Volume Two, Crossing the Sea, Chapter Seventeen, Eastern Expedition and Northern Expedition (6)
Fang Jianxiong could have ordered an immediate attack, but Cheng Zhixuan just came to report that there were only half the base number of artillery shells, and the logistics and transportation could not keep up. To say that this heavy artillery is a good thing, firstly it costs money, and secondly, the transportation requirements are too high.
After a few hours of grace, Fang Jianxiong once again realized the importance of logistics and transportation, and missed the trucks from the United States. After sending Yang Yanchang away, Fang Jianxiong told the people around him to send a report to the United States, "Purchase 500 cars.
And seek the possibility of American companies setting up factories in China.”
Zhang Xun in Nanjing city got the news quickly. Will he give a reply before two o'clock in the afternoon? Well, there is still time to run!
After cleaning up, Zhang Xun didn't care about others. He took his beloved concubine Xiao Maozi and gave an order to other troops in the city to defend. He also decided to hide from the Japanese gunboats in Xiaguan and go aboard.
To say that Zhang Xun still has thousands of men in his hands, the problem is that this Anhui revolutionary army is too brutal. They took down two dangerous positions in an hour, and the remaining sky castle is probably not able to be defended. In addition,
There is also a ninth town that looks very powerful right next to it.
As soon as Zhang Xun ran away, the troops in Nanjing lost their military morale. In about an hour, Wang Youhong, the guard of Tiancheng Castle, learned the news. At that time, his heart was so cold. How could he be beaten? An official
They all ran away, and he stayed to work hard?
Tiancheng Castle is the commanding heights of Nanjing City. Wang Youhong has six battalions with 3,000 people, and he can only fight a small amount. The problem is that he knows the results of Xiaoling Guard and Yuhuatai. Wang Youhong does not think that he is better than Cheng Wenjun.
Zhao Huipeng's results were much better.
However, Wang Youhong was stubborn, so he came to the meeting anxiously with his subordinates. After telling everyone the situation, he said, "Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who are not willing can make a living on their own. Wang was greatly favored by Marshal Zhang, so he could only scoop up this
Life will repay you."
Fang Jianxiong is still making preparations nervously. The heavy artillery brigade needs a basic number of shells, right?
While seizing the time to have lunch, Duan Feng came in to report that a guy claiming to be an investigator of the Hubei Military Government came to see the commander-in-chief. Fang Jianxiong had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and ask someone to come in.
Su Liangbin was sent to Nanjing by the Hubei military government with the purpose of contacting the Ninth Town and coordinating the Nanjing Uprising. In order to reduce the pressure on Wuchang. When the Anhui Revolutionary Army came over, Su Liangbin had no chance even if he wanted to go out to report. Unexpectedly, the Anhui Revolutionary Army was so powerful.
The Qing army was crippled before they arrived in the morning. There was a huge chaos in the city, and soldiers were looting everywhere. After asking the insiders, they found out that Zhang Renjun, Tie Liang, and Zhang Xun had all run away.
After hearing that there was no movement outside the city, Su Liangbin led a dozen of his men out of the city. They originally planned to act as internal agents, but now it seems that there is no need to risk their lives. In the history of parallel space, Su Liangbin just heard the wrong news.
He rebelled in the city in advance and was beheaded by Zhang Xun.
Find the Anhui Revolutionary Army and report your name. The Second Division in front of you sent someone to see Fang Jianxiong.
"What, they all ran away?" Fang Jianxiong felt a little uncomfortable after hearing the news about Su Liangbin. He thought that these feudal bureaucrats were indeed afraid of death.
"Sir, it is said that there are more than two million taels in the Nanjing Silver Dollar Bureau. The Qing army cannot take this away." Su Liangbin provided a very important news. This news was not originally intended to be disclosed. However, along the way, he saw the Anhui revolution.
The army was not generally mighty. I felt that this army had more of a revolutionary military style than the one in Hubei. I had other thoughts in my mind, so I reported the news.
