Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On Yuefu Street, Deng Xiaoke walked in a hurry.

    A group of border guards transferred from the Yunnan border ran past and rushed to the south gate. Compared with the first siege after the Chengdu massacre a few months ago, the situation this time was more serious.  Because this time it is no longer the motley crews such as Comrade Hui and Brother Pao, but the new army with Laobazhen as its team.  Two days ago, this army was not considered a strong army in everyone's eyes, but two days later it was.

    #Úâxiaoke was full of bitterness. He would never have thought that Yang Qiu, whom he met by chance in Chengdu four months ago, was now the world-famous Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Army, and that he had also defeated Beiyang at the foot of Xiaocang Mountain in Jingshan three days ago.  In the fourth town, they not only killed and captured nearly 10,000 people, but also captured powerful generals like Wang Yujia. Who else in South China could do this?  What will such a force bring to Sichuan if it enters Sichuan forcefully?

    The Chinese people are too regional-minded. Will letting people from Hubei control Sichuan aggravate the already very h¨²nlu¨¤n situation?

    By the time he came to Wangjiang Tower, Pu Dianjun and others were already looking at him, and they hurriedly surrounded him and asked: "Shouyuan (Deng Xiaoke's courtesy name), what's the situation outside?"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ¡°I have already contacted Yin Changzi to persuade him, but you all have to be prepared.¡±

    Pu Dianjun is the leader of the road protection movement and a leader of Sichuan's constitutionalists. During the last road protection movement, he introduced the Comrade's Association, which led to a mutiny and caused chaos in Sichuan. He already felt deeply guilty. He didn't expect that Yang Qiu would actually take action after hearing what he meant.  A river of blood would definitely flow into Chengdu during the fight. How could he be worthy of the people of Sichuan? He said nervously: "What do you mean by guarding the source? Is it possible that they really want to attack the city? Haven't you met Yang Qiu?"

    #Úâxiaoke smiled bitterly: "Song Jiaoren has also seen him, but so what? Didn't he slap Huang Keqiang out of the two lakes? He even dared to fight Beiyang and Yuan Shikai, and his morale after winning the battle was high. If he really wanted to do it  Can I stop it?"

    "Then we can't let people from Hubei lead us in Sichuan!" said an enthusiastic representative of the constitutionalists: "Don't the eldest son Yin still have more than 4,000 troops? Can't we block it? Sichuan people's autonomy is something we have long awaited.  It¡¯s just been decided, how can it be changed at the drop of a hat?¡±

    It would be great if you could stand up!  Who would have thought that Yang Qiu, who was chased by Brother Pao, killed Wang Tianjie and was misunderstood as a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, would suddenly become a revolutionary hero?  !  Who doesn¡¯t know now? Who has the final say in Hubei and Hunan?  The Beiyang side of Hankou can no longer be defeated. If he is really angry, all the tens of thousands of troops capable of fighting Beiyang will enter Sichuan. Wouldn't this be a greater disaster?

    "There's no point in being anxious. I think everyone should sit down and wait patiently for news about Yin Changzi." Pu Dianjun waved to everyone to sit down and wait. As soon as their buttocks touched the stools, they suddenly heard a burst of gunfire from the city gate.  Turning his head to look, he saw gunshots ringing out from the south gate like fried beans.

    "How is this possible? The city was destroyed without a fight?" The excited representative of the constitutional faction jumped up, and Deng Xiaoke sat down heavily on the stool: "Yin eldest son"

    The sound of gunfire became more and more intense. Following the massacre in Chengdu three months ago, fierce screams once again rang out in this ancient southwestern provincial capital. Yin Changheng was worried about accidental injuries caused by artillery fire. At the critical moment, he used internal response to help the Pioneer Brigade open the city.  m¨¦n, allowing groups of vanguard brigade soldiers to enter the city without any hindrance.

    The soldiers who had already made careful plans were very fast. Su Xiaohu borrowed the machine gun-centered tactics used by Yang Qiu in the night attack on Chenjia'ao. In company units, each company fired a Madsen light machine gun.  Under cover, they quickly pounced on the intended target. Core targets such as the treasury, machine bureau, customs building, salt office, etc. became the areas that the first wave needed to occupy.

    Hundreds of soldiers wearing flying tiger armbands rushed past Pu Dianjun and others downstairs, and the flames from the machine guns made them tremble.  At this time, the governor's office was completely confused.  Since it was dinner time, Zhao Erfeng immediately dropped his bowl when he heard the gunfire, and the guards quickly prepared to resist in front of the Governor's Mansion.

