Republic of China game

"What else can I do besides fighting hard?" Qu Ying shook her head, her expression a little sad: "There will be problems in Beijing at any time, I have brought some workers to picket, and I will send you to the Soviet embassy for temporary shelter. Our important comrades in Beijing will also be there."

At this moment, the faint sound of gunfire came from a distance. It seemed to be from the direction of Nancheng. It should be the National Army living in Nanyuan. It was the troops of Liu Yufen, Han Fuqu and Shi Yousan. It seemed that they were the ones responsible for the coup. Vanguard.And Lu Zhonglin's department stationed in the city probably just refused to obey orders and kept silent about the coup, so they probably wouldn't raise their butcher knives against the Communists, right?

"Who is commanding the picket team in Nancheng?" Luo Yaoguo asked Qu Ying in a low voice.

"It's Comrade Zhang Tailei. He is in charge of the South City." Qu Ying's face was full of worry.Their brother and sister have a very good relationship with Zhang Tailei, and they have worked together since Guangzhou.

Chapter 0137 coup (fifteen)

The sound of rumbling cannons continued to be heard in the distance, Luo Yaoguo took Qu Ying to the window of the room, and together they looked at the burning south of the city. It is estimated that the rebels are bombarding Yongdingmen right now.

Hearing the sound of artillery from the south, Luo Yaoguo asked Qu Ying in surprise, "Did you give those 24 Min 13 mountain artillery to the National Army?"

"Yeah!" Qu Ying gritted her teeth and nodded: "Our troops replaced a batch of Soviet field artillery, so we gave these Japanese-style mountain artillery to the National Army. I didn't expect these artillery to become accomplices in massacring the working class! "

The 24 civilian 13-type mountain cannons allocated to the National Army have been neatly placed outside the Majiapu Railway Station, which is only 3 miles away from Yongdingmen.At this time, the Majiabao Railway Station had been requisitioned by the rebel leader, Liu Yufen, the former commander of the First Army of the National Army, as the headquarters.According to his deployment, Shi Yousan's mixed brigade will serve as the main force to attack Yongdingmen, and the 24 mountain artillery that have just been assigned to the National Army Artillery Brigade will be responsible for providing fire support for Shi Yousan.

"Boom boom boom—" With the deafening sound of cannonballs, hundreds of 75mm shells with fiery red ballistics roared and flew towards the ancient Yongdingmen tower.The moment the cannonball touched the city wall, it turned into huge orange fireballs with a loud noise, and the huge shock wave burst out as the cannonball exploded, engulfing countless tiny metal fragments and sweeping across the entire city tower area , Any life exposed to the gunfire will be turned into a corpse emitting black smoke and scorching smell at this moment.Due to lack of training and actual combat experience, the worker pickets defending Yongdingmen were deployed on the city towers and walls from the beginning, and became live targets for the rebel artillery.After a full 10 minutes of artillery preparation, the entire Yongdingmen gate was already in flames. The chances of those worker pickets who lacked cover to survive this density of shelling were extremely slim.

"Oh my god! Why is this artillery firing endlessly!" Qu Ying buried her head in Luo Yaoguo's arms again, shedding tears, and her ears were filled with the roaring sound of the devil.

10 minutes was a short 10 minutes for the artillerymen who fired the cannon, and it was over before the cannon was finished.For the side that was bombed, it was more than ten years.

"It's okay, it's okay, the enemy is still far away." Luo Yaoguo comforted Qu Ying in a low voice while stroking Qu Ying's back.

At this time, in the headquarters of the workers' picket team not far from Yongdingmen, the captain Xiang Zhongfa had long since disappeared. He claimed to have gone to Xishan to defend the Party Central Committee, and handed over the command to the man who had just arrived here. Zhang Tailei and Qu Ming.Although the two young communists had no combat experience, they still bravely took on the heavy responsibility of defending the revolutionary regime.

