"My humble opinion is that Zhou Zijian has captured Haizhou and is attacking Xuzhou!"
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile finally appeared on his face: "I didn't expect this kid to move so fast, it's really great!"
Yang Yuting also breathed a sigh of relief and showed an expression of joy. This combat plan was planned by him. Now it has worked, so he is naturally very happy.
In fact, according to the original plan, Zhang Tinglan was planning to go south along the Jinpu Line and go straight to Nanjing. During the Revolution of 1911 and the Second Revolution, the Beiyang Army followed this route to attack the Southern Revolutionary Party. This has been proven repeatedly.
, although this is quite satisfactory, it is also an effective method.
But during preparation, a big trouble arose. Jinpu Road was actually funded by Britain and Germany. It was bounded by Hanzhuang, Shandong Province. It used German technology in the north and British technology in the south. Although it was the same railway line, the standards were different.
, so the locomotive needs to be replaced.
This kind of thing seems ridiculous, but it is not uncommon on China's railways. As an old overlord, the British may not be able to fight anymore, but they have many bad ideas. They took back all the locomotives on the southern line.
Concentrated in Xuzhou and other places.
In this way, the Fengjun army could not move quickly along the railway, and the rebels in the south had time to breathe. It must be said that the British played a very dirty trick. The generals of the Fengjun army were all furious. Zhang Henian
Others even clamored for war against Britain.
However, with the capture of Weihaiwei, the British no longer had much to worry about in the north. Even if the Feng army wanted to attack the British, they would have to go to the south first.
Just when everyone was worried, Yang Yuting put forward his own opinion: "Vice President, since ancient times, counterinsurgency has emphasized the importance of military speed and speed, and cannot give the other party time to stabilize the situation. Especially this time, the British are on the south side. Once the delay is delayed,
As time went by, British materials and weapons continued to arrive, and our troubles began."
Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "That's true. But without the railway, materials cannot be transported quickly, even if you want to, it won't be faster!"
After Yang Yuting thought about it, he smiled and said: "Instead of taking the railway, it is the same as if we took the sea route! We have taken back Jiaozhou Bay from the Japanese. From here, we can easily attack the coastal areas of Jiangsu. I believe that even if the rebels take precautions
No matter how strict we were, they never imagined that we would launch operations from the sea."
Zhang Tinglan was immediately attracted by this idea. After Fengjun took control of Jiaozhou Bay, he established the Qingdao Squadron and also hoarded a lot of war supplies. If this was used as a base, Fengjun would not waste time preparing. It would be ready soon.
After some discussion, everyone agreed to the plan.
Now according to reports from the front, this combat strategy has achieved unprecedented success. The headquarters is also beaming with joy. However, Yang Yuting is still relatively calm and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry. Although the start is good, Zhou Zijian only has one brigade of soldiers, and he is stationed in Xuzhou.
The rebels have four divisions, and their strength is very different. Once there is a stalemate, they will suffer, so our reinforcements must keep up!"
Yang Yuting's analysis was spot on. Fengjun relied on a sudden attack to disrupt the rebel defenses. The headquarters of Jiangsu First Division Commander Bai Baoshan received a shell, and everyone from the division commander on down was bombed.
He died, and all the troops of a division were shattered.
Zhou Zijian commanded the troops and took advantage of the situation to seize key areas around the train station. He aimed his guns at the rebels. They were bombarded indiscriminately, knocking them off their feet and even Commander-in-Chief Bondo almost died.
But after all, Zhou Zijian and the others still had too few troops. Facing an enemy army with four divisions, they looked very weak. After experiencing the initial chaos, Bonduo finally stabilized himself.
The First Division mobilized the rear to reorganize, and then concentrated the remaining three divisions on hand.
The 19th Division was responsible for the front, and the Jiangsu Second Division and the Third Division were responsible for the two wings. With absolutely superior strength, they rushed towards Feng Jun desperately.
Bonduo also knew the importance of Xuzhou. Once it fell, Nanjing would be exposed to the Feng army's attack. Especially at this time, the morale of the southern army was not stable, and maybe it would collapse across the board. Therefore, Bonduo also adopted a life-threatening posture.
.
He personally led the guards to form a supervising team, and two heavy machine guns were placed in front of them. The dark muzzles of the guns formed a crossfire. Anyone who dared to step back would be beaten into a sieve.
