Chapter 367 Great Poet
"Fire the cannon and blast his mother!"
"Vega is back home!"
"Count the heroes, Zhang Zongchang!"
"Andy's Giant Whale Swallows Fusang!"
On the wide avenue, more than 2 Fengjun troops are being divided into several columns, marching from the west of Luxi to the east of Henan, and have already arrived near the east of Henan.
As the supreme commander of this army, Zhang Zongchang looked at the more than 2 soldiers under his command, and on a whim, he couldn't help standing on the high slope and reciting a poem!
Zhang Zongchang is a native of Lu Province. There is a saying that riches and honors do not return to their hometowns, just like traveling at night in brocade clothes!
This time, he led the Fengjun into Lu Province, and he had already obtained the promise of the old commander of the Fengjun. As long as he could help Ma Yuechuan, Jin Lianshan and others to defeat Henan Province, Zhang Zongchang would not be the governor of Lu Province. belongs to!
Therefore, Zhang Zongchang is very happy!
Vega's poem "Returning to Hometown in Hainei" also fits his current state of mind very well!
"Master, your poem is well done!"
"very nice!"
"That's right, it's even comparable to Lord Qianlong!"
"I think it's even better than Lord Qianlong's!"
Several subordinates immediately flattered them. As for whether it was really better than Qianlong's poems, they didn't know. Anyway, Qianlong was the emperor, so his poems should not be bad.
It must be suitable for comparison with Zhang Zongchang!
Zhang Zongchang was taken aback by everyone, he did a good poem, right? Then he might as well compose his own damn poem!
Also let the following people appreciate our Lao Zhang's literary talent!
"Um...."
"What are you doing?"
"Daming Lake, Ming Lake is big, there are toads on Daming Lake..."
"No, this poem has been done."
"I'm going to fight Lin Hongfei this time..."
"Hey, there is!"
"Listen, I'm going to compose a song "Beating Lin Hongfei Violently" this time!"
"Okay, okay, tell me, handsome!"
"We're listening!"
"Wait a minute, I'll take the notes!"
"Yes, write it down, write it down, and post it in the newspaper when we get back to Jinan!"
The subordinates were very supportive.
Zhang Zongchang pondered for a moment, then put his hands behind his back, and said loudly:
"Listen, "Beat Lin Hongfei Violently"!"
"There was a thunder from the sky, and Lao Zhang beat Lin Hongfei violently!"
"Beat him so that the blood flew everywhere, and turned into red plums when it flowed into the snow!"
"it is good!"
"Quack quack quack!"
Many subordinates clapped their hands and applauded immediately, flattering one after another one after another!
"It's imposing, and the poems written by the handsome are extraordinary!"
"Comparing blood to red plums is a good metaphor, a good metaphor!"
"It's the same as the bright moonlight in front of Li Bai's bed and the suspected frost on the ground!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the commander-in-chief has a brilliant literary talent, comparable to a poet!"
Zhang Zongchang was photographed by everyone with a smile all over his face. He touched his bulging belly and said:
"Ha, we don't compare with Li Bai, and we can't compare with him. We have some self-knowledge!"
"However, this poem can be regarded as my favorite work."
"Look, this time, I will definitely beat Lin Hongfei to the point of bleeding like what is said in this poem, and I will never dare to come to Yusheng for the rest of my life!"
Accompanied by Zhang Zongchang's triumphant march into eastern Henan, Fengjun's outpost troops also encountered the Shanling Army's reconnaissance troops.
Although there was no large-scale exchange of fire, the successive casualties made Zhang Zongchang cautious.
It is true that Zhang Zongchang is a carefree and rough man, but he is also considered to be a battle-tested man, and he still has basic military qualities.
Therefore, when he knew that the Shanling Army was infested near him, he immediately ordered the main force of the Feng army to slow down and build fortifications on the spot.
At the same time, according to the intelligence detected in advance, a number of troops were dispatched to seize some commanding heights, bridges and other places, so as to prevent these places from being occupied by the Shanling Army, which would hinder the Fengjun's advance.
However, Lin Hongfei naturally did not ignore what Zhang Zongchang could think of. He arrived the day before Feng Jun arrived in Eastern Henan.
Although the more than [-] soldiers under his command were exhausted by the rapid march all the way, there was not enough time for the soldiers to rest. Everyone could only brace themselves and rush to the predetermined defensive location according to the order issued by Lin Hongfei.
Therefore, when the troops of both sides started to compete for the same position at the same time, the battle broke out quickly!
