The meeting lasted until just over one o'clock in the afternoon, without even a pause for lunch. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The general operational principle, the principle and policy of recruiting and expanding troops, the operation of base areas, the method of separating military and government administration, and the wireless telegraph communication with the General Headquarters...... Chen Wenqiang spoke as detailed and thorough as possible, and perhaps there are some differences in personal understanding and some mistakes in implementation, but this is also unavoidable.

As long as the revolutionary army does not suffer very heavy losses, a small defeat can be tolerated, and may even become a valuable experience and lesson. After all, no one is reborn as a god of war and can be undefeated in a hundred battles.

As soon as the meeting ended, the operational preparations for the surprise attack on Qinzhou had been made, and after eating a mouthful of food indiscriminately, Ge Zhichu set off with seven companies and escorted Song Dingyuan straight to Qinzhou.

And Chen Wenqiang is still sitting in Fangcheng and arranging arrangements. A company of soldiers escorted the supplies to the bases outside the border by the mobilized Vietnamese and the people of the occupied areas, while the rest of the men were responsible for the defense of the city and monitored the movements in the sea outside the port.

"The internal line and the external line are necessary, one is containment, the second is echoing, and the third is continuous influence in the country." Chen Wenqiang summoned Wang Heshun and several staff officers and began to explain another important task, "In the 100,000 mountains, we must keep an army and fight the enemy, this is the inner line." As for the outer line, it is the main force of the revolutionary army in Vietnam. The two divisions can fight independently or in tandem. As for the internal front troops, they can also be withdrawn to rest and recuperate when the situation is tense or when they suffer setbacks. ”

Seeing Chen Wenqiang set his eyes on himself, Wang Heshun understood a little in his heart that he was a native of his hometown, familiar with geography, and familiar with people. Although the rebellion he led had failed, some of them survived. Therefore, the headquarters probably took a fancy to itself as the candidate for this internal line unit.

"The subordinates are willing to be in the inner line troops. This is the hometown of the subordinates, familiar with the terrain and terrain, and has a little reputation, maybe it can be some convenience. Wang Heshun took the initiative to ask for help, but the words he said were modest and tentative.

"The inside line is harder than the outside line!"

"Subordinates are not afraid."

The corners of Chen Wenqiang's mouth pursed. He smiled and said, "The opinion of the headquarters is for you to lead the inner line detachment and move to the 100,000 mountains, after all, from all aspects, you are the most suitable person." It's very good that you can take the initiative to ask for help. Say, if you have any requirements, I can try my best to meet them on behalf of the headquarters. ”

"I, I don't ask for anything." Wang Heshun shook his head. Said cautiously: "The officers and men of the revolutionary army are all good, much stronger than my rabble at the beginning. ”

"If you don't say it, then I'll tell you." Chen Wenqiang smiled slightly, and said solemnly: "Wang Heshun is hereby appointed as the head of the Gui Provincial Advance Detachment, with the rank of captain, and can be called a general to the outside world, so as to strengthen his momentum. Wang's detachment was organized into three squadrons with a number of 300 soldiers. Arbitrarily selected by the detachment leader Wang Heshun in the revolutionary army; There were two squadrons of spears in the three squadrons, each armed with two machine guns; A squadron of short guns. All were armed with Mauser pistols; In addition, 200 long guns and 100 short guns were drawn, and 50,000 yuan was raised for the recruitment and expansion of Wang's detachment; Half of the official rations captured in Fangcheng will be used for the military rations of Wang's detachment......"

That's a lot of money, a lot of support. The people are the elite of the selection, and there are all kinds of weapons and equipment, ammunition and materials, money, food and grass, and it is said that there are 300 people, but there are guns that have doubled all at once......

