Chapter 80 Stew Section 3 Defend the City
Back in the courtyard of the station, the soldiers were excited to idle, gathering in groups to discuss, and also comparing simulated movements.
Breakfast is cold in the house, the cooking class in the courtyard of the stove room to heat up the porridge soup, wotou cake is not afraid of cold, broken porridge to eat fast, Guo Jiabaozi sent the meal, the most interesting is a pot of pickles, pickled pimple pickles, cut slices, our team lacks salt stars, see pickles and see meat is the same pro, people don't eat salt and no spirit!
After eating, the most important thing should be done, visiting Mr. Guo and inspecting the cottage, but Yang Bangzi didn't rush to do these two things, but pulled Lao Feng alone to find an empty room and close the door and chat.
After a few bags of cigarettes, he opened the door and called the telecommunications team over, the antenna was erected on the roof, and the hand-cranked generator was also clattered.
The soldiers have nothing to do, so the big ones came over and asked Yang Stick what to do? Yang Bangzi was frowning and sitting in front of the radio, and said three sentences angrily: "Send out a row of people to patrol around the cottage in an hour, and a few of you leaders will go to the east to observe the enemy's situation, and the others will practice aiming and fists and kicks in the courtyard." ”
The chief is not in a good mood, so don't bother, what should you do when you get an order.
Guess what Yang stick does? He asked Lao Feng first, what kind of detail is this Guo Jiabaozi? But Lao Feng doesn't know much, it's all useless on the surface, this is not Yang Bangzi simply contacted the military region through the radio, and he wants to find out what kind of background this old Mr. Guo is?
I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it! Although he is not a big man with hands and eyes. But back then, he was also a surprising figure!
No wonder Commander Huang and the others have always been respectful to this old gentleman. No wonder Yang Bangzi led people to borrow food. People don't care about you, and they don't let you in, in the eyes of Mr. Guo, Yang Stick is not qualified!
Yang Bangzi hasn't been born yet, and when his parents were still children, they were important members of the Alliance! In the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu (1902), Yuan Shikai set up the Army Crash School and the General Ben School in Baoding, and Mr. Guo was one of the instructors!
Yang Bangzi's parents were engaged to the thirty-third year of Guangxu (1907 AD), and he was a major member of the Tianjin and Zhili League. The backbone elements of the League headed by Chen Youyun and Mr. Guo Lao founded Yude Middle School in Baoding to train young advanced elements and serve as the organ of the Hebei Provincial League.
When Yang Bangzi was six years old and herded cattle for the landlord's family with his bare buttocks, in the sixth year of the Republic of China (1917 AD), Yude Middle School opened a work-study preparatory class for studying in France, and Mr. Guo donated 50,000 oceans. Attention! With this money to stay abroad, Li Weihan and Li Fuchun in our party are the students of the first class, and Liu Shaoqi is the student of the second class!
With this qualification, even the important leaders of our party have to call out "sir" when they see people, what is the commander of your small sub-district in the eyes of others?
Qualifications can't be compared. Is it better than the military line?
We won't go into detail when the previous anti-Qing and Beiyang warlords were fighting, Mr. Guo returned home with the rank of lieutenant general!
After Mr. Guo retired to his hometown. also did one thing, Yang Bangzi didn't want to overshadow others in the limelight in history in his life! Speaking of this, we have to mention another person first.
Fu Zuoyi knows it, a capable general is also a brave general! Don't think that you won't fight the war and sacrifice the fame of Beiping City, Chairman Mao wrote to Fu Zuoyi in his handwritten letter of persuasion that year mentioned a place name, Zhuozhou, which is not a big city now, but in history, especially in the history of the Republic of China, it is very famous! It is also the place where General Fu Zuoyi became famous!
The Republic of China before the 37-year Anti-Japanese War, it was basically a warlord separation, today you beat me, tomorrow you will change the banner and beat him again, among the princes of all walks of life, large and small, by 1928, there were gradually so many people left, Feng, Zhi, Anhui and so on. In cooperation with our party, the Southern National Army began the Northern Expedition, and it was against this background that the Battle of Zhuozhou, the four major city defense battles of the Republic of China, broke out.
The Republic of China has four famous generals who defend the city, all of which appeared before and after the Northern Expedition of the National Revolution. Jiang Shijie guarded Xinyang, Liu Yuchun guarded Wuchang, Yang Hucheng guarded Xi'an, and Fu Zuoyi guarded Zhuozhou. They are all isolated cities, and the weak enemy is strong, at least more than a month, and at most three months. At that time, it was all a beautiful talk in military circles.