"Marshal, according to reconnaissance, Zhang Zongchang's more than [-] people are mainly concentrated in the east of Lankao County. He has already sent people to dig trenches and build fortifications nearby."
"At present, it seems that Zhang Zongchang has no tendency to send the main force to fight with us for the time being."
"In addition, according to the intelligence detected by the telecommunications team, the Fengjun has more than 3 people in Zhili and more than 2 people in Luxi, and they are rushing to help Ma Yuechuan, Zhang Zongchang and other departments."
"Even if we add more than 4 people brought by Shuai Quan, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of military strength."
"Besides, the Feng army is still dispatching troops from outside the pass to inside the pass. If the battle cannot be resolved as soon as possible, we will face even greater pressure!"
After the staff officer finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lin Hongfei, and there seemed to be a bit of worry in his eyes.
It wasn't just him, the officers of the entire headquarters were all frowning, with anxious expressions on their faces.
The enemies facing the Shanling Army this time are different from usual ones. After the reorganization, the Feng Army can be regarded as the first-class domestic combat force in terms of weapons and equipment and personnel training.
Now, Fengjun still has the superiority in strength, and the officers felt such pressure for the first time.
Lin Hongfei naturally noticed the change in people's mentality. He knew in his heart that if everyone was not allowed to calm down and carry too much mental pressure, it would be impossible to win this battle.
Simply, Lin Hongfei decided to enlighten everyone first!
Lin Hongfei looked at the map and said after a moment of silence: "The Feng army is indeed aggressive this time, and it can be said that it has an absolute advantage in terms of strength."
"If we only look at the literal data, we are the disadvantaged party, and we may even be the loser!"
"However, everything cannot be discussed on paper."
"It doesn't make any sense to just look at the data on paper!"
Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei looked at everyone with a smile on his face, and talked about a past event:
"You are all people who have followed me since Lu Province. Remember when we first established a foothold in Jiangdu County, there was a man named Hong Tianwu who organized some shit [Jiangbei Allied Defense Force]."
"This Jiangbei Allied Defense Force is not simple. It has a lot more people than we did at that time."
"It stands to reason that we must be doomed. There are so many people in the family, and one life is exchanged for two lives. They are rich."
"But in the end, we still won!"
"What does this mean? It means that having more troops is not necessarily an advantage."
As he said that, Lin Hongfei took out a military newspaper, waved it and said, "This is the military newspaper I just received, and it recorded the number and list of officers of the Fengjun army that participated in the battle."
"You all know that I have old acquaintances in Fengjun. I just took a look. Among the officers of these troops, there are quite a few who have enmity with each other."
"Let's just talk about these few people. They belong to the old school of Fengjun, and they have a very good relationship with Wu Junsheng and Tang Yulin of the old school."
"There are a few of them. These people belong to the new faction of the Fengjun, and they only obey the orders of the young commander of the Fengjun and Guo Songling."
"Such a group of people fight together, let alone supporting each other, I think it is a problem whether they can march together peacefully."
Lin Hongfei's tone became more relaxed, and his expression became softer. He used this method to relieve everyone's inner tension:
"So, Fengjun has a large number of people, and it's not like 1 plus 1 equals 2."
"They belong to the effect of 1 plus 1 equal to 1.5, or even equal to 0.8."
"do you understand?"
Lin Hongfei's persuasion had an effect, and the faces of everyone present relaxed a lot, and the tension and anxiety just now disappeared.
At this moment, Lin Hongfei knew it was time to issue a combat order!
"Okay, everyone listen to my order!"
As soon as these words came out, the officers present immediately stood up straight and looked at Lin Hongfei with a serious face.
"Deploy four artillery battalions to arrive at a position fifteen miles away from Fengjun's position at dawn tomorrow, and then build artillery positions."
"Move 3 infantry regiments and a tank battalion to arrive at the front of the Fengjun position at [-]:[-] am tomorrow."
"Mobilize two infantry regiments to march urgently, and detour from the west side of Fengjun's position to its rear."
"According to the information obtained, the east side of Fengjun's position is its weak link in defense. At that time, an infantry regiment will pretend to attack Fengjun's central and western positions, forcing it to be unable to support the eastern position."
"The remaining two infantry regiments and the chariot battalion looked at the right time and concentrated their superior forces to attack the eastern position."
"Once you succeed, you must not stay or clean up the battlefield. You must continue to attack and expand the results of the battle. You must completely disrupt and destroy the Fengjun position!"
"Once Zhang Zongchang's troops are defeated and flee, the detour troops must attack immediately and join forces with the main attacking troops to attack Zhang Zongchang's troops!"
