Fengxian Jiangshan

But fortunately, everything was smoother than expected. After the Fengjun took the port, they quickly took control of the railway station. During the whole process, they encountered almost no resistance. The army, all surrendered and ran.

Zhou Zijian rushed to the train station with his men and horses, and when he saw a lot of wagons parked inside, he immediately beamed with joy.

"Brothers, hurry up and get on the train. A Haizhou is nothing, but taking down Xuzhou is the real credit. Everyone, work hard!"

Zhou Zijian and the others got on the train excitedly and headed west at the fastest speed.The Beiyang army along the way seemed to see a monster. They never dreamed that the enemy would come from the east. Isn't this a big joke!Caught off guard, Feng Jun almost reached the outskirts of Xuzhou with little effort.

Xuzhou is the north-south hub, where Jinpu Road and Longhai Road converge, and is the northern gate of Jiangsu, so its importance goes without saying.Although Qi Xieyuan knew that the Feng army was powerful, he still deployed four divisions in Xuzhou.According to his wishful thinking, even if he can't defeat Feng Jun, he must buy enough time.

The commander of the No.19 Division, Bang Duo, was in charge of Xuzhou's defense. In response to the possible southward movement of Fengjun, he lined up four divisions and built a solid line of defense, aiming to block Fengjun's southward movement.

But he did all his calculations, and he didn't expect that the Feng army did not go south from the north, but suddenly appeared from behind, and the shells exploded in the middle of the Beiyang army, blowing up all the people around them to pieces, destroying the fortifications, and All the precious artillery pieces were turned into spare parts.

In a hurry, countless Beiyang soldiers died under the guns of Feng Jun in a daze. By the time Bang Duo got the report, Feng Jun had already entered the train station.Two shells suddenly fell into Bondo's headquarters, and the violent explosion made Bondo shrank under the table in fright.

Chapter 723 British Intervention

"Humble words, Zhou Zijian won Haizhou and is now attacking Xuzhou!"

When Zhang Tinglan heard it, his eyes lit up immediately, and a smile finally appeared on his face: "I didn't expect this kid to move so fast, it's really great!"

Yang Yuting also heaved a sigh of relief in the gang, and showed a happy expression. This battle plan was planned by him alone, and now it has worked, so he is naturally very happy.

In fact, according to the original plan, Zhang Tinglan planned to go all the way south along the Jinpu line, heading straight for Nanjing.During the Revolution of [-] and the Second Revolution, the Beiyang Army followed this route to attack the Southern Revolutionary Party. It has been repeatedly proved that although doing so is well-regulated, it is also an effective method.

But during the preparation, there was a big trouble. Jinpu Road was actually funded by both Britain and Germany. With Hanzhuang in Shandong as the boundary, German technology was used in the north and British technology was used in the south.Although it is the same railway line, the standard is different, so the locomotive needs to be replaced.

This kind of seemingly ridiculous thing is not uncommon on Chinese railways.As the old overlord, the British may not be able to fight the war, but they have a lot of bad ideas. They took back all the locomotives on the southern line and concentrated them in Xuzhou and other places.

In this way, the Feng army could not move quickly along the railway, and the rebels in the south would have time to breathe. It has to be said that the British played very badly.These generals of Fengjun were all furious, and Zhang Henian and others even clamored to go to war against Britain.

But with Weihaiwei taken down, the British had nothing to worry about in the north. Even if the Fengjun wanted to fight the British, they had to go to the south first.

Just when everyone was worrying, Yang Yuting put forward his own opinion: "Vice President, since ancient times, counterinsurgency has always paid attention to the speed of soldiers, and we cannot give the other party time to stabilize the situation. Especially this time, the British sided with the South. Once the delay Over time, British supplies and weapons continued to arrive, and our troubles began."

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "That's true, but without the railway, the materials cannot be transported quickly, and it will not be as fast as you want!"

