1908 Far East Maniac Chapter 151 Battle chóngqìng

Celebrate. It is known as the "mountain city". It is also referred to as "the mountains around the city" because of the Yuzhong Peninsula where it is based. A Zhongliang Mountain. 1. Causeway Mountain. The towering two mountains support the left and right. It is bordered by the Yangtze River in the south. The north is the Jialing River. Mountains and rivers are at risk. A soldier must do it. Since ancient times, the Sichuan will be conquered. Guarding the river must defend Chongqing. Occupying chóngqìng is equivalent to occupying half of Sichuan.

Ordered the army to be republican. Zhao Erxun, the governor of Sichuan, moved against the flow of the times. brazenly raised troops against the republic. Complicity with the stubborn forces of the Manchus. Vainly trying to use a rabble against the army of righteousness. Mayfly trees. Laugh pitifully. Its Manchu dynasty was foolish and loyal to this. What can I do?

"Be fearless. purging the anti-rebellion; The Great Darkness of the Revolution! ”

This is the slogan of the swearing-in of the Southern Expeditionary Department. The first to shout this slogan was Mr. Sun, the leader of the Alliance. The slogan quickly spread throughout the country. Soon. The troops of the Western Expedition also shouted this slogan. And it was further exerted by Zhao Zhenhua, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army:

"With the courage of the revolution. The Great Darkness of Destiny! With the great brilliance of republican civil rights. Purge the remnants of the imperial system! ”

Shouting this slogan. The Second Army, which was dominated by the communist army, marched into Sichuan in three ways. Morale is like a rainbow. Scrappy. It swept through the east of Sichuan like a bamboo. In less than half a month, it has successively recovered Kuimen, Wanxian, Chungju, Duzhou and other important towns in eastern Sichuan. Along the way, the people ate pot pulp to welcome the righteous teacher. The armed forces of the various associations rose up in response to the Western Expedition. Attack the county seat. It was only a short time to kill the officials. The whole of eastern Sichuan has become a revolutionary party. Military and political sub-governments subordinate to the republic were established one after another. At the head of the city, the iron-blooded republican flag and the five-sè flag fluttered.

The Second Army not only had the Hubei team. There was the revolutionary army of Henan and Hunan. They are allies of the Republican Army. They were also under the command of Zhao Bei, the commander of the Second Army. When I first entered the river. Due to the fact that artillery and shells supported by the Republican Army have not yet arrived. These two units were unable to enter Sichuan for a long time to fight. Now the republic has taken a series of victories in the east of Sichuan. It's like a magnet. Attract the Qing troops in Sichuan. The frontal military pressure of the Republican Army suddenly increased, and it was time for the Allies to enter the battle in Sichuan. Under the arrangement of the Commander-in-Chief. The artillery and military aid were finally delivered to the Allies "in time" before the start of the battle. Thereupon. The Allied forces, which had long been impatient, were launched.

On the day when the republican army was restored, the Hunan Communist Association armed the "revolutionary coalition army" and entered Sichuan through Guizhou. The province that had been vacillating since the Revolution was subdued. Then the troops marched north. In one fell swoop, conquering Pingguanjiang, the gateway to southern Sichuan, the soldiers continued to the north, pointing directly at Chóngqìng Province. Same. Under the command of Yang Wangpeng, the head of the Henan Endeavor Society, the armed forces of the Henan Endeavor Society gave up the operational goal of capturing Tongguan and instead entered Shaanxi from Shangzhou in southern Shaanxi and joined the party rebels of the Southern Shaanxi Society in Hanzhong. After a short rest, he divided his troops into two routes and attacked Xi'an all the way north. The main forces quickly moved south. Straight to the gateway to the north of Sichuan. Under the response of the Northern Sichuan People's Army, it successfully entered Sichuan. The soldiers pointed directly at the capital.

The military situation is very good. The communist army, which was the main force of the Second Army of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, struck while the iron was hot. Take a break in the state town. With the whole army westward march swept away the stubborn forces. However, after a few rì efforts, it approached chóngqìng. It's easy to take the chóngqìng portal yellow kudzu tree. An uphill battle ensued. Take the Qing army formation on Causeway Mountain. Raise the cannon at the commanding heights. Condescending and threatening the city of chóngqìng.

