Chapter 120

When night falls, Shanghai is still noisy. The saltwater girl on the dock appeared with poor quality incense powder, pestering every foreign sailor who passed by, hoping to make a business so that he could have something to eat tomorrow. The coolies on the wharf are getting off work in twos and threes, the compradors in dresses are hurrying, and the devils who look like dogs are still walking proudly on the streets with bright lights.

The war that was going on in Xuzhou to determine the future and fate of the country did not seem to feel much tension in Shanghai. The female gentlemen in the Changsan Hall still have to open the door to do business.

The wine and food of "Dexingtang" are good, and Chen Qimei has no intention of swallowing it. A table of dishes, chopsticks did not move a few times. Huang Yin and Li Pingshu, who were drinking together, also had a little ugly expressions. Back to Chapter 120 Decisive Battle (1) Chen Qimei, who was engaged in the second revolution in Shanghai in the autumn of survival, unexpectedly found that she couldn't eat in Shanghai, and even Li Pingshu lost the meaning of trying her best to help in the past.

Huang Yin was the same as before, but he claimed to be a division in his hand, but in fact he only had more than 3,000 guns. Wang Yiting, Shen Manyun and other local gentry avoided Chen Qimei, and Chen Dudu, who was calling for wind and rain in Shanghai, returned to Shanghai and gave him a cold reception.

Nanjing and Wuhan are negotiating, and Chen Qimei has the intention to prepare some capital for Sun in Shanghai, but the reality is that he can't make any effort at all.

"Fang Fuguo, this little deflated three, why didn't he see that he was so ambitious before. Not only do you want to eat some Beiyang, but you also have to swallow it in one gulp. Chen Qimei picked up the wine glass and drank the stuffy wine, and the two people on the side didn't know how to persuade her.

The pace of change in domestic politics is dizzying. Xuzhou lost too quickly, and the little capital in the hands of the Kuomintang shrank by more than half in the blink of an eye, so what to bargain with Fang Jianxiong. After a period of "Republic of China", Song Jiaoren's death allowed the Kuomintang to see Yuan Shikai's true face and Fang Jianxiong's ambition clearly. When he was in Nanjing, Chen Qimei strongly persuaded Sun Wen not to accept Fang Jianxiong's cooperation plan, and Sun Wen did not listen to the decisive battle in Chapter 120 (1) The Autumn Fruit of Survival. Insist on negotiations with the Government of the United Autonomous Region.

Now it seems that Sun and Chen were wrong, and neither of them expected Xuzhou to be lost so soon. Unprepared Nanjing side. In a hurry, Chen Qimei was asked to come to Shanghai to reorganize the army in Shanghai as the capital of the Kuomintang. Back to Shanghai. It can be said that there is no money, and few people are willing to do it with Chen Qimei.

Zhang Jingjiang, who was on crutches, was late, and when Chen Qimei saw him come in, she quickly stood up and said, "Second brother!" Great work! ”

Zhang Jingjiang waved his hand heavily in front of him and said, "Don't mention this." As he spoke, he took out a bill of exchange, put it on the table, and said, "Ince, that's all I can take, there's something you might not like to hear." ”

Chen Qimei's heart was cold, and she roughly guessed what he was going to say, so she nodded respectfully and said, "Second brother, please speak." "For Zhang Jingjiang, Chen Qimei can't afford to hold it at all. Sun Wendu called Zhang the second brother. It was probably the later Jiang who could reach the point of turning his face and not recognizing people.

"Ince, if Fang Fuguo wins in Xuzhou, don't fight with him for this world." Zhang Jingjiang dropped a sentence, turned around and left. Chen Qimei, who had a gloomy face, watched him go away. picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink, but slammed it on the ground again, and I didn't know who was scolding, so I burst out of the sentence: "Book that." ”

Zhang Jingjiang sent a bill of exchange of 50,000 yuan, and the 3,000 people under Huang Yin had a month's salary. Zhang Jingjiang, who went bankrupt to support the revolution in history. There seems to be some subtle changes in this space-time. Probably because of the comparison, after Zhang Jingjiang compared, he found that Fang Jianxiong had an absolute advantage no matter from which angle.

Zhang Jingjiang, who does not have much fame and fortune, can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

Outside Xuzhou, after a gloomy day, the first snow of the winter finally arrived. It snowed heavily overnight, and by the time the sky was twilight, the earth was already snow-white. The wounds inflicted by the brutal war were temporarily covered by snow.

Rubbing his hands, Yang drunk took a sip, and looked back at the brothers behind him, one by one making final preparations. Zhang Jingyao came out from the side, with an extra silver wine jug in his hand, and handed it over with a flattering smile: "Battalion commander, take a sip to warm up." This bird weather, just say it, freeze to death. ”

Yang Zui took the wine jug, took a sip of it, the liquor entered his throat, and when his body was warm, three red signal flares rose in the sky. Yang Zui instantly became excited and smiled. The quiet morning was broken at the moment when the signal flare was raised, and the city defense of Xuzhou was shrouded in gunpowder smoke for a moment, and the earth trembled with fierce artillery fire.

The sparrows, which were foraging in the snow early, were frightened and panicked, and flew away.

