234 is too late

Anlu, the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.

In front of the wall chart, Li Dashuai's thin body shook a few times. At this time, he finally figured out that the intention of the Beiyang Army was to withdraw from Hubei. The news was finally confirmed, and Duan Qirui has sent a diplomatic note to the foreign consul in Hankou.

The attackers were forced to retreat, and the attackers began to pursue. The situation of the battle of Xinhai Yangxia changed dramatically on this day.

But it was too late for Li Xiang to take advantage of the victory, and most of the Beiyang Army has crossed three bridges and entered into filial piety. The Beiyang army retreated to the north in an orderly manner, and the fortresses that must be passed along the way were heavily guarded. It is reported that more and more Beiyang troops have appeared outside Guangshui City guarded by Li Xiping...

At this time, his hot brain was disturbed by another dry fire, and he began to feel cold all over.

Li Dashuai hurriedly ordered Zeng Gao, Lin Tiechang and Zhou Wu to study countermeasures. Since the attempt of the Beiyang Army has been exposed, it is obvious that defending Guangshui is tantamount to fighting a decisive battle with the Beiyang army in front of Wusheng Pass, which is tantamount to causing a self-immolation. Fighting to the death with the revolutionary army is not what the Beiyang army wanted. The advantage of the revolutionary army is to take advantage of the eagerness of the good masses to eliminate the living forces of the Beiyang Army in the travel movement. And didn't Xu Shuzheng try his best to find an opportunity to fight against the revolutionary army?

Marshal Li can no longer give the Beiyang army a chance to fight a decisive battle. There is no longer a legendary way to break through like Huangcun. He said, "If Li Xiping Division in Guangshui City is entangled and eaten by the Beiyang Army, what kind of revolution will I take?" Even this war is likely to be reversed again!"

Everyone agreed: "What the marshal said is very true."

So as Marshal Li paced, he urgently gave a telegram to Li Xiping:

Li Xiping, Commander of the Guangshui Theater Command: The Military Commission ordered our department to avoid the decisive battle, withdraw from Guangshui, and quickly break through.

......

"The enemy has retreated! Retired!"

The news of the withdrawal of the Beiyang army from Hankou went away, and the soldiers and civilians of Anlu City cheered in unison and went straight to Han.

At night, Li Xiang, Zeng Gao and the housekeeper ran to the street. There were all the lights on the street, and the parade with lanterns filled the alleys, just like a swimming dragon. The children carried a colorful lantern in each hand and played through the sea of people.

The retreat of the Beiyang Army was indeed unexpected, but it was taken for granted.

The successive blows of these days have caused heavy losses to the Beiyang Army. Not only have the two mixed associations, but also nearly half of the military supplies, most of the cavalry have been annihilated, and nearly 7,000 soldiers have been damaged. This is a loss that has not been lost in the attack. In addition, the Jinghan supply line has been broken, which is no different from suicide.

Li Xiangzheng guessed that the Beiyang Army would retreat and made a plan to chase with a fast horse, but he didn't expect that the other party would retreat overnight. In the blink of an eye, he had launched Hankou, and he retreated perfectly and retreated flawlessly. After the intelligence was confirmed, it was too late to block it.

Walking on the street, there was joy all over the street, but Li Xiang's face was uncertain. Li Xiang was really unwilling to watch the Beiyang army leave Hubei in such a swagger. Zeng Gao's hand reached over and grabbed him on the shoulder. Although he was a little depressed, he definitely said, "We must not ask all the revolutionary soldiers to take risks for us on impulse."

Li Xiang dodged Zeng Gao's claws like an electric shock, smiled bitterly like a discouraged ball, and nodded helplessly.

Generally speaking, the enemy retreats without chaos, and his military strength is several times that of himself. In this way, even if he can achieve the final victory, he will suffer heavy losses.

Originally, she was emotionally infected by Li Xiang, and the unhappy housekeeper followed them. Seeing Li Xiang's appearance, she couldn't help smiling like a spring breeze.

