Eighty-five Hunan Campaign I

"No Hunan can not be an army" This is the consensus of the military leaders in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and this is used to describe the huge role of Hunan people in the army, which is also the case. However, by the time of the Republic of China, the Hunan army suddenly became weak, so that the originally strong Hunan became the fat meat of the northern and southern forces competing with each other. In the time and space where Luo Yaoguo is now, this situation is even more prominent.

The biggest responsibility for the weakness of the Hunan army is probably the first calligrapher of the Republic of China, a gourmet, and a grandmother Tan who is good at riding horses and shooting guns. Granny Tan is a typical example of a nest of bears, the three main generals of the Hunan army at that time were still good at fighting, Granny Tan was a senior scribe at all, and Zhao Hengti was actually similar to Granny Tan. Since the defeat of Northern Wu Peifu, Zhao Hengti has suffered from battlefield phobia, and what is even more troublesome is that he was attacked by Zhu Yaohua in Changsha last time, which made Zhao Overseer refuse to leave the lair easily and became a housekeeper.

"This Zhao Hengti seems to smell something." Looking at the latest intelligence, Luo Yaoguo shrugged and came to a conclusion. "The Fourth Division of Tang Shengzhi and the First Division of Hunan stationed in Changde have all entered Changsha City."

"Well, this General Zhao seems to know that we are going to surround him, so he is working very hard to cooperate with us." An Sihua (from now on, An Yi will be called An Sihua in words and lines) The face of the combination of Chinese and Western is full of contempt.

Luo Yaoguo nodded and said, "This Zhao Hengti is now unwilling to give up his nest, and he is not worried about his general, so he has to give up the whole of Hunan." Sihua, what's the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Luo Yaoguo was a little worried about Chiang Kai-shek's reinforcement of the Zhejiang army, and in his memory, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War seemed to end with the defeat of Zhejiang-Lu, and this defeat seemed to come quickly. In this way, wouldn't the direct army of more than 100,000 people have to be borne by Chiang Kai-shek alone?

"Oh no! Oh no! Sun Chuanfang raided Xianxia Ridge! The principal's road to Zhejiang has been cut off! Li Wenhua, who ran in in a panic, brought shocking news that the battlefield in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had indeed undergone drastic changes.

"Jixian (Li Wenhua), don't worry, if you have something to say, talk slowly, what's going on." Luo Yaoguo knew that Xianxialing was an important road located at the intersection of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces, and the terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was not so easy to lose, and it was estimated that it was the credit of the ocean, and Luo Yaoguo didn't seem to look like it when he thought about it. "That's not right, aren't the people who defend Xianxia Ridge Zang Zhiping and Yang Huazhao? Both of them are the backbone of the Anhui family from Fujian, and Xu Rugong can't keep them with 300,000 oceans, will they be bought by Sun Chuanfang this time? "Zang and Yang were originally Anhui troops stationed in Fujian, and Xu Chongzhi once wanted to pull them into the Kuomintang and spend 300,000 oceans to buy hands!

Li Wenhua shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem to be Zang and Yang, they seem to have just been appointed as the deputy commanders of the first and second route armies in Zhejiang to go to the border of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the troops sent by Lu Zijiaxin to Xianxialing were moved by Sun Chuanfang, and we don't know who they are." Xianxialing was lost, and the principal's army could not enter Zhejiang from the north road, and now it is rerouted to Wenzhou. It seems that Lu Zijia is in danger this time! Zhejiang Weiwei! ”

Li Wenhua is a native of Zhejiang, and he seems to be very anxious about the imminent military ravages in his hometown, and he can't wait for the Guangdong soldiers of the Sixth Division led by Lao Jiang to put on their wings and fly to Zhejiang.

"Oh, I see." Luo Yaoguo's face never changed, he just nodded gently. He knew that Lu Yongxiang couldn't hold it, but he didn't know why he couldn't hold it, and now he finally understood that there was internal annihilation. Hehe, in the civil war of the Republic of China, the ocean seems to be really more effective than artillery. If this is the case, Luo Yaoguo is completely relieved of Chiang Kai-shek's journey, and the Ministry of Finance of the Nationalist Axe sowed 10 million "special funds for bribery", and Finance Minister Song Ziwen personally followed Chiang Kai-shek all the way with a checkbook. Ten million! It's about the same price as Cao Kun to buy the president, so I don't believe that I can't defeat those Beiyang soldiers. It is estimated that now Lao Jiang has changed to Wenzhou not because he "can't afford" Xianxia Pass, but because the blood of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War has not been enough!

"There is an accident in Zhejiang, Feng Zhang's actions will definitely be accelerated, and we must also prepare. Now the allegiance letters from all over Hunan are flying to Tan Yanmin like snowflakes, as long as we move, Zhao Hengti will be a lonely city. An Sihua was smiling and analyzing the battle situation in Hunan. The result of Zhao Hengti's use of all four divisions to guard the old nest was that he showed his cowardice in front of the gentry of Northern Hunan, and now the hearts of the people in Hunan have completely belonged to the Kuomintang, or it should be the hearts of the landlords and rich peasants in Hunan. Now it is only September 24, and the peasant ** movement in Hunan has not even risen in shadows, and it is still the landrich class that rules the countryside. The gentry everywhere saw that Zhao Hengti concentrated his troops in Changsha and could not retreat, so they naturally lost confidence in him.

"We have to wait and see now, and we must wait for Fengzhang to fight." Luo Yaoguo's meaning is still to wait, this battle is a matter of life and death, and there is always half of the country, if Luo Wu's main force is brought in, it will be a defeat for both sides, so that Feng Zhang can pick up the cheap.

