Liu Jingxiao moved the front line and didn't rest. She directly found the front line commander-in-chief Han Xinhai and said, "Follow me to the army first..."

As soon as he appeared, the old cadres who followed him came to salute him. Liu Jingxiao first asked about his well-being, and then summoned the officers and soldiers to give speeches on the spot. He had visited the nearby troops in a few hours.

Then a military meeting was held overnight, and almost all the middle and senior officers in front were present, except for some of the people who were left behind.

Liu Jingxiao pointed to the map first and said, "This time Yue Zhonglin attacked Shandong. Due to Li Dingyuan's relationship, he would never pretend to go to Xuzhou, but would definitely go straight to Caozhou, and go directly to Jining and Yanzhou through Juye - lead the attack..."

Then Ding Ning took over the conversation and said, "The Shaanxi Army in Henan has always been known for its many people and few guns. There are a large number of new soldiers on the battlefield. We have many new soldiers. When we see this scene, we will be frightened. In this case, we need to carefully choose favorable terrain to fight. The areas with mountains and mountains are most in line with our requirements. Although there are many enemies in such a place, our officers and soldiers cannot get a glimpse of the whole picture. Although our army is few, it will not be fully exposed, so that the enemy can see it at a glance..."

Liu Jingxiao continued: "Our army can only use six infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments to the Shandong border. It seems a bit difficult to face the 200 regiments of the Shaanxi Army... And Caozhou and Jining and Yanzhou, the terrain is too simple, only north of Tai'an, that is, the line of Taishan in the East. The terrain is the most complex and can win the most surprisingly. Therefore, according to our plan, we had to retreat to Tai'an forever..."

Han Xinhai was shocked and stood up: "Wouldn't he give up half of Shandong?"

Liu's army has been in the Lu period for several years, and cadres from other provinces also regard Shandong as their second homeland, so naturally they are unwilling to retreat east of Mount Tai and send all their territory to the Shaanxi Army. At this time, Liu Jingxiao asked back: "If you guard the provincial border, how many troops do you want? The biggest crisis now is on the southern and northern lines, just relying on the 200 regiments of the Shaanxi Army in Henan..."

After snorting coldly, Liu Jingxiao said, "I don't take him in his eyes yet!"

Han Xinhai estimated for a moment and finally said, "Please transfer two more infantry regiments to me... I have the confidence to defend the provincial border..."

Liu Jingxiao immediately snapped and said, "That's good!"

A cadre below said loudly: "With our army's existing forces, we must never guard such a long provincial line. We must master enough mobile forces to make mobility..."

Liu Jingxiao glanced down and found that it was Sun Jinchen, his old subordinate in the Dingbian Army in Mobei. He was always gentle and kind. At this time, he said something. Liu Jingxiao nodded and said, "What is your opinion?"

Sun Jinchen said: "The predecessors said that Shandong is easy to weaken and perish by self-control, and attacking people is enough to be self-reliant and gather things. It has always been difficult to defend. In addition, now it is attacked from three sides. As long as a few places are almost broken, the entire territory may be penetrated..."

Liu Jingxiao said: "Concentrate troops to solve the problem of Henan Shaanxi Army? Our troops are a bit insufficient... At most, ten infantry regiments can only be used on this line! This is the limit!"

Then he said to Han Xinhai: "After this battle, our troops will be reorganized... The brigade's signature has been used for so many years, so let's change it..."

Although the current infantry brigade in Shandong is actually a standard three-unit infantry division, there are always some differences between divisions and brigades. And everyone heard that the Preparatory Second Brigade has changed its old sign: the 23rd Division, and Liu Jingxiao's own old troops will probably be adapted into divisions. Liu Jingxiao said: "The best brigade this time, I have decided to change the division to the 17th Division..."

The 17th Division is Liu Jingxiao's basic unit. In his eyes, the 17th Division is more important than the 1st and 2nd Divisions. Han Xinhai was also excited. His 17th Division number is the First Brigade. In this regard, even the cavalry battalion of Liu Jingxiao's basic unit can only be adapted into the Second Brigade. This war begins with him. If the Shaanxi Army is defeated with inferior forces, how could the 17th Division's number fall into the hands of others?

Henan's actions were probably similar to those of Liu Jingxiao. Although they were divided into three routes, the northern route was preparing to attack Dezhou and the southern route was attacking Xuzhou, they were all waiting for the Zhi and Su army to launch before responding, but the battle in the middle route was the most intense.

