The next day, Wu Canglei and Chen Yu jointly sent a telegram saying that although the attack encountered strong resistance, the progress was still quite smooth, and the founding Hunan Army in the city was already in a state of shrinking.

Liu Jingxiao immediately placed the main transportation force on the Hangzhou-Jinhua section of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line, and his own guard troops were also increased from one company to one battalion, and the troops that followed Jiangxi also reached a group of more than one person.

However, this was later considered to be a serious mistake by Liu Jingxiao. Some people even believe that if Liu Jingxiao can continue to strengthen reinforcements to Nanchang, the Nanchang battle would not be so cruel and bloody.

Among the Southern Army, the leading troops must be the miscellaneous troops. On the battlefield in Jiangxi, in addition to the Jianguo Hunan Army and the Jianguo Yunnan Army, there were several miscellaneous troops such as the Jianguo Sui Army, the Jianguo Gui Army, the Jianguo Gui Army, the Jianguo Shaanxi Army, and other miscellaneous troops. Just when Wu Canglei was attacking fiercely, these miscellaneous troops rushed to the periphery of Nanchang for the position of Jiangxi governor and quickly joined the battlefield.

Just when Liu Jingxiao had not noticed this, the battlefield suddenly changed tremendously.

After a large-scale organization in Guangdong, these miscellaneous troops have not had bad combat effectiveness, and have complete firearms. Mo Di also invested a lot of money and directly transported several trucks of banknotes to the front line to distribute military pay to the troops.

Although the reputation of Guangdong Province's banknotes is not as good as that of Southeast United Bank, it is also a real one. There is no problem in the southwestern provinces and Fujian and Jiangxi. The morale of each army has greatly boosted, especially Mo Di promised in advance: "Those who make the first contribution in Nanchang will be divided by the heavy remuneration of the Gang Governor, and the troops will be rewarded with another 4 million yuan!"

Wu Canglei only knew a little about the arrival of enemy reinforcements. When he continued to launch his troops to launch an attack on the Jianguo Hunan Army, he found that the enemy was fighting more and more, and the more he fought, the more stubborn it became. In this case, his chief of staff Chen Ying decisively issued an order to move to the defense on the spot.

But it was too late, and the first wave of the Southern Army's offensive quickly came. At 6 pm, the Southern Army attacked Duan Zhai, who was stationed by the Liu Army with a regiment. The Liu Army, who was responsible for the defense, was in an unfavorable situation and was forced to retreat quickly. The three nearby courtyards immediately lost their defense, opening the prelude to the Southern Army's counterattack.

In the short prelude, the casualties of Liu Jun were very serious. According to the battle report: "Our army suffered 103 casualties, lost 47 contacts, and lost two artillery pieces...", but this was just the beginning.

The Southern Army made full use of their military strength and launched an attack like a tide. They had a considerable advantage in heavy weapons. The Liu Army and Jianguo Hunan Army had been fighting for many days and were already quite tired and felt very difficult to resist this new force.

The two sides fought for houses and landed, and from time to time, they attacked through walls and holes, demolishing large and small houses in Nanchang into rubble. The diary of the Wu Cang Leisi Command on the same day recorded: "On the day, our army lost more than a thousand casualties. Although the enemy was twice as big as ours, the enemy reinforcements continued to enter..."

At this time, evil news came again. The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, the lifeline of the Liu army, was cut off by the Southern Army again. The area controlled by the Liu army once reached two-thirds of the total area of ​​Nanchang City. Under the offensive of the Southern Army, half of it was lost in one day.

Chen Ying had the style of a general. He said to Wu Canglei: "Since the support is cut off, we must make a long-term plan!"

Wu Canglei agreed, so Chen Ying was in charge of the rear, strictly inspected the personnel in the management area, strictly prohibited spies from infiltration, and strictly controlled them, and recruited civilian manpower for military use. All stocks and civilian food, medicines, bedding and other military supplies stored by the civilian will be purchased by the military, and the military will distribute them according to the quantity every day.

However, the consumption was extremely large for many days of combat, especially the shells were calculated as Chen Ying, and the bullets were only used for one week. In particular, the twelve-pound mountain grenade, which had the largest dosage, only three days, so Chen Ying must control the use.

Wu Canglei was called a powerful general, and he couldn't sit still in this situation. He called a telegram of 100,000 urgently to ask Liu Jingxiao for help.

