Actually, when Song Yibei sent troops to Guangzhou, Chen Jitang had already received the news.
Chen Jitang also reacted quickly and immediately mobilized three armies to fight.
In his opinion, wouldn't it be easy for three armies of 150,000 people to take care of Song Yibei's 30,000 people?
However, what they did not expect was that Chen Jitang's army was at a disadvantage the moment the two sides fought!
Just the machine guns of an independent army division were enough to deal with Chen Jitang.
Ever since the independent army could produce firearms, Song Yibei gave each squad a machine gun. A division had about 300 machine guns.
The firepower of 300 machine guns was so fierce that Chen Jitang's troops could not withstand it.
"Commander, their firepower is too fierce. We can't break through their defense line at all!”The 61st Division's 1st Division Commander Chu Yang, 2nd Division Commander Zhang Yang, and 3rd Division Commander Wang Peng reported.
"No matter how fierce the enemy's firepower is, your army can't even break through the defense line of an enemy division.”
The commander of the 61st Division, Zhang Da, looked at the three division commanders angrily.
"Commander, the Independent Army has 300 machine guns in one division, and their rifles can fire consecutive bullets. If we charge forcefully, the casualties will be unpredictable.”
Chu Yang looked at Zhang Da, unconvinced.
It's easy to say!
If you're so capable, why don't you go to the front line to command the battle?
Although Chen Jitang had a lot of people, there were many factions within them, which was very complicated. This was also the reason why they failed to oppose Jiang.
In 1936, Chen Jitang formed an army of 250,000 and became the commander-in-chief of the anti-Jiang rebellion. Li and Bai of the Gui Faction formed 200,000 troops. Together with the other allied forces, a 700,000-strong army confidently began the anti-Jiang rebellion.
He had thought that it was a king tier, but he did not expect it to be a bronze tier!
In the face of all kinds of unscrupulous enemies, Old Jiang had a common killer move, which was to launch a " silver bullet " to bribe Chen Jitang's soldiers. As a result, the Guangdong generals defected one after another. Chen Jitang's Air Force Commander even led 72 large and small planes to fly to Jinling.
Chen Jitang was famous for his powerful air force, but now he had lost all his planes!
In fact, many people were curious as to why Chen Jitang was so confident in opposing Jiang.
And he was so impatient?
In fact, Chen Jitang and his fifth brother, Chen Weizhou, were superstitious about fate and favored a Jianghu magician named Weng Banxuan. Whenever Chen Jitang wanted to appoint an important position in the province, Chen Weizhou would ask Weng Banxuan to read the person's fortune. Only if Weng Banxuan thought it was good would he be appointed.
The reason why he was so impatient was because he believed in the charlatan.
In fact, Chen Jitang was worlds apart from Old Jiang in terms of winning over people's hearts.
This was the main reason why he lost the war.
If his men had changed sides on the spot, Old Jiang might really have been overthrown.
At that time, Old Jiang's main force was fighting outside and could not be transferred back at all. Otherwise, he would not have used money to bribe Chen Jitang's subordinates.
With the strength of the Central Army, it was more than enough to deal with the temporary army formed by Chen Jitang and the Gui Faction.
……
Looking at the gloating 3rd Corps Commander Yang Jing and 4th Corps Commander Huang Ren, Zhang Da felt embarrassed.
"I don't care what the reason is. Before tonight, you must take down the enemy's first line of defense. Otherwise, you three can forget about being commanders.”Zhang Da reprimanded.
Chu Yang, Zhang Yang, and Wang Peng also rushed out of the tent and went to the front line.
"Commander, we can't go on like this. The 1st Regiment lost 423 people, the 2nd Regiment lost 532, and the 3rd Regiment lost 547!”
"If this continues, our brothers from the 1st Division will be wiped out!”The 62nd Division's 1st Division Chief of Staff Huang Yu reported excitedly.
"Commander, our 2nd division is the same. We only have 8000 men, and we haven't even broken through the first line of defense.”
"Our 3rd division is the same. If we don't think of a way, our brothers will have strange thoughts!”
The Chief of Staff of the Third Division did not say it explicitly, but everyone knew what he meant.
It was not like there were no precedents before.
Chu Yang, Zhang Yang, and Wang Peng were also helpless against such a situation!
"Commander, let the artillery battalion and machine gun company cover us. If we can't break through the enemy's defense line, we won't be able to do anything!”The Chief of Staff of the First Division, Huang Yu, looked at Chu Yang and said.
"This is the only way!"
"Old Zhang, Old Wang, our three artillery battalions will work together.”
"Alright then! This is the only way!"
Although they were called artillery battalions, each battalion only had five mountain cannons, and they were the oldest 75mm mountain cannons. There weren't many shells, which was why they were unwilling to send the artillery battalions out to fight…
