Back to the Republic of China as a commander

When the news of the deaths of Wanmuzhong and Wang Jinjing reached Feng Guozhang, Lao Feng went berserk, and he crazily reprimanded everyone standing in front of him, even Guo Songling was not spared.Everyone understands this very well. The battle has not yet started, and the troops in charge of the attack are still in the process of marching. As a result, the two generals were damaged. No one would think this is a good omen, let alone What about Feng Guozhang, who is under tremendous pressure from gambling?Gamblers are very taboo about certain things, don't touch your head, don't pat your shoulders, don't see books, bald heads, and nuns.And Zhao Zhao and the others killed the two generals in one go, this is not a question of touching the head, it is simply touching the tiger's butt.

Feng Guozhang lost his composure because of this. He roared angrily: "Tell Wang Zhanyuan that all the officers of the Second Division will be demoted and let them perform crimes and meritorious deeds. We must wipe out this group of rebels..."

In fact, before Feng Guozhang could speak, in all eyes, the moment Wang Jinjing's sedan chair was hit by a mortar, Zhang Jiarui, the head of the Sixth Beiyang Infantry Regiment, who was riding on the horse, was heartbroken.The division chief of staff and the brigade commander were easily killed by the enemy under his heavy protection. Zhang Jiarui would not be able to hang out in Beiyang's circle in the future, so he went crazy at that time.

Zhang Jiarui didn't care about the bullets fired by the youth army at all, he jumped off his horse, pointed at the ambush point of the youth army and shouted at his adjutant: "You, bring the guards up for me, no matter what, take the commanding heights. "

Then he yelled at the battalion and company level officers he could find: "I am finished, and you are also finished, I don't care how much you pay, organize people, go around from the two sides, this youth army must be wiped out, quick! Damn it, Shi Zhensheng, how did you open the way for reconnaissance? This has made me suffer."

It should be said that Zhao Zhao's thinking was very accurate. After the first round of strikes, he organized everyone to retreat.So the officers and soldiers of the youth army took up their weapons one after another, turned around and ran towards the top of the hill, as long as they ran across the ridge line, they would be safe.

However, the Beiyang soldiers are obviously very experienced. They did not collapse after being ambushed, but organized firepower and hit them head-on towards the mountain.All of a sudden, more than a dozen soldiers who were struggling to climb up were hit by flying bullets, and their lives were unknown.

Seeing the situation, Zhao Zhao immediately organized seven or eight soldiers who hadn't evacuated yet, and used a heavy machine gun to frantically shoot at the Beiyang Army's firepower point, knocking down four or five people with one shuttle, and the Beiyang Army's firepower was immediately reduced. small.

Zhao Zhao immediately got up and ran towards the ridgeline, when a sinister stray bullet hit his back impartially, the bullet entered from the back and passed out from the chest.Zhao Zhao immediately felt a chill all over his body, and the warmth of life was drained from his body.

Li Weidong, the clerk, was beside Zhao Zhao at the moment. He quickly helped Company Commander Zhao and ran away. The blood of Company Commander Zhao kept gushing out like running water in the Anjiang dormitory.

Seeing this, Wang Shuaiyu hurried to this side, shouting at the same time: "What's the matter with Company Commander Zhao? What's the matter with Company Commander Zhao?"

Li Weidong touched his nose and was out of breath. He shook his head sadly and told Wang Shuaiyu who was standing far away: Company Commander Zhao has gone.

Wang Shuaiyu was stunned immediately, and at this moment, boom, boom, boom, the artillery of the Beiyang Army opened fire.A shell fell less than one meter away from Wang Shuaiyu, and Wang Shuaiyu and three soldiers were killed on the spot.

Li Weidong saw this scene with his own eyes. He couldn't help the pain in his heart, his mind went blank, and then shouted hoarsely: "Party representative!!!"

Then the whole person rushed over, hugged Wang Shuaiyu's bloody body and couldn't help howling and crying.

At this time, the Beiyang soldiers had already started to charge, but Li Weidong didn't know it. He just kept crying while hugging Wang Shuaiyu. The life of the past year and more appeared in his mind, just like yesterday.

At this time, Zhao Yong, the second platoon leader who looked back to check the situation, rushed back. When he felt the pulse on the company commander's neck, it had stopped beating.Zhao Yong sighed, bent over and rushed to Li Weidong, shouting anxiously: "Li Wenshu, how is the party representative?"

Li Weidong didn't speak, still holding Wang Shuaiyu and crying.Seeing the situation, Zhao Yong stretched out his hand to touch Wang Shuaiyu's neck, alas, it's gone.He glanced at the Beiyang soldiers who were charging in the distance, and quickly patted Li Weidong on the shoulder and said, "Li Wenshu, go!"

Li Weidong ignored him at all, Zhao Yong pulled a few times without pulling, and in a hurry, knocked Li Weidong unconscious with a pistol, and then dragged Li Weidong across the ridge line with Cui Fei, Cui platoon leader and others who rushed over.

