Chapter 1045: The Last Night
The sky has entered dusk, the night of early spring, it is still relatively early, this is probably the city of Nanjing, the last complete night, the city of Nanjing is still calm, the streets are still very prosperous, there are cries of selling everywhere, around the prosperous Confucius Temple, while the sky is not dark, the hawkers do the last single business.
As an important city in the south, Nanjing has electricity, but electricity is only in a few places, or military places, and ordinary people have no way to use electricity, at most it is just a kerosene lamp.
At this moment, no one knows, this is the last night of the revolutionary party, the news of Jiang Yansheng's arrest, no one knows, on this day, in the city of Nanjing, I don't know how many people left, although Jiang Yansheng is on the list in the northwest, the position is very high, and he is one of the people who must be caught, but in the revolutionary party, it is an insignificant, the revolutionary party has more than 200 divisions, sixty or seventy armies, deputy commander and above, at least a few hundred, although his qualifications are old, he has just offended Sun Cannon's eyebrows, and was driven out by Sun Cannon, No one will look at him more.
Tomorrow night, at most 11 o'clock, the attack on Nanjing will begin, and the airship unit from the northwest has already arrived in Jiangsu in the afternoon and has stayed for a period of more than 30 kilometers north of Nanjing, which represents the arrival of the vanguard team.
After the Northwest strongly shouted its attitude towards the revolutionary party, the Northwest had already prepared to release an airship formation, and the huge airship force was actually part of the trade with Germany, and they would stop less on the Jiangsu side, and then continue to the east, load ships in Shanghai, and ship them back to Germany, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up with the battle of Paris that will start next.
More than 50 large airships. In addition, when choosing the route, it was deliberately hidden, and it could pretend to be a transport force in the northwest, and nominally transported a little more people, 130,000 people, but finally had the ability to confuse the public. Instead, it hides the aircraft of the Northwest and the ability to break up a wide range of pieces.
50 airships, connected together, are also quite large, because they appear during the day, it is impossible to be completely invisible, such an obvious action, the revolutionary party actually takes it for granted that this is a means of counterattack in the northwest, and the airship is very good. All countries are using it, but the revolutionary party and Beiyang do not have such lofty things, and the territory in the south is so big, as long as they do not come to Nanjing, they will casually move in the northwest.
If Northwest knew that he had made a mistake, I am afraid he would be really depressed. After getting the approval of the northwest, this also liberated Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan, who had been waiting outside Nanjing for a long time, also began the final preparations before the battle, and after the airship arrived, as long as he started at any time in the evening, there was no problem, but he was on the safe side. I chose tomorrow night, but the necessary Zhunbi still has to be done, and the first bullet is the special forces.
The special forces in the city began to act first, the decapitation operation. In order to find reasonableness, the decapitation operation that had to be launched a few days later than before, and the full success of the decapitation operation must be taken by at least the main revolutionary party, otherwise there would be no point in beheading. Before the Third Army could reach the surface, because it had to be launched a day later after declaring war on the revolutionary party, a small group of special forces became an inevitable choice.
In the city, small group operations are the specialty of the special forces, and now, the whole of Nanjing has become a mess, and the statement of the northwest is almost like to express, and the revolutionary party and the northwest have entered a state of war, and even if the revolutionary party shouts slogans no matter how loud it shouts, in the propaganda, it also emphasizes the dictatorship of the northwest and the hegemony of the northwest, but everyone knows that the northwest is stronger than them, and the northwest, which has never done anything to them, suddenly makes a move, and most people are in danger and have no sense of security at all.
Especially when the radio is still ringing, the radio stations in the northwest have crumpled and broken the narrative about the contradictions between the northwest and the revolutionary party, not everyone is willing to follow the revolutionary party all the way to the black, at least businessmen and ordinary people are unwilling, at this time, they give the special forces a natural cover for their actions, those on the list of the top of the revolutionary party, one does not pull, is monitored by the special forces, some have the opportunity to start, do not alarm others, such as Jiang Yansheng, directly take down, The rest are also monitored separately according to the level of the position and the difficulty of the position.
Of the 6,000 people of the special forces, 4,500 of them are doing this, and the remaining 1,500 people are the ones who will help Yan Xishan to operate tomorrow night, they must sneak attack the city gate, after killing the defenders of the city gate, open the city gate, lead the Northwest Army in, and then clean up the nodes along the way, and attack the military camp in advance to clear the obstacles for the third army.