"Brothers, if we win this battle, we are all the heroes who founded the country. From now on, we will have three wives and four concubines, and we will be rich and powerful. If we lose the battle, our heads will be moved. I have figured out what to do!"
Under Bondo's personal supervision, these rebels could only rush towards Fengjun like a tide. As a force that had fought with Russia and Japan, the soldiers of the First Division certainly would not treat these Beiyang soldiers
The troops saw it.
The sound of the gunfire was like exploding beans, and I saw swarms of Beiyang troops falling down, with corpses piled on top of each other, charging in angrily, and then retreating crying for their fathers and mothers. Just like the waves crashing against the rocks, the rebels
The army's counterattacks were continuously defeated.
After three rounds of attacks, it seemed that apart from increasing casualties, it had no effect. Some veterans gradually felt that something was wrong. Feng Jun's bullets were extremely accurate. There were a large number of people more than a hundred meters away.
The soldiers were shot dead. These guys didn't want to die, so they retreated one after another.
Da da da…
The machine gun rang out, and three soldiers who were retreating were mercilessly shot to death on the spot. Bundo seemed to be going crazy, holding a pistol and patrolling back and forth, shouting: "Only forward, no retreat."
"
After finally shooting more than a dozen soldiers, the soldiers finally organized an attack again. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed towards Fengjun's position. As the distance got closer, they heard the worried sounds of gunfire.
It didn't ring.
Could it be that Fengjun was dead? Taking advantage of their courage, they increased their speed and finally got within a hundred meters. Fengjun's gunshots started to sound one after another, but they were much weaker than before.
A young officer's face showed a look of ecstasy: "Brothers, they have no bullets. Please work harder and charge forward!"
After hearing the news, the rebels finally cheered up and rushed towards Fengjun crazily. Seeing the Beiyang Army getting closer and closer, Fengjun's officers and soldiers also showed disdain on their faces, even if they had no bullets.
Still not afraid of these rabble.
Finally, the two sides met in close combat, and Feng Jun's skillful stabbing skills finally came into play. One after another, the Beiyang soldiers were picked to the ground. The cold bayonets penetrated the breasts, cut the blood vessels, and red liquid splashed everywhere.
The cry of despair is heartbreaking.
Zhou Zijian has been keeping an eye on the situation on the battlefield. Although the casualties of the Feng army are quite small compared to the rebels, the situation is still not optimistic. No one is made of iron. As the saying goes, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists. Some soldiers have already joined the army.
Fell down.
"Ammunition. Where is the ammunition? Is the quartermaster dead? Don't you know that the brothers are sacrificing themselves?" Zhou Zijian said angrily.
"Brigadier, we encountered the Beiyang Army on the road, and the two sides were fighting fiercely."
"I don't care, if I don't see the arms within half an hour, I'll send you my head!"
After Zhou Zijian issued the death order, he suddenly grabbed a rifle and rushed forward with the guards. At this time, the rebels also saw the problem with Feng Jun. These experts who were trying to grab the credit rushed forward with all their lives.
When they came up, Zhu Xi, commander of the Second Division, personally led his troops and rushed to the front.
The battlefield has turned into a bloody slaughterhouse, cruel hand-to-hand combat, testing everyone's nerves. Poof! The bayonet penetrated the body. The hand was pressed down sharply, and the stomach was cut open.
All flowed out.
Ah! With a cry of pain, the soldier who had just killed the opponent had two more bayonets in his body, and his life was fleeting.
Just when the battle of wills between the two sides reached the final moment, a commotion suddenly appeared behind the Beiyang Army, and the commotion expanded. In the sky not far away, a huge fleet of aircraft appeared, and the aircraft roared towards them.
Got up.
These Beiyang troops saw this scene. They were all frightened and ran away, but it was too late. The bomb exploded among the crowd, growing like the most gorgeous flower, but this flower consumed human life.
Continuous explosions took away scores of lives, and also took away the last courage of the Beiyang Army. The plane lowered its altitude, and the machine gun on the nose was pointed at the hurried soldiers.
Ta da da...ta da da...
As soon as the bullets fell, there were a lot of corpses on the ground. Finally, more and more people couldn't stand it any longer, and they ran away in a hurry. The supervising teams were no longer effective. In fact, the supervising teams did not have the courage.