However, Liu Jingxiao had no troops to send. He could only control more than one guard battalion. In addition to the road protection army, the troops entering Jiangxi only had more than one regiment of troops. They are still in chariots. Even if this regiment of troops faces tens of thousands of troops in the city, they can only support the periphery. If they attack rashly, they would probably become meat buns and beat dogs.

At present, he could only urge the railways to speed up transportation and mobilize all the troops at hand to support the situation outside Nanchang. However, according to his income, the Liu army in Nanchang City has only less than 10,000 troops, while the besieged Nanjun has more than 40,000 miscellaneous troops.

However, another piece of information that came soon made Liu Jingxiao even more headache.

In addition to the newly appeared number of the five regiments of the Southern Army on the Fujian-Zhejiang border, a formation of the Guangdong Fourth Fleet broke through the strait on the same day and successfully arrived at the coastal line of northern Fujian. According to the situation from the special pipeline, the formation was loaded with a reinforced brigade of the Southern Army. In other words, the Southern Army may now land at any time from Zhejiang to Shandong.

Especially on the coast of Zhejiang adjacent to the war zone, the Southern Army may land behind the Liu Army at any time, forcing the Liu Army to deploy defenses along the coast. In other words, such a formation of naval forces is placed in the sea, with a power of even more than a few divisions.

To this end, the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet raised the strongest protests, especially the Second Fleet of Taiwan regards the Fourth Fleet as "a rogue invasion! This is our sea area, please withdraw immediately..." It's a pity that the main forces of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet have all gone south, and only a few small warships are deploying defenses along the coast, and cannot fight against the offensive of the Fourth Fleet.

At least this formation of the Fourth Fleet is organized with two battleships as the core. Although most of them are sailing warships, under the current circumstances, they can at least be considered invincible. After Liu Jing learned about this, he immediately ordered all the coastal areas to strengthen their vigilance, and then rushed Lin Lingcao to rush the ship formation south to Zhoushan, ready to intercept the Fourth Fleet heading north at any time.

However, Liu Jingxiao was extremely concerned about how much the Lin Lingcao formation could play, and the situation in Wen and Taiwan is also quite unfavorable. Although two regiments were added, the total strength reached five and a half regiments and two independent battalions, the Southern Army also added five regiments, and he was still at a disadvantage in his troops. In addition, the threat from Shanghai, Han Xinhai in Jinhua called for the main transportation capacity to support Wen and Taiwan. As a result, Liu Jingxiao could only call back: "Then I can only bring one of my guard battalions to support Nanchang in person!"

Less than two hours after the telegram was sent, Liu Jingxiao was going to take one of his own guard battalions to the front line.

After arriving in front of the enemy, a reinforced battalion of the Liu army got off the train and immediately followed the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway to support Nanchang. Soon after, they encountered a division of the sniper Southern Army. For a moment, the sound of killing was shocking and guns and cannons rumbled.

The Liu Army battalion attacked the Southern Army positions seven times in a row. The two sides launched hand-to-hand combats many times. The battle situation once reached a white-hot level. However, the Southern Army used snipers to snipe, with a total force of nearly 10,000. Although the Liu Army's reinforcement battalion had nearly a thousand people, it was forced to stop the attack after the seven attacks. The Southern Army instead surrounded the Liu Army's reinforcement battalion and surrounded the Liu Army's reinforcement battalion.

The reinforcements themselves were surrounded, and the two infantry battalions that got out of the car immediately launched rescue under the leadership of the regiment commander. Unfortunately, the Southern Army had too many troops. After rushing for a few times, they almost even fell into it.

When Liu Jingxiao heard this, she couldn't help but shouted: "I'll take the guard battalion up here in person... These are all the backbone forces from our 17th Division..."

Immediately someone told the regiment commander on the front line: "If you can't attack, the division commander will personally bring the guard battalion to support..."

The regiment commander was also very scared. Fortunately, a train brought the regiment headquarters and several companies that were behind. The regiment commander immediately raised his arms and organized an attack with the cooperation of the new troops. Finally, the battalion was connected to the surrounded battalion. However, under the repeated attacks of the Southern Army, this battalion suffered a great loss and almost lost its offensive ability.

But Liu Jingxiao can also count on the mixed regiment in northern Jiangxi, the rest of the troops are still trying their best to get lucky. He also knows that this tactic of adding fuel is a difficult strategy, but now he has to do this. He only hopes that the strengthening regiment in northern Jiangxi can quickly arrive in Nanchang.

