Chapter 961: Encirclement of Wuhan
Happy, how can I be happy, the court can't be for a long time, not to mention anything else, it is the current weapon, that is a gap, not to mention, life in Liaodong is several times better than that of the imperial court, in terms of speech, the imperial court strictly prohibits discussing the royal family, but Liaodong, you just scolded Liu Jun in the book, that's fine. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info,
Freedom, which is profoundly embodied in Liaodong,
Li Yuanhong once stayed in Jianmen Pass, and he could clearly feel that the living standards on both sides were similar in the first year, but since the second year, a large number of factories have appeared in Hanzhong, accompanied by the improvement of material living standards, and the railways have arrived in Hanzhong.
This is not something that ordinary people can do, at least, the imperial court can't.
"Nothing, I'm wondering, when will the people of Sanxiang no longer be devastated by the war."
Yang Zaixing didn't be able to hear what Li Yuanhong meant, and after thinking about it, he said directly: "What does the commander say, we are victorious, at present, the army has been divided into two ways to advance to Jishou and Loudi Shaoyang, at most two months, we will be able to occupy Hunan." ”
Two months, hearing Yang Zaixing say this, Li Yuanhong looked at Yang Zaixing in front of him: "What about two months later?" ”
This one? Yang Zaixing closed his mouth, he understood now, Li Yuanhong was not thinking about the present, but about the future, turned his head and looked at the mountains of arms behind him, Yang Zaixing was not talking, he hoped that that kind of situation would not appear.
Yicheng Liushui Town, surrounded by rivers, surrounds the whole town. In a not very generous house, Duan Qirui was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and pondering, in front of him, there was a military map of Hubei, and now, one of his own corps was stationed less than three kilometers behind him, listening to his own orders, but at this time, he didn't know how to act.
At present, there are two cities placed in front of him, the first one, that is, to fight Jingmen in the south, Jingmen has a brigade of the Hubei Army plus five thousand people in eight banners, a total of 10,000 people, take Jingmen, the entire northwest region of Hubei, all fall into their own hands, and then, the army went south again, and the enemy in Jingzhou area to eat a town.
Second, directly to Tokyo, take Suizhou, and support Zhang Xun's 11th Guest Regiment 22nd Army and Navy to attack Wuhan.
Zhang Xun's 22nd Army has now entered Xianning, Huangshi is advancing towards Wuhan, and the six torpedo cruisers of the Navy's Fujian Navy Division have been assembled in Jiujiang and are then preparing to attack.
Whether to fight Jingmen or Suizhou, Duan Qirui is still a little difficult to decide.
"Commander, fight Wuhan first, capture the thief and capture the king first, and Duan Fang ascended the throne in Wuhan and became the emperor. As long as we defeat him, we will be able to completely disintegrate the enemy's combat effectiveness. The chief of staff on one side stepped forward and said.
Okay, just hit Suizhou, hearing the words of the chief of staff, Duan Qirui stood up and looked at the chief of staff: "Send a telegram to Lushun, report our situation, and prepare to attack Suizhou." ”
Lushun, Liu Jun's home, the headquarters has been moved, and now he is at home, and there are still some supplies left.
The family had already left Lushun yesterday afternoon, and now there are only Zhong Lin, Zheng Yiqian and others here.
"Head, Duan Qirui called, they asked to attack Suizhou." Zhong Lin walked up to Liu Jun, who was sitting in the study, and handed over the map in his hand.
Suizhou, Liu Jun, who heard this, stood up and came to the map.
"It seems that Duan Qirui wants to take Suizhou and Zhang Xun to attack Wuhan." After Zheng Yiqian on the side finished speaking, she added again: "But what I want to know is why Duan Qirui didn't attack Jingmen, and then went south to attack Jingzhou." ”
"Although Jingmen has the strength of a town, but in the south, that is, Hunan, on the border of Hunan, there is another town, if you go south, you can't be unguarded, the town in Hunan will be dispatched, therefore, it is a smart move to fight Suizhou, so that the troops in Hunan can stand still." Seeing that Zheng Yiqian didn't understand, Liu Jun patiently explained.
"After Wuhan is taken down, what will Duan Fang and the others do? Is it really given to the imperial court? Zhong Lin on the side thought for a moment and asked a sharp question.
Wuhan, hearing this, Liu Jun lowered his head and thought for a while: "Give it to them, but there is one thing, we must take Wuhan within a month, so that we can seize the front of Hunan and give the imperial court a disadvantage, so that they know that they do not have any advantage in negotiations." “
"Boss, you're fighting a heart-to-heart battle, and you're fighting beautifully."
"Don't be a sycophant, hurry up and convey the order to me."
Duan Qirui, who received the order, immediately knew Liu Jun's true purpose, and the eastern and western armies began to advance towards Wuhan.
On June 9th, Duan Qirui took Suizhou, and on the 16th, the Xiaogan defenders retreated, and Duan Qirui took Xiaogan. At the same time, Zhang Xun's 22nd Army had already taken Huanggang, and the navy annihilated the Yangtze River Naval Division in one fell swoop in the Tuanfeng area. Wuhan has been completely besieged.
The Wuhan Imperial Palace, once the Governor's Palace, has been changed to the Imperial Palace of the Chu State, inside the palace hall. Duan Fang, who was dressed in the emperor's costume, sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers below in a daze.
Knowing that they couldn't make any suggestions, Duan Fang could only let everyone leave, and then left Zhang Biao behind.
After everyone left, Duan Fang stepped down from the dragon chair and began to ask Zhang Biao's opinion.
"Now that the Liaodong Army has surrounded Wuhan from the east and west, how long can you hold out?" Duan Fang had already withdrawn his troops to make any plans, and he knew that even if he ran anywhere, he would be caught by Liu Jun and killed.
"Up to a month." Zhang Biao lowered his head and thought for a while, then told Duan Fang the longest time.
One month. Fortunately, Lao Tzu has finally been the emperor for a few more days than Liu He, and when he heard this number, Duan Fang was very satisfied, even if he died, it was worth it.
"Your Majesty, if we had enough ammunition, I would have been able to hold out for a longer time, but now, our armaments have been lost in several battles, and now, guarding a town in Wuhan, there are less than five days of ammunition,."
Less than five days of ammunition? How is this battle fought? Hearing this, Duan Fang gasped.
"What about France, didn't France give us support a few days ago, why haven't they given us support until now?" Hearing this, Duanfang suddenly sounded the words that the Frenchman had found himself a few days ago and was willing to give him support.
France, Zhang Biao was taken aback when he heard this, he knew that there was only a price for France to provide support to the other side, and the price was that the French army could be stationed in Wuhan in the future. (To be continued.) )
