Beiyang reactionaries

"Come out in full force."

Duan Xun looked at the map and understood that Cao Kun was determined to fight.Cao Kun's four divisions and one mixed brigade stationed in Shandong before, except for Wu Peifu's third division in Jinan, all other troops have already come out.

All deployed on the front line.

"Where is Zhili?"

“中央陆军No.20师（师长阎相文）、中央陆军No.20三师（师长王承斌）、中央陆军24师（师长张福来）、中央陆军No.20六师（师长曹瑛）、中央陆军No.14混成旅（旅长彭寿莘）目前都在保定、正定、邢台、冀州一带。”

"kindness."

Duan Xun watched Xu Yongchang mark several troops on the map.

Cao Kun deployed seven divisions and two mixed brigades on the Zhili and Shandong fronts alone.Duan Xun looked at Cao Kun's arrangement and sneered, "Cao Kun really believes in Zhang Zuolin. All the troops are coming towards us."

Except for some troops in Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe, Beijing and Baoding, which did not retreat, all other troops were transferred to the front.If Wu Peifu's third division is added, there will be [-] to [-] troops deployed on the front line alone.

This almost completely opened up Beijing to Zhang Zuolin.

"Teacher, I reckon there is an agreement between Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin. Once the situation on the front line is unfavorable, it is very likely that Zhang Zuolin's Feng army will also go south to enter the war."

"It will definitely. Zhang Zuolin will understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. However, if the battle situation is in favor of Cao Kun, Zhang Zuolin may cut off Cao Kun's retreat. Zhang Zuolin must pay attention to the situation on the battlefield to make a judgment."

However, with the pressure of Cao Kun's large army, the pressure on Henan has increased.

"Send a telegram to Xi'an, telling No. 20 Second Division (Division Commander Hu Ruoyu) to prepare to enter Henan for support at any time."

"Yes."

"Send a telegram to Kulun to ask Ma Xiaojun, the Chief of Staff of the Seventh Army, to take the No.13 Division, the First Mixed Brigade of the Seventh Army Cavalry (Brigade Commander Liu Fengchi), and the No.20 Third Division Cavalry Brigade (Brigade Commander Men Bingyue) to go south Participate in the war. Let Shang Zhen (commander of the Fourth Army) take full responsibility for the specific southward route."

"Yes."

"Send a telegram to Hailaer. The Cavalry Division (Division Commander Li Yunlong) and No.20 Fourth Division (Division Commander Tang Shengzhi) form the No.12 Army, let Li Yunlong serve as the commander, and Huang Chengtuxu serve as the cavalry division commander, ready to fight."

"Yes."

Since there is going to be a war, Duan Xun must mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized.

"General."

Duan Xun and Xu Yongchang discussed the battle plan, and Yang Jie was on duty at the Military Department of the Border Supervision Administration as Secretary-General.Holding a telegram, he came to Duan Xun's place and said, "General, Lu Rongting and the Guangdong Army are fighting."

287 Battle of Guangdong

On May 1920, 5, the Second Guangdong-Guangxi War broke out.

Originally, the eyes of the whole country were focused on the relationship between the Zhi and Anhui lines.Especially eight days ago, Li Houji, the governor of Fujian, suddenly turned back and fell into Cao Kun's arms.Let the already tense situation become more and more tense.

Especially between Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Li Houji suddenly rebelled against the Anhui faction, and Lu Yongxiang was the most nervous.He really can't wait any longer now, Duan Xun is very trustworthy, the second batch of weapons and equipment has been packed and ready to be shipped to Jiangsu.

How could Lu Yongxiang agree.

Therefore, Lu Yongxiang is already ready for war and will not allow Li Chun to continue to increase his strength.Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, is currently constantly stirring up public opinion, and he is constantly arguing with the Beijing government, Cao Kun, the patrol envoy of Zhilu and Henan, and Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu.When the scolding is almost over, they will directly mobilize the troops.

10,000+ troops from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have started to confront each other, and the nearest troops from both sides are only [-] miles away.In other words, the troops of both sides can meet each other as long as they march for an hour or two.The current situation is very dangerous. The troops of both sides will fight if there is a slight misfire.By this time the situation was completely out of control.

Even Cao Kun and Duan Xun are actively mobilizing troops, and have gathered nearly 20 troops on the front line.Everyone understands that the second straight Anhui war is just around the corner.However, both Zhiwan and Anhui haven't completely broken their skins. Although they have made frequent moves, there are still final steps to be taken.

