Time flies, and it's May in the blink of an eye. Before that www.biquge.info Bai Lang's independent brigade was formally established in Xuzhou, and then put into rigorous military training. Shan Feng returned from the capital and brought the first batch of standard rifles produced by the secret arsenal from Jinan - Lu style 1913. The first batch of 5,000 rifles was delivered to Xuzhou, where it was first equipped with the new 5th Brigade and the Independent Brigade.

In the Xuzhou Provisional Governor's Mansion, it was very lively. Ge Yunfei picked up a new rifle in the box, examined it carefully, and smiled with satisfaction on his face. "Overseer, the special protection team of Song Jiaoren has been closely investigated, and no suspicious person has been found, for some reason, we tried to announce the news through the Beijing Police Department and the media, but it seems that there is no result in the sea, will we still pursue this mysterious case?" Ge Yunfei put down his rifle and said, "There is no need to track down, the next step is to protect Song Jiaoren with all my might." ”

At this time, Bai Yong walked in in full of vigor and said: "Report to the overseer, subordinates come to report, please instruct!" "Captain Bai, let me introduce you, this is my intelligence chief Shan Feng!" "Xiaguan meets Master Shan!" "Jiuyang, Captain Bai!" "Captain Bai, this is a new rifle imported from Germany, your department is equipped with 1,000 rifles, and you will send someone to collect it immediately." "Subordinates obey!" Bai Yong was overjoyed, and his eyebrows danced happily. Looking at Bai Yong's departing back, Shan Feng said gloomily: "Overseer, this person is not good-looking, why do you value him so much?" ”

"Don't look at Bai Yong's appearance, but he is a good guerrilla fighter, he will surprise you and me. In the future, when we fight against Japan, we must have a strong guerrilla army. "Does this kid really have this ability?" "Shan Feng, you know I like to gamble on fate, let's wait and see!" "Overseer, the media in the capital reported that you strangled Bai Lang, causing an attack from the Southern Revolutionary Party, saying that you acted as Yuan Shikai's eagle dog." "What should come will come, it's just an excuse. At present, Yuan Shikai sent the 6th Division Li Chunbu into Jiangxi, and a major battle was inevitable. “

"Overseer, you have to take the opportunity to implement the Anhui plan!" "Anhui overseer Bai Wenwei openly accused me, indicating that he was in collusion with the south, and I have telegraphed Yuan Shikai to ask for an attack. You immediately set off to Hefei to find out the situation of Leng Jun and Hu Wantai's troops? "Overseer, you want to eat Leng Jun and Hu Wantai." At present, the situation was turbulent, and Yuan Shikai ordered the dismissal of Li Liejun, the governor of Jiangxi, Bai Wenwei, the governor of Anhui, and Hu Hanmin, the governor of Guangdong. The outside world commented that this might provoke contradictions, but the governors of the three provinces did not move. ”

Ge Yunfei continued: "At present, the situation in Hubei is turbulent, and there are many assassination groups. Yuan Shikai ordered Li Yuanhong to concurrently serve as the governor of Jiangxi, but Jiangxi was in danger, and Li Yuanhong was inconvenient to go out of Hubei, so he sent his subordinates to sort out Jiangxi's military and political affairs. It was difficult for his subordinates to control the situation in Jiangxi, and Li Chun's division of the Sixth Division went north into Jiangxi, and I judged that Li Liejun must have rebelled and formed a chain reaction. The time is ripe for us to plot against Anhui. ”

Less than 10 days after Shan Feng left Xuzhou, the news of Li Liejun's rebellion came, and Jiangxi declared independence. Then, Chen Qimei, the overseer of Shanghai, and Chen Jiongming, the governor of Guangdong, responded to the call of the revolutionary party and declared independence against Yuan respectively. Anhui Governor Bai Wenwei also took the opportunity to respond, and the tide of anti-Yuan surged.

