Chapter 58: Layout
"Blow the trumpet!" Lu Hu ordered, he saw the situation below clearly from the telescope, the enemy army fell into chaos, and the bandit army actually scattered the main force of the Qing army!
"Didi click", the charge horn sounded, Le Fei jumped out, he felt numb in the trench, as soon as the charge horn sounded, he rushed out, running and installing bayonets. The comrades-in-arms followed, Dong Dashan inserted the three magazines behind his waist, held the handle of the gun in his right hand, and held the handle above the barrel in his left hand, and the last one rushed out.
More than 3,000 soldiers recuperated like tigers descending from the mountain, unstoppable. Le Fei ran left and right on the battlefield, jumping over corpses and other obstacles from time to time, and in less than two minutes he ran to the foot of the mountain, and more than 100 meters in front of him was the fleeing bandits, he ran for a while and crouched down and fired a shot, and the distance between him and the enemy became farther and farther away. Lu Hu chased the soldiers for a while, the bandits scattered and fled into the mountains and forests on both sides, and the Qing soldiers fled too fast, and in a blink of an eye, they ran over a distance of one thousand meters and entered the Qing army camp. Lu Hu looked at it for a while and could only retreat helplessly, the Qing army camp was ready to defend, and the place was too big, there were too many people, and he only had more than 3,000 people, so he couldn't take risks.
Lü Hu ordered to build improvised trenches on the spot to transport supplies, and the news of the confrontation with the Qing army camp was transmitted back to Lü Liang's side. The main forces of the Qing army have been pinned down and can carry out operations.
"Now I declare that the Guangdong independence operation has officially begun! Lü Mao led the special combat team and the third regiment of the First Brigade to infiltrate the city of Guangzhou, and the Second Brigade launched an attack on time at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow to capture Guangzhou. The 3rd Brigade took a truck, detoured to the rear of the main Qing army in Heyuan, and coordinated to surround them, as long as they were trapped for the time being, and then deal with those Qing troops after taking control of Guangzhou. Lu Yi and other genetic officers replied in unison.
"Old man Wu, it's still too late to quit, or you'll really get on a boat!" Lu Liang turned to Wu Shimin and said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, I haven't seen any scenes in the old man, this time I am determined to do it with you!" Wu Shimin said categorically.
"Well, I have made a wide invitation, and I will have a banquet for the gentry and wealthy merchants who work with us tomorrow evening, and a showdown will be held at that time. Then ask Mr. Wu to help me a few more words, the general trend is inevitable, if there are really people who can't open their eyes, we have to endure the pain and cut our love. Wu Shimin nodded and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. This is a rebellion, failure is a great crime of the Nine Clans, and there is a little excitement in his heart - once he succeeds, it will be terrible, and the possibility of success is very high, he has seen military factories and military training, which is the decisive factor in his final decision.
"Lu Er, the speed of army expansion can be accelerated, it is impossible for nearly 30,000 people in three brigades to control Guangzhou, and we also have to deal with the attack of the Qing army and the possible interference of foreign powers. I decided that the 123rd Brigade would be reorganized into the First Division of the Guangdong Revolutionary Army and that the Second Division of the Revolutionary Army should be immediately formed, and the two would be collectively called the First Army of the Guangdong Revolutionary Army. ”
Lu Liang crossed his hands and carefully considered what else was missing, after Guangdong's independence, the business of the light factories would definitely be affected, and this was not difficult to solve, as long as the various trade routes were opened, they would definitely be able to be shipped out. He picked up the detailed plan of action handed over to him by the General Staff Office and read it again, the military action plan, the maintenance of order after the occupation of Guangzhou, the announcement of the revolutionary army's telegram, the propaganda of the revolutionary purpose and concept, the basic foreign policy, the contact with advanced people at home and abroad, and so on, as well as the land policy, economic policy, education, justice, and the formation of administrative institutions after independence. It can be said that it is the greatest guarantee for the success of the revolution.
Orders were transmitted from the center of Huizhou Haifeng through wired telephones and wireless telegraphy. Truckloads of supplies were also transported to various places in large quantities, and the army entered a state of combat readiness. Lu Liang was no longer satisfied with Heyuan's small fights, and his steps were still a little bigger.
