Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Even if the Italian army is active, it will be more than twenty days later. At this time, the situation in China has changed too quickly. Feng Yuxiang fought hard in Henan and basically eliminated the elite Fengjun troops in Henan. The Fengjun army began to withdraw.  Addicted, the latest chapter of the wealthy bride is too sultry.  At this time, Jiang Jieshi suddenly sent an order to the Allied Provincial Army, asking the Allied Provincial Army to go north and enter Henan.  What does this mean? The main force of the Feng Army was defeated by Feng Yuxiang. Why did the Allied Provincial Army enter Henan to fight?  ¡°Chiang Price Shih seems to have done this kind of strange thing in history. Feng Yuxiang¡¯s troops approached Beijing and Tianjin, but in the end it was Yan Xishan who got these two cities.  Feng Yuxiang had hundreds of thousands of troops, so how many troops did Yan Xishan dispatch? The answer is two people.  One of them is Fu Zuoyi, and he is a prisoner.  After Yan Xishan announced that he would join the Northern Expeditionary Army, it was not like fighting with Fengjun, but Fengjun still invaded Shanxi's territory. As a result, after a fierce battle, Fu Zuoyi was captured and taken to Tianjin.  When the Northern Expedition was victorious, Fengjun decided to withdraw from the Pass. As soon as they evacuated, Fu Zuoyi announced the rescue of the Tianjin garrison commander, and Tianjin bizarrely became Yan Xishan's territory.  But since then, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan have become separated.  Now that Feng Yuxiang has completed almost all military operations in Henan, he allowed the United Provincial Army to enter Henan. It was simply to sow discord between the United Provincial Army and Feng Yuxiang.  Moreover, Jiang Xiashi probably had another deeper meaning, which was to give an explanation to the Guangdong revolutionary government. Because the Guangdong government was under pressure from the British, they hoped to resolve the Jiujiang incident peacefully. They were worried that if the situation was allowed to develop step by step,  It will involve the whole of China.  The British were hoping that the Guangdong government could transfer the Federation Provincial Army away from Jiujiang. Jiang Xiashi's move was an explanation to the Guangdong government and an answer to the British. At the same time, he wanted to stumbling on the Federation Province, because no matter it was  Whoever monopolizes the north, the United Provinces or Feng Yuxiang, would not be at ease to Jiang Xiashi.  After discussion, the Allied Provincial Army decided to go north.  Needless to say, those officers from the United Provinces.  The warlord mentality is serious, and it would be better to have more territory. Zhao Zeyong is not sure how many officers now hope that the United Provinces will come forward to unify the world, rather than under the banner of the Northern Expedition. In their eyes, Jiang Xiashi is the same as Zhang Zuolin.  Still a good shot.  As for Zhao Zeyong himself, he doesn¡¯t care too much about territory. In the Republic of China era, territory was very important, but the prerequisite is that you have the strength to protect the territory. Just like Feng Yuxiang was very complacent a year ago.  He led his troops to station in Beijing. However, the National Army he formed in an instant almost collapsed. If it weren't for the support of the Soviets and the sudden start of the Northern Expedition, his troops might really disappear from now on, and he, Feng Yuxiang, would also be on the Chinese stage a few years earlier.  .  So Zhao Zeyong¡¯s intention to enter Henan was not to grab territory.  It is to speed up the process of the Northern Expedition. The people who will suffer the most from the prolongation of the war will always be the common people. The sooner the war is ended, the sooner the people can live a better life, and the sooner China starts construction, the sooner China will become a world power.  One day begins.  Li Zongren has always been good at deceiving people, especially other warlords, such as Tang Shengzhi.  Li Zongren went north.  Then Tang Shengzhi also followed him north.  Prior to this, Tang Shengzhi once again had a quarrel with the United Provinces because of the Anqing issue.  As the capital of Anhui Province, Anqing not only has an important geographical location, but also a very important economic status. All large and small ships that control the Yangtze River pass through here, and it is the best place in Anhui's economy.  And together with Huizhou, it is the most important place in Anhui and the birthplace of Huizhou merchants.  