The first route—Shanghai to take the offensive, was appointed by Gong Bangduo, Ma Yuren and others.Its aggressive strategy is divided into three routes: (1) The central route goes to Anting in Kunshan, goes straight to Huangdu Nanxiang, and reaches Shanghai along the Shanghai-Nanjing line. (2) On the left route Liuhe Taicang to attack Wusong's back and the navy to attack its abdomen. (3) From Anting on the right, divide troops to attack Qingpu, Zhujiajiao, and cross Songjiang to break the connection between Zhejiang and Shanghai. The second route——Yixing takes the defensive position, and Chen Tiaoyuan and others will take charge of it.It is also divided into three defenses: Zhangzhu, Shushan, and Wuxi, and Shushan in the middle is especially important.

The third route - Guangde to take the offensive, appointed by Wang Pu, the brigade commander of Anhui Province, and others. It is planned to go straight from Si'an to Wuxing, break the return road of Changxing in the north, and reach Hangzhou in the south. The fourth route—Xianxiaguan to take the offensive, was appointed by the Sun Chuanfang Army of Fujian Province and one of the divisions of the Jiangxi Army, with the aim of smashing the back of Zhejiang Province. (2) The Zhejiang army is divided into three groups, and Lu Yongxiang, the commander-in-chief, assumes it himself. Its offensive and defensive plan is as follows:

The first route——Shanghai took a defensive position. Commander He Fenglin, Zhu Guangsheng, Zang Zhiping, Yang Huazhao and other military subordinates took it.The line of defense is very long, and all places such as Huangdu, Nanxiang, Liuhe, Qingpu and Jiading are within the scope. The second route - Changxing to take the offensive, the commander is Chen Leshan, and a large part of the 4th Division and the 10th Division will join.The brigade stationed at Wang Bin in Huzhou was ordered to go to Si'an to resist the Anhui army from Guangde. The third route—Jiangshan takes the defensive position, the commander is Pan Guogang, and the Zhejiang Provincial Army's First Division and a small number of Second Division troops belong to it.

At that time, the initial deployment of troops by the two sides was as follows: (1) Soviet side: The first route is Shanghai (in the area of ​​Qingyang Port in Kunshan), about one division and three brigades, the second route is Yixing, about two brigades, the third route, Guangde, about one brigade and two battalions, and the fourth route, Xianxialing, about one Division three brigade. (2) Zhe Fang: the first route to Shanghai (Nanxiang Liuhe, Wusong and Longhua area) has about one division and one brigade, the second route to Changxing (Lian Wuxing) has about two divisions, and the third route to Jiangshan has about one division and two battalions.

Lu Yongxiang was quite victorious at the beginning of the war. In mid-September, Sun Chuanfang occupied Quzhou. Lu Yongxiang's rear was threatened, and he suspected that his internal army was unstable. He led his troops to leave Hangzhou on the 18th and stick to Zhejiang and Shanghai. Hino energized and went to the field, and the electric cloud: "A lesson from the fathers and husbands of the whole country: This time when Jiangsu and Zhejiang used troops, Qi was the leader of the army and offended the public. Cao was the chief culprit. Inspired by righteous indignation, he mobilized the soldiers of the world. The success or failure of this matter has nothing to do with personal gains and losses. In fact, the growth and decline of people and birds is the judgment. This is the greatest determination, hoping to win with justice. Fortunately, the soldiers have used their lives and the public opinion has assisted them. They fought fiercely for a long time, but they failed. Now the enemy is due to our army's frontal defense line We can't take a step beyond the thunder pool, but we will exhaust the reinforcements from several provinces, and they will attack a corner of Songjiang. We are outnumbered, and we are forced to Songhu. Yuan resolutely gave up on Songhu, cleansing himself and going to the wild. Fu Nian to fight against thieves and put an end to chaos, everyone has a responsibility. To save the country, one does not dare future generations, success does not require oneself. Today, I am disarming the soldiers and impeaching the people. The soldiers have all been entrusted to someone I will be able to respect order and fulfill my duty. I feel ashamed that I have not done my best, and I feel deeply guilty. If there are comrades and allies, the righteous men in the country will continue to fight, so that the country's thieves will be punished quickly, and the overall situation will be clarified early, and it will be forever Xiang retired as a commoner, and was favored by You Guang. He was terrified when he faced the electricity, and Fu Xi brightly inspected it. Lu Yongxiang wrote."

On the same day, Sun Chuanfang also sent a telegram announcing the occupation of Longhua. The telegram said: "I would like to announce that according to Adjutant Feng sent by Ma Baoheng, the commander of the Shanghai Gendarmerie, the enemy was attacked by our army and was retreating steadily. It is no longer an army. Seeing that the situation is over, Lu He was relieved of his post by telegram today and fled by boat. The Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau temporarily The commander will maintain the statement. While Chuanfang designates a place to accommodate the rout soldiers, he orders his troops to stop military operations. Chuanfang intends to lead the guards to station in Longhua immediately to temporarily maintain public order until the arrival of the Qi patrol envoy. Hereby telegram .Sun Chuanfang."

Lu Yongxiang hastily abandoned his army and left. The situation was not so good. Although the battle situation was unfavorable at that time, except for Songjiang, Qingpu, and Jiading, which were occupied by Qi and Sun's side, Huangdu, Nanxiang, Liuhe, and Wusong were still on Lu He's side. Its troops are still complete, including the 4th Division, 10th Division, 6th Mixed Brigade, Zang Zhiping, and Yang Huazhao's troops. There are no less than 30,000 troops in total.After Lu and He left, these armies were leaderless and retreated to the Zhabei South City area and the people's miscellaneous places.

