blood feud

Because Bai Shujie pre-ambushed troops in advance, Zhao Meiyan's independent division's westward expedition campaign started simultaneously from the 130-kilometer front of Lingqiu, Fanzhi, Daixian, and Yanmen Pass. The three county towns and Yanmen Pass were captured at the same time. , the passage into Shanxi was opened.

All the troops participating in the war strictly followed Bai Shujie's order. This time, the sudden action only caused a small-scale conflict at Yanmen Pass, and all other places captured prisoners.

The two reconnaissance companies that had been ambushing in Yanmen Pass for a long time took down the defenseless Yangming Fort without staying in place for long.Then the cavalry regiment entered Yanmen Pass, and they attacked westward without stopping.After grabbing Fengya and Yemaliang, they captured Xuangang Town, which was unguarded, and went straight to Ningwu County.

There was no bloodshed along the way, and the cavalry regiment had occupied Shenchi County the next afternoon.Yan Xishan didn't believe it after receiving Bai Shujie's plain code power-on. When he started to confirm the information, Zhao Meiyan's main force had already entered Yuanping County, and Xinzhou had also fallen.

At this time, the Jin army was all on the periphery, and there was only one regiment in Taiyuan City.The nearest reinforcements are Taigu and Qi County in the south of Taiyuan City, and it is already too late.

Yan Xishan, an old man from Taiyuan, sent scouts to make a final confirmation and found the banner of "Rehe Provincial Armed Escort Company".

"It turns out that's the case, so it doesn't matter." Yan Xishan finally felt relieved: "What are you reporting indiscriminately? This is just a company that came from Rehe. It's not normal for people to pass by here for business. It seems to scare you all into a panic. Order the Jingle garrison to put down their supplies and leave the county immediately to avoid misunderstandings."

The final result did not disappoint Yan Xishan. The "Rehe Security Command Armed Escort Company" was stationed outside the city. Their "escorted personnel and supplies" only stayed in the city for an hour and a half before crossing the city and going straight to the city. Going to Kelan County, we really have to cross the Yellow River.

It was at this time that the old man in Taiyuan sent a plain-coded telegram. The most important meaning was that he hoped that Bai Shujie would take advantage of the relationship between the two families to come forward to coordinate, so that everyone could talk about it and let the past go.

There is no way, this battle cannot be fought.

The "Armed Escort Company" actually has 41 Meiji 75-style 6mm cavalry field guns!Although the cannon was not fired, even the gun cover was not completely untied, only the muzzle was exposed.

But this shows that Bai Shujie didn't lie, he didn't come here to be an enemy, but a real excuse.Moreover, Bai Shujie got a lot of good things from the Japanese, as long as he is a soldier, he knows it.Besides, Yan Xishan and Kenji Doihara are still alumni, so they know Japanese things too well!

Bai Shujie said that there are more than 1 "rabble" in the "Little Junior Sister" guards, only a fool would believe it!Will the people who come out of the Jehol Front Army be some kind of "crowd"?

A so-called "escort company" has 800 people and has 1 artillery pieces.According to this establishment, how many cannons will the other "more than [-] mobs" have?

That's why the old man in Taiyuan said, "There is no good player in fighting each other. It hurts people and loses money." This sentence is absolutely true. When you blasted out six artillery pieces in one round, you killed and injured many people, and you also lost yourself. Hundreds of thousands of ocean shell money.

Everyone is a businessman, so it is better to do less of this kind of business that does not make money on both sides. The key is whether the third party will agree to make a deal and break it up?So the old man in Taiyuan needed Bai Shujie to mediate and see the direction of the wind.

Bai Shujie had already said in the telegram: I don’t think I’m farting when I speak.That being the case, I have no choice but to act as a "media protector" and stand up and say a few words.

"Declaration of the Rehe Police Headquarters on the Shanxi Dispute":

"I was surprised to hear that some disputes have occurred in Shanxi in recent days, which have had a great impact. The Rehe Police Command expressed serious concern and anxiety. At the same time, I hope that all parties will try their best to exercise restraint, so as not to expand ordinary disputes and cause irreparable losses."

"In today's world, wolves are looking around, waiting for opportunities to hurt people; foreign enemies are watching, and the heart of China is not dead. All my patriotic compatriots should share the same hatred and unite to defend the Chinese nation from aggression."

"The Rehe Garrison Command has always advocated that all forces should abandon their prejudices and properly negotiate strategies to resolve foreign aggression. Instead of fighting in the same room and giving foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it. Here is a warning to all traitorous groups, don't make mistakes!"

"In order to further promote the prosperity of the market in Rehe Province, the armed escort company is preparing to further expand the market. In the next period of time, it will try its best to expand the business routes of Fushi (now Yan'an), Luochuan, and even Xi'an."

"In order to prevent the thieves from swarming here and causing the spread, the Armed Escort Company of Rehe Province decided to strengthen the security work here. It also appropriately increased weapons and equipment to ensure safety. 1 machine gun, 1 75mm field guns, 24 75mm mountain guns, 24 twin anti-aircraft machine guns."

"I hope that all forces will be careful not to stray into the attack range, which will cause irreparable regrets. Armed escort companies travel long distances, and it is not easy to replenish ammunition. If someone intentionally causes losses to our side, the Rehe Garrison Command will absolutely not I will just sit back and ignore it! I sincerely hope that all parties will understand.”

The current situation declaration of the Jehol Security Command is completely a threat.

There is only one object of threat: the southern government, and incidentally, the Northeast Army entering Shaanxi.The destination of the threat is Fushi (Yan'an) and Luochuan, which are the former enemy headquarters of the Little Sixth Marshal.