Without this place, there is no doubt that Tang Shengzhi would have one less place to exploit.  ¡°Besides, Anqing is the provincial capital of Anhui.  If you can't take Anqing, how can you talk about taking Anhui?  The United Provinces had promised him before that after taking Anhui, they would let him take charge of Anhui's military and civil affairs.  However, when Tang Shengzhi spent all his efforts to capture Hefei, eliminate Sun Chuanfang's main force in Anhui, and almost recover the entire Anhui, the United Provinces refused to hand over Anqing.  The explanation of the United Provinces was that Anqing was geographically important and was a must-pass for the great powers on their way up the Yangtze River. At this time, the United Provinces were at war with the British, and it was not appropriate to hand over Anqing to Tang Shengzhi at this time.  To put it bluntly, Anqing borrowed it from Tang Shengzhi from the province, but Tang Shengzhi always had the feeling that Liu Bei had borrowed Jingzhou and never repaid it, and he always felt that he had been cheated again.  Although he was mentally prepared before being deceived, as a poor boy at that time, when he heard that he could occupy a province as a territory, what did he care about?  The provincial government was extremely dissatisfied.  To put it bluntly, after a poor boy becomes a rich and handsome man, his appetite becomes even greater, and people will never be satisfied.  But this time Li Zongren came to invite him again, saying that he would conquer Henan. After conquering Henan, he would hand over Henan to Tang Shengzhi.  Tang Shengzhi immediately forgot about Anqing's unhappiness and thought that if he could win Henan, he would not be able to compare with Anqing. When the time comes, he wouldThe territory of this province still has its own existence in Hubei, so it does not have to be as disadvantaged as it is now against the United Provinces.  During his previous renovations in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek on the one hand stabilized the local area, on the other hand he attracted forces from all walks of life, and on the other hand he reorganized the army to a certain extent. In this reorganization, his Huangpu Department was led by He Yingqin's First Army.  The core, absorbing and annexing many warlords, greatly increased their strength and became the largest military force among the Guangdong revolutionaries.  At the same time, Jiang Jieshi reorganized the First Army and other armies into the First Group Army, and Feng Yuxiang's troops that he had won over were given the designation of the Second Group Army.  Originally, Jiang Xiashi wanted to give the designation of the Second Army to the United Provincial Army. Unfortunately, Zhao Zeyong refused, saying that it was not appropriate to reorganize the army during the war.  Zhao Zeyong didn¡¯t understand at first why Jiang Xiashi always made a fuss about military numbers. Later, he figured it out based on history.  The number is a card in Jiang Jieshi's hand. The number means there are troops. The number of numbers represents the number of troops. Only the number of troops means the military pay that the troops should have.  Later, Jiang Xiashi repeatedly got stuck in the necks of poor troops such as Feng Yuxiang in this way.  Moreover, every time Jiang Xiashi changed his troops, his Huangpu system would be upgraded to one level, broken up, reorganized or transferred to each other. The article here is very good.  Another is that the central government will not recognize troops without numbers, and the issuance of numbers is in the hands of Jiang Jieshi. Once everyone accepts this procedure, Jiang Jieshi will have another one to compete with.  The opponent's trump card.  The reason why Zhao Zeyong didn't understand it at first was because he didn't rely on Jiang Xiashi for military pay at all. Unlike other troops, even Feng Yuxiang had to rely on Jiang Xiashi for support in order to fight.  As for the United Provinces.  Looking at Jiang Zishi is like looking at a beggar. How could he ask for military pay from Jiang Zishi? That wouldn't be taking food from a beggar's bowl.  ¡°And according to Zhao Zeyong¡¯s opinion, reorganizing the army during war is indeed not conducive to the army¡¯s combat effectiveness.  It is not easy to form a military tradition in an army. One of the most important things is the number. There is a TV series called "Indelible Number".  The reason why the protagonist is extremely eager for a designation is precisely because the designation represents the regular army and honor.  The honor of an army is identified by its serial number. When the veteran is no longer young and walks out of the barracks, disarms and returns to the field, that's all he can say.  