The competition for the revolutionary party began, and because there were more monks and less porridge, after it was expanded, it could not be concealed, not to mention Yuan Shikai, who never gave up collecting information on the revolutionary party, and never spared no effort, not to mention that the big iron plate in the northwest is now untouchable, and if Yuan Shikai still has a little ambition, he will definitely choose to march to the revolutionary party.

After receiving the news of the Northwest supplying arms to the Revolutionary Party for the first time, Yuan Shikai was extremely angry about the actions of the Northwest, and Yuan Shikai was very unaccustomed to many of the Northwest's styles, but because this was a big iron plate, he chose to tolerate the attitude, but the current practice of the Northwest seems to be that the two companies sell arms and want to seek some kind of balance, which he does not want to see.

After finding Yang Du and Xu Shichang, and after reporting the situation, both of them were silent, and after a long time, Yang Du broke the calm and said, "Dong Weng, what do you want to do!" ”

"What do you want to do?" Yuan Shikai looked at Yang Du in surprise, and he didn't understand why Yang Du said this.

"The news came in a timely manner, if it was half a month late, the things would really be in the hands of the revolutionary party!"

Yuan Shikai's eyes lit up, that's right, things are secretly transported, such a large amount of munitions, on the railway, it is impossible to avoid Beiyang's ears and eyes, although after agreeing with the northwest, for the goods and imported resources from the northwest, Beiyang easily let go, but the outside is loose and the inside is tight, about these weapons and other strategic materials, really not let go.

This is not only known to Beiyang, but also to the Northwest, which means that the Northwest wants to give arms to the Southern Revolutionary Party. can only go to Shaanxi, after leaving Qinchuan, down the Yangtze River, and it depends on the speed of their entry into Wuhan, otherwise. There is also a detour.

Yuan Shikai looked at the bottom of his face and was able to achieve today's status how many people have red heads this is inevitable it is inevitable to kill and kill it wants to fight steadily but now. He said calmly: "Send a report to Zhiquan, don't wait any longer, start attacking!" ”

The Beiyang soldiers have approached Wuhan and Hefei, and it can be said that Hubei and Anhui. Basically, it belongs to Beiyang, and now there is another arms incident, when the arms have not been completely transported to the south, the Beiyang Army began to assault, and it is a rapid assault.

Led by the three towns of Beiyang, along the line of Anhui Hunan, they began to attack forward, 10 days and thousands of miles. Such a leap forward speed has made the world look sideways, and there is no direct railway from the south to the north. After 10 days, after capturing most of the important cities of Hubei and Anhui, because the logistics stopped. Just along the Yangtze River, a confrontation was formed.

The battle between the Beiyang Army and the revolutionary party was fought in Hubei in the history of later generations. But now, because there is no Sichuan road protection movement. Hubei is not weak, and it is well coped. The uprising in Wuchang did not produce many twists and turns, and was directly nipped in the bud.

Although the situation in Hubei was turbulent next, and the revolutionary party was also active, until Duan Qirui arrived in Wuhan, Wuhan was still firmly in the hands of the new army, and the arrival of the third town completely made all careerists and people with ideas die down, and the Hubei New Army took the initiative to move closer, accepted Duan Qirui's reorganization, and then followed the third town across Hubei, and completely included Hubei into the scope of Beiyang.

On the other side, Anhui is similar, and then, but not steadily, the two armies will meet at the junction of Hubei and Anhui, and the three towns will almost show a zigzag shape, and go straight to Hunan.

Everyone knows that Nanjing, as the base camp of the revolutionary party, is also one of the most powerful places of the revolutionary party, and it is difficult to say anything else, because more than 30 new troops of the association have gathered, and this point is not easy to break, and Changsha, Hunan, which is also an important city along the Yangtze River, has become the focus of the attack.

From Wuhan in the past history, to Changsha, also as an important city along the Yangtze River, but the war situation is not as fierce as Hubei, after all, the Beiyang Army arrived here, with the traffic conditions of the entire north, from Beijing to Wuhan, there is a natural transportation channel of the Pinghan Railway, but to Changsha, Hunan, but encountered the Yangtze River natural danger, in the absence of a bridge, this is absolutely impossible to pass.

Especially the conditions in Changsha are not the same as the three towns of Wuhan, that is, they are almost under the city of Changsha, Duan Qirui is a little emotional, fortunately there is no detour of the Yangtze River from Wuhan, although it is said that the Yangtze River is dangerous, but there is no protection behind it, if the back road is cut off, their army of more than 70,000 people, where to get supplies, to Changsha, Hunan, although a little detour, also need to break the Yangtze River natural risk, but overall, there is no problem behind it, with the help of Hubei and Anhui under the new military control, it is a strong rear, If there is any setback, then go back, at least safely.

The southern water towns, even in winter, are not easy to move, the soldiers in the north have not yet been accustomed to the water and soil in the south, this humid and cold climate, has created a lot of non-combat attrition, especially in the south, the roots of the north are completely different, through the cold in the bones, many people are crushed by this pain.