For a long time, everyone thought that Lu Liang was an industrialist, a Westerner, and a very wealthy businessman with a foreign background. Such a big businessman and landlord will not arouse the vigilance of the outside world, but will despise him, and even want to seize his wealth. As for the security regiment in Lu Liang's hands, who doesn't have dozens or even thousands of gunman bodyguards? Nothing! What they can't see is that this security regiment is already a regular army of more than 30,000 people in three brigades, with advanced training and equipment, and more than one-third of these soldiers are soldiers who have experienced actual combat, as well as a large number of genetic officers.
"Uncle, what's going on, why do I see so many people with guns?" On the railway construction site, ten miles north of Guangzhou, Xianjiang asked Wang Laoer. Wang Xianjiang has had a comfortable year since he went home, and then returned to the construction team with his uncle, along with more than 30 strong laborers in the village. Soaking in the paddy fields can earn a lot of money a year, you see that Wang Lao Er and Xianjiang's kid brought back a lot of silver dollars during the New Year!
Usually you can see gun-wielding guards on the construction site, usually no more than 20 of them, and they are a group training to prevent bandits. But today is a little unusual, there is a black patch on the construction site, and there are army-green bicycles, and there are a lot of things in the back. Xianjiang is young, interested in those things, and wants to watch it for a while, but there is already an overseer who has asked not to see it, Wang Lao Er hurriedly pulled it, and whispered to Xianjiang: "Rabbit cub, don't want to live anymore?" The overseer is too good to you, isn't it, let's do our job, don't care! ”
Xianjiang hurriedly lowered his head and worked, the work on the railway was very tiring, more tiring than repairing the gray road, but no matter how tired he was, he couldn't stop his curiosity. He stole a glance and saw the men carrying their bicycles back and forth, all of them in makeshift sheds. As I say, I repaired several sheds yesterday, and they were originally prepared for them.
It is said to be infiltrating, but in fact, there is no obstruction. The special combat team led by Lu Mao and the Third Regiment of the First Brigade entered Guangzhou City in batches in civilian clothes, and the weapons and equipment were transported by the transport team of the Ziqiang Chamber of Commerce. The guns and ammunition were covered in the carriage and swaggered into the city. On that day, the soldiers rested in the pre-prepared houses in groups and waited for the next day's action.
Lu Da, the commander of the Second Brigade, accompanied Lu Liang to look at Guangzhou City from afar, the First Regiment and the Third Regiment of the Second Brigade were responsible for the sneak attack on the front, and the Second Regiment was responsible for capturing Xiushan. The task of the Second Regiment is the most critical, because the city of Guangzhou is built on Xiushan, which is the commanding height of Guangzhou, and only by occupying Xiushan can it be regarded as truly controlling the city of Guangzhou. A section of the front city wall of Guangzhou was demolished, this is a few years ago, the Westernists proposed to build a road for the convenience of transportation, and asked to demolish the city wall, and later received the obstruction of the merchants, they thought that after the city wall was demolished, the government would go deep into the territory they operated, so they harassed the demolition personnel from time to time. After the establishment of the Ziqiang Chamber of Commerce, Lu Liang once again proposed to demolish the city wall, build a gray road and a light rail railway, this time encountered twists and turns, a large number of engineers participated in the demolition of the east, south, west three directions of several hundred meters each. This military operation provided convenience, after all, it would take some time to bombard the city gates with explosives and artillery.
Lü Yi stayed in Haifeng, and Lü Liang acted with the Second Brigade, and he listened to Lü Da's report in the headquarters of the Second Brigade. The 2nd Brigade, nominally the Guangzhou Industrial Zone Security Regiment, was initially scattered in various factories and temporarily remained in the barracks after being assembled. The headquarters of the Second Brigade is located in the Guangzhou Silk Reeling Factory, which is an enterprise controlled by Lu Liang, and the internal high-level employees are also completely served by genetic people, which is a temporary base with the best secrecy.
"There are 1,300 Green Battalion and Eight Banner soldiers in Guangzhou City, commanded by Langya's general soldier Duo Ershan, and the Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Yamen also have more than 300 armed forces, as well as an unknown number of errand soldiers, armed bodyguards, and so on. Xiushan, a military stronghold, was garrisoned by 500 men, not only with the ancient city wall as a cover, but also with three 37-mm field guns. Lu Da described the information gathered in his hands one by one, and he led the Second Brigade to be stationed in Guangzhou for more than three months, and he was very familiar with the situation here.
"Prepare according to the plan of action, I will go back to Huizhou tonight for dinner, and then I will meet you here." After listening to this, Lu Liang said to Lu Da.
