173 ambiguity

The clouds flew across, the moon shadow was bleak, and the pines and cypresses of Hesse made a low sound of waves, like a group of hell demons clapping their hands and laughing in the dark. Duan Qirui paused in the big camp courtyard and thought about the increasingly complicated situation in Hubei. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

After the heavy troops were sent in the morning, they were safe and sound, and then the Xiaogan battalion immediately sent more and larger heavy troops, and the Xiaogan battalion restored a peaceful atmosphere with no war. But with such abnormal peace, Duan Qirui's heart is even more anxious and unknown.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" in the northwest of the camp shocked him, and an ominous sign came to his mind.

Listening to the sound, it seemed to be in the official direction of Xiaochang. With his many years of battlefield experience, he immediately recognized that it was the sound of cannon, and it was a 75mm retreat pipe run by Krbur! Today's transportation of supplies to Xiaochang is the key to completing the plan to eliminate the madman Li formulated with Xu Shuzheng last night. You can't be careless.

Since the talk last night, Duan Qirui has always felt a sense of uneasiness, worrying that one day an accident will suddenly happen to him. His enemies are not only the madman Li, but also the interior of Beiyang. Feng Guozhang is still staring at Hankou, hoping that he will make mistakes. Will Wang Shizhen, who seems to have a detached position, have good intentions? He knew very well that once something happened in Hubei, he must be the first to take the brunt.

Especially tonight, his feeling is even stronger.

Now the battlefield opened by the Jinghan line is really long, and the emptiness of the troops is exposed to the madman Li. This time, Sun Chuanfang was ordered to kill Anlu and the bandit's nest of the madman of Li. In fact, he was also in danger of winning, because he could not do nothing in Hubei. He was not forced to shrink his defense by a group of bandits. In this way, he could not explain to Yuan Shikai, and he could not grasp the seal of the governor of Huguang who had just arrived. The materials shipped to Xiaochang this time have taken out 70% or 80% of the reserves of Xiaogan Camp. His future and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Beiyang can be saved today in my last blog of Duan Qirui. He feels that he is big.

All these thoughts turned around like lightning in Duan Qirui's mind. He suddenly turned around and quickly walked into the room and grabbed the phone on the table: "Star Officer, I'm Duan Qirui! Send someone out immediately to find out what's going on with the explosion outside!"

Putting down the phone, Duan Qirui sighed gently and thought to himself: I don't think that the madman Li will have such well-in-hesense news. He did it so boldly and did it so quickly, and it was not too far from Xiaogan.

The telegram to Yuan Shikai last night appeared in front of us again.

"The enemy used all kinds of strange soldiers this time to attack our rear military station and destroy railways and railway bridges. The enemy banditry was guerrillas everywhere. The reconnaissance information was accurate and timely, and the action was rapid, which made us lose contact up and down. The command intention could not be issued. The troops had no leader. In case of circumstances, they did not want to fight. They blindly retreated and completely lost their combat effectiveness. The crime is that Lu Jianzhang's intelligence is so weak that we made such a mistake this time. Fortunately, at present, large bandit groups have collapsed and have little collective power. Even if they fight with small troops, there is no danger. This is a good time to actively fight..."

Haikou has boasted, what else can he do? When everything is done, he has to praise this Haikou. If you have a swollen face, you have to pretend to be fat.

Remembering that he had wine with Xu Shuzheng last night, he smiled 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 too easily. At that time, he said dissatisfiedly, "If you can't keep up with the military supplies, 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."

I also remembered the war report from a war zone: the front line sent back the war report one after another: the battalions of the Beiyang Army have completed the contraction of the defense circle of Wushengguan, Jiuliguan, Dawu, Guangshui and Xiaochang, and is resisting the guerrilla harassment of the revolutionary army; the battalion head of the third town has defeated the revolutionary army that occupied Lidian, from Yangzhaidong in the evening. The north turned into a column to pursue; the battalion head of the sixth town occupied the Jinjing in the morning, cutting off the retreat of the revolutionary army; a 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...

