troops, and the main force of the military battalion is committed to clearing the flank enemy". Now it is good, but orders him to "break through the front-line bandit position in Huaxi and quickly insert it into Anlu West. In the southern region, attack the Anlu bandit party garrison from the side.

Sun Chuanfang didn't want to seize the strength of the whole battalion and quickly break through the bandit army and defeat the bandit army! But the problem he faces is really tricky. He always has to stuttering, not drive away the enemy, and there is no ammunition and food supplies. What do thousands of people of the whole Xiaochang Beiyang Army take to eat and fight on the front line?

Go to death? Sun Chuanfang is not a fool. She thinks she can take a look at the style first.

In the twilight, a team of people crossed the mountains and galloped across the plains.

Marched overnight, the troops crossed the mountains, selected uninhabited places, and arrived near the official road north of Xiaogan before dawn.

Li wanted to exhale a string of white gas, and his nose was red with cold. He said to the back and said, "Order the troops to rest and stand by in the pine forest on the hillside with their backs to the highway."

"Yes!" The correspondent agreed in a low voice and turned around and ran away.

Li Xiang led Zeng Gao, Song Que, Zhou Wu, and Tang Yuewan, who followed him shamelessly, climbed to the top of a high mountain, lay in the grass and bushes, and carefully observed the enemy on both sides of the official road through binoculars.

The sky was just dawn, and the official road was already full of dust. A batch of horse-drawn carriages and mule carts, and a batch of mule horses on both sides of the roadbed drove in the direction of Xiaochang.

They exchanged glances with each other. Tang Yuewan said first, "It seems that the enemy seizes the opportunity for the weather to improve and transport supplies day and night."

Song Que looked at it for a long time before he whispered, "Marshal, look! There seems to be an enemy garrison on the mountain on both sides of the official road!"

Li wanted to quickly adjust the focal length of the telescope and repeatedly scanned the place where there might be a Beiyang Army. A dirty word burst out: "Fuck, it's true!"

Li Xiang is secretly glad that he did not rush the army to the side of the official road. Otherwise, not only will he not be able to hit the official goal, but his intention will be exposed too early. Just now, he was a little proud. He turned around and saw Tang Yuewan's eyebrows standing up, and his red lips were slightly compared with a spoken language: the exit is dirty! Li's proud smile immediately froze stiff.

Zeng Gao was also a little surprised and immediately said, "How is our vigilance?"

Li wanted to nod and said, "Zhou Wu, go! Inform the troops to send a warning immediately. Other personnel are not allowed to move, smoke, speak loudly, and rest and sleep in place.

"We don't want to smoke any cigarettes captured in Huaxi here." Song said carelessly.

"Less poverty here!" Li wanted to kick it over.

Although the Beiyang Army is unlikely to go deep into this area, in order to be cautious, Li Xiang still gave a stern order. I wanted to attack at dawn, but now I can't. I have to eliminate the enemy on the top of the mountain and destroy the heavy troops on the official road, which requires two attacks at the same time

initiated, but it is difficult to do this in broad daylight.

"Wait for the evening, sharpen the knife and cut the firewood, and let the army refresh yourself." General Li thought about it and was no longer anxious.

For most of the day, he has been observing the enemy.

He found that there were not many garrisons of the Beiyang Army. Like sprinkling beans, there was a team on two or three hills, and there was no decent fortifications, which was completely to cope with the attack of a small group of guerrillas.

Li Xiang discussed the battle plan with Zeng Gao, Zhou Wu and Song Que, and went back to the mountain to sleep.

The sun gradually set in the west, and the officers and soldiers of the army were full of dry food. Battalion and company officers surrounded Marshal Li. With the afterglow of the sunset, Marshal Li used stones and branches to simulate the terrain.

Li Xiang's eyes were sharp: "Each of you led a company, attacked the two mountains on the south and north of the west side of the official road, and then blocked the two ends of the official road with fire to prevent the enemy's heavy troops from escaping. With the help of terrain and trees, you two companies secretly crossed the uninhabited hill, tried to get as close to the official road, and the battle began. Regardless of all the enemy convoys across the official road, he quickly occupied the hills opposite the official road and covered the battle on the official road. My mortar camera supported you; the remaining two companies followed the troops crossing the official road and hit the enemy's mule and horse convoy; I took two platoons of infantry and mortars, heavy machine gun detachments, and sneaked into the officer. On the uninhabited hill on the west side of the road, support you with firepower.

What's the problem?"

When the battalion commanders heard this, they felt that their blood was surging, and they were so excited that they didn't know what to say. In this hidden moment, there is no noise. You can only give an affirmative answer with silence, and your eyes are full of burning flames. The task is very clear, and the understanding of the terrain is no worse than that of the general.

Li Xiang's eyes were even sharper: "Remember, when to start the attack and when to withdraw from the battle, look at my signal. The first signal bomb attack, the second signal bomb evacuation, the first evacuation opposite the official road, and the assembly site is still here."

Li Xiang waved his hand, and the troops began to act separately.

An hour has passed, and two hours have passed. Li Xiang's troops have reached their position. The dew on the grass wet the military uniform, and the cold and nervousness made him tremble. Two batches of mule and horse convoys have passed on the official road. Li Xiang couldn't help it several times and wanted to send a signal, but he also wanted other troops to

Xu is not ready to pick up the enemy, especially when there are enemies on the two hills in the north and south. He needs to be more cautious when approaching. Li wants to force himself to calm down. "Wait a little longer, the attack must be launched at the same time, otherwise one link can't keep up, and all plans will be discounted."

Thirty minutes later, a long string of torches on the north side of Guandao danced like a dragon, winding around, and there were about a hundred mules and horses.

That's it! This is the biggest fish I encountered today. Li wanted to tremble slightly and raised the signal gun, and the mortars and heavy machine gunmen around him were all ready to shoot. The Beiyang enemy convoy did not run fast on the night and bad roads, and it took a while to reach the front of us. Hit half the time! Just halfway through the convoy, a signal flare soared into the air, and suddenly there was a sound of fried bean-like gunfire and gunfire. On the two most worrying hills in the north and south, the flash of the grenade explosion is dense, which shows that the troops there are attacking at close range. After a while, there was also a fierce battle on the hill opposite the official road, and the official road was also successful.

Li wanted to take a long breath and turned his attention to the official.

(Finally, if you are satisfied with it, you will enjoy a red ticket and collect it. The scene will redouble your efforts to repay your support.)
