13. Miscalculation

"Sun Chuanfang is really here, according to the Prime Minister's intentions, we will unite East China to annihilate the enemy, let's talk about how to fight this battle?"

Xu Chongzhi is an absolute loyal to Sun Wen, and he executes Sun Wen's orders very thoroughly.

Jiang Weidao: "Big brother, the army in your hands now is the only absolutely loyal force that the prime minister relies on, and it cannot be moved lightly. What Sun Chuanfang wants is also northern Fujian and eastern Fujian, so we might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first. Besides, our army has come to Fujian and needs to rest and recuperate, I believe the prime minister can understand. ”

Yang Qingsen said: "Boss, the Shanghai Youth Gang has always supported the revolution, but it was bloodily suppressed by Li Bufan in East China, and the blood of the brothers must not be shed for such a counter-revolutionary executioner. In my opinion, we should let the East China Anhui family and the direct family fight to the death, anyway, they are all Beiyang warlords, and they are not a good thing. ”

"That is, once the Anhui Department comes to power, isn't that Duan Qirui the same as jumping out to implement his 'unification by force'? Isn't that going to hit us? ”

Xu Chongzhi was very hesitant and couldn't make up his mind.

Jiang Weiren smiled and said, "Why don't you send a telegram to the prime minister first and see what the prime minister says?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Chongzhi suddenly came to his senses and immediately adopted Jiang Weiren's opinion.

The telegram was sent to Sun Wen, and Sun Wen sent the telegram to Liao Zhongkai, Wang Jingwei and others, and said, "What do you think? ”

Wang Jingwei immediately said: "Li Bufan in East China is young and vigorous, ruthless, and the Hongmen organization in Shanghai has always supported the revolution, but it was baptized by this person's bloodbath. If we send troops to help them resist their direct lineage, I am afraid that comrades from similar backgrounds will be dissatisfied. ”

Zhang Jingjiang said lightly: "Prime Minister, I think this is the best opportunity for the revolutionary army to seize Fujian, and our army can take advantage of the defeat of the Beiyang warlords to seize Fujian in one fell swoop." Li Bufan suppressed the squires in East China, as long as he got the support of the Fujian squires, it would be easy to seize Fujian. ”

Liao Zhongkai nodded and said: "If this is the case, it will be very beneficial to the development of the revolution, and we will also obtain a powerful revolutionary base area, and if we take Fujian, we can obtain the support of the Fujian system as the main navy, and the help to the revolution will be especially huge." ”

Sun Wen frowned and said: "But if my army makes a move, there will be no alliance, and the direct line is powerful, and I am worried that it will be broken by each other." ”

Wang Jingwei said with a smile: "Sir, our cooperation with the Anhui warlords and the Feng family is just seeking skin with the tiger, how sincere can the two sides be?" At the beginning, the Anhui system was trying its best to suppress our revolution. Moreover, I think that the strength of the Feng system and the current Anhui East China Army combined, is not necessarily weaker than the direct line, so the direct line wants to win us over, and the Anhui department agrees to divide Fujian equally, which also shows that we dare not offend us too much, this is the best time for us to collect Fujian, if there is the assistance of the squire, then it is not more obvious to the world that our revolutionary army is the will of the people, and the expectations of the people? ”

Li Junlie said with fire in his heart: "Prime Minister, you must fight." We will first watch the fire from across the strait, let the troops directly related to Jiangxi continue to invest in Fujian, and then we will take the opportunity to seize Jiangxi. If we succeed, we will take over the land of the two provinces in one fell swoop, and the revolutionary army will inevitably be like a sky. ”

"Well said!" Sun Wen applauded loudly, he was very appreciative of Wang Jingwei's brilliant writing, not to mention the feat of sacrificing his life to assassinate the Manchu elites. Li Junlie was also his loyal follower and took the lead in responding to his second revolution. The most important thing is that Fujian is indeed very important, and obtaining Fujian is equivalent to obtaining the support of most of the Fujian Navy, so that he finally made up his mind.

In this era of chaos and separation, each force wants to consume the strength of others and take the opportunity to increase its own power.

Although Li Bufan has experienced the baptism and tempering of the war in Europe, and Wu Di is a traverser, after all, he is young and has experienced too few political struggles and schemes.

The main forces of the East China Army and Sun Chuanfang fought fiercely in Jian'ou in northern Fujian, and due to the lack of excellent middle-level officers, Li Huangshan had to fight a head-on battle with them, but the direct troops of the Beiyang Army have been fighting against the Southern Revolutionary Party, which has been fought in a hundred battles, and both sides suffered heavy casualties for a time.

"Damn it!" Li Bufan angrily tore the telegram to shreds.

Wu Di sneered: "A good army needs to rest, I think they also want to swallow Fujian alone, and now they are working as fishermen." ”

Li Bufan said solemnly: "Be a fisherman, dream." Lao Tzu miscalculated, the direct family also miscalculated, and Sun Wen also miscalculated. Lao Tzu didn't calculate that this battle for territory was so dark, but the direct line couldn't count that our East China Army had cloned tiger warriors as the backbone of the army, and it was not so easy for them to defeat. Lao Tzu will go and copy his back road now. ”

Wu Di was stunned and said, "Don't wait for Jiangxi to send reinforcements to Sun Chuanfang?" ”

Li Bufan said categorically: "Do you think Jiangxi is empty when Jiangxi sends reinforcements?" Unless the direct line is a fool. There is no doubt that if Jiangxi sends reinforcements, the direct family will definitely transfer the Hubei army into Jiangxi to assist in the defense. We're just going to take advantage of the moment and catch them off guard! ”

Wu Di said with some humility: "You are the boss, you have the final say." ”

Li Bufan said in a deep voice: "Li Hengshan, immediately inform the officers and students of the military academy that all those who have been enrolled in school for three months will join the army as a military practice, and it is time for them to see blood." Encountering this situation, he also became more aware of the importance of strength, and it was imperative to train officers, and it must be accelerated.

