Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

All the planes and tanks were dispatched, and before Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei's troops had time to react, countless people were bombed.

Moreover, neither Li Chong nor Zhao Mingfei had any particularly powerful weapons.

In fact, the combined number of their armies was only a few tanks.

There are no more than two hundred heavy machine guns.

Although there were a lot of people, their weapons and equipment were very backward.

In fact, the equipment of the warlords in the Republic of China was generally backward, and very few warlords had relatively powerful weapons.

Only the top warlords have things like airplanes and tanks.

Ordinary warlords have no powerful weapons at all, and it is good enough for them to have light or heavy machine guns.

Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei had no planes at all. They did have a few tanks, but they were all old and obsolete.

How can weapons and equipment of this level compete with Longmen’s navy, army and air force?

When all the Longmen planes and tanks rushed over, Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei's troops suffered heavy casualties.

Planes and tanks continued to bombard the front and in the air, and countless people were killed by the artillery fire.

Just after a round of bombing, Ding Li gave a direct order, asking Longmen's 120,000 troops to rush forward and launch a fierce attack.

The 120,000-strong army rushed towards the armies of Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei like a tide.

The combined forces of Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei numbered nearly 100,000 men, but after repeated bombings by planes and tanks, the army was in complete chaos.

Many people were killed in the explosion and the entire army was divided into several pieces.

At this moment, all the people in Longmen rushed up with light and heavy machine guns and mortars.

The bombardment of artillery shells, the strafing of bullets, and the extremely terrifying combat power of the Longmen disciples.

In just a few hours, the battlefield was under control.

The Longmen army of more than 100,000 divided and surrounded Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei's troops in several areas, and then killed them.

There was almost no suspense in the battle.

Originally, the number of people dispatched by Longmen was more than the troops of Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei. In addition, Longmen's weapons and equipment were also superior to those of Zhao Mingfei and Li Chong.

Also, Longmen has been fighting recently, so everyone’s fighting power is very strong.

Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei had a lot of numbers, but they were basically a ragtag group of soldiers with weak combat effectiveness, and were not much stronger than the bandits.

There was a huge gap between the two sides in terms of numbers, combat effectiveness, and weapons and equipment. Therefore, as soon as Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei's army came into contact with the Longmen army, they were defeated and completely crushed.

Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei were both stunned when they saw their troops dying or getting injured on the battlefield.

Li Chong said: "Damn it, my army was destroyed just like that. Tens of thousands of people couldn't hold out for even a few hours. Ye Yunfei, I'm not done with you."

Zhao Mingfei's face turned pale as he said, "Ye Yunfei has planes, tanks, mortars, and light and heavy machine guns."

"His weapons and equipment are far more powerful than ours. They are not even on the same level. We have been completely defeated."

"We have to leave quickly, or we will die."

Li Chong also reacted. The fight had gotten to this point, and if he didn't leave, he would lose his life.

He immediately said, "Yes, let's run quickly. We can't fall into the hands of Ye Yunfei, otherwise it will be very miserable."

The two of them hurried to escape.

"Where are you two going?"

However, before the two men could run a few steps, Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang had already brought people to surround them.

Ding Li held a gun in his hand and looked at Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei jokingly, saying, "You two, one is the governor of Jiangnan and the other is the governor of Jiangbei, both of you are well-known warlords. Why are you abandoning your troops and running away now?"

"Is this what you should do as a general? If you run away like this, won't your soldiers be too disappointed?"

Li Chong said: "Ding Li, we have no grudge against you, why did you lead your troops to hunt us down? You are going too far."

"If you do this, everyone in the Republic of China will sneer at you."

Ding Li sneered and said, "There is no grudge. You two helped Lu Yongxiang to deal with our Longmen before. Brother Fei was kind enough to let you go and gave you military funds. He has done his best for you."

"However, this time, you instigated Wu Fatian and asked him to lead the army to attack Shanghai. You still dare to say that you have no grudges against me."

"You two pieces of shit are disgusting just by being there. Brother Fei doesn't even bother to deal with garbage like you. But you keep challenging Brother Fei's bottom line. You can only die now."

Hearing this, Li Chong said in horror: "Misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding. We didn't help Lu Yongxiang. Didn't we withdraw our troops in the end?"

"And Wu Fatian, it was Wu Fatian who wanted to seize Shanghai, so he attacked you and besieged Shanghai. We really did nothing."

"Ding Li, explain to Ye Yunfei that we really don't want to be his enemy."

Ding Li said: "Okay, I'll take your two heads and explain to Brother Fei, is that ok?"

"You are so talkative. If I cut off your heads, you should be able to speak as well."

Li Chong's face turned pale and he said, "Ding Li, we are willing to give all our territory to you, Longmen. We don't want the south or north of the Yangtze River anymore. Moreover, we are willing to put our army under your command, Longmen."

"Please let us go."

In order to survive, Li Chong planned to give all his territories to Longmen.

Being alive is more important than anything else now.

Ding Li said: "Two idiots, if I kill you, your territory will still belong to Longmen, go to hell."

He opened fire and killed two people.

Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei all died.

After killing the two men, Ding Li said to his men, "Don't waste time, end the battle immediately and destroy the troops under these two men."

One of his men said, "Brother Li, what if someone surrenders? Should we kill them too? There are tens of thousands of people here, and there should be quite a few who surrender."

Ding Li said: "Kill those who surrender. This rubbish army is no different from bandits. What do we need them for? Kill them all."

The subordinate nodded: "Understood, Brother Li."

Then he took people to clean up the battlefield.

Seeing that the battle was already decided, Ding Li came to Xu Wenqiang and said, "Brother Qiang, Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei are really idiots. They are called warlords, but the troops they lead are worse than the other. We didn't even do anything, and they are all dead."

"This battle is really boring."

Xu Wenqiang said: "Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei were not powerful warlords. Their army's combat effectiveness and equipment are very poor. We in Longmen have experienced many battles. If we can't even deal with them, then there is no point in our struggle."

Ding Li said: "That's right, Brother Qiang, the battle here is basically over, what should we do now?"

Xu Wenqiang looked into the distance and said coldly: "The battle here is not important. What is important is Jiangnan and Jiangbei."
