Chapter 171 170. The Three-Day War in Zhiwan

The Zhi-Anhui war was full of turmoil, disturbing both China and foreign countries, but it took only three days to officially open fire, including the beginning and end, it was only five days. On the evening of July 14th, 9th year of the Republic of China, both Zhiwan and Anhui officially opened fire.The Zhijun Army, known as the Rebellion Army, was divided into two groups. Wu Peifu was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and the commander-in-chief of the West Route; Zhengzhou is the commander-in-chief of the rear.The West Road is the battlefield of the main forces of both sides, the Zhijun is in Gaobeidian, and the Anhui Army is in Zhuozhou, Gu'an and Laishui.

On the 14th, the First Army of the Anhui Army, with the 15th Division as the vanguard, attacked the Third Division of the Zhijun Army, and the Zhijun Army withdrew from Gaobeidian.On the same day, the Anhui Army of the East Road attacked the Zhijun Army of Yangcun from Liangzhuang and Beibei Temple. The Zhijun Army set up cannons beside the railway bridge. On the 16th, the Japanese road guard team arrived in Tianjin and forced the Zhijun army to retreat two miles away from the railway line. As a result, a gap was opened in the Zhijun defense line, and the Anhui army took advantage of the gap to enter.Zhijun abandoned Yangcun and retreated to Beicang, so the Beijing-Tianjin Railway could not be opened to traffic.

From the 14th to the 16th, during the three-day war, a total of two battles were fought, and the direct army was defeated. On the 17th, the situation of the war changed, especially in the western battlefield. After Wu Peifu withdrew from Gaobeidian, he led a direct army out of the Songlindian between Zhuozhou and Gaobeidian on the left wing, and carried out an assault. The location of the headquarters.Everything in the headquarters was very peaceful, and Qu Tongfeng spent all his time preparing to go straight to Baoding and capture Cao Wu alive to make an immortal contribution.Unexpectedly, the sound of gunfire erupted, and the enemy had already covered up.Legend has it that Wu Peifu led elite soldiers into Qu's headquarters on light cavalry. Qu Wu originally had a teacher-student relationship. It turned out that Qu Tongfeng had taught in the Military Academy, and Wu Peifu had been trained in the Academy, so they should be teachers and students. Wu saw Qu also gave a military salute, and then asked the "teacher prisoner" to board the car and go to Baoding.

Since Qu Tongfeng and all the senior generals of the headquarters were captured, Liu Xun's 15th Division and Chen Wenyun's 3rd Division of the Frontier Defense Army retreated from Gaobeidian like a mountain falling and an embankment collapsed. They occupied Zhuozhou and pursued Changxindian.The 15th Division originally belonged to the Zhijun Army and was Feng Guozhang's guard. Because this army had been within a certain range after Feng's death, it was forced to come to fight. Now the situation has changed, so the commander of the 29th Brigade of the division Zhang Guorong and Qi Baoshan, commander of the 30th brigade, led some soldiers to surrender to Wu Peifu.The other part retreated to Beijing, and Duan hurriedly ordered the city gates to be closed to prevent them from entering the city.

The changes in the Eastern battlefield are naturally due to the support of the army, the joint direct army, and the attack on the Anhui army. On the 17th, Xu Shuzheng hurried back to Beijing when he heard that the Anhui army on the western front had been defeated in Langfang. The border guards under his command surrendered to the straight army without a commander. On the 17th, the Tianjin Consular Corps dispatched troops from the United States, Britain, France, and Japan to repair the Yangcun Railway, and the Beijing-Tianjin train resumed operation. On the same day, Wu Peifu called Cao Kun to report the victory, briefly saying:

"Currently Commander Qu Tongfeng of the First Division of the Frontier Army suffered too many casualties and was inhumane. He sent his adjutant Wu Jingmin and the Catholic priest Li to ask for a truce. He has sent the accompanying battalion officer Hui Chunzhi to contact him. Brigadier Qi of the 15th Division Chen'an, brigade commander Zhang Gongchen also sent a deacon to come with a letter, saying that the division was originally the same as the Zhijun, but because of the unavoidable difficulties under the accumulated power, he was willing to return with the whole division. The division commander immediately invited Qi to come to the Songlin store. We decided on a method, and now that the frontal artillery fire on both sides has been extinguished, the front line is still strictly guarded. Then I received a phone call from the front to report that the entire division of Chen Wenyun had been scattered by the right-wing Xiao and Peng brigades of our army, and Qu Tongfeng's brigade was willing to surrender. Fifteenth The division completely surrenders to our army, and the sixth brigade can arrive at Liulihe tomorrow morning, and the brigade commander Guo of the Fengjun is now stationed outside the east gate of Zhuozhou, and will enter the city tomorrow morning, and the division commander will also arrive in Zhuo tomorrow."

