Yangzhou, located between 119°01' and 119°54'E longitude and 32°15' and 33°25'N; Yangzhou city is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with an east longitude of 119°26′ and a north latitude of 32°24′. Yangzhou City is bordered by the Yangtze River in the southeast and south, and faces Zhenjiang City across the river; The northwest is adjacent to Chuzhou City and Huai'an City in Anhui Province; It is connected to Nanjing City in the west and southwest; It is bordered by the city of Huai'an to the north; It is adjacent to Yancheng City and Taizhou City in the east.

Yangzhou has 80.5 kilometers of Yangtze River shoreline, and there are 3 districts and 1 city along the coast, including Jiangdu, Guangling, Hanjiang and Yizheng; The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the hinterland, connecting four lakes from north to south, including Baima Lake, Baoying Lake, Gaoyou Lake and Shao Bo Lake.

From here, it is quite close to support Anhui. At this time, Anhui was a mess by Old Man Deng, southern Anhui was basically under the rule of the Anhui system, and many places in central Anhui were recovered by the Anhui system, and the Yangtze River flowing through the Anhui boundary was really no safe place to stop.

No, as soon as Wu Peifu, as the commander, gave the order, the old man Deng was miserable, not to mention that the troops were attacked head-on by the Jiangsu Army, and on the way to retreat, they were bombed by bombers and suffered heavy losses, and the children of southern Anhui who were brought to Jiangbei lost more than half. The Zhejiang army that came to support this will be blocked north of the Yangtze River, and can only look across the river.

Ten days! Old Deng, as long as you hold on for ten days, I will definitely save you. When Lu Dujun heard about the battle situation in Anhui, he almost fell headlong. It was fine a few days ago, how could it be defeated so quickly? Could it be that the direct team is learning "blitzkrieg"? How to start a war faster than one another! Hurriedly took a telegram to Old Man Deng, telling Old Man Deng, wait for me, you must wait for me!

As for the ten-day period, Lu Dujun is also quite sure, Suqi has a navy, don't I have it? At the beginning of the electrification of the Lu Governor's army, it was supported by the navy led by Lin Jianzhang. In order to help the Anhui warlords maintain their territory in Zhejiang and Shanghai, Lin Jianzhang sent people to oppose the cruiser "Haichou," the destroyer "Jiankang," the gunboat "Yongji," the transport ship "Jing'an," the torpedo boat "Chen," and the torpedo boat "Lie" to surrender to Zhejiang and Luzhou.

At the same time, because of Zhao Yun's relationship, Lu Dujun began to prepare the air team early, and recently purchased six "BR14" fighter-bombers from France, and set up the Zhejiang Aviation Training Institute in Jianqiao, Hangzhou, and appointed the famous pilot Zhu Binhou as the director to recruit students for flight training. Before the start of the war, the Zhejiang Air Force was formally established, with 14 aircraft of various types, and Zhu Bin was the captain-elect.

This will hear that the old man Deng is in trouble, and immediately contact Zhu Xi in Nanjing, hoping to borrow the airport in Nanjing to rush to Anhui.

"County magistrate, we can't borrow the airport!" When Xu Fatzi heard Zhu Xi ask whether to borrow the airport, he expressed his resolute opposition.

"Tell me why!" Zhao Yun was noncommittal about this.

"Now Wu Dashuai has not moved us, it is because our current position is unclear, it is neutral, and it is more to Wu Dashuai, if once the airport is borrowed, it is a clear position, and we will be dragged into this war immediately."

After a pause, Xu Fatzi looked at Zhao Yun's expressionless face, and continued, "Why didn't Wu Dashuai press the whole army, if he did that, Commander-in-Chief Deng would definitely not be able to last ten days, he left most of the army in Yangzhou, that is, to wait for you to make a decision, once you join the Anhui system, then the five divisions and six brigades in Wu Dashuai's hands will directly cross the river, and his descendant 50,000 troops will follow." At that time, Nanjing is in danger! ”

"Hehe, Deputy County Magistrate Xu is too worried, if we don't move now, do you think Wu Dashuai will let us go in the future? We just have the intention of cooperating with him, and we haven't signed an agreement yet, and when we are ready to do it, he can also see our strength, otherwise why would he pay us such a big price, and it would be more convenient to level us in one fell swoop?

Passing on my order to allow the planes of the Zhejiang army to stop in Nanjing, I not only had to let them stop, but also had to replenish their weapons and ammunition. Inform Zhu Xi that Nanjing City does not have to be defended, human lives are more valuable than the city, if Wu Dashuai comes to attack and he loses the city, I will not settle accounts with him, as long as people come back! Zhao Yun knew that Wu Peifu had been fighting too well in Shandong and northern Jiangsu recently, and there was almost no one in the border of Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, and the tone of negotiation with himself had changed from a good talk before to a high-spirited one.

"This kid really borrowed it?!"

Not only was the Qi Overseer stunned by Zhao Yun's behavior of borrowing the airport, but even Du Xiqi and Jiang Kui were also stunned, they just wanted to scare Zhao Yun before, after all, Wu Peifu didn't let the Qi Overseer Army do anything to Zhao Yun, and he didn't care about it, if he didn't let the Qi Overseer take his breath, even an honest person would be rude.

But I didn't expect that this time I didn't bluff the other party, Zhao Yun's stunned young man really borrowed the airport, so the next thing will be difficult, is it to cross the river? Or when you don't see it?

