Chapter 207: Sweeping Northern Jiangsu
At the time of the Nanjing Incident, Huaxia Tian** did not directly rescue it, but turned eastward and advanced into eastern Jiangsu.
Many generals in Huaxia Tian** advocated rescuing Tianjing and fighting with the Hunan army, but in fact, the Hunan army was easily wiped out.
Luo Yang didn't pay attention to them, because he had more ideas,
Zhang Suimou from Sichuan had written to him many times, telling him to seize the opportunity and not to save Nanjing easily: "Otherwise, what does King Rui think." ”
It is indeed a big problem, if Nanjing is saved, and the Taiping Army is one, it is very embarrassing, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom has been established, and the Taiping Army is two systems, do you want Luo Yang to obey Hong Xiuquan, no, Hong Xiuquan's historical life is determined, whether to obey Hong Tian Guifu, or upside down or come, it is unrealistic, so, Luo Yang avoided the edge, decided to go south along the coastline, swept northern Jiangsu, and attacked Shanghai, because, he knew some information, especially the interrogation of some Huai Army officers, Huai Army Li Hongzhang and others, has been created, several military enterprises in Shanghai, one of which is the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which makes him very excited, in fact, the historical Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was established two years later, anyway, in advance,
It's good in advance, then, Shanghai doesn't have a good foundation of military equipment, if it can be captured, it can solve a lot of materials and equipment, as well as the problem of technical personnel.
"Shanghai is far more important than Nanjing, Nanjing has heavy troops, this king is absolutely not worried, our army attacking Shanghai, can copy the enemy's rear road, but also cut off the Hunan army's foreign guns and artillery, in this way, fundamentally cut off the Hunan army's source of weapons."
Luo Yang's words are very reasonable, anyway, no matter which direction of attack, there is a reason, everyone thinks about it, and there is no too much dispute.
When the Qing army stormed Tianjing, the Luoyang army had quickly replenished supplies from Kaifeng, rested for three days, and then quickly went southeast.
This battle, in northern Jiangsu, is in fact called a ridiculous battle,
Because of Huaxiatian's attack, it is like entering a no-man's land,
Northern Jiangsu was originally a place of repeated contention between the Taiping Dynasty and the Qing army, but northern Jiangsu was barren, and once the war was fired, the ecology was immediately destroyed.
The population was greatly reduced, the flight was made, and agriculture collapsed, so the defense force of the Qing army was very weak, some were the surrendered troops of the former Taiping Army, some were the affiliated militia of Li Hongzhang's army, and some were the green battalions of the original Qing army, which were not many in number and had worse combat effectiveness,
The 100,000-strong army, led by the cavalry of the Twist Army, and all divisions and regiments, rampaged, were invincible in northern Jiangsu, and successively occupied all the territories and cities in Jiangsu north of the Yangtze River.
The battle of Huai'an is still a scale, the vanguard of the Chinese army, Jiang Zhi's brigade, attacked the city, was resisted by the Qing army, united more than 1,000 regiments, 1,000 regular troops of the Qing army, and worked hard, defending to the death,
Jiang Zhi commanded the troops and bombarded the city with artillery, so that the Qing army hid in Tibet and stood unsteadily on the city wall, so some officers and soldiers took the opportunity to enter the city, and then, bombarded with grenades, the Qing army was defeated, surrendered one after another, and it was done.
In the battle of Yancheng, the Qing army took the initiative to attack, with 300 cavalry and more than 400 infantry, and they actually fantasized about winning a battle, but they died ridiculously.
Liu Jiahui's cavalry brigade swept away the Qing army, and the stubborn Qing cavalry drew their swords to resist, and was blown up by a grenade that split their heads and covered their heads, so that they cried and shouted for their mothers, and fled in embarrassment.
Liu Jiahui's cavalry lost only eight people, and then annihilated the enemy and occupied the city,
Dongtai City, because the people in the city are inclined to the Taiping army, as soon as they saw that there were only troops outside the city, they knew that it was not the Qing army, and immediately turned back, because the Qing army of a battalion stationed in the city was originally a force that was forced to surrender.
