As the provincial capital of Jiangxi, Nanchang should become very dull after the summer, and now the whole city is in a commotion, and the sultry heat has not been able to dispel the fear in people's hearts.

It is only less than thirty or forty kilometers away from the county towns and towns that are being digested and absorbed by the workers' and peasants' army, and some dignitaries and dignitaries who have received scattered news of the defeat of some nationalist defense army troops on the front line calmed down after a period of panic, and took advantage of the fact that the workers' and peasants' army did not rush over, and began to pack up and dispose of real estate in advance.

At 13:22 p.m., a fierce battle broke out between the vanguard of the Workers' and Peasants' Army and the garrison of the National Defense Army guarding the defense line outside Nanchang. The garrison of the National Defense once tried to launch a counterattack, but in less than ten minutes the Workers' and Peasants' Army, armed to the teeth, drove back to the line like a rabbit, and after losing nearly a thousand corpses, they cowered.

"Run, the red bandits are going to enter the city! If you're late, it's too late! "The roar of artillery outside Nanchang and the loud sound of shells falling to the ground and exploding made some people in the city panic, and some people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic took advantage of the fire to rob, and many shops were not only robbed but also ignited by people, and the flammable materials in the shops were on fire. It won't be long before these shops are on fire, no matter how the owner cries and shouts to his mother, no one comes forward to help put out the fire, and now the crowd who is planning to flee is running out with all their hearts, and there will be no concern if you are on fire.

In a teahouse, some citizens who are reluctant to leave Nanchang and bosses who have insisted on not stopping business look at the scene as if they were in a thousand postures like the end of the world, and sighed with emotion.

"Alas, this world is in chaos and no one wants to live." A middle-aged teahouse owner in his forties, wearing a melon skin hat and a long horse coat, shook his head and sighed as he looked at everything in front of him from the window on the second floor.

"It's not that those people (the red organizations during the Beiyang Cooperation Period) have been forced to rebel over the years, but as a result, people simply went to the countryside to make trouble, and now all this is not traced back to the root cause of the people above (including Chang Shengkai, including the high-level Beiyang leaders)." An old man who had experienced strong winds and waves and was still in good health shook his head, and at the same time pointed to the top of his head with his hand.

"The local people can't live anymore, what can they do if they don't rise up, at least they can fill their bellies before they die, it's better if this evil old world is ruined!!" Other young people who looked like students spoke in a very aggressive tone.

"I heard that the red bandits have a super cannon that can bomb Nanchang with one cannon, why don't you believe it? The relatives of my second uncle's next door saw it with their own eyes when they were soldiers in President Chiang Chi-cheng's army. "Some idlers who listen to the wind and rain begin to exaggerate their so-called relatives' of what they hear and see.

As the fire outside grew bigger and bigger, the only few fire trucks and more than a dozen firefighters in Nanchang City tried in vain to control the fire with a drop in the bucket of fire hose spray guns, but unfortunately the water plant stopped supplying water at this time, along with the power supply station that delivered electricity to the entire city. I just don't know how long the remaining people in Nanchang City can hold on to the lack of electricity and water.

"Mom, it's really not safe here, it's not that the red bandits in Jiangxi have been ...... Ah, no, the workers' and peasants' armies were all wiped out? Why did it pop up so much all at once? Some tea drinkers listened to the rumbling of artillery and the tsunami of the workers' and peasants' army outside the city, and they were very surprised by the intensity of the artillery and the cries of the waves of shouts, and wondered when the workers' and peasants' army had become so many like a snowball.

"Hmph, how high is the combat effectiveness of those gang of people who have suffered from the army, in addition to killing the good and risking their merits, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, etc.! If you want me to say that it's better than a red bandit...... The workers' and peasants' army took over here. A girl dressed as a schoolgirl with pigtails snorted coldly.

"Little girl cautiously, didn't the old Liu Tou next door say a few words in the teahouse the day before yesterday, and now he is still locked up in prison, hehe, the crime is to spread red remarks and engage in redness......" A kind old gentleman stood up and persuaded the little girl who didn't know the height of the sky in his eyes.

"It's not that the people around the president are blaming for doing things, you see, our big country doesn't even have a decent large-scale industrial system, and all provinces and places are full of small military factories and factories that don't even have half of the foreigners, and the guns and cannons made can barely be used, and in the end, they really can't do it and have to buy them abroad, isn't this a big wrong." A bespectacled boy next to the girl said hatefully.

"Little brother, look at what you said, it's not that we don't have arsenals and factories, you can see what I can count for you: Shanghai Arsenal, Shanghai Arsenal Jinling Branch, Sichuan First Arsenal, Hanyang Arsenal, Gongxian Arsenal, etc., there are too many other factories related to people's livelihood......" The uncle who traveled south and north stood up and began to popularize and popularize relevant knowledge to a group of people who had not gone out to see the world.

"I said, this old brother, how did you reveal the Shenyang Arsenal in the northeast, some time ago it was rumored that even more than 200 caliber cannons could be made by yourself, and it was said that there are ...... noses and eyes," corrected a middle-aged man who looked like a professor who knew a little about the military industry.

