.    Chapter 357: Defeating Wu Peifu

    In the tent, the marching blanket was still at the end of the bed, and daily necessities were scattered everywhere, but Wu Peifu was too lazy to clean it up. He just lay on the camp bed and stared above his head with distracted eyes.

    Beiyang was defeated.

    When Yuan Shikai was determined to fight this battle, he was prepared to fight for two or three years and wanted to rely on Beiyang's strengths to make a lasting name. However, he did not expect that Beiyang would be finished in just a few months.  The noise outside told him that a great purge had begun, with hundreds of thousands of Beiyang and affiliated troops leaving only 4 divisions in the end. This also included the 14th Fengjun Division that had surrendered to Yang Qiu, plus the 6th Division and the 14th Division.  Each has a Beiyang brigade, and the quota of 11 brigades was given after full calculation.  11 brigades can only support more than 50,000 people, and they can't even place one third of them. This Yang Qiu really dares to attack!

    Wu Peifu turned over, feeling unhappy.

    No one would have thought that Beiyang, which was at its peak, would be defeated so quickly. The increase in the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces was the reason. The bigger reason was the sudden death of Ni Sichong, which caused the emergence of a large area of ??hundreds of kilometers in Anhui, which was located in the center of the north and south lines.  Loopholes, a brigade was forcibly inserted across Zhengzhou. After the bridge was lost, nearly 100,000 people in the First Army had no way to return.

    In addition, the poor discipline of the Beiyang Army is also a big problem. Because of poor discipline, after learning that the Henan Bridge was lost, most of the soldiers had no intention of fighting anymore. Yijun simply took off his uniform and ran away. Even Duan Zhigui, commander of the Second Army, directly  Fleeing back to Beijing eventually led to the collapse of the entire line.

    After being slapped mercilessly by Yang Qiu and peeling off his skin, he discovered that this self-proclaimed powerful army had long been sluggish to the core. The soldiers were just fooling around, Wang Shizhen and Xu Shichang couldn't escape the world, and Duan Qirui was stubborn.  , Feng Huafu did not want to fight a civil war, and the rest, Cao Kun, Li Chun and others were only focused on making money. You must know that this was only a civil war. If they encountered the powerful Japanese army, they did not know how badly they would lose.

    If you lose, you lose. There¡¯s not so much nonsense. It¡¯s just what should you do?  He hasn't been appointed yet, and the road ahead is uncertain. Do he really want to go home and become an apartment owner?  No more dreams and career?  Give up on the ideal of building a world-strong army?  He closed his eyes in pain, the Eighth Division!  I finally became a division commander and built a team. I managed to produce thousands of good seedlings in two months, but now they have all been swallowed up by others. Alas

    Wu Peifu sighed. He wanted to sleep but found that it was not as good as his eyes. He was about to get up and go for a walk when he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside.

    "Wu Xiucai, the settler is here."

    The shouting also alerted the surrounding Beiyang officers. Many people were disdainful when they saw the military uniforms on the two men, but Han Yong and the 18th Brigade Commander Dai Jintang couldn't care about this. They made a special trip to find Wu Peifu today.

    The two are from the same hometown, and they were both senior fellow students at the Hubei Military Academy. The former was attacked by Wu Peifu when his army moved to the southwest, and the latter even lost hundreds of brothers in Tongguan. Although the two armies are now merged, their tone has never been the same.  After he came out and received the order, he confidently went to Wu Xiucai to settle the score.

    Peng Shouxin was worried at first when he saw the menacing attack of the two men, but when he saw that neither of them had any weapons, he cupped his hands and asked, "Peng Shouxin, who are you two?"

    Both Han Yong and Dai Jintang frowned at Peng Shouxin's actions. They already knew that he was going to be the commander of the 21st Brigade, but today they were wearing military uniforms, how could they use Jianghu etiquette?  However, the two of them didn't say much. They saluted and said, "Han Yong, the commander of the 42nd Regiment of the National Defense Force (Dai Jintang, the commander of the 18th Mountain Brigade) has met Brigadier Peng."

    Hearing them announcing their house numbers, Peng Shouxin's heart skipped a beat, and secretly thought they were here to cause trouble. Her face suddenly darkened: "I wonder what the two brothers have to do with Mr. Wu?"

    In fact, the 42nd Regiment¡¯s losses in the surprise attack on Xiangyang were not great, but Han Yong always felt uncomfortable being attacked. Moreover, Peng Shouxin was also a major participant, so he simply said: "Nothing, I just want to see Wu Ziyu."

    "I am Wu Ziyu."

    As soon as Han Yong finished speaking, Wu Peifu came out of the tent. When he saw Dai Jintang, he became angry. After saluting, he said, "Nothing else. I just want to have a discussion with Mr. Wu for comfort."  The spirits of hundreds of brothers are in heaven."

    After he finished speaking, he simply rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight. Wu Peifu was a scholar. Although he had practiced boxing during his military career, he was obviously shorter when standing next to the tall Dai Jintang, so Peng Shouxin became angry before he could reply.  Get up: "At the beginning, everyone was their own master, and each of them lived and died according to his destiny. Today, we have united and unified, why are you still looking for trouble?"

    Dai Jintang¡¯s eyes were red: ¡°Dai doesn¡¯t dare to disobey the military orders, but I have to give them an explanation for hundreds of brothers!¡±

    "It just so happens that I have a share, brother, so let's come together." Peng Shouxin has been depressed these days.He wanted to find someone to fight with to relieve the fire. Although Wu Peifu was full of fire, but looking at their physiques, it was obvious that they were good players who had been training for a long time. They would definitely suffer a loss when they started fighting, so he suppressed his anger and said: "You guys die.  He lost hundreds of brothers, and Wu also lost a lot of brothers, so the two are evenly matched."

