New Warlords 1909

Ministers stationed in China from various countries have also issued diplomatic ultimatums, expressing their concerns about the civil war in China.We call on all forces to calmly exercise restraint, and not to harm the interests of overseas Chinese and businessmen in China.

At this time, the first division led by Hua Fei had already rushed to the outskirts of Huainan by night, and after a short rest, continued to Bengbu.The combat effectiveness of the Second Division has yet to be tested, but most of them are revolutionary soldiers with rich combat experience. In addition, they are equipped with Hua Fei's excellent weapons and resist Ni Sichong's more than [-] soldiers. The task is not very difficult.Most of the soldiers of the Anqing Army's First Army had also participated in many battles, and it was not too difficult to order them to go to Mengcheng to defend Lei Zhenchun's [-]-odd guards.

And the most difficult bone is the braided army under Zhang Xun, the elite infantry of the Second Beiyang Division.There are more than 4 people in the Yi Army, which is equipped with extremely sophisticated weapons, but all of them are blocked by Hua Fei's first division.

It wasn't that Hua Fei was conceited, nor was he trying to show off.But there is not enough troops, there is really no way.The Second Division and the Anqing Army may be able to mobilize some troops, but Hua Fei is not at ease after all, and secondly, the newly transferred battalions may not be able to keep up with the fighting rhythm of the First Division, thus becoming a burden.

In Hua Fei's view.The First Division's battle is not hopeless.The three enemies did not meet, so Hua Fei only needed to concentrate his forces and defeat each of them, which was to weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible.And the biggest key to this tactic is high-speed movement to strike the enemy unexpectedly.

"Report, according to the report from the scouts, all the spies following us have been cleared!" One evening.In the outskirts of Bengbu, Wang Meng came to report.

"Okay, Hua San, do you have any latest intelligence on the enemy's military situation?"

"Report, the Second Beiyang Division is on its way and will arrive in Xuzhou in about seven days. Zhang Xun's troops have marched south from Yanzhou, have entered Suqian, Huai'an, and are converging on Xuzhou. Yi's troops have left Shangqiu, less than a hundred miles away from Anhui. kilometer!"

"Is Yi Jun also going to Xuzhou to join the other two departments?"

"This is not very clear. It may be to Xuzhou. Of course. The possibility of the three armies attacking Huaibei cannot be ruled out!"

The bodyguard quickly spread out the map.Hua Fei took a ruler and took a simple measurement.Immediately said. "Order all the officers above the regiment in the division headquarters. Concentrate on the meeting!"

Inside the temporary canvas tent in the military camp.Around a simple sand table.Surrounded by officers at all levels and above the regiment.This is since the army.For the first time, Hua Feidi formalized the general military council.All mostly guesswork.Maybe military action is about to start.

"Everyone!" Hua Fei was dressed in military uniform.Although the body has not fully recovered.But the spirit is bright.Full of spirit. "I think everyone understands that our battle is difficult. We face three powerful enemies. They are. Zhang Xun's troops in Suqian have about [-] troops. The second division of the Beiyang Army will soon arrive in Xuzhou. About [-] troops. And There are more than [-] troops from Zhao Tiyi's army in Henan. They have left Shangqiu now and have reached the vicinity of Yucheng."

"The soldiers of my first division will be able to catch any of them. It is no problem. But if these three enemy forces are united, then our battle situation will become extremely severe! Therefore, the commander of the army has passed After discussing with the staff, it was decided. Immediately march overnight. Go straight to the vicinity of Dangshan Mountain in northern Anhui. Stop and wipe out the Yi army going south!"

As soon as Hua Fei issued this order.Only a few officers looked up.Slightly; showing a hint of surprise.Bengbu is more than [-] kilometers away from Dangshan Mountain.And Yucheng is only tens of kilometers away from Dangshan Mountain.Two hundred kilometers of rapid march for the first division.Especially for the first.two.For three groups.Not a daunting challenge.You must know that there is a week-long march of [-] kilometers.But at the beginning they had the most painful long-distance training.But the problem is.March [-] kilometers to Dangshan.I am afraid that Yi's army will also arrive near Dangshan.At that time, the soldiers will be seriously exhausted.How can the battle be started immediately?

Hua Fei seemed to understand the thoughts of some officers, and continued, "Not only do we have to arrive before the Yi army arrives at Dangshan, but we also need to quickly complete the deployment of the battle. In addition, the time left for us to fight is only one day, and at most it will not exceed two days. Because After receiving the news, Zhang Xun and the Second Beiyang Division will send aid soon.

"So, we have to rush to Dangshan as fast as possible! Time is the key to our victory! I don't want to be left behind or injured during this rapid march. Because we are the first division, the most elite First division!"

"Yes!" All the officers stood at attention and shouted.

"Report!" Cao Yuan said quickly.

Hua Fei glanced at Cao Yuan, and said slowly, "Say!"

Cao Yuan seemed unaware of Hua Fei's indifference, and still said bluntly, "In the past, our rapid march training was conducted with light troops. But this time, we are not only burdened by heavy machine guns, but also slow-moving artillery teams. In addition, the logistics regiment and the civilian army transport team accompanying the army absolutely cannot support such a high-intensity march!"

Hua Fei nodded, "Cao Yuan is right, so we will march lightly this time! All soldiers bring seven days' rations, and the Ninth Regiment and the Artillery Regiment stay in Bengbu. Each regiment carries two heavy machine guns , take all the mortars and ammunition, and rush to Dangshan immediately!"

"Yes!"

Hua Fei took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "15 minutes later. The whole army is leaving!"

