Back to the Republic of China as a commander

If life can be chosen again, Wan Fulin will definitely not grab the main task again.Due to the poor performance of the Jin army before, Feng Jun's mentality became very relaxed when he hit Shuozhou up and down.Shanxi people?Babes who can be defeated with a single charge with a bayonet in hand.Dominated by such a mentality, they naturally turned a deaf ear to the warnings given by the Japanese advisers accompanying the army.The Japanese advisers didn't know how powerful Fu Zuoyi was. They simply observed the Jin army's position and found that the Jin army's position was very powerful this time. If the Feng army didn't pay attention, it might suffer a big loss.Although the more Chinese people died, the better, but out of a professional attitude, these Japanese still issued a warning to Zhang Jinghui responsibly.

It's a pity that Zhang Jinghui's ability to become the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun along the way did not depend on his half-baked military ability at all, but on the relationship and trust with Zhang Zuolin.So the warning from the Japanese adviser was like farting in front of him, and it had no effect.

Wan Fulin now regards himself as the number one tiger general in the Feng army, and he doesn't pay much attention to Zhang Zongchang of the Zhilu coalition army.It wasn't all arrogance. In this crusade against Shanxi, he used almost one division to clear the way for the whole army, defeating the three Jin army divisions under Shang Zhen's command.He is naturally the main force in this fight against Shuozhou.People are also thinking now, waiting for the Jin army to be wiped out this time, and they will go to Beijing to find Marshal Zhang, and just set up a direct-Jin coalition army in Shanxi to become the local emperor.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very backbone. When Wan Fulin ordered the attack, he realized that something was wrong.

The first mistake was manifested in the fighting spirit of the Jin army. Wan Fulin followed the old method and organized a death squad of 500 people to lead the whole division.According to past performance, once the Jin army could not survive the attack of this death squad, it would consciously collapse across the board.But this time it's weird. Facing the impact of this death squad, the Jin army has no sign of breaking down.The battle was very fierce. On the one hand, the Feng army fought resolutely, making repeated attacks in many areas.But on the other hand, the Jin army also played with unprecedented enthusiasm, almost desperately driving the Feng army down in these areas.More than half of the death squads failed to achieve a breakthrough, and Wan Fulin immediately discovered that the Jin army on the opposite side was not easy.

The second error occurred after Wan Fulin issued the general attack order.Although he failed to achieve a breakthrough, Wan Fulin didn't take it seriously, and issued a general offensive order as usual, and tens of thousands of Fengjun pressed towards the Jin army's position.The Jin army immediately showed their powerful firepower configuration, and pieces of the Feng army were swept to the ground by heavy machine guns and mountain artillery.The most important thing is not the firepower. With such a large investment of troops, no matter how fierce the Jin army's firepower is, it is not difficult to achieve a breakthrough.The key point is that Wan Fulin found that the depth of the Jin army's position was very strange. The Feng army that broke through the Jin army's defense line was quickly attacked from front, back, left, and right, and the entire Feng army immediately became chaotic.At this time, the shortcomings of the lack of personal quality of the Fengjun officers were exposed. Faced with the changes in the defense depth of the Jin army, these officers could not think of a way to deal with them, but blindly ordered the soldiers to charge.As a result, the entire Feng army was foolishly exposed to the open area, and suffered heavy casualties under the firepower of the Jin army.

No matter how stupid Wan Fulin was, he could see that this position was built professionally, and his own tactics of relying on crowds obviously wouldn't work.He immediately issued an order to retreat. As a result, after the first wave of attacks was counted by various ministries, the number of Fengjun's deaths reached an astonishing 100 people, and several were injured.Such a huge casualty dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Feng army, and only then did Wan Fulin realize the seriousness of the problem. . .Fengjun's uncles are different from other troops. These grandsons have never paid attention to their leaders. Once the oppression is too severe and their emotions fluctuate, this group of people will really launch a mutiny. Let you take a good look.

Therefore, Wan Fulin, who is very pragmatic, ordered the officers and soldiers to withdraw without hesitation. After all, it is better to take a long-term perspective in life.But what he didn't know was that it was precisely because of his retreat order that Fu Zuoyi's Jin army was greatly encouraged.If it is said that the Jin army had already been beaten and had no morale, then after successfully repelling the attack of the Feng army, the morale of the Jin army began to recover. They began to believe the words of the young commander-in-chief Fu Zuoyi that the Feng army was not impossible. win.

At the moment when Feng's army was defeated, they ignored the discipline on the battlefield, and shouted wildly to the sky, celebrating their long-awaited victory that finally came.And Fu Zuoyi also breathed a long sigh of relief because of this, although he has always been confident in the Jin army, this is actually the first time he has commanded such a large-scale military operation.In the past, his military exploits were mostly from low-level battles like suppressing bandits. There is no way, the Jin army has hardly organized foreign military expansion operations in recent years. Even if Fu Zuoyi is appreciated by Yan Xishan, he has no chance to show off on the stage. own talent.

