After retreating from Chengde, Xu Shuzheng had a gloomy face all the time, seeing that everyone seemed to owe him 800 million, and everyone else knew that the supervisor was in a bad mood and didn't dare to touch his bad luck, so they were all dejected and kept going Son's run.

Zhang Huaizhi, as a Beiyang veteran, has a different status, so he took the initiative to persuade Xu Shuzheng: "Supervisor, victory or defeat is a routine matter, you don't have to worry about it. Fengjun can be arrogant, but with its excellent equipment, we are not prepared. After returning this time, Strengthen training, if you want to make a comeback, there is still a chance!"

Xu Shuzheng reluctantly nodded: "I have always advocated the development of the military industry. It will definitely not work just by buying weapons, but without a solid foundation, how can we engage in industrial construction. I wanted to enter the Northwest and open a new one for Zhiweng. The situation, how could I have known such a result, I am ashamed of my trust in Zhi Weng!"

Xu Shuzheng was dejected, and finally ran to Luanping. After entering the county, he called several division commanders over, and said to everyone: "Although it is 65 kilometers away from Chengde, Fengjun's planes can fly over to attack us at any time. It's not a place to stay for a long time either. We'll temporarily gather our troops here to step up our investigation, and if the Feng army comes after us, we'll retreat to the pass..."

Before Xu Shuzheng could finish his sentence, his subordinates ran in in a panic, holding a telegram in their hands, and their expressions changed.

"Supervisor, Ma Liang is calling, the Feng army is attacking Gubeikou, and they want to cut off our way back to the pass!"

"What!" After hearing this, Xu Shuzheng was dizzy. He snatched the telegram, and after looking at it twice, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Fengjun is despicable. If you want to keep us all outside the customs, you must not let them The trick has succeeded!"

Xu Shuzheng said loudly: "Tell Ma Liang that he must stick to Gubeikou, and I will immediately lead my troops to help!"

Zhang Huaizhi, Qu Tongfeng and others also knew the urgency of the matter, and they didn't dare to stay any longer. There were only about [-] troops left around them, and the other troops had all run away, and they didn't care to gather them. Xiao Xu led the troops and rushed rushed to Gubeikou. [

"Hurry up. Throw away all the food and tents, and just bring the artillery." Chen Wenyun yelled loudly. In order to increase the speed, the Beiyang Army abandoned all the military supplies.Only the cannons they dare not abandon, after all they know that the main force of the Feng army is powerful.If you don't have enough artillery, you can't even think about competing with the Feng army.

Xu Shuzheng and the others ran wildly all the way.The men and horses under him quietly separated a lot.But they couldn't control it anymore. After running for more than three hours, they finally saw the majestic Great Wall at Gubeikou.

Xiao Xu calculated in his mind that it had only been four hours since Ma Liang called the police, even if Feng Jun was a heavenly general.He couldn't take down Gubeikou so quickly, so he felt a lot calmer in his heart, and maybe he could give Feng Jun an internal and external attack to vent his anger.

Think here.Xu Shuzheng ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle, and at the same time pressed towards Gubeikou.Gradually, the Great Wall stretching across the mountains appeared in front of my eyes, and some black smoke could be seen faintly on the mountain peaks, and there were some traces of battles on the rocks, but nothing else could be seen.

These Beiyang soldiers were also a little puzzled, who still owned Gubeikou, where did Feng Jun go, and where did Ma Liang's troops go!

Xu Shuzheng was full of doubts, he hurriedly called a few scouts to check the situation.At this moment, there was an earth-shattering roar from the direction of Gubeikou, and more than a dozen cannons slammed at them, and the Beiyang army in the front was hit all at once.

Without any obstructions, every shot set off a shower of blood, fragments of pieces and fragments of corpses were everywhere. After one round of shelling, more than 200 people were killed. Seeing this, Xu Shuzheng's face suddenly changed. green.

