Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Immediately afterwards, fifty heavy artillery pieces, ninety mountain artillery pieces and three hundred mortar artillery pieces began the most brutal firepower attack.

In order to achieve long-term peace and stability in the entire Jiangxi region, Liao Lei doesn't mind showing the powerful firepower of the Fourth Division to the world.In fact, 20 years after the Battle of Ji'an, Liao Lei's name still has the effect of stopping children from crying.

The fourth division's firepower preparation lasted for 10 minutes, and almost all the shells it carried were shot out. In Liao Lei's words, it was just a hammer to buy and sell anyway, so bring those iron guys to eat.

Naturally, the artillerymen did not consider the cost. They were very willing to enjoy this kind of combat method where they could beat people hard without worrying about the opponent fighting back. They all took off their shirts, reloaded desperately, closed the door, and fired. . .

Hu Hansan's men suffered a lot at this moment. The mountain cannon positions supported by Li Chun were bombarded immediately. Six of the twenty cannons were destroyed immediately, and the rest were also destroyed in the shell explosion. 100 A number of gunners trained strictly by Japanese instructors were very lucky. At that time, they were eating 100 meters away from the position.The huge blast caused by the explosion knocked these Beiyang artillery to the ground. Out of psychological dependence, Hu Hansan, who felt safer with the artillery, set up the division headquarters in a yard less than 150 meters away from the artillery position.It is reasonable to say that this distance is considered safe, but unfortunately a shell that deviated from the track landed and exploded in the courtyard outside the division headquarters.A large number of officers sent by Li Chun to assist Hu Hansan's command were eating breakfast in the yard. They were still in pain after drinking the wine last night, but they all watched the shells fall from the sky but did not take any self-rescue measures.The huge explosion knocked out all the windows of the division headquarters, and even Hu Hansan, who had just woken up from a hangover, was jolted back to the bed by the heat wave, his eardrums buzzing.

When Hu Hansan got up again and rushed outside the house, there were more than 30 Beiyang military officers lying in disorder all over the yard, and they couldn't be saved.

It can be said that Liao Lei's first round broke the central command system of Hu Hansan, and Hu Hansan couldn't play any moths he wanted to play now.

And just as the artillery fire began to extend in depth, the infantry of the Youth Army launched an impact on the positions of the three Hu Han troops in strict accordance with the principle of infantry coordination.

Although the three tribes of Hu and Han are all brave and ruthless people, after the attack of modern weapons, the disadvantages of lack of formal training have all come out.The shelling just now caused at least [-] casualties, but the remaining [-] people no longer had the determination to stick to their positions. They dropped their weapons and turned around to flee as far as they could.

Liao Lei took this scene into his eyes through the binoculars, and said angrily: "Damn, are they still men, do they fight like this?"

No wonder Liao Lei was so angry. Since the battle at Zhujiaqiao, the [-]th Division didn't even win a decent battle. All the opponents either surrendered or ran away. Anyway, when they saw the Tiger Banner of the Youth Army, they lost all fighting spirit. .

In this way, fighting becomes a march, and nothing else, military merits and so on are gone.Moreover, Liao Lei also got the plan for Operation Blue Light, knowing that after he captured Jiangxi, he would have no work to do.This is something that Liao Lei, who is determined to make meritorious service, cannot allow. He has already sent an urgent call to Changsha's old chief Li Zongren, asking him to find a way to get his fourth division to participate in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang battle, which is definitely a tough battle. Although the current battle Still on paper.

Hu Hansan was dumbfounded when he saw the army routed like a tide. He immediately organized a supervising team to stop it, hoping to drive the soldiers back and continue to resist.

But these soldiers who have just put on official uniforms are still members of the regiment. They consider themselves the head of the regiment and do not recognize any military law. Not only do they not obey orders, but they also choose to raise their guns and shoot with the supervisory team after the supervisory team shoots. The whole scene is in chaos .

For this reason, Hu Hansan also knew that the general situation was going to go, and he had no choice but to be wrapped up in the chaos and fled all the way north.

But it's not so easy to escape now. Cheng Qian, who suffered a big loss under Ji'an City yesterday, has copied Hu Hansan's retreat overnight.The Ninth Division set up ambushes at several major intersections, and the Hu Han Sanbu, which had lost its organizational system, jumped into the ambush without even thinking about it. Naturally, they were beaten up and suffered heavy casualties.

