Beiyang reactionaries

"Yes."

What time is it now.

Duan Xun is about to fight Cao Kun, and it will be a war between the local government and the central government.As long as he defeats Cao Kun this time, he will have a chance to control the Beijing government.This is a big reshuffle.

What name do you want.

In previous wars, Duan Xun always needed status, because Duan Qirui and the Beijing government were on top of Duan Xun.But in this war, Duan Xun is fighting the Beijing government, and his purpose is to control the Beijing government.Fighting the Beijing government requires a name, but what kind of name is needed to fight other warlord forces.

Just expand your power.

So Duan Xun directly gave Li Jishen an order to let him handle it himself.You don't need to look for any name, just find the most suitable military opportunity to send troops, as long as you take Guangdong.

"How about the Hunan Army?"

"The attitude of the Hunan army is ambiguous. Cheng Qian and the others hope to use the current opportunity to counterattack Changsha and control Hunan. However, Tan Yankai and Zhao Hengti want to wait and see how the situation develops, and they don't want to fight us directly."

"It's really hard to judge whether it's an enemy or a friend."

A few months ago, Duan Xun wanted to win over people like Cheng Qian and Lin Xiumei.Because they were squeezed out by Tan Yankai, their strength in the Hunan Army was greatly reduced, and they lost important positions in the Hunan Army one after another.

Moreover, Tan Yankai at that time supported Cao Kun and opposed Duan Qirui.

Therefore, Duan Xun sent people to contact Cheng Qian and the others several times, hoping that Cheng Qian and the others could seek refuge with Duan Xun, but they have not been successful.

But it's only been a few months.

Now Cheng Qian and the others hope that the Hunan Army will attack Duan Xun's troops, take Changsha, and control Hunan.But Tan Yankai, who once supported Cao Kun, began to have an ambiguous attitude.Neither want to support Duan Xun, nor want to offend Duan Xun.

really.

In this troubled world, there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends.Everyone revolves around interests.Moreover, in this troubled world, people like Tan Yankai who have both sides can live longer and go further in the political arena.

"what do you say?"

"Teacher, the Hunan Army currently has about 5000 people. Although the weapons of the Hunan Army are outdated, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. During the war of protecting the law, the Hunan Army was much more tenacious than Lu Rongting's troops."

"kindness."

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Hunan Army cannot be said to be very strong.

But it is easy to defeat the Hunan Army, but it is not easy to defeat the Hunan Army. The Hunan Army is very tenacious.Although the weapons and equipment are not good, as long as they fight, they will not be defeated easily, and even the retreat is very orderly.Compared with Lu Rongting's troops, although their weapons and equipment are far better than those of the Hunan Army, they are easily defeated once they fight, and it is a big defeat.

Combat power is very poor.

"At present, the main force of the Hunan Army is in the Hengyang area. They go north to attack Xiangtan, Changsha, or choose to go west to attack Baoqing, or go south to attack the hinterland of Guangxi, which is very disadvantageous to us. Because as long as there is a war, these places are very likely to be attacked. There will be a shortage of troops. But I think the possibility of this is relatively low. Because Tan Yankai does not have such courage."

"Then what do you think..."

"Teacher, I think the most suitable way is to win Jiangxi."

"Jiangxi?"

"Yes. Teacher, Chen Guangyuan has been in Jiangxi for many years. He is a famous local military governor who only makes money and does not spend money. When Li Chun was the Jiangxi military governor in the early years, he did not manage the Jiangxi army well. This is even more so after Chen Guangyuan became the Jiangxi military governor. Now Chen Guangyuan Except for the No.12 Division of the Central Army and the Ninth Mixed Brigade of the Central Army, the other local troops are no different from militias, and their weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness are very poor. And even the No.12 Division and the Ninth Mixed Brigade , that was also spent on empty pay for many years, and the combat effectiveness was limited. At this time, we sent our Hubei troops to go down the south of the Yangtze River, first occupying Jiujiang, then attacking Nanchang, and quickly controlling the northern Jiangxi area. Then we will make peace with the Hunan troops and take down western Jiangxi and eastern Jiangxi, which can be effective The ground will deter the Fujian and Hunan armies so that they will not dare to move. If the battle goes well, they can even go south to control southern Jiangxi and enter Guangdong."

