Beiyang reactionaries

Although Lu Rongting's Gui army is not bad in strength, Lu Rongting is a bandit, and all the senior officers under him are brothers who followed him back then.These people are Lu Rongting's brothers, and of course they are also reckless people.

Therefore, these people have not received much military education, and they don't know much about modern warfare. They do everything according to the bandit practices they used to do.The promotion of officers in the army is also based on the rules of their bandits, not the situation of the modern army.Therefore, whether it is the Guangxi Army or the Guangdong Army, these troops controlled by Lu Rongting are very backward in the regularization of the troops.For Ma Xiaojun, he wanted to reform the Gui army, and the model camp was an experiment.

He wants to use the model battalion to train officers, so as to slowly reform the Gui army.

But Tan Haoming was too much.

Even if you run, you leave all the other troops behind, but you shouldn't leave the Model Battalion behind.Because this is not an ordinary battalion, this is the future of the Gui Army.As long as you are a smart person, you will not give up such a unit.There are five hundred officers here, who can arm a brigade or even a division if they are used properly. The real Guangxi army will be here in the future.But Tan Haoming, an idiot, left Ma Xiaojun and his model camp in Baoqing.

Short-sighted guy.

The Gui Army has such high-level officials, and Ma Xiaojun is really worried about the development of the Gui Army.If the Gui army is such an idiot, then where does the Gui army have development and where does it have a future.

"Now I have a very bad news to tell you. Tan Haoming, his guards and the first regiment seem to have escaped. No one can find them in the city."

"what?"

"how come?"

Everyone froze for a moment.But soon Li Zongren couldn't help but said: "Damn Tan Haoming, this son of a bitch."

angry.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the three provinces of Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi, Tan Haoming had already done the thing of abandoning troops when he was in Changsha.At that time, the Hunan and Guangdong Army troops led by Cheng Qian retreated from the front line, and Tan Haoming's Gui Army was originally expected to assist them.Everyone worked together to block Wu Peifu's troops.

But before they returned to Changsha, Tan Haoming left them aside. In other words, he abandoned the Hunan and Guangdong Army and ran away with the troops.If Zhang Huaizhi hadn't been dawdling before, otherwise once Zhang Huaizhi took Liling, Zhuzhou, Xiangtan and other places at that time, the Xiangyue army led by Cheng Qian at that time could only be wiped out.

Having done this kind of thing once, Tan Haoming has already lost face.But after all, the Hunan-Guangdong Army and the Guangxi Army are not all the way.Although there are members of Lu Rongting in the Cantonese army, Tan Haoming believes that the Gui army is his direct descendant.It is understandable that the Hunan-Guangdong Army was thrown away for the sake of the Guangxi Army.

So this time Tan Haoming escaped for himself, and he also tricked Gui Jun.He took his own guards and the first regiment and slipped away quietly, but there were still the second and third regiments of the Gui Army in Baoqing City.It's simply not human.

"Team leader, Tan Haoming is doing well, why did he run away?"

After Li Zongren finished scolding, he was very puzzled.In the current situation, although Baoqing's defense is very difficult, the troops have suffered heavy casualties, and ammunition is insufficient.But it is not so easy for Li Jishen's troops to take down Baoqing.If Tan Haoming can hold on to Baoqing for more than a week, or even ten days and a half months, then there will be a turning point if he says no.Even if there are too many casualties, Li Jishen will stop attacking, and Lu Rongting may also send reinforcements.

But why did Tan Haoming run away at this time.Li Zongren really couldn't understand.

"Hengyang is lost, Youxian County and Chaling are also lost."

Huang Xuchu opened his mouth to explain.

"Wu Peifu's troops have captured Hengyang, and yesterday they captured Youxian and Chaling consecutively. The Hunan-Guangdong coalition forces have retreated to Yongxing. I guess Tan Haoming slipped away quietly because he heard the news."

"This coward."

These people no longer cared about Tan Haoming's identity.So what if you are a senior general of the Gui army?Selling teammates on the battlefield is completely unforgivable behavior.This kind of behavior is absolutely despised in the army.

"Everyone knows, let's talk about what to do now?"

After Ma Xiaojun waited for a few people to vent their anger, he immediately questioned them.Although the three people in front of him were all under 30 years old, Ma Xiaojun did not underestimate them.As their superior, Ma Xiaojun is well aware of the abilities of his subordinates.

