Chapter 67: The Mantis of the Northern Expedition Pounces on the Cicada and the Oriole Behind
Wuhan's attack went very smoothly. Kiss me, was that a sneak attack?
The total strength of the four brigades of the Sichuan Northern Expeditionary Army, which set out from Changsha, rode on boats disguised as merchant fleets, escorted by two gunboats flying the flag of the Great Yin Empire, and swaggered into Wuhan. The foreign flags are so easy to use these days.
In particular, the Yangtze River is the sphere of influence of the Great Yin Empire. When the Great Yin Empire's flag is lit up, the gods avoid it. Taking advantage of the darkness, the fleet sails in the city of Wuhan. A few ships stop here and a few stop there. The intelligence of Wuhan is early.
It was clearly understood that the fate of a Wuhan that was not heavily guarded could be imagined.
Just when it was getting close to daylight, the ambushes from all over the place were almost dispatched at the same time. Under the leadership of intelligence personnel, they rushed to their respective goals. It didn't take long for Wuhan, which was almost empty, to change its owner. Officials at all levels began to
They were taken away from their beds or even from the arms of women. Most of the soldiers were blocked in rooms in the barracks and disarmed. At dawn, everything in the city was normal. The people were doing whatever they were supposed to do. It didn't affect them at all. It seemed,
Nothing special happened last night.
On June 25, the Northern Expeditionary Army in the south began to take action. The troops were divided into two routes. They went all the way to Fujian to attack Sun Chuanfang's army. Tang Shengzhi had an unpleasant quarrel with the Guizhou Northern Expeditionary Army and was sent to Fujian. All the way to the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi.
, and ran towards Zhejiang.
Old Chiang Kai-shek and his North Route Army marched eastward in a hurry. As for whether they could attract Jiangxi's army, they didn't care. If they attract you, you will make money. If you can't attract them, just fight slowly.
I don’t have a dime to do with it. On this day when I walked to the Guangchang border, the army’s march was very long. In addition, there was no warning sent out, so Chiang Kai-shek deserved his misfortune. This guy just wanted to pass through the Jiangxi border quickly.
Careless, what he didn't know was that the fighting in Hunan was lively. How could Jiangxi not be vigilant? As soon as the Northern Expeditionary Army from the south entered the border of Jiangxi, people knew about it and hurriedly formed their troops. However, Jiangxi's army was really too small.
With only two divisions of troops, a head-on attack would definitely not work. The Jiangxi Army was not stupid. Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's team marching in a hurry, the leader had an idea in his mind, so he let the main force in front intercept and fight for the rest of the half.
A beautiful ambush immediately stunned and crippled the Northern Expeditionary Army in the south. The Jiangxi Army did not want to be greedy for merit and left after the attack. Before Chiang Kai-shek's former army could catch up, they left completely.
The mud horse is about to cry but has no tears. How can it be chased back and beaten? The great cause is too important. Look at the sky and sigh a few times, howl a few times, shed a few tears, stamp your feet a few times, and wave eastward towards Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
As soon as Chiang Kai-shek's army entered Jiangxi, Guizhou's Northern Expeditionary Army also began to take action. However, they were not in a hurry to enter Jiangxi Province. They were waiting for information. As soon as Jiangxi's army began to take action, Guizhou's Northern Expeditionary Army received
After receiving the intelligence, they began to take action. Well, at the front was the Northern Route Army of Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expeditionary Army in the South, followed by the Jiangxi Army, and further behind was the Northern Expeditionary Army of Guizhou Province. The whole thing formed a mantis attacking the cicada.
The situation behind.
The vanguard of the Guizhou Northern Expeditionary Army was the Qiu Qingquan Battalion. This was Zhang Lingfu's way of accumulating military merit for Qiu Qingquan. When the Jiangxi Army started at the rear of Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expeditionary Army, the Guizhou Army had already set up an ambush at the junction of Guangchang and Ningdu, with four brigades
They are all over-staffed troops fighting two dilapidated and dissatisfied divisions. I bought Gada! Haoren and these guys specialize in bullying people.
The Jiangxi Army, which had won the battle, retreated proudly and rushed into the ambush set by the Guizhou Army. When the Qiu Qingquan camp was overhead, Madman Qiu shouted: "Fire and beat me hard."
"Well, the whole position erupted with violent gunfire. The most exciting one was Crazy Qiu. Damn, I have never seen this firearm with this kind of firepower. This guy pushed the heavy machine gunner up, while
He was squealing and screaming like a lunatic.
The Jiangxi army was stunned and crippled. The army collapsed. The soldiers were running around in the encirclement, but they were surrounded by enemy troops and had no place to escape. The smart ones would lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. This method is better than everywhere.
Running around and getting shot.
The charge horn of the Guizhou Northern Expeditionary Army sounded. Madman Qiu led the whole battalion to charge forward. Why was he in such a hurry? There was no need for the battalion commander to take the lead in the charge. Madman Qiu was not stupid. Whoever rushed forward first would capture more prisoners and achieve great military success.
