Beiyang reactionaries

What they fear most are soldiers.

If it is just to extort some military pay, it is still very good, or the military discipline is already quite good.I'm afraid that those troops will condone their soldiers to rob, and the whole place will suffer.

Soon the front ships arrived at Jingziguan Wharf, officers and soldiers of several ships dismounted, while others continued to move forward.Among the dozens of people who disembarked, two people walked in front, and they were officers at first glance.There were more than [-] soldiers following behind them, and the other soldiers immediately dispersed to create a cordon.

Among the two people in front, one of them shouted to the caravan here: "Our department is the second brigade of the garrison division under General Duan, the border defense supervisor of the four provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet. We need a large amount of supplies to pass through here. .We buy at the market price, this is what our troops need. If there is anyone who is willing to do business with us, our army's logistics group will arrive later, and we will discuss with them at that time."

The pure Hubei accent is still the accent from Wuchang.

The two people at the front, one is Ye Qi, who is currently the head of the second regiment of the Second Brigade of the Security Division (Brigade Commander Feng Yudong).Ye Qi defected to Duan Xun with He Yaozu back then, and is also from Guangxi.From the company commander at that time, in just over a year, he has already become the head of the regiment.

Security division reorganization.

In terms of the number of officers and the quality of officers, the Shaanxi Army is very disadvantaged.Because most of the officers in He Yaozu's army and Ma Xiaojun's army came from the military academy, and a large number of them came from the Baoding military academy.All of them are highly educated and have fought in wars, so they quickly occupy many important positions.

In comparison, the lower-level officers of the Shaanxi Army are quite illiterate, but they have not learned much tactics at all when it comes to fighting, and their military knowledge is even zero.Although Hu Jingyi also has selfish intentions, he is still fair on the whole.Since Duan Xun treated Hu Jingyi's senior officers fairly, Hu Jingyi also tried to be fair when assigning mid-level officers to each unit.

Therefore, when Hu Jingyi formed the garrison division, a large number of officers from He Yaozu and Ma Xiaojun's troops were promoted.

Ye Qi is like this.

As a graduate of the second phase of Baoding Military Academy, he was already a company commander in the Hunan Army before the War of Protecting Law, and was appointed battalion commander after defecting to Duan Xun.When the security division is established, it becomes the head of the regiment.

Beside Ye Qi, Tao Jun just spoke.

Unlike many officers from Guangxi who defected to the Hunan Army, Tao Jun was from Hubei. After graduating from Baoding Military Academy, he defected to the Guangxi Army instead.Because he is very familiar with Huang Shaohong from the Guijun Model Camp, and the two are very good friends.When Ma Xiaojun formed a model battalion, there was a shortage of various officers, and it was difficult for the Gui army to see some outstanding military school graduates.Therefore, it can only be recruited from the outside.Tao Jun was invited by Huang Shaohong to join Ma Xiaojun's model camp.

When Ma Xiaojun defected to Duan Xun, Huang Shaohong went to Li Jishen's military headquarters, and most of the officers of the model battalion stayed in the original army, which later became the teaching brigade of Hu Ruoyu's Eighth Division.In this war, this force was reorganized into the sixth division temporarily.

However, there are also some officers who left the model battalion and formed the second mixed brigade with Ma Xiaojun.Now the Second Mixed Brigade is incorporated into the Security Division, so they have become officers of the Security Division again.

Tao Jun is currently the commander of the first battalion of Ye Qi's second regiment.

"Sir, how much do you need?"

A bold one, who just said that he was doing business in Luoyang, came over and asked Tao Jun.

"Look at this for yourself, and prepare for us according to the amount of 5000 people. Why, are you interested?"

"of course."

"In another one or two hours, our supply group will arrive. You will contact them at that time. We are pressed for time and need to raise these supplies within half a day. I don't know if you can do it."

"Can, can."

The man looked at the list of various materials posted by Tao Jun, and nodded repeatedly.Jingziguan is a distribution center for supplies, and there is nothing that cannot be found here.Other businessmen are worried about doing business with soldiers, because they are worried that soldiers will not obey the rules and will not give money in the end.But he wasn't worried at all.

Because he had done business with Duan Xun's troops in the early years and knew the discipline of Duan Xun's troops.

