The capture of Liujiamiao Railway Station did not mean that it was complete, and it completely turned the tide of the war across the country. On the contrary, the real game is just beginning.

Therefore, just after the battle of Liujiamiao, Wang Mo did not let the various units of the Sichuan Army rest and recuperate, and immediately ordered a new military deployment: "Lu Dayong, you immediately lead the first regiment of the second division and the artillery regiment to take the train north to Wusheng Pass, and you must seize Wusheng Pass as quickly as possible and block the road of the northern army to the south." Now stationed in Wusheng Pass is the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Hubei Army, for them, whether to defeat, annihilate or force to surrender, you can decide on the spot. I just want you to seize Wusheng Pass as fast as possible, don't you understand? ”

"Understood!" Lu Dayong came out of the ranks and responded to the order.

As long as there is a regiment of the second division blocking Wusheng Pass, and an artillery regiment with 100 artillery pieces is in charge, even the third division, the most elite of the Beiyang Army, will definitely not be frightened when it goes south.

Lu Dayong has a steady temperament, he is in charge of the military operation in the north to Wusheng Pass, Wang Mo is still relatively relieved, nodded and continued to order: "Commander Ge, you will lead the first division and the third regiment to Hanyang to control the Hanyang Arsenal, and then divide the troops across the river to control Wuchang." ”

"Yes!" Ge Changchun came out to receive the order.

Although there was only one regiment of troops to control Hanyang and Wuchang, Ge Changchun did not have much pressure, because at this time, the military and armed forces of the entire three towns of Wuhan could be said to have been almost lost, and the remaining police and tax soldiers could not pose a threat at all.

"Li Xudong, you immediately arrange for the artillery of the First Division Artillery Regiment to control the Hanyang Guishan Battery, and arrange for a part of the artillery to go to Jiujiang to control the Jiangfang Battery, and block and control the Yangtze River waterway!"

"Yes!" Li Xudong came out to receive the order.

"The rest of the ministries!"

At this time, all the officers of the Sichuan army "snapped" and listened to the order.

"Follow me to Wuxue and Jiujiang immediately to set up defenses, and completely block the retreat of the 2nd and 6th Divisions of the Beiyang Army that entered Jiangxi to fight!" Wang Mo finally gave an order.

"Yes!"

All the officers of the Sichuan army responded in unison.

……

Beijing, Iron Lion Hutong, Presidential Palace.

Syllable!

A delicate and expensive Jingdezhen official kiln white porcelain teacup is too intimate with the masonry on the ground. In an instant, his body was shattered, and the tea splashed on the ground.

"This is the Tu Turtle Chuan Army that you sneered at one by one and didn't pay attention to it at all? Can the Tujiaochuan Army annihilate the 2nd Mixed Brigade and the two divisions of the Hubei Army and cut off the Jinghan line? Am I blind, or are you all blind? Yuan Shikai pointed to the noses of the senior officers of the Beiyang Army who were in the room and scolded a bloody dog, and he scolded for half an hour without losing his breath.

No one dared to gnaw on a room full of senior officers of the Beiyang Army. Not only because no one dared to anger Yuan Shikai at this time, but the vast majority of people did not feel that the president was wrong. They are indeed blind, otherwise how could they treat such a powerful Sichuan army as a cannon fodder unit like tofu scum?

"The president is angry, and the top priority is to find a way to deal with it." Yang Du persuaded him.

Hearing Yang Du's persuasion, Yuan Shikai angrily glanced at the senior officers of the Beiyang Army who were silent, sat back on the main seat, and then said: "Since this is the case, then you all talk about how to deal with it now." in order to deal with the Sichuan army! ”

A group of Beiyang officers and generals looked at each other, and they really didn't know how to answer. Immediately send troops south? Not to mention whether they can win the Sichuan army, which is far stronger than they imagined, and even now it is too late to transfer troops, and far water can't save the near fire.

