Although Sun Chuanfang always seems to be smiling on weekdays, everyone who knows him knows that General Sun's smile is a smile hidden in a smile. Once he has a thought, his smile will become even stronger, so other big
Shuai always secretly called Sun Chuanfang "Smiling Tiger".
But joking aside, once it was decided that the five-province coalition forces would launch an attack on Shandong's "Dog Meat General" Zhang Zongchang, Sun Chuanfang's vigorous and resolute actions were truly demonstrated.
Under the command of Sun Chuanfang, the troops of the five-province coalition went straight to Zhang Zongchang, Shandong Province without any hesitation. In order to speed up the march, Sun Chuanfang ordered the attacking soldiers to carry only three days' worth of dry food and some light weapons and ammunition. As for heavy-duty
Sun Chuanfang arranged for other troops to slowly escort the weapons and army's food and fodder from behind. In battle, what matters is the speed of the soldiers. Only by reaching Shandong as quickly as possible can we provide relief to Zhang Zongchang when his foothold is not stable.
He struck a fatal blow.
Zhang Zongchang, who had just returned to Shandong, did not dare to relax at all. Although he usually seemed carefree, at this time, he might end up homeless, so he had to worry about it.
Even though his concubine had prepared his favorite dog meat hotpot for him, at this critical moment, Zhang Zongchang, who usually couldn't walk around with dog meat, had no appetite at all.
Who else can eat it? Zhang Zongchang is already jumping up and down anxiously, like ants on a hot pot. Except for Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang, he has gone through all the other people who can help him in his mind, but now
The coalition forces from the five provinces are gaining momentum. Who dares to stand up and help themselves get into trouble at this time?
At the end of the day, Zhang Zongchang sent a lot of telegrams and made a lot of phone calls. However, whether it was a telegram or a phone call, although the wording was different, the general meaning was basically the same, that is - I'm sorry, I really
Nothing can be done.
Zhang Zongchang finally panicked. Trying to defend Sun Chuanfang's five-province coalition with his few remaining soldiers was nothing more than a dream. His only backer now was Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang, but at this time, Marshal Zhang was restrained.
Zong Chang was so annoyed!
Seeing Zhang Zongchang circling in the conference room, the subordinates sitting nearby were also anxious. The telegram sent to Dashuai Zhang was not returned, and the call to Dashuai Zhang was only picked up by his guard and said a few words in a hurry.
He died. When the generals next to him saw Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang's attitude, they couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. But in front of Zhang Zongchang, they still didn't dare to say it out.
Finally, a general couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and threw his military cap on the table and said angrily: "General Overseer, you said that we worked hard to fight for Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xiaomen, but in the end we suffered hardships but he
It's good that he just stood aside and didn't even answer the phone. Is he expecting us to be wiped out by Sun Chuanfang?"
What the generals next to him didn't dare to say, this stupid young man stood up and said it. Everyone nearby immediately echoed: "Yes, Warlord, does Marshal Zhang have any objections to us?"
Zhang Zongchang, who should have been most resentful towards Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang, did not say a word of complaint at this time. Instead, he turned around and cursed: "Grandma, you bastards, do you want to rebel? Ah, you should also read the telegram.
Yes, the head of Zhang Dashuai's security team also said on the phone that Zhang Dashuai has received an attack from Feng Yuxiang and is too busy to get away now. I can make it clear to you that anyone else is talking about Zhang Dashuai behind his back.
You said bad things about handsome, but don’t blame me, Lao Zhang, for not thinking about brotherly love!"
Zhang Zongchang's words completely blocked the mouths of other generals. Unfortunately, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang were not at the scene. If Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang could hear these words and know that Zhang Zongchang is so loyal to him, maybe he will be loyal to Zhang Zongchang.
Zong Chang's view will be very different.
It's a pity that Zhang Zuolin, who was far away, couldn't hear it. Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang were also very worried now. Sun Chuanfang's skill really impressed him. While attacking Shandong head-on, he combined with Feng Yuxiang to contain his own forces. It was really a headache.
Feng Yuxiang's troops were ready to move around Peiping. Zhang Zuolin really had to be on guard. Moreover, Feng Yuxiang seemed to know his plan. As long as there was any sign that he wanted to send troops to support Shandong, he would send troops to harass the surrounding area, which made people unbearable.
.
But at this time, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang had no better way to deal with Feng Yuxiang. If he wanted to withdraw his troops to support Shandong, the other party would definitely seize the opportunity to attack. By then, Shandong might not be saved, and even Peiping could not be saved.
Good things have to be lost. Moreover, he cannot take the initiative to send troops to confront Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang is afraid that Zhang Zuolin can send troops to deal with him. If this happens, not only will Shandong be unable to support, but even Peking may have to wait for more troops to be sent to fight.
Fighting, but time really trapped Fengjun on the battlefield.
Zhang Zuolin could only watch Feng Yuxiang harassing people around him, and he could only watch helplessly the coalition forces from five provinces attacking Shandong. Did he really not have an army to support him? No!
Zhang Zuolin also has an army. Although they are not large in number, they have outstanding performance in every battle. Even though they face enemies several times their own, they can save the day every time. But when it comes to this,
It is a force that has never disappointed Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang, and he is the Han Baihang Division.
In the final analysis, only one unit won the battle this time, and this unit was the least promising before. It was Han Baihang's unit. Ten thousand Malays captured Nanjing and defended it.
It can be said to be a great achievement. Only Han Baihang achieved victory in this operation.
But now the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Shanghai has not been able to hold on, and other places in Jiangsu have no defensive capabilities. Nanjing now seems to be isolated and helpless, and there is no need to persist.
If Sun Chuanfang's five-province coalition reaches Nanjing, then Nanjing will eventually be lost. It will not be worth it to have Han Baihang, an outstanding young general, by then.
Therefore, Zhang Zuolin decided to abandon the garrison of Nanjing, transfer Han Baihang back, and let him lead troops to rescue Zhang Zongchang in Shandong. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin believed that only Han Baihang could take on this important task in such a crisis situation. (To be continued)
