The classification is strongly pushed, the virgin pushes, asks for red tickets, asks for collections, and asks for comments!!

The 150,000 Beiyang troops in Zhengzhou rushed to Shangqiu and Zhoukou, Yuan Shikai remembered very well the two places of Shangqiu and Zhoukou, where he lost the troops of four towns last time, and this time he wanted to return the shame to East China.

The East China army stationed in Shangqiu did not notice that the danger was slowly coming, in their opinion, the Beiyang Army and the revolutionary army were some garbage, like when they won more with less, those Beiyang troops were vulnerable, and they were very arrogant, although Jiang Fangzhen's order had come down, but these East China officers did not pay too much attention.

The Beiyang Army marched urgently and secretly all the way, and they wanted to attack the East China Army before they knew it, so that the chances of victory were greater.

The defenders of the East China Army in Shangqiu were patrolling leisurely in the trenches of the defense line, the garrison behind the defense line was training, the soldiers standing in the patrol tower were looking around with high-powered binoculars, and suddenly saw a large group of things moving in a hidden woods a thousand meters ahead, and then took a closer look at whether it was people, or wearing the military uniforms of the Beiyang Army, these Beiyang troops came straight here, and the soldiers immediately sounded the signal of the enemy attack, "Woo~~~" "Woo~~~~" The sound spread throughout the barracks, and the patrolling soldiers immediately began to be nervous and martial law, And the trained soldiers immediately rushed to get their weapons, and then urgently assembled, and the process was completed in less than three minutes, only as soon as they were ready for the enemy to attack. The East China Army responded in a hurry, but they relied on the trenches and began to fiercely counterattack the Beiyang Army.

Although the number of the East China Army was only about 30,000, they were in a stalemate with the Beiyang Army with advanced weapons and trenches under the attack of the 100,000-strong army of the Beiyang Army. Several battalion commanders in the Beiyang Army asked their superiors Feng Guozhang: "Why do the military commanders work so hard, the weapons of the East China Army are more advanced than ours, the soldiers are constantly falling, and our casualties are too great." ”

Feng Guozhang: "President Yuan gave a death order, Shangqiu must be attacked, otherwise there will be no second chance, this time it is either East China or I die, don't care about me, the president is still recruiting troops." ”

The number of people on both sides was constantly decreasing, and an East China soldier said to his battalion commander: "What's going on with these Beiyang troops today, they are all so desperate?" ”

The battalion commander spat out: "It seems that Beiyang has made up his mind, they want to take advantage of the chairman's serious injury to get rid of us, I think they did it, we fought for the chairman, avenge the chairman, kill!" ”

When these nearby East China soldiers heard that they wanted to avenge the chairman, they fought the enemy with their lives, and slowly spread throughout the East China Army, and they were all very angry and rushed upwards desperately.

Suddenly, a shocking explosion came from the East China camp, and a soldier ran over and cried and said to the person in charge, Li Yun: "Commander Li, just now a few soldiers guarding the arsenal have mutinied, they suddenly rushed into the warehouse and set fire to all the ammunition inside, and they also died there. ”

Li Hao suddenly felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning, and his body almost fell to the ground as soon as he became weak, but fortunately he suddenly recovered again, and soon he sent someone to investigate, and he himself quickly asked Jiang Fangzhen for help.

Jiang Fangzhen immediately spread out the map after receiving Li Hao's request for help, and then told Li Hao to immediately retreat to the border of Anhui while fighting, where reinforcements would pick them up, and at the same time let the defenders of the Anhui border cooperate with Li Hao's army to hold Anhui.

When the Beiyang Army attacked Shangqiu, Zhoukou's Beiyang Army also began to attack, because Zhoukou's defenders discovered the Beiyang Army in time and made full preparations, so the two sides have been in a stalemate. Later, the person in charge of Zhoukou learned that Shangqiu's defeat was due to the defection of the internal soldiers and the blowing up of the arsenal, so he paid great attention to guarding the arsenal and really caught a few spies. The 50,000 Beiyang Army and the 20,000 East China Army entered the stalemate, because the East China Army had advanced weapons, and although the Beiyang Army doubled in number, it could not help the East China Army.

There is also a 50,000-strong Beiyang Army fighting with the East China Army in Zaozhuang, and the Beiyang Army is frantically attacking even if its comrades are injured, the northern defense line is basically at war, and the Beiyang Army has the upper hand in general.

Jiang Fangzhen at the Hefei Protective Line Headquarters was thinking about something, and the generals below were also thinking about something, and after a while, Jiang Fangzhen stood up and looked at the sand table and said: "Let the army on the front line of Zaozhuang retreat while fighting, and then secretly gather to Xuzhou, let the defenders near Shangqiu and the army on the northern border of Anhui slowly retreat to Maozhou after consuming the enemy's vital strength as much as possible with the Beiyang Army on the border, Zhoukou must be defended, I want to form a battlefield in Maozhou and Xuzhou, lure the Beiyang Army to concentrate in these two places, and then fight a decisive battle with the Beiyang Army, It is time to completely solve the Beiyang Army going south and prepare the armored forces. ”