The successful repulsion of the Fengjun's offensive undoubtedly gave Fu Zuoyi a shot in the arm. Next, he planned to do a big job.

It was also almost from this day that Yan Xishan, who was in Taiyuan, suddenly discovered that the news from the front line was no longer bad news, and victories began to come continuously. . .

In the next three days, Zhang Jinghui, the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Right Army, immediately showed something different from Sun Liechen on the left.As Zhang Zuolin's brother, he didn't care much about the loss of his own strength.Under his urging and the temptation of his interests, several division commanders under him finally organized their troops to find Fu Zuoyi for their lives.

The Jin army was under unprecedented pressure. The Feng army was not stupid this time. They pushed up the cannons given to them by the Japanese, and then the hired Japanese artillery fired the cannons, bombarding the Jin army's position indiscriminately.Immediately afterwards, Fengjun officers and soldiers with big ear caps rushed forward with bayonets in their hands. I really don't know how the Japanese instructors in their team taught them, and why Fengjun is still at such a technical and tactical level after so long.

In fact, there is some misunderstanding here. Zhang Zuolin really hoped to equip the grassroots units with Japanese instructors.But his team expanded too fast, and the number of Japanese instructors was insufficient. Naturally, Zhang Zuolin's own direct descendants and Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu allied forces could be satisfied, and the number of Japanese instructors that could be equipped by other troops was very small. Poor.

Many disadvantages were revealed at this time, the first of which was the shortage of officers.In fact, officers are often technical occupations, not official hats. Their professionalism often directly determines the combat effectiveness of the entire army.The reason why the combat effectiveness of the Italian army in history is so poor, in the final analysis, is that there is a problem with their officer team. The lack of professional basic officers is really great.Fengjun also had this problem. The team expanded too fast, and there were not so many professionally trained officers to fill the vacancies.Many of the guys who served as officers in the Fengjun were simply ignorant. These people were appointed as officers for various reasons, but none of these reasons had much to do with professional military quality.So at this time, don't be so surprised to see Feng Jun's chaos, it really is a raging army, a raging nest.

So although it was tight, the Jin army was very successful in repelling the offensive for three consecutive days.At the most exaggerated moment, Feng Jun once broke through the defense line, but Fu Zuoyi signed and led the guards to push up, forcing Feng Jun to repel. . .

And in Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the Jin Army.

"Baichuan, this is the battle report that just arrived today." Yan Xishan's number one military adviser, Chief of Staff Zhao Daiwen walked in with a smile on his face: "Fu Yisheng is indeed a rare general! For three consecutive days, the Feng army failed to break through me. The defense line of the army. Now Xu Yongchang's offensive on Fengjun's side has also weakened a lot, and it seems that Sun Liechen is still planning to sit on the sidelines and wait and see in order to preserve his strength."

Yan Xishan hurriedly got up and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Okay, okay, who said that we Shanxi people can't fight, the key is to see who takes the soldier. Fu Yisheng is indeed a general, and Chu Xiongfei from Xu Yongchang's side , It's a pity that we found out too late, otherwise we would have found these two people earlier, and we would not have developed to the current situation."

Hearing Yan Xishan's last sigh, Zhao Daiwen couldn't help but sighed and said: "Everything has its own destiny, so don't worry about Baichuan. By the way, what does Mr. Changqing say now?"

Yan Xishan glanced at Zhao Daiwen: "What else can I say, I admire this man's demeanor, he is not slow, no matter how our Jin army fights, he never mentioned a word to let the young army enter Jin. The more he behaves like this, the more hesitant I become! Brother Zhao, tell me, can we hold Shanxi alone?"

Zhao Daiwen thought for a while and was about to speak, when suddenly the staff officer came in and reported: "Report to the warlord, Chief of Staff Zhao, Mr. Yang, the guest of the VIP building, has urgent matters to see."

Yan Xishan hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang is here, a rare visitor, please hurry up."

When Yang Yongtai walked in with a solemn expression, Yan Xishan couldn't help but was startled: "Mr. Changqing, what happened, why do you have such an expression?"

Yang Yongtai glanced at the famous slicker in front of him, shook his head and said, "General Baichuan, I'm here to tell you some bad news. Since your army severely injured Feng's army in Shuozhou, so Beijing's Zhang Zuolin The order is to let Zhang Zongchang, the allied army of Zhishan, enter Jin. General Baichuan, this time is very tricky!"

Naturally, there was the sound of teacups being broken. Yan Xishan lost his composure in front of Yang Yongtai for the first time, and he was speechless.

It was hard to maintain the situation, but this news broke it all at once, how can you keep him from being shocked, I will die!
