In May 1922, when all the forces in the north and south of China were focused on the Zhifeng War in the north, no one paid attention to the small warlord in the northeast of Jiangxi who launched a so-called war to unify the northeast of Ganbei.
At midnight on the 2nd day of the 5th month, Jiangxi Province's Military Governor's Office, Yang Zhanshan's troops, and the Guardian's Office of Shang Rao all received a letter from the coalition government to attack.
In the crusade, Su Zhenze's coalition government strongly criticized Yang Zhanshan and Guardian Shang Rao, Wang Yufeng, for their perverse actions and causing public outrage. Such a government should have been overthrown long ago. They then said that the coalition government complied with the will of the people and represented the vast majority of the people to eradicate the two opposing governments!
Before they could react, the artillery fire from the northern and western armies came at the same time as the attack. It officially announced the start of the coalition government's two-pronged battle!
At the frontline command center of the West Army, Wang Yongxiang was holding a telescope and observing the situation of the war. He could change the enemy's strategy at any time. The rest of the people in the command room were constantly receiving information from the front line.
"Regiment Commander Chen, yes, your artillery regiment will fire fiercely at the enemy's opening and try to blast a hole for me as soon as possible!”
"Also, don't hide it anymore. Pull up your 95mm cannons. As long as we conquer Shangrao County, I, Wang Yongxiang, will be the first to ask the leader for credit!”
At a certain moment, Wang Yongxiang picked up the phone beside him and gave an order to Chen Jinyuan, the commander of the 7th Artillery Regiment. Taking down the enemy's center of power as soon as possible would definitely break the enemy's fighting spirit. Moreover, they could quickly build fortifications and wait for the enemy to recover Shangrao.
Shang Rao was Wang Yu Feng's base camp, and the surrounding counties were all surrounding Shang Rao County. There were also a large number of troops stationed there. It could be said that the battle of the west army had caught Guardian Shang Rao off guard. As soon as the call to arms arrived, artillery fire followed.
The battle of the west army had to first conquer the important town of Shangrao, and it had to be fast. They had to finish the battle before the reinforcements from the nearby counties arrived. Then, the battle of the west army could be said to be defending Shangrao and eliminating the reinforcements. It could be said that the war of the west was over. According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the remaining garrison forces of the enemy counties were only a few security regiments. They did not have much combat strength and were not worth worrying about!
As for the Yingtan, Geixi, and Gushan counties that were under the Shangrao Guardian's jurisdiction, they were only occupied by some bandits and small warlords. Any random regiment would be enough to pacify them!
Wang Yongxiang was very clear about this. Shang Raoke was tied, so he called the artillery regiment over the phone to bring out all their strength and not hold back anymore. He knew that the arsenal had already produced some samples of the 95mm mountain cannon. The power of these cannons was much greater than the 75mm cannon. It could be said to be a weapon of war! A siege weapon!
On the other side, in the Guardian's Residence of Shang Rao, Wang Yu Feng had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by his adjutant. He looked at the telegram in his adjutant's hand with a resentful expression. He took it and scanned it. He was immediately furious. A small coalition government actually dared to issue a punitive order to the Guardian of Shang Rao. Who did he think he was! Do you really think I'm a sick cat when a tiger doesn't show its might?
He was just about to call the adjutant to inform the people for a meeting and prepare to send troops to destroy this unknown coalition government. Just as he was about to speak, there was a loud explosion and flames soared into the sky. It was so dazzling in this quiet and dark night! He immediately realized that someone had come to attack the city, and this person was most likely the coalition government's army that had just issued the denunciation!
"Damn it! He's really not loyal!"
Wang Yu Feng cursed under his breath. He picked up the military uniform handed over by the adjutant and put it on as he walked. He also instructed the adjutant to gather everyone to defend the city.
Under the command of the Guardian, the army in the city quickly defended in an orderly manner and entered their designated positions.
