Chapter 393 Battle of Xuzhou (2)

Shandong King Zhang Zongchang, who finally defeated the rebel army in his territory, had no intention of appeaseing the fellow villagers in his jurisdiction at this time. His ambition was not to be a small Shandong emperor, but to compete for the Central Plains and dominate the world.

Although the Youth Army established its reputation as good at fighting in the war of protecting the country, in the northern part of China, including Zhang Zongchang, Beiyang is the world's most powerful army, and the Beiyang's most powerful army has now made Zhang Zongchang very easily defeated in Shangqiu area. There are no troops in the world that Zhang Zongchang dare not fight. As for the story of the Youth Army defeating the Germans in Europe, in Zhang Zongchang's opinion, it was just a German who was rotten and garbage enough. He can now say that he is self-reliant and has been constantly receiving assistance from the Japanese. The letter reached a peak. If the bandits of the Sun family had not taken the lead in trouble in the Yimeng Mountain area, he would have probably already appeared in Luoyang City with his army. Then it would have really entered the Central Plains and looked down on all directions. It was all caused by these unruly people. Zhang Zongchang's thinking ability was really great. After reaching such a conclusion, the crazy Zhang Zongchang ordered the three thousand Russian deserters in his hand to execute more than 4,000 "mobs" captured by him, which was considered to be a bold sign for his next battle sacrifice.

Then, Zhang Zongchang took out gold, silver and jewelry filled with more than twenty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry at the mobilization meeting of the Zhilu coalition forces in one breath to boost morale for his army: "As long as you monkeys do well, follow me to kill the enemy, and after conquering the south, what is waiting for you is endless delicacies, endless silk and satin, and endless white and tender girls. As long as you kill all the men opposite the Yellow River, or use death to make them kneel in front of you, all this is not a dream. Now you tell me loudly, are you bastards willing to follow me to cross the Yellow River to grab money, grain and territory."

It is impossible not to say that Zhang Zongchang is a good man who encourages soldiers. After he is encouraged, more than 100,000 soldiers under the stage are surging blood (Wang Zhenyu would definitely be very unhappy if he saw it. The largest military parade was only 6,000. Zhang Zongchang was so arrogant that he was even more arrogant than himself. Damn it). He raised the weapons in his hands and shouted at Zhang Zongchang on the stage: "Get money, food, and territory."

If Dai Jitao could see this scene here, he would probably sigh helplessly: "This is much more effective than my political and ideological education."

Indeed, the fundamental reason why Zhang Zongchang was able to emerge in the late Beiyang period was this. Although he could not read the big words, he successfully inspired the evil in his subordinates' hearts and used the most primitive desires of mankind to drive them to kill and conquer. This was probably the last breakthrough in the Beiyang system. Although he still could not escape the fate of failure in the end, the dog meat general Zhang Zongchang was undisputedly left a brilliant mark in the history of the Republic of China.

In this time and space, although Wang Zhenyu's big butterfly came, Zhang Zongchang still rose extremely tenaciously, and several years ahead of the original history. This was something Wang Zhenyu did not expect, but it didn't matter. For Wang Zhenyu, who was determined to change the fate of the country and nation, a scum like Zhang Zongchang was destined to be eliminated by him, and there was nothing to discuss about this.

In the Xuzhou direction, Zhang Zongchang was already sharpening his sword toward the pigs and sheep. The Zhilu coalition forces had all their assets. A Russian mercenary brigade, four elite Feng army cavalry brigades, plus eighteen elite infantry brigades, and three heavy artillery brigades trained and armed by the Japanese were all concentrated along the Jinpu Line towards Zaozhuang. These brigades were all organized according to the standard of 5,000 people. Zhang Zongchang mobilized almost 130,000 elite brigades, plus 12 supplementary brigades, totaling 190,000 troops. Xu Kun was appointed as the commander of Shandong Security by Zhang Zongchang, commanding 60,000 troops alone to be responsible for stability in the province. Zhang Zongchang organized his thirty-eight brigades, a total of 190,000 troops into three armies. The commander of the First Army Shi Congbin, the commander of the Second Army Cheng Guorui, and the commander of the Third Army Chu Yupu are all good brothers of Zhang Zongchang. Everyone is now ready to compete with the young army in the south.

In Beijing, in Huairen Hall, Zhang Zuolin was convening a meeting of senior generals of the Fengtian clique. Zhang Zongchang, as deputy commander of the Anguo Army and commander-in-chief of the Zhilu coalition, was naturally also present. After the meeting, he would go south to command the Zhilu coalition's attack on Xuzhou.

"Xiaokun, the man in the south is not a good deal of fuel. This time you go south to Xuzhou, you have to have a clear mind."

"Don't worry, Grandmaster, we are fighting from brothers from the northeast to Shandong for this day. In any case, I, Zhang Zongchang, will bring more than 200,000 brothers from the Zhilu coalition forces to the Grandmaster, and clean up the youth army in the south, and push the Grandmaster to the throne of the emperor." The tall Zhang Zongchang shouted terrified.

Zhang Zuolin seemed to be unhappy: "Mom, why are you yelling at me? Is there an emperor now? Do you still dare to have an emperor now? To be honest, our entry into the pass is indeed very smooth, and it is a bit unbelievable. But no one of you think the troops in the south are made of paper. If you don't believe it, then we will suffer a big loss if we fight. Zhang Xiaokun is so confident. I don't believe you, a big man. You can give me some insight. Why do you believe you can win?"

"Master, why do you want to be ambitious and destroy your own might? Even if this young army defeated President Yuan's army last year, then President Yuan's army would be gone this year? Even if they can defeat that great power in Europe, so what? I don't believe it. I can't beat them with 300,000 tigers and wolves under my command, plus the weapons and equipment given by the Japanese. Da Zheng, you don't know, the Eastern people's army
