Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun snorted coldly: "Brother Dinghe, if you didn't say this, I wouldn't be so angry. But since I said this, I'll tell you directly. Ever since you played the banner of protecting the country, I never thought about it You fight. But your Dian army is too deceitful. If I don’t fight with you a few times and show you my strength, your Dian army will definitely think that I, Duan Xun, is cowardly. You Dian army will definitely think my soldiers Won't fight."

Duan Xun was immediately angry.

Even patted the table.This made Jiang Meiling baffled. What she said just now was fine, but she got angry no matter how angry she was.So he immediately said: "De Gong, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? The first echelon regiment of your Yunnan army took Syria. General Chengwu (Chen Heng) ordered me to go to the battlefield and take back Syria. I didn't want to fight with you at that time. So I sent someone to follow your first echelon. Liu Yunfeng contacted and had a good discussion with him, and everyone fired a few shots into the sky, and then my troops retreated. But do you know what he said at the time?"

"what?"

"I was angry when I said it. He even told me that he should either electrify against Yuan, or let me disarm and surrender. This is unreasonable. Since I left the military academy to lead troops, I suppressed bandits in the west of Henan, and later surrounded and wiped out Bailang. After a defeat. I brought tens of thousands of troops into Sichuan in a mighty way, and contacted you with good intentions, but your Yunnan army looked down on me so much. In this case, we will fight a good battle. As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty' Northern Wu and Southern Cai' (Wu Luzhen and Cai E). In the year of [-], I even heard that Cai E was a famous general of the Yunnan Army. I am a great general from the Beiyang Army."

Jiang Meiling frowned.

how so.Liu Yunfeng is too much.Asking the opponent to disarm and surrender is not to directly stimulate others.And when Duan Xun showed kindness, he simply pushed his friends towards his enemies.

Stupid.

Not only is it stupid, it's an insult to the military.

So Jiang Meiling hurriedly said: "De Gong, calm your anger, calm your anger. Commander Cai said it before I came. Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, perverted, and people betrayed relatives. Many people just don't say it, but in fact they are all against it. Commander Cai thinks you must be too." So, I hope to avoid conflicts with your department.”

"Brother Dinghe, you are here today. If someone else comes over, I'll just throw him out. But even if you come, I'll tell you directly. I don't have time for you Yunnan Army to fight with other troops. Reasonable. I will draw a line for you, as long as you stop here, then I will not take the initiative to attack you. But if you step on this line, then don't blame me for not giving face. "

Duan Xun went to draw a line on the map.

Jiang Meiling looked at the line drawn by Duan Xun, hesitated for a moment and said, "De Gong, if our National Defense Army doesn't take Luzhou, how can we fight the National Defense War?"

Duan Xun draws the line clearly.

Duan Xun didn't care how to fight in other places.But the National Defense Army cannot cross Naxi, and Naxi is Duan Xun's bottom line.Because Duan Xun has already won these places, it is absolutely impossible to hand them over to the National Defense Army again.

"Brother Dinghe, it's not that I am embarrassing you. I have been stationed in Luzhou since I entered Sichuan last year. I have designated this area as my operating site for half a year. As far as this place is concerned, I don't care if it is your Yunnan army or Guizhou army who come here. Army, or the Sichuan Army, or even other units of the Beiyang Army, as long as anyone wants this place, whoever is my enemy. You can go back and tell Cai E, as long as you don’t move here, I can turn a blind eye to your Yunnan Army’s activities Close your eyes. I can also give you an idea, your large army can go to attack Qijiang, and then enter Chongqing along Qijiang. I will definitely not care about it at that time."

"it is good."

Jiang Meiling nodded.

Because he saw that Duan Xun's attitude was very firm.

But Jiang Meiling sighed, because this was basically impossible.The first echelon regiment of the Yunnan Army won Syria and may attack Zigong.And Zigong's army is also Duan Xun's army.And if I stop in Naxi and Luzhou on my side, then this is not a stalemate here.

As for Qi Jiang?

It now seems that the Beiyang Army has not many troops there, only a mixed brigade of the Sichuan Army and a mixed brigade of Li Bingzhi.But who doesn't know that the reinforcements of the Beiyang Army are currently entering Sichuan at a faster pace.When the Dian army abandons Luzhou and reselects Qijiang as the target of attack, it is estimated that the reinforcements of the Beiyang army will arrive in Chongqing.Qijiang is equally difficult to attack.

Therefore, it is impossible for Cai E to agree.

fight?

Of course Jiang Meiling would not want to fight if she could.But if there is a real war, Jiang Meiling is not afraid.So he looked at Duan Xun, and said: "De Gong, I really don't want to see you on the battlefield. But if I have to, I will go all out."

"Your Yunnan Army will first defeat Zhang Jingyao's [-]th Brigade and Xiong Xiangsheng's Brigade."

Zhang Jingyao is really positive.

Duan Xun didn't expect that Zhang Jingyao was the most loyal among the Sichuan troops.After falling out with Duan Xun in Naxi, Zhang Jingyao didn't stay in Naxi much.After resting for a while, he immediately led his troops and Xiong Xiangsheng's troops southward, trying to defeat the national defense army that had entered Sichuan in one go.Even Zhang Jingyao wanted to lead his troops into Yunnan and destroy the Yunnan army, how loyal this is.

