Beiyang reactionaries

More importantly, Liu Zhilu was on the defensive side.Chen Jiongming's troops don't have any heavy siege weapons, so it is so easy to attack Chaozhou.Liu Zhilu is a general that Lu Rongting likes very much, because Liu Zhilu's ability is very good.It has only been a few days, and it has only been five or six days since Chen Jiongming's troops entered Guangdong.

Even if there is no war, it will take several days to march to Chaozhou.Chaozhou fell within half a day after Lu Rongting received the information that Chen Jiongming's troops were attacking Chaozhou.Could it be that Chaozhou was conquered in just one or half a day?

how is this possible.

Lu Rongting didn't believe it, couldn't believe it.Liu Zhilu is no idiot, the main force guarding Chaozhou, how could they lose Chaozhou so quickly.

"How come? What happened? Where is Liu Zhilu?"

"Commander, two regiments and two battalions of General Liu Zhilu's Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army have defected and joined Chen Jiongming's troops."

"Damn."

Lu Rongting was furious.

These damned Cantonese just can't believe it.Lu Rongting did treat the Guangxi Army and the Guangdong Army differently.Lu Rongting suppressed the native Cantonese troops, such as Wei Bangping and Li Fulin.

But this was not the case for Liu Zhilu's Fourth Division of the Guangdong Army.

Although the foundation of this army is also the Cantonese Army, but the leader who made this army incompetent is Liu Zhilu.Lu Rongting was quite interesting to them.But how could they betray themselves.

Two regiments and two battalions?

Although Lu Rongting's army is always the number of an army, such as the number of Guangxi Army First Army and Guangdong Army First Army.But in fact, an army of Lu Rongting's army is not as large as a division of Duan Xun's army, and it is not even as large as the number of temporary divisions that Duan Xun temporarily added.

Most of the so-called armies are only six to seven thousand, seven to eight thousand.Even some armies are even worse, with only three to four thousand people, which sounds nice.

Although Liu Zhilu's army is claimed to be 6000 people, in fact there are more than [-] regular troops.The rest are all after he came to Chaoshan and integrated the militia troops in the Chaoshan area into his fourth army. In fact, they have no combat effectiveness.Therefore, in the regular army of the Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army, two regiments plus two battalions are already a very large number of troops, accounting for nearly half of the regular troops of the Fourth Army of the Guangdong Army.

It is equivalent to half of the troops running away.

This is a long time.

Thousands of people ran to Chen Jiongming's place, which greatly increased Chen Jiongming's strength, and even Chaozhou was lost.

"Where are Lu Gongwang and Fang Shengtao's troops?"

Lu Rongting remembered that there were Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang Army and Fang Shengtao's Yunnan Army on the front line.The combined number of these two troops is tens of thousands, and Fang Shengtao's Fourth Division of the Dian Army is still an elite unit.

These two troops were on the left and right flanks of Liu Zhilu's army, one was about [-] miles away from Chaozhou, and the other was about [-] miles away.If the two troops gathered in the Chaozhou area, they should have reached around Chaozhou City by now.

Lost Chaozhou, and then take it back.

There is still a chance.

Moreover, Shen Hongying's Third Army of the Guangdong Army has already traveled day and night to support the front line.On the front line, Lu Rongting's troops still surpassed Chen Jiongming's Cantonese troops, and still had the upper hand.

"Master, this..."

"Say."

"Lu Gongwang's Zhe army stayed in Meizhou, and the Zhe army has not left Meizhou until now."

"The Zhejiang Army didn't move?"

"Yes."

Lu Rongting's hand holding the fan began to tremble non-stop.Lu Gongwang, this ungrateful bastard, your Zhe army's food and drink in Guangdong are all provided by Lu Rongting.Without Lu Rongting's support, your army would have disbanded long ago.

For more than a year, eating my food and drinking my food, and making you fight at critical moments, you actually stabbed a knife in the back.

Meizhou.

Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang army has always been stationed in Meizhou. After Chen Jiongming's troops entered the Chaoshan area, Lu Rongting had ordered Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang army to go south.If it was going south at that time, even if it was climbing, it would almost climb to the Chaozhou area now.

But you didn't even move.

Even if Lu Gongwang went south slowly to perfuse himself, Lu Rongting would not be so angry.What made Lu Rongting angry was that Lu Gongwang's troops didn't move at all, so he didn't give himself face.

What does he take himself to be?

Tolerable or unbearable.

"Where's Fang Shengtao's troops?"

Mo Rongxin saw that Lu Rongting was so angry that he could not speak, so instead of Lu Rongting, he asked where Fang Shengtao's Fourth Division of the Dian Army was.The Fourth Division of the Dian Army is in Lufeng, which is even closer to Chaozhou.A quick march can even reach Chaozhou in one day.

"He, he... The Fourth Division of the Cantonese Army withdrew to Haifeng."

"Withdrawn?"

Mo Rongxin was dumbfounded.

Lu Rongting even dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Sure enough, they are all white-eyed wolves.

No outsider can be trusted.Cantonese are like this, Zhejiangese are like this, and Yunnanese are like this too, none of them can be trusted.Liu Zhilu's Cantonese army rebelled, Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang army stood still, and the Dian army's fourth division even retreated?

Everyone eats me, drinks me, and now they all trip me up.

However, Lu Rongting has grown from a bandit to his current position, and his mental capacity is still super strong.Although he was angered by Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang Army and Fang Shengtao's Dian Army Fourth Division, Lu Rongting quickly returned to normal and began to think about how to deal with the current situation.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Send a telegram to Shen Hongying, asking his third army to quickly go to Jieyang, and reorganize the troops to take back Chaozhou. Send a telegram to Ma Ji, and ask his backup troops to attack immediately."

"Yes."

"Send a message to Li Gengen to go to the front line in person to supervise Fang Shengtao's Fourth Division of the Dian Army, so that the Dian Army must go to the front line."

"Yes."

"Send a telegram to Lu Gongwang, appointing him as the guard of Chaoshan."

"Yes."

According to Lu Rongting's anger, he wished he could shoot Lu Gongwang and Fang Shengtao.But Lu Rongting is not such a reckless person, so he still held back his temper.Even if Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang Army and Fang Shengtao's Yunnan Army did not help, Lu Rongting still had the upper hand.

Now is the time to appease them.

"Send a telegram to Lin Baoyi, so that the navy will quickly feel Shantou and participate in the war to defend Shantou."

"Yes."

"Chengdu and Chongqing are also making trouble?"

"Yes."
