Master Yuan, start!

"You...you are..."

"Who are we?" Yang Quyun glanced at Li Jingfang mercilessly, a sneer appearing beneath his mask.

"We? We are the Socialist-Revolutionary Party's anti-espionage squad!"

"Social...social revolution..." Li Jingfang's eyes widened, blood spitting out of his mouth, and he slurred his words: "Yuan...Yuan Xiangcheng, you ****"

Li Jingfang never expected that his retribution would come so quickly.

At this moment, feeling his vitality slipping away, he felt a little regretful and made a plan to assassinate Liu Bingzhang in Chongqing.

But it's too late to regret now.

After confirming that Li Jingfang had died, Yang Quyun saw that there was no one around, so he quickly took out a brush and wrote the words "Kill the traitors, the Honghuagang Patriotic Team" on the wall.

Then, he took advantage of the darkness and sneaked into the Honghuagang prison with his men.

On July 7, "Young Marshal" Li Jingfang was shot dead.

For a time, newspapers across China published the news of Li Jingfang's death.

The reputation of the Red Flower Gang heroes also became famous overnight.

Unlike the tragic 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang in the previous life, what Honghuagang in this time and space ushers in is not sacrifice, but a brighter era for revolutionary patriots!

Photo of Yang Quyun and Sun Yat-sen

At the request of readers, I have posted this early photo of Yeung Qu-yun and Sun Yat-sen for everyone to enjoy.

The third person standing in the second row from the left is Sun Yat-sen. At that time, he was not qualified to sit in the front row.

The person in the middle of the first row is a Japanese friend, and the second from the left is Yang Quyun.

The photo says Yang Quyun took a photo with Sun Yat-sen and Japanese patriots in the Wuxu year of Japan

The year of Wuxu was 1898, which means that even three years after the establishment of the "Xing Zhonghui" in Honolulu, Sun Yat-sen had still not become a backbone or leader among the revolutionaries.

That’s why I failed to take the center position in the group photo.

Chapter 389 All Quiet on the Western Front

On the eastern front in Jiangxi, the 6th, 7th, and 8th Divisions of the Jiangnan Military Region have already moved south from Jiujiang and arrived in De'an, Wucheng Town, and other places north of Xiushui, only about 200 miles from Nanchang.

The march was extremely fast, and all 77-8 county towns along the way surrendered at the sight of the enemy. The Lingnan New Army didn't even deploy any troops to defend there!

In Jiangning City, the person who took over from the old staff officer to explain the latest battle situation to Yuan Shikai in front of the map was Wu Peifu, a new graduate of the Incheon Military Academy and the front-line staff officer.

Wu Peifu was from Penglai, Shandong. After the establishment of the Yantai bonded area, his father went to the city to make a living, and he also went to school in Yantai with his father.

Later, his father died of illness. In order to supplement the family income, Wu Peifu was admitted to the Incheon Military Academy in Haidong Province as a cadet.

Yuan Shikai did not charge any fees for all students in the military academy. On the contrary, he took the initiative to subsidize their food, accommodation and tuition.

Students only need to graduate from one year of military school and then serve in the army for one year.

The "obligation" here is not the obligation of being a private, but the obligation of being a grassroots non-commissioned officer.

Yuan Shikai has established compulsory military service in the four provinces outside the Great Wall, and is gradually promoting it in the four provinces of Shanxi and the three provinces of East China.

For ordinary conscripts, only a small subsidy is needed.

However, technical workers or non-commissioned officers will still be given relatively reasonable salaries.

These students often study technical trades such as artillery and engineering, not infantry.

Students who graduate from military schools that have accepted the free education policy will not be paid during their one-year service period.

However, because the National Revolutionary Army has been fighting continuously in recent years and has won every battle, countless people have been promoted after joining the army.

Therefore, almost no one will choose to retire after one year of compulsory service, and most will continue to apply to stay in the army after one year.

Wu Peifu was very excited to be transferred from the front line to the headquarters to explain the current situation to the President.

He stood up straight, his face solemn and serious, and said: "Mr. President, in Jiangxi, Commander Feng is facing off with the Lingnan New Army across the river, and has used his artillery advantage to break the local spy several times.

In Zhejiang, Commander Cao Kun also led the 9th Division to rescue the people of Qiongzhou. [Repost: A detachment of troops headed west from Quzhou Prefecture, intending to break into Guangxin Prefecture in Jiangxi, creating a double-sided trap!]

"Hmm," Yuan Xiangcheng nodded as he looked at the map of China that covered the entire wall. Then he asked, "What about the Western Front?"

Wu Peifu hesitated and said, "There is no war on the Western Front."

After saying this, Wu Peifu lowered his head, which had been a little proud just now. However, he did not want to leave a bad impression in front of Yuan Xiangcheng, so he raised his head and explained:

“On the western front, the main issue was Zhang Zhidong’s unclear attitude.

After the 3rd and 4th Divisions of the Central Plains Military Region arrived in Xinyang, they wanted to use the Xin-Han Railway to move south, but were rejected by Zhang Zhidong.

The 5th Division in Nanyang wanted to go south along the Han River, but could not find a boat anywhere. After asking local people, they learned that the boat had been transferred to Wuchang by Zhang Zhidong on the pretext of transporting goods.

Generally speaking, due to the presence of the Hubei New Army on the western front, the National Revolutionary Army dared not move south freely, fearing that their retreat would be blocked.

If we rashly clash with the Hubei Army, we will probably be caught in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, and the eastern front troops in Jiangxi will also be in danger from behind."

Wu Peifu spoke in a respectful tone, with no intention of looking down on the people of the world.

Wu Peifu in this time and space, even though he graduated from the Incheon Military Academy with the highest overall level, was not as arrogant as in the original time and space.

The reason why he did not develop the arrogance of his original time and space was that the Qing Dynasty was gone before he passed the examination to become a scholar.

Therefore, after losing the title of "Scholar General", he was no different from other generals in the eyes of outsiders.

Yuan Xiangcheng looked at this young future star and asked:

"Which do you think is more important, a breakthrough on the Eastern Front or a breakthrough on the Western Front?"

"Perhaps... the Eastern Front is more important."

Wu Peifu thought for a moment and replied, "After all, Commander Feng's army is already approaching the front of Nanchang City, and Commander Cao is also providing support from the flanks."

"Yes, but not right either."

Yuan Xiangcheng nodded, then shook his head and said, "We all know it, so how could Li Hongzhang not know it?

The city of Nanchang is strong, and the enemy has sent heavy troops to defend it. Moreover, the weapons of the Lingnan New Army are not much worse than ours. When the main forces clash, the stalemate may last for some time.

On the contrary, on the western front, the situation in Hubei and Hunan seemed complicated, with many Hubei troops, Hunan militia, remnants of the Hunan Army, bandits and robbers, as well as a detachment of the Lingnan New Army.

But if you really count the days, as long as we can deal with the Hubei Army, the rest will not be a problem."

Yuan Xiangcheng said to Wu Peifu earnestly: "War is not only a military battle, but also a political battle.

Who is our mortal enemy?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Peifu quickly replied, "Li Hongzhang!"

"Yes, it's Li Hongzhang!"

Yuan Xiangcheng nodded and said, "So, apart from Li Hongzhang, all other people and other things can be put aside for now!"

"Mr. President, I understand!"

Wu Peifu raised his eyebrows and suddenly understood: "This is the theory of contradictions we learned in military political science class. Grasp the main contradiction and let go of the secondary contradictions!"

"Correct!"

Yuan Xiangcheng put down the intelligence, stroked his hand and praised: "Moreover, the terrain in Lingnan is rugged, and our army has a large proportion of artillery. 60mm light artillery is okay, but heavy artillery above 100mm is inconvenient to transport.

If we rely on breaking out along one route alone, there is a high possibility that our retreat will be cut off by the enemy, our supplies will be cut off, and we will become isolated.

Therefore, the two fronts should advance simultaneously, preferably when the troops are deployed in Chenzhou on the western front and Ganzhou on the eastern front, and then launch a general attack.

In this case, a breakthrough on the Western Front is extremely important!

...

Yuan Xiangcheng spent a lot of time on Wu Peifu today, which surprised Ming Ye who was standing beside him.

On weekdays, when front-line staff came to report, they always gave quick explanations, which never exceeded half an hour.

This time, he actually talked in front of the map for almost an hour.

Only after he had finished the pot of tea did Wu Peifu respectfully salute and bid farewell to Yuan Shikai.

Hearing this, Ming Ye scratched his head and said, "Chief Instructor, why did you think of scolding these new staff officers today?"

"After all, he is the best in the Incheon Military Academy. I want to test him a little bit." Yuan Xiangcheng took a sip of tea and said:

“It’s better to make a mistake in front of me than on the battlefield.

The reason why our National Revolutionary Army now seems to be invincible throughout the country is because the people's hearts, logistics and weapons are all at a level that is unique in the country.

Even the number of troops is the largest in the country.

But if we were to face the French, whose rifles have a longer range, more artillery, and naval gun support, without the advantage of artillery fire, would we still be able to win the battle so easily? "

Yuan Xiangcheng knew that the domestic warlords had never been his target.

His short-term goal was the British and French troops in the colonies, and his long-term goal was the British, French, German and Russian troops fighting on the home front.

Ten years ago, we were able to defeat the French because we had the advantages of people, location and timing.

The people of the whole country shared a common hatred of the enemy; the expeditionary navy landed in midsummer and went deep into the inland; friendly forces blocked the French in advance, and it was only then that Yuan Shikai came to complete the annihilation.

Eight years ago, we were able to expel the Japanese from Korea because we had the advantage of popular support and the people's hearts.

A year and a half ago, the navy was able to defeat the Russians in Heilongjiang because it took advantage of the earthquake and the personnel advantages of the Sino-Japanese joint fleet; the army took advantage of the geographical location and the personnel advantages of the people in Northeast China.

No matter how you look at it, in foreign wars, Yuan Shikai or his entire army has the advantage in three aspects: time, place, and people. He may have the advantage in four or two aspects.

Moreover, facing these expeditionary forces far away from the homeland, there was not much difference in our weapons and equipment.

However, one day, the Chinese army will have to break into the enemy's colony, face the gap in weapons, and fight when they do not have the advantage in two or even three aspects: time, place, and people.

Only then will the National Revolutionary Army be tested.

Chapter 390 The Escaped General

"boom!"

In front of Nanchang City, Wei Rugui, the commander of the 5th Regiment of the Lingnan New Army, stood on the city wall, watching the enemy's 90mm field artillery roaring one after another in the distance.

On the city wall, the artillery of the Lingnan New Army was not to be outdone and fought back fiercely, but the sound was much sparser than that of the National Revolutionary Army.

The number of cannons on a single wall of Nanchang City was less than that of a division of the National Revolutionary Army.

However, although Nanchang City is not as big as Beijing and Jiangning, its city walls are also built with rammed earth and bricks, with a height of 29 feet and a thickness of 21 feet.
