September 3, 1924, 10 a.m. In the position of the Jiangsu First Division stationed in Yixing, Jiangsu, thousands of officers and men of the First Division gathered in the starting position.

Wang Dashan was a recruit in the Jiangsu First Division and joined the army in order to have enough to eat. In Wang Dashan's impression, the life in the barracks is to get up early and go to bed late, the whip of the officer, the soles of the veteran's shoes, when eating, there are always leftovers, and the clothes that can't be washed can be done!

But when I woke up this morning, everything changed. When fetching water, the squad leader smiled and said that there was no need to do it! At breakfast, everyone had meat in their bowls! The most unbelievable thing is that he actually received 12 oceans of military salary!!

As a new recruit, Wang Dashan has never seen a salary, and everything around him has been different from the past since the morning. Wang Dashan, who had never left the 30-mile perimeter of Wangjia Village before the age of 20, could not understand these changes at all. After eating meat in the morning, he carried a gun and trotted all the way to this wood, and the surroundings were densely packed with soldiers!

The veterans gathered to smoke cigarettes and whisper something. The recruits were either drinking water or squeezing under the shade of the trees, and the Jiangnan area in early September was unbearably hot, and the sun hung in the sky to show their enthusiasm.

The squad leader squatted next to Wang Dashan with a cigarette in his mouth, holding a cigarette and motioning for him to take a puff. "Ahem," Wang Dashan sucked hard, feeling as if his lungs were on fire, his throat and eyes were hot, choking his snot and tears flowed down together.

"Ha Lu Ha Ha" a few veterans on the side laughed at this new recruit's egg. The squad leader smiled and patted him on the back, and when Wang Dashan came to his senses, he said to him, "When I shout for a while, you keep running forward, do you see the Zhuangzi in front of you?" Pointing to the village a few miles in front of the woods, he continued, "Over there is Changxing, Zhejiang, as long as you rush in, and when this battle is over, I will get you a pot of meat to eat." ”

"Squad leader, you didn't lie to me?" Wang Dashan can still recall the wonderful taste of the fat meat in the morning.

"Don't worry, let you eat until you vomit." The squad leader made a promise without hesitation.

Wang Dashan wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt the ground under his feet seem to tremble. Immediately afterwards, I saw a large cloud of dust rising from the rear, and whistling cannonballs flying overhead like hail in winter and smashing into the village in front of me.

The dense cannonballs smashed into the village and set off a large cloud of dust and fire, which was louder than the firecrackers set off by Wang Dahu's house during the Spring Festival, like thunder! The huge roar, the whole earth, and the loud noise of the colleagues around him made Wang Dashan completely stunned!

Just a few minutes passed, and everything suddenly stopped, as if nothing had happened. Momentary silence was terrifying. A terrible military horn sounded, and countless soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill." "Like a moving ant colony, they are rushing towards the village.

Wang Dashan, who was still in a daze, was kicked hard by the squad leader on the buttocks, and the squad leader with a hideous face yelled at him, "Chong Chong!" ”

Wang Dashan ran madly in the crowd like a rabbit chased by a hungry wolf, with only one thought in his mind, run forward and run forward.

The dust in the village in front of him dissipated, and a clear scene appeared in front of Wang Dashan. The ruined houses and burning roofs look like a ghost town. "It's not alive, is it?" As soon as the thought in my head was turned, there was a sharp whistling sound overhead!

It's a familiar sound, the same as what I just heard. The veterans all fell to the ground in an uproar, and Wang Dashan stepped on a person's back. Before he could react, the dense shells exploded in the charging soldiers.

The dust was flying, the ground was shaking, and the loud explosion almost shattered the ear drums! Shrapnel and huge waves of air turned this place into a hell on earth. Flesh and blood flying, stumps and broken arms flying all over the sky.

Wang Dashan, who was knocked to the ground by the air waves, felt as if he had been smashed into his chest with a hammer, and the huge pain made him scream miserably. I couldn't hear anything in my ears except the buzzing tinnitus, an arm with a watch fell from the sky and smashed on his chest, the watch that he was envious of on weekdays was completely unnoticed by him, and Wang Dashan's eyes only had the arm that was still trembling slightly!