It was obvious that the Feng army had already taken down Gubeikou, and the scene they least wanted to see finally appeared. The back road was cut off, and they completely became a lone army.You can't advance, you can't retreat, this is a desperate situation!

A shadow was cast over the minds of all the Beiyang soldiers. Zhang Huaizhi rolled his eyes and said, "Supervisor, the pursuers of the Feng army may have arrived. We must recapture Gubeikou. There is still a chance of life, otherwise we will die There is a danger of annihilation of the entire army!"

"Mr. Zhang is right at all. Now that it is a critical moment, let the brothers show all their strength. Mr. Zhang is the main frontal attack, and Mr. Qu and Mr. Chen cooperate with each other. We must win Gubeikou."

"Don't worry, the number of Fengjun will not be too many, we will surely succeed."

As soldiers, they are bloody. These Beiyang soldiers are in a desperate situation, and they are ready to fight to the death.Zhang Huaizhi gathered all the cannons, and after counting, Zhang Huaizhi found that there were nearly forty cannons, although there were not as many as the fifth division before.But it is very rare to be able to keep so many cannons after the big defeat.

This is also the last pillar of the Beiyang Army. They selected the artillery positions and moved all the artillery.On the top of Gubeikou, Fengjun was condescending, and Jiang Dengxuan could vaguely see the movements of the Beiyang army. He had a proud smile on his face. If he wanted to compete with the artillery, Beiyang was no match at all.

The artillery used by Jiang Dengxuan before this was all seized from Ma Liang. After the guy was bombarded by the Fengjun, he lost his fighting spirit and fled back to the pass with his cronies, regardless of the safety of Xu Shuzheng and others. up.

Fengjun occupied Gubeikou and seized more than a dozen cannons. Jiang Dengxuan temporarily asked Fengjun to hide the heavy artillery equipped by him first, and then used these captured artillery to bombard, creating the illusion that Fengjun's artillery was similar to Beiyang, confusing Xu Shuzheng. [

This tactic really worked. The Beiyang Army boldly lined up the artillery and bombarded the Feng army. It was very spectacular.Zhang Huaizhi also had a little comfort in his heart. After all, the old Beiyang had a strong foundation, and he was not without strength to fight Fengjun.

Just when Zhang Huaizhi was a little proud, suddenly more intense anger came from Gubeikou, and twelve huge cannons smashed towards the artillery positions of the Beiyang Army.These cannons seemed to have eyes, and they landed on the artillery positions exactly.In an instant, there was a violent explosion, and within a radius of several hundred meters, everything was shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

Immediately afterwards, there were two more rounds of bombardment, and the artillery whistled sharply.It hit the Beiyang Army, and the surrounding area was in a mess instantly. All the artillerymen were killed, and the Krupp guns were also smashed into parts. There was no sign of life around.

Zhang Huaizhi was supervising the battle at the front. When he saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out. Obviously, the power of Fengjun's artillery was far beyond imagination, and it was not an order of magnitude compared to the [-]th artillery they were equipped with.

"Damn it, I was cheated! Tell the artillery to retreat quickly. Don't give Fengjun a nest!"

Fengjun was equipped with heavy artillery and occupied a favorable location. Confronting Fengjun was looking for death. Zhang Huaizhi hurriedly asked the artillery to retreat.But it's too late.Fengjun's artillery had already calculated its position, and after destroying the artillery position on the left wing.Immediately extend to the middle.

A violent explosion sounded.The Beiyang artillery was blown upside down, and these soldiers also came to their senses, threw all the cannons down, and ran away.The artillery on the position exploded one after another.The position was completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke and flames, and more than two-thirds of the forty or so artillery pieces were lost at once.

With the scrapping of these artillery pieces, the confidence of Zhang Huaizhi and others was completely shattered.He ran up to Xu Shuzheng in a panic, and hurriedly said: "Supervisor, Gubeikou can't be taken down, let's quickly find another way!"

