On the map, the straight-line distance from Shanghai to Nanjing is 304 km. The armored train carried Hu Rui and his entourage overnight and headed for Nanjing along the Shanghai-Nanjing line. The trains of this year are no better than the high-speed railways and express speeds of later generations, and the imported hybrid steam engine can reach a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. It only takes more than an hour to drive in the afterlife, but it takes more than eight hours here, which is quite fast. The commanders and governors of all roads along the way, with the example of Zhenjiang Lin Shuqing, are naturally quite cooperative. The green light all the way, for fear that one would accidentally anger Hu Dashuai and then provoke the Anhui army's gang.

I set off overnight, hurried and hurried, and when I arrived in Nanjing, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning. After receiving the telegram, the Second Mixed Association sent troops to take over the railway station while preparing for battle. More than 2,000 people of an infantry regiment surrounded the three outer floors of the railway station, and the commander of the second mixed brigade, Fang Zong, personally led a group of staff officers from the brigade headquarters and brigade headquarters to greet them on the platform. This goods came to bear the guilt of Jing Petition, and when they crossed the Zhenjiang River, they gave the order to choose the opportunity to go south, but it was delayed for various reasons. Directly led to the loss of the best record, this is from the second phase of the training battalion, knowing the consequences of delaying the fighter, so he is guilty.

"Woo~"

With the whistle, the armored train slowly drove into the platform. Wang Tianzong took the lead in getting off the train with a sharp knife company, as a peripheral guard, occupying all the exits and commanding heights on the platform, and the flat end of the submachine gun, vigilant for any abnormal movement. After a pause, Leng Jingfeng rushed out with the pistol team, and quickly formed the team at the sound of the password. zuihou, Hu Rui is surrounded by Sanniang and others. I got out of the car with a blank face.

"Chief Instructor! I ......"

Fang Zong stepped forward and saluted in frustration.

"Don't talk about it if it's useless. I'll report back on the road later. In addition, organize people to unload the shells from the car by hand. Sent to the dock. ”

Hu Rui waved his hand coldly and stopped talking.

"Yes!"

Fang Zong shouted, one stood upright, standing like a javelin, and watched Hu Rui and his party walk off the platform.

"Go directly to the docks, and unload the shells as soon as possible to send them to the Navy. Let's talk about the specifics. ”

Hu Rui pulled Sanniang into the carriage, instructed the driver, and then asked.

"Chief Instructor, please atone for your incompetence. Delayed fighters! ”

Fang Zong's attitude is very good, and he sincerely regrets it. Originally, the expansion of the army was imminent, and the second mixed brigade sent troops to Yangzhou to catch the salt tax of the two Huai, which was directly a credit for it! Yangzhou has not yet been recovered (historically, Yangzhou was "recovered" by Sun Tiansheng, who was born as a turtle slave, on the second day of the Xinhai Revolution, and changes were made here because of the need for writing. How many soldiers are there in the whole of Yangzhou? The Second Mixed Association is a unit that participated in the Battle of Nanjing, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the newly formed 3rd and 4th Divisions, plus a new 75 mountain artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters and the help of the navy, it is simply not a difficult thing! Originally, there was already wind coming out of the top. It is intended to be reorganized into the 5th and 6th Divisions of the Anhui Revolutionary Army on the basis of the existing two mixed associations. After the expansion, at least one deputy division commander on the other side will not be able to escape! Now it's okay, don't talk about the deputy division commander. If you delay the fighter, you will have to go to court-martial!

"Don't talk about useless things, let's talk about the specific situation. Delay the fighter jets aside, are all sides ready? ”

Hu Rui frowned. Fang Zong, who didn't care about remorse, almost hit his head against the wall, and asked directly.

"Report Chief Instructor. According to your orders, the 2nd Mixed Brigade has all entered a state of imminent combat. All the officers and soldiers were killed! The Navy and River Defense Gunboat Fleet had arrived just an hour earlier and were refilling the docks with coal water. At present, the situation in Yangzhou is still chaotic, and I only know that the city is in chaos, and all kinds of salt lords began to attack Yangzhou City under the banner of revolution. Last night, Sun Tiansheng sent a telegram asking for help to all the Liberation Army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but no one has responded yet! ”

Fang Zong didn't dare to say any more, and the report of 1510 said that it seemed that the chief instructor was really angry.

"What was Nanjing's reaction?"

Hu Rui nodded, and then asked. Sanniang, who was sitting next to her, bowed slightly, holding the pen in her bare hand and quickly wrote something in the notebook she carried.

"Xu Shaozhen is okay, but the people in the Alliance are not good. Seeing that the warships stationed on the Xiaguan River began to jump up and down, all departments of the Nanjing Provisional Military Government sent people to inquire about the situation, but they did not receive any of them, and they were all blocked outside. ”

"Hmph, do you know now that you're afraid? What did you do earlier?! ”

Hu Rui sneered, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

"The matter of delaying the fighter plane is temporarily pressed, and the ideological work of the troops must be done well, and they must wait for the order to attack at any time! If this battle is fought well, it will be regarded as making up for the merits, and in addition, the captains of each ship and all the officers above the company level will be notified to go to the conference room of the Jingqing ship for a meeting! ”

Hu Rui glanced at Fang Zong, who was shrunk in the passenger seat, and ordered. Fortunately, there was a Sun Tiansheng, otherwise the salt tax of Yangzhou and Lianghuai would really be missed.

