Republic of China game

"Okay, I understand, you can go at ease." Meng Guanglong replied bleakly.The surrounding officers saw this scene without exception. The 25rd Division was fighting hard for the past two days. The 25rd Division took the lead in the attack on the first day.Today's blockade is basically using the third division to block the guns, and the [-]th division was defeated early in the morning.

"Brothers, hold on a little longer, and we'll be able to retreat when it gets dark." Meng Guanglong raised his head to look at the father-in-law sun who was still radiating light and heat in the sky. When will it be dark?

"Boom——" At this time, the shelling of the Kuomintang army began again.At the end of a round of hand-to-hand combat, the infantry of the Kuomintang army was busy consolidating the position they had just captured, while the artillery cleared the way for the next charge.At this moment, the battle commanded by Chen Cheng is a bit of a shadow of artillery coordination, but it is still very rudimentary, similar to that of Napoleon's era.Several portable Min 13 mountain cannons were dragged to the ruins of Shaping Town, and shells were poured from one ruin to another. Hehe, the bombs must be less expensive than shells.Dozens of 75mm mountain artillery shells flew out of the muzzle and spun towards their destination. A large piece of rubble where the immediate army was hiding. When the shell exploded, it instantly turned into a dozen orange fireballs. Countless metal fragments swept across under the action of the shock wave. Throughout the ruins, more than a dozen immediate soldiers hiding in the ruins were instantly smashed to pieces. Burnt corpses were scattered everywhere, exuding an unpleasant smell of burning and strong gunpowder smoke.

"Comrades, charge with me!" A Kuomintang officer who looked like a white-faced scholar shouted, and he was the first to charge up with a bayonet, followed by about a platoon of soldiers.This person's name is Huang Wei, and he is a platoon leader of Chen Cheng's eleventh division, oh, he is already a company commander.In today's battle, he and Chen Mingren were promoted to be company commanders because of their bravery in combat.

Huang Wei's attack went smoothly, without any casualties.Line soldiers stationed at the ruins were originally hiding in a converted bomb crater.But unfortunately, in the shelling just now, a 75mm shell hit the crater. Except for one dying soldier of the dozen Zhijun soldiers, all of them were regarded as dead.

"Looking north at Manchuria, the Bohai Sea is full of storms. I think back then, the Jijiang River sank, and the people were happy. There were fences in front of Changbai Mountain, and the city walls on the banks of the Heilongjiang River. Today, Japanese pirates are at the helm. The situation is evil! Jiawu War, land reduction; Jiachen War, sovereignty Falling. The country is the same as before, and the Yi people are scattered. When will I be ordered to raise the sharp brigade, restore the old rivers and mountains in the First World War, but return, and travel in Pengshan forever, and read Amitabha." The deep and sad singing voice came from nowhere, but it was directly related The military song of the third division.

"Who is singing? Look around, why is there someone singing?" Huang Wei listened to the lyrics and felt that there was an anti-imperialist meaning, and he probably was some revolutionary comrade who was seriously injured. Uh, he had to be rescued quickly.

"Company commander, I found it, but there is only half of it." After a while, the half of the bloody torso was carried to Huang Wei by a few fat soldiers.This is also a handsome young soldier with blood all over his body, and his rank cannot be seen.

"Comrade, which part are you from? Is it from our Huangpu?" Huang Wei looked at the dying comrade, his eyes were a little moist, he suppressed his grief and comforted: "Comrade, we have won, the third division of Marshal Wu was defeated We are defeated, so you can go at ease!"

"You, you are talking nonsense, our third division will not be defeated! Our Marshal Wu will lead us to wipe out the barbarians! Restore the mountains and rivers! We will not fail!" This enemy who is suspected of being a revolutionary comrade uttered his last words , and then tilted his head, he lost his soul.

"Eh? So it's the enemy? So you also want to wipe out the barbarians and restore the country?" Huang Wei's nerdy mind was a little stuck for a moment. Why does this enemy think the same as us?Isn't the enemy supposed to betray the country?Uh, I have to ask Vice President Luo about this question in the future.

"Company commander, this, why don't we dig a hole and bury it?" Although he was an enemy, he still won the respect of several soldiers.Ordinary Chinese soldiers in this era are not simple, and they can't do the evil deeds of ruining the enemy's corpse.

