Section 77 Suppressing the rebellion (2)
The next day, Liao Zhongkai and Galun arrived on the Yongfeng ship. On the other day, Liao Zhongkai, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei arrived. In order to keep the secret, the meeting address was not located in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall of the Guangdong Army General Headquarters, but in the Jinyuan outside the city.
Regarding the anti-rebellion, the participants had a surprisingly unanimous opinion and firmly supported it. In response to the actions of the Gui army at the same time, Chiang Kai-shek even proposed a specific combat plan, that is, he led the First Brigade of the Party Army, the Chen Mingshu Brigade of the Guangdong Army, the Xu Ji tribe of the Fourth Division of the Guangdong Army, and the Wu Tiecheng tribe of the Guards to form the Eastern Front to suppress the rebellion force, and Xu Chongzhi led the Second Division of the Guangdong Army to stay in Chao. The anti-rebellion troops attacked the Zhao Chengliang tribe of the army stationed in Shilong Shitan through Tamsui along the Guangjiu Route; now the Tan Yankai Xiang Army, Zhu Peide Army, and Cheng Qianjian formed the northern line, and followed the Guangdong-Han Railway to attack Guangzhou; now the Li Jishen tribe of the Guangdong Army in Wuzhou formed the western line and attacked east along the Guangsan Route.
After careful consideration, the general military adviser Gallon believed that the total number of troops participating in the fight against the rebellion was 50,000, while the total strength of the Gui army was less than 40,000. More importantly, the main force of Hu Sishun's army in the third army was still in Huizhou and did not move closer to Guangzhou. Therefore, if we could return to the army secretly, Hu Sishun would not be able to rush back to Guangzhou to participate in the war. Therefore, Gallon suggested that when Xu Chongzhi stayed behind, he would publicly make some remarks against Fujian. The tougher the better, the stronger the atmosphere of war, the better. It is best to send a small group of troops to harass Fujian.
Xu Chongzhi laughed loudly when he heard this. He was very happy. The Gui army's control of Guangzhou had already caused his dissatisfaction, but his own strength had to swallow his anger. The victory of the Eastern Expedition greatly increased his confidence. He had been thinking about driving away the Gui army to occupy Guangzhou for a long time. He originally planned to recruit Chen Jiongming's remaining troops and realize the great unity of the Guangdong army before trying to find a way to take action. Unexpectedly, Yang Ximin would actually give the opportunity to his hands like this. He told Jialun loudly with a red face that he was best at bluffing people. Don't worry about quelling the rebellion. As long as I am in Dongjiang, there will be no problem with Dongjiang.
After the meeting, Liao Zhongkai was released back to Guangzhou. He tried to stabilize Yang Ximin to win time for the Eastern Expedition Army to return. Chiang Kai-shek rushed to Meixian to mobilize the troops. Before leaving, he tactfully reminded Xu Chongzhi. He must be careful when recruiting Chen Jiongming's remaining troops. These people can be betray Chen Jiongming today and you will betray you tomorrow. Xu Chongzhi didn't care. The next day, Xu Chongzhi called a reporter to deliver a murderous speech, demanding that Fujian return the Yongfu ship immediately, otherwise the Eastern Expedition Army will go to Fujian to take it.
With Xu Chongzhi's speech, the Guangdong army began to move frequently to the border of Fujian and Guangdong. The civilian army in Fujian was unprecedentedly active, and Zhou Yinren was very panicked. He sent Sun Chuanfang to ask for additional troops in Fujian. Sun Chuanfang called back and scolded Zhou Yinren, asking him to contact Yangshuzhuang immediately and release the Yongfu ship. At present, the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is unclear, and Zhejiang's troops must not be transferred south.
Zhou Yinren thought about it and finally came up with a bad idea. He sent someone to spread rumors in Xiamen that the Guangdong Navy would attack Xiamen in order to retaliate against the Beiyang Navy. Hearing this rumor, the residents of Xiamen were shocked overnight. In fear, Xiamen residents collectively petitioned Yangshuzhuang, demanding that the Yongfu ship be returned and that Xiamen should not be destroyed by the war. Yangshuzhuang had no choice but to agree.
Xu Chongzhi did not expect that the Yongfu ship would come back so easily. He was stunned and didn't know what to do, so he had to focus on the negotiations to recruit Chen Jiongming's remaining troops, and the tension on the border between Fujian and Guangdong also eased. During this period, Chiang Kai-shek had already led the rebels back to Guangzhou.
In Pingshan, Chiang Kai-shek delivered a speech entitled "Regaining the Guangzhou Base Area" to the Party and Guards, "The Guards, Party and all are revolutionary troops, and they are subordinates of Marshal Sun. Now, after Marshal Sun's death, Guangzhou, the revolutionary government base area that Marshal had worked hard for decades, will be colluded with counter-revolutionary warlord Tang Jiyao, Beiyang warlord Wu Peifu, and the fake revolutionary warlords Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan in Guangdong Province. We have to support the revolutionary government base area built by Marshal Sun. The revolutionary government base area built by Marshal Sun is like the industries left behind by our ancestors.
The inheritance of the land industry left behind by our ancestors through hardships and was taken away by robbers for no reason is not a shame for us to be descendants. Overcoming the rebellion that hinders our practice, we will be able to support our revolutionary base. If they fight to the death and take back Guangzhou, our revolutionary army will have no place to establish a foothold, and we cannot practice politics. Can we still be worthy of the dead Grand Marshal? We can definitely win, because the people in the provincial capital hate the Gui army very much, and hope that we will go back every day, and move against the Gui army every day. When they hear us going back, they are ready to welcome them, so we are very sure that we will succeed..."