As expected, Ge Yunfei received an order from Yuan Shikai ordering him to quickly go south to quell the rebellion. In order to suppress the rebels, Yuan Shikai divided into three routes, one route was to go south by the Jinghan Railway, one route was to go south by Ge Yunfei, and the other route was to send warships to Shanghai by sea. Ge Yunfei was overjoyed when he received the order, and immediately called a meeting of the generals. "Ladies and gentlemen, President Yuan ordered our department to quickly send troops to quell the rebellion, Jiang Fangzhen!" "Here!" "You led the 5th Brigade to quickly seize Yangzhou and threaten Nanjing." "Subordinates obey!"

"Wen Biao!" "Here!" "Immediately gather troops to go with me!" "Subordinates obey!" "Bai Yong!" "Here!" "Your department is stationed in Xuzhou, there must be no mistake!" "Subordinates obey orders." At present, the 5th Brigade has been reorganized, with a total strength of 4,500 troops in 4 regiments. The soldiers were fast, and Ge Yunfei and Jiang Fangzhen respectively led their men and horses south. Ge Yunfei has money in his hands, and he does not need to carry a large amount of grain and grass when he goes out, he can use money to buy grain and grass whenever he goes to a place, and he can only carry weapons and ammunition when he goes out, which creates conditions for the troops to move and fight.

Ge Yunfei strictly ordered his subordinates not to disturb the people, and took advantage of the opportunity to quell the rebellion to show the reputation of his subordinate as a civilized and mighty division. The troops entered the territory of Anhui in a mighty way, and the troops pointed directly at Bengbu. During the march, Wen Biao asked: "Overseer, your intention is to break through each one, first eat the Leng Jun Division, and then eat the Hu Wantai Division. "Not only that, but our troops must go all the way to the south, and then cross the Yangtze River and attack Nanjing from the west."

"Overseer, are we too few troops for such a large-scale operation!" "As I said, it's not about the much, it's about the fine, and the so-called rebellion is purely out of profit, and it can't be a windfall by taking advantage of the chaos." "What the Overseer said is that the Huai Army's combat effectiveness is extremely bad and cannot be an opponent."

"Report, the forward unit has encountered our intelligence officers." A subordinate rode a horse to report it. "Bring him here!" Soon, a man in his 30s appeared in front of him, and he saw Ge Yunfei kneeling on one leg to salute, claiming to be the head of the Bengbu Intelligence Station.

Lai Dao: "Report to the Overseer, and receive an order from Director Shan to report on the situation in Bengbu?" "What's the situation in Bengbu now?" "Back to the overseers, Bengbu is very chaotic nowadays, the cold soldiers use anti-Yuan slogans to collect money and grain, many soldiers take the opportunity to loot shops, and the people in the city are full of complaints." "Wen Biao, you send a platoon to sneak into the city first, and tomorrow morning, when our army is approaching the city, quickly seize the city gate and cooperate with the army to attack the city."

That night, the troops camped about 10 kilometers from Bengbu City. Ge Yunfei arranged tomorrow's combat mission and said: "Wen Biao, at midnight, you led the 62nd, 63rd, and 63rd regiments to set off first, and set up an ambush on the south side of Bengbu City. "Overseer, are you leading a regiment to attack the city, are you too few troops?" "Not a lot, my purpose is to drive Leng Jun out of the city, and you will annihilate it in one fell swoop in the wilderness." Will Leng Jun be obedient? "He wouldn't have thought that we would be so fast that he would flee as soon as the gates were breached. Remember, this person can't stay alive. ”

There is no need to repeat the battle, at noon the next day, Wen Biao escorted a batch of prisoners of war into the city. When the soldiers approached the city, the mayor of Bengbu took the lead in escaping, and Bengbu is now in a state of anarchy. In front of the city hall, seized looted finances piled up. Notices have been put up for the public to claim. At first, the citizens were a little scared, but when they saw that some people were claiming their belongings and were safe, they began to enthusiast.

