The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 394

Only two months after the gunpowder smoke in the north had dissipated, the gunpowder smoke rose again in the south, which attracted the attention of the Chinese people.Sun Wen gave a generous speech in Shanghai, and he also felt that the opportunity had come, so the messenger sent to contact Chen Jiongming, but Chen Jiongming, who was already enthused, refused.He did not comment on Sun Wen's suggestion to join forces with Xu Chongzhi to fight against Gui Jun.

After Chen Jiongming issued a telegram to discuss Guangxi, Xu Chongzhi also announced that he would return to Guangdong from Fujian.However, after parting ways with Chen Jiongming, Xu Chongzhi was vigorously cultivated by Sun Wen. After one year, the 3,000 recruited from the Cantonese army had expanded to a junior teacher of 8,000.However, the equipment training is lagging, and the combat effectiveness remains to be tested.

In addition, the Guangdong Provincial Police Director Wei Bangping, Guanghui Guardian Li Fulin and others in Guangzhou were also ready to move. The Dian army, who was driven out of Guangzhou by the Guangxi army, was unwilling to join the melee at any time.

The Guangdong Army took the lead. Chen Jiongming commanded the Guangdong First Army to attack Heyuan. The Dian Army in front of Shengtao preserved its strength and faced off passively. After being attacked by the Guangdong Army, he lost consecutively and retreated.

Chen Jiongming sent troops to Heyuan, threatening the Pearl River Delta, and confronted the Gui army Liu Zhilu who had come up with reinforcements.

The Dian Army's Shengtao Division, who had no intention of facing the battle, temporarily withdrew from the battlefield after finishing the soy sauce, dormant, and watched the development of the battle.The Zhejiang Army under the command of Lu Gongwang, who was confronting the Second Army of the Guangdong Army, was also a soy saucer.

The Second Army of the Guangdong Army, which is dominated by the Fifth Division with a Nanyang background, is very strange to Lu Gongwang and knows almost nothing. However, in the style of a soy sauce man, he has no intention of attacking, as if saying, " On the other side, I don’t want to teach you, so don’t mess with me."

It is a pity that the soy sauce man ran into the living king.In a sudden attack, Lu Gongwang's Zhejiang army was beaten to abandon its helmets and armor, and fled back to Zhejiang in a hurry.

After a small test, after driving away from Lu Gongwang's department, the Second Army of the Guangdong Army advanced from the Chaoshan direction. After encountering the new troops of Gui Army Mo Rong who had rushed up to reinforce, the confrontation re-formed.Mo Rongxin is a veteran of the battlefield, led by the elite of the Gui army, much better than the soy sauce man Lu Gongwang.

When Zhang Chengdong was trying to defeat Mo Rongxin in one go, he received a telegram from Chen Jiongming.

"I didn't expect this old Chen to be insidious enough." Zhang Chengdong smiled, and decided to play with his patience.

The two fronts of the Cantonese army suddenly exerted their strength, drove away the soy sauce-fighting Dian army and Zhejiang army, and met the real enemy Gui army, and a more intense battle was about to start.

Chaos is when speculation prevails.Everyone is watching the battle between the Gui army and the Guangdong army, and then decides the direction of speculation.

At a critical moment, Situ Meideng rushed to Zhangzhou. This time he not only brought 5 million military expenditures secretly supported by Meihua, but also information about heavyweight politicians such as Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi.

"Everyone is looking at you, this is a rare opportunity, take it well!" Situ Meideng laughed.After several years of planning, we can finally see the day that will be effective.

"Hmm!" Chen Jiongming nodded.He had already deployed an ambush, waiting for Gui Jun to be sent to death obediently.After annihilating the opponent's main force in one fell swoop, he returned to Guangdong and went straight to Huanglong!What about the mess of other troops?It's not easy to take them, and it's impossible to distribute dividends to them.

Chen Jiongming thought with a headache.

"Thinking about how to deal with those who disrupted the situation!" Situ Meideng smiled when Chen Jiongming looked a little distressed, "Just borrow a knife to kill someone."

Chen Jiongming turned his head, his eyes asked, how to kill someone with a knife?

"Everyone who fights for power and profit loves to do it. We control the absolute advantage and we can play whatever we want. First give the Gui system a prestige and destroy part of the main force. By then, Guangzhou will be empty. There will definitely be people thinking about first entering the customs and being king. At that time, we will slow down one step further. Lu Rongting will definitely transfer troops from Guangxi. After they have cleaned up the messy spoilers, we will do the same thing again. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, it also saved a lot of trouble."

Situ Meideng laughed, "I have another strategy, which is to transport troops by sea and attack Guangzhou. I can arrange the ship from the Southern Star Steamship Company. The navy will not stand on the side of the Guangxi system. It will generally be neutral or biased towards us. As long as you spend a little money, you can get them to shoot. In short, this time you will not only win, but also gain benefits."