Crossing the river, it will definitely not work, knock the other party's airfield! Wu Peifu thought to himself, Jiang Kui was the commander of the Air Force after all, although he couldn't figure out what Zhao Yun was thinking in his head, but the opponent who threatened his plane must not stay.

Jiang Kui, who received the order, spat out, "It's okay, it's time to teach that kid a lesson, so disrespectful to our seniors, where do we put our faces?" ”

A day later, "Bastard! What a bastard! Jiang Kui scolded all the way and walked all the way into the conference hall. Today, two planes were sent to bomb the airport in Nanjing, but they were bombed out by more than a dozen Fokker fighters from World War I. As a result, Jiang Kui was angry and added three more planes, ready to demonstrate, but unexpectedly, the other party sent more than 50 planes in one go, and also flew over Yangzhou, which made Jiang Kui remember that the other party was originally selling arms, and he should not compare it with the inventory of arms dealers.

After these planes flew over Yangzhou, they did not return home, but went to escort a batch of hundreds of transport planes to the Yangtze River section of Anhui Province and gave them some medicine and food.

In this regard, the generals of the Qi Overseer Army can only be regarded as not seeing. What can you do if you see it? Could it be to declare war with Zhao Yun, and then let those transport planes load explosives to bombard themselves?

But at the same time as they had a headache, Zhao Yun also had a headache. Actually, this time Zhao Yun originally wanted to get Old Man Deng back, but Old Man Deng only replied with a telegram, if I can't get my 7,000 children in southern Anhui back, I won't go anywhere old man!

Seeing that the old man Deng had a bad temper again, Zhao Yun could only be speechless, if he intervened, more than 7,000 people would die, and it would be a big brawl in the four provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi and Zhejiang.

It's easy to shoot, but it's hard to stop, and now I can only look at the Zhejiang army to get rid of Zhao Yun, who doesn't want to make a big move.

The situation of the Zhejiang army at the moment is not much better, not to mention the Zhejiang army that is blocked in southern Anhui, they will not be able to go anywhere for a while, they can only stare at the Soviet army on the other side, of course, these Soviet troops are now Wu Peifu's army.

At this time, Lu Dujun felt that he was running out of soldiers again. Zhejiang and Shanghai originally had four divisions and three brigades, namely the 10th Central Division, the 4th Central Division, the 1st Zhejiang Division, the 2nd Zhejiang Division, the 6th Central Mixed Brigade, the 1st Zhejiang Mixed Brigade, and the 2nd Zhejiang Mixed Brigade. Since Zang Zhiping and Yang Huazhao were reinforced, two more brigades were added, plus police, guerrilla teams, Ningbo Fort guards, reserve troops, etc., with a total strength of 67,200 people.

Zang Zhiping was the best general among the Anhui warlords, Yang Huazhao was resourceful, and Zang and Yang were both elite divisions that had been in battle for a long time, and their reinforcements made Lu Yongxiang like a tiger. On July 4, they were intercepted by Sun Chuanfang near Jingdezhen, and fought hard for two days, with injuries on both sides. Lu Dujun was worried that the Zang Zhiping Division of the Fujian Second Division and the Yang Huazhao Division, the commander of the Fujian Third Division, had a total of more than 6,000 troops, and the troops were weak, so he withdrew them to Wuyuan and transferred the Zhejiang supplementary brigade of Adjutant Sun (this guy was promoted again) to strengthen his strength.

That is, the arrival of Adjutant Sun brought bad news, Xia Chao, then the chief of police of Zhejiang Province, had a large number of armed police (a total of 10,800 people) in his hands. These armed police are well-armed and quite strong. "Although Xia Chao is a short man of less than four feet, he is ambitious, and he always has the ambition to replace Lu", and several overseers before Lu were also folded in his hands. Lu Dujun was like a thorn in Xia Chao's back, so he had to increase the escort force to guard against it, which was invisibly like adding one horse and subtracting one horse in the "Three Kingdoms Killing", which consumed 20,000 men and horses in the Hangzhou area for nothing.

And the nearly 10,000 troops stranded on the border of Anhui cannot be withdrawn, if they withdraw, won't it be equivalent to giving up Old Man Deng?

In this way, the Lu Inspector Army had less than 40,000 men and horses, and because Suqi had a navy, the deployment of defenses in southern Zhejiang and the coast consumed nearly 10,000 men and horses of the Lu Inspector's Army. Due to the proximity of Shanghai and Jiangsu, in order to prevent Suqi, Lu Dujun also specially sent 5,000 men and horses to support, so now the team of Lu Dujun and Sun Chuanfang is only in the early 20,000s.

In addition to his own Second Division, Sun Chuanfang was supported by the Anhui Fifth Brigade, the Jiangxi Second Brigade and a local Jiangxi army, which was only slightly less than Lu Dujun in numbers.

But there are more problems that worry Lu Dujun, although Xia Chao and Sun Chuanfang have already raised eyebrows, but this is not the most headache for Lu Dujun. Adjutant Sun intercepted a suspicious person on the way, but in fact, this was only noticed by Adjutant Sun when Zhao Yun left someone with Adjutant Sun.

After this man was captured, he confessed a secret after a little torture. Zhang Guowei, who was the commander of the artillery regiment of the Second Division of Zhejiang at the time, and Sun Chuanfang were classmates of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and the two had a good personal relationship. Zhang Yuan concurrently served as the director of the Zhejiang Survey Bureau, and because Lu Dujun wanted to install his cronies, he dismissed Zhang's part-time job under the pretext of using the excuse, so Zhang was very dissatisfied with Lu Dujun.
