Chapter 125 100,000 British troops attack
Blank and his party returned to Shanghai in a breath of anger, and immediately reported the content of his negotiations with Wei Chendong to China, and finally directly said that he wanted to let this Chinese taste the methods of the British Empire.
Blank's wish was immediately realized, and the British authorities agreed to Blank's decision after a brief discussion, and handed over all the affairs of the matter to Blank, and the British political axe only needed to see the unknown number of cultural relics, as for what means he Blank used, they didn't care, they only cared about the result.
After receiving the order from the headquarters to act cheaply, the big stone in Blank's heart was finally put down, and he was ruthless in his heart, and secretly swore that he must let Wei Chendong beg for mercy in front of him. After taking over the task, Blanc immediately found a few high-level killers, and then sent them to the Great Northwest, whether he could kill Wei Chendong or not, the most important thing was to scare him, first give him a dismount, and then scare him again through other means Wei Chendong, I believe he will make him submit.
These killers are all yellow people, and when placed in the crowd, no one will suspect that they are Chinese. Several people dressed up in disguise, hid their whereabouts all the way, and successfully arrived in the northwest, temporarily settled in a small town not far from the Yanhuang Army's station, rested for a while, and began to secretly investigate, but what made them depressed was that after a period of tracking, they didn't even see Wei Chendong's ghost, because Wei Chendong had been busy training the Yanhuang Army, so he didn't have time to wander outside.
If you can't find the protagonist, this assassination plan had to be aborted, and then these killers thought of finding some other generals to start, and I believe the effect is similar, but the same, it is difficult to see these people outside, because these generals are also studying hard in the army, and they dare not slack off, because Shibei Sanshu, it is possible to be surpassed by others.
Just when several killers were about to change their plans, on a dark and windy night, the restaurant where they lived was raided by a group of men in black, and before they could resist, they were disarmed by the men in black, and then secretly escorted to a small forest, and the men in black did not interrogate them at all, and directly buried these guys alive, unknowingly.
Blank, who waited in Shanghai for a period of time and couldn't hear from him, knew that most of the things were yellow, and he also knew that Wei Chendong didn't go out much, and it seemed that the assassination plan could not be implemented.
As if the British did not know about this provocative move of the British, no one came forward to explain, and they were still developing on their own. Wei Chendong did not respond, Blank did not want to delay, fought hard and beat up, gathered a force of nearly 100,000 people from the Asian colonies and Hong Kong and other concessions, the troops were quickly formed, Lieutenant General Johnson served as the commander, led the whole army to board the ship from Shanghai, all the way west, until the ship could not sail before letting the soldiers come down, and then the mechanized mighty rush towards the Yan and Huang army.
Wei Chendong was well aware of the British army's actions, and soon after, the Yan and Huang troops publicly warned that no force was allowed to penetrate into Gansu without the consent of the Yan and Huang forces, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
The British laughed at this warning, naturally did not bother to pay attention to it, and still buried their heads in the territory of Gansu.
For the battle between the British army and the Yan and Huang army, Chiang Kai-shek's political axe is not managed at all, and basically can't be managed, the British naturally don't want to provoke, the Yan and Huang army are high and the emperor is far away, and the power is not small, although Chiang Kai-shek is not very interested in it, he wants to suppress it, at this time the British are willing to help with this, he is too late to be happy, as for the final result, no matter what, Chiang Kai-shek's political axe is to reap the benefits of the fisherman, the Yan and Huang army is defeated, the national political axe has one less competitor, and the British are defeated, It was a win-win outcome to deal a blow to the arrogance of imperialism in China, so the Nationalist Axe simply moved a stool and sat on the side to watch the war.
They are afraid that after the British destroy the Yan and Huang, they will not be lazy in China, so that the big cake of China will be robbed by the British, but now it is Wei Chendong who offended the British first, if the political axe is obstructed, the British will definitely not be happy, and there will be a big contradiction, so they decided to wait and see what happens after this battle, and they don't believe that the British army is a second-line force of 100,000, After this battle, how big waves can be turned.
The British army entered the Longnan area of Gansu from Yucheng through Shaanxi and from Hanzhong City, rested in Wudu for a while, and then continued north. The main force of the Yan and Huang Army was not there at all, and the troops deployed in the Longnan area were also very limited, and the garrison, after being recognized by the headquarters of the Yan and Huang Army, decisively abandoned Longnan and went all the way north, followed by the British army.