After Yang Yuting thought for a while, he smiled and said, "If we don't take the railway, it's the same if we take the sea! We have already taken back Jiaozhou Bay from the Japanese. Starting from here, we can easily attack the coastal areas of Jiangsu. I believe that the rebels will take precautions No matter how tight it is. They never imagined that we would launch an operation from the sea."

Zhang Tinglan was also immediately attracted by this idea. After Fengjun took control of Jiaozhou Bay, he established the Qingdao Squadron, and also hoarded a lot of war materials. If this is the base.Feng Jun didn't need to waste time preparing, and could launch an attack immediately.After some discussions.Everyone agreed to the plan.

Now according to the report ahead, this combat strategy has achieved unprecedented success, and the headquarters is also full of joy, but Yang Yuting is still relatively calm, and hurriedly said: "Zhuoyan, although the start is good. But Zhou Zijian only has one brigade of soldiers, and he is stationed in Xuzhou. There are four divisions in the rebel army, and there is a huge difference in strength. Once there is a stalemate, they will suffer, so our reinforcements must keep up!"

Yang Yuting's analysis was not bad at all. Feng Jun relied on a sudden attack and immediately disrupted the defense of the rebels. The headquarters of Bai Baoshan, the commander of Jiangsu First Division, was hit by a shell, and everyone from the division commander down was blown up. Death, all the troops of a division collapsed.

Zhou Zijian commanded the troops, took advantage of the momentum and seized the important areas around the railway station, aimed at the rebels, and bombarded them indiscriminately, even the commander-in-chief Bang Duo almost died.

But after all, Zhou Zijian and his men are still too small, facing the enemy army with four divisions, they seem very thin.After experiencing the initial chaos, Bang Duo finally stabilized. He mobilized the disintegrated First Division to the rear for rectification, and then gathered the remaining three divisions in his hands.

The No.19 Division was in charge of the front, and the Jiangsu Second and Third Divisions were in charge of the two wings. With an absolute superior force, they rushed up to Fengjun desperately.

Bang Duo also knew the importance of Xuzhou. Once it fell, Nanjing would be exposed to the attack of the Feng army. Especially at this time, the southern army's morale was not stable, and it might collapse across the board. Therefore, Bang Duo also took out his life-threatening posture .

He personally led the guards to form a supervising team. Two heavy machine guns stood in front of them. The black muzzles formed a crossfire. Whoever dared to retreat would be beaten into a sieve.

"Brothers, we have won this battle. Everyone is a hero in the founding of the country. From now on, we will have three wives and four concubines. We will be rich and powerful. If we lose the battle, we will have to move our heads. Let me figure out what to do!"

Under the personal supervision of Bang Duo, these rebels could only rush towards the Feng army like a tide.As a unit that fought against Russia and Japan, the soldiers of the First Division certainly did not take these Beiyang units seriously.

The sound of gunfire was like bursting beans. Seeing that the Beiyang army fell down in pieces, the corpses were layered on top of each other, rushing aggressively, and then retreated crying for their father and mother.As if the waves were crashing against the rocks, the counterattacks of the rebels were continuously beaten down.

After three consecutive rounds of attack, it seemed that there was no effect other than increasing casualties. Some veterans gradually felt that something was wrong. Feng Jun's bullets were extremely accurate. Killed, these guys didn't want to die, so they retreated one after another.

Da da da……

The machine gun rang out, and the three soldiers who were retreating were mercilessly shot dead on the spot. Bang Duo seemed to be crazy, holding a pistol, patrolling back and forth, and kept shouting: "Only forward, not backward. "

Finally, after shooting more than a dozen soldiers, the soldiers finally organized an attack again. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed towards Fengjun's position.As the distance got closer, their worried gunshots did not sound.

Could it be that Feng Jun is dead?Relying on their courage, they accelerated their speed, and finally entered within 100 meters. Only then did Feng Jun's gunshots rang out one after another, but they were much weaker than before.

A small officer showed ecstasy on his face: "Brothers, they are out of bullets, please work harder and charge up!"

When the rebels heard the news, they finally cheered up and went to Fengjun.Crazy rushed up.Seeing the Beiyang Army getting closer and closer, the faces of the soldiers of the Feng Army showed disdain. Even if there were no bullets, they would still not be afraid of these mobs.