    "What's the matter? How did they get into the city?"

    One of his subordinates rushed over and cried: "Your Excellency is the eldest son of Yin! He bribed the city's officers and let those Hubei guys in! He also brought more than a thousand 61 soldiers to help." Zhao Erfeng said fiercely  He stomped his feet fiercely and yelled: "Yin Changheng, you little bastard, you have been favored by the emperor in this life. If the emperor hadn't sent you east to Japan, how would you be where you are today!"

    Yin Changheng couldn't hear the yelling at the moment. He was leading the guards and Su Xiaohu's training camp. These soldiers opened his eyes. They acted quickly and courageously facing the streets. The rifles in their hands were all new, especially  They also carried a kind of small bomb. Whenever they saw the border guards gathering to resist, they would throw it over under the cover of machine guns. The power of the explosion was not even much worse than that of black fire artillery shells.

    At this moment, he knew why Su Xiaohu dared to act in front of him just nowFrankly speaking about the deployment, even without cannons, machine guns and these small bombs alone are enough to deal with his own army.

    "Be careful" A small group of sentries arrived at the Governor's Mansion first. As soon as half of their heads were fired, a dense volley of guns swept over them. Hundreds of border guards hid in bunkers surrounded by sand and fired fiercely at these border guards.  Stationed on the border in western Yunnan for a long time, they had countless fights with bandits and local chieftains, so their combat effectiveness was quite good, and they quickly suppressed the forward sentries.

    However, they were not happy for long. With the arrival of three Madsen machine guns from the training camp, the firepower was quickly suppressed. Before they could step out of the shadow of the light machine guns, a Maxim heavy machine gun was pushed over, and a long  The ammunition belt shortened rapidly in the tongue of ground fire. When a box of bullets was emptied, the grenadiers immediately pressed against the wall and fired more than a dozen grenades in the direction of the sandbags.

    The rumbling explosions made the faces of these border guards turn pale. Their usual combat targets were local guns and artillery. How could they have seen such strong firepower, both machine guns and bombs, especially the strong wind that swept away fallen leaves after the heavy machine gun fired?  His momentum was so strong that he couldn't even lift his head.  So when the explosion occurred, Tatemura was so frightened that he retreated into the Governor's Palace. But this resistance was in vain. With the light machine guns mounted on the wall, they were still unable to resist the Pioneer Brigade soldiers attacking from all directions.

    After the Governor's Mansion was attacked, thousands of border guards suddenly became headless flies. Military uniforms and weapons were thrown everywhere on the streets. Many people took advantage of the situation and looted, but they were quickly rushed by the Pioneer Brigade.  The soldiers caught them and showed no mercy to them. Soon corpses and blood filled the streets.  A pair of eyes hiding behind the cracks in the door looked at all this in horror, unable to tell whether they were happy or scared.

    When the remaining thousands of soldiers in Yin Changheng's hands entered the city, the Governor's Mansion had been breached.  Except for a few who escaped, the rest of the border guards were also disarmed and detained. Zhao Erfeng was even tied up by five soldiers. The soldiers who didn't want to hear him curse simply found a woman's bellyband and stuffed his mouth.  Hu Laosan, who came in, only pinched the corners of his eyes and saluted: "Brigadier, the vassal has taken it."

    Before entering Sichuan, Yang Qiu repeatedly warned that important places such as the vassal treasury and the Machinery Bureau must be protected, especially the treasury and silver!  Since the consumption in Hubei is too great, whether it can be replenished is a big problem. When Su Xiaohu heard that the treasury was under control, he immediately jumped up and asked, "How is it?"

    Hu Laosan¡¯s face was full of excitement: ¡°Haha, I haven¡¯t counted it yet, but judging from the situation, it¡¯s at least seven or eight million.

    "Transport it away! There is our ship at the dock, and we will immediately send heavy troops to protect it and transport it to Chongqing!" The two of them muttered to Zhao Erfeng who was next to him. After hearing this, he was so angry that he kept shaking when he saw the two of them preparing to move the treasure away.  Su Xiaohu reminded him, sneered and waved his hand.

    When Zhao Erfeng was executed, Yin Changheng had already led people to persuade him to surrender.  In fact, there was no need to persuade Pu Dianjun and others to make plans to cooperate. As the sky gradually turned dark, and important places such as the city gate and treasury were heavily blocked by the vanguard brigade, Chengdu was filled with uneasiness and anxiety like a stuffy jar.  After learning that the Governor's Mansion had been breached, everyone had no choice but to go to see Su Xiaohu. As soon as they stepped across the blown-up gate, they saw Zhao Erfeng lying in a pool of blood. They couldn't help but feel sorry for this.  The young Brigadier Su's methods were secretly shocking.