Speaking of Sun Chuanfang's takeover of Xianxialing this time, he actually bought off the local army in Zhejiang, although Lu Yongxiang is the overseer of Zhejiang, he is actually an outsider, he is a warlord of the Beiyang Anhui system. There are also two major systems under his subordinates, one is the troops of the Beiyang Anhui system. The second is the local troops in Zhejiang. However, most of the local troops in Zhejiang were from the Liberation Society, and they were not all the way to Mr. Zhongshan, so it was still a little difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to buy them. This time, Sun Chuanfang spent 200,000 oceans and the position of governor of Zhejiang Province to buy off Xia Chao, the head snake of Zhejiang, and Xia Chao instructed Zhang Guowei, the general of the Zhejiang army, to defect and sell Xianxialing. Sun Chuanfang's 2nd Division, Zhou Yinren's Mixed Brigade, and Jiangxi's 3rd Mixed Brigade occupied Xianxialing, blocking Chiang Kai-shek's reinforcements on the one hand, and threatening Jiangshan condescendingly on the other.

The Zhejiang-Lu side, which had lost the danger of Xianxialing, could only use the headquarters of Pan Guogang, the first division of the Zhejiang Army, to deploy defenses near the flat Jiangshan City to block Sun Chuanfang's attack, and at the same time report to the Kuomintang. However, Chiang Kai-shek had no way to fly over Xianxialing now, so he could only make a detour through Wenzhou into Zhejiang, and it would take at least seven or eight days to reach Quzhou. Sun Chuanfang naturally also knew that the Kuomintang's Guangdong soldiers were powerful, so he stepped up his onslaught to attack the country. From September 10, the fierce attack was launched, and in only three days, the first division of Zhejiang was defeated to seize Jiangshan, and then turned to attack Quzhou, and on the 15th, it also captured Quzhou, an important town in western Zhejiang, and Pan Guogang led the remnants of the first division of Zhejiang to rout all the way to Longyou. And that Chiang Kai-shek was still wandering on the border of Fujian and Zhejiang until September 16. At this point, Lu Yongxiang also knew that this battle could not be fought, so he began to arrange a retreat. However, although Lu Yongxiang was a reactionary warlord, he also had merits, and he did not break the tank and plunder the army because he was about to fail, but ordered the officers and soldiers of all departments to immediately settle all debts to the private merchants, and to withdraw from Hangzhou that night with discipline and discipline.

Although Zhelu failed in Zhejiang, they still have one last piece of turf, Shanghai. At that time, Shanghai was the largest commercial city in China, and there was no problem in raising seven or eight divisions of soldiers in the commercial tax of a Shanghai city. Therefore, if Lu Yongxiang retreats to Shanghai, if he can hold on to Chiang Kai-shek's rescue, he may be able to make a comeback.

Just when Zhelu was fighting with Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang, Fengzhang in the north finally got into trouble with his direct family. On September 13, 1924, the train of the Jingfeng Line was stopped, and on the 15th, Zhang Zuolin's Feng army officially began to attack the direct line. This warlord war, which is called the "Anti-Straight War" in the history of this time and space, has finally officially begun! The General Headquarters of the Second Front Army, also known as Hengyang, also received an order from the Military Committee and began to launch the Hunan Campaign.

The Kuomintang troops participating in the Hunan Campaign had 11 divisions and 3 artillery regiments, and the 11 divisions were the 7th Division commanded by Gu Zhutong, the 8th Division commanded by Wang Bao, the 9th Division commanded by Wang Bailing, the 10th Division commanded by Wei Lihuang, the 11th Division commanded by Chen Cheng, the 12th Division commanded by Li Shunen, the 21st Division commanded by Lu Diping, the 22nd Division commanded by Zhang Huizan, the 23rd Division commanded by Wu Jianxue, the 24th Division commanded by Xie Guoguang, and the 25th Division commanded by Wang Maogong. Among them, the eighth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and twenty-fifth divisions were relatively strong, and the four Hunan divisions and Wang Bailing's ninth division were weaker in combat.

The 25th Division was mainly composed of soldiers from Guizhou, and the division commander was Wang Maogong, who was originally a brigade commander under Huang Dawei, but because of the fall of Huang Dawei, he was not very happy and became an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy. However, recently, because the Kuomintang army has expanded too rapidly and lacks excellent officers, I remembered that there were still some backbones of Huang Dawei sitting on the cold bench, so I found a lot of people who were stuffed into the 25th Division as officers, and the three regiment commanders of the 25th Division were Liang Guoyi, Lu Futing, and Hu Jiabi, all of whom were very good professional officers. With Huang Dawei's subordinate veteran officers as the backbone, plus a large number of Huangpu first-phase graduates, and a group of good-quality soldiers selected from Guizhou, the 25 th Division has become an elite.

Because the four Hunan army divisions retained too many former Hunan army officers, their combat effectiveness is worrying. These Granny Tan's subordinates are not very good at fighting. The Ninth Division is Chiang Kai-shek's descendant, and the division commander Wang Bailing is a close comrade-in-arms of Lao Chiang, oh, Ma Jiali is what he found for Luo Yaoguo. Wang Bailing would go to the Whampoa Military Academy as an instructor in history, but in this time and space, because he became a division commander in advance, he was not interested in instructors or anything. Under the leadership of his division commander, this division has been enjoying happiness for the past two years, and it seems that he has not trained well, as for Wang Bailing, the division commander, he is immersed in the gentle township as a whole, and he has no intention of military affairs at all.