Bonduo originally thought that he could bully the few with more, so he gritted his teeth and fought desperately. However, Fengjun was like a stubborn rock. They couldn't take it off at all. Their confidence began to waver. The appearance of the plane defeated them even more.
With the last bit of confidence, the troops inevitably began to rout.
With the arrival of the air force, Zhou Zijian could finally relax and plunge his bayonet into the body of the officer in front of him. The Beiyang Army around them had disappeared. At this moment, the arms train finally caught up, and the machine gun fired at him.
The artillery supply was restored. The Fengjun soldiers were like rear-armed tigers, chasing the Beiyang Army and running around.
At this time, the main force of Fengjun also came from the north. Under attack from both sides, the rebels completely collapsed. They were defeated like a mountain. Tens of thousands of troops fled for their lives. These people had already lost their lives.
With all their courage, the only thought was to run away as quickly as possible, as far as possible, preferably to Nanjing. Perhaps only with the river blocking them could they have a sense of security.
They broke up, and Fengjun successfully entered Xuzhou. This strategic point between the north and the south finally fell into Fengjun's hands. What excited Fengjun the most was the twelve locomotives in the city. With these, the army could quickly
It's mobile.
Jiang Dengxuan led the army and entered Xuzhou. When he saw Zhou Zijian covered in blood, he was shocked.
"Commander, this is the blood of others, I am not injured."
"Well done!" Jiang Dengxuan then smiled and said, "You have made great achievements again. Go and take a rest!"
"It's no big deal to deal with a bunch of miscellaneous fish. I hope the commander-in-chief can give us another chance and let us continue to be the vanguard and fight all the way to Pukou to capture Jiangbei."
"Okay, it's rare that everyone is so confident, so I'll leave this task to you!"
Zhou Zijian nodded excitedly and hurriedly led the army southward, starting from Xuzhou and going south. Suzhou and Bengbu fell into the hands of Fengjun one after another. The army fought all the way to Pukou on the north bank of the Yangtze River, across the river from Nanjing.
city.
Feng Jun landed in Haizhou on February 11th, and it took less than five days to reach the Yangtze River. This speed simply stunned the world.
Those guys who thought Feng Jun was all talk and no practice received a slap in the face, which made his face swollen. Feng Jun was just silent and became a blockbuster.
At this time, the bustling federal-provincial autonomy received a heavy slap. Xuzhou, which was heavily garrisoned, could not hold out for a day. With such a group of cowards, what was the way out? Those fence-sitters had seen through the situation and quickly retreated.
Don't be fooled, otherwise it will definitely not end well.
It only hurts those who have jumped out. Now it is difficult to turn back. Especially Cao Kun, who had just sat on the throne of the president happily. After hearing the news of the fall of Xuzhou, he suddenly slumped in his position.
I was almost scared to death.
It's true that he wants to be president, but he doesn't want to become the shortest-lived president in history. Qi Xieyuan's men are suffering heavy losses, and the Jiangsu governor has lost half his life. Cao Kun can only kill Cai Chengxun, Xiao Yaonan, Zhao Hengti and others
Invited over.
"You guys must be aware of the current situation. If you have any good ideas, please tell us as soon as possible. If it's too late, Feng Jun will come in.
Several people lowered their heads silently. Fengjun's combat effectiveness far exceeded his imagination. Trying to fight Fengjun was tantamount to hitting an egg with a stone. That would be asking for death.
Xiao Yaonan thought for a while and then said: "President, the only solution for now is to ask Wu Ziyu for help. As long as his army goes south and cooperates with us to defend Jiangnan, there is still hope."
Cao Kun also nodded: "Hey, that's the only thing, but it will take time for Ziyu's army to go south. I'm afraid that Feng's army will have broken Nanjing before his army goes south!"
Just when Cao Kun looked miserable, his subordinates suddenly ran over and shouted excitedly: "President, great news, great news. Two British warships shelled Fengjun near Zhenjiang.
In one camp, dozens of people died, and I heard there were corpses everywhere."
When Cao Kun heard this, he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed: "Well done! The British Empire finally took action. With the help of the British, the Yangtze River is made of iron. I don't believe that no matter how arrogant the Feng army is, they still dare to fight with the British."
If the war fails, we can finally rest easy!"
After Cao Kun finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter. The other people also relaxed their brows and laughed together. The British took action and gave them unprecedented confidence. However, in the eyes of these people, those sacrificed soldiers were not seen at all.
