Chapter 608: The Tradition of the Democratic Party
The lethality of heavy artillery is astonishing, and the shock effect it brings is even more astonishing. The violent explosions sound like the sky is falling apart. Soldiers who have not received training will become frightened and lose their minds just by hearing these sounds.
Fighting spirit.
Xu Chongzhi climbed up from the ruins with difficulty. His back and head were injured. Although they were not serious, they frightened him to the extreme. It was like he had saved his life from the gate of hell.
When he looked at his position again, there were rumbling cannons and cries for fathers and mothers everywhere. All his men had been disrupted.
"Wu Peifu, you bastard, you have the ability to fight me with real swords and guns, but the one who relies on cannons is a turtle bastard!"
Xu Chongzhi was so angry that he cursed loudly, but it was of no use. At this moment, another sharp whistle of a heavy artillery shell passed through the sky. Xu Chongzhi couldn't care about anything and hurriedly fell to the ground.
The shell happened to land in an arsenal not far away, and all the ammunition inside was detonated. Xu Chongzhi, who was lying on the ground, felt as if there was an earthquake. The violent vibrations spread to his body, shaking his internal organs.
There was a moment of turmoil, and the feeling was very uncomfortable, as if opening one's mouth could spit out the parts in the stomach.
Finally, the Beiyang Army's artillery weakened, and a tidal wave of people rushed over. They encountered almost no decent ground resistance along the way, and their opponents had long lost their fighting spirit. When they saw the Beiyang Army rushing over, they all fled.
Even if the supervising team urged them repeatedly, they ignored them and even broke up the supervising team and ran away.
The Beiyang Army was like chasing a duck. Zhang Fulai, who was rushing in front, was simply ecstatic. He kept giving orders and pursued desperately.
Facing the overwhelming force of the Beiyang Army, Xu Chongzhi could only escape with the defeated army, not even daring to look back. Wu Peifu led the army to successfully occupy Changsha, and the rebellion was victorious. Newspapers from various places reported that the situation was very important to Sun Yat-sen.
Wen Yi's party is in an unprecedented disadvantage. It depends on whether they have the ability to reverse the defeat.
…
"Commander, this is the telegram sent back by Xue Ju."
Zhang Tinglan was also paying attention to the war in the south. Compared with the various comments in newspapers, his own things were more convincing. He hurriedly took the telegram from Chang Yinhuai's hand and looked at it carefully. He just read it for a while.
, his brows wrinkled.
In the telegram, Xue Ju introduced the situation on the front line. Wu Peifu led the army to capture Changsha after a bloody battle, and the army was advancing south. Zhang Tinglan was not surprised by this. Wu Peifu was originally the most capable general in Beiyang.
We also took so much sophisticated equipment from Feng Jun. If we couldn't win, there would be something wrong.
However, Zhang Tinglan was still too dissatisfied with Wu Peifu's advancing speed. They could only advance more than ten kilometers in a day. If they encountered resistance, the speed would be even slower. This speed is very good for Beiyang, but in Zhang Tinglan's opinion, it is still
It is too slow and does not achieve the goal of a quick victory at all.
Yang Yuting also read the telegram, and then said: "Commander, the Beiyang Army's combat capabilities cannot be forced, and the Guangdong-Han Railway has not yet been completed. There is only a section from Wuchang to Changsha, and everything else must rely on it."
The soles of the feet. The Beiyang Army’s ability to endure hardships and stand hard work is still not good enough.”
Zhang Tinglan said with a stern face: "Sun Wen is slipperier than a loach. If he doesn't move forward quickly, he will escape. Once he runs to Hong Kong or even directly abroad, it will be difficult to arrest him."
Yang Yuting also said: "Yes, in fact, it doesn't matter if Sun Wen alone runs away. He also has many followers, such as Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, and Liao Zhongkai. At least a few must be captured so that the Kuomintang
Even if he doesn’t die, he will be completely disabled.”
"Since the commander is worried, let's work harder and help Wu Peifu." Jiang Dengxuan said from the side.
Zhang Tinglan nodded: "We did have some negligence. We only dispatched special forces and did not dispatch other auxiliary troops. In the final analysis, we still overestimated the degree of modernization of the Beiyang Army. We just hope that if we send more troops now, we can still catch up."
After several people discussed it, they immediately decided to send 2,000 professional engineers, 500 railway soldiers, 100 communications and road surveying professionals to the front line, plus 20 reconnaissance aircraft, a medical team, and
Some auxiliary personnel, totaling 2,000 people.
Zhang Tinglan handed over the command of this army to Feng Yong. His main task was to clear the way for the Beiyang Army, detect the movements of Sun Wen's men, and help the Beiyang Army move quickly. Before leaving, Zhang Tinglan called Feng Yong again
When you get there, ask for instructions face to face.
"When we go to the south this time, we not only want to help Beiyang, but also find out the situation in the south. Sooner or later, we will also need to go south. It will not hurt us to understand the geographical environment in advance. Another point is that we must take advantage of this opportunity
, let me investigate the warlords in Guangdong, Guangxi and Southwest, find out their political opinions and personality characteristics, and determine whether there are any available talents among them."
When Feng Yong heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Commander, I promise to complete the mission."