The Ninth Division fully developed the style of beating the dog in the water, and everyone was suffocated yesterday, so they didn't let anyone go.More than 9000 people were captured, and Hu Hansan, who thought he was about to become a famous general, was also among the captured people, and was quickly identified together with dozens of other regiment leaders.Then he was dragged to Cheng Qian and Lu Diping by the angry soldiers of the Ninth Division like dead dogs. It's not easy to plant a manipulative arm to stop a car from knowing what's good or bad, what we have to do is not to kill him, but to let him live well and regret it for the rest of his life."

As soon as Cheng Qian heard that it made sense, he stepped forward to give Hu Hansan two slaps on his ears, and then signaled to shoot all the other regimental leaders to stand up. As for Hu Hansan, he escorted Anjiang to wait for the legal trial.According to the latest Order No. [-] issued by the Supreme Command, anyone who stubbornly resists and undermines the peaceful reunification of the country will be treated as a war criminal and sentenced to life imprisonment without pardon.

At this point in the matter, Hu Hansan remembered his father's advice before his death, don't cause trouble, but it's too late.

In fact, Hu Hansan was sentenced to life imprisonment after being escorted to Anjiang. He worked in a labor camp in Guangxi for 25 years. He was released at the age of 45 when he applied to serve in the Indonesian Construction Corps because of the new policy. . .

Chapter 236 The Great March ([-])

The battle of Ji'an ended like a child's play. When Long Yunfei's cavalry appeared in front of Li Chun's scouts, Li Chun didn't care about the life and death of Hu Hansan, a sworn brother, because there were at least seven or eight such brothers in Jiangxi. indivual.

Li Chun's very decisive commander quit Jiangxi and went to Nanjing, where Feng Guozhang had already planned to reorganize the Sixth Division, and Li Chun would also serve as the commander of the Sixth Division.

In the battle of Ji'an, the [-] troops disappeared in less than a day. When the news came out, the whole province of Jiangxi was in an uproar. Lin Hu, the commander of the third division of the Gan army guarding Nanchang, was still hesitating whether to revolt like Ouyang Wu.Because he was different from Ouyang Wu. During the second revolution, he took advantage of Lao Yuan and turned against him in Hukou. If he turns back now, Li Liejun may not let him go.

It's a pity that time waits for no one. He hesitated so much, and the officers under him would quit. On the night of February 2, there was a mutiny in Nanchang. In fact, there was not much movement. The army of a regiment surrounded the division headquarters, and then Lin Hu tied up.

On February 2, Tao Zhiyue and Li Liejun led the First Division of the Youth Army into Nanchang City.

Later, Li Liejun merged the three divisions of the Jiangxi Army into the Jiangxi Guard Army as agreed, and then took the post of commander-in-chief. Then he led his troops to Fujian with the 100 million yuan start-up fee provided by the Youth Army.There, Xu Chongzhi's army was engaged in a tug-of-war with Li Houji's army outside Fuzhou.The two sides have been fighting each other for 30 days, and they are already at the end of their strength, and no one has the energy to deal with the other.The most important point is that compared with Li Houji, who controls the Fuzhou Arsenal, Xu Chongzhi's ammunition stored before the uprising and obtained from Wang Zhenyu is gradually running out.You must know that if there are no bullets, no matter how many rifles there are, the effect is not as good as a fire stick.

Therefore, while Xu Chongzhi urgently telegraphed Sun Yat-sen to inform him of the truth, requesting the dispatch of a batch of ammunition supplies as soon as possible, he ordered his troops to suspend the attack and wait for reinforcements.

On Li Houji's side, of course, he also saw the reality of the guards, but he had no choice but to follow suit because of his lack of troops. He called the Nanjing Yangtze River Patrol Envoy and the Ministry of the Army in Beijing to send reinforcements as soon as possible. , while ordering the department to be on strict alert.So this situation, which was called a sit-in war by later historians, lasted for more than half a month at a stretch. If Li Liejun didn't come again, it might not be a big problem if it continued for another half a year.Anyway, it’s just how impatient the boss above is, and the gang of soldiers below are very satisfied with the status quo. The boss is urging him tightly, rushing two steps, firing two shots, then lying on the ground to listen to the other party’s voice, and looking at the sun in the sky when it’s over, When we were not far from the back of the mountain, everyone stopped work for dinner, and it was another day.According to Xu Chongzhi's chief of staff Luo Yiqun's report to Sun Yat-sen, this army has no revolutionary spirit at all except in the name of revolution.But now Sun Yat-sen can rely on such an army. At this moment, Chen Jiongming is also risking the territory of Guangdong being seized, leading the second division of the Guangdong army into Fujian, and the battle situation in Fujian and Zhejiang is about to undergo earth-shaking changes. . .

