Just when the army on the front line of the Yangtze River was slowly advancing, the army of the Chain Hammer Society was lightning under the city of Shucheng, and the grenadier suppressed the gun-raising fire on the head of the city, and after a burst of explosion, the people who were temporarily organized on the wall of Shucheng dispersed, Shucheng is not an important city after all, the Qing Dynasty did not deploy the army with combat effectiveness here after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was suppressed, and the suppression of the rifle fire of the Chain Hammer Society Tong Guò Rope Ladder climbed the city wall and occupied the entire Shu City within three hours. Originally, the Hammer Society had prepared a blasting canister with yellow explosives to carry out blasting operations, but unfortunately it was not used. After the fall of Shucheng, the Qing army deployed in Wuhu, Anqing, accelerated the pace of the march, but Cheng Pan once again sacrificed the magic weapon of mine warfare. The old army, who was pampered in the big city, had nothing to do and wandered around with his salary, anyway, he went out once a few days and the rest of the time was to contribute to the service industry. At this time, they had just taken a sum of money in their hands, and finally invited these old soldiers to move. But on the way, it was attacked by a bomb in the soil and never moved again, at this time, the old army of the Qing army marched in a queue like the later generations, and the army of the later generations was the front row of troops, and the mines should be on the mines to advance in a line to minimize the number of killed by mines, but this requires the iron will of the soldiers, and the soldiers standing in the front row must hold the determination to die, and the entire Qing army is scattered and advanced. After a bomb attack, the vanguard immediately broke back, and then there was no enemy now, cautiously advanced, but after advancing a distance, it was bombed, and after a few times, the Qing soldiers did not advance, no matter how the officers scolded, these low-level soldiers were not willing to go when they were in danger of their lives, at this time the officers of the Qing Dynasty did not have the courage to kill the military law, and now the soldiers have guns, and if they go too far, they will be shot with black guns, and it is also possible to force too hard to mutiny, Moreover, at this time, the signs of militarization of the Qing army had already begun, and the officers began to regard their subordinate forces as private property, and began to encircle the soldiers on a certain course. For a while, the army began to hesitate, of course, there is another way is to let the common people come to the mines, this is generally the ability of the troops from other provinces, and now it is not more than 100 miles away from home, and the families of the soldiers are still in this range, so they will wait to be driven out of Anhui by their fathers and villagers after the war. The two troops of Wuhu and Anqing slowed down, and did not gather together quickly at the critical moment. The Hammer Society troops gathered 7,000 people and pressed towards the new army of Anqing.
The battle was carried out at night, because the Qing Dynasty still occupied the artillery advantage, after the battle of Hubei, the Chain Hammer Society was not ready to let the Qing army wave the long-range firepower advantage, the night battle began, at this time the moon was half exposed, the silver sand like the moonlight just supported the night battle and the artillery in the night could not see where the enemy was at all, the Qing troops around gathered together, feeling that there were enemies everywhere, the troops of the Chain Hammer Society were attacking on a skirmish line, there was no machine gun fire, if the Qing army could muster up the courage to implement the bayonet fully, it could still break through the siege of the Chain Hammer Society's army, But when bullets came from all directions, Anqing's Qing army instinctively shrank into a ball. The bombs that fell from the sky not only brought heavy casualties to the Qing army, but also declared the defeat of the Qing army. In the end, the battle was not a matter of killing, and the slogan of surrendering the gun and not killing was sounded, and the Qing army on the opposite side shouted that there would be no fight and no fight. After the surrender, these Qing soldiers were still nervous that the Hammer Society would kill the prisoners, but after screening, the Hammer Society gave all the officers a tael of silver for the passage and let them go back. The rest of the people's congress will carry out reform education in Shucheng. Except for the 1,000 people who escorted the prisoners, the remaining troops hurried to the Qing army in Wuhu.
Cheng Pan is now a little depressed, he has a team of at least 8,000 people on hand with the captured belt, and the battle between Jianghuai and Huai is easy to fight, and there are more weapons than soldiers, which is completely not in line with the routine of TG rebellion, Cheng Pan decided to expand the army after preparing to go back this time. And the army must be expanded to more than the number of weapons possessed, wartime weapons can be made and captured, but the soldiers can not come out of thin air Wuhu's army After being surrounded, the Chain Hammer Society once again sacrificed the propaganda station offensive, and the black and white photos of the captured troops in Anqing were passed on, and the surrender policy of the Chain Hammer Society also informed them, plus the "persuasion" of the grenadier canister Wuhu This unit was finally disarmed. Militarily, Anhui south of the Huai River and north of the Yangtze River has no resistance force, but Cheng Pan did not liberate the big cities along the Yangtze River, at this time foreign warships are rampant on the Yangtze River, if they hit a few naval guns on the troops of the Chain Hammer Society, the Chain Hammer Society really has no choice, and foreign forces will never sit and watch an unknown force that is not honest occupy the major trade port routes of the Yangtze River, and the Chain Hammer Society will never compromise with foreign forces on the cruising rights of the Yangtze River army, and Cheng Pan will no longer expand the economy within the range of the enemy's naval guns. This is bound to be subject to man's control. Instead of taking down a big city that must be nested in front of foreigners, it is better to go to the north to exhibit. Establishment of an industrial base. Huoqiu County was occupied when the Chain Hammer Society wiped out all the troops in Anhui, and this is the project that the Chain Hammer Society will focus on building, Huoqiu's iron ore is enough to build a large iron and steel enterprise, but there is no coal mine here, but it doesn't matter if the coal transportation is carried out in the early days of the revolution. The second is the workers. There are very few skilled workers, and the Huoqiu Steel Mill cannot recruit technicians from all over the country like Suixi Anhui Steel. Only train workers by themselves. It's very annoying.
