Chapter 202 Second Revolution (Part 2)

On the road between Xuzhou and Bengbu, thousands of soldiers in uniforms in defensive army were heading towards Bengbu. One of the soldiers looked up at the sun hanging in the sky. After wiping away the sweat from the scorching sun on his forehead, he looked at the companion soldiers beside him and thought with a wry smile.

"I don't know if we still have the chance to go back to Nanjing alive..."

These thousands of soldiers heading towards Bengbu are the defeated troops of the Leng team of the 9th Division of the Yuan Army.

At this time, the soldiers of the 9th Division of the Yuan army were all in a mess, and most of them had only one gun left in their hands. Some people even lost their clothes, let alone guns...

"well…"

Just when Li Liejun's Gan Army was still fighting fiercely with the Beiyang Army in Hukou, Huang Xing also sent Liu Jianfan, the commander of the Cavalry Regiment of the 8th Division of the Yuan Army, to lead his cavalry regiment northward and jointly fought with the commander of the 9th Division, Leng's troops.

However, just the day before the Liu Jianfan cavalry regiment headed north, Leng's troops, which were attacking Hanzhuang from Liguoyi, were repelled by Zhang Xun's troops stationed in Yanzhou the next day. A few days later, Jin Yunpeng's troops of the Fifth Division of the Northeastern Division in Shandong pursued Leng's troops. Fortunately, Liu Jianfan's troops arrived in time soon.

On the 28th, the Leng Yi team and Liu Jianfan team who came to support retreated to Xuzhou. On the 29th, the Hong Chengdian team of the 7th Division crossed the river and arrived at Linhuai Pass and stayed there to garrison. Liu Jianfan team of the Eighth Division Cavalry Regiment stationed in Xuzhou was nearby to control the Hong Chengdian team.

On the same day, Yuan Shikai appointed Zhang Xun as the Jiangbei Xuanfu Envoy, and Zhang Xun led his army south from Yanzhou. Two days later, Yuan Shikai appointed Feng Guozhang, the governor of Zhili, and Feng Huai Xuanfu Envoy, and led his troops south from Tianjin. Feng Guozhang commanded the Second Beiyang Army, which was composed of a brigade of the Fourth Division of the Beiyang Army, the entire division of the Fifth Division, as well as the Fengtian Mixed Brigade and the Zhili Mixed Brigade.

Yuan Shikai would ask Feng Guozhang to command the Second Beiyang Army. In addition to Feng Guozhang's extraordinary ability, he was also the father-in-law of Chen Zhiji, the commander of the 8th Division of the Yuan Army. If he came forward, he would have a certain softening effect on the Nanjing anti-Yuan Army.

Then, Zhang Xun, who went south from Yanzhou, launched an attack on the Leng Yi troops retreating to Xuzhou. After holding in Xuzhou for 5 days, the Ninth Division retreated. The division commander Leng Yi fled, and the remaining thousands of defeated soldiers retreated along the avenue to Nanjing. The Hong Chengdian troops of the 7th Division and the 8th Division Cavalry Regiment stationed in Linhuai Pass also stood there for several days, retreated to Liuhe and Guazhou areas, and then detoured back to Nanjing.

At this time, Huang Xing, who was staying in Nanjing, saw that Jiangbei was defeated, and Yan Guang from Sichuan was unwilling to send military assistance, and it was too late to send military assistance. So on August 8, Zhang Zi, the commander of the First Division of the Assistant Division, and Hong Chengdian, the commander of the 7th Division, and others took Japanese warships and left many soldiers from Nanjing to Shanghai...

After Huang Xing and others retreated to Shanghai, Cai Yin temporarily held the position of governor.

On August 9, Cai Yin, who was temporarily governor, invited Chen Zhiji, the commander of the 8th Division, Zhou Yingshi, the commander of the 1st Division, Ma Jinchun, the commander of the fortress, Mao Naiqi, the commander of the military police, Wu Zhongxin, the director of the police (this name...), the county governor Lu Weiji and others to discuss and decided to cancel the **.

At the same time, he also decided to ask Cheng Dequan to come back to act as the governor, but Cheng Dequan was not willing to return to Nanjing.

At this time, Zhang Xun's troops and Feng Guozhang's troops had already arrived in Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, which was not very far from Nanjing.

On August 13, He Haiming, who was traveling to Nanjing with Han Hui from Zhenjiang, led more than a hundred soldiers to capture the Governor's Office and declared that he would elect Chen Zhiji as the Governor's Office to restore the **. However, Chen Zhiji had been softened by Yuan Shikai and his father-in-law Feng Guozhang at that time, and the Eighth Division maintained order in Nanjing at that time, so He Haiming had just announced the second **, but not long after Chen Zhiji was arrested by Chen Zhiji and announced the cancellation of the second **.

However, two days later, on August 15, the First Division, which was also stationed in Nanjing, clashed with the Eighth Division. In the chaos, the First Division robbed He Haiming from the headquarters of the Eighth Division. After being robbed, He Haiming announced the ** again and appointed Tang Chen as the governor and Liu Jie as the police chief.

At this time, Chen Zhiji had already had some contact with his father-in-law, so after hearing the news, he took a few of his entourage to Shanghai on a passenger ship.

After Chen Zhiji left Nanjing, He Haiming disarmed the 30th Regiment of the 8th Division, which he was unwilling to be, and at this time, Bai Wenmo also retreated from Anhui to Nanjing.

Two days later, Zhang Xun, Feng Guozhang and Xu Baozhen's troops began to siege Nanjing. During these two days, He Haiming first gave the position of the governor to Zhang Yaoqing, and then Zhang Yaoqing gave the position of the governor to Bai Wenmo. However, after a week, because Zhang Xun and Feng Guozhang were too urgent to attack the city, Bai Wenmo led the guards out of the southern gate and took a passenger ship to Shanghai under the escort of the Japanese, and then went from Shanghai to Japan...

After Bai Wenmo left Nanjing, Han Hui was appointed as the governor. However, five days later, the Chaoyang Gate was blown up by Zhang Xun's army with landmines. After Zhang Xun attacked Nanjing, He Haiming and Han Hui retreated to Wuhu under the protection of more than 3,000 remaining troops of the Eighth Division. More than 5,000 people were stopped by Feng Guozhang's army when they retreated to Shangxinhe and ordered to be dismissed.

On September 4, after Zhang Xun's troops completely captured Nanjing, Yuan Shikai appointed Zhang Xun as the governor of Jiangsu, and since then the Nanjing Battle has completely ended.

——————————

In early August, in the wartime headquarters secretly established in Chengdu, a group of young officers who had just graduated from the Army Academy were busy sorting out some information, and a group of officers analyzed the current situation for Yan Guang and others in front of a giant map...

Standing in front of the map, Yan Guang listened to the young officers' analysis with a calm expression, while Wang Yaowu and others stood beside him and accompanied him.

In the wartime headquarters, no one would ask Yan Guang why he did not come forward to provide substantial assistance while repelling Yuan's army, because as early as the beginning of the second **, Yan Guang had already told Wang Yaowu and others his decision, that is, this time ** would have to do it alone.

Although he is very confident in the current strength of the Kuomintang Party, when he learned that Yan Guang was going to face Beiyang alone, Wang Yaowu and others still felt that he should join the attack on Yuan Jun to act together. After all, Beiyang is the largest and strongest military group in China. However, after seeing the performance of the attack on Yuan Jun in the second **, Wang Yaowu and others suddenly felt that instead of cooperating with such teammates, it would be better to work alone...

"I'm not afraid of opponents like gods, but I'm afraid of teammates like pigs..."

This sentence must have not appeared in the Republic of China, but the truth is the same, just like Yidaili in World War II, the Yidaili who specializes in Germany's hindrance...

"But if I knew that those guys who fought against Yuan Jun had not even had enough time to hold on for two months, I would not support them in five million silver dollars and the 10,000 1888 committee rifles. I originally thought that with support, they would be more outstanding than in history..."

Listening to the analysis of the battle situation by the staff trained in the military academy, Yan Guang couldn't help but think in his heart.

After about half an hour, after several staff members analyzed the current situation of the Yuan army and the Beiyang army, the two officers also came up with a bunch of information.

"Commander, the new five infantry divisions have been recruited, and they are currently conducting recruit training in Guiyang and Chengdu. At the same time, after each of the 1st to 6th Divisions, the frames of the three new artillery brigades have been built, and the weapons have been replaced. Because the arsenal is working day and night, the ten existing infantry divisions have been replaced with Mauser G98 rifles, the Maxim machine guns and Madson machine guns have been fully equipped. The artillery regiments of the main forces such as the First to Fifth Divisions have also been partially equipped with 105 and 120 caliber cannons and howitzers..."

The two officers reported on the expansion and equipment replacement of the Kuomintang army. Today, Beiyang has 200,000 troops. Of course, a large part of them are newly formed, and many are even worse than Yan Guang's 6th to 10th Infantry Divisions. However, if the patrol battalions that still exist within the Beiyang range and the Zhang Zuolin's troops in the Northeast are included, Beiyang now has more than 300,000 troops.

Although Yan Guang was confident in the combat power of the ten infantry divisions he had, he was still a little guilty after all when he used the strength of ten infantry divisions to deal with Yuan Shikai's twelve infantry divisions and nineteen mixed brigades.

So in June, when the conflict between the Kuomintang and Beiyang was obviously unstoppable, Yan Guang announced the expansion of five divisions. The reason was easy to find, which was that the domestic situation was urgent, and Sichuan and Guizhou provinces expanded their troops and protected themselves.

At that time, the Kuomintang was making the final preparations for the second **, and Yuan Shikai's Beiyang was also very troubled by the Kuomintang's assassination one after another. Although Yan Guang's expansion of the five infantry divisions attracted their attention, they did not pay much attention. Because by the time these five infantry divisions formed combat power, perhaps the conflict between Beiyang and the Kuomintang might have ended.

However, Yan Guang never thought of resolving the Kuomintang's forces in less than two months like Beiyang. In Yan Guang's view, it would be enough to unify the whole country before World War I.

Now the five newly built infantry divisions are just about to be used in the spring next year... In fact, by winter this year, these five infantry divisions may be available.

Although the expansion of the five infantry divisions is blatant, the formation of three artillery brigades is sneaky. After all, the troops like the artillery brigade are a bit too exciting for today's China. You should know that an artillery brigade contains 144 artillery pieces, and all of them are above 75, and the maximum is even 210 caliber. If Yan Guang's troops were blocked by Tang Xiangming's fleet when they headed north, they would not need three artillery brigades to be all over, and only one of them could be used to knock Tang Xiangming's fleet into a plug...

——————————

Before opening the code, I thought that the second ** paragraph would cost me tens of thousands of words. However, after checking the second ** information, I realized that the fate of the Yuan army at that time was almost to retreat, retreat, and then retreat. In the end, all the leaders retreated to Japan.

It can be said that in terms of intensity alone, the entire second ** is even worse than the fierce battle of Yangxia.

The historical significance of the second ** is more like helping Yuan Shikai master the whole country

So in the end, I used less than 6,000 words to describe the second **. Anyway, after the defeat of the Jiangsu and Jiangxi battles, even if they end, there is no need to waste words in the battles in other regions.