However, Wu Canglei lived a good life. He was an expert in offensive warfare and had little experience in defense. However, Chen Yu was once an expert in defense tactics. This time he became Feng Fu, and he even built his position tightly.

Once Liu Jingxiao's troops play garrison warfare, they will take advantage of their own advantages of building cities and defense. No matter what kind of land, the opponents will suffer a great loss, especially since there are a large number of tall buildings in Nanchang City that can be used as ready-made fortifications, the attack of the Southern Army suffered a great hardship.

Often, a company of soldiers struggled forward under the dense rain of bullets. When they approached, there were whistling shells hitting them. Countless grenades flew out from the houses on both sides. Finally, they had to taste the famous bayonet formation of Liu Jingxiao's troops. Under such circumstances, the Southern Army attacked for two days in a row, and suffered heavy casualties of three or four thousand people, but obtained several small positions that were not worth mentioning.

According to Wu Cang Leidi's good news, "Our army's defense is solid, with four hundred casualties today, and the enemy's casualties are several times higher than that of me..."

Just as Liu Jingxiao was scheduling troops, another amazing news came out.

The Fengtian Army in Guanli led by Sun Tingyu suddenly declared independence. The entire army gathered and was preparing to march towards Luanzhou.

The Feng army in the pass was the main body of Sun Tingyu's Second Army. The Second Army can be said to be the essence of the Feng army, especially the Feng army has worked hard for many years to be assigned to the Second Army. The artillery of the Second Army can also be called the Feng army's top.

As for infantry units, the Second Army's local infantry units are the most combat-effective infantry units in the Fengtian Army, and are also known as the most excellent equipment. Therefore, although the Second Army has only 130,000 to 140,000, it is the strongest troops in the Fengtian Army's battle.

Although there were more than 200,000 Fengtian troops left outside the pass, they were distributed in the vast northeastern region and were not strong in combat. Only cavalry can be regarded as a reference.

This action shocked Liu Jingxiao's entire headquarters for a moment, and they talked: "It seems that Sun Tingyu is going to grab the seal..."

Liu Jingxiao immediately shouted angrily: "What are you quarreling! Let's solve our own affairs first! Let's talk about them, their problems have nothing to do with us for the time being!"

Before Sun Tingyu rebelled against Fengfeng, he sent representatives to contact Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao's attitude was very clear at that time and he would never interfere with internal affairs in the north. First of all, he wanted to solve the problem of the Southern Army's Northern Expedition. Sun Tingyu's uprising was as expected.

However, Sun Tingyu still had some thin face to Zhang Buyun. He did not directly urge him to oppose Feng Feng, but instead urged him to "clear the lord's side". He said to his generals in advance: "After all, Bu Shuai promoted me. If it succeeds this time, we will not invite him to step down, so we recommend him to form a cabinet in Beijing..."

He had very talented generals and had a high opinion of himself. He estimated that the army would be able to pacify the Northeast within a few days. Therefore, he promised several supervisors and governors in advance. He reorganized the Second Army into the "First Route Army of the Northeast Republic", and the troops were renamed as army, and from brigades to divisions. As for the officers of the Second Army, all officers were promoted to one level.

However, it was Guan Shanhe's attitude that Liu Jingxiao couldn't figure out. Sun Tingyu's uprising was originally a conspiracy between Sun and Guan Shanhe. However, after Sun's uprising, Guan Shanhe's attitude was unstable. Sun's troops set out to Luanzhou. According to the original plan, Guan Shanhe's troops would also attack out of the mouth at the same time, and the two families jointly resolved Zhang Buyun.

Now Guan Shanhe is an attitude of not being attentive. He is typically trying to benefit from the fisherman, but Sun Tingyu has already jumped into the fire pit and has to continue sending troops and sweep them all the way. The Feng army is already in a defeat.

What Liu Jingxiao was worried about was whether Guan Shanhe would take a dangerous attack and attack Shandong. After all, a new enemy number appeared near Guan Shanhe. On the battlefield of Fujian and Zhejiang, the Southern Army had already crossed the Zhejiang-Fujian border across the entire line.

However, in one day and one night, Liu Jingxiao finally assembled most of an infantry division. He immediately ordered the troops to launch an attack and must defeat the Southern Army in front of him.

On that day and night, the sound of gunfire in Nanchang City was endless. The Southern Army repeatedly attacked as many as 16 or 7 times, making Chen Yu unable to withstand it. The offensive of Liu Jingxiao's rescue troops was like a tide. Under the cover of armored cannon vehicles, the troops attacked the Southern Army along the railway line.

