Chapter 75 Heyuan (Chapter 2)
"The ships in front stop immediately, otherwise we will sink you on the spot!" A loudspeaker on the cruiser of the Su'an Government Sea Shark. A medium-sized merchant ship of about 1,000 tons was sailing ahead of them. It was the merchant ship that Hu Jingyi and his confidants rode. They left the Quanzhou port and drove wildly towards the south. The horsepower reached the maximum, but as soon as they left the port, they were discovered by three late-coming Su'an Government warships. The other three destroyers were left to cooperate with the battle. The Sea Shark destroyed the first to chase them out. After about twenty minutes of driving, the Sea Shark finally caught up with the merchant ship.
"Bastard! Why was it discovered? Speed up! Speed up for me?" Hearing the shouts of the Su-An government warship, Hu Jingyi pulled the collar of the captain of the merchant ship and roared anxiously.[..com]
"Master Hu, that is a warship, a cruiser with a speed of nearly 30 knots. The maximum speed of our merchant ship is only 26 or 7 knots. How can we get rid of them? Once the warship is discovered at sea, we can't get rid of them at all!" The captain had been transporting goods at sea before. The natural way is now the power of the naval warships of the Su-Anhui government.
"Then! What should I do?" Hu Jingyi was really panicked now. They couldn't even run away on the sea!
"Master! We can't escape at all! Let's surrender!" At this point, Hu Jingyi's confidants were also timid. They didn't want to feed sharks in the sea.
After hearing what his confidants said, Hu Jingyi knew that there was no hope this time, so she had to order: "This! OK! Let's stop the boat!"
The merchant ship slowly slowed down, and the cruiser of the Sea Shark gradually approached. Then, at a distance of hundreds of meters, the cruiser lowered three assault ships. More than 30 armed Marine soldiers approached the merchant ship on speedboats.
"Everyone raises up their hands and put down your weapons!" When boarding the merchant ship, the Marine Corps immediately ordered all the Beiyang troops to put down their weapons and surrender, and Hu Jingyi and others obeyed and handed over their weapons. In the end, Hu Jingyi and others were taken to the warship, and the merchant ship was also taken away.
There was no difficulty in the war in Quanzhou. The Beiyang Army's unbearable combat power was not even qualified to fight against the SS. However, now the SS First Army has encountered a difficult position, with a defense line of more than 200,000 people and 100,000 relatively elite Beiyang Army forming a line of defense.
In Heyuan County, most of the more than 200,000 troops collected by Long Jiguang in the past two years were here, and fortifications were one after another. There were also many artillery items, with nearly 150 artillery pieces, all of which were used by the Japanese. However, the Japanese received a considerable reward from Long Jiguang with these broken copper and iron. Guangzhou and even the entire Guangdong were filled with Japanese goods. Until Jiangsu and Anhui blocked the coast, there was a lot less Japanese goods here.
More than 200,000 people were lying in front of the First SS Army. Even if Guo Huai was confident of defeating, he would not help but be cautious. He even wanted to apply to Dengson for the use of bombers, but Dengson rejected it. Although there are bombers with a load capacity of nearly one ton in the world, the bombers of the Jiangsu and Anhui governments had a load capacity of two tons, in order to have a surprise attack in the future war against Japan, so bombers will not be used in civil wars.
"Commander, why don't I attack now? If our armored division attacks, the Beiyang Army will definitely not be able to withstand it!" Wu Xian made the 11th Division get a bargain because of the previous battle in Quanzhou. So he wanted to make a contribution in this battle, and he believed that the Beiyang Army would definitely not be able to withstand their attack.
"Why? Are you still angry about the past? You are already a lieutenant general and are so competitive. How can you become a pillar of the country? This time we have to wait for the attack of the Marine Corps. After the Marine Corps takes Guangzhou, Long Jiguang can only launch a fatal blow after he is in chaos. The results that can be obtained at that time are not comparable to those of the present! They must have more than 200,000 people. Once they are defeated, we can't chase them even if we run around. The task of suppressing bandits in the future will be even more serious!" Wu Xian was Guo Huai's old subordinate, following him all the way, so for him, he must correct the thoughts of these old brothers.
"Yes! I understand!" Wu Xian had to admit defeat and not mention the attack.
However, in Guangzhou, at this time, undercurrents were surging. Guangzhou is the richest city in southern China. Among them, the revolutionary party’s iron-blooded army and Beiyang forces were entangled. Among them, the revolutionary party used this place as the main strategic location, and most of the revolutionary parties were here.
"Telecomman Wang, now Long Jiguang is not the only one here. His brother Long Jinguang is here. His troops are only five or six thousand. Our troops have more than 2,000 party members in Guangzhou. There are also many pro-party members in Guangzhou. As long as we raise our arms and call, there will be a large number of patriots following closely." Zhu Zhixin said to a revolutionary in a dark warehouse in Yin.
This person is Sun Yat-sen's confidant Wang Jingwei, a guy who once assassinated the Qing prince but later turned to the enemy and became a great Han jiān. But now he is a hero among the revolutionaries.
"Okay! Organize troops immediately and attack the Governor's Office directly. Now is our advantageous opportunity to control Guangzhou!" Wang Jingwei is not an ignorant. Seeing the current situation in Guangzhou, he certainly knew that this was a very advantageous opportunity. He decided to gather troops to carry out an uprising.
Guangzhou Governor General Office, Long Jiguang's brother Long Jinguang can be said to be a wine bag and knows nothing about military and civil affairs. Now he has no action in this form in Guangzhou.
"Deputy Governor, now the revolutionaries are frequently active, and a large number of leaflets are circulating everywhere. Should we investigate?" A Beiyang Army officer stood in front of Long Jinguang and suggested to him.
"What to check? The Iron Blood Army is now fighting with my brothers, and we must support the front line at any time. What should we worry about if the revolutionary party is a loser?" Long Jinguang did not take it seriously at all for the revolutionary party, and the revolutionary party must have been squeezed out during the Chinese civil war.
"I understand it's the deputy governor!" Although the officer scolded the wine bag countless times in his heart, he did not dare to disobey his intentions.
"How are the troops preparing?" Half a day later, in a slum dwelling in Guangdong, the revolutionary horses had gathered. After all, they were forces that once ruled the southern provinces. Although they were expelled, they still left many hidden people.
"Don't worry, the special commissioner is ready! As long as you give me an order, I will definitely take down the Governor's Office."
