Chapter 55: Raid on Wuhan


On 31 January, Wu Peifu summoned representatives of the workers of the Jinghan Railway from Zhengzhou to Luoyang and declared that the meeting would be forbidden, but the purpose and place of the preparatory meeting of the Jinghan Railway Workers' Federation had already been published in various newspapers, and on 1 February, the representatives of the trade unions of the stations of the Jinghan Railway held the inaugural meeting of the Federation of Trade Unions in Zhengzhou.

Wu Peifu immediately closed the headquarters of the Federation of Trade Unions.

On 4 February, the Federation of Trade Unions moved to Wuhan and announced a strike by the General League, and all passenger and freight cars on the Jinghan Railway were suspended, and the Jinghan Line was paralyzed.

The economic conditions proposed by the Federation of Trade Unions are not high, but the people to be investigated and prosecuted are unacceptable to both Wu Peifu and Cao Kun.

On 6 February, the CGT held a demonstration rally in accordance with the traditional pattern. was reprimanded by Zhang Chun as this is the rhythm of finding death, you must always be armed to protect the road, shouting a few slogans is revolution?

The attack was immediately ordered.

Zhang Chun knew very well that although Chen Tanqiu had secretly transported a batch of weapons into Wuhan, it was not easy to organize an armed force, especially when people in Beijing, Zhengzhou, and other places who organized a general strike were extremely wary of Jingzhou. can only rely on the group of people from Yuan Chuanjian's secret organization, and almost all of these people are used to respond to the sneak attack on Wuhan.

The power to protect the unions is on their own.

But the CGT is still negotiating with the government.

Many workers don't know what to do, thinking that this should be the case.

But this is really just telling Cao Kun and Wu Peifu that we have power and you have to cooperate with us.

Cooperation is the real intention of the CPSU.

I don't know if Zhang Guotao doesn't understand this, but ordinary workers definitely won't understand.

Zhang Chun smiled: "Is this a complete revolution?

Or is it an incomplete revolution?

” Outside Wuhan.

The water network and forests are dense, and most of the farmland is avoided by the reeds and mountain forests.

The Han River and the Yangtze River meet here, and there is a little heavier rain.

It's flooded.

But now, these reeds and mountains have become the best barrier for warriors to run and lurk.

Tens of thousands of people from the three divisions went out at night and arrived at the execution site silently.

It only took four or five days.

"Wuhan is a big city, bigger than Jingzhou and Xiangyang combined.

Wuhan is full of landlords and old money who are hostile to us.

The situation is different from that in the countryside, everyone should be careful and shoot directly when in danger.

But don't waste too much time somewhere else.

Our goal.

Everyone's map is clearly marked, interspersed with core areas such as river banks, and destroying military camps.

Controlling government agencies, taking down those government officials, and not allowing their chain of command to work.

I don't want you to suffer unnecessary casualties, and I want to take them at the lowest cost. ” In the dark.

Wuhan is a behemoth.

Zhou Rong once again warned his regiment commander and company commander to pay attention to things.

These people have been fighting for more than a decade.

Naturally, this is well known.

However, Zhou Rong was still afraid that these cadres would have empiricist emotions and actions, so he warned again.

"Don't have any illusions about the several barracks that have been marked, and use rockets if you can until you surrender.

Protect your recruits, who carry ammunition and provisions on your back, and if you lose them, you lose half your life.

If the recruits lose too much.

Come and be punished yourselves, and go to the commander yourselves and plead guilty. ” Zhou Rong's decision determined the tragic fate of the defenders of Wuhan.

Because this is not to give any time for reaction and negotiation.

Such an order may be difficult to avoid accidentally injuring the people.

Because at the slightest abnormal movement, the fighters will move.

They rarely have a living mouth in their hands, and you may not even have a chance to explain.

But such an order also determined the pace of the attack of the 1st Division.

In fact, all three divisions reached the edge of the city of Wuhan by interspersed paths.

Bypassed Hanchuan, Anlu and Xiaogan.

According to Mao Shishan, it is called the heart-digging tactic.

Some of the defenders in these directions were the original Wang Zhanshan's people, some Sun Chuanfang's people, and some were already Xiao Yaonan's people, after losing their unified command.

It would be much easier to go back and deal with these defenders.

But if the chain of command exists, it puts the troops in danger of being counter-encircled.

The violent explosion in the direction of the barracks made Xiao Yaonan, who was in a meeting, walk out of the Governor's Mansion with a group of officers.

With such a violent explosion, the gunfire was very sparse.

Wang Ruqin, the commander of the Eighth Division, had made several contacts with Zhang Chun's troops, and his face turned pale when he heard the explosion.

The same is true of Lu Jinshan of the Eighteenth Division.

"Governor, this is Zhang Weimin's troops, why are they so close to us."

Du Xijun, the guard of Huang Han, screamed directly: "My brigade, it's over, that's my brigade headquarters." ” Xiao Yaonan hurriedly called the adjutant: "Telegram, telegram, ask what's going on, how many people came." ” The adjutant hadn't taken a few steps before a blood flower bloomed in his chest.

The adjutant touched his chest, then looked back at Xiao Yaonan blankly.

"Governor, telegraph telegram ......"

A telegraph soldier ran out of the brightly lit staff room, but before he could say a few words, he fell to the ground.

Unlike the staff officer, he flew up and slammed open the door to the staff room like a piece of paper.

Then he fell to the ground.

Then Xiao Yaonan saw that the staff officers in the staff room were also shot and fell.

Wang Ruqin was already hiding behind the doorpost: "Governor, come here, danger, lamp, lamp." ” Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yaonan's head hit.

The officials who came out together were put aside like wheat.

Wang Ruqin couldn't care so much, and shouted: "Lights, turn off the lights, the enemy is dark and I am bright, this is looking for death." ” The lights on the staff were out.

But the guards' rooms were lit up everywhere instead of going out.

The guards ran out with guns in hand.

The fire flashed, and there was a violent explosion in the guardhouse.

There are more than 40 high-ranking officials, and there are not many people who can react like Wang Ruqin, they stood under the light of the hall when they came out, and now most of them are lying in a pool of blood.

"One company, at least one company is here."

Lu Jinshan crawled over in the shadows and pulled Wang Ruqin.

"They are carrying rockets, only the main force, the main force of a company, and the surrounding regiments must be finished."

Wang Ruqin listened carefully to the explosion, nodded and said, "It's indeed over."

How do they know so much about our intelligence?

There were explosions in all the barracks directions. ” Lu Jinshan's voice trembled, "Brother Wang, are we surrendering?"

” Wang Ruqin said: "No, not now."

Zhang Weimin's soldiers are not absolutely safe, they will not show their faces, and they will not accept surrender.

Wait a minute.

None of them even dared to do so, but it was different when there were more people. ” Wang Ruqin pointed to the guardhouse that was blown up, it was not that there were no soldiers who surrendered with