Geng Volume Chapter 90 Liang Jiatian

Perhaps they were afraid of the night battle of Baishui Pass in Fuxinghui. After losing the mountainside on the north side, the rebels on Changchong Mountains on the south side of the post road were extremely worried that they would be surrounded after dawn. Amid the shouts of killing and guns and cannons all over the mountains, they also began to retreat quietly.∈♀, the north and south retreated, and for a while, people were panicked. Even though Xu Shunda, the commander of the 11th Division, considered that the night pursuit was easy to be imprisoned, and asked the guards to suspend the pursuit, the First Army of the National Protection Army still fled to Zhanyi County, thirty miles away to stabilize the position.

Since Pinghekou was lost, the Zhanyi County town that had lost the protection of the mountainous areas would be captured by the Fuxing Army. The First Army Li Liejun's army and the Second Army were in the main headquarters. The result of the discussion all night was to withdraw from Zhanyi, leaving only a small part of the troops to guard the war. The main force was all stationed on the south bank of Baishijiang, where the Second Army had dug trenches and fortifications, and only one division of the Fuxing Army and some of the Yunnan Army's remnants were attacked. Everyone thought that the river might be used as a barrier to defend the upper hand. The discussion was so discussed, but everyone knew that Baishijiang still could not defend it. It was just because of the order that the Kunming General Command had to fight for an inch of land, they could only do it.

The guardian army was about to collapse at a touch. The Yunnan army led by Xie Ruyi in the morning of the next day, and the Fuxing Army accepted the entire Zhanyi County without a single shot and bullet. As for the protective positions on the other side of the Baishi River, the next day, the entire army set up its formation, and the cannons rushed over. Before the Fuxing Army could charge, the defense line of protection began to shake again. When the revolutionary patriots discovered that the enemy crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Baishi River, they were worried that the Fuxing Army would seize the retreat, Li Liejun and others hurriedly retreated.

The guards were wearing a gray military uniform of the Russian army. They saw a large group of "gray animals" rushing back like ants on the other side of the river. From the commander Xu Shun to the soldiers at the bottom, they all began to despise the guardian army, and they were so brave and dared to rebel. This time, the generals no longer hesitated, and the large army followed and chased to Malong County twenty kilometers away in one breath. Malong's key pass was in Changlongpu, and the guards had also dug fortifications in Changlongpu in advance, preparing to defend this place. Unexpectedly, Xie Ruyi's troops of the Yunnan Army launched a raid overnight. They fought with blood fortifications for several hours and finally occupied this important place, completely opening the last pass to Kunming westward.

Changlongpu is only 140 kilometers away from Kunming City. The provincial capital here is under the threat of the Fuxing Army's military front. On the day when the news reached Kunming, the people in the eight provincial capitals were bleak. Sun Wen was the most dissatisfied. In addition, he had just been scolded and mocked by the Russian Ma Dahan, so he was very angry. Looking at the uneasy people, he said angrily: "Didn't it say that Pinghekou can be defended for three months? Why was it lost in one day? I think Kunming City will probably be lost in a few days. I will ask: You! Is there any! Is there a way! Fight with the Fuxing Army?!"

Sun Wen looked at Chen Qimei, then Hu Hanmin, and even looked at Hu Yisheng, who was ineffective in command and lost the Baishui Pass. His eyes also stayed on his face for a long time. Seeing that everyone dared not answer, he seemed to know the answer in his heart.

During the silence, Chen Qimei stood up and said, "Sir. The Fuxing Army's artillery fire is fierce, and she is very good at night battles and flank attacks, so our army, which lacks artillery, cannot compete with it, and the flanks are difficult to resist it. Night battle is a subject that our army has not trained. The soldiers in Baishui Pass are already afraid of night battles, so at night, they only need to hear the Fuxing Army's attack. Most of the soldiers are unintentional to fight and just want to retreat quickly..."