"Xion, you stay here to command. If Yongding Gate falls, you will lead people to retreat to Qianmen Railway Station." Zhang Tailei patted Qu Ming on the shoulder: "I'll go to the front to supervise the battle." Without waiting for Qu Ming to speak, So he picked up a rifle, took a few Communist Party members and ran towards the Yongdingmen Tower, and never came back.

The first attack organized by Shi Yousan began. Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Eighth Brigade of the former national army, carrying ladders and carrying rifles, marched slowly towards the city walls and towers under the cover of mortars and machine guns.

“Papapa——” Disorganized gunshots rang out, and the surviving pickets on the towers and walls fought back bravely after receiving reinforcements.However, they did not realize that the enemy was still beyond their likely range.

"Fuwen, can you hold it?" Hearing the faint gunshots in the distance, Qu Ying stared at Luo Yaoguo's face with big eyes full of tears, hoping to hear some good news from him.

Although Luo Yaoguo couldn't bear it, he shook his head slowly after all: "Listen to the gunshots, the old sleeves of the workers' pickets are now firing, not the water you gave to the National Army. This means that only the pickets are firing now, and the other party is not. fight back."

"Isn't that good?" Of course Qu Ying didn't know what the problem was, she thought it would be good to beat the enemy so hard that they couldn't fight back.

"This shows that the pickets fired at great distances, which is a common mistake of poorly trained soldiers, and often wastes bullets for nothing. The officers on the national army side are very professional, they will not Soldiers are allowed to shoot when they are outside the effective range. The picket team can’t do it, alas! After all, the picket team is an amateur army. It’s okay to maintain order in the rear and catch a few spies. How can they go to the battlefield? This is not blind command Well!" Luo Yaoguo shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect the Communist Party to be like this at the beginning." He didn't expect that the Communist Party, which was so powerful in another time and space, would be so unprofessional at the beginning. The powerful and ununited opponents are slowly "trained".

Hearing that Luo Yaoguo looked down on the workers' pickets, Qu Ying pouted her lips, a little unconvinced. She said, "Why can't the pickets fight? Lu Yi's advisor to the Third International said that during the October Revolution, the provisional government was defeated by workers' armed forces." regular army!"

"Lu Yi? It's that red-headed third?" Luo Yaoguo almost laughed out loud when he thought of this living treasure: "What does he know about fighting, how do you listen to him? Don't you have Pavlov and Galen?"

"Comrade Lu Yi is an advisor to the Federation of Trade Unions, and the worker pickets are under the leadership of the Federation of Trade Unions." Qu Ying inadvertently revealed the party's secrets.

At this time, the sound of gunfire in the distance suddenly became intensive, and from the sound, it seemed that the rebels had started to fight back.Luo Yaoguo listened carefully for a while with his ears pricked up, and his brows frowned even tighter: "It seems that the two armies are shooting at each other, can they hit in such a dark day? Presumably they want to consume the ammunition of the pickets."

"Consuming ammunition? If the bullets run out, then..." Qu Ying bit her lip tightly, and did not say the word "failure".Although she had expected this ending.

Luo Yaoguo guessed right, Shi Yousan's plan was to consume bullets with the picket team first, although both sides didn't have much ammunition.But the soldiers on the rebel side knew to save bullets, which the pickets had long forgotten.And even if both sides are out of bullets, can the workers in Beijing's Forty-Nine City fight Feng Yuxiang's army with bayonets?In history, the Northwest Army was very capable of hand-to-hand combat, and the National Army was the predecessor of the Northwest Army.

The two sides fought cracklingly for about half an hour, and the gunfire from the picket team gradually faded away.It should be that the bullets are almost consumed.Seeing that the opportunity was just right, Shi Yousan decisively ordered a general attack. Thousands of rebel officers and soldiers yelled and frantically rushed towards the city wall, even though the pickets on the city fired desperately with the only bullets, they would not slow down at all.Then all the hundreds of ladders were erected, and thousands of well-trained rebel officers and soldiers climbed up quickly with their hands and feet.At the same time, under the city wall, there are still many sharpshooters with outstanding marksmanship who are constantly shooting at the crenels of the city wall to cover their companions on the ladder.

