When they heard the news of the armed mutiny in Nanchang, the dignitaries of the Wuhan Kuomintang government did not take it seriously. Although the situation in the country is now settled, the security in some areas still needs to be improved, not to mention that there are many warlords in the Beiyang period, although most of them went to do the apartment, but there is still a person who can't bear to be lonely, although compared with the Beiyang meeting, there will not be so frequent changes of presidents and marshals, but there are still old warlords who jump out every once in a while, so there are often some armed mutinies in various places, and the parliamentarians know that these are normal phenomena.

In addition, the team of this riot was only one regiment, which is even more fearless. So when the people below reported this matter to Wang Jingwei, he briefly inquired about the situation and said, "Transfer it to the people of the National Defense Military Commission."

On the second day, newspapers in Wuhan and Nanjing did not even report the news, and only a small number of newspapers reported the incident with tofu cubes in the supplement, which shows their attitude towards the matter.

Huang Ke, who was far away in Nanjing, hurriedly called Cui Wu after learning of the incident and asked him about the latest situation ahead, but was told that Cui Wu had gone to the Nanchang front line to personally supervise the battle.

A small regimental mutiny requires a general of Cui Wu's level to supervise the battle, which shows what a difficult bone this is, Huang Ke couldn't help sighing, and after a while, he stood up and said, "Prepare the car, go to the reserve cadre." ”

When Huang Ke was looking for Cui Wu on the phone, Cui Wu had already rushed to Nanchang from Wuhan. The Nanchang area belongs to the area where the Northern Expedition Middle Route Army passed, and now the national army has been reorganized, but the main personnel rights have not changed much, and Cui Wu is still responsible for the defense of Jiangxi, Hubei and other places.

After the news of the mutiny of the troops in Nanchang, Cui Wu knew it for the first time, and immediately mobilized the troops stationed nearby to encircle Nanchang City, but the result surprised him, and the four main regiments fought hard for a day without completely annihilating each other, which has to be said to be a great shame.

The troops who mutined this time were not considered front-line combat units, but only reserve forces. During the period when Huang Ke was in charge of military affairs, he put forward the operational principle of "all the people are soldiers", so the workers and peasants in various localities formed reserve forces under the leadership of the government.

In the past few years, with the expansion of industrial scale in Nanchang, the number of workers has also increased. The workers' reserve force in the Nanchang area gradually grew from a few hundred in the early days to nearly 10,000 people. The workers' organizations were organized into a number of regiments, which were under the jurisdiction of the garrison command, and were supplied with ammunition and personnel in accordance with the standard regimental level of the revolutionary army.

In the beginning, these militias were rarely issued with guns, and most of them used sticks and swords, and the local government relied on them to maintain some local law and order. With the continuous development of the military industry, the equipment of the Northern Expeditionary Army was updated, and most of the old equipment was eliminated, so these workers' armed organizations naturally used the old weapons they had eliminated.

Soon after, they were not only issued with corresponding military uniforms, but everyone also carried guns, and some platoons were even equipped with light machine guns and other firepower.

However, these weapons and equipment are nothing compared to the brave and combative revolutionary army.

On the night of the mutiny, the autonomous army composed of these workers began to capture the city government, police stations and other important institutions one after another, and there was no garrison in the city of Nanchang, only a small number of police forces resisted, and they were quickly defeated, so the mutinous troops easily took the city.

The news of the mutiny of troops in Nanchang City immediately spread, and the 226th Regiment stationed outside the city urgently mobilized that night and went to Nanchang City to encircle and suppress the rebels.

Ye Kaiming, the commander of the 226th Regiment, is a veteran of the Northern Expedition, and he has spent a crash course at the Xiguan Military Academy. After receiving the order of the Nanchang Garrison Headquarters that night, he immediately changed into a military uniform and made leggings, and gathered troops in a hurry to prepare for the attack on Nanchang City.

After learning that the other party was just a regiment of militia, Ye Kaiming did not underestimate the enemy, but first sent a small force to conduct reconnaissance, and after receiving specific information, the troops launched an attack on Nanchang City in the second half of the night.

As expected, the rebels were not only small in number, but also had no experience in defending fortified cities. Two 75-mm mountain guns and mortars from the artillery company of the 226th Regiment were the first to open fire, followed by a rapid influx of siege troops.

It didn't take long for a hole to be torn in the gates of the city, and a large number of troops began to enter the city. Ye Kaiming talked about the cigarette ash in his hand, he thought that the battle could be ended before dawn, but the real battle had just begun.

After entering the city, these reserve forces were not as weak as they thought, and they used the weapons they had in their hands to put up a desperate resistance.

Groups of workers in wicker hats and overalls shuttled back and forth with rifles, relying on the city's buildings to resist, some launching fierce counter-charges, and some desperately moving forward even after being shot several times. In this way, the 226th Regiment is a field reinforced regiment, and there has been almost no street fighting since the Northern Expedition, so although they quickly invaded the city, they had to pay a heavy price if they wanted to advance.

