The journey starts from the Titanic

Newspapers in Hong Kong and Shanghai issued questions and condemned the warlord's melee. Many reports also reflected Sun Wen's disgraceful role in this disaster. Even some northern pro-Beiyang newspapers directly criticized Sun Wen for arbitrarily looking for bandit troops for headlines in order to be the bandit leader.

After receiving the military robbery in Guangzhou, Lin Yimin, who had been following the situation in Shanghai, sent a protest unhappily, demanding that the fighting be ended as soon as possible.Because Meihua Company also suffered a lot of losses, fortunately, the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce came forward in time to stop the evil deeds of the bandits.

Under the influence of Meihua Company, the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce hoped that the Cantonese army would command Guangzhou as soon as possible and end the war.

Regarding the information about the battle between Guangdong and Guizhou, the William received frontline reports every day, which added some fun to Situ Nan's long journey.

After the Gui army defeated the farce Sun Ji revolutionary government, Lu Rongting hurriedly rushed from Guangxi to Guangzhou, preparing to command troops to eliminate Chen Jiongming's tribe in eastern Guangdong in one fell swoop, and then commanded the Chaoshan to jointly attack Zhang Chengdong’s second army and became a veritable name. King of Guangdong and Guangxi.

At the end of September, Lu Rongting led the elite soldiers of the Gui family to Heyuan to attack Chen Jiongming.So far, this war finally ushered in the most exciting but jaw-dropping scene.

Chapter 144 Constitutional Ideal-Joint Provincial Autonomy

After being entrenched in Heyuan for almost a month, the morale of the Cantonese army, suffocating, swelled to the extreme, and it seemed particularly vigorous at first. All the machine guns and artillery rushed towards the Gui army's position, smashing the Gui army, which was not firmly established. A, the whole line is shaken.

The Cantonese soldiers who had long been dissatisfied with the Gui army moved forward bravely. After the cannon, they rushed to the Gui army's position frantically.

The slogan "Catch Lu Rongting alive" resounded across the sky, and Lu Rongting was stunned when faced with the tens of thousands of Cantonese troops flooding in frantically.Perhaps he stayed since the Guangdong Army was fully active.

"Conspiracy, complete conspiracy! The previous Gui army was annihilated by Chen Jiongming, so we can't get the real news. Chen Jiongming hid his strength and played with everyone. What a shame!"

Lu Rongting understood. Needless to say, the Second Army of the Guangdong Army, which was confronting Mo Rongxin, had the same idea, and was also a fierce tiger.

He hung his chest straight with anger, his throat was sweet, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. Before he could give an order to retreat to the Gui army in Chaoshan, he fell off his horse and passed out.

"Haha! Brother, this time the last main force of the Guangxi family has been annihilated, there are no more opponents in Guangxi and Guangxi! It is no problem to agree with Guangxi and Guangxi. It is not in vain to endure so many days!" Deng Keng followed Chen Jiongming while rubbing. Shoudao, he was unspeakably excited.

"Yeah!" Chen Jiongming smiled, his face dimmed immediately, and sighed: "This war has broken all of Guangdong, and with the four years of exploiting the Gui family, Guangdong has already suffered a great loss of vitality and cannot stand the toss. "

"Yeah!" Deng Keng nodded.Victory is now in sight. He thought Chen Jiongming was worried about the situation in Guangdong, but Chen Jiongming was actually considering the plan proposed by Situ Meiden.

The two souls of the Cantonese army didn’t know that in the real history, they also achieved the same results. Unfortunately, because of the subsequent political struggle, one was assassinated and the other was labelled as a "rebel and thief". desolate.After the Cantonese army they created flourished for a while, it gradually declined in the subsequent warlord melee.

Lu Rongting finally escaped, but after this battle, he could hardly become a climate again.When the decisive battle in Heyuan started, the battle in Chaoshan changed abruptly.

Airplanes, artillery, armored cars, these seemingly impractical toys have finally exerted their amazing power.Before the battle started, the special forces brought by Zhang Chengdong attacked Mo Rongxin's headquarters and captured the large and small generals inside.

Subsequently, the aircraft of the Second Army was dispatched, directly destroying the few old mountain cannons left by the Gui Army.Zhang Chengdong concentrated all the artillery fire on the Gui army's defense line. Under the bombing of superior firepower, a large gap appeared in the Gui army's position.

Before the brave and brave soldiers of the Gui army came up for reinforcements, more than 20 armored vehicles rushed over with a rumbling roar. The bullets shot from the cars knocked down the Gui army soldiers who were caught off guard.The infantrymen of the Fifth Division who followed the armored vehicles easily occupied the enemy's positions, but they did not stop, instead they continued to follow the armored vehicles to attack the Gui army's second line of defense.

"Oh! My goodness! It's so magnificent! Airplanes, artillery, armored maneuvering forces, and the infantry next to them, the future war should be like this! It's so magnificent, I didn't expect it could be in the ancient East. Is it so exciting to experience such a scene?"

This man who is eloquent is Max, the Chief of Staff of the Second Army?Bauer.He didn't expect that the "mentally handicapped" blitz that he and Zhang Chengdong had negotiated with him was so powerful that he broke through the enemy's defense almost instantly, and then the infantry who followed immediately broke through from the center, encircling and dividing the remaining enemy forces, very easily The ground won.

Max?Bauer felt as if he had fumbled for something, almost when he was about to enter a new field, he was interrupted by the voice next to him.

"Don't forget, there are special tactics. My subordinates took the enemy's headquarters in one pot. They have no leader and are naturally vulnerable." Zhang Chengdong said.

"Look, Ball, this is the latest result." He raised the report in his hand.

