The sun rises high, and the tiny clouds make small white waves in the light blue sky, and the warmth of the light and the joy of victory are exchanged together, making people feel comfortable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fangcheng Port was in an uproar, and ships of all sizes were mobilized to transfer supplies ashore from cargo ships in the open sea. A small steamer approached the dock with black smoke, and Chen Wenqiang strode ashore with his entourage and shook hands with the officers who greeted him one by one.

"The anti-Qing hero Wang Heshun has been fighting for many years, which has made the Qing army fearful, and Chen admires it!" Chen Wenqiang deliberately changed the party hero to an anti-Qing hero, Wang Heshun joined the revival association for a long time, and he must know the revival association's views and evaluations of the party, although he has changed a lot, but this also avoids unnecessary embarrassment.

"Brother used to be a blind toss, but he only knew the true meaning of the revolution when he joined the Renaissance Association, and Executive Committee Chen praised falsely, and my brother really didn't dare to be it." Wang Heshun was a little cramped, after all, in his heart, he felt that he was not coming from the right way, and he was not as good as those people in the revival meeting.

"In the past, it was an anti-Qing riot, and the rebellion was uneven; Now it is a revolutionary uprising, and it is necessary to change the world. Chen Wenqiang encouraged warmly: "Learning, progress, and hard work, this ambition is high, and action must also keep up." The headquarters has high hopes for you, don't let us down! ”

"Yes, I will work hard and will not disappoint the leaders of the headquarters." Wang Heshun was quite moved.

"Qiu J, well, the first female lieutenant in the revolutionary army, I have known your name for a long time." Chen Wenqiang patted Wang Heshun's arm vigorously, nodded, walked up to Qiu J and smiled and spoke.

"Hello, Executive Committee Member Chen. I have long admired your name. "Autumn J is not restrained, and it is also due to his personality.

"It's just a false name, hiding behind, it's not as good as you going into battle to kill. Do a good job, there must be female generals in the revolutionary army. You want to have a female cadre in the revival meeting, right? ”

"Yes, equality between men and women, this is my hope."

…………

"Executive Committee Chen, please go into the city!" Ge Zhichu stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "There are reinforcements." There is also a huge amount of supplies, and the revolutionary army is in a hurry to show its strength, just waiting for you to arrange the command! ”

"With Wu Shuai strategizing thousands of miles away, you professionals still need to do military work! As for me, I'm right next to the staff officer. Chen Wenqiang said with a smile as he walked: "How is the situation in Fangcheng, is the harvest big?" ”

"It's a lot of money." Ge Zhichu introduced: "We will be escorted to Fucheng later, and we won't get anything." ”

"It's to fight such a rewarding battle, without money and food, what can you use to recruit troops and buy horses?" Chen Wenqiang pondered. said: "What about Qinzhou, is there any movement?" ”

"No information has come yet." Ge Zhichu was also uncertain and said: "Besieged from all sides, it is likely that he didn't run out to report the news, but this, it's not easy to say." ”

After a pause, he continued: "If you want to attack Qinzhou, the Fangcheng Magistrate who was captured alive took the initiative to make suggestions, but I don't know if it can be trusted. Not feasible. ”

Oh, Chen Wenqiang was slightly surprised. But then he calmed down and distinguished the real from the fake, which is his strength.

Historically, after the League launched the Fangcheng Uprising, Song Dingyuan, the magistrate of the county, did take the initiative to help the righteous army take Qinzhou. But Liang Shaoting sent by Beichen to avenge his personal revenge. but killed Song Dingyuan's full door. And it is recorded in the history books that "the rebel army occupied Fangcheng and captured and killed Song Dingyuan, the magistrate of the county, and 19 of his staff and dependents, and the people all applauded." ”

It is possible to clap their hands and say that it is fast, anyway, most of the people will be happy and applaud when they see the bad luck of the officials and the rich. But to say that Song Dingyuan really hurt nature and reason, and his crime is unforgivable. The reason is obviously not sufficient, not to mention that it is really too much to kill all the old and young people.

The magistrate of the late Qing Dynasty was a rat in the splint, with the apportionment of indemnities on top and the boiling grievances of the people under the harsh taxes below, and it was very good if he was not greedy.

It's true that he wants to save his life and that of his family, but if he really joins the revolution, he can't talk about it now.

Chen Wenqiang looked at Song Dingyuan, the magistrate of the county, and listened to his proposal: the revolutionary army first ambushed outside the city of Qinzhou, and then assigned some soldiers to Song Dingyuan, and then disguised some soldiers as prisoners, and he pretended to escort the prisoners to Qinzhou with soldiers. Because he is the magistrate of Fangcheng, Qinzhou will inevitably let him into the city, and when he enters the city gate, he will suddenly take down the soldiers guarding the gate and send a signal, and as soon as the revolutionary army rushes in, Qinzhou City can fall in one fell swoop.

