Chapter 33 The people who died were all members of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party
There are more than a dozen people in Wei Changqing's dormitory, who are the core force he controls, but they are all new cadets who have just entered the school for a few months, and they do not hold any positions in the cadet brigade, and they cannot mobilize troops or riot without positions.
"With just a few of us, isn't the strength too thin?" Some people questioned it.
"Yes, most of the people in the Cadet Brigade are loyal to Chen Zikun, and it is difficult for us to convince them." Someone else is worried.
Wei Changqing said confidently: "We can use the name of the Qing monarch to say that Chen Zikun is deceived by the bad guys, so that we can mobilize the majority of people, there are more than 1,000 rifles in the arsenal of the military academy, which is enough for us to use, and when the time comes, we will occupy the Governor's Office, learn from the predecessors of the Paris Commune, and fight street battles with reactionary soldiers, Chen Zikun's hardcore force is only the White Russian soldiers hired for money, and the first and second divisions are composed of poor people, and we can win their support." ”
"And then?" Someone asked.
And then ...... There will always be a way, trust the organization. Wei Changqing said firmly
Everyone nodded solemnly.
"Alright, disband." Wei Changqing sent everyone away, leaving only the two most hardcore assistants.
"Old Wei, for such a big thing as the riot, do you want to ask the special commission?" An assistant asked.
"It's too late, besides, Secretary Zheng will definitely approve, I am responsible for this matter, there is no need to discuss it anymore." Wei Changqing couldn't help but say it and made a conclusion.
……
That night, in the dormitory of the military academy, the mournful whistle broke the silence, and the sleeping cadets got up in a hurry, quickly put on their military uniforms, stepped on their military shoes, tied their belts, and walked out of the dormitory in a queue.
Outside the torches were blazing, Wei Changqing stood in front with a hideous face, a bayonet pinned to his waist, looked around at the soldiers, and said sharply: "There are bad people around Supervisor Chen, blinding him, as a soldier, what should we do!" ”
Behind him, a group of murderous cadets with torches shouted: "Soldiers! Soldiers! ”
Wei Changqing said: "Rush into the military arsenal, arm yourself, and surround the superintendent's office, brothers, follow me!" With that, he drew his bayonet, turned and walked away.
After taking two steps and stopping, the imaginary situation did not appear, and the students did not move, looking at Wei Changqing and the others in shock.
Wei Changqing shouted again: "Brothers, follow me!" ”
There is still no one moving, under the light of the torches, there are confused and stunned faces, the daytime parade has made them faintly uneasy, and now there are people who want warships, the marshal can say, without a military order, it is a mutiny to dispatch a squad, is Wei Changqing going to lead everyone to mutiny?
It's a bit nonsense to say that Da Shuai was blinded by bad guys, Da Shuai is not the kind of stupid old man, but a strong general who is less than thirty years old, who can blind him? I didn't believe it when I killed these students.
"What are you calling?" A loud shout came, and Chen Shuangxi, the commander of the cadet brigade, came to the scene surrounded by more than a dozen heavily armed horses, with shiny riding boots, bright red collar badges, and heroic faces, which made people awe-inspired.
Shuangxi is a lieutenant in the army, and he is also the commander of the cadet brigade, he is a bandit, xìng is straightforward, righteous, although the education level is not high, but he has great prestige in the cadet soldiers, which Wei Changqing cannot compare.
There was a deathly silence, no one answered the brigade commander's question, only the sound of torches beeping and burning, and Wei Changqing quietly hid the bayonet on his waist behind him.
Shuangxi glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Changqing, and said contemptuously: "What do you want to do?" Rushing to the arsenal? Want to play with guns in the middle of the night? Don't worry, there's something for you to play, all of them! Listen to me and stand upright! ”
The sound of brushing your heels together.
"Take a breath, command! The cadet brigade will gather at half past five tomorrow morning, receive guns and bullets, and rush to the battlefield to suppress bandits. ”
It's going to war! Everyone's mood boiled.
Shuangxi glanced at Wei Changqing: "Scholars are also soldiers, you are all college students, and you are all college students, so you can only be conniving, and whoever dares to disobey military orders on the battlefield will be shot and killed!" ”
After that, he turned around with the horses, and when he walked out of the gate of the military academy, he could vaguely see the neatly arranged gendarmerie outside.
Wei Changqing felt that he was sweating on his back, his every move was under the control of others, and it was really ridiculous to think about armed riots.
Early in the morning, after the cadet brigade was assembled, the school did not issue them the old sleeves they were used to practice, but pulled out a cartload of wooden boxes printed with foreign characters from the arsenal of the battalion, which contained brand-new American-made M1917 rifles, 30 bullets per person, a bayonet, and two grenades.
When he received the firearm, Wei Changqing was stuffed with a note in his hand, and he hid in the team and secretly glanced at it, which turned out to be written by Zheng Zeru, secretary of the special committee, who seriously criticized his behavior and ordered him not to act rashly.
Wei Changqing's face was blue, and he chewed the note and swallowed it.
……
There are more than 1,000 bandits killed from eastern Henan, and the composition is very complicated, including the remnants of the Zhensong Army and the Second National Army, as well as members of the Red Gun Society, and even the remnants of the White Wolf many years ago.