Chen Qimei had never studied military affairs. But his younger brother Chen Qicai graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school. Although Chen Qicai had never been to the front line, he knew that the tactics of the Fuxing Army were irresistible to the army after reading the detailed military newspapers sent from the front line. During the Russo-Japanese War, the tactics of the hand-blade night attack and the side-blade night attack were also two tactics often used by the Japanese army. It can even be said that the Japanese army won the Russo-Japanese War with side-blade night attack, and the tactics of the hand-blade night attack were just the product of front-facing pressure. This was a straight and strange way, which made the Russian army retreat. Now the front-facing cannon and bayonet of the Fuxing Army cannot stand it, let alone the flanking round-trip tactics.

Under Chen Qicai's persuasion, Chen Qimei gradually realized that Kunming could not be defended. The only most feasible solution at the moment was to pull the remaining teams to Mengzi to establish a revolutionary base. This place was on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, and the logistics supply was also very convenient. If it was not possible, everyone could retreat to Annan for rest. However, this solution was very good at winning Sun Wen, who was very fond of merit, said that he was unwilling to choose. Moreover, Chen Qimei had previously tried to defend Chen Yunnan, and now he proposed to withdraw from Kunming again, which was politically incorrect. So, Chen Qimei, who stood up, talked about a lot of the gap in strength and tactical gap between the enemy and us, but he didn't say that he should withdraw from Kunming, which made everyone who was anxious to look at him very disappointed.

"Revolutionary will is better than everything!" After hearing Chen Qimei say so many words that deteriorate her power, Sun Wen, who was in an excited state, said 10,000 words. "The Fuxing Army can attack at night, why can't we attack at night? The Fuxing Army has suicide squads, so why can't we use suicide squads?" Sun Wen asked the generals loudly, as if he was trying.

The bright eyes of the great leader swept across the faces of the participants, and they all looked down. He suddenly thought of Huang Xing, who died at Chen Qimei's hands. Huang Xing was like a general. How great would it be if Huang Xing was there at this time!

Sun Wen didn't speak, and the meeting fell silent for a moment. Everyone held their breath and suddenly heard a sound of gongs outside. Someone shouted: "The plane is here! The plane is here..."

After the last time he was air-raided the ammunition depot, Cai E arranged a special person to watch the wind on the Dadongmen Tower to prevent the Fuxing Army from raiding the Eight Provincial Capital Halls. Although others died, the system was still preserved. So when the plane came, the lookout hand on the city tower knocked on the gong and shouted that the plane was coming.

The north end of Kunming City is square and the south side is round. However, no matter how Kunming looks on the ground, looking down at Kunming City from the sky is extremely ugly. After firing a few bullets against the Dadong Gate Tower, eight bombers entering the city lined up to fly began to drop flyers and other propaganda items. This is the purpose of the Air Force coming to Kunming.

The guards knew the power of the plane. When they heard the gong, they hid underground like a mouse. The people in the city couldn't help but leave the house and looked up at the machines flying in the sky. They were not afraid, but happy, and were anxious to pick up the things thrown from the plane, wanting to know what was said above. When will the King's Master come?

"The Revival Army captured Qujing and Ma Long the day before yesterday, and killed nearly 10,000 prisoners of rebels. The restoration of Kunming is just around the corner!" The leaflets are full of big characters, the first line is the latest battle report, and the citizens are happy when they see it. Another thing I picked up is a deck of playing cards wanted order. After opening it, the first one is the clown version of the Russian Ma Dahan, who is a big ghost, and the poker is written in "Tsar's lackey. Sun Wen's godfather; whether it is alive or dead, the bounty is 100,000 yuan." It seems to be like a passionate and loyal man who has done a big vote;

The big ghost has seen it. The next one is Sun Wen of the clown version. This is the little ghost. He wrote the book "Chinese traitor, Tsarist Russian puppet. Whether you live or die, you will get a bounty of 50,000." If you go on, Chen Qimei, Hu Hanmin, Liao Zhongkai, Li Liejun and others. Everyone has a brief review and a bounty amount. The whole playing card is beautifully printed. It only makes people love it, which makes the person who picked one and wants a second one.