"Baochun Mountain, Sanjiangtang, Guojianglong, Hun Tianjiao, there are quite a lot of names! Is there any news on the specific number of people and equipment? ”

In the conference room of the Jingqing ship, a large group of people sat in the dark. Hu Rui copied a few points of the information provided by Sanniang and distributed it. On the one hand, he said disdainfully, this time it seems that he is really desperate, and almost all the salt lord armies in Yangzhou have been gathered, and it can really be said that they are pouring out.

"According to the intelligence of the inside line, the big leader of this time is the salt lord Xu Baoshan, who has an armed force of more than 4,000 people in his hands. I have been doing some murderous and overselling things on the river before, and then I was once ordered by the government, but in fact, I still rushed to my old job, but I changed my name! The total number of these armed forces was about 10,000, and under their own banners, they took their respective gangs as units, and they moved around at the behest of Xu Baoshan, and basically had no organization or discipline. In terms of equipment, the more than 4,000 people under Xu Baoshan's department were officers and soldiers before, and they were the most well-equipped. It is mainly made of domestic old sleeves and Hanyang, and the others are not worth mentioning. It's all cold weapons like spears and broadswords, and it's good to have a single one. That's probably the case! ”

As the saying goes, men are most handsome when they work hard, and the same applies to women. Hu Dashuai sat at the top of the conference table, looking at Sanniang confidently and pointing out the country. is different from the morbid beauty that will be popular, Sanniang is heroic, calm and calm, full of noble and cold, and the royal sister is full of fan!

Hu Dashuai was fascinated, he was stupid and stupid, and he didn't care that this was in the conference room. From beginning to end, her eager eyes never left Sanniang, until a bare hand quietly climbed onto the soft meat on her waist and pinched it fiercely! Hu Dashuai, who was outside the world, came back to his senses at this time, and his eyes were facing Sanniang, who was crimson, ashamed and annoyed. Looking at everyone sitting in the conference room, they all looked at each other, looking like they didn't see anything.

"Uh...... Well, everyone knows the general situation! I convened everyone to a meeting today for only one purpose, and that is to arrange a specific combat jihua! When Tu transferred elite troops and heavy artillery regiments to the Fourth Division, they were stationed in Dangtu in the name of the exercise! Directly on the eyes of Nanjing, to ensure the safety of the rear of our army during the operation! According to Jihua, the entire 2nd Mixed Brigade stationed in Pukou landed directly in Yangzhou under the cover of naval artillery fire on merchant ships! The river defense gunboat fleet and the ships of the Navy are responsible for blocking the river and fire support! ”

In the end, the handsome is the handsome, and Hu Rui, who was arrested, was embarrassed for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, and said jihua simply. A shotgun can kill an elephant, so what do you need to be smart? This jihua does not have any strategy and tactics at all, and the key is in the choice of time.

"Chief instructor, he is willing to make meritorious service and make up for the mistake of delaying the fighter! As long as the brothers of the navy send us ashore and do not need artillery cover, in half a day, our second mixed brigade will not be able to take Yangzhou, and we will come to see us! ”

Fang Zong had delayed the fighter before, and he directly held his breath in his heart, and immediately stood up and made a military order. The deputy division commander doesn't want to think about it, and it's good to be able to redeem the merits.

"Hehe, Brother Fang said this. Isn't it that my navy can only act as a means of transport?! Handsome! Since we defected to the Marshal in the Battle of Nanjing, the Marshal has not said anything to us, and the treatment and salary are better than those of the original Manchu Dynasty! Now that the ships of our navy have sufficient ammunition and complete personnel, the marshal has nothing to say about our brothers in Yangzhou! Just don't bother the brothers of the 2nd Mixed Brigade, and personally lead the fleet to come up and attack the city with naval artillery! ”

As soon as the words fell, Song Lie, the captain of the Jingqing ship, who had been silent, saw that you couldn't go down, so he raised his bar and stood up, and said confrontingly.

Disputes between land and sea, no matter which dynasty or generation, are a common thing to hear. An army officer from the training battalion has long looked at the navy unpleasantly. When he was fighting Nanjing, he was blocked by heavy artillery and torpedoes on the river, and he couldn't advance or retreat, and he was forced to revolt, how could he be qualified to enjoy such haode treatment?! The same is true for the Navy. Let's take the name of Hu Rui as an example, every time I meet the guys in the army, they always call "chief instructor" one by one, for fear that others will not know about this relationship! A group of dirt buns, holding the shelves of the handsome family all day long, look at it and make people annoying! As a result, private fights are inevitable. Listening to Fang Zong's slightly contemptuous military order, the navy couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up-for-tat. After a while, the whole conference room was in a commotion.

Just as Hu Rui was hesitating whether he should stop it, the big dark man entered the door with a telegram in a strange way. Sanniang glanced at it, and she also changed color, and gently pushed the telegram in front of Hu Rui.

"Keep the clouds open and see the moon, the time has finally come." (To be continued......)
