As for what plans he had, Chen Yunjie did not make public explanation, so the officers were unknown. However, with his words, the morale of the Zhi army was greatly boosted and attacked Dezhou more than once. In one day, seven positions were seized. Su Xue and Bai Ling personally suppressed the formation and stopped the offensive.

However, Su Xue was also shocked by this tide of momentum. The Zhijun was indeed a strong army. She didn't know how many days she could last in this offensive. Therefore, she said to Sima Kan who came to inspect: "Today our division lost four or five hundred brothers. If this continues, the combat soldiers will probably be killed..."

Sima Kan was very calm: "My regiment suffered a lot of losses. He was surrounded by four regiments of Zhijun for a day, and more than 300 people were lost..."

Bai Ling is a veteran general. He said: "Brother Sima, it's not OK to continue like this... Although many civilians are recruited on the spot, the speed of replenishment cannot keep up with the consumption..."

Su Xue interrupted and said, "That's right, with the current situation, we can only last for ten days at most... Jinan can almost be said to be an unguarded city now. What if the fall of Dezhou affects Jinan's garrison?"

Sima Kan clapped his hands and said, "Builder Su, don't worry, just hold on for ten days... The division commander has a plan!"

For the cadres of the 17th Division, only Liu Jingxiao could be called "Teacher Commander", so Su Xue was demoted to a level by Bai. Bai Ling thought of one thing: "Brother Sima, is there bound to change in the situation within ten days?"

Sima Kan nodded and said, "The terrain of Dezhou is a good place for a decisive battle. Unfortunately, it cannot be expanded to 40 Fifth Regiments. As long as you keep these ten days, strong support will immediately intervene in the battle... Besides, the division commander has already planned for the Dezhou garrison. Look, my four regiment commands are still in the city, so that's not a waste of money!"

Sima Kan placed a total of four regiments in Dezhou City, so the Zhijun estimated that there were eight regiments in Dezhou. In fact, the troops of these four regiments had already moved south with Liu Jingxiao, and there were only four regiments in Dezhou City.

As for sending Sima Kan and Su Xue to guard the garrison, Liu Jingxiao had no choice but to do anything. He really couldn't mobilize too many troops. Fortunately, Su Xue's army was originally part of the Hubei army, and now he rebeled from the Zhi army, and there was no problem of loyalty. So the two departments jointly defended Dezhou. As for the issues of the four regiment headquarters, it was originally Sima Kan's suggestion, but now he said it was Liu Jingxiao's idea.

Su Xue's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and said, "It's amazing! In this way, there will be four more groups in Dezhou City!"

Sima Kan said: "There are enough strong men in Dezhou City, and there are conscription agencies that we have operated for many years. In addition, some local troops retreated into the city as the foundation, and there is also a regiment headquarters. What's the shortage... Now I have urgently mobilized..."

Although the four newly formed infantry regiments are not strong in combat, there is no problem in at least a few days of defense wars. Liu Jingxiao's mobilization mechanism is more sound than that of each province, and the combat effectiveness of the newly formed troops is not bad. Most of the soldiers of Su Xue's division are Liu Jingxiao's newly conquered soldiers, and their overall quality is not bad.

Therefore, Su Xue and Bai Ling both took a reassurance, and Sima suggested: "The tradition of our army attaches the most importance to military achievements, and after the war, we must reduce part of the troops. If Brigade Commander Su wants to retain the current organization after the war or even expand, he must make a situation..."

Therefore, Su Xue and Bai Ling both came to the Fire Formation to command. The 23rd Division repeatedly fought with the Zhi army on the position and launched hand-to-hand combat repeatedly. After agitated, Bai Ling led the team to counterattack. As a result, the two regiments of the 23rd Division suffered heavy losses and retreated to organize the troops. Three regiments of the Zhi army lost their combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but the Zhi army's top leader was that the defenders fought more and more, and four regiments emerged at some time.

Forty-five regiments left Dezhou and drove directly to Jinan? Many officers proposed this idea, but they lacked supplies from the Jinpu Road. They left behind tens of thousands of people in Dezhou behind enemy lines, and no one could sleep. They sent a main force to attack? This idea is good, but Liu Jingxiao at least managed well in the mobilization mechanism. Now every county in Shandong has two or three battalions of local troops, with average combat effectiveness, but they have to quickly solve their hopes. Who will bear the responsibility if they get caught in it?

Therefore, Zhijun could only continue to use flesh and blood to open the road to Jinan, but everyone thought that Chen Yunjie must have a solution.

The battle in Dezhou was not smooth, and Caozhou was even worse. Yue Zhonglin was exhausted from dealing with the ten thousand defenders of Caozhou, but he had no temperament when facing the two regiments that had already dug up simple fortifications on the flanks.

Now the two troops are supporting each other. They are about to solve reinforcements in the field, but Han Xinhai has already broken out of the city gate. An old regiment brought out of Shaanxi is not prepared for a while, and the entire regiment has been beaten, which makes Yue Zhonglin very heartbroken.

However, this is also the full strength of Shandong to deal with Henan Shaanxi Army. The twelve infantry and cavalry regiments blocked the 200 Shaanxi Army regiments. Yue Zhonglin could not accept this result. He could only plunder the troops and attack with all his strength.

After all, now that Liu Jingxiao's main force is heading south to fight in the two Huaihe Rivers, if he cannot solve this partial army, how can he meet people when his main force returns to Shandong?

Frontline of Lianghuai.

Li Dingping was already crying and said, "You can't break through, you can't break through... This stray bullet flew around, what if someone was killed... I asked you to break through, but you refused to break through..."

