Chapter 42 Southeast (2)
As he spoke, Zhang Hanyun's eyes seemed to be infinity. Liu Jingxiao suddenly slapped Zhang Hanyun's plump buttocks, and then said: "Hanyun! You analyzed it very reasonably. I have been planning for the northern offensive of the Soviet army for many years, and everything is ready to be perfect! But I tell the truth, I defeated Jiang Nandi as if I was taking a pupil and watching the pattern!"
"Why is this?" Looking at Zhang Hanyun's expectant gaze, Liu Jingxiao asked happily in her heart: "Yun! Do you know how many groups I will lead south this time?"
Zhang Hanyun asked with a question: "Are there thirty groups?"
Liu Jingxiao smiled but didn't answer, and Zhang Hanyun asked again: "Is there a forty regiment that you don't leave a soldier in Shandong? This is wrong..."
Liu Jingxiao's hands became more and more dishonest. Zhang Hanyun twisted her smooth body and said coquettishly: "Tell me quickly! Can you lead fifty groups south?"
Liu Jingxiao laughed and said, "It's almost done! But Hanyun, you're still wrong! This time I led my troops south, and there are sixty regiments of the infantry and cavalry regiment!"
"There are sixty infantry and cavalry regiments, plus the twenty regiments in Shandong, and eighty infantry regiments! I personally led the 160,000 army of sixty infantry regiments to ambush the 30 regiments and 100,000 soldiers from Jiangnandi to the north, and then they were preparing to fight. It was naturally like taking objects and watching the pattern! It's a pity that Miss Shen and Chen Yunshuai guessed wrong..."
Zhang Hanyun then realized that she still didn't understand: "They guessed wrongly..."
Liu Jingxiao took another light shot, took a little advantage, and said, "That's right! I can't do it with eighty regiments of soldiers in Shandong! At most, it can only be with forty regiments of soldiers, but it can still be done with eighty regiments of troops temporarily!"
Only then did Zhang Hanyun understand why the coalition army was defeated and could not know themselves and their enemies. The war was defeated before it started.
Of course, Liu Jingxiao can only say that he maintained the strength of eighty regiments. At this time, the newly formed troops in Shandong were of great quality in batches. The group of regular troops had 3,000 people, and the regiment battalions had artillery companies. The team battalion adapted from the reserve troops had only artillery platoons at the first level, and the troops had only 2,000 people. The equipment quality of the troops formed in batches was worse. The last batch of units was only the 3rd Battalion and the Ninth Corps, with a total strength of only 1,000 people, and the entire regiment had only one regiment artillery company. Of course, the quality of this team was far greater than that of some key teams of the Shaanxi Army.
As he was speaking, someone outside shouted outside the room: "Report to the commander! The train is coming to Shanghai!"
Zhang Hanyun gave Liu Jingxiao a blank look and asked, "You are so bold! You dare to pass Shanghai!"
Liu Jingxiao only stayed in Nanjing for more than a day. After the order of Nanjing City stabilized slightly, Liu Jingxiao had decided to go to Hangzhou in person. At that time, Li Heyi led his troops to leave Nanjing for one day, but in order to rush, Liu Jingxiao decided to transfer from Ninglu Road to Luhang Railway to Hangzhou. Most of the road were under the control of the Shen family and Zhejiang. Even in various sections of the Suzhou Province, there were still no Liu army stationed in some places, which was very risky, so Zhang Hanyun said this.
Liu Jingxiao kissed Zhang Hanyun's pretty face and said, "Don't you like adventure? Isn't this the best subject?"
As he said that, Liu Jingxiao was very proud: "In fact, there is no need for one soldier or one soldier to take Hangzhou City. I, Liu Jingxiao, are enough!"
Zhang Hanyun was fascinated by the hearing, her eyes lit up. Liu Jingxiao said again: "As for the Shen family, what are you afraid of! I can't find an excuse to start a war with the Shen family! I will turn around and solve them after we clean up Zhejiang!"
Zhang Hanyun took the initiative to speak at this time and said, "Let's take a shower first and talk slowly..."