Thinking of this, Duan Qirui felt more at ease. Rather than being down-to-earth, it was more a kind of self-reliance. I hope that Li Madman would begin to retreat after the victory of the first battle as the war newspaper said. It was hoped that it was only a small group of revolutionary army guerrillas who ambush the nearby...

Suddenly, Duan Qirui woke up from meditation with two "bang and bang" sounds. Looking at the drooping night outside the window, a mass of fire burned from the sky. The fierce battle came to his ears with the wind, and his heart sank into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Fuck Li crazy, he really bullied me!

"Touch!" With a sound, the messenger rushed in in panic: "Military unification, it's the shelling of the bandit army! In addition, it is reported that the bandits crossed the railway, and the heavy and escort troops were all besieged.

Duan Qirui was in a hurry and didn't know what to do. He thought for a moment and thought it would be better to call

first.

Xu Shuzheng quickly went back to the camp and immediately grabbed the phone on the table: "Hey! I want to pick up Xu Shuzheng.

"Is it Zheng again? I'm Duan Qirui. The madman Li took action, right! I just got the news that Li Madman shelled the official and Taoist heavy troops, and the heavy troops have been besieged on the official road..."

Listening to the other end of the phone, the angry Duan Qirui was already in a mess. Xu Shuzheng immediately said in a low voice, "Teacher, calm down. You are the backbone of us. Don't mess around at this time. You gather the team first, and I'll come right away. Before the matter is clear, don't casually send troops out to the battalion to rescue. I'm afraid it's a trap, but it's an ambush by the enemy.

After saying that, I took the phone.

Duan Qirui put down the phone and hurriedly shouted, "The messenger, pass my order. The battalions will gather immediately and wait for the order."

He lit a cigarette and took two quick sips. The nicotine stimulated the nerves and his mind calmed down a little.

Xu Shuzheng hurried out of the car. On the side of the ruins of Xiaogan, the Xingyuan where Duan Qirui is located is elegant and rich. Three steps and one post, five steps and one whistle along the way, and the guard is strict, which only aggravates Xu Shuzheng's inner uneasiness.

Entering the brightly lit room, a group of Beiyang Army officials such as Fu Liangzuo, Qu Tongfeng and Wu Guangxin were all surrounded. Qi Qi turned their heads and looked at Xu Shuzheng who came in. Although he was unhappy to look at Xu Shuzheng, he had to turn to his wisdom.

"How's it going?" Xu Shuzheng didn't wait for the other party to speak and asked first.

Fu Liangzuo shouted directly at Xu Shuzheng and said reluctantly, "Just now, I heard a loud noise in the northwest of the camp at about 10:30, and the situation is unknown. Not long after, the bandit army fired several cannons in the direction of the official road to Xiaochang in the northwest, and the heavy troops had fallen into a heavy siege.

"What's the news about the Huaxi Bandit Army?" Xu Shuzheng thought for a moment and asked.

Qu Tongfeng flattened his mouth and said very irresponsibly, "I haven't received any notice in the afternoon."

"What!?" Xu Shuzheng turned around and said nothing more. He realized that the situation he probably didn't want to see was there. They have been unable to care about their negligence.

Madman Li really picked a good time.

Duan Qirui has never felt powerless to attack his whole body. Now the long strength of the Beijing-Han line is empty. What's more terrible is the tight spell of the "ceasefire agreement". When did Duan Qirui, who rushed out of the rain of bullets, fight such a battle and experienced this situation? What's more, his opponent is still an extremely ferocious and well-prepared Li madman. As long as the stable situation in Hubei is out of control, whether he wins or loses, he has to get out of here with his tail. Duan Qirui felt like he had been pushed into a boat in the wild waves and could be destroyed at any time.

"Military unification! Let's go to Hankou to rent a visit to the ministers of various countries, visit the consul of Ge Fu, and ask for a joint mediation! Foreigners will never watch the madman Li tear up the Armistice Agreement, which is a provocation to the Chiguoguo of the great powers in this mediation!" Fu Liangzuo was furious and roared. In his consciousness, as long as he is a foreigner, everyone has to listen and listen carefully!

Xu Shuzheng sneered repeatedly: "Crazy Li, he is crazy! He fired at the foreign fleet and would be afraid of foreigners! You are afraid of foreigners. You think that Chinese people all over the world are afraid of foreigners!"