That's the name.

The two sides have not played their respective banners.

When Cao Kun attacked Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang in the name of the Beijing government, and Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang wanted to "side the Qing Dynasty", it was the time when the two sides really fought.

Public opinion is paying attention to this.

See when the two sides will make the final mobilization.But when the two sides were accumulating their last strength, Guangdong took the lead in fighting.

They're not that particular.

Lu Rongting directly crusade against the Guangdong army in the name of the Guangdong French military government, saying that the Guangdong army is a rebellion of the Guangdong French military government, and this time the Guangdong army must be wiped out.Lu Rongting also became ruthless and mobilized almost all of his troops.

The first route was composed of Shen Hongying, the guardian of Shaozhou, as the commander, Shen Hongying's Guangdong Army Third Army, and Lin Junting's Guangxi Army Second Army.Attack Changning, Xinfeng, and Longmen from north to south from Shaozhou.

The commander of the second line is Lu Yuguang, Lu Rongting's eldest son.He led the First Army of the Guangxi Army (commander Lu Yuguang), the Third Army of the Guangxi Army (commander Lu Fuxiang), and the First Mixed Brigade of the Guangxi Army (commander Han Caifeng) to attack Longmen via Conghua.

The first and second troops met at Longmen, and then continued to attack the hinterland of Huizhou.Mainly to attack the main force of the Cantonese Army, including Wang Wenhua's Guizhou Army troops who obeyed the orders of the Cantonese Army.

The commander of the third route is Lu Rongting's adopted son Ma Ji, who led the First Army of the Guangdong Army (commander Ma Ji), the Second Army of the Guangdong Army (commander Lin Hu), and the Second Mixed Brigade of the Guangxi Army (commander Liu Zhenhuan) to attack Dongguan, and finally won Huizhou.This route is mainly to attack the troops of the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong.

In terms of military strength, Lu Rongting's troops have a great advantage.

Lu Rongting's first army and the second army have a mixed brigade of four armies, with a force of about 5000 people.The Guangdong Army and Wang Wenhua's Guizhou Army add up to only about 2 people, and there are many recruits.

In the first Guangdong-Guangxi War, the losses of the Guangdong Army were also very large.

Therefore, a large number of new recruits have been added.

Moreover, the Qian army is the Qian army after all. Although it is currently under the command of the Guangdong army, Wang Wenhua was once a giant in Guizhou, and the army is completely self-contained.

Lu Rongting's third army is a mixed brigade of two armies, with more than 2 troops.The troops of the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong and Guangdong they faced were composed of two divisions. The original troops were about 1.

However, the army has not developed in recent years.

Because the Yunnan Army is also relatively exclusive.Guangdong doesn't like recruiting troops, and most of the troops remain Yunnan officers and soldiers.Therefore, the number of troops has not increased. On the contrary, the number has continued to decline. The current two divisions of the Guangdong and Yunnan Army have about 8000 people.

The military advantage is great.

Lu Rongting made up his mind this time, he must put down Chen Jiongming.Lu Rongting knew that after the Zhiwan War, he might never have another chance.

"Teacher, Guiping Telegram."

"Say."

"Commander Li (Li Jishen) has arrived in Guiping and has set up a headquarters there. The No.16 Division of the Eighth Army (Division Commander Liu Duanshang) has set out from Guilin to enter Shaozhou, Guangdong. The No.17 Division of the Eighth Army ( Division Commander Wang Tianpei) troops stationed in Cangwu. The Ninth Division of the Third Army (Division Commander Wang Kai) has arrived in Zhanjiang, and the No.30 Fourth Division of the Third Army (Division Commander Zhang Zizhong) is in Guiping."

The Guangdong-Guangdong War broke out.

Duan Xun is the happiest.Duan Xun has always been very greedy for Guangdong.Because Guangdong has been the wealthiest province in China since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and Guangdong's fiscal revenue at the end of the Qing Dynasty was more than 5000 million.

Even better now.

"Commander Li asked about the next action."

"Don't worry about anything. As long as Guangdong can be controlled, what name doesn't matter now. Let Ren Chao (Li Jishen) figure it out on the front line. As long as it is suitable for the military, there is no need to worry about other aspects."
