Chapter 501: Some happy and some sad (1)
At dawn on April 1, seven large and small warships commanded by Navy Director Chen Shaokuan quietly approached the three-kilometer river section downstream of Fuchikou under heavy fog, and launched a fierce shelling at the four-kilometer fortress position of the Gui Army in Fuchikou, the southern bank. The commander of the Poyang Lake Security Division
Lu Chengguang cherished this practical opportunity very much. He led his two brigade commanders and soldiers who had just started to fight under the water war to obey Chen Shaokuan's orders. He fought very easily and was very enjoyable. He used his own advantages several times to approach the enemy fortress and used intensive work.
The two-way machine guns beat the fortress defenders, causing heavy casualties. Six retired German naval officers who served as military advisers and instructors highly praised the soldiers' bravery, but also seriously criticized Lu Chengguang and several brigade commanders.
He is very rash and aggressive, and violates the rules.
Jiang Dingwen and Hu Jialin's two artillery regiments bombarded the enemy's positions at the same time with the naval guns. In the last five minutes of the artillery bombing, the soldiers of the New First Brigade Machine Cannon Battalion and the New Second Brigade Machine Cannon Battalion were bravely charged under the leadership of the deputy division commander Gu Changfeng.
, Forty-eight mortars fired twelve rounds of artillery shells in the enemy group 2.8 kilometers away from the enemy's position, Gan Lichu's 27th Brigade, Yue Xiangru, the 26th Brigade, who served as the brigade commander, and Zhao Rui's new third
More than 13,000 soldiers of the six main regiments of the brigade launched a charge amid the loud charge. In just half an hour, they completely occupied the bloody enemy positions all over the ground. The Gui army had 20,000.
Only more than 14,000 officers and soldiers were left with only 5,000 soldiers fled to Daye in a panic.
Jiang Dingwen sent a good news to Chiang Kai-shek, and immediately ordered his troops not to stop and continue to pursue the victory. Hu Jialin and Gu Changfeng led their soldiers back to the dock, and took a fleet of ships under the cover of five gunboats, heading against the current and heading towards strategic locations and industries.
Lime kiln (Yellow Stone).
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the central government published Chiang Kai-shek's full text "Letter to the Gui Army" and informed the whole country of Jiang Dingwen's 9th Division and Hu Jialin's Independent Division of the strategic fortress Fuchikou.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the Northwest Army who had been watching coldly, saw that the situation was clear, sent a telegram to the whole country in Huashan, announcing that all the soldiers of the Northwest Army responded to the central order and formally sent troops to attack the Guangxi clique. Then he ordered his general Han Fuqu. Shi Yousan immediately rushed to the south to attack Wu.
Shengguan and Xiangfan, an important town in northern Hubei.
In order to prevent the Central Air Force bombing, Hu Zongduo and other Guangxi generals who had moved their command to Huangpi were already moved. Seeing that the situation was over, they were in power, and according to Li Zongren's telegram order, they immediately ordered their subordinates to retreat to Wuhan and resist to the death. The Central Army units pursued them reluctantly and took steps.
After erosion, the Gui army finally faced an unprecedented crisis of destruction since its establishment.
However, before the Guangxi divisions retreated to Wuhan and went to Xiaogan, Li Mingrui's troops, who had been holding troops, had been stationary after the two divisions and brigades of Yang Tenghui's troops suddenly issued a telegram across the country, announcing that they would support the central government's commitment to peaceful reunification.
Hu Zongduo and dozens of generals were exhausted and rushed out of Wuhan and fled to western Hubei to survive.
Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Huang Shaohong received news of Li Mingrui and Yang Tenghui's rebellion. For a moment, Li Zongren had just published a "Resistance Letter of Gui Army soldiers" against Li Mingrui and Yang Tenghui's rebellion and surrendered to the enemy. The bad news came from Li Mingrui and Yang Tenghui's rebellion and surrender to the enemy.
The son collapsed to the ground. Huang Shaohong cursed and finally lay weakly on the sofa. Bai Chongxi was silent for ten minutes with a blue face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: Mr. Jiang was too bullying, so he secretly called Tang Shengzhi to separate him.
The two armies then put the house arrest and removed the backbone of the Guangdong army. At the same time, they invited the scum Yu Zuobai to alienate our Seventh Army. They peeled their skin, cramped and finally dug their hearts. The moves were vicious and extremely vicious!
The powerful Guangxi faction was defeated in a blink of an eye, which shocked the whole country. Commander-in-Chief Jiang's reputation was at its peak. Warlords from all over the country, including the warlords far away in Xinjiang, also sent a telegram to express their congratulations to the central government. Longyun, Yunnan and Li Shen from Guizhou issued a telegram to support the central government. , formed a coalition forces to attack Guangxi from west to east, and had already squeezed Huang Shaohong and the Gui army stationed in Beijiang out of Guangdong. Chen Jitang saw that the overall situation in Hunan had been settled, and then gathered troops to go to the border between Guangdong and Guangxi to prepare to attack the Gui army. Zhang Xueliang from Northeast China sent Chiang Kai-shek The congratulatory message once again stated that it would support the central government, crack down on separatism and promote unity.
