Zhao Dongyun knows a little about his generals, and knows that when they report, these generals tend to avoid the important and report the good news without reporting the bad news. But these things are limited to small things, and those big and big things are definitely not daring to lie and falsify.
Fang Biyong is also puzzled. "Although there is only one brigade left in Yinfeng, the strength of the enemy is more than that of the ordinary HunChengLv. Although General Xu’s ninth division is a strong force of our army, it is probably not normal to say that one division took Yinfeng’s first line in three days!"
Yang De also frowned. "Could it be that Lu Yongxiang has realized that our strategic intention to surround them has shrunk its strategic defense line?"
"There is this, but this Lu Yongxiang is not easy to send. It is not impossible for the role to perceive our strategic intentions!" PricewaterhouseCoopers "But I’m more worried that the move by the straight army is so deliberate that there is no ambush behind it. Last night, we lost the trace of the second brigade led by Lu Yongxiang. It is possible that the brigade has already returned to Yinfeng in the south."
Many staff officers in Zhao Dongyun’s headquarters heard that Xu Bangjie had defeated the enemy’s first brigade in three days by relying on one division, and almost all of them felt incredible after taking the Yinfeng line. In their impression, even if it was a brigade, it would be difficult for them to take it with a large number of earthworks. It is estimated that it will take ten days and a half months for one division to fight slowly. If they want to take it for three days, it is estimated that it will be terrible for two divisions.
Huanxi Village is the most obvious example. Together, the third division of Chen Guangyuan and the tenth division of Lin Yong, more than 20,000 people launched a double attack on the first Huncheng Brigade of the straight army, but even though they saw the hope of victory on the first day, in fact, two days later, Fengjun still failed to completely defeat the first Huncheng Brigade and capture Huanxi Village.
After the Russo-Japanese War, Feng Jun entered and experienced several battles, which made many Feng Jun generals think that the contemporary war has been biased towards protracted war, and it is difficult to make a quick decision as before.
However, this overall situation, Xu Bangjie’s troops actually took Yinfeng in three days. I have to say that this move has greatly stimulated many generals in Fengjun, and also made many headquarters staff officers guess whether this is Lu Yongxiang’s conspiracy behind Yinfeng, which lies in the tens of thousands of main forces of the straight army.
Even Zhao Dongyun is a bit suspicious. He is not an arrogant person. He never recognizes himself. This era is beyond others, and he even denies that his troops can be natural enemies after a little training. He still knows that although his tactics and individual weapons are better than the historical Beiyang Standing Army, the actual combat effectiveness is not much different. The three key factors, namely, the quality of soldiers, the quality of officers and the number of guns, are half the weight. The difference between the two armies is not greater than the tactical advantage brought by mortars and light machine guns. It is called tactical advantage.
During the two wars, he never let his men play such nonsense as "less wins more" and "one-on-one". Like all military generals, he always tried to win the maximum number of troops and then a certain part formed an advantage over the enemy’s troops.
What kind of commander is a qualified commander? That is, he can create various opportunities for himself to form an advantage over the enemy’s strength, even if his overall strength is at a disadvantage, but he can also form a local strength advantage through various tactical arrangements.
People who think that less is better than more, and the odds are better than the odds, are visionaries and the reality is not great.
This time, Zhao Dongyun’s Huanxi Village was no exception, and he invested in the main force to form an absolute military advantage, and then he used this advantage to conquer Huanxi Village and then joined the ninth division to surround and annihilate the enemy forces in Yinfeng.
However, he didn’t expect that Xu Bangjie’s ninth division actually made a decisive breakthrough. Although there were still some doubts about this matter, no matter how the ninth division conquered the direct army position, it always conquered it. Now it created a huge opportunity for Fengjun, an opportunity to surround the first Hunchenglv of Huanxi Village and the second brigade of the first division!
"Let the ninth division let them move west quickly. In addition to paying attention to the possibility of reinforcing the enemy in Ninghe direction, the main force will immediately attack along the northwest direction!"
"Let the seventh Hunchenglv attack the Chahe area!" Zhao Dongyun didn’t hesitate too much after thinking for a moment. Although he still had some doubts that Yinfeng’s first-line victory was a direct ambush, he didn’t care so much. Now there is a great opportunity in front of him, even if it is a real trap. He is also ready to jump. He brought the main force of the military department to Tangshan, a small place where three divisions and three brigades gathered huge troops. Unless Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen and other troops flew to Tangshan overnight, even if Yinfeng’s retreat is a real trap, who has the ability to eat his tens of thousands of troops?
After Yang Deting’s strike, he was a little worried, "Is it too early for the Seventh Hunchenglv General Reserve of our army to enter the battlefield now?"
Zhao Dongyun, however, said, "Now, it is necessary to encourage the reserve team not only to guard against accidents but also to expand the results!"