It's just that Jiang Shijie and Liu Yuchun were short-lived, and then they didn't do anything, but Yang Hucheng and Fu Zuoyi both became famous generals because of defending the city, among them, among the four famous generals who defended the city, the smallest city guarded was Zhuozhou, and the biggest movement at that time was also the offensive and defensive battle of Zhuozhou.
Zhuozhou is a small city, about 3 miles long from north to south, less than 3 miles wide from east to west, but because of the Gongwei Jingshi, the city wall is very thick and very high, about three zhang high. The city is small, so there are not many people, and there are only about 1,000 residents, similar to a large village on the North China Plain.
In September 1927, the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army kicked off again, and the heavy troops of the six armies were directly pressed towards the Feng warlords. Zhang Zuolin was caught off guard, and hurriedly dispatched Zhang Zuoxiang's elite division to defend Zhuozhou City, and rushed to the front line, leaving an empty city waiting for Wang Yizhe's troops to come to take over. And Zhuozhou is the strategic hub connecting the north-south passage of the Feng army, and Zhang Zuolin can send his own descendant Zhang Zuoxiang to defend, which also shows how much he attaches importance to Zhuozhou.
At that time, Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the 4th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, was on a guard duty in the vicinity of Wei County, and after receiving this information, he immediately reacted and decided to seize Zhuozhou City by surprise in order to cut off the rear route of the Feng army, so as to help the National Revolutionary Army achieve the goal of completely annihilating the Feng army.
Before the action, I sent someone to Guojiabaozi, west of the city, to find someone, who is it? It is Mr. Guo, who has retired, the old man is almost sixty years old, and he is caring for the elderly at home, but his eldest son and Fu Zuoyi are both classmates of the Baoding Military Academy, and they are still serving in Yan Xishan's Jin Army at this time.
Mr. Guo is disgusted with the career in the army because he hates the people brought about by the warlord melee, and returns to his hometown to strengthen Guo's fort, recruit troops and horses, and protect the livelihood of the people in a territory, this time he got the news that Fu Zuoyi was going to march into Zhuozhou, and immediately sent his cronies to lead the way for Fu Jun, and he personally led the elite family to disguise himself into Zhuozhou City.
Fu Zuoyi led his troops under the guidance of the guide sent by Mr. Guo, from the deserted Jiugongkou area, over the mountains and mountains, and marched for 6 days, straight into the city of Zhuozhou, Feng Jun was not aware of it, because the road taken by Fu Jun was poor mountains and bad waters, and almost no one entered and exited.
Therefore, the Feng army did not deploy a single soldier in the southwest area of Zhuozhou. At the same time that the vanguard entered the city from the north gate occupied by Mr. Guo and them, it happened that the receiving troops of Wang Yizhe of the Feng army also happened to enter from the south gate, and the two armies suddenly met on the north and south streets of the city, because the Feng army was defenseless, and soon, the Fu army captured Zhuozhou.
In this battle, Mr. Guo went out to guide the troops to sneak into the city secretly, and took the city gate when the army arrived, which can be described as an outstanding achievement, but more exciting is still to come!
Although Fu Zuoyi fought a beautiful battle unexpectedly, several National Revolutionary Army troops on the frontal battlefield were all defeated by the Feng army, and even Yin Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, was captured by the Feng army. This is broken, the city of Zhuozhou occupied by Fu Zuoyi soon became a lonely city hundreds of miles deep into the hinterland of the Fengjun army, and there was no possibility of exiting.
After the Feng army succeeded on the frontal battlefield, they immediately mobilized a large army to besiege the city of Zhuozhou. Zhang Zuolin also personally commanded in the sky by plane, and even used the most advanced weapons and tanks at that time, but as a result, he attacked for several days in a row, suffered heavy damage, and was unable to take a step forward in the city.
After besieging Zhuozhou, from mid-October to the end of December 1927, Feng's army carried out a total of 9 general attacks. The use of airplanes, artillery, tanks, and poison gas bombs, the use of climbing the city, the use of explosives to blast open the city walls, and the use of workers to dig coal in the Mentougou of Beijing to dig tunnels into the city all failed.
Fengjun's plane dropped bombs and leaflets on Zhuozhou City, and Zhang Xueliang personally took the plane to go around Zhuozhou City. Zou Zuohua, the artillery commander of the Feng army, personally mobilized the heavy artillery of the Feng army and almost flattened the city of Zhuozhou, but it was impossible to attack it. There was no way, the commander-in-chief Wan Fulin also transferred the 36 French-made tanks that were guarded by the Feng army, but half of them were damaged, and the weapons and ammunition on the tanks were also dismantled by the Jin army.
