Chapter 227: The Battle of Shanghai (11)
"Boom, boom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info.! ”
Baoshan Outer Harbor! In a sea of fire, the French warship, which had just gone to the Huangpu River for an afternoon during the day, was dealt a heavy blow.
Li Weili, who was far away from a small village in Yuepu Town, suddenly drilled out of the camp, looked for a high ground and asked: "Where is the artillery, who is firing the cannon, is Yang Dongfang going to break through?" ”
"Your Excellency Commander, it was the sound of shelling from the direction of the Baoshan Outer Harbor, and it was visually that the Baoshan Outer Harbor was shelled."
Li Weili fell down a little, and exclaimed: "What, Baoshan Outer Harbor,!" Our battleships. Hurry up for reinforcements, I'm going to find out which bastard did it. Defend here, don't let Yang Dongfang break through. ”
There was yesterday's sneak attack and ambush, and of course Li Weili and their admirals didn't think that anyone dared to sneak attack, so all the warships stopped back today.
By the time Li Weili arrived with his men, the outer harbor of Baoshan was almost destroyed, destroying four cruisers, six gunboats, two transport ships, a number of merchant ships, and the others were more or less slightly wounded, basically one-third of the naval force was destroyed, and nearly half of the combat force was weakened.
There are many bodies floating on the shore, and the surviving boats are salvaging the people who have fallen into the water and fighting the fire.
"Bastard! How will it be. Just when Li Weili wanted to eat people with red eyes, a second lieutenant ran over and said: "Your Excellency, the army garrison battalion on the shore is pursuing the enemy who is sneaking up, and the enemy is fierce, so I ask for support in the pursuit." ”
"Chase! Chase them all for me, and kill them all. ”
――――――
"Dashuai, are you really an immortal disciple? It's also so unreal. ”
"What do you say?" Yang Dongfang looked at Chongming Sino, and said with a smile: "That's it, for the sake of you who are also lost, we won't investigate tonight's matter, you guys disperse, now that you have 100,000 taels of silver, you can live freely in the future, or don't forget your heart." ”
"Thank you, Dashuai, we won't be here in the future, this money is enough for us to be chic for half a year." Chongming Si didn't hold his fists and thanked him, and said before he finished: "Dashuai, you are so bold, when we have no money, we are looking for you, Dashuai has anything to help Although he opened his mouth, Su Song and Tongzhou have a lot of people in the rivers and lakes we know, and we Chongming Si still have some face, as long as we find the existence of blood droplets, we will definitely help Dashuai eradicate them." ”
One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a vain flower, what Yang Dongfang wants is such an effect, this piece of Jiangnan, how to say it, the people in the rivers and lakes of Wulin, half to half support the Taiping Army and the former Hunan Army and Huai Army.
Now? Of course, it is necessary to pull all of them into their own teams, at least leave a good image for those who don't want to stand in line, just don't be enemies, otherwise they can't do big things, and bad people and good deeds are all good hands.
The yin people behind them are all unambiguous, the danger of the rivers and lakes is even more terrifying than the court, and it is also a different kind of battlefield, because they are not bound by unified rules many times, which Yang Dongfang has also heard Feng Yuniang mention to Dong Haichuan.
Sending these four away, and at the same time letting them help take away the seriously wounded and recuperate, Yang Dongfang and his two companies did not go to the concession and Shanghai County, but led Li Weili to the periphery of Jiading.
After chasing for a long time, just when Li Weili wanted to give up, he quickly reported later: "Your Excellency Commander, Yang Dongfang disappeared in the village, and we didn't find a new People's Army after we attacked the village, we were fooled." ”
"Bastard! How can this be, they will not be able to fly. Wait, it seems that this big devil can really fly, isn't it... Front. Li Weili carefully analyzed it and found that the shelling of last night was too strange, and at this time he immediately became annoyed in his recollection.
"Ahead, these people in front are the New People's Army, that is, Yang Dongfang, chase, continue to chase me. Inform Huaijun that Yang Dong went to Jiading. ”
The county seat of Jiading is wrapped in a circular canal, and the waterways extend in all directions, and the geographical conditions are very good. If you attack, you have to fill the canal first, or you have a water boat to get closer.