Yue Zhonglin drove the army to attack, determined to attack Caozhou on the south road, and then defeat Anwu on the middle road, prepare to attack Dingtao on the north road, and attack Zehe on the north road, but when the war begins, it feels a big problem.

The Su 17th Division never crossed the border to pursue, but now Liu Jingxiao acted as an active counterattack. If the vanguard troops on the side failed, his infantry and cavalry would still cross the border and block the killing. The first battalion of soldiers had just crossed the provincial border and fell to the ground and cursed at Shandong easily. As a result, they were bombarded by a burst of artillery soldiers, and then the brigade of cavalry rushed over with swords.

Yue Zhonglin also knew that both sides had broken their faces and rushed from the rear to the front line to supervise the battle. By the time he arrived at the front line, the Shaanxi army had already lost thousands of people.

However, the war was still smooth, especially with the great advantage of military strength, the combat troops on the southern front broke through Liu Jingxiao's troops and went straight to the city of Caozhou.

The Caozhou Guards' Regular Army had two local troops attached to one battalion, and there were also artillery companies to assist in the battle. They defended the city to the death. The troops on the southern front were mostly Henan-born miscellaneous troops. They had poor combat effectiveness and poor equipment. After several attacks, they were depressed and only surrounded the city, the north and the middle roads made slight progress.

However, in view of the story of Zhong Xiu's entry into Jin, Yan Donghai, Shanxi, is now in a state of province, which forces Yue Zhonglin to fail to exert its entire army. Now, the Henan Shaanxi Army has 150,000 front-line troops. Except for the 80,000 direct troops supervised in the rear, there are 70,000 people on the front line. However, it is found that Liu Jingxiao's front-line troops have only more than 10,000 people, and the chance of victory is very high.

At this point, Yue Zhonglin was determined to turn against each other and sent a telegram to the whole country: "Since Liu Jingxiao was in charge of the central government, he had always been in opposition to the central government, and he was not subject to discipline. He had no disclaimer in all kinds of taxes. He was respectful to the people of Shandong. The people of Shandong were suffering from such suffering... Now Yue was invited by the elders of Shandong and was determined to send troops to Shandong to eliminate the harm to the people... But some people who took the heads of Liu bandits came back and rewarded 100,000 foreign countries..."

Beijing's efficiency was very high this time. As soon as the telegram was received, Cao Ming stamped the order for the siege, and then the front-line troops in Texas began to catch fire on small-scale fire.

Jiangsu's actions were also very fast. Li Dingyuan immediately ordered the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition forces to accompany the Gan Army to launch a general attack on Xuzhou, but the tactics of the front-line commander-in-chief Jiang Nandi were really problematic.

This Lieutenant General Jiang Nandi was not a military cadre, but a military cadre.

Jiangnan himself is from Wujin County, Jiangsu Province. His ancestral home is Suzhou. When his grandfather was causing trouble due to rogue rioters, his family moved to Wujin. He failed to study and turned to the private weapons manufacturer where his uncle was located, and was responsible for the development of new weapons.

During his ten-year ten-year ten-year ten-year term, he had a rich research result. According to his memoirs, he claimed that the following weapons were developed during this period: such as zha medicine projectile (protected to be 300 mm in diameter, 900 mm in length, 10 kilogram group charge range 200 meters, and can also be projected cluster grenades and foreign oil barrels. This is Jiang Nandi's most proud weapon, but according to historical records, the only problem with this weapon is that it has never been successfully used, with a 100% self-destruction rate); the improved Kangriff rocket and its 12-tube joint launch tank (Lieutenant General Jiang Nan did not recall it in his memory.

The record mentioned that this weapon cost more than a large caliber cannon); a four-wheeled carriage that equipped a rapid-fire continuous gun (obviously, Lieutenant General Jiangnan had a problem with his memory. He proposed that the rapid-fire continuous gun was a hundred years later, and he had been ahead of the Republic many years); a new gun that penetrated all bulletproof vests and was invented and sold in large quantities (the concept of large-scale sales was sold for fifty branches, and of course the weight of the new bird gun also reached an astonishing eighty kilograms. Even with a new gun that could all bulletproof vests, Jiangnandi still had a bulletproof vest).

Originally, the weapons manufacturer was in a downturn. After he had developed his ideas, the entire factory went bankrupt. Of course, according to Jiang Nandi's own recollection, this was because of the low-price competition in the Shen Family Ordnance Center and the sales failure of the latest continuous bead gun, which was close to bankruptcy (see, Jiang Nandi's memory was problematic again. The first continuous bead gun appeared in the Republic of China 103 guns, and he had never produced a Minni rifle in the factory... Of course, Jiang Nandi always agreed to the inventor of the new continuous bead gun). He realized the truth that he had no right to do arms, and decided to leave the factory with his three cousins ​​and 400 volunteer young and strong employees, and used weapons to join the powerful and promising coach to create a world.