"Okay, you can bury them all in a pit, and let them have a companion below." Huang Wei waved his hands and ordered the soldiers to bury the scattered fragments of the enemy's corpses together, while he lit a cigarette , thinking about the problem while smoking.

At 1924 pm on October 10, 2, after ten hours of fighting, the Sixth Brigade of the Third Division of the Direct Line was finally driven out of Shaping Town. Both sides paid the price of thousands of people for this town that had been reduced to ruins .After taking Shaping Town, the two divisions of the Kuomintang can attack the Guangdong-Han Railway at any time, thereby threatening the enemy's flank.

Shaping fell, and the news of the defeat of the Sixth Brigade reached the Zhijun Command of Guanfeng Temple like a death notice.When all the generals heard the bad news, they were all ashamed, and there was only one thought in their minds, which was to board the train down the mountain and run back to Hankou.But is it okay to run back to Hankou?This is a question Xiao Yaonan has to consider.Now there is no news of my five local brigades, and it must be in danger.As for the four divisions and two brigades in my hands, two divisions have suffered at least [-]% casualties, and basically lost their combat effectiveness. The other two divisions and two brigades are entwined with the enemy, and it is very difficult to resist the attack of the enemy's superior forces. , Casualties are estimated to be more than [-]%.If we retreat now, it is tantamount to abandoning the last living force, so what else can Hubei do to defend?Now Jiangxi is about to fall, and if Hubei falls again, I am afraid that Anhui will not be able to hold it. In the end, only Jiangsu can keep it?In this way, the four provinces directly under the central government in the south are all over!

According to the distribution method of Chinese local taxation and the central government at that time, tariffs and salt tax (provinces not directly under the central government basically have to withhold salt tax) belonged to the central government.This is also the reason why Mr. Zhongshan had a conflict with Britain in 1923 because of customs duties. In addition, the Feng faction in the Northeast relied on the support of Japanese imperialism to also withhold tariffs.But other warlords did not dare to do this, so the tariff centers in Shanghai and Zhejiang can still get it.If the direct line loses the four southern provinces, it is conceivable that the Kuomintang will definitely unify the south, and Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin will not be able to keep Shanghai.At that time, the central government's tax revenue may be reduced by [-]% to [-]%, right?Such a direct army did not need to be attacked by Zhang, and would starve to death.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yaonan had no choice but to brazenly ask Ma Rusong for help.He said: "Ru Song, do you think the Fifth Brigade will be dispatched again?" The Fifth Brigade still has about 500 people, and it is the last force in Xiao Yaonan's hands. It was originally for the seeds left by Wu Peifu. I don't want to use it anymore, but there is no way now, my army is about to collapse, and only the fifth brigade can save the situation.

"Xiao Shuai, I'll go, but in front of everyone, I, Ma Rusong, have to speak clearly with everyone. Today, our third division is going all out to fight for a way out for the brothers. If the commander is in trouble in the future, you have to think about today." , No one is allowed to be sorry to the Commander!" The direct titan who was wrapped in gauze like a mummy finally threw down these words, and walked out of the headquarters with the support of the guards to command the troops to fight.

At this time, the situation on the Laodaohe battlefield has undergone tremendous changes. The originally long battle line has become much shorter with the retreat of the direct army.The left wing of the immediate army had completely collapsed, the right wing was pushed back 3 kilometers by An Sihua, and the flank retreated to a hillside to hold on. At this time, the frontal width was only about 4 kilometers.The remaining more than 2 direct officers and soldiers continued to resist relying on this last line of defense, waiting for the night to fall.

Chapter 0094 revolution in trading ([-])

The gunfire of the Laodao River battle finally gradually faded away after night fell, until finally the entire vast land returned to silence again.At this time, the Kuomintang and the two direct armies have completely disengaged.This battle that determined the fate of tens of millions of people came to an end with the victory of the Kuomintang army.The direct line dispatched four divisions and ten brigades with an army of more than 7 people. After two days of offensive and defensive battles, only more than 3000 people withdrew from the battlefield. For the rest of the brigade, the direct lineage could finally gather no more than 3 troops.In other words, in the two-day battle, the direct loss of the army was close to [-]!The losses of the Kuomintang army were much smaller. The nine divisions participating in the battle suffered nearly [-] casualties in the two-day battle, and since the Kuomintang army captured about [-] people in this battle, the loss of troops was very fast. It can be supplemented.

