Section 254 Wu Yi made a move to determine the Central Plains
After a heated debate, Guo Chunshu still persuaded Wu Chenxuan to decide to send troops to the conditional edict. On the 15th, Guo Chunshu sent a letter to Yixuan to restore his life. On the 16th, Wu Chenxuan bowed his gratitude and sent a letter to the cabinet, proposing eight strategies for sending troops, and then went south to supervise the division, first quelling the riots in Suqian, and then raising troops to march west to attack Wuchang.
At the beginning of Wu's comeback, it was clear that the Qing court had lost the ability to control the situation. Although Feng Guozhang and other direct generals of Beiyang have publicly confessed many times that their solution to the Xinhai crisis is to implement a constitutional monarchy. Cao Kun also promised the revolutionary party a constitutional monarchy and a responsible cabinet. Fung Kwok-cheung himself became the prime minister. Before Tie Liang, Wu Chenxuan and others went south, Feng Guozhang recruited Liu Chengen to Zhangde to plan to "appease" the revolutionary party, and sent his confidant Cai Tinggan to Wuchang with Liu Chengen to discuss peace and explore, on the condition that the monarchy should be constitutional. Cai Tinggan, who was ordered by Feng Guozhang, tried his best to state that the republican form of government was not suitable for China's national conditions, and promised to use high-ranking officials to seek to divide and disintegrate the Wuhan Revolutionary Army.
Beginning on October 18, the Revolutionary Army and the Qing Army Lianyong and Patrol Battalion of Tieliang Commander launched the "Battle for Hankou" in Hankou for more than 10 days. In the battle for Hankou, although the rebel army won the "three battles and three victories" of Liujiamiao's victory. However, due to the negligence of the front-line commanders and the increasing strength of the Qing army besieging Hankow, Hankow was finally trapped by Qing government forces on November 1. Just when Hankou was in danger, Huang Kedi arrived in Wuchang on October 28. On November 3, Huang Kedi became the commander-in-chief of the war, and immediately deployed the Hanyang Campaign. However, due to the rebel army's "officers do not need to die", "the army has no education", "lack of machine guns and field artillery" and other reasons, on the 27th, Hanyang fell, and Huang Kedi left Han for Shanghai on the same day, continuing the tradition of Commander Huang's repeated defeats and battles. From then on, the Hubei revolutionaries moved to the stage of trapping Wuchang. When the Qing court saw that the Wuhan Revolutionary Army had been defeated one after another under the numerical superiority of the old army, it also looked down on it, and Zaifeng actually declared at the military aircraft that "it is enough to train courage in the Eight Banners and fight against Yasukuni." Wu Chenxuan's eight-point strategy was shelved by the Military Aircraft Department, and Wu Chenxuan did not care at all, because he had already pulled up the tiger skin, and the Wuyi New Army began to reorganize and expand the army in the name of dealing with the revolutionary party, and summoned a large number of reserve soldiers and young students who had undergone military training from the four provinces to join the army, and the troops rapidly swelled from about 100,000 to the level of 250,000 people in 24 divisions and 4 aviation wings, and its terrifying expansion strength was displayed for the first time in front of the world.
The six main forces of the left, right, center, front, rear, and wing were split and rapidly expanded into the structure of three main army groups:
The group army directly under Wu Chenxuan as the commander, Wu Ziyu as the deputy commander, and Xu Youzheng as the chief of staff, includes 6 divisions with different characteristics, namely the "Xuanyuan" infantry instructor who specializes in infantry defense, the "Dahan" armored instructor who specializes in armored assault, the "Sheng Tang" rapid instructor who is characterized by fast and lightness, the "Qiang Yuan" imitation instructor who often simulates the Japanese and German armies, and the 70th Mountain Division composed of mountain people in the Linyi area, and the 11th Independent Cavalry Division led by Hülegü from Horqin Mongolia. These elites did not go south to participate in the war, and have been staying in northern Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, northern Anhui and other places, and beware of the Beiyang Army of the two factions at any time.
The Seventh Group Army, with Du Zicheng as commander, Lan Tianwei as deputy commander, and Xiao Mingfeng as chief of staff, expanded the main regiments of Zuozhen and Qianzhen into infantry divisions, which were respectively reorganized into the 3rd, 5th, 9th, 15th, and 17th Infantry Divisions and the 10th Mountain Division.
The Eighth Group Army, with Wu Luzhen as commander and Zhang Shao as chief of staff, expanded the main regiments of Youzhen and Houzhen into infantry divisions, which were respectively reorganized into the 4th, 6th, 8th, 16th, and 18th Infantry Divisions and the 20th Mountain Division, and similarly organized the Huamawan Base Training Team and a group of retired special forces under He Dazhuang as the backbone to form the 99th Rapid Reaction Division, and the 36th and 38th Independent Cavalry Divisions with Xilin Gol and Alxa cavalry as the main body were strengthened to the Eighth Group Army.
The three independent artillery clusters composed of 80 new heavy artillery divisions equipped with 80 L22 howitzers of 155 mm caliber with 23 x diameter barrels and 105mm light howitzers named 150 L21 have become the artillery group of the new army. He Xingtian, the guy in the hands of the artillery commander, usually hides it, but this time he reorganized it and spread out all the treasure troves of the dragon lord to cool down, which can make the commanders and division commanders of the infantry envious. At most, the effect of the regimental firepower salvo has made Duan Zhiquan, who has seen the world, sigh that it has the power of shaking the world and shaking the earth, if the entire artillery group army covers a certain target, the destructive power that destroys the world is not at all what the soldiers of this era dare to imagine, even the military fans of later generations are difficult to find a firepower output with such an amazing destructive power in addition to a nuclear explosion.