"Okay, I'll give you a certificate, you can raise these supplies now. Don't worry, the money that should be given will not be short of you."

"Yes, I believe."

Ye Qi and Tao Jun simply stayed at Jingziguan, and then immediately boarded the boat, and the troops continued to walk along the Danjiang River.As the vanguard, Ye Qi's second regiment, with thousands of soldiers, continued to march forward.

After leaving Jingziguan, Tao Juncai said: "Commander, is there really no problem with our big fanfare?"

Hubei.

The battlefield that Duan Xun is most concerned about is still Hubei.

Therefore, not only used the Yangtze River to gather four divisions, two mixed brigades, and some other supporting troops along the Yangtze River, but also gathered more than 6 troops.But he was still worried, so when Zhiwan was about to fight, he sent another division of troops into Hubei.

That is the newly reorganized Hu Jingyi Security Division.

The troops came to Shangzhou and entered Hubei by boat using the Danjiang River.When there is no railway, using shipping is the best way, because it is the most capable means of transporting troops on a large scale.Ye Qi's Second Brigade and Second Regiment were the vanguard troops.

Tao Jun was very puzzled.

The entry into Hubei this time should not be to enter Hubei quietly, and then raid Xiangyang.Why so much fanfare, lest the opponent doesn't know the same.Ye Qi smiled and said: "It's okay to tell you. The No.18 Division originally stationed in Xiangyang went south to support Wuchang. This will make it more difficult for General Wan (Wan Xuancai) to attack Wuchang. With such a big fanfare, Tell them that the No.18 Division must return to defend Xiangyang. This will not only relieve the pressure on General Wan, but also allow the No.18 Division to run back and forth, increasing their fatigue."

"If they are prepared, won't it be difficult for us to attack Xiangyang?"

Tao Jun shook his head.

With such a big fanfare, the enemy must have been prepared.It will be very difficult to capture Xiangyang at that time.In Hubei, Wuchang, Jingzhou, and Xiangyang are the most important places.

Each unit has tasks for each unit.

In this way, it is not difficult for the security division to complete the task.

Ye Qi shook her head, and said: "You know what a game of chess for the whole country is, and a game of chess for the whole army. For our general, he never pays attention to the victory or failure on a battlefield, what he values ​​is the success or failure of the overall situation. Even if we fail to win Xiangyang, as long as General Wan wins Wuchang, then we will succeed in entering Hubei this time. You, don’t always look at the small interests in front of you.”

"Yes."

Tao Jun shrugged.

However, I was still a little unconvinced.If your own troops did not take Xiangyang, how would you distribute the credit after the war.

"Remember, we must make a big splash wherever we go, and let Division No. 18 know our movements."

"Yes."

…………

"Security Division?"

Zhong Xiang.

The main force of Wang Maoshang's No.18 Division has already arrived in Zhongxiang, and the vanguard has arrived in Shayang. At this time, I suddenly heard that the troops of the garrison division entered Hubei.This surprised Wang Maoshang.

"Where did you get the number?"

"Master, this is Duan Xun's newly reorganized unit in Shaanxi. It was reorganized by combining the First Division of the Shaanxi Army and the two mixed brigades under Duan Xun's command."

"One division and two mixed brigades?"

"Yes."

Wang Maoshang thought for a while and said: "Send an order to the troops, turn around and go back."

"Teacher, what about the order of the Lord Overseer? The order of the Lord Overseer is for us to go south to Wuchang."

"Humph."

As if he had heard something funny, Wang Maoshang sneered and said, "Look at the current situation. Cao Kun is so bold that he dared to attack Duan Hefei with his Zhili troops and Feng Yuxiang's No.16 mixed brigade. (Duan Qirui), I really don't know how he died. Duan Hefei had 20 troops around Beijing, and with other messy troops, it is estimated to be no less than 16. How many people does Cao Kun have, even if Feng Yuxiang .8 mixed brigades can have [-] to [-] people. Moreover, Duan Hefei’s troops all use Japanese weapons and are trained by Japanese instructors. Cao Kun’s Zhili troops are all messy weapons Both, where is Duan Hefei's opponent. Feng Hejian (Feng Guozhang) is already old, and the defeat of the immediate army is imminent."

Zhiwan war?