When the whole country was bustling with noise, An Yi was already sitting at the Forty-fourth headquarters at the foot of Bijia Mountain in Gancheng, Xiangxi, gathered with old friends such as Zhang Hongluan, Shi Zhen, and raised his glass to drink.
Zhang Hongluan's nephew Zhang Shaodong, who had just been approved to be promoted to the commander of the Third Division, accompanied by two deputy members. The 29-year-old former Taoyuan County garrison commander actively contacted the garrison regiments of the surrounding counties during this battle to retreat to western Hunan for Tan Daoyuan's division. He made great contributions to attacking Changde again.
When An Yi led his troops into Changsha, Zhang Shaodong resolutely rejected the position of commander of the temporary Eighth Division entrusted by He Jian. Yan obeyed Zhang Hongluan's orders and led three regiments to Changde, announcing his appointment as commander of the Third Division of the 44th Army. Zhang Shaodong's old classmate and sworn brother in Hunan martial arts lecture hall, former leader of Cili garrison Tan Liangde was promoted to deputy division commander, and Hanshou garrison Cheng Mingzhe was promoted to chief of staff of the division.
As Zhang Cunzhuang's First Division and Deng Bin's Second Division, Wei Yangxin, adapted from the first division of Zhang Cunzhuang and the second division of Wei Yangxin, had quietly moved north according to the combat plan, and joined forces with Yin Jishi to attack Yichang. The third division of Zhang Shaodong, which was stationed in Changde and surrounding counties, was expanded due to the change of clothes and expansion. , he could only stay in the original defense zone to serve as a left-behind task and carry out training. This time, Zhang Shaodong and others met An Yi for the first time, just like some generals and schools of the 44th Army. They were quite surprised to see An Yi, who was famous all over the country, and were very polite and young. , he felt very intimate about An Yi's sincere attitude and unpretentious generous manner.
After the luncheon, Zhang Hongluan, An Yi and others, accompanied by Gao Mingde, the new director of the 44th Army's Military Chief and director of the Xiangxi Arsenal, rode their horses to the arsenal located in the valley of the western foot of Bijia Mountain. An Yi was with Zhang Hongluan and Gao Mingde. The vision was greatly appreciated, saying that this valley with an area of more than 300 acres is towering cliffs on both sides, with a small river flowing through the north and south in the middle. It is less than three kilometers away from the county town by water and land. It is indeed a good condition and easy to guard. A good place to attack.
Zhang Hongluan and others were very happy. They entered the valley entrance where the fort and the observation deck had been built, and proudly pointed to the hole vaguely at the foot of the mountain and told An Yi:
"Did you see that hole? The mouth is narrow and the belly is wide, and there is a unique cave. Now it is blasting and leveling. In one month, it will become an ammunition depot covering an area of three acres. The four-row brick-concrete building on both sides of the hole is the firearms workshop. , The open area of the deep valley at 1.2 kilometers south is the gunpowder factory, and the three rows of large houses connected on the other side of the river are the ammunition factory. More than 100 masters brought by Mingde from the old Nanchang Arsenal led the newly recruited workers and disabled Brothers and their families have the current scale of equipment installed, thanks to Mingde."
An Yi looked at his old subordinate Gao Mingde behind him and said with a smile: "Old Gao, thank you for your hard work and your brothers!"
"Don't say that the teacher is so disgusting. When the teacher was in Changsha, he was in charge of his subordinates and entered the model camp. After entering Zhejiang, he promoted his subordinates to the second lieutenant of the Military Control Department. When he fought with the Yangtze River, his subordinates had become captains. Deputy Section Chief, and later served as the manager of Jiangnan Factory with Chief Shi Lejun. In just three years, he was promoted from an ordinary repairman at Changsha Shipyard to deputy director of Jiangnan Factory, and now he has become the 44th Army Military Service Office. The director of Changhe Xiangxi Factory, without the trust of Chief Zhang and the division, where are the subordinates today?
I am from Hengyang, Hunan. I was transferred back to Hunan to be responsible for the construction and development of the Xiangxi factory. It is also a blessing to return to my hometown. I am deeply grateful and will definitely not let down the expectations of the division and commander Zhang. I will do my best to achieve it.
The commander’s majestic plan is to build the Xiangxi factory into the second Jiangnan factory!”
The twenty-eight-year-old Gao Mingde expressed his emotion and firmly.
Zhang Hongluan and Chief of Staff Zeng Yaokun nodded repeatedly with a smile, obviously appreciating Gao Mingde very much. An Yi asked in a low voice: "Old Gao, do you need me to do something in the near future?"
Gao Mingde thought for a while and said, "Just get more oil and supply a few generator sets. Others are not needed at the moment. A set of water-cooled heavy machine gun production equipment just shipped from Hengyang, an almost brand new bullet production line.
In the process of installing, four old-fashioned gun repair machine tools can be used after transformation. A batch of old and semi-new equipment supported by Jiangnan Factory, more than 300 tons of raw materials and eleven original machine tools have arrived. It is enough for us to digest in the short term. Installation
The commissioning can be completed and the second step can be implemented after the worker is trained and the operation is proficient. It is estimated that the gunpowder factory will operate normally within half a year. There is sufficient raw materials in western Hunan and northern Guizhou areas. Once it is done, it can also provide gunpowder for the Jiangnan factory."
