Chapter 130: Agents of Imperialism Part 1

spn (second update)
Liao Zhengcai had no idea how big a shock the peasant uprising in Fengkai County, which he planned, had caused.
When the peasant army, armed only with swords, clubs and cannons, arrived at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi and prepared to enter Guangxi, they were blocked by Liu Debin's regiment.
Liu Debin's regiment occupied the advantageous terrain and set up heavy machine guns and mortars, preparing to intercept the mob. However, as a regiment leader, he also knew that the situation was serious and urgently consulted Chen Jitang in Guangzhou. In his mind, it was not
There is a decision whether to shoot or not. What he is waiting for is the order. Once the order is given, he will definitely execute it.
"Captain Liu, you were also born into a poor peasant family. Your family rented land from a landlord and could not even afford food. Your sister even died in infancy and died of starvation."
These people are all living poor and lower-middle peasants. They have been the most submissive grassroots people for thousands of years. If they had not really been unable to survive, they would not have taken this road of no return.
I also ask Captain Liu to show his noble hand and let us pass, so as not to become the sinners of the people. He is a talented person, but he also knows to leave a way out. He has already informed the southwest authorities of the uprising. The southwest "government" is based on the people. Once Liu Tuan
If he commits a murder on the border of Guangxi, he is afraid that he will arouse the wrath of the Southwest Commander."
Liao Zhengcai signaled the team to retreat for a moment. He was not a hot-blooded young man, but a newly educated young man who had received a complete education in the southwest. Naturally, he knew that the confrontation between flesh and blood would be unbearable cruelty.
Liu Debin stood on the top of the mountain without raising his head. He took this iron tube and shouted there: "I have reported this incident to Commander Chen immediately. How to deal with it, let him wait for him to make a decision. Everyone, I, Liu Debin, am just a warrior.
I don’t want to embarrass everyone, let alone disobey orders. Before the commander replies, I think everyone should stay calm, otherwise the bite will leave a scar on everyone.”
The uprising team was a bit "turbulent" and "chaotic". Some advocated rushing over, some advocated retreating first, and some started to make noises in a low voice. Everyone was talking about it. The peasants, who had not received any formal training at all, were vigorous and weak.
, at this time, we are at a loss.
Liao Zhengcai swallowed. He was indeed no genius. The uprising he organized was already in chaos before it even broke out of Guangdong. Once the opponent opened fire, the team would probably break up.
"Don't panic, everyone, let's wait for now. The Southwest 'government' is a 'government' that makes decisions for the people, and their army is the best in the country. Maybe the Southwest People's Army is already on the way to rescue."
At that time, Liao Zhengcai wrote the same letter to several people just in case, just in case something unexpected happened, which would lead to a huge disaster. In the letter, he had briefly discussed various difficulties that the rebels might encounter.
Hypothetically, we hope that the Southwest Army can come to the rescue.
Five minutes later, there was no reply to Chen Jitang's telegram, and the commotion here became more intense. They were afraid that Liu Debin's troops would suddenly open fire, but under Liao Zhengcai's loud shouting, no coward appeared in the team to retreat and run away.
Five kilometers away, a fighter plane flying from more than a thousand meters in the air was flying at a speed slower than cruising speed, and its heading was exactly in the direction of Fengkai County.
The fighter planes seemed to be looking for something. Occasionally they encountered a large mountain range and would swoop down to check it out before pulling up and leaving.
"02, haven't you found it yet?"
This fighter aircraft belongs to the 6th Air Force Regiment stationed in Guangxi. It is a two-seater reconnaissance aircraft modified from a J-1 fighter aircraft. It has independent cockpits at the front and rear. It has one fighter pilot and one observer and communicator.
Hearing the driver's voice coming from the earphones, Observer No. 02 responded, "01, fly a few kilometers to the southeast. From the map, the terrain there is more complicated and the march is more difficult. The uprising team may still be there.
That mountainous area has not been conquered."
The fighter plane flew toward the southeast amid a more violent roar. Looking at the changing field of view below the fighter plane, even a professionally trained observer could not completely identify the ground target. Fortunately, the fighter plane was relatively slow, and this time
The investigation target is relatively large, so it is not like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Discover the situation"
The reconnaissance plane just flew over the mountains, and then quickly lowered its altitude and dived towards one of the mountains. "Report, Falcon 1 found the target. The target was found at 11123 East Longitude and 2332 North Latitude. The peasant rebel army was about a few thousand people."
People, and at least two battalions of Guangdong troops intercepted us. There has been no conflict between the two sides yet. I repeat, there has been no conflict between the two sides yet, as if they were waiting for something."
After receiving the report from the reconnaissance aircraft, the commander of the 6th Air Force Regiment issued an order. According to the battle plan just issued, the Air Force will be the most important weight to deter the Guangdong Army this time. These "unarmed troops must be protected"
"Farmers, this is a death order given by Zhang Shusheng himself.
The airport where the 6th Air Force Regiment is stationed happens to be Wuzhou Airport, which was originally built to meet the needs of future operations in Guangdong.[
The airport runway was already full of fighter planes filled with fuel and with mailboxes and medicine hung up. The pilots who had been waiting for a long time on the fighter planes closed their canopies, waiting to take off.
