113 Siege of Xuzhou City
"Very good, the poisonous people did a good job, and they bought us precious time!" Hua Fei praised and immediately issued an order, "Order the entire army to release the guard post, and other soldiers set fire to eat on the spot. Kill the injured war horses to replenish food and calories. Take a night off, get up and set off at midnight. I need to launch a siege against Xuzhou before dawn tomorrow!"
"In addition, call Bengbu and ask them if the temporary airport has been repaired? Let them improve the airport-related facilities as quickly as possible. At the same time, order the Air Force's first and second flight detachments to fly to Bengbu immediately. They must fly over Xuzhou at 7 o'clock tomorrow to bomb the defenders of Xuzhou City!"
What? Attack Xuzhou? Even a carefree person like Guo Tong was shocked by Hua Fei's order. Xuzhou is an important town in northern Jiangsu, with 10,000 reinforcements from Huaibei and more than 10,000 new troops from the Beiyang Second Division above. Even if Xuzhou is successfully captured, he will immediately face two attacks. If Xuzhou cannot be captured smoothly, then the first division of the new army is likely to be surrounded by three sides, which is extremely dangerous.
"Captain, during the battle of Cao Ji, our army consumed more than half of the ammunition. Although it was replenished by the war, both food and ammunition were facing serious shortages. At this time, it was not a wise move to attack Xuzhou without the support of heavy artillery!" Chief of Staff Bai Kaijun quickly advised.
"Who said I want to attack Xuzhou?" Hua Fei smiled and walked up a high slope, asking back as he walked. "Hmm? Don't attack Xuzhou?"
"Go to send an order. This time we are a feint attack to increase the pressure on Xuzhou direction and find a way to mobilize the defenders in Huaibei. In that way, we don't need to do our best to launch a siege against Huaibei. We just need to return quickly and fight with the defenders in Huaibei! This is called... to attack the west and the west!"
Bai Kaijun suddenly realized, but this method was also very risky. If their movements were detected by Zhang Xun's troops in Xuzhou, they were likely to be attacked on both sides. Even if the Huaibei defenders did not take action, the plan would be lost. Explain that the food and ammunition would be exhausted, and the situation would be very unfavorable to the First Division.
As soon as Bai Kaijun raised his question, Liu Hai, the commander of the First Regiment, quickly inserted, "Even if we are noticed, we can quietly insert back to Huaibei with the advantage of sports, and it will take advantage of our efforts to occupy Huaibei. If the Huaibei defenders do not take action... we will use our plans and capture Huaibei City!"
"No!" As soon as Liu Hai said, Hua Fei immediately denied, "Our main goal is not Zhang Xun. As long as we defeat the Second Beiyang Division, we will be successful in this battle!"
Bai Kaijun was silent, and the other chief officials were thinking about it and went down to arrange tasks. Everyone understood what Hua Fei meant. As long as he defeated the Second Beiyang Division, he would never find Hua Fei again with the remaining power! Of course, Hua Fei had another meaning, only a few people knew. Once he had to deal with Zhang Xun's troops with all his strength, not to mention that Hua Fei would pay a huge price for it. He lost pressure. Will the impulsive revolutionaries attack Beijing and expand the situation? This is not accurate!
In Xuzhou, the sky was already hazy, and the sound of roosters crowing in Xuzhou City came one after another. Zhang Xun was lying on the bed and never sleeped overnight. Others may not know about Hua Fei's new army, but Zhang Xu had suffered from Hua Fei before. At that time, he had only 4,000 people dared to attack Nanjing City. He also succeeded. Although he later realized that there were many elements of luck, the premise was that luck never took care of cowards!
This time, Zhang Xun was full of energy and vowed to claim the shame of Nanjing in this battle. But a few days ago, he suddenly received seven thousand Yi troops and was surrounded by the First Division of Huafei within one day. In the end, the entire army was wiped out. The news was shocking. The impact on Zhang Xun was actually huge. Zhang Xun knew very well. Even if he led more than 20,000 troops to fight against Yi troops, let alone a day. Even if it was ten days, he would not dare to say that he could wipe them out!
Perhaps there are still people who don’t believe this news. But Zhang Xun definitely believes it because he understands that this Hua Langzi is definitely not an ordinary opponent.
"Report!" A sharp sound came from a distance. Zhang Xun immediately jumped out of the bed, put on a hurried piece of clothing, and walked out quickly.
"Report to the Grand Marshal. About ten miles west of Xuzhou City, I found a large group of soldiers. They were all fancy military uniforms in grass-green fields!"
"How many people are there?" Zhang Xun asked anxiously. "Report to the Grand Marshal. Preliminary estimates that there are at least ten thousand people!"
Ten thousand people appeared outside Xuzhou City at this time, and were armed by tens of thousands of lands. Who else would be there except the First Division of Huaxien? Zhang Xun immediately shouted loudly. "Quick. Send the whole city. All soldiers are on guard immediately! Send a telegram to the commander of the King of the Second Division. Tell them that Xuzhou City has been surrounded. Please help them to speed up and rescue us! Immediately send a telegram to Su Xilin, Huaibei. Order him to lead his troops to reinforce Xuzhou immediately!"