Li Xiang and Zeng Gao were bored on the street, but finally hid in a pub and drank. They haven't relaxed like this for a long time. The aftermath is naturally handled by Huang Guangzhong, Lin Tiechang and others. For two lazy people, it is rare to steal half a day's leisure. Because they know that after tonight, they will no longer have time to steal.

In the Great Revolution in 1911, the great cause of the revolution has dawned, but when a democratic republic will be realized is far away...

Seeing that success was in sight, when the Beiyang army that invaded Hubei was destroyed, I suddenly found that the success was a failure, which was the most sad.

After drinking two sips of wine, Li Xiang glanced at Zeng Gao and said, "You have always been a bad drinker. Why didn't you refuse every time I persuaded you to drink after arriving at Hankou with me? Moreover, I even learned to smoke.

Zeng was stunned for a long time. Thinking of the years of blood and fire on this revolutionary road in Hankou, he smiled bitterly and said, "One of the benefits of wine is to make people forget the ruthless reality and indulge in sleep. Unfortunately, no matter how much wine I drink, I am still awake in this cruel reality. On the battlefield, I have to die every day. If I don't drink and smoke, I'm afraid I'll go crazy. Maybe the marshal will laugh at me for being a sentimental person. Ha, when will the road of the revolutionary army come to an end? How many more comrades' blood do you have to shed to succeed?

Li wanted to pick up the wine pot, poured more than ten mouthfuls, and let the corners of his mouth sip, and the wine flowers were wet. Then he gasped hurriedly and said, "I decided to throw everything aside, and immediately rushed to Nanjing and Shanghai to disturb the peace. Whoever prevents me will be killed!"

Tang Shaoyi's delegation took the Dongting number to Shenjiang. They all knew that the conclusions of the two were also surprisingly similar. They both believed that Yuan Shikai won the North-South negotiations!

Zeng Gao shook his head and said, "This is just a strategy. Doesn't the marshal often say that the army is plotting? The upper policy is for me to go to Shenjiang alone, and the marshal pretends to cooperate sincerely with Yuan Shikai. People in the north and the south dare not be polite to me. I will see if I can do what I can do, and if I can't do it, I will not. We still need to accumulate strength and wait for the second revolution that is bound to happen! Marshal, at present, it is better to establish an extremely new national defense force as the first priority to deal with the great difficulties in the future!"

A piercing cold wind blew into the restaurant, making the lamp shake, and more than a dozen empty tables suddenly light and dark, adding a feeling of loneliness and coldness.

Although the streets are full of joy and crazy songs, the city people who celebrate victory are like two isolated worlds in this restaurant.

Zeng Gao's eardrum was faintly painfully by the huge "hose long live" sound. The day's celebration and night's carnival not only did not make him excited at all, but on the contrary, there was a wisp of bitterness and melancholy.

"People are too impulsive!" He muttered to himself. The former central institution that led the war was extremely worried about the dangerous factors in the development trend of the Revolutionary War. Of course, these potential disadvantages cannot be known to the public, but the decision-making level of the military department is always worried. For example, the development of the North-South peace conference and its prediction of a bad ending...

Li Xiang can't agree: "The strong civilization of the Chinese nation has been suppressed for more than 260 years. It's time for this proud bloodline to be released... If it doesn't break out in silence, it will perish in silence!"

With the end of the battle in Hubei, Li Xiang's propaganda report on the "Hubei Victory" by the revolutionary army quickly spread all over the country. Subsequently, almost all the major positions of major newspapers across the country were occupied by the news of victory.

In fact, since Li Xiang vowed to "carceive the revolution to the end", the news of the battle in Hubei has continuously spread to Hankou and Shanghai. After the propaganda of the Democratic Party's radio and newspapers, it has attracted the attention of the Chinese people.

