Piaotian Literature Chapter 218 details the Jinan War

After old Pershing arrived at Colt's manor, he went to rest first. After all, he was already nearly seventy years old. It was great that he could still maintain a refreshing spirit when he got out of the car after traveling long distances.

Tu Qianjun and Phil were having breakfast with Yang Yuting and the others. After visiting Colt's factory and research laboratory, Yang Chang and the others finally settled down and began their investigation attentively.

The most important reason was that Yang Yuting got a telegram from his son telling him that Zhang Xueliang had appointed him as the director of the Northeast Railway Supervision Office. Only then did Yang Yuting settle down and concentrate on investigating the American industry and Colt.

factories rise.

Chang Yinhuai received the Anping telegram from home, and after his brother was appointed as the deputy director of the Northeast Railway Supervision Office, he no longer had any objections to this matter, and followed Yang Yuting to investigate with peace of mind.

The situation in the United States.

In the afternoon, when Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai saw Per Xing in military uniform, they stood up and waited for the old man to take his seat. Without him, the old man's records, achievements and even his statement made Yang

Chang and the two of them were in awe!

Colt did not arrange a cocktail party like when Tu Qianjun came over. On the contrary, Phil just asked his chef to make some home-cooked meals and had an ordinary dinner that was not luxurious.

Because he knew very well that his old officer didn't like bullshit cocktail parties at all, or even luxurious and exaggerated atmosphere! What Old Pershing liked was simplicity. And seeing this extremely simple dinner, Old Pan

Xing is obviously very satisfied!

After looking around at Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai, they sat down. Tu Qianjun also sat down at this time, and then saw that the old man started dinner without any polite words.

This fact made Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai stunned. They thought that old Per Xing would give some speech or give instructions before starting to eat! But what they didn't expect was that old Per Xing started eating directly without saying a word.

Tu Qianjun knew the old man's habits, so he smiled and started walking with Phil. Although Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai were not used to it, what could they say at this time?! So they started eating with everyone.

.

In fact, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai were very surprised when they first saw this extremely simple dinner. It was hard for them to believe that Phil entertained old Pershing in a crude way even when he and others were entertained!

You know, old Pershing was the first special-level general since the founding of the United States! But there was not even a cocktail party to entertain this famous old man! This made Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai quite puzzled.

But no one spoke during the dinner, and it was hard for Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai to say anything. The meal ended this boring time, and after dinner, Phil took old Pershing to make his own

A good war room.

Inside was the battle report brought by Old Pershing about Tu Qianjun’s battle in Jinan. Phil had long known that Old Pershing would definitely ask Tu Qianjun about these things. He didn’t ask at the station at first because he was tired from the journey.

And the station is noisy.

But now here, the old man must be convinced and asked Tu Qianjun about the detailed battle process. Sure enough, after entering this solemn and conference room-like room, Tu Qianjun saw the thick documents on the table at a glance

.

With sharp eyes, he also saw the name above which was "Jinan Battle Report Analysis and Post-War Evaluation". Seeing these massacres of thousands of troops, he couldn't help but sigh! Even if this old man no longer holds the position of Chief of General Staff, even if this old man is no longer the Chief of General Staff,

The old man has retired, but his influence in the military is still astonishing! You know, this kind of battle report is not something that can be obtained casually.

And it seems that the old man's study of these battle reports is not a matter of a day or two, otherwise why would he directly point out his tactical mistakes in the Jinan Battle at the very beginning?! At this time, Yang Yuting, Chang Yinhuai, Tu Qianjun and others also filed in

After entering, we each found a seat and sat down.

Old Pan Xing picked up his glasses, put them on, and looked through the battle reports. Yang Yuting, Chang Yinhuai, and Tu Qianjun each received a Chinese version of the battle report analysis, so they picked it up and looked at it carefully.

This is the first time Tu Qianjun has seen his own battle report analysis. To be honest, he really has not done this thing. The first is the talent issue. No one in An** can do battle report analysis. And the second is

, after the Battle of Jinan, he has a lot of things to do next!

Either Fatty Lin was asked to inquire about the information, or he was calculating the powerful connections of his retreat outside the customs! There was no time to do any battle report analysis, but the U.S. military with a complete military configuration was different!

They have a large number of troops stationed in Tianjin, and they also have their own aircraft! So it is only a piece of cake to make a campaign report analysis based on these and Abban's description.

