20. Capture Huizhou
While Ye Ju and Yang Kunru continued to plan how to hold on to Fang Benren's help, Luo Yiqun, another mansion in Huizhou City, was also talking secretly with Luo Fengxiang.
"Yigong, I already know what Commander Jiang means, let me think about this matter again." Luo Fengxiang thought about it again and again, but still couldn't make up his mind. "If Commander Jiang is willing to accept General Dabo's surrender, Feng Xiang is sure that he can convince General Dabo and Chief of Staff Ye."
"Brother Guanyu, do you think General Dabo will do something to be sorry for Chen Jingcun? General Dabo has Chen Jingcun in his hand today
Unplugged. General Dabo wants to be Guan Yunchang, and we don't want to be Cao Mengde. Luo Yiqun smiled and said: "I also know that Brother Guanyu, you and General Dabo are like brothers, and you can't bear to go against each other, but Brother Guanyu has not thought about it, with the 10,000 people under General Dabo, can you defend this lonely city in Huizhou?" Can't it be that Brother Guanyu is also counting on half of Jiangxi Benren's division? ”
Wu Peifu's aid to Fujian and Guangdong was not fully developed, and he took the 12th Beiyang Division stationed in Jiangxi and split it into two, Zhou Yinren led a mixed brigade and Sun Chuanfang's 2nd Beiyang Division with more than 7,000 people to aid Fujian, and Fang Benren led another mixed brigade of the 12th Division to aid Guangdong. Now there are 70,000 or 80,000 troops loyal to Sun Yat-sen in Guangdong, and Wu Peifu sent a brigade of more than 3,000 people to make meat buns for beating dogs?
Thinking of Wu Peifu's "aid to Guangdong", Luo Fengxiang had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head. "Brother Yichen, it's not that I don't agree to you, but General Dabo treats me well, and I can't be an ungrateful villain."
"Jiegong's 30,000 army is about to come to the city, and what will happen to General Dabo of Huizhou when he defeats him? He said that he was going to attack the presidential palace with his troops, and Jiegong couldn't wait to eat its flesh raw! Brother Guanyu, you are deeply favored by General Dabo, and when the time comes, you will prepare a pair of excellent longevity materials for General Dabo, and don't forget to burn paper money on incense every year in the future! ”
Luo Yiqun's words were like a knife, cutting Luo Fengxiang's heart with a knife, and Luo Fengxiang's heart was shocked. "Brother Yichen, why do things have to be done like this? General Dabo just listened to Shuai Jing's words to scare Mr. Sun, and he didn't really want to take Mr. Sun's surname. ”
"Brother Guanyu, as long as you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light this time, I, Luo Yiqun, can assure you of the safety of General Dabo's life, private property and freedom of movement, even if General Dabo wants to go to Hong Kong to defect to Chen Jingcun." Luo Yiqun patted his chest to ensure Yang Kunru's safety, in fact, he could do it. Chiang Kai-shek was not so ruthless to eat Yang Kunru, but Luo Yiqun's nephew wanted to treat Yang Kunru as a meat ticket.
Hearing this, Luo Fengxiang finally relieved: "Okay, but I can still mobilize Zhong Ziting, the commander of the Second Brigade, and you also have to give him a division commander, so that Huizhou City does not need to be done by your department, we will solve it ourselves, and we also need to be stationed in the territory to ensure military salaries, and Huizhou is better to be stationed by us." ”
"Alas, Jiegong is determined to dig out Chen Jiongming's roots this time, even if there is no tile left in Huizhou, he will not hesitate to do it! So I can't agree to your request, a division plus 200,000 oceans is our bottom line, if you want territory, Jiegong can recommend you to Ru Shuai, Ru Shuai has opened a world in Fujian, and we Guangdong villagers need to help in the past. Luo Yiqun paused and said: "You are persuading Ziting, the division commander will also give it to Rushuai when he arrives in Fujian, if he runs out of strength here, then there will be nothing." ”
Thinking of being able to serve under Xu Chongzhi, Luo Fengxiang showed a smile on his face, Chen Jiongming is the big guy in the Guangdong army, Xu Chongzhi is the second brother, and now that the big guy has fallen, the second brother is naturally the big guy. Being able to follow Xu Chongzhi to Fujian to fight the world is naturally stronger than being angry under Chiang Kai-shek, thinking of this, Luo Fengxiang nodded and agreed: "Okay, a word is a deal!" Yigong, just wait for our good news! I will be able to hand over Huizhou City to you in three days at most, but before that, I will have to trouble Jiegong to lead troops to besiege the city and put a little pressure on Brother Ziting. ”
On January 22, 1923, Chiang Kai-shek personally led 30,000 people of the First Army of the East Road Thief Army to cross the Xizhi River and advance to the Nantangkou line in the south of Huizhou City. In the face of the pressure of Chiang Kai-shek's army, Yang Kunru thought twice and decided to give up the natural danger of Fei'e Ling, concentrate all his forces in Huizhou City, and prepare to rely on the strong walls of Huizhou City to resist to the end, so as to win a glimmer of life.
On January 23, when it was discovered that Yang Kunru had abandoned Fei'e Ridge and was not defending, Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered Luo Yaoguo to lead the 15th Brigade to occupy the Moth Ridge to build a position, and also deployed Qian Dajun's artillery regiment to Fei Goose Ridge, preparing to bombard targets in Huizhou City from a high position.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Shells kept falling near the west gate of Huizhou, and the point of impact was getting closer and closer to the city gate
"Brother Ziting, they are testing the city, it seems that Chiang Kai-shek will attack the city tomorrow at the latest, what do you think of what I said?" Near the West Gate is the headquarters of Zhong Ziting, the commander of Yang Kunru's Second Brigade, who happened to be sent to defend the West Gate and would bear the main pressure of the thief army.
