Chapter 186: Shanghai Hu Army

Seeing that the faces of some of his subordinates were already flushed, they were obviously excited, and at this time, Chen Jingyun nodded to Feng Qin. Feng Qin stood up, then personally walked to a huge military map behind him, first explained the movements of the Beiyang Army and the Soviet Army, and then said the current deployment of the National Army.

After saying this, Feng Qincai continued: "According to the commander's instructions, the General Staff is expected to launch the third combat plan!" "The General Staff of the Nationalist Army has many operational plans for the southern Jiangsu region of Zhejiang, and different situations are to adopt different operational plans.

"According to the battle plan, the 1st Division will be responsible for the battle on the Eastern Front, occupy Shanghai, Suzhou and then go north to Wuxi to deal with the enemy forces in Nantong and other directions. At that time, the Navy's Fuzhou Fleet will also cooperate with the operation! ”

After Sa Zhenbing led the navy to escort Chen Jingyun to Hangzhou, he did not rush to leave, but docked in Hangzhou for supplies, which is now used in the direction of Shanghai.

"The second division will go north along Changxing, control Liyang and Lishui, and then continue north to Nanjing depending on the situation."

"The Seventh Division also set out from Hangzhou, followed closely by the Second Division, and after passing Yixing, covered the right flank of the Second Division and marched north side by side, and covered the left flank of the First Division."

"The Fourth Division urgently marched to Jiaxing, and then reinforced the First Division or the Second Division depending on the situation!"

"The Guards Division will remain in Hangzhou as a general reserve."

"The above is the preliminary plan of the No. 3 combat plan, and the follow-up plan will be adjusted according to the development of the battle situation!"

What Feng Qin said when he reported the plan was very simple, of course, he was just saying it simply, but this huge battle plan involving five divisions was extremely complicated, and it required the coordination of the headquarters and staff departments, the logistics department, and the equipment department to complete such a large-scale joint operation. For example, if a combat unit wants to go to capture a certain place and anticipate the possibility of a fierce battle, then the logistics department must supply the relevant combat materials in advance, and then supply the unit in the future, which will plan the supply route and related transportation capacity and materials in advance.

In recent years, the general war of tens of thousands of people was by no means a matter of fighting and retreating when the generals said a few words, and the war had become a systematic project. To set this war machine in motion, it will require a large number of people to coordinate everything, and it will require detailed and sophisticated plans.

After Feng Qin finished speaking, Chen Jingyun said: "We will definitely win this battle, because we can't afford to lose!" ”

Despite many accidents, and despite the fact that the leaders of both sides were unwilling to fight so early, this war between the Beiyang Army and the National Army still had to be fought!

On the morning of October 19, the 2nd Division stationed in Huzhou officially left the camp under the order of Ma Cheng, and set foot on the land of Jiangsu with the farewell of the autumn wind and fallen leaves behind him.

A peasant woman who lived near the camp watched the groups of Nationalists in green uniforms march north, and muttered, "There is another war!" ”

The farmer next to him smoked a dry cigarette and sighed: "This time, I don't know how many people will come back alive, this is going to be a head!" ”

When Ma Cheng led the second division to the north, Chen Weihua of Jiaxing also ordered his subordinate troops to march to Shanghai and Suzhou at the same time.

Shanghai not only has thousands of Shanghai troops and merchants, but more importantly, Shanghai is not an ordinary city, the countries are very sensitive to Shanghai, and if it is chaotic, it is easy to bring trouble to the national army. Chen Weihua knew that if he brought big trouble to the commander, then his division commander would do it, so he did not recklessly send troops to Shanghai, but sent a letter to Shanghai in the early morning, saying that many soldiers of the Nationalist Army were missing, and asked Shanghai to allow the Nationalist Army to send people into Shanghai to search.

However, Chen Weihua did not expect the other side to agree, so after a delay of several hours, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the two regiments that had already been prepared were officially dispatched into the Shanghai area, while the other regiment, the 12th regiment, had already marched towards Suzhou in the morning.

The sudden appearance of the Nationalist Army in Shanghai made those people in Shanghai City Axe panic, and at first they thought it was a misunderstanding, so they hurriedly sent someone to explain what it was, saying that it was okay to come to search for missing soldiers, but you don't want to send thousands of troops directly, looking at this posture is not a search for missing soldiers but a war at all.

There was a mess on the Shanghai municipal axe, and Chen Qimei was also stunned after getting the news: "Damn, didn't this Chen Jingyun say that he wanted to fight with the Beiyang Army, what the hell is he doing in Shanghai!" ”

On the one hand, he concentrated his troops, and at the same time instructed his troops to exercise restraint and not to engage in exchanges of fire with the Nationalist army, and then he urgently sent telegrams to Sun Wen and Huang Xingpai, and then urgently sent telegrams to Hangzhou.

But as soon as he sent this telegram, the large force of the 1st Division of the Nationalist Army had already entered the city, and a small force of the Shanghai army tried to stop the advance of the Nationalist army, but the Nationalist army had already received an order to destroy the Shanghai army and merchant groups in Shanghai if they dared to resist. So the two sides just fought.

As the bullets flew, the mortars in the Nationalist army units also began to shoot, and within half an hour, the Shanghai army, which had more than 200 people, raised the white flag after suffering dozens of casualties.