Under Chen Wenqiang's smiling gaze. Wang Heshun was in a stirred mood, sat up and bowed to receive the order, and said angrily: "Please rest assured that the headquarters, please rest assured that Executive Committee Chen will definitely complete the task." I'd rather die than retreat to the base, these 100,000 mountains are the place where my Wang Mou is buried. ”

"That's right-" Chen Wenqiang got up and waved his hand, signaling Wang Heshun to come to the map, and Wen Yan said: "Don't think that such a great support means that you must persist in the 100,000 mountains. Didn't we just say that we should take self-preservation as the first priority, whether to fight or withdraw, whether to hide or to evade, and depending on the specific situation, we must be flexible and adaptable, do not be rigid, and still less bear the burden because of the support of the headquarters. ”

Pointing to the map, Chen Wenqiang continued: "Establishing a Wang detachment and relying on 100,000 mountains to fight the enemy is not to leave you alone. Here, it is a base in Vietnam, and it may move to the territory of the country in the future; As for the Wang detachment, it should first be active in this area and echo and cooperate with the Vietnamese base. The inner line and the outer line are a whole, not independent, and the Wang detachment is not fighting alone. ”

100,000 mountains, located in the west of Guangxi, from Guitai Town, Qinzhou City in the east, to the Sino-Vietnamese border in the west, distributed in Qinzhou, Fangcheng, Shangsi and Ningming and other places. Because the mountains are continuous, the peaks and peaks overlap, the points are not clear, and the numbers are endless, so it is called 100,000 mountains.

Chen Wenqiang was referring to Qinzhou, Fangcheng, Shangsi and Ningming, which are close to this part of Vietnam and not far from the Vietnamese base. Wang Heshun nodded, in this way, not only is it safer, but this is the place where he once led the Wuming Righteous Army to activities, and the geography and cultural situation are very familiar.

"Before you launched the poor peasants and the Hui Party to revolt against the Qing Dynasty, I know a little about the process of fighting for several years, killing corrupt officials and eliminating bullies, which is very popular with the people; When the Qing army came to encircle and suppress, it could lure the enemy to go deeper, gather and annihilate it, and turn to the Quartet, so that the Qing army was tired and fought with great aura. Chen Wenqiang patted Wang Heshun's arm, pulled him to sit down, and said earnestly: "This time I will lead the army to fight again, the good ones must be maintained and carried forward, and the deficiencies must be improved." I'm talking about conscription and expansion, not just trying to outnumber the people, but also being strong and strong, I want muscles, not fat. There is a lot of fat, people's hearts are complicated, it is difficult to manage, and it affects the flexibility of action. ”

"I see." Wang Heshun nodded a little ashamedly and said, "Although I was born in the party, I now know the weaknesses of the party. If it weren't for the fact that some of the leaders of the Hui Party were not strong-willed, unbearable, and even thought that they could be knighted, the uprising would not have been defeated by the combination of the government's suppression. ”

"I'm glad you know that." Chen Wenqiang nodded with a smile and said, "For those friends in the rivers and lakes, you don't have a dark face, and they all refuse to be outside." Educate them, reform them, guide them, and make them true revolutionaries, not free and loose wanderers. The headquarters also assigned a lot of government affairs, propaganda and other cadres to the Wang detachment, as well as a staff group to reduce your work burden, and I hope it can be your help. ”

"With these cadres here, I can concentrate on fighting the war and expanding the troops." Wang Heshun smiled sincerely. "I'm a rough person, and it's a real headache for me to talk about such trivial things."

"You are the first advance detachment sent by the revolutionary army, and there will be advance detachments from southern Yunnan and western Guangdong in the future, all of which depend on the performance of your Wang detachment, and your experience and lessons are precious. It will provide a very useful and favorable reference and reference for other fraternal forces. Do you have the confidence to become a living teaching material for the revolutionary army and become the most powerful unit of the revolutionary army? Chen Wenqiang pointed his finger around, these will be the backbone of Wang's detachment, and it is necessary to encourage and teach them.

In the chorus of everyone, Chen Wenqiang beckoned to the orderly, and the flags, seals, swords and other items were quickly placed on the table.