As soon as he saw the dazed appearance of these officers and generals, Yuan Shikai immediately became angry again, and scolded sharply: "What, are they all dumb? ”

At this time, Chen Eun stood up and said: "President, I'm afraid it's too late to transfer troops south at this time." Moreover, it is estimated that the Sichuan army will inevitably follow the Jinghan line to the north to block Wusheng Pass. I think that although the Sichuan army is very harmful in Hubei at present. But we can ignore them for the time being and concentrate on exterminating the Jiangxi Kuomintang with all our might. As long as the Kuomintang bandits are completely wiped out, and then the whole country is mobilized to encircle and suppress the Sichuan army, it will be easy to succeed in a war! ”

This strategy has been discussed and approved by everyone before. As long as the Kuomintang is swept away, not to mention a part of the Sichuan army that left Sichuan, it is the Sichuan army of the entire Sichuan. Beiyang, which can mobilize the strength of the whole country, wants to suppress them, isn't it still holding a handle?

However, when it came to this, Yuan Shikai was even more angry, slammed the table with a "snap", and scolded angrily: "Li Xiushan and Wang Zichun, those two incompetent wastes. So far, they haven't been able to completely wipe out Li Liejun's troops, what are they doing? The telegram told them that if they couldn't take Nanchang within two days and completely sweep Jiangxi, they wouldn't have to come back! ”

"President, no!" Yang Du objected on the spot, saying, "Now that the Jinghan Line has been cut off by the Sichuan Army, the 2nd and 6th Divisions will no longer be able to get ammunition supplies, and it is inappropriate to force them to strengthen the offensive at this time." If Li Liejun's troops cannot be annihilated after the ammunition is consumed, then the 2nd and 6th divisions are likely to be counterattacked by Li Liejun's troops and the whole army will be annihilated! ”

"Then, as previously discussed, let the Navy deliver ammunition supplies to the 2nd and 6th Divisions!" Yuan Shikai looked resolute, he really didn't want to give the Kuomintang another chance to resurrect, and then turned to Yang Shiqi and asked, "Xingcheng, during this time, you are responsible for contacting the ships of the navy, talk about the current situation of the navy, can they rush over to deliver ammunition supplies to the 2nd and 6th divisions?" ”

Since the last time Yang Shiqi proposed to use his own way to treat others and let naval warships attack the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to intercept the transportation team of the Sichuan army, so as to cut off the logistics supply line of the Sichuan army, Yuan Shikai ordered that he should be responsible for liaising with the navy ships for the time being.

Yang Shiqi replied: "President, yesterday afternoon, Vice Minister Tang Qianming led the 'Flying Eagle' and other ships to block and detain the transport fleet of the Sichuan Army in Jingzhou, and the 'Yingrui' and 'Zhaohe' ships under the command of Vice Admiral Zheng Rucheng do not have any combat missions in Shanghai at present. They can be redeployed to the 2nd and 6th Divisions to deliver ammunition supplies to the 2nd and 6th Divisions whenever the President needs them. ”

Yang Du frowned and said: "At this time, the Hanyang Guishan Fort and the Jiujiang River Defense Fort must have been occupied by the Sichuan army, in case the Sichuan army uses the fort to shell the ships of our navy, I am afraid it will be ......."

Yang Du didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant. The current Chinese navy is no longer the first navy in Asia, and it is more appropriate to call the navy a few gunboats that can only huddle in the rivers to show off their might.

Anyone who understands knows that with those weakly armored gunboats of the Navy. It simply could not withstand the intensive shelling of the battery.

At this time, Yang Shiqi said again: "President, I still have the same suggestion, you might as well ask foreign warships to come forward to assist the navy ships to pass through the blockade of Hanyang and Jiujiang Forts. I don't believe it, the Sichuan army dares to provoke foreigners! ”

Even the Beiyang officers, who have always regarded themselves very highly, agree with this statement, since the Opium and Chip Wars, the giant ships and cannons of the foreigners have long bent the backbone of the old-school soldiers of this era. Their confidence in foreigners is definitely much stronger than their own.