"do you understand!"
"understand!"
Immediately, orders were sent from Lin Hongfei's headquarters to each unit.
When the night fell, all the troops started the rapid march mode, and under the cover of the night, they quickly approached the predetermined position.
At the same time, in the headquarters of the Fengjun Army in Eastern Henan, Zhang Zongchang was not as nervous as the Shanling Army. There were several dishes of hot dishes in front of him, and a pot of freshly boiled white wine was placed by his hand.
In addition to him, there were three other officers sitting under his command, and they all drank wine and food, and drank happily.
"Sir, our fortifications and trenches are almost done. When do you think we will fight the Shanling Army?"
The face of the officer who spoke was a little red, and he drank a little too fast just now, which made him a little dazed now.
Zhang Zongchang took a sip of the liquor, threw another peanut into his mouth, and said:
"Don't worry, isn't Lao Song's troops coming soon? When they arrive, it won't be too late to fight the Shanling Army."
Zhang Zongchang was originally a member of the direct family, but later switched to Fengjun. Because of his thick skin and ruthlessness, he was valued by the old commander of Fengjun, and finally he has the glory he is today.
The more than 2 people under him are not just troops, but also the lifeline for him to gain a firm foothold in Fengjun.
If the more than 2 people were gone, or if they suffered a relatively large loss, Zhang Zongchang, let alone the governor of Lu Province, might not even be a division commander or brigade commander.
The army is gone, and you are still a warlord and commander!
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhang Zongchang will not just use his own troops to fight the Shanling Army to the death.
No matter what, everyone has to go up together!
Zhang Zongchang put down his chopsticks, patted his stomach, and said in his mouth: "Tell the brothers below, let everyone keep their eyes bright, and stay honestly with me in the fortification these few days."
"Don't care how provocative the Shanling army is, we must not go out and fight with them."
"If they attack, they will shoot and shoot back."
......
Guangdong and Guangxi
"Sir, the latest news is that the Feng army has moved south from Zhili, and now the soldiers are pointing directly at Yu Province."
"Lin Hongfei has left the Shanghai Stock Exchange and is doing his best to help Henan Province."
Xiang Xinrong, who was originally a special envoy who planned to meet Lin Hongfei in secret, failed to leave on time due to the war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
However, some work about Lin Hongfei was also entrusted to him.
Therefore, when the news came, Xiang Xinrong read it first, and then hand-delivered it to Mr. Yixian's desk.
Seeing this news, Mr. Yixian's face was a bit complicated. To be honest, he was interested in attracting Lin Hongfei.
However, during the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, he and Qi Xieyuan drove Lu Yongxiang, who was an ally of Guangdong and Guangxi, out of Zhejiang Province, which caused Guangdong and Guangxi to lose a powerful ally.
Therefore, Mr. Yixian was also somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Hongfei.
But now, he began to worry about Lin Hongfei again.
Xiang Xinrong seemed to have guessed what Mr. Yixian was thinking, and he said in a solemn tone:
"This time the Feng army is coming fiercely. Cao Zhongsan and Wu Ziyu have been defeated one after another. Lin Hongfei is exhausted from fighting. I am afraid that he will not be able to support himself alone!"
"If the Feng army is allowed to occupy Yu Province, then the North China area will completely belong to the Feng army."
"Moreover, the Feng army can drive southward and attack the rich areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In that case, the Feng army will occupy half of the country!"
Mr. Yixian sighed and said: "Yes, this is also the one thing that worries me the most."
"If Lin Hongfei can hold Yu Province, then he can slow down the pace of the Feng army going south, and even block the Feng army to the south of the Yangtze River."
"But if Lin Hongfei is like Wu Ziyu, he also failed."
"We have lost a potential ally and gained a powerful enemy."
"This is extremely unfavorable to us!"
Xiang Xinrong hesitated for a moment: "Do you want to find a way to support and altruistic him?"
Mr. Yixian shook his head: "Yu Province is too far away from us, we can't reach it!"
"The only way now is to hope that Lin Hongfei can resist Feng's attack!"
Xiang Xinrong nodded. Seeing that Mr. Yixian had no smile on his face, he changed the subject and said:
"However, this time the Feng army went south and overthrew the Zhili warlords. Cao Zhongsan and Wu Ziyu went to the field one after another through telegrams."
"Without the involvement of the two of them, maybe it will be easier for us to persuade Lin Hongfei to switch to us!"
Hearing this, Mr. Yixian rarely showed a smile: "Yes, if we can persuade him to our side this time, our hope of victory will be increased!"
