Seeing her father's pitiful eyes, Nie Linlin didn't plan to tease her father.

"This is an urgent secret telegram from the Intelligence Bureau, you will know it when you read it." After Nie Linlin finished speaking, she took out a telegram from her pocket again and handed it to Nie Shicheng.

The marshal still decided to fight against Japan, if your father has doubts, you can tell him the details, the payment is Zhong Lin.

"Okay, the old man can finally have a good fight with the good Japanese, and pressed the telegram in his hand on the table, Nie Shicheng's face was full of excitement.

In the Korean battlefield of that year, especially after the Battle of Yashan and the Battle of Chenghuan, he was chased by Japan, which was something that had never happened in his combat career for decades, and this was a stain on himself and a stain for a lifetime. Now that he has this opportunity to wash away the stain, how can this not make Nie Shicheng excited.

"By the way, in order to reduce the suspicion of the Japanese, the marshal means that the 23rd Army will be the first to enter Dandong, and after the war breaks out, the 24th Army will enter Dandong." Seeing that his father did not object. Nie Linlin said Liu Jun's plan.

"Okay, listen to the commander, I immediately ordered the 23rd Army to prepare immediately, rest during the day, and march at night." After Nie Shicheng finished speaking, he didn't care about his daughter, but turned around and walked out of the headquarters, he wanted to personally command the 23rd Army, supervise the preparation of the 23rd Army and set off.

Outside Jiangning City, Nanjing. The cannon roared, and thousands of Liaodong troops were shouting, picking up the guns in their hands and rushing towards the gap in the city wall that had been blown up.

Tata Tata, the Qing troops who were stubbornly defending the city began to pull the trigger of their pistols and desperately plug the gap.

"Mortars, take out the Qing army's firepower points." A captain with a steel helmet on his head gritted his teeth and roared at the machine gun that was spewing tongues of fire.

Click, several soldiers quickly put the mortar mount, quickly adjusted the angle, and then stuffed the shell into the barrel.

There were two crisp bangs, followed by a bang, and the Qing army's firepower point erected on a civilian house was suddenly blown away without a trace.

"Rush me." As soon as he saw that the firing point had been knocked out, the company commander waved the pistol in his hand, took the lead in rushing forward, and threw out several grenades, using the smoke from the grenade explosion to cover and start attacking the city.

In a bunker of a forward position outside the city. Li Rong and Wu Peifu, who had been nervously watching the attacking troops, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This last barrier to attack Nanjing is finally clear.

After Li Rong and Wu Peifu divided their troops on the spot, they finally converged west of Hangzhou, and then the two armies merged into one and advanced to Jiangsu. The troops in the south of Jiangsu have already been transferred to the north by Liu Kunyi, and almost all of those who remain in the south are the governor's battalion and patrol, and in the face of tens of thousands of Liaodong troops armed to the teeth, almost everyone is the opponent of the Liaodong Army, and almost all of them put down their weapons and surrender as soon as they resist a little.

"It can be regarded as taking it down, so that the plan to encircle Nanjing with Zhang Xun can be realized." Put down the binoculars in your hands. Li Rongle looked at Wu Peifu standing beside him.

Wu Peifu nodded: "That's right." Now that Jiangning has been taken, the barrier to the south of Nanjing has almost been cleared. Now, Zhang Xun's troops have entered Qixia and are facing the five battalions of the Hunan army there, and we must also hurry north to contain the Qing army in Yuhuatai so that it cannot support Qixia.

"Victory is just around the corner." With a smile, Li Rong turned around and looked at the staff officer standing beside him: "Order, the troops will step up their attack, be sure to annihilate the remnants of the enemy within an hour, and then advance to Yuhuatai." ”

Nanjing, Liangjiang Governor's Palace, the faint sound of shelling, in the Governor's Mansion, can be heard, in the Governor's Mansion study, Liangjiang Governor Xu Yingqi anxiously walked back and forth in the study, since he took over as Liangjiang Governor, there is not a day that can be comfortable.

The front line was defeated, it has always been defeated, today I received that here is lost, tomorrow where will I break away from the rule, these telegrams, at the beginning, he was still able to be furious, but now, he is very immune to this problem.