Bai Shujie deliberately announced all the heavy weapons of Zhao Meiyan's independent division, which is a gesture: I'm not afraid that you will know!Come here if you are not afraid of death, whether it is on the ground or in the sky, just come.

The first person to be shocked was neither Yan Xishan nor Jiang, but the little six-son marshal who was being inspected by Fu Shi!

Although he is a descendant of a bandit, Xiao Liuzi feels that his bandit spirit is far inferior to that bastard Bai Shujie.

Now that Bai Shujie jumped out and said that he had his eye on the boundary between Fu Shi and Luo Chuan, he would definitely be able to do a lot of despicable and shameless things.Only you can't think of it, there is nothing he can't do.

For a bastard like Bai Shujie who is looking for trouble and causing trouble everywhere, the young marshal of the little six sons feels that he doesn't need to have the same knowledge as the other party, and that would be a loss of his identity.At the same time, I also think that the current Fu Shi and Luo Chuan have become tasteless and may cause unnecessary accidental disputes.

That's right, Bai Shujie, that bastard, often brings up some inexplicable "accidental disputes" for you, making you sick as if you ate a fly.

Forget it, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.With the order of the young marshal Xiaoliuzi, Wang Yizhe immediately led his troops to set off, retreated 110 kilometers to the south, and then set up camp in Tongchuan.

It is said that because Yan Xishan provided free food and grass along the way, Zhao Meiyan arrived at Baode County on the east bank of the Yellow River seven days later without firing a single shot.

The head of the cavalry regiment rushed over to report: 2 people have gathered food and grass for a month in the county town, and a wooden boat has been gathered on the riverside, and the boatman is complete, saying that it is specially used to send troops across the river!The 1st Battalion of the Cavalry Regiment had crossed the river and established a foothold in Fugu County.

Zhao Meiyan nodded, and then said to the communication company: "Send a telegram: Our department has safely arrived in Baode County on the east bank of the Yellow River, and is crossing the river into Fugu County. My mother's home is right in front of me, please rest assured, master and brother. I haven't been home for many years. Now I don’t know the way anymore, I hope my mother’s family will come and lead the way quickly! Political commissar and division commander of the Xiongxian Independent Division of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army: Zhao Meiyan.”

It wasn't until this time that Bai Shujie let go of his hanging heart: Before Liu Zhidan's Red Army had time to cross the river, Zhao Meiyan had crossed the Yellow River westward and blocked his way!

Back then, a tiger general did not die in Sanjiao Town, this is the real reason why Bai Shujie made so many plots!

Liu Zhidan was originally named Liu Jinggui, styled Zidan. Born on October 1903, 10 in Jintang Town, Baoan County (now Zhidan County), Shaanxi Province.

In the autumn of 1925, he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy and was a top student in the third period.After graduation, he served as the political director of the Fourth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army and participated in the Northern Expedition.

In March 1936, Liu Zhidan led the Red Army to participate in the Battle of the Eastern Expedition and defeated the enemy in Northwest Shanxi. On April 3, he died heroically in the battle in Sanjiao Town, Zhongyang County (now Liulin County), at the age of 4 age.

Bai Shujie always believed that if a general like Liu Zhidan died on the anti-Japanese battlefield, it would be a worthy death.If he died in battle in Sanjiao Town just like this, it would be called death without peace.

Zhao Meiyan didn't know Bai Shujie's real purpose, but the artillery regiment and the supply unit were the top priorities of this Western Expedition. She always remembered Bai Shujie's instructions: "Everything can be thrown away, but it is not at the last moment. Artillery regiment and supply battalion Can not give up."

Now that she was about to leave Shaanxi Province, she was worried that Yan Xishan would turn his back on his promise, so she ordered the air defense battalion to build a position west of the Yellow River to prevent the enemy from attacking the artillery regiment.

This is the first time that the air defense battalion has been in full swing during the entire Western Expedition:

This air defense battalion was organized in strict accordance with the standards of the Air Defense Battalion of the Guard Regiment of the Jehol Front Army Command, and it was organized in four or four.The whole battalion has a guard platoon (70 people), four air defense companies (226x4), and a security company (226 people), a total of 1 people.

There are 3 double-linked Maxims in each squad, 12 in a platoon, and 48 in a company. The entire air defense battalion has 132 dual-linked anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, which is equivalent to 264 Maxim heavy machine guns.

Such a spectacular scene made Zhao Meiyan's heart tremble, and it also made the Jin army on the other side of the Yellow River sweating coldly!

It was three days after the cavalry regiment, artillery regiment, air defense battalion, and supply battalion had crossed the river.Zhao Meiyan left an air defense company to cover the infantry regiment across the river, and ordered the cavalry regiment to speed up and occupy Shenmu and Yulin according to Bai Shujie's order.

On March 1936, 3, all of Zhao Meiyan's independent divisions entered Yulin.In the evening of that day, Liu Zhidan led a guard company and finally came here to shake hands with Zhao Meiyan, and the Western Expedition came to an end.

On March 1936, 3, two months earlier than in history, the Northern Shaanxi Red Army announced that it would retreat to the west of the Yellow River, and the Eastern Expedition Campaign ended.

On March 1936, 3, Zhou Weiren decided to negotiate a truce with the Marshal Xiaoliuzi.

In view of Bai Shujie's coming to "open business routes", Yan'an has actually become an empty city without an army. Nine months earlier than in history, the Northern Shaanxi Red Army entered Yan'an, and Luochuan became the "free trade" of the Northern Shaanxi Red Army and the Northeast Army. district".

On March (1936), Zhao Meiyan received an order from the central government to report to Yan'an.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