At present, the distribution of the Yan and Huang armies in Gansu is that there are about 100,000 people in Jiuquan, about 200,000 in Ganbei and other Ganzhong areas such as Lanzhou and Baiyin, and more than 100,000 people in Qingyang, Pingliang and other Gandong regions.
Knowing that he couldn't hold it, Wei Chendong simply gave up the defense, anyway, Gansu is so big, and the tired division of the British army came from afar, so they could slowly catch up in the back.
Johnson knew that the purpose of this campaign was not to occupy Gansu, but to eliminate the Yan and Huang army and capture Wei Chendong alive. Johnson's army pointed straight to Lanzhou, because it was the base camp of the Yan and Huang army, and if it was captured, the battle would be at least half won, but to reach Lanzhou, it would have to pass through the Dingxi area in the middle.
Out of the Longnan area, Johnson did not hesitate to command the army into the Dingxi area, all the way to Zhangxian, and then ordered the army to start resting.
As the main forces of the two sides got closer and closer, the tension before the war rose sharply, and civilians were evacuated in large numbers under the organization and propaganda of the Yan and Huang Army.
Seeing the retreat of the Yan and Huang Army, the corners of Johnson's mouth couldn't help but smile, according to the scout's report, there was almost no Yan and Huang Army within a hundred miles of the British army.
Could it be that Wei Chendong wants to defend Lanzhou? If that's the case, then it's best, Johnson even has some expectations, their colonial garrison army, there is no war at all in peacetime, World War I mainly took place in Europe, so they didn't catch up, it is very difficult to be promoted in peacetime, it is not easy to get this opportunity, Johnson also wants to show well, although his position is already very high, but the treatment and other aspects must not be compared with the domestic troops, if this battle is fought, there will definitely be a lot of benefits, I heard that Wei Chendong looted a lot of cultural relics in India, and when the time came, he would have swallowed some privately, who would have known that with military merits and wealth, this beauty difference can be described as a pie falling from the sky.
At this moment, Johnson still didn't take the Yan and Huang Army seriously, it's no wonder, not to mention the Yan and Huang Army, a warlord who had just been established for a few years, even if it was the whole of Asia, the army that could make the British look at me was afraid that no army could get into their eyes except for himself, even if he said himself, they would not necessarily put it in their eyes, thinking that when the British soldiers swept through Asia, he didn't know what he was doing, although he caught up with a lot later, but the British never put himself on the same line as themselves, It always felt like they were a level below the European powers.
After resting for a few days and reorganizing the troops, Johnson was a little impatient and immediately mobilized the army and headed straight for Lanzhou.
At the headquarters of the Yanhuang Army, Wei Chendong and the main generals were all gathered together, and the intelligence officers were running around, and telegrams were passed on one by one.
"Where are the British now?" Spit out a puff of smoke rings, Wei Chendong twisted his eyebrows and asked, although he is not afraid of the British army, but after all, the Yanhuang Army has been established for a short time, and it has never fought a real battle, so Wei Chendong does not dare to pack the ticket to achieve what kind of results.
"Deputy Marshal, the main force of the British army has now reached Caizi Town, Longxi County", Chief of Staff Xiao Dingjun said in a condensed voice, obviously everyone has no bottom about this battle.
"Our army has already rushed to the predetermined place at the normal marching pace, and if there is no serious accident, all the troops participating in the battle will arrive on time by nine o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest," Xiao Dingjun added.
"Well, that's good, the battle is fought by people, as long as we do a good job of preparation, and dare to fight and rush when the time comes, I don't believe that the British are three-headed and six-armed, even if it is, we can cut them down the stick", slammed down the cigarette butt, Wei Chendong bounced up from his seat at once, slapped the table, roared in a low voice, and his eyes released a stream of fine light.
"Yes, our army will win, Yan Huang is invincible", as if infected, all the generals stood up together, and shouted excitedly, during this time, what kind of hardship they have not suffered, they have almost never died, who is afraid of whom, at this time Wei Chendong mentioned the confidence in his heart, their blood suddenly filled the entire chest, and the nervous mood was also relaxed a lot, this battle can be described as a battle of life and death in the Yan and Huang Kingdom, if you lose, you will have nothing, win, the general will be the world, from now on this place in Gansu, any force wants to step in, I am afraid you have to think about three points, Therefore, this battle can only be won, not defeated.
Next, Wei Chendong discussed the details with the staff generals, and then announced the disbandment, asking everyone to prepare their own affairs, and they must not make low-level mistakes.
