In Hangzhou, Lu Yongxiang used a violent method to suppress Adjutant He's faction. For a moment, the entire Zhejiang Army was in a state of panic. Lu Yongxiang also increased the number of guards in Jinhua and Xin 'anjiang!
The 3rd and 4th Mixed Regiments of the Zhe Faction, with 15,000 soldiers, were stationed at Xin 'anjiang's defensive line. The 7th and 8th Mixed Regiments of the Zhe Faction were stationed at Jinhua to defend against the invasion from Quzhou.
In the command center of the Zhejiang Division, because of the death of Adjutant He, Lu Yongxiang had promoted a group of middle-level officers. Now, the entire Zhejiang Division was under Lu Yongxiang's command.
"Marshal, why are you so anxious to mobilize troops in Jinhua and Xin 'an River?？”
The 50,000 soldiers of the Zhe faction were made up of two infantry divisions and four infantry brigades, making a total of eight infantry brigades. One of them was Chen Changchang, who had become Lu Yongxiang's absolute confidant.
"Marshal, Chu Tianyun wouldn't have the guts to attack our Zhe Army, would he?”
"Chu Tianyun only has two infantry brigades. If we really fight, we'll swallow his Quzhou and unify Zhejiang!!”
Lu Yongxiang knocked on the table, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
"I don't know if Little Chu has the guts or not, but after this incident, the people of our Zhejiang Province are already somewhat scattered. It's always a good thing to make more preparations at this time. I, Lu Yongxiang, am old and don't want to do anything big. The Central Committee gave me the title of Patrol Inspector of the three Southeast provinces only to maintain the balance of the situation. Everyone here was personally promoted by me, Lu Yongxiang. I hope that I can continue to see this Zhejiang Province army in my lifetime. We can stabilize Zhejiang!"
These words moved all the generals present. Lu Yongxiang, this old bag of bones, was here to play the emotional card.
In the southwest of Zhejiang, due to the large-scale road construction in Quzhou, the speed of the infantry brigade to Xin 'anjiang and Jinhua was also very fast.
Yao Dali's Heavy Artillery Regiment had a total of 36 100mm heavy cannons. Once they encountered the artillery of the Zhejiang Army, these 100mm heavy cannons would give the Zhejiang Army an unforgettable memory.
In order to improve the communication capabilities of the battlefield, Chu Tianyun spent a lot of money to get a batch of radio communication equipment from the Americans. At the same time, he built a radio signal conversion station on the top of the mountain near the original horizontal weir. This radio station would be directly requisitioned as a military radio station.
Lu Yongxiang had the initiative in the radio equipment in Zhejiang. Therefore, the necessary military radio would bring the greatest advantage to the Renaissance Army in this war. They could even monitor the telegrams and military orders within the Zhejiang Army.
The Renaissance Army's wireless telegraphs had already been allocated to regimental troops. The next round would be to continue expanding them to battalion troops.
At around five in the afternoon, Song Fei's 1st Brigade and Zhu Zhiwen's 2nd Brigade were both close to Jinhua and Xin 'anjiang. Each infantry brigade was an independent combat force with three infantry regiments and nine infantry battalions under their jurisdiction. At the same time, the brigade level was directly under the Mountain Cannon Battalion and the brigade level was directly under the Heavy Machine Gun Battalion. They were both important weapons for the Renaissance Army.
The battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st regiment, Cui Tian, was located in the southernmost part of the entire infantry brigade. This place was called Shanwu, and it was a big stream.
Not far away, they could already see the Zhejiang Army on the opposite side. White smoke had already risen from the military camp not far away. It seemed that they were preparing for dinner.
"Wang Xiao Er! Have you figured out the situation of the opposing troops?”
"Battalion Commander, the enemy is the 7th and 8th Mixed Brigade of the Zhejiang Army. They have about 15,000 soldiers, and their main firepower is Maxim machine guns and 75mm mountain cannons!”
Wang Xiao Er, the scout of the 3rd Battalion, specialized in gathering intelligence. This kid must have gotten the information from the Zhe Army.
"How about this, Wang Xiao Er, go to the regiment headquarters immediately and tell the regiment commander this news. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!!”
That Wang Xiao Er looked like a ghost, he kept smiling like a fool.
"Motherf * cker, isn't it just a bag of big front doors? Would I not give it to you?"
"Alright, Battalion Commander!"
Not far away, there was a ravine. Many yellow leaves had fallen into it, and there was a corrosive smell in the air.
Song Fei's brigade command center was built in the middle of a mountain. There was a cave there, so it was very safe.
"Brigadier General, the First Regiment has sent a telegram regarding Jinhua City's garrison!”
Song Feijian was discussing with the brigade commander on how to break through Jinhua City when someone sent him a pillow.
"Go ahead. Other than Deputy Commander He, who graduated from the Yunnan Military Academy, the rest of the Zhejiang Army are all bumpkins. We have all been personally trained by the marshal!!”
Song Feijian's words made everyone in the brigade department laugh. Indeed, in this era, anyone could wear a military uniform and become the leader of an army. Without the country in chaos, modern military schools could not recruit students on a large scale.
Things like the Yunnan Military Academy, Baoding Military Academy, and Fuzhou Ship Administration Academy were all controlled by some warlords. There were still some restrictions if they wanted to open them to the general public.
"Brigadier general, the defense force of Jinhua County is the 7th and 8th Infantry Brigades of the Zhejiang Army. There are 20 75mm Mountain Cannons, 15 Maxim Heavy Machine Guns, and less than 10,000 rifles of various models. In other words, the two Infantry Brigades on the other side do not even have one rifle per person!!”
"With the firepower of the 1st Infantry Brigade, we can completely suppress the 2 infantry brigades of the Zhe Division!”
"The artillery unit of the Zhejiang faction only has 75mm mountain cannons, while our 1st regiment has 40mm grenade launchers, 50mm mortars, and a brigade-level 75mm rapid-fire mountain cannon battalion. At the same time, the military has split up a 36-gun heavy artillery regiment from the Renaissance Army, and our 1st regiment has added another 18 100mm heavy cannons!!!”
"Brigadier General, other than the difference in numbers, we also have more heavy machine guns than the Zhejiang troops. Therefore, victory will definitely belong to our Renaissance Army!!”
Song Feijian never thought that the Renaissance Army, which had such heavy firepower, would not be able to defeat the Zhejiang army. If it was not for the fact that Quzhou's current main development direction was the economy, perhaps Chu Tianyun would really be militaristic and take down the entire Zhejiang!
Food had to be eaten one bite at a time, and the army had to be built step by step. Although it was easy to understand the principle of biting off more than one could chew, how many people could control the greed in their hearts when they really did it?| Desire!