Feng Ru, Feng Dafei, and Wei Yu Wei Lihuang's standard flight team is even more shotgun, three tactical support wings of 300 Swift 3A fighter-bombers and one wing of 50 Dayan 1B twin-engine medium bombers, not counting the 50 Swift 1 modified two-seat trainer planes in the aviation school and the 20 air combat Swift 2C fighters in the base. Although there is a large group of fighters, but in recent years, the Linyi Aviation School, which has been expanding its recruitment, has not been idle, and the pilots alone have trained thousands, not counting the more than 300 rookies who have not flown alone in the school, and the maintenance school has trained no less than 3,000 ground staff and maintenance personnel, in addition to dozens of poached by standard aviation, it can fully support the maintenance and overhaul tasks of the aviation team. In addition to the immaturity of passenger transportation, the air force officers of the new army of Wuyi, which was originally the highest salary in China, spit on the air force pilots and mechanics who drove cars to work from time to time, because the treatment of these guys in leather jackets caught up with them three or four times, not counting the share of the air force's extra money, and the income of a squad leader of an air force is not inferior to that of a senior regiment commander of an armyOh, it's the previous standard.
At present, this air force has no way to show off like He Cannon's team, but has to continue to disperse and hide, and even flight training is carried out in two bases in turn. This time the troops were only allowed to be on the field of a large group of fighters, Feng Ru, who was originally a pure technical nerd, was not as prestigious as Wei Lihuang, under his whip, the captain of the three tactical support wings accepted the condition of letting a wing choose a brigade to fight every month, although there was less meat, but every family had a little soup and water, unlike the wing captain of the bomber wing who only squatted in the corner and drew circles, who let his bomber once it was a violent demolition work, whether it was to suppress bandits or quell chaos, Flowers and plants are all Chinese family business, so why spoil it.
The imperial court was not in a hurry, Wu Chenxuan simply did not go out to find the bad luck of those revolutionary parties, and let the old and young men of Tieliang play handsome. On November 1, Tie Liang arrived in Xiaojiagang, Hubei Province from Anyang and officially served as the commander-in-chief of Wuhan. On the same day, the Yiliang cabinet resigned, Tie Liang's later * Tai alcohol prince Zaifeng was appointed as the prime minister of the cabinet, Tie Liang in the early stage of the rebellion out of the army is still under his command, Zaifeng also spared no effort to encourage the transfer of the Praetorian Guard from the capital to the front line for Tie Liang to practice, fortunately Tie Liang although the skills of the war are trendy, but the balance is still quite good. On November 8, the day when Zaifeng officially became the prime minister, Duan Zhigui rushed to the front line of Xiaojiagang with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from the fourth town, and Tie Liang immediately appointed Duan Zhigui as the deputy commander-in-chief of the suppression, and also took the initiative to return to Beijing to resume his life, so that Duan Zhigui could command the Qing army on the front line. On November 9th, Duan Zhigui was not stupid, the fourth town was his capital, and he would definitely not fight with the revolutionary party, he sent someone to Wuchang Zhao'an, and a few days later brought back a letter from Huang Kedi's revolutionaries on behalf of the uprising to Chinese Napoleon and Huasheng * Don Xiang expectations, or the old tune of the Manchu and Han dynasties, completely unknown that Duan Zhigui and his ilk are warlords who have milk and are mothers, if your revolutionary party can have the ability to open up the situation, it is his Duan Zhigui's own mother, if the Qing court can borrow a lot of silver, milk * water is a foot, Duan Zhigui didn't even beat him, so he beheaded the revolutionary party in his hand and packed it and brought it to the Qing court as a gift. Li Yuanlong, Wang Zhaoming and others were kept in the dark or simply wishful thinking to hope that Duan Zhigui would repent and stand on the same front with the revolutionaries and shed their blood, and they even had similar expressions of recommending Duan Zhigui as the first president of the newly established republic.
However, the revolutionary party was not all a monkey invited to make a joke, but on November 8, with the planning and support of the central branch of the revolutionary party, Xu Shaozhen, the commander of the ninth town of the New Army, declared an uprising at Moling Pass, 60 miles outside Nanjing. Xu Shaozhen, Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai, and the generals of the rebel army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang agreed to form a coalition army to attack Nanjing, with Xu Shaozhen as the commander-in-chief. On November 11, the Allied Forces Headquarters was established in Zhenjiang. From November 24 to December 1, under the unified command of Commander-in-Chief Xu Shaozhen, the coalition forces successively captured Wulong Mountain, Shogunate Mountain, Yuhuatai, Tianbaocheng and other strongholds. On December 2, he captured the city of Nanjing in one fell swoop, which also became the only remaining victory of Huang Kedi's achievements. At this point, all the south of the Yangtze River was owned by the revolutionary army, and representatives of various provinces moved from Wuhan to Nanjing. On the same day, through the mediation of the British consul in Hankow, Ge Fu, the Wuhan Revolutionary Army reached an armistice agreement with the Anhui and Qing armies led by Duan Zhigui.
When Shanghai's "Zilin Xibao" and other media believed that China was about to open the next era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Wu Chenxuan, who had always been a low-key person, did one thing in a high-profile manner, which made the entire first year of Xuantong come to an end in an exclamation.