In the Shantou battle, the Fourth Division of the Second Army and the Fifth Division had more than 20,000 men. They wiped out 40,000 Gui army in one fell swoop. News of Shantou was sent to Chen Jiongming, which also caused a sensation.

Killed and injured 8,000, captured 20,000, and suffered less than 2,000 casualties.What kind of combat power is this?Many people began to recognize the silent and cold young man again.

Chen Jiongming was equally surprised, but did not show it.In my mind, even though his First Army had the same brilliant results, it could not be as efficient as the Second Army.Find an opportunity to find out.

Chen Jiongming made up his mind secretly.

He still didn't know that in this battle, the Fifth Division, trained by German advisers and their students, Nanyang instructors, was brave and only paid a mere 47 deaths and 200 injuries.

"The results of Shantou's battle are announced, but the casualties of our army will increase tenfold." Chen Jiongming smiled and said to Deng Keng.

He looked around, and the generals immediately raised their heads and chested out, trying to get a trace of worship in their eyes.

After the war, Chen Jiongming inspected all the soldiers of the First Army of the Guangdong Army and announced in public: "At the same time order the whole army to command Guangzhou, we are going home!"

Chen Jiongming clenched his fist and shouted loudly. At this moment, he had been waiting for three years.

Seeing Commander Chen's flushed face with excitement, the soldiers were also excited.Especially the sentence I went home, expressing the aspirations of the Cantonese soldiers who have been wandering for many years.

At this moment, Chen Jiongming's image is extremely tall.

All the soldiers looked at this hero who shared the joys and sorrows with them and led them home with worshiping eyes!He is the real soul of the Cantonese Army. Let the others step aside!

Soldiers are that simple. They only serve generals who can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and lead them to victory.

Because of his design, Sun Wen's introduction of wolves into the house in Guangzhou was widely spread among the Cantonese army, which caused dissatisfaction among soldiers, damaged his image, and reduced his prestige to a freezing point.

Some generals in the army who still have respect for Sun Wen dare not disobey the military will, let alone offend the vigorous Chen Jiongming.

"Gizan, all our plans have been realized this time. Haha. In a few days, we will be able to enter Guangzhou. Speaking of it, there are more people who do not have you, and things will not be so easy. Yes." Chen Jiongming looked at Situ Meideng gratefully.

"What you and me, are we one?" Situ Meideng smiled and said again.

"Now the people in Guangzhou are panic, especially after the main force of the Gui family is annihilated, the troops stranded in Guangzhou are faintly out of control, so we should move fast. I suggest that a part of the Second Army take a passenger ship to Guangzhou by sea. "Situ Meideng suggested.

"Okay! This matter can't be delayed!" Chen Jiongming nodded immediately.Under the arrangement of these two bigwigs, the Second Army that had just had no time to clean the battlefield in Shantou was about to set off again.

Zhang Chengdong dispatched a battalion of elite troops from the Fourth Division and the Fifth Division to form a vanguard regiment overnight and boarded the Southern Star Liner from Shantou to Guangzhou by sea.In just a few days, the Cantonese army simultaneously used the two battlefields of Heyuan and Shantou to wipe out Lu Rongting's 100,000 Gui army in one fell swoop, and public opinion shook again.Especially in the Shantou battlefield, Mo Rongxin's more than 40,000 Gui troops were wiped out in one day, comparable to Wu Peifu's long-distance attack on Qu Tongfeng not long ago.All princes began to turn their eyes from Beijing to Guangdong, fearing the combat effectiveness of the Cantonese army.

This is a conspiracy, Chen Jiongming and his Cantonese army calculated all the participants in this war.What kind of mentality should you look at this freshly-baked king of Nanyue?

The mind is complicated, and the opportunists such as the Dian Army’s Shengdong and Li Fulin, who previously stole chickens and failed to eclipse, are even more obscure.

In the battle between Guangdong and Guangxi, many careful people saw the shadow of Situ Meitang and overseas Chinese, but more inside information was unknown to outsiders.

After the battle of Shantou was over, the news of the defeat of the Gui army spread back to Guangzhou, and the city that had just experienced a riot immediately became precarious again.While the citizens are waiting eagerly, they are also on guard.

There have been rumors on the market that the Gui army stranded in Guangzhou was preparing to retreat to Guangxi after a looting.

When power was in a vacuum again, in addition to many Gui Jun thoughts, the shameless people in the city were also ready to move.

At this sensitive moment, Chen Jiongming sent a telegram from Heyuan, declaring that if any army dared to do anything wrong in Guangzhou, they would pay their blood debts!

His declaration appeared loudly and loudly in the newspaper the next day. Newsboys on the streets of Guangzhou kept chanting nicknames.

This made it difficult for the Gui army troops stranded in Guangzhou City to cast a rat-avoidance weapon for a while.According to estimates, it would take Chen Jiongming's troops to Guangzhou at the fastest four or five days.

To grab or not to grab?Can you escape?The declaration made by Chen Jiongming and the generals of the Cantonese army is like the sword of Damolis hanging on the heads of the Guangxi troops staying in Guangzhou.

It is a pity that Lu Rongting was missing, and the Gui family could not find anyone to talk to.In the afternoon, Mo Rongxin, who was captured in Shantou, sent a telegram to persuade the Guangxi troops stationed in Guangzhou not to be reckless.

And Cen Chunxuan, the political leader of the Guangxi clique who had been silent for a long time, also made a statement, demanding that all armies strictly observe discipline.

In the evening, the city of Guangzhou was quiet.Due to the eventful autumn, the streets were deserted, and the citizens went home to wash and go to sleep with nothing to do.

At this time, Huangpu Port ushered in a heavy ship. After docking, countless well-equipped troops spewed out of the ship. They took over the dock when they disembarked.