When Fang Jianxiong heard that there was two million taels, his eyes immediately became round. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he would give it a try. He quickly called Hamilton and Paulus. By the way, he said: "Where is Leng Yu? Let's go.
He will die."
In fact, Leng Yu had come a long time ago, but Fang Jianxiong didn't want to see him, so he asked him to stand on the wall of the yard by himself. Well, let's reflect deeply!
Fang Jianxiong said a word, and Leng Yu came rushing over. Fang Jianxiong looked unhappy, pointed at Su Liangbin and said: "This is a comrade sent by the Hubei military government. He has provided important news. Bring me the secret service team."
Charge into the city and capture the Silver Dollar Bureau for me as quickly as possible."
"Yes! I promise to complete the mission!" Leng Yu was happy, but Fang Jianxiong did not hold him accountable. In fact, Fang Jianxiong knew very well that if Leng Yu hadn't made such a fool of himself, the Qing army would not have lost its military morale so quickly.
Hamilton and Paulus came quickly. Fang Jianxiong explained the situation, and both of them were dumbfounded. Are these officials of the Qing government too unreliable? The fight lasted for a while, and both the civil and military officials ran away.
On the way.
It was too late to temporarily revise the battle plan, so Fang Jianxiong had no choice but to overstep his authority and ordered the Third Division, which was originally a reserve force, to immediately enter the city from the direction of Xiaolingwei at Chaoyang Gate. After entering the city, he required strict military discipline and not to disturb the people in the slightest. At the same time, he also asked all parties to
The life instructor of the army organized soldiers to maintain order in the city. If any robbers were found taking advantage of the chaos, they would be shot to death on the spot.
After giving the order, the third division immediately rushed to the city. At this time, part of the Qing army in the city transformed into bandits, looted and prepared to run away. The smart ones took off their uniforms and transformed into ordinary people. There were also some gangsters in the city.
Taking the opportunity, he followed him into the wealthy family's house that he had been coveting for a long time, robbed, raped, raped, murdered and set fire to them.
Fang Jianxiong also promptly sent people to notify the Ninth Town, asking them to send troops to Xiaguan Wharf as soon as possible. At the same time, he ordered people to go up the mountain and ask the defenders to surrender. Wang Youhong refused to surrender, and he wanted to repay Zhang Xun's kindness!
"If he wants to stay on the mountain, just stay there and surround him! The capital city is broken, but there is still such a thing as a castle in the sky. The lives of soldiers are precious!" This was what Fang Jianxiong told Janson when he came to ask for instructions.
It soon spread among the army.
In this era when most human nature is simple, these words have reached the ears of the soldiers, and they really have the feeling that the commander-in-chief is better than his parents. In the Anhui Revolutionary Army, those who eat well, wear well, use well, and fight well
At that time, the commander-in-chief still felt sorry for everyone.
Regarding this matter, every time a new recruit comes into the camp, the veterans in the army will tell them about it. They consciously go to the dark house to brainwash them.
Jan Sen had no choice but to give up and continue to surround the Tian Castle without fighting. An hour later, the soldiers on the mountain came down to surrender holding white flags and carrying a coffin. After asking, they found out that Wang Youhong refused to surrender and was not willing to drag him down.
Brothers, drink your own bullets and let your brothers surrender.
There was complete chaos on the Xiaguan Pier. Thousands of defeated soldiers fought for the ship on the pier, trying to get on board and escape.
Zhang Renjun and Tie Liang were on the training ship "Jingqing". Looking at the chaos on the dock, Zhang Renjun was ashamed and angry and wanted to throw himself into the Yangtze River. When he was hugged by the soldiers, Tie Liang, a fellow sufferer, persuaded: "Zhang Zhitai, it's not that we are afraid of death.
, it’s the Anhui Revolutionary Army that is too cruel!” (Note: It was actually on a Japanese warship, so writing the book required some fine-tuning.)
