Total War Predator

Li Jinglin's troops, who had taken refuge in the Tianjin Concession, took the opportunity to launch a riot in Tianjin City, and joined forces with Zhang Xueliang to conquer Tianjin. approach

Song Zheyuan led the troops to retreat to Beijing, Wu Junsheng also won many battles in Rehe, Lu Zhonglin also led the troops to retreat

Wu Peifu's direct army marched north along the Beijing-Hanzhou line and assembled the generation of Anyang. The national army generals Pang Bingxun, Wei Yisan, Gao Guizi and others actually led the troops to surrender to Wu Peifu

There are a total of more than 20 people in the assembled Feng and Zhi lines, and the total number of the three armies of the National Army is a little over 10.

"What should we do with the current situation? The troops led by Zhang Xueliang and Zhu Yupu have conquered Tianjin City, and they will reach the capital in a few days. How should we defend? Should we rely on Beijing City to hold on, or abandon Beijing City and retreat to Nankou for defense?" Lu Zhong Lin looked at Song Zheyuan and Liu Yufen who were sitting opposite and asked

Nankou Town, Changping County, Northwest Suburbs of Beijing, is the main road leading to Suiyuan. It is a mountain pass in the Yanshan Mountains. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The narrow mountain road here and the Beijing-Suiyuan-Suiyuan Railway laid along the mountain road have staged a fortress at the south entrance of this large mountain range. It is located at the foot of the cliff on the south side of the mountain pass, and a square castle 30 meters behind is built.

One kilometer in front of the Nankou Fortress, there is a mountain village and the Nankou Station. In front of the station, there are shooting positions all over the station, which can control the six kilometers of frontal shooting bunkers. There are two types of bunkers: horizontal and vertical. The traffic trench leads to Nankou Station and the second line of defense. The second line of defense is a machine gun fortress, which is very solidly constructed and has a good shooting area.

The artillery position is stationed behind the high ground next to the Nankou Fortress. There are almost no passages in the mountains. The nearest passage is Gubeikou, which is located 70 kilometers north of Nankou. There are two cavalry divisions and an infantry brigade defending Gubeikou. Only infantry who do not carry artillery can The traffic extends from this opening to the left and right. The left wing runs from Longhukou through Shimen to the crossing at the root of the Great Wall; rear mine

This position was built with the help of Soviet experts. When Song Zheyuan and Liu Yufeng heard Lu Zhonglin talk about Nankou, their eyes widened. Two months is enough for the Nationalist Government in Guangzhou to send troops to support

The three quickly reached an agreement to abandon Beijing and Tianjin, and the troops were all withdrawn to the Nankou Fortress to be continued

Chapter 71 Surrender of the National Army

After retreating to the Nankou Fortress, the three commanders of the National Army pinned their hopes on the Guangzhou National Government - the current National Government has ten troops with 10,000+ troops. As long as they take Hunan, Wu Peifu is bound to retreat , they can withdraw southward to Henan, presumably borrowing from Zhang Zhijiang, he will still agree

This is the last way out, otherwise there is only death in battle or surrender

Shi San didn't know what the rest of the army thought. Anyway, he was very depressed. If he had known that now, he might as well have stayed in Henan with Li Mingzhong. Could it be that Lu Zhonglin's head was full of mud?

Now the Zhifeng coalition forces have a total of more than 50. They rely on the Nankou Fortress, which has been abandoned for more than a year, to resist for two or three months.

No, I can't die with this group of people, I have to find a way out Shi San made up his mind to find a way out by himself, but looking around the forces, there are not many who can take him in now, Zhang Zhijiang doesn't think about it first, Yan Xishan is now relying on others, Zhang Zuolin hated them deeply, Wu Peifu is not a good guy, the only one who can have a family is Zhang Zongchang

Zhang Zongchang was born in a reckless, loyal, as long as you can bow your head and give in, there will always be a way out for him

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, so Shi San asked his confidant to find Zhang Zongchang

When the staff saw Zhang Zongchang, he made amends and apologized, and even gave Zhang Zongchang's unborn grandson or granddaughter a piece of warm jade.