In the face of this major decision, Zhao Dongyun has always been decisive and resolute, and his line has also brought confidence to the generals.
Zhao Dongyun transferred the Seventh Huncheng Brigade into the battlefield to try to expand the results, and then completely broke through from Yinfeng area on the downtown and surrounded Lu Yongxiang’s headquarters. When Lu Yongxiang heard that his first brigade was defeated, he fought in Tangshan for many days, even though the situation was tense these two days, Lu Yongxiang kept calm and commanded many troops.
However, after hearing that the first brigade was defeated, he was angry and lost his temper!
"What does he do with Zhu Panzao? With the support of two artillery battalions, he can be defeated so that I can kill him!" Lu Yongxiang flew into a rage in front of his officers in the first division and shouted out the words of cutting Zhu Panzao.
However, after the fire broke out, he also meditated. "How is the situation of Lao Bao in Huanxi Village?"
The old Bao in Lu Yongxiang’s mouth is Bao Guiqing, who, like many contemporary Beiyang high-level generals, is not famous in history. In 196 and 197, many of the Beiyang high-level generals were unknown to the later world, such as Wang Yingkai, Bao Guiqing and Xu Bangjie, and most of these people had the same characteristics. They were all born in the old armament and then were all core generals in the early Beiyang period.
Bao Guiqing has been in charge of the management, standardization and coordination of the first division of Zuozhen the first town of the Beiyang Standing Army. After the Republic last year, the brigade commander of the first Huncheng Brigade can see from his resume that this person, like Wang Zhanyuan and Lu Yongxiang, is the core general of Wang Yingkai’s hand.
Moreover, this person is actually a private person with Zhao Dongyun. When Zhao Dongyun was still in Baoding, this person and Cao Kun, Wang Zhanyuan and Zonglian were all guests of Zhao Dongyun. However, friends in Beiyang body don’t mean anything, just like Cao Kun’s body and Su brand are as deep as the law. Bao Guiqing’s body is also deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
If the scuffle between later generations and the early years of the Republic of China was a war between a group of Lu Shi classmates, then this Beiyang war is now a war between Tianjin’s old armament classmates, and most of them were friends in their early years.
Zhao Dong Yunhe and Wang Yingkai were also brothers Cao Kun, Zong Lian, Wang Zhanyuan and Lu Yongxiang, and they have been friends for many years.
However, this kind of personal right and wrong is not worth being friends in the past, but today it is already a war against each other.
"The first Hunchenglv is in a very bad situation, and there are many casualties. General Bao has repeatedly requested our department for reinforcements!"
Lu Yongxiang said, "the 11th division? What about the twelfth division? "
"At present, the eleventh division is intercepted by the enemy’s second cavalry brigade in Lizhuang area, and the twelfth division is also intercepted by the enemy’s fifth Huncheng brigade in Yahongqiao area."
"So they broke through the enemy blockade for a short time and came to reinforce?" When Lu Yongxiang said this, he didn’t wait for his staff to answer, but turned to look into the distance
At this time, there was a faint rumble of guns in the north, which was Huanxi Zhuang. At this time, his troops were less than three kilometers away from Huanxi Zhuang, and the frontline troops had already made contact with the defenders of Huanxi Zhuang.
Lu Yongxiang looked at the north and was vaguely happy for a long time before he said, "Let’s immediately turn around and March in the direction of Fengtai in the west!"
"Let the first brigade Zhu Panzao immediately retreat to Ninghe to defend!"
Lu Yongxiang led the second brigade three kilometers away from Huanxizhuang, and suddenly turned west, which made Huanxizhuang Bao Guiqing angry and shouted, "He is trying to run away from him. He is trying to throw us away!"
The news that the first brigade of Yinfeng Line was defeated can’t be concealed from Bao Guiqing, who also learned the news. At this time, seeing Lu Yongxiang’s move again, Bao Guiqing is very white. This Lu Yongxiang has already concluded that Huanxi Zhuang can’t keep it, and avoiding being panicked is already a breakthrough to the west.
He ran away from Lu Yongxiang, but he was happy in Bao Guiqing!
Chapter two hundred and sixty-five Victory
Chapter two hundred and sixty-five Victory
Lu Yongxiang can turn and run, but the first HunChengLv in Bao Guiqing can’t escape now. What? Because now the first Hunchenglv is fighting with the third division and the tenth division, the front line is crumbling. If the first Hunchenglv takes the initiative to retreat, unless the commander of the opposite Fengjun is a pig brain, this retreat will definitely become a line collapse.
In this case, it is almost impossible for Bao Guiqing’s first HunChengLv to break away from the front line and then retreat.
"He Lu Yongxiang is going to treat us as a broken force!" Bao Guiqing even looked at things before and after, but there was no way to change the facts.
