Guichi in southern Anhui, the capital city of Chizhou in the lower reaches of Anqing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Within a year of the withdrawal of large forces from Jiangnan by the Fu Han army, the Manchus had regained their rule in southern Anhui. So now the Fu Han army, which has gone east for the second time, wants to completely sweep the Yangtze River and turn the Yangtze River into its own swimming pool, in addition to taking the estuary of the Yangtze River, the north and south areas of the river in the interval from Anqing to Nanjing will naturally have to be swept again, and it will be fought again in southern Anhui!

More than a dozen warships are bombarding the Qing army camp in Chikou Town, and the Qing army camp and many fortifications have been beaten to the ground.

The vanguard of the 1st Garrison Division, which followed the ships behind, was always ready to land and sweep.

"Everybody's listened to me. This is the first battle in which the 1st Garrison Division came down to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the first battle after our 1st Battalion left Henan. Dare to drop the chain for me, military law is ruthless! Wei Baocheng shouted loudly at the officers under him.

In response to him in the cabin, he was greeted by the high-pitched roars of his officers.

The vanguard of the first garrison division, as the first battalion of the vanguard battalion in the vanguard unit, does not need to say much about the significance of the first battle, these two battles in the south of the Yangtze River, but the original expeditionary force and the base area troops were mixed, the former did not need to prove anything, and the latter had to prove in front of the former that he was just as daring to fight.

"Rush, ......"

One after another warships rushed towards the wharf of Chikou Town, the artillery fort arranged by the Qing army in Chikou had been completely damaged, and one after another the warships crossed to the wharf, and the soldiers of the first battalion rushed out like a whirlwind, without encountering the slightest obstruction from the Qing army.

"Go to Guichi, go to Guichi......"

Wei Baocheng stood on the dock and shouted, the Qing army and people in Chikou Town have been scattered by the cannons of the Sailor Battalion, if they only occupy Chikou Town and sweep away some remnants of the Qing Army under the cannons of the Sailor Battalion, then the first battalion is a fart credit. Wei Baocheng felt that he could go directly to hit Guichi, anyway, the task of their vanguard was to attack Guichi instead of Chikou Town.

"Cannonballs, bring enough flowering shells." The voice of the battalion logistics director reached Wei Baocheng's ears at the right time. Wei Baocheng smiled with satisfaction, of course you have to bring enough shells to fight Guichi. Anyway, it's still a city, and they only have one battalion of troops.

On February 12, Chen Ming, who was stationed in Pengze, received a good news from Chen Erbao from Anqing, saying that the vanguard troops had taken Chizhou and were now attacking Tongling! Looking at the names of the officers of the first meritorious unit, Wei Baocheng and Chen Ming are impressed. When the first batch of medals came out that year, this person was the recipient of the first batch of silver military merit medals. At that time, Wei Baocheng and another Chen family disciple named Chen Jincai were most impressed by Chen Ming. It's just that in the later battles, Chen Jincai, who had the title of white-knuckle assault soldier, finally folded in the battle formation, but Wei Baocheng walked step by step to the position of the current commander of the first battalion of the first garrison division.

"Hmm......" Chen Ming remembered that Wei Baocheng was part of the Fifth Division of Xiangxian County, and now he was transferred to the First Garrison Division.

"Come, tell the troops to speed up. At fifteen o'clock, everyone must rush to Anqing. ”

The vanguard army's attack on Chizhou is a one-hit blow, so Tongling will not be much better than Chizhou, right? Southern Anhui is not northern Anhui, don't look at the mountains and hills in that place, but the people there are rich. The wealth of Anhui is in the north of the Yangtze River and in the south of Anhui.

Chen Ming had a very fixed concept in his mind -- the poorer the place, the stronger the army, and the richer the place, the easier it was to fight. Because now is not a hundred years later, there is a big bug of foreigners on the heads of all Chinese, as long as there is money, guns and gunpowder can be sold.

Since the sixth day of February, the Fu Han army sent troops to Wuchang, and it is now the sixth day, and it is progressing smoothly, and the first battle in Chizhou is also unexpectedly easy.

"Tell all the departments that the vanguard of our army's front army fell down to the capital city of Chizhou with one blow, and the Qing army was frightened and vulnerable."

