However, it was this stupid and tyrannical guy who inadvertently put out the flames of war that was about to be ignited in the Far East.
At this corner, the wheel of history quickly changed direction.
Yuan Shikai thought that Yingmei could help him eliminate the king of Hainan, but now it seems that these are just good wishes.
The Americans wanted to lobby from it, and Chen Zhong did not give them the face of the Americans at all. Today, the great powers are deadlocked, and there is no gap to break through. A full-scale civil war in the country is on the verge of breaking out.
The Hainan army outside Sichuan was ready to wait for Chen Zhong's order to launch the most fierce attack on the Qing army in Sichuan.
War clouds were already gathering on the border with the Qing court's controlled areas. At the junction of Sichuan and Qinghai, hundreds of thousands of horses on both sides confronted each other.
The earth, science and technology are noisy, hateful, and cold
An advance team of Blade orders has secretly infiltrated Sichuan, and their target is the grain and grass warehouse of the Qing court.
Blade's Special Operations Cavalry Brigade was at the forefront of the position and was ready to charge.
In order to prepare for this large-scale operation, Blade specially and urgently transferred 400 cannons to form four artillery regiments. Plus three mixed brigades and four infantry divisions.
Ling Zhan's middle route army in southern Sichuan: Wang Zhicheng's 10th Army, Yang Tianlong's 8th Army, Huang Biao's 19th Army, and Ling Zhan's 13th Army under the direct command of the 13th Army, the southern part of Sichuan, which was directly arrayed after breaking through Guizhou.
The four armies have more than 1,000 armored vehicles, more than 1,800 transport vehicles, more than 1,000 heavy artillery pieces, and more than 2,000 heavy machine guns.
A large part of the commanders of his units are officers who have returned to the Hainan Military Academy for further study after actual combat.
The ship is far away, and the feather is lonely, and the ball is not a solitary skill
It can be said that the overall combat capability of the Ling Zhan Middle Road Army is more than ten times stronger than three years ago.
Compared with Hainan, although the Qing court's troops were relatively large, the overall strength of the troops was a big notch less.
The enemy is far away and the enemy is too lonely to observe the earth coldly
In order to prepare for this large-scale operation, Blade specially and urgently transferred 400 cannons to set up four artillery regiments. Plus three mixed brigades and four infantry divisions.
In the southern part of Sichuan, Zhao Erxun, the governor of Sichuan, personally commanded the front. The 100,000 new troops in Sichuan and the 100,000 new troops of the local militia are already in place, and there are 100,000 green battalions as supplements. However, even so, Zhao Erxun is not completely sure.
Two years ago, Hainan's troops in Guangxi were less than 100,000 troops, the troops were basically equipped with light weapons, and the commanders of the troops were all Tulao hats who had never been trained in regular military academies.
But now, what makes Zhao Erxun unbelievable is that the Hainan army in front of him is many times better than the equipment of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang New Army.
Against such a steel-like army, the results can be imagined. The new army in Sichuan felt that their opponent was too strong, and this was simply an egg and a stone, and this battle was basically impossible to fight.
The knot is far away and the feather moon is coldly hated
According to the current strength of the Hainan army and the use of the terrain of Sichuan, Zhao Erxun ordered the Qing army to stick to Sichuan, stick to various dangerous positions, and dig deep trenches around the city to prevent the attack of the armored forces of the Hainan army.
Both sides have entered a state of imminent war. The troops of both sides are ready to attack at any time.
Ye Gucheng's East China Sea Fleet and the Yangtze River Inland River Fleet were also ordered to come directly to Chongqing from Wuhan. All 18 warships are combat-ready. If necessary, they will provide artillery support for the army attacking Sichuan, and can take care of the fighting in Wuhan.
Although there were 400,000 Qing troops on the opposite side of Zhao Erxun, and 100,000 new troops, known as the most elite army, guarding southern Sichuan, General Ling Zhan, the commander-in-chief of the middle of the Hainan army, who was responsible for the attack on southern Sichuan, did not take them seriously at all.
In the eyes of Commander-in-Chief Ling Zhan, the so-called new army of the Qing army and the current Hainan army are not at the same level at all.
The new army of the Qing court, whether in terms of equipment or the overall quality of personnel, they were no match for the nearly 400,000 army in front of them.
As long as the prince gives an order, the Hainan army will be invincible, and it will only take a minute to take Sichuan
It's just that now the prince's general attack order has not yet come, and the armies of Hainan are still waiting for the prince's attack order.
Don't hate, don't hate, cold hate, hate, ghosts, hate
Not only on the Western Front, but also on the Eastern Front, the Qi Gang Army and the Qing Army also entered a state of tension. The atmosphere is very tense, and it only takes one ignition point to completely detonate this powder keg.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the Qing court is still waiting and seeing. Chen Zhong didn't want to fire this first shot, what he meant was that the Hainan army could afford it.
Although the Qing court had already begun to implement the plan to encircle and suppress the Hainan army, the purpose of their expedition was extremely complicated. Yuan Shikai also watched in Hubei. He was calculating what he would gain from this war once it started.
For a time, there was an extremely strange scene on the land of China, where millions of troops were waiting in formation, but no one gave the order to attack, so it was consumed.
Zhou Zhiguang rushed to Chongming Island from Hainan, and Ling Feng and Zhou Feng came to Chongming Island with him.
As soon as Zhou Zhiguang met, he asked Chen Zhong why he was still fighting with the Qing court, why not take advantage of this time to launch a large-scale attack and directly besiege Beijing.
Sun Kedi is far too cold, lonely and lonely, and he doesn't know how to fight
Chen Zhong said: "General Zhou, don't be anxious, sometimes, it will cost us a lot less energy. Just like the current situation, if the confrontation continues for a long time, the Qing army will become more and more afraid.
Over time, their will will quickly disintegrate. You know, the Qing army's internal affairs were extremely complex. If they do not fight in this way, but only confront each other, the various forces in their troops will have internal differences, and the combat effectiveness of the Qing army will certainly weaken a lot on its own.
Therefore, if they do not fight, we will wait and see from the periphery, and as long as they fire the first shot, we will never be soft, and we will fight hard if we want to, so as to completely solve the Qing army in the whole country.
In addition, I have ordered General Xiao Yang to absolutely guarantee the pre-war supply of all armies, and to ensure that our soldiers are well fed and clothed, and that all their supplies are guaranteed. Although we will not fight now, once the fight starts, we will fight directly to Beijing. ”
Zhou Zhiguang nodded with a smile and said, "It's still the prince's thoughts." I'm a little anxious. In addition, the prince, my dog said, I hope to be by the side of the prince, so that I can learn a lot from the prince, so that I can better prepare for the prince in the future. ”
Zhou Feng hurriedly came to Chen Zhong's front and gave a standard military salute and said, "Zhou Feng is willing to saddle the horse and be loyal to the prince by his side."