Two days later, the officers and soldiers of the Yi Army Division, which had entered Zhaotun, Anhui, complained incessantly. It had been raining for three hours, and thunder and lightning began to explode in the air.Although the rain makes the temperature a lot cooler.But it is still very unpleasant to have wet clothes sticking to the body.

"Overseer, let's rest and wait for the rain before leaving!"

Henan Warlord Zhao Ti is Yuan Shikai's confidant, Yi Jun and the Beiyang Army have different muddy yellow uniforms, the light blue army in front of Zhao Ti's eyes is slowly moving forward in the rain, like a sea wave, rolling and flowing.

"Xie? There was a telegram from Beijing five days ago. Anhui Hua Lengzi has already set off! Two days ago. They appeared in Bengbu, and then we lost all their traces! We don't know where his elite first division is now However, what is certain is that their target must be the Second Division, Zhang Xun, or our Yi Army!"

Zhao Ti rode on the horse, looking at the foggy village in front of him as he walked, and continued, "At this moment, we cannot be negligent! This is already in the territory of Anhui! The whole army is ordered to strengthen vigilance. We must rush to Dangshan County before nightfall. You can rest!"

"Yes!"

The rainy day caused difficulties for Yi Jun's march, and at the same time, it also brought great troubles to Hua Fei's troops.The Engineering Corps and the Logistics Corps have lagged far behind.Because all I ate in the past two days was dry food.Many trainee trainees of the Jagged Military Academy and some former soldiers of the Defense Army have fallen ill.In order not to slow down the marching speed, Hua Fei ordered all sick officers and soldiers to stay and rest temporarily.Waiting for the arrival of the logistics group and the engineering group.

"Come on!" Hua Fei shook the dirt off his shoes and wiped the rain from his face.shouted.

"To!"

"How far is it from Dangshan?"

"Report, this is Guandi Temple. It's still about twenty miles away from Dangshan Mountain!"

Twenty miles?Hua Fei avoided the rain and turned on his pocket watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.Because the sky is covered with thick clouds, the light has gradually dimmed!

"Has the First Pioneer Regiment arrived at Dangshan? Has there been any news from the scouts?"

"Report, the first regiment will arrive at Dangshan in about 10 minutes, and the scouts have not returned any news yet!"

Hua Fei nodded. In order to understand the enemy's situation as quickly as possible, Hua Fei ordered the first regiment to rush to Dangshan County with a wireless telegraph machine, so as not to be delayed by the enemy!

"Okay, pass the order down and rest in place for 5 minutes!"

Hua Fei couldn't move anymore, and the wound that hadn't fully healed had already begun to ache under the soaking of the rain.The limited horses were all transferred to the scouts and the weaker cadets, so this day, he walked with the first division entirely on foot.

"Commander, you'd better ride the horse! I'm really fine, Commander!" Bai Kaijun looked at Hua Fei's pale face and persuaded again.

"Master!" Guo Tong seemed to be more angry than Hua Fei, and said loudly, "Even if you don't want to ride a horse, then let Guo Tong carry you on a stretcher! Master, you are still injured, so you must not go on like this! "

At this time, Wang Zixia not far away came over holding the rein of the horse, threw the rein into Guo Tong's hand, pressed his pale lips and said, "Horse, you take the lead, whoever you like to ride! Whoever orders me, I will Don’t listen! Shoot whatever you want!”

All eyes were on Wang Zixia. As the only female soldier in the First Army, Wang Zixia was originally equipped with a war horse!But with a stubborn personality, she understands that with her position, she is not qualified to ride a war horse!So she sternly refuses to accept it!It's just that she is still a woman after all, and she cannot sustain such a high-intensity march all the way by relying on willpower and stubbornness alone!

Finally, on the night after the first day of the march, she developed a low-grade fever and fell ill.But even so, she still didn't want to leave the people waiting for the logistics team, and still insisted on continuing to march.

After Hua Fei found out, he was furious!But horses were scarce, so Hua Fei gave up his own horse!At first, Wang Zixia still didn't accept it, but under Hua Fei's strong order, she had no choice but to ride a war horse!

This episode has developed to the present scene, including Hua Fei, everyone on the scene understands that this woman's inner strength really makes ordinary men feel ashamed.However, her stubbornness obviously won't make Hua Fei succumb. Seeing the limping Wang Zixia leave his horse and walk forward, Hua Fei stood up and shouted, "Guo Tong!"

"exist!"

"Tie her up to me and throw her on the horse!"

"Ah... uh... this... yes!"

"***, you are still the first person who dared to disobey my military order! Shoot you? It's a joke, it doesn't cost me Hua Fei's bullets!" Hua Fei muttered angrily.

"Report, urgent call from Dangshan!"

109 Luring the Enemy Deep

"Read!"

Hua Fei got up quickly and said loudly.

"The first regiment of our department has rushed to Dangshan. According to the report of the scouts sent, a team of thousands of people was found in Zhaotun, sixteen or seven miles west of Dangshan. They were dressed in blue military uniforms and were well equipped. The Yi Army Department!"

Hua Fei quickly spread out the waterproof map, found Zhao Tun immediately, and immediately became nervous.Sixteen or seven miles away, but the Guandi Temple where they are now is about twenty miles away from Dangshan Mountain!That is to say, they were in a hurry, but they still didn't make it to Dangshan in time because of the damn weather.Even if we set off at full speed now, there would not be enough time to lay the fortifications.

"Commander, even if we rush as fast as possible now, most of the soldiers have no strength at all and cannot immediately go into battle!" the Chief of Staff of the First Division hurriedly reminded.

Of course Hua Fei understood that at this time, except for the soldiers of the second and third regiments who were in slightly better physical condition, the status of the other regiments was not optimistic.Even if they rush to Dangshan by force, they will not be able to form a strong fighting force!
