Chapter 144: Sending Troops to the Capital (Part II)
First let the guards notify all levels to hold an emergency meeting, Hu Lin sat in the conference hall and waited, Li Guangchou, Zhao Kui, and others who were next to him came soon, and then Chen Rui, Wang Lin of the Scientific Research Department, and Li Tie of the Military Department.
It didn't take long for everyone in Pingshan to arrive, Tang Jingchong and Huang Huaisen were in Nanning and the governor's yamen, and they didn't rush over, so they didn't care, and then a telegram notice was enough.
Now we have to hurry up, Hu Lin directly told the matter of sending troops immediately. "Now the situation has changed, I have received reliable information, after the foreigner coalition forces have captured the capital, the next target is us, our things in Pingshan are too eye-catching, I'm afraid we can't dodge, we must attack first."
Hu Lin's affirmative voice echoed through the hall, and at a glance it was clear that there was no room for negotiation. "Before, the three-month plan I mentioned can let you see the strength of the Pingshan Army against the Shangyangren Alliance, and now, can you see it? Still worried? ”
"General, with the helicopter and the powerful machine gun, as well as the rocket, this series is combined, the strength of our Pingshan Army is empty and powerful, even if there is still a certain gap in the soldiers, but with the compensation of weapons, it is enough to suppress the foreigner coalition army."
Li Tie compounded Hu Lin Dao, after seeing the new equipment brought back by Hu Lin, the strength of the Pingshan Army increased greatly, and one by one, they faced the foreigner coalition army, and returned with a great victory.
"Of course you won't worry, general, I said that with such good weapons and equipment, we will directly occupy the capital, and if you become the emperor, then we will all be made marquises."
Zhang Qiang, captain of the first flight team of the Pingshan Air Force, spoke ahead of Air Force Commander Zhu Hongfei. This girl directly shook out that the emperor came, which made the entire venue instantly gasp.
Zhang Qiang disrupted the rhythm of the meeting, and Hu Lin was also a little difficult to grasp the rhythm, did not refute, did not express his position, and directly ignored the good, which is not suitable to talk about this matter for the time being.
"Okay, now that everyone knows the current strength of our Pingshan Army. Now, then, immediately notify the ministries and prepare to send troops to the capital tomorrow.
By sea. Li Guangchou was responsible for recruiting civilian ships for military use in the near sea. Zhou Wu, you are thoughtful, and you are still the same. You stayed in Pingshan, wronged you, pay attention to Wang Daniu's Fangchenggang. Let Tang Jingchong's regimental training and Huang Huaisen subordinate the Qing army to help defend the safety of Guangxi Province.
After Li Tie's special division arrived at the port of Tianjin, he got on a helicopter and used machine gun rockets to defend the gates. Wang Daniu and Xiong Qing led two reorganization divisions respectively, mainly to draw out the elite.
Xiong Qing first led all the most elite soldiers to form a division and take the sea route. Together with 15,000 people, another 3,500 people were mobilized to be better soldiers. Led by Wang Daniu, he took the land route and tried to arrive as soon as possible.
Yang Zitong, Zhu Yao, and Lu Jiabin, your military machinery factory is stepping up the production of guns, ammunition, grenades, etc., and the supply must keep up.
The Air Force has more than a dozen helicopters that can fly together. The original propeller aircraft formation has done a good job of patrolling in various parts of Guangxi Province, increasing the number of patrols, and other departments have negotiated and handled logistical follow-up matters.
The people present had not yet reacted from Zhang Qiang's words, it was Hu Lin's series of arrangements. But now everyone has to think about how to fight foreigners.
Subsequently. Only the people from the military department were left to discuss the battle plan, and everyone else went to deploy materials, or they were like Zhao Zheng. Organize the people of the school to fill some civilian work after the departure of the Pingshan Army.
After all, there are relatively few literate Pingshan soldiers left, and many things still have to be dealt with by literati, as long as these people can fight and can hold the Pingshan government, they may face attacks.
The battle plan was discussed late into the night. The main reason was that Xiong Qing was escorted by helicopters with the convoy and went ashore near Tianjin. Then the helicopter took Li Tie's special division to help the Qing army defend the city gate before the foreigners attacked the outer city.
