It was about to dawn, and the industrious peasants had already gotten up to sort out their tools and were ready to go up the hill and down the field. The women who were busy day and night www.biquge.info blinked their slightly reddened eyes and yawned sleepily, and began to pick up the stove and cook. In a moment, light blue smoke rose from the chimney, mingling with the gray mist, as if to cover the awakened village with a veil. The small clouds in the west, when people could not see the rising sun, were baked bright red by the morning glow, like wisps of colorful jade dotted on the white jade.

Standing on Laifeng Mountain and looking at the ancient city of Tengchong, Qiu J gradually smiled. Tranquil and tranquil, in this remote place, it makes people feel like this. Moreover, Laifengshan is a volcano, and the hot springs are its inherent characteristics, and after washing, the spirit is refreshed, and the body and mind are light.

The strange thing is that she has some imagination, and many things that she has forgotten appear in her mind again, feeling cordial and alienated. She remembers joining Hongmen in Japan and the growing disillusionment with the community.

…… Someone shouted: "The future is no hindrance", and she swore to Liu, Guan, and Zhang Jingxiang that she would abide by the rules and regulations of the gang, and then cut off the rooster's head with a knife, mixing its blood with the blood from her fingers. After the blood alliance, she saw some treasures: a knife that killed people; Cutting through the black clouds that press over China; A brush that can write the law of justice......

But the current reality, as well as her own experience, convinced her that the revolution of such a group would not succeed. She gradually came to believe that it was not some kind of revolutionary enlightenment, but ignorance; Not some spiritual force, but some superstitious activity.

Yes, she saw a lot of charlatans under the banner of "noble and great", but they often oppressed the ordinary people they claimed to be saving. They formed in groups, carrying knives and guns, and terrorizing the villagers. The common people hated and feared them. Turning their noses up at the justice they want to deliver.

Of course, Qiu J also admits the weakness of the people, and the people who are willing to make a revolution and are not afraid of life and death, can they still be called the people? Moreover, even now, most people in China are still ordinary people. Does the revolution depend on those charlatans?

The answer is clearly no. Qiu J has confirmed this, and she believes that only a revolutionary army with strict discipline, ideals, enthusiasm, purpose, and leadership can have the hope for the success of the revolution. Moreover, this hope is growing and getting closer and closer to success.

Tengchong, Longling, and other counties were taken lightly by the revolutionary army one after another, and the western Yunnan Military Region basically completed its deployment plan across the Nu River and Baoshan Mountain. The expansion of the territory and the increase in the population of the Guangfu area. Finally, the western Yunnan Military Region was able to carry out administrative work, and the western Yunnan military region was almost able to ensure self-sufficiency in food.

This is the base area, and with what you can see intuitively, Qiu J really understands the significance of it. If they do not occupy and operate unsteadily, how can the rogue armed forces be supported by the people, and how can they be willing to pay taxes and food? As for the army, because it has a base area, it can rest and train, and the wounded also have an environment to recuperate with peace of mind.

A burst of laughter like a silver bell interrupted Qiu J's thoughts. Two female soldiers of the ambulance team turned around from the mountain road and came to her with a fresh and innocent atmosphere.

"Sister Qiu. The hot spring was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep. A female soldier's cheeks were flushed, as if she had been smeared with rouge, her hair was still wet, and the crystal droplets of water shone in the sunlight, as if her head was full of pearls.

"Can you come back more often in the future?" Another female soldier asked with a smile: "With the strength of the troops." Can the Qing army still fight? ”

"If the Qing army doesn't come, we will fight it too." Qiu Ji took off the towel, wiped the female soldier's hair, and said with a smile: "If the hospital is located here, you can stay." You don't have to go with the army anymore. ”

"That's not good." The round-faced female soldier shook her head, "It's better to follow the troops to recover more places, until the overthrow of the Manchu Qing is even more exciting." ”

"Yes, when I returned to China from Nanyang, I wanted to participate in and witness this vigorous revolutionary cause, and it was not the intention of others to stay behind." Another female soldier chimed in.