So Ma Xiaojun wanted to hear their thoughts.

"Leader, let's go too."

Huang Shaohong is the youngest, only 23 years old.It's only been a year and a half since I graduated from the military academy, so I'm still young and impulsive.Tan Haoming ran away, Baoqing couldn't guard against it at all.As long as the news of Tan Haoming's escape spreads, Baoqing will be in chaos.

Even if Tan Haoming didn't run, according to Li Jishen's current offensive strength, it would be very difficult to defend Baoqing.What's more, now that Tan Haoming has run away, this will seriously damage the morale of the army.

Baoqing definitely couldn't keep it.

Taking advantage of the fact that other troops do not know the news, the troops can also leave quietly.

"No."

Li Zongren immediately objected.

Although he is only 27 years old, Li Zongren is definitely the most important person in Ma Xiaojun's army.Because Li Zongren is calm and capable different from his age, and he is very open-minded, so he has a high prestige in the army.

"Delin (Li Zongren), what do you think?"

"Absolutely can't withdraw without authorization. Commander, we are different from him Tan Haoming. Tan Haoming can run quietly because he is behind, his guards and the first regiment are the reserve team, and he has the opportunity and time to escape. But we are now deploying defenses on the front line. Once we withdraw, this line will be broken through immediately. If the whole Baoqing is in chaos, we will not be able to escape. If the enemy pursues the victory, the problem will be even greater. Now this We can't mess it up ourselves."

"kindness."

Ma Xiaojun nodded.

Yes.

Ma Xiaojun is different from Tan Haoming.Tan Haoming's guards and the first regiment were both serving as a reserve team, and no one knew who left quietly.But Ma Xiaojun's troops were fighting against Li Jishen's troops.If they retreat, Li Jishen will know soon.As long as one point of Baoqing's city defense is breached, the whole Baoqing will have problems.

can't go.

At that time, it is estimated that it will not be able to run.

"What do you think?"

"Head, I think we should cooperate with the Qian Army and the Third Regiment, and negotiate with the Beiyang Army in front."

"negotiation?"

"Yes. Commander, although Tan Haoming has escaped, and the casualties of various troops are not small these days, there should still be 8000 to [-] troops in Baoqing City. As long as we guard Baoqing wholeheartedly, Li Jishen and the others want to take It's not that easy to take down Baoqing. They can't take down Baoqing without paying thousands of casualties. In this case, we will join forces to negotiate with them. I think the Beiyang army on the opposite side will also be willing."

Ma Xiaojun did not speak immediately after hearing Li Zongren's suggestion.

negotiation?

is a good way.Anyway, in the current China, very few troops are really fighting to kill.Even between the North and South teams.When the fight fails, everyone can sit down and negotiate. This is a very common thing.

Just look at this battle to protect the law.

Play and stop.

It is not known how many armistice agreements between frontline troops have been signed.

Negotiations are not afraid.

There is only one thing Ma Xiaojun is most worried about.Really negotiate, give up Baoqing, and leave a way for the troops to survive.But what to do after withdrawing from Baoqing and returning to Guijun?No matter how shameless Tan Haoming was, he led his men to flee privately and abandoned the other troops, it would be a stain anyway.He definitely didn't like to see Ma Xiaojun and the others again.

Although Lu Rongting still held Ma Xiaojun in high regard, Ma Xiaojun knew that he could never compare with Tan Haoming.Even if Tan Haoming lost the battle, in Lu Rongting's mind, he and Tan Haoming were not at the same level.If Tan Haoming puts a hat on himself at that time, especially if he puts the responsibility for Baoqing's failure on himself, it will be difficult.

Ma Xiaojun couldn't help but think so.

Baoqing's defeat definitely needed a scapegoat.Even if Tan Haoming is responsible, but Tan Haoming's character will definitely not admit that it is his own problem. At that time, Tan Haoming is most likely to accuse himself of the crime.That's why Ma Xiaojun hesitated so much.But when he looked up and saw Huang Xuchu, Huang Shaohong, and Li Zongren and several young people, and thought of those under him, Ma Xiaojun still nodded.

The most urgent thing now is how to leave Baoqing with his troops alive, as for other things, he will think about it later.