On the night of October 10, with the end of the Laodaohe Battle, Zhao Hengti and his Four King Kongs, who knew the result of the outcome, immediately made the right choice and opened the gates of the city to join the revolution.The four divisions of the Hunan Army under Zhao Hengti all left Changsha City to accept the reorganization of the Kuomintang.According to the order of the Military Commission, the four Hunan Army divisions were broken up and reorganized, and most of the officers at the company and platoon levels were replaced, and the officers at the battalion and regiment levels were also exchanged with other divisions. The designations of the No. 2, 20, 31, and 32 divisions of the Revolutionary Army were officially annexed by the Kuomintang.He Yaozu, Liu Jia, Ye Kaixin, and Tang Shengzhi still served as teachers.So far, Hunan's military and government have been completely unified except for Chen Quzhen, the king of Xiangxi who lives in a corner.

At the same time as the battle in Hunan, the six divisions of Jiangxi Cheng Qian and Bai Chongxi were also making rapid progress.At that time, Jiangxi was guarded by the First Division of the Central Army and several Jiangxi mixed brigades.The first division of the Beiyang Army seems to have a strong name, but it is not the case at all. The predecessor of this army was composed of young and strong people selected from the bannermen of the Qing Dynasty, and it was a direct descendant of the previous dynasty.However, if you imagine the virtues of the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty, you will know what happened to the first division.Since the first division entered the Republic of China, except for being the number one, it must be the bottom one in the Beiyang Central Army in other things, including combat effectiveness of course.But Bai Chongxi, who was sent to attack them this time, had two Guangxi divisions "as fierce as tigers and as evil as wolves"-the 13th Division and the 14th Division.There is no suspense in this kind of battle. The entire Jiangxi campaign was basically pursued by the Kuomintang army. Cai Chengxun's first division was retreating, and finally the entire army was wiped out. As for the few Jiangxi local divisions, there was even less suspense. It's just watching the wind and collapsing.Once the war on the Hunan side is over, the Jiangxi side will almost also be dominated by the Kuomintang.

In Dading, Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, the pressure from Chiang’s side came. Luo Yaoguo and Bai Chongxi both made a successful start and established a large territory. You have been busy for a long time as the chairman of the military committee. Why is there only half of Zhejiang?Fortunately, Xia Chao, the head of the Zhejiang military and police who had just become the governor of Zhejiang, had sent an educator named Ma Xulun to find the National Revolutionary Army's First Front Army Headquarters in Jinhua.

"Ma Yichu (Ma Xulun) wants to see you?" Hearing Jiang Xiaoxian's announcement, Lao Jiang's eyes rolled and he knew that the local snakes in Zhejiang could not hold their breath.Chiang Kai-shek chuckled: "Please, please."

welcome?He didn't come to the gate to greet him in person.Ma Xulun suppressed his unhappiness a little bit, and didn't bother to care about this villain Chiang Kai-shek. His main task was to prevent the loss of life in his hometown, and to maintain the prosperity, stability, democracy and freedom of Zhejiang.

Ma Xulun followed Jiang Xiaoxian to the conference room of Chiang Kai-shek's headquarters, and Lao Jiang was standing at the door to greet him with a smile.

"Mr. Yichu is here. Zhongzheng welcomes you for being far away. Forgive me, forgive me. Please come in, sir. Zhongzheng has prepared some wine and banquets here. Please do appreciate it." Lao Jiang actually respected intellectuals very much, but Intellectuals at that time had a sense of justice and could not understand Chiang Kai-shek's arbitrariness.

"Jie Gong brought an army of one hundred thousand back to his hometown this time, and he is full of majesty!" Ma Xulun said something, as if he was blaming Lao Jiang for bringing the war to Zhejiang.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled apologetically and said: "This time, Zhongzheng led troops to assist Zhejiang under the order of the Military Commission." It cannot be said that he followed the order of Mr. Zhongshan, and he has already "retired from illness".