It took a whole afternoon for the lively scene to come to an end. During this period, Ge Yunfei met with people from all walks of life and informed Leng Jun that he had been suppressed, reassured the people not to panic, and the counterinsurgency army would not disturb the people. Facts speak louder than words, Ge Yunfei's military discipline is strict, and Qiu has not committed any crimes. In order to increase his influence, the next day in front of the city government, Ge Yunfei ordered to shoot more than 200 heinous rebels in one go, and almost all the officers of the 3rd Division were killed.

This move is very satisfying, which shows how bad the image of the Leng Jun Department is in the local area. "The Overseer, when he fled coldly, carried 2,000,000 silver dollars in silver tickets, and 800,000 silver dollars in gold, silver, and jewelry. In addition, the total wealth of the officers under Leng Jun amounted to 1.2 million silver dollars. "All of them will be confiscated and temporarily used as our military expenses for this expedition." "After investigation yesterday, Leng Jun and his subordinate officers have a large number of properties in the city." "Except for the house where their families live, the rest of the properties will be confiscated."

"Overseers, there are about 3,500 captured soldiers, what to do with them?" Wen Biao was a little troubled. "Now is the right time to expand the army, the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the old ones will be selected to form a logistics unit, and the other soldiers will be organized into two regiments under your command." "Yes!" Wen Biao was overjoyed when he heard this.

3 days later, Ge Yunfei handed over the defense of Bengbu to the local police station and led the army straight to Hefei. After eating the Lengjun 3rd Division in Bengbu, Ge Yunfei's biggest gain was to rapidly expand the army, and the 4th Brigade changed from 4 regiments to 6 regiments.

The army approached Hefei, and officials of all sizes along the way expressed their allegiance to President Yuan. Ge Yunfei rode on the horse, his handsome face flushed black and red, adding a heroic spirit. The strangulation of the Leng Jun Department has gained a lot, and the income is guaranteed without loss, which makes him feel very good. "Report to the Overseer, Intelligence Chief Shan Feng has come to answer." After the subordinates finished reporting, they saw Shan Feng arrive with several subordinate Pegasus. Ge Yunfei was a little surprised and asked, "What's the situation in Hefei?" ”

Shan Feng said with a smile: "Governor Bai Wenwei and Hu Wantai learned that the overseer soldiers were pressing the border and fled when they heard the wind, and there was no soldier in Hefei. "How's the situation with Chief of Staff Chiang?" "News came from my people that the chief of staff has led his troops to capture Yangzhou and form a high-pressure situation against Nanjing." The army arrived in Hefei to rest for a few days, and then went straight to Wuhu. At this time, Feng Guozhang led his troops to capture Hukou and go up the river. Bai Wenwei saw that the general trend had gone, like a lost dog, he fled to Shanghai by boat in Wuhu. ”

Feng Guozhang led his troops to kill along the river, and Hu Wantai faced a two-way army, and chose to surrender to Ge Yunfei in a hurry. Ge Yunfei led his troops to cross the Yangtze River smoothly and occupied Wuhu first. On this day, Feng Guozhang led his troops to Wuhu, and at the same time, Lei Zhenchun, the envoy of the Henan Protectorate, also led his troops to Wuhu by boat. The three armies met in Wuhu, and Yuan Shikai appointed Feng Guozhang as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and then formulated a battle plan to capture Nanjing. The plan was: Lei Zhenchun entered Nanjing by water and contained the Nanjing rebels.

In early June, Ge Yunfei led his troops to attack Nanjing City from the southwest along the Yangtze River, and Feng Guozhang led the main force of the First Army to attack from the direction of Jiangning. The 8th Division of the uprising, led by He Haiming, a revolutionary, held on to the embattled Nanjing, and vowed to live and die with Nanjing. Ge Yunfei led his troops to make rapid progress, and a few days later, his troops came to the city of Nanjing.