The army drove to the edge of a village that had been sacked by the bandits, the village no longer existed, all the houses were burned, only the bricks and tiles remained, the wells were filled with dead cats and dead dogs, the houses were full of old and weak people who had been killed, the rogues only wrapped up young men and women, and the others were a burden to them.
The soldiers collected and buried the corpses in the village, the smell of blood and the tragic condition of the corpses made many people vomit, and the veterans of the Seventh Mixed Brigade were even more indignant and scolded.
The Liukou coerced a large number of people, and their whereabouts flickered left and right, east and west, if the infantry tracked, they would definitely be dizzy, but the Jiangdong Army had an air force, several planes took turns to reconnoiter the whereabouts of the Liukou, and reported to the ground troops in time, and the strongest Cossack cavalry attacked and intercepted, intercepting the Liukou, and the Chashik saber flew up and down, hacking more than 200 bandits to death on the spot, and the rest retreated into a nearby fortress and resisted stubbornly, and the cavalry lacked the ability to attack the fortifications, so they had to wander around the vicinity to prevent the Liukou from breaking through.
The infantry followed and killed, surrounded the fortress, this fortress is called Zhujiazhai, which was originally a village built by the local heroes to prevent bandits, but unexpectedly it became a barrier for the rogue to fight against the official army.
The stockade has a trench, an earthen wall, a wooden fence, easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with the bandits' marksmanship, the Jiangdong Army has been repulsed several times, and the veterans of the 7th Mixed Brigade will no longer go up, saying that they will wait for the artillery to come.
The artillery team is still dozens of miles away, and the Jiangdong Army is equipped with a lot of 75-caliber Krupp field guns, and it is perfect to bombard this kind of civil fortress, but time waits for no one, and the shrill screams of women and the unbridled savage laughter of the rogues are heard from the stockade, mixed with one or two gunshots.
The students were indignant and asked for battle, but Chen Shou, who led the team to suppress the bandits, disagreed, saying that the marshal had explained, you are all college students, life is valuable, just see blood, fight, or let.
The military order is like a mountain, and the soldiers have to stand still, but every minute, there are innocent people in the village who are killed by the rogues, but as soldiers, they can't do anything, which makes them extremely angry, but Commander Chen is also kind, and rushes forward, isn't that a target for bandits.
It was raining, the fog was foggy, the dirt roads in the countryside were muddy, the artillery team was delayed, Chen Shou was in a hurry, and the rear communications corps came to report, saying that the artillery team was stuck in the mud and would not be able to arrive for a while.
When the news broke, the cadets were even more indignant.
The slaughter in the stockade continued, the people were still suffering, and the Jiangdong army was still waiting for artillery support, when suddenly, a soldier stood up, did not hold a gun, held a bundle of grenades, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Brothers, follow me!" As he spoke, he lunged forward.
The bandits on the wall were stunned, and they forgot to shoot for a while, and the thousands of Jiangdong troops hiding behind the ridge were also stunned.
Rushing up was the student soldier of the Jiangdong Army Military Academy, he took the lead in running forward wildly, and ran out for dozens of meters, and the people behind came to their senses, a shout, and the students rushed out of the trench dug temporarily with bayonets, and the black pressure was pressed to Zhujiazhai.
The rogues opened fire, and the bullets splashed clouds of smoke and dust on the ground, and the first student soldier to rush out miraculously rushed to the wall in the face of a rain of bullets, and threw a grenade bundle over, and when he threw the bomb, he was hit by a dozen bullets in the chest, and he flew upside down.
The grenade beam exploded, the wall of the village broke a big hole, the rogues were still fighting, and one by one the students fell on the road of the charge, Chen Shou was anxious, these student dolls were handsome baby bumps, he pulled out the command knife and shouted: "Up!" ”
All the soldiers of the 7th Mixed Brigade did not talk about the rules and regulations of the war, loaded their bayonets, and rushed over like a mountain of roars, and thousands of people trampled on the earth and made a deafening sound, which made the rogues tremble, and how could they have the courage to resist.
The rogues were wiped out, and none of them escaped, and Chen Shou ordered all the bandits to pour kerosene on the sky lanterns to avenge the dead people and the sacrificed soldiers.
……
A few hours after the war, Supervisor Chen arrived at the Zhujiazhai battlefield, the air was still filled with the smell of roast meat, and dozens of corpses were parked on the empty threshing floor, all wrapped in white cloth, neatly arranged.
Chen Shou and Shuangxi led Chen Zikun to a corpse, and gently lifted the white cloth, revealing a knife face.
"He is Wei Changqing, the guy who made trouble, attacked Zhujiazhai, he took the lead in blowing up the wall, and died of eighteen bullets, he is a man."
Shuangxi pointed to the rows of corpses and said: "Dashuai, the people who rushed to the front are basically dead, they are all ** members and Kuomintang members." ”
Chen Zikun stood upright, slowly raised his hand to his forehead, and saluted a standard military salute, and the adjutants behind him also saluted solemnly, and the threshing floor was gloomy.
