The green camp masters who can't get mud on the wall know that they eat, drink, and have fun on weekdays, smoke and fight their sisters, and the main business of fighting has long been abandoned by them.

Let them fight a tough battle, that is, they will ask for their own lives, and Chen Xiang can't expect them to fight to the death with high morale.

"Those who retreat without permission will be decided!"

Chen Xiang, who had no choice but to sacrifice a killer weapon, let the pro-guards supervise the battles everywhere, otherwise it would not be long before he would become the commander of the light pole.

After the artillery unit of the Huangshan Fort Group was disabled by the "Stuka" dive bombers, the burden of guarding the place was handed over to Chen Xiang's department.

As long as there is no mistake here, then the Jiangyin fortress that guards the dangerous position of the Yangtze River can play its due role.

Otherwise, the "short-haired" fleet will swim upstream, drive straight in, and directly shell Jiangning, the capital of the two rivers.

"Buzz ......"

A giant bird appeared in the blue sky, it was the F-200 patrol plane in which His Majesty the Emperor was flying.

In order to inspect the front line, the young man of the second cargo, accompanied by Senior Sister An Ya, personally flew to the Jiangyin battlefield to inspect the combat situation of the troops.

This was the first offensive operation without naval support, and the entire army and air force were responsible.

We want to see what the actual situation is, and after going deep into the inland areas in the future, it is impossible for the navy to follow the whole process.

Now that the Supreme Commander has come, the Air Force will of course go all out.

In addition to the eight F-190s involved in the escort, two squadrons of "Stuka" also returned to the sky over Jiangyin.

"Boom ............" A series of terrifying fireballs suddenly rose from all over Huangshan

It was a gas-oil bomb dropped by a dive bomber, igniting all the places where there was still vegetation.

Hundreds of unlucky creatures were devoured by the fireball, and after a few wails, they were burned to black coal.

Seeing the terrible scene of Shura's hell, the braids of the Green Camp and the group training were all immediately frightened to the point of a nervous breakdown.

"It's still interesting!" Sister An Ya was very interested in the methods used by the US military in the Vietnam battlefield

Under the blowing of the river breeze, the fire quickly intensified, connecting the fires on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain.

This man-made hillfire dealt a devastating blow to the defenders and became the second Dingjun Mountain.

The dumbfounded Chen Xiang has also become a general who teases Ma Yan, and it is impossible to retreat when more than half of the troops are killed.

"Summer is a great time to use this kind of thing!" The young man didn't expect that the power of this kind of thing would exceed that of a bomb

The Qing army on the mountain was choked with smoke and wept, although they still wanted to continue fighting, but their bodies really couldn't bear it.

Seeing that there were no gunshots to the west, and no signs of "shorthair" activity, the surviving braids began to flee in that direction.

"Da ......" under the cover of dozens of "Maxim" heavy machine guns

Soldiers of the 4th Brigade, dressed in camouflage uniforms and armed with "Mosin-Nagant" rifles, began to attack Huangshan on their backs.

After the five battalions of Jiangnan Defense Army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, were attacked by the clan army in turn, there were less than two battalions of soldiers who could continue to fight.

The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the soldiers on both sides fight from 10 o'clock in the morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

After the large-scale rout of the Green Battalion, the defense line that Chen Xiang had painstakingly organized collapsed.

The four battalions were annihilated by two battalions, and although the Jiangnan Defense Army, which had lost its right-hand man, fought alone, it was difficult to turn the tide.

"The old man wanted to defeat the enemy again, but the 'short hair' was extremely vicious, and the wildfires spread! O omission of God's grace! I ......"

Looking at the countless "short-haired" soldiers who launched a general attack on him at the foot of the mountain, the desperate Chen Xiang decided to draw his sword and kill himself to apologize.

"General, don't be impulsive, quickly break through to the west, and after regrouping, it's not too late to fight 'Shorthair' again!"

In desperation, the adjutant general snatched his weapon and beckoned dozens of personal guards to cover the boss's descent from the mountain.

After escaping from the danger zone, the panicked Qing army went all the way to the west, and then went straight to Changzhou, where it was reorganized.

Before the sun set, the main peaks of the Huangshan Fort Group were successively captured by the Fourth Brigade and the Fifth Brigade of the Ethnic Army.

The rest of Jiangyin was also captured by the 6th Brigade, and the clan fleet was able to pass safely through the river in this precipitous area.

In the direction of Wuxi, the pressure on Li Guangjiu, the commander of the Hunan army, and Zuo Xiaotong, the general of the Chu army, was also as huge as Mount Tai.

"Boom ......"

Raining shells rained down on the city, blasting houses into ruins and igniting fires.

In order to prevent the clan army from gaining a large city with a large population and a prosperous economy, and to curb its growth in strength.