Nothing more than that I was once a soldier of a certain army, and I was full of pride. In my memories, I kept thinking about my military career, the military years, the glory and glory.  But the frequent changes in the designation will make the soldiers' sense of honor and belonging unable to find sustenance.  The serial number represents a unit, and the unit is the soldier's home. If the serial number changes, the soldier will not find his home.  As a senior leader of the Allied Provincial Army, Zhao Zeyong knew that the Allied Provincial Army had evolved into an era of military tradition, and it was even more difficult to change its designation easily at this time, just like Li Zongren's Guilin Division was good at mountain warfare.  Tang Yuzong's 4th Division was good at blocking battles, Wan Baobang's 1st Division fought very strangely, and Liu Meng's 3rd Division fought fairly and rarely made mistakes. This is all tradition.  Generation after generation, new and old come to pass, and those who come after these troops will inherit these traditions.  And once the designation is suddenly changed, the military system is changed.  Not to mention that current soldiers will not be used to it, and future soldiers will have a hard time tracing the roots of their units.  An army with a military tradition is completely different from an army without any background. Jiang Xiashi¡¯s army has no glorious history.  He also doesn't pay attention to cultivating this sense of honor, so he can toss his troops at will, as long as this tossing can help improve his control and help him place his cronies.  But Zhao Zeyong can't ignore these things. Zhao Zeyong doesn't want to give up these valuable traditions of the federal provincial troops. Now he knows that sending Tang Yuzong's fourth division to suppress bandits is very suitable for informal warfare.  To ensure that everything goes smoothly in the cover battle, let Liu Meng's third division fight. For mountain battles, naturally go to Li Zongren's Guilin Division.  However, the numbers were changing continuously, and Zhao Zeyong himself probably didn't know how to mobilize the troops in a targeted manner. He could only be like Jiang Xiashi, and he could only count the troops he captured.  Li Zongren led his troops to first retreat to Wuhan, then go north along the Jinghan Road, pass through the Dabie Mountains and enter Henan.  Tang Shengzhi set out from Anhui and entered Henan, clearing out the Henan troops east of Jinghan Road.  The goal of both armies is Zhengzhou, an important town on the Jinghan Road. They want to join forces with Feng Yuxiang in Zhengzhou, and then merge to attack Kaifeng.  After thoroughly clearing out the Zhili and Feng army in Henan, they continued to attack Hebei to the north and Shandong to the east, completely driving the Feng army out of Wainei.  Chiang Kai-shek's First Group Army is fighting on Jinpu Road to completely defeat Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchang, as well as the main force of the Anguo Army composed of elite Fengjun troops. After occupying the entire northern Jiangsu, the next step is to encircle Zhang Zongchang's lair with other troops.  Shandong completely defeated Zhang Zongchang, a general in the army.  Among these directions, there is no doubt that Chiang Kai-shek's First Group Army has the heaviest task. What they are facing isThe main force of the alliance of foreign military forces, but Chiang Kai-shek will never allow the Allied Provincial Army to intervene to help them, not even Tang Shengzhi. Chiang Kai-shek is a scheming scheming man who is determined to win Jiangsu, a prosperous province. You are arrested  Read the full text.  The second most difficult thing was Feng Yuxiang¡¯s Second Group Army. They occupied Luoyang early and completely occupied the northwest region of Henan, and began to attack Zhengzhou before the Allied Provincial Army.  He may not want the Allied Provincial Army to occupy big cities such as Zhengzhou and Kaifeng.  So Feng Yuxiang also met the main force of the Feng army in eastern Henan first, and his opponent was the noble son Zhang Xueliang.  Tang Shengzhi's troops went relatively smoothly and did not encounter the main force of the Beiyang Army very much. He did not dare to touch the main force of the Beiyang Army because he had two head-to-head encounters with the main force of the Zhilu Allied Forces in Hefei and Bengbu, resulting in heavy losses. If it hadn't been for this time  If he sees clearly that there are no decent troops of the Beiyang Army along the way, he may not even leave Anhui, but focus on continuing to stabilize the less stable areas in northern Anhui.  "Compared to others, Li Zongren had the best luck. Originally, the Beijing-Hankou Railway was a battleground, and he should have encountered the biggest trouble.  However, along the Jinghan Road, a large number of Wu Peifu's troops gathered at this time. They had fought with the United Provincial Army and were a little phobic about heavy weapons such as aircraft and artillery from the United Provinces. After the United Provincial Army defeated the British army this time, they became more  It was felt that the Allied Provincial Army was absolutely invincible.  In addition, the territory of Henan was very chaotic at this time. The local troops in Henan were in an awkward position and the direct line was divided. Some tended to recruit Cao Kun out of the army, some continued to follow Wu Peifu, and some took orders from Jin Yun'e's Baoyu Army.  Internally, no one knew who to listen to, but the enemy was unusually powerful. What other choices were there, either perish or surrender, and most of the smooth Henan troops chose to surrender.  Basically, Li Zongren rarely encountered cities that needed to be attacked. Zhumadian and Luohe were defeated without any loss, and then he went all the way north to Xuchang.  At this time, Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Xueliang were fighting fiercely in Zhengzhou. Li Zongren was not in a hurry, but calmly stopped in Xuchang, a hundred kilometers away, and then repaired, built an airport, and stocked up on supplies.  Until it was almost New Year¡¯s Day, Feng Yuxiang really couldn¡¯t bear it. He worked desperately in Zhengzhou, but he couldn¡¯t win it for a while, while the other party was hiding in Xuchang watching a show.  Maybe after he captures Zhengzhou, the opponent will come over. At that time, let them enter or stop them.  It's unreasonable not to let them enter Zhengzhou. They are all Northern Expeditionary troops with one purpose. But let them come in. He won't feel at ease. After all the hard work, Zhengzhou has been conquered to make wedding clothes for others. He, Old Feng, doesn't want to  Dry.  Feng Yuxiang simply changed his mind and sent a call for help to Li Zongren.  "Grandma's, since it may not be mine if you capture it, we might as well work together."  Then Li Zongren quickly went north, and at the same time called on the air force to launch an attack on Fengjun day and night.  Fengjun also had planes, and had been using the air force to fly up and down Feng Yuxiang before. But as soon as the air force from the United Provinces arrived, Fengjun's planes immediately stopped. In just one day, Fengjun completely said goodbye to the era of controlling the sky.  The Feng army was then violently bombed by the United Provincial Air Force, just as they had previously bombed Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army.  However, the hard-working Northwest Army was able to withstand the bombing and continued to attack, but the Feng Army could not. After losing their air force advantage, their morale dropped rapidly, and deserters appeared from time to time.  At this time, Feng Yuxiang suddenly stopped attacking and began to repair.  Apparently he was waiting for Li Zongren to arrive and attack together. He had died enough, and it was time for the alliance to make sacrifices.  Soon Li Zongren's troops arrived at the outskirts of Zhengzhou. The forward troops arrived thirty miles south of Zhengzhou and met the interception troops sent by Zhang Xueliang. However, they were defeated by Feng Yuxiang's mountain brigade at the first encounter, and they did not have time to use heavy artillery and secret weapons.  After defeating the intercepting force, Li Zongren successfully joined forces with Feng Yuxiang.  Feng Yuxiang immediately visited Li Zongren, and then introduced Zhengzhou's defense form to Li Zongren in detail. He told Li Zongren all the difficulties without hiding anything. At the same time, he said that the troops of the Second Army had suffered heavy losses and were no longer able to continue the attack. They must rely on Li Zongren's troops.  While Feng Yuxiang was waiting to see the jokes of the Allied Provincial Army and see how the Allied Provincial Army attacked the opponent's tight position with machine guns and barbed wire, facing the morning sun on the second day, a series of tank troops rumbled past, including thirty tanks.  , rampaged across the trenches, ran over machine guns, broke through three positions in a row, and shelled the Zhengzhou city gate, and then walked away.  Then, there was no more, Zhang Xueliang left Zhengzhou by plane, and the main force of the Zhengzhou Fengjun retreated.  (To be continued.
