C61 Military council

Liao Zhongkai laughed out loud, pointed at Li Boyang and said, "Good, so you want to be the audacious Jiang Wei? Hmm, I think it's better if you want to be Jiang Wei.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, while Jiang Jieshi also hugged his stomach.

After the laughter ended, Jiang Jieshi and Liao Zhongkai took their seats. Liao Zhongkai then explained the situation in Guangzhou: "The Party only has Guangzhou as its base, it was personally created by the Prime Minister, and its reputation for revolution has long affected not only China but other countries as well. The fall of Guangzhou would be a fatal blow to our Party, which would mean the loss of our Party's base and the loss of the political center of the National Revolutionary Movement. Furthermore, after the fall of Guangzhou, our Party's sole financial resources have been cut off, making it difficult for us to maintain a large number of troops in the future. Therefore, Guangzhou will not wait to lose it! If we do not concentrate our forces to fight with Yang Liu to the death and retake Guangzhou, we will be sorry for the former Prime Minister's lifelong struggle. "

Jiang Jieshi deeply thought so and said, "Zhong Kai, when you were not around, adviser Gongzi and I had already formulated a military plan for the rebellion."

Liao Zhongkai turned his body to the side and revealed an inquiring look, Jiang Jieshi then introduced: "Considering that Guangzhou is our Party's base camp and also the provincial capital, if our army were to attack Guangzhou, it would definitely cause damage to Guangzhou, and the gains would not make up for the losses. Thus, the strategy of this war was to lure the main forces into the vicinity of the rock beach and the rock dragon on the Dongjiang River's side, find the main forces of the enemy and defeat them. Then, the main forces from the Xijiang, Beijiang and Nanjiang rivers would simultaneously surround Guangzhou, in order to achieve a complete annihilation of the enemy. This battle had two stages. The first stage was led by the main forces, the Cantonese Army and the Fifth Master advanced westward from the Dongjiang River, and they broke through the main force that Yang Ximin had placed in the Dongjiang River. In the second stage, the army of Tan Yan Chi and Cheng Qian will break through the capital, in order to close in on them. "

Liao Zhongkai understood that the focus of the rebellion this time was on the army. If he could defeat the main force of the Yunnan Army as he had expected, then the matter would be settled. Otherwise, the battle would come to a stalemate, and the other powers who were eyeing him covetously would intervene. Liao Zhongkai said: "I agree, let's fight according to the agreed battle arrangement."

"En!" Jiang Jieshi nodded, he turned around and faced the sturdy generals who were seated, and said: "The target of this battle, Shi Long, He Brigadier, will explain the specific plans for everyone."

He Yingqin stood up, and after saluting to Jiang Jieshi, he looked at the generals with his sharp eyes: "Stone Dragon Rock Beach. What we face is the, the First Army of the Yunnan Army, teacher and commander Zhao Chengliang. This division is the main force of Yunnan Army, with a total of five thousand soldiers, excellent equipment, and bravery in battle, please do not be careless. "

Hearing He Yingqin's words, all the officials of Student Army like Li Boyang thought that He Yingqin was making a big fuss out of nothing. Before the conquest of the east, everyone said that Chen Mingming was an elite of the Cantonese Army, but after fighting a real battle, they found out that the so-called elite was just a joke.

Li Boyang also disapproved, in his opinion, how could the two spear wielding Yunnan Army soldiers have any fighting capabilities, just by blowing on the charge signal, the enemy would abandon their battle formation and escape.

How could He Yingqin not know what his underlings were thinking, but he could not explain it to them clearly, the Yunnan Army's elite army had existed for a long time, the origin of the Yunnan Army came from the 19th town of the late Qing Dynasty, which was ruled by the Qing Dynasty during the Revolution of 1911. After that, when Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor, General Cai led the Yunnan Army to wage a war against the Kingdom of Yuan, one had to know, at that time the Beiyang's army was the best in the entire nation, the Beiyang dared to claim that they were first, the dared to claim that they were first, the others could only be called second. But it was this kind of army, which was not very famous in the entire country, that kept forcing the Beiyang Army to retreat, completely cutting them off from Yuan Datou's dream of becoming an emperor!