Because of this example of resistance, the Nationalist Army quickly implemented the second set of plans, disarming the Shanghai army and the merchant groups, and exterminating those who were unwilling to surrender and surrender.

The merchant group in Shanghai was originally a security militia surnamed the troops, and it was good to maintain law and order in peacetime, but it was very reluctant for them to fight with the regular army, and they didn't even have a few cannons, so the armed surrender of this merchant group was very simple, and the national army had just entered Shanghai, and they didn't even resist and put down their guns and disarmed.

As for the Shanghai Army, it was originally a unit organized by Chen Qimei, but in fact, it was said to be an army, but it was also a combination of bandits and hooligans, and many of them were members of the Green Gang. Later, when Nanjing dismissed most of the troops, although many professional officers joined the Shanghai army, they did not fundamentally solve the problem of the low combat effectiveness of the Shanghai army.

At the beginning, Zhu Rui Zhejiang was able to rely on the superiority of troops to almost defeat the first division of the National Army, and even almost encircled and annihilated the 13th Regiment in formation. Later, in the battle of Guangzhou, although Long Jiguang's troops were worse, they were also entangled with the Nationalist Army for many days, and they were able to fight a regular night battle with the Nationalist Army, and finally the Third Division of the Nationalist Army was reinforced by the Guard Division Reinforcement Regiment, and defeated Long Jiguang's troops on the frontal battlefield with superior forces, which caused the whole line of the battle line to collapse. Although these two troops were defeated by the Nationalist Army, they were still regular troops, and they also engaged in large-scale offensive and defensive battles with the Nationalist Army, which also made the Nationalist Army suffer a lot and caused a lot of casualties to the Nationalist Army.

However, this Shanghai army is not a regular army at all, although there are more than 4,000 people and almost 5,000 people, but under all kinds of chaos, it has not even been supported for a day, and when it was dark on the 19th, the Shanghai army already had signs of collapse, and the next day, the Shanghai army completely disappeared.

Some surrendered to the Nationalist Army, some fled, and some took off their uniforms and turned themselves into ordinary people.

The last part is the navy, the navy has docked a lot of warships in Shanghai, in fact, Shanghai has become the main base of the navy since Xinhai, before the Haiqi, Haichou and other ships are anchored here, Haiqi and other ships went to Fuzhou, the size of the fleet here in Shanghai is still not small, Hairong, Haichen these two Haizi cruisers, Jiankang, Yuzhang and most of the gunboats are moored in Shanghai.

Due to the rapid progress of the Nationalist Army on land, the Navy has not yet reacted to the fact that Shanghai has been occupied by the Nationalist Army, and then most of the ships on the Navy's side can only leave Shanghai urgently, but at this time, Haiqi and Haiqiao and other ships also arrived in Shanghai and forced them to stop leaving, Sa Zhenbing asked them to surrender, and the Navy did not give an answer for the time being, so now the Navy is still in a stalemate, but the Navy can no longer affect the overall situation of Shanghai.

Seeing that the progress was going smoothly, on the morning of the 20th, Chen Weihua officially reported to Hangzhou: "Fortunately, our first division has taken control of Shanghai, and then our army will continue to go north!" ”

The movement of the Nationalist Army in Shanghai was too fast, so fast that it was almost the time for others to react, and a huge city was completely controlled by the Nationalist Army in just one day, and Sun Wen, who received Chen Qimei's telegram, was still preparing to go to Chen's Mansion to question Chen Jingyun.

"Zihua, what the hell is going on, why did the well-behaved National Army go to Shanghai, and the Shanghai Army was forcibly dismissed!" Sun Wen was a little angry at this time.

He had already come to see Chen Jingyun yesterday, and he didn't know that Chen Jingyun had ordered the national army to go north, and he also advised Chen Jingyun to exercise restraint and not to use the army's sharp weapons. At that time, Chen Jingyun just smiled and didn't say anything, but he didn't expect that the National Army would march into Shanghai that day, even if he went north, why didn't he go to Shanghai instead of fighting the Beiyang Army, which made Sun Wen unacceptable.

Chen Jingyun was still smiling: "Mr. Sun will do it first, drink tea, drink tea!" To be honest, I didn't know in advance, the cause was that some soldiers of our army were missing, so our army entered Shanghai to search, and there were some unpleasant clashes in the process, but Mr. Sun was relieved that most of the people were safe, except for a small number of people who intended to be unfavorable to our national army. ”

Chen Jingyun's explanation is also his explanation to the outside world: war needs an excuse, and it is better for his national army to enter other areas in southern Jiangsu, and it is not a big problem, but if he wants to march into Shanghai, because of the complicated relationship between the countries involved in Shanghai, the necessary excuse is still needed.

Strictly speaking, although the Nationalist Army had already moved north, the 2nd and 1st Divisions had entered southern Jiangsu respectively, and had even occupied Shanghai. However, the Nationalist Army did not declare war on the Beiyang Army or anything like that, and even although both sides have begun to act at present, both sides have invariably kept quiet at this critical moment, with no electricity, no public announcements and the like.

In this war, no one can afford to bear the accusations of the countrymen, and the motives of both sides are not very good, and both sides cannot find any good excuse to go to war, so since the excuse is not easy to find, just leave it alone, and talk about it after fighting, and say that it will work if you win, and it will be useless to say anything if you lose.
