The Longhai Line was setback, the Jinpu Road retreated, and the battle situation on Pinghan Road also worried Chiang Kai-shek.

As early as the Chiang army on the Longhai Line fought fiercely with the anti-Chiang coalition forces, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Third Corps of He Chengjun, the Pinghan Line, to launch an attack to restrain Feng Yuxiang's troops and reduce their troops to the Longhai Line.

Although the Third Army led by He Chengjun is basically a miscellaneous army, it has 13 divisions and more than 200,000 people, which is large and powerful, and its combat effectiveness is still acceptable. On one side of the Chiang army, there are Xu Yuanquan's 10th Army, Wang Jinyu's 9th Army, Yang Hucheng's 7th Army, Jiang Dingwen's 2nd Army, as well as Yue Weijun's troop, and Fan Shisheng's troop, on the west Henan guard commander Yue Weijun's troop, and Fan Shisheng's troop, on the west Henan guard commander.

The total number of anti-Chengshan coalition forces on the opposite side was nearly 300,000. Originally, Fan Zhongxiu, Shi Zhenqing (after Wan Xuancai was trapped, the Shi tribe leveled the Han line), Ren Yingqi and other troops, including Feng Yuxiang's troops, also had about 300,000 troops, guarding Xiaoshang Bridge south of Xuchang and Xiaoyao Town east of Xihua. Later, Tian Jinkai, Ni Yusheng, Zhao Fenglin, Wang Hexiang and other troops of the Northwest Army were opened from southern Shaanxi to Henan, that is, distributed in Lushan, Ye County, and Xiangcheng west of Pinghan Road, and the main force was placed north of Xuchang, under the command of Zhang Weixi, and Ruan Yingwu was sent as the commander of the front enemy. Liu Ruming's troops were in Xichuan and Nanzhao area to monitor Yang Hucheng's troops. Feng Zhi'an's troops of Song Zheyuan's troops were controlled in Zhengzhou and the areas south of Feng Yuxiang directly controlled them.

After receiving the order from Chiang Kai-shek, on May 16, He Chengjun ordered a full-scale offensive on the Pinghan Line.

Afterwards, Wang Jinyu's troops surrounded Fan Zhongxiu's troops Yu Linying and marched towards Xuchang. He Chengjun rushed to Luohe from Zhumadian to supervise the battle. On June 4, Fan Zhongxiu, who was defending Xuchang, was killed by Chiang Kai-shek's air force. After Feng Yuxiang received the report, he immediately sent Deng Baoshan to take over as commander-in-chief of the Eighth Front Army. At the same time, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Feng Yuxiang went to Xuchang to inspect. Then, Feng Yuxiang sent Sun Lianzhong to lead his troops to assist Xuchang, and Yan Xishan also sent cavalry commander Zhao Chengshou to attack Zhoukou. Gao Shuxun and Ge Yunlong Divisions of the Northwest Army advanced from Xuchang south to attack Luohe.

At this time, the favorable situation brought about by the Chiang army on the Longhai line due to Liu Maoen's turnaround had begun to dissipate with the opposing Feng Yuxiang's army, and the Chiang army and the anti-Chiang coalition had entered a stalemate. Although the Chiang army tried their best to attack under the supervision of Chiang Kai-shek, it had not made much progress. Instead, under the defense of Feng's army with the fortifications, there were serious casualties.

Seeing that the Longhai Line was safe, the Pinghan Line lost its new commander, and the morale of the army was unstable. In addition, the Guangxi clique captured Changsha on June 5, captured Yuezhou on the 8th, and was advancing towards Wuhan. In order to boost the morale of the Pinghan Line and open up contact with the Gui army, Feng Yuxiang transferred the main force to the Pinghan Line and launched an attack on the Third Corps of Chiang's army in front of him, in order to annihilate He Chengjun's main force in one fell swoop, take Wuhan, and meet with the Gui army.

Feng Yuxiang dispatched troops and generals, and on the 10th, he issued a general attack order to launch an attack on He Chengjun's group on the Pinghan Line. He fought fiercely for two days and nights. He Chengjun's troops were not supported and retreated southward until Luohe.

Although He Chengjun's third legion was large and powerful, and the fight was quite good in front of him, when facing the main attack of Feng Yuxiang's army, the original form of a miscellaneous army was soon revealed. Speaking of which, these miscellaneous army also had more than 200,000 troops, and they should be able to fight with Feng Yuxiang's army for a while. Unfortunately, the miscellaneous warlords who formed the third legion wanted to preserve their strength. When they saw the soldiers of the Feng army on the opposite side, they were timid in their hearts. Although He Chengjun was good to the miscellaneous army and had sufficient food and salary, he had to have a life to enjoy it, right? He has been fighting for two days and is worthy of Chief He. He can't just turn his family here, right? If that happens, he will be a bullshit in the future. The commanders of the miscellaneous army seem to be in the same mind, retreating one by one, retreating everywhere, and one by one, one by one to see who runs faster, and the final defeat of the Third Legion.

