Beiyang reactionaries

"kindness."

Wu Peifu commanded the troops with ease.

Here Wu Peifu's third division has organized an army and began to attack Handan.Several tentative attacks were made to find the weakness of Handan's defense.While commanding troops to attack Handan, Wu Peifu was still commanding troops on other battlefields remotely.

Including Shandong side.

Be weak when you should be weak, and be strong when you should be strong.

war?

The current war between warlords is more about improving morale.Troops with high morale have a high chance of winning on the battlefield.Once some troops have their morale down, no matter how many troops there are, no matter how strong they are, it will be useless.

In this era, once the morale of many troops drops, it is easy to collapse.So Wu Peifu is very confident and believes that the current battlefield is still under his control.

"Da da da--"

"Master, a telegram from Master Wang Chengbin of the [-]th Division."

"say what?"

"Xingtai's defenses are tight and the troops are elite. Several attacks were ineffective, but more than 2000 casualties occurred. Teacher Wang asked the teacher to send troops to reinforce him."

"what?"

Wu Peifu, who had been calmly commanding the troops all the time, stood up abruptly.

Then grab the telegram.

After reading it once, Wu Peifu couldn't help but said, "Wang Chengbin is an idiot."

Wu Peifu would not get angry easily.

But this time I really couldn't bear it.Such a clever arrangement by myself gave the security division no chance to react.Now at this time, it is necessary to go all out and completely defeat the security division.

It's like attacking Linming Pass by yourself.

If Wu Peifu was ready to attack Linming Pass, there would never be so many casualties.But why there were more than 2000 casualties.It was because Wu Peifu couldn't give the security division time to react.

Obviously knowing that a strong attack would cause a lot of losses, but still chose a strong attack.

Only then will Linmingguan be taken in a short period of time.

The loss is big, but the result is also very good.It dealt a huge blow to the security division.But Wang Chengbin, an idiot, fought for such a long time and had more than [-] casualties, so he asked himself for help.

Damn.

Siege is just that.

The more you can't take down the city, the higher the morale of the army in the city will be.And that is Xingtai, if you can't win Xingtai, you will have a nail behind you.

Bad for the whole plan.

"Send a telegram to Wang Chengbin, telling him to take Xingtai within a day regardless of the cost."

"Yes."

Incompetent bungler.

If Wu Peifu hadn't looked at Cao Kun's face, he would not have wanted to join forces with these generals directly.These generals who are directly related are basically not as eye-catching as Wu Peifu.People like Wang Chengbin and Yan Xiangwen are all idiots in Wu Peifu's eyes.

"Send a telegram to Baoding, requesting the commander-in-chief to transfer the [-]th mixed brigade to the south."

"Yes."

Wu Peifu thought about it, and finally prepared to mobilize some elite troops to go south to join the battle.

Among Cao Kun's troops, Wu Peifu hated the most, but also recognized Feng Yuxiang's No.16 mixed brigade the most.This army has a large number of people, good weapons, and most importantly, strong combat effectiveness.Among Cao Kun's troops, it can be said that the only one Wu Peifu liked was Feng Yuxiang's.

Wu Peifu admitted this.

In addition to Feng Yuxiang's No.16 mixed brigade, another thing Wu Peifu admires is that Cao Kun'ai made Sun Yue's No.15 mixed brigade.The combat effectiveness of this army is also good, and Sun Yue can be regarded as a qualified general.

Therefore, Wu Peifu immediately decided to mobilize Sun Yue's troops to go south.

This force is one of Cao Kun's guard forces.

About half an hour after the person who conveyed the order left, he came to the headquarters again, and said with a rather ugly face: "Master, Master Wang Chengbin sent a telegram, saying, saying..."

"say what?"

"He said that with the current morale and strength of the troops, Xingtai cannot be taken down in one day. He asked the division commander to send him reinforcements."

"Damn."

Wang Chengbin is a bastard.

Wu Peifu was furious.Wang Chengbin, you are a big idiot, in a small Xingtai, there is only one brigade guarding the isolated city.Your 23rd Division, No.14 Mixed Brigade, I will give you back the troops of two regiments, with a total of more than 1 people, reaching about [-] people.

With so many troops, even a small Xingtai can't be taken down, and I still have the face to ask me to send reinforcements to you.Do you have dozens of cannons just for fun?Are so many of your troops all idiots?

But Wu Peifu couldn't lose his temper.

Because in terms of qualifications in the army, Wang Chengbin is no worse than Wu Peifu.Moreover, Wang Chengbin is a direct descendant of Cao Kun, so he may not be able to command him.

So Wu Peifu calmed himself down, and then said: "Send a telegram to Master Wang, the No. 20 Division and the No. 20 Fourth Division will be able to come to Xingtai within a few hours. When the time comes to reorganize the attack, within a day We must win Xingtai."

"Yes."

It's a big deal for me.

Wu Peifu can only think so.

Originally, if Xingtai had already been won, then the No.20 Division and the No.20 Fourth Division could come directly to Wu Peifu by train. It is estimated that it will take a day or two for all the troops to go south.But with Xingtai, everyone can't bypass Xingtai.

Wu Peifu stood up and looked at Handan, slowly making up his mind.

"Come on."

"Teacher."

"I want to go to the front line and ask all the officers on the front line to gather for me."

Handan.

Wu Peifu wanted to attack Handan by force.Although Wu Peifu knew that storming Handan might lead to great losses, Wu Peifu could not watch Handan still in the hands of the guards.In this way, Duan Xun's troops will continue to go north for support.

Not long ago, another army entered Handan.
