Chapter 123: Revolutionary, Assassination, Ambush
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the numbness and rigidity of the people was a fact for all to see. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is of course a sad and helpless thing, but as the great revolutionary Song Fuhua said, the blood of martyrs will not be shed in vain, and the lives of martyrs are like matches polished at night.
With the outbreak and deepening of the Wanning Uprising, a book entitled "The Great Revolutionary Song Fuhua" was first published in Tokyo and quickly spread throughout the country and Nanyang. Obviously, this was a propaganda campaign that had been brewing and preparing for a long time, and the media at the disposal of the Revival Society were even more numerous articles about the experiences and ideological theories of the great revolutionaries, and they did not hesitate to praise them with great praise.
"What is righteousness? What is bravery? What is the male? What is a martyr? What is a state? What is selfishness? What is a nation? What is an individual? What's first? What's next? ”
“…… The people's morale is becoming more and more aggrieved, and the common people have the courage to fight privately and are timid in public war. The Wanning Uprising, which destroyed the withering and decaying, shook the deaf and deaf, and this battle was really to explore the conscience of the Chinese nation and promote the righteousness of Haoran. Our people should be awakened from their sleep and numbness when they are shocked by this thunder and lightning...... Or our people will still dwell in the 'iron house', and the blood of the martyrs will be blown away by the rain and wind. But once, twice, and several times after the bloody Central Plains, the cold earth can finally emit a star of spring. ”
As Song Fuhua said, although there are numb people in China, but under the turmoil of the times, there are also many revolutionary aspirants who throw their heads lightly for the sake of their ideals. They may be simple, they may be naïve, they may be outright idealists, but they are light, they are lightning, they are transient but incomparably gorgeous. Countless young people have burned out their entire lives in a short life. There is no turning back for the ideal. Until sacrifice.
Although it is not to the taste of some radical revolutionaries, his view of the problem is far-reaching, and the rationality of dividing the revolution into overthrow and construction still attracts the attention of the vast number of revolutionaries.
Now is not the time for people to just realize that there is a need for revolution. Revolution is not a new word, but how to make a revolution has become a more important question. There is more than one road, everyone has the right to choose, and the great revolutionary Song Fuhua also has the power to show the banner and act as a guiding light.
Overthrow the autocratic imperial court, form a five-ethnic republican government, develop industry and commerce, popularize education, improve the legal system, and enrich the country and strengthen the army. Ploughing has its fields...... Newspapers and media began to publish them, and the path of revolution gradually became clear. Whether you like it or not, the strategy of the Great Revolutionaries is quite concrete and complete, much stronger than radical and superficial slogans.
What's more, there is the full support of the strong and united Revival Association behind them, as well as the achievements of the Wanning Uprising. If you want to say that the republic of the five ethnic groups of the great revolutionaries is not as happy as the radicals who are full of people, but they are doing practical things, and what qualifications do revolutionaries have to accuse them with their mouths?
Republic, Republic! The Revival Society clearly proposed a state-building form of government. This seems to be a clear line with the constitutionalists, but the constitutional ideals they hold are the same. And a relatively moderate position. The Revival Society and the Constitutionalists are not incompatible, but also have a basis for seeking common ground while reserving differences.
In Tokyo, the first stop of the great revolutionary Song Fuhua's lecture tour, the news was repeatedly published in the newspapers and media, the date had been set, and the venue had been chosen. International students are looking forward to seeing the true face of the great revolutionaries and discussing the true meaning of the revolution. The salute as a welcome was the resurgence of the Wanning Uprising and the bombing and death of the Guangzhou general Chengxun.
……………
Guangzhou.
The sky was clear, and sparse white clouds floated gently in the air like scales. The streets are full of people. It was as lively and busy as ever.
When a gong sounded, pedestrians hurried to speed up their pace or find a place to avoid it. The shouts followed, and a green sedan chair, escorted by heavily loaded flag soldiers, walked along the street, and the wolf-like soldiers sounded gongs and shouted in front.
The gong opened the way, and the official was the official sedan chair of General Chengxun in Guangzhou. According to the Qing system, the rank of the general of Guangzhou was the same as that of the governor of Liangguang, but the status was higher than that of the governor of Guangzhou, and the green battalion soldiers of the whole province were subject to the control of the general of Guangzhou. However, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, under the internal and external attacks of the Western powers and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Manchu Eight Banners completely lost their combat effectiveness, and the official order they carried also fell apart, and the status of the Guangzhou general declined. Even so, in name and officially, the Manchurian Canton general still maintained great prestige.
