    If he could choose again in life, Wan Fulin would definitely not take the main attack task again. Due to the poor performance of the Jin army before, Feng Jun's mentality had become very relaxed when he fought up to Shuozhou.  Shanxi people?  They're just women who can be defeated with a single charge with a bayonet in hand.  Under such a mentality, they naturally turned a deaf ear to the warnings from the Japanese advisers who accompanied the army.  The Japanese advisers didn't know how powerful Fu Zuoyi was. They simply observed the Jin army's position and found that the Jin army's position was very powerful this time. If Feng Jun didn't pay attention, he would probably suffer a big loss.  Although the more Chinese people died, the better, but out of professional attitude, these Japanese still issued a responsible warning to Zhang Jinghui.  "It's a pity that Zhang Jinghui's ability to become the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun army did not rely on his half-full military ability at all, but on his relationship and trust with Zhang Zuolin.  Therefore, the warning from the Japanese consultant was like farting in front of him and had no effect.  Wan Fulin now considers himself the number one tiger general in the Fengjun Army. He doesn't take Zhang Zongchang of the Zhilu Allied Forces seriously.  It was not all arrogance. In this crusade against Shanxi, he used almost one division to clear the way for the entire army, and defeated the three Jin army divisions under Shang Zhen.  Naturally, he was the main force in the battle against Shuozhou this time.  Now people are also thinking about it. Waiting to defeat the Jin army this time, they will go to Beijing to find Marshal Zhang, and they will form a direct-Jin coalition army in Shanxi and become a local emperor.  The ideal is very full, but the reality is very basic. When Wan Fulin ordered the attack, he realized that something was wrong.  The first mistake was reflected in the fighting spirit of the Jin army. Wan Fulin followed the old method and organized a death squad of 500 people to lead the division.  Based on past performance, once the Jin army cannot withstand the attack of this death squad, it will consciously collapse across the board.  But this time it was strange. Facing the impact of this death squad, the Jin army showed no signs of collapse.  The battle was very fierce. On the one hand, Feng Jun fought very resolutely and made repeated attacks in many areas.  But on the other hand, the Jin army also displayed unprecedented passion, almost risking their lives to drive Feng Jun down in these areas.  The death squads suffered more than half of their casualties but failed to achieve a breakthrough. Wan Fulin immediately discovered that the Jin army on the opposite side was not simple.  The second mistake occurred after Wan Fulin issued the order for a general attack.  Although he failed to achieve a breakthrough, Wan Fulin didn't take it seriously and issued a general offensive order as usual. Tens of thousands of Feng troops pressed forward towards the Jin army's position.  The Jin army immediately showed off their powerful firepower configuration, and swarms of Feng troops were swept to the ground by heavy machine guns and mountain cannons.  The most critical thing is not firepower. With such a large investment of troops, no matter how fierce the Jin army's firepower is, it is not difficult to achieve a breakthrough.  The key is that Wan Fulin discovered that the depth of the Jin army's position was very strange. Feng Jun, who broke through the Jin army's defense line, was quickly attacked from both sides, and the entire Feng army immediately became chaotic.  At this time, the shortcomings of the personal qualities of the Fengjun officers were exposed. Facing the changes in the depth of the Jin army's defense, these officers could not think of a way to deal with it, and just ordered the soldiers to charge.  The result was that the entire Feng army was stupidly exposed in an open area, and suffered heavy casualties under the firepower of the Jin army.  No matter how stupid Wan Fulin is, he can see that this position is very professionally constructed, and his own strategy of relying on crowds of people is obviously not going to work.  He immediately issued a retreat order. As a result, after the first wave of attacks was counted by various ministries, the number of Fengjun casualties reached an astonishing number of more than 1,100, and several were injured.  Such huge casualties also dealt a heavy blow to Fengjun's morale. Only then did Wan Fulin realize the seriousness of the problem.  .  .  The Fengjun group is different from other troops. These grandsons have never paid attention to their leaders. Once the oppression is too great and causes emotional fluctuations, these people will really launch a mutiny for you to take a good look at.  Therefore, Wan Fulin, who was very pragmatic, ordered the officers and soldiers to withdraw without hesitation. After all, it is better to take a long-term view in life.  But what he didn't know was that it was his retreat order that greatly encouraged the Jin army under Fu Zuoyi.  If the Jin army had been frightened and demoralized after being beaten before, then after successfully repelling Feng Jun's attack, the morale of the Jin army began to recover. They began to believe the words of the young commander-in-chief Fu Zuoyi that Feng Jun was not invincible.  win.  At the moment when the Feng army was defeated, they ignored the battlefield discipline and shouted wildly to the sky to celebrate their long-awaited victory.  Fu Zuoyi breathed a sigh of relief because of this. Although he always seemed confident in the Jin army, this was actually the first time he had commanded such a large-scale military operation.  