Han Baihang had already made arrangements for Wu Peifu's large army. In any case, he could not let him go so easily.
Wu Peifu advanced for a while, but there was still no news about Li Yue's regiment. After walking for a while, he saw Li Yue hurriedly leading his troops back, but this guy put one of his regiments behind him.
Wu Peifu didn't know that it was more about feeding the enemy behind him than about being at the rear, so that he would stop pestering him. This first battalion was a victim.
Although he clearly knew that what Li Yue did was unkind, Wu Peifu knew that if he wanted to escape early, this would be a good way to lose a battalion of troops and exchange for a large force to advance quickly.
Although from an emotional point of view, this is very unpopular. If the soldiers know about it, it will be more difficult to lead the team in the future. However, from the current situation and strategic point of view, this is a last resort, but it is an unavoidable way to pay the price.
The price is really too high.
Wu Peifu did not criticize or blame Li Yue, nor did he affirm his behavior. He only asked him to keep the secret of all the soldiers in the regiment after he went down. The fact that the first battalion was assigned to the rear must not be made public. Once this matter is leaked,
If the news breaks out, other soldiers will not only feel chilled, but they will also worry that they will be thrown to the enemy by their commanders at some point, which will greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the soldiers.
Li Yue also knew this and was naturally uneasy and negligent. The commander's failure to affirm his behavior was already criticizing him. He also knew that he did not dare to make any more mistakes. If something happened to the commander again, he would offend the commander.
If it doesn't go well, I'm afraid my head will have to be moved.
Wu Peifu only wanted to reach Peking. He didn't care much about other things, but the harassment along the way was really annoying. Although Li Yue lost a battalion of troops, as long as he got rid of the followers behind him,
Just fine.
But what Wu Peifu didn't know was that he was not only followed by Han Donglin, a little follower, but his former subordinate and current rival Han Baihang.
Han Baihang knew that he was not capable of confronting Wu Peifu head-on, but what he did was not to eliminate the opponent. He only needed to entangle Wu Peifu. He had already made many arrangements on Wu Peifu's only path and was waiting for the enemy to arrive.
.
In order to rush for time, Wu Peifu did not send out scouts to investigate the environment ahead, but in the darkness ahead, there are always horrors that people don't know about.
Wu Peifu's team was heading forward in a hurry. Who knew that there was an explosion in front of them? The explosions were so obvious in the quiet night, and the fire in front suddenly illuminated the entire place.
Sky.
The explosion in this company came so urgently and suddenly that Wu Peifu's soldiers had no time to react. Everything was over as soon as it started. Naturally, the soldiers in front were greatly affected by the explosion, and they were killed and injured in a short time.
, panicked.
Han Baihang had been lurking here for so long, waiting for Wu Peifu's arrival. Naturally, bombs and mines were arranged on the road. Everything was ready, just waiting for them to fall into the trap.
To be honest, Han Baihang thought that his arrangement of bombs and mines had some flaws. After all, he hurriedly came to arrange the bombs on the road that Wu Peifu must pass through after he solved Wu Peifu's reconnaissance team.
No matter how nimble I am, no matter how effective Han Donglin's delay is, after all, time is still tight.
But the time and place are all on my side. With such a dark sky, you really can’t tell if you don’t observe carefully. Besides, sometimes landmines may not be discovered in time even in the daytime, let alone in the big city.
at night.
In addition, Wu Peifu's original destination was Peiping. He was in such a hurry along the way that he had no time to pay attention to his feet, let alone send engineers to investigate in front, which was even more impossible. Besides, after a while of Han Donglin
Harassment, Wu Peifu's army was already impatient. At this time, they were only thinking about how to get rid of the harassment. There was no time to pay attention to this. This gave Han Baihang such a wonderful opportunity.
Han Baihang's strategy remains unchanged. As long as he can delay the enemy, he will never engage the enemy head-on. Although Han Baihang has placed mines and bombs in front of him, the purpose of these mines is not to destroy the enemy at all, but to delay the enemy.
As long as the enemy spends a lot of time, manpower, material and energy to clear mines, and as long as it prevents the enemy from reaching Peiping in time, all problems will disappear.
Seeing the explosion in front of him, Wu Peifu was even more angry. Not to mention Wu Peifu, even anyone else would have been unable to control his temper. First, a small group of enemies chased after him and harassed him, and then
There are landmines and bombs in front of him again, which is really annoying, but the most annoying thing is that he doesn't have time to deal with them. It's like a louse on his body. If he doesn't deal with it, he will feel itchy and uncomfortable. Deal with it. He is not enough.
Can't catch it.
Even so, Wu Peifu still did not issue an order to attack the enemy. In fact, Wu Peifu did not find out where the enemy was at all. He had no target to attack. Furthermore, he was not willing to attack the enemy at all, because his target was Peking.
Things in Peiping are the big deal, and the rest of the things are not worth mentioning. Not to mention killing a few soldiers, just losing one or two regiments. As long as Peiping can be successfully captured, all problems will be solved.
Since there were bombs and mines ahead, Wu Peifu could only temporarily stop his progress. Although he wanted to pass quickly, he also knew that he could not risk the lives of soldiers to clear mines, so he could only order each regiment to send out all their own troops.
When engineers go to clear mines, they are required to break through the minefield as quickly as possible.
The officers of each brigade dare not neglect. When they saw Marshal Wu Peifu's dark face that was so gloomy that they were about to burst into rage, they didn't dare to breathe. They were afraid that if they did something inappropriate or said something unpleasant, they would offend Marshal Wu.
At that time, I was afraid that I would have to shed my skin even if I didn't die, so I quickly and silently arranged for engineers to carry out demining without saying a word.
The engineers in the front were clearing mines, while the taxis in the back could only wait. Each of them watched the dark night around them vigilantly. Although they were fully focused, they still did not find an enemy.
Some soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was better not to have enemies. Without enemies, there would be no fighting for the time being, and they would be safe for a while. Anyway, there was no telling when the days of being a soldier would end, and they would be able to live a little longer.
It’s just a short while, but you can still manage so much!