"Isn't Mr. Jie the chairman of the Military Commission?" Ma Xulun asked back.

"Zhongzheng is just a convener. The decision of the military committee is made jointly by all the members of the military committee." Chiang Kai-shek took Ma Xulun by the hand and invited him into the conference room, while explaining the current leadership structure of the Kuomintang.

After the guests and hosts were seated, the negotiations between the two sides came to the fore. Ma Xulun went straight to the point at the beginning. He said: "The problems in Zhejiang can be solved by the Zhejiang people themselves. It is not bad for the soldiers from the south. Our governor Xia hopes that the Zhejiang people will rule Zhejiang. If this is the case, then Don't bother with the Chairman's army, we will deal with Sun Chuanfang by ourselves."

Lao Jiang sneered: "General Dinghou (Xia Chao) is from Zhejiang, so I, Jiang, am not from Zhejiang? There is no problem with the provincial chairman giving General Xia, but Zhejiang's military and police must be reorganized, and Zhejiang must also follow the training methods. As for Sun Chuanfang, are we afraid that our [-] troops will not be able to defeat him?"

Hearing Lao Jiang's conditions, Ma Xulun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt bad.This time he was invited by Zhejiang Governor Xia Chao to fight for "Zhejiang people to govern Zhejiang", at least to avoid reorganizing Zhejiang military and police and implementing political training in Zhejiang.Similar to Guangdong, Zhejiang has been a province where revolutionary parties have gathered since the late Qing Dynasty, and Zhejiang's people's wisdom is also ahead of other parts of the country.Intellectuals in Zhejiang are very disgusted with the Kuomintang's "political training", including Ma Xulun.

Ma Xulun said indifferently: "Hehe, if the chairman's [-] troops can eliminate Sun Chuanfang, why delay until today? The battles in Jiangxi and Hunan were already over before they started. Could it be that the young people are full of energy?"

"Thank you, Mr. Yichu, for the reminder. Now that the two lakes, Jiangxi and Anhui will be settled, by that time our Kuomintang will have 30 troops to take over Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Lao Jiang shook his head slightly and said, "I am afraid that the chairman of the National Government of Zhejiang Province will His surname is no longer Xia."

"30! Does the Kuomintang have that many troops?" Ma Xulun also knew that the warlords of the Republic of China were bluffing, so half of the so-called 30 is not bad.

"Hehe, even Wu Ziyu's third division was defeated by us, how is Sun Chuanfang's second division compared to the third division?" Lao Jiang didn't answer directly, but brought out the victory of Laodaohe to brag.

The story of the Laodaohe battle was spread all over the country immediately, and Xia Chao and Ma Xulun naturally knew about it.Otherwise, Ma Xulun would not have come to Jinhua in such a hurry to meet Chiang Kai-shek.Moreover, Sun Chuanfang's second division fought repeatedly against the Kuomintang during this period, with fewer and fewer soldiers and smaller territories.Now it can only rely on Zhou Yinren's mixed brigade and a part of the defected Zhejiang army to barely maintain the territory near Hangzhou.

The reason why Jiang did not attack Hangzhou was not because he could not beat Sun Chuanfang. Although Jiang was not good at fighting, he had Li Jishen, Liang Hongkai, Zhang Minda, Zhang Fakui and a bunch of Guangdong warriors to assist him.The more than 1 people who beat Sun Chuanfang and Zhou Yinren had no difficulty at all. Even if Xia Chao's Zhejiang soldiers went up together, they couldn't hold back the Guangdong soldiers who charged in groups.The reason why Lao Jiang stood still in Jinhua was waiting for the result of the negotiations in Shanghai.

Zhang Jingjiang, Song Ziwen, Chen Guofu and others had already arrived in the Shanghai Concession and began to contact a group of bigwigs from Anhui. Since the news of the Laodaohe victory came, the Kuomintang finally raised its demands.

