At this time, the Fengtian office was already overcrowded. Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang were sitting in the seats, receiving battle reports from the south from time to time. No, the news of the Nanjing victory had spread to everyone's ears. Han Baihang, who was once unpopular,
At this time, the name was already being repeated in the mouths of Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin and others.
Soldiers are a profession that relies on their ability to earn a living. They cannot win a war. Even if they can brag to the sky, no one will take them seriously. Fists are the last word. Han Baihang had just won the battle, and these older generals started to treat him badly.
The impression has been greatly improved.
Seeing the changes in the people in the room, Zhang Zuolin and Dashuai Zhang squeezed out a playful smile. He took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Everyone! What's wrong? I told you before, Han Baihang, don't look at his age.
Although he is big, he is really capable! Look, his division only had 10,000 men at full strength, but it first captured the city of Nanjing and annihilated two of Sun Chuanfang's divisions. This achievement is unparalleled.
Our Northeast is famous even across the country!"
Everyone nodded frequently. Only some generals sent by the military officers seemed to be a little disapproving. Zhang Zuolin naturally had a panoramic view of these situations, but he didn't say anything. Soldiers naturally have to be bloody and have to speak for themselves. Young people
It's a good thing for people to be a bit bloody!
At this moment, another telegram came from Shanghai.
Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Dashuai quickly took it and took a look. He couldn't help himself with the joy. He laughed a few times and said: "What a fucking fool. When you said there was no good thing, there was no good thing. Now there is a good thing."
, one after another... Hurry, take a look, this bastard Zhang Zongchang is so damn good, he just arrived in Shanghai before Sun Chuanfang's 80,000 troops, now Qi Xieyuan can only watch and worry.
Oh... Hahaha, Zhang Zongchang also boasted to me about Haikou, saying that he would take Shanghai within one day!"
Within a day, good news came frequently, and the entire Fengjun army was filled with the atmosphere of victory. However, among the many generals, only Guo Songlin was not happy.
After coming out of the Marshal's office, Guo Songlin lowered his head and went straight back to his barracks. He still had a lot of things to deal with. Although the Third Army was nominally the commander of Marshal Zhang Xueliang, in fact it was Guo Songlin who did all the work.
Song Lin did it, but he didn't feel dissatisfied at all. After all, an invincible army in the training department has always been his wish. The 27th Division and the 28th Division of the Third Army gave him this
Hopefully, Zhang Xueliang will give him this opportunity and he will keep working hard.
But today's good news didn't make him feel happy at all, and as Fengjun gained more and more victories, he would become increasingly unhappy.
The current Feng Clan and the current Feng Army are not what he imagined at all. Zhang Zuolin said that he was from a gangster background, so it’s just that he has never been reused by his men, but the current Feng Clan is not what he imagined.
The power up and down is still in the hands of Zhang Zuolin and his old brothers. They established the world for the Fengclan, but the future of the Fengclan should be left to young people.
Young people have young people's plans, young people have young people's ideas, and young people have young people's systems. The most perfect young general in Guo Songlin's heart is naturally Zhang Xueliang, but when Zhang Zuolin handed over the power in his hands
My son probably doesn't know that he has to wait until the Year of the Monkey to pass away.
Moreover, Guo Songlin vaguely felt that Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang's ambitions were too great. The Northeast could no longer accommodate him. He wanted to invade Peiping, he wanted to invade Tianjin, he wanted to invade Nanjing, and he also wanted to
March into Shanghai. Perhaps his final goal is the entire Republic of China! By that time, will the Republic of China still be the original Republic of China? I’m afraid we don’t know!
It has only been a few years since Yuan Shikai became emperor! The farce of Zhang Xun's restoration is still being circulated in people's mouths! Could it be... could there really be a third time? Guo Songlin couldn't imagine it!
He doesn't want Fengjun to be defeated, but he also doesn't want Fengjun to win!
Guo Songlin returned to the military camp silently. Zhang Xueliang came out later, and only his back was seen.
Since parting with Han Baihang, Zhang Zongchang's army has not stopped marching rapidly. He has only one purpose, and that is to reach Shanghai before Sun Chuanfang's reinforcements arrive at all costs. If he does it, his chances of winning will be greater.
a lot of.
Ever since the two battles of Danyang and Zhenjiang, Qi Xieyuan's army had already been panicked, and the idea of abandoning the city and escaping had been growing among Qi Xieyuan's generals, but he had no choice but to fight. He really couldn't defeat them.
Qi Xieyuan's only way was to hope that Zhang Zongchang's army would come slower and that Sun Chuanfang's reinforcements would come faster. But this time, it seemed that the gods were not on his side, and everything seemed to be contrary to his wishes.
If Qi Xieyuan was not a devout believer in gods and Buddhas, he would understand that the success or failure of all these things does not depend on how sincere he is in praying to gods and worshiping Buddhas, or whose golden body he worships, but in himself.
.
From Danyang to Shanghai, there were defenders at countless locations who could stop the advance of Zhang Zongchang's army, but without exception, they all gave in on their own and obediently made way for the Lu army's advance. As the saying goes,
That is, they abandoned the city and fled.
Because in their eyes, Zhang Zongchang's troops are so terrifying. Even cities like Danyang and Zhenjiang can't stop them. What better way can they do in this small county? In order to preserve their lives,
For the sake of the common people, they put down their weapons of resistance and gave way to a straight path.
Zhang Zongchang encountered too many surprises along the way. Everywhere he went, there was a harvest. He had boasted to his subordinates more than once that he had achieved the goal of "conquering the enemy without fighting" as mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"In fact, he really did it. At this time, he no longer had the initial freshness of victory. If Qi Xieyuan didn't take the initiative to give up Shanghai when he arrived in Shanghai, it would still make him feel a little uncomfortable, and he would feel uncomfortable along the way.
You are making way for me, why should you be the exception?
The reason why Zhang Zongchang was able to advance so triumphantly was firstly because he relied on the momentum created by the fierceness of the White Russian Army in the past, which was overwhelming. Secondly, it was naturally due to the non-resistance of the Jiangsu local army. Qi Xieyuan will probably make this decision sooner or later.