"Boom!" A cannonball finally hit the gate tower of the west city accurately, the old brick and wood building could not withstand the bombardment of modern artillery, half of the wooden building of the city gate tower collapsed, and the remaining half also ignited a raging fire. Fortunately, the defenders on the gate tower have moved ahead of time, but when the enemy attacks tomorrow, will they still have a chance to go down to the city to avoid the shells?
"Alas, General Dabo's loyalty will surely be passed on to future generations, and you and I will look like white-faced annihilators on the stage in the future." Zhong Ziting looked at the Huibo Lou Theater in the distance, as if he had seen the story of his betrayal and glory being interpreted here over and over again.
Luo Fengxiang shook his head nonchalantly and said, "Brother Ziting, what are you thinking?" In the future, Premier Sun will win the world, and you and I will be the heroes of the founding of the country! General Dabo's loyalty is at most nothing more than foolish loyalty to Chen Jingshuai. ”
"Oh, Brother Guanyu is so confident in Sun Yat-sen? This Wu Peifu is not so easy to deal with. "It's not that Zhong Ziting doesn't want to be a founding hero, it's just that the current revolutionary situation is sluggish.
"Okay, Brother Ziting, you don't have to think so much. Anyway, it is Premier Sun, Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin who may win the championship now, and it will definitely not be Chen Jingshuai's turn. Speaking of Jing Shuai, it is also a pity, last year today is still Premier Sun's right-hand man, in the future the prime minister is gone, he is our leader, maybe the one who sits on the chair in Yanjing City is Jing Shuai, but now Jing Shuai is already a lost dog. Jing Shuai is out, we still have to play, and we have to be the founding heroes, we can't let Jing Shuai pull us back again! ”
"Jing Shuai is out, and the future revolutionary leader doesn't know if his surname is Jiang or Xu? Thinking of the face surnamed Jiang, Lao Tzu wanted to fight with him! Listening to Zhong Ziting's tone, he also looked down on Chiang Kai-shek's **oss.
"Forget it, forget it, the surname Jiang is always better than the surname Wu, the surname Jiang always has to take care of our food, and the surname Wu can't wait to pull us to shoot the target! Only Jing Shuai would want to go out and cooperate with Wu Peifu. If Wu Peifu really unifies the Central Plains, where will there be a place for us in the corner of Guangdong? Luo Fengxiang always felt a little sorry when he thought of Chen Jiongming's actions, how could this big guy not understand such a simple thing?
"Okay, okay, this annihilation I Zhong someone did it!" Thinking of the cannonball that would hit his head tomorrow, Zhong Ziting gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to make a revolution. "Tonight, General Dabo is going to accompany Chief of Staff Ye to Huibo Tower to listen to the play, so let's do it there. After the matter is completed, I will go to Fujian with you to vote for Ru Shuai, so as not to see Chiang Kai-shek's face! ”
Yang Kunru and Ye Ju are also counting a day now, and no one knows if there will be a tomorrow, so they can still hear it and come to Huibo Lou to listen to their favorite traditional Cantonese drama. At that time, there were no computers or televisions in China, and the entertainment activities were not only the theater, but also the Shangji Academy.
"General Dabo, how sure are you that you can hold it tomorrow?" Ye Ju is not as open as Yang Kunru, and his heart is on Fei'e Ridge in the theater.
"Brother Ruoqing, what else do you want not to wear now? You and I have been greatly favored by the competition commander, all these years on power, money, and profit, which point of the competition is missing us? Now it's time to repay. Yang Kunru took a sip of tea calmly, continued to hum a Cantonese tune, and watched the big drama, without seeing any sadness.
Ye Ju still couldn't let go, looked at the Xicheng Tower that was destroyed by the fire, sighed and asked, "How is the morale of the brothers?" It seems that the surname Jiang is going to attack tomorrow, do you think you want to cheer up the brothers? Also, will the brigade commanders and regiment commanders in the city have a second heart? ”
"I hope a few of them are smarter, I, Yang Kunru, have received the great favor of Jing Shuai, and I should be a fool of myself, but the brothers are just a mess of food and clothing, if a few of them can save a surname for the brothers. Alas, if it was Xu Ru who came this time, I could still keep some seeds for Jing Shuai, but that Chiang Kai-shek, hmph, he is now like Liu Xuande, who has been poor for half his life, will he let go of Jing Shuai's foundation? ”
"What!" Listening to Yang Kunru's words, Ye Ju stood up suddenly. "O my Dabo General! When is this all right, don't you joke anymore, okay? The knife is already on the neck! Ye Ju made a head-killing gesture with his palm. You also said that Chiang Kai-shek was not Xu Ruwei, he would be so easy to speak? We've led troops to attack the Presidential Palace! He's going to kill us! Have you forgotten Tao Huanqing! ”
"Ruoqing, don't worry, we are not a commander, and the surname Jiang is now the commander of an army, he will not set such a precedent, who knows if he himself has any bad luck one day?" Yang Kunru knew that a few of his little brothers would help talk, so he wasn't worried at all.
At this moment, the sound of noisy shouting came from downstairs in Huibo, mixed with the sound of fighting and gunfire
"What are you doing! The army commander and the chief of staff are watching the play on it! What are you from? ”
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
"No one is allowed to move!"