Xinghua City is quite not small, more than 3,000 Qing troops resisted the war, but, during the attack, encountered a terrible bomb falling from the sky, what is that, when thinking philosophically, the officers and soldiers suffered, so, everyone shouted, the wind was tight,
Where can it be pulled, the cavalry of Huaxia Tian** is powerful, so, catch up, then shout, so captured, some people object, foreign guns killed,
Hai'an, a tough battle, an infantry regiment of the Huaxia Army arrived, more than 1,000 people, even the flying thunder cannon did not carry, the forward, a shout, the city shot foreign guns, killed three Chinese officers and soldiers, the Huaxia Army was furious, immediately threw out a grenade attack, the unsuspecting Qing army general burst his head on the spot, the Qing court prefect was also dying, still hesitating, the Huaxia Army has been under the cover of foreign guns and grenades, successfully landed in the city, the resisting Qing army suffered heavy casualties, so, surrendered,
Taizhou is already close to Nanjing and the Yangtze River, so Dong Fuxiang's division from Mengcheng was asked to make a detour to the southeast, or be stationed here, and not to make any further progress, but Dong Fuxiang is a fierce general, how can he look at the meat on his mouth and the jade body on the bed and be indifferent, so he attacked the city,
The Qing army counterattacked, because, here is part of the famous Hunan army, here, it is isolated from the internal and external transportation of Tianjing City,
More than 2,000 Hunan troops flocked up, and the formation made the Huaxia army see the bloody battle scene that had not been seen for a long time, so they took it seriously, and the artillery and infantry lined up in a line into a train formation, waiting for the enemy to take the bait and devour the bait.
There are really fish that are not afraid of pricking their mouths,
More than 2,000 people, just so awesome, I can see all the officers and soldiers of the Dong Department of Huaxia Tian**, my heart is itching, Lao Tzu even won more than 6,000 people in the Huai Army in one fell swoop, and I'm afraid that you are a bull,
The Hunan army rushed to the front and was about to tear it up, when suddenly there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, explosions everywhere, gunsmoke was filled, and visibility was gone.
There are those who cough, there are those who rub their eyes, there are those who dance in the sky and pretend to be the great beauties of the Tang Dynasty, there are those who lie down on the spot and pretend to be stiff, and the hundreds of Qing troops in the vanguard are swept away.
The Hunan army is not the other, and continues to attack, but rushing, the last Qing army found that only a few of their own hairs were left.
Huaxia Tian smiled evilly, laughed evilly, and ridiculed all kinds of sarcasm, so the remnants of the Hunan officers and soldiers, righteously and awe-inspiring, committed suicide,
Nantong, already on the Yangtze River, at the port, as soon as Huaxia Tian arrived, the city gate was opened, because the Qing army had no defense, I don't know how safe it is here, why bother to be on guard, the main general of the Qing army, a Dusi officer, is holding a little wife at home and giving birth to a son, and the rest of the officers are playing mahjong, so all kinds of comfortable, relaxed, military camp pull the Qing army, until a soldier with different clothes rushed up to cut his head, only to understand that it is not right, immediately cast a life-saving **, kneeling,
Liang Chengfu's division attacked Jingjiang City on the edge of the Yangtze River, occupied it, and then forced it to the Yangtze River, and the Huaxia Army on the other side looked for ships in Nantong Prefecture, but unfortunately there was none, otherwise, after Chongming Island, to southern Jiangsu, it would be Shanghai,
Liang Chengfu's division was lucky, in Jingjiang City, found a lot of people, captured a lot of Qing army officers and clerks, under the threat and temptation, these people led, provided the target of the ship,
At the same time, the Huaxia army in the Huai'an area also came south and brought a large number of ships from there as canal transportation, so that the conditions for crossing the Yangtze River were met.
Luo Yang came to the edge of the Yangtze River, admired the magnificent and picturesque rolling torrent of the Yangtze River, and excitedly waved the horse whip: "Cross the river." ”