    At this moment, Su Xiaohu was holding a roster of flowers and was constantly sending people to receive supplies under the guidance of a cooperating master of the Governor's Office. Sichuan is a country of abundance, and the main resources are concentrated in Sichuan and Chongqing, so how many good things can be unearthed is very important for quickly controlling Sichuan.  important.

    "My Deng Xiaoke, I have met Brigadier Su."

    ?? #ÚâС is the only one among everyone who has had a relationship with Yang Qiu, so everyone recommended him.  When Su Xiaohu saw him, he immediately put down his roster, walked up to him and saluted: "Su Xiaohu of the Kuomintang Army Pioneer Brigade has met Mr. #Úâ. Before leaving the country, the commander gave him many warnings, saying that you are a giant in Sichuan, and even more so in the Sichuan newspaper.  You have made a lot of contributions to promoting the revolution, so I must protect you."

    Reacting to his enthusiasm, Bu Xiaoke was still a little dazed, so he hurriedly said a few words of humility before asking: "Commander Su, I wonder when Commander Yang will come to Sichuan?"

    Before setting off, Yang Qiu thought that domestic regional concepts would not be easily broken, so he specially asked to deal with it.  While Su Xiaohu asked everyone to watch tea and greet everyone, he said according to the plan: "The commander may not be able to enter Sichuan for two months, but don't worry, there are many brothers from Sichuan in our pioneer brigade, Mr. Xiaoke, and all of you are Xiaohu's  Senior, just speak up if you can find something useful."

    Pu Dianjun took a look at #Úâxiaoke and everyone, and said: "My lord, Pu Dianjun, would like to ask Commander Yang how he plans to handle the affairs in central Sichuan?"

    "Of course I leave it to you! Sichuan is in a state of chaos right now, and Xiaohu is a soldier who doesn't understand these things, so we still have to rely on everyone in terms of civil affairs." Su Xiaohu said, "You are successful."After finishing speaking, he did not forget to hit these people: "But I have something to say beforehand. The interim military government must give priority to the opinions of the army. We don't want the Changsha incident to happen again!"

    Before we could feel happy about getting the civil rights, the heavy words made everyone feel cold.  The September 14th Incident in Changsha had long spread throughout the country. Although the inside story was unclear, Yang Qiu raised troops in Hunan at the critical moment of the war and killed almost all those who opposed the revolution in Changsha. He still has a regiment there.  I heard that Tan Yan obeyed the advice of Commander Hang and took the initiative to disband his troops and reorganized them into the Fourth Division of the National Defense Forces. This shows that there may be more than just revenge for Jiao Dafeng and others.

    "Don't be nervous, everyone, that's what I said." Seeing these people all looking nervous, Su Xiaohu dropped the second bomb: "By the way, I have something to say hello to you first. Please take over.  The first thing to do after the Civil Affairs is to immediately recruit 30,000 civilians to restart the construction of the Han-Sichuan Railway! This railway is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people in Sichuan, and there must be no delay! As for the lack of funds and materials, etc.  1. The commander said that he will complete the financing within half a year."

    "What!"

    Not to mention people like Pu Dianjun and #Úâxiaoke, even Yin Changheng¡¯s eyes widened.  Is the Hanchuan Railway going to be restarted soon?  !

    Perhaps it was the reopening of the delayed Han-Sichuan Railway that inspired everyone, and the Sichuan Provisional Military Government was established in just one night.  In order to maintain relations, Deng Xiaoke was appointed as the interim governor, Pu Dianjun was appointed as the minister of civil affairs, and Luo Lun volunteered to serve as the director of the Han-Sichuan Railway Preparatory Construction Bureau.

    As for the Pioneer Brigade and the Sichuan Town Army, according to Yang Qiulai's instructions before, they will be temporarily organized into the Fifth Division of the National Defense Army. Su Xiaohu will serve as the division commander, Yin Changheng will serve as the deputy division commander, and Hu Laosan will temporarily serve as the commander of the Chengdu Base of the National Defense Army, and Ma Kui's  Chongqing echoed from a distance.

    On November 16, just three days after the victory at Xiaocangshan, Sichuan announced its recovery.

    When the Sichuan military government energized the country and announced the recovery, it also issued two orders.  The first requirement is that all armed forces in Sichuan immediately lay down their weapons and accept reorganization.  At the same time, he announced the recruitment of 30,000 civilians and began to restart the construction of the Han-Sichuan Railway.