He Yingqin frowned. The army in the east was like a hot knife cutting through butter, at the same time that they obtained rich results, the entire army was filled with a sense of arrogance. This was not a good phenomenon, everyone understood the principle that a proud soldier had to be defeated. It was precisely because of this that He Yingqin understood that if he did not meet them, the arrogant aura would have continued. Thus, he did not speak anymore and directly ordered: "The battle arrangements are as follows: Liu Zhi, you will lead one group to the front, two groups will be the left wing, Cantonese Army will be the right, the will be the reserve team, and the three groups will follow the headquarters to the back. First, we have to take down the Stone Dragon Station, break through the nine lines, and then we will attack the main force of Baiyun Mountain Zhao Chengliang. "

Liu Zhi, Shen Yingshi, Chen Mingshu and Wu Tiecheng stood up and acknowledged the order in unison.

He Yingqin nodded his head, his gaze turned to the Marshal's Mansion's iron-armored convoy and looked at Xu ChengZhang, and said: "iron-armored convoy, prepare yourself. After you open Stone Dragon Station, follow the railway line and charge into the city.

Xu Cheng Zhang's eyes flashed with determination, if iron-armored convoy were to rush into Guangzhou, he would definitely be surrounded by the enemy, he did not hesitate at all, standing up and answering: "Yes."

He Yingqin turned around and said to Jiang Jieshi: "Commander, the battle arrangements for each division have been completed.

Jiang Jieshi nodded his head in satisfaction, gesturing for He Yingqin to sit down, he turned and said to the Director Zhou: "I'm here, how is the organization of the Guangzhou Industrial and Agricultural Association?"

The Director Zhou stood up and said: "Our Party's Guangdong Regional Committee has set up a" revolutionary committee "headed by Comrade Luo Yirong. It has now organized thirteen industrial and agricultural associations to cooperate with the rebel movement and has started a strike and destruction of the railways by workers of the Han, GuangJiu and Guangguo railways. The Guangzhou Farmers' Association has organized more than 3,000 people to fight. has now withdrawn from the south of the Pearl River with the students of Huangpu, and confronted the Yunnan Army. "

"Alright!" Jiang Jieshi was overjoyed, and said happily: "With these three thousand troops, the Marshal's Mansion will be able to defend the Southern bank of the Pearl River, and we can guard against these bold attacks."

Liao Zhongkai nodded his head and praised: "Yang Liu and the others would never have thought that Guangzhou would produce so many troops out of thin air. In terms of the ability to mobilize the masses, our Party must learn from your Party."

Director Zhou smiled humbly but did not say a word.

Jiang Jieshi coughed lightly, directing everyone's attention back to him. He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the generals sternly, and said: "Everyone, this time Yang Liu rebellion, the eyes of the entire nation are on us, Guangzhou is the base of our faction, if the Revolutionary Government's base, Guangzhou, were to be taken away by the counter-revolutionaries, then our Prime Minister would have worked all his life for nothing. I request for all of you to give full play to Huang Po's spirit, and then create a victory record for cotton lake and Xing Ning, and display the might of our Revolutionary Army army. "

Hearing these words, all the generals stood up neatly, looked at Jiang Jieshi, and heroically replied: "Please rest assured commander."

Just as the army was returning, Yang Ximin, who was in control of the situation in Guangzhou, was returning back to Guangzhou. Originally, Zhou was too proud to make a move on the Grand Marshal's Mansion, who had retreated back to the Southern bank of the Pearl River, but once Yang Ximin arrived in Guangzhou, his first order was to attack the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

On June 7, the Yunnan and Guangxi armies made the night crossing of the Zhujiang River and attacked the Shimin factory, the site of the marshal's residence, but were severely attacked by naval gunboats. Although the naval ships that were cruising along the Pearl River were old battleships, the caliber of gunfire on the warships were terrifying existences to the rebel army that did not have any heavy artillery fire. With two battleships firing at the same time, the insufferable rebel army suffered heavy casualties.

On the day that Yang Ximin returned to Guangzhou, he set up a headquarters in the Grand Marshal's Residence, and unceremoniously took Mr. Sun Zhongshan's residence. A few days ago, at the same place where Hu Hanmin held his evaluation meeting, a military meeting was held in the East Expeditionary Force.

