Chapter 16 You Can't Fight

Liu Jingxiao understood Chen Zhenlong's difficulties, thought about it again, and said kindly: "All my troops, I follow the command of Chen Guardians, and go north and north, Chen Guardians have the final say."

This is what I meant to win over Chen Zhenlong and do it together, but when Chen Zhenlong came to the critical issue, he refused to take responsibility and began to silly: "That's good...good..."

In fact, there was no expression. Liu Jingxiao was very disappointed. Chen Zhenlong motivated him at this time and said, "Brother Liu, do your best this time. If you have the ability, you will rush into Beijing! If you don't allow you to enter, you won't enter!"

This sentence means that Chen Zhenlong seems to be the main battle faction. Liu Jingxiao nodded, bowed to Chen Zhenlong, then turned around and said goodbye to Chifeng.

When Liu Jingxiao and Guo Junqing rushed back to Chifeng, the Second Army Command asked him to lead his troops to break through Xifengkou and half of the telegrams were filled with tables. The Liaoning temporary second brigade also asked Liu Jingxiao to go south quickly to attack Xifengkou in the name of his direct superiors, and said that the main force of the Second Brigade and other temporary second detachment followed immediately after breaking through Xifengkou. Fortunately, the 800 stone of grain allowed by Chen Zhenlong was also sent to Liu Jingxiao by local officials in Chifeng.

Liu Jingxiao had to gather a team to set up a marching column to advance south. Along the way, local postmen sent emergency telegrams, which said that only local security regiments were stationed in Xifengkou area, so that Liu Jingxiao could speed up the marching speed.

However, Liu Jingxiao did not dare to be careless. Instead, he slowed down the marching speed and distributed reconnaissance troops all the way. He sent two old company commanders, Sima Kan and Hu Bo, whom he could trust, to bring some soldiers from the search company, and rushed to Xifengkou area to be responsible for reconnaissance and search.

At noon the next day, it was only more than 100 miles away from Xifengkou. When the whole army was resting, Hu Bo and Sima Kan had already run back. They were covered in sweat. Hu Bo didn't even have to take a sip of water, and panted to Liu Jingxiao and said, "Jingxiao, Xifengkou cannot be hit!"

Before Liu Jingxiao could speak, Xiao Rulang, who was on the side, was already rushing to ask: "Why can't you fight?"

Sima Kan replied on behalf of Hu Bo: "The Eighth Division is now stationed at Xifengkou!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Rulang cursed: "Baoba! This is clearly to let us die!"

Murong Xuehai also walked over with the sound and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Jingxiao could keep calm and said, "Sima and Hu Bo arrived at the entrance of Xifeng, and it is said that the Eighth Division guarded there."

Murong Xuehai took a breath and asked, "The Eighth Division of Qi Er back then?"

Hu Bo nodded and said, "It was this division that I said I couldn't fight. They deployed defense along the line of Xifengkou, and there seemed to be some miscellaneous troops. Sima Kan and I estimated that the Eighth Division had at least two regiments at Xifengkou. Although there were no fortifications, they were very cautious. Sima and I didn't dare to get close, as if we wanted to fight out of the gates."

Murong Xuehai shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this deal will lose money! It's better not to do it!"

He came from a family of merchants. Although he served as a soldier for many years, he still couldn't escape the habits of merchants.

Liu Jingxiao smiled bitterly and said, "Although the Fengtian army has not fought a major war for more than 20 years, the information will not be so backward..."

After hearing Liu Jingxiao's words, Sima Kan pointed to the sky and swore: "I can guarantee that it is a brigade of the Eighth Division at Xifengkou. You know that Chief of Staff Guo had worked as a staff officer in the Eighth Division before, so I am familiar with his troops. If you ask Junqing to see it, you can guarantee that we are right, and the officers and soldiers who went with me can see it clearly."

Guo Junqing asked a few questions unique to the Eighth Division, and Sima Kan answered one by one. Guo Junqing's face was also ugly and said, "It seems to be the first brigade of the Eighth Division."

Wanyan Yuzhuo saw that Liu Jingxiao's face looked a little ugly, and raised the corners of his mouth and asked indifferently: "Are you just an eighth division? What are you afraid of?"

Liu Jingxiao knew whether he knew the internal story of the Republican Army, so she explained it in detail for her first.

The Eighth Division? This Eighth Division is different from ordinary troops. It is not only one of the basic forces of the Hubei army, but also one of the so-called "Six Towns for Protecting the Country" that established the Republic in the early years of the Republic. Its predecessor was more than 200 robbers led by Qi Er, Funiu Mountain, Henan. Of course, the current historical books are so popular as the "Anti-Jin Rebel Army". Qi Er took these brothers to eat meat and drink wine in the Funiu Mountain area, which was so happy.

However, such a lack of capital business also had a loss of money. At that time, the Restorative Army of the Refuting Army was unfavorable to fight in Hebei. The founding father Lin Siyuan led dozens of people to explore the way before. Qi Er, who was not very good at looking, actually killed the vanguard as a fat sheep.

When Qi Er's head was pushed by a new foreign gun, he immediately made a wise choice and defected to the founding father. From then on, Qi Er's fate changed a step forward and changed it to "Qi Polang", and became one of the founding fathers of the Republic. According to the official historical books, it is "an outstanding military strategist in the early days of the Republic, an important leader of the revolutionary faction during the founding period of the Republic, one of the founders of the Republic, and a loyal partner of the founding father."

More than 200 "rebels" of Qi Er were incorporated into the Restoration Army. Because of their familiarity, they quickly surrendered nearly a thousand bandits in Funiu Mountain. Of course, according to historical books, these people were also "rebels". Lin Siyuan was very happy, so he drew a battalion of musketeers and a cannon from the Second Town, mixed them with these bandits, and tied the Eighth Division to the Euro Army's chariot.

After the war, these so-called "rebels" moved to war for years, first expanded into associations and then into towns. There was no trace of "bandit spirit" and became one of the backbones of the Republican Army. Later, they obtained the Henan territory in the early years of the Republican territory.

According to Guo Junqing, the Eighth Division is now in the sixth regiment system of two brigades, with a very substantial infantry quota, with 2,500 soldiers in each regiment, and the total strength of the division exceeds 17,000.

The equipment is good, it's okay. The division has two field artillery battalions, the regiment has two six-pound artillery companies, the battalion has a reinforced artillery platoon, the infantry uses new guns, and the troops are also well trained.

Basically, according to Liu Jingxiao's estimate, even if it is the most optimistic estimate, his own army can at most fight the opponent's regiment, but in front of him, a brigade of the Eighth Division, and it is very likely to be strengthened by the division's artillery battalion. The current problem is probably not an attack, but how to escape.

Basically, this attack is similar to killing.