Go to TMD braised pork, go to TMD Dayang, I can't feel the sharp pain in my chest, and I can't hear any sound, Wang Dashan ran back like crazy, and there was only one thought in his heart: "I want to go home!" "Behind him is a group of routs under the black press!

The war that swept through most of China and took countless lives and homes began!

Chen Tiaoyuan, commander of the Second Route of the Jiangsu Army, under his command the 24th Central Division, the 1st Jiangsu Division, the 2nd Jiangsu Mixed Brigade, the 5th Jiangsu Mixed Brigade, and the 3rd Henan Mixed Brigade, first launched an attack on Changxing, Zhejiang, but was met with stubborn resistance from the Zhejiang Army and the attack was blocked. The Zhejiang army and its artillery were ambushed in the mountains near Changxing, only thirty miles away from Yixing, and the artillery fire could directly bombard the Soviet troops stationed near Yixing; When the Soviet artillery bombarded the Zhejiang army, the Soviet army, which was heavily attacked, suffered heavy casualties because the Zhejiang army was stationed in the mountains and had little effect.

At 11 o'clock in the morning of the 3rd, Jiangsu and Zhejiang fought again in the direction of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Soviet troops stationed in Huangdu, Jiangsu, first opened fire on the Zhejiang army, but the Zhejiang army did not fire a single shot in the fortifications. The Soviets thought that the Zhejiang army was cowardly, so they launched an attack at 11 o'clock. The Zhejiang army used machine guns and artillery to return fire, killing four or five hundred Soviet soldiers. The Soviet army was terrified, and all the departments retreated one after another, and the Zhejiang army took advantage of the situation to pursue Anting. At 5 p.m., occupy Andinh.

In view of the fact that Qi Xieyuan first provoked the war between Jiangsu and Zhejiang, on the evening of September 3, Lu Yongxiang issued a "telegram from the division", accusing Qi Xieyuan of "intending to undermine public order, the environment and the soldiers, and the intention to succeed", saying that "all the localities and local people in Zhejiang and Shanghai cannot but make every effort to defend them, so as to fulfill the due duty of a soldier in order to maintain permanent local law and order." In the telegram, Cao was described as a "treacherous beetle" and accused Cao of "chasing the East China Sea in front and driving Huangpi behind"; "The Lincheng case is a shame for the whole country, and the neighbors have repeatedly blamed it...... The result of the negotiation, flattering the outside and seeking glory"; "He dared to openly bribe the election, and the scandal spread everywhere, and the people were disgraced." After the telegram, he said, "Yongxiang and others belong to the military, and the responsibility is to defend the country...... Annihilate the evil, reckless coercion, and eliminate traitors for the country, how to be lucky, drive for the people, and rather plan success or failure. ”

The next day, President Cao Da issued an "order to crusade against Zhejiang", claiming: "For the sake of fighting violence and pacifying the people, it is really difficult to listen to his delusions, and it is in vain for our people." Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin were both stripped of their official honors and removed from their respective positions, and the troops led by Governor Qi Xie were suppressed by cameras. ”

As the leader of the anti-direct alliance, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram on the second day of the war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to crusade against President Cao Da and Yushuai. He also actively mobilized troops to prepare for the direct action, personally organized the "Zhenwei Army", appointed himself commander-in-chief, and organized the Feng Army into 6 armies, with a total strength of about 150,000 people, to the front line of Rehe and Shanhaiguan to actively move, and the war in the north was about to break out.