"Communists, members of the Communist Youth League, follow me!" This was the last voice of Zhang Tailei in this time and space. Under his leadership, dozens of Communists took the lead and rushed to the front line with their rifles, and the rebels who climbed the city wall The death squads hang together and start fighting.Inspired by them, the workers' pickets, who were about to collapse, mustered up their courage to launch a final round of counterattacks.The battle on the city wall suddenly became fierce. Both sides roared angrily, shouting to try their best to kill their opponents.

Yesterday, these rebel officers and soldiers were still friends with the workers' pickets, but in the blink of an eye, the two sides actually fought the most brutal hand-to-hand combat on the broad city walls of Beijing!Rows of rebel death squads with grim faces and strong bodies held sharp Russian bayonets and screamed strangely, pounced on the pickets supporting the Hanyang building, and stabbed the workers who were brothers yesterday with their long bayonets. from their hearts, and take everything from them without mercy.Because they still want to exchange the lives of these pickets and communists for cheap liquor, women and fat. These are the real warlord troops, a group of war professionals who fight for foreign money.

The battle at Yongdingmen lasted for about two hours. In the end, some of the worker pickets who were defeated and retreated were scattered in the dark night of Beijing, while others followed Qu Ming to the Qianmen Railway Station.This is the last line of defense in Beijing, behind Tiananmen Square and Zhongnanhai, General Feng Yuxiang and the leaders of the coalition government should work there.So now Qu Ming has no choice but to stick to the last person.At this time, his only wish is that his sister can escape from danger and see the day when New China is established.I hope that she can often visit the place where she died, and tell her children about herself, the person who gave her life for the establishment of New China.

Chapter 0138 coup (sixteen)

The sound of guns and guns in the distance gradually faded away, indicating that the battle at Yongdingmen was drawing to a close.Luo Yaoguo let out a sigh of relief: "Xiaoying, we should go."

Qu Ying was silent, did not speak, but shed tears, turned around and walked slowly towards the door.Luo Yaoguo knew how she felt, and couldn't think of any words to persuade her for a while, so he left the room with the suitcase full of house deeds and land deeds.

In the lobby on the second floor of the Yingbin Building, most of the members of the Kuomintang delegation and their entourage had already gathered, about a dozen people.There is no electricity supply now, and there are many candles lit in the hall, and everyone is talking and laughing in the flickering candlelight, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

"Mao Ru, the Yongding Gate should be lost, right? Feng Yuxiang's coalition government is almost here." This is the voice of Zou Lu, with a Cantonese accent, and the tone is very relaxed, with a taste of gloating.

"Hehe, that's right." Wang Boling actually laughed twice: "Who told Feng Yuxiang not to know how much he weighed? He also made the chairman of the coalition government? It's absurd for me to say this, and I don't know Su What is Russia's idea?"

"Isn't Soviet Russia's idea obvious?" Dai Jitao also spoke at this time: "They want Feng Yuxiang to recognize the Kulun government. Hmph, this imperialism is much worse than the British and American powers. Their ambitions are huge! Not only Mongolia, There is also what they want in Xinjiang, and maybe the three special zones in Inner Mongolia. Otherwise, why would they not allow us, the Kuomintang, to use force in the ethnic minority areas in the Northwest?"

"This time, Lao Maozi finally didn't get his wish. Feng Huanzhang's central government only went to the field in a few hours, and Xu Shuzheng's two shots were not in vain. I don't know who shot it." Zou Lu was a little confused when he said this. : "Could it be someone from Feng Yuxiang who did it? He seems to have a grudge against Xu Shuzheng."

