This power was sent out, causing shock to all walks of life in China. Sixty thousand people were eaten in two days?
This kind of achievement may not be astonishing in Western countries, but if it is compared to China today, it is quite dazzling.
After all, in the earth-shattering first Zhili-Fengtian war, the two sides fought back and forth for several days, and Wu Peifa only managed to kill more than 60,000 people from Zhang Yulin.
Inside the Zhenjiang temporary headquarters, Lu Xiaojia scratched his head, thinking that most of the soldiers in the 1st and 2nd Anhui Divisions, after more than three months of intensive training, many soldiers are now proficient in driving ordinary vehicles.
He was considering whether to purchase all the vehicles for these two infantry divisions in one go.
It seems that it is not impossible. Although there are no cement or asphalt roads in Yuhuai provinces.
But there are quite a lot of rural dirt roads in the province. Basically there are dirt roads between counties and cities. As long as it doesn't rain, there is no problem in vehicle traffic.
After making up her mind, Lu Xiaojia went directly to the system mall and placed an order for 600 SdkfZ251 half-track armored personnel carriers, 720 Dodge WC trucks, 600 White T666 6-ton trucks, 420 Venice MB jeeps, and 180 M29 Mole trucks. Light tracked transport vehicle... There are no armored vehicles or tanks in it.
I'm afraid you'll think I'm too shabby, so I won't go into too much detail. There are 2 infantry divisions and a total of 6 infantry regiments. The standard vehicle configuration is in Chapter 6 of this article.
The total cost was about 10 million silver dollars.
In this aligned battle, Lu Xiaojia gathered most of the vehicles in the military camp, so these vehicles were naturally sent to Yu Province.
[System, please send these vehicles to the Xianjun Military Camp in Yu Province tomorrow. 】
[No problem, congratulations to the host for purchasing vehicles in the system and receiving 50,000 kilometers of "10-meter two-lane concrete asphalt highway" free of charge from the system. The host can place it at any time. 】
[Note: This road has good wear resistance and has a lifespan 5 times that of ordinary roads. However, the placement site must have basic road construction, such as mud, sand roads, etc., and does not include any bridges. 】
"Hey, is this okay?"
Lu Xiaojia was completely stunned. When would this broken system be of such use?
Before he could check the details, the phone number from the headquarters rang impatiently.
"Ring! Ring! Ring!"
When Lu Xiaojia came to her senses, she didn't even need to guess. This must be a call from her father, Lu Yongxiang.
"Hey, who's there?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yongxiang was sitting on a chair, picking his nose, and asked angrily: "You brat, you asked knowingly, did you lie to your father and me about your nationwide electricity supply? You wiped out Qi Xieyuan's main force in two days... ...Is that Lao Qi really that easy to fight?"
"Okay, okay, you are indeed my seed. You fucked Qi Xieyuan so quickly!" After receiving a positive answer from the other end of the phone, Lu Yongxiang stood up excitedly and slammed the table.
"Yes, just let me take advantage of the victory and win Huai Province in one go. I will come to Zhenjiang tomorrow for inspection."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yongxiang felt that his heart was in full bloom. As the saying goes, once a gentleman is a courtier.
"Hahaha, our ancestors have shown their spirit!"
His own son defeated Qi Xieyuan and captured Huai Province. Then he, Lao Lu, could follow Zhan Guang and be promoted from provincial governor to patrol envoy.
The Lu family has been patient for many years, and now it can be considered as a ticket to the Chinese hegemony game.
"Father-in-law, how is he?"
When Lu Yongxiang came back to his senses, he found Zhang Jinxi standing behind him holding a tea bowl. He quickly flicked the boogers away, pretending to be dignified.
"Well, that brat is fine. Jin Xi, please go back to your room and rest early. You will go to Zhenjiang with me tomorrow. That brat has been homeless for three days. This time I will help you get justice and have to break his legs. "
"Father, please have tea. I'll go back to the room to pack my luggage first." Hearing this, Zhang Jinxi couldn't help but feel happy, handed the tea to her, and left in a hurry.
"Okay, go ahead."
Looking at Zhang Jinxi's back, Lu Yongxiang took a sip of tea and shook his head helplessly.
"Why is this kid so out of tune? Jinxi's appearance and figure are both excellent. Logically speaking, a normal man would have long... failed. If this continues, when will I be able to have a grandson?"
"Butler Zhao!"
"Master, I'm here." A stooped old man in his late sixties walked out of the door.
"Steward Zhao, I asked you to find some strong medicine these days to replenish the young master's health. Have you found it?" Lu Yongxiang asked with a cold face.
He was also worried about this these days and planned to give Lu Xiaojia direct injection of strong medicine.
"Go back to the master, I found it. It is said to be a secret recipe of the palace. It tastes like a big ox..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Lu Yongxiang felt that these words of tiger and wolf were very embarrassing, so he quickly took the things, took out some money and rewarded the housekeeper to let him go.
At the same time, in the city of Pingjing, thousands of miles away from Yuhuai Province, small snowflakes as light as goose feathers also floated in the sky amid the biting cold wind.
In the heavily guarded Assorted Garden, in the hall of Wu Mansion, coals were burning in a brazier.
A man who is nearly fifty years old, with a short red beard and a long face and a tall forehead is warming himself by the fire.
This person is Wu Peifa, the most popular "scholar general" among the Zhili warlords today.