In the battle of Tongguò in Jianghuai, the troops summed up their experience, and the defeat of the Qing army was definitely not a defeat in tactics, but a defeat in courage, and if the Qing army dared to use the spirit of bayonet charge, the chain hammer society army using the three-three system tactics would definitely not have an advantage. Cheng Pan knew that he lacked a continuous and fast firepower to contain a large-scale cluster charge, and had an important position as a light machine gunner in the 33 infantry tactics during the TG War. Light machine gun this kind of thing Cheng Pan now dare not think, even if you can make one or two, it is impossible to equip it on a large scale, the structure of the Canadian-made Stern submachine gun was remembered by Cheng Pan, but unfortunately it is the most humble Stern submachine gun during World War II in China in this era is also a luxury, the Stern submachine gun needs a large number of stamping machines to reach a certain Cheng dù, even if Cheng Pan buys this thing. The population controlled by the Chain Hammer Society now does not have that cultural element zhì operation, education, education, and education, which has blocked the path of many countries. However, the days of fighting with the armies of foreign powers are still long, and there is no hurry for the time being, so let's build the Huoqiu Iron and Steel Plant first.
The Chain Hammer Society carried out an agrarian revolution in central Anhui and northern Hubei Province, and a large number of large families began to flee to expose the evil deeds of the Chain Hammer Society, but in this way, the Qing Dynasty looked down on the Chain Hammer Society, and the ruling class of the Heavenly Plane, they all regarded the workers' and peasants' revolution as a peasant uprising. The attitude of the Qing Dynasty rulers towards the gentry class was that as long as they did not stand on the side of their opponents, as for the landlords who ran to Anqing Hefei to cry and complain. The Qing Dynasty could only comfort two sentences, saying that the thugs must be severely punished, and the Qing Dynasty would be a bright and clear country. As for the rest, I'm sorry this is a war, there were more big families who died during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so you have the life to come back. But the Qing Dynasty also had a headache for the Chain Hammer Society, although it was a peasant uprising, but the combat effectiveness of the peasant army was too strong, and the Qing Dynasty's policy on this was to avoid its edge and strictly defend several large cities, and defend step by step to limit the expansion of the Chain Hammer Society. As for the deployment of troops to exterminate it is impossible now, the Qing Dynasty's financial crisis, although there are still Gan Army, Yi Army in the north, Yuan Shikai has also trained in the small station for two years and 5,000 Dingwu Army, but there is really no money to mobilize these troops.
Li Hongzhang hurriedly found Wangang after the chain hammer society exterminated the army of the Yangtze River generation, and opened his mouth to ask Cheng Pan to borrow money, and the amount of borrowed money is as much as possible, Cheng Pan pretended to be concerned and asked if it was a problem of suppressing bandits, Li Hongzhang nodded. Li Hongzhang came to find it in person instead of sending someone to explain that he was pulling down the old face to beg, Cheng Pan naturally wanted to give this face, Cheng Pan nodded solemnly and then took him into the warehouse, and the warehouse prepared 26o taels of silver, Cheng Pan: "Lord Zhongtang, I also want to leave 3o thousand taels of silver as working capital, this 23o taels is feasible." I have to say that Cheng Pan's liar moved Li Zhongtang. At this time, Cheng Pan said that he hoped that Li Zhongtang could send a force to protect the steel mill, but the current form is that the Chain Hammer Society has not expanded to the north and the southern Anhui and Nanjing generations are the economic centers that the Qing Dynasty attaches great importance to, this Li Hongzhang was a little skeptical, and after a while Li Hongzhang made up his mind and said: "The situation is difficult now, and the imperial court cannot take care of your factory now, but you have so many young and strong people here, I will ask the imperial court to let you form a Panzi army here, and I will give you two battalions of army expansion standards." Of course, Cheng Pan knew that the Qing Dynasty was ready to abandon the defense of Huaibei and retreat to Shandong, and recently the surveillance troops in Suzhou had withdrawn. However, the more the drama has to be done at this time, Cheng Pan pretended to be a little suspicious and said: "Lord Zhongtang, will this make the court suspicious." Li Zhongtang said: "It's too difficult for the imperial court now, it's really time for these new bandits to make trouble, at this time it's right to help the imperial court share the sorrows, and this is how the old man was reused by the imperial court back then." Cheng Pan finally looked stern and secretly agreed.
After getting permission to form a patrol battalion, Cheng Pan explored the policy of the imperial court again, whether to suppress or appease the Sickle Hammer Society. Li Hongzhang's tone of speech is disdain for the Sickle Hammer Society. Cheng Pan learned about the imperial court's opinion of the Sickle Hammer Society this time. Thinking that the Sickle Society is just a destructive rogue who will not govern the place, once it is eaten in one place, it will definitely expand, as long as the Sickle Society is blocked under the big city, the resistance of the Sickle Society will be weak, and when the time comes, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Regarding this kind of thought, Cheng Pan can only say that the vision of people in this era is limited, or Jiang Gong can see through who is the biggest threat to his country at a glance. You must know that when the Huizhou Uprising, Sun Yat-sen and a few people were only at the level of more than 100 shootouts, and the Qing Dynasty sent people to appease the feudal officials and make a wish, and now the Sickle Hammer Society has eliminated tens of thousands of troops in Hubei and Anhui provinces, and the attitude of the Qing Dynasty is still so tough, Cheng Pan feels that it is really the luck of his own side to have this stupid enemy.
The Qing Dynasty was not in a hurry to attack the Sickle Society, and naturally it would not take the initiative to provoke, and it was true to firmly grasp the administrative power of the land. While the Qing army was holding on to the city and waiting for the first wave of the Sickle and Hammer Society, the Great Revolution of the working class passed the most dangerous period and laid the foundation for future exhibitions.
