Invincible urban management

169. Lingnan Raiders

Guangzhou in midsummer is shrouded in a sea of ​​red flags and red banners.

As the cradle of revolution in modern Chinese history and the birthplace of the May [-]th Movement, the Northern Expedition, and the Great Revolution, Guangzhou has always been known for changing people's minds. Whether it is young students or ordinary citizens, their patriotic enthusiasm and anti-imperialism are more intense than northern cities. much.

Moreover, as early as the period of the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation during the Great Revolution, our party had been operating in various parts of Guangdong for many years. After that, Guangzhou Commune and Hailufeng base areas appeared one after another. The potential power can be said to be deeply rooted.Even after experiencing the ravages of white terror in the past few years, the underground party is still very powerful.Especially when the Kuomintang reactionaries fell down and scattered, and the red flag with sickle and hammer swept across southern China, there were more forces changing their families.

Therefore, when the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army annihilated the main force of the Cantonese army led by Chen Jitang, and repelled the Gui army of Bai Chongxi's troops who came to aid from Wuzhou, Yu Hanmou, who was trapped in Guangzhou, found himself hit in the back: the Guangzhou underground party spent [-] million pounds With the support of the operation and two ships of arms, he successfully bought one-third of the defending troops, cut off the telephone lines for Yu Hanmou to command various troops, and at the same time brazenly launched a workers' uprising in the city...

Thus, amidst the wailing of the rich and wealthy in the city and the cheers of the poor workers and peasants, the Red Army of Workers and Peasants liberated Guangzhou on July 7... Then, of course, there will be a vigorous "strike the local tyrants and divide the fields", and the thunderous The "Suppression of Counter-Revolutionaries" movement.

"...today's Guangzhou... the revolutionary atmosphere is very strong! The streets are full of revolutionary slogans painted with red paint, and there are red flags hanging in front of the shops."

Sit in a tracked armored vehicle as strong as a castle.While admiring the street view outside from the small car, Wang Qiu muttered casually, "...It's a pity that the weather is stuffy and hot. It's really uncomfortable... The city feels shabby, and the smell doesn't seem to be very good It smells good..."

——In the modern world, Wang Qiu has also been to Guangzhou several times. The most impressive one was when he visited Guangzhou on the eve of the Lunar New Year. From the inside to the outside of the station, there is a large crowd of people - marginal, millions of migrant workers who are going to take the train back to their hometown for the New Year...

certainly.The Guangzhou of the Republic of China cannot be compared with the Guangzhou of the future.The whole market looks like the street scene in "October Besieged City" - crowded streets, porters in straw sandals, topless rickshaw drivers, students in tunic suits - although the air is less allergenic and coughing Black smoke, but dirty water, feces, rotting garbage.Coupled with the lack of the humidity and heat of the air-conditioning cold wind, it still makes people feel difficult to breathe. [

"...Ah, as far as the whole of China is concerned, Guangzhou is already considered the first-class bustling market where the people are prosperous and the people are prosperous!"

A Red Army political commissar accompanying him.Said in Zhejiang dialect with a rather strange pronunciation. "...Henan is miserable! I went to Henan to mobilize the masses before. At that time, the Central Plains War had just ended. Millions of Henan people were displaced because of the war. The fields were barren and miserable... in In the countryside of Henan, I saw with my own eyes that the local people lived in mud caves. They didn't even have a house. They were all unkempt and had no clothes. People didn't look like ghosts or ghosts. I found a teacher from the countryside Inquiring about the local situation, the answer I got was: the place is small, the fields are barren, the population is too large, heavy taxes have been levied since the Republic of China, bandits and horse thieves are everywhere, all villages have been burned down, business can’t be done, and ordinary people can’t even eat miscellaneous grains. There are people who cannibalize people. The warlords and bandits rob the common people of their savings. They are so poor that they die.”

Having said that, the Comrade Political Commissar couldn't help but sigh, "... Alas, even in the past, the foolish rulers in the feudal society still cared about the lives of the common people. Now Dapao Sun and his gang have overthrown the monarchy and established a republic for so many years. It has become like this, and the common people have been "forced" into primitive people who burrow into the ground! It is really a story, no matter from which point of view, only the bourgeois revolution can save China!"