After defeating He Chengjun's third legion, Feng Yuxiang transferred Sun Lianzhong, Zhang Zizhong, Ge Yunlong and other troops back to the Longhai line, and ordered the troops led by Zhang Weixi to stop pursuing south, and the two armies would stalemate on the Luohe line. At the same time, Feng Yuxiang adjusted his strategic deployment and required the Pinghan Line to keep a surveillance of He Chengjun's miscellaneous legion on the opposite side, and transferred the main force to the Longhai line in order to carry out a fatal blow to the elite of Chiang army. Regarding Feng Yuxiang's adjustment, one general on the Pinghan Line's coalition did not agree with Feng Yuxiang. Their reasons were: First, in-line combat, we must strive to fight the elites of Chiang's army.

Defeat each one, and pursue victory is a good time to defeat each one, and it does not require a large amount of troops, and the effect is very great. Second, pushing the front line south can not only have a great impact on the momentum, but also makes it difficult for the enemy to use troops on Pinghan and Longhai lines. Third, it can differentiate the "miscellaneous army" of Pinghan Line and turn it to us. It is a pity to give up this opportunity to pursue victory. The generals of Pinghan Line once asked Zhang Yunrong to return to Zhengzhou to express these opinions to Feng. However, Feng Yuxiang did not accept it after hearing this.

Feng Yuxiang also had his considerations for adjusting strategic deployment. Feng Yuxiang had several reasons: First, the main force of Chiang's army was not in southern Henan but in eastern Henan. Although it was easy to capture Xinyang, the front line was too long and the troops were too dispersed. Once the main force of Chiang's army attacked from eastern Henan, the coalition would inevitably fall into a dangerous situation where the head and tail could not be taken into consideration; second, the situation on the battlefield in Hunan has changed again. The two units of Chiang's army Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai captured Hengyang, He Jian's army occupied Changsha again, and the Gui army had retreated to Liling, Youxian and Liuyang, and the plan of meeting was difficult to achieve; third, He Chengjun's army was defeated and would never dare to invade north in a short period of time. It just happened to take this opportunity to draw most of the troops from Pinghan Road to use them in eastern Henan, so as to once again give the main force of Chiang's army an annihilation strike.

Although Feng Yuxiang explained his strategic intentions to his generals, the generals of the Pinghan Line always believed that such adjustments were a big mistake.

Maybe Feng Yuxiang wants to be a hero who is in a sharp and powerful way to turn the tide. Maybe General Feng is good-negative and likes to chew tough problems. Maybe Feng is indeed confident of defeating Chiang Kai-shek's elite, but he forgot that it is the coalition forces fighting against Chiang's army now, not your Northwest Army family. You Feng Yuxiang does not lead those big and big military leaders to keep winning, give them sweetness and motivate them, but want them to fight hard with you. The benefits of big and big military leaders who have their own thoughts

It's not enough to get it, but you want to fight for your Feng. It's a damn thing that they are willing to work hard. However, now the Jinsui Army has captured Jinan, along the Jinpu Road, and the Jiaoji Line is advancing. The Longhai Line has an advantage in the confrontation between the Allied Forces, and the Pinghan Line defeated He Chengjun's Third Corps. Feng Yuxiang was in full spirit and full of confidence. He wanted to completely defeat Chiang Kai-shek according to his own intentions, so he felt that he was angry, so naturally it was difficult to listen to the suggestions of his subordinates.

Feng Yuxiang transferred the main force of the Pinghan Line to the Longhai Line to fight against Lao Chiang, but the Pinghan Line did not calm down, but it became even more lively.

When He Chengjun, the commander-in-chief of the Third Legion, saw that the real swords and guns could not defeat the anti-Cheng coalition on the battlefield, he took a different approach and opened up an alternative battlefield that was unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and "fighted" the anti-Cheng coalition in front of him, which was a great wonder in the history of war.

He Chengjun, whose courtesy name was Xuezhu, was born in Sui County, Hubei in 1882. He once followed Sun Wen and Huang Xing in the Xinhai Revolution and the Law Protection War. Later, he followed Chiang Kai-shek and became a lobbyist in Chiang's communication with warlords of various factions. He was known as a "genius lobbyist".