As the saying goes, killing is nothing more than a nod. Now that Shi Sanfu has softened, Zhang Zongchang is naturally not good at killing them all, but he has something to say first

"Once there is a war, if you meet my people, you must let us pass the defense line, and then disarm and take charge of the battlefield. Bullets don't have eyes." Zhang Zongchang is afraid that Shi San will feign surrender&&

"Don't worry, our teacher said, we will do whatever you tell us to do." The staff officer's chest patted Peng Peng's sound.

Lu Zhonglin never expected that there would be people thinking of surrendering before the battle started, and there were more than one

In Zhang Zongchang alone, Shi San and Han Fuju went to surrender, and Ma Fuxiang's Ma Jiajun in Ningxia went to meet Wu Peifu

Lu Zhonglin, Song Zheyuan and Liu Yufen listened to the sound of artillery fire outside, and they had long since lost the vigor they had two months ago

9 divisions with 10,000+ troops surrendered two and a half at the beginning of the battle, and lost half of their positions. What makes people angry is that they lost their positions in the south. This time the National Army has difficulties even if it wants to retreat south.

"What should we do?" Lu Zhonglin's eyes were bloodshot, he hadn't closed his eyes for three days, the battle was fierce, and the position was also lost a little bit. Because this fortress itself is a semi-finished product, there are artillery shells these days, From time to time, planes drop bombs, many fortifications have been destroyed, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. Due to the rush, many things were not prepared in time.

"The situation in the army is not good. Many soldiers lost blood and died. We don't have enough medicine. Even gauze is in short supply. This is the third day. I don't think we are suitable for fighting anymore," Song Zheyuan said.

"Should we just surrender like this?" Liu Yufen suddenly raised his voice and shouted. He was very unhappy. Originally, there were three of them and he was just a Beijing garrison commander, which made him very unhappy. Now that the territory is lost, a group of people stay in the fortress. is aggrieved

"Then what do you say? Let the brothers continue to work with their lives?" Song Zheyuan also raised his voice, why didn't he feel aggrieved? It has only been a few days since he became the governor of Zhili, and Ma is about to become a prisoner

Liu Yufen bowed her head and remained silent. There is really no way to answer this. If you don’t surrender, you will die together. If you surrender, there will always be a way out.

"What's the situation in Guangzhou?" Song Zheyuan looked at Liu Yufen who was speechless, and then asked Lu Zhonglin

"He wants us to hold on for a while longer and has already organized troops to set off." Lu Zhonglin didn't believe what he said.

Not long ago, Chiang Kai-shek received a telegram from Lu Zhonglin. He also knew that the National Army could not last long, but he felt that once the war broke out, Wu Peifu might retreat at any time. Now is not the time to take the initiative. There are few troops, not to mention that it is very convenient to transport troops along the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway

But returning Lu Zhonglin like this will also chill him. If he really disarms and surrenders, his Northern Expedition will add a lot of resistance

Just when he didn't know what to do, someone appeared and gave him an opportunity to solve this problem

He is none other than Tang Shengzhi, who is now dubbed the Buddhist general. On January 1 this year, Tang Shengzhi ordered all officers and soldiers to be ordained as Buddhists. Everyone wore a badge of "Great Mercy, Great Compassion, Save People and Save the World" on their chests.

In February Sichuan scuffled again, Tang Shengzhi felt that this was the best time for him to seize power in Hunan, so he led his troops to expel Hunan Governor Zhao Hengti

On March 3, the No.1 Regiment of the Tang Army began to advance towards Changsha. The Japanese troops were less than 15 miles away from Changsha. Governor Zhao Hengxi was required to leave Changsha within 20 hours. One day later, on the 24th, it was announced that Tang Shengzhi was the Secretary of Internal Affairs and the Chief of Military Affairs.

On the 10th, Zhao Hengti left Changsha and went north. On the 12th, Tang Shengzhi arrived in Changsha from Hengyang. He sent a telegram to invite He Yaozu, the commander of the Hunan First Division, Liu Yu, the commander of the Second Division, and Ye Kaixin, the commander of the Third Division, to come to Changsha to discuss the aftermath.