The 3,500 people led by Wang Daniu marched to the capital by sea, and if the war went well, they could use helicopters to escort the fleet back to meet them, and if the helicopters could not leave, they would run to the capital by themselves.
Pingshan is guarded by Zhou Wu, and the general garrisons from all over Pingshan are deployed, and there are many people, but they are not afraid that Pingshan will be lost. Of course, if things go smoothly and Hulin still wants to take Vietnam together, and there are Hui parties who have been driven over, it is not a big problem, it depends on how it goes.
After the order went down, the Pingshan government radiated to the entire Guangxi Province and began to operate, first the ships in charge of Li Guangchou, the problem was not big, and some were mobilized from Guangzhou, and then Pingshan originally had a large cargo volume, plus a Victoria Lewis class cruiser, loaded, 15,000 people is not much of a problem, it is easy to handle.
If there are too many, there is no way, and this is also the result of Hu Lin's consideration of the ships and arms and materials that he can probably call. Moreover, it can only be matched with more weapons and ammunition, and most of the food is to find a way in the surrounding areas after arriving in Tianjin, and there is no big problem.
The following night, Pingshan, Mashan, Nanning, Guilin, Liuzhou, and other places in Guangxi Province took action all night after receiving the telegram order.
The elite of the garrisons from all over the country who were the first to be dispatched rushed to Fangchenggang to rendezvous, and after leaving a part of the Pingshan garrison, they also drove to Fangchenggang non-stop.
The efficiency of the army was the fastest, and before the cargo ships mobilized by Li Guangchou arrived, a temporary military camp had been set up on the flat ground of Fangchenggang, ready to set off at any time.
There is no need to worry about logistical materials, when Hu Lin formulated the March plan, he purchased enough military supplies in modern times, such as food, medicine, clothes and bedding.
In particular, there was no way to find supplies of aviation fuel in the Qing Dynasty, and Hu Lin was already preparing to have enough fuel to hoard at the Pingshan oil depot.
These military supplies were stored in the warehouses of the Pingshan government, and were transported to Fangchenggang one after another, following the convoy behind the army. Pingshan Hospital dispatched most of the medical staff to accompany it, plus some medical equipment, but it accounted for a lot of supplies.
The sudden martial law made everyone in Guangxi Province a little inexplicable, but the order was issued, and everyone needed to cooperate as much as they could when they received the instructions.
Preparations were carried out in an intense and orderly manner, and all localities in Guangxi Province had already made strict control over the information, and tried to delay the time for sending troops to be exposed; after another day, the most elite troops of Pingshan of 1,500 people had already boarded the ship, and all kinds of materials had been loaded and unloaded.
In the early morning of August 3, 1900, dozens of mixed fleets of various sizes sailed out of Fangchenggang and slowly headed out to sea, where Hu Lin sat on the Victoria Lewis-class cruiser, the only warship of the Pingshan Navy.
The mixed fleet, in the faint light of dawn, approached and turned eastward. The escort was temporarily carried out by Zhang Qiang and another pilot, piloting the helicopter.
The plan was to sail to a certain distance, and the other helicopters would follow, and the small boats would unload the fuel from the large freighter to the shore and refuel the helicopters, so that the relay would reach Tianjin three or four times. If it encounters a possible foreign warship, then at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, 10 helicopters can quickly be assembled to carry out an air-sea station.
Of course, the training officers and naval instructors sent by Germany such as Frank on the Victoria Louis-class cruiser had already been invited to the barracks in Fangchenggang, "take proper care and rest!" ”
According to the information obtained by Hu Lin from modern times, almost all the warships of the coalition forces near the Qing Dynasty were mobilized near the Dagu Fort of Athletics, where 24 warships gathered. And in the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty, there were only a few small warships guarding.
In addition, the various countries saw that the offensive was smooth, and the resistance from Tianjin to the capital was only the main force of the Boxers and a small number of princes' Qing troops, and the progress was very fast. They are also stepping up their efforts to mobilize warships from the country. (To be continued.) )
