Chapter 18: Beyond the Turning Point of History
(I just saw a book friend on the 20th who gave a reward, and I would like to express my gratitude here, thank you)
For Gao Yang, energy points are the most important, how to get energy points? Try to change what happened in history! In history, Lu Yongxiang lost the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, so Gao Yang had to let him win. Of course, it would be better if it helped the direct family win the Zhifeng War, but the current Gaoyang does not have this strength.
There are more than 10,000 people and horses, boundless and boundless. And also with the recruits on a night march. Gao Yang had no doubt that if the marching army column was raided at this time, these recruits would definitely blow up the camp. It's just that now there are no troops in Anhui Province that can do this.
The mercenaries and biochemical warriors are trying their best to restrain the troops to maintain the queue, and the raid on Bengbu is a carefully selected 200 best-trained soldiers, led by dozens of mercenaries and biochemical warriors, who are approaching Bengbu under the cover of night.
No matter how they train, recruits must go through the baptism of the battlefield before they can become veterans, Gao Yang has prepared for the worst, no matter how much loss in personnel or equipment, Gao Yang can accept it.
Gao Yang was sitting in a carriage and followed the troops. There is not a single car to be found in the whole of Feng County, and the local roads are not suitable for cars. Gao Yang is also very helpless, even the country roads of the original time and space are stronger than the roads here.
Because all the soldiers were newly recruited, there were no veterans who taught some of the bad habits of the army, and the military pay was always paid on time and in full, with three full meals a day, well-equipped and well-trained. There was no such thing as a warlord custom, and the German mercenaries had never heard of paying money for going to war.
The first group of people who followed Gao Yang from the northern capital to Feng County went home after the reorganization, and some of them went home with the money given by Gao Yang, and some of them went to the civilian police to become police or something, and Gao Youcai was the police chief of Feng County, and Gao Yang did not treat them badly.
Yang Dong, who was originally inconspicuous, has been following Gao Yang. In this operation, Yangdong also played an important role, and Yangdong is the hometown of the local people in Bengbu, which is in the city. Before the operation, Yang Dong had already entered the city with a few boxes of oceans, and successfully bribed the commander of the army guarding the city gate!
Wilks came to Gao Yang's side and reported: "The Belu Movement has occupied the city gate and has not alarmed the people in the city. Gao Yang got out of the carriage and took out his night vision device to look at Bengbu City in the distance. There was silence, except for the faint figure flickering at the city gate.
"Go into the city and act according to the plan. The gendarmerie was ordered to maintain military discipline and to arrest any violators immediately. Gao Yang said to Weix.
In the secretariat of the Castle Governor's Office, Chen Qirui, the brother-in-law of the Tori people, has not yet rested. There was always a vague feeling of palpitations, as if something was going to happen. Because he has had several contacts with Gao Yang and has been to Fengxian County several times, Chen Qirui knows Gao Yang's strength and personality far better than Lord Governor. Now almost all the troops that can fight in the province have been transferred to the front line in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and if there is any movement in Gaoyang, which is staying in Fengxian County at this time, it will be miserable.
Chen Qirui knew the thoughts of Lord Dao Governor, and when he won the war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he would definitely turn around and clean up Gao Yang, but now the nest is empty, what if Gao Yang does it at this time? I can only hope that he will not see this opportunity.
Putting down the teacup, Chen Qirui was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep, when suddenly a crisp gunshot rang out, which was so loud in the silent night! Turning around violently, he felt the cold sweat all over his body dripping down, and before he could react, the dense gunshots rang out continuously, like firecrackers in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the whole city was instantly boiling!
He kicked open the door and shouted, "Where to shoot!" Before the guards in front of the door could say anything, they saw several huge fires rising in the garrison camp, followed by a loud explosion!
Chen Qirui stumbled to the ground and muttered, "It's over, it's over." "That's a cannonball exploding! Now at this time, there is only Gaoyang in Fengxian County within a radius of 100 miles from Bengbu City! Before the Governor set off, he specially asked Chen Qirui to take the two battalions of elites to guard in Bengbu City, just to watch Gao Yang.
The people who were raided at night and had already slaughtered into the city to listen to the dense gunfire of at least thousands!
The two guards rushed to Chen Qirui and set him up, and ran out, the city couldn't be defended, and people couldn't fall here. The Governor still values this brother-in-law very much.
Early the next morning, Gao Yang walked into the secretariat. The battle went well, and most of the elite of the two battalions became prisoners without even getting their clothes on, and the scattered armed resistance of the other policemen disappeared like waves in the sea. After successfully controlling the Bengbu Railway Station, the Jinpu Line was under Gao Yang's control, which was Gao Yang's biggest purpose in addition to pulling out the nails of the two battalions.
An Minmin proclamation was issued, announcing that the entire city would be temporarily under military control, and Li Zheng was appointed as the acting mayor. Afterwards, we went to the square to watch the execution of the gendarmerie. In last night's chaos, more than a dozen soldiers and a number of scoundrels took advantage of the chaos to rob and rape, and all of them were captured by the gendarmerie.
Hundreds of lives were greatly shocked, and the recruits reaffirmed military discipline again, and then Gao Yang led the main force to Pukou by train.
The biggest gain from the occupation of Bengbu is not the money of the secretariat, but the hundreds of captives and the hundreds of thousands of people around it! Gao Yang had already recruited almost all the school-age youths who might be soldiers in Feng County. After the occupation of Bengbu, there was finally a new source of soldiers.
The Supplementary Regiment was left behind, and a new recruit training camp was set up in Bengbu, and all the prisoners were thrown into it, and they began to recruit soldiers in the city.
The train was fast, and it was already in Pukou in the evening, and there was no decent resistance from all over the way.