Jiangxi.

This is the place that Li Liejun single-handedly controlled after the Xinhai Year.Among the provinces controlled by the Revolutionary Party, Li Liejun's Jiangxi Army was powerful.During the second revolution, the troops of the revolutionary party were defeated one after another, and Li Liejun's Jiangxi army was the best performing one.The Jiangxi army built by Li Liejun was also a powerful army back then.

But after experiencing Li Chun and Chen Guangyuan in succession, the strength of the Jiangxi army is getting worse and worse.

Duan Xun looked at the map and hesitated, "Will we be flanked by the Fujian Army and the Hunan Army?"

"Teacher, Li Houji is a snake and a rat. He is usually very timid and only knows how to make money. But when he saw the little profit Cao Kun threw out, he didn't think about whether he could eat it, so he took the bait stupidly. Typical He is a person who forgets his righteousness for small gains, and cherishes his life when he does great things. As long as he sees our army is strong, Li Houji will never dare to act. Tan Yankai is not a courageous person."

"kindness."

Li Houji can't do big things.

Cao Kun's short title of tour envoy to Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, which was difficult to achieve, made Li Houji choose to betray the Anhui faction.Even if he really helped Cao Kun defeat the Anhui troops, so what?

After the victory, will Cao Kun really fulfill his promise?

There are so many direct generals under Cao Kun who need to be rewarded. You, a traitor from Anhui, still want to be a tour envoy to Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi?

As for Tan Yankai?

Such people can indeed live a long time, and they will surely rise in the political arena.But a person like him can't be a leader and can't do big things because he lacks courage.

At present, Duan Xun is very powerful, although Cao Kun disturbed the Anhui faction and caught the Anhui faction by surprise.But Duan Xun is still the most powerful one in China at present, and Tan Yankai really doesn't have the guts to start a war with Duan Xun.

"Okay. Let Wan Xuancai personally lead the Fourth Army (Army Commander Guo Songling), the 25th Division (Division Commander Tian Songyao), and the Water Police Force (General Captain Yu Jitang) to attack Jiangxi. It must be fast and win in a short time. North Jiangxi, East Jiangxi, West Jiangxi."

"Yes."

287 Battle of Guangdong 2

"Chief of Staff (Fang Dingying), telegram from Wuchang."

Li Jishen handed the telegram to Fang Dingying next to him.

Guiping.

Going to war.

Li Jishen came out of Nanning and set up his headquarters in Guiping.As long as the war broke out, Li Jishen's headquarters would immediately move forward to Cangwu.All for commanding troops at close range.

Li Jishen has only one goal now, and that is to win Guangdong.Therefore, after the outbreak of the Guangdong-Guangxi War, he immediately let several main forces approach Guangdong quickly.As long as the opportunity arises, attack Guangdong.

For the current Li Jishen, or for the current Duan Xun, it doesn't matter if it is Lu Rongting's troops, Chen Jiongming's Guangdong Army, Wang Wenhua's Guizhou Army, the Guangdong Yunnan Army, and Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang Army. enemy.

Anyone who stops Duan Xun from taking Guangdong is Duan Xun's enemy.

"That's great, so we don't have to worry about it."

Fang Dingying was overjoyed after reading the telegram.For these front-line soldiers, the biggest worry is that the rear interferes with the front military operations for political reasons.Before Duan Xun fought in wars, the frontline generals were often subject to many restrictions.Although Duan Xun will not interfere with the specific operations of the front troops, but because Duan Xun has to consider the impact, the Beijing government, and political reasons, sometimes he must restrain the front troops.Sometimes there are great opportunities, but the troops have to stop for political reasons and cannot continue to fight.

But this time is different.

Duan Xun's telegram was very simple, telling Li Jishen and Fang Dingying that the attack on Guangdong was only from a military perspective.As long as it is considered appropriate in the military, you can take action without worrying about any impact.

"Yes. Chief of Staff, you see when is the best time for us to act."

"After the Guangdong and Guangxi sides have won or lost in a certain road."

"Heroes see the same thing."

Li Ji smiled deeply.