After the rebels arrived in Pingshan, the purpose of returning to Guangzhou could no longer be concealed. Yang Ximin decided to take action first and ordered
The Guangzhou Finance and Taxation Bureau, Police Bureau, Central Party Department and other places in the district were deployed and issued an order to suppress the rebellion. The Central Committee of the Kuomintang, Soviet consultants, provincial party committees and other important members in the city were transferred to the headquarters of the base camp, Shimin Tu Factory and the Whampoa Military Academy. At the same time, martial law was announced on Huangpu Island. More than 2,000 students of the second and third-year periods who had returned to school were organized into an assault team, with the student captain Zhang Zhizhong as the commander-in-chief, Bao Huiseng, the acting director of the political department, as the party representative, and Qiqi Banruofu as the consultant, responsible for guarding Huangpu Island.
Yang Ximin planned to drive away the base camp first, so he sent troops to attack Shimin Earth Factory. However, at this time he found that all the land ships could not find any workers who drove the ships. Guangzhou workers held a general strike at the call of **. Both ships and trains were all down and could not move. All those who could move were collected to the south bank. Yang Ximin had no choice but to collect some small sampans and prepare to rely on these Bandu River. However, the navy that supported the base camp sent Yongfeng ships, Jiangchou ships and other warships to patrol the river. These small sampans did not dare to go down the river at all. Yang Ximin had to leave some troops to monitor and turn their attention to the outer battlefield of Guangzhou.
This time, Zhuang Jihua, the return army, has been following Chiang Kai-shek for action. Chiang Kai-shek was angry along the way. In Tamsui, it was because deserters appeared in the army. When he was in Zhangmutou, he scolded the General Staff again because the General Staff actually left the communications office behind. After Chiang Kai-shek arrived at Zhangmutou, he was unable to contact the army. This incident made Chiang Kai-shek both angry and disappointed, so he transferred Zhuang Jihua to the General Staff Office to serve as a confidential staff officer. In fact, he was his representative, supervising the work of the General Staff.
Although the staff of the General Staff were very dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to complain about Chiang Kai-shek, so they had to extricate their anger on Zhuang Jihua. But after a long time, Zhuang Jihua knew the reason why these people were cold to him. No matter he was not angry, he did not complain to Chiang Kai-shek, but just waited for the opportunity silently. What disappointed him was that he did not see Huang Mingcheng in Zhangmutou. He had been transferred to work in the Guangdong District Committee. The new chairman of the trade union was named Lu, and he was also a coworker of the group of workers at the time. He was very enthusiastic about Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua asked him to organize a team of supporters. Chairman Lu laughed and said that he had prepared long ago. The Guangdong District Committee had already ordered that all trade unions and peasants' associations in various places should support the suppression of the rebellion. Therefore, they not only organized the team of troops.
, and also organized a coworkers to counter-rebellion team, just like when he was fighting Chen Jiongming, and then asked in a low voice if the seized spoils could be the same as before. Zhuang Jihua was happy to see him and told him about this question. You asked Principal Jiang, but he probably didn't have such a possibility. The gun seized last time was just a coincidence, because there were still many troops with insufficient weapons and equipment. Zhuang Jihua looked at Chairman Lu's face with a disappointed face and asked if there was no gun without a front team. Chairman Lu glared and said angrily, "Not only is there a front team, but also a coworker team." This was an order from the organization. Then he said, of course, it would be better if there was one. After that, the two laughed.
In Zhuang Jihua's heart, he looked down on Gui Jun very much. In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of this double-slinger soldier was simply not worth mentioning, but unexpectedly, when the battle started, he realized that the double-slinger soldier was also very combat-effective.
Shilong's enemy retreated without much resistance. He Yingqin commanded the First Brigade to occupy Shilong easily and then successfully captured Shitan. The main force of the Gui army retreated to Longyan Cave and relied on the geographical location to resist.
The battle at Longyan Cave was very fierce. He Yingqin commanded the First Brigade to launch several consecutive charges and was beaten down. Chiang Kai-shek cursed at the command center. As he scolded himself, he was about to go to the front line. Zhuang Jihua quickly stopped him and asked him to go to the front to see where the problem was.
The chief of staff of the Party Army was Wang Jun, the former commander of the Third Battalion, and Zhuang Jihua's immediate superior. After he was dismissed, he was transferred back to the military academy. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek knew that he had wronged him. So during a chat, Zhuang Jihua took the opportunity to stand up for Wang Jun, saying that the defeat in Tamsui Chengbei was not blamed for Battalion Commander Wang, and the main responsibility of Wang Bailing, Chiang Kai-shek stepped down and appointed him as the chief of staff when he formed the First Brigade of the Party Army. Since Qian Dajun, the former acting commander of the Second Regiment, was in Mianhu and Xingning, he fought very well, after Shen Yingshi was injured and returned to the team, Qian Dajun served as the commander of the Third Regiment.
When Zhuang Jihua arrived at the First Brigade, Wang Jun was a little surprised and asked him not to stay by the principal and what to do when he ran to the front line? He Yingqin was yelling at the commander Liu Zhi on the phone, "I shot you."
Zhuang Jihua waved his pistol and shouted: "Robbery, monthly tickets, renewal tickets, urged to update tickets, get them all."