All the troops guarding Pukou escaped across the Yangtze River and ran to Nanjing. Gao Yang led his troops to rest in Pukou for one night, and the next morning he left Weix to lead the Second Regiment to garrison the ferry and wait for the follow-up heavy artillery equipment to block the river. Gao Yang led the main force all the way to Anqing.
On the night when Gaoyang seized Bengbu, the battlefield in Jiangsu and Zhejiang took a fundamental turn. If Gao Yang had not been born, Lu Yongxiang would have been doomed.
On September 8, the situation on the battlefield in Jiangsu and Zhejiang changed abruptly. On this day, Zhang Guowei, commander of the artillery regiment of the Second Division of Zhejiang, and Sun Chuanfang were classmates of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and the two had a good personal relationship. Zhang Guowei was originally the director of the Zhejiang Survey Bureau, but because Lu Yongxiang wanted to install his cronies, he used the excuse to remove Zhang Guowei's part-time job, and Zhang Guowei was very dissatisfied with Lu Yongxiang. On the eve of the start of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, Zhang Feng sent a guard to guard the dangerous point between Zhejiang and Fujian - Xianxialing. In order to retaliate against Lu Yongxiang, Zhang Guowei privately dedicated the Xianxialing Zhejiang Army's defense map to Sun Chuanfang, so that Sun could enter the customs smoothly, and put Lu Yongxiang into an unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back The Fujian-Jiangxi coalition army easily occupied Xianxialing because Zhang Guowei contributed the defense map.
After the outbreak of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, Sun Chuanfang deliberately did not take unified steps to launch an attack, but waited to see the changes in the situation, trying to wait until both sides of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were defeated before making a move, so as to reap the benefits of the fishermen. When he saw that the two sides of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were inseparable, and the main force of the Zhejiang army was pinned down by the Soviet army and the Anhui army, he suddenly sent troops and entered Zhejiang from the flank.
The Zhejiang army was in danger of collapsing with the enemy. Just when Lu Yongxiang was considering preparing to give up Zhejiang and fully retreat to Shanghai, Gaoyang issued a direct telegram and swept Anhui Province in Nanjing in a short period of time!
The Anhui troops on the front line heard that their hometown had lost their morale and plummeted, and they asked to go home, and some even left the battlefield on their own!
Qi Xieyuan and Ma Duli were stunned by Gao Yang's blow, and the original joy of Sun Chuanfang's actions completely dissipated. The Anhui army retreated on all fronts, giving the Zhejiang army a chance. Lu Yongxiang hurriedly transferred the front-line troops south to intercept Sun Chuanfang, and the two sides fought fiercely near Jiangshan in Zhejiang.
Qi Xieyuan dispatched Du Xiqi to lead the Yangtze River Fleet (Commander Li Junxi, under the jurisdiction of 20 warships, including the cruiser "Hairong" and the gunboat "Ding'an"), the Minyuan Fleet (commander Yangjiazhuang, under the jurisdiction of 9 warships, including the cruiser "Yingrui", the cruiser "Tongji", and the gunboat "Jiangyuan") and the Marine Corps mixed brigade to Pukou to prepare for a counterattack on Gaoyang.
At noon on September 13, Yangdong boarded the cruiser Hairong on the river near Zhenjiang. In the officer's conference room, Li Junxi and the captains of the ships were there. "President Cao Da has already declared you a thief, you still dare to come here as a lobbyist, are you really not afraid of death?" Li Junxi gave Yang Dong a dismount.
Yang Dong smiled and said, "Each is a chief, I'm just a messenger." Senior Commander asked me to convey to you that all the military expenses that President Cao Da did not allocate to the Navy were paid by Senior Commander. ”
"Boom" a large number of naval officers all blew up.
"Nonsense, he Gaoyang doesn't have so much money even if he digs gold mountains at home."
"Boy, I don't see that you are not like a master who is full of nonsense, and you will speak after thinking about it."
"There are two small money, I really think that Lu can do anything, do you know how much the navy spends a year?"
"Hillbilly."
"The army's mud legs know a fart."
Since the beginning of the Republic of China, the navy has become a role that grandmothers don't love and uncles don't love, and they have never received full military salaries. You can only use the smuggling of warships to subsidize expenses, let alone buy new ships. Money is more pro to the Navy than anything else!
Yang Dong didn't speak, just smiled and listened to them, and after a while they all quieted down, Li Junxi coughed and said, "Gaoyang knows how much military spending does the navy need a year?" ”
Yang Dong took out a check from his clothes, handed it to Li Junxi, and said, "Whether it's true or not, send it to the Modu Citibank for inspection, and you will know it." This is the military budget owed to the Navy this year, and the senior commander said that as long as the Navy does not exceed the Zhenjiang line, it will be fine. Zhang Dashuai in the northeast will enter the customs soon, and it is not too late to wait until Yushuai and Zhang Dashuai are divided into high and low, and the navy will make a decision. Don't block your own way. After Yang Dong finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
At this time, Gaoyang had already occupied Hefei, and Anhui Province north of the Yangtze River was under Gaoyang's control. The direct main forces in nearby Henan, Hubei, Shandong and other places were all transferred by Yushuai to the front line of Shanhaiguan to confront the Feng army, and the defenders left behind were still insufficient, let alone attacking Gaoyang.
The disobedience of the navy made Qi Xieyuan dumbfounded, and Nanjing was under the gun. In desperation, Qi Xieyuan transferred most of the main force back to the vicinity of Nanjing, which made Lu Yongxiang's pressure drop sharply, and he was able to mobilize more troops to resist Sun Chuanfang.
And Lord Governor and the Anhui army troops could not cross the river, so they could only wander around the mountains of southern Anhui.
On September 15, Zhang Dashuai was finally ready to start.