"Brother, you are so insidious!" Chen Jiongming smiled, already having the answer in his heart.At this moment, a word appeared in his head-sledgehammer!

Then the two of them were discussing how to give hope to the disruptors, and after letting them see the hope of victory, they sent their troops to the Gui army and marched towards the victory of the revolution.

"By the way, competing for survival, this time I came out to pay you military expenses, and also brought a plan on how to reorganize Guangdong's finance after the war. I can talk briefly for you, and it has a bottom line." Situ Meideng laughed. .

"Do you have to do this?" Chen Jiongming frowned slightly looking at Situ Meideng."Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world! It is calculated carefully that Meihua has invested more than 15 million yuan in itself, and it is normal to ask for a return, but..."

Being watched by Chen Jiongming, Situ Meideng's old face blushed slightly."This is the most effective way. In recent years, Guangdong’s finances have been lousy and require a large amount of funds without reasonable returns. Although Meihua can help you win this war, it is impossible to help you organize it. Guangdong Finance. I can’t help it. However, we still have room for it. As long as the operation is clever, you will not be impressed by you, but there will be a lot of benefits."

"Let me think about it!" Chen Jiongming sighed.

In September, just when Situ Nan left Tokyo.The battle of Guangdong and Guangxi ushered in the first wave of climax.Chen Jiongming led the First Army to go to Heyuan.

105mm heavy artillery, 75mm mountain cannon, 60-caliber mortar, shells like rain, a bit like the artillery battle of European powers.His face-to-face enemy Liu Zhilu complained again and again, and before he was shocked by the powerful firepower of the Cantonese army, the battle failed.

Under the strong vitality of the Cantonese army, the Gui army was defeated and attempted to flee. Unfortunately, it was surrounded by the strength of the three divisions, and was driven back by the Cantonese army's machine guns after several breakouts.

At last, he shrank in the city, waiting for help.

Under the guidance of the Nanyang instructor, the gunner had a serious review of the usual training subjects, and pointed out the positions of the Gui system machine guns one by one.It's a pity that the technique is a bit bad, and I didn't directly hit the target after repeating it several times.

As a result, some generals in the army criticized the artillery as a prodigal, but unfortunately, the artillery said "artillery training" and went back.When the wailing infantry rushed to the position, the soldiers of the Gui army were already sluggish. Many people in the fortifications were not killed by the bombing, but by the nearby artillery shells.

"Damn, you don't have to bully people like this with Sun Dapao! It made me want to surrender!" A surviving Gui army soldier after the war scolded the enemy for inhumane behavior.

In response, the Cantonese Army replied: "We are not Sun Dapao's army, Can Ziming is the boss!"

In Heyuan, Chen Jiongming's First Army wiped out more than 40,000 men from the Gui army in one fell swoop, and not a single enemy army!The victory in the first battle made the generals excited, clamoring to fight back to Guangzhou and enjoy the colorful world.

However, Chen Jiongming gave a strange order to block the battlefield news, and announced to the outside world that although the Cantonese army wiped out the invading enemy, he himself suffered heavy losses and was unable to do so.

Afterwards, the Guangdong army repaired on the side of Heyuan, established a line of defense, and held back, as if afraid of the Gui army counterattack.

As for Zhang Chengdong's leadership of the Second Army to launch an attack from the Chaoshan direction, it was not painful, and a small number of troops were often sent to confront the Gui army.Under the guidance of the German military advisers, the Second Army honed its recruits and worked hard on their skills. From small to large, from single arms to multiple arms, they can slowly play the barrage. Xu Jin has a bit of technical content.

With Zhang Chengdong deliberately retaining his strength, the firepower of the Cantonese army and the will of the Gui army were "strangled" with the second army and the Gui army.Gives a state of anxiety.The soldiers of the Fifth Division thoroughly implemented the idea of ​​training troops on the battlefield, and meticulously carried out “real combat exercises” in accordance with the deployment of the German staff. Although a lot of ammunition was wasted, the fewer casualties were exchanged for a large number of casualties by the Gui army’s soldiers, and at the same time improved their own. Combat effectiveness.

The most painful thing is not so much that the flying team affiliated with the Second Army can only reconnaissance in the sky every day, and can't shoot below. As a result, the bored pilots can only play confrontation in the air.

In this regard, Zhang Chengdong has no objection.If the flying team can be cool in the air, then the armored car company can only wipe the wheels every day, and the bolder ones will go for a ride on the battlefield.It wasn't until the terrain was well run before that he could participate in the armored assault battle, and had a little addiction.

