Chapter 43 The Sea (Part 1)

Rehe. Chaoyang Temple.

Although Chaoyang Temple is called "Shi" it is actually a town in Chaoyang County. It is the frontier of the Zhijun position, close to Beipiao and Yixian. Since the war between Zhilu and Lu, there have been clouds on the Great Wall. Therefore, Chaoyang Guardians have specially strengthened the defense of Chaoyang Temple and sent a battalion here.

Liu Jingxiao asked Zhang Buyun to enter the pass several times to attack the Zhijun, but unfortunately Zhang Buyun was hesitant. Although he was always holding a folding fan that "don't forget the clouds' shame", he did not have the determination to enter the pass at this time. He just mobilized the Feng army to unfold on the Great Wall line and make a gesture of entering the pass at any time.

The Rehe River is a bitter and cold place, and it is really nothing to be the leader of the big soldiers. Seeing the full moon shining brightly, it was clearly June, but the wind kept blowing, and there was a bit of coldness. A few soldiers who were on guard watched the inspector leave, gathered together immediately, got some wine and started drinking. When everyone was in a state of interest, they became more excited.

"Brother Zhang, is there any movement in the Feng army?"

"No! Don't look at it so arrogant that you don't even dare to let go of a fart!"

"That's right, with that playboy Zhang Buyun, how dare you mess with our direct soldiers!"

"But the war in Texas is not good!"

"That's because Chen Yunjie is not effective in fighting. We listen to the guard commander, and the guard commander listens to the president!"

"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs, Brother Liu, you heard of that..."

Having said that, his mouth could no longer be closed, and dozens of Fengjun troops rushed out from the opposite side, and each rushed over with a sharp bayonet.

"Enemy attack!" A sad cry resounded throughout the military camp. Then, as soon as Zhijun, who had just gotten up from the bed, saw the Feng army's bayonet formation, gunfire, fighting, and mercy mixed together.

Although the Chaoyang Temple guards had a battalion, the Chaoyang guards were masters who had vacancies. The actual number of people in this battalion was less than 300 and they were suddenly attacked. In addition, the old Hubei army was included in the incorporated, so it was not a powerful brigade. Soon, the entire barracks were trapped in the sea of ​​fire, and prisoners were taken out of the barracks from time to time.

Chen Sheng, who was waiting for the news outside the town, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got the news. His 240-pound body jumped down from the army immediately. The army immediately screamed twice, Chen Sheng let out a sweat, and then said loudly: "I finally took it down, tell the kitchen to prepare a large steak for me! Our division commander is going to have a midnight snack!"

Someone immediately went to prepare, and Chen Sheng said to the people on both sides: "What are you afraid of! It's great to start fighting... If we brothers of thousands of numbers don't fight, how can we rely on for a living!"

But a cadre asked, "Teacher Commander, this is not good... I went to war with Zhijun without the permission without Bu Shuai's consent. This is going to lose my head!"

Chen Sheng sat down on the spot and shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of! What are you afraid of! We took Chaoyang Temple, and the first contribution of this second Zhifeng War fell on us! Remember we won!"

Chen Sheng was originally a subordinate of Shandong Governor Wang Ziqi. After Liu Jingxiao started his army, he performed quite hard on the battlefield, but he won more than he lost. After the Battle of Guide, he turned to Duan Tiemin's subordinate. During the Zhiyu War, he was recruited by the Feng army and retreated outside the pass with Zhang Buyun.

Chen Sheng's troops have been fighting for many years, but they have absorbed a lot of soldiers. Although their subordinates are complicated, there are still a group of desperate people who fight in the war. Unfortunately, the military discipline is too poor and has been attacked by all parties in the Eastern Province and has become the target of public criticism. It is similar to Liu Jingxiao's experience in the Fengtian army back then, and there is a possibility of being dismissed at any time.

Commander Chen Sheng is also a capable man, and he can eat anything. He weighs 240 kilograms. However, once he is caught up by a bayonet, he immediately runs away. He is as capable as Bai Siwen and has a strong ability to control the subordinates. However, he has a very worried thing. The troops may be disarmed, dismissed or reorganized at any time. Although they are temporarily spared due to the clouds of war, they are now a frightened bird, and everyone is in danger. They are very eager to start the Zhifeng War again. A large number of troops are urgently needed. Only when they have room for survival. If they can enter the customs and find a place, they will not only live without worries, but also have a great chance of making a fortune.

So he led his first division to raid the first battalion of Zhijun in Chaoyang Temple, successfully annihilated it at night, and fired the first shot between Zhi and Feng. At this time, a guy with inflexible heads caught a horse's hoof: "Do you report to the commander Bu? Our army won the first battle to attack Chaoyang Temple..."

Chen Sheng slapped him, and there was an extra five-finger mountain on the boy's face: "We provoke the war between Zhi and Fengtian. Can we afford this responsibility? Report to Fengtian that the Zhi army gathered troops to attack our Beipiao today, killing and killing many of my soldiers. Later, he repelled for my loyal and brave Chen Sheng's army. Our army took advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Chaoyang Temple, and annihilate the enemy's battalion..."