"What! No way! Absolutely no way!" In the luxury suite of Shanghai Huamao Hotel, a fat middle-aged soldier was in a state of rampage.Opposite him sat a disabled person.The fat and white soldier is Xu Shuzheng, the Anhui general, Duan Qirui's most trusted person, and the emaciated man with a strong body and a strong will is Zhang Jingjiang, the rightist leader of the Kuomintang, and the next mayor of Shanghai.Zhang Jingjiang came to visit Xu Shuzheng today to tell him the good news that he will be the mayor.However, Xu Shuzheng didn't seem too happy about it.

"You KMT is really deceiving people too much! Without the support of our elder Duan Zhi, would you be where you are today! Without Lu Zijia giving you weapons, ammunition and military expenses, would you be able to win Guangdong and Guangxi! Now you don't even let Shanghai and Zhejiang go, you want us Going to Shandong, no way! Do you believe it or not that we turned around and joined hands with Wu Ziyu to beat your Kuomintang?" Xu Shuzheng said furiously, if Zhang Jingjiang was not disabled, old Xu Wanbi's fist would have hit him long ago.

The Kuomintang went too far this time, and actually proposed to let the troops of Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin go to Shandong!Can Shandong compare with Zhejiang and Shanghai?Day by day!The Anhui soldiers who are used to eating in Shanghai will die bitterly if they go to Shandong?

"Mr. Tieshan has something to discuss. I am here on behalf of the Kuomintang to discuss with you. Uh, don't wave this fist. We are all civilized people." Seeing the two big men getting closer to him Fist, Zhang Jingjiang secretly scolded Chiang Kai-shek in his heart.What should I do with this errand?Isn't this trying to dig out the roots of the Anhui system?Can people agree?Do you want to add more space?Thinking of this, Zhang Jingjiang smiled slightly: "Why don't we take out Xuzhou and Huaibei guardian envoys to your side?"

"Shanghai! We absolutely cannot give up Shanghai." Xu Shuzheng saw that there was a play and made some appropriate concessions, willing to give up Zhejiang.This Zhejiang is no longer in the hands of the Anhui Department. It seems good to give up a piece of territory that is not in their hands and keep Shanghai that is still in their hands.

"Shanghai is absolutely impossible." Zhang Jingjiang shook his head vigorously. He is the default mayor of Shanghai. If he gives up Shanghai, he will be the mayor. Fortunately, the KMT still has candies to give: "Tie Shan Gong , do you see if this works? We will take out the parts north of the Huaihe River in Jiangsu and Anhui, and then help you seize the Shandong territory, and then pay another 1925 million yuan every year since 500. In addition, in the future, the top leader of the Chinese coalition government If the candidate is selected, we can support Zhi Lao, and we can support you Zhi Lao in the future."

Chapter 0095 Revolution in Trading ([-])

At that time, Zheng Shiqi, the governor of Shandong, was also nominally from the Anhui Clique, but he was a guy with two ends of the head. He actually chose to be neutral in this decisive battle that determined the future and destiny of China!Hehe, I don't know how his brain grows, does he think that if Luo Wu wins, he will let him go because of his neutrality?Or did he think that if the Feng Faction and the Kuomintang had won head-on, Mr. Duan Zhi would not pursue his actions of sitting on the fence?Anyway, now his territory has been assigned to Lu Yongxiang by default. Lu Yongxiang will be the governor of Shandong, He Fenglin will be the governor of Shandong, and Zang Zhiping and Yang Huazhao will each have a guardian envoy to guard Xuzhou and Huaibei.This is also fair, but the co-pay is a little less.

"The annual salary of 500 million yuan is really too little." Xu Shuzheng shook his fat head and said, "At least 1000 million yuan is enough. Besides, we can't move the arsenal in Shanghai. How will we solve the problem when we go to Shandong? You have to do it too." Give compensation."

"1000 million?" Zhang Jingjiang's face was full of pain, but his heart was filled with joy.If you give 1000 million yuan every year, a fool would not agree to it if you change it to another site, but Shanghai is different, 1000 million yuan is really too cheap.At that time, Shanghai was the economic, financial and shipping center of East Asia, China's largest and perhaps the largest trade port in East Asia, and the annual customs surplus was worth hundreds of millions. Hehe, in the past, the Anhui Department did not dare to intercept it, and the KMT did not have so many scruples.In addition, Shanghai's industry and commerce are also extremely developed. The annual tax of 2000 million is that He Fenglin, a Beiyang warrior, can't settle accounts. If Zhang Jingjiang, a Nanxun giant, manages it, it will not be a problem to double it.Finally, there is finance. Shanghai can not only collect taxes but also borrow money. As long as Shanghai is in hand, it is not a problem to issue hundreds of millions of public bonds to raise funds.

