The first great victory of the Northern Expedition: Wu Peifu's army was dumbfounded to see the Northern Expeditionary Army.'s military appearance
Text/No Counting Reading History
The Qing Dynasty was overthrown, Sun Yat-sen held aloft the torch of the "Three People's Principles", and had just seen the fruits of victory, but there were few guns in his hands, and the fruits of the revolution were stolen by Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai ascended to the throne, and the warlord civil strife in Chinese mainland officially began.
01 Beginnings
The warlords' civil strife has made the Chinese people even more miserable, and years of war have led to no harvest and displacement of the people.
At this time, Mr. Zhongshan began to establish the Whampoa Military Academy and went to various places to collect donations, so as to make his hands have strength.
In 1925, Mr. Nakayama died unexpectedly.
By 1926, the Northern Expeditionary Army had grown in strength, and in July, the Northern Expeditionary Army began their journey.
02 Attack
The first target of the Northern Expeditionary Army was Changsha, because the conflict between Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu provided a good opportunity for the Northern Expeditionary Army to attack Hunan.
The soldiers divided into three ways and began to run toward Changsha.
The first shot of the Northern Expedition was fired in Loudi, and in the face of the densely packed Northern Expedition fighters, Wu Peifu's army was stunned, and had never seen an army with such a good appearance and such strict discipline?
Seeing the artillery fire coming, the Wu soldiers began to be confused, and they could not even fight back effectively.
As soon as the shelling stopped, the machine guns and rifles of the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army sounded, beating the Wu soldiers in Loudi to the point that they could not lift their heads.
Immediately, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army had already seen the decline of the enemy in front, and he quickly ordered a charge, and all the Northern Expedition soldiers jumped out of their positions and went straight to the enemy in front.
A fight soon came to an end, and the disciplined Wu soldiers had already fallen a large number of soldiers after shelling and machine gun suppression, and it was really impossible to form an effective resistance.
Loudi was lost, followed by Gushui, Tanshi and other places.
The tough guys of ye ting's independent regiment had always rushed to the front of the hard battle, but this time they punched the cotton.
The Wu soldiers on Liling saw ye Ting's independent regiment in front of them, and they were already murderous in the distance, knowing that this was a group of fierce and fierce people who were not afraid of death and were extremely strong.
Relying on the kung fu of their own three-legged cats, it must be a dead end, so they directly withdrew from Liling.
03 Broken City
Most of Hunan had fallen into the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army, leaving only Changsha.
The outskirts of Changsha were also surrounded by the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had brought in all its heavy artillery and frantically bombarded the city head of Changsha.
The Wu army in Changsha intended to hold out for help, but they underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
The cannons continued, and the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army ordered the charge to begin.
For a moment, the warriors exerted all their strength and charged away with roars. The shelling had already punched a gap in changsha's city gates, and the fighters charged and opened fire.
With the heavy machine guns on the position, for a time, the enemy in Changsha could hardly counterattack.
The warriors rushed into Changsha City, and a fight began, and there were not many defenders in Changsha City, all of which were concentrated at the head of the city.
So the city became the main battlefield.
The soldiers were crowded, morale was high, and when it came to skill, they were even more trained, and their combat effectiveness naturally threw away the soldiers of the Wu Army.
In an almost one-sided situation, the bravery of the warriors was fully demonstrated, and they tightened their weapons and drove the Wu soldiers out of Changsha City.
This was the first major victory of the Northern Expedition.