------------

More than a dozen planes roared in the sky, and the head of Jiujiang County was shrouded in the flames and smoke of the explosion, followed by planes diving and strafing.

The soldiers near the city gate fled in panic, while the East China Army outside the city had already launched a rapid charge and quickly captured the city gate.

When the defenders saw that the other party had entered the city and that there were planes bombing and strafing in the sky, he was no match for his men, so he did not hesitate to raise the white flag. The reason is very simple: I have a regiment and an army, so if I want to fight it, isn't it looking for death? What's more, everyone is the Beiyang Army, you incorporated me, and I did a lot of things to do to incorporate you, for example, the Anhui system was defeated last year, so wasn't it the direct line that incorporated more than 100,000 troops?

This is the portrayal of the civil war, if you can win, you will fight, and if your strength is too poor, you will withdraw as long as there are no special circumstances, and if you can't withdraw, you will surrender.

"Hukou County has secretly arranged for people to repair the airstrip, the 31st Division (three armies and one division) stayed in Jiujiang, held on at all costs, blocked all reinforcements from Hubei, and sent a battalion to guard the Hukou County Airport opposite, leaving you ten planes to assist in the defense."

"The 32nd Division, the 33rd Division followed me south and went straight to Nanchang."

Although Li Air Force, commander of the Third Army, is an air force commander, it does not mean that he does not have any knowledge of the army. These experts instilled that the experience of air combat after several hundred years is not suitable for modern times, but when the Wu enemy crosses, they don't know where they will cross, so these experts are especially made up for the mechanical knowledge of the era of great industrial development, and the Li Air Force is very knowledgeable about the tactics of the piston aircraft and jet aircraft era, among which there are also air force fire support for the enemy, etc., and also understand some other military operations, and after World War II, they all pay attention to the three-dimensional war of air and ground integration, for which Li Air Force Su Yue'an is an air force expert. But commanding the Army is fully qualified relative to the battlefields of the early stages of World War II.

Jiangxi in Li Bufan and Wu enemy's planning, is related to the rise of the Chinese navy of the important place, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can be navigable 10,000 tons of giant ships, here can fully meet the development and accumulation of the naval shipbuilding industry in the early stage, and in this inland enemy can not be destroyed, because China's navy is too weak, once a country with ulterior motives to organize the development of China's naval shipbuilding industry, provoke and provoke a war, if the shipyard is on the seaside, it is completely possible to be destroyed by the enemy, not to mention the loss of property, The loss of talent and the delay in time are unacceptable.

There is no suitable and well-protected shipyard in East China, and submarines can only be assembled secretly by ordering parts from abroad, but if you take Jiangxi, you can build a shipyard in the inland and produce it under strict protection. Originally, if the direct family did not make a move to Fujian, Li Bufan was not ready to conflict with the direct family at this time, but since the direct family had made a move, then he was unceremoniously ready to take Jiangxi. He is not afraid of going to war, although there are only 12 divisions in East China after the reorganization of the Anhui troops, almost 150,000 regular troops, but every county has a garrison battalion, and every prefecture-level city or region has a garrison regiment, this is the reserve formed with the idea of the Wu enemy at this stage, although the formation time is only a few months, but it has barely completed the training of recruits, so there are more than 100,000 reserves, there are tiger clones as the backbone of the grassroots officers, the troops will not cross the fight at once, and the production of weapons and ammunition is not less than that of the direct line. It's hard to say whether you win or lose.

But the East China Army of the Anhui system suddenly made a move against Jiangxi, but the whole country was shaken.

Duan Qirui, who was originally cultivating in Yanjing, had relaxed when he learned that the East China Army had landed in Fuzhou safely, after all, Fujian was the territory of the Anhui system, so it was okay if Li Houji died, after all, he wanted to take refuge in the direct line. But Xu Shuzheng ran to tell him in a hurry that the East China Army had attacked Jiangxi.

"How so? Could it be that Li Bufan's kid wants to have another battle in Zhiwan? Duan Qirui was very anxious, the Anhui family was defeated before, how could it be a direct opponent in East China alone? If this is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xu Shuzheng sneered: "Then Li Bufan doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, so he shouldn't have handed over Anhui to him in the first place." ”

Duan Qirui shook his head and said, "There is no need to say this anymore." I think there must be a reason for that, you say, why? ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly: "The direct family appointed Sun Chuanfang as the overseer of Fujian in the name of the center, and fought with the East China Army that entered Fujian. But even if this is the case, it shouldn't tear up the face with the direct family, where does our Anhui department have this strength at present? ”

Duan Qirui smiled and said, "This kid is decisive. Now that the fight has started, it is useless to regret it now, so I can only resign myself to fate. The implication is a sense of helplessness. In fact, he doesn't know, if he really encounters this situation, will he fight or not?