The Southern Army could still withstand a wave of trouble at first, but under the fierce artillery bombardment, it gradually became unsupported. In the afternoon, the reinforcements were less than 30 kilometers away from Nanchang.

For this reason, the Southern Army had to draw 5,000 people from the troops besieging Liu's army and transfer them to attack aid.

Liu Jingxiao was calm and calm. After these days, his support continued to come, and at that time, the Southern Army would go but not return.

Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, the situation on the battlefield changed significantly.

Yun Jiuyue, the leader of the Wentai Guardian Independent Corps, led his troops to rebel.

This news is so bad!

It's not just about taking a regiment to rebel. Although Yun Jiuyue not only pulled away his independent regiment, she also threatened the two local independent battalions to rebel together.

At the same time, it was a large-scale attack by the Southern Army, a sea landing battle carried out at the same time as the land offensive. With the support of the fleet, a reinforced battalion of the Southern Army landed in the Lingkun area.

In the Wentai area, Liu Jingxiao arranged five and a half regiments and two local independent battalions. However, Zhong Xiaodao's troops had been fighting with the Southern Army for a long time, and suffered heavy casualties. Only two newly arrived infantry regiments were still in sufficient order. However, the two regiments were the most damaged in this mutiny of Yun Jiuyue.

The Southern Army, which had an advantage in military strength, launched a surprise attack on the two regiments through Yun Jiuyue's defense line. The troops were caught off guard, and some companies did not have time to withdraw.

At present, Liu Jingxiao in Wentai area is facing four infantry regiments with more than 50,000 Southern Army, civilian army and rebels. These four infantry regiments are all under-organized troops, with actual strength of only 6,000. The Southern Army still feels that the trouble caused to the Northern Army is not enough, and instigates the Chen Quanwei rebellion in Taizhou.

Chen Quanwei is a great man in Taizhou. His family has thousands of acres of fertile land. He can eat well in the Black and White Road. He usually has hundreds of guns. His former governor of Zhejiang was a sworn brother. Before Liu's army headed south, he also allowed him to recruit people by himself. Although Chen Quanwei was hit hard in the Wentai area, he was still a person who could shake the ground even if he said something.

This time, the former Zhejiang Governor Jin Ke wrote a vivid letter from Chen Quanwei. He has always respected the suffrage the most. When the Southern Army is powerful, Liu Jun suffered repeated setbacks on Wentai. He immediately took 150 rifles issued by the Southern Army, and then collected several nearby pirates, plus 200 guns from his own land to raise troops in Wenling's hometown.

He was a local snake. He was the only one in Wenling County. The township custodians of Wenling Townships and villages were his old subordinates. After hearing that he had risen, he brought his troops to join him. In a few days, it had grown to more than 2,000 guns, and then gathered bandits to attack Wenling County.

In addition to hundreds of policemen, there was only one strengthening the platoon garrison in Wenling County. The war was not good, and the platoon leader of the defending army decided to break through. The officers and soldiers rushed out of the rain of bullets with bayonets, but less than half of them succeeded in breaking through. As for the police, most of them disarmed the armed forces of Chen Quanwei's bandits. In this battle, the county town was opened, and two or three hundred guns were obtained, and a large amount of money and supplies were added. The bandits were even more arrogant. Several times they were active on the coast, and the pirates came to vote. Chen Quanwei also officially launched the banner of "Fuzhou and Zhejiang People's Anti-Liu General Headquarters."

Chen Quanwei's mutiny cut off the connection between Wentai, which made Liu Jingxiao's troops and soldiers were forced to dispatch troops to recover Wenling with the strength of an infantry regiment, and the Southern Army also attached great importance to Chen Quanwei. He immediately sent a transport ship to smuggle Wenling.

This fireboat carries weapons and a large amount of ammunition that can arm 800 people. In addition, there were 300,000 yuan Guangdong provincial currency to Modi Chen Quanwei. In addition, there were 30 military advisers sent by Guangdong. The ship arrived in Wenling County very smoothly. Chen Quanwei immediately sent people to unload the materials on the ship. With this strong support, Chen Quanwei's troops immediately claimed to have led 60,000 troops, of which about 28,000 troops directly under the jurisdiction, and 32,000 troops obeyed his orders. According to the observation of the military adviser of the Southern Army, Chen Weiquan's actual force was more than 4,000 troops, and the troops who declared obeyed the command were said to have 60,000 troops, but only God knows the actual number.