The Shanghai Concession was worried about the influx of broken troops into the concession, so antlers were spread all over the junction, and barbed wire was used as a net. Marines from various countries and the All Nations Volunteer Group also dispatched patrols. During the war between Qi and Lu, the Anhui giant Xu Shuzheng was in Shanghai. Since Lu Yongxiang and others did not respect Xiao Xu, he had to watch from the sidelines. The people were deeply dissatisfied with Lu and He's leaving. Xiao Xuqian had a slight relationship with Zang Zhiping and Yang Huazhao's old troops when he was in Fujian. He instructed these troops to support Xu Shuzheng and maintain them.

In order to encourage Xu to come out of the mountain, the middle-level cadres of the Zhejiang Army held a secret meeting. Chen Leshan and Yang Huazhao were both present, and Xiao Xu took the opportunity to rise up.He ordered the 37th Regiment and 39th Regiment, as well as the subordinates of Zang and Yang of the Fujian Army, to move from the North Railway Station to the Tanziwan area on Maigen Road and set up three lines of defense: the first line was about three miles away from Zhenru, The road is about three miles away from Zhabei, and the third road is in Zhabei. However, since Xu Shuzheng lived on Nanyang Road in the public concession, the Ministry of Industry of the public concession came forward to say that in order to maintain law and order in the concession, they sent a number of patrols to arrest Xiao Xu at home from October 15, completely isolated from the outside world, and on the 20th. On the day, Xiao Xu was deported and left Shanghai.

On October 17, the 13th year of the Republic of China, Sun Chuanfang, the inspector of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Bai Baoshan, the commander of the First Division of the Soviet Army, arrived in Shanghai successively. Together with the representative of Qi Xieyuan, the inspector of Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi, they discussed the reorganization and dismissal conditions with the Zhejiang-Shanghai Allied Forces. Zhu Shengguang, the acting commander of the 10th Division, came out to approach him, and first held an emergency meeting of officers. Everyone believed that Lu Yongxiang and others had abandoned the army and left, and Xu Shuzheng was detained in the concession. Those who are unwilling to reorganize will be paid 20 yuan per soldier, and officers will be paid according to their rank.The letter was forwarded by Qi Xieyuan's representative in Shanghai. Qi Xieyuan replied that those who are willing to be adapted will be called and adapted in the original defense, and those who do not want to be adapted will be paid and dismissed. Sun Chuanfang also agreed with Qi's decision. On October 19, the defeated army concentrated in Longhua, Wusong, Jiangwan and other places to stand by. Sun Chuanfang and Qi Xieyuan issued a precept to the defeated army: "There is no such thing as victory or defeat in a national war, and there are so many casualties among officers and soldiers in this battle. It is a pity to think of this. I think that all officers and soldiers have been fighting for more than a month, and their families must be concerned about the hardships. This envoy will wait for a long time. The army is well aware of this situation. Those who are willing to go home will be given 20 yuan for each soldier, 30 yuan for the chief of staff, 40 yuan for the platoon leader, and 50 yuan for the company commander. Those who are willing to reorganize can be recruited. Then I will temporarily wait for the mission with the original salary. The envoys treat all armies equally, and there is no discrimination. Fortunately, don't wait and see, and they all obey. Sun Chuanfang, Qi Xieyuan." Sun Chuanfang's General Staff Office issued a notice to end the fighting as follows: "All newspapers have learned from you: Dear Sirs, since the patrolling envoy Sun was in Shanghai, he has been actively handling the aftermath, and has held repeated meetings with Chief of Staff Liu, the representative of the patrolling envoy Qi. Starting in the afternoon of the same day, we will split up and go to various places to garrison. Since there are no rangers in Shanghai and no returning soldiers, the local public order and commercial administration will gradually return to their original state. Department of General Staff, October 19th." Qi Xieyuan also issued a proclamation to end the war: "According to Lu He's rebellion, Zhejiang and Shanghai were attacked by soldiers, and the rebellion and rejuvenation of the army was a last resort. The soldiers continued to cause disasters, and our people suffered. Today, there is a clear distinction between obedience and rebellion, and the reconciliation of heaven and man. After the great emperor is gone, I will miss the remnant , the envoy was very happy, and felt that he was in trouble. All the aftermaths were discussed separately by the special commissioner in Songhu area, and they will be implemented today. The envoy will come to Shanghai in person within a few days to repair and express condolences. The local officials, gentry, and elders should appease the exile and take advantage of the sub-state's intention to punish the people and punish crimes. This announcement is made for everyone to know, and there is no violation of this announcement." On October 13, Lu Yongxiang and Zang Zhiping fled to Japan by ship.The Jiangsu-Zhejiang War ended in one month and ten days. Lu Yongxiang is also considered an important role among the Beiyang warlords. He is also very prestigious in Zhejiang and Shanghai. Now he has only lost a family dog ​​and fled to the Japanese annex to live in exile. As early as September 3, the Beijing government ordered the dismissal of Lu Yongxiang as the Zhejiang military supervisor, deprived him of his official honors, and ordered Qi Xieyuan to suppress him; on September 20, Sun Chuanfang was appointed as the supervisor of Zhejiang military affairs, and Qi Xieyuan was also the Songhu military envoy.