The efficiency of Feng Yong's army mobilization was very high. After Fengtian General mobilized all the troops, he immediately went south, relying on trains along the way. In only eight days, Feng Yong led his troops to Changsha. Then he chased all the way, and finally
After catching up with the Beiyang Army, Wu Peifu was leading the army through the southern Hunan area. Their speed was slower than expected.
Wu Peifu was very happy to receive the news that Fengjun had dispatched a large number of technical troops. Although the Beiyang Army had acquired a large amount of heavy firepower, these weapons showed their power in Changsha, leaving Xu Chongzhi and his men in a panic and fleeing.
However, these weapons also increased the logistical burden and slowed down the march, especially the heavy artillery, which could sometimes only cover five or six kilometers a day, which greatly annoyed Wu Peifu.
After Feng Yong arrived with his troops, Wu Peifu received him personally.
"Wu is very grateful to Lan Shuai for sending the engineering troops here."
"Sir Wu, you are too polite. It is also Fengjun's mission to eliminate Sun Ni. We cannot deploy the main battle force, so we naturally have to help from other aspects."
Wu Peifu nodded with satisfaction. If he did not send the main battle force, he would just leave the credit to himself. Zhang Tinglan still acted very measuredly. Wu Peifu nodded happily.
"I wonder how much time your army needs to rest before it can officially return to work?"
"Sir Wu, soldiers are valuable and quick. Tomorrow we will open roads in front of the mountains and build bridges when encountering water, acting as pawns for the large army."
After Feng Yong asked for the order, Feng Jun did the same thing. They rushed to the front. The south was different from the north. The river network was dense. It was difficult for the existing roads to pass the carriages, let alone transport the heavy artillery. Those ordinary
The bridge simply cannot withstand the weight of heavy artillery and must be fully reinforced.
Although the Beiyang Army also has engineers, they are basically just workers. They have no concept of modern construction at all. When problems are encountered, they swarm them, which greatly affects efficiency.
Feng Jun was completely different from them. On the first day he arrived, he first found out the situation of various weapons and transportation tools of the Zhi Army, so that he had a good idea. Then the next day, Feng Yong divided the two thousand engineers into three construction teams.
The brigade, plus a security team, divided the road ahead into three sections, with each brigade responsible for one section.
According to the calculation results, they need to widen and strengthen the road to ensure that the Beiyang Army can pass through normally. They also need to check whether the bridges along the way can bear the weight. If not, they must use the surrounding materials to repair the bridges as quickly as possible.
Put it up.
The Fengjun engineers opened the road in front, and the Beiyang Army followed behind. When they started walking this time, the situation was completely different, and the journey was extremely smooth. Wu Peifu also carefully observed the road conditions, and he couldn't help but raise a flag to Fengjun.
Thumbs up.
Especially when he saw the several temporary bridges built by Feng Jun, he was even more amazed. They also used logs as tools, but the bridges built by Feng Jun were simple, beautiful, strong and generous. From the materials used to the structure of the bridge, everything was carefully considered.
Calculation: It can just pass a gun carriage, and it uses the least materials and is the simplest construction.
This kind of ability is completely developed through a little bit of practice, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight, especially because it shows the strength accumulated by Fengjun.
In short, with the help of Feng Jun, the Beiyang Army's action speed has been greatly accelerated. The vanguard has already approached Shaoguan, an important town in northern Guangdong. Beiyang's artillery is aimed at Shaoguan City, and the planes are also circling back and forth in the sky. A black cloud is pressing down on the city to destroy it.
The situation made all the members of the Democratic Party feel terrified. This time the rebel army moved quickly and with more ferocity than any other time, making Sun Wen and his party a little trembling.
"Prime Minister, something bad has happened. Deng Keng, who was responsible for guarding Shaoguan, surrendered to Beiyang. The gate to northern Guangdong is now open!"
When he suddenly heard this report, Sun Wen suddenly stood up from his seat, and the veins on his forehead burst out: "What's going on? How dare Deng Keng betray the revolution and the leader, we must not let this bastard go!"
When Liao Zhongkai heard this, he stood up quickly and said loudly: "Prime Minister, Deng Keng is obeying your arrangements in name. In fact, he wears the same pants as Chen Jiongming and is Chen Jiongming's confidant. Now that the enemy is facing us, Deng Keng surrenders."
, maybe Chen Jiongming has a different intention, I think Chen Jiongming should be controlled!"
When Wang Jingwei heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Chen Jiongming is very influential in the Guangdong Army. If you want to deal with the Beiyang Army, you can't do without him. I think we should kindly appease him and don't provoke internal strife at the moment of war!"
"The more powerful the enemy is, the more we must clean up the inside. Chen Jiongming must not let it go." Sun Wen suddenly said loudly: "Chen Jiongming has made irresponsible remarks on our strategy over the years. To fight against foreign aggression, we must first settle the internal affairs."
,If we don’t eliminate this hidden danger, how can we deal with the Beiyang Army?”
Sun Wen thought for a while, and then said to Hu Hanmin: "Go and see Chen Jiongming and tell him that I want to invite him to discuss matters and discuss strategies to deal with Beiyang." (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome.
