Du Yuesheng and Han Baihang were not close friends, but they had a relationship. Han Baihang bought a batch of arms from Du Yuesheng, which was considered a debt to Du Yuesheng. This time, faced with Du Yuesheng's request, Han Baihang could not refuse.
Not to mention that he owed Du Yuesheng a favor, even if there was no such thing, he would not hesitate to help him, not for anything else, but to save some people from being ravaged by the White Russian Army.
Han Baihang's telegram was delivered to Zhang Zongchang, and Zhang Zongchang knew that he could not refuse it no matter what. In this southward attack, his own contribution was not small, but Han Baihang's role should not be underestimated. This saves his face.
Still have to give.
During the confrontation between the White Russian Army and Du Yuesheng's Green Gang, Zhang Zongchang's order came as scheduled. Milefu knew that he had to retreat. Although this would lose his face, at least he would not suffer any losses.
You can even claim to the outside world that you are just obeying the orders of your superior Zhang Zongchang. After all, "it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders."
This confrontation ended with the White Russian Army's concession and Du Yuesheng's victory. Although Du Yuesheng could not hold the whole of Shanghai, at least the people in the Huangfu River area were not burned, killed, and looted by the White Russian Army, and his Green Gang did not suffer destruction.
The blow, he has succeeded.
This confrontation brought Du Yuesheng's reputation to an unprecedented peak. Not only did the gangs know him, but the people also knew him. His name had spread among the major warlords.
At this time, Qi Xieyuan had no choice but to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. The upright army and the famous generals ran away completely when facing the enemy, but a small gang boss, when the people were being bullied,
He stood up righteously. In the eyes of the people, Qi Xieyuan was worse than a gangster.
Qi Xieyuan did not give up Shanghai, because he knew that if he abandoned Shanghai, Shanghai would also abandon him. He was waiting for Sun Chuanfang's reinforcements. At this time, he could only quietly watch Zhang Zongchang's men treat the civilians of Shanghai
Committing cruel and inhumane actions without doing anything about it.
One day passed, and Sun Chuanfang's reinforcements were getting closer and closer. A day and a half passed, and he finally waited for the reinforcements. With the reinforcements, he had the hope of counterattack, and he had the capital to regain Shanghai and his own face.
Sun Chuanfang's 80,000 troops plus his own 50,000 soldiers and horses, now Qi Xieyuan has a full 130,000 troops in his hands. Compared with Zhang Zongchang's 100,000 troops, he has a certain advantage in numbers, but facing the opponent
Qi Xieyuan was still helpless despite the White Russian Army Corps and armored forces.
But this time, the White Russian Army had to face not only Qi Xieyuan, but also Sun Chuanfang, the Southeast King.
Although Sun Chuanfang originally wanted to send his general Li Baozhang to Shanghai, facing the fierce offensive of Zhang Zongchang's troops, he knew that he might only be able to resolve the crisis himself. Therefore, when Sun Chuanfang's 80,000 reinforcements arrived in Shanghai
, Sun Chuanfang has also arrived.
Facing Southeast King Sun Chuanfang, Qi Xieyuan no longer had the arrogance of the past. He knew that he could only rely on Sun Chuanfang now, so his posture could only be lowered. People had to lower their heads under the eaves. There was nothing good at this time.
After winning the fight, everything can only hope after defeating Zhang Zongchang's troops, and now his role is to help the two teams merge together as quickly as possible.
Before Sun Chuanfang could speak, Qi Xieyuan naturally took the initiative to step forward and said: "Brother Sun, General Sun, you are finally here. If you had been a little late, I am afraid the city of Shanghai would have been in danger. This little man Zuolin Zhang is Sima Zhaozhi."
Everyone knows his intentions, and I am afraid that only you, General Sun, can kill him with his energy!"
Sun Chuanfang was very touched by these words, and he laughed quickly and said: "Hahahaha, Brother Qi, what are you talking about? We still need to be so polite between the two of us, right? You just talk to me.
I'm sorry! But one thing you said is right. I'm afraid what little Zuolin and Zhang want is not just Shanghai, I'm afraid he wants the entire South, and even, I'm afraid, the entire Republic of China!"
Qi Xieyuan pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah! Is it possible that Zhang Zuolin's ambition is so big? I am already a lost dog now. If I lose Jiangsu, I will go to your brother Sun, but then I am afraid that Fengjun will not
You start a war!"
Sun Chuanfang smiled and snorted: "Who says it's not the case? Brother Qi, this Zhang Zuolin is nothing. Look at his subordinate Zhang Zongchang. He can't read a word, and his White Russian guy."
Legion, have you ever done a good thing? They burn, kill and loot every day, which makes people really fucking angry. Brother, don’t worry. I just came here to help you drive Zhang Zongchang out. Not only do I
If we want to drive him out, we will make it impossible for him to stand firm in Shandong!"
Qi Xieyuan had really seen Zhang Zongchang's Lu army. He did not have the confidence to say such wild words. When he heard Sun Chuanfang say this, although he agreed with his mouth, he still prayed in his heart that as long as Zhang Zongchang could be driven out of Jiangsu
It's already very good.
Qi Xieyuan took the initiative to hand over his military power without Sun Chuanfang's request. He knew that an army could only have one supreme commander, and only in this way could it exert its greatest strength. If two people issued orders, the army might fall into chaos.
Sun Chuanfang was very cold-hearted about Qi Xieyuan's actions, so he naturally accepted Qi Xieyuan's "request" with pleasure. After all, there can only be one supreme commander. After all, he has certain potential conditions to support Qi Xieyuan. After all, most of the army is still his own.
.
Although Sun Chuanfang spoke arrogantly, these were not empty words. He had carefully studied the tactics of Zhang Zongchang's White Russian Army and the armed forces on the way here. He was confident that he had a way to punish the opponent.
The tactics of the White Russian Army are nothing more than two. One is a "blitzkrieg" to quickly attack and quickly break the defense. It is to use artillery to cover the area in an extreme time, causing the opponent to lose its combat capability in an instant, and then relying on
The tactical coordination and high-speed charge of the armored forces and the White Russian Army defeated the enemy in an instant before the enemy could react.
The second method is to use fast maneuvering speed to surround and attack the place, or directly disrupt the formation of the place, and then disperse to encircle and annihilate.
Sun Chuanfang made in-depth research on the combat methods of the White Russian Army, and he has great confidence in this battle. (To be continued)
