Chapter 15: Occupy Nanjing

Chapter 15: Occupy Nanjing

"Fight..." Hu Jun led the last reserve force of the brigade to directly attack the First Division of the ** Army, which was desperately looking for a way out, was already a critical moment. If they blocked the enemy, the third division and one brigade behind could gradually eliminate the First Division, but the situation on the battlefield was not optimistic.

"Run out, we can survive." The generals of the ** Army took survival as the slogan, which fully exerted the combat effectiveness of the ** Army soldiers, and the front line of the Second Division and the Third Brigade was in danger.

"Brig Commander, let's retreat." Hu Jun's direct battalion was considered the elite of the Third Brigade, but the enemy who was eager to survive on the other side charged too fiercely. In less than ten minutes, more than half of the casualties had been killed or killed. Compared with the current combat effectiveness of this ** army, the combat effectiveness of the normal army was simply a difference between children and adults. The third brigade front was about to be completely defeated.

"If you don't have it, you'll stop them and you must not let them rush over." Hu Jun disagreed with retreat. Every unit of the Iron Blood Army has the concept of fighting to the last soldier. In this situation, retreating is a crime.

"Kill" Hu Jun's pistol killed three enemy troops in succession, and the bullets in his hand were used up. He held the rifle of a dead soldier and rushed up with the troops. But he was soon overwhelmed by the crowd. He was the first major general brigade commander of the Iron Blood Army in the civil war.

"Run out, rush out and retreat quickly..." It was almost a matter of effort to defeat all the Iron Blood Army troops in front of him. The joy of escaping from death was revealed on the faces of the faces of all the ** troops in front of him.

"Retreat, Taizhou must get rid of the iron-blooded army behind." Zhan Weilun led his guards to break through in front and headed towards Taizhou without stopping, fearing that the iron-blooded army behind would face them.

"Damn it, they actually let them escape from some." Guo Huai looked at the other troops who supported him in time. Although most of the soldiers of the First Division of the ** Army were surrounded by the encirclement and now they all surrendered, Zhan Weilun, the commander of the First Division of the ** Army, escaped. At that time, they were busy attacking the enemy in front of them and had no time to pursue them. Moreover, the biggest loss to the Iron Blood Army was the death of a brigade commander. The soldiers of the Second Division and the Third Brigade suffered extremely heavy losses. The first division of the ** Army, like a trapped beast, exploded with too strong combat power.

The confiscation of the captives "Hello Lieutenant General Guo" has almost been completed. Jiang Dinglang, the commander of the second division, came to Guo Huai. Although one was a division commander and the other was a division brigade commander, Jiang Dinglang, as a major general, still saluted Guo Huai.

"Teacher Jiang has worked hard, but we should take the opportunity to capture Jiangyan and Taizhou now. The Jiangyan strategy task will be handed over to the Second Division, and my First Brigade will go to Taizhou." Taking advantage of the victory, the First Division of the ** Party has been defeated, and it is just right to swallow up all the areas in southern Jiangsu.

"Okay," Jiang Dinglang nodded and agreed, then said a few words and returned to the army to command. A brigade followed the remaining troops of the First Division of the ** Army to chase towards Taizhou.

After the results of the battle came out, they were reported to Deng Sen in Xuzhou as soon as possible. After Deng Sen finished reading it, they immediately made arrangements.

"Call the Fourth Division stationed in Hefei, except for the remaining troops, attacked towards Nanjing. At the same time, order the Second Brigade of the Third Division of Huai'an to go south to Nanjing, and take this opportunity to break the city of Nanjing." There are not many opportunities. In fact, Deng Sen has now expanded to a bottleneck, and the military's training level cannot keep up. Moreover, Yuan Shikai is eyeing the north, and his life-and-death battle with the ** Party will inevitably make the Beiyang fishermen profit. Therefore, occupying Nanjing is already the last game between him and the ** Army. Taking all Nanjing and Jiangsu are included and bordering Shanghai is of great significance to him. In the future, he can control or even annex Shanghai by taking advantage of it.

While the troops stationed in various places were rushing, the Third Division of the Jiangsu First Army easily broke Jiangyan with almost no troops, while the First Brigade was carrying mortars at the top of the city under Taizhou City.

After more than a day of pursuit, although they bit off some of the remnants of the First Division of the ** Army, nearly one regiment was still pouring into Taizhou City. In addition, the original regiment in the city was not inferior in number, and with the city walls as cover, the First Brigade without heavy weapons did not attack the city several times.

"Governor, the First Division retreated, only one regiment left to Taizhou, and a power generation requested to evacuate, our army in southern Jiangsu has been exhausted." Bai Wenmo, who was in charge of Nanjing, listened to the telegram with a low face as the adjutant on the side reading a telegram. This time they failed again, and the Jiangsu army was almost completely destroyed. If he continues to fight here, the elite backbone of his party will suffer great losses. Moreover, all the locals reported that the iron-blooded army went out to three routes. It seems that it is inevitable for southern Jiangsu. He hurriedly sent a telegram to Sun Yat-sen who had just arrived in Guangzhou, and ordered the Second Division, which had arrived in Jiangdu City to return. The troops in Taizhou City gathered the guard forces from all over the Chenghe River and retreated to Nanjing.