On July 18, Qu Tongfeng, one of the coaches of the Anhui Army, went to Baoding, and officially held a knife offering ceremony in Cao Kun's guest house "Guangyuan".Cao Kun claimed to respect Ming general Qi Jiguang as a man, so he named this guest house for foreign guests "Guangyuan". Qu Tongfeng is from Shandong, he is from the same village as Wu Peifu, and he is also an acquaintance with Cao Kun. When they meet this time, one is the master and the other is a prisoner.But Qu Tongfeng is very knowledgeable about current affairs, he said that he voluntarily surrendered, so he was willing to let his old friend hold a "surrender ceremony".Cao Kun stood in the hall. Qu Tongfeng was accompanied by the generals of the Zhijun Army. He entered the hall in full uniform and walked clangingly. There were other captured officers behind him. Qu first untied the saber from his waist, held Cao Kun with both hands, and He said in a loud voice: "I am willing to surrender to your envoy today. I offer my general sword and swear that I will never be an enemy of your army." The general said: "This envoy is willing to accept your commander's surrender today. I admire your commander's bravery in battle. I am deeply admirable. The special general sword is returned. Please wear it. This envoy will give your commander the best treatment in accordance with the regulations on preferential treatment of prisoners." "After the surrender ceremony was completed, the two shook hands to reminisce about the old days, and they were as happy as ever.

After Cao Kun accepted the surrender, he immediately sent out a power-on cloud: "To inform you, yesterday Duan Jun Qu Tongfeng and others have arrived in Baoding. When we met, Qu and others took off their swords by themselves and held them to Kun Yun with both hands: I am willing to surrender under the command of your envoy. And I swore: They During the period of captivity, there will never be any actions that violate the purpose of the army. You Kun accepted the saber with both hands, and said: "This envoy accepts the deacon's surrender. Your Excellency is brave and admirable. You still raise the saber and wear it back, and you can enjoy it." The freedom of treatment of captives in military practice, except for a small number of timid soldiers and those who have the qualifications of dirty soldiers, the rest are treated preferentially by the army according to their rank. Such military captives will be tried in formal courts in the future. Except for the front army, the captives will be treated in this way. Exceptions are made, and the entire army is strictly ordered not to feel revenge because Duan Qirui recently offered a reward for the lives of Kun and others, and violate the main purpose of soldiers to maintain humanity outside of war, this order."

After Qu Tongfeng offered his knife in Baoding, he immediately sent a telegram to advise the frontier guards to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and join forces to fight against the "thieves".After Duan Qirui learned of Qu Tongfeng's humiliating surrender and saber scene in Beijing and the power-up call to discuss Duan, the general situation was over, and it was too late. Duan Zhigui used the train as his headquarters, and even played mahjong during the war. As the commander, it was such a joke, no wonder the Anhui Army was vulnerable.Xiao Duan was famous for playing mahjong in the Beiyang era. At that time, Liang Shiyi, Duan Zhigui, Wang Kemin, Sun Muhan, Pan Fu, Zhang Hu, etc. were good at playing mahjong in Beiyang. Especially Liang, Duan, Wang and Sun would get together almost every night and often gamble until dawn.Liang Shiyi doesn't care about his size, he often watches official business at the poker table.

