Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"How is this possible, how is this possible..." Today's Huairen Hall is very strange, the generals standing in a room full of them are silent, while Zhang Zuolin, who is sitting in the hall, is turning over and over again with just such a sentence .

Yang Yuting, who had just returned from negotiations in Shanghai, stood in the front row, looked at Zhang Zuolin, who was already a little crazy, and shouted tremblingly, "Shuai Yu, don't scare us?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zuolin turned his head and asked Yang Yuting again: "Is it true? Is it true?"

Although Zhang Zuolin was small, when he was angry, everyone present was not afraid. All the generals unconsciously lowered their heads, their eyes were on their toes, and they didn't dare to look at Zhang Zuolin at all.

"It's true, Shuai Yu," finally Yang Yuting summoned up his courage and answered.

Only then did Zhang Zuolin lean on the nanmu chair like a deflated ball, and looked at the exquisite patterns carved on the beams without saying a word.It took a long time before he waved his hands to let the generals back down. Everyone present could feel the feeling of ashes. Zhang Zuolin lost his composure very rarely.

There is nothing more sad than death, and Zhang Zuolin is not the only one who is sad.More than a month ago, who wasn't eager to enter the customs to fight for world hegemony?In the beginning, it was indeed smooth sailing. Taking advantage of the competition between the straight line and the Anhui line, the fisherman of the Feng line immediately benefited, and successively won Chahar, Suiyuan, Zhili, Shandong and other North China universities. In some areas, the army has also gathered from 20 when it entered the customs to the current 70.The prosperity of the Beijing-Tianjin area also confused the generals, and unification of the country by force became their natural goal.Fengjun screamed everywhere from top to bottom, as if no one in the world could resist their footsteps of Fengjun's conquest.

However, in Zhang Zuolin's heart, he was faintly worried about the youth army in the south, because this army was too weird.You must know that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, I had never heard of the new army in Hunan having any special titles. Before the War to Protect the Country, they were all respected by Beiyang.But Wang Zhenyu and his youth army were such a weirdo. I don't know how he rose to the top, let alone why his strength is so amazing, even Feng Huafu is no match for him.What's more terrifying is that later on, I don't know how that brat Wang Zhenyu came to be so courageous. He even dared to organize hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops to fight against the big powers in Europe. The most bullshit actually won the battle, and now he is a little Japan. They are very taboo to them.Even why Duan Qirui, the Beiyang tycoon, expanded his military force crazily, and why the Fengjun entered the customs in such a hurry, it was because of fear.All fools know that once the expeditionary force that frightened the Germans in Europe returns to China, it will not be a question of who will unify this country, but when will it be unified by Wang Zhenyu.Therefore, whether it is Duan Qirui, Zhang Zuolin, or the low-level Wang Jingwei, they all reached an amazing agreement on this point, that is, they must do everything possible to bring Wang Zhenyu down before the expeditionary army returns to China.

It is for this reason that Zhang Zuolin turned a blind eye to Zhang Zongchang, the military leader under his name, who was overly supporting the Japanese.It is for this reason that Zhang Zuolin, who has always been shrewd, dares to jump into it without hesitation even though he knows that Nishihara's loan is a trap.It was for this reason that Feng Jun, awed by the youth army's reputation for being good at fighting, dared to challenge so brazenly.

All of this was simply a gamble, but the result of the Xuzhou battle was unceremoniously placed in front of everyone.It took only three hours for the youth army to frantically defeat the attacking force composed of more than 2 elites of the Zhilu coalition forces.What's more terrifying is still to come. Although the youth army did not take advantage of the momentum to fight back, they fully demonstrated their artillery level.Successfully destroyed a heavy artillery position of the Zhishan coalition forces, 48 of the 33 heavy artillery were destroyed, and 210 three Japanese retired artillerymen were destroyed.Zhang Zongchang was so frightened that he withdrew his heavy artillery overnight, and the Zhilu Allied Forces, which were full of morale and high spirits, were also frightened by the tragic situation ahead. That shitty elastic defense line was simply a slaughterhouse. Array is also dead fast.In a word, no matter how much money Zhang Zongchang gave or how much he threatened, these soldiers would not go to die again.

Faced with this unprecedented situation, all Zhang Zongchang can do is withdraw his troops, and this action must be quick, because God knows when the youth army will counterattack.

Almost on the first day, in the direction of Henan, Sun Liechen's army quietly crossed the Yellow River. As a result, they summoned the Lu Diping Department of the Second Army of the Northern Expedition to beat them up, and lost 7800 people in the formation.After Sun Liechen's attack failed, he heard the news that Zhang Zongchang had suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle in Xuzhou. He immediately became honest, dismissed all unreasonable thoughts, ordered his troops to defend on the spot, and did not dare to fight the youth army. Don't come and beat yourself is enough to beg grandpa to sue grandma.