Finally, the two sides fought hand to hand, and Feng Jun's skillful stabbing skills finally played a role, and one Beiyang army after another was picked to the ground.The cold bayonet pierced through the chest, cut the blood vessels, the red liquid splashed everywhere, and there were desperate cries.Heartbreaking.

Zhou Zijian has been keeping an eye on the situation on the battlefield. Although the casualties of the Feng army are quite small compared to the rebel army, the situation is not optimistic.No one can fight with iron, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands.Some soldiers have already fallen down one after another.

"Ammunition, where's the ammunition? The quartermaster is dead. Don't you know that the brothers are sacrificing?" Zhou Zijian said angrily.

"Brigade Commander. We encountered the Beiyang Army on the road, and the two sides are fighting fiercely."

"I don't care, if I don't see the ammunition within half an hour, then send my head over!

After Zhou Zijian gave the order to die, he grabbed a rifle suddenly.He rushed up with the guards.At this time, the rebels also saw Feng Jun's problem, and the gang of experts who took credit rushed up one after another, and Zhu Xi, the commander of the second division, personally led the troops.rushed to the forefront.

The battlefield has become a bloody killing field, and the cruel hand-to-hand combat tests everyone's nerves.Pooh!The bayonet pierced through the body, and the hand pressed down suddenly, the stomach was cut open, and all the flowery things flowed out.

ah!With a cry of pain, the soldier who had just killed the opponent also had two bayonets in his body, and his life was fleeting.

Just when the willpower contest between the two sides reached the last moment, a commotion suddenly appeared behind the Beiyang Army, and this commotion expanded accordingly.In the sky not far away, a huge fleet appeared, and the planes roared and rushed up.

When these Beiyang soldiers saw this scene, they all ran away in fright, but it was too late. The bomb exploded among the crowd, blooming like the most gorgeous flower, but this flower consumes human life.

The continuous explosions took away the lives of the whole army, and also took away the last courage of the Beiyang Army.The plane lowered its altitude, and the machine gun on the nose was aimed at the panicked soldiers.

da da da... da da da...

As soon as the shuttle shot down, there were more corpses on the ground, and finally more and more people couldn't stand it anymore, and they ran away in a hurry.Those supervising teams didn't work anymore, and in fact the supervising teams didn't have the courage either.

Bang Duo thought he could bully the few with more, so he gritted his teeth and fought desperately, but Feng Jun was like a stubborn rock. They couldn't take it off at all, and their confidence began to waver. The appearance of the plane defeated them even more. With the last confidence, the army inevitably began to rout.

With the arrival of the air force, Zhou Zijian was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly plunged the bayonet into the body of the officer in front of him, and the Beiyang army around them had disappeared.At this moment, the ammunition train finally caught up, and the machine gun mortars were supplied again.The soldiers of the Feng army were like re-armed tigers, chasing the Beiyang army and running around.

At this time, the main force of the Feng army also came from the north. Under the attack from both sides, the rebel army completely collapsed.These people have lost all their courage, and their only thought is to escape as soon as possible, as far as possible, preferably as far as Nanjing. Perhaps only when the big river blocks them can they have a sense of security.

They broke up and Feng Jun successfully entered Xuzhou. This north-south hub finally fell into Feng Jun's hands.What excited Fengjun the most was the twelve locomotives in the city. With these, the army could move quickly.

Jiang Dengxuan led the army and entered Xuzhou. When he saw Zhou Zijian covered in blood, he was also shocked.

"Commander, these are the blood of the victim, I am not injured."

"Good job!" Jiang Dengxuan said with a smile: "You have made great achievements again, hurry up and take a rest!"

"It's no big deal to deal with a group of miscellaneous fish. I hope the commander-in-chief will give us another chance, let us continue to be the vanguard, fight all the way to Pukou, and take Jiangbei down."

"Okay, it's rare that everyone is so confident, this task is entrusted to everyone!"