"The first advance of the revolutionary army, the ...... of the generals" Chen Wenqiang pointed one by one, and said with a smile: "How about it, this name is loud enough." Powerful enough, right? ”

Facing Wang Heshun and others, who nodded again and again, Chen Wenqiang teased again: "You have to fight hard and turn the detachment into a brigade, that's the ability." Don't turn the detachment into a squadron and a squad, this general, this advance army is not worthy of the name! ”

"Executive Committee Member Chen. You can rest assured, and please rest assured that headquarters. The banner of this march will not be lost in our hands. Wang Heshun immediately stood up straight and solemnly assured.

……………

The five executive committees of the Renaissance Association, Song Fuhua, Chen Wenqiang, Wu Luzhen, Cai Yuanpei, and Yang Dusheng, except for Song Fuhua, who appeared under his real name, the other four all used pseudonyms. And just before the grand launch of the revolutionary leader Song Fuhua, Chen Sheng's name became famous at home and abroad for his assassination of Tie Liang. Compared with Song Fuhua, a great revolutionary. Chen Sheng's reputation is more inclined to killing, and it is more full of iron-blooded meaning.

The surprise attack on Qinzhou was successful, the revolutionary army won two good starts, and Song Dingyuan, who offered his advice, also saved his own life and his family, and the news was transmitted to Qiongzhou through the airwaves. Then turn to Tokyo. The revival meeting was launched again, and the revolutionary army went down to Fangcheng and Qinzhou, killing Wang Hu of Qinlian Dao, and the Qing army suffered hundreds of casualties and surrendered nearly 1,000.

The revolutionary army that started the uprising was obviously not satisfied with this, and on the one hand issued proclamations of the uprising: "Letter to the Compatriots of Gui Province", "Letter to the People of the Whole Country", "Letter to the Overseas Compatriots" and "Proclamation of the Surrender of Manchu Soldiers", propagating the program of the Renaissance Society, declaring the purpose of the uprising, and enumerating the sins of the Qing government; On the one hand, he continued to attack by choosing a weakness, easily captured the two small cities of Hengzhou and Yongchun, and gathered troops to attack Lingshan County.

Boom, boom, boom, cannonballs exploded outside the city walls and gates, kicking up clouds of black smoke.

"This Liu Yongde is really determined to revolution?" Ge Zhichu still couldn't believe it, and glanced at Chen Wenqiang in surprise, but this was a real performance, and he took the Liufengshan Fort with more than 60 revolutionary soldiers.

Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly, raised the binoculars, and watched the movements of the Qing army guarding the city. It was his ability to select Liu Yongde from among the many generals who were vying to "join the revolution," and it also avoided mixing in a large number of speculative elements at the beginning of the incident, which was of great benefit to his actions in the future.

The artillery is getting more and more accurate, and the artillery trained at the Qiongzhou base is obviously gradually adapting to and becoming familiar with the old-fashioned artillery on this battery. Although the artillery is old, it is also a cannon, so it will be smashed down one cannon after another, and see how long the army can hold out.

The two mountain cannons were also set up, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed directly at the city gate. But Chen Wenqiang felt that it seemed that he was not needed, and looked at what the Qing soldiers on the city had become.

Behind the revolutionary army, hundreds of young people were watching and exclaiming, from time to time. Around them, there were carts, large baskets, or wheelbarrows, loaded with the baggage of the revolutionary army. After that, there were thousands of convoys of people.

It's the same convoy, but it's very different. Hundreds of young men and women signed up to join the army, and it was Chen Wenqiang's suggestion to select qualified recruits and let them serve as the transport team first. A clockwork gun is a soldier, and he is not in favor of that. And all the way to the transport, not only test the physical strength, but also test the mind, whether to sincerely join the revolutionary army, or want to mix rice and salary, you can see after a long time. Those who are afraid of hardship and don't want to do it will be eliminated naturally; Those who follow with an iron heart and have undergone military training are the real soldiers of the revolutionary army.

