Xia Chao's mistake was that he believed that since he had already broken through the Zhejiang Army's Hangzhou base camp, as long as he promoted it, all Zhejiang people and Zhejiang Army would immediately turn against each other. At that time, he would be the biggest hero to restore Zhejiang, and he would definitely be at least the position of Zhejiang Governor in the future. However, Lu Yongxiang then organized an army in Yuhang County in the rear. After Xu Shuzheng shot several officers who were eager to try, the Zhejiang Army stabilized.

At this time, Xia Chao used the police force as his backer to promote national reunification to the citizens of Hangzhou, and hoped that the citizens of Hangzhou and even the people of Zhejiang would support national reunification. The people of Zhejiang actively supported Xia Chao's army against Lu Yongxiang. The Zhejiang army was abandoned by the people of Zhejiang. Lu Yongxiang organized the army to attack Hangzhou three times and was repelled. However, the attack organized by Xia Chao also suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat to Hangzhou City to wait for the National Defense Forces to rescue. He also underestimated Lu Yongxiang's organizational ability.

Xia Chao issued a telegram in Hangzhou to announce his appointment as the governor of Zhejiang, and ordered the Zhejiang Army to lay down its weapons and not resist the National Defense Forces. The people of Zhejiang and even the Zhejiang government fully support national unity and obey the administrative orders of the central government unconditionally. All financial and taxes in Zhejiang Province belong to the central government.

Due to Xia Chao's propaganda, people inside the Zhejiang army were panicked, and some Zhejiang counties also broke out in ** uprisings. Under the ignition of the Central Intelligence Department, various Zhejiang counties announced their support for Zhejiang native Xia Chao as the governor of Zhejiang and expel Shandong native Lu Yongxiang.

On November 28, 2019, Wu Guangxin's unit of the 25th Division of the National Defense Army arrived in Changxing County, Zhejiang Province. In cooperation with Zhu Xi's unit of the 24th Division and the 1st Division of the Zhejiang Army, they launched an attack on the troops of Zhang Zaiyang and Yang Huazhao of Zhejiang Army. The Zhejiang Army was fighting and retreating. Suddenly, they learned that a military coup had occurred in Hangzhou. The police chief Xia Chao captured Hangzhou. Lu Yongxiang was forced to flee to Yuhang in panic. Zhang Zaiyang and Yang Huazhao were both dumbfounded. They were at a loss. We were at a loss in the war ahead, but our hometown behind us was lost.

At this moment, Xia Weimin, who had been involved in the National Defense Force, ran to the rear command center of Wuxing County to lobby Zhang Zaiyang and Yang Huazhao, and said, "Lu Yongxiang was not popular. Do you want to be buried with him?" He pointed to the south of Taihu Lake on the map and said, "The National Defense Force Qilin Legion went south, and the Grand Marshal Shangwu personally fought for Zhejiang. Sweeping our Zhejiang Army? Everyone, even the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang also ran to Nanjing to welcome the Grand Marshal Shangwu. Everyone, people went to high places and water flowed to low places. Even if they didn't think about themselves, they should also consider their family members? Lu Yongxiang committed treason, which was a death sentence. If you resist, you will be dead." After a little consideration, Zhang and Yang immediately announced the uprising to join the National Defense Force, and then headed towards Yuhang with Ge Qisheng, the Sixth Mixed Brigade of Beiyang.

At this moment, Lu Yongxiang, who fled to Yuhang, never dreamed that he would be so embarrassed one day. If the National Defense Forces did not exert force, he would not expect that the other army formed by the warlords would work so hard when they beat him up. Originally, Lu Yongxiang wanted to send Yang Yuxun to the 25th Division and the 26th Division to send heavy gifts to the 25th Division, hoping to show mercy to the Anhui Division for the sake of the Anhui Division.

Unexpectedly, Wu Guangxin saw Zhu Xi's 24th Division captured Yixing with unstoppable momentum. Xia Chao led the police corps to capture Hangzhou City, and Chen Guangyuan launched an attack on the Zhejiang Army in Fujian and Jiangxi. The National Defense Force Qilin Army also slowly moved south, and the Zhejiang Army was surrounded by enemies and was about to fail. How could Wu Guangxin miss such an opportunity to get a bargain? So the 25th Division launched an attack on the Zhejiang Army, which belonged to the Anhui clan, in the spirit of beating the water dog, and even kept his old friend Yang Yuxun out of the door, threatening to distinguish between public and private, and it was a private friendship with Yang Yuxun, but it was a national unification battle with the Zhejiang Army and would never be favored.

At this time, the Zhejiang South Line, the Zhejiang Fifth Mixed Brigade stationed in Xianxialing and sniped Chen Guangyuan's troops in the 31st Division of the National Defense Forces. Xianxialing was in a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Chen Guangyuan's troops had to attack Xianxialing and were blocked by Zhejiang.

The 31st Division sacrificed nearly 2,000 people but was unable to break through Xianxia Ridge. Guo Shusheng, the commander of the 5th Mixed Brigade, threatened that even three divisions could not break through Xianxia Ridge. However, only two days later, Zhang Guowei, the battalion commander of the Fifth Mixed Brigade of the Zhejiang Army, surrendered to Chen Guangyuan. The 31st Division easily obtained the defense map of Xianxia Ridge, and broke through the defense line of the southwest Zhejiang overnight, killed Guo Shusheng, the commander of the Fifth Mixed Brigade, occupied Quzhou, and took over the

This is a breakthrough that swept across the southern part of Zhejiang and attacked from south to north. Sun Liechen's 29th Division and Zhao Zengfu's Qilin Legion set out from Nanjing, captured Zhenjiang, Danyang, Wujin, Jiangyin, Wuxi, Changshu, and Kunshan, and joined the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, Ge Qisheng's unit, continued to go south to capture Wujiang County, Jiashan County, and Jiaxing County, and joined with the 24th Division and the 25th Division, advancing towards Hangzhou with a momentum of unstoppable momentum.