Xiao Duan commanded the Zhiwan War at the poker table. When news of his defeat came, he yelled to run away by train before the game was over. Later, it became a joke in Beijing and was listed as a good story in the wild history of the Zhiwan War. Poor Duan Qirui used two generals, Duan Zhigui and Qu Tongfeng, how undefeated. Duan Zhigui was defeated and fled back to Beijing. The newsletter in the Shanghai newspapers at that time was spread as a joke, and a few passages are specially transcribed as follows: Duan Zhigui, the commander-in-chief of the Dingguo Army, supervised the battle in front of the enemy, and his office was set up on the train.There is a wooden sign hanging in front of the car, with the words "Department of the Commander-in-Chief" in a big book, and there are more than a hundred people working on it.In addition to military supplies, there are fourteen sets of smoking guns and trays, hundreds of dozens of ho-ho water, seven sets of mahjong cards, and twenty-four food stewards.When the vanguard and the Zhi army came into contact, the battle suffered a minor setback, and all the attendants knew that there would be no luck, so they advised Xiao Duan to do it early, and Xiao Duan said: "I swear to live and die with the Dingguo army, everyone is afraid of death, so please return to Beijing to enjoy it. "The crowd was strong with their words, and they all retreated without resignation.On the 13th, the first battalion of the Zhijun Army came to feign surrender, Xiao Duan Yi boasted.In the middle of the night, the surrendered army attacked the general headquarters, and Xiao Duan fell from the car to the ground and passed out.Hidden for a station master.At dawn, the false surrender army retreated, and the station master began to send it back to the headquarters.The followers asked together, and Xiao Duan said: "What's so strange about this? A gentleman can deceive him without injury." That is to say, he went to the car to check the opium, lay down and sucked it.People rely on it for their calmness.On the next night, when gunshots were heard in the northwest, all the entourage went to the commander's bedroom to ask for instructions.Xiao Duan had disappeared, and got the report, knowing that it was our army on sentry. Although the hearts of the people were at ease, the commander-in-chief disappeared, searched everywhere, and disturbed all night.So the crowd all laughed, and the prestige of the commander-in-chief was wiped out.When the 15th Division of the former enemy was defeated and retreated, Xiao Duan mistakenly called the straight army, and urgently ordered the first division to attack it. Knowing the misunderstanding, the soldiers of the 15th Division killed each other and were furious.After seeing the head of the commander-in-chief's train headed north, he knew that the general was about to flee, so he shot with a machine gun, and Xiaoduan urgently ordered the train to hang a dragon head, and fled back to Beijing.Hundreds of soldiers along the road blocked the way, intending to tell Xiao Duan about the first division shooting from behind and killing each other, but Xiao Duan didn't care about life and death, but ordered to drive, causing many people to be run over to death.Arriving at the Beijing apartment, the family gathered together to inquire, and only touched their heads with their hands, repeatedly saying that it was dangerous, and there was nothing else to say.Later, it was heard that the station manager, Zang Duan, was shot dead by the Zhijun.Xiao Duan kowtowed to Kong, wept bitterly, saying that he was a benefactor who saved his life, and also extended the way of monks at home to save him.Suddenly, under the order of arresting the culprit, he fled into Dongjiaomin Lane in embarrassment, and the monk's Taoist temple also stopped halfway. This is also a funny history among the soldiers of the national army.

Duan Zhigui took the title of Dingguo Army, his former enemy was defeated, he returned to Beijing in embarrassment, and resigned by telegram.Although the wording of the telegram is not very good, but the parallelism is quite fluent, and the speaker said that when he fled in a hurry, he was able to search his belly. It's interesting to talk about.First, Xiao Duan had a teacher named Jia, an old pedant, before Wanzhi broke up, Xiao Duan was eager to try, and fought very hard, but A tried to persuade him, but refused to listen.And was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Dingguo Army. He wanted to make a declaration, which was used to inform the soldiers and ordered Jia to draft it. There were many loyal and patriotic words in the book.A, although his mind is cold, but he insists on pretending to be a literary hero, is quite displeased.Leng Yu said to Duan: "Although my essay is not good, I originally prepared two drafts. Now I stop reading one of them, that is, I hurriedly ask others to catch the knife. My second draft has no room to be submitted to Justop for correction. I can save it for