Fu Liangzuo blushed and said a sentence after a long time: "The madman Li bullies people too much. Military, let's fight!" Send troops out to rescue immediately!"

Xu Shuzheng snorted coldly and didn't need words to disdain.

Wu Guangxin patted the table: "The Nan brothers lost their masters and humiliated their prestige. The military unification must be applied!"

"There is no mourning teacher yet--" Xu Shuzheng sneered with his voice, and a group of people knew to shirk their responsibilities in case of trouble.

Qu Tongfeng, Wu Guangxin and Fu Liangzuo, stared at Xu Shuzheng fiercely, patted the table and said, "That's more than half of the materials of our filial piety. Now we are surrounded by the madman Li. Military, we must come up with a way!" Is it aid or not?

Fu Liangzuo gradually became angry and scolded, "The madman Li is too cunning to fight with my Beiyang army. He hid the army in the mountains, specially beat the buttocks of my Beiyang army, and copied the food of my Beiyang army. Crazy Li, fucking coins!"

Annoyance comes from anger, helplessness comes from helplessness.

Duan Qirui has the intention to pursue and annihilate the Li Madman's army, which has been evacuated to the mountains to relieve his worries. However, the mountains with layers of obstacles, are really apprehising. In this dangerous mountain battle, there are many casualties and long time. It is still unknown whether he can annihilate the army of Li. Regardless of him, he is determined to move forward, and tens of thousands of troops can eat, drink, spread, ammunition and materials, all rely on the rear transportation line. The Beiyang Army's operations in Hubei are all carried out along the Beijing-Han traffic. Isn't it just to use ready-made railways and highways to ensure smooth supply? Wars from ancient times to the present are traffic wars and supply wars. No matter how powerful the army is, once it loses supplies, it will become a piece of soft tofu.

The Beiyang Army went south to Hubei and had to move forward all the way, leaving the necessary garrison at various points in the rear all the way. Multiple garrisons and scattered troops are really a big taboo for soldiers. If you don't do that, what can you do? The aggressive Beiyang army, because of the gradual division of troops, the attack momentum of the striker gradually decreased. After occupying Hankou, it was actually unable to advance again.

All this is because a madman Li inserted into history, otherwise the Beiyang Army would not have such troubles.

Xu Shuzheng knocked on the table and said, "Wu Shengguan-Xiaochang-Xiaogan's military station line is about hundreds of kilometers. In order to ensure this military station line, especially to prevent the attack of the enemy of Li Madman in Dabie Mountain, it is necessary to draw a considerable number of troops from the front-line attack troops of Xiaogan and Hankou. About half of the battalion head of the Beiyang Army served as the guard along the station, so the attacking force was insufficient. The Jinghan traffic line is the weak point of our Beiyang army. Naturally, the army of Li Crazy will not let go. The spearhead of the counterattack is first pointed to our rear. Li Madman's intuition on the battlefield is keen, and the ingenious combat deployment is admirable!"

"I admire him!" Fu Liangzuo scolded, "Now Lord Yuan's side is pressing too hard, military unification, we have to reply... We must pull out a posture to master the overall situation, otherwise we can't explain!"

Qu Tongfeng shook his head and nated puzzled: "What is the intention of the madman Li? With their mud legs, in the book, can they really expect to knock us down? What the hell are they going to do?

In Duan Qirui's row, the officers and staff were in a chaotic voice. From a series of bad news from the Beijing-Han Railway last night, the literature and electricity everywhere were like snowflakes towards the Beiyang camp in Xiaogan, with a magnificent atmosphere and aggressive Duan Juntong, the governor of Hubei.

The previous war was smooth and smooth. Once a crazy Li's Jinghan railway line was crazy and disrupted, it was found that Beiyang's deployment was full of holes. The three customs in northern Hubei have completely shrunk to the three customs, but only guarded the lonely Wusheng Pass, Jiuli Pass and the three bases of Pingnan Pass, and almost completely gave up the defense of the Beijing-Han railway line in the south of Sanguan. The traffic of the Beijing-Han Railway has been completely cut off! Xiaogan and Hankou were almost unprepared to fight a big war, not to mention that these tens of thousands of troops were almost exhausted in Hubei for several months. The reserve of ammunition and military uniforms is paid for less than a month. The most convenient supply on the waterway has been completely cut off after the Beiyang Marine Division's anti-water, Sazhen ice hanging seal, and the fall of Nanjing has been completely cut off.