Just as the political commissar was lamenting the suffering of the Chinese people, he suddenly felt a sudden shock in the carriage, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion from the front—a small building in front was blown down, rubble The pillars fell one after another, cutting off the convoy in the middle.Then there was a large group of thugs in different costumes, holding submachine guns, box guns, throwing barrels and katana swords, rushing over from everywhere in a chaotic manner.

However, the Red Army soldiers accompanying the escort are also well-trained veterans who have been on the battlefield.Although a little dizzy from the explosion just now, they responded quickly and fired back, killing and injuring more than 20 people immediately.Immediately afterwards, the heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles also opened fire, quickly shooting many of the attackers into a puddle of flesh... Other Red Army soldiers began to climb over the wall to outflank the enemy's rear, and the gunshots quickly died down.

"...Don't worry, they won't be able to fight! This is nothing more than Japanese expatriates in Guangdong and Kuomintang agents colluding with traitors and scum, using bombs and guns provided by the British Hong Kong Army to sneak into urban areas to carry out attacks and sabotage. Two days ago, mortars were fired into the barracks! Our Red Army has seen many such counter-revolutionary sabotage actions, and Teko has rich experience in purges, so there shouldn't be any big troubles."

At the same time, the accompanying political commissar in the car comforted Wang Qiu calmly, "...aroused panic among the people? It's all right. Everyone has gotten used to it. Look at the tea house over there. Isn't it crowded with a bunch of idlers watching the excitement? Suppressing counter-revolutionaries always requires bloodshed! It is estimated that thousands to 1 people will die, and the market will probably calm down... After that, the Party Central Committee is going to Moved over..."

——Well, how should I put it? People in "troubled" times seem to be able to withstand death far beyond the limit of imagination of those in peaceful times.

From the looks of it, it is estimated that even if there is a "911 incident" in Guangzhou every day, and a plane falls down and hits a building every day, the citizens of Guangzhou can still feel at ease!

All in all, after witnessing several terrorist attacks with my own eyes.Ms. Jin Qina and all the travelers finally arrived at the headquarters of the Second Red Army Corps on Yuexiu Mountain, and met General He Long, the commander and head of the Guangzhou Military Control Commission.After the two sides exchanged brief greetings.He Long then introduced to Wang Qiu and the others the current situation of the Red Army of Workers and Peasants in Guangdong Province.

——After the Red Army killed the "Southern King" Chen Jitang, repelled the reinforcements from the Guangxi army, and invaded the provincial capital Guangzhou, there was no large-scale resistance in the entire Pearl River Delta except for the British garrison in Hong Kong.As a warlord group, the Guangdong Army basically collapsed.Even if there are still some remnants fleeing in the countryside, they no longer pose a military threat to the Red Army, at best they are a hidden danger to public security.

but.In places other than the Pearl River Delta, the Red Army's current control is still very weak. In Haikou on Hainan Island, Shantou in eastern Guangdong, Xiamen, Fuzhou and other seaport cities in Fujian, there are still some remnants of the Cantonese Army and the Kuomintang Central Army.Relying on the munitions "powder" supported by imperialist powers by sea, they persisted in their tenacious resistance.And in the villages where the land reform has not yet been completed, there are private armed forces of local tyrants, evil gentry and die-hard reactionaries everywhere.

Of course, this is a special phenomenon in the early days of liberation.As long as the Red Army has a firm foothold in Guangdong.Then the next step is to gradually mobilize the masses, carry out land reform, eliminate bandits and landlords' private armed forces, etc., all have mature experience-the redification of Guangdong province is now unstoppable.

However, even though they only control a few major cities and transportation lines at the moment, the Second Red Army and the Third Red Army have already gained a lot in Guangdong.Just the trophies handed over to the traversers to be sent to the modern world for money, there are 80 taels of gold, 200 million taels of silver, and 3000 million silver dollars.There are more than 200 boxes of pearls, diamonds, gemstones, and beautiful jade, and tens of thousands of various antiques.As for Ming and Qing furniture made of high-grade wood such as mahogany, huanghuali, and golden nan.There are even two large warehouses full of them.In addition, there are a large number of precious teak and nanmu imported from overseas. [

In order to carry these trophies back to the modern world, Wang Qiu has been busy back and forth for a whole day.Then it took another week to replenish various supplies to the Red Army in this time and space - guns and artillery that urgently need to be replaced and updated, increasingly scarce "medicine" and medical first-aid supplies, summer military uniforms, tents, refreshing Rendan, etc. "Drugs", refined salt to provide guarantees for the "plastic notes" of the Red Army, and machinery and equipment for the construction of military industrial bases, etc.