"What, Nanchang is also lost?" Yuan Shikai felt a burst of uncontrollable pain in his chest. These days, bad news kept coming, and Lao Yuan's health was getting worse day by day.The lower body is in severe pain every day because of uremia, but it is hard to talk about it.

Yuan Shikai punished Yuan Keding, Yang Du and others not long ago, but they just stopped calling.With the situation at hand, Lao Yuan knew that it would be of no avail even if all those who had tampered with the monarchy were killed.

Just yesterday, February 2, when Li Yuanhong announced the independence of Hubei and urged him to abdicate as soon as possible, Yuan Shikai fainted directly in Ju Ren Tang.So when I saw Li Liejun's announcement of Jiangxi's independence today, Yuan Shikai was not in Ju Ren Tang, Zhongnanhai, but in the Presidential Palace in Iron Lion Alley.It seems that he was hit by the news of Hubei's fall yesterday, and Yuan Shikai did not faint again when he saw the news of Jiangxi's fall today.

"It's too fast. A huge province can't last for even a month. It takes only a day to lose a province. This is not an attack. This is the speed of the march." Yuan Shikai dropped the message, as if I don't want to watch this thing anymore, I just sighed alone on the bed.

The aunts and wives who served Lao Yuan hurriedly called in the person who worked for Lao Yuan, but Lao Yuan shook his head at the visitor and said, "Duan Zhiquan doesn't know the general idea, and I have nothing to say. You can help me with the matters in the south." Tell Hua Fu and Pin Qing to let them think about it, and don't need to ask me again. In addition, please ask Mr. Xu to come out, organize the government, and raise supplies. Beiyang still has to find a way to maintain the situation. Well, yes, send someone Please Lei Zhenchun come to my place."

This Lei Zhenchun is also top notch, he was originally serving as an army envoy and commander of the Seventh Division in Henan, but he was transferred to be the director of the Military, Political and Law Enforcement Division of the Beijing Division.This was originally a fat job, but Wang Yaqiao and the others were tossing around in the Beijing-Tianjin area. Sorry, even the old nest was given to the so-called Iron and Blood Salvation Association.Lao Yuan originally planned to replace this old boy, but firstly, there was no suitable candidate at that time, and secondly, the situation gradually stabilized later (the Beijing station went into a latent state), so the director has not been replaced.

Moreover, Lei Zhenchun is also very active and loyal on the issue of the imperial system, which is very rare for Lao Yuan.That congressman didn't open his eyes, so Director Lei immediately went to arrest him, and then he made up a charge of fornication and disorderly party, and then he understood.

Such a loyal and good comrade, Yuan Shikai naturally thought of him when he wanted to do something at this critical time.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, Zhenchun is here." Although Yuan Shikai resumed the title of President of the Republic of China, Lei Zhenchun, who regarded himself as a vicious dog and a loyal dog, didn't care about these things, and he still called Lao Yuan as His Majesty the Great Emperor.

Lao Yuan seemed to be somewhat satisfied with this, so he didn't try to correct the mistake: "Zhenchun, how did you do with the tasks assigned to you last time?"

Lei Zhenchun immediately remembered what was going on. Last time the old man asked him to kill Chen Qimei, the leader of the rebellious party active in Shanghai, he was a little bit embarrassed at that time.Because this Chen Qimei is not simple, he is from the Green Gang, he is also a prominent figure in Shanghai, the most important thing is that he is also an expert in assassination, it may be difficult to kill such a person easily.

But Lei Zhenchun still replied respectfully: "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, this matter has been settled, and the operatives have entered the concession in Shanghai and are making arrangements. They will start when Chen Yingshi, a fat fish, takes the bait."

Yuan Shikai was half lying on the bed at the moment, with his back resting on a thick pillow. He was also a fine person. Lei Zhenchun's words just now were obviously perfunctory to himself, saying it was the same as not saying it.But in times of crisis, there are only so many people who can use it.Yuan Shikai nodded with great difficulty and said: "Zhenchun, this matter has been done well, but let's not worry about it for now. I have another important matter that will determine the future for you to handle. After finishing this errand, For the provinces in the south, you can just pick one and go to govern.”

Lei Zhenchun is very clear about Beiyang's current situation. He doubts whether the old man's promise can be fulfilled, but besides the old man, who else can he rely on now?In the past few years, the law enforcement department has done many bad things. If the old man hadn't protected him, he would have been taken care of by others. He naturally bowed and said: "Please order from His Majesty, Zhenchun will definitely go through fire and water, and will not hesitate to do so."