Duan Qirui clenched his fist and sat on the chair. Without the support of the public case, he felt dizzy and was about to fall down.

What's more important is that the pressure is all on Duan Qirui's head, and behind it, it involves the inexplicable power disputes of the Beiyang system, as well as Yuan Shikai's painstaking plan to steal the country. Once you are not careful. It was his lifelong achievements of Duan Qirui, and the power that he worked hard in the Beiyang group could only fall apart!

The voice below is still chaotic, and there is a growing trend. Duan Qirui's forehead was blue and blue veins jumped, and finally finally shouted unbearably, "Enough!"

The voice is so loud. The whole room was startled. When it comes to the status of Duan Qirui, he should be more or less considerate, talk and laugh, be graceful, and be generous. He roared like this, which immediately made everyone silent.

Duan Qirui pressed his forehead extremely tiredly and turned his eyes to Xu Shuzheng. But I was disappointed to see that the student who relied on the think tank was also at a loss.

Xu Shuzheng shook his head at the teacher: "Military unification, you can't..."

Duan Qirui whispered, "But the current trend... Liang Zuo, you lead the troops to support. Be careful all the way. Don't step into the trap of the madman Li again. Safety comes first!"

"Ping!" Fu Liangzuo Yingnuo left the table reluctantly. How dangerous it is outside now, he beats in his heart. Now the whole people in Hubei seem to have become the eyes and ears of the madman Li and the accomplice of the madman Li. Usually, if the small Beiyang army goes out of the big camp to collect all the materials they need, it is basically that there is no return...

Duan Qirui looked at the reluctant Fu Liangzuo going out, smiled bitterly and said, "The trend in Hubei can't kill us, but Lord Yuan didn't explain it well. We are really doomsday!"

He straightened his eyebrows and just looked at Xu Shuzheng.

Everyone also looked at Xu Shuzheng speechlessly, and the room was quiet.

Find a beautiful excuse to perfunctory Yuan Shikai and cover up this matter. They can still hold Beiyang's rice bowl and eat delicious and spicy food.

Looking at everyone's eyes focused. Xu Shuzheng didn't know where to start. As a commander, do you not hesitate to fall into the well in order to wash away your mistakes? As Wu Guangxin patted the table and said, "The Nan brothers lost their masters and humiliated their prestige, and the army must apply for it!" In this way, if the Beiyang officers and soldiers who died on the battlefield had a spirit in heaven, they would not forgive themselves who tarnished their reputation.

Xu Shuzheng said with a pale face, "Although the head of the Nan brothers are also composed of soldiers from six towns in Beiyang, the Beiyang Army has become the first powerful legion in China, while the head of the Nan brothers has become the first weak legion in China."

Duan Qirui gritted his teeth and nodded. In order to shirk his responsibilities, he actually ignored the fact that he had killed the Nan brothers, but blamed the Nan brothers for their weak combat effectiveness.

Xu Shuzheng continued: "After the main force of the third town entered the north area of Lidian, it began a general attack, occupied the mountain position in turn, and finally re-occupied Li Dian, which was captured by the bandits. In the future, although the main force of our army will continue to attack, it is difficult to attack the enemy positions built with danger. It continued until this morning to capture the main part of the position, cross the railway, defeat the enemy, and continue to go south. The main force of the sixth town first defeated the enemy behind Xiaochang, and then entered the Anlu area. I'm ready to start this morning to attack the enemy position in Dabie Mountain. It was not until the evening that part of the key points were occupied, and the front was in a state of stalemate. I'm going to attack again, and I will definitely break through the tenacious enemy's positions one by one..."

This is a report to Yuan Shikai in Beijing, which is so full of ambiguity that it gives people the illusion that although it is difficult for the Beiyang Army to encircle and suppress the madman Li, it has always grasped the initiative of the overall situation...