"But killing Xu Shuzheng now is probably not for personal revenge, right?" Liao Zhongkai appeared in the crowd at some point, and he smiled and said, "Feng Huanzhang is patriotic after all. Naturally, Soviet Russia has no way to force him. Well, you can set off when everyone is here."

"Mr. Liao, what do you mean?" Hearing Liao Zhongkai's words, Luo Yaoguo was stunned: "Aren't you going to avoid it?"

"Where to avoid?" Liao Zhongkai's voice was very peaceful, he smiled and said: "If you go to the US embassy, ​​you will be labeled as a rightist. If you go to the Soviet embassy, ​​it may not be safe there. This time the powers are targeting the Soviet Union. Russian. Rather than being caught in the Soviet embassy, ​​it is better to wait in this welcome building, and I want to see what Zhang Zuolin dares to do to me?"

This is a political attitude. If you hide in the US embassy, ​​how can you be a leftist?And after entering the Soviet Russian embassy, ​​if any conspiracy in Soviet Russia is exposed, how should I get rid of myself?So after much deliberation, Liao Zhongkai decided to stay in the Yingbin Building and not go anywhere.With the backing of half of the Kuomintang, Zhang Zuolin would not do anything wrong.

Everyone knew that Liao Zhongkai was not with them, so they stopped persuading them and went downstairs with their luggage.When he got downstairs, Luo Yaoguo realized that the workers' pickets who had come to defend him had long since disappeared into the vast night.Fortunately, it is not too far from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Dongjiaomin Lane.So everyone walked to Dongjiaomin Lane under the escort of Luo Yaoguo, Wanyanhao, and Fanhai. Jin Puxin, who was born and raised in Beijing, was in charge of leading the way.

While the Kuomintang delegation was fleeing in the dark, Feng Yuxiang, the nominal leader of the country, was also preparing to travel in a barracks in Xicheng District, Beijing.

"Chairman, it's almost time to leave. Yongdingmen has fallen." No one would have thought that Feng Yuxiang was actually in the barracks of Lu Zhonglin who had "betrayed".Moreover, he had a secret talk with the "traitor" Lu Zhonglin.

"Understood." Feng Yuxiang glanced in the direction of Zhongnanhai and shook his head: "Hehe, what a dream! I didn't expect it to be only a few hours. I'm probably the head of state with the shortest reign in the world this time." ?”

"Chairman, you..." Lu Zhonglin didn't know how to persuade him.

"Zuibo, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I thought about today's situation when the revolution was launched to overthrow Cao Kun, but now I still have a chance. Although it's only for a few hours, I'm still the legal leader of the country after all. With brothers like you, I will make a comeback one day." After speaking, Feng Yuxiang patted Lu Zhonglin on the shoulder, then turned and left, and under the protection of several guards boarded the car that had been prepared and drove away, disappearing In the dark night.This patriotic general in history also started another revolutionary journey of patriotism and national salvation because of Luo Yaoguo's butterfly effect, and will play a more important role in Chinese history.

Xishan Biyun Temple, an ancient temple built in the Yuan Dynasty, is now the temporary residence of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.Although it was late at night, it was still brightly lit at first, and the motor of a small generator roared to provide sufficient lighting for the emergency meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.Zhou Enlai was standing in front of a huge military map at this time, explaining the situation of the enemy and ourselves to the leaders of the central government.

"Now the enemy and us are divided into two battlefields, the north and the south. On the northern front, our Red Fourth Front Army is heroically resisting the Feng army attacking from the direction of the Rehe paddock in Duolun, an important town in the west of Chahar. The enemy relied on heavy artillery and aircraft to bombard us indiscriminately. However, our bravery and tenacity have repulsed many enemy attacks, and now Duolun is still firmly in our hands. However, the situation on the southern front is worrisome." Zhou Enlai's expression was serious when he said this, and he used the gun in his hand The baton is pointing in the direction of Beijing: "The national armed forces defending Beijing's eastern front rebelled this afternoon. According to our insider report, Xu Yongchang, the commander of the first mixed brigade of the national armed forces, launched a mutiny to overthrow General Sun Yue, and then led his troops to seek refuge. The Feng Faction warlords have been eliminated, and now Beijing’s eastern front is open! What’s more serious is that the Nationalist First Army stationed inside and outside Beijing has also rebelled. Now General Feng Yuxiang has lost control of the troops, and the rebels are storming Yongdingmen. The team is fighting fiercely, and it is estimated that Yongdingmen will fall soon."