This is not only to enhance the self-hematopoietic ability of the Lingnan Red Army, but also out of consideration for balancing the internal industrial layout of the Red "Red" base area.

——The series of "generous support" by the traversers to the Red Tenth Army in Shanghai made the original Red Tenth Army and now the Red Fifth Front Army, from a discarded piece and bait used to attract firepower, to suddenly become Having owned the armed forces of the sea, land and air, and a powerful military group with about 30 to [-] modern troops, although the strength of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants has exploded, it has also seriously disrupted the balance of power within the Red Army .

You must know that Shanghai was originally the largest industrial and commercial center in China, as well as the gathering place for talents and wealth in China.In the previous warlord melee, the warlords who controlled the city of Shanghai were much stronger than the warlords who occupied a province in the interior.

The current Red Fifth Front Army not only has advanced weapons and weapons beyond the era, but also controls Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the most elite places in China, has the largest reserve of scientific and technological talents in the country, and a large number of industrial facilities transferred from the modern world. Compared with the Red Army in other regions of China, its strength has long been completely out of balance.If it can represent the Party Central Committee, then it’s fine... But the problem is that the current Party Central Committee is still nesting in the valleys of Guizhou—no matter how you look at it, there are hidden dangers that the tail is too big to lose, and the local government surpasses the Central Committee. .

As for the industrial sector that was settled in Ruijin during the Southern Expedition, it was only the size of a small county-level factory and could not shake Shanghai's dominant position at all.

Although Fang Zhimin, Su Yu, Xun Huaizhou and others who currently control the Red Fifth Front Army are not the kind of careerists who will do anything for power and can take the party's principles and disciplines as nothing - and the traversers are not either. It is possible to support them to establish another central government—but even if the Party Central Committee can firmly control Shanghai in the future and eliminate the hidden danger of internal divisions, the excessive imbalance in the development of various regions in the country will be very detrimental to national construction.

Therefore, the traversers take special care of the older generation of revolutionaries.I plan to open another "sub-base" for them in Guangzhou, so as not to lead to Shanghai's thriving, but also to make full use of Western-style education talents in Guangzhou...

While the traversers were busy transporting the loot from Guangzhou.The history of this world is still developing and evolving.

First of all, His Majesty Hirohito, Emperor Showa of Japan, finally died in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto on July 21 due to worsening radiation sickness.Because Prince Akihito had died before, after a fight, Hirohito's oldest brother, Prince Chichibu Gong Yongren.Defeating the other two younger brothers, Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito and Prince Mikasa Chongren, successfully seized the throne of the emperor, and was scheduled to officially proclaim the throne on August [-].

but.Although the emperor changed and the capital also changed places, the tough and fanatical attitude of the Japanese Empire towards the war of aggression against China remained unchanged—the wartime headquarters further issued a more detailed national mobilization order.It is planned to recruit 100 million strong men in China, Taiwan and North Korea.Put into the "China mainland battlefield", and at the same time expand the army by 30 to resist the possible invasion of the Soviet Union in the north.

Obviously, the Japanese archipelago, which is already dilapidated, cannot bear such a huge military expenditure at all.Therefore, the two big donors of Wall Street in the United States and the City of Finance in the United Kingdom expressed their willingness to provide war loan guarantees to the Japanese Empire, so that the Japanese can shed blood and sacrifice with confidence.

Secondly.The Red Army Xu Xiang broke out of the Dabie Mountains to the front and captured Hefei on July 7.Immediately, he successfully joined forces with the Su Yu Department of the Red Army in Huainan.

So far, with the exception of Liu Zhidan in Yan'an, Zhang Guotao in Sichuan, and the Anti-Japanese Allied Army in Northeast China, the rest of the Red Army bases in the country have been connected together, controlling seven provincial capitals in one go. The time is not far away.