On the second day of the outbreak of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, Mr. Sun held a meeting in the Generalissimo's Mansion in Guangzhou, announcing that "aiding Zhejiang is to save Guangdong" and decided to swear to the Northern Expedition. Its Northern Expedition plan was to attack Jiangxi first, and after conquering Jiangxi, he would go down the river to occupy Anhui, and then join forces with the Zhejiang-Shanghai coalition army in Nanjing, and then go north along the Jinpu Road, and join the Feng army to attack Beijing and overthrow the rule of the direct warlords. The next day, Mr. Sun issued the "Decree on Appealing to Cao Kun and Wu Peifu", calling on the people of Guangdong to "work hard to drive forward for the people, sweep away the warlords, and realize the rule of the people." "At this point, most of the country is filled with gunsmoke.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang mainly fought fierce battles in the five directions of Yixing, Shanghai-Nanjing line, Jiading, Liuhe, and Qingpu. After the outbreak of the war, the Soviet offensive in the direction of Yixing was blocked, with heavy casualties and low morale. On the 5th, the Zhejiang army counterattacked, pouring thousands of shells on the Soviet positions within half an hour, all the way to a few miles away from Yixing City, the Soviet army was defeated, and three battalions mutinied. On the evening of the 6th, the two armies fought fiercely at Anting, and planes from both sides also rushed to help in the battle, but in the end, due to the parity, the two armies were in a stalemate. On the 7th, the Zhejiang army entered and occupied Shushan. Su Qi hurriedly transferred reinforcements from the 5th Mixed Brigade in Anhui, and finally blocked the Zhejiang army. The transfer of the 5th Anhui Mixed Brigade from Wuhu to the Yixing front line made the garrison along the Yangtze River in Anhui Province empty, and the good opportunity that Gaoyang had been waiting for finally showed the light of day.

At this time, the Anhui Security Brigade in Fengxian County had entered a state of combat readiness, and the soldiers received weapons and ammunition and slowly advanced in the direction of Bengbu in battalions and regiments, followed by a long horse-drawn cart and ox-cart transport procession. Gao Yang is still waiting, waiting for an important day.

In the direction of Jiading, on the evening of September 3, the Soviet army attacked the west gate of Jiading, but the defenders could not resist it, and the situation was precarious. On the 4th, 6 battalions of the Yang Huazhao Department of the Zhejiang Army were ordered to reinforce. On the 5th, fierce fighting broke out between the two sides. On the 6th, the Soviet army continued to attack fiercely, but Yang Bu, for the division that could recruit the accustomed to war, calmly faced the battle, and finally repelled the Soviet army, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

The Soviet attack in the Qingpu direction was repulsed, and the Zhejiang army launched a counterattack, forcing Qi Xieyuan to transfer the 6th Division of the Central Army and the 3rd Anhui Mixed Brigade stationed in Anqing to rush to reinforcements. At this point, only one unit of the 19th Division of the Central Army stationed near Hefei was still capable of blocking Gaoyang.

In the direction of Liuhe, the main battlefield of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, on the afternoon of September 4, the Soviet army launched an attack, and the Zhejiang army opened artillery to resist. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Zhejiang army could not resist the onslaught of the Soviet army, retreated to Luodian, and the Liuhe River fell into the hands of the Soviet army. At 8 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the Soviet army took advantage of the victory to attack, and the Zhejiang army urgently transferred the main reinforcements of Yang Huazhao's troops to stabilize its position. At 3 o'clock in the morning of the 5th, the Soviet army sent 300 death squads to charge, but unexpectedly fell into a heavy encirclement and annihilated the whole army. Seeing this, the Soviet army hurriedly retracted, and the Zhejiang army took the opportunity to pursue and occupy the Liuhe River. After that, Soviet reinforcements arrived and counterattacked several times, all of which were repulsed by the Zhejiang army. On the morning of the 6th, the Zhejiang army issued a general attack order, forcing the Soviet army to retreat, and the Zhejiang army pursued the Soviet army all the way and faced collapse! In a hurry, Qi Xieyuan urgently ordered the 19th Division of the Central Army stationed in Hefei to rush to Anqing to get on the ship to support, so far there are only sporadic security regiments and police left in the whole territory of Anhui Province, and the opportunity for Gaoyang has come!

On the evening of September 7, Lord Governor personally led the 19th Division of the Central Army to disembark and arrive at the front line to stabilize the front, just when Qi Xieyuan breathed a sigh of relief. On the night of the same day, Gao Yang led the main force of the Anhui Security Brigade to about 20,000 people to rush to the city of Bengbu!