This time, the artillery preparation was only half an hour, and the divisional artillery regiment swept the enemy positions in front of it over and over again, and from time to time you could see the Beiyang soldiers who were panicking away in the telescope. This snow is not a good thing for both sides, but in terms of equipment, the Wehrmacht is obviously more prepared. Every soldier in the guard battalion who took the lead was given two taels of wine. Everyone was wrapped in thick cotton coats and waited patiently for the artillery fire to extend.

The artillery fire gradually faded, and he spat a mouthful, Yang Zui took off his face carelessly, the submachine gun was raised, and the piercing charge horn sounded. Yang Zui was the first to rush out of the hidden trench, stepping on the creaking snow, and shouted hoarsely: "Follow me." ”

The same scenario, the opportunity to play out in three directions at the same time. Every unit of the Wehrmacht has a similar tradition that officers must be in front of the charge when charging.

Despite the preparations, an unexpected heavy snowfall brought a fluke mentality. I had hoped that Greenskin would stop attacking due to the arrival of heavy snow, but the hope was quickly shattered like a soap bubble. Almost as soon as the shelling began, Chen Yan jumped up from the cot at the headquarters, hurriedly put on his coat, and left the headquarters with the guards.

The green-skinned artillery fire was still fierce, and the shells rained down as if they didn't need money. Every such experience is a hell on earth for the Beiyang soldiers.

A battalion commander who had been transferred to the forward position last night panicked under artillery fire and left his troops and ran down with a few men. Chen Yan sneered and greeted him, and without saying a word, he raised his gun and lit him. The chief of staff beside him whispered a little uneasily: "Division commander, he is Hua Shuai's distant nephew. ”

Chen Yan gently put the gun back into his sleeve, and shouted at the retreating soldiers with an expressionless face: "If you dare to retreat, he will be the end." ”

After the decisive implementation of the military law, the Beiyang soldiers' position stabilized somewhat, but this was only temporary. Seeing a troop holding high this red flag and rushing forward, these Wehrmacht soldiers in green uniforms rushed fiercely and with great momentum. Broke through several positions in a row, and tore a gap in the middle.

Chen Yan blocked it with reserves in time, and the result of the two sides firing in front of a position was that the Beiyang Army could not fight at all, and the green soldiers on the opposite side were equipped with a large number of automatic weapons. The kind of small cannon called the artillery cannon is even more knocking all the time. Chen Huan saw that the position was about to be lost, and this was already the last line of defense outside Xuzhou City.

In a hurry, Chen Yan took out his war knife and shouted: "Fight with them!" Shouting and rushing forward, a guard blocked the front in time, in front of Chen Eun's eyes, the guard's head was beaten into a rotten watermelon, Chen Eun was shocked, subconsciously lay on the ground, and a bullet grazed his head. Scared into a cold sweat, Chen Huan was about to find a cover to continue shooting, a strange cry fell from the sky, the shell fell on a machine gun position next to him, Chen Huan saw a piece of shrapnel embedded in his stomach, and then felt the pain and a huge impact, staggered a few times, Chen Huan fell to the ground.

The green tide rushed by, and the vision was blurred, as if several guards were seen being knocked down by a rain of bullets. Chen Yan was anxious and angry, and fainted in front of him.

There are many peaks in the south of Jinan, and the key to whether Jinan can be held is whether it can be firmly rooted in these mountains. The terrain of Jinan is low in the north and high in the south, and if the Beiyang Army comes from the north, Jinan will be difficult to defend. The key now is that the gang led by Qi Zhenghong is likely to encounter a two-sided attack from the Beiyang Army.

In fact, Chen Guangyuan's fourth town had already been loaded from Beijing late last night and headed south overnight.

Qi Zhenghong called a group of classmates from the teaching team, and after discussing it in the middle of the night, he decided to forcibly drive the residents out of the city. Early in the morning, the two divisions of the Jiaodong Self-Defense Force drew out a regiment of troops and were responsible for driving people out of the city. Other troops hurried to build fortifications, and they were busy inside and outside the city. As Fang Jianxiong said in the telegram, the key to whether or not the main force of the Beiyang Army on the eastern front can be annihilated is to hold Jinan. This battle is the biggest test for the students of the first phase of the teaching team.

Qi Zhenghong had only two divisions in his hands, namely the first and second divisions of the provisional formation. Both divisions are fully equipped, and if it is only the Beiyang Army guarding Beiyang, there is absolutely no problem. The key now is the Beiyang Army moving south.

The Beijing railway station was busy, and the first division, which had been urgently dispatched, was loading its trains and preparing to go south. Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were both at the station, looking at the old man who was the first division of the Eight Banners, and he was very worried. He Zonglian, the commander of the first division who was about to get on the bus, saw the two of them running over quickly, and after saluting, he said, "Zhishuai!" ”

After Duan Qirui returned the salute, he said: "Whether we can keep the essence of the third and fifth divisions of Beiyang, the key is whether Jinan can take it back." This trip to Jinan is related to the life and death of Beiyang. ”

Xu Shuzheng listened to it on the side, and thought with disdain, can this banner soldier's soldiers fight? After Yuan Shikai became the president, the first division carried out a major blood change, all the officers were replaced, and half of the soldiers were replaced, and even so, half of the bannermen remained in the army for money. How can such a force not be worried when it goes south and cooperates with the Fourth Division to attack Jinan? rq！！！