In the Nanchang urban area, when the 226th Regiment was concentrating its forces to prepare for the city government building and the police department and other power organs, it was attacked by various kinds along the way, and when it finally reached its destination, it was attacked by heavy fire. Fortifications have been erected in front of government buildings and police stations, and there are shooting holes in the scattered sandbags, and the muzzles of guns with black holes pointed outside.

Huang Ming, the commander of the first battalion of the 226th Regiment, couldn't help but marvel after seeing it, these field fortifications for street fighting were piled up so perfectly overnight, and the firepower configuration was also quite perfect.

Either way, he decided to gnaw on this hard bone. This attack was carried out by a battalion as the main attack, and they lost dozens of brothers on the way, which made him very annoyed, and when he arrived in front of the police station building, Huang Ming rolled up his sleeves and personally led the team to rush up.

The rebels opened fire a few hundred meters away, light and heavy fire at the same time, and a tight net of fire claimed the lives of the stormtroopers like a scythe of death.

The first battalion did not take the police station after many attacks, but suffered many casualties of its own. Soon after dawn, the mutinous officers and soldiers who had been holding the fortifications actually stepped out of the fortifications and launched a charge, and at the same time, the troops in many other directions were also fiercely attacked by the rebels, and the 226th Regiment immediately fell into a passive situation, and the troops were quickly dispersed, and finally had to withdraw from the city.

Ye Kaiming heard the dense gunfire and concluded that the other party was at least three regiments, and it seemed that yesterday's intelligence was wrong, but he also sent troops to personally investigate, how could such a thing happen?

Ye Kaiming did not know that the original mutinous officers and soldiers had contacted other militia organizations in a short period of time, that several militia regiments had caused trouble with each other in accordance with prior agreements, and that the rebels had also looted local arsenals such as police stations and militia units, so the firepower had been greatly enhanced.

By the evening of the same day, the rebel army had more than 7,000 troops, and occupied a favorable terrain advantage, so the 226th Regiment was defeated.

Despite this, but there was a rebellion under his rule, as Cui Wu's face was always a little unbearable, he ordered the removal of Ye Kaiming from his position as head of the regiment on the same day, and transferred him to the military court for trial; Subsequently, Cui Wu mobilized troops from around Nanchang to surround Nanchang, and after completing the deployment, he decided to fly to the front line to supervise the battle in person.

Jiang Zhongzheng of the General Staff Department was not impressed when he saw the news, but when he learned through internal sources that party members were involved in the armed mutiny, he couldn't help frowning.

All kinds of news kept coming, yesterday it was just a small armed mutiny, and in an instant it became the news that Nanchang City was besieged, this time the news was widely published in the newspapers and periodicals, and the streets and alleys were also talking about the news of Nanchang.

On the day of the mutiny, Huang Ke went to the reserve cadres to find Yang Yibing and asked him to investigate the matter.

That night, Huang Ke couldn't help but be taken aback after seeing the news in the newspaper that the 226th Regiment was almost wiped out and that Cui Wu led his troops to personally encircle and suppress it. Huang Ke knew that the 226th Regiment, which was the brave unit of the Central Route Army, fought fiercely with Wu Peifu back then, and this regiment resisted the attack of the enemy's three regiments. Wu Peifu's troops are famous in combat effectiveness in Beiyang, and they can defeat one enemy with three, which shows the strength of the regiment's combat effectiveness.

After the end of the Northern Expedition, the regiment was stationed in Nanchang, and at the same time, it also took the lead in replacing it with a new rifle produced by the Hanyang Arsenal. But such equipment was defeated, Huang Ke knew that some newspapers liked to exaggerate, but even if they were not completely annihilated, they still suffered heavy losses, which can be seen from Cui Wu's personal deployment of troops.

To say that there are such commanders in this group of militias who are so proficient in tactics, Huang Ke is a little unconvinced, but the battle of others is clearly there, so you have to obey.

Huang Ke was strolling in the courtyard in a satin robe with his hands on his back, he looked up and asked Fourteen Tsai beside him, "Fourteen, in your opinion, how many people can fight this battle?" ”

Fourteen cracked his mouth and smiled: "Isn't that you, commander?" ”

Huang Ke pointed to his head and said, "Your kid's kung fu is getting better and better." By the way, how about you arrange for someone to pick up your wife in Guangzhou? ”

"Don't worry, Commander, it's all arranged." As Fourteen was talking, the guards at the door ran in and said that Yang Yibing was coming.

Huang Ke signaled to let people come in quickly, Yang Yibing walked quickly to Huang Ke, stood up and saluted, and then opened a document with the word "top secret" and handed it to him.

"Comrade Xinghua, according to your instructions, the Reserve Cadres Department has found out who is behind the Nanchang incident."

Huang Ke looked at this information, and couldn't help frowning, and a familiar face appeared in this information.