Xu Shuzheng's face turned blue and red.His breathing also became short of breath, this time he was completely defeated, completely defeated.Now I can only try to keep a little bit of strength, and save it as the capital for a comeback in the future.

"Mr. Zhang, let the brothers retreat immediately. We will go to Luanping first, then retreat westward and enter Chahar, which is still our territory. Go to Zhangjiakou and return to Beijing!"

Zhang Huaizhi also nodded, and now there was only one way out. They hurriedly withdrew from Gubeikou and returned the same way.Running this time was even more embarrassing than before. All the heavy equipment was lost, and some soldiers simply threw their guns on the road, fleeing like a swarm of flies.

The only luck is that the Feng army on Gubeikou did not pursue, but let them flee.After running for another three to five hours, everyone was exhausted. After counting the troops, there were less than 7000 people left. Xu Shuzheng fled into Luanping in a panic, full of bitterness.

"Give the brethren an hour's rest, then head west at once into Chahar."

Just as Xu Shuzheng was giving the order, the roar of engines suddenly sounded in the sky above Luanping County. Fengjun's planes had already arrived. These planes did not attack Beiyang's soldiers, but circled a few times in the air and dropped Countless leaflets fell on the heads of Beiyang soldiers like snowflakes.

"Only punish the chief evildoer, and don't ask about the threats!"

"Put down your weapons and go home safely. If you fight in the corner, you will die!"

These leaflets are all such slogans. After the Beiyang Army saw it, they couldn't help but feel a little bit moved. At least the Fengjun didn't want to kill them all. Life and death, many Beiyang soldiers fled Luanping quietly.

The morale of the army was broken, and Xu Shuzheng had no choice. He searched for a little food in Luanping, and fled Luanping with Zhang Huaizhi and others with three thousand Beiyang troops, who were his closest confidants. .

Zhang Tinglan personally led the main force of the 27th Division and chased to Luanping. Zhang Tingshu, Wan Fulin, Wu Kaijie and others all led the troops, and kept capturing prisoners and military supplies along the way. They captured at least more than [-] soldiers. The defeated army, everyone is full of fighting spirit.

"Brother, Xu Shuzheng is the best at fanning the wind and lighting will-o'-the-wisps, so he's not a good guy. I'll take my men and horses to hunt him down, and I promise to catch this little Zhuge."

"Second Young Master, don't take the credit with me. Lao Wan was suppressed and beaten by them, and he was suffocated. Give me this opportunity!"

Looking at Wan Fulin and Zhang Tingshu who were vying for each other, Zhang Tinglan shook his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Second brother, Brigadier Wan, Xu Shuzheng's defeat, and the loss of the elite of the Anhui Department are no longer a concern. Let him escape to Chaha Er, we can justifiably pursue and kill them, you just chase after them in a leisurely manner, don't try to spoil the big thing by acting arrogantly."

Wan Fulin touched his big bald head with a smile, couldn't help but stretched out his thumb, and suddenly realized: "After all, the commander-in-chief is thoughtful. A little Zhuge is nothing compared to Chahar!"

Zhang Tinglan temporarily cleaned up the situation in Luanping, and at this time the land of the Central Plains was completely changed because of this battle.

After Lao Yuan's death, the two factions of Beiyang, Zhiwan, and Anhui fought openly and secretly. Duan Qirui's Anhui faction had the upper hand in the early stage, but the direct faction occupied the Yangtze River Basin and guarded the Gongxian arsenal, and its strength was constantly increasing. They all fell into the hands of Zhijun, and they were already eager to try and get Duan Qirui.

"Master, happy event, great happy event!" Wu Peifu took a telegram, walked quickly to Cao Kun, and said with a smile: "Little Zhuge's entire army was wiped out outside the pass, and the so-called participating army is over!"

Cao Kun finally showed surprise, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, this Fengjun strikes really fast, we can't be slow, the old Duan should get out." quick!