The Yangtze River is no better than the land road, tens of thousands of horses and horses dragged back and forth for hundreds of miles, it is very necessary to announce the good news of the front army on the way of the rear army and the Chinese army, so as to boost morale. Chen Ming did this last time, and this time he will only do better than last time.

On the 11th, the vanguard of the former army conquered Chizhou, and when the first victory report reached Chen Ming on the 12th, the vanguard captured Tongling that night. The Qing soldiers in Tongling did not set up camp and build a fortress by the river, but the vanguard troops directly rushed to the city under the cover of mortar artillery, and successfully took the city head in two attacks, and the leader of the troops was still Wei Baocheng. The Qing army's one or two thousand defenders of the city were defeated and defeated, and more than 1,000 people surrendered in the city alone.

On the 14th, the state of Wuwei was captured. At this time, Chen Ming had already left Anqing and headed towards Guichi. Then on the 17th, he received a good news from Chen Erbao from Wuhu Lugang -- the vanguard of the 1st Garrison Division had successfully captured Wuhu, annihilating and capturing more than 4,000 Qing soldiers, and Zheng Zhe of the Manchu and Southern Anhui Provinces was captured.

The army sent troops in Wuchang on the sixth day of the first month, and it was only eleven days, and there was only one Hezhou left from Nanjing, and the speed of travel was completely no different from that of a direct ship. The Qing soldiers who blinded the 10,000 people in southern Anhui.

"This time, the deputy governor of the left has shown a big face." Chen Wenzan shook his head and sighed at Chen Erbao's good luck, the army was rampant, set off from Anqing, and swept Chizhou, Tongling, Wuwei, Wuhu and other state capitals in a few days, leaving one Hezhou is obviously not the opponent of the first garrison division, Chen Erbao, the former commander-in-chief of the army, showed his face.

As the Fourth Division, which is in a similar situation to the First Garrison Division, Chen Wenzan also wants to show his face and show the prestige of his Fourth Division. He and Gao Jinghui, who was guarding the second division, did not shy away from Chen Ming's envious expression.

On the afternoon of the 18th, the vanguard of the 1st Garrison Division arrived outside the city of Hezhou, and without resting, immediately made preparations for the siege. As a result, the defenders of the Qing army in Hezhou dispersed in a hurry, and even let Wei Baocheng, who took the lead, and the first battalion made meritorious contributions and won the city of Hezhou in one fell swoop. Afterwards, after questioning the prisoners and local officials, I learned that the governor of Hezhou ran away when the Fu Han army arrived, and it is no wonder that the Qing soldiers of Hezhou did not even resist.

In this way, at dusk on the 20th, Chen Erbao arrived outside Nanjing with all the vanguard army of water and land.

This speed amazed Chen Ming behind him, and surprised Huang Jie in Nanjing City, it was indeed a bit fast. And the Qing army was even more caught off guard.

The setting sun in the west splashed its last rays, and the bright red sunlight dyed the clouds on the horizon. The gorgeous sunset reflects the red on the vast river, like the red silk cut by the fairy, decorating the river surface extraordinarily beautifully.

Pan Mancang stood at the bow of the ship, looking at Nanjing City under the sunset, his mouth opened uncontrollably, "Nanjing is so big!" ”

He first thought that the city of Nanyang was the most majestic, but when he arrived in Xiangyang, he realized that Nanyang City was really nothing, and from Xiangyang to Wuchang, Pan Mancang clearly realized for the first time in his heart what is the provincial city, what is the capital city, and what is the county seat.

With the shock of Wuchang City, Jiujiang, Anqing, Chizhou, Wuhu, etc. are also average. Until this moment, looking at the Nanjing City in front of me, it seems that a demon from the mythical world is lying on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the majestic and vast Wuchang City is just a local dog on the leg of the Qianniu compared to it.

"This is Nanjing. The capital of the Ming Dynasty when it was founded, how could it not be big? ”

"In this world, except for the city of Beijing, there is no city that can compare here."

Pan Mancang is now a platoon commander, he is not yet seventeen years old, he walked out of the boy boy camp with the third place in the same class of the boy scouts, did not go to the cadre school, but after being a soldier in the previous guard left battalion for two months, with Chen Ming's killing, the reorganization of the Han army, he came to the first garrison division as a platoon commander.