Then, on the Army Day on August [-]st, the Mobile Central Bureau finally moved out of Guiyang, which was deep in the mountains, and moved to the bustling metropolis of Guangzhou.Many leaders of the party and the Red Army once again strolled through the familiar streets of Guangzhou this summer, as well as the former site of the Whampoa Military Academy on Huangpu Island (which has been moved). Recalling the glorious years when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated and joined hands in the Northern Expedition ten years ago, they couldn’t help but All of them burst into tears and sighed endlessly.

As for Mao Anying and Mao Anqing, they finally saw their father and stepmother—all kinds of chaotic situations during the period, so they had no choice but to hide for His Holiness.

According to the scheduled plan, the Party Central Committee is going to stay in Guangzhou until autumn to complete all preparatory work for the establishment of a national "central government", and at the same time supervise and coordinate the wars in Guangdong, Guangxi and southern Fujian.After the battle on the southern front is completely over and the Lingnan area is completely pacified, then move north to Shanghai or Nanjing, where the founding ceremony will be officially held... As for where the capital should be after the national reunification, we will have to wait until later to decide.

Then, on August 8, the Second Red Army dispatched only one regiment and easily captured Macau within a day. The Portuguese colonial authorities only made a symbolic resistance in the Governor's Palace for a few minutes—that poor The Governor of Macau now has less than 2 soldiers, and in order to save costs, most of them are blacks hired from Africa, and their morale and fighting spirit are extremely low.

So, looking at the menacing Red Army soldiers, these black soldiers only fired a few shots indiscriminately before decisively raising the white flag and surrendering.

As a result, many large and small casinos in Macau immediately fell into bad luck and were all seized.

——Since the first Opium War, because Macao was limited by geographical conditions and the harbor was shallow and narrow, the British-occupied Hong Kong relied on the advantages of a deep-water port and soon replaced Macao as a transit trade port, causing Macao's business to completely decline .

Since then, Macau has had to regard the gaming industry as the main pillar of the economy, and it is widely known to the world under the name of "Oriental Monte Carlo".By the 30s, a small Macau was full of casinos, accumulating a large amount of gold, silver and rare treasures—so, the traversers successfully made a fortune in Macau again, seizing gold, silver, jewelry, valuables, etc. There are countless antique jewelry... In order to create an image of being close to the people, the Red Army did not directly plunder all kinds of luxury goods in Macau, but adopted a gentle method of compulsory acquisition, throwing out large sums of dollar and pound banknotes boldly...

However, He Long’s Second Red Army Corps’ southward strategy has come to an end for the time being—Hong Kong is the target of Peng Dehuai’s Third Red Army Corps, and the farther away French Guangzhou Bay Concession is located on the Leizhou Peninsula, about [-] kilometers away from Guangzhou. .According to the judgment of the Red Army's General Staff, before the Guangxi Guangxi army was completely defeated and the flank threat was relieved, it would be too risky to go on an expedition to the Leizhou Peninsula alone, and it was impossible to act so hastily.

In addition, there is not no bad news. For example, Zhang Guotao’s Sichuan-Shanxi Red Army is not doing well recently. Because the Sichuan-Shanxi Red Army is alone behind the enemy, it has never been able to establish contact with future comrades who traversed, and it is impossible to obtain advanced Ammunition supplies, equipment and combat power are still the same.

As a result, although Zhang Guotao has more than 30 counties in the Sichuan-Shanxi base area, his own military command level is not good, and many elite old troops were taken by Xu Xiangqian to the east... As a result, this summer, when all walks of life across the country When the Red Army was advancing triumphantly, the Sichuan-Shanxi Red Army was severely beaten by Liu Xiang and Tian Songyao, and lost two-thirds of their bases. Fortunately, the situation of the Red Army sweeping the world has now been achieved, and the Sichuan warlords dare not move against the current , I just want to show some strength so that I can have some bargaining chips in the negotiations, so the Sichuan-Shaanxi Red Army is not in danger of being destroyed for the time being.

Finally, on August 8, the last Japanese naval fleet from Truk Atoll in the Pacific Ocean launched a desperate counterattack on Shanghai! (To be continued..)
