Chapter 919: Righteous Expansion (1)
Compared with Nanxi City and Xufucheng, which are bursting with joy and laughter like festivals, Wulong County on the north bank of the Wujiang River in eastern Sichuan has a heavy concentration of soldiers and a chill. All roads and docks within a radius of five kilometers have been blocked for two consecutive days.
The strict notice of only entering and not exiting was strictly observed under the black muzzle of the gun and the shining triangular bayonet.
As early as the morning of the 20th, three arrogant Wulong City bullies took advantage of their family's century-old status in the world and several members of the clan to lead troops in the Sichuan Army. They simply ignored the 24th Army that suddenly entered the county and quickly launched a blockade.
The advance regiment of the Thirty-ninth Division took it as a serious matter. Like all the local snakes in Bashu, they did not buy the face of the guest army at all. They were sent forward several times when they left the city.
After the officers and soldiers of the regiment pointed at the notice on the wall and stopped them, the bully who had been dominating this land for decades finally lost his patience and immediately went home to cobble together more than 300 servants to carry the "Wulong Security Regiment"
Under the horrified gaze of the people in the city, they roared in unison with their chests and bellies exposed, and violently attacked the guard post at the entrance to the west lane of the city.
What everyone didn't expect was that before the three hundred fierce and fierce men of the "Wulong Security Group" could rush within fifty meters of the checkpoint, a burst of intense rifle fire suddenly sounded.
A bully and a strong man carrying a Czech machine gun with a butt sprouting from his head
The blood mist instantly killed them on the spot. More than 300 strong men who were originally powerful were instantly thrown into chaos. Nearly half of them had roots under their feet as if they were possessed by evil spirits and were unable to move. They were frightened by the sudden and huge fear.
His liver and gallbladder were split, he was trembling, and the sword and gun in his hand fell to the ground.
Immediately after the two machine guns behind the checkpoint bunker pointed at the sky and fired a warning, more than two hundred heavily armed Anjia officers and soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded more than three hundred men who were in a panic.
Roaring in unison, scaring
More than a hundred people in the circle fell to the ground. Just as the four stubborn leaders were about to raise their rifles, bullets flew from nowhere and their heads exploded, causing their brains to splatter. The rest knelt on the ground and raised their hands.
There is no choice anymore.
Almost at the same time as the gunfire sounded, the three major wealthy families in the city were surrounded by officers and soldiers from two companies of the Anjia Army. A total of more than 120 people from the three families were escorted directly to the Yamen in the city. All their properties were confiscated.
The granaries, shops, and dock entrances and exits were all filled with Anjia officers and soldiers armed with live ammunition.
An hour later, nearly a thousand officers and soldiers came quickly from the east and west. The two generals on horseback met in the south of the city. They greeted each other with a knowing smile and then led their troops into the city.
Another hour later, a crisp sound of gunfire rang out again on the low-lying tidal flats by the Wujiang River in the south of the city. The three wealthy families had committed many evil deeds, and more than 30 stubborn people died.
At this point, no one in Wulong County dared to say a word no anymore, and the terms of the notice were strictly observed. A group of elderly people and old men and women in the city who had suffered great hatred were politely and politely invited into the county by the officers and soldiers.
Yamen, serving tea, cigarettes
During the reception, the old Nanchang "Golden Monkey Milk Candies" and "Fuqiang Biscuits" that I had only heard of before were placed on the table. Several young Sichuan officers greeted the trembling villagers one by one with a cheerful face, and then sat down and started chatting.
Homely.
Under the big tree in the backyard of the county government office, Zhang Cunzhuang, the commander of the 44th Army who was responsible for the joint bandit suppression operation, and Xia Jian, the newly promoted deputy commander of the 24th Army, came side by side and surrounded the stone table with seven or eight generals.
Maps and whispered conversations. In a side room more than ten meters away from the big tree, dozens of staff officers were setting up a temporary headquarters in an orderly manner.
"The Third Division of our army has firmly controlled the 60-kilometer front line from Yushan, Pengshui to Yunfeng. According to the latest decision made by my uncle and Commander An in the Syrian government, the 7th Brigade of our security force will launch a battle at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
, officially handed over all defenses to Brother Jingxian (the newly promoted commander of the 39th Division of the 24th Army, Min Jingxian). The Third Division under Brother Yu also temporarily stayed in Pengshui. Whether to advance or retreat, I will wait for your word.
"Zhang Cunzhuang said to Xia Jian with a smile.
