Chen Xuan decided to rest for a day in Jiaxing, so that the troops could do an adaptive training, and at the same time collect information on all aspects of Shanghai, and at the same time, he could also give Li Qingquan confidence in the reorganization of the green battalion.

Facts have proved that although Mu Xindi is a little shameless, he still has the ability to be an official and do things, Chen Xuan's army garrison has long been cleaned, and there is all kinds of water, hot food, so that Chen Xuan's troops can eat a hot meal when they get off the train, and the work of camping is saved.

After lunch, I handed over the training work to the commanders of the various units under my subordinates, and then looked at Li Qingquan's reorganization of the Green Battalion soldiers.

Back at his headquarters, the operational staff officers had already prepared a sand table based on the information collected by Du Yuesheng, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion were also sent out to inquire about the news and compare it with the information provided by Du Yuesheng's Archives Bureau.

"Commander, according to the report of the brothers in front, Ai Zhongqi, who was temporarily organized into the 23rd Association, was not able to enter Shanghai, and the ambassadors of various foreign embassies unanimously refused to allow Ai Zhongqi's troops to enter Shanghai on the grounds of avoiding riots, so Ai Zhongqi's recruits and the escort of the Yuqing brothers did not meet."

On this formal occasion, Du Yuesheng's address to Chen Xuan is no longer so casual.

"In addition to his new army, Ai Zhongqi also mobilized 3,000 green battalion soldiers to help in the war, plus his own new army with a total of more than 8,000 people, weapons and equipment are all according to the standard equipment of the new army, obviously he has learned that our department is advancing eastward, and the troops are transferred to Songjiang to garrison, and are building fortifications in Hujiadi Town, west of Songjiang."

"Have you gotten Ai Zhongqi's defense map?"

"Part of it has already arrived, it has been marked on the sand table, and the brothers are trying to figure out the whole picture."

Chen Xuan didn't pay much attention to Ai Zhongqi's fortifications, because after living in Shanghai for so many years, he naturally knew the topography and environment of Shanghai, Shanghai itself is an impact plain, there are no mountains and no stones, and the water will come out when you hit it one or two meters deep underground, and the army will be soaked in water, how can he fight?

Chen Xuan was taken aback when he didn't expect to see the rudimentary form of defense marked on the sand table, Ai Zhongqi did not dig trenches, but used reinforced concrete to build tall concrete fortifications in Hujiadi, which became a hard bone.

"Where did he get so many building materials, can the Qing court give him so many materials?"

"This bastard is not particular, and he copied all our warehouses in Songjiang, Jiading, Suzhou, and these building materials are all ours."

Careless, there are really some cocoons and self-restraint now, as for what Du Yuesheng said, he is not particular,! It's all to the point of life and death, what else will you pay attention to?

Chen Xuan looked at Ai Zhongqi's fortifications again and again, but there was still no good way to break through quickly, and the operational staff officers put forward one suggestion after another, and they were overthrown one after another, and they couldn't think of any good way, did they really have to bite hard?

In fact, Chen Xuan's soldiers and horses are not much less than Ai Zhongqi's, but his own troops have no actual combat experience, and even he, the commander-in-chief, has participated in several crackdowns on bandits, and they are all soft persimmons.

Don't worry about it for now, let's take it one step at a time, and wait for more information to arrive.

Chen Xuan summoned the officers above the regimental level to discuss for another afternoon, but there was still no good way, so he could only talk about it when he got to the place, and after the order to open the order was issued, Chen Xuan fell into contemplation again.

If you don't pull out this nail, occupying other places can only be to disperse your own forces and give Ai Zhongqi a chance to break through, and I don't know how many casualties will have to pay, and the price is not lower than that of Hu Jiadi.

Early the next morning, the troops were deployed.

Looking down from the heights, the marching formation of the revolutionary army resembles a giant crab, and the two regiments of the instructor walk from both sides, Chen Xuan and the guard regiment and the recruits recruited in Jiaxing advance as the Chinese army.

Jiaxing to Songjiang is only more than 100 kilometers, but since there is no danger in Pudong, Chen Xuan does not plan to march in a hurry, the troops march more than 30 kilometers a day and stop, the rest of the time is to train the troops, summarize and rectify the problems that arise in the process of marching.

On the afternoon of the third day, the scouts of the two armies had begun to contact and strangle, Chen Xuan set up camp ten miles outside Hujiadi Town, and various news kept coming from the front, it seemed that Ai Zhongqi was not going to take the initiative to attack.

Chen Xuan set up a large camp, and was not in a hurry to attack, and continued to start training, now the domestic revolution is full of smoke, and Shanghai is not in danger, Chen Xuan does not believe that Ai Zhongqi is not in a hurry, nor does he believe that the Manchu Qing ** does not put pressure on him, see who can consume whom.

Chen Xuan's side began a vigorous military training, Ai Zhongqi was uncomfortable, let's go in, the fortifications he worked so hard to build were in vain, stay behind, the Zhejiang Revolutionary Army didn't care about himself at all, but all over the country under the bewitchment of the Baath Party or the League have been electrified to support the revolution, if there is no decent record, I am afraid that I will become a lone army.