Sun Yat-sen, who had just raised funds from abroad and arrived in Guangzhou, is now frowning. Jiangsu was occupied by the Iron Blood Army. His ** army now has only southern Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fuzhou, and Guangdong has only some influence. After Yuan Shikai came to power, the ** army army has carried out certain layoffs. It is said that its current strength is insufficient. Sun Yat-sen also feels unable to do so in this war of expansion in Deng Sen, especially the destruction of the First Division.

"Call back to Bai Wenmo, all the ** army retreated to Anqing, and at the same time ordered the other provinces under control to recruit troops. However, Nanjing must be the capital of our ** army. I hope that Huang Xing and other ** pillars can stand firm in Nanjing." The ** power is getting weaker and weaker, and Sun Yat-sen is unwilling to fall like this. Facing the expansion of the Beiyang army, the ** army cannot sit still. In fact, it is not only the ** army, but also the southern provinces have expanded their troops one after another, launching an internal military competition, which is the most representative.

The one is Li Junlie, the governor of Jiangxi. He recruited more than 70,000 troops for several months, and the rest of the provinces were like this. However, Sun Yat-sen was not satisfied. Compared with the Beiyang Army of the Iron Blood Army, they were too weak, and there were peacemakers in the party, such as Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and others. These people still had fantasies about the Beiyang government, advocated a peaceful solution to domestic conflicts, and opposed the main war faction led by Sun Yat-sen. This time it was his opportunity. If Huang Xing and others were left in Nanjing, then the ** party was led by him.

"Hey, when the Iron Blood Army was first established, it was wiped out by a large army. Why did Jiangsu collapse today?" Bai Wenmo held the telegram and couldn't help but sigh. The ** Party was still full of vitality before the New Year. Unexpectedly, a huge change occurred in just such a short time. The warlords of a county have now turned into a giant, with the speed of expansion unparalleled.

On August 6, Bai Wenmo led the Jiangsu First Division, the remnants of the Second Division, and a large number of local garrison regiments to contract a 100,000 troops from Nanjing to Anqing. Only Huang Xing and other members of the ** party were stationed in Nanjing. They all understood what this meant and would not follow him to Anqing with a shameless face.

"Fisherman, what should we do about the current situation?" Huang Xing asked Song Jiaoren in front of him. The three heads of the Party were left, but now they were the two of them in Nanjing.

"It's better to go to Shanghai than to give up Nanjing. However, the people in Shanghai are also Sun's arms. Why don't we go back?" Song Jiaoren served as Minister of Agriculture a few months ago and has been in Nanjing. However, for several months, he has been helpless in the changes of the ** Party. The rise of the Iron Blood Army and the evil forces with the ** Army have gradually changed many of the original peace factions into the main war faction. Therefore, he has had a lot of friction with the Iron Blood Army. He thinks that the Iron Blood Army is ruled like other ** Party. Although he has made great achievements and resisted foreign enemies, he still feels that it does not conform to his own ideas.

"Haha, it seems that the fisherman has the intention to retreat, but I don't think so. Although the Iron Blood Party's phalanx is extreme, it is not without a desirable place. It's just that you think that all the soldiers in the Iron Blood Party are in politics, so it's not up to us. A few days ago, Governor Deng sent me a private message, inviting me to be the Chief Minister of Civil Affairs of the Iron Blood Army and handle civil affairs. After thinking about it, I decided to give it a try." Since Deng Sen talked with him that day, and the ** Party retreated, he was also excluded and gradually shook him. Deng Sen invited him at the right time, and it turned out to be successful.

"Good birds choose trees to live in. Keqiang has this idea to try. Deng Sen followed **, but he was a Western-educated person. Maybe there was something I was confused about. Since Keqiang went north, I couldn't retreat. I wanted to go to Guangdong and Guangxi to join the party to discuss the party constitution. I should see what Sun Wen planned." They were very close to Sun Yat-sen, but Huang Xing was disappointed with Sun. After all, it would not be good for anyone to be abandoned at this time.

"Since that's the case, I hope you can leave." Huang Xing knew that he could not win over Song Xiaoren into the Iron Blood Party, but his sincere wishes must be his close friend.

"Haha, brother, I wish you great success." Song Jiaoren actually had some opposition in his heart to Huang Xing's turn to the Iron Blood Party. He always felt that he lacked justice and kindness for this party that takes nationalism as the concept and excludes other ethnic groups. Perhaps this party ruled and returned to the unity of the Han nationality, but other ethnic groups must be implicated, especially the Manchus. It is estimated that it is possible to be massacred. Don't you see, the Iron Blood Army's cruelty towards the enemy and the Manchu massacre that has been promoting now. The Iron Blood Party's rejection and disgust of the Qing Dynasty's remnant and disgust of the Qing Dynasty's remnant has reached its extreme. Almost all the Manchu residents in the northern Anhui ruling region were either killed or expelled, which was difficult for him to accept.

On June 10, various troops of the Iron Blood Army arrived at the city of Nanjing, and Huang Xing, the leader of the Provisional Government, opened the city gate and let him enter. At the same time, people from all walks of life in Nanjing welcomed the Iron Blood Army's entry into the city.

"One, two, one..." The military horn was loud, and the Iron Blood Army entered the city one by one with slogans. The neat troops, young faces, and high momentum made the Nanjing citizens cheer. Although they were not without freedom under the rule of the ** Party, there was still a distinction between the top and bottom here, which was no different from the original one. The deeds of the Iron Blood Army during this period were widely circulated. Nanjing citizens all knew that this was a love team, especially those young students, who admired them even more.
