New Warlords 1909

What?Attack Xuzhou?Even for a carefree person like Guo Tong.He was also taken aback by Hua Fei's order.Xuzhou is not to mention an important town in northern Jiangsu.There are 1 reinforcements from Huaibei.There are more than [-] freshmen from the Beiyang Second Division.Even if Xuzhou was captured very smoothly.It will also immediately face pincer attacks from two sides.If you can't take Xuzhou smoothly.Then the First Division of the New Army will most likely be surrounded on three sides.That would be extremely dangerous.

"Commander. The first battle of Cao Ji. Our army's ammunition consumption has exceeded half. Although it has been replenished with materials obtained in the war, both food and ammunition are facing serious shortages. At this time, we are attacking Xuzhou. There is no heavy artillery support. It's not a wise move!" Chief of Staff Bai Kaijun quickly remonstrated.

"Who said I was going to attack Xuzhou?" Hua Fei walked up a high slope with a smile.Asked while walking. "Huh? Not attacking Xuzhou?"

"Let's send the order. This time we are a feint attack. Put more pressure on the direction of Xuzhou. Find a way to call out the defenders in Huaibei. That way. We don't need to work hard. Launch a siege of Huaibei. Just return to the army quickly. With The defenders of Huaibei are coming to a field battle! This is called..."

Bai Kaijun suddenly realized.However, this method is also very risky.If their movements are detected by Xuzhou Zhang Xun Department.Then it is likely to fall into a situation where both sides are attacked.Even if the Huaibei defenders do not act.Then the plot fails.Explain that both food and ammunition will run out.The situation will be very unfavorable to the first division.

Bai Kaijun just raised the question.Liu Hai, the head of the first regiment, quickly interjected. "Even if we are detected. With our advantage in movement, we can quietly insert back into Huaibei. It happens to be effortless. Occupy Huaibei. If the Huaibei defenders don't take action.... We will use our plan. Capture Huaibei City!"

"No!" Liu Hai's words just came out of his mouth.Hua Fei immediately denied it. "Our main goal is not Zhang Xun. We only need to defeat the Second Beiyang Division. This battle. We will be considered a success!"

Bai Kaijun was silent.The other chief officials were also thoughtful.They all went down to arrange tasks.Everyone understood what Hua Fei meant.Just defeat Beiyang Second Division.Then Zhang Xun is left with a force.He will never provoke Hua Fei again!certainly.Hua Fei has another meaning that only a few people know.Once you try your best to deal with Zhang Xun's troops.Not to mention that Hua Fei will pay a huge price for this.Lose stress.Will the impulsive revolutionaries attack Beijing?To expand the situation?This is also uncertain!

Xuzhou.The sky is already hazy.The sound of rooster crowing came and went in Xuzhou City.Zhang Xun was lying on the bed.Another sleepless night.Others may not know about Hua Fei's new army.But Zhang Xu had suffered from Hua Fei before.At that time, he dared to attack Nanjing City with only 4000 people.And it worked.Although I later realized that there is a lot of luck in it.But the premise is that luck never takes care of cowards!

this time.Zhang Xun mustered his energy.I vowed to avenge the shame of Nanjing in this battle.But a few days ago, they suddenly received seven thousand Yi troops and were surrounded by Hua Fei's first division within a day.In the end, the whole army was wiped out.Shocked by the news.The impact on Zhang Xun turned out to be huge.Zhang Xun understood very well.Even if he led more than [-] men from his troops to confront Yi Jun.Don't say a day.Even for ten days.I dare not say that I can wipe them all out!

Maybe there are still people who don't believe the news.But Zhang Xun absolutely believed it.Because he understands.This Hua Lengzi is by no means an ordinary opponent.

"Report!" A high-pitched voice came from a distance.Immediately let Zhang Xun jump up from the bed.Hastily put on some clothes.Just go out quickly.

"Report to the commander. About ten miles west of Xuzhou City. I found a group of soldiers. They are all in grass-green fancy military uniforms!"

"How many people are there?" Zhang Xun asked anxiously. "Report to the commander-in-chief. Preliminary estimate. There are at least ten thousand people!"

million people.At this time, it appeared outside Xuzhou City.And there are tens of thousands of armed forces.Except for Hua Fei's first division.Who else?Zhang Xun said loudly immediately. "Quick. Send an order to the whole city. All soldiers are on alert immediately! Send a telegram to Commander Wang of the Second Division. Tell them that Xuzhou City has been surrounded. Ask them to speed up. Rescue me! Send a telegram to Su Xilin in Huaibei immediately. Order him Immediately lead the troops. Reinforce Xuzhou!"

The whole city of Xuzhou suddenly exploded.Hua Shashen is here.Hua Shashen is here to attack Xuzhou City!Ruined.It is said that thousands of captives in Yijun were all killed by him.If this allows him to attack Xuzhou City.Will there be any living people in Xuzhou?Many people pack up the packages as quickly as possible.Just want to escape from Xuzhou City.However, it was too late.All doors are equipped with machine guns.Full vigilance.It was tightly blocked.