Xia Jian laughed: "Brother Cun Zhangang, aren't you trying to bully me? Before I came, the commander had already given instructions that Brother Cun Zhuang should take priority in everything. All orders must be approved by Brother Cun Zhuang before they can be issued. The biggest thing for me is
The task is to get familiar with the situation at the junction of Sichuan, Guizhou and Hunan as soon as possible, and to do all the preliminary work for the 39th Division to be stationed in Daozhen for a long time. Haha, brother, you are welcome, who of our brothers is following whom?"
All the generals were immediately amused by Xia Jian's playful smile.
This time, because Chiang Kai-shek secretly summoned He Jian, the prudent Zhang Hongluan had to make corresponding adjustments in advance. In addition, Wang Jialie and the Yuguocai tribe on the other side of the Hunan-Guizhou border were still fighting fiercely, fighting to the death, seriously threatening
Xiangxi
To ensure the stability and development of the area under his jurisdiction, Zhang Hongluan had to transfer the 1st Division of the 44th Army and three security brigades to the strategically important Changde, Xiushan and Songtao areas at the junction of Hunan and Guizhou to strengthen vigilance to ensure that Xiangxi, which was developing steadily,
Security throughout.
As a result, Zhang Hongluan, who implemented the policy of "orderly disarmament and hiding troops among the people" simultaneously with An Yi, had a bit of difficulty in deploying troops.
Secondly, after An Yi stayed in the Xu Mansion for a long time, he would definitely develop his ambitions. As an elder, Zhang Hongluan reciprocated the favor and generously handed over Daozhen to An Yi's management. Firstly, it could help Anyi. Secondly, Daozhen was far away from western Hunan, and
It is a place that all parties in Sichuan and Guizhou have been eyeing for years, especially
Especially after the Hunan-Guizhou-Sichuan Highway was built, both Liu Xiang and Wang Jialie complained about Zhang Hongluan's occupation of Daozhen. Zhang Hongluan handed Daozhen to An Yi, who was also from Sichuan. Not only could he withdraw from the dispute gracefully, but he could also save a lot of money.
The military expenditures were increased and the elite troops stationed in Daozhen were transferred to more useful places.
Furthermore, after An Yi occupied Daozhen, the entire transportation line related to the military and political interests of western Hunan, western Guizhou, and southern Sichuan was more secure. With An Yi's strong financial resources and large-scale investment, in less than two years, the economy of the Daozhen area would be greatly improved.
It will develop rapidly, which will be of great benefit to Shizhen’s Qianxi and the main Xiangxi. Why wouldn’t Zhang Hongluan do it?
An Yi obtained Daozhen, and the Wanshengchang, Nanchuan, and Qijiang occupied by Liu Xiang were bound to be under An Yi's eye. Since ancient times, Wanshunchang and Qijiang have been constantly changing in the territory of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, sometimes belonging to Guizhou
It is under the jurisdiction of Tongzi Road and sometimes under the control of Chongqing Prefecture in Sichuan. Since the Republic of China, it has been subject to the dominance of the jungle by warlords in various periods. It has frequently changed its owners, and even the local people have engaged in
People who don’t know which province they belong to. After the Nanjing government came to power, it clarified that Nanchuan and Qijiang belong to Sichuan in the national administrative divisions. However, at present, Sichuan and Qianjiang provinces still only obey the central government in name. In fact, they still go their own way and are highly
Autonomy and the problems left over from history cannot be solved at all. The local people who are far away from the sky and the emperor don't even know who the boss of the Republic of China is.
Therefore, how could the ambitious General An Jiajun and a group of unwilling counselors hidden behind the scenes miss the God-given opportunity to win in chaos and expand step by step?
Xia Jian, who seems to be rough, actually has a delicate side. He easily obtained the excellent foothold of Daozhen from Zhang Hongluan's uncle and nephew. He naturally knows how to thank him, so in this joint anti-bandit operation, he rarely
The command was handed over to Zhang Cunzhuang, and the 300 brothers of the 44th Division Special Forces Brigade were generously handed over to Zhang Cunzhuang. Zhang Cunzhuang had full command. Xia Jian himself was willing to take action, and he was willing and in a happy mood.
Zhang Cunzhuang, who had become more experienced and matured after several years of fighting, no longer held back his politeness, and ordered Zhang Shaodong, the commander of the Third Division, to immediately conduct radio contact with the Special Forces Brigade of the Third Division and Wang Xulun's 44th Division Special Forces Brigade, which had penetrated into the "Sharp Gun Club" nest in Fairy Mountain in advance.