"Well, it works." Chen Wenqiang smiled and nodded, although the plan still needs to be perfected in some details, this clever way to take Qinzhou is indeed feasible.

Song Dingyuan was a little relieved, and kept peeking at this bearded and famous revolutionary party.

"I know you're concerned about your family's safety." Chen Wenqiang spoke slowly, pointing directly at Song Dingyuan's heart, "There is no need to say any more lies about joining the revolution, and I won't believe how much I say." But if you make meritorious contributions, such as helping the revolutionary army take Qinzhou, not only your family, but also your life can be saved. Not only will I give you back your property, and I can even arrange a way back for you. Overseas, Vietnam, send your whole family to a place beyond the control of the Qing court, so that you can live in peace and stability. ”

"Thank you, sir." Song Dingyuan's tears fell, this is too intimate, this back road, too thoughtful.

"Get up!" Chen Wenqiang raised his hand and motioned for Song Dingyuan not to kneel, then turned his head to Zhou Hua and Chen Chun that he brought and instructed: "You take him down, that's roughly the way to do it, take it tricks, and make a plan as soon as possible." ”

Although the officers in the revolutionary army are all considered to have graduated from military academies, the military academy is not too formal, and the study time is short. Therefore, Chen Wenqiang still believes in collective wisdom, and the system of the staff committee or staff department will also be established in the revolutionary army.

"There are also a few Qing generals who surrendered." Ge Zhichu saw that the people who were going to have a meeting were arriving one after another, so he tentatively suggested: "Why don't you wait until the meeting is over to deal with them?" ”

"Let's have a meeting first!" Chen Wenqiang nodded, "Those guys are going to be taken first, and now there is Qinzhou to hurry up and take them down, so I can't take care of them for the time being." ”

It is not an easy task to persist in the border areas of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Vietnam for a long time, and not to wander in the style of stragglers. Although the patrol battalion is low-fighting. But the advantage is that there are many people, and those in Guangxi can resist, but what about those in Guangdong, which are transferred from other provinces? In total, there are fifteen or six hundred people, and even if they can be replenished, they can't withstand the continuous combat attrition.

So. It is necessary to have a long-term strategy, and there must be a corresponding tactical style of play, which can not only destroy the enemy, but also preserve itself to the greatest extent, and be able to continue to grow and develop. And this kind of development and growth is not to suddenly raise thousands or even tens of thousands of brave and poor people, and if you win, you will shout, and if you lose, you will scatter everywhere.

By the time the participants entered the room, they sat down at a large conference table around several tables, and a large map was already hanging on the wall. In front of everyone was also given a booklet entitled "Strategies and Tactics of the Protracted Struggle."

"As for the book, if you have time to read it in the future, now you mainly listen to me, and if you have any questions, ask them, and I will answer them." Chen Wenqiang's face was solemn and serious, and his beard couldn't hide it.

"I'll read the list to you first: four artillery pieces, ...... shells"

The crowd listened quietly, and the more they listened, the more joyful they became. Again a gun, another cannon. There are also grenades, and the bullets are also very abundant, with these materials, the revolutionary army can be guaranteed to attack the city and seize the land, and show its strength.

Chen Wenqiang's voice did not have an exciting and exciting feeling, and after reading it in one go, he paused. Shen Sheng asked, "In addition to these materials, there are also 200,000 silver dollars. What do you think? Do you think you can do it happily, turn Guangxi upside down, and kill the Qing army in fear? ”

Isn't it? Everyone exchanged glances with each other, knowing that Chen Wenqiang asked this. There must be a mystery, and no one dares to answer easily.

"Don't forget, the headquarters has insisted on your requirements for a long time, and the red flag will not fall." Chen Wenqiang accentuated his tone and glanced at everyone, "The materials seem to be a lot, and they are indeed a lot. But this is for you to consume for a long time, and the next replenishment may be half a year, or it may be a year. When the headquarters has gone through all the hard work to raise a considerable amount of materials and funds, I hope that you will continue to struggle, and not only that, but I also hope that the revolutionary army has grown and grown, and not that it will exist in the form of stragglers after a painful toss. ”

After a pause, Chen Wenqiang continued: "What are you, you are the elite, the backbone, the most trustworthy, and the loyal troops that the Fuxing Society has painstakingly cultivated. For example, the headquarters is the brain, and you are the bones, strong, stiff bones. A person who only has a brain and bones is not complete, not strong, and has muscles that are attached to the bones. Now, how to grow muscles, the hope is in you. ”

Everyone listened quietly, only Chen Wenqiang's voice echoed in the room.