A week later, the youth army returned to this place again, but the corpses had been collectively disposed of by the Beiyang soldiers. Li Weidong and others failed to find the remains of Zhao Zhao and Wang Shuaiyu, so they had to use the clothes in front of them to build a tomb for them in their hometown. .This battle was later reported to the General Staff Headquarters and the Attendant Office by comrades from the Political Department of the Regiment Headquarters.After Wang Zhenyu learned of this story, he built the Martyr's Shrine with a stroke of his pen. Tens of thousands of martyrs including Zhao Zhao and Wang Shuaiyu were the first batch of martyrs to live in the Martyr's Shrine, and Yue Fei and the others were the second batch.

The Xiaotuanshan ambush was later very proudly included in the battle history of the First Division. In this battle, 120 people from the Beiyang Army were killed, including one lieutenant general and one major general; More than 103 officers and soldiers died. Among them, the company commander Zhao Zhao and the party representative Wang Shuaiyu died unfortunately during the retreat.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the fifth company did not know that they had killed two generals of the Beiyang Army, and their morale became low because of the loss of the company commander and the party representative.Several major officers and soldiers got together for a small meeting. According to the military regulations, Cui Fei was elected as the acting party representative and Zhao Yong was the acting company commander. That is to say, Zhao Yong will lead this team next.

Just when the youth army was having a great time fighting the Beiyang army in front, the Sichuan Beiyang army, which had lost its backup, made Cai E defeated. Cao Kunshuai's third division and other Beiyang remnants retreated to Hanzhong. On March 3, Cai E's guards attacked Longquanyi not far from Chengdu. Seeing that the general situation was over, Chen Huan, the governor of Sichuan, sent a telegram to announce the rebellion, and asked Yuan Shikai to abolish the imperial system and step down as soon as possible.According to reliable rumors, Yuan Shikai vomited blood and passed out after hearing the electricity. He was rescued with great difficulty, but there were two lines of old tears, and he was speechless.

At this time, there were two surprise incidents, one was the Kuomintang and the other was Beiyang.

First of all, in Shanghai, Zheng Rucheng, the guardian of Beiyang Shanghai and the commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, was not assassinated in November 1915 due to historical deviations.As a result, the old boy commanded the Yangtze River Fleet to attack the youth army's water transportation supply line for the second time, sinking ten large ships at one time, and severely damaged the youth army's logistics supply.The other time was unlucky, and was intervened by the British Yangtze River Fleet. As a result, they had to go back home to Shanghai to rest and attack again.

Recently, the front line of Tongling started, and Feng Guozhang has issued the latest order, asking Zheng Rucheng to attack again to cut off the water supply of the youth army.

At this time, Zheng Rucheng, who was worrying about how to deal with the British intervention, did not know that he had been targeted by the assassination king Chen Qimei.

On March 1916, 3, the Waibaidu Bridge across the Suzhou Creek on the Bund of Shanghai was bustling with people and vehicles. A luxury car kept honking its horn, separated the crowd, and hurried towards the bridge.Zheng Rucheng wore a white feathered gold hat, and a straight military uniform with many medals on his chest. The officer-like man sitting on the left said something to Zheng Rucheng, heaved a long sigh of relief, quite proud.There were many people crowded with cars on the bridge, and the cars slowed down and drove slowly on the bridge.Suddenly a bomb flew in the sky, with a loud bang, it blew up the rear wheel of the car, and the car came to an abrupt stop.When it was too late, a young man separated from the crowded crowd, grabbed the car window with his left hand, and fired several shots at Zheng Rucheng who was knocked down in the car with his right hand, and his chest burst immediately.Another officer in the vehicle was also shot twice.After a brief commotion, several bodyguards jumped out of the car following the car, but were quickly stopped by another young assassin and retreated quickly.

The two assassins did not flee immediately after their deed.The young man who shot Zheng Rucheng unhurriedly inspected the body of Baiyu Jinmao, ignored the body of the other seriously injured person, turned around and stood on the bridge of Waibaidu, and bowed his hands to the crowd: "I am Wang Xiaofeng. Yuan Shikai usurped power and stole the country, and made himself a monarchy. Zheng Rucheng helped Yuan do evil, hunted and killed our party members frantically, and killed them now to eliminate harm for the country." After hearing this, the people understood that the dead in the car were the highest military and political officials in Shanghai at that time, the Shanghai guard envoy, and the navy. General and Lieutenant General Zheng Rucheng.Just as Wang Xiaofeng scolded Yuan Shikai and Zheng Rucheng for their traitorous crimes, the Yinghua patrols on both sides of the bridge heard the sound and surrounded the two assassins.Wang Xiaofeng laughed heartily: "Our official business is over. If we wanted to escape, we would have left a long time ago. Now we are waiting for you to come, why don't you come up and arrest us!" After finishing speaking, the two threw away their pistols Take it easy.

After Zheng Rucheng was assassinated, the situation in Shanghai became more turbulent, and for the youth army, the biggest benefit was that a few days later, the Beiyang Yangtze River Fleet collectively announced that it had defected to Sun Yat-sen's Chinese revolutionary government.

Although Zheng Rucheng was only a naval general, his death deeply shocked the Beiyang generals, especially Feng Guozhang and others in the south. They actually felt lonely.This action by Chen Qimei dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Beiyang Army.

After Lei Zhenchun got the news, he decided to take retaliation. The first step in this retaliation was to order the Beijing Military and Political Law Enforcement Office to unconditionally launch the assassination plan against the Tiger Youth Army's supreme commander Wang Zhenyu, and execute it immediately. . .
