The battle was arduous and all three brigades were trapped. Zhang Xueliang never expected such a situation when he fought such a tough battle for the first time. Yang Yuting sent Han Linchun to help. Han Linchun told Zhang Xueliang that people You must be bold when you are in a dangerous place, and only if you have a chance can you have a chance. The three brigades must open up and fight each other, and they must not relax. Guo Songling agreed to this style of play and asked Zhang Xueliang to go to Chu Shixin's second regiment. Zhang Xueliang asked Han Linchun to stay in command. Acting echelon leader.

Chu Shixin sent a communications soldier to the headquarters, and Zhang Xueliang followed him to the Second Regiment. The communications soldier died trying to cover him. Zhang Xueliang told Chu Shixin that the entire front was in a hurry. One of their regiments was responsible for guarding three regiments. He was here to live and die with them. Chu Shixin was worried about Zhang Xueliang's safety and encouraged the battalion company commanders to persuade Zhang Xueliang to leave. .

Zhang Xueliang's arrival worked. The Second Regiment, led by Chu Shixin, broke into the frontline command post of the 16th Zhili Army Division. Guo Songling and Brigadier Dai also succeeded. Han Linchun retired with great success. When Zhang Xueliang was overjoyed, he received a telegram from Zhang Zuolin: The East Route Army was defeated and Zhang Zuoxiang failed. Zhang Xueliang called Guo Songling back to take command and prepared to go to the Junliangcheng base camp to see the situation on his father's side.

After that, the West Route Army retreated. One division and one brigade surrendered without firing a single shot. Commander-in-Chief Zhang Jinghui hid in Beijing. The Eastern Front failed. Someone saw Zhang Xueliang falling off his horse and missing. All Fengjun's hopes suddenly turned into a dream. Zhang Zuolin was distraught when he heard that his son was missing, but Zhang Xueliang rushed back. The father and son met each other with tears in their eyes.

After six days of hot fighting, Fengjun was defeated and lost more than 70,000 people. Only Zhang Xueliang's 382 Brigade made some gains. Zhang Zuolin was dismissed from various positions by the president and Wu Jun was promoted to Fengtian. warlord. The hospital in Fengtian was full of wounded soldiers returning from the front. Yu Fengzhi suggested that Zhang Zuolin's concubines go to the hospital to visit. The second concubine and the fourth concubine were unwilling to come forward, so Yu Fengzhi accompanied the fifth concubine there in the name of director of the charity association.

When Wu Junsheng met Zhang Zuolin, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he had never had any second thoughts about him, that Beijing was trying to divorce him, that his family property was no less than his, and that he had nothing to do now. He advised Zhang Zuolin returned to Fengtian to do his own thing. Zhang Zuolin had this intention and decided to have federated provincial autonomy for the three eastern provinces.

Zhang Xueliang was still holding on to Shanhaiguan and Chu Shixin was injured. Zhang Xueliang appointed Wang Xingwen as the leader of the Second Regiment. Most died in battle.

Many of Feng Yong’s Baoding classmates died in the war, but the train station did not have extra trains to transport the corpses. Feng Yong lost his temper at the train station and ordered the conductor to kowtow to the corpses of his classmates. Zhang Zuolin used his own special train After transporting these corpses, Zhang Xueliang was asked to persuade Feng Yong. The two young men, who were both deeply saddened by the sacrifice of their subordinates, sat together with heavy hearts.

The Fengzhi and Zhi armies negotiated a peace and retreated. Feng Yong wanted to take off his military uniform and open a trading company with Iyager, but Zhang Xueliang refused to let Iyage abduct his little boy, who he knew very well. When Zhang Zuolin returned to Fengtian, he hung a plaque saying "Don't forget Wu's shame" at his home. Zhang Zuoxiang felt that he should bear the primary responsibility, and wrote a statement with the brigade commanders, suggesting that Zhang Zuolin use young people.