The other people are paid by the day, purely to make money. Of course, it is not excluded that the recruits will quit and go to be the people who receive foot fees; It is not excluded that the people who came to make money before were enthusiastic and came to join the army.

Boom, everyone invariably let out a chorus of exclamation. The fire burst out from the city, and the dilapidated city gate tower collapsed in the smoke of gunpowder, and the smoke and dust were even greater, covering the entire city.

When the line of sight gradually became clear, Chen Wenqiang and others suddenly found that the Qing army on the city wall was gone. The gates were shattered, and the bricks and stones were everywhere, and the streets of the city could be seen through the gates.

What's going on? Did you run away, or did you hide in the city and fight in the streets? Chen Wenqiang shook his head and quickly rejected the latter speculation. Patrol battalion, I really haven't heard of such tenacity and toughness. Attacking the defense of the city and attacking Qinzhou, it can be seen that these guys can only bully the common people, or beat the stragglers who have more people and fewer guns, and when they encounter the revolutionary army with complete equipment and high morale, basically except for the sass, they are "joining the revolution".

"Send a squad to reconnoitre." Chen Wenqiang turned his head and ordered, "Let them be more careful." ”

Just when a reconnaissance squad was cautiously approaching the South City Gate, outside the North City, Song Anshu, the pipe leader, was leading his patrol battalion to "turn in" and rush in the direction of Nanning. Among the "transferred" team were the Lingshan County Commander and his dependents, who fled in a hurry in a carriage.

In fact, just before the revolutionary army arrived in Lingshan County, Song Anshu felt unambiguous and sent a sentry out of the city, but he didn't expect to be beaten by the revolutionary army's forward with a single charge. When the revolutionary army brigade arrived, Song Anshu was intimidated by the momentum of the revolutionary army, fully equipped, neatly dressed, and with a large number of men and horses, with his more than 300 rabble, it is estimated that nine times out of ten it will be enough. When the Liufengshan Fort was taken and the shells came over one after another, Song Anshu could be said to have made a quick decision and immediately led the army to "turn in". He was still more interesting, and he didn't forget to send someone to inform the county order that was sitting in the county office stupidly waiting for the good news.

Damn*, this revolutionary army is menacing, Fangcheng and Qinzhou have been lost, is Lingshan more solid and deep than them? Anyway, Lao Tzu ran out with people and horses, better than those guys who were stewed by the revolutionary army, right?

The patrol battalion of the Qing court was formed by selecting the sturdy of the old green battalion and the brave battalion, recruiting and recruiting people, and its nature was to defend the place, similar to the police security team. Although the patrol battalion has also undergone some new training and has been issued with new weapons, the members of the patrol battalion have come from different sources, and most of the officers leading the troops are old military attaches or alternates, and they have no knowledge of the new military knowledge. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the patrol battalion was very low and became nominal.

At that time, the Qing court had not yet issued the task of organizing and training new armies in various provinces, and Guangxi had not yet begun to organize and train new armies. This is also the reason why the League was able to successfully launch uprisings in Guangxi and Yunnan in history, and it was able to continue for a long time and have a certain political impact when it joined hands with You Yong and the Hui Party armed forces.

Historically, the factor that stimulated Guangxi to start training the new army was the Zhennanguan Uprising launched by the League. During the battle, more than 100 volunteers captured the Zhennanguan Fort, confronted the thousands of Qing troops who came after for several days, annihilated more than 200 enemies, and only killed two people. The Qing court was very shocked by such "results" and issued a "special order" to Guangxi to step up the formation and training of the new army.

At present, the strength of the revolutionary army is strong, its morale is high, and it has successively conquered several cities and scattered patrol battalions all over the place, which will undoubtedly speed up the formation and training of the new army in Guangxi. But that is a matter of the future, and if it is to confront the revolutionary army head-on, the Qing army will have to rely on the strength of the outnumbered people. (To be continued.) )