With the first army’s “vigorous and self-defeating eight hundred on the first day”, the second army was unremarkable. After fighting for more than a month, there was no hope for victory, but it could save Gui army’s 20,000 Multiplayer dragging is already a certain degree of success for the unknown Zhang Shi.

The Mo Rongxin troops of the Gui army who were fighting against Zhang Chengdong gradually got used to the second army of the Guangdong army that suddenly appeared on the opposite side. They felt that the enemy had come out with more firepower and more tricks. In fact, they were all flowery and flashy.

So Gui Jun Mo Rongxin's staff secretly scolded Lu Gongwang soy sauce man for being greedy for life and fear of death. Now he dare not even watch, and ran back to Zhejiang.If they can avail themselves of manpower to reinforce Heyuan, they won't lose the Heyuan battlefield again.

Gui Jun did not know that a pair of 50-man special forces brought by Zhang Chengdong had broken into their positions several times, approached their own headquarters, and after conducting reconnaissance, they returned quietly.

Fortunately, things did not go beyond Situ Meideng’s expectations. Seeing that part of the main force of the Gui army was annihilated by Chen Jiongming, Chen Jiongming’s army was unable to conquer again, and the unfamiliar Second Army of the Cantonese Army was dragged to Chaoshan. Facing the empty army, Guangzhou finally had someone Unable to hold back, I took the risk.

In September, after the Gui army lost in Heyuan, Lu Rongting, at the request of Cen Chunxuan, transferred troops from Guangxi to Guangzhou, but before they arrived in Guangzhou, another small branch of the Cantonese army, Xu Chongzhi, was heard, and tens of thousands of recruits were noisy to the locals. Attack on Guangzhou.Li Fulin and Xu Chongzhi in the city had long been in contact with each other, and by combining the inside with the outside, they captured the scarce Guangzhou city.

Li Zongren, who was stationed in Xinhui, was unable to reinforce Guangzhou. Seeing that Guangzhou had fallen, he hurriedly returned to Xinhui, making Lu Rongting gritted his teeth with anger.Sending a report to urge Li Zongren did not respond.

Gui Jun's defenders had no choice but to withdraw from Guangzhou.A few days later, Lu Rongting took the Gui army reinforcements from Guangxi while receiving the defeated soldiers who withdrew from Guangzhou, while swiping 40,000 troops straight into Guangzhou.

After the news that Xu Chongzhi and Li Fulin regained Guangzhou spread, Sun Wen was overjoyed and hurried to Guangzhou from Shanghai by boat.After a magnificent and grand entrance ceremony, he returned to Guangzhou triumphantly, as if the emperor had returned to his castle.

Sun Ji's Guangzhou Revolutionary Government reopened. In order to cope with the aggressive Lu Rongting, Sun Wen began to ban officials and recruit troops everywhere.He appointed Chen Jiongming as the commander of the Cantonese Army and Zhang Chengdong as the deputy commander. He called on the Cantonese army to continue fighting and surround Guangzhou.

Both Chen Jiongming and Zhang Chengdong remained silent and did not respond.

The situation in Guangdong, which seems to be the overall situation, has become turbulent again.Seeing Chen Jiongming's indifferent attitude, Sun Wen pinned his hopes on the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce, another powerful force.

The Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce was obviously not optimistic about Sun Wen and decided to remain neutral.They replied to Sun Wen, "Let's go through this level first!" This made Sun Wen gritted his teeth and hated these unscrupulous traders.

He successively issued summons, inviting the Yunnan army defeated by Chen Jiongming and the army of other land hooligans to defend Guangzhou.Fang Bu and local rogue gangs readily agreed.

Facing the fierce counterattack of the superior force of the Gui army, Xu Chongzhi fought hard to resist, but unfortunately he had too many recruits and had no combat effectiveness. Facing the brave Gui army, Xu Chongzhi suddenly broke.

The Sun Kee Revolutionary Government, which had just reopened for only 4 days, went bankrupt. The tree fell to the ground, and Sun Wen had to run back to Shanghai under the cover of Xu Chongzhi.Because of the chaos of the military discipline of the troops he recruited, he carried out a slaughter and looting in Guangzhou when he was defeated. The behavior was worse than the blackmailing Gui army, which aroused strong criticism from the citizens of Guangzhou.Some people even regarded him as a plague god.What nasty things were said.

At this time, Chen Jiongming, who was silent for a long time, issued a power and condemned that Xu Chongzhi, Li Fulin and others were incapable of suppressing them. They have been losing troops to scourge Guangzhou, causing huge losses to the citizens, and their behavior is worse than Gui Jun.

In this regard, Xu Chongzhi, Li Fulin and others could only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis. They felt miserable. They wanted to pick peaches, but when the peaches were just picked, they were destroyed before they could be enjoyed.
