The difficulties faced by the Second Army were unprecedented in relation to the situation of the First and Fourth Armies.

In the autumn of 1908, the German and Japanese forces landed in Ningbo Bay, where the turbid waters were raging, and headed for Hangzhou.

Although the Second Army led by Xu Xilin has undergone large-scale mixing and disruption, there are still many members of the Central Plains Restoration Society in the middle and upper classes, mainly Zhang Taiyan, Tao Chengzhang, Xu Xilin, Qiu Jin and others. It is also a force to be reckoned with in the newly formed People's Party.

Originally, after Xu Xilin successfully and peacefully took over Zhejiang Province, Zhang Taiyan and Tao Chengzhang formulated a series of new policies to be implemented, such as the development of industry, education, etc.

Of course, they are also prepared for these, and the big deal is death.

Without the support of foreign forces, it is inevitable that a revolution will be resolutely launched, and thus the intervention of foreign forces will be aroused, and the new revolutionary regime will be fragile, but only in this bloody storm can a firm and pure contingent be born, and a new national spirit can be forged.

It's a big deal.

In the future, some people may despise his strength, thinking that it is the right way to live calmly, even endure humiliation, and make a difference, and for the behavior of sacrificing himself and bravely resisting power, from a long view to contempt, finally came on the 25th.

Indifference, calmness, indifference, and the deeper pain of hard work will be mercilessly inflicted by the ruler, just like the day when the slave who is driven by others finally dies, the death under the exhaustion and whipping, there is no hope in the eyes, only dead silence, the brain can no longer think, only commands.

As a member of the People's Party, as a revolutionary party that defies the condemnation of the world, and not as careerists who have made a second dip, they have long been prepared to give everything.

The city of Hangzhou is raining at this time.

Gentle Yanyu Jiangnan Township, there is never a lack of wealth and romance here, but there is a lack of blood here.

On the tower of the city, the scorched heads of the people were still poked there one by one. Rain poured down the tattered stove, occasionally revealing hideous white bones.

Willow banks, branches floating.

It was cold.

The Third Army is swearing outside the Wulin Gate.

The icy rain ran down their faces, and the cold rain was merciless, as if to strip the last bit of warmth from their bodies.

Xu Xilin was the same, he didn't bring an umbrella and let the cold rain soak himself.

He looked at the immobile Third Army, his eyes were calm, but there was a fire burning in his heart, which made his almost emaciated body tremble, and the rain blurred his glasses.

He took it off and wiped it casually.

Hoarsely said: "Brothers of the Second Army. Hangzhou behind us is a place of literary elegance for thousands of years, the hometown of wealth and prosperity. But - this city lacks a kind of bloodiness, a kind of stubborn bloodiness. When the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, the Queen Mother surrendered the city. When the Qing Dynasty extinguishes the Ming, the neck will be killed. We forgot...... We forgot! Thousands of years ago, 3,000 Yuejia could swallow Wu's lofty ambition.

Today, we have just escaped nearly 300 years of slavery with the heads of the Manchurians, whose heads are still poked at the walls. And today, tens of thousands of German intervention troops have come from the sea, and they want to turn us into slaves, into slaves of Westerners, slaves of Orientals! Can we stand it?!"

"Can't!" The roars of the soldiers could be heard below.

"Today, we will use the steel guns and iron cannons of our Second Army, the flesh and blood of our Second Army, and the indomitable will and soul of our People's Party to reshape the heroic soul on this land, defend Zhejiang, and defend our country!"

"No!"

In the rain and muddy, the Third Army swore to the sky to fight for the land under its feet and for its own nation.

The battle is brutal, the battle is merciless, and the battle is painful.

But if there is no blood and no perseverance, then it will just collapse at one touch.

Fighting broke out in Yuyao.

The German-Japanese coalition forces that came prepared, first occupied Ningbo, and after taking a foothold, a steady stream of troops was transported from the Japanese mainland and even Taiwan. It seems that the Japanese army wants to strangle this nascent regime on the ancient continent in its cradle.

The Third Army was invincible to the equipment of the Qing army, and it was even slightly ahead in front of the Japanese-German coalition forces, after all, there were few German troops and many Japanese troops, but the quality of the soldiers was much worse, but fortunately, the coalition forces were fighting a war of aggression across the sea.

Zhang Zhen sat in the center, but he did a good job in logistics, ensuring the logistics supply of the Third Army and the Second Army.

After an encounter in the rain, the extremely bloody war between the two armies began.

There is only one tragic word to describe it.

For the first time, the nascent Yongjun suffered heavy casualties, more than 30%.

If it weren't for the growing organizational strength, I am afraid that after a few battles, the whole army would have collapsed.

This was not an ordinary war, for the Germans it was no different from an ordinary war of intervention on the African continent, but it was not the same for Japan, there could only be one suzerainty in East Asia.

The Japanese upper echelons clearly saw the danger of a new East Asian regime that confiscated foreign assets and had strong armaments and attacked everywhere.

I don't know how many days and nights this is, Xu Xilin's eyes are bloodshot, his forehead is also hot, and the months of fierce fighting have greatly eroded the will of the coalition forces to fight.

Although Xu Xilin felt physically and mentally exhausted, and even felt that his mental and physical strength were on the verge of collapse, he saw the hope of victory.

In fact, when he first started the battle to defend eastern Zhejiang, he didn't know whether he could win in his heart, so he just relied on his enthusiasm. Behind it is his hometown, and he can't take a step back.

During this period, the First Army and the Third Army have made overwhelming progress, the reform of the Fourth Army is also nearing completion, and the enemy army has become the end of the strong crossbow, as long as the teeth are gritted here and persist, victory will sooner or later belong to the Yong Army.

Where the intervention forces failed, there was a lack of purpose and will.

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the biggest reason for the victory of the intervention army was the suppression of the Hunan army and the Huai army, and the Qing government still had the ability to organize itself, but now this has collapsed.

So what is the purpose of the intervention army now, to go deep into the hinterland with its own strength and overthrow this nascent regime.

Impossible, completely impossible.

Seishiro Itagaki thought about this very clearly as a young officer.

The intervention army said that there were so many, but only the Japanese army could move with all their might.

It would be nice to say that there was only the combat strength of the Qing army on the other side, but this brand-new Yong army was not at all, and its equipment was even above that of the Japanese army.

If the whole of Japan is full of strength, of course, it can destroy this Yongjun legion, and even occupy this place.

But......

What about the rest of the armies? Is the above really determined to fight a battle with Yongguo now?

"Damn the civilian government, the waste of the Continental ghost beast!"