Run around in the middle of the night.Before arriving at Xuzhou City.Just dismounted.The guard group has set up a headquarters.Hua Fei picked up the binoculars and took a brief look at the situation in Xuzhou City.Immediately ordered Road. "All armies defend on the spot. The mortar company is ready for shelling. 32:[-]. The air force is probably coming!"

"Guo Tong. Find Hua San quickly. Ask him if there is any intelligence from Huaibei!"

"Yes!"

summer morning.The suburbs of Xuzhou are very quiet.The breeze blows slowly.Refreshing.There is no such hot feeling in summer.It should have been sparse to see the farmer's fields.At this time, I searched all over and found no one.

Hua Fei sat on a dirt slope.Leisurely looking at Xuzhou City, which is shrouded in a tense atmosphere.suddenly.Hua Fei felt a little tired.In the blink of an eye.Been here for almost five years.within five years.He started from a mere family team.Developed to today's strength and scale.within five years.He also grew up to be 23 years old.been plotted against.was assassinated.Meet setbacks.There are also countless victories and joys.But it's been so long.Hua Fei found that although his achievements were not low.But he still hasn't changed the country in a big way!

The second revolution still happened.War is still inevitable.soon.Artillery fire will cover Xuzhou City.And the war brought death and pain to countless people.But it was still a nightmare that Hua Fei couldn't get rid of.

A quiet and peaceful morning.How wonderful it must be!

Wang Zixia didn't know when he stood beside Hua Fei.It seems to be attracted by such a situation.I saw her slowly squatting down with her knees hugged.With a face full of joy, he grabbed a long grass and put it in his mouth.It seems that Hua Fei is watching.However, he turned his head and smiled hippie.Continue to look at everything in front of you.Smiling and groaning without saying a word.

Hua Fei looked at Wang Zixia's profile tenderly.Such a woman.He left his hometown and came to Hefei to refer to the military academy.To be honest, Hua Fei has always been curious.these days.Although Wang Zixia was reticent.But it's very delicate.What documents are required.She can always find it the first time.And occasionally.It will also be about Hua Fei's life.It's just that Hua Fei has never seen this girl smile like this before.It's a smile for her age.This is a smile that comes from the heart.

"Assistant Wang, can you tell me. Why did you come to refer to the military academy?" Hua Fei also imitated Wang Zixia's appearance.Pulled a root of tender grass into his mouth.asked casually.

Wang Zixia turned his head and saw Hua Fei's appearance.Suddenly he burst out laughing wantonly.The laughing Hua Fei felt a little embarrassed.Do you have any problems?

"Hahaha...hehe...commander. You sometimes look like you. You really don't look like the Anhui warlord. The commander of the first army of the Chinese Revolution!" Wang Zixia stopped laughing.Suddenly said such a sentence.

"Oh? Then what do I look like?" Hua Fei spat out the grass roots.Throw down the cap.Lie down on the grass and asked.

"Like... like... I won't tell. I won't tell you!" Wang Zixia picked up Hua Feidi's military cap.Try it on your head.Obviously Hua Fei's military cap is to her.A little big.But she didn't mind at all.

"Actually, I..." Wang Zixia's mood was like the tide.All of a sudden, he hugged his knees again.Muttered a little sadly. "When I was very young, I often dreamed. I dreamed that I was a female general who died in battle in my previous life. I have always believed in it. I believe that one day I will be like the dream."

When a girl in her twenties.Speak such melancholy and vicissitudes of life in your presence.How would you feel?Hua Fei wanted to laugh.But I can't help but laugh!

"Are you unhappy? You don't like being my assistant?" Hua Fei sat up.Looking at Wang Zixia's face, he said seriously.

Wang Zixia looked back at Hua Fei's provocative gaze.Get out of the way quickly.Then she still hugged her knees and looked ahead.Don't say a word!

"You want to be like them? To fight?" Hua Fei pointed to the soldiers who were digging trenches ahead.asked loudly.

Wang Zixia remained silent.

"Wang Meng. Go to the poisonous snake. Borrow me a sniper rifle!"

Wang Meng quickly brought a slightly modified Springfield.Pass it to Hua Fei.Hua Fei didn't even look at it.Put it on Wang Zixia's side. "Since you like fighting. I satisfy you! I just want you to remember. You are a soldier of the First Army. I need you to live. Not die!"

Hua Fei remembers being on the shooting range of the military academy.This Prince Xia's shooting skills are very good.Watching her mope around her all day long.Might as well let her do what she likes!

"You fight with the first regiment. But after the battle, you immediately return to the guard regiment to report!"

Hua Fei's words.With a tone of command.But Wang Zixia still sat there motionless.Only the shoulders were trembling slightly.You can see the excitement and struggle in her heart.

