The news of this war has spread to everyone, even Sun Chuanfang, commander of the five-province coalition forces and Feng Yuxiang, commander of the Northwest Army, who are far away on the battlefield in Shandong, have to know the news.
The victory of the Feng Clan broke Sun Chuanfang's dream of winning Shandong under the catastrophe of the Feng Clan. He was able to accept the outcome of Guo Songling's failure, but the only thing he couldn't accept was how Han Baihang appeared in Fengtian, and
He actually served as the actual commander-in-chief in the defense battle of Fengtian, and also played a decisive role. For Sun Chuanfang, this was not only his own mistake, but also his own shame.
When the two armies were fighting, the other side's coach actually slipped away under his nose without him realizing it. Isn't this a shame? What's more, he was so stupid that he didn't dare to act rashly on the opposite side of the enemy. Sun Chuanfang could even imagine it now.
Zhang Zongchang and other generals who came out of the military camp opposite laughed and laughed at their own ignorance.
Sun Chuanfang was very reluctant to rush forward and capture the opponent's position right now, but he was angry. Sun Chuanfang's reason told him that he had missed the best time to attack. If he sent out his troops now, if the opponent could not hold on,
It is very likely that he will face an encirclement and suppression by forces from all sides of the Feng faction. Not to mention taking over Shandong, it is also a question whether he can escape unscathed.
From the beginning when his army of more than 200,000 men chased Zhang Zongchang's troops and fled, to now when he is in a dilemma on other people's territory, all these changes were thanks to Han Baihang. Sun Chuanfang felt a little regretful.
He spat on the ground, and he was so embarrassed that it penetrated the ground, "I didn't expect that my grandson would play with hawks all his life, but this time he would be pecked in the eye by Han Baihang! His grandma's!"
When everyone saw that Commander Sun Chuanfang was angry, they wanted to go up to persuade him but were afraid of being scolded. Only Qi Xieyuan stepped forward and said: "Brother Sun, don't take it to heart. Logically speaking, we have lost a lot, but look at it and think
What did we do a month or two ago? I even lost Shanghai to others. What a shame! But now under your leadership, brother, we not only took back the chassis, but now we have reached Shandong.
That's enough!" Qi Xieyuan was stepping down the steps for Sun Chuanfang. If he hadn't said this, Sun Chuanfang would have been even more embarrassed. Persuading people is also a skill, and in this regard, Qi Xieyuan can be regarded as a master among them.
In fact, Qi Xieyuan didn't want to fight at all. He didn't have many troops, except for those lost in the battle with the White Russian Army in Shanghai. This time he had no reason to refuse Sun Chuanfang's five-province coalition to attack the Feng clan, so he also participated
He came in, after all, he has a short mouth and a short hand. At least he relied on other people's help to take Shanghai back from Zhang Zongchang. But after that, he didn't want to take revenge immediately. He suffered heavy losses, so he seized the opportunity.
Restoring his own strength was the most important thing, but he had no choice.
In this battle against the Feng clan, his troops suffered a lot of losses. He felt bad! If Sun Chuanfang still fought with all his might, what else could he do to protect his own territory? Not to mention that this battle now looks like
It is difficult to win. Even if he wins, it is still a question whether his power can be restored. In his opinion, if he takes the initiative to retreat now, the local government will definitely not dare to pursue it deeply. He can still retreat safely, so why not?
!
Qi Xieyuan tested Sun Chuanfang, trying to get some meaning from his mouth.
Sun Chuanfang also knew that he could not continue this battle, but retreating would lose face and cause great disgrace. However, he carefully considered it. If he wanted to be dominant in the southwest and southeast in the future, he must cooperate with these five provinces.
If you build a good relationship with the commanders of the coalition forces, if you destroy all their troops, will they still follow you wholeheartedly? Whether they can listen to your orders in the future is a question. In the long run, it is more appropriate to retreat.
.
After repeated requests from everyone, and repeated "rejections" from Sun Chuanfang, the commander-in-chief of the five-province coalition forces, he finally had to issue the order to retreat with great regret on the grounds of "complying with the wishes of the public for the sake of perfection."
The war in Shandong battlefield has ended, but the trauma caused by the war to the people of Shandong is still vivid in their minds. This battle started with Han Baihang's full planning. Both battles defeated Sun Chuanfang with less and defeated more.
The vigor of the coalition forces made it possible for the two armies, which were originally very different in strength, to face each other head-on. In the end, the Shandong Feng Army led by Zhang Zongchang resisted Sun Chuanfang's five-province coalition.
The happiest person now is undoubtedly Zhang Zongchang. The person Zhang Zongchang is most grateful to is definitely Han Baihang. Without Han Baihang, Shandong would have been occupied by Sun Chuanfang long ago. He was the one who caused the trouble in the first place.
, was completely resolved with Han Baihang's strategy. Zhang Zongchang now worshiped Han Baihang as a god and never dared to look down upon him again.
After hearing that Han Baihang fainted, Zhang Zongchang was very upset that he rushed to Fengtian to visit his benefactor, but the reality was that he couldn't live without him. Shandong was still a mess waiting for things to be done. If he left, everything would be ruined.
Everything was in chaos. It happened that the war in Shandong was over, and Li Sheng had to go back to Fengtian for a mission. Zhang Zongchang quickly collected the gold and silver jewelry, antiques and jades, rare herbs, ginseng, deer antlers and other things he had collected slowly.
A large car was loaded and a company of troops was dispatched to personally escort Li Sheng to Fengtian to express his gratitude to his benefactor on his behalf.
Li Sheng originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought, now is the time when Commander Han Baihang needs these supplements, so he accepted them. Farewell to everyone in Shandong, he rushed back to Fengtian day and night under the escort of soldiers.
, even when eating and resting on the way, they just eat a few mouthfuls of dry food and drink some hot water on the train.
Looking at the war in the northwest, after the news of Guo Songling's murder came out, Feng Yuxiang expected that this war that could be exploited might have become boring. Although he knew that Zhang Xueliang could not return to Fengtian after that.
He came back in time, but he did not launch an attack easily, and the fighter plane was lost.
Then he heard the news that the coalition forces from the five provinces were slowly retreating. Feng Yuxiang sighed. The war on his side was probably coming to an end, and there was no point in continuing the fight. The end result for him would be to retreat.