When the first fighter plane completed a short taxi and pulled up its nose to take off, the planes began to take off one after another and flew towards the target airspace at maximum speed.
"Comrades, that is the plane from the Southwest. It was the plane from the Southwest just now. They have discovered us, and reinforcements will definitely arrive soon."
When the Guangdong Army and the Peasant Rebel Army saw a plane flying from a distance and even made a very low-altitude dive, the momentum of the two sides completely reversed.
As we all know, the southwest has the most powerful air force in China. As Guangdong, which is adjacent to the southwest, is well aware of the power of the southwest air force. When the first plane left, Liu Debin was not happy, but frowned tightly. He could imagine
There may be more planes arriving in a while. The Wuzhou Airport of the Southwest Army is really too close to here.
As if to verify Liao Zhengcai's words, when the first fighter plane flying much faster than before arrived in the sky ten minutes later, the farmers let out a tsunami-like cheer.
The first fighter plane to arrive was Southwest's newest hunting-suit J-2 fighter plane. Compared with the reconnaissance plane, it was much more powerful in appearance. I saw the fighter plane painted in strange colors, soaring high into the sky.
Then he swooped down towards a mountain top.
"Boom boom boom..."
The fighter plane opened fire, and several rapid tongues of flames were seen flying out from the belly of the fighter plane. The dense cannons hit the hilltop below in an instant. Amidst a roar, the hilltop was plunged into a sea of flames.
"Hiss..." Liu Debin took a breath of air. Although he also knew how powerful the fighter jets were, after seeing the power of the Southwest fighter jets with his own eyes, he had already made up his mind. Even if Commander Chen's order arrived, he would not be able to carry it out.
Already.
If the fighter plane had not fired at the empty hilltop but at its own troops, even if the terrain on the hilltop was complicated, at least dozens of brothers would have been lost in this round of shelling.
In the distance, in the sky visible to the naked eye, more and more fighter planes began to arrive. Although they no longer conducted actual shooting like fire drills, the fighter planes began to fire in a way that neither the Guangdong Army nor the farmers were doing.
I have seen strange movements and formation changes.
Finally, the fighters from the southwest formed a formation of three and began to dive towards the hilltop where Liu Debin's regiment was located.
At that moment, Liu Debin thought that the opponent was about to surrender. However, the fighter planes just flew over in formation, as if they were demonstrating to the Guangdong Army and paying tribute to the farmers who dared to resist.
On the evening of April 1, 1930, the Southwest Army broke into Guangdong with nearly 60,000 troops and launched an offensive on three fronts. There was no resistance along the way, but it was almost crazy welcomed by the local people.
The better traffic conditions in Guangdong, the overwhelming speed of the advance, and the sudden military action not only forced Chen Jitang to retreat to Guangzhou, but even President Chiang, who had moved to Nanjing, did not have time to mobilize troops to encircle the Southwest Army in Guangzhou.
Direct line troops or local troops in Lianghu, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places are ready to defend themselves and contain the Southwest Army that may break into these provinces at any time.
President Chiang had the world in mind and great ambitions, but he decisively chose to cut off his arm, which was almost equivalent to giving up on Guangdong. However, he also urgently ordered Chen Jitang to quickly block the Southwest Army and wait for reinforcements. However, the telegram fell into the sea, and the originally obedient
Chen Jitang, however, made no movement at this time. He just cowered in Guangzhou and remained motionless until the Southwest Army finally came to the city and pointed its arrow at Guangzhou.
The Southwest Army entered Guangdong, mainly composed of elite troops and air force, and was determined to take over the entire territory of Guangdong. It was like a thunder that exploded across the country.
It has to be said that many enlightened people have actually been looking forward to the next military action in the Southwest for a long time. Not to mention Guangdong, some democrats in the two lakes are also secretly operating. The confrontation between the northern and southern warlords has not yet concluded, but the strength of the Southwest Army
The rise has become the consensus of the people. Every detail of the Southwest has been published in the newspapers. The rule of the Southwest has already gained public support among the people.
Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
"Report"
The voice of the confidential secretary awakened Chiang Kai-shek from his meditation. The news of the Southwest Army's entry into Guangdong kept him awake all night. He did not touch the bird's nest porridge made by Soong Meiling herself at the table. If Zhang Shusheng occupied half of the southwest, he could still
If he were to sit upright, the Southwest Army's entry into Guangdong would definitely touch his bottom line.[
Chiang Kai-shek's political tactics have always been to bully the weak and win over the strong in order to continuously strengthen himself. It was not that he was unprepared and moved in many directions before, but he was just waiting for the opportunity.
At this time, the time seems to have arrived. Maybe it was not just him who couldn't sleep last night, but someone else.
"Report, the ministers of the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union want to see you"
When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he was overjoyed. He, who was extremely politically sensitive, had already guessed the intention of the envoys from the three countries. He stood up in a hurry and accidentally knocked the bird's nest porridge to the ground. "Quickly, please come in quickly. I will personally