The braids deliberately fabricated the news that the "short-haired" liked to slaughter the city, causing the people of Wuxi to flee to Changzhou for refuge.

Now the houses are empty, and at the same time the casualties are reduced, but the shelling of the invading enemy is also unscrupulous.

After visiting here in the morning, the Heinkel-111 bomber group flew over Wuxi again at noon to carry out carpet bombing.

"Oh my mother, the 'Flying Monster' is here again, and the brothers are hiding it quickly!"

The air raid in the morning killed thousands of pigtails, and by noon this time, the Qing soldiers in various departments immediately learned to behave, but they were still the ones who were passively beaten.

The pigtails were completely unable to withstand such a high-intensity onslaught, and even before the opponent launched a ground attack, they were already crying wolf by the bombers.

Li Guangjiu ordered all his troops to implement the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and concentrated all the food and supplies in the vicinity into the city to avoid falling into the hands of the "shorthairs".

Then under the bombardment of the Heinkel-111 group, a large part of the baggage was wiped out in an instant.

The ground shook under the heavy bombing, and only the brick and stone houses survived the bombing, turning them into ruins for photographs.

"Lord Li, if this continues, it will be difficult for our army to hold on to this city!"

Although Zuo Xiaotong is young, he has also fought a tough battle on Treasure Island.

Those "flying monsters" in the sky can take away the lives of thousands of foot soldiers at a time, and counting the soldiers who were injured by the explosion, about four or five thousand people on their own side have lost their combat effectiveness.

Li Guangjiu pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Wuxi is the barrier of Changzhou, where the gateway to Jiangning is located, if our army retreats easily, the 'short hair' will definitely take advantage of the weakness!" ”

Once Wuxi is captured, then Changzhou will be next, and if it is conquered by the enemy again, then there will be no strong cities east of Jiangning to block the attack of "Short Hair".

Jiangning was originally an easy place to attack and difficult to defend, and could only rely on nearby cities to contain the enemy's attack.

Not to mention the distance, in the past few hundred years, both the Qing army and the Taiping army can easily capture here.

If the enemy attacks from the north to the south, Jiangning, which is backed by the Yangtze River, may be able to hold out for some time.

If the enemy army advances from east to west, the Yangtze River moat is the lifeline of the military in Jiangning City.

Although the Jiangning city wall is strong, it can barely withstand the siege warfare of the cold weapon era.

In the era of hot weapons of artillery and aircraft, it was possible to be blown into slag by artillery shells in an hour.

Li Guangjiu took into account the situation on the Jiangning side, so he decided to desperately stick to Wuxi.

It's just that he doesn't know that there is a certain discrepancy between determination and reality.

The 1st Army of the Clan was responsible for the capture of the city, with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Brigades, as well as the heavy artillery battalion (36 122mm howitzers) and the tank battalion (40 No. 3 tanks).

To cover the infantry advance, each infantry brigade was also equipped with a tank battalion.

However, taking into account the accidental injury, the ground forces did not launch a siege battle on the day of the Air Force's bombing operation.

On 23 June, the Heinkel-111 fleet made three sorties, dropping more than 500 tons of bombs.

The "Stuka" brigade, which numbered seventy-two aircraft, also took part in destroying the remaining Qing firepower points and fortresses in the city.

After inspecting the Jiangyin area, the F-200 patrol plane circled over Wuxi.

From above, the city was shrouded in smoke and fire, but it was still in the hands of the braids.

"If the assault casualties are too large, then destroy the city directly!" This was the highest instruction from His Majesty the Emperor to the Commander of the First Army, Colonel Ram

Compared to the brutal street fighting, it seems easier to blow up the place with artillery and aircraft, and the labor cost is lower.

In the battle to recover the southern cities, the young man didn't want to lose too many troops and become a tease like his father.

At four o'clock the next day, the sky was still clear, and before the sun was high, the ground troops of the clan army launched a general attack on Wuxi.

In order to win the battle in one blow, Senior Colonel Ram put all 152 No. 3 tanks (eight under repair) from all four tank battalions of the army into battle.

The weakly defended tanks 1 and 2 are no longer in the front-line combat units of the Clan Army, and are mostly used to train crews or simply give gifts to allies.

fz. The 221 Four-wheeled Light Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle followed, using its 7.62mm machine gun to clear the recalcitrant Qing infantry on the opposite side.

The 1st Brigade from the south, the 2nd Brigade from the southeast, and the 3rd Brigade from the east, in three directions, simultaneously launched an attack on the city of Wuxi.

The pigtails had long since abandoned their outlying positions, and after only a symbolic moment of resistance to the city's head line, they all withdrew into the city.

What is certain is that the various units of the Qing army, each with their own intentions, will not be as loyal as a wolf dog to defend this place.