The people can pick up the pass and poker, and Sun Wen and others can also pick it up. Looking at the clown-like portraits in poker, as well as the comments of traitors and puppets, Sun Wen was furious. He tore the poker cards apart and scolded Yang Jingcheng as shameless. The leader's anger always needs to understand the subordinates. On that day, Chen Qimei ordered the departments to confiscate the flyers and poker in the city. For a moment, the entire Kunming City began to be in chaos again. He was in panic all day long.

Everyone could not see the things in the city, and even if they saw them, they ignored them. After the plane left, a group of people sat down to discuss the current war. At this time, Sun Wen, who was very insulted, slapped the table and asked the front-line guardian army to counterattack at night to fight a big victory to boost morale. On that day, his order left Kunming and went to the Liangjiatian Village position of the guardian army, sixteen kilometers west of Changlong Town.

The Liangjiatian defense line is already the second-last position worthy of garrison from Qujing to Kunming. If it is lost here, there will be two dangerous passes 12 kilometers westwards, Changlingge position and Yingpanshan. However, with the current morale of the guardian, if it is defeated again, the Yunnan army will collapse; even if it is not collapsed, the two armies will be separated from the rear defense line will collapse at once. The commander of the First Army Li Liejun and the commander of the Second Army Ju Zheng both mean to defend Liangjiatian. Because many machine guns and cannons were thrown on the Pinghekou front line a few days ago, while the troops were in defense of Liangjiatian, the two urged the rear to urgently send all the remaining artillery machine guns and ammunition. Unexpectedly, the two wanted machine guns and cannons, but they were sent to the night attack order.

"Our army has not fought for two lives here, and we have never had a night battle. If we really want to attack at night, if one is not good, the whole army will be fully inscribed!" Li Liejun took the order with the command "Commander-in-Chief Sun" printed on it, and cursed and encouraged Sun Wen to give this order at the same time, and complained slightly. With his thoughts, it is better to treat this order as if he had not seen it.

"It is probably because of the international situation that Mr. Zhongshan had no choice but to issue such an order." Ju Zheng was from Hubei and was one of the earliest members of the Tongmenghui. Although he had never been to the military academy, he was very brave. Seeing that Li Liejun had a difficult face, he took the initiative to say, "Xiaru, otherwise the task of the night attack would be handed over to the Second Army, and your First Army would concentrate on guarding the defense line."

"Second Army..." Li Liejun smiled bitterly. The second army was full of the unintentional Yunnan Army and some miscellaneous brands that were neither the Yunnan Army nor the Guangdong Army. If such troops attacked at night, it would be equivalent to dying. "Jiesheng, it's better for me to go. Even if you don't fight, you will lose your marches."

"If it's not the case, there are still some revolutionary patriots in the first tier of Jiang Zhiqing's brigade. If they are organized, they can fight." Ju Zhengdao. After he said that, he passed on the order of the night attack without waiting for Li Liejun to answer.

The order was passed from Kunming to the military command center, and then to Jiang Zhiqing, the 1st Brigade of the Second Army, and the Fuxing Army was already in front of him. Deng Keng, who received the night attack order, was also a veteran of the Tongmenghui Revolutionary Regiment. The first tier regiment he led was not inferior to the first army's troops. The key reason was that there were many graduates from Guangzhou Army Primary Schools in the regiment, such as Chen Mingshu, Chen Jitang, Deng Yanda, Zhang Fakui, Xue Yue, etc. Most of these people were originally in Guangdong local troops, but after the Fuxing Army used disaster relief to control the entire Guangdong in the middle of last year, these people ran away from Guangdong under his mobilization and finally entered Yunnan to join the Dharma Protector. After Tang Jiyao poisoned Commander-in-Chief Cai and was shot dead, the Yunnan Army was in turmoil. These platoon leaders raised the level to accept the reorganized Yunnan soldiers.

Taking the order above, Deng Keng immediately ordered Chen Jiongming to organize a suicide squad to prepare for a night attack. At nine o'clock that night, a suicide squad with more than 400 people drank strong wine and set out from Liang Jiatian to attack the Fuxing Army position at the foot of the mountain at night.