future reference. "Xiao Duan ignored it because of his circuitousness.And Xiao Duan fled back to the capital from the former enemy, the wind was raging, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers. He urgently planned to resign from the commander-in-chief by telegram, hoping to reduce the crime.Qian Ren looked for the person who wrote the manifesto, and had fled first.As a last resort, Central Jia did it, and Jia immediately issued a telegram in his sleeve, saying: "I have a second draft of my preface, and I have already prepared it." Defeated, there is a sense of sarcasm, tore up the manuscript, and threw it on the ground in anger.A sneered and went out, before reaching the atrium, Xiao Duan chased after him personally and said: "I know that you are kind and generous, and you are very funny. I don't care about it. Please record it according to the original manuscript again. I will not be easy to say a word." The draft drafted by the teacher was sent out, so the wording was very calm. Now I am transcribing the notes of two people who witnessed the incident at that time.One is Zhang Yiling's Zhiwan "Secret History": "The war zone between the Zhiwan and Anhui armies is divided into east and west routes. The east route is along the Beijing-Feng Railway; the west route is along the Beijing-Han Railway. The commander of the east route of the Anhui army is Xu Shuzheng, and the commander of the west route is Duan Zhigui. The Zhijun sent Wu Peifu as the commander of the west route. Commander-in-Chief. Cao Kai is the commander-in-chief of the East Route. The battles of the two routes are listed as follows: Battle situation on the East Road: At 9:30 on the night of July 15th, the Northwest Army's Second Mixed Brigade, Infantry, Artillery, Workers, and Supplies, as well as the Second Infantry Regiment of the Third Division of the Frontier Defense Army, had a total of about 15,000 troops. , divided into three routes Zhangzhuang, Caizhuang, Queen's store to attack Yangcun's direct army defense line.The Zhili army in Yangcun is the fourth mixed brigade, divided into infantry, horse, artillery, industrial, supply, and machine gun teams, and there are also 20 battalions of Zhili garrison troops, with a total of about 20,000 people.Ten miles north of Yangcun, the battle officially started, and the guns fired, and the bloody battle was fierce.Duan Bing is unwilling to fight.However, being persecuted by the Shangguan, he fired at will without asking the direction. The artillery team was also divided into three teams to bombard, each team had about six field cannons.The morale of the Zhi army was very strong, and they were extremely calm. They also lined up to fight back. The battle lasted until 2:30 midnight.By the morning of the 16th, the bloody battle between the two armies had become more intense, and the direct army had won the victory.The Zhi army lined up many cannons on both sides of the suspension bridge at Yangcun Station to defend against the enemy, and this place is right next to the Japanese defense force stationed there.When the frontier army was defeated, many Japanese officers suddenly came forward to protest, and they had to remove all the cannons in the area immediately, and declared that they were not allowed to fight within two miles of the railway.Zhijun had no choice but to retreat.At that time, the frontier army swarmed in from the gap in the straight army's defense line, and the momentum was extremely fierce.Because the left and right wings could not be united, the straight army was quite difficult, so the machine gun team was specially used to retreat, and the order was retreated. , the situation is set.From time to time, a battalion of the Feng army rushed to help, and its reputation was greatly boosted.The heirs came one after another, so on the morning of the 17th, they jointly attacked with the Zhi army, and attacked fiercely from the corridor.From then on, Duan's army fell into a slump. He fought against Fengzhi's army for several days, and retreated.Twenty days later, all the troops along the Jingfeng line had fled, and they wanted to flee to the Mongolian border. Wang Tingzhen, the capital of Chahar, and Cai Chengxun, the capital of Suiyuan, blocked them with separate troops.When Xu Shuzheng was defeated in the war, he fled back to Beijing. He either lived in the Liuguo Hotel, or went to a family in a certain country. His whereabouts were mysterious and unpredictable. Battle situation on the West Road: At 8:00 p.m. on the 14th, the cavalry of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Liulihe Frontier Defense Army and the 1st Battalion of the 13th Division's infantry launched a general attack on the 2nd Battalion of the 12th Regiment of the Zhizhi Army. The two sides fought for as long as two hours.At the beginning, the Zhi army was fierce, so they retreated a little.The frontier army advanced, and just about to seize the first line of defense, the straight army suddenly counterattacked, but the frontier army was unable to resist and retreated to the original line.At eleven o'clock, the frontier army went to attack the third battalion on the right wing of the straight army, and the second battalion of the straight army was copied from the right wing of the frontier army.At ten o'clock in the evening on the 15th, Duan's army attacked the direct army stationed in Gaobeidian again, and Wu Peifu led an army to intercept Duan's army.Duan Zhigui gave another order to push forward, but the soldiers did not respond, the two wings retreated first, and the frontal army also retreated for about 30 li.On the 16th, the two armies fought, and Duan's army was defeated again, with many casualties.In the morning of the 17th, the Zhijun Army and the First Division of the Frontier Defense Army fought in the north of Zhuozhou, and the Frontier Army fled.The brigade commander Fan Shangpin was killed, and the brigade commander Cheng was unable to resist, so he fled. The remaining battalion commanders and soldiers suffered countless casualties.In view of the loss of combat effectiveness of the entire army, division commander Qu Tongfeng set up a white flag and appealed to Wu Peifu for peace.Wu ordered the arms to be handed over first, and then the war ceased.The Xuanqu family surrendered in person, but Wu refused to see him. He ordered Xie to go to Baoding and asked Cao Kun to punish him.After Cao was surrendered, he still treated each other with courtesy and persuaded him to go against him and obey him. Qu Sui sent a message to persuade all the frontier guards to agree with Cao and fight against Xiao Xu together.Qu is the most knowledgeable disciple of the Duan Clan, he is no less favored than Xiao Xu, but now he is turning against each other, Yi Duan's army is completely defeated and there is nothing to do.At the same time, Liu Xun's 15th Division also surrendered and disarmed.Liu Xun took the opportunity to abscond and disappeared.Duan Zhigui, the commander-in-chief of the Dingguo Army, commanded the battle on the West Road, and was invincible. In the end, he fled back to Beijing with huge losses.Since there is no one in command on the west road, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and when they encounter a straight army, they will flee if they surrender.On the afternoon of the 20th, the Zhijun Brigade arrived at Changxindian, and was about to wipe out all the scattered Duan troops in the surrounding area. " In the memoirs of Cao Rulin, the pro-Japanese faction most attacked by Zhili, the description of the Zhiwan War is still objective: "... Later, Wu Peifu sent a telegram to discuss Duan, saying that he would eradicate traitors for the country. This shows that he was too uncultivated and his words were too presumptuous. He also sent troops from Henan to Kinki, and even threatened to declare war on Hefei (referring to Duan Qirui). So Hefei called against Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, with two divisions of the frontier defense army and three mixed brigades of the Northwest Army as the main force, organized into the Dingguo Army, appointed himself the commander-in-chief, with Xu Shuzheng as the deputy commander, and Duan Zhigui as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and set up a commander in Changxindian Duan Zhigui expected that this battle would not last long, so he set up a general headquarters on the train, showing that he underestimated the enemy. Zhang Zuolin was indifferent to Duan Zai Tuanhe, and Cao Kun tried his best to win him over, so he also favored Cao. Wu Guangxin led 20 Wan Dajun is the commander-in-chief of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Hefei wrote this book with great intentions. Unexpectedly, Wu Guangxin suddenly had a whim, and it was suitable for him to go to Wuchang at this time. He was detained by Wang Zhanyuan. Route Xu Youzheng led the Northwest Army's three mixed brigades to fight against Zhijun Cao Kai in Yangcun and prevent Feng's army from entering the pass. West Route Qu Tongfeng and Chen Wenyun led two divisions of the Frontier Defense Army (there was another division stationed in Shandong). Liulihe resisted and ordered Ding Shiyuan to use a transport plane for transportation. Xu Youzheng marched smoothly on the East Road, and had crossed the Langfang and entered the North Cang. Heavy rain, each other in the rain for two days, the soldiers were in the trench, the rain was knee-high, and they were still in the trench. I heard that Wu Peifu hung up the phone on the big tree in the heavy rain, kept urging reinforcements to Baoding, and used firecrackers in the kerosene tube Fired up to save bullets and boost momentum, it shows that the Zhijun army is short of weapons and is in urgent need of rescue. I don't know the soldiers, but I think the opponent is exhausted and waiting for help. Wouldn't it be demoralizing? What kind of art of war is this? I don't understand how the front line is arranged. On the fifth day, Chen Wenyun's army has retreated to Gu'an, Qu Tongfeng is still on the front line, and the Feng army to aid Zhizhi is still on the way. It was impossible to know what the Qu and Chen armies were doing in the middle of the day, and it was puzzling! When Feng's army arrived in Baoding, Cao Kun had already prepared food, and ordered some of them to rush to reinforce without waiting for a rest. Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, Wu Peifu immediately ordered the reinforcements to defend the defense area. He led a powerful force across the Liuli River and went straight to Changxindian. Zengbing West Road, Duan Mo was delayed. By the time Wu Peifu led his troops to approach Changxindian, the bullets had landed on the train, and he drove into the capital in a hurry. At that time, Xu Youzheng from the East Road was preparing to drive his troops into Tianjin. Hearing that the West Road was defeated , not daring to advance, retreated to the gallery, and returned to Beijing for inspection. Qu Tongfeng was captured on the front line, the general was captured, and the West Army was defeated. The excellent armaments of the Frontier Army and the Northwest Army were obtained by sharing spoils between the two armies. I heard that Hefei pre-ordered that the two routes are not allowed to use heavy artillery, fearing that the firepower will be too fierce and the casualties will be too heavy. Although he is as benevolent as Song Xiang, he already has the heart to underestimate the enemy. In only five days, the war came to an end. Since the beginning of the war, there has been no If it is fast. In this battle, the Anhui side used cutting-edge weapons to compete with the old direct army, just like throwing an egg with a stone, there is no reason to lose.You don't know that if there are stones that cannot be used, the eggs, although weak, can still be dripping, making you powerless.It can be seen that without the talent of a general, even if you have a strong soldier, it is in vain.The defeat of Anhui this time was due to this. When the news of Hefei's self-defeat came, he lived in seclusion in Fuxue Hutong.I submitted my impeachment, please revoke all official titles and honors, and wait for punishment. One person is responsible for fulfilling the promise of being alone.This old man is stubborn and responsible, but he is admirable.However, the Anhui army in the north has since come to an end, and the Beiyang army has since disintegrated. Unfortunately, it is hard to sigh. It is also a battle, and the commentators say that the battle plan drawn up by Youzheng is quite in line with military principles, but it still fails, thinking that it did not follow his plan.I don't know the military, and I haven't seen Youzheng's plan, so I dare not say a word.However, it is an objective comment based on my humble opinion.Duan Xiangyan was originally called a veteran general, but also an old man, so he could not help but rely on his old man to sell his old man, conceited himself and underestimated the enemy, thinking that the Feng army was not worth a blow, let alone the Zhi army.He was in the Restoration campaign, not paying attention to the situation, even playing cards in the car, making steamed buns from Beijing and sending them to the army.He expected that the military would be victorious in the near future, but his judgment was wrong, which was one of them.Qu Tongfeng, Chen Wenyun.Although he was born as a Japanese non-commissioned officer, Qu is a rough old man in Shandong, brave and without strategy.Chen Ze has no military spirit, only knows how to follow suit, is timid before fighting, rarely stays in the barracks, has abandoned the principle of never leaving the army, and the principle of never leaving the army, let alone sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, how can he be a commander? Second.The two frontier defense and northwest armies have not been formed for a long time, and they are not well trained. Although the corporals have been trained in the martial arts hall, they have not gone through battles. The command is not satisfactory, and the soldiers cannot fight on their own.The frontier guards had the best training from Ma Zizhen's (Ma Liang's) division. They were transferred to Shandong, but they were not transferred back in time, resulting in no backup troops. This is the fourth.Wu Guangxin was detained in Wuchang, which greatly affected the morale of the army, the fifth.This time, Xu Youzheng was used as the east road because of the emphasis on worship and despise straightness.If the Northwest Army of Youzheng was on the west road and defeated the Zhi army first, the Feng army would not enter the pass first to aid Cao.Also, Zhengdong Road is about to enter Tianjin, so it is really tired by the West Road.Before the war, I asked the advisor Rihachiro Sakanishi, who was an advisor to the participating army.Based on the prediction of this battle, he said that the frontier guards were insufficiently trained, and the commanders and corporals