After being startled by the gunfire, Yang Ximin was not in a good mood for the past few days. He rubbed his eyebrows and said to the generals on both sides of the table: "I just got the news that Huizhou's Yang Kunru had been chased out of the city by his subordinates, and now he has gone to Hong Kong. Currently, East Expeditionary Force is only a day's journey away from Guangzhou.

Chief of Staff Zhou Zizhi stood up and walked quickly to the military map on the wall. He picked up his pointer and spoke to the crowd with a heavy tone: "Li Zishan of the Xijiang River left Wuzhou a few days ago, and advanced east along the Three Iron Tower all the way to the border between Guangzhou and Foshan. His subordinate First Division has four thousand troops, and Tan Zishan of the Beijiang River led the Xiang Army, Zhu Peide led the Yunnan Army and attacked the Huajia Army together. Yesterday, they went south along the Han Railway of the Guangdong Province, and their allied forces numbered more than fifteen thousand.

With that said, Zhou Zicheng paused for a moment, then pointed at Huizhou with his pointer, then emphasized, "Compared to the armies of the Three Rivers in the Northwest, Huizhou has the strongest military force, and the strongest combat force. According to what I know, the East Expeditionary Force sweeping across the Dongjiang River is not a single failure."

Yang Ximin rubbed his chin, staring at the map from Stone Dragon thin dog ridge to Baiyun Mountain, deep in thought. He was very clear that although the army of the east, west, south, and north came from four rivers, only Li Jizhen and the East Expeditionary Force worked hard. Since Li Jizhen's troops were weak, he did not dare to step into Guangzhou. The only ones who were truly a threat to the Yunnan Army were the East Expeditionary Force, as for Tan Yan and Zhu Peide's troops, he did not put them in his eyes.

Yang Ximin slapped the table and said: "The enemy's tactics are very obvious, they are surrounding us from all four sides and suppressing our main forces to fight it out."

Hu Shun frowned and suggested, "Since the enemy is coming from all sides, it would be better to break them apart to avoid being attacked from all sides. The enemy is the weakest on the southwest side, so how about we attack them first?"

Liao Xingchao retorted, "Rather than bullying the weak, it's better to strike the strong. As long as we break through the path, the encirclement by the enemies will be broken. Commander, I suggest we attack Tan Yanzi and Zhu Peide first. Although they have a lot of people, their fighting strength is still weak.

Zhou Zizai at the side said worriedly: "Beating up the Beijiang army can indeed reverse the situation, but East Expeditionary Force is already at the Huizhou, and Huizhou is only one day away from Guangzhou. Whether Zhao Chengliang can protect the stone dragon or not, it is still unknown, if our army can't defeat the Beijiang army, then being spat out of Guangzhou by the East Expeditionary Force is not worth it."

Liu Zhenhuan raised his head, supported the golden-rimmed glasses on his nose and said: "Chief of Staff is right, splitting up now is the best policy, East Expeditionary Force being able to make Chen Liang lose his lair, it can be seen that his fighting strength is still objective, in my opinion, the other three paths are all just a front, only East Expeditionary Force is the only one that is true."

Yang Ximin squinted his eyes and thought through everyone's words again, he then came up with a plan in his mind, he stood up and said: "The enemy is surrounding us from all sides, it is taboo for us to separate and resist, I have decided to give up on the Three Rivers of the Northwest to defend Guangzhou."

Yang Ximin stared at the crowd and said loudly: "The Guangzhou Government only relies on the East Expeditionary Force. As long as we defeat the East Expeditionary Force, the other paths will be nothing to worry about. Therefore, the battle arrangements were as follows: Zhao Chengliang would be at Stone Dragon and Rock Beach for defense. The main focus was on the area around the longan cave. Hu Shun, your unit will be stationed at the Baiyun Mountain area on the outskirts of the city. I will lead Liao Xing Chao and serve as the reserve team. We will defeat the East Expeditionary Force outside the Guangzhou in one go. "

Liu Zhenhuan also said: "In that case, the Yunnan Army will be in charge. Our army will be stationed at Guanyin Mountain to prevent the Three Rivers of the Northwest from taking the opportunity to attack Guangzhou."
