Four, three, four, the autumn wind blows in the south
Liu Mingzhao said: "The city of Guangzhou really wants to see the real chapter!" Whether Zhang Zicao has the first opportunity, or Long Zicheng has come from behind, it will be impossible for us to move with words when we arrive in Guangzhou, and we will inevitably meet each other in the end. Welcome to read// And since our brigade became an army, from Hubei to Hunan, from Hunan to Guangdong, there are a lot of trekking through mountains and rivers, going over mountains and mountains, and there have been a few small battles, all of which have crushed the other party in one fell swoop with the momentum of Mount Tai crushing the lion and fighting the rabbit.
"Moreover, we are unfamiliar with the people of Guangzhou and are already in a disadvantageous position. In addition, it is the essence of Guangdong Province, where people are scattered, commerce and trade are gathered, and there must be many restrictions on siege and street fighting, and even airplanes cannot be bombed casually, so as not to injure the innocent with shells. At that time, we were afraid that we would really have to do our best and risk our lives! β
But Mao Xin said: "Since it is difficult for the plane to exert its strength in Guangzhou, why don't we make a plan early and annihilate the enemy outside the city?" β
Liu Ming Zhaoqi said: "What does Chief of Staff Nu Gang mean? β
But Mao Xin said: "At this moment, Zhang Zicao and Long Zicheng must be on the way to Guangzhou, we should take advantage of their unpreparedness and order planes to bomb them, and try to destroy their living forces, lest they enter Guangzhou smoothly, and then retreat in the city to take advantage of the geographical advantage." β
Yang Bojian waved his hand: "No, no!" In case this move angered Zhang Zicao and Long Zicheng and prompted them to join forces against us, wouldn't we be killing ourselves? It is estimated that Zhang Zicao will be able to arrive in Guangzhou at noon tomorrow, and Long Zicheng will almost be able to see the provincial capital in two or three days, so it is better for us to slowly stay behind Zhang Zicao. Let's see how the two of them deal with themselves.
"As for whether the plane can be used or not, it is not whether it will harm the innocent, but whether the war is going well or not. If we are really blocked out of the city. It is difficult to break through in a short period of time, so can we just watch and let the time pass by minute by minute? Or endure the pain and order the regiments to fill it with human lives? At that time, even if Premier Sun is not allowed to use the plane, we must take out the strength of 'will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected' to disobey him! β
Liu Mingzhao said: "What Zihui said is very true, then let's wait and see what happens!" β
He immediately ordered the Fifth Regiment to move quickly south along the railway. The 6th Regiment was near Shaoguan to collect ships, cut timber and weave rafts, and prepare to go east. Just when the Third Brigade of the Hubei Army was busy, Zhang Iquan successfully arrived outside Guangzhou along the Guangshao Railway.
Although the 2nd Division, stationed outside the city of Guangzhou, was not complete. There are only two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a baggage battalion, but the gap between them and the invading independent brigade is not too big, not to mention that Su Shenchu still has the authority of the governor and the benefits of the landlord? At first, everyone thought that a fierce dragon and tiger fight would break out between the two strikes, but it turned out to be a big surprise. At a critical moment. Su Shenchu didn't know that he didn't want to harm the land of Sangzi. Still unable to control the troops under his command, he simply gave up the position of governor and fled with a huge amount of the treasury.
In this way, Zhang Iquan successfully took over Guangzhou and sat on the throne of temporary governor, who was abandoned by Su Shenchu. But before Zhang Iquan's throne was warm, Long Jiguang led the Ji army to kill outside Guangzhou with great momentum.
As the saying goes, "The power of example is endless." "With Hu Hanmin and Su Shenchu as examples, plus more than 15,000 murderous Ji troops outside the city, the Independent Brigade is obviously not an opponent. Zhang Iquan is also very single, and resolutely abandoned the position of governor and the military power in his hands. With the only remaining million oceans in Guangdong's treasury, he slipped away.
In just a few days, Guangdong changed three governors in this ironic way, and although there was no earth-shattering war, this marquee substitution swept the treasury clean, and the damage caused was not much smaller than the outbreak of a great war!
But that's not the end of the story.
When the complacent Long Jiguang was preparing to take over Guangzhou and then be elected governor of Guangdong, Liu Mingzhao, who heard the news that Zhang Iquan had absconded with the money, immediately ordered the air force to launch the most severe blow to the Ji army that was stationed outside Guangzhou at the moment, and at the same time ordered the Fifth Regiment, which had crossed Huaxian, to speed up its pace and launch an attack on the Ji army as soon as possible at all costs, and to prevent Long Jiguang from stepping into Guangzhou!
Yes, it is impossible for Liu Mingzhao to let Long Jiguang set foot in Guangzhou. The current Guangdong Provincial Council is so undisciplined that it is conceivable that as long as Long Jiguang sets foot in Guangzhou, he will be appointed as a temporary governor tomorrow. However, Long Jiguang was Yuan Shikai's newly appointed envoy to Guangdong Province, and he obeyed the order to lead his troops eastward to quell the Guangdong Rebellion, which shows Long Jiguang's political inclination and Yuan Shikai's reliance on him. As long as the Guangdong Provincial Assembly passes the election of the governor, the Great Presidential Office will definitely recognize it as soon as possible. ββAt that time, Sun Yuanqi's plan to attack Guangdong will really be completely ruined!