"Of course, it is easy to fight vigorously and vigorously, and all of you here are also brave warriors who are not afraid of sacrifice, and I believe that the current revolutionary army soldiers are also like this. But I would like to say that this is short-sighted, that it ignores the overall situation, and that it does not see the success of the revolution. You may have heard some relevant remarks before, and you know that the combat strategy will change, but how it will change, you are not very clear in your mind. ”

"Here I will tell you the guiding principle of future military operations, that is: to preserve your own forces as much as possible and destroy the enemy's forces. Some comrades may ask, then how can we explain the brave sacrifice advocated by the war struggle? Every battle has to pay a price, sometimes a great price, and isn't it contradictory to saving oneself? ”

"Actually, there is no contradiction at all, if we regard sacrifice as a necessity to destroy the enemy, but also a necessity to preserve oneself, and a necessary price to pay for the preservation of the whole, everyone can be freed from doubt. To put it simply: it is to achieve victory with the least sacrifice. And the assessment of victory will be comprehensive, not only the number of enemies killed, but also the captured materiel, the impact caused, the favorable conditions for compensating for the loss of sacrifices, and so on. ”

"Take this surprise attack on the city as an example, it can be said that it is very good, the cost is small, the harvest is large, money, food, and materials are on the one hand, and the loss of personnel can also be replenished quickly, although the recruits have to be trained and educated, but time is what we can afford to wait. But does having a good start mean keeping it up? I mean, should this defensive city be occupied for a long time, or should all the forces be concentrated here to resist the Qing troops from all walks of life who heard the news? ”

Chen Wenqiang stopped and looked at each other with his inquiring gaze.

"I think it's the opposite of preserving yourself and sticking to it for a long time." Ge Zhichu thought about it and said: "There are abundant materials, and the officers and soldiers are brave and brave, which is certainly a favorable condition, but how many Qing troops are there, and they are constantly coming to attack, and we only have these 1,500 or 600 people, how long can we hold out?" ”

Chen Wenqiang nodded appreciatively, and said to Wang Heshun with a smile: "Anti-Qing hero, tell me how many guns there were during the armed riot, and what can you rely on to deal with officers and soldiers for several years?" ”

"This-" Wang Heshun hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment under Chen Wenqiang's encouraging gaze, and said, "There were a lot of people at that time, but there were not many guns. When the officers and men came, they would fight if they could beat me, but if they couldn't beat me, they would run away, and they would go into the mountains and forests. If the officers and soldiers are strong here, I will go there; It's hard to fight the officers and soldiers over there, so I'll go somewhere else. ”

Someone smiled, perhaps thinking that Wang Heshun was too popular.

Chen Wenqiang smiled and said: "It is indeed a very good tactic to avoid the real and attack the false, to attack the east and the west, to be mobile and flexible, and to make the officers and men tired of running for their lives. If you want to have a good time and confront the Qing army head-on, of course, you are brave and fearless, but I am afraid that after a tough battle, your men and horses will suffer heavy losses, and you will not be able to hold out for several years, right? ”

"Yes, with the equipment and training of the rebel army at that time, it is indeed impossible to confront the Qing army head-on." Wang Heshun nodded in agreement.

"This is the crux of the matter, instead of making a desperate bet, it is better to take the initiative to carry out the battlefield shift, avoid the strong enemy, strike at the weak enemy, or drag the enemy apart, and then wait for the opportunity to destroy them one by one. In the overall situation, the revolutionary army was weaker than the Qing army, because the Qing court might mobilize troops from Guangxi, Guangdong, and even other provinces to attack; However, in a certain part, the strength of the revolutionary army may have an advantage, such as the current Fangcheng, Qinzhou, and even Lianzhou, so we must take the initiative to attack, expand the momentum, and obtain capture. However, if Qinzhou and Lianzhou are on guard, and when the Qing army is large and fortified, we must avoid the losses caused by attacking the fortified positions, or lure the enemy to dispatch, or turn to attack other places, and then wait for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. ”

"It is the responsibility of your officers to change the battle plan according to the changes in the situation, and it must be done." Chen Wenqiang suddenly aggravated his tone, and his eyes became sharp, "No matter how many enemies you kill and injure, no matter how brave you are, as long as you violate the general principles of combat and disregard the life and death of soldiers for what honor and military exploits, then you are a cold-blooded general, unsuitable for commanding battles, and only worthy of being a small soldier." ”