"Okay! I will do this for Mr. Jie, 1000 million is 1000 million!" Zhang Jingjiang gritted his teeth and agreed.Then he changed his smiling face to talk about arms. He said: "I think the matter of arms is as good as this. Shandong is rich in coal. Our Kuomintang is now going to build a steel plant and needs a lot of coal. You can exchange coal for arms. What does General Shan want?"

"Oh? Shandong still has coal?" Xu Shuzheng used to think that Shandong only had pancake rolls with green onions and Wu Peifu, but now he heard that there is still coal, so he nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine too. It can be done by exchanging coal for arms. In the end It’s that kind of coalition government, how to implement it specifically?”

How to do it?Zhang Jingjiang didn't know either, but he couldn't say that he didn't know, otherwise what would happen to this negotiation?Zhang Jingjiang thought for a while and said: "Now our prime minister is seriously ill, so he can't preside over the central government himself, but the central government always needs someone to do it, right? After thinking about it, the only one who can be the leader of the central government is Duan. There are two old Zhi and Zhang Yuting."

"Zhang Yuting! You want a red beard (bandit) to be the central government?" Xu Shuzheng immediately retorted when he heard that Zhang Zuolin could also be the "central government".

"So, after we think about it, Elder Zhi and General you are more suitable to be the supreme leader of China." Zhang Jingjiang quickly granted the empty title of the central government.Alas, if Mr. Sun Yat-sen didn't feel that his time was short, he would have to do it by himself anyway. Now he has to take advantage of Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng.

In fact, Chiang Kai-shek, the empty central government, really wants it, but the political life in the Kuomintang is not normal now.Although Mr. Zhongshan "retired from illness", he still holds power. He knows that he is dying, so he has no energy to manage major affairs of the central government, but other KMT leaders who have energy do not dare to propose to do it.

At this time, the smoke of war has permeated the entire land of China, and a full-scale civil war has begun. Hundreds of thousands of Feng troops are fighting fiercely along the Great Wall. With the support of superior artillery, Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling, Jiang Dengxuan and others commanded the Fengjun First Army and Third Army to attack Shanhaiguan. land.At the same time, the two front armies of the Kuomintang, which defeated the Zhili warlords in Hunan and Jiangxi, began to attack Hubei and Anhui respectively after a short rest, and the flames of civil war gradually became stronger and stronger.

However, Lu Yongxiang and Qi Xieyuan, who triggered this nationwide warlord melee, have already called a truce.The two of them have finally figured it out now. It turns out that on the stage of China's hegemony in troubled times, they have always been insignificant and small roles, and the real big picture is not achieved by the two of them.And now they can't fight anymore.Lu Yongxiang already knew the result of the final negotiation between the Kuomintang and the Anhui faction. Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu all belonged to the Kuomintang!He went to Shandong to replace Zheng Shiqi as the military governor.In addition, there are the two towns of Xuzhou and Huaibei and the annual salary of 1000 million, as well as coal for arms.But apart from the Shandong Warlord, I am afraid that Lu Yongxiang will not have any other benefits. What else is there to start this battle?Qi Xieyuan's fight became more and more useless. Since Jiangxi and Hunan were captured by the Kuomintang, Chen Tiaoyuan, who had come to help, had already taken the 24th Division and several Anhui brigades back to rescue.The reinforcements in Jiangxi have long been wiped out, and the troops in Hubei have already returned to Hubei to protect their old nest.Even Sun Chuanfang and Zhou Yinren were retreating steadily, hiding in the city of Hangzhou and weeping. The whole army was wiped out at some point. Now the only hope is that Yushuai can defeat General Zhang and lead his troops south to save lives.Hehe, but looking at the battle in Shanhaiguan, it seems that the future is very bleak.Therefore, Qi Xieyuan simply took the troops back to Nanjing to defend the city and wait to die.