    "Since it's even, why haven't you, Wu Xiucai, even stepped through the door of the General Staff Department in the past few days? Are you still clinging to Beiyang?" Han Yong touched Wu Peifu's sadness with a few words, turned his head and snorted coldly.  : "If there is no order, why should I go to the staff headquarters?"

    Dai Jintang had long heard that he was arrogant and arrogant. Seeing that he still didn't understand where he was wrong, he chuckled a few times: "He has a pretty bad temper. Why don't you dare to see the chief of staff if you have a temper? I'm afraid he's just pretending to be arrogant!"

    "Nonsense." Peng Shouxin was born with a loud mouth and cursed: "Everyone knows that Ziyu will not go to the staff department. Even Jin Yunpeng can continue to be a division commander. Why is Ziyu's appointment delayed? In my opinion, you are retaliating and deliberately retaliating.  Things about Tongguan.¡±

    Dai Jintang is not afraid of Peng Shouxin. The two have the same military rank, so their scolding is more sharp: "Fuck you, if you want revenge, I will bring someone here today! Yes, you Wu Xiucai is capable. He can block Tongguan with one move."  We almost lost all our efforts, but have you ever thought about it? If you hadn't gone to Tongguan, how could there be such a big gap on the left wing? How could we break through Luoyang in just a few days? It's not that the staff didn't arrange it, but they didn't know how to arrange it!  Because you, Wu Xiucai, are so capable that you retreated without permission. After exposing your flanking brothers to the enemy, you went to take the credit! You thought your plan was successful, but you didn¡¯t know how many brothers you sacrificed! If you hadn¡¯t let go of Luoyang¡¯s front, General Chen Huan would have  Need to mobilize the second division to supplement the defense? If the second division does not leave, there will be at least one more brigade in front of Kaifeng! We can't say that we will definitely be able to break through! Who dares to use you as an officer who is not trustworthy and does not know how to protect his brothers?

    Having said that, Dai might as well tell you directly that our National Defense Forces are all about orders and prohibitions. Orders to defend will not retreat even if there is only one soldier left. Orders to attack will lead to death even if the front is full of artillery and machine guns.  Go up!  Today, you and I are just brothers fighting, and fighting to the death is just a joke, but what about tomorrow?  !  If we meet Japan or Russia, who would dare to ask you to cooperate?  People who don¡¯t even understand this are not worthy of wearing the uniform of our National Defense Forces!  "

    This scolding made Wu Peifu's face turn blue and white. At that time, he was really trying to steal credit for his cross-cutting in Tongguan. He always thought that if Ni Jun hadn't had a problem, Tongguan would definitely be able to drag on for a few months and then change.  During the war, everyone in the world knew who you were, but now after being scolded, I realized how wrong I was.

    The Beiyang officers next to him all looked sarcastic. This Wu Ziyu used to be arrogant and arrogant, but today he finally met his match.  Peng Shouxin didn't even know how to answer. At the beginning, he warned that shrinking Tongguan would lead to a big hole in the defense line. Now that he was caught, it's no wonder that he hasn't been appointed. He went to find the deputy general staff who was regarded as the Beiyang group.  The elder Feng Huafu also turned a blind eye to this.

    "Wu Xiucai, stop talking nonsense! If you have the guts, go to the staff headquarters and get scolded, or have a fight with your brother." Seeing that he stopped talking, Han Yong, a militant element, became even more aggressive.  Wu Peifu was so angry that he yanked off his hat. Dai Jintang finally understood the whole story with a few words. It turned out that he didn't think highly of him at all, because no officer likes to talk to himself without caring about the life and death of his fellow troops. A comrade who can't  Even soldiers will spurn comrades who believe in them.

    He thought he was extremely intelligent, but he didn't expect to be worthless. This disparity between heaven and earth made him so ashamed and angry that he simply raised his fist and roared towards Han Yong. Although Peng Shouxin knew that what others said was right, Wu Peifu was himself  best friends, so they also joined the "battle circle".

    In the blink of an eye, the four of them were fighting together.

    Yang Qiu, who was far away from the military camp, immediately laughed when he saw this scene. Wu Peifu was indeed a talent, but this man was too harsh. If he couldn't get rid of his problems, he would rather not use them from now on than let him break his discipline, so he deliberately let Han  Yong and Dai Jintang went to make some noise and see if they could wake him up.

    Chen Huan, who met Yang Qiu for the first time after his death, was also secretly amused by his method, but he must also admit that it was a good idea. Wu Peifu was a rare good officer among the younger generation of Beiyang, but he was too noble and self-righteous, but he was  He was born a scholar, and arguing with him would only get worse. He had experienced this pain when he became the commander of the First Army, so it was better to give him a beating. The only way to get rid of his arrogance would be of great use.

    "These wild boys will be a disaster if they are released!" Han Yong punched Wu Peifu in the stomach from a distance, causing his face to turn red immediately. He did not recover for a long time. Song Ziqing saw this and couldn't laugh or cry: "It doesn't matter what you do, just in case.  It¡¯s not easy to deal with if it¡¯s broken.¡±

    Yang Qiu disagreed. It was better to be beaten by one's own people than to be beaten by the enemy in the future.  Defense ForceThe new-style army he had worked so hard to build must not be mixed with any miscellaneous things. Even though he was attacking Wu Peifu this time, it could severely deter those rice bugs who were waiting to die.

    Seeing that Wu Peifu was in pain, he puffed up his cheeks and kicked Han Yong away, and said with a smile: "Finally, he still has some temper. Let the military police lock the four of them together and bring them to see me in three days."

    ps: The code was completed at three o'clock in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, the work network was broken, so I rushed home and sent it immediately.