had no combat experience, so it would be premature to use them in combat.This army can only obey orders, and cannot fight on its own, it all depends on the commander.It's a no-brainer. " The above is the report of witnessing the war. Duan Qirui was defeated one after another, but unexpectedly, his years of painstaking efforts were ruined. Only after three days of trials did he realize that the Anhui Army was so "without a single battle".He is a strong soldier, at this time he really wanted to commit suicide, but fortunately he was closely guarded by his left and right, and he was advised not to commit suicide, because even though the direct army had already opened fire and became an enemy, after all, there is still friendship between comrades, which cannot be overstated.So he called Jin Yunpeng. When Jin saw Lao Duan at this time, he didn't know what to say to comfort him. Duan simply said: "This is the end of the matter. You can still talk with them. Hurry up and discuss the truce with them. Conditions I have no opinion on this aspect, I just hope that the war will not be brought into Beijing." After Jin Yunpeng came out of Duan Mansion in Fuxue Hutong, he went to find Fu Liangzuo and asked him to go to Tianjin to seek peace from Zhijun on Jin's behalf.When Fu arrived in Tianjin, he went to the governor's office in Zhili to see Cao Rui, the governor. Cao Rui didn't see him, and he was not allowed to leave, so he was imprisoned in the governor's office. The city of Beijing was extremely tense, and the frontline troops retreated in embarrassment.Duan Qirui had no choice but to go to see Xu Shichang in person and ask Xu to issue a truce order to prevent Beijing from getting out of hand.After Duan Ci came out, Xu Shichang looked at his back and said with a sneer, "If I knew today, why bother?" On the same day, Xu Shichang issued a truce order saying: "In the past, due to misunderstandings with each other, there were transfers of troops from all walks of life. They should be ordered to retreat to the original defense and maintain the overall situation. According to recent reports, the war has not yet stopped. The people are terrified, and all businesses are depressed. We are sorry for our people. Why should this be so? It is especially pitiful when the heat is high and each general bows ten times. The generals should be instructed to move forward quickly, defend the line of defense, stop attacking, wait for orders to resolve, and use a copy of the president to reconcile it again and again. Sincerely, this order!" On the 19th, Duan You received a telegram to take the blame and resigned. The telegram said: "Baoding Cao Jinglue, Tianjin Governor Cao, Shengjing Zhang Tour Envoy, Nanjing Li Dujun, Nanchang Chen Dujun, Wuchang King Tour Envoy, Kaifeng Zhao Dujun, Guihua Cai Dutong, and Ningxia Ma Hujun Envoys: According to the telegram from the presiding officer: "Recently, there have been repeated warnings from the diplomatic corps. The capital is full of expatriates, and their lives and property are extremely important. If the war is prolonged, the danger is beyond words?" Waiting for the order to be resolved' and other reasons, Qirui immediately ordered the soldiers in front to stop attacking and recorded. Cha Qirui organized the national army this time to protect the capital. Thin energy is fresh, the handling is not appropriate, and outsiders are called to blame, and the thought of going to the boss's seat. Soothe the heart and feel guilty, good and deep panic! The investigation was made on the day of the investigation, and there is any delay, and I will bear my own responsibility. Now it is urgent to let it go Chen Zixiu, with the purpose of solving the crime, has already petitioned the chief, the brigadier general to supervise the frontier defense affairs, manage the affairs of the general's mansion, and the general of the army, to be dismissed immediately; and all the medals awarded in the past will be revoked In the name of Ding Guojun, it will also be released on the same day, in order to thank the people of the country. I would like to hear about it by telegram.” In this telegram, he deliberately omitted Wu Peifu, the most important person in the Zhijun Army, so that Duan's gritted hatred for Wu can be seen. After the defeat of the Anhui Army, Duan returned to Fuxue Hutong from Tuanhe, and neither fled to Tianjin nor to the concession. The defeat of the Anhui Clan was not only in the Eastern and Western battlefields, but also in other places.Dezhou in Shandong Province was originally invaded by Ma Liang of the Anhui Army. The defender Shang Dequan retreated, and the Feng army came to help him and regained Dezhou.On the Xinyang side, Zhao Delong of the Anhui army fought fiercely with Li Kuiyuan, the commander of the Henan brigade, and Zhao Yi was defeated.In response to Cao Wu, Wang Tingzhen, the governor of Chahar, led his troops to Kangzhuang, and fought against the Anhui army at Juyongguan, and the Anhui army was defeated.
