Chapter 151: Unification of China 1

At the end of June, after the summer harvest was completed in the North China Plain, Shandong Hills, Guanzhong Plain, Loess Plateau, Hexi Plain, and Hanshui Valley.

On June 30, Wang Jundao ordered more than 100,000 troops under the command of the Seventh Army of the Dragon and Tiger Army to attack the Inner Mongolia region in two ways.

The first route consisted of five divisions, the 21st Division, the 58th Division, the 59th Division, the 60th Division, and the 61st Division, with a total of 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.

The first route was composed of four divisions, the 19th Division, the 20th Division, the 62nd Division, and the 63rd Division, with a total of 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, led by Yue Fengxian, starting from Zhangjiakou to attack the central Inner Mongolia in the south of the Inner Mongolia Banner, the naturalized city of Tumut, the Sizi Tribe Banner, and the Ordos Left Wing Central Banner, occupying the Ulanqab League and the Yikezhao League, and pushing the forward front to the Mongolian Left Wing Central Banner.

At the same time, Wang Jundao ordered the 46th Division, the 47th Division, the 48th Division, the Cavalry Brigade of the Fifth Army Corps, and the First Artillery Regiment under the command of the Fifth Army Corps to send troops north, led by Kang Dingbei, deputy commander of the Fifth Army Corps, to attack the Alxa Erlut Banner and the Ejin Naturhut Banner in the west of Inner Mongolia.

The telegram ordered the 13th Division under the command of the Fifth Army to be stationed in Guazhou and Dunhuang to defend the allied forces of Yuan Rao, who had already controlled the Ili region and had formed an alliance with Rao Yingqi, the governor of Gansu Province, who had been defeated by the Dragon and Tiger Army last year.

The four brigades of the 14th Division were stationed in Suzhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou, and other strategic locations in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu.

The 15th Division of the Electric Order was seated in Lanzhou.

The telegram ordered the 30,000 iron-blooded cavalry troops stationed in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Gannan to enter Xining under the leadership of army commander Ma Qi (today's Xining does not belong to Qinghai Province, but to Gansu Province), and converge with the 49th Division, 50th Division, and 51st Division that have been training in Xining, plus the divisions directly under the Fifth Army Corps, the Reading Force Regiment of the Fifth Army Corps, and the Second Artillery Regiment of the Fifth Army Corps, which have rushed to Xining, led by Xu Jian himself, and marched into Qinghai and Tibetan Provinces!

The telegram ordered the 28th Division, 29th Division, 30th Division, 31st Division, 32nd Division, 33rd Division, Division directly under the Second Army Corps, Reading Division, Cavalry Brigade, Artillery Brigade, First Reading Force Regiment and other troops under the command of the Second Army Corps guarding Shaanxi to leave Qinchuan, cross the Qinling Mountains, enter Hanzhong, and join the First Reading Brigade of the Second Army in Hanzhong, with a total of 150,000 troops, under the personal command of Xu Jian, to attack Sichuan.

The telegram ordered the 4th Division under the command of the Second Army Corps to stay in Guanzhong, and selected 50,000 military regiments from all over Shaanxi to gather in Xi'an to receive modern military training and form an army.

The 5th Division, the 6th Division, the Artillery Regiment, and the Cavalry Regiment were personally led by Deputy Regiment Commander Cao Futian to enter Shangzhou, join up with the 2nd Reading Regiment of the 2nd Army Corps stationed in Wuguan, and wait for an opportunity to join forces with the 2nd Reading Brigade of the 2nd Army Corps stationed in Jinzhou to capture Yunyang Mansion in the northwest of Hubei Province bordering Shaanxi.

The telegram ordered the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions under the command of the First Army Corps guarding Shanxi to garrison Shanxi, and selected 50,000 of the most elite military regiments from all over Shanxi to gather in Taiyuan for modern military training and formed an army.

On 1 July, the war to unify China broke out in an all-round way.

In launching this war, Wang Jundao only adopted one tactic, that is, to fight steadily and steadily, step by step, after extending the main trunk line to capture the main cities, leaving a small number of troops to exercise military control and gradually 'encroaching' on the surrounding small towns, while the main force of the army attacked the next strategic target along the strategic line formulated in advance.

Therefore, there is not much strategic confrontation and tactical competition in this war, the Dragon and Tiger Army relies on its strong combat effectiveness and advanced weapons, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, often before the battle first launches a round of fierce artillery bombardment, the enemy is bombed to pieces, crying father and shouting mother, at all can not have a little resistance at all, have abandoned the position and fled for their lives.

Most of the troops in this year have just gotten rid of cold weapons, most of them use old-fashioned rifles, slow guns, short range, small power, an average of three or five bullets per person to the sky, many people are still holding muskets, not to say that the Dragon and Tiger Army will use artillery fire and machine guns to open the way every time they fight, but I am afraid that the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army only hold rifles, pistols, and submachine guns to directly charge, and then throw grenades to cover the road at a critical time, and the enemy can only flee and surrender.

Because the gap in weapons is too big, and the marksmanship cannot be compared, every soldier in the Dragon and Tiger Army shoots an average of more than 150 rounds of ammunition.

