1890 King of Southeast Asia

September 3rd, at 2 pm.

"Leader, the time has arrived." The chief of staff closed the pocket watch.

"How is the people withdrew?" Hu Weijie held the telescope and looked at his offensive direction.

Unsurprisingly, the dense sheds blocked most of the sight and could not see many things.

"It's not clear." The chief of staff of the Tuan also picked up the telescope and started to observe.

"We estimate in advance that at most 10,000 people in this shantytown, but between 11 o'clock and one or two hours, there are no less than 20,000 people here." The reunion sighed.

"Time has arrived, let the artillery, let's fire!" Hu Weijie's tone did not fluctuate at all, just nodded.

"Yes!" The Chief of Staff of the Mission lowered the telescope and nodded towards the waiting combat staff.

"Fighting!" The combat staff kept the phone, and saw the chief of staff nodded, and immediately said to the phone.

boom!

The 105mm farm cannon sprayed a thick smoke, and the artillery shells flew towards the county walls of more than 2,000 meters away.

The cannon shells smashed the bricks and exploded violently in the rammed soil layer.

The depth of the explosion is about half a meter, and the energy generated leaves a small pit on the city wall.

A shell, even if it is 105 mm, can be called the shells of the Army's heavy artillery, and did not destroy the city walls with a thickness of five or six meters.

Although the rammed soil is soil, the texture is relatively close. After the thickness reaches a certain degree, even heavy guns need to hit multiple times to destroy.

Unless it is a large -caliber Army cannon, it is possible to destroy a section of the city walls, such as the big Bellta, or the Dorra cannon.

The shell lasted only fifteen minutes, and after a period of about 100 meters long, the artillery was silent.

"Attack." Hu Weijie nodded, and the battle was pretty good.

In order to win the city as soon as possible and complete the task, Hu Weijie dispatched a camp at one time.

This is one -half of the infantry in his hand. Hundreds of people are scattered, and the mighty move towards the collapsed wall.

Along the way, the revolutionary soldiers did not encounter any obstacles. The Qing Empire did not mean to send troops to lane. I don't know why I gave up such a good opportunity.

Soon, the striker of the Revolutionary Army arrived at a place less than 500 meters away from the city wall and stopped the pace.

Ten minutes later, the Revolutionary Army raised a mortar and began to shells on the 50 -meter ± 20 -meter area around the collapsed wall.

With the dense black dots, the soldiers touched the position of less than 150 meters by the wall according to the tactical formation.

BOOM! *N.

The explosion of the mortar is relatively small, but it is very dense. The twelve -door mortar combined with the rate of fire per minute, and the sound of more than 80 sounds in one minute.

Bang Bang ...

This is the gunfire of the Revolutionary Army. Hu Weijie was far away, and he only heard some messy bangs.

"Against the resistance." The chief of staff of the Tuan Tuan said to himself.

"How long has the battle began?" Hu Weijie stared at the collapse of the city wall and motionless, and the deputy next to him took out the pocket watch.

"At two o'clock, starting from the infantry, it's half an hour." The deputy said.

Hu Weijie heard his words and stared at the front line.

Some time later, the sound of gunfire became thinner.

Until Hu Weijie could only hear some sound of gunfire, the chief of staff next to him suddenly shouted.

"Look at the tower!"

Hu Weijie immediately looked at the city tower. One year, the blood -red iron star cream flag was inserted on the city building, the city wall, and it took it down!

"Order the second battalion to attack the city, occupy and close all the entry and exit channels, and close the channel in the direction of the concession."

"Order the battalion, attack with the second battalion, seize the barracks and the gates and warehouses."

"Send people to various factories, especially Jiangnan plants, so that workers should not panic, wait for us to send someone to receive."

"By the way, as long as you don't carry a lot of property, you don't have to care about him as long as you don't carry a lot of property."

Hu Weijie happily got one order after another, but the chief of staff of the Trump was a little uneasy.

"Leader, the battle is not over yet, is the risk of scattered troops a little greater?" The chief of staff asked.

He believes that what should be done at this time is to concentrate on attack. After all, it is just breaking through the city walls, and the difficult battle is behind.

However, Hu Weijie's order is basically the rhythm of receiving cities and maintaining order after the victory.

There are thousands of soldiers and horses in Shanghai. Although they are all green camp soldiers and patrol camps, so many people are still defensive, so as not to fail on the city walls, so they completely defeat?

"The chief of staff is more concerned. I am not as good as you in the management of the tactical coordination, infantry offensive tactics, and even the management of the entire regiment, but it is these old troops. No one knows the green camp better than me."

"Seeing the thief and the fugitives are brave, looking at the wind and the fugitives are the middle bravery, and the fugitives are brave."

"It's the green camp."

"Even a slightly larger bandit can defeat the Green Camp."

"If there is only a green camp in the city, we only need to fire a few guns in the city to receive the city smoothly. However, the consideration of the consideration has a certain will of combat, so I chose to be a little stable." Hu Weijie said with a smile.

"So you deliberately release the news. At two in the afternoon, the attack is to make the enemy prepare for defense.

The people in the city also know the style of the green camp, so they will choose to defend the city walls to avoid a large number of deserters and defeat without war. "The chief of staff of the Tuan nodded.

"Under normal circumstances, in a place as lucrative as Shanghai, officials such as the Taotai and the county magistrate are all idiots, and they all have backgrounds."

