Chapter 21 The whole army defected
If there weren't a few officers of the Eighth Division present, this conference could be called this: the Front Enemy Operations Conference of the Second Army of the Fengtian Army.
Except for the commander Feng De, all the senior commanders of the Second Army attended the meeting, but the meeting venue was the headquarters of the Eighth Division of the Hubei Army.
The envoy of the Chen Zhenlong Army of the Rui Army, the short man from the newly formed First Brigade of Liaoning, the fat brigade commander of the temporary second Brigade of Liaoning, and the tall brigade commander of the newly formed First Brigade of Chahar. Looking at these old acquaintances, Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but wonder if he was in a dream.
Fortunately, when Chen Zhenlong saw Liu Jingxiao, he came over and greeted him affectionately, and said with a very frank attitude: "Jingxiao, everyone will participate in the righteous act together this time. You should take a good start and take action first, and then everyone will take the initiative together. This time, the righteous act will go smoothly under my auspices, and there will be no mistake at all..."
But it was Chen Zhenlong who was completely warlike before leaving. He asked Liu Jingxiao and the E army to fight to the death several times and telegrams to Liu Jingxiao, asking him to "break the Great Wall and make great achievements long ago." But now he had another face. Liu Jingxiao did not reveal him and said with a smile: "Is that that, or is it that Chen Guardians can do the planning well? Jingxiao is just an errand, so how dare he take credit?"
The other brigade commanders also surrounded Liu Jingxiao and praised: "This time everyone understands the righteousness deeply. Jingxiao is the first to be loyal to the central government, and everyone follows the righteousness..."
In fact, this is not the case. The arrangement of the Feng army on the Western Front this time was completely inexplicably strange. It sent a second army composed of miscellaneous cards to fight against the Western Route Army, which was the base of the Hubei Army. The Second Army only sent a Liaoning temporary second brigade to attack the Eighth Division at Xifengkou. However, the Liaoning temporary second brigade was even more amazing. It sent a second detachment of the Northeast Security temporary second detachment that did not belong to its own sequence to fight against Xifengkou.
Tens of thousands of troops watched the show in the rear. There was only Liu Jingxiao's Dingbian Army on the front line, and the miscellaneous troops of the Second Army were all sloppy. They had long sent envoys to secretly communicate with the Hubei army inside and outside the Great Wall. Only Lieutenant General Feng, who was good at playing mahjong, could only smell the wind at the end.
According to Chen Zhenlong and several brigade commanders, although Liu Jingxiao's troops were poor in equipment and supplies, their combat power was quite strong under Liu Jingxiao's training. They were probably able to fight the Eighth Division for a while. When the Eighth Division suffered heavy casualties, it would be easier for them to bargain and pay back the money.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jingxiao was also sloppy. When he saw that the situation was wrong, he went all the way and dragged the troops directly to the Hubei army. After Lu Li, who was sent by the Rui army to the 8th Division, confirmed the news, Chen Zhenlong was panicked.
Since he was determined to sacrifice Liu Jingxiao's troops, there is only Liu Jingxiao's temporary second detachment in Xifengkou area, and there is no soldier behind him. The pursuers who Liu Jingxiao was most worried about along the way are still far away in Chifeng.
When Liu Jingxiao turned against the water, the defense in Xifengkou area suddenly opened. Only the patrol battalion and security forces with low combat power were stationed. The Eighth Division could drive straight in, and no one was confident of fighting against the Eighth Division. They simply declared their obedience to the Central Committee and cut off all ties with the Fengtian Army.
The Second Army's rebellion was also a strange story of the Fourth Battle of Hubei and Fengtian.
Feng De, who was in the battle of the bird, suddenly got such bad news when he was proud of his mahjong platform. He almost fainted. He quickly fled with the guards. When the pursuers who came to pursue arrived, he only saw the scattered chips and mahjong. It is said that mahjong was still warm at this time.
However, this was all intentional arrangement. Chen Zhenlong was an old fox and deliberately let go of Feng De, the big fish, to ensure that he could reunite with the Feng army in the future.
The second army refused to join the Hubei army, only one unit, Liaoning First Mixed Regiment and two battalions of the newly formed first division in Liaoning. As soon as Feng De contacted these two units, he ran back desperately.
However, in this way, the Eighth Division fired a single shot and a single shot. The Fengtian army of the Western Route Army was defeated without a fight, while the Eighth Division had nearly 20,000 miscellaneous troops. The war on the Western Front ended like this.
Afterwards, a senior officer led by Chen Zhenlong rushed to Xifengkou, and this meeting happened to be their body selling meeting.
The former Second Army of the Feng army issued a telegram, which not only listed the thirteen charges of the Feng army, but also announced that it had officially cut off all relations with the Feng army and then surrendered to the central government. Liu Jingxiao also sent a telegram alone to scold Zhang Buyun, which contained "The people of China are very informed that the border costs are 2.4 million, but our army can only sleep in the open and receive only 150,000 yuan in the past year...", and officially revealed that Zhang Buyun's embezzlement of the border troops, leaving the Feng army completely passive in public opinion.
The rebellion of the Second Army caught the Fengtian army completely off guard. In the afternoon of the same day, both Chahar and Suiyuan guards jointly issued a telegram to obey the central government and broke away from all relations with the Fengtian faction. In this way, the Resui Cha San Special Zone became the territory of the Hubei faction.
In addition to territory, there are also great financial benefits. The central government has regained the taxes of Shahukou and Zhangjiakou, which have been lost for many years, and can get about one million yuan a year.
Feng De led the Liaoning First Mixed Regiment and other troops to flee north, but the Rui army was very polite and did not intercept it, but the local patrol battalion was not polite. This was a good opportunity to make a fortune and expand the troops and intercept Feng De's defeated troops everywhere. As a result, when Feng De's troops retreated into the Northeast, there were only six or seven hundred people left in their troops, which was the full strength of the Second Army.
The Eighth Division sent the Liaoning New First Brigade to move to the Eastern Front as a pioneer, allowing Liu Jingxiao's temporary security team to stay at Xifengkou, preparing to annihilate the Fengtian Army that entered the pass in one fell swoop.
The two divisions of the Imperial Guard system, which had originally remained unmoved on the Eastern Front, were afraid that the Eighth Division would steal the first prize and immediately became active and used a lot of money to bribe the First Fleet's support. At the same time, the main force attacked the Fengtian Army along the coastline.
Attracted by the present ocean, the First Fleet approached the coast to the greatest extent. Regardless of the influence of the volleyball fire on the old ship, he risked the disintegration and fired thousands of artillery on the Fengtian Army's positions. Then the Imperial Guards came to the Fengtian Army. During the battle, a regiment of the Liaoning First Mixed Brigade suddenly turned against the water. The Zhili Second Mixed Brigade of Wang Bincheng also attacked the entire army. In this way, the Fengtian Army was defeated and there were no less than 10,000 surrenders. Even the 29th Division, the general reserve team that came from the rear, was dispersed by the defeated troops.
The other Fengtian troops retreated to Yu Pass desperately, trying to rely on Yu Pass to defend the natural danger. Fortunately, the 27th Division, which was originally stationed in Fengtian, also rushed to Yu Pass and used the fortifications that had been built to defend Yu Pass on the spot. Zhang Buyun also came to Yu Pass in person to command the battle and brought his own guard brigade.
