As soon as Lao Liao heard the meaning of Lao Chang, he wanted to pull the men and horses of the Jiangfang Fleet to come over and revolt together, but he knew the captains of the Jiangfang Fleet, and he was also his fellow villagers in Guangdong, and he usually had contacts with each other, since he was assigned to the Jiangyin Fort here as the captain, he and the captains of the Jiangfang Fleet became more closely connected, and when they usually complained and chatted, the captains of the Jiangfang Fleet from time to time revealed the idea of defecting, and the Captain Liao listened at the time, I thought they were joking, and I didn't put it in the messenger and laughed at it, but now when I hear them talk about it, I feel that this means of plotting against the united front is really powerful, and it is actually going to plot against the river defense fleet.
Lao Liao nodded and said: "Yes, Deputy Commander Li of the Jiangfang Fleet is my old classmate, he once told me what he meant, so let's do it, I'll contact him immediately, and you will discuss it when you come tomorrow."
After they went back, they wanted to call the deputy commander Li of the river defense fleet moored at the mouth of the Yangtze River to discuss the matter of this uprising, but then after thinking about it, they felt that it was really unsafe to make a phone call, and the spies of the Secret Bureau were everywhere, so they might not have done anything on their phones, once the secret was leaked, then their net worth and life would be all over, although the family members had been arranged by Brother Ye to go to Hong Kong in advance, but the families of the subordinate brothers on their side were still in the mainland, and they could not be taken lightly, capsized in the gutter.
Director Liao hurriedly sent out two of his trusted cronies, and brought his own handwritten letter to the Jiangfang Fleet to find Deputy Commander Li, and the two handed over the letter to Deputy Commander Li, explaining the intention, Deputy Commander Li hurriedly opened it and looked at it, nodded, burned the letter casually, and said to Director Liao's cronies: "Okay, go back and tell you the director, I will personally visit you in the evening." ” In the evening, Deputy Commander Li came to the Jiangyin Fort with two cronies, found Lao Liao, and asked him directly: "Brother Liao, you have thought about it carefully and decided to take this road."
Lao Liao nodded firmly: "Yes, Lao Li, I don't think you have to hesitate, there is the most shortage of professionals like you over there, and you will definitely be able to be reused in the past.
I can see through Lao Jiang's virtue, that's all, go out and do it" Deputy Commander Li nodded: "Brother Liao, you are right, we also have this meaning, now I have five warships on hand, some gunboats and torpedo boats or something, and my brothers also have this meaning, so let's do it, when the people over there come over tomorrow, we will carefully finalize this matter with him, and now the dog's nose of those spies is sniffing around, we still have to be cautious and careful." ” Commander Liao nodded hurriedly and discussed with Deputy Commander Li for most of the night, but when he saw that it was getting late, he simply asked Deputy Commander Li and them to stay in the fort, anyway, the warships of the river defense fleet were parked on the river near the fort, and in the event of an accident, it would be too late to rush over from the fort.
The officers and men of the Kuomintang 104th Army, who were waiting for Jiangbei to launch the operation of crossing the river, survived another sleepless night, and the commander of the infantry regiment of the 104th Army, Pan, who was stationed near the fort, asked his staff officers as usual: "How is the situation in the fort?"
"Report to the regiment, everything is normal in the battery, but last night Deputy Commander Li of the Jiangfang Fleet came to see Commander Liao, and the two of them seemed to talk late, and later Deputy Commander Li stayed on the battery."
The staff officer reported that in addition to the spies of the Secret Bureau monitoring the movements of the fort, the commander of the 104th Army, Pan, also sent agents from the intelligence department to monitor every move on the Jiangyin fort, so he could keep track of the situation of Commander Liao and them at any time.
At this time, no one can believe it, the fort here should pay special attention, once the loophole is exploited, then the river defense here in Jiangyin will be completely useless, under the threat of so many large-caliber cannons on the fort, the infantry of the 104th Army is just a group of live targets, so this Pan regiment commander is keeping an eye on every move on the Jiangyin fort to prevent any mistakes.
"Oh, what is Commander Li of the Jiangfang Fleet doing in the fort, go and find out what's going on" Commander Pan became alert, and hurriedly asked his staff officers to check what was going on through the inner line planted in the fort, and now there can be no fork in the matter, otherwise his head will fall off and he won't know what's going on Just when Regiment Commander Pan asked his staff officers about the situation here in the fort, Commander Liao, who had received news from Zhou Wu, had already arrested several spies of the 104th Army lurking in the Jiangyin Fort according to the internal information provided by the Communist Party, and was carefully interrogating them.