Swaggering through the market, is it tantamount to inserting a bid to sell the first? In He Ji's shop, Wang Xiaoxu listened to the sound of the gong getting closer and closer, smiled coldly, raised his chin, and signaled the team members to get ready.
On the eaves of the building facing the street, a mechanism made of wooden planks, as soon as the rope is pulled, four bombs will roll down the street, covering a distance of more than ten meters. In other words, Feng Shan and his entourage were among the kills, in order to avoid the difficulty of evacuating later.
The current killer regiment, it should be said that the Special Operations Department is no longer the original assassination regiment. Not only are the weapons and equipment complete, but they have also undergone relatively professional training. And the assassination operation has also been planned for a long time, whether it is Fengshan, Zhang Renjun, or Li Zhun, they are all on the list. It's just that killing high-ranking officials is now more powerful, and it is also good for Chen Wenqiang's development plan.
Seong-hoon sat in the sedan chair and didn't realize that death was approaching, he was either thinking that he would leave office soon, or thinking that his wife and concubine at home were unknown in history, but because of his race and official position, he became the target of assassination by the Revival Society, and he was really wronged.
The sound of gongs and shouts was getting closer and closer, and the sedan chair and the guards had just arrived at He Kee's shop, when after a strange sound, four bombs fell from the sky and fell to the ground with wisps of green smoke. Before the flag soldiers and officers could see what it was, the bomb had already exploded.
Boom, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, no, more deafening and more amazing than a thunderbolt. Sawdust, dirt, and stones flew up, smoke rose, and the official sedan chair was surrounded and almost invisible. Several flag soldiers were overthrown by the air wave like scarecrows, and those who were close were torn to pieces, and in an instant, the scene was full of wrecks and wails.
Inside He Ji's shop, the dust on the roof was shaken and fell, and the ears of Wang Xiaoxu and others were buzzing, but they did not delay, they came out of the back door one after another, and disappeared into the streets and alleys of Guangzhou.
Seongxun's official bridge was blown to pieces, and he didn't just die. The retinue also suffered heavy casualties. When the officials sent by Zhang Renjun arrived at the scene, they saw more than a dozen corpses charred and unrecognizable, and it took a long time to recognize Chengxun's body.
From planning, execution, to retreat, it was a perfect assassination. The deterrent power of bombs is better than that of guns, from Tie Liang to Cheng Xun, and the successive stabbing of high-ranking officials is full. It also responded forcefully to the suspicion that the revival society was weak.
The aim was moderate and far-sighted, but the action was decisive, ruthless, and sophisticated, which caused more and more revolutionaries to change their initial impressions, re-study the program, purpose, discipline, and strategy of the Renaissance Society, and redefine the revolutionary group. Competitors, on the other hand, have begun to re-examine and assess the strength of the Renaissance Society and readjust their strategies.
……………..
Wanlingdong, Qiongzhong County, Hainan.
Liu Yongdian reined in the horse's head and looked around at the terrain with a monocular. It's not sinister, but it's true that it's bad for you. But he didn't think that the team of rebels could have much combat effectiveness and dare to confront his patrol battalion.
Starting from Qiongya (Haikou), before arriving at Qionghai, the chaotic people have been frightened and wandered to Qiongzhong; The Qing army sent a sentry to "recover" Qionghai, and the rest of the troops diverted to Qiongzhong to kill; In Zhongping Town, east of the county seat of Qiongzhong, the first confrontation with the bandits finally took place, and the battle lasted less than three hours, and more than 300 bandits fled by different routes.
These signs. and the process of the battle, which made Liu Yongdian have a wrong judgment. Actually, I don't blame him. How did he know that the rebels were supported by weapons and equipment; How did he know that there was a long-trained army with hidden minions, waiting for him to be trapped. In his mind, the bandits defeated in Zhongping Town were the enemy's elite soldiers or main force, because these guys all had guns in their hands, which was also more in line with normal estimates.
The main force of the enemy has been routed, and the thousands of bandits are mobs organized with sticks, knives and guns. No matter how bad the patrol battalion is, it can't deal with them? Based on this understanding, Liu Yongdian boldly divided his troops, and the three patrol battalions pursued and routed the enemy in the south, north, and west, and then rendezvoused in the county seat.
is in such a hurry to catch up, and Liu Yongdian has his own reasons. He was not worried about the bandits coming to fight, but he was worried about the bandits running into the mountains and forests. If that is the case, I don't know how long the work of suppressing bandits will have to be delayed, and how hard it will be for the patrol battalion to search and suppress the bandits in the mountains and forests.