Zhao Erxun, the governor of Sichuan, knew that it was important and important. After the fall, heavy reinforcements were sent to chóngqìng. Ma Liang, the garrison general of the Chengdu Eight Banners, was the presidential officer. 80,000 soldiers under his command. Equipped with new cannons. It is known as Bing Jīng Machinery Foot. Oath to stick to chóngqìng. Annihilated the Republican army under the city. To motivate morale. Ma Liang ordered the coated slave to carry the coffin into the weight. It looks like a horse leather shroud. On the contrary, the low morale of the Qing army was lifted a little. Relying on the shape of |. The Qing army resisted stubbornly. Chóngqìng has almost become a large fortress.

But history is ahead. Anyone who tries to obstruct the progress of history will be crushed by it. Zhao Erxun is no exception. He did a lot of calculations. I just didn't count that the most vulnerable thing about any fortress was its interior. After the state city light. The Republican Army has planted a pawn in Chóngqìng. Acting as a time bomb horn sè. As long as the timing is right. It's going to explode. Dealt a heavy blow to the Qing army from the inside.

This chess piece is Tian Zhenbang, the chief soldier of Jianchang Town. This Qing army general who was born in the robe brother and "Red Flag Steward" has long been in Cao Ying, and his heart is in Han. Before the state city was broken, it had secretly communicated with the Republican Army. Arrange it. He threw the state city to the Republican Army. Carrying tens of thousands of Qing troops to retreat to Chóngqìng. As the state lord will the horse fell ill and died on the way. All the departments are under the control of Tian Zhenbang. Tens of thousands of routs retreated to Chóngqìng. Rightfully joined the defender sequence. Defend the area around Chaotianmen. Although Tian Zhenbang was reprimanded by Zhao Erxun for the loss of the state. A punishment of "dismissal and retention" was given. But the military power was not lost. The next group of brothers in the robe still controlled the troops. This unit is still surnamed Tian. Mutiny is just one chance.

When the artillery shells of the Hejun army flew from Causeway Mountain to Chóngqìng Chaotianmen Wharf. Tian Zhenbang knows. His chance has arrived. So an order was given. Cronies are out. Fanning the flames everywhere. Late that night. The Qing army withdrew from Chaotianmen without authorization. The formation was immediately taken over by the Republican Special Operations Battalion, which had smuggled across the river. When the republican forces were concentrating on Chaotianmen one after another. Tian Zhenbang led the troops. Guide the special operations battalion commando team to go straight to the yamen of the government office. A fierce battle. Occupy the official premises. Sheng, capture, pseudo-Qingchuan Dongdao, Zhu Youji, patrol Jǐng, General Administration, Yang Tiren, Chóngqìng, prefect, Niu Chuanshan, etc. Defeated Chengdu General Ma Liang. Destroy the command center of the Qing army in one fell swoop. The Qing army was in turmoil. It was also attacked by the Chaotianmen Republican Army at night. Heavy losses. The morale of the army was shaken. At the instigation of the Pao Brothers' Party, they formed a formation and surrendered to the Republican Army. A small number of flag soldiers and the patrol battalion resisted stubbornly. Fierce battle with the Republican Army. Run out of ammunition and food. In the end, it was not enough. All of them were annihilated under the powerful offensive of the Republican Army.

rì noon. Red flags were raised at all the commanding heights of Chóngqìng. The mountain city was recovered.

In the afternoon, the whole one. Surrounded by the guards. Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, went ashore on the gunboat "Chujia" at Chaotianmen Wharf. Officially entered the chóngqìng.

In order to form a military-government sub-government. The highly efficient military, political, and civil affairs departments under the command of the commander were quickly mobilized. Posted a notice to the people, searched for the remnants of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, sheltered stragglers, and calmed the people who were affected by the disaster...... All kinds of work are carried out in an orderly manner. In a short period of time, the chóngqìng order was stabilized.