"Then you should bring the newly recruited medical staff, those minority women, I think there is no shortage of clever people." Accompanied by these two female soldiers, Qiu J walked slowly down the mountain, saying as he walked: "The troops are expanding too fast, and the medical staff are disproportionate to them. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary not only to build temporary military academies but also medical schools in the base areas to train more medical personnel. From a psychological point of view, female doctors are more suitable. ”

"It's true." The round-faced female soldier nodded again and again, "Men, needless to say, the clumsy ones." As for those wounded, they have to save face in front of the female doctors, pretend to be manly, and dare not scream loudly despite the pain! ”

"Headquarters will also support some medical staff, right?" The female soldier with a melon seed face paused and said, "Well, if you have a difficulty, you have to find a way to solve it yourself, and the headquarters is thousands of miles away, and it is not very convenient." However, there are really capable people in our revival meeting, and that Qingsong juice can indeed cure malaria. It would be even better if it could be refined and turned into tablets or injections. ”

"The headquarters is already doing its best." Qiu J sighed softly, "Have you calculated, how much do we need for food every day for the troops of the Western Yunnan Military Region?" The headquarters not only provided weapons, ammunition, food, cold air, but also chloroquine and other medicines, and now it is not easy to dig out the prescription of Qingsong juice! ”

"If you want to talk about the revolutionary party, it must be the strongest and most talented people in our revival society." The round-faced girl puffed up her chest proudly, "Sister Qiu, you must have seen the big names in our revival meeting, right?" Mr. Song, Mr. Chen, Mr. Wu...... What do they all look like? Old? ”

"I've only met Mr. Chen." Qiu J said with a smile: "The beard is unkempt, but it's nothing special. As for Mr. Song, it was published in the newspaper, and he was very calm and knowledgeable. ”

"Mr. Song is a great revolutionary and a leader; Mr. Wu is a military strategist and strategist; Mr. Chen should be more comprehensive, long-sleeved and good at dancing. The round-faced female soldier made a conclusion based on her impression, "Anyway, they are all very powerful characters." But if you want to know the true face of Lushan, I think I am afraid that we will have to wait until the success of the revolution. ”

"This is just an estimate and conjecture, I don't think we have to wait for the revolution to succeed, as long as the revolutionary army fights a situation, the core leaders will come to take charge." The melon-faced girl is also imagining, but there is some truth.

"yes. It's just the beginning. Qiu J returned the salute to the soldiers on the side of the road and said, "Let's hurry up, Deputy Commander Yang will probably come back today, don't be late for the welcome ceremony." ”

The ancient city of Tengchong is not large, and the survey after the occupation also shows that it is not the best way to defend it. As a barrier to the ancient city of Tengchong to Fengshan. It's too small to garrison too many troops. And once Laifengshan is occupied by the enemy, Tengchong City will be surrounded on all sides.

Therefore, the revolutionary army in western Yunnan used the turbulent Nu River in the north and the Gaoligong Mountain at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters as two natural barriers to protect Tengchong. As long as a number of checkpoints are set up at the steep pass of Gaoligong Mountain, and the Qing army is blocked according to the danger, it will be difficult for the Qing army to attack here. Moreover, in two or three months, the rainy season will arrive. According to locals, the width of the Nu River's water surface will suddenly rise to more than 400 meters. Moreover, the water flow was turbulent, and the post road in the mountains was even more slippery and difficult to walk, and the Qing army had no way to attack.

The deputy commander Yang Wenkai led 1,000 men and horses to Gaoligong Mountain and the south bank of the Nu River to reconnoiter and build fortifications. The base area had just been established, and the enemy in the north was not a cause for concern for the time being, and even if the Qing troops were transferred from Sichuan, they would not pose a serious threat. The main direction of the battle of the revolutionary army in southwest Yunnan will be to the east, that is, the main force of the Qing army that occupied southern Yunnan. Even if the Qing army does not come to attack for the time being. The troops should also cooperate with the friendly forces in Guangxi to attack and harass the Qing army.

In addition to climbing the attack road of Gaoligong Mountain. The Qing army could also choose a circuitous offensive route that took a long time and was a long route. It is to go south along the Nu River first, cross the river by the old ferry port of the ancient post road (where the Huitong Bridge is located), cross the Songshan Mountain, take the Longling, and then attack Tengchong in the north.

The revolutionary army also set aside a unit to garrison Songshan. Closely monitoring the old ferry crossing, so that the Qing army will make a detour to attack, it will also be a lot of resistance.

Although Qiu J hurried back, Yang Wenkai didn't rush back with dozens of guards until near dusk, and he didn't even care about resting, so he immediately held a military discussion.

"Gaoligong Mountain has a high altitude. The terrain is dangerous, and it is indeed a natural barrier. After preliminary surveys, five blocking positions have been set up, and the fighters are stepping up the construction of fortifications......"

The danger of Gaoligong Mountain is unusual, God has left the steepest side cut to the west bank of the Nujiang River, where almost everywhere is steep, everywhere is not towering. The easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack hilltop clamped the ancient road like pincers, and if there were troops holding on, it was obviously a very difficult task for the enemy to easily break through and advance to Tengchong.

Yang Wenkai pointed on the map and gave a detailed description of the general situation of several blocking positions.