Complex environment, difficult journeys, and non-combat attrition, the speed of the Beiyang Army has decreased significantly, from the previous 10 days and thousands of miles, to 20 days and 500 miles, fortunately, Changsha is in front of you.

The sudden advance of the Beiyang army, it can be said, suddenly woke up the revolutionary party in the south that was fighting for power and profit, to be honest, they did not expect that when the revolution was about to succeed, there was actually a powerful Beiyang army, Yuan Shikai changed his previous appearance, did not hide any strength, and directly fought out.

For Beiyang, the revolutionary party actually has a certain shadow, familiar with the late Qing Dynasty, Beiyang can be said to be the last weapon that the late Qing Dynasty can take out, they all think that maybe under the control of the regent and the Qing court, Beiyang will gradually decline, just like the Beiyang Navy Division back then, but Beiyang, who really showed his fangs, showed his ferocity at the end of the battle.

The Beiyang Army, which was active in Hubei, Hunan, and even Anhui, proved the strength of Beiyang with real battles, even if it was a random battalion, it was not something that they could deal with.

External pressure will promote internal unity, the same is true of the revolutionary party, fighting for power and profit, always wait until the territory is stabilized, besides, the efficiency is unimaginably fast, Beiyang is clear, the sword is pointed at Changsha, although behind Changsha, there is Nanjing, but Nanjing is the last way to retreat, if Changsha can no longer block the Beiyang Army, to achieve a certain balance of power, the Beiyang Army after capturing Changsha, directly rushed to Nanjing, maybe, the revolution and the Republic of China, there will be nothing to do with their revolutionary party.

With a clear understanding that all the revolutionary parties should unite together, what is the struggle for power and profit, and what future position, first pass this hurdle, and then talk about it, it is necessary to withstand the offensive of the Beiyang Army in Changsha.

Along the convenient conditions of the Yangtze River waterway, the revolutionary party army gathered in Changsha, even if the arms in Baotou had not yet arrived, but with the new army of more than a dozen towns, plus the support of Zhang Jingjiang, close to 20,000 troops, this is Zhang Jingjiang's hidden smuggling.

Among the arms sellers, it is still very easy to leave a batch of arms, except for the previous one, a batch left during the Nanjing Uprising, and a later batch, which is to prepare for the expansion of the army, or to take out the use of special times, but I didn't expect that it will only be a long time, and the special time will come.

No one is fighting for this batch of munitions, and everyone knows that this batch of munitions has a bearing on the life and death of the revolutionary party and must be used in the most crucial places; among the new army, the only ones who are known for their combat effectiveness are probably the old foundations of the revolutionary party who participated in the Nanjing Uprising, and they are the basic backbone of the revolutionary party, and most of the officers have military academy and study experience in Japan.

This group of people, just after the independence of Nanjing, set up 2 divisions, but they are all small divisions, each division of about 12,000 people, now, with these weapons, plus from other armies to draw elites, emergency integration, into 3 divisions, each division to ensure about 15,000 people, a full set of German equipment.

In addition to the three divisions belonging to the revolutionary party, a little late, the remaining booster troops, one after another, concentrated in Nanjing, hoarding soldiers under the city of Changsha, one side is the strength and artillery fire occupies a considerable advantage of the Beiyang Army, on the other side is the superior number of the revolutionary party, the two sides have a total of 210,000 troops, Beiyang is 70,000, the revolutionary party is 140,000, and a fight began on the Yangtze River.

The 200,000-level battle, not to mention the northwest concern, the great powers have also sent observers to observe the situation at close range, and the flames of war are burning on the banks of the Yangtze River, and all the surrounding highlands and strategic points are the key to the battle.

At the beginning, the Beiyang Army occupied an absolute advantage, a town against the revolutionary party 5 divisions to fight, but also won the battle, in just a week, annihilated 3 divisions, the revolutionary party lost more than 30,000 people in one fell swoop, and even a lot of the establishment, were completely scattered, many attrition, the strategic points around Changsha, was also pulled out by Beiyang one by one, Beiyang with the actual situation, demonstrated their combat effectiveness, with one enemy five, and won the battle, now according to the grapevine, Beiyang has 250,000 troops, Although most of the Beiyang Army is not the old base, but the old foundation of the six towns of Beiyang also has more than 150,000, which makes the revolutionary party how to fight.

For a time, on the side of the revolutionary party, the morale plummeted, and the terrible reality showed that Beiyang was invincible, even if they could get the weapons of the northwest, it would be impossible to resist, and the gap in strength was huge.

People's hearts began to float, it turned out that they were just high-level people fighting for power and profit, and they began to consider the problem of the back road, and some people even proposed that they should not ask for help from the northwest, and see that the northwest has support for Zhang Jingjiang and the previous revolution, it should be able to help, and the two parties will unite.

Under such a complicated and disheartened situation, the three divisions under the banner of the revolutionary party, which had the strongest combat effectiveness and were urgently replenished with personnel and equipment, arrived at the foot of Changsha. (To be continued) R655