And the Sichuan army, the Shaanxi army, the Hubei army, the Anhui army, the Soviet army and other armies, not to mention the soldiers equipped with rifles with live ammunition on average of 150 rounds, that is, the average of 15 rounds, most of the soldiers are two or three people sharing a gun, most of the rifling and bolts of the guns are almost smoothed out, how can it be like a wolf and a tiger, the opponent of the dragon and tiger army with advanced weapons?

In particular, the Mongolian cavalry seemed to be menacing, but under a round of shelling by the Dragon and Tiger Army, the horses of the Mongolian cavalry were shocked by explosions and fireworks, and the Mongolian knights, who were originally excellent at riding, tried the tragic fate of a large-scale fall and trampling by horses for the first time.

After the shelling, under the ravages of the submachine guns, barge guns and knights' knives of the knights of the Dragon and Tiger Army, the Mongol cavalry, which had only cold weapons, could not resist at all, and those who died in battle, those who fled, and those who surrendered.

The average number of soldiers in each banner of Inner Mongolia is less than 5,000, under the defeat of the Dragon and Tiger Army one by one, in just three months, the three-way army that went north to attack Inner Mongolia swept the entire Inner Mongolia grassland without destroying the force, from south to north, from east to west, almost a little larger tribes have left the footprints of the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Under the order of Wang Jundao, wherever the Dragon and Tiger Army passed, the herdsmen and serfs were liberated, and a large number of oppressed poor herdsmen got cattle and sheep, pastures, and salt, tea and other goods sold by the officials and private merchants who followed the Dragon and Tiger Army, and supported the Dragon and Tiger Army one after another.

Those peasants, herdsmen, and slaves who enthusiastically contributed to the Dragon and Tiger Army and the political axe of the Chinese Empire were even more rewarded according to their merits.

For a time, the peasants, herdsmen, poor people, and slaves of the entire grassland all actively participated in the Dragon and Tiger Army, leading the way, joining the army, propaganda, and supporting the New Deal......

As long as they are eligible, the Dragon and Tiger Army and the Imperial Political Axe will not refuse, and in more than two months, the centuries-old rule of those Inner Mongolian princes and nobles will collapse.

Therefore, the Inner Mongolia region was directly divided into four parts by Wang Jundao, and four provinces were built, namely Rehe Province in the east, Chahar Province and Suiyuan Province in the middle, and Ningxia Province in the west.

The main combat mission on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia is simply jaw-dropping to complete at such a fast speed, and the next task is to suppress the bandits, suppress the horse bandits that already existed and the former Inner Mongolian cavalry that has been scattered into rogues in the past two months.

Wang Jundao directly gave an order to raze and raze, that is, to use the Mongolian cavalry and those Mongolian knights who enthusiastically participated in the Dragon and Tiger Army to suppress the bandits, let them hold weapons to protect their own interests, as long as the suppression of bandits is over, these Mongolian cavalry will be completely integrated into the Dragon and Tiger Army and become a member of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army.

Similar to the battle in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, the battle of the southern army was also surprisingly smooth, in three months, first the army led by Xu Jian broke through the first line of defense in northern Sichuan built by the Sichuan army and the Shaanxi army, and then broke through the Jianmen Pass defense line under the attack of five airships and night-borne special forces.

The 1st and 2nd Special Forces Regiments were subordinate to the special forces special operations division that only accepted the leadership of Wang Jundao, and in addition to the 'Excalibur' special operations team and the 'Sharp Arrow' special operations team, this special operations division consisted of 10 special operations regiments, each of which had 1,000 special forces.

In this battle to unify China, Wang Jundao used all 10 special combat regiments, and sent the first and second regiments to the Sichuan battlefield, the third and fourth regiments to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau battlefield, the fifth and sixth regiments to the Inner Mongolia battlefield, the seventh and eighth regiments to the Hubei and Hunan battlefields, and the ninth and tenth regiments, together with the 'Divine Sword' special combat team and the 'sharp arrow' special combat team, to the Jianghuai battlefield......

Under the leadership of the First Special Operations Regiment and the Second Special Operations Regiment, the vanguard of the Dragon and Tiger Army attacking Sichuan passed through the Beichuan Mountains, which are known as the difficult to climb the blue sky on the Shu Road, in just one month, and directly pushed the front line to the city of Mianyang north of Chengdu.

After the army arrived in the Sichuan Basin, the airship airborne troops again parachuted hundreds of special forces into Mianyang City at night, and directly captured Mianyang City at night.

At this time, the surrounding area of Chengdu was not peaceful, and the 16-year-old heroine Liao Guanyin was leading tens of thousands of peasant uprisings to attack churches and towns around Chengdu, killing corrupt officials, eliminating the annihilation, beating local tyrants, dividing the land, and playing the slogan of 'restoring China'.

What is even more strange is that this peasant uprising team actually has a pistol team of more than 1,000 people, and everyone has two 20-round shell guns in their hands.

The reason why Liao Guanyin has so many excellent shell guns with good surnames, and the reason why he launched a peasant uprising, rather than the Boxer Rebellion in history, was directed by Wang Jundao, because the deputy leader of this uprising team is also a heroine - Qiu Jin!
