After hearing Yang Wenkai's words, Sun Chuanfang slowly stopped smiling and nodded silently.
Han Baihang's troops are already on the way, but whether they can reach Shandong safely is still an unknown question. Zhang Zuolin has ordered all trains to Shandong to be cleared in order to transport soldiers from Nanjing. In fact, even if there is no order from the department, all trains along the line will be out of the way.
He also didn't dare to blatantly transport goods under the watchful eye of Sun Chuanfang's five-province coalition, and then let the other party be accused of "collaborating with the enemy". Wouldn't it be a loss of life?
But Han Baihang had no choice. He had to go to Shandong without delay.
Sun Chuanfang had made up his mind to prevent Han Baihang from reaching Shandong. No matter whether Han Baihang's troops were going to Shandong or not, Sun Chuanfang would not let him go. He sent 20,000 soldiers to check the railway line day and night. Sun Chuanfang had already stopped Han Baihang's troops.
A death order has been issued. Once it is confirmed that they are Han Baihang troops, they can fire immediately without asking for instructions. They must be held back.
Gao Hongyizheng was leading Han Baihang's entire division towards Shandong in an orderly manner. But what was different from Sun Chuanfang's expectation was that this unit did not take a train or use a car. They just walked slowly, seemingly unhurriedly.
Concerned about what was happening in Shandong, the intelligence soldiers sent by Sun Chuanfang had been back and forth several times, but Gao Hongyi still led his men to advance unhurriedly.
Sun Chuanfang kept muttering in his heart: "Does Han Baihang really have no intention of going to Shandong to support? Or, Zhang Zuolin did not issue an order to support Zhang Zongchang of Shandong?"
Impossible! As soon as Sun Chuanfang came up with this idea, he immediately rejected it. If he were replaced by Zhang Zuolin, he would never give up this territory in Shandong under any circumstances! But why didn't Han Baihang show any signs of being anxious?
You can't understand it at all.
After a day and night of forced march, the five-province coalition forces have arrived in Shandong. If they want to attack Shandong, they must first capture Heze. Since Han Baihang has no intention of supporting him, he has nothing to worry about.
At this moment, the communication soldiers from the front quickly came to report, saying that they discovered that Zhang Zongchang's original fifty thousand remaining soldiers had increased to one hundred thousand overnight, and it seemed that they were ready to counterattack.
When Sun Chuanfang heard the report from his subordinates, he was a little surprised. Where did Zongchang get the 50,000 troops? Could it be possible that he could be transformed? He quickly ordered his subordinates to investigate, and soon got the news.
The day before yesterday, the Tianjin Feng garrison was dispatched. It seemed that the number was about 50,000, and it seemed that they were heading in the direction of Shandong.
Sun Chuanfang was a little angry that his intelligence was not fast and accurate enough, but he did not take the 50,000 soldiers in this area lightly. In addition to those stationed along the way, his five-province coalition troops escorted military supplies and supplies, and also sent troops along the route.
Not counting, there are more than 200,000 people at least. Even if Zhang Zongchang has reinforcements, he still has twice the strength of his troops. If he can't win this kind of wealthy battle, Sun Chuanfang can really take off his military uniform and go home.
Farming.
Heze will be Sun Chuanfang's first stop in his attack on Shandong, and it may also be his last stop.
Zhang Zongchang felt unsure at this time, but he couldn't abandon Shandong and run away. He had no choice but to go forward. The 50,000 troops supported by Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang made him slightly relieved, but he did not dare to take it lightly.
, the other party has more than 200,000 troops!
At this moment, the arrival of a person completely relieved him. This person was none other than Han Baihang!
Han Baihang, accompanied by Feng Yong, strode in from the combat conference room. Zhang Zongchang recognized Han Baihang and Mr. Feng at a glance. He quickly stood up and asked in surprise: "Master Han is far away in Nanjing, why suddenly
Are you here in Shandong?"
Han Baihang smiled, pointed to Feng Yong next to him and said, "With him here, am I still afraid that there will be a road I can't walk on?"
Zhang Zongchang and Feng Yong had met twice before. As long as Feng Yong was in charge of the plane for Zhang Zuolin, the doubts in his mind were naturally resolved. He quickly asked Han Baihang and Feng Yong to take their seats while keeping talking.
"well!"
Many of Zhang Zongchang's men had never seen Han Baihang, but when they saw that Zhang Zongchang had given up his position as a combat commander, they naturally looked at Han Baihang in a different light. No one could have imagined that a man in his twenties would
One person can command battles involving hundreds of thousands of people.
But they also knew that Han Baihang was the commander-in-chief of the five-province coalition resisting Sun Chuanfang this time. Although they were a little dissatisfied, they still did not dare to say anything more.
Han Baihang was not polite. He strode over and sat straight in the command position. He looked around at everyone, and then said calmly: "Everyone, some of you here know me, Mr. Han, and some of you don't."
You know me, let me introduce myself to you. My name is Han Baihang, the commander-in-chief appointed by Marshal Zhang. It can be seen from the eyes of everyone here that everyone does not seem to trust me, but what I, Han Baihang, want to say is that my age is not
The problem is, being able to defeat the enemy counts as a skill!"
After Han Baihang finished speaking, he looked at everyone quietly. No one spoke. Zhang Zongchang quickly came to the rescue and said: "Mr. Han, my subordinates have never seen much of the world, but no one dares to doubt Mr. Han's ability. Otherwise,
Marshal Zhang won’t send you as the commander-in-chief, right?”
Han Baihang smiled and said: "General Commander Zhang, my requirements for being the commander-in-chief are very simple. I want absolute command authority. I also hope that Governor Zhang will be watching from the side. If there is anyone who disobeys the order, I don't care whether he is a division commander or a corps commander."
Commander, no matter if he is a soldier or a general, as long as he disobeys military orders, I will shoot him on the spot!"
After Han Baihang finished speaking, he stared at everyone present quietly and said, "Don't you understand?"
The generals under Zhang Zongchang dared to be angry but dared not speak out. They all whispered: "I understand..."
Han Baihang wanted this effect. He didn't care what these generals thought of him. He knew that they were shocked and hated him, but it was not important. Now that the war was imminent, the most important thing was to unite the command and make a decision. If these
If a general cannot fully obey his orders, then mistakes and loopholes will appear on the battlefield. Facing a five-province coalition force that is twice as large as his own, these small mistakes may be the reason for his failure.
Korean Air will never allow this to happen.
This is a fierce battle, but I still don’t know that this is the cruelest war I have ever experienced, and there is still hope of victory. Han Baihang looked into the distance quietly. (To be continued)