When Lao Liao heard this, he was so angry that he scolded the Pan regiment commander of the 104th Army: "Okay, I actually broke ground on Lao Tzu's head, and if I don't give him some color to see, he doesn't know that Ma Wangye has three eyes, and orders the brothers, the battery enters a first-level combat state, and waits for my artillery order to target the Pan regiment of the 104th Army."
Deputy Commander Li of the Jiangfang Fleet saw these with his own eyes in the fort, and he immediately said to Lao Liao: "Brother Liao, you can't wait any longer, and you don't need to contact Jiangbei anymore, the spies are already eyeing us, we must strike first, otherwise you and I will suffer."
Chief Liao nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Lao Li, you go back first, wait for the movement of my battery, as soon as I fire the artillery here, your warship will immediately launch an attack on the garrison and artillery position of the 104th Army, your specific location you should have there, Jiangbei can hear our movement here, and will definitely send someone to contact the outside, maybe the river crossing operation will be launched." ” Deputy Commander Li hurriedly returned to the Jiangfang Fleet by gunboat from the fort, and immediately called the captains under him and said to them: "Brothers, this time we are going to make a move, don't follow Lao Jiang, brothers are willing to follow me, I Li welcome, if you don't want to go with me, I will not be difficult for you, send you back to Nanjing, how about everyone make a statement."
As soon as the captains of the Jiangfang fleet heard that Deputy Commander Li was going to revolt, they clapped their hands and applauded: "Great, we don't want to follow Lao Jiang for a long time, Commander Li, you can take everyone with you, we are all willing to follow you."
When Deputy Commander Li saw that things were going much smoother than he had originally imagined, he hurriedly nodded and said to his brothers: "Tell the brothers a good news, Chief Liao's side is also going to revolt, we will immediately enter the combat state, once there is movement on the side of the Jiangyin Fort, we will immediately block the mouth of the Yangtze River, shell the heavy artillery positions of the 104th Army, and carry out a battlefield uprising."
The gunboats and warships of the Jiangfang Fleet took action one after another, and the scouts of the 104th Army discovered that something was wrong and immediately reported it to the military headquarters, the commander of the 104th Army was a close confidant of Tang Enbo, surnamed Fan, and was still playing mahjong with the chief of staff and several officers in the military headquarters at the moment, and when he heard that the warships and gunboats of the Jiangfang Fleet were moving in the direction of his own military headquarters upstream, this Commander Fan didn't care about saying to the scout officers who came to report: "Leave their Jiangfang fleet alone, it is estimated that they are going upstream to intercept the troops crossing the river.
We just need to control Jiangyin's side, don't worry about other things, and don't report the same situation again."
Commander Fan thought that the scouts under his hand were too annoying, disturbing his elegant heart of playing cards, and seemed very impatient, Tang Enbo had already told him the bottom, the Yangtze River here must not be able to hold, once the river was crossed, the 104th Army was slightly resisted by the river, and then quickly evacuated to Shanghai, Nanjing was lost to occupy it, Shanghai is the place that must be defended, and many good things such as gold and silver property here have not had time to be shipped out.
With Tang Enbo's confession, Commander Fan naturally didn't want to defend the Jiangfang position, but his subordinates didn't think so, and they didn't even care about the military seat, so why should the petty officers under us be in a hurry, just like that, those scout officers didn't care about the abnormal movement of the Jiangfang fleet, what should they do or what they should do.
When Deputy Commander Li saw that his actions did not cause any reaction from the 104th Army near the fort, he was overjoyed and hurriedly sent a telegram to the old Liao of the fort: "Brother Liao, the time has come, do it as soon as possible, and let's raise an uprising together."
This telegram was intercepted by the spies of the Nanjing Station of the Secret Bureau, and it was quickly deciphered, and when Director Mao of the Secret Bureau saw it, he felt that the matter was serious, and thought that he would send the situation through Tang Enbo again, but he was afraid that it would be too late, so he directly instructed the spies of the Jiangyin side to report to Commander Fan of the 104th Army that the Jiangyin Fleet might "defect to the enemy" and that the Jiangyin Fort would not be guaranteed.
After receiving the telegram from Director Mao himself, this commander Fan realized that the matter was serious, pushed down the mahjong, stood up and said to the staff officer beside him: "Quickly contact the Pan regiment on the side of the fort, immediately disarm the Jiangyin fort, take over the fort, and open fire from the heavy artillery position to intercept the Jiangfang fleet."
Before Commander Fan's order was issued, he heard a loud thunderous noise coming from the direction of the fort, which shook the roof of the military headquarters and kept falling mud and dust, Commander Fan's face turned pale and shouted: "It's not good, the fort has opened fire, and the guy surnamed Liao wants to join the Communist Party" The officers around Commander Fan advised him: "Immediately order the Pan regiment to withdraw, report to Commander Tang, and the military headquarters will immediately move and retreat." t1706231537:
