The Sun Never Sets Great China

After Zhang Huahan's observation, he found that the length of the Japanese army's quick-fire guns was relatively small, and it was not as good as the fast guns used in the Chinese Revolutionary Army. They were probably sold to them by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. What made Zhang Huahan depressed was that the Dutch and the British People dare to buy anything for money. The Japanese army with tens of thousands of flintlock guns is estimated to be able to defeat the Netherlands. Aren't they afraid of being backlashed by the Japanese?If he knew that the Dutch and the British had sold [-] flintlock guns to Japan, he wondered how Zhang Huahan would feel.

Although the equipment of the Japanese army is slightly inferior to that of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, after all, their number is larger than that of the Chinese Revolutionary Army on this battlefield. The number of Japanese troops who successfully landed is almost 9 to 10. Of course, many Japanese soldiers died It is impossible to know whether the Japanese army mobilized [-] people Zhang Huahan, but the number of Japanese troops is one and a half times the number of the Chinese Revolutionary Army under Zhang Huahan's command, so Zhang Huahan has to be more careful.

He decided to defend on the spot, relying on the long trench dug out of the position and the cannon transported with the [-] small boat fleet, firmly defending here, blocking the way of the Japanese army, until Mo Xiao, the commander of the first division, Zhang Huahan didn't know that the sixty ships were here to transport the cannon. The reason why he didn't know until now was that Zhou Manwen, Huang Ziya's aide, was making trouble. Zhang Huahan knew that his special investigation team belonged to an abnormal organization, and Zhou Manwen It also holds certain abnormal rights, which may be checks and balances.

But Zhang Huahan is very dissatisfied with this incident. No matter how much trouble you make, it will definitely not affect the military situation. If you don't know the support of the artillery, you can't make the next defense preparations. Any resources on the battlefield need to be used. What's more, that Zhou Manwen has been dragging his feet in all aspects. On the battlefield, a little negligence and carelessness may cause failure. Zhang Huahan will never tolerate such a thing. He has already sent someone to ask Wang Xiaolong to talk to Huang Ziya. If this time If Huang Ziya doesn't give him an explanation, he is absolutely unwilling to give up. This time Zhou Manwen can hold back, and next time he may be able to cut off the supplies of the army he leads. He has already decided that if Huang Ziya does not express his position this time, he does not mind using it. More violent methods to deal with Zhou Manwen.

However, maybe Huang Ziya knew that Zhang Huahan was angry. He knew that Zhang Huahan was usually not angry, but once his bottom line was touched, Zhang Huahan would never let go of the person who touched his bottom line, so Huang Ziya's letter was urgently delivered to Zhang Huahan at night. Come here, Huang Ziya wrote in the letter saying that after Wang Xiaolong told him the whole story, he already knew what Zhou Manwen did, and he wanted to deal with Zhou Manwen seriously, directly deprive Zhou Manwen of all the special rights in his hands, give him a warning, and fine him a one-year salary .

Zhang Huahan was quite satisfied with this solution. He knew that Zhou Manwen was Huang Ziya's top chief aide, and he would not conflict if he could not conflict. I know very well that if you deprive it, you may get it back at any time. Politics is the same thing, but no matter how much Zhou Manwen makes a fuss, he is just a small fish. As long as he does not hinder Zhang Huahan's major events, he will not go Mind, because even if Zhou Manwen is killed, there will be Li Manwen, Zhang Manwen and so on, politics!Always focus on rights.

Now Zhang Huahan is still worried that the Japanese army will go upstream from the Yangtze River and attack Nanjing. Although Nanjing's city defenses have been deployed, Zhang Huahan is unwilling to let the Japanese army approach the city. Moreover, the information in his hand reminds him that he must never let the Japanese army approach. Nanjing.Therefore, he also believed that while holding on to this place, he should wait for the militia armed forces from other places to support him, and then take the initiative to launch a general attack on the Japanese army when the time is right, and wipe out all the Japanese troops in one fell swoop.

For Zhang Huahan's decision, Li Gaoshun, the commander of the First Division and the First Brigade, and others did not understand. They believed that the purpose of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to prevent the enemy from going up the Yangtze River had been achieved. The defense of Nanjing City is strong, so instead of fighting the Japanese army here, it is better to let the Japanese army re-board the ship. When they attack Nanjing and fail, the Chinese Revolutionary Army will rush to Nanjing again, and together with the defenders of Nanjing City, the Japanese army will be completely wiped out. Under the city of Nanjing.

During the war in the Chinese Revolutionary Army, all the generals expressed their opinions in a relaxed environment. Zhang Huahan established a rule in the army since the establishment of the National Guard, that is, before the order is issued, all generals can speak freely. You can speak out your thoughts, even if the supreme commander disagrees, you can argue for it. Of course, once an order is issued, any order must be obeyed unconditionally.

Therefore, Li Gaoshun, the brigade commander of the first division and the first brigade, expressed his opinion unceremoniously. He pointed to the map on the table and said: "Please look, deputy commander, the distribution map of Nanjing's troops on this table is just sent by your subordinates." Yes, today's Nanjing City can be said to be impenetrable. Let alone 50 enemy troops, it is impossible for [-] enemy troops to break through Nanjing City within three months. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better to let Shi Lang's fleet get out of the way , Let the enemy troops pass, and then we close the door and beat the dogs."

Unlike Li Gaoshun, the brigade commander of the first division and first brigade, Mo Xiao, the division commander, thought of another possibility. He said: "Brigadier Li's idea is wishful thinking. In fact, the reason why the enemy army wants to land directly near Nanjing is because They just wanted to attack Nanjing by surprise, and now they have fought our army, and when they realize that our army is prepared, it should be time for them to retreat in spite of difficulties." He turned his head to look at Zhang Huahan, and said, "Deputy Commander, in fact, I I also think that we should stay here and not take the initiative to attack the enemy, because the enemy has twice the number of our army, and our army will be more secure in defending here."

Pan Hongtu, the top general of the Marine Corps, also echoed: "Yes, I also think that instead of engaging in a field battle with the enemy here with heavy casualties, it is better to retreat to the south first, and wait for the enemy to attack Nanjing for a long time. The exhausted enemy army under the city launched a fierce attack and wiped them out under the city of Nanjing. Besides, the deputy commander said before that the elite militia had already gone north to attack the cities occupied by the Manchu Tartars in Henan and other places. The combat effectiveness of the militia is extremely poor, and I am afraid they cannot assist our regular army in a decisive battle with the enemy here. Of course, Brother Mo Xiao is also right, now that the enemy knows that our army is prepared, they may take the initiative to withdraw their troops. Come on, our army won’t have to fight hard with them.”

Zhang Huahan shook his head and said: "I understand all these reasons, but now I can't fight like this, because the situation no longer allows me to fight like this." Mo Xiao's heart moved, and he asked: "Could it be that the enemy has changed?" Zhang Huahan Passed a note in his sleeve to Mo Xiao, and said: "This is the news I just received, take a look." Mo Xiao took the note, glanced at it, and suddenly raised his head with surprise on his face His face changed, and his voice changed a little. He exclaimed, "Is this true?"

Pan Hongtu, the top general of the Marine Corps, knew that what was written on the note was not trivial. After he asked Zhang Huahan for permission, he took the note from Mo Xiao and read it. After reading it, his expression also changed. Said: "This... this... this Li Huaifang is like a pig and a dog, but is he really so bold?"

Zhang Huahan nodded and said: "This matter can never be false! My subordinates have interrogated the captured Englishman John and the Japanese over and over again. Some things that happened in Li Huaifang’s army, I think it is very possible that he has already colluded with the Japanese. They want to destroy the headquarters of our Chinese Revolutionary Army in one fell swoop, and divide the river with the Manchu Manchus to stand on our own. Now the rights of our Chinese Revolutionary Army The organization is leaning towards Nanjing, and soon, Nanjing will become our headquarters, and this news comes very timely." The note was passed around among the people in the tent, and soon they all knew of Li Huaifang's conspiracy, and everyone There was worry on everyone's face.All the people here are old people from the Chinese Revolutionary Army. After the special investigation team’s open and unannounced visits, these people have no problem with their loyalty to the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and all the current circumstances must make these generals who are the only main force in this area Know, that's why Zhang Huahan told them the information.

Yao Zhenxing, the commander of the fourth brigade who had been standing silently by the side, finally spoke up, and said: "Then Li Huaifang, the general of the Manchu Tartars, secretly colluded with Dongpu and conspired with us in Huaxia, he really deserves to die! He took a step towards Zhang Huahan, and said: "If the deputy commander can trust Yao, then send me back to Nanjing, and I will expose Li Huaifang's spy tricks!" Use things. If Li Huaifang's spies know that the plot has been revealed, it is very likely that they will jump the wall and cooperate with Li Huaifang's army to launch an attack in Nanjing. If that happens, our army's rear will be unstable, and the enemy will have an opportunity. Therefore, this matter must not be reckless, and must be handled with care." He asked, "But I don't know how the deputy commander will handle this matter? Will you report to Commander Huang Ziya?"

Pan Hongtu, captain of the Second Fleet of the Marine Corps, said: "Commander Mo is right, this matter should not be reckless. Commander Huang trusts some people very much, and his methods are indecisive, which may cause the people under him to be less self-disciplined. He will use some extraordinary means, and if he is reported to know about it, then he will probably ignore it, and maybe he will tell some people that he knows about it. In this way, not only will it not be effective, but I am afraid it will still scare the snake." Pan Hongtu is Zhang Huahan's Comrade-in-arms and friend, he has always been unfazed by Huang Ziya, and the estimation of the audience is that he can directly say these words that are somewhat dissatisfied with Huang Ziya. When other people hear it, although they know what he said in their hearts, they don't say anything. Only Mo Xiao, who had followed Zhang Huahan for many years and was quite senior, dared to nod in agreement.

Zhang Huahan nodded and said, "Don't slander Commander Huang, but what you said is right, and I think so too. And I don't know if anyone else in Nanjing is Li Huaifang's accomplice, so this matter You must be very careful." Mo Xiao saw that Zhang Huahan didn't look worried, and his handsome face was still smiling, and he asked: "Looking at the appearance of the deputy commander, it seems that there is already a solution?" Zhang Huahan nodded and said : "As the saying goes, 'Capture the thief before capturing the king', as long as the person inside Li Huaifang is removed, then his army will not be afraid of making trouble. I just thought of a way, although this method is a bit risky, and the chance of winning is only [-]%, but it is still possible. That's the only way to go. Moreover, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, I decided to cut it first and play it later, and I will not notify anyone first." After all, his method might disgust Huang Ziya, but he had to use it, so he didn't want to tell the generals present.

"Report!" A guard's voice came from outside the tent, interrupting everyone's conversation.Zhang Huahan immediately ordered the guard to enter the account, and the guard reported: "Report! Just now the deputy commander asked Bi to go down to contact Shi Lang's troops, and Bi has already sent the general's information. Now Shi Lang sent someone to come and say he wants to negotiate with the deputy commander. Fight tomorrow." Then the guards led the person in, but it was Na Hai Dafu.Hai Dafu was quite miserable, his head was covered with bandages, his arms were also covered with bandages, and his face looked haggard and pale.The affairs of the navy have nothing to do with everyone. Even Pan Hongtu, the captain of the second fleet of the navy, can only lead the marines to fight land battles because his main fleet is escorting merchant ships at sea. There is no need for him to listen and he left , everyone withdrew one after another, leaving only Zhang Huahan and Hai Dafu.

Zhang Huahan brought a chair for Hai Dafu himself, and then talked with him about the battle situation during the day.Zhang Huahan asked: "I don't know how much the navy lost, can we continue to fight?" Hai Dafu sighed, and said: "To tell the truth, the deputy commander, the battle during the day was very intense, so the warships that the Dutch came this time are all large ships. It is quite different from the Dutch ships we fought with the Zheng family in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. These large ships not only have taller hulls and faster speeds, but also have many cannons on them, and they are very advanced and powerful. I don’t know about others. I alone saw no less than ten large ships with hundreds of guns, and it seemed that the Dutch must have sent a fleet from their own country, and these ships could not have come from Batavia."

"Oh?" Zhang Huahan doesn't understand naval warfare. The last time he fought with the navy was basically a display. Although he also wrote some learning materials and training methods in the navy crash course, knowing it is one thing and knowing how to use it is another something happened.

Originally, Zhang Huahan thought that Shi Lang and the others had fought against the Dutch before and robbed many of their ships. There should be no major problems in this battle. Unexpectedly, it was the first time they had encountered the main force of the Dutch battle fleet. He pondered for a moment and asked : "What about the naval losses?"

Hai Dafu said with a bitter face: "Our navy originally mobilized more than 600 large and small warships in the Yangtze River, but after this battle, we lost more than 200 ships at once, and even my battleship 'Ji Hai' was burned. The attack ship was blown up, and although most of the losses were small boats, the casualties of the brothers were also heavy, and Captain Shi Lang and the others are still counting the losses, and the exact number will only be known later." Zhang Huahan asked: "Well, how many ships did the Dutch lose?"

Hai Dafu said: "The Dutch fleet is divided into two teams of warships and baggage ships. Their warship fleet did not suffer much. About forty of them were destroyed and sunk by us. Of course, it seems that the numbers are not proportional, but their They are all main ships, we have taken advantage of them, but their baggage fleet has suffered a lot, because their baggage ships carry infantry, so there are few cannons on board, we rushed up and beat them hard, and sank them Quite a lot, and it looks like we’ll lose [-]% of it anyway.” Speaking of this, he suddenly became a little excited, and he said, “There’s one more thing, we captured the Dutch flagship.” “Oh?” Zhang Huahan was a little surprised, he Asked further: "Has the leader of the enemy's fleet been captured?"

Hai Dafu shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, he was allowed to run away. Moreover, he turned around and took twenty warships with him, and punched the flagship captured by us with thousands of windows and holes. That boat was pulled down from the sandbar to join the battle, but it’s not working now, if that boat is repaired, it will take ten days and half a month to complete.” Zhang Huahan admired the bravery of the navy fleet, and he wanted to know more Who captured the flagship of the Dutchman asked, "I don't know who captured the flagship?"

Hearing this sentence, Hai Dafu frowned and said: "It's hard to say, Hao Junjie was the first to go up, but later he left the boat and went downstream to support me. They were robbed by Zeng De's people, so now they are still arguing with General Shi Lang! But although Zeng De was brought by General Shi Lang himself, when I left, I heard General Shi Lang scolding him Well, if you think about it, the general will not favor him!" Everyone knows the virtues of Zeng De who defected from the Zheng family. How about it, but he is also a veteran in naval battles, so if he can't use it, then it depends on how Shi Lang manipulates him. It seems that Shi Lang is also worried about this person, and specially pulls him under his nose, fearing that he will do something harmful. The destruction of the interests of the Chinese Revolutionary Army.Nodding thoughtfully, Zhang Huahan murmured, "Then can you continue fighting tomorrow?"

"No problem!" Hai Dafu stood up from his chair and said loudly, "We must avenge our brothers who died. Naturally, we will follow General Shi Lang closely! Just wait for the dawn tomorrow. Our army can launch an attack on the Dutch fleet. General Shi Lang will personally lead most of the warships to face the Dutch warships, and I will lead the remaining warships to continue attacking the Dutch fleet. Although our warships have more firepower than But the warships of the Dutch, but we have a large number, and their firepower is stronger than their supply ships, we only need to tightly entangle them, and then we can drag them down!"

Zhang Huahan thought it was irrational for Shi Lang to continue to fight head-on with the Dutch battle fleet so hastily, and he was a veteran of the navy, so he said: "I don't think this is appropriate. In today's battle, the Dutch were killed because of the heavy fleet You surrounded the onslaught, so that they had to rescue the supply fleet, and had no time to fight you, but now the Dutch supply fleet has laid down the infantry on board, and assembled together, concentrated the cannon on a few ships, while the others The ship is close to the shore and is specially protected by some warships, so if we face the unencumbered Dutch battle fleet tomorrow, our navy may suffer a lot of losses. So I think the navy does not need to fight tomorrow, just It is enough to guard the upper reaches and prevent them from breaking through the defense line and approaching Nanjing."