Since the battle ended in a short time. The merchants and people of Chóngqìng did not suffer much. Therefore, it is the Chóngqìng Chamber of Commerce that takes the lead. The people of the city soon organized a labor army. The beating of gongs and drums drove the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks of the revolutionary soldiers to the barracks. The bill of exchange of 500,000 taels of silver, which had been promised a long time ago, was also brought to the General Staff by Zhu Zhihong, a member of the General Chamber of Commerce.

The Republican Army only took the duck, cow and sheep. The bill of exchange for 500,000 taels was politely declined by the commander-in-chief. After having a cordial conversation with CPPCC member Zhu Zhihong. The Commander-in-Chief suggested to the secret member of the Confederacy. The money was used to set up a "bridge repair fund" and raise money on this basis. Use the funds to build an iron bridge in Chóngqìng that would allow trains to pass. Improve traffic conditions in Chóngqìng. It is convenient for the people to travel. And contribute to the future construction of Sichuan Railway.

The Chóngqìng Chamber of Commerce was happy to accept this suggestion. At the warm invitation of the commander-in-chief, Zhu Zhihong, the representative of the plenipotentiary, attended the commendation meeting within the army as a chóngqìng citizen.

At the commendation meeting. Fifty ordinary soldiers who had shown themselves in battle were personally received by the commander-in-chief. And the commander-in-chief personally put on the medal for them. This "Battle Warrior" medal was the first standard of merit for the Republican Army. It is specially made by Wuhan Silver Circle Bureau. Brass. Because it is engraved with the words "Iron Blood". Therefore, it is also called the "Iron Medal". In addition to receiving medals. Some of the brave fighters are promoted. The few literate soldiers were sent to the officer academy for further study. And all of them had the opportunity to take a photo with the commander-in-chief alone. Table after the General Assembly. The commander-in-chief also attended the memorial service. At the ceremony. The commander-in-chief read out the "Law on Preferential Treatment for Martyrs' Families," which had just been drafted by the General Staff. This is the official end of the integration of the regular forces of the Republican Army.

Of course. The Republican Army alone could not conquer Chóngqìng in this way. The generals of the Ichikawa Army also made great contributions. The reward is still to be rewarded.

Battle of Chóngqìng. Tian Zhenbang defected before the battle. Lots of credit. In return. Zhao Bei [**] in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army. Tian Zhenbang's positive response to the revolution was expressed. At the same time, he sent a telegram to President Yuan Shikai. recommended Tian Zhenbang as the "Guardian of Southern Sichuan Town". Establishment of a town guard in the state. During the military and political period, he was in charge of the military and civilian affairs of Xuzhou Prefecture, Ningyuan, and Xuyong.

All taxes are in the three houses and one office. In addition to the salt tax, which is supervised by the salt administration officials appointed by the salt administration of the six southwestern provinces. Other taxes are supervised by the South Sichuan Town Guard. Whether the centigold is improved or not. Leave it to your own devices.

Receive the letter of appointment. Tian Zhenbang was afraid that he would have a lot of dreams at night. After receiving a small number of artillery pieces handed over by the Republican Army. On the same day, he resigned to the director-general. Lead the troops out of chóngqìng. Together with the advance team of the Republican Army, they went up the Yangtze River. The state capital was attacked.

After counting rì. The news of Chóngqìng's recovery reached Nanguan and Jiang. News of the Mutual Advancement Association. Convene a military conference for urgent consultations. It was decided to change the direction of the march. No more going to chóngqìng. Rather, it attacked the state to the west. The soldiers pointed directly at the Xuzhou capital. Now that chóngqìng has fallen into the hands of the Republican Army. The meeting seems to have no plug-in phone. Therefore. Xuzhou has naturally become a new target. Well salt there is a huge source of wealth. The Hunan army has long been salivating. To avoid misunderstandings. The Communist Advancement Association sent someone to hold a letter written by Sun Wu, the governor of Hunan. Rush to chóngqìng. Trying to get an understanding with the IRA side. Meanwhile.
