Qi Yuan originally wanted to consolidate the relationship with the little nurse Meng Jiao, but he made trouble for himself, causing the Japanese army and the national army to be defeated, and the newly formed PLA troops had to attack everywhere and occupy territory. The original youth school class was finally dismantled at this time, and the loyal veterans who participated in the New Fourth Army at the earliest, especially those who were literate and able to fight like them, were all promoted to become officers in the line of fire. At present, when a large number of soldiers of the national government army have surrendered to the government, and the superiors need to disrupt their establishment and strengthen their control, many of them, the old and new soldiers of the Fourth Army, have been arranged to become grassroots officers to lead the troops.

Qi Yuan also became a lieutenant in a daze, serving as the commander of a company, and he also brought more than 100 people under him. He even skipped the rank of ensign and became a lieutenant directly. In fact, this is not an exaggeration, I heard that a brother directly promoted the captain to take the battalion commander.

In the newly assigned company, there were only five or six soldiers of the original New Fourth Army, and the rest were all soldiers of the Guofu Army who had surrendered to Chengcheng, and even the puppet army that had just come out of the reform battalion. The superiors gave a month to conduct run-in training, and then they were about to march to Wuhan to launch a general battle against the Guofu army.

He has eyeliner in the East China Field Army Headquarters, and he knows exactly what kind of deployment it is. This time, their group will probably form a Central China Field Army with a scale of 220,000 people and a total of seven corps-level establishments. Since the start of the all-out ****** war, the PLA has expanded as fast as it has broken the enemy. After only two months of hard work, Qi Yuan was shocked to find that the strength of the People's Liberation Army had soared from 1 million before the war to as many as 1.6 million. Moreover, the newly added troops are basically field forces.

hurriedly bid farewell to Meng Jiao, and Qi Yuan followed the army up the Yangtze River. This time, most of the troops were all on small steamers, and the government army on the Yangtze River had little control over it, and Qi Yuan had already sent a large number of small gunboats and missile boats to the PLA Navy last time, and in order to coordinate operations, the navy organized more than 40 small gunboats to follow the Central China Field Army.

The prototype of the river gunboat is another type 062 gunboat designed and manufactured by China, which is slightly enlarged in tonnage, and there are many differences in shape, some gunboats use the original double 37 guns, some have 57 guns, and some are specifically designed to provide fire assistance for the army, directly on the 100mm naval gun.

At the beginning of the Jingchu Campaign, it began with the bombardment of the three towns of Wuhan by the PLA's inland river gunboats. Although the Guofu Army received a number of small inland river ships left behind by the Japanese army, this fleet could not be used at all. After hearing that the army had amassed a super fleet, there were faction members who were depressed within the national army and navy who fled to Shanghai and other places and changed their courts. Moreover, at this time in Wuhan, the national government army could not muster so many sailors who could operate the ships.

In the end, they still used the same methods they had used to deal with the Japanese, intending to sink the ships in the Yangtze River to prevent the PLA gunboats from approaching Wuhan. However, history is always strikingly similar, this self-sinking operation failed here, because there was no control over the hydrological situation, the blockade was not successful, and then after the arrival of the PLA river fleet, some of the wreckage was towed away, and the river fleet approached the three towns of Wuhan without hindrance.

The gunboats first bombarded the port docks, and then hit some of the military installations that had been determined in advance. The Guofu Army also carried out a limited counteroffensive with artillery, but it was quickly bombed by the PLA Air Force flying to Wuhan.

The main force of the Central China Field Army landed in Echeng County, and the Guofu Army did not form any limited resistance, and the defenders of Echeng carried out an uprising that night, which further strengthened the strength of the People's Liberation Army. Coupled with the Guofu army that had come over before, this battle has not yet been fought, and the PLA here has more than 50,000 troops.

After seizing Echeng, Wuhan was already close at hand, Chang Kaishen absolutely did not allow the People's Liberation Army to gather troops on the side of Wuhan so calmly, so he ordered Chen Cheng to lead an army of 300,000 to launch a siege on Echeng, wanting to attack the enemy in Bandu and remove the threat of Wuhan.

However, although the Central China Field Army, which came on a small steamer, was not equipped with much heavy equipment, the number of tanks and armored vehicles was not large, and even the heavy artillery was relatively small, Qi Yuan was among the troops, and the Wheel King landed outside Echeng County like a god, blocking the way for the Guofu army to march.

The Japanese who were so arrogant in the past are now shaking hands with Chongqing in a good voice, and the merit is naturally not in the head of Chang Kaishen, the captain of the transportation brigade and the director of the logistics company, but the invincible and powerful existence that enabled Wuhan to be accepted without a single soldier.