Just as Li Dingyuan went south, Jiang Nandi raised an army in southern Jiangsu and recruited a defeated army all the way. The troops were suddenly expanded to six or seven thousand. Afterwards, because of the success of the Meimei, they were promoted step by step under Li Dingyuan. Now, because Xianmei was promoted three levels in a row, he was in the position of commander-in-chief of the Liu army in front of the army.

However, although Jiang Nandi is a cadre from a military engineering background, he has a very high level of tactical command. After reading the selection of ten offensive battle examples, he has formulated an extremely perfect combat plan: protracted war and bunker warfare policies, short-term attacks, building bunkers in depth, step by step, building roads step by step, dividing zones, breaking up and attacking in groups, tactical defensive posture, taking defense as offense, and strategic offensive that is taking off attack as defense, encircling all sides, gradually advancing, and never advancing lightly. Finally, relying on superior forces to seek a decisive battle...

In short, it is the turtle crawling, and if the enemy fights back, it will retract into the turtle shell.

The elite troops of thirty regiments, with the strong support of Miss Shen, under the correct leadership of Governor Lieutenant General Jiang Nandi, under the wise command of Lieutenant General Jiang Nandi, the entire army rushed north to attack the evil Liu Jingxiao. All Liu Jingxiao's troops were defeated in sight. I attacked Liu's army quickly. As the end of the day, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang coalition forces had advanced 800 to 500 meters.

Of course, if there was no fire bullet from the scouts of the 17th Division (this was the most intense resistance encountered on the day. For this reason, Lieutenant General Jiangnan retreated his command center for a full five kilometers, and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition forces also retreated back to the original control area), the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition forces would definitely be able to advance more than one thousand meters. The Jiangnan Commander expressed great satisfaction with this result and decided to continue to implement alternate covers, overhaul fortifications everywhere, and advance the unbeaten strategy of four steps and three steps.

Under such circumstances, the intelligence personnel of the Shen family noticed that Liu Jingxiao had already drawn some troops from Haizhou to support the north, and he was even better for Lieutenant General Jiangnan. For this reason, he was more concerned about his food. In order to drink fresh milk every day, he raised a cow in the headquarters. In order to have mutton skewers, he raised five sheep, two pigs in order to get sausages and ham, and a few chickens. In addition, he also took away ten tanks of Maotai from the military officers' meeting.

The next day, Lieutenant General Jiangnan's troops finally accelerated their marching speed. At the end of the day, they encountered Liu Jingxiao's extremely fierce resistance and advanced as many as kilometer (you know! The security team commanded by Liu Jingxiao fired at least 50 bullets! What a fierce resistance!)

However, with the support of Hebei and Jiangsu, Yue Zhonglin became much more courageous. Even his own troops were sent to the rear to supervise the battle. However, this day, the troops attacking Cao County failed with the support of artillery fire because the 17th Division released 12 pounds of mountain granites in the city. The troops of Heze and Dingtao also encountered fierce resistance. The front-line troops were constantly supported, and the two sides even fought hand-to-hand combat. Although there was some progress, they were still far from the predetermined target.

After consideration, Yue Zhonglin decided to continue to join the direct troops, at least to attack the Jining front line so that he would not lose his capital. On the other hand, he urged Zhi and Su sides to attack quickly. The most urgent task at the moment was to capture Cao County first. As long as he captured a city and let the hungry wolf smell the blood, they would naturally attack. Under this consideration, Yue Zhonglin decided to send four divisions and two brigades to Cao County, plus three artillery regiments, the reinforcements reached 20,000, and the original strength reached almost 40,000.

Just after sending off reinforcements, another emergency report came from the front line: "Enemy cavalry was found near Mamuji, Guide..."

Yue Zhonglin knew that Liu Jingxiao's cavalry regiment had not been moved, but unexpectedly it raided to his rear. Ma Muji was an important station on Longhai Road, and the important place near Guide was not allowed to be lost. Yue Zhonglin immediately ordered nearby troops to reinforce in order to expel the enemy.

Not long after, the support force came another emergency report: "There is a fierce battle at Mamuji Station, and everything is still unknown..."

Finally, there was a completely unexpected news: "I found that Liu Jingxiao's main force appeared on the front line of Ma Muji, and now there is no gunshot at Ma Muji Station..."