The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Northwest Air Force, which were accompanying the attack on Guangdong, also knew that the situation was urgent, and after receiving the order, all the bombers were dispatched from Shaoguan to the city of Guangzhou, 400 miles away, under the leadership of two reconnaissance planes.
At this time, the Jijun army relaxed their vigilance when they heard that Zhang Iquan had fled without a fight, and the officers and soldiers of each battalion gathered together, eager to gather in the direction of the provincial capital. Those buns in Wuzhou are too open-minded, and they dare to adulterate the tobacco soil, and they are not as good as cigarettes. It's really back to time! β
This remark immediately aroused the approval of the people around him: "Wuzhou people are too ghostly!" β
"The tobacco soil in Wuzhou is really incomplete!"
"If you want Lao Tzu to say, it's still our Yunnan's cloud soil that is the most rigid!"
Someone around immediately retorted: "Where can't the smoke bubbles be burned, why go to the Fushou paste shop?" In my opinion, Cai Sanzhi, we should go to the flower boat in Gubu to live for a night, lie on the gum and smoke cigarettes, listen to small songs, and tease the fans, wouldn't we be happy? β
"Cai San, I'm afraid you miss the one you are in Gubu, okay? Anyway, we've been away from Guangzhou for almost a year, can you still know you? β
"Hello? Phew! Haven't you heard 'bitches are ruthless, drama is unmeaning'? I'm afraid that as soon as Cai San left Guangzhou on the front foot, that rotten hooked up with someone else. Who does she know about Cai San? β
She doesn't know Cai San, but she knows the ocean of white flowers in Cai San's hands, and Cai San also knows the pink-headed white flowers' breasts. Both of them are white-eyed wolves who only know white things! β
"Hahahaha." There was laughter all around.
The battalion officer who led the team also smiled silently and did not reprimand. Even if you want to persuade, how can you say it? These rough men under his command have been in the army for seven or eight years, and for them, they are doing the work of licking blood with knives, and they don't know if they will wear their shoes tomorrow, and they don't have wives and children at home, so they just want to be happy and happy, and most of the money they earn by tying their heads to their belts is spent in brothels, tobacco houses, and casinos. This time, a sum of money was sent to the top, why didn't they spend it?
While this group of people was laughing and scolding, more than a dozen planes came from far and near with a low "buzzing" sound. At first, they were all arguing enthusiastically, and no one cared, until the figure of the plane became the size of an eagle falcon in the field of vision, and everyone couldn't help but raise their heads to look at this strange thing: "Cai San, what do you say is that?" β
"Big bird? Kite? I don't look like it! Pipe band, what do you always say? β
"I haven't seen it before, do you know?" Although the plane has been used several times in Beijing, Outer Mongolia, Changsha and other places, in the almost illiterate army of the Jijun Army, it is unseen and unheard of for the aircraft from top to bottom. One by one, they all stopped like stupid geese to look at the aircraft formation that was rarely seen in Liangguang.
The pilots of the bombers did not hesitate at all, and after delineating their respective bombing targets, they quickly lowered their altitude and mercilessly smashed the aerial bomb weighing 500 kg to the ground. A few seconds may be enough for an agile soldier to make room for a dropped bomb to land, but there is no way he can escape the radius of four or five hundred kilograms of TNT explosives.
"Woo-bang!"
Within the circle, 30 percent of the officers and men died from shrapnel from the explosion, 40 percent from the shock wave caused by the explosion, and the remaining 30 percent lost their combat effectiveness.
To say that the equipment of the Ji army is really not bad, because as early as the last years of Guangxu in the former Qing Dynasty, it was relied on by the imperial court as the pillar stone of the southern country, and the weapons and food were preferentially supplied, so the weapons were made in Hanyang, and even the rare Makqin heavy machine guns in the regular army in Guangdong had nearly 20 pieces, such as mortars and mountain artillery. However, their tactical thinking has always stayed in the era of cold weapons, and what they fought was the blood and courage of rushing forward, as well as the arrogance of the Yunnan natives who were "not afraid of losing when gambling, not afraid of getting drunk, and not afraid of death when gambling".
This may have something to do with the fact that they have always been the main target of war.
From the 29th year of Guangxu (1903) when the Jijun participated in the extermination of the tin miners' rebellion in Yunnan, to the later Guangxi Huidang uprising, most of them faced the rural fools armed with broadswords and spears, and the most advanced weapons were shotguns and earth guns. Whether it is fighting weapons or fighting momentum, the Jijun army will win the battle. Later, there were the Zhennanguan Uprising, the Hekou Uprising, etc., and the revolutionary party occasionally had a little trendy weapon in its hands, but it was far inferior in numbers, and it was not difficult for the Ji army to win with the tactics of crowds.
It is precisely because of this victory that not only limited the way commander Long Jiguang governed the army, but also ossified the understanding of various officers on the battlefield charge. If they are facing other armies that lack weapons and ammunition, there is still a big chance of victory. If the enemy were equipped with more advanced weapons, their actions on the battlefield would undoubtedly be equivalent to death.
However, the only thing that Sun Yuanqi's troops could get their hands on was more advanced weapons, so the Ji army was tragic. (To be continued.) )