In the past, his military exploits mostly came from low-level battles such as suppressing bandits. There was no way that the Jin army had hardly organized any external military expansion operations in recent years. Even if Fu Zuoyi was admired by Yan Xishan, he had no chance to show off on the stage.  own talents.  The successful repulse of Fengjun¡¯s offensive undoubtedly gave Fu Zuoyi himself a shot in the arm.??, next, he plans to do something big.  Almost from that day on, Yan Xishan, who was stationed in Taiyuan, suddenly discovered that the reports from the front were no longer bad news, and victories began to come continuously.  .  .  In the next three days, Zhang Jinghui, the commander-in-chief of Fengjun¡¯s right army, immediately showed something different from Sun Liechen on the left.  As Zhang Zuolin's best brother, he doesn't care much about the loss of his own strength.  Under his urging and the temptation of interests, several of his division commanders finally organized their headquarters to risk their lives by Fu Zuoyi.  The Jin army was under unprecedented pressure. Feng Jun was not stupid this time. They pushed up the cannons given to them by the Japanese, and then hired Japanese artillery to fire the cannons, which bombarded the Jin army's positions.  Immediately afterwards, the Fengjun officers and soldiers wearing big-eared hats rushed up in a noisy manner with bayonets in hand. I really don't know how the Japanese instructors in their team taught them, and why the Fengjun army is still at such a technical and tactical level after so long.  Actually, there is some misunderstanding here. Zhang Zuolin really hopes to equip the grassroots units with Japanese military instructors.  However, his team expanded too fast. The number of Japanese instructors was insufficient. Naturally, Zhang Zuolin's own direct line and Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu Allied Forces could satisfy him. The number of Japanese instructors available to other units was very small.  What a pity.  Many shortcomings were revealed at this time, the first of which was the shortage of officers.  Officers are actually a technical profession in many cases, rather than an official hat. Their professionalism often directly determines the combat effectiveness of the entire army.  Why did the Italian army have such poor combat effectiveness in history? In the final analysis, there was a problem with their officer corps. There was a real shortage of professional backbone officers.  Fengjun also has this problem. The team is expanding too fast, and there are simply not that many professionally trained officers to fill the vacancies.  Many of the guys who serve as officers in the Fengjun army are simply unlearned and unskilled. These people were appointed as officers for various reasons, but these reasons definitely have nothing to do with professional military qualities.  So at this time, don't be too surprised to see Fengjun's chaos. It turns out that there are many soldiers and generals in the nest.  So despite the tight situation, the Jin army was still very successful in repelling this three-day offensive.  At the most exaggerated moment, Feng Jun once broke through the defense line, but Fu Zuoyi signed and led the guards to push forward, and forced Feng Jun back.  .  .  And in Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the Jin Army.  "Baichuan, this is the battle report that just arrived today." Yan Xishan's number one strategist and chief of staff Zhao Daiwen walked in with a smile on his face: "Fu Yisheng is indeed a rare tiger general! For three consecutive days, Feng Jun failed to break through us.  The Fengjun's defense line on Xu Yongchang's side has also weakened a lot. It seems that Sun Liechen still wants to sit back and wait and see to preserve his strength. " Yan Xishan quickly stood up and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Okay, okay, who?  It is said that we Shanxi people don't know how to fight. The key is to see who will lead this soldier. Fu Yisheng is indeed a general, and Chu Xiongfei on Xu Yongchang's side is unfortunately discovered too late. Otherwise, these two people would have been discovered earlier.  We won¡¯t reach the current situation.¡± Hearing Yan Xishan¡¯s last sigh, Zhao Daiwen couldn¡¯t help but sigh and said, ¡°Everything has its destiny, so don¡¯t worry about it anymore, Baichuan.  Mr. Chang Qing, what do you say now?" Yan Xishan glanced at Zhao Daiwen: "What else can I say? I admire this man's magnanimity. No matter how our Jin army fought, he didn't mention it.  Let the young army enter the Jin Dynasty after half a word. The more he behaves like this, the more hesitant I am! Brother Zhao, tell me, can we defend Shanxi by ourselves?" Zhao Daiwen thought for a while and was about to speak, but suddenly the staff officer  He came in and reported: "Report to the military governor, Chief of Staff Zhao, Mr. Yang, the guest in the VIP building, has something urgent to ask for." Yan Xishan said quickly: "Mr. Yang is here. I am a rare guest. Please invite me quickly." When Yang Yongtai looked solemn.  When he walked in, Yan Xishan couldn't help being startled: "Mr. Changqing, what happened? Why do you look like this?" Yang Yongtai glanced at the notoriously slippery man in front of him and shook his head.  He shook his head and said: "General Baichuan, I'm here to tell you some not-so-good news. Since your army severely damaged Fengjun in Shuozhou, Zhang Zuolin in Beijing ordered the Zhilu coalition Zhang Zongchang to enter Jin. General Baichuan,  This time it¡¯s very tricky!¡± The next thing was naturally the sound of the tea cup being broken. Yan Xishan lost his composure in front of Yang Yongtai for the first time, and he was speechless.  The situation that was finally maintained was suddenly shattered by this news. How could you keep him from being shocked? I will die too!