Wenzhou City.

"Deputy Commander Zhong Xunjian:... The hatred for taking his wife must not be forgotten. Why should Deputy Commander Zhong stay under others? Today, the rebel army collected 200,000 yuan in Zhejiang. Liu Jingxiao's failure is a foregone conclusion. Why should Zhong Xiaodao make unnecessary sacrifices... If he can lead his troops to promote righteousness and give Liu Jingxiao a fatal blow, September is willing to introduce you to Mo Shuai..."

Zhong Xiaodao's face became increasingly ugly. Before the clerk finished reading, he grabbed the letter of surrender and teared it in half. He pounded his hands heavily on the table and scolded loudly: "It's outrageous!"

He was so angry that he heard him angrily: "I can surrender to anyone! Could you tell me to surrender to the villain Yun Jiuyue?"

When the officers thought of the battle with Yun Jiuyue over the past few months, they all gritted their teeth and couldn't help but curse. Zhong Xiaodao unbuttoned Feng Ji's button and said loudly: "If it weren't for him, Yun Jiuyue, how could southern Zhejiang be so decayed! How could we suffer such a big loss?"

Yun Jiuyue has successfully defeated several sieges of the Fujian bandits in the past few months, but judging from the current situation, he has completely colluded with the Southern Army. In the past few months, Zhong Xiaodao's troops not only have to deal with the siege of Fujian civilians, but also have to fight life and death with Yun Jiuyue who is cooperating with the enemy.

Zhong Xiaodao himself was almost dismissed from his post and investigated. Fortunately, Liu Jingxiao and Han Xinhai took more care of him, so he kept the position of deputy commander. When he thought of this, he took off his coat and continued to scold: "That's right! I, Zhong Xiaodao, have indeed liked Chen Xiuting, but there is no hatred for robbing his wife. It's Yun Jiuyue who harmed many of our good brothers!"

While he was talking, a burst of rapid shelling sounded, and Zhong Xiaodao cursed: "Grandma! This guy must have sold the city defense map to the Southern Heroes, Captain Chen!"

A very energetic officer saluted: "Here!"

"Okay! Take the lead in protruding, my group is responsible for cutting off the rear!"

Now the Southern Army has occupied most of Wenzhou, and Wenzhou is an isolated city. This city built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty may not be able to withstand the siege of the Southern Army. Zhong Xiaodao issued the most rational order: "The entire army retreats!"

The one who hated Yun Jiuyue even more than Zhong Xiaodao was Han Xinhai, who was in Jinhua. After Yun Jiuyue's rebellion, the defense line in southern Zhejiang was torn. Han Xinhai was in a hurry, and even the army used by Jing Xiao to support the battlefield in Jiangxi dared to intercept it. He stopped many chariots one after another. Most of the officers in the car were old acquaintances of Han Xinhai, and he also gave him face. After discussion between the two sides, a 3,000-person infantry regiment was left, and then some special forces detachments formed a mixed detachment.

Although Liu Jingxiao was very dissatisfied with Han Xinhai's arbitrarily intercepting the troops, the situation in southern Zhejiang was so urgent that it was a helpless solution. Han Xinhai took this mixed detachment and another mixed detachment in hand composed of a large infantry regiment as the foundation, and prepared to do his best to protect the lifeline of Liu's army of Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line.

When Liu Jingxiao received some reinforcements, she was also in a hurry to launch an offensive and strive to resolve the Nanchang Army.

Liu Jingxiao personally rushed to Nanchang and wanted to lead troops to meet Wu Canglei and Chen Yu in the city. As soon as his order was issued, someone immediately advised: "Teacher Commander... Why do you have to take risks in person?"

Liu Jingxiao said firmly: "Any soldier and soldier in my coalition should not be given up easily, not to mention that there are nearly 10,000 soldiers in the city!"

Ding Ning volunteered to be Liu Jingxiao's vanguard. The reinforcements this time included one and half of the division, most of which were elite troops who had just arrived on the battlefield. Liu Jingxiao planned to take four more divisions to Jiangxi. Except for the number of first divisions in the city, most of them were among this reinforcements.

Someone advised: "Ship Liu, what if there is any major change, what should I do if the handling is delayed?"

Liu Jingxiao smiled and said, "Junqing is in Jinan and will deal with it!"
To be continued...