Faced with a crushing attack by tanks and armored vehicles, the pigtails, who had suffered heavy casualties, were quickly beaten to the ground and retreated.

If you want to fight to the death, then the "crawler" will crush their bodies, and even bones, into the shape of a pancake!

Unfortunately, there were very few Qing troops with this idea, and most of them were defeated by the clan army.

The Qing officers and soldiers, who were composed of illiterate, ruffians, and scoundrels, were only mixing military salaries, and had no intention of serving the country loyally at all.

“…… All to Ben will resist! ”

Lee's roar didn't change anything, even if he killed a few deserters on the spot.

At 6:37 p.m. on June 24, the Shenzi flag of the clan was officially raised at the Wuxi mansion, marking the official conquest of the clan army.

It was for the army to kill (including blow up) 3,798 people with braids, capture 7,221 prisoners, and the rest fled or disappeared.

Forty-five people were killed and one hundred and ninety-four wounded. 221 Three four-wheeled lightly armored reconnaissance vehicles.

Li Guangjiu and Zuo Xiao were at the last moment, so they had to beat their horses and whip them, and fled with the remnants from the north of the city to Changzhou.

When I got there, I saw the guard Wei Guangtao and Chen Xiang, who had retreated from the Jiangyin Fortress, and maybe they could get together to play mahjong to relieve their worries.

It's just that they didn't sigh for too long, and after the First Army of the clan army was reinforced by the Fifth Army, the two armies attacked Changzhou from the north and south flanks.

With the support of more than 100 "Heinkel"-111 and "Stuka" bombers, it took only two days to conquer this final checkpoint to Jiangning.

By the end of the battle on 30 June, the southern Jiangsu region, especially Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Jiangyin, and Zhenjiang, the five strategically important towns south of the Yangtze River, had been recovered by the ethnic army.

The First Army, the Second Army, and the Fifth Army under the command of the First Group Army of the Ethnic Army, the three armies plus the troops directly under the group army, totaling 40,000 people, advanced rapidly to the periphery of Jiangning in two ways.

On July 1, the first line of Tuqiao, Guozhuang, Dongping and Hushu was conquered.

A day later, occupy Longpiao, Tangshui, Chunhua, Dongshanqiao and other places.

The Qing army, which had been defeated in successive battles, had to abandon the towns around Jiangning Prefecture, shrink the defensive line, and retreat to the last stronghold in Jiangsu.

Liu Kunyi deployed the main force of the Nanyang Group of more than 30,000 people to Jiangning City, in a vain attempt to fight to the death with the "short hair".

"My lord, this is the letter of surrender from the 'flying monster' of 'Shorthair'!" Admiral Cheng Wenbing, the governor of Jiangning, handed over a leaflet

[The officers and soldiers of Jiangning and the people, our army is doing the right thing for heaven, aiming to overthrow the Qing court, and has no grudges against you. As long as you take the initiative to lay down your arms and surrender, our army guarantees preferential treatment of prisoners and personal safety......]

The leaflet also offered a reward of two thousand taels of silver if the battalion officer surrendered, and in addition to that, if he brought in a few men, he would have five times as much silver.

There are also discounts in terms of weapons, a native gun can be worth 20 taels of silver, and a foreign gun can be exchanged for 50 taels of silver.

The purchase price of the Race electric gun ("Maximin" heavy machine gun) was 1,000 taels, and the 75-mm Krupp camp gun was 3,000 taels and 11 guns.

The war horse is 1,000 taels each, the pack horse is 500 taels each, and the beautiful girls are 200 taels each......

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lao Liu patted the tea bowl and shouted angrily: "Shaking the morale of the army is really hateful!" If there is an order to go down, if anyone picks up, spreads, or makes Yao, they will be punished according to the crime of collaborating with the enemy! ”

This kid is so lacking in morality, he actually used such a bad trick, and he was blatantly digging his own corner!

"This is a soldier who surrenders without a fight!" His Majesty the Clan Emperor looked at Jiangning City in the distance with his hands behind his back

Senior Sister An Ya, as the queen, also followed her husband to drive the expedition and asked softly: "Husband, do you want to change the name here?" ”

"Uh...... It makes sense, this place is called Jiangning is really too aggrieved, let me think about it...... It's okay to change it to Jinling! ”

What a domineering name, it's all catchy to say, such as the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling......

"By the way, when Yangzhou is recovered, change the name back to Guangling! Speaking of Yangzhou, I think of fried rice! ”

There is an even more down-and-out one, that is, Runan, which later made my big Zhumadian......

"Well, okay!"

Senior Sister An Ya was also amused, this name is indeed not as good as the original.

Suzhou is better, and has reverted to its elegant name - "Gusu".

"Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship" is a famous sentence.

The saddest thing is the "Zaozhuang King", people used to be called "Lanling King"!