At first, his soldiers looked at Pan Mancang's young age, did not listen to orders, ignored his majesty, and were brought to the training ground by Pan Mancang one after another to fight bayonets, relying on his hard skills, he recovered everyone under his command in less than ten days.

Pan Mancang's team officer is a Baofeng man, who is in his early thirties, but his face is old enough to be Pan Mancang's father. Before joining the Fu Han Army, he dug coal for people in the Baofeng private mine. I like Pan Mancang, a junior who has the ability and momentum.

"When His Highness hit Nanjing City, I didn't catch up; When His Highness hits Beijing City, I will be the first to rush in! ”

The young Pan Mancang's eyes flashed with blazing flames, and the team officer smiled silently when he saw it in his eyes. This is a young man, with momentum!

On the Xiaguan wharf, Huang Jie, who greeted Chen Erbao, could no longer see a trace of sadness on his face, just like the blazing flames flickering in the eyes of young Pan Mancang, Huang Jie, who was full of red light, also had a soaring flame boiling in his chest at this moment, because their reinforcements had arrived. Chen Ming brought 50,000 troops, armed with sharp weapons, and his murderous intent was spontaneous, but it was not a joke, and the officers and soldiers of the Third Division behind Huang Jie exuded a strong murderous aura.

The murderous aura that rushed to the sky gathered in the sky above Nanjing, forming two huge and huge characters - counterattack! Only an attack, a ferocious and ferocious attack, could allow the 3rd Division to vent the flames that had been building up in its heart for many days.

"The First Garrison Division should stop in Nanjing for a few days now, and take a break. But the sailors won't stop, can your third division start fighting immediately? ”

"Uncle Erbao, my third division will be able to fight immediately. You take the first garrison division to defend Nanjing, and I will send troops tomorrow! ”

After receiving the wind and washing the dust, Chen Erbao and Huang Jie formally discussed his next battle. Chen Ming gave Chen Erbao, the commander-in-chief of the former army, a great deal of autonomy, and after he arrived in Nanjing, he automatically obtained the command of the Third Division.

It's just that the general policy Chen Ming has set. The Fu Han army came to Jiangnan this time, not defensively, but in battle, and took the initiative to attack. It is necessary to show a sense of confidence, and whether it is a navy or army, it is necessary to show a scorching momentum.

"So we're going to start fighting right away, and we're going to hit and slam into it, and we're going to show a lot of energy. Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger first. Chen Erbao's finger was first pointed at Jiangyin, and then knocked on Danyang and then Changzhou.

The Fu Han army came too quickly from Wuchang to Jiangnan, which was beyond Huang Jie's expectations, let alone the Qing army. At present, the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River is still a little dragged in Hangzhou, and the Fu Han army can still grab a small advantage by attacking immediately.

On the map of Jiangnan, Jiangyin is a point that the Fu Han army cannot bypass, whether it is a sailor or Lu Yong, the criticality of Jiangyin does not need to be said.

"If the Tartars pull all the soldiers and horses in their hands, you and I join forces, more than 30,000 people, and with a water division, then I am not afraid. Besides, His Royal Highness has already traveled to Tongling, will it be a long time from Tongling to Nanjing? ”

"You will lead the troops to Zhenjiang tomorrow, and the sailor will also go. Didn't you say that the Qing army's sailors directly pressed to Taipingzhou [Yangzhong City] by the Zhenjiang River, let the sailors go over, see what the Qing army's reaction was, and dare to be arrogant, then fight immediately. If the Qing army retreats to defense, you will see if you can fight. If you feel troublesome, put up with it for the time being. In three or four days at most, the first garrison division will arrive at Zhenjiang......"

As the vanguard of the Qing army's oppression of the area controlled by the Third Division, Danyang south of Zhenjiang and Changzhou behind Danyang, the Qing army had heavy troops. And the Qing army's sailor Zhenjiang on the edge of the Taiping Continent as his own territory.

On 21 February, Huang Jie led the 3rd Division in Nanjing to Zhenjiang with the Naval Division, and the next day the troops entered Danyang...... (To be continued.) )