Looking at the performance of the military supervisor, Jiang Nandi had already tasted it all, but he didn't move now, and when he rushed up, he slapped him, and said with a slap. He had already added a red handprint, and followed Jiang Nandi and said, "Brother Li breaks through this time. Don't worry... It's just that our army attacks south and meets with friendly forces, and then defeats Liu Jingxiao's main force in one fell swoop. This victory was commanded by Brother Li himself. Don't forget us at that time... Li Governor Li has great kindness to me, Jiang Nandi, how can I let him down..."

Li Dingping then believed it and asked again: "Is he really sure?"

Mao Yutian was already in Nanjing and refused to leave. He and Li Dingyuan were having a fight every day. Good news came. He could invite Li Dingyuan to the vicinity of Jinan. Bad news came, and he refused to even give up Haizhou.

Li Dingyuan had a headache. Jiang Nandi's troops headed north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, but ended up going deep into Liu Jingxiao's controlled area one hundred kilometers away. As soon as the war broke out, some sporadic news could only be heard.

Some said that General Jiang Nandi won a great victory and seized a lot. Some said that the battle situation was unfavorable. Liu Jingxiao's troops were countless and the troops suffered a lot. Some said that General Jiang Nandi colluded with the enemy in front of the formation and led his troops to rebel... As for the news that Jiang Nandi sent people to walk from the encirclement, it was the same every day. Only one thing was true, that is, almost all of Liu Jingxiao's main forces came south to deal with the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi coalition forces. The enemy in front of him had exceeded the initial expectations. At least fifteen infantry and cavalry regiments were divided into several large pieces, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.

Since the war started, the news in the newspapers in Nanjing has not been very accurate.

At the beginning, it was said: "Our army advanced north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. The bandits were defeated when they saw the wind. The people rose up and joined forces with the official army to block the front and chase after him. Xuzhou can determine the victory of the Ridge..."

The news that followed was even more evil: "Friends defeated more than 100,000 bandits in the Liu tribe in Caozhou, and defeated six divisions including Bai Ling, Sima Kan, Su Xue and other six divisions... Our army has advanced rapidly and has arrived..."

Since the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi coalition forces ran forty kilometers in one day and were still hundreds of kilometers away from Huaiyin City, the newspaper has published: "The entire army of Liu traitors was defeated, Liu gang abandoned his wife and son and fled alone. Now our army has successfully advanced to Huaiyin, and the military discipline has not violated them. Officials and civilians accused the Liu traitors of all kinds of illegal deeds over the years and comforted the coalition forces..."

When Liu Jingxiao led his troops to attack the coalition forces at night, the newspaper said: "Last night, tens of thousands of Liu thieves attacked our coalition camp. Our army was on high alert. The bullets were like rain. When the battle was dawn, the enemy collapsed northward, and our army was pursuing..."

But there was no news on the front line, and the reporters could only make a fuss out of nothing: "Good news... It is said that Liu Jingxiao was shot dead by our army..."

Of course, Liu Jingxiao was a dead man who died many times. The newspaper has announced that he had died at least ten times, so everyone was more careful when they spoke: "Yesterday, the fierce battle, our Jiangmen Infantry Battalion succeeded in assaulting the enemy, and it was quite a victory. On the way back, we encountered a team of cavalry. The battalion commander of the Infantry Jingyuan personally led the officers and soldiers to charge. The enemy leader was hit by seven shots in a row and fell off the horse. The rest of the people with their corpses were defeated. One impression of Liu Jingxiao was left on the spot, and the horse was killed and the captive Yun was Liu Jingxiao's mount..."

Recently, the reporter's imagination has become more abundant. Some newspapers said: "Lieutenant General Jiang Nandi and Liu Jingxiao's troops are in harmony, and all Liu's army retreats to Shandong, and Jinan is about to recover..."

The readers were a little dizzy, and they didn't remember when Jinan was once captured, so how could they talk about "restoration"? As for the telegrams, it was even more chaotic. Li Dingyuan issued a "power to "seventeen provincial generals jointly defeated the traitor Liu Jingxiao", and then he developed the old problem of signing. What's even more fatal is that some secretary accidentally listed Liu Jingxiao and Ding Jing... As a result, there was a joke about Liu Jingxiao defeating Liu Jingxiao.

Finally, Li Dingyuan finally got a report from Jiang Nandi and Li Dingping to report the victory together. The report "The soldiers used their lives, the entire enemy army was defeated, with 200,000 corpses left, and our army suffered 1,200 casualties. Unfortunately, our army suffered a lot of losses, so we could only rest on the spot for several days..."

Everyone saw the standard Jiangnan Di style, and another telegram that urged the burning fee and the medical expenses also said: "Our army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, please withdraw 900,000 for military use..."

However, the number of casualties is really inaccurate. At night, Jiang Nandi reported that he won a great victory in this battle, with only 6700 casualties and only 600 casualties. He specifically asked to withdraw a million yuan to reward the entire army. Among them, Li Dingping should be rewarded 400,000 yuan, Jiang Nandi should be rewarded 300,000 yuan, and Jiang Nanming (Jiang Nandi's younger brother) should be rewarded 200,000 yuan...

However, as soon as the first telegram was forwarded, someone immediately led various groups in the province to hold a grand parade for celebrating victory in Nanjing overnight, and planned to erect a monument for Li Dingyuan, shaping a bronze elephant, and the old master had already planned to have 20,000 words: "Qing Li Xunyue sent a letter to fight against the thief and complete the fu..."

Li Dingyuan finally slept well. The next day he heard that a group of groups continued to praise him, so he immediately sent an adjutant to investigate. If the standards for the celebration were not enough, then I would like to remind them that at least one should be added: "The outstanding leader of the Sulu people, the unparalleled general, and the best civil servant Li Dingyuan..."

The adjutant brought it not long after he went there, and he only brought one news that Liu Jingxiao's troops had arrived in Yizheng, which was only a river away from Nanjing.