The entire Xuzhou City suddenly exploded. Huasha God came, Huasha God came to attack Xuzhou City! It's over. It's said that thousands of prisoners from Yi's army were killed by him. If he was allowed to attack Xuzhou City, would there be still living people in Xuzhou? Many people packed their parcels as quickly as possible and wanted to escape from Xuzhou City. However, it was too late. All the doors were equipped with machine guns, and they had all their strength to guard and block them tightly.
He ran around in the middle of the night and came to Xuzhou City. As soon as he got off the horse, the guard regiment had already set up a command center. Hua Fei picked up the telescope and took a brief look at the situation in Xuzhou City. He immediately ordered, "Each army defends on the spot, and the mortar company is ready for artillery. At 7:32, the Air Force is probably coming!"
"Guo Tong, go to Huasan quickly and ask him if the information from Huaibei has arrived!"
"yes!"
In the early morning of summer, the outskirts of Xuzhou are very quiet. The breeze blows gently, making people feel relaxed and happy, without the feeling of heat in summer. We should have seen the farmer's fields sparsely, but at this time, we can't see anyone looking for it.
Hua Fei sat on a dirt slope and leisurely looked at Xuzhou City shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Suddenly, Hua Fei felt a little tired. In the blink of an eye, he had been here for almost five years. Within five years, he had grown from a mere family team to his strength and scale today. Within five years, he also grew from 18 to 23 years old. He had been plotted, assassinated, and encountered setbacks. He also had countless victories and joys. But for so long, Hua Fei found that although his achievements were not low, he still did not change the country to a large extent!
The Second Revolution still happened. War is still inevitable. Soon, artillery fire will cover Xuzhou City. The war brings death and pain to countless people, but it is still a nightmare that Hua Fei cannot escape.
How wonderful it would be to be a peaceful and peaceful morning!
Wang Zixia didn't know when she stood beside Hua Fei, and seemed to be attracted by this situation. She slowly hugged her knees and squatted down, and grabbed a long grass with joy on her face and put it into her mouth. She seemed to feel Hua Fei's gaze, but she turned her head and smiled hippiely. She continued to look at everything in front of her, smiling without saying a word.
Hua Fei looked at Wang Zixia's side with a gentle face. Such a woman left her hometown and actually came to Hefei to refer to the military academy. To be honest, Hua Fei has always been curious. These days, although Wang Zixia has little words, she is very delicate in her work. She can always find any documents she needs. And occasionally, she will pay attention to Hua Fei's life.
But Hua Fei had never seen this girl smile like this. This was a smile that suited her age, and a smile that was joyful from the bottom of her heart.
"Assistant Wang, can you tell me why you came to refer to the military academy?" Hua Fei also imitated Wang Zixia's appearance. He pulled a tender grass into his mouth and asked inadvertently.
Prince Xia turned his head and saw Hua Feidi's appearance. Suddenly, she burst into laughter. Hua Fei felt a little embarrassed when she laughed. Do you have any problems with her?
"Hahaha...hehehe... Commander, sometimes you really don't look like the commander of the Anhui Governor, the commander of the First Chinese Revolutionary Army!" Wang Zixia's laughter took a moment and suddenly said this.
"Oh? Then what do I look like?" Hua Fei asked by spitting out his grass roots, throwing his military cap off, and laying on the grass.
"Like... like... I won't tell you if I don't tell you!" Prince Xia picked up Hua Fei's military cap and put it on her head and tried it. Obviously, Hua Fei's military cap was a bit big for her, but she didn't mind at all.
"Actually, I..." Prince Xia Di's mood was like the tide. Suddenly, he hugged his knees again and murmured with a little melancholy, "When I was very young, I often dreamed that I was a female general who died in the battlefield in his previous life. I have always believed that I believe that one day I will be like in my dream."
How would you feel when a girl in her twenties says such melancholy and vicissitudes of life in front of you? Hua Fei wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh!
"Are you unhappy? Don't you like to be my assistant?" Hua Fei sat up and looked at Wang Zixia's face and said seriously.
Prince Xia looked back at Hua Fei's compelling gaze and immediately avoided it quickly. Then she still hugged her knees and looked ahead without saying a word!
"Do you want to fight like them?" Hua Fei asked loudly, pointing to the soldiers digging trenches ahead.
Prince Xia was still silent.
"Wang Meng, go to the poisonous snake and borrow a sniper rifle for me!"
Wang Meng quickly brought a slightly modified Springfield and handed it to Hua Fei. Hua Fei didn't look at it, and put it on Wang Zixia's side and said, "Since you like fighting, I will satisfy you! But I hope you remember that you are a first military soldier, and I need you to live, not die!"
Hua Fei remembers that when he was at the military academy shooting range, Wang Zixia had excellent shooting skills. Seeing her being depressed all day long, it would be better to let her do what she likes!
"You fight with the First Regiment, but after the battle, you return to the Guard Corps to report immediately!"
Hua Fei's words were in a commanding tone. However, Wang Zixia still sat there motionlessly, but her shoulders were trembling slightly, which showed her inner excitement and struggle.
Hua Fei didn't care. He saw Guo Tong running in the distance and quickly met him. Wang Zixia, who was still there, could not hear the footsteps for a long time before slowly picking up the original sniper rifle beside him. His slender fingers struck the gun body, and Wang Zixia suddenly pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet, and everything flowed, and was very skillful!
