The war between Zhili and Fengtian has begun in full swing. Both sides have invested all their efforts. This is a gamble. Winning or losing will determine the reshuffle of warlord forces in the broken land of China. No one, whether it is Zhang Zuolin or Wu Peifu, can afford to lose.
Han Baihang's battle in Shanhaiguan is already in full swing. He doesn't know what his fate will be, just like no one can predict the final direction of the war. This is the sadness of the soldier - he knows when he will accept the order and when he will go to the battlefield, but he
There is no way to predict when you will walk off the battlefield and return home after becoming famous.
After unremitting efforts, Han Baihang has stabilized the situation of the gap created by Shanhaiguan. He used the blood of the soldiers to make up for the gap in the war and saved the building from falling. He looked at Feng Jun at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing that the supply could not be provided, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could finish breathing, he discovered a fatal phenomenon - Zhang Xueliang's troops disappeared.
Han Baihang saw clearly during the counterattack that there was a familiar army at the foot of the mountain. That kind of fierce and unrivaled temperament could not be imitated by others. It was definitely Zhang Xueliang's team. He had fought against him before, so he was absolutely wrong.
No, but now this team has disappeared.
A bad premonition gradually arose in Han Baihang's heart. He always felt that something was going to happen. He called out to Gao Hongyi and said, "Come over and see if I am dazzled or what happened? Where are Zhang Xueliang's troops?"
?”
Gao Hongyi took a telescope and looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally confirmed, "Commander, Zhang Xueliang's troops are indeed gone. Look at Peng Shouxin's place. He is obviously much more relaxed. If Zhang Xueliang's troops are still there, he is not there."
It could be that easy!”
Han Baihang's heart skipped a beat. Just now he suspected that he was dazzled, but after Gao Hongyi's confirmation, he could conclude that Zhang Xueliang's team had indeed disappeared. It was a legion of troops, and it actually disappeared alive in front of his eyes.
Without any knowledge, he couldn't figure out how Zhang Xueliang did it, but the facts were right in front of him.
You must know that the current battlefield situation is very delicate. Han Baihang knows very well that the Zhili Army has invested all its troops and there are no follow-up teams to support it. However, Zhang Xueliang actually drew out a legion of troops on the battlefield alive.
Although this legion is no longer a complete organization after fighting against him, its strength cannot be underestimated. Perhaps the emergence of this legion will easily break the delicate balance between the two armies.
Where will Zhang Xueliang go? Beigukou? Or Jiumenmen? No matter where Zhang Xueliang and his corps go, someone must intercept them. Otherwise, as long as his corps appears wherever he goes, the balance of power will be disturbed.
Break it and suffer disaster.
When Han Baihang discovered this situation, he broke into a cold sweat and quickly sent a telegram to Marshal Wu Peifu, asking him to evacuate the Shanhaiguan battlefield and take the initiative to intercept and block Zhang Xueliang's Third Army.
After Wu Peifu received the information from Han Baihang of the Third Division, he was also scared into a cold sweat. He had long heard about the strength of the young general Zhang Xueliang, and now he disappeared in Shanhaiguan. No matter where he appeared, he was a threat to him.
A fatal blow.
Wu Peifu quickly issued an order, ordering Peng Shouxin to re-deploy Shanhaiguan's defensive forces, and ordered Han Baihang's 3rd Division to withdraw from the battle immediately to find an interception and block Zhang Xueliang's 3rd Army.
The terrain of Shanhaiguan is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as the troops are deployed properly, it is generally difficult for the opponent to capture it. However, it is different with Zhang Xueliang. Wu Peifu still knows very well which is more important.
After receiving the order from Marshal Wu Peifu, Han Baihang did not dare to delay at all. He immediately handed over the position to Peng Shouxin and led all the officers and soldiers of the Third Division to evacuate Shanhaiguan in search of Zhang Xueliang.
But now, a huge problem is posed in front of Han Baihang. Where will Zhang Xueliang go? Where can I meet him? You must know that you only have one chance. If you make a mistake and turn back, I'm afraid everything will be too late.
, Zhang Xueliang would not give him this opportunity.
Han Baihang was anxious. He knew that the battle between him and Zhang Xueliang had already begun at this moment, but now the initiative was completely in the hands of the other party, and he was like a headless fly. At this critical moment, he was still
He couldn't find the direction, and he had already lost. Although losing was not terrible, Han Baihang couldn't bear the price of losing.
Gao Hongyi knew that Han Baihang was panicking at this time. This was the first time in so many years that he had seen Han Baihang in such military pain. In the past, Han Baihang had always had a chance to win, but this time the situation seemed to be different.
Although Han Baihang was impatient, he did not completely lose his mind. He ordered Gao Hongyi to get a map and said, "Come here and mark out the roads from Shanhaiguan to all the checkpoints and calculate the distance. If we march at the fastest speed,
Which gates cannot we reach within an hour?"
It has to be said that Gao Hongyi's ability to work on the map is very superb. He does not need a ruler and can draw very straight lines at will. He marked out all the routes according to Han Baihang's richness, and in the end he found that only
They couldn't get to the Nine Gates within an hour.
Han Baihang breathed a sigh of relief. He had roughly guessed Zhang Xueliang's route. He must have gone to the Ninth Gate, because he couldn't get there within an hour, and he was sure to win the Ninth Gate within an hour. Han Baihang looked
He smiled in the direction of the Nine Gates, was he really unable to get there?
From Shanhaiguan to Jiumenmen, the distance is long and the mountain road is rugged. If you take the main road, Han Baihang really can't get to Jiumenmen within an hour. But what Zhang Xueliang doesn't know is that the road leading to Jiumenmen is not the only one.
, you can also reach it by taking other roads.
Han Baihang called Huzi and Shitou and asked them to take several members of a hundred-man team through the mountains, taking the mountain path they had walked before. This path was very rugged, and in some parts there was only a trail facing the cliff.
If you are not careful, you will fall into the deep mountains and be doomed. It is essentially not suitable for large groups to pass through. However, this road is a shortcut and the distance is much shorter. You can reach the Nine Gates within an hour.
Han Baihang looked at his brothers behind him with a serious expression, gritted his teeth and ordered: Let's go!