"These people will not play the game of destroying the city and killing people. They will only push all the troops to the front line to see if they can hold on."

"If they can hold on, they will get the credit. If they can't hold on, they will have time to escape, but it's a pity that the money in the treasury will be emptied." Hu Weijie said with a little regret.

The chief of staff of the regiment was still unsure. After all, if Hu Weijie guessed wrong, he would face street fighting, and the revolutionary army had divided its troops and dispersed its strength. The losses in street fighting would not be small.

But soon he realized that he was really worrying too much.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Iron Blood Star Flag was raised in the county government office, and Shanghai County was officially recovered.

However, what happened afterwards gave Hu Weijie a headache.

The authorities of the concessions and consulates of many countries came to make trouble, and Hu Weijie didn't know how to deal with it at all.

They could only send a message to the brigade, which did not know how to deal with it. They reported it to the higher level one by one, and finally the report came to Lin Pingzhi.

…………

September 4, three towns.

The three towns have now completely calmed down and entered the production mode.

The revolutionary military government has recruited a lot of labor to improve and perfect the infrastructure of the three towns.

The industrial and mining enterprises in the three towns began to operate at full capacity, organized by the revolutionary military government to produce military supplies.

The huge stimulation of the war made the three towns present a thriving scene.

"Good! Good! Our plan has been successful for a small part. Next, we just need to accumulate strength. By this time next year, we can drink a celebratory wine in the capital!" Sun Zaizhi looked at the battle report, and joy appeared on his face.

"After taking Shanghai, everything south of the Yangtze River is in our hands. The Qing Empire has been completely passive. Even if we do nothing, they will gradually weaken. Therefore, this war has come to a conclusion." Lin Pingzhi also said with a smile.

"Then you say, there are still four months before the New Year. Can we..." Sun Zaizhi understood it after a little thought, and then a crazy idea came up.

"Go north?" Lin Pingzhi thought about it and shook his head.

Even though the Qing Empire completely lost control of the financial and taxation areas south of the Yangtze River due to the loss of Shanghai, the development of the revolutionary army has also reached a bottleneck.

In just three months, the revolutionary army has expanded several times, with a total force of 80,000, of which only half are returned from Nanhua or trained in Nanhua, or the new army.

The rest are mainly newly recruited soldiers, most of whom have only received one to two months of training, and some special talents from the old army - such as artillery.

In the past, the revolutionary army required artillery to be educated and able to operate 105 cannons according to the manual. They looked down on artillery with only experience.

Now, they also want those from the old army who have received artillery training and have a clean background.

You know, this kind of artillery can only fire at most, and they don't understand the tactical requirements of artillery at all, such as not knowing how to fight - bombarding each other across hundreds of meters is not considered an artillery fight, that's stubborn!

In addition, the revolutionary army's battle line has been lengthened, its supply capacity is in a critical situation, its mobility has been weakened, and its attack capacity has been seriously reduced.

There are still a large number of old troops in the vast recovery areas, suppressed by officials. Those who are still loyal to the Qing Empire on the surface are fine, at least there is basic order.

In many places, the old troops are out of control and have begun to affect local agricultural production.

There are also various problems such as industrial production, arms production and reserves, etc., which force the revolutionary army to stop and rest.

"It's not possible before the New Year. In fact, according to military theory, we should not take the initiative to launch military operations within a year." Lin Pingzhi shook his head.

"I'm afraid we don't have so much time!" Sun Zaizhi also knew that this was impossible, but time waits for no one!

In the direction of Italy, because of its large appetite and insufficient strength, Italy has been in a stalemate in Libya and Turkey.

The war cannot be ended in a short time, so the powers have breathed a sigh of relief and secretly maintained this situation.

In this way, they have enough energy to return to the Qing Empire.

Liu Yiming hinted that Nanhua would take some actions in it, but there is really not much time left for them.

"The Qing Empire doesn't know our strengths and weaknesses now. Yuan Gongbao sent someone to contact me, hoping to contact the revolutionary army through me. Maybe he wants to jump off the Qing Empire ship?" Lin Pingzhi said.

"Yuan Gongbao?" Sun Zaizhi frowned and pondered for a while.

"Could this be the Qing Empire court delaying time?" It's not very wise for Yuan Gongbao to jump over at this time.

"Who cares? By the way, Shanghai needs to send someone to take charge of the overall situation. Do you have a candidate?" Lin Pingzhi asked.

This person must have a high status and must understand production, diplomacy, and basic urban governance. Lin Pingzhi couldn't think of who to send.

"This is a problem..." Sun Zaizhi was also worried. There were not enough people. Obviously, there were more and more people, but they were getting less and less.

"But it can't be solved. Let Huang Zhengfang go. There is no problem with diplomacy and production, and he can also pull up a headquarters in the military." Sun Zaizhi said.

"And governance? There are all kinds of people. Zhengfang is too young. It's not enough to rely on military strength alone. Now is not the time to settle the accounts." Lin Pingzhi shook his head.

"Then let Li Songqing go with us. Our commander is going to become a monk soon, so let him go out and relax! With Zhengfang watching over him, nothing will happen." Sun Zaizhi thought about it and thought of Li Songqing.

Except for diplomacy and reliability, this person basically meets the requirements. In this case, let him take charge of production and governance, while Huang Zhengfang takes charge of military and diplomacy.

"It just so happens that one plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop, okay." Lin Pingzhi nodded.

"Then what to talk about with Yuan Gongbao..."
