By the morning of the next day, the offensive of the seven regiments of the Taiwan Division had to be suspended and a short rest was chosen, and the two sides fell into a certain calm in their respective positions.

However, both sides know in their hearts that the next round of offensive will come soon, and Kaohsiung is the strategic center of gravity that neither the Taiwan division nor the revolutionary army can give up, whether it is Zhang Zuolin or Xu Huaijin in Beijing, they cannot accept the consequences and costs of losing Kaohsiung!

Yang Yonglin sent three telegrams to Beijing in a row, urging the General Staff to mobilize reinforcements to the south as soon as possible, and according to the current situation, even if there is a navy to help the war, Kaohsiung, without follow-up supply, will never be able to block the next Taiwan division's all-out attack, with the current situation, Zhang Zuolin is simply giving up his life, seven regiments, this is almost all his old capital of Taiwan's first division, and the remaining two regiments still need to guard Taipei's nest, and the rest of Taiwan is now on the verge of getting out of control. For a Kaohsiung, Zhang Zuolin also paid a heavy price!

Beijing, now Duan Qirui and Ling Chuanqing's heads are about to explode, as soon as Xu Huaijin fell, the two of them knew how much pressure Xu Huaijin usually carried alone, and the two of them knew why Wu Peifu had only acted as the chief of the General Staff for more than two months, so he said nothing and didn't do anything, but everyone knows Wu Peifu's famous words - I'd rather go down to be a battalion commander, and Lao Tzu will never enter the General Staff again!

In just a few days, the two of them have already been disfigured, Ling Chuanqing has tried to enter the hospital several times and asked Xu Huaijin for help, but they were all stopped by Duan Qirui, and now he still bothers the chief, then the chief is really not far from death, if Xu Huaijin wants to do something now, don't say that the president will not let them two go, even Zhang Yihu and Bagen will definitely not spare the two of them. [Lots of good]

After receiving the telegram from Taiwan asking for help, the two of them were relatively speechless, and after a while, Ling Chuanqing said: "Zhiquan, now that Jiang Baili's first division has moved, if we don't speed up, Taiwan will really not be able to hold it......"

Duan Qirui smiled bitterly: "Chuanqing, I'm also anxious now, but you also have to know that we need to urgently deploy troop carriers!" Most of our troop carriers have already gone to Taiwan, but the first division is our heavy division, and the strength has reached 20,000 people! This is not comparable to the ordinary main division, and we simply don't have enough troop carriers at hand! ”

Ling Chuanqing hurriedly said: "If it is not enough, then ****** requisition of large merchant ships, that is, to rob them, and to give Lao Tzu to gather troop carriers within one day, all the troops and equipment of the first division must be driven to Kaohsiung, we can't wait!" ”

Duan Qirui smiled bitterly, the original time had been planned very clearly, Xu Huaijin's attitude towards doing things was very rigorous, but this Zhang Zuolin suddenly turned against the water and 'messed up' the original strict plan, the first division could not go to the Qinhuai River, similarly, the troop carrier was still left near Taiwan, the first division wanted to go to Taiwan, how could it be achieved in a short time?

Duan Qirui smiled bitterly: "Robbing merchant ships, you dare to think about this, if the prime minister and the president know about it, they won't skin you?" ”

Ling Chuanqing roared: "It is to peel Lao Tzu's skin, then it will have to wait until after the war, as long as Taiwan is taken and South China is taken, it is Lao Tzu's skin, and Lao Tzu also admits it, now if we can't reverse the situation, then we can only wait for death, as long as Zhang Zuolin takes Kaohsiung, our fleet will be abolished." leg', in less than half a month, Zhang Zuolin will definitely wave his division westward, land in Fujian, and besiege our Seventh Division, even if the situation of the Seventh Division is very unfavorable now, if you add the Taiwan Division, the Seventh Division will die! ”

At this time, Zhang Ting walked over and said, "Commander Ling, Deputy Chief Duan, just now General Xu called me and asked me to inform you to immediately give an order to the First Division, be sure to leave Tianjin and rush to Kaohsiung Port before noon today!" ”

Ling Chuanqing roared: "Nonsense, Lao Tzu still wants to let the first division go on the expedition now, ******, our troop carriers are not enough, how can we go?" ”

Zhang Ting's face turned red, and he said: "Commander Ling, the chief has already told me, now Chief Liu Buyun must have let the troop carrier go north, since the chief commander called Chief Liu Buyun to now, a day and a night have passed, I am afraid that the troop carriers have already passed Qingdao, we must make the first division ready!" ”

Ling Chuanqing looked at Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui looked at Ling Chuanqing, he didn't expect that Xu Huaijin could still consider things so delicately when he was sick, but looking at the two of them, they were completely 'messed up'!

Zhang Ting continued: "Two, the chief also asked me to relay a sentence to the two of you. ”

Ling Chuanqing said impatiently: "Say, if there is a fart, let it go!" ”

Zhang Ting replied: "The chief said, every major event has a calm atmosphere, do not believe that there are no ancient sages today, you two must calm down, as long as you stabilize your mind, all difficulties are not to worry about!" ”

Ling Chuanqing and Duan Qirui took a deep breath, this was the chief secretary teaching the two of them a lesson, even if he was not around, he had already felt the panic of the two of them.

Ling Chuanqing muttered: "Big brother, don't worry, Lao Tzu will definitely stabilize his mind and not let you bother!" ”

Ling Chuanqing shouted: "Immediately send a telegram to Jiang Baili, ordering him to complete all preparations before eight o'clock in the morning, and once the troop carrier arrives, it must leave Tianjin before noon and rush to Kaohsiung!" Delay the opportunity, military law engagement, no mercy! ”

Now Jiang Baili, without Ling Chuanqing's telegram, is also ready, after receiving Xu Huaijin's telegram, Jiang Baili has completely anticipated the following matters, one, Jiang Baili is resourceful, originally has the style of a Confucian general, two, he did not stand in the position of Ling and Duan, the so-called bystander Qing, Jiang Baili saw more thoroughly in Tianjin!

Jiang Baili began to make military preparations at the first time, and all the ammunition and equipment were transported to the military port wharf, and even directly loaded the remaining troop carriers and merchant ships, but there was no extra fleet here to transport the 20,000 troops. This is 20,000 people, and it is not something that can be done by a few civilian ships.

Jiang Baili stood on top of the military port, his face expressionless, and now, it was about to be the time for him Jiang Baili to be alone, and if he didn't play a 'fine' world, he would even be sorry.

While Jiang Baili was pondering, Long Tinghai, chief of staff of the First Division, shouted: "Division commander, look, the ship, there is a ship coming from afar!" Say