Since you often attack the enemy at night, you will naturally be careful about the enemy's night attack. This is human nature. In order to prevent night attacks, the outermost side of the frontier position of the Fuxing Army is a small minefield, with two layers of barbed wire mesh behind, and the first trench behind. Generally speaking, only a small number of soldiers are used as outposts for the first trench, and then a machine gun fire point is arranged to prevent the enemy's strong attack. Other large units are in Tibetan trenches 150 meters later. However, how do you know how to set up the guardian army's positions in the Fuxing Army? In addition, the Fuxing Army usually attacks at night, either by artillery fire to remove landmines and barbed wire mesh barbeds; or by using blasting tubes and mortars to open the way, and few directly touch them like thieves.

The fire of the cannon is limited. Because the Eastern Front battlefield is not available, the Russians themselves do not have it, let alone give them. The most important thing is that they only have little understanding of the standard mines of the Fuxing Army. They know nothing about the use, arrangement and decommissioning of mines without the guidance of veterans. Therefore, when the suicide squad was still demining mines on the periphery, the mines suddenly exploded, and the periphery mines were common in field battles. However, when the Fuxing Army soldiers' firepower reconnaissance of mine explosion sites, the inexperienced team members thought they were discovered, so they immediately fired and prepared to retreat.

If other troops were attacked at night, it was possible to withdraw from the original route. However, the firepower of the Fuxing Army was three-dimensional. Before establishing the defense line, the firepower points and artillery were well aware of the frontier positions. After several incendiary bombs, the artillery of the division headquarters fired. After three minutes of rapid fire, hundreds of living suicide squads immediately turned into broken limbs and broken arms, wild ghosts wandered in the souls. The night attack suicide squad was as Li Liejun said, and the entire army was exhausted.

Protecting the extension positions was only about artillery and the firepower points of the front trench. When the artillery regiment fired, the soldiers of the 15th Division were sleeping and were unmoved at all. Xie Ruyi's Yunnan Army stood up and looked towards the direction of the fire exchange, thinking that they were going to attack. Only after Xie Ruyi asked the command center to make sure that they would not attack, the soldiers were driven back to sleep.

The Fuxing Army was like this, and the guardian army was restless all night. Ju Zheng, Jiang Zhiqing, Deng Keng and others were waiting for the death squad to come back to report the enemy situation; while Li Liejun, Fang Shengtao, Lin Hu, Maoxin and others ordered all troops to guard against each other to prevent the Fuxing Army from using his own way and also launched a night attack on themselves.

The unbearable night passed, and it was not until dawn that more than a dozen dizzy and injured suicide squad members returned to their positions and told them that the attack failed last night and that all the suicide squad members were killed. Li Liejun and Ju Zheng had guessed this result a long time ago, but before they could be sad, the artillery fire of the Fuxing Army seemed to chase the suicide squad members. Because the terrain on the east side of Jiangjiatian was relatively open, the 280mm heavy artillery that had not been exposed for a long time also began to bombard the shells. The flying sound of a train-like shell fell to a large pit of dozens of meters wherever they landed. The roadblocks originally arranged, the trenches dug, and the soldiers garrisoned all turned into powder and became without a trace.

The field cannons were like beating gongs, and heavy cannons were like beating drums. They were constantly beating and dismantling the fighting will of the defenders. The artillery was being attacked for two and a half hours, and they saw the enemy's barrage beginning to extend behind the trenches on their own. When the people who didn't know if this was the artillery trick of the Fuxing Army was hesitating whether to go to the front line of the trenches, the shouts of the Fuxing Army all over the mountains and fields came. At this time, it was too late for the defenders to think of the second line of the trenches. Grenades, shotguns, bayonets, and these things were coming like a trenches. The only thing the soldiers could do was surrender.

On March 20, 2018, the Fuxing Army defeated the Yunnan rebels in Liangjiatian, killed and injured more than 1,300 enemies, captured more than 4,000 people below Li Liejun, the commander of the First Rebel Army, and seized them. After this battle, the rebels had no fighting spirit and retreated back to Kunming without any establishment.