Now that the Beiyang army has just retreated from Hankou, Li Xiang's revolutionary army is eager to report the victory to the people of the whole country in the People's Daily:

"... The Beiyang Army is divided into two routes, divided into the Beiyang First Army and the Beiyang Second Army. It attacked Hubei. It was fierce. I lured the enemy deep and attacked it near the Jinghan Railway Line. The enemy suffered heavy casualties and fled to the north..."

Things have reached this point. As the second person of the League and the great revolutionary that the whole country looks forward to, Huang Xing must say something. Soon, dignitaries from all walks of life, led by Huang Xing, sent congratulatory messages to the Hubei war zone.

Huang Xing's message: "... In this battle of Hubei, more than half of the enemies were annihilated, and the good news came. The whole country was excited. It was a good command, and the soldiers used their lives, and there was no obligation to encourage. All the meritorious personnel in this battle, hope to effectively find out and evaluate the report, their dead and injured officers and soldiers, and should be investigated and reported. With the merits, the foundation of the victory has been laid, and I will be the responsibility of the soldiers. The heavier it is, I hope to encourage my troops, be extra cautious, work hard, don't be arrogant, don't slack off, just use great encouragement, and look forward to it.

The telegram of the Provisional National Government of Nanjing: "Li Xiangxunjian: This time the invasion of Hubei, the situation of the relationship is serious. The officer has a good command. He is loyal and brave, annihilates the stubborn enemy, and guarantees the whole Hubei. The good news comes, and the whole country should be happy. He should immediately send a telegram to comfort, and pass on the command, and work hard..."

The message of the National Assembly in Nanjing: "I know all the telegrams. Your department peeped at this good opportunity, went out and dealt a great blow to the enemy. Chen Dianqi actively attacked in other war zones to respond to your department's battle, but still act actively and do not give the enemy a chance to breathe..."

Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai, sent a telegram: "Mr. Li of Hubei wants to be my brother: After a complete victory in the battle of Hubei, the sound of victory came. I am deeply happy. My brother commanded well and killed the enemy and achieved results. His achievements were not great. The enemy suffered such a fiascourge, and his heart was still hope to continue to work hard and move forward to achieve full success."

No matter what it was like after Hao Qiang around the country heard about the retreat of the Beiyang Army, on the surface, he still enthusiastically sent a congratulatory message to Li Xiang. Chen Qimei is not the only one who is enthusiastic and disgusting and has never met.

The Battle of Hubei has just ended, and the Beiyang Army and the Li Xiang Revolutionary Army have each announced the results of their own statistics:

The Beiyang army claimed that more than 48,000 people were killed, injured and captured in this battle, while the casualties of the Beiyang army were only 8,600; Li Xiang Revolutionary Army claimed that more than 39,000 people were killed or injured in the Beiyang Army, and the number of casualties of the revolutionary army was more than 4,000.

From the day the Beiyang army withdrew from Hankou, a war of words broke out immediately. At that time, no one could give a strong evidence of how many people the two sides had lost in the battle.

So, did the Li Xiang Revolutionary Army win this battle, or did the Beiyang Army win?

Judging from the propaganda of Li Xiang's revolutionary army, it is obvious that he regards his own side as the winner. However, Duan Qirui has completely different views. He even thought that it was inaccurate for Li Xiang's revolutionary army to take the name of the battle "Battle of Hubei". He said that in the original case of the establishment of the First Army in Beiyang, there was no need to occupy Hubei, but to attack the Southern Democratic Party army in Hubei. If the operation progresses smoothly, the camera will capture Hubei. Therefore, how can the Beiyang Army defeat Hubei? In Duan Qirui's place, this battle is called the "Battle of Dabie Mountain" and believes that he is the winner.

Duan Qirui shouted in the newspaper that this battle began with the attack of the Beiyang army and ended with the withdrawal of the Beiyang army. The overall initiative on the battlefield basically rests with the Beiyang army. Therefore, in part, the Beiyang army will win.

As for the reason for the retreat of the Beiyang Army, Duan Qirui said it even more magnificently: the retreat of the Beiyang Army from the current defense zone is to show the sincerity of the Beiyang Army to make peace.