After listening to Zhou Enlai's report, Chen Duxiu was silent for a while and asked: "Do the Military Ministry and the Soviet advisers have any suggestions? Also, can the Kuomintang be asked to immediately launch an offensive in the south to contain the forces of the Beiyang warlords?"

After hearing Chen Duxiu's question, all the leaders present at the meeting felt chills. Now that things have come to this point, Chen Duxiu still has illusions about the right wing of the Kuomintang.Although this counter-revolutionary coup was not initiated by the rightists of the Kuomintang, their connivance and inaction are also the reason why the enemy dared to unite.

Zhou Enlai drew a circle around Shanxi with his baton and said: "The proposal of the Ministry of Military Affairs is that the central government immediately move to the mountainous area at the junction of the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei. After covering the transfer of the Central Committee and General Feng Yuxiang, we will move to Suiyuan, and strive to open up Soviet areas in Suiyuan or in the northwest of Shanxi Province. In this way, we can have three Soviet areas around Shanxi Province, and then look for opportunities to redify the entire Shanxi Province and integrate the three The Great Soviet Area is connected into one piece.”

"Then what about Beijing?" Chen Duxiu hesitated for a while and then said: "Is it possible to stick to Beijing and wait for the Kuomintang army to go north? If we contain the main force of the Feng army in Beijing, the troops of Zhi and Anhui will not be able to withstand it." The Kuomintang army. Wouldn’t our two parties finally join forces in Beijing and complete the national revolution together?”

Zhou Enlai also shook his head in disappointment.He respected Chen Duxiu and Zhou Enlai very much. It was because of Chen Duxiu's kindness that he was able to sit on the position of director of the Central Bureau of the Military Department of the Communist Party of China at the age of 26 and became one of the core leadership of the Communist Party of China.However, the naivety of this great intellectual made Zhou Enlai dumbfounded, not to mention whether the Kuomintang army could quench Beijing's near thirst.Even if they call, what good will happen?At that time, people will own the whole world, and the Communist Party will only have an isolated city. What will be the fate of the Communist Party?

Just when Zhou Enlai didn't know how to persuade Chen Duxiu, another leader of the CCP, Qu Qiubai, got up and spoke in support of Zhou Enlai: "I think Enlai's method should be adopted now, and the Soviet areas such as Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Northwest Shanxi, and Suiyuan should be opened up. Shanxi is surrounded on three sides. Try to solve the weaker Yan Xishan first. Only in this way can the goals and ideals of our party be realized. If we are trapped in Beijing, the final result will only be another Paris Commune! This is not ours goals, and is of no benefit to the Chinese revolution, so I suggest that the Central Bureau vote on this issue."

"I also support Comrade Enlai's suggestion. We can't be trapped in an isolated city." Another leader of the Central Bureau, Cai Hesen, who came from northern Shaanxi, also echoed Qu Qiubai.He and Mao Zedong have long advocated the development of Shanxi, and now the facts prove that their views are completely correct.

This year's Central Bureau of the Communist Party consisted of seven members: Chen Duxiu, Zhou Enlai, Cai Hesen, Qu Qiubai, Zhang Guotao, Li Dazhao, and Peng Shuzhi, two more than in history.Now Li Dazhao did not participate in the meeting in Beijing, while Zhang Guotao supervised the war on the four fronts.Therefore, three of the five Central Bureau members present at the meeting supported abandoning Beijing and opening up the Soviet area. Faced with this situation, Chen Duxiu no longer insisted.