At the meeting, Tang Shengzhi suddenly launched an attack and ordered Liu Yu to be detained, Ye Kaixin removed from his position, Xiao Rulin, the secretary general of the second division, Zhang Xiongyu, the chief of staff of the third division, Liu Chongwei, the brigade commander of the third division, and he Jian, the commander of the cavalry brigade of the fourth division, was sent to Ye Kaixin. Ministry of attack, Tang Ye war broke out

Unprepared, Ye Kaixin rushed to the battle and retreated to Tang Shengzhi Army in Hubei, and He Jian's troops were stationed in Yuezhou

Ye Kaixin asked Wu Peifu for help. Wu Peifu appointed Ye Kaixin as the commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army of the Allied Forces Against Thieves, and Peng Shoushen as the Hunan-Hubei Border Defense Supervision Office, and attacked Yuezhou from the Hunan-Hubei border

Facing the menacing Ye Kaixin, He Jian voluntarily withdrew from Yuezhou. Facing Wu Peifu's request to restore Zhao Hengti's post as Governor, Tang Shengzhi categorically refused

Tang Shengzhi led his troops to expel Zhao Hengti, but he did not dare to fight Wu Peifu, but he was not just driven away by Wu Peifu, so he sent someone to negotiate with the Nationalist Government and agreed to join the Nationalist Government, but the Nationalist Government wanted to send troops immediately to rescue his urgent need

This is really someone who wants to doze off and someone will give you a pillow. Of course, Tang Shengzhi agreed to Chiang Kai-shek’s request. On the 21st, the Nationalist Government appointed Tang Shengzhi as the commander of the No. 14 Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Northern Expedition, and also in charge of Hunan civil affairs. He replied to Lu Zhonglin If you want him to persist for a while, the troops of the Northern Expedition have already set off

But now how to persist like this, what to persist?

"Surrender if you can't. Hunan is at war. Presumably Yushuai also wants to end the battle here as soon as possible. This time he should accept our surrender." Lu Zhonglin's tone was filled with indescribable loneliness. is too fast

Lu Zhonglin's guess was right. Wu Peifu hoped that the war in the north would end soon so that he could deal with the war in Hunan with all his strength. He readily agreed to Lu Zhonglin's surrender

The national army, which originally planned to resist for two or three months, declared its surrender after only resisting for five days.

Chapter 72 The Northern Expedition

"Surrender?" Chiang Kai-shek couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news. If I remember correctly, Lu Zhonglin sent a telegram to himself just three days ago saying that he could hold on for more than a month. It's only been three days.

"Yes, they electrified and surrendered to Wu Peifu last night. I am afraid that Wu Peifu's troops will go south in the next two days. By that time, it will be even more difficult to continue the northern expedition." Zhang Qun smiled wryly, and he did not Thinking that the national army surrendered tens of thousands of troops so quickly, relying on a fortress and a group of positions, no matter what, it can last for more than a month

"Niang Xipi, even if you want to kill tens of thousands of pigs, you will have to kill them for a few months. It seems that these people are unreliable. They are as weak as their leaders." Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he stood up and clapped his hands together. shouted at the table

It’s no wonder that Chiang Kai-shek has no manners, it’s because people have to be angry. Just yesterday, March 3, Lu Zhonglin, Song Zheyuan, and Liu Yufen electrified the whole country, and decided to put down their arms and accept Wu Peifu’s inclusion for the sake of peace in the north.

"What should we do now, Tang Shengzhi, we have already stayed, should we go and explain to Wu Peifu that this is a misunderstanding?" Chiang Kai-shek originally planned to take advantage of the fierce battle between Wu Peifu and the National Army, and lead the troops to blow his chrysanthemum. This was originally very easy. Things, I didn't expect that the National Army not only did not consume Wu Peifu's strength, but directly surrendered, the strength of 9 divisions, Wu Peifu is now 10,000+ people

"In fact, we are not in a hurry. After the war in the north, there will definitely be another reshuffle. Zhang Anle not only occupies Wu Peifu's old territory in Henan, but also in Hubei. Zhang Zongchang now occupies Tianjin, and Wu Peifu occupies most of the direct area. There are many internal conflicts in the Zhifeng Allied Forces right now, just fighting for territory is enough for them to quarrel for a month. Lu Zhonglin and others must not really want to surrender to Wu Peifu. Is it the land? Let’s give it to him, take Hunan and give it to Tang Shengzhi, take Hubei to Lu Zhonglin, take Anhui to Song Zheyuan, and Jiangsu to Liu Yufen. I don’t believe they won’t be tempted.”