Hua Fei didn't care either.He saw Guo Tong running towards him in the distance.He quickly greeted him.Wang Zixia stayed where he was until he couldn't hear footsteps for a long time.Hajime slowly picked up the primitive sniper rifle beside him.Slender fingers across the body of the gun.Wang Zixia jerked the bolt of the gun.The bullet is loaded.Everything flows smoothly.Very skilled!

He turned his head to look at the back of Hua Fei leaving.Wang Zixia pursed his lips.With the rifle on his back, he stood up and bowed his back.Quickly ran to the first regiment's position.

114 The First Bombing

Guo Tong not only brought back information on Huaibei.Also brought several telegrams at the same time.As expected, Hua Fei did not expect it.After Su Xilin in Huaibei received Zhang Xun's telegram.Immediately leave a thousand defenders.Quickly bring other reinforcements back to Xuzhou.According to the distance and their marching speed.We will arrive in Xuzhou in the evening.

In addition, intelligence came from the scouts who were investigating the Beiyang Second Division.After learning that Xuzhou was besieged.The Second Division did not rush to reinforce Xuzhou.Instead, they stationed themselves on defense.There seems to be a situation of watching the fire from the other side.

The First Fleet of the Yangtze River had several fierce artillery battles with the Beiyang Army Navy at the mouth of Shanghai.Both sides suffered injuries.But none of the enemy ships were sunk.But this move caused extreme dissatisfaction among foreigners in the Shanghai Concession.A letter of protest has been sent to the Beijing government.Concerned about the possibility of a large-scale war near Shanghai that could harm the interests of all countries.

The Beiyang government saw that Huafei's sea route had already been defended.The plan to land on the Yangtze River fell through.In order to avoid the resentment of foreigners.The Beiyang Navy has gone north.It is not ruled out that the Sixth Division going south with the Navy will land in Lianyungang.It is possible to reinforce the Jiangsu and Anhui battlefields.

"The second division stopped advancing?" The division headquarters made a temporary tent.Hua Fei couldn't move his gaze from the picture for a long time.

"It's not surprising!" Cao Yuan said after a little thought. "You have to understand. Zhang Xun is not a direct descendant of Yuan Shikai. He has always obeyed orders and refused to obey orders. We are now encircling Xuzhou City. Yuan Shikai will definitely think that we cannot take Xuzhou in a short time. So if the second division arrives, we will what to do?"

"Of course it's a retreat!" Guo Tong, who seldom spoke at the military council, boldly expressed his opinion at this time. "There are 1 defenders in Xuzhou City. 1 reinforcements from Huaibei. Add more than [-] people from the Second Division. We will face the siege of more than [-] absolutely superior troops. What else can we do except retreat?"

"Yes. So I guess the second division stopped advancing. It is probably an order from the Beiyang Presidential Palace!"

"But. Is the Beiyang government not afraid that we will capture Xuzhou City?" This is Guo Tong's biggest confusion.

"The Sixth Division of the Beiyang Army!"

Cao Yuan's reminder.Immediately, Bai Kaijun, the staff officer, suddenly realized.Immediately echoed anxiously. "Yes. Commander! Not to mention that Xuzhou City is well-defended. We have sufficient weapons and ammunition. Even if we can really capture Xuzhou City, I am afraid that we will have to pay a lot of casualties. At that time, the Second Beiyang Division and the Sixth Division will meet in secret. Surprise attack on Xuzhou! Our army is exhausted from the new battle. Ammunition is lacking. How to resist? We can only withdraw to Anhui! In that way, the Beiyang Army can easily weaken Zhang Xun's strength immediately. And they can pursue us while we are winning. Kill two birds with one stone. What a vicious plan!"

After two reminders.Hua Fei also saw this possibility in an instant!No do not say.This is one of the best ways to quickly resolve a fight.If the Beiyang Second Division goes south quickly.Then in the face of an absolutely superior force.Hua Fei could only take the opportunity to capture Huaibei.Thus forming a long-term confrontational battle with the Beiyang Army.This is no matter for the Beiyang government.Still for Hua Fei.Both are extremely unfavorable situations.

And even if Huaibei is difficult to hold.Anhui still has great depth.The Beiyang Army wants a quick battle.I am afraid it is not that easy.Since being attacked by Hua Fei boldly.After eating Yi Jun in one go.The degree of caution that the Beiyang government attaches to Hua Fei.Clearly a few notches up.

Buzz buzz buzz...!

The roar of the aircraft fleet came from the sky.Hua Fei and a group of chief staff officers rushed out of the camp quickly.Watching dozens of small black dots getting bigger and bigger in the distance.More than 30 Pioneer Ones came slowly in a neat queue.Fly at the forefront.But they are two small reconnaissance planes.

"Order!" Hua Fei did not hesitate.It was almost the first time I saw the bomber fleet.Make a decision now. "The artillery is ready to fight. I ask them to use the fastest speed. Throw all the shells they carry. Throw them all to Xuzhou City. Order the legions. Prepare to fight. At all costs. It must be before two o'clock in the afternoon. Get me Let's go to Xuzhou City!"