"The Northeast Arsenal is known as our first military factory in China, and the Zhang family has invested a lot, but unfortunately, some time ago, the Japanese invaded the three eastern provinces, wasn't it demolished at that time? Zhang Shaoshuai, who was hiding in Beiping, didn't even dare to fight the Japanese, and he didn't cower in the city of Beiping...... "The uncle who went south and north shook his head at the Shenyang Arsenal, which no longer existed, but looked disdainful of the young marshal who did not resist.

Just as everyone was talking, after several policemen with black dogskins in the old era blew a shrill whistle with their sirens, the crowd that was originally chaotic on the street immediately separated on both sides and made way for the middle road, only to see Beiyang policemen wearing black dogskins on military trucks being pulled to the defense line of the National Defense Army garrison outside the city.

"Alas, another group of them went to die." "Yes, yes, yes", "It's important to run for your life." "People in the crowd who were going to flee began to whisper.

"The sky is about to change." The bespectacled teacher in the teahouse stuck his head out and looked at the gradually changing sky, and said thoughtfully.

"It's time for a change." The owner of the teahouse, who didn't know why, also looked up at the sky, as if he understood but didn't seem to understand and echoed the teacher just now.

"It's really going to change, that's great." The speaker had no intention of listening, and a group of young people who looked like students looked at each other without hiding the joy in their eyes, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

Two hours later, the 30,000 or 40,000 troops garrisoned in the Nanchang camp, which had been pinned on by the central government in Nanjing, were defeated by the Red Army, which had superior strength, before they could survive even a day, which shocked the Chinese and foreign forces.

In addition, the bad news that caught President Chiang Zhicheng and his cadres in Nanjing by surprise was the early uprising of the 26th Route Army of the National Defense Army in Ningdu, Jiangxi, and the 17,000-strong officers and men of the 26th Army revolted because they were dissatisfied with the Nanjing Government's policy of non-resistance to foreign countries.

After the "918" incident, the Japanese Kwantung Army invaded and occupied China's three northeastern provinces step by step. The vast majority of the officers and men of the 26th Route of the National Defense Army, who were participating in the "clean-up" of the workers' and peasants' army in Jiangxi, were northerners. Feeling the deep national crisis, they unanimously demanded that the struggle against the workers' and peasants' army be stopped and that they should return to the north to fight against the Japanese invaders. However, Jiang Zhicheng, who was in Nanchang to command the "clean-up", still stubbornly adhered to the policy of "first securing the interior before attacking the outside", and sent heavy troops to block the road of the 26th Route Army to the north. This move aroused strong dissatisfaction among the officers and men of the 26th Route Army.

There is another reason: at that time, Jiang Zhicheng conspired to force the 26th Army to enter Ningdu, which was surrounded by the workers' and peasants' army, to play a supporting role, and the only way to retreat north to Nanchang was blocked by Zhu Shaoliang, a descendant of Jiang Zhicheng's faction.

The 26th Route Army was trapped in Ningdu, and was in danger of being wiped out by the Workers' and Peasants' Army; Retreating was not tolerated by Jiang Zhicheng's military order, and he was in a dilemma and fell into a difficult situation. In addition, the vast number of officers and men did not adapt to the climate in the south, they did not adapt to the water and soil, the plague was epidemic, and many people died of disease. At the same time, the officers and men of the 26th Army witnessed the implementation of the land revolution in the base areas, the living conditions of the workers and peasants were improved, and the officers and men of the workers, peasants, and soldiers were equal. Through the stark contrast, the extended mood is further nurtured, and the centrifugal force on President Jiang Zhicheng is increasing more and more (sure enough, Jiang Zhicheng will not die if he does not die, and he will die if he dies is self-inflicted. The Red Organization seized the anti-Chiang Chiang sentiment of the 26th Route Army and actively carried out propaganda and agitation work to promote the maturity of the uprising.

After all the officers and men of the 26th Route Army, who had already been dissatisfied with Jiang Zhicheng, all hula and collectively threw themselves into the red organization, they immediately turned their guns and killed Ningdu and stabbed their former colleagues, sprinkling all the grievances of Jiang Zhicheng's unfair treatment in the past on Jiang Zhicheng's descendants. It's a pity that the 29th Army was pulled by the young marshal to stay in Beiping to garrison, and the rest are either self-reliant or weak. I know how to hit it in the future, so Jiang Zhicheng can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood in his stomach.

Got the news of the fall of Nanchang, the major cities not far from Jiangxi, are now in danger, and the 26th Army is full of vigilance for the garrison around them, Changsha, Hunan Province, Hunan Provincial Chairman He Jian does not know that he has been targeted by the Red Organization and Wang Xinya, there is a sentence is not that the husband is not guilty, is he guilty, who told you to have the Hengyang Ordnance Bureau, this arsenal, plus it is next to Hubei and close to the Hanyang Arsenal, isn't it a double win to take it.