In comparison, whether it was Chengwu General Chen Heng or the other Beiyang Army generals Wu Xiangzhen, Li Bingzhi, and Duan Xun who entered Sichuan, their attitudes were very ambiguous.He doesn't want to fight with the National Defense Army.

Avoid fighting as much as possible.

"It's very simple."

Jiang Meiling said confidently: "That Zhang Jingyao really doesn't know how to fight. His thirteenth brigade is all from the north. They traveled thousands of miles to Sichuan, so they are not suitable for the climate in Sichuan. Besides, the roads in Sichuan are so bad, he even led troops to attack , will undoubtedly die."

"We'll talk after we call."

Duan Xun smiled.

In fact, Duan Xun agreed with Jiang Meiling's statement.Zhang Jingyao was really in a hurry.In this broken road in Sichuan, it is very difficult for troops to fight.Especially those heavy equipment is more difficult.Moreover, Zhang Jingyao's soldiers are all northern soldiers, which are very unsuitable for the current climate in Sichuan.

After all, it is already winter in the north, but the temperature in Sichuan is not low at all.Zhang Jingyao's troops were not only mostly from the north, but also entered Sichuan from Zhili. The climate changed so much that many soldiers were completely unsuited to Sichuan's diet, and many fell ill due to Sichuan's climate.

The troops should have been repaired and adapted to Sichuan.But Zhang Jingyao's troops fought a battle just after entering Sichuan, and now they are rushing southward in such a hurry, they are looking for a dead end.

"De Gong, then I will go back."

"it is good."

58 Blood-stained top wear

On February 1916, 2, Zhang Jingyao’s No.6 Brigade, the No.13 Brigade of Zhang Jingyao, the First Division of the Sichuan Army, and Xiong Xiangsheng’s Brigade of the First Division of the Sichuan Army, who rushed south to drive the National Defense Army out of Sichuan, were in Dazhoubao and Dong Hongxun, the third detachment of the Second Echelon Regiment of the Yunnan Army. Detachment, and Liu Cunhou's Second Division troops met.

Originally, Zhang Jingyao's troops were relatively strong, and their weapons and equipment were also very good. After all, they were troops of two brigades.Moreover, Zhang Jingyao's thirteenth brigade is a unit of the seventh division of the Beiyang Army, which belongs to the direct line of the Beiyang Army.The Thirteenth Brigade was born out of the Beiyang Army's Third Mixed Brigade, and the Beiyang Army's Third Mixed Brigade traced its origins to the troops developed from the Beiyang Army's Sixth Town, that is, the Beiyang Army's Sixth Division.Absolutely the successor of the official line of the Beiyang Army.

But when the two sides met, it was the No.13 brigade that collapsed.

Zhang Jingyao never dreamed of it.

The powerful seventh division, the No.13 Brigade built by myself was the first to collapse.It is because these soldiers are exhausted.I traveled thousands of miles from Zhili to Sichuan, and arrived in Luzhou without a moment's rest.

After finally winning a battle in Naxi, they didn't get any benefits, and they didn't make such adjustments.Zhang Jingyao took them away from Naxi again and went south to fight.

tired.

Only one word is tired.

Sichuan is different from Zhili and Henan where they stayed.The road here is difficult to walk, and the climate is very uncomfortable.In February, the Zhili area is still quite cold, but after entering Sichuan, the temperature is very high.

Zhang Jingyao's thirteenth brigade were all from the north, mostly from Zhili and Shandong, plus some from Henan.Therefore, after these northern soldiers entered Sichuan, they were not satisfied with what they ate and drank, and the climate was even more uncomfortable.Duan Xun's army has been in Sichuan for more than half a year, and the soldiers have not fully adapted to Sichuan, let alone Zhang Jingyao's army has just entered Sichuan for less than a month.And this month has been a non-stop march, how can these soldiers not be tired, it should be said that they are already quite tired.

Sichuan is currently fighting and fighting, most of the troops are playing, only Zhang Jingyao really wants to fight.Zhang Jingyao was really loyal to Yuan Shikai and supported Yuan Shikai as emperor, that's why he worked so hard.But Zhang Jingyao wanted to fight, but the people under him did not want to fight.

Therefore, after the two sides fought, they only fought for half a day, and no one thought that the No.13 brigade would collapse.

The Dian army was still very brave.

The tactics used by Dong Hongxun's detachment are very clear.Make a frontal aggressive attack, attracting Zhang Jingyao to deploy heavy troops to defend the front.But it was to find someone to attack from the flank.Originally, it was no problem for the two sides to come and fight, but when the flank was breached by the Yunnan Army, the front of the entire [-]th Brigade was shaken.

The first thing Dong Hongxun's detachment broke through was the cavalry regiment of Zhang Jingyao's [-]th Brigade.In order to enter Sichuan as soon as possible, Zhang Jingyao's troops basically did not bring heavy weapons.Although the cavalry troops followed in, after entering Sichuan, especially after going south to Luzhou, the raising troops did not have much effect.

Eventually they all became infantry.

This time when I met with the National Defense Army in Dazhou Fort, I was flanked by the National Defense Army and broke through the place guarded by the cavalry regiment.The flanking front broke through, and Zhang Jingyao's entire defense line was breached.

The soldiers of the Thirteenth Brigade ran away.

Very surprised.
