Beiyang reactionaries

The troops are not those local warlords who can withhold local tax revenue.

Had a hard time.

If you can become the guardian envoy of Xiangyang, the situation will be completely different.Such a position as a town guard is very important and has a very high gold content.If he can really become the guardian envoy of Xiangyang, the Eighth Division will be alive.

So Fan Shihong said: "General Guo, keep what you say."

"A gentleman speaks quickly with a whip."

"Okay. General Guo, don't worry. Our Eighth Division will issue a telegram immediately to support Duan Hefei."

Fan Shihong didn't want to fight.

The Eighth Division didn't want to fight, because the Eighth Division didn't recover at all.Now since Duan Xun's people don't ask the Eighth Division to fight, there is no problem.As for letting the Eighth Division attack Jingmen, Fan Shihong didn't care at all.

Wang Duqing has more people and strength.

Although the strength of the Eighth Division has been greatly reduced, it is still easy to bully the No. 20 mixed brigade.What's more, Duan Xun's fourth division has already gone north, and it will be easier for him to fight in Dangyang.

"kindness."

Yin Chengyu and Guo Songling only want Jingzhou.

Only when the channel of Jingzhou is opened, can the troops continue to move forward.Open Jingzhou, can go north, can go east, it is a military important town.So no excessive conditions were put forward.

Only the Eighth Division was required to leave Jingzhou.

Even after the Eighth Division gave up Jingzhou, they didn't care much about where they went.

Fan Shihong felt a little anxious, so after the talk, he left the command room of the Fourth Army.After Yin Chengyu and Guo Songling sent Fan Shihong away, Yin Chengyu said: "General Duan really agrees to appoint Wang Ruqin as the guardian of Xiangyang?"

Yin Chengyu was a little puzzled.

The places controlled by Duan Xun are now divided into military and civilian rule.Although there are also appointed guardian envoys, they are completely different from the current guardian envoys in other parts of the country.There is no right to meddle in local affairs.

Will Duan Xun break this rule in order to get Hubei?

Especially Xiangyang, which is an important place in Hubei that can be compared with Wuchang and Jingzhou.Guo Songling smiled slightly when he heard Yin Chengyu's question, and said, "I just said it casually."

"kindness?"

"Time is running out now. Where there is time to negotiate slowly with them, the real thing is to win Jingzhou as soon as possible. If the Eighth Division doesn't give way, it will be very difficult for us to break through Jingzhou without two or three days. It would be a waste of time. "

Yin Chengyu frowned.

He really doesn't understand such things.Since Duan Xun will not promise, how can such a thing be messed with.If you can't fulfill this promise in the future, how will you face Wang Ruqin's Eighth Division?

But since Guo Songling said so, Yin Chengyu didn't want to say anything.After all, Guo Songling is Duan Xun's favorite general. Compared with these big men in the Yunnan Army, they are far away from Duan Xun.

"Let the troops get ready, as long as the Eighth Division gives way, the troops will immediately enter Jingzhou."

226 The Battle of Hubei in Wuchang

"Brigade Commander Kou and Commander He, I am here to thank you two for my general."

"Don't dare to be General Wan's thanks. Wang Zhanyuan harmed our brigade commander, how can we obey him."

Wan Xuancai's large army has also arrived in Echeng.

Wan Xuan just played a trick, and it seemed that he was going to use the Yangtze River waterway to attack Hanyang, so Wang Zhanyuan gathered a large number of troops in Hanyang.However, Wan Xuancai's large army made a circle and came to Echeng by land.

In Echeng, only Kou Yingjie's Second Mixed Brigade of the Hubei Army and Lu Jinshan's Third Mixed Brigade of the Hubei Army stationed in Huanggang are easier to break through than Hanyang.It never occurred to Kou Yingjie and He Guoguang that the Second Mixed Brigade of the Hubei Army was waiting for Wan Xuancai in Echeng.Moreover, Kou Yingjie and He Guoguang were very fast, and they had already overwhelmed the Lu Jinshan Hubei Army's Third Mixed Brigade stationed in the Huanggang area.

It was a gift to Wan Xuancai.

Let Wanxuan be overjoyed.

Originally Wuchang had one division and three mixed brigades, plus Liu Zuolong's Hanyang garrison troops, the strength was not very weak.But Kou Yingjie and He Guoguang defected to Duan Xun and wiped out the Hubei Army's Third Mixed Brigade.

As a result, there are only the Second Division and the First Mixed Brigade of the Hubei Army in Wuchang, as well as Liu Zuolong's garrison in Hanyang.

Wuchang.

This is one of the most important goals of Duan Xun's troops entering Hubei this time.

"You two, please sit down."

"Yes."

After everyone sat down, Wan Xuan said with a smile: "You two, I have already sent a telegram to our general. Our general wants to reorganize the Second Mixed Brigade of the Hubei Army into the Second Mixed Brigade of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army. What do you think? how?"

"Yes."

Kou Yingjie stood up and took the order.

Kou Yingjie didn't care much about his name.As long as the original troops can be maintained, that's fine.

"Everyone, Wuchang..."

"Report-"

"Come in."

Currently in there, except for some generals from Wan Xuancai's upper reaches of the Yangtze River Guard Command, they are all the bosses of the various troops.For example, Tian Songyao of the First Mixed Brigade, Tang Shengzhi of the Sixth Mixed Brigade, and Kou Yingjie, former commander of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Hubei Army.And because he was meeting them, He Guoguang, the main figure of the second mixed brigade, was also here.

The one calling for the report was Wan Xuancai, the head of the Guard Brigade of the Guard Headquarters of the Upper Yangtze River.

Yueyang's status is very important.

Therefore, Wan Xuancai did not bring all the guard brigade to Hubei, but only brought a regiment of the guard brigade. The regiment leader was an officer from Sichuan who joined the Fourth Division when Duan Xun entered Sichuan and reorganized the troops.

It was just a small platoon leader.

I never went to a formal military academy, but joined the Sichuan Army at the age of 17, and studied a lot in the camp schools inside the Sichuan Army.Later, he went to the short-term training course of the Sichuan Army Military Academy established by Duan Xun, and he became the head of the regiment in just a few years.

Wan Xuancai admires him very much and always takes him by his side.

He is Rao Guohua, 24 years old this year.

"what happened?"

"Wang Ruqin, the commander of the Eighth Division, had a telegram in Jingzhou a few hours ago, accusing Cao Kun of lawlessness and confronting the central government. He expressed his firm support for the central government's suppression of Cao Kun's 'rebellion'."

On June 1919, 6, the second day after the Zhiwan War broke out, the first troops to defect came out.It was Wang Ruqin's Eighth Division of the Direct Line, who was the first to jump out and stab the Line Line troops.

Announced support for Duan Qirui and the central government's decision to counter the rebellion.He even accused Cao Kun of being a traitor and traitor during the telegram, accusing Cao Kun of opposing the central government and being a traitor to the Beiyang Army.Anyway, Cao Kun was severely reprimanded.

"it is good."