"Little guy, what I want to know is: Why did you choose Zhonggong Town as your stronghold from the beginning?! And set up such a strict defense?!" Old Pershing wore glasses and looked at

After reading the battle report, he said slowly to Tu Qianjun: "Can you explain this to me?! Also, how are your fortifications built?! How can you guarantee that they will not collapse under the bombardment of heavy artillery?!"

Tu Qianjun did not answer immediately when he heard Old Pershing's question. Instead, he pondered for a while before replying slowly: "At the beginning, the main force we faced was the Northern Expeditionary Army. But because I was against my friend Zhang Zongchang at the time,

The troops really didn’t have confidence, so I set up our own position in Zhonggong Town."

Pan Xing nodded after listening to Tu Qianjun's words, and then motioned for him to continue. Tu Qianjun then continued: "But at that time, the troops I had on hand were only one battalion, which was considered a reinforced battalion. And the troops coming from the Northern Expedition could probably have

There are hundreds of thousands of people. If it were a direct battle, I am really not sure that I would be able to deal with such a large army."

Per Xing couldn't help but become more interested when he heard this! Because the Jinan campaign was mostly about evaluating the battle between Tu Qianjun and the Japanese army, but the battle between Tu Qianjun and the Northern Expeditionary Army was not evaluated. So Per Xing asked: "Oh?! This battle can be

Tell us about it?! This is a battle that is not in the battle report!"

Tu Qianjun nodded when he heard this, then organized his words and said in a deep voice: "When I was in Zhonggong Town, in order to block the attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army, I specially transported cement, steel bars and other construction materials from Jinan City to Zhonggong Town.

A large number of permanent fortifications were built in Gongzhen. All the residents of Zhonggong Town were relocated. In the early days of my fourth battalion, I had them train on how to dig fortifications and build permanent fortifications. So these things

It’s not difficult to deal with.”

At this time, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai were also attracted by Tu Qianjun's words. They had never seen Tu Qianjun's battle report in detail. At that time, An** was not in the habit of doing battle analysis. This was also the first time they focused on it.

They were listening to Tu Qianjun himself, who was carrying out the Jinan Campaign, describing this victory which they considered to be quite a miracle!

"At that time, my friendly forces did not want me to enter Jinan City because he was worried that I would affect his rights. So I actually had no choice but to build my own position in Zhonggong Town. And for me, there were only more than a thousand people.

For a battalion, a small town is easier to defend than a city." Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

To be honest, this is also a problem of the Feng clan. There are so many small Bodhisattvas in the temple! There are many factions even if it is not a big mountain, and everyone guards their own one-third of an acre for fear that others will take it away! It was Zhang Zuolin who sent a battalion to slaughter Qianjun at that time

In the past, it was just Jinan, and it took a lot of effort to achieve this. This even aroused Zhang Zongchang's dissatisfaction.

"Then, fortunately, I had several months to build my own position. And the friendly forces may have had a premonition that they would not be able to defend Jinan City, so they provided us with an army, guns and ammunition, including hundreds of flowers.

organs and ammunition, and the army was composed of about 4,000 White Russians, including artillery and cavalry. This increased my confidence, but at that time I did not want to put this army into action.

On defense. After all, this unit is newly added. If we go into battle immediately, I don't know if they will cause any bad reaction."

Old Pershing couldn't help but nodded after hearing Tu Qianjun's words. When he was on the European battlefield, Britain and France actually looked down on American troops. Even Britain and France wanted to use American troops as cannon fodder. If Old Pershing took the stage,

Perhaps the UK and France have already done this by taking back their autonomy.

"Next, when the Northern Expedition launched an attack, the troops in Jinan City were unable to hold on. They chose to retreat, but I chose to stay. The Northern Expedition did not notice my position at the beginning.

But when they attacked Jinan City, they finally noticed my position. So they launched an attack on my position."

Speaking of this, Tu Qianjun continued with a smile: "I have to say that the Northern Expeditionary Army's tactical concept is still relatively simple and stays in the thinking of the First World War. They are accustomed to using group charges to try to break the permanent formation that I spent several months building.

Prepare fortification positions, but the results are obvious."

Speaking of this, Tu Qianjun smiled and shrugged: "They failed. They initially used an army to attack us. But they failed and returned. Then they organized a group army again to attack my position. And

It was accompanied by artillery fire to strengthen the offensive, but it turns out that artillery fire is not very effective under the complete and permanent fortifications. This may also have something to do with the low power of their artillery."