Songjiang Prefecture is also not calm, there are people on the streets at two ends in three days, and it cannot be suppressed in too drastic ways, arousing the anger of the people, and it will be over, not to mention that he does not know how many revolutionary parties he has under his command.

"This little red guy, why is he so shameless, Lao Tzu waited for him here for half a month, and finally came, but he stopped and didn't leave, damn, is he here to fight?"

Ai Zhongqi scolded in his own command headquarters and hated Chen Xuan's shameless behavior.

"Marshal, if you want me to say, let's not stay, just the rabble of the revolutionary party, we only need one target force and one charge to take him down."

One of his subordinates scolded and said.

"You don't want to be Lao Tzu, is his seven or eight thousand rabble enough for us to charge, but now the situation is unclear, and those outlaws of the revolutionary party are rebelling everywhere, so we have a little money, and we are gone, what can we do to quell the rebellion!"

"But it's not okay to confront each other like this, Dashuai, the imperial court has already come with two holy decrees, urging us to march as soon as possible, as long as we defeat Chen Xuan's little red guy's team, isn't Pudong and Hangzhou still decided?"

Ai Zhongqi pinched the little girl in his arms and patted her X shares, the little girl snorted a few times, got up from Ai Zhongqi's arms, and went to the backyard.

Ai Zhongqi touched his big bald head and walked around the lobby, his eyebrows frowning even more.

"Dashuai, Chen Xuan has divided his troops, and about 3,000 people are going to Kunshan, which should be the back road for you!"

"Haha, I know that this little red guy can't hold his breath, only seven or eight thousand people still dare to divide the troops, pass the order, closely monitor the movements of this man and horse, and prepare for it, as long as this man and horse go out of 30 miles, they will attack the rebellion!"

"Huh!"

The officer in the lobby stood up and agreed.

On October 30, according to the scout's report, Chen Xuan's origami team had arrived in Qingpu and was already Chen Xuan's base camp.

Ai Zhongqi no longer hesitated, leaving one battalion to garrison the base camp, and the other teams all set off.

Raising the telescope imported from Germany, Ai Zhongqi cracked his mouth and smiled, the rebels shouted and shouted in a chaotic manner, obviously frightened by the menacing officers and soldiers, two rounds of artillery shelling, the rebels seemed to have a few small cannons, but they were not accurate, the shells did not know where to fly, and the rebels who were running around also disappeared, I was afraid that they were hiding in the trenches and shivering, these dirt buns, how could they have seen such a battle!

The command knife in Ai Zhongqi's hand waved down majestically, and the officers and soldiers shouted, carrying rifles and rushing forward desperately, the mountains were full of soldiers, and the rebels did not react at all, and the sound of the artillery that returned fire was gone, and I don't know if it was destroyed.

The two armies were 200 meters, 150 meters, 100 meters apart, and the rebels still did not react at all.

Ai Zhongqi's intuition was a little wrong, but the army had already launched a charge, and it was not to stop if he wanted to.

80 meters, there was still no movement, Ai Zhongqi involuntarily clenched his fists, and his nails sank into the flesh.

Something is wrong, something must be wrong, even if the rebels suffer heavy casualties, they will not all die!

50 meters!

Ai Zhongqi suddenly felt that the earth was shaking, and there was a deafening sound of cannonballs, countless shells smashed into the crowd of officers and soldiers who were charging, and the sound of the explosion instantly tore apart the bodies of the officers and soldiers, and the charge was soaking wet, Ai Zhongqi's eyes were black, where is this movement that a few small cannons can make!

However, the rebels did not give the officers and men a chance to react, more than 100 Makqin machine guns rang out at the same time, the officers and soldiers fell to the ground like cutting wheat, 30 meters became a line of death, the fish that slipped through the net under the machine gun fire could not escape the rifle shot, and piles of officers and soldiers fell on the way to charge, but they did not even see the shadow of the rebels.

"This! This! Shameless, with so much heavy firepower, they still dare not attack our position, Chen Xuan! You shameless villain! ”

Chen Xuan couldn't hear Ai Zhongqi's scolding, seeing that the Qing soldiers were beaten all at once, and countless people began to flee, where would Chen Xuan be polite, with a wave of his white gloves, the charge horn sounded on the position, and the soldiers in camouflage uniforms all over the mountains rushed into the fleeing ranks of officers and soldiers under the leadership of the officer.

The officers and soldiers were not willing to fail, and after stabilizing their positions, they began to fight with the Zhejiang army, the battle became more and more tragic, and the soldiers in camouflage uniforms continued to fall, Chen Xuan knew that he was careless, in terms of stabbing technology, the newcomers under his command were not the opponents of the officers and soldiers of the old birds.

"Jiang Zhongqi!"

"Here!"

"Bring your pistol squad and break up the assembled officers and soldiers!"

"But instructor, my mission is to keep you safe!"

"Execute the order!"

Chen Xuan's eyes staring at Jiang Zhongqi were about to erupt into flames, and Jiang Zhongqi didn't dare to insist.

Jiang Zhongqi shouted, and more than 100 soldiers with two guns rushed into the battlefield like wolves。。。。。。