As soon as the results of the Battle of Xuzhou came out, the whole of China and even the whole of Asia caused a sensation.This is not to say that no one is optimistic about our youth army, but that no one would have thought that the victory of the youth army would come so quickly, so quickly.In less than a day, the 20 Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces of Zhang Zongchang, who had previously declared aggressively to attack Nanjing, retreated unceremoniously into Shandong after being hit hard. It is estimated that even if Zhang Zuolin dismissed him, he would not plan to come out to fight the youth army again.

In Nanjing, the rapid victory of the youth army immediately dissipated the cloud that had shrouded the city. The rich and powerful who were worried that the army would approach the city and prepare to pack up their things and flee were now at ease.The youth army guarding oneself is actually so strong, so what else is there to worry about and be afraid of?

Almost overnight, the Northern Expedition to Beijing, the voice of eliminating the Feng faction came alive on the paper, and major newspapers and magazines praised the major victories of the youth army in Xuzhou and Zhengzhou.And Fengjun, a corrupt, reactionary and dark devil regime, is also regarded by reporters as the next target that should be overthrown. Now it is the turn of Beijing and Tianjin.

Although Zhang Zuolin was very heartbroken and sad, he still accepted Yang Yuting's suggestion, taking advantage of the fact that the situation was not completely corrupted, he seized the time to get what he didn't get on the battlefield through negotiations.Although he knew that this hope was very slim, Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to do so when he saw those subordinates who had no fighting intentions. He even told Yang Yuting that it would be no problem to send the name of the central government out if necessary.

Just when all walks of life and all aspects of society were eagerly looking forward to Wang Zhenyu's command to go north, Wang Zhenyu tried his best to persuade his confidants and generals to give up their plan to go north in the office of the Standing Committee Building of the Tianyuan Local Military Commission Building in Wuhan.

"I know you don't understand, and I know that you want to complete national reunification, but please keep a clear head and continue to support me. As for the reason, I can tell you clearly that my thinking is the most correct, At least it looks like this for now.” Wang Zhenyu brainwashed everyone present in a very confident tone.

"Let's talk about our own difficulties first. This time, I believe that Fengjun's fighting spirit has really collapsed. But think about it carefully, why did they collapse? They let us use advanced tactics to defeat us when they attacked us." Yes. In fact, in terms of equipment alone, they do not lose to us, and even in terms of fighting spirit, they do not lose to us. Their failure is the same as that of the Boxers back then. They did not lose in courage, but in ignorance. On the contrary, our current Is there any certainty of victory if we attack them with military force? I don’t think so, and at the same time we have to risk the risk of Japanese interference.”

Walking around the desk, Wang Zhenyu leaned his butt on the table, and continued: "But if you want to complete the unification, if you are afraid of sacrifice, then don't talk about the unification issue. The reason why I don't let you continue to go north is because The most important thing is that I have a big chess game to play. Those present are all decision makers of the Youth Army, so I don’t have to hide it from you. Not only do I not plan to attack Beijing in the north, but I even plan to let Zhang Zuolin and his gang of Northeast bandits continue to fight against it. In the name of the central government, the territory in Shandong is also occupied by them.”

There was an uproar in the hearts of the generals, but they did not dare to say it because of Wang Zhenyu's long-standing prestige, but their eyes were full of doubts when they cast Wang Zhenyu.

"Hehe, there are three reasons here, and everyone must keep it secret after hearing it. The first is that the war in Europe is almost the same. According to the latest news, after the Yankees joined the war, the German army is now only able to parry. The battle front has advanced to the vicinity of the Ruhr Industrial Zone, which was unimaginable in the past, so Germany's defeat is inevitable. But after the defeat, our victorious country has a lot of problems to deal with, such as unequal treaties, Shandong issues, etc. Wait, wait, these problems are not so easy to solve. If they are not solved well, they will be the fate of the country. So we don’t want the name of the central government. Whoever likes to be insulted will go to the false name. The second point is the Russian Revolution , If my analysis is correct, don’t look at the fall of the Tsar, but the Russians’ troubles have just begun. Think about it carefully, in the past few decades, who among the great powers has taken the most land from us is not someone else. It’s the Russian idiots. Little Japan still needs to show face. These idiots are notoriously shameless, especially the one named Putin... Ahem, it’s too far away.” Wang Zhenyu suddenly remembered the three generations who played crazy games in China in later generations The leader's Putin is not yet born at this time, so he quickly shut up, mother, there is a chance to kill all the Russians, let you putin stillborn, alas, Ah Q is here again.

"We don't want the hypocrisy of Confucianism. We just want to take advantage of people's illness to kill people. We must take back what is ours. Tibet, Xinjiang, Outer Mongolia, and Central Asia. If these places are not taken back at this time, it is estimated that it will take another 100 years. You can’t take it back. Everyone must remember that we are engaged in politics, and what we are playing is to fight for power and profit, but we must also have a patriotic heart and a basic conscience. The interests of the country are above everything else, and the interests of the nation are above all else. .”

"The interests of the country are above everything else, and the interests of the nation are above all else." Yang Wangui took the lead in shouting, and the dissatisfaction in the general's heart was reduced a lot. . .