"Your Excellency the Governor, something is wrong." Staff member Cheng Wentao walked in anxiously.

"Tell me, something." For this staff, Xu Yingqi just glanced at it lightly, then turned back to his position and asked lightly.

Cheng Wentao did not leave the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion when he was in Liu Kun, but once again served as a staff member for the new Liangjiang Governor Xu Yingqi.

Seeing Xu Yingqi's indifferent expression, Cheng Wentao sighed slightly in his heart, hoping that the governor would be able to sit after getting the news.

"My lord, a telegram has been sent from the front line, Qixia and Jiangning have been lost."

With a snap, Xu Yingqi, who was holding the teacup, stood up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand also fell to the ground.

Nanjing originally relied on these two places to block the Liaodong Army, but now these two places are actually lost, how can this not make you sad.

Originally, there was a fort in Yanziji where to bombard, but a few days ago, the Fujian Navy Division broke in and bombed the Yanziji Fort to the ground.

The artillery equipped by the Qing army did not cause any damage to the warships at all, but its own soldiers, which suffered heavy casualties.

It's over, I'm afraid Nanjing City can't hold it, Xu Yingqi sat in his position, muttering to himself staring at the map on the wall in a daze.

After he took over as the governor of Liangjiang, he has concentrated the surrounding troops in Nanjing, that is, to live and die with Nanjing, now, the army is almost outside the city, now in the city of Nanjing, there are only more than 13,000 people, if the time comes to add the troops withdrawn from outside the city, there will be 30,000 people, 30,000, if this is to deal with the previous long hair, it is more than rubbing, but it is used to fight against the Liaodong army. Xu Yingqi did not have any low in his heart.

"Open fire."

Boom, under the command of the artillery commander, shells erupted from the muzzle of the cannon and smashed on the positions of the Qing army on the opposite side.

In Yuhuatai, after Li Rong's troops took Jiangning, they ordered their troops to immediately follow the defeated Qing army to pursue here, and engage the defenders here.

According to the investigation, the Qing army stationed here is 1,500 people from three battalions of the Hunan army, and these three battalions are not elite, but now they occupy the terrain and are also a threat to the Liaodong army.

In the bunker that had just been built on the front line, Li Rong watched the gunpowder smoke and rubble flying in the Qing army position on the opposite side, and he breathed a bad breath in his heart. Just half an hour ago, the second attack launched by himself actually caused the Qing army to fight back, not to mention, and lost more than 200 people, this is the first time that in the battle that broke out after entering Jiangsu, the casualties in an attack were so large.

"It seems that Xu Yingqi is determined to be buried with the court, and he didn't give us any answer." Wu Peifu on the side put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at Li Rong.

Two days ago, on the eve of the battle of Jiangning City, Li Rong sent a letter to the current governor of Liangjiang, that is, Xu Yingqi, who had fled Fuzhou by himself a few years ago, hoping that he would see the overall situation clearly and surrender for the sake of keeping the people away from the war.

"Cut, you are still waiting for him to reply, he would have replied a long time ago, where will you wait until now." Li Rong, who put down the binoculars, smiled, and instead of looking at the attacking troops in the distance, he did it on the ammunition box.

"I think too, now that the army has arrived in Nanjing City, Xu Yingqi is resistance is becoming more and more fierce, you see." Wu Peifu said here, and pointed to the Qing army position opposite: "According to the intelligence of his Nanjing City, there are more than 30 artillery pieces, you listen, this is in Yuhuatai, and nearly four doors were put up at once, I think he hates you for beating him so badly back then, and retaliates against you." ”

Get revenge on me. Li Rong smiled slightly, the Battle of Fuzhou was commanded by the marshal, and if you want to retaliate, please take revenge.

"Gotta come along, don't mess around like this, have you come back to contact Zhang Xun's communications soldiers?" Waving his hand slightly, Li Rong asked the communication soldiers sent out to contact Zhang Xun three hours ago.

"I'm back." After Wu Peifu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to wipe the soil on the map, he wanted to tell Li Rong about the current situation, so as to make a new deployment.