Yuan Shikai nodded in satisfaction, motioned for Lei Zhenchun to sit down, and ordered the others to leave.Then he grabbed Lei Zhenchun's hand and said: "This time the southern rebellion, I miscalculated the opponent. I only thought that Cai E was our confidant, but the real opponent was Wang Zhenyu, who pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger." Guy, careless, careless."

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, don't blame yourself. I think Wang Zhenyu is just a clown. He won't be able to toss around for a few days. At that time, the soldiers in front will use their lives. His fate will be the same as that of Bai Lang and his ilk." Lei Zhenchun did not forget to comfort Lao Yuan.

Yuan Shikai shook his head and said, "I have a piece of news from Japanese diplomats. This news is related to the case of Prince Qing's Mansion. Wang Zhenyu's pocket. That is to say, Wang Zhenyu, who was a hostage in Beijing back then, actually did so many things under our noses, and the most ridiculous thing is that I listened to Xiong Bingsan's words, thought this kid was a fool, and let him go Him. From the looks of it now, this is simply letting the tiger go back to the mountain."

Lei Zhenchun couldn't hold back immediately: "It's him, damn it!"

If you want to say what Lei Zhenchun's greatest wish in life is, it's definitely not to get promoted and get rich, but to get rid of the guy who made himself ashamed in Beijing back then.Now Lao Yuan actually told him that the mastermind of those incidents was Wang Zhenyu, how could you make him not angry.

"Your Majesty, tell me, what should I do?" Lei Zhenchun asked almost gnashing his teeth.

What Yuan Shikai wanted was such an effect. He coughed a few times and said calmly: "It is impossible for us in Beiyang to defeat Wang Zhenyu and the others by military alone. I have no idea how long Nanjing can last. Those foreign devils also There is no good thing. Seeing that we have narrowed down, even the loan has stopped. After much deliberation, I can only find some experts to kill Wang Zhenyu. This youth army is based on this person, and he is still young. He is young, and there is no one who can succeed him. Once something happens to him, the youth army will be full of excitement. At that time, we Beiyang will have a chance to turn the tide of the war. So Zhenchun, this matter is not the same as killing Chen Yingshi. Hooligans are different, you must keep it secret and implement it yourself, if you don’t succeed, you can only be benevolent.”

Lei Zhenchun nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, I will arrange it right away. No matter what this time, I will settle the old and new accounts together. I must kill Wang Zhenyu, a reckless boy."

Chapter 237 The Eve of the Final Battle

When the good news from Jiangxi came, Wang Zhenyu was in the office and staged a uniform temptation with his second aunt, and all the pressure accumulated in these days was released and satisfied.

Hearing the sound of the victory, Wang Zhenyu, who had already put on his clothes, was about to go out, while Zhao Yuting, who was getting dressed, was frightened and hurriedly called to wait.

Wang Zhenyu stopped embarrassingly, and smiled apologetically at the shy Zhao Yuting.Zhao Yuting rolled her eyes at Wang Zhenyu and said softly: "By the way, you just forgot to tell me that you played tricks just now, and my father has already told Sister Wen several times, saying that since the hometown of Baoqing Mansion has been restored, let's raise the price." The family moved back. Sister Wen has been procrastinating, just waiting for you to make up your mind."

Wang Zhenyu immediately felt that this matter was very troublesome. His cheap father was a stubborn person at all, and he was very clear about his mentality as a son.It's nothing more than that his son is too strong, which makes him unable to shake the prestige of the parent.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu suddenly thought of a few things: "Let's talk about it in advance, the Baoqing Mansion has just been liberated, and the National Socialist Party's work team and security forces are establishing a new order there, and it will not stop for a while. By the way, Yuting, I remembered something. It seems that your parents and brothers in your hometown in Guangxi are still there. When the war here is over, you can take them with you. After all, you are a family. And there is Make arrangements, we will visit the clan uncle tomorrow, he has been in Anjiang for some time, we have never visited, it is not appropriate."

Zhao Yuting was almost overwhelmed by the sudden happiness, she tried her best to calm her mind and replied: "Remember, master, because you have been busy with the family uncle's affairs, I just decided on my own, and the military newspaper will send it every day." A past."

Wang Zhenyu chuckled, walked back, and gently scratched Zhao Yuting's fine onion-white jade-like nose with the index finger of his right hand before opening the door and going out. . .

"Tao Zhiyue and Cheng Qian are not bad. They took Jiangxi so quickly and wiped out [-] enemies. This number is not worth it." Wang Zhenyu was in a good mood when he saw the victory report.