The error of judgment and the eagerness to destroy the enemy finally made Liu Yongdian fall into the trap designed by Wu Luzhen. The ambush of preparedness against unpreparedness began on the way of the Qing army.
A sudden gunshot rang out, and before the Qing army could react, Liu Yongdian had already turned over and fallen off his horse. Several guards surrounded and came to the rescue, but the man was already dead. The bullet passed through his chest, and the boss behind him had a bloody hole, and his eyes that had lost their luster looked at the sky vacantly.
Two Maxim machine guns suddenly emerged from the shelter and rang out like a storm, and the two fiery snakes struck the Qing army like whips. In the column of smoke stirred up by bullets on the ground, the Qing soldiers who were caught off guard fell convulsively. Hundreds of rifles rang out, and bullets chirped through the air and shot at the chaotic Qing army.
This was different from the battle at Zhongping Town, which the Qing army quickly realized. Not only the ferocity of the Maxim machine gun, but also the accuracy of the rifle shooting. In Zhongping Town, the frequency of shooting of bandits is also very high, but most of them are blind and urgent, more lively than killed, and they are novices at first glance. But now it is different, and the composure of the enemy's shooting can be clearly felt.
"Withdraw, withdraw." A sentry shouted loudly and instructed the guards to carry Liu Yongdian's body on a horse, "Withdraw to Zhongping Town, withdraw ......"
There was no need for him to shout, the Qing soldiers had already begun to retreat in panic, and corpses in thorn coats were everywhere, lying on the battlefield. The gunfire was still fierce, but there was little resistance from the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers, who gave their backs to the enemy, kept falling on the way to retreat.
The Qing army besieged more than 400 people, and this was not a miscellaneous army composed of a party, but a real revolutionary army composed of enthusiastic young people who were not afraid of death for their ideals. Among them, there are young intellectuals in China, international students, and overseas Chinese. After quite regular military training, coupled with the spiritual will to treat death for the country and the nation, even against many enemies, he has the courage to fight and fight.
The trumpet sounded, "Rush, kill!" The shouts echoed over the battlefield like stormy waves. The officers brandished box cannons, and the soldiers swooped down on the Qing army with their shiny bayonets, like waves of the sea.
Before automatic weapons became the common equipment of soldiers, rifle shooting coupled with white-knuckle charging was a very normal way of playing on the battlefield. Rifle shooting is relatively easy to master, the enemy is far away, the psychological pressure is small, even if you are a novice, you can almost shoot bullets. The white-edged charge or white-knuckle combat is different, and it is the most important test of the courage of the warrior and the strength of the army.
Bayonet fighting is different from martial arts competitions, many times it is to hedge each other with rifles with bayonets, and solve each other in a split second, or be solved by the other party yourself. The process was bloody and brutal, and it was by no means a psychological pressure that ordinary soldiers could withstand.
"Kill!" The sound of the bayonet entering the flesh was terrifying, but the roar was even louder, and Wen Shengcai kicked away the corpse of the Qing soldier and rushed towards the next enemy with the blood-stained bayonet.
"Kill!" Fu Changsuo slashed the axe at the back of the head of a fleeing Qing soldier, and the hand holding the axe felt the reaction force of the skull, but it still cracked.
The wave-like front rushed upward, drowning the Qing soldiers, crushing their last fighting spirit, retreating into collapse, collapse into flight again. No one dared to stop, no one was willing to turn around and resist, and even the gun became a burden to escape and was abandoned.
Although the patrol battalion in Qiongzhou is a regular army, it has not experienced any battles, and its morale and equipment are also very average. If you deal with the people who have just picked up the gun, there is no problem, but against the people who dare to fight hard, it is not necessarily a sure chance of victory. Against the revolutionary army, defeat was already doomed.
This is what a little bit of a strong army looks like! Wu Luzhen held the binoculars and put them down for a long time. The victory was expected, the Qiongzhou patrol battalion was only a third-rate unit, and the formation of the new army robbed the last resources and money, so that the patrol battalion did not even have a machine gun. The revolutionary army, which has experienced the test of actual combat and seen blood, has been raised to a higher level. If you add it to the artillery,
The report quickly interrupted Wu Luzhen's hope, and Liu Yongdian was killed, which surprised him with some unexpected news. Now that it's bigger, can Lao Chen still turn around? Thinking of this, Wu Luzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly.
