Beiyang reactionaries

Chase and flee.

One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, Hu Jingyi's troops chased the third division for more than seven hours.I started chasing at noon and continued until night.

The third division retreated hastily. After entering Yongnian, they were unable to organize a defense and continued to retreat.

However, at night, Hu Jingyi's troops stopped their pursuit after entering Yongnian.Hu Jingyi also followed the army all the way, and it was not until Yongnian that he let the army rest immediately.Then count the results.

"How's it going?"

"Great victory, sir, great victory."

When He Yaozu entered Yongnian, his face was full of joy.Not long ago, the situation was very unfavorable for the security division, and it was almost wiped out by Wu Peifu.Handan was in a precarious situation at that time, and Wu Peifu would lose Handan with a little effort.At that time, the powerful security division will really be wiped out by Wu Peifu.

But only half a day later, the situation completely changed.

Moreover, He Yaozu knew that this battle was very likely to be the fateful battle of the Zhiwan War.Because this battle defeated Cao Kun's most elite troops, Wu Peifu's third division, which was stronger than the ordinary four or five divisions on Cao Kun's side.

Defeating Wu Peifu's third division was almost equivalent to defeating half of Cao Kun's army.

So even more excited.

"How about it?"

"The specific battle results are still being counted. However, the number of captives reported by each unit is more than 5000. Commander, we have captured more than 5000 people from the third division, more than 5000 people. And from Handan to Linmingguan, Yongnian in Handan , there are countless troops from the third division, and the troops are still taking prisoners. According to our preliminary statistics, the third division has discarded more than 110 artillery pieces of different sizes and more than 300 machine guns. As for the rifles, it is still being counted. But look At least tens of thousands of rifles. Commander, the third division is collapsed, completely collapsed."

He Yaozu was already dancing in the end.

Captured more than 5000 captives, it was almost unthinkable.After all, it was Wu Peifu's most elite third division, and its combat effectiveness and fighting will were higher than that of ordinary troops.In the war between warlords, some troops obviously have 6000 or [-] troops, but the troops with hundreds of casualties are no longer enough.The surrender of the established system is commonplace.

But this is the third division.

Even more than 5000 prisoners came out.

Also look at how much weapons and equipment the third division discarded.It can be said that the third division lost more than half of its weapons and equipment.Such a third division has really collapsed, and there will not be many people who can run out with Wu Peifu.In He Yaozu's guess, Wu Peifu was lucky to be able to gather 5000 people in the end.If you are unlucky, you will be able to gather 4000 people.

"it is good."

Hu Jingyi was in a good mood.

This battle can completely reverse the situation in Zhili, and even this battle can determine the outcome of the Zhili-Wan war.

The two looked at each other, feeling very excited.Although this battle was able to win, the aviation team contributed a lot.But as the generals commanding the subsequent land battles, the two will surely remain in history.

As long as Duan Xun can enter Beijing, then the history of the Zhiwan War will definitely be a close-up.The battle to defeat Wu Peifu's third division is even more important.At that time, the names of the two people will appear in the history books.

Excited just thinking about it.

"Hurry up, send a telegram to the headquarters to let them know the result. Then ask the rest of the independent brigade to join the operation to capture the prisoners as soon as possible. Since the third division has been defeated, they cannot be reunited."

"Yes."

He Yaozu went out and immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters.

The benefits of wireless telegraphy are most evident in military operations.You can contact the rear command anytime, anywhere.When He Yaozu contacted the headquarters, Liu Xiang's headquarters and the independent division had already arrived in Handan non-stop.

No delay at all.

Even if you want to rest, you have to enter Handan to rest.

The atmosphere at the headquarters during the march was dull, because everyone knew that the current situation was unfavorable.Although a plane was sent to help out during the day, Liu Xiang was still worried.I am worried that Handan will not be able to keep it.

"Report."

"what happened?"

Liu Xiang stopped his horse and asked the messenger.

"The security division sent a telegram, a great victory on the front line."

"Great victory?"

Hearing the great victory, Liu Xiang immediately jumped off his horse, followed by several other personnel from the headquarters.

"Yes. In the Handan defense battle not long ago, Wu Peifu's third division was attacked by the air force twice in succession, and the whole division was in chaos. Seizing the opportunity of the third division's panic, the whole army attacked and gave the third division A major blow. Preliminary statistics show that the enemy suffered nearly 5000 casualties. Our troops captured more than 5000 people from the Third Division, and captured more than 110 artillery pieces, more than 300 machine guns, and tens of thousands of rifles. The troops are currently repairing in Yongnian, and other troops continue to capture prisoners The specific results will take time to be counted."

"This this……"

Liu Xiang looked at Duan Kan, who was also surprised.

Won.

Still such a great victory.

Of course, the two of them would not think that Hu Jingyi was falsely reporting the results of the battle. After all, the headquarters is very close to Handan, so they can find out if it is true after checking.If it is true, then the result of this battle is really incredible.

That was the third division, Cao Kun's most elite third division.

Wu Peifu's baby.

How many powerful enemies have been defeated in China for many years.But such a third division is so boastful.Just by listening to the battle report, one can tell how much the third division has suffered.

There were 5000 casualties and more than 5000 captured.

In such a fiasco, it is estimated that there are thousands of people missing, that is, after the troops broke up and could not be found.The third division has a large number of people, but there are only about [-] people in total.

It is impossible for all the troops to enter Zhili this time, and there are still two regiments of the third division in Xingtai.If what the battle report says is true, then it means that Wu Peifu's third division is really over.

"Do you want to report it to Wuchang?"

Duan Kan immediately asked Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang shook his head and said in disbelief: "Wait a minute, wait until we enter Handan. It's not that I don't believe Master Hu (Hu Jingyi) in this battle report, but there are many places in this battle report that I really can't understand. Let's confirm it first, and then send it to Wuchang. report."

"it is good."

"The troops marched in a hurry tonight and continued to advance to Handan. Rest in Handan."

297 Victory 2

"Since Wu Peifu has made a move, the situation in Henan is definitely not going well. Ma Lianjia, the new governor of Anhui, cannot be completely trusted. It seems that Henan's troops are empty, and the danger is not small. Cichen (Xu Yongchang), do you think so? The No.11 Army (Army Commander Xiong Qixun) can be sent north to Henan."

All other battles are going well.

But Wu Peifu made a sudden move, posing a great threat to the Zhili battlefield and even Henan.It should be said that Wu Peifu made a sudden attack. The time and method of his attack were never thought of by Duan Xun and Xu Yongchang, not to mention the frontline commanders.

so good.

Duan Xun felt tricky when he made a move, and it was not ordinary tricky.