Some people may think it is a bit exaggerated to say that He Chengjun is a genius lobbyist, but if you understand his "lobbying performance", you can know that this title is worthy of its name. Not to mention it, since the Northern Expedition alone, He Chengjun's lobbying performance has been extraordinary.

After the Northern Expedition began in July 1926, during his station in Shanghai, He Chengjun successfully lobbled Li Zhenya and Ren Yingqi. Later, He Chengjun lobbled the Jiangxi military governor Fang Benren, and made him accept advice and became the 11th Army of the National Revolution.

In April 1927, He Chengjun, appointed by Chiang Kai-shek, went to Shanxi to contact Yan Xishan and persuaded Yan Xishan to send troops to participate in the Northern Expedition.

In 1928, He Chengjun went to the Northeast alone to persuade Zhang Xueliang to change his banner successfully.

In 1929, after the outbreak of the Jiang-Gui War, He Chengjun rushed from Nanjing to Tianjin, and then called Yan Xishan to send Fu Zuoyi to escort him from Tianjin to Peking. Then, while lobbying Liu Chunrong's division and Wei Yishan's division to support Nanjing Central, he lobbyed Tang Shengzhi to support Nanjing Central and use his influence to instigate Hunan troops in the Guangxi clan. In the end, Bai Chongxi ran away in plain clothes, and the Jiang-Gui war ended with the failure of the Guangxi clan.

Now that the two armies are facing each other, He Chengjun is the commander of Chiang's army on the Pinghan Line, so he naturally will not enter the enemy camp to lobby, but Chief He has his own tricks.

In the anti-Chiang coalition, in addition to the troops of large warlords such as Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, and Li Zongren, there were also some small warlords like Sun Dianying and Ren Yingqi. Most of these small warlords belonged to the two ends of the rat, and if they had milk, they would not be able to win over these small warlords to work hard for themselves, it would be impossible to do so without sufficient benefits. Sun Dianying once said: "Whether politics or war is political, it is just how to earn money back and spread the money out." Whether it is the alliance between warlords of various parties or the war between each other, the representatives of the warlords were drinking and talking in the tobacco restaurants and brothels, and large and small transactions were constantly signing and stamping. As long as the price was right, Yuan Datou and the tobacco were in place, the war would end, and it was indeed a "trouble that would defeat others without fighting."

Chiang Kai-shek was supported by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium, so he naturally made generous moves. For the representatives of these warlords, they could be considered as asking for money and women to give women, but they never talked about their position and did not ask them to stand on their own side. Although Yan Xishan also gave money, he was petty and gave people some benefits. He often said that he wanted the representatives to go back and persuade the warlords to send troops to help. As a result, more and more people were pulled over by Chiang Kai-shek, and even those who were originally inclined to Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan eventually turned their faces.

Since following Mr. Jiang, He Chengjun has also been a master of spending money. He has become a lobbyist for Chiang to communicate with warlords of various factions and has been reused. The Third Corps commanded by He Chengjun on the Pinghan Line were all miscellaneous troops with no connection with him. In order to win over these small warlords who could turn to the other side at any time and win over the people of the anti-Cheng coalition army opposite, He Chengjun spared no expense to collect all the prostitutes who were almost a bit handsome in major cities such as Hankou and Shanghai, and then prepared several floats to establish a so-called military home on the side of the front.

The float not only contains fine wine and food, clouds and mists, but also 3,000 beauties. In addition to serving the troops belonging to the Third Army, officers above the anti-Chengji coalition forces are also welcome to visit for free. The generals of the anti-Chengji side come here and have a good meal and drink, and they smoke famous cigarettes and smoke beautiful women casually, without any fees, come and go freely, and when they go back, they also give some silver dollars according to the size of their official position.

Looking at the officers of allied forces entering and leaving the floats in the opposite coalition, and the gratitude to him when he left the ocean, He Chengjun was proud: Since real guns and real ammunition can't beat your Northwest Army, then I, He, will use silver bullets and meat bullets, and you will still be undefeated?!

He Chengjun's preparations for the anti-Cheng coalition generals were thoughtful, and it was "there was always a suitable one for you". For a time, the morale of the anti-Cheng coalition army was floating, and all kinds of heroes were fascinated and flocked to him. The silver bullets and meat bullets attacked sharply, and the effect was amazing. The sound of guns and cannons on the Pinghan line almost disappeared, and only the sound of shouting and shouting and the desolate sounds in the phonograph floated over the battlefield.

Feng Yuxiang personally led the main force to fight hard on the Longhai Line, but the anti-Cheng coalition on the Pinghan Line had already reached the verge of collapse of the entire line. After the war, Feng Yuxiang, who had lost all his capital, sighed that his Northwest Army was good everywhere, but he could not stand it at first sight, and he could not stand it at first sight.