The press conference in the northwest, of course, did not say that it had wiped out 180,000 people of the revolutionary party, this was not a surprise to the snake, but only said that the revolutionary party was shameless, and in this era, the underdevelopment of communications, in places with priority telegraph networks, information can pass through the whole world, and information can be obtained in an instant, but without this premise, any communication is very difficult, because the attack has just been only one day, even the revolutionary party has no way to find out, and the army attacking Zhenjiang and Wuxi has already received a devastating blow. They also took it for granted that it was the attack on Wuxi and Zhenjiang and the huge losses that caused them to become angry and angry, so they issued a threat of war to the revolutionary party.
Although war was declared with the northwest, the strength of the northwest was also well known, with the commitment of the Japanese, the support of the great powers, plus the nearest troops in the northwest, one in Shandong, one in Shanxi, thousands of miles away from Nanjing, they could not fly, for the time being, the main leaders had not yet run, but also actively responded, and came up with a series of coping methods, for example, on the one hand, ordering the border defenders to guard against a sudden attack in the northwest, and on the other hand, ordering other troops to speed up the progress.
The first batch of 24 nodes, just an appetizer, and then there are dozens of nodes, even if a node says tens of millions, it adds up to billions, under the guidance of the Japanese, ** broke free from the cage, wealth and capital, as if it was an infinite temptation, fascinated the eyes of the revolutionary party, they couldn't even consider the strong strength of the northwest, and even began to think about the future, from a city, saw countless wealth, compared one-sided, but it was real, It's all started, so it's better to be a little stronger, kill the first batch of 24 nodes to stop vomiting, and continue.
In the view of the revolutionary party, with the support of Japan, it should be able to resist the advance of the revolutionary party, and at least with the support of Japan and the foreign powers, the northwest must be a rat trap, otherwise the Japanese and the foreign powers will directly send troops to come, and the northwest will not be an opponent at all.
In the camp of the revolutionary party, it is not completely without a view of the overall situation, but people with a view of the overall situation often leave, in this world, there are very few Chinese who are really clear about the world situation, basically all of them are in the northwest, and the entire Western society is caught in the European war, perhaps the United States is an exception, but with the butterfly of the northwest, the United States joined the camp of the Entente faster than in history, and at this time, there is no more ability to interfere in China's affairs.
As for Japan, it is an unqualified power, it does not have a strong industry, and the knowledge of industrial production accounts for 1% of the world, such a country is not worth paying attention to.
The revolutionary party did not expect it in any way, but it was only a short-lived front. After the press conference was released, the Northwest began military operations around the revolutionary party, and larger battles began one after another, and everything was decided in one battle, and they did not even have the ability to react.
Before the Third Army's attack on Nanking began, the Japanese army in Shandong was engaged in fire to the northwest. In 7 days, under the premise that there was no cover on the line from Hebei to Shandong, and Japan could drive straight in, it was enough for the Japanese to approach the first heavily fortified city of the Northwest Army, and the Japanese did not rashly attack, and after a little temptation, they began to assemble troops, 12 divisions of the Japanese army, plus the follow-up troops, at least about 500,000, and Japan did not lie to the revolutionary party, they did do it, but the result of this action is debatable.
Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, the battle of Shandong started for the time being, Yan Xishan also got the news, looking at the telegraph operator's records, developed radio communications, so that the soldiers in the northwest, in any place, can grasp everything that happens in the country, so that the overall situation is far from being comparable to the beauty of ordinary troops.
Shandong has started, obviously, on the first day, the Northwest Army is closed and fought, in order to let the follow-up of Japan press up, the target is to face the Japanese army of the 16 divisions, as well as the follow-up 8 divisions, a total of almost 500,000 people, they can live a little longer if they do not assemble, once assembled, it is an elegy, and in the next time, it will be divided and surrounded by the heavy corps and superior firepower of the northwest side, and the other Japanese troops will also be hit accordingly.
At most 3 days, the battle situation will be clear, this is the habit of the northwest, in the early stage, prepare as much as possible, once you are ready, once the war starts, then Botu will also use all his strength, steady and ruthless strikes, after laying the foundation in the early stage, and then kill the opponent.
Obviously, the First Army is going to make great contributions again, after last year's Qingdao Campaign, once again made a contribution, compared to the First Army, his battle is simpler, the First Army is facing the superior strength of the Japanese army, at least four or five times, Nanjing, because of the transfer of troops, there are less than 30,000 people left, but they have 140,000 troops, special forces, paratroopers, well-trained army, everything is available, he has no reason not to win.