The Chaoyang garrison commander immediately telegraphed the Beijing government, Baoding, Luoyang and Luanzhou garrisons, and Zhang Buyun from Fengtian also received reports. Both sides immediately took urgent military actions, and the telegrams of attacking each other were endless. The Zhi army accused the Feng army of attacking the first and preparing to provoke a war. The Feng army accused the Zhi army of taking action first and launching an attack on the Feng army. The two sides attacked each other. There was no consensus. The prelude to the Second Zhi-Feng War was revealed.

This is great news for Shandong. The Zhi army did not have the confidence to deal with two major enemies at the same time. The twenty regiments attacked Dezhou stopped attacking. Not only that, Sima Kan also sent two battalions to take a chasing posture.

However, the two battalions were his limit. The Zhi army had extremely strong combat power. The four old regiments in Texas were almost completely destroyed. As for the four newly formed regiments, they were immediately adapted after the battle. Each regiment could only form a combat-capable regiment, but they finally defended Texas.

Su Xue's old subordinates suffered heavy casualties. She and Bai Ling stood there and watched the wounded people lifted down. They didn't know what to say, but Sima Kan comforted him: "Braft Commander Su, Chief of Staff Bai, please rest assured! This time the 23rd Division can be said to have made great contributions. I think this number can definitely be retained. Besides, the division commander has captured such a large territory and needs people to guard it now. Please rest assured that the two of them, maybe the troops can be expanded!"

As for the troops from Henan, they are now moving north through the Pinghan Railway at night. Guo Junqing is also preparing to take the opportunity to demolish the Taiwan Strait, mobilize troops to the Zhilu border, and restrain the Zhilu army from advancing north.

Outside Shanghai Port.

Giant ships gathered, and you could see giant warships breaking through the waves at any time, one after another, frightening seabirds. The white waves hit the bow of the ship and hit the shattered water droplets.

However, even though the dozens of giant warships in the Third Fleet were of great power, they could only maintain a restrained attitude at the moment, watching several small ships outside the Huangpu River intercepting a merchant ship from time to time.

Lu Da stood at the head of the ship, and his sea-blue navy uniform seemed to have taken away all the blue sky and blue sea. He was full of energy. How many times can there be such opportunities in life!

Even if the Third Fleet has thousands of troops, what if it is? Since the Republic, who has taken a small fleet to the vicinity of Shanghai and forcibly inspected passing ships, stopped them as much as you want, and left as you want, and did not take the Third Fleet, which is known as the strongest in the world, seriously.

The officers of the Third Fleet were all on fire, but at this time Lu Da's small fleet rushed to the side and forced a transport ship of the Third Fleet. While tying flags, they shouted: "We suspect that your ship has transported prohibited materials to support Li Dingyuan's rebels. Please stop the ship immediately to check!"

As he said that Lu Da's fleet had rushed to the front of the transport ship and then jumped to help. The fleet flag of the Third Fleet had no effect on them at all. He checked and forced the inspection as if nothing had been found. Then, when there was no evidence, he forced the warship to go to Haizhou for inspection. The reason was that "precisely because there were no prohibited items at all, it was very suspicious..."

Now Lu Da's fleet sounded the whistle, and the entire fleet was ready to circulate, but the flag verbs made the Third Fleet completely speechless: "Our fleet is moving forward, please avoid it immediately..."

None of the officers' eyes were not breathing fire. They had done this kind of thing countless times along the coast, but they were not as arrogant as Lu Da. An officer jumped to the cannon, and immediately five clear-headed guys grabbed his hand and said loudly: "This is not possible..."

Although it only takes five minutes to solve Lu Da's small fleet, Liu Jingxiao's soldiers are now watching operas by Shanghai. No matter how strong the navy is, it will not last much for many years in this situation. Could it be that it will be a waste of Shanghai?

Looking at the reports on the table, although Miss Shen could maintain a sense of calmness, she always felt as if she was tired of her heart.

With the size of the southeast, it can no longer tolerate a neutral Shen family. Although he has done all his strength, facing Liu Jingxiao's 100,000 soldiers, he can't save the situation.

Although four joint mercenary groups were formed and the Shanghai Security Corps doubled, the Shen family had only twelve battalions of infantry troops on the sea. Although everyone claimed to be able to defeat the weak and defeat the weak, recreating the miracle of the southern expeditions in the north during the 40th year of the Republic, 50,000 troops defeated the 6,000 troops of the Shen family near Shanghai, but everyone knows that the miracle is probably difficult to repeat twice.

Although I set up enough chess pieces in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang armies, these chess pieces either lost all their military power or shook their heads as soon as they met. As for the reinforcements from the Zhili and Guangdong, they really couldn't count on them.

But at this time, an old man rushed over without saying any etiquette, but said quickly: "Liu Jingxiao is back!"

"Really?" Miss Shen's face was filled with confidence again.

The old man replied: "According to the Second Squadron report, after Lu Da's Shandong Navy encountered a cruise ship, he shouted a salute to the sky twenty times..."
