Chapter 335 Preparation for the Northern Expedition
The Battle of Amiens was over, and the war in Europe was coming to an end.
But for Wang Hengyue in the distant country of China, his war has just begun!
The victory of the cross-sea dragon attack and the change of hands in Qiongzhou allowed Wang Hengyue to be less troubled by attacks in the rear area, so he could devote all his energy to the Northern Expedition.
There are people in Beiyang who want war and others who want peace, but within the sphere of influence of the military government, there is only one voice: war!
The five southwestern provinces started to turn like a huge machine. All manpower and material resources were mobilized, all for one purpose: the Northern Expedition!
The war machine has been started, and no one can stop it.
The propaganda machine was also activated at the same time.
The person who is mainly responsible for this work is Wang Hengyue’s director of staff and director of the Propaganda Department Jiang Zhongzheng!
All kinds of methods were used vividly by Chiang Kai-shek.
Newspapers published endless articles about the significance of the Northern Expedition, describing the sacredness of the north: Streets and streets
They were all talking about the upcoming Northern Expedition.
Once the people's enthusiasm is completely mobilized, even Wang Hengyue will be unable to stop it!
August 10, 1918, Whampoa Military Academy!
This day is a day that must be remembered in the history of China: on this day, the National Socialist Army Military Academy, Naval Military Academy, and Air Force Military Academy of the Chinese National Socialist Party opened at the same time!
The opening ceremony was held at Huangpu Military Academy.
Wang Hengyue, leader of the National Socialist Party of China, Grand Marshal of the Guangzhou Revolutionary Military Government, and Principal of Whampoa Military Academy, appeared at the opening ceremony!
Looking at the young, proud and youthful faces below, Wang Hengyue's voice rang in the ears of all the students: "The officer academy is the foundation of the army, and you are the foundation of the revolution! What is revolution?
〗Fate? In ancient times, it was in accordance with nature and in accordance with people! Now, it is a drastic means to achieve justice and restore order!
The towering China is surrounded by endless wars: the earth trembles and the people are devastated! Violent revolution is the most drastic means and the most necessary means. To restore the strength of China, even if our generation cannot succeed, we still have you, and
Your descendants! As long as all our comrades in the party unite as one and work hard, the revolution will surely succeed and a strong country will surely emerge. This is our unswerving goal of lifelong struggle!
Youth is the foundation of the revolution. Whampoa Military Academy, Naval Military Academy, and Air Force Military Academy are the cradle of cultivating military and political talents for the revolution. They are the cradle of creating a revolutionary army, saving China from danger, and strengthening China.
The backbone of the nation!
On the road of revolution, people will die, and many people will die. When the revolution truly wins, I, you, I don’t know how many people will be alive. But a person who lives in justice
Even if people and their followers die, their faces have gradually faded away. However, when people look up at the sky, they will see that the sky is illuminated by the light they emit.
The voices and smiles of such people will exist at all times and will never wither. Moreover, when they are about to leave this world, they leave behind many incarnations. These people will inherit their unfinished work and complete it.
.
I am my hope for you!" After saying that, Wang Hengyue raised his hand and saluted all the students with a military salute, and did not put it down for a long time...
"Long live the [Revolution]! Long live the Northern Expedition!! Long live the [Revolution] military government!!! Long live the Generalissimo!!!"
Thunderous cheers sounded at this moment!
The future and hope of the nation will inevitably start from here: the strength and growth of the country will also inevitably start from these young students!
Liu Zhaocheng, Li Zongren, Wang Mingzhang, Bai Chongxi, Yang Sen, and Yang Jie have all entered their respective command positions. Supplies have been continuously transported to the front line, and all work is being carried out in a busy and orderly manner.
The consuls general from various countries are also watching Guangzhou silently!
Logistics issues are a top priority, and Wang Hengyue has always taken care of them personally. Wang Hengyue even gave himself an official title as a joke: the General Logistics Director of the Northern Expedition!
I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
When the soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles, he must not let the soldiers on the front line go hungry without food, and he must not let the soldiers on the front line suffer unnecessary losses without bullets!
My brother-in-law Ma Weiyi has become the busiest person!
Compared with his brother, Ma Weiyi seems very ordinary.
Ma Weizhongting was always a fierce general under Wang Hengyue, guarding Tibet. Several times when she encountered those rebels who were not willing to die, she was always able to suppress them with thunderous force. She even got an extra nickname:
"Horse Butcher".
But Ma Weiyi is much more unknown. He seems to only focus on doing his own thing well, and the rest of the world will have nothing to do with him.
