Chapter 866: Old Yuan Bows His Head (Finale)
In less than half an hour, the Governor's Palace was taken by the Special Operations Division.
The already small defenders of Guangzhou City, like wolves smelling blood, all flocked to the Governor's Palace, trying to save the Governor's Mansion from the hands of the special operations division.
However, because of the fear of the governor's problems, the new army in Guangzhou did not dare to attack.
Rifles, machine guns, and even grenades were used on both sides.
The crackling gunfire and explosions were very dense, but neither the Guangzhou New Army nor the Special Operations Division chose to use artillery to provoke the other side.
When more and more new troops in Guangzhou were concentrated in the Marshal's Mansion following the sound of gunfire, there were even fewer defenders in the Guangzhou Military Port.
That's not all, the attention of these defenders at this moment is all focused on the direction of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
As for the sea behind them, no one cares at all.
At this moment, the roar of the motor suddenly sounded on the sea behind them.
Because the sea was still shrouded in darkness, the Guangzhou New Army who remained at the military port did not know what these motor sounds meant.
Of course, these new troops were not slow to react at all, and immediately ordered the searchlights of the military port to search the sea surface.
Soon, gunboats that were rushing towards the military port entered their field of vision.
The Canton Navy was also armed with gunboats, but certainly not so many, and most of the gunboats were parked at the military port.
Now so many gunboats are rushing towards the military port at once, as long as you are not a fool, you will know that the military port has been attacked.
The shocked defenders were in disarray at once, and in the midst of the shouts and curses of their respective officers, they desperately rushed to their combat positions, trying to block them with artillery fire.
But the Wehrmacht gunboat brigade reacted faster.
As soon as the searchlight came over, they understood that the sneak attack had turned into a strong attack.
Because the gunboats were at sea, hidden in the dark, the defenders had to use searchlights to see them. But the defenders inside the military harbor were different. Because of the attack on the Marshal's Mansion, the military port suddenly became brightly lit and completely exposed to the gunboat brigade of the Wehrmacht.
As soon as the defenders moved, more than twenty gunboats opened fire.
More than 20 shells fired from the guns of the main ship smashed accurately into the military port with a scream, and many of the panicked defenders were blown into the sky before they could make any reaction.
As the gunboats got closer and closer to the military port, the machine guns on the deck of the gunboats also fired.
In the dull sound of artillery, as long as the defenders of the military port were next to the small-caliber shells fired by the machine guns, they were either missing arms and legs or were broken in two, and then they were killed in an instant.
Nearly 1,000 defenders were killed and wounded before they could rush to their combat positions.
The remaining defenders who were still alive were all beaten to lie down behind the obstacles in the military port, and did not dare to move.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the gunboats quickly approached the dock of the military port, and then the Wehrmacht, which was divided into companies, rushed to the military port and quickly took the entire military port under the cover of machine guns and naval guns behind them.
In the face of the wolf-like Wehrmacht, the defenders, who had been beaten and feared, did not even have the idea of resisting and surrendered directly.
After successfully taking the military port, the first two regiments to land, only one battalion was left to guard the military port, and the remaining five main battalions were directly killed in the city of Guangzhou, where there were still guns and cannons.
Soon, the few defenders of Guangzhou City fell into a dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy, and they could not advance or retreat.
In addition, the commanders and headquarters of the Liangguang military government were all captured, and all these troops chose to surrender to the Wehrmacht before dawn.
In the next few days, the National Defense Forces that landed in Guangzhou, with the military orders of the former two marshals' offices, quickly took over all the important towns and transportation arteries of the two Guangzhous.
Because the speed was too fast, by the time everyone reacted, Liangguang had already become the territory of the Wehrmacht.
At this moment, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army was still steadily advancing in Hunan and Fujian provinces.
Of course, the Wehrmacht would not let go of this opportunity, and directly ordered the Liangguang Wehrmacht to enter Hunan and Fujian to compete with the Beiyang Army for the two provinces.
You must know that most of the troops in the south of the Beiyang Army are new recruits, and even the equipment is captured on the battlefield.
And the Wehrmacht is a well-deserved elite unit, well-equipped.
After a fierce battle, the Beiyang Army did not even hold the territory that had been taken, and directly withdrew from the two provinces, and also lost the strength of one town.
Yuan Shikai, who was shocked, saw that the Wehrmacht had no intention of stopping, and in order to keep the few remaining provinces in the Central Plains, he could only transfer troops from the north to the south to block the offensive of the Wehrmacht, and tear down the east wall to make up the west wall!
However, with this move, the situation in which the north and the national defense forces were evenly matched was suddenly broken.
The Wehrmacht's 1st Army, 4th Army, Guards Division, took the opportunity to launch a southward offensive.
The special operations division, which Yang Xingguo had high hopes for, also participated in the battle as a regiment unit, and successfully captured several town headquarters of the Beiyang Army.
The 50,000 or 60,000 Beiyang Army suddenly fell into a dangerous situation of being leaderless.
The National Defense Army took the opportunity to intersperse and wiped out Yuan Shikai's main force in the north in one fell swoop, and also took Henan, Shandong, Anhui and several other provinces.
At this time, the Beiyang Army in Yuan Shikai's hands was less than 100,000 people, and most of them were recruits, without heavy weapons, entrenched in Hubei, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu provinces, and completely lost the capital to dominate the world.
In the face of the attack of the National Defense Forces from the north and south, Yuan Shikai could only propose to negotiate with the National Defense Forces.
In the end, Yuan Shikai chose to join the Wehrmacht.
Yang Xingguo still trusted Yuan Shikai's military talent very much, and directly appointed him as the deputy commander of the National Defense Force, responsible for the foreign war and diplomacy of the National Defense Force.
The 100,000 Beiyang Army was compressed into two main armies and marched to the northwest and southwest to be responsible for the battle to unify the whole country!