When encountering such a remnant soldier, wouldn't such an opportunity be enough to earn military glory? Seeing that Zhang Lingfu is already a brigade commander and will soon be promoted to division commander, why can't he be anxious when he is still a battalion commander? Before setting off, Zhang Lingfu told Qiu Qingquan
, this was personally explained by the Generalissimo, allowing him to obtain the first merit and be promoted to regiment commander on the spot. The next step in the expansion of the army will be to become a brigade commander. Zhang Lingfu told Qiu Qingquan that in the past, Zhang Lingfu was promoted in the entire army.
The fastest, you get promoted almost every battle. Now this record is going to be broken by you. Lao Qiu, I want to treat you later. You brother, I feel so lost. Shouldn’t I comfort you? Lao Qiu, of course.
I readily agreed.
Just when Qiu Qingquan was about to leave, Zhang Lingfu said again, Lao Qiu, your record will be broken by others soon. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. Qiu Qingquan asked again and again, but Zhang Lingfu just didn't say anything, which made Qiu Crazy worry about the gain and loss.
.
There were not many enemy soldiers killed in the whole battle, but more died at the beginning, and the rest was almost a process of capturing prisoners. Because the Jiangxi army was so proud of having just won the battle, it was suddenly ambushed, and in addition
The opponent's firepower was so intense that it was beyond their comprehension. The Jiangxi Army was stunned. Its morale suddenly disappeared, causing chaos in the entire army and losing all ability to resist. The whole process ended in less than an hour.
Fighting. There is no doubt that Crazy Qiu's camp captured the most prisoners. He grinned so happily that he never closed his mouth. It's only been a few days since he was promoted from company commander to regiment commander.
A great victory was won here, and the north was not idle either. The main force of the Jiangxi Army moved south, creating an excellent opportunity for the north's action. However, the army in the north did not rush to dispatch, but waited until the Jiangxi army followed Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expedition.
After the Guizhou Army entered Jiangxi, the Northern Expeditionary Army in Guizhou began to take action. Logically speaking, it is much more convenient to attack Jiangxi from the north waterway than from the south. The south road is rugged and difficult to march, while the north road is a waterway. It is so convenient to go all the way east and south by boat! How convenient!
It's convenient. If you attack one place after another, how long will the fight last? If you are prepared, wouldn't it be a stalemate? This is obviously not in line with Haoren's combat strategy. You attack one position after another.
, as a prophet, you have achieved this level after traveling through time? Damn it, don’t embarrass yourself here, readers with good skills will despise you, you are a total fool, half-crippled, wasted a great opportunity, in the end
The main thing is that after picking up so many beauties, wouldn’t they all be inserted into cow dung? It’s unreasonable!
The core of the strategy formulated by Haoren is the word "quick". He uses the opportunity of the Northern Expedition to let others make his wedding clothes, and before others can react, he takes over half of China's territory with lightning speed and waits for others.
It was too late to react, the overall situation had been decided, and Haoren was already in an invincible position. Therefore, in the entire process of the Northern Expedition, the word "quick" was the essence of strategy. For this reason, Bob and others from the staff department proposed the operation in Haoren.
The strategy has been refined and improved within the overall framework to make it more operable and feasible, forming a perfect combat plan.
Sichuan's North Route Army moved very quickly. The first stop from Wuhan was to Jiujiang. It left a brigade fleet in Jiujiang without even stopping, and headed straight for Nanchang. Since Jiujiang's military strength was already empty, why did Jiujiang still have troops?
Should we keep one brigade of troops? The problem is that Nanchang doesn’t have many troops, and we can’t use three brigades. To put it nicely, this is a war and an attack, but in fact it is just to take over territory.
There is no suspense about taking over Jiangxi. Several major cities are under control, and other local armies are not advancing. These tasks are the main tasks left to the independent regiments and working groups for the next step. Military operations of the Guizhou Northern Expeditionary Army in Jiangxi
It's basically over. According to the military deployment issued by the staff department, one brigade is deployed in Pengze County and one brigade is deployed in Shangrao. Two brigades are deployed in Zixi and one brigade is deployed in Ruijin to prepare to go south to Changting, Fujian to attack Longyan. In this way,
Prepare to enter Fujian with three brigades to support and cooperate with the Southern Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the south. Arrange one brigade in Chenzhou, Hunan, and move the rest northward. Once the territory is large, it will be obvious that the troops are sparse.
.Some troops are temporarily unable to move, and they have to wait until the garrison arrives to take over the defense before they can free up their hands to evacuate.
Regardless of whether it is Jiangxi Province, Hunan Province or Hubei Province, the next task is to consolidate these sites. This is the specialty of independent groups and working groups. The best policy is to stabilize the grassroots first. As for the takeover of major cities, the Xihua Government
Preparations are already underway and will be arranged soon.
