Chapter 117: Attack on Guizhou

Chongqing was besieged by the two armies for five or six days before being broken by the New People's Army, and then Dai Rufeng, commander of the Right Route Army, led the 4th Division to attack Nanchuan on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li He, commander of the Left Route Army, sent four regiments of the Eastward Division to continue to attack eastward to take Cheng, Fuling, Fengdu, and Zhongxian, and then attack Kuizhou Prefecture, while the main force of the 3rd Division attacked Linshui County in the north, and then attacked Suiding Mansion to seek Dazhou.

As soon as Chongqing was captured, Yang Dongfang relied on the coordinate point left in Chongqing to receive a good news from the military newspaper office, which was also sent to Deyang City, and Deyang City, which was tormented, ushered in the most fatal blow.

The last straw that crushed the camel soon had results, that night, the east gate opened, part of the Qing army surrendered, the new people's army took the opportunity to attack the city, He Bisheng and Yang Yinggang were killed, and Deyang City surrendered.

The attack on Deyang did not hurt a single soldier or foot, and the whole of Sichuan was completely controlled by the New People's Army.

At the same time, Li Xiongxiong, who was in Ningyuan Mansion, received an order that had been waiting for a long time.

"Are you finally going home! It's been half a year, and Brother Yang really didn't break his promise. Li Xiongxiong looked up at the bright moon in the south, showing a look of relief, and only after ten minutes did he say to the guards behind him: "Order, the 7th Regiment and the 101st Regiment of the Kangxi Independent Brigade will withdraw from Mianning County and Yuexi tomorrow, and go south to Daliang Mountain to rest for five days, and the 70th Regiment and the 102nd Regiment will stay behind. ”

Five days later, the 4th Division captured Nanchuan, Dai Rufeng led two regiments to turn south, attack Qijiang, and then continue south into Guizhou, attacking Loushan Pass in Zunyi.

Zhao Dechang, the governor of Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty, was in a hurry, and the governor of Yungui in the Qing Dynasty sent the general Feng Rulong and heavy troops to aid Zunyi.

At the same time as the 4th Division attacked Loushan Pass, Liu Yongfu led the 6th Division across the Yangtze River, attacked the Chishui River, divided the troops into two routes from Xishui and Qixingguan, approached the four major commercial and trade towns in northern Guizhou, and attacked Zunyi and after all.

Feng Shixing, the chief soldier of the Qingqing Jin Dynasty, sat in Bijie, dispatched various bandit armies to return to help, resisted the Sichuan New People's Army, and also asked Guiyang for help, Lao Chongguang continued to draw troops from Guiyang Anshun to the north, and the hinterland of central Guizhou became empty.

The rebels from all walks of life, who were originally beaten to death, breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time received contacts from the military intelligence department of the New People's Army.

In particular, Tao Xinchun, the leader of the rebel army entrenched in the Weining, Dading, and Bijie areas in northwest Guizhou, received contact from the New People's Army half a month ago.

In 1862, when Shi Dakai passed through Guizhou, he had an acquaintance with this rebel army, and Tao Xinchun also drank wine with Shi Dakai, and they agreed with each other.

At that time, Shi Dakai was still writing a poem in Miao Village, leaving a good story!

"A thousand pearls are collected in an urn, and the king bows his head here.

Wuyue hugged Optimus Prime and sucked up the water of the Yellow River and flowed backwards. ”

"You really are the subordinates of the Winged King!" Tao Xinchun lamented Shi Dakai's death, and heard that the New People's Army in Sichuan turned out to be Shi Dakai's descendant, and he was more grateful than surprised.

His rebel army is now in full swing to grow and develop, and a lot of credit is due to Shi Dakai, who guided him and imitated Shi's military system and administrative management, which led to his current achievements.

The person sent to contact was Sun Xiliang, one of the original thirty-eight people, who told him about the passage through Qianxi that year, while taking out Zeng Shihe's letter, and finally mentioned: "This is natural, I also rescued a thousand years old with the marshal back then, but we were incompetent, and in the end we only rescued Zeng and the son. The Wing King is afraid of dragging me down, so he self-immolated. ”

"What... The heir of the Winged King is still alive. Tao Xinchun hurriedly took the letter, read it, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, the more excited his face became, he laughed out loud after reading it, and then immediately beckoned people to come over and announce: "Order all departments, will attack the festival, and the whole army will open tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he said to Sun Xiliang: "I will arrange a team of people to go to Xianning with you, and wait there to pick up Yang Dashuai." ”

When Guizhou was in the middle of the meeting, Li Xiongxiong went south from Daliang Mountain, suddenly cut off the rear of Zhaotong, and joined Yang Dongfang to attack from the east.

Zhaotong is known as the small Kunming, the strategic location is important, there is "the key to the south of Yunnan, the throat of the west of Shu." ”。

The defender was Liu Yuezhao, who fled, and originally wanted to rely on Jiancheng to defeat the New People's Army, but after seeing Yang Dongfang personally commanding the attack and bringing the artillery regiment, where did he still have the courage, and he had already prepared to retreat at any time.

It was the 7th Regiment and the 101st Regiment of the Kang Southwest Independent Brigade that suddenly appeared in the rear.

"Withdraw!"

Unwillingly but very resolutely spit out a word, Liu Yuezhao left the local generals of Zhaotong, and he took 2,000 headquarters out of the city to the west, and when he left, he also said to the general soldiers of Zhaotong: "I will help you solve your worries, defeat the new bandit Li Xiongxiong, and you can defend the city with peace of mind." ”

As a result, in less than half a day, the general army of Zhaotong was killed by shelling, and Yang Dongfang led people to take Zhaotong in Xiaokunming.