The luxurious special train has already prepared a large bathroom for Liu Jingxiao, and I don’t know how many people can jealous of the mandarin duck on this train.
Let’s talk about Zhejiang, when they heard that the coalition forces were defeated and fell in Nanjing, the city of Hangzhou was shocked three times a day, and they were afraid that Liu Jingxiao led his troops south to take revenge.
Zhejiang is famous for its small force in the southeast. The Zhejiang Army has only nine infantry regiments in total, distributed throughout the province. The upper class of the Zhejiang Army is mainly from Hubei, which is considered a remnant of the old Hubei system, while the lower class officers and soldiers are mostly from Zhili, and are also considered to be the side branches of the Zhili system. There is a joke in the army: "Wuhan people go back to the mansion, Baoding people go to the restaurant, and famous people eat dry food!"
This is mainly because the Shen family is unwilling to achieve too strong power in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, threatening the Shen family's leading position in the Yangtze River field. This time, the Zhejiang side originally meant to leave the First Division of the Zhejiang Army. The First Division of the Zhejiang Army also had the strength of four infantry regiments, accounting for almost half of the Zhejiang Army.
However, Miss Shen thought that the troops were too small, so with a big stroke, the Zhejiang Army had to launch a division and a brigade, with a total of six regiments, accounting for two-thirds of the total Zhejiang Army's strength.
Since the Zhejiang Army joined the coalition forces, Zhejiang Governor Jin Ke has been obsessed with it. Every ten minutes, he will ask, "Where is our army..."
As a result, after the troops advanced to the Yan family, they did not contact each other for several days. Jin Ke was "I missed six regiments, and I missed six groups in the Yan family..."
After talking for a long time, good news came. Six regiments and all the troops entered Liu Jingxiao's captive camp. The elite troops of the 17th Division went south. The vanguard had captured Nanjing and was now advancing rapidly towards Zhejiang Province.
Jin Ke was the general of the father-in-law who started his career. He was stable on weekdays, but he never saw this situation! The main force made Jiang Nandi lose all the clean silence in Yanjiaji. There were only three regular army regiments left in Zhejiang Province, only one regiment was in Hangzhou, the other was in Jinhua, and the other one was in Wenzhou. The rest were all local troops that were not worthy of use. They had no chance to hold the Hangzhou Battle.
So Jinke convened a staff member for two days, but there was no order at all. The only thing he could do was to let the regiment stationed in Jinhua take the train north to support Hangzhou, and let the troops from all over the area around Hangzhou gather in Hangzhou quickly.
As soon as the order was issued, bad news came. Liu Jingxiao's troops had already passed Xitang, and Jiashan was in a hurry! But no one soldier could support him. The other troops rode south on several large private yachts placed by Xu Zhen, commander-in-chief of the National Neihu Fleet, within Taihu Lake (all ships that the commander-in-chief of the Neihu Fleet could be governed) and went south, coming faster, and Huzhou had fallen!
Within a few hours, another news came from the sunny day. A large cavalry unit had arrived in Deqing. There was no force between Deqing and Hangzhou that could resist them. Now there were only 5,000 defenders in Hangzhou.
As for reinforcements, they couldn't count on them. No local troops near Hangzhou came to assist, and everyone remained still. The regiment in Jinhua is still gathering and has not yet gotten on the bus!
In desperation, Jin Ke had to send troops to discuss. Unexpectedly, although Liu Jingxiao's commander was a woman, she was extremely tough. She just said: "Order you to surrender unconditionally within twelve hours!"
When Jinke got the news, six hours had passed, and thousands of cavalry and dozens of cannons were ready to attack the city at any time outside the city (this is Jinke's own memory, but according to the detailed battle report of the 17th Division, there were only three cavalry companies near Hangzhou that day, 250 cavalry companies and 60 cavalry artillery companies with a two-door cavalry company).
The next morning, a white flag was hung on the top of the city wall in Hangzhou, and Ding Ning led his 600 cavalrymen (including some who came the night before) to hold a grand entrance ceremony. When the entry ceremony was held, some infantry had arrived in Hangzhou and participated in the entry ceremony, and the entry ceremony was delayed for six hours.