Gray slope, not an inch of grass grows, thousands of meters of height, more than 70 degrees of steep straight dirt road, more than half a foot thick floating soil, hence the name. And the small horizontal ditch is located in the gray slope mountain beam, is from Yunlong through Lichaidu or from Yongchang through Menggudu to Tengchong two ancient roads of the intersection of the two ancient roads, for the soldiers must defend the place.

Attacking from the back on such terrain would be a chilling nightmare for the Qing army. If it rains a little more, the floating soil that is more than half a foot thick will all turn into cement, how can the Qing army attack this deadly gray slope? Crawling and rolling in the half-foot-deep thin cement, stepping on it is as smooth as oil, but it is stickier than glue when you pull it out. On the steep slope, under the rain of bullets, you have to take care of your feet, if you are not careful, as long as you fall, stumble and slide all the way, you will definitely die.

It was extremely dangerous, and when I thought about it, my scalp was numb, and I suddenly felt powerless. In his introduction, Yang Wenkai was very glad that his side was on defense, and he didn't have to play with this thick floating soil or deadly cement.

The Nansai Mansion is named after the ancient Zhai Gong (Taoist priest) who built a house here to rescue pedestrians and is located in the south of the Hokusai Mansion, with an altitude of about 3,400 meters, and is a dangerous pass from Yunlong or Baoshan to Tengchong Ancient Road to climb the Gaoligong Mountain. Yakou crosses the main vein of Gaoligong Mountain in the west-east direction, the dangerous rocks at both ends are towering, the thousand-year-old road twists and turns between the cliffs, the danger is full of dangers, there is the trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open".

If you want to break through the Nansai public house, attacking along the main line of the ancient road is one way; From the south wing of Xiaoxinzhai and Manghei Hetou through Xinlutou to Ligong Mountain, around the dam and Jiang Tho behind the side of Nansai Gongfang is another way. For this reason, the revolutionary army organized two more lines of defense on the southern flank, relying on danger to block the attack.

After the introduction and explanation of the dangerous positions such as Gray Slope, Qiaotou, Lengshuigou, and Hokusai Public House, Yang Wenkai continued to talk about the precautions for defense, "According to the locals and newly recruited native soldiers, in the rainy season, Gaoligong Mountain is almost a Jedi. It rained continuously, and the temperature dropped sharply. At the top of the mountain at high altitude, wet clothes stuck to the body, it was really cold to the bone. In other words, although we have the advantage of defending, whether we can hold it or not, I think the key lies in whether the logistics materials are abundant. Food, dry firewood, warm clothing and bedding are all indispensable. ”

"This is the advantage of field surveys, asking more questions and listening more, who would have thought that fighting in this warm and spring-like climate would have to prepare something to protect against the cold?" Although Commander-in-Chief Long Jiguang is a native of Yunnan, he obviously does not know the specific situation in southwest Yunnan, especially Gaoligong Mountain, and after listening to the narration, he can't help but sigh a little, "Then according to Deputy Commander Yang's observation, how many troops should our army leave for defense is more appropriate?" ”

"Two battalions and 600 people are enough to stay in Gaoligong Mountain, but logistics must be guaranteed; Matsuyama had three battalions, and more than a thousand people were enough to resist. Yang Wenkai said with more certainty: "Moreover, the troops sent can choose more recruits, after all, it will be easier to defend, and if the enemy does not come, there will also be time for training." ”

"Then our army can dispatch more than 3,000 horses, either to resist the attack of the Qing army in the east, or to take the initiative to attack to contain the Qing army and reduce the pressure on the friendly forces in Guangxi." Chief of Staff Zong Shaohua said in a deep voice: "The original plan was to capture Baoshan, but it was adjusted considering that the rainy season was approaching and it was not easy to support across the Nu River. Since the north is safe, is our army centered on Lincang and turned to central Yunnan to expand? ”

"I think so." Qiu J agreed, "It not only expands to central Yunnan, but also makes it more convenient to cooperate with friendly forces to fight or harass and contain the enemy, and it also makes the Longling and Tengchong areas a hinterland, and the border government is safer." ”

"I agree." Long Jiguang nodded and said, "If everyone has no opinion, I think it would be more appropriate for Deputy Commander Yang to personally inspect the situation in Gaoligong Mountain and Nujiang River, so it would be more appropriate for him to be in charge of defensive operations and protect the border district government; As for the main force, turn to Lincang, or north or west, and take the initiative to attack. Chief of Staff, you are responsible for drawing up plans and asking for instructions from the headquarters; Deputy Commander Qiu can take the lead in the immediate mobilization of troops and make preparations for Lincang. ”

"That's pretty much the way it works." Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Zong Shaohua said: "I will immediately make a plan and report to the headquarters for instructions." ”
