Chapter 56: The Victory March (II)

Duan Zhigui even the car was taken away by the small army of the army, the news of the small army was not lost, in Beijing, the section of the patriarch can not help to support the war, until Xu Shuhun went to the rescue, did not expect that he did not hold for half a day, fell into the straight army of the prisoners, this bad news reached his ears, only feel a sharp sky on his head.

Duan Qirui's eldest son Duan Hongye was accompanying the waiter to play Go, saw Duan Qirui shaking his body, can't help but be surprised, busy up to hold, asked urgently: "Father, you are all right."

Duan Qi Rui pushed open the section of Hongye, eyes on the board, his full anger seems to have a venting through, a turn over the chessboard, black and white pieces fell to the ground, making a clitling sound, the side of the section of Hongye scared a big start, the six gods without a master in the place, the door of the guard listening to the sound broke in, left to look at the right.

"Duanzhigui is incompetent, bad for me, bad for me big!"

Duan Qirui beat his chest and feet, like a hungry wolf in a cage growled, Duan Hongye or the first time to see his father is so glency, he was afraid, tremning relief said: "Father, victory and defeat is the common thing of soldiers..."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Qirui looked at it viciously and gritted his teeth and said, “Whoever says I’m defeated, who dares to sing down our army, no matter who will be sure to forgive!”

Duan Hongye was frightened by the look of killing of Duan Qirui, and he was afraid to speak.

“Where is it again?”Duan Qirui hurriedly ordered the adjutant to come in, and he still had high hopes for Xu Shuxuan, hoping that he would be able to turn the tide in the past when the dispute was in the former court.

The adjutant said: "return to the supervision, Xu commander just half an hour ago through Langfang, is expected to have an hour to Nanyuan."

Duan Qirui turned his brain around and shouted: "The telegraph is loud, don't go to the glazed shop, go directly to the Changxin store, supervise the war command army and Wu Peifu to die."

"Give me a direct order to the glazed shop of the army, do not love the war, quickly to the Changsin shop to retreat, tell them, take over the command is Xu Shuxuan, let them fight well, I in Beijing and other victory news."

The adjutant led the way, just as he was about to go out, Duan Qirui stopped him, his face was uncertain for a long time, only to be hoarse and dumb voice said: "In my name to Cao Yong and Wu Peifu power generation, told them that they must not harm Duan Zhigui's life, I am willing to use 100,000 oceans to redeem him."

The adjice turned away, Duan Qi Rui restless in the study back and forth, the foot of the chess piece stepped on the sound, his mind did not listen to the current situation, the war can not be won, he has been from the beginning of the determination to the present hesitation, he has more than once thought about how to deal with the defeat of the army after winning, but Wan did not think about what to do, then he had to think about this problem, then he had to think about this problem, so he would have to win the army, so he would have to win the matter, so he would have to win the army.Yin, Wu Peifu hates the itch of those who are itch, he is not in danger of his own life, Cao Yong dare not do what he does, but the fate of others is unpredictable, he must find a good way for these subordinates.

Duan Qirui wrote a letter, handed it to Duan Hongye, caressed his back: "Hongye, you take my personal letter to the Japanese consul, after going to the old house to pick up the small family to stay in the Six Nations Hotel do not come back."

Duan Hongye heard that Duan Qirui's tone was not right, and he was busy saying, "Father, at this time, the son should be under your knees, and the six-country hotel wants others to go."

Duan Qirui was silent for a long time and nodded, "Well, let the outsiders see that the tiger father has no dogs."

...

A military column on the Beijing-Tianjin railway, Xu Shuyu in front of the military map, two swords eyebrows into a Sichuan letter, from the dog teeth interlaced map situation can be clearly seen, the situation of the army has been bad to the extreme, worse is that the section of Zhigui was captured by the army, the blow to the morale of the military is fatal, even if he is in front of the small matter.

"Report, Commander-in-Chief!"A staff officer ran into the carriage with a telegram in his hand.

“Read it!”The tree does not lift.

"I supervise the electric instructions: the commander ordered the glazed shop army to withdraw to Liangxiang, Changxin shop first line of defense, and the old brother quickly took over the command of Changxin shop, and the direct army rebelled to fight to death."The staff officer read loudly, stared at Xu Shuxuan, and whispered, “Commander, how to call back?”

Xu Shujun's silent half-sound raised his head and said slowly: "Call back to the teacher, I should try to win, if I fail, ask the teacher to collect my body on the battlefield."

The staff officer suddenly took away with the electricity, the other generals in the car heard the words were changed face, a major general's general can not help but open: "Communist, our army's new defeat morale has been sluggish, if retreating, afraid that the morale is gone, how can resist the morale like a rainbow of the army, this is the next policy, for today's plan only to be born, in the glaz shop front line back to fight, there are a few points."

Xu Shuxuan said: "How can I not know, but the war situation is too fast, I am difficult to rush to the front line, even if I arrived in time to the battlefield, but also need time to familiarize with the army and the war situation, I think Wu Peifu will not miss the opportunity of our army without a leader, this moment I am afraid that it has launched an attack, Chi always must see this."

“Oh...”

The generals in the car sighed silently, and some people dared to ask: "Commander, how many chances do you have to go to Changxin shop here?"

Xu Shuxuan pondered for a long time, and said bitterly in his mouth, "Do your best to obey the destiny."

...

The glazed shop, the two sides of the 70,000 or 80,000 troops churn together, the front of the direct army and the armed forces of the Han army contact fire, the night of the gunfire vacated for half a day, the intensive gunfire like the big New Year's Eve firecrackers, the dark grenades rattled, the blown out of the flash shone out of the army with the bayonets, in the light of the fire.

In the war of tens of thousands of people, a series of dozens of people led by Han Baihang like a drop in the sea, he planned to take the initiative to fight independently from the army, but he could wait for the battle to fight, only to find that he did not know when he was out of touch with the big army, only to see the army in all directions, and there was no trace of the friendly army.

Han Baihang scared out of a cold sweat, the troops even into the enemy pile, quickly ordered to seize the terrain for defense, the attack of the army from all sides, thought that this would be a vicious battle, but a burst to see the doorway, although the army strength is more, the attack is weak, like a heartless love war, often a swarm of sprints, was a burst of guns to fight back, he fought back several times in a row, he firmly believed in his heart.With a single order, the whole company of soldiers with bayonets jumped up, a wave of waves to the Wan army launched a backlash, after a fight, the Wan army could not support, turned around and fled.

Han Baihang shouted with a barrage gun: "Follow, follow behind their ass, we want to be the first to hit the glazed shop station."