Zhang Renjun was just pretending that he could just wait in the governor's office if he wanted to die, why bother to escape on the ship.
"This production company is ashamed of the imperial court! I don't know what happened to the Silver Dollar Bureau, but that's two million taels of silver." Speaking of this, Tie Liang also felt a little sad. The Qing army was defeated too quickly, and he couldn't help feeling.
I hate Zhang Xun, thinking that this guy was really full of words in the past, but he was really beaten by the revolutionary army, and he was defeated in just a few blows.
"Zhang Xun is incompetent. He didn't force the Ninth Town to rebel. Why would you and I be like this?" Tie Liang's mind suddenly turned and he said this. Zhang Renjun refused to accept the words, so he secretly defended the Ninth Town mainly by himself.
What do you mean, does this guy want me to take the blame? Besides, Zhang Xun is guarding the Qing Dynasty, and these Manchus are still treating him like this. In this current situation, it is unclear whether the Qing Dynasty can be saved.
Leng Yu, led by Su Liangbin, advanced all the way and was unstoppable. All the officials had fled. How could the Qing army with its morale shattered resist the well-equipped spy group that was as powerful as a tiger?
With almost no obstruction, Leng Yu's Department rushed to the Silver Dollar Bureau as quickly as possible, where they encountered a little resistance and were blocked by more than a hundred guards from the Governor's Office.
Fortunately, the Qing army was too panicked and opened fire from three hundred meters away. The soldiers in the secret service group were very skilled and reacted quickly when they heard the gunfire. The few soldiers who rushed to the front fell down in time and scattered to hide.
.Only three people were shot, and none of them were fatally injured.
Leng Yu was in the front group. When he encountered an obstruction, he immediately moved forward and concealed himself to observe the enemy troops in front. He used the gate as a defensive position and had two Maxims. However, the machine gun position was not well arranged and seemed too exposed.
After a little observation, Leng Yu came up with a countermeasure. He quickly followed up with 60 mortars, and the snipers also followed to find the blocking position. In less than ten minutes, a simple combat plan came out. With one platoon as the commando team,
Two blockers provided cover, and a platoon provided support. Leng Yu personally led a platoon to rush upward in the second wave.
The benefits of strict training were shown, and all units were immediately ready. Snipers were in place, and mortars were also ready. The Anhui Revolutionary Army has a tradition since its founding that it does not fight unprepared battles. Fang Jianxiong's concept has been deeply rooted in
Military morale. Victory is necessary, but casualties must also be reduced.
Boom! Two 60mm mortars were the first to show off their power. Although there was no direct hit, the Qing army's position was shaken. While they were being suppressed continuously, the commandos crawled forward. The terrain in this area was open, so it was indeed a bit troublesome to attack.
The heavy machine guns of the Qing army immediately fired to suppress them, but after a few shots, they were taken care of by two snipers, who shot their heads one after another. The shock of brains flying everywhere was so powerful that several nearby Qing soldiers got up and ran away in fright. Taking advantage of the machine gun,
At the opportunity of the pause, the commando quickly stood up and rushed forward. The Qing army's volleys of guns rang out. When two soldiers fell, the bullets from the submachine guns arrived. The Qing army was suppressed and it was difficult to raise its head. At the critical moment, the combat effectiveness of the Governor-General's Guards was quite adequate.
, an officer risked his life and led his men to the machine gun position. When he was about to fire, the officer's head was smashed by a sniper bomb. The morale of the Qing army was completely exhausted. The commando rushed fifty meters away like lightning, throwing grenades.
Landed one after another.
Has the Qing army ever fought such an unreasonable battle? Shocked by a series of explosions, the commando team has already rushed forward, and the submachine gun fire is like cutting wheat. The more than a hundred guards of the Governor's Office have no chance to fire a few shots.
, he was beaten and ran inside.
Chapter completed!