Within the Guofu Army, there are various legends about the Wheel King, many of which are exaggerated, and even draw on many storytelling drums and other jokes from the past and present, saying that the Wheel King is a heavenly soldier and a god general, and can also sprinkle beans into soldiers, raise fire and other super skills. The political work units of the Guofu Army did not notice the danger of spreading the power of the Wheel King, although they also had a heart control, but this matter was so bizarre that people would inevitably gossip, and even the officers themselves were all kinds of curious. Just like that, the mighty and terrifying image of the Wheel King was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers of the national army.

When the Wheel King appeared in front of them, as if it had been discussed a long time ago, the Guofu army was dispersed, they didn't even let go of a single shot, and they didn't receive any attacks, the officers ran with their subordinates, and the friendly troops ran with the friendly army, in short, no one wanted to face the Wheel King. Some soldiers disliked the equipment on their bodies and delayed their escape, so they directly discarded them in the field, and even more feared that they would become targets in their military uniforms, and would rather run naked than take off all their clothes.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan couldn't help but laugh, if he couldn't cause excessive killing, he didn't want to do it, after all, although these people were enemies, they were also compatriots.

Under the inspiration, Qi Yuan turned on the ultra-high-power speaker, flew in the sky, and shouted: "Comrades soldiers of the Guofu Army, don't resist senselessly, the corrupt and incompetent, traitorous Chongqing government has been abandoned by the people of the whole country, justice and victory belong to the great CPC, at this time you should not isolate yourself from the people, you must realize your mistakes, the door of the revolutionary contingent will always be open to you, it is not too late to turn back!" ”

The sound of the horn resounded throughout the four fields to calm down the soldiers of the Guofu Army who had fled everywhere, and I don't know if they really realized their mistakes and the backwardness and failure of the Chongqing government, most of the soldiers directly knelt on the ground and hugged their heads, threw away the weapons in their hands, and some white flags were also played.

Seeing this situation, Qi Yuan saw that the opportunity could not be lost, and hurriedly informed the commander who led the Central China Field Army to immediately pounce out the Central China Field Army troops who had just landed in the early stage from Echeng County, and they had not even completed the complete assembly, but they couldn't care about anything at this time, basically they would not encounter any battles, all they needed to do was to control this group of surrendered Guofu Army soldiers.

flew back and forth many times, the one who should have fled almost fled, and the surrender was also taken over by the Central China Field Army at this time, Qi Yuan sat on the battlefield for a while like a door god, knowing that all the soldiers of the national government army were taken in, and he let the Runner King go back to low orbit again to make a satellite.

And Chen Cheng of the Wuhan Command almost spurted out three liters of old blood after receiving the battle report from the front, and he commanded 300,000 troops to surround Echeng, wanting to drive the Jue army into the water before the Jun's foothold was unstable, but he didn't expect that the troops he thought were strong enough didn't even have the courage to fight in the face of the Wheel King, so they naturally collapsed. The troops who fled back to Wuhan were counted, and there were only more than 30,000 people at most, which means that the remaining ninety percent of the Guofu army was either captured by the Jue army, or they were deserters and would not return to the country.

Even Qi Yuan felt that this battle was a bit messy, first the defenders of Echeng County surrendered with the city, and then he just showed a picture on the battlefield, and the Guofu army was defeated in a large area, and the Central China Field Army counted that there were nearly 200,000 more troops. It cannot be said that these troops cannot be used at all, and it is not possible to fight a tough battle, but it is still very enough to scare and scare people.

Chen Cheng also understood at this time that even if the Guofu army had more troops, this battle would definitely not be won. Not to mention how much stronger the armament and ambition of the Jue army are than the national army, just the deterrence of the Wheel King has made the soldiers have no fighting spirit to fight them. Not to mention the Guofu army, even if the Japanese army encounters the Wheel King now, they will never want to fight him, but can run immediately.

After the Central China Field Army completed the landing, coupled with the troops that surrendered to Cheng one after another, there were already nearly 500,000 troops outside Wuhan, Chen Cheng said at this time that he felt that he could not hold anything, he had to send a telegram to Chongqing, thinking that he could not fight the enemy at present, and Jian yì abandoned Wuhan and continued to retreat to Chongqing.

In fact, Chen Cheng also knew that Chang Kaishen's idea was to use the city and defense line that could be used to consume the troops of the Jue army, and then concentrate the main forces in Chongqing to engage in a large-scale battle with the enemy. But looking at the situation now, the Guofu army is already in chaos, and even the elite troops can't fight against the Jue army, let alone the Wheel King. Even if Chen Cheng has countless clever plans, the Wheel King is a clever cunning with his strength, no matter what the strategy, it will be turned into a joke in front of his absolute strength.

It is said that in Chongqing, someone has already built a chairman and has begun to think about the way back.