But Wang Hengyue knows how important he is!
During several wars, he had never been troubled by the shortage of supplies. No matter how urgent or difficult it was, Ma Weiyi always completed his tasks in an orderly manner.
You don't think such a person is very important when he is around, but once he is gone, you will realize how much loss you will suffer if you leave this person.
Wang Hengyue once said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I won't change my nose if Ma Weiyi gives me two noses!"
"Deng Ximo!" Just as he was watching cartloads of supplies being loaded and transported, Wang Hengyue suddenly saw Deng Xia hurriedly running past not far away and stopped him.
"Heng Shuai!" The heroic Deng Xia trotted over.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Wang Hengyue said with a straight face.
"Reporting to Commander Heng, my armored division has been pulled to the front line. I just reported the situation to the Chief of General Staff and am now ready to return to the front line!"
Wang Hengyue nodded: "In the last war, we dispatched specious "armored vehicles", but this is your armored unit's first battle. Fight better!" "Yes!" Deng Xia replied loudly.
Wang Hengyue pondered for a moment: "The Battle of Amiens is over. It was a decisive battle that ended the European war. Do you remember the pros and cons of the use of armored vehicles in the Battle of Amiens that I sent you?"
"Keep it in mind!" Deng Xia replied loudly.
But it's still a little strange. The Battle of Amiens hasn't even ended yet. Heng Shuai has already personally written a summary of the Battle of Amiens and sent it to the hands of senior officers, especially the armored vehicles called "tanks" by Europeans.
Above, Heng Shuai wrote even more extremely carefully.
Deng Xia clearly remembered what Heng Shuai wrote in his summary: "Without armored troops, the German army would not have been subject to such a serious surprise attack on the morning of August 8th, which resulted in an uncontrollable panic.
When the infantry saw that neither rifles nor machine guns could stop the opponent's tanks, they felt that they were powerless. As a result, they either surrendered or fled.
The Germans are very willing to attribute all the reasons for their failure to armored vehicles. This excuse deserves review, but it is unreasonable... In battles, psychological strikes should be the goal...
The war-weariness of German officers and soldiers was very strong, and the sudden appearance of armored vehicles provided them with a good condition. In most cases, officers and soldiers believed that the approach of armored vehicles could be a good excuse to suspend the battle, and their sense of responsibility could enable them to face
The enemy infantry fought bravely, but when the armored vehicles appeared, they felt they had enough reason to surrender!
The battle on August 8 caused the German army's combat effectiveness to begin to collapse, especially in the reserves.
They have no hope of finding enough strategic reserves to turn the situation in Germany's favor. The future war has become an irresponsible gamble, which I think is bound to fail.
For Germany's commanders, the fate of the German nation was too high a stake.
So the war should be over.
The battle from August 8 to 11 became the last battle..."
Perhaps, Hengshuai has a huge piece of information in Europe that he doesn't know about. "Xi Mo, listen carefully to me." Wang Hengyue pondered for a moment: "The use of armored vehicles will appear for the first time on the domestic battlefield. Mental strikes,
This effect will be huge.
We will not use armored forces on a large scale like the Battle of Amiens, but as armored vehicles fight on the domestic battlefield for the first time, it will inevitably cause a great psychological shock to the enemy. While breaking through the position, it will also play a role in breaking the enemy's military morale.
Function!" "Yes! I have already firmly remembered what Hengshuai said about the gains and losses of the Amiens battle!" Wang Hengyue nodded: "Not only must you remember it, but you must also learn and apply it. This time it is not only the armored troops, but also the aircraft.
The battle of Amiens has well pointed out that future wars will no longer be dominated by the army, but by land, sea and air. At this point, our National Revolutionary Army has not fallen behind!"
In the Battle of Amiens, the Allies dispatched a total of 2,684 artillery pieces, 511 tanks, 16
Armored cars and about 1,000 aircraft. When they saw the document "Pros and Losses of the Battle of Amiens", the psychological shock to the National Revolutionary Army was extremely huge.
Gone are the days when we relied solely on infantry and bravery to fight.
No matter how many machine guns you have, you may be unable to resist attacks from all sides, including land, sea and air. No matter how many soldiers you have, you may be completely defeated by the combined attacks of armored vehicles, aircraft and artillery.
This report from Wang Hengyue came at a very timely time.
With the progress of the times, and as the European War is coming to an end, the combat ideas of these [Chinese] military officers are also undergoing major changes. The European War has given them too much inspiration.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is an eternal truth.
Fortunately, as bystanders, they realized too much and learned too many new things on the battlefield!!
