Chapter 70: The Northern Expedition of Longyun in Yunnan

Tang Shengzhi led the Northern Expeditionary Army on the South Road at great speed, and finally arrived in Zhejiang on August 1st. This guy has only now realized how come the troops have been running away in the past two months except attracting enemy troops.

, there are only supporting roles, and the co-author has not made any achievements so far. Although, Fujian

Two brigades surrendered there with nearly 4,000 men, but the number of casualties in the initial attack on our own army was almost the same. The battle has still been zero, so why do you feel that something is wrong? This guy didn't understand it after thinking for a long time.

There is no need to think about it. The most important thing is to capture Zhejiang as soon as possible.

It was time for Tang Shengzhi to make a contribution. Sun Chuanfang was now busy deploying troops to encircle the North Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army from the south, which had arrived first. He had almost depleted all the troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and sent them all to the Anqing area in the north, where Chiang Kai-shek was attacking.

I'm in a hurry.

Tang Shengzhi's first target was Lishui. Damn, the troops were so empty. Lishui fell in one battle. Old Tang was so excited that he went straight to Jinhua without stopping.

This is not to blame for Sun Chuanfang's carelessness. How could he have imagined that Fujian would be lost in an instant? Later, he contacted Zhou Yinren but was unable to contact him. Only then did he realize that it was broken, paralyzed, and Fujian Province was finished!

Not to mention Sun Chuanfang's depression, Tang Shengzhi kept going with the power of victory. He pointed at Hangzhou with disdain, and captured Hangzhou in one day on August 10th. This guy was so confident that he threatened to capture Shanghai on the 20th.

Sun Chuanfang suffered a tragedy and hurriedly mobilized troops from the north to the south. Tang Shengzhi's unexpected force caught him off guard and left him in a panic. In any case, Shanghai was also very important and Tang Shengzhi's wishful thinking could not be realized.

Sun Chuanfang reduced his troops in the north, which suddenly relieved the pressure on Chiang Kai-shek, who was originally at a disadvantage. Chiang Kai-shek, who had regained his composure, began to launch a powerful attack. The Northern Expeditionary Army formed a pincer attack on Sun Chuanfang from the south to the north. Sun Chuanfang's

The situation is very bad.

Not to mention the chaos in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, since the field division Xue Kunzhong entered Guangdong under the banner of the Yunnan Northern Expeditionary Army, it has been stationed outside Guangzhou and has not left. As time went by, the Kuomintang government began to feel that something was wrong. So, it sent people to

Come and question: "Why are your Yunnan Northern Expeditionary Army stopping here?"

The Northern Expeditionary Army in Yunnan also answered very cleverly: "Originally, we wanted to attack the Beiyang warlords in Fujian Province. Now Fujian Province has been liberated by Guizhou Province, and the Beiyang Army in Hunan Province has also been eliminated. We have lost the goal of advancement.

We have to wait here for further instructions."

When people in the Kuomintang government heard this, they realized that what they said made sense. There were indeed no Beiyang warlords around. We really couldn't make things difficult for these troops. The Kuomintang had no choice but to go back to the government and report to the higher authorities. Hu Hanmin, the left-behind Kuomintang government, also felt that this matter was reasonable and reasonable.

, the army must obey the command. Since the battle situation on the front line has changed, the army must wait for the government in the rear to make a new decision before acting in accordance with the new order. Therefore, this matter will be settled, and no one will care about it anymore.

The armies on both sides were getting along well at first. With everyone being so close, the soldiers would always have some contact, but things gradually got worse. The Northern Expeditionary Army in Yunnan was good, with good equipment and good treatment for the soldiers. Let’s look at the Kuomintang.

We are so poor here, and the treatment of soldiers is incomparable to others.

Soldier A: "Brother, it is true that all the Northern Expeditionary armies in the world are one family, but we soldiers always choose a good army, right? We are also from the Northern Expeditionary Army. Look at what you look like. You are too shabby."

Soldier B: "All the soldiers here used to be like this. It's because you came here that we feel shabby."

Soldier A: "Wrong, absolutely wrong. Not only our soldiers here are treated like this, but as far as I know, soldiers in Sichuan are also treated like this. Everyone knew that Guizhou was poor in the past, right? After the Northern Expedition, now people in Guizhou

Soldiers are treated the same way. We soldiers don’t know whether we will be alive tomorrow or not today?

We have to support a big family like mother-in-law and children, right? I say brother, hurry up, while we are still stationed here, go back and bring a few brothers over. However, don’t look for those with flat melons and cracked dates, look for those who are strong.

When soldiers who know how to fight come over, they can come to me and they will be trained in the rear for a few months and they will be qualified soldiers."

Soldier B understood and went back to recruit his accomplices.

In the beginning, only a few people deserted their posts, and not enough attention was paid to them. However, as time went by, things started to get worse. More and more people were deserting. After ten days, half of the soldiers were gone, and even junior officers were gone.

Hu Hanmin, the left-behind government of the Kuomintang in Guangzhou, and Liu Zhi, commander of the Second Division, panicked and ordered all ministries to strictly monitor their troops and not allow any more desertions to occur.

This is not the end of it. Not long ago, there were rumors everywhere in Guangzhou that Guangdong Province was plagued by bandits. Except for Guangzhou City, where a large number of troops were stationed and did not suffer from banditry, even a small number of troops in other places were in vain. They were all destroyed by bandits.

Chaos in Guangdong

It makes Hu Hanmin one head and two big. Damn, it's a bit hard to protect him. We need to send troops to suppress the bandits. The Yunnan Northern Expeditionary Army here is stationed outside the city and has to be released. We must be on guard against others. Silai

I have no choice but to watch Guangdong become chaotic step by step.

Just when Hu Hanmin had a headache, a message came from the front line that Tang Shengzhi had achieved great victory. It turned out that Tang Shengzhi took Hangzhou with great momentum and then continued to advance. At present, the army has moved into the outskirts of Shanghai. It will not be a problem to capture Shanghai by the end of this month.

The left-behind government quickly reached an agreement to leave Guangzhou and head to Shanghai as soon as possible. Everyone felt that it was becoming more and more unsafe here. In addition, the number of troops was reduced sharply and was not enough to protect them. It is inevitable for everyone to have this mentality.

Tang Shengzhi captured Shanghai on August 23. Sun Chuanfang's army was about to arrive at this time. A battle was inevitable. However, Tang Shengzhi got a big advantage this time and became famous for his outstanding military exploits.

The left-behind government in Guangzhou couldn't wait any longer. The government team moved to Shanghai in advance, leaving a few regiments of the army behind, and some departments were gradually moved there. However, as soon as they left, the Yunnan Northern Expeditionary Army took action, and the remaining troops

All were disarmed and the army moved in

Guangzhou City has fully taken over Guangzhou City. The principle of leaving and staying government personnel is voluntary, but all other movable and immovable properties have been confiscated, including Whampoa Military Academy. There are many students here. One of the students named Hu Lian went up to the peak specially

He was told to send it to the rear.

Speaking of which, this thing was done in a despicable manner. After all, we were all in the same trench of the Northern Expeditionary Army. When someone was fighting in the front, you took away their nest. It is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally. However, this matter
Chapter completed!