The highest official rank is the patrol envoy to the two lakes of Shandong and Henan, and the commander-in-chief of the 14-province coalition against thieves. He is one of the leaders of the Zhili warlord group in China today.
In 1924, Wu Peifa even appeared on the cover of Sam's Times Magazine, and was praised by the Sam people as "the strongest warlord in China" and "the warlord most promising to unify China".
Now Wu Peifa was warming the fire with one hand and answering the phone with the other, persuading him earnestly.
"Yao Shan, if it weren't for me, brother, I wouldn't help you. You lost too quickly. All your main forces are gone. What's the point of asking Sun Chuanfang to help you now?"
"Lu Yongxiang's current strength is still not bad, and I will not go south to preside over the crusade against Lu and Sun in the short term. Now Zhang Yulin from outside the customs is still eyeing..." Wu Peifu listened to Qi Xieyuan's request for help on the phone, and could only continue to persuade him earnestly and let him see him. Act on the momentum.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xieyuan changed the target and said that Wu Peifa refused to save him, "What do you blame me for? Sun Chuanfang, Cai Chenxun...it takes time for these people to assemble their troops. Now that you are in defeat, you are still announcing your resignation as soon as possible." , come to Pingjing and I will settle you in well."
Having said that, Wu Peifa showed no mercy and hung up Qi Xieyuan's call directly.
"Shuai Yu, Vice President Cao is here."
Upon hearing this, Wu Peifa adjusted his clothes and said to the guard: "Let me, Brother Cao, come in quickly."
"Hey, what's going on tonight? The whole courtyard of the Wu Mansion is filled with the smell of explosives. My brother Ziyu is so angry!"
A calmer voice came, and a tall, tall, paunchy, middle-aged and elderly man in his sixties with a mustache walked in outside the door.
And this person is naturally another big shot among the Zhili warlords, Cao Kun, the current Vice President of Beiyang.
A famous military and political figure in modern China, he was also one of the leaders of the Zhili warlords. He was notorious for "bribing the election of the president."
Cao Kun asked with some confusion: "Brother Ziyu, what happened to you today? Who made you so angry?"
"What the hell, this bitch Lao Qi didn't listen to my advice. Now he knows how to ask for help after losing the battle. Why the hell am I still carrying rocks up the mountain and I'm in trouble!" Wu Peifa took a sip of tea and said angrily.
Cao Kun also echoed: "Hey, this Qi Xieyuan is asking for trouble. He started a war without our permission. Now his main army has been lost. Without our support, he will definitely be dead."
Wu Peifa sighed. At this point, he had decided to abandon Qi Xieyuan, so he expressed his thoughts in person: "I am going to send a letter to appoint Lu Yongxiang as the patrol envoy, show my goodwill to him and win him over, so that our butts may not be broken. There was a fire in the backyard."
"Brother, what do you think now?"
After hearing this, Cao Kun thought for a moment and showed a sinister smile. "It would be good for both you and me to discard Qi Xieyuan as an abandoned child. I agree with this."
…
Ancheng, Huai Province.
Qi Xieyuan was already at the end of his rope. After asking Sun Chuanfang, Ma Lianjia, Cai Chenxun and other southern direct warlords to send troops to march into Yu Province to no avail.
He even began to plead with the Fusang people to intervene in the matter. After all, Qi Xieyuan firmly believed that Lu Yongxiang did not dare to argue with a powerful country like Fusang.
"Mr. Yoshioka, please help me. If you are willing to help me get through this disaster, you have previously proposed that I can sign and recognize the legality of all rights and interests of Fu Ren in Huai Province."
During the phone call, Yoshioka said helplessly: "Ali Masai, Marshal Qi, our Fuso Kingdom does not have many troops stationed in your Chinese mainland, so we cannot intervene in your warlord disputes."
"Toot! Toot! Toot!"
"thump!"
Hearing that Yoshioka also hung up the phone, Qi Xieyuan's body went limp and he slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the ceiling and muttering to himself:
"The 6th Division is gone...the 9th Division is gone...the 29th Division is gone too, and even my son is gone."
"A defeat is like a mountain falling, a defeat is like a mountain falling!"
The adjutant on the side saw this and asked impatiently: "Commander, what should we do now?"
What else could be done? The top brass of the Zhili Army abandoned him, and even the Fusang people drew a clear line with him.
Now Qi Xieyuan can't help but ask himself, does he still have the capital to turn defeat into victory?
"Haha, our army is helpless. It's up to you. It doesn't matter if you want to surrender."
After that, Qi Xieyuan slowly got up and walked towards the inner room with a lonely figure.
Looking at Qi Lu's photo on the wall, Qi Xieyuan burst into tears. He only had a son and now... all this was just because of his greed.
Trembling, Qi Xieyuan took out the Browning M1910 from his waist. As if he had exhausted all his strength, he pulled the slide and loaded the pistol.
"This is all my fault... son... I will come down to accompany you."
After that, Qi Xieyuan turned on the safety, put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth without hesitation, and pulled the trigger.
"boom !"
"Commander, what's wrong?"
The adjutant heard the gunfire and rushed into the house, staring at the scene in front of him with dumbfounded eyes.
Two hours later, a nationwide telegram was sent out from the north bank of Huai Province, reporting the news of Qi Xieyuan's death, followed by another exclusive telegram sent to the south bank of Huai Province.