Three days later, some Zhejiang troops outside Hangzhou surrendered to Hangzhou Xiachao police force. Lu Yongxiang's troops urgently gathered more than 20,000 people to retreat to Yuhang County again. Lu Yongxiang sent Xu Shuzheng to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai to ask for help from the Japanese. The morale of the soldiers on the front line of the Zhejiang Army was depressed. After statistics, the Zhejiang Army had a 80,000 army before the war, and now there were less than 30,000 people. Almost all heavy weapons such as cannons were lost. The Zhejiang Army was about to collapse. All the hair of Lu Yongxiang turned white overnight. He patrolled the positions for three consecutive days to stabilize the morale of the army and distributed two oceans of "shocking expenses" to all left-behind soldiers, so that the soldiers would stay and not abandon their guns and escape.

Just as the National Defense Force was preparing to annihilate the Zhejiang Army in one fell swoop, a heavy rain stopped the National Defense Force, and the heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was actually a week. During this period, Xu Shuzheng ran to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai for help. Unexpectedly, the Japanese had no choice but to ask Lu Yongxiang for two million military pay. Xu Shuzheng was so angry that he pointed to the Japanese Consul's nose and asked: "What did you say before the war? What did you say?"

Japanese Consul in Shanghai Yi Xiaolin said furiously: "Jun Xu, don't your army feel ashamed? There are several armies that were defeated and destroyed, and almost all of them surrendered in one battle. It is really a shame to be a soldier."

Xu Shuzheng was angry and could not refute that the whole army was killed in the civil war. As long as the army suffered more than 20% of the casualties, it was possible that the army would turn against each other. The soldiers were not fools, but they just changed to another master to have dinner. Xu Shuzheng returned to Yuhang from Shanghai angrily, and was almost caught by Xia Chao's people on the way, and then he returned to Yuhang in a thrilling manner.

When Lu Yongxiang learned of the abandonment of the Japanese, he was depressed. Xu Shuzheng suggested that it would be better to ask the Southern Revolutionary Government, the Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army again. Lu Yongxiang appointed Xu Shuzheng to go south to seek help. Now, as long as one person reaches out, there is his life-saving straw. He sat dejectedly in the Yuhang County yamen, feeling that he was abandoned by everyone, and also feeling the pain of the Japanese betrayal. Lu Yongxiang was drinking a slutty wine, and his son Lu Xiaojia accompanied him, watching his father turn white overnight.

"Xiaojia, are you wrong for your father?" Lu Yongxiang has not yet figured out why Wang Maoru made such a big fuss. Yang Yuxun walked in. Lu Yongxiang looked at him and said, "Qishan, what do they say."

Yang Yuxun smiled bitterly, Lu Yongxiang sighed deeply, and his confidant secretary-general Yang Yuxun said, "I heard the general ask the eldest son just now?"

"Yes." Lu Yongxiang sighed, "In just fifteen days... If God hadn't helped me for a while, I would have become a prisoner at this moment, right?"

Yang Yuxun said: "I once advised Zhenshuai when I introduced the support of the Japanese. The Japanese are not trustworthy and are the most difficult to deal with. They can turn Zhenshuai into their dependence like blood-sucking leeches. The Japanese did not follow their kindness. Why did they encourage Zhenshuai to fight against the National Defense Force? First, it was to cause trouble for the National Defense Force, and second, it was to see our Zhejiang army approaching the British and interfere with the British. Just after Zhenshuai reached an agreement with the Japanese, the British had abandoned us. Otherwise, the Defense Force would fight in Shanghai, why didn't the British say anything? They were sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. For the British, it was just a change to a Zhong** valuation. Alas! It was too late, it was too late." (Lu Yongxiang was originally named Lu Zhenhe, so he was called Zhenshuai by his subordinates)

Lu Yongxiang shook his head and said in a cold voice: "Who would have thought that things would turn so quickly, and the Japanese betray us."

Yang Yuxun said: "After the expansion of the army, our army's combat effectiveness has been reduced by half. The rash expansion of the army is far better than the mistake of strategic command."

Lu Yongxiang said: "At this time, we should consider the aftermath. I bother Lao Qishan to visit Nanjing again to see how Wang Maoru treats his old friends."

"Zhengshuai means..."

Lu Yongxiang nodded and said, "It's all my fault that I was not greedy at the time and could not blame others. If I accept reorganization after the expansion of the army, at least I can't escape the position of commander of the legion. Xiaojia, remember, you can't be too greedy."

Lu Xiaojia hurriedly nodded and said yes.

Yang Yuxun asked: "What are the requirements for Zhenshuai to pass on me? What is the bottom line of our army's negotiations?"

It was raining all night long. Lu Yongxiang couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of the scene at this moment. If he had known that he would have regretted it today.

However, Lu Xiaojia screamed and said, "My family's money, my family's land, my family's factory must not be lost. My father wants to be the governor of Zhejiang!" He turned to Lu Yongxiang and said, "Dad, our family cannot be without money. By the way, you can be the chief of the police and the chief of the Shanghai police, so that our family can still walk sideways in Shanghai in the future."

Yang Yuxun said: "It's not an exaggeration to do this."

Lu Yongxiang said: "Qishan, if the negotiations are not ideal, the Lu family can do not have money or power. Just let my father and son return to their hometown in Jiyang, Shandong to be a farmer."