Then Jiang Fangzhen was looking at the front line of Xinyang: "The battle of Xinyang has begun, we want to play a virtual and real game with the revolutionary army in Xinyang, and then slowly retreat to the area of Shangcheng County, build a big pit there and bury the revolutionary army, and also send an armored division to let the reinforcements wait there, let the soldiers on the front line experience the bloodshed of the battlefield, after all, the soldiers have not experienced the battle since the last war, let me let those recruits go to the front line to fight, and the military medical troops must be there." As for the troops of Ezhou and Huangshi, they slowly retreated to Yingshan County, and a battlefield was to be arranged in Yingshan County. The defenders in Jiangxi should hold on and not allow the revolutionary armies of Hunan, Guangdong, and Fujian to cross the border of Jiangxi, and Zhejiang should be prepared to attack Fujian to support Jiangxi as soon as Jiangxi is attacked by Fujian. The three naval fleets began to move, cutting off the foreign aid of the Beiyang Army, attacking their ports and bombarding Tianjin, Fuzhou and Guangzhou to the south, and Wuhan and Chongqing to the west. ”

After hearing this, everyone was also very confused, and one of them said: "Why don't you attack directly, we are no worse than them, we will definitely be able to win against them." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Jiang Fangzhen: "This is so that we can be fully prepared, according to the original plan, we will not do it until the end of the year, but now the chairman's coma makes us very passive, so we are mainly defensive at this stage, and the chairman will decide after the chairman wakes up." Now there is still a very important thing to do, our army can no longer have a numerical advantage, for the sake of future planning, I have decided to officially launch the conscription program originally scheduled for two months, and our total strength will exceed one million. ”

Everyone nodded, this point is indeed ahead of schedule, the soldiers on the front line are struggling now, the faster the recruitment, the better.

Jiang Fangzhen: "Let's all go and get busy, secretly implement the plan I just said, and this big battle depends on you, please." ”

After everyone dispersed, Jiang Fangzhen came to the telegraph room and said to the telegraph operator: "Send a telegram to General Cai, the governor of Yunnan, saying that the chairman has passed the dangerous period and will wake up soon, and let him launch an attack on the revolutionary army in Guangxi and Sichuan, so as to relieve the pressure on Jiangxi." "Yes"

Cai Yi, who was in Kunming, had long known that Jiang Fangzhen would look for him, so he quickly replied to Jiang Fangzhen: "It is the hope of the whole country that Chairman Qin is fine, I hope that Brother Jiang can be cautious, look forward to meeting Brother Jiang again, and I will carry out the order lightly." ”

The revolutionary army fought with the East China Army in Xinyang for a long time, and the casualties of the revolutionary army were very large, but because the East China Army had a lot of newcomers, the casualties were also a lot, and the battle between Ezhou and Huangshi was also in white heat. After receiving the order from the headquarters, the East China Army began to retreat slowly, which made the revolutionary army very excited.

After the Nationalist Government ordered the revolutionary armies of Hunan, Guangdong, and Fujian to begin attacking Jiangxi, Cai Yi sent a direct telegram to the whole country: Chairman Qin of East China is a great man who truly serves the country and the people, and the achievements of the four provinces of East China today are far above the governments of Wuhan and Beiyang, and they are like a rising star of hope for the Chinese nation. Fearing that the matter of the chairman would be inescapable of being involved, I announced that I would formally break away from the government of the Republic of China and join the government of East China, and that I would establish the East China and Southwest China Region in accordance with the orders of General Staff Officer Chiang and Vice Chairman Chen, and that I would formally become the commander-in-chief of the East China and Southwest China Military Region, and that I would declare war on the Beiyang Government and the Republic of China Government from this time.

A telegram from Cai Que shocked the north and south of the river, the Nationalist Government was very panicked, Cai Que actually took refuge in the East China Government in such a situation, Sun Cannon was very puzzled, he urgently ordered the Guangdong Revolutionary Army to join the Guangxi Army to suppress Cai Ng, and 100,000 of the 200,000 Sichuan troops who were preparing to go out of Sichuan to Xinyang will be transferred to Yunnan to suppress Cai Ng.

Yuan Shikai was also afraid for a while when he saw it, and quickly ordered the army to guard against Shanxi and step up the attack on the East China Army.

The people of the whole country were very puzzled after learning that Cai Ye joined East China, and many people of insight noticed something, but they did not know what Cai Ye meant. The revolutionary army that was fighting knew that their morale had dropped a lot after the fire in their backyard, while the East China Army was shocked that there were still people joining East China at this time, which made them very happy.

When those high-level officials in East China learned about it, they immediately asked Jiang Fangzhen. Jiang Fangzhen told them that Cai Ye was persuaded by the chairman to join East China not long ago, so there was this scene, and everyone was shocked that Qin Yu had already made arrangements.

As for the assassination incident that Cai Ye said was a premeditated conspiracy, it is very likely that the Beiyang government and the Republic of China government made the four provinces in East China boil, although these two governments stood up and said that they did not do it themselves, but the people of the four provinces did not believe it, and then thought of the two parties suddenly attacking East China after Qin Yu's accident made them believe that these two governments did it, and the people of the four provinces were very resentful of the Republic of China government and the Beiyang government, which made Jiang Fangzhen's conscription order just released There are countless people to sign up, the conscription was full in less than three days.