Yang Dongfang didn't think about fighting it, and bypassed Jia and headed for Taicang. Li Weili followed closely with people, Huaijun received the news and chased him out of Jiading County, who called Guo Songlin There are 20,000 people, and Jiading alone released 5,000 people, so half of the people were dispatched.
Taicang also changed Guo Songlin's subordinates early, there were 2,000 people in it, Yang Dongfang asked people to put two shots into the city, and then waited for the French army and the Huai army to chase after them, and continued to walk north, all the way to Changshu with Li Weili.
Li Weili and the Huai army were naturally persevering and chasing after each other, especially the Huai army was afraid that Yang Dongfang would recapture Changshu, so they chased after it.
Late at night, the New People's Army rushed to the city of Changshu, Yang Dongfang immediately bombarded the city, I heard that the New People's Army came back, and there were not many defenders in the city, so they were directly scared away.
The New People's Army entered the city, and soon the city became lively.
Li Weili and the Huai army were half a beat slower, and they had to know that Yang Dongfang had entered the city, and they were annoyed, the New People's Army was walking too fast, two hours faster than them.
The tired French army and the Huai army still had the strength to attack, and immediately made a simple position outside the city, and after a while, it was dawn, and the Huai-French coalition army rested for half a day, collected some grain in the surrounding villages, and had a simple meal, and then began to discuss the attack.
The result was that while attacking, while waiting for the artillery behind to be mobilized, the end was that the New People's Army was bombarded by the artillery from the city, and the 6,000 people of the Huai-French coalition army attacking from three sides were stunned and did not taste the cheap.
There is no artillery cover, and there are many people, especially the French army, they don't rush to death, and the Huai army also intends to preserve their strength, knowing that it is not easy to kill Yang Dongfang, and finally left hundreds of corpses, retreated, and surrounded Changshu.
Of course, this is useless, Yang Dongfang can leave at any time, but he didn't go, but took advantage of this time to run to Xuzhou again, transporting a thousand people from here to Changshu.
"Marshal, the Twist Army has made contact with us. Zhang Zongyu intended to return to our New People's Army, but Lai Wenguang was not willing, he wanted to go north to fight Beijing City and be the second marshal, and he is now near Mangdang Mountain. Because of the arrival of the Twist Army, the atmosphere in Xuzhou has become delicate.
The Huai army was not attacking Xuzhou, and the Shandong soldiers were hit hard last time, which made Shandong extremely empty, and Li Hongzhang had ordered Pan Dingxin to protect the canal line in Shandong.
The pressure on Xuzhou was greatly reduced, and Song Jingshi calmly began to train troops in the city.
Yang Dongfang shook his head slightly after listening to the situation report: "Regardless of them, we will meet if we are fated, do our things first, let them toss, this time I will take you to Shanghai, you can leave a trustworthy brother here." ”
"Then Yongge, this kid follows me from south to north, and he can do anything." Song Jingshi worked hard, had no opinions, replied without thinking, and did not ask what to do in Shanghai.
Song Jingshi was taken to Changshu by Yang Dongfang, and Changshu was handed over to him, as for Shanghai, he ordered to further shrink the troops, and the west of the French Concession was all shrunk into the concession, Shanghai County was still stubborn, and the north of the public concession also held Quyang, but Hongkou in the east was further contracted and ceded, and the French army advanced to the public concession on the north bank of the Huangpu River.
It's like a rushing arrow inserted in, which seems to be very good, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent and dangerous.
The French army advanced layer by layer here, and the situation was very good, so Li Weili put more attention on the side of Changshu City, and after the artillery was transferred, he began to attack day and night.
However, now that there are 1,000 more Song Jingshi here, the New People's Army is much easier to defend than on the first day.
Counting from the evening of the tenth day of entering Shanghai, this late night! In the direction of Liangcheng, the New People's Army, which received Yang Dongfang's order, launched a counterattack from Quyang, and most of them attacked Liangcheng unusually, and finally showed their hideous side and tiger teeth.