Yuan Shikai had no objection to this, nodded and said, "Okay, I will discuss with Minister Zhu Erdian later, and ask the British warship to come forward to assist the navy." ”

……

Jiangxi, Nanchang.

The fierce battle between the Beiyang Army and Li Liejun's troops continued, and the offensive of the Beiyang Army became more and more ferocious each time, and Li Liejun's troops defending Nanchang had clearly shown a tendency to rout.

Wang Zhanyuan was very complacent about this, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiushan, it seems that Li Liejun can't hold out for two days!" ”

"That's right. At this time, it is estimated that their reserves are all exhausted, otherwise they would not have recruited some people who are not up to the task. Li Chun was also very relaxed, but he seemed to think of something, and then frowned slightly and said, "It's just how the ammunition supply convoy did it, and it's not there yet?" Otherwise, a few more rounds of shelling of the city would have led to the collapse of the Kuomintang. ”

Wang Zhanyuan touched his chin. He was also very puzzled and said: "Yes, the ammunition supply convoy should have arrived the day before yesterday." Could it be ...... Did the Sichuan army really capture Wuhan? No, how is that possible! ”

Wang Zhanyuan couldn't help but speculate in the direction of the Sichuan army cutting off the Jinghan line, but then he was frightened by his own idea. If the ammunition supply line is cut off by the Sichuan army, then they will not be able to protect themselves, let alone breaking through Nanchang.

While the two were talking, a communications soldier hurried over. handed over a telegram and reported: "Two adults, Beijing emergency telegram! ”

Wang Zhanyuan took the telegram and looked at it, his face suddenly changed drastically, and his hand loosened. The message then fell to the ground.

"How is this possible? That's impossible! Wang Zhanyuan's face was full of disbelief.

Seeing this, Li Chun's heart tightened for no reason, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the message.

As soon as he saw what the message said, Li Chun said in shock on the spot: "What! How is it possible that the Sichuan army has already captured Hanyang and Hankou and cut off the Jinghan line! ”

After half an hour, Wang Zhanyuan and Li Chun were able to recover from the shocking news.

No wonder they were so hit, it was really too shocking and unbelievable that the Sichuan army cut off the Jinghan line.

"The President told us to hold on for the time being, not to rush in, and wait for the Navy to send us ammunition supplies. Brother Xiushan, what do you say? Wang Zhanyuan's words were unwilling, he fought hard for so many days, died so many people, and saw that he was about to exterminate the Kuomintang, but he gave up the last blow at this time, he was really unwilling.

Li Chun persuaded and said: "Brother Zichun, let's slow down the offensive first and stabilize it." Otherwise, once the ammunition is exhausted, we are likely to be in danger of total annihilation! ”

"In that case, let Li Liejun survive for a few more days, and wait for the naval ships to send the ammunition supplies!" Wang Zhanyuan gritted his teeth and said.

The offensive of the Beiyang Army slowed down, and the Kuomintang defending Nanchang was finally able to take a breath, but Li Liejun was a little unclear about this.

When Li Liejun was puzzled, his staff member Yu Bai grabbed a telegram, walked over with a happy face, and said with a smile: "Governor, good news, really good news!" ”

"What's the news?" Li Liejun doesn't think that there is any good news in the situation that Nanchang is about to be lost.

Yu Bai handed over the telegram and laughed: "Governor, this is the news from Shanghai, the Sichuan army has captured Hankou and cut off the Jinghan line. The ammunition supply of the Beiyang Army is in a hurry, isn't this great news? ”

As soon as Li Liejun looked at the message, his gloomy face for days finally showed a smile, and he said loudly: "Okay, good, the Sichuan army has done a good job!" Unexpected, really unexpected! Immediately report this good news to all the brothers in the army, and tell the brothers that as long as we hold out until the Beiyang Army runs out of ammunition, the time has come for us to counterattack! ”

After the news that the Sichuan army cut off the Jinghan line and the Beiyang Army fell into the predicament of ammunition supply spread among the Jiangxi army, it immediately made the Jiangxi army cheer up and down! (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