Capture this strategic point, advance can attack Yunnan, retreat can protect Sichuan, for a while Yunnan was shaken, Yunnan governor Jia Hongzhao panicked, Yunnan governor Ma Rulong was even more anxious, and Yunnan political envoy Cen Yuying stormed Xundian and Qujing.

Ma Lian, Ma Rong and others of the Eastern Yunnan Righteous Army rejoiced, their morale soared, and their will to resist the Qing army was stronger, and they were looking forward to the arrival of the new people's army.

Yang Dongfang also ordered the 101st Regiment of the Kang Southwest Independent Brigade to make a big noise around, to the west pole to capture the county seat in the west, first take Ludian, advance to Huize, threaten Dongchuan Mansion, and have the intention of opening up Xundian and converging with Shuangma.

provoked Ma Rulong to have to divide his troops to the north, and he couldn't do his best to besiege Xundian.

Secretly, Yang Dongfang took three regiments to Guizhou lightly, entered Xianning and joined Tao Xinchun's brother Tao Sanchun, relying on Tao Sanchun as a guide, and then went south to Liupanshui in concealment.

Suddenly appeared in Qianxi, bombarded the city with artillery, and conquered Pu'an Prefecture in one fell swoop.

The soldiers were fast, leaving Tao Sanchun's department here, the 1st Regiment of the Guard Division, the 7th Regiment of the 7th Brigade, the 1st Regiment of the New Artillery Brigade, and the three regiments continued to go south to break through the Shuicheng Hall, and rushed to Anshun Mansion at night, and continued to advance with artillery, which caught Zhang Liangji, the governor of Guizhou here, by surprise.

At this time, Anshun was very empty, where there were soldiers to resist, and the city was quickly broken.

Occupying Anshun Mansion, it also invaded the hinterland of Guizhou, threatened Guiyang, occupied the granary of Guizhou, and at the same time cut off the communication artery from Guizhou to Yunnan, and relieved the southern difficulty of the Zhaotong Righteous Army.

vividly taught the Qing army a lesson on what is called blitzkrieg.

When the soldiers approached the city, the right-hand man folded his wings, and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Lao Chongguang, was so taken aback that he almost scared out of his heart attack, and hurriedly convened his subordinates in the middle of the night to discuss.

"The new bandits are really curious and dangerous, and it is found that this team is the leader of the new bandits, Yang Dongfang."

"This person actually led the team personally, such a big pair of courage, he actually went around my rear alone, not afraid of one accidentally annihilating the whole army."

"I'm afraid that it has something to rely on, Anshun is the belly of Qian, the throat of Yunnan, and the lips and teeth of Guangdong and Shu, such a place has not made any noise at all, and it has been conquered, and the new bandits marched so quickly that they accidentally hit the city of Guiyang, so it is not appropriate to go out of the city before the situation is unknown."

The two sides insisted on their own words, and some agreed that while the New People's Army was not firmly established, it should be quickly defeated in order to recover Anshun. After all, Anshun is the hometown of Tunpu, the granary of Qiandi, where there are people and people, and there is grain and grain, and it cannot be lost. In time, the New People's Army can use the resources there to quickly sit in Guizhou, and once the New People's Army sits firmly and smoothly, it will be too late to fight, and Guiyang will be shaken.

Some are extremely cautious, saying that the new bandits are all new muskets and artillery, which are very different from the previous muskets, and the lethality is extremely strong, and it is the safest to attack the city in a short way or defend the city.

I didn't see that the governor Zhang Liangji was killed, and those who wanted to follow in the footsteps could wipe it.

No one in Guiyang City has seen the New People's Army or fought with the New People's Army, so the perception of the New People's Army depends entirely on ear-to-ear, and what is known is not true.

At this time, Lao Chongguang was a little resentful of Liu Yuezhao, this kid had fought with the New People's Army a few times, if only he were in Guiyang, he would be able to understand more or less clearly.

is obviously the political envoy of Guizhou, but he fled to Yunnan without knowing how to write shameful characters.

However, in the end, Lao Chongguang overrode the public opinion, patted the desk, and said fiercely: "Needless to say, Anshun must be recaptured, otherwise over time, the entire southern Qiannan will also be afraid of changes, and it is more likely that the New People's Army will block the way out of Guizhou." ”

"The most important thing is to take back Anping County (Pingba) for me."

really told him that he was right, after taking Anshun, Yang Dongfang directly allocated a guard battalion to send Li Xiongxiong to strengthen the firepower, and rushed to Anping County (Pingba), the bridgehead to attack Guiyang, overnight.

Before leaving, Yang Dongfang also instructed Li Xiongxiong: "Don't hurt Lao Chongguang all at once, don't use the guard battalion until you have to, try to drag the Qianjun as much as possible, and let him attack you." ”

"Don't worry, Dashuai! Guaranteed completion of the task. Li Xiongxiong laughed and touched his beard:

"I understand that the 4th and 6th Divisions were transferred to attack Qianbei in front of the front, so that Guiyang and Anshun were empty, so as to take the opportunity to secretly Chen Cang, and now that Anshun is defeated, it will be our turn to contain and threaten Guiyang, and let Lao Chongguang transfer troops from the north to help and provide opportunities for the 4th and 6th Divisions."

Li Xiongxiong was gearing up, he couldn't wait for a long time, this way to attack Guizhou, it was all artillery regiment bombardment, the 1st Guard Regiment assaulted, and the county government was blitzked, and his 7th Regiment was about to become an engineer and security regiment, so Li Xiongxiong was very depressed in his heart, and he had known that he wanted Yang Dongfang to have an independent attack plan.

Yang Dongfang said with a smile: "It's good to understand, let's go now, when Tao Sanchun's people come, I can support you in attacking Guiyang." ”