In the beginning, everyone was under the sparse gunfire of the enemy and a few artillery shots that were not accurate. They were also under fierce artillery fire and a rain of bullets. Everyone thought that the enemy was only so-so. They thought that they were dreaming if they attacked the county with just a few lousy guns! I'll let you have a taste of the real cannon fire!
But soon, they could no longer smile. After they retaliated fiercely, the enemy's fangs were quickly revealed.
bang
The enemy's artillery fire soon covered their heavy weapons and artillery positions. Round after round of artillery fire covered the entire area, but they could only watch this scene. In just a few breaths, they were completely destroyed!
"Idiots, they're all a bunch of idiots!"
"Damn it, who told them to open fire! The enemy is testing their firepower!"
Seeing his artillery battalion and heavy machine gun company completely wiped out, this was the accumulation of several years, spending a lot of money to accumulate the family property! It was gone just like that. He was so angry that he cursed!
However, he had never thought that the enemy's fierce artillery fire was completely incomparable to his artillery battalion. Why did the enemy have such offensive artillery fire?
Before he could calm down, another round of bombing began. After the enemy destroyed the artillery battalion and heavy machine gun company in Shangrao County, they bombarded the city wall indiscriminately. They completely beat up their own side, unable to raise their heads at all.
" Hide…Be careful to hide!"
Seeing this, Wang Yu Feng immediately gave the order to defend. Then, seeing that a new round of artillery fire was about to arrive, he quickly found a cover to hide when he saw that the situation was not good.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang bang bang!
After a few rounds, everyone was familiar with the pattern of the artillery fire. As long as they hid well, they would be fine. The enemy's artillery fire could not destroy the city wall in a short period of time.
"Motherf * cker, hurry up and get the troops from Hengfeng and Qianshan to come back as reinforcements. Otherwise, I will be defeated sooner or later!”
"Yes, Marshal!"
Seeing the enemy's continuous artillery fire, Wang Yu Feng seemed a little anxious. He quickly called the troops stationed around Shangrao to protect Shangrao, or else there would be changes!
"Brothers, see that! If the enemy can't fire, we'll counterattack!”
"Shoot!"
At the same time, Wang Yu Feng also encouraged his troops to start counterattacking. They wanted to resist for a while longer to defend and reinforce the enemy, while also exhausting the enemy's effective strength!
However, his thoughts were immediately dashed. As long as anyone dared to show their heads, the heavy machine guns and sharpshooters outside would aim at them. Everyone could only obediently stay under cover and endure the incessant whistling of artillery fire and gunfire!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang bang bang!
The sound of an even louder explosion rang out, meaning that even larger cannons had been thrown into the battlefield. The group of defenders hid even deeper, afraid that such artillery would explode around them.
However, they quickly reacted and realized that these large cannons seemed to only focus their fire on the somewhat broken city walls. They did not attack the defenders, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Wang Yu Feng had just heaved a sigh of relief, but he immediately reacted. The other side was going to break through the city! Thinking of this, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. He hurriedly wanted to stop her, but he realized that it was already too late!
Because the city had been breached, the enemy had already issued a charge signal. A dense crowd had already rushed into the city wall through the gap. The sounds of battle cries, the sounds of charging, the sounds of surrender, and the sounds of scattering. The defenders were completely no match for them, and the great defeat had begun. All the sounds resounded around Wang Yu Feng. With a thud, he sat on the ground, looking dejected. He completely lost the arrogance that the Guardian had in the past.
"It's over, it's all over!"
"Marshal, quickly retreat! It looks like Shangrao can't be defended anymore. Let's quickly go and meet up with the reinforcements from the other two places. When the time comes, we can fight back and make a comeback!”
Wang Yu Feng, who still had a gloomy look on his face, immediately regained his spirits when he heard the adjutant's words.
"That's right! Let's go!"
"Let's go…"
He turned back to look at Shangrao, which he had run for many years, and said with unwillingness and resentment.
"I, Wang Yu Feng, will be back!"
But could he still leave?