Then he stopped worrying about the rabble of the "Snapshot Club" and turned to the map again, using red and blue pencils to draw a circle in Hexi Town, thirty kilometers west of Daozhen:
"Brother Xia, Hexi Town is one of the main passages from Wanshengchang and Nanchuan City to Hunan and Guizhou. In the three years since our army entered Daozhen, 50% of the smuggled opium seized was dispersed from this gathering point in Hexi Town.
A group place in Hexi Town
Xiong Jiaying, who was armed by Fang, also belonged to the Xiong Jiaying Security Brigade in Wanshengchang. Like Liu Xiang, Xiong Jiaying was a disciple of Liu Congyun, the magic stick. However, Xiong Jiaying did not give Liu Xiang face. Liu Xiang tried to recruit Xiong Jiaying's more than 5,000 men several times.
None of them got what they wanted, go
In 2006, Liu Xiang served as the Sichuan Province aftermath supervisor and was responsible for the deployment of the province's armed forces. He once threatened to cancel Xiong Jiaying's "Southeast Sichuan Security Brigade" banner. However, because Xiong Jiaying took Liu Congyun's route, Liu Xiang had to give up. This year
Huang Han
The troops attacked Nanchuan three times, but Xiong Jiaying, who was close at hand, did not help Liu Xiang. This shows the deep grudge between the two. But if we want to kill Xiong Jiaying in one fell swoop, I am afraid Liu Xiang will not agree. Therefore, I suggest that we should act cautiously and not
Too anxious."
Xia Jian was very aware of the relationship and strength between Xiong Jiaying and Liu Xiang. He originally wanted to wait until the "Snapshot Club" was wiped out, and then immediately wipe out this bandit force that was separatist. Now that he heard Zhang Cunzhuang's suggestion, he couldn't help but reveal his emotions.
With a thoughtful look: "Let's do this, I won't do it either."
Urgent, report your elder brother's opinion to the headquarters, and the headquarters will make a decision. Although the commander gave the younger brother full power to handle the situation before departure, the younger brother also asked two brigades, the 1st Division of the 39th Division and the 1st Division of the 44th Division, to do their best.
I'm ready for action, but after hearing what my elder brother said, it's better to be cautious."
Zhang Cunzhuang smiled and was about to say something when Zhang Shaodong strode over with his face glowing red.
"Report to the military, the sharpshooting meeting is over." Zhang Shaodong cheerfully submitted the message.
"What?"
Zhang Cunzhuang and Xia Jian exclaimed at the same time. Neither of them expected that the fight would be so smooth and fast.
Zhang Shaodong proudly reported: "Brothers from our division's special brigade and the 44th division's special brigade were already in place in the early morning, and respectively controlled the east and west valley entrances of Lion Rock, the headquarters of the Sharpshooters Association. Colonel Zhang Shaowu, captain of our division's special brigade, and the 44th division's special brigade
After discussing with Colonel Xiaozonghua, he fired at the Sharpshooter Association who were having dinner at noon.
We launched an attack and ended the battle in only forty-five minutes. We achieved an excellent record of annihilating all 847 enemy bandits without a single one slipping through the net. We captured more than 700 long and short guns, and found more than 30,000 yuan in cash and more than 100 pieces of smoke.
A load of gold jewelry. Twenty-seven brothers from the two groups were killed in the battle, and more than sixty were injured. What a rare victory!"
"Who is Zhang Shaowu? When did eldest brother have such a strong general under his command?" Xia Jian asked with interest.
Zhang Cunzhuang took the telegram and pointed to Zhang Shaodong: "He is Shaodong's third brother. Brother Deng Bin is familiar with him. Brother Deng Bin taught Shaowu's marksmanship step by step, haha!"
Xia Jian looked at Zhang Shaodong happily: "It's really great to fight tiger brothers!"
Zhang Shaodong chuckled: "The attack was originally planned to be in the evening. At that time, all the gangsters of the Sharpshooter Association would have withdrawn their troops and returned to camp, so there would be no fish left unscathed. However, Shaowu and the others finally decided to launch the attack in advance after repeated requests from reporters accompanying the army.
Attack, hehe! The reason is stated on the telegram."
Xia Jian turned to Zhang Cunzhuang in surprise. Zhang Cunzhuang shook his head and smiled, and handed the telegram to Xia Jian:
"The reporters sent by your political department said it was best to take pictures at noon. They were worried that it would be foggy in the afternoon and they could not see clearly, so they took action in advance, grandma! This Zhang Shaowu, come back and see if I don't punish him..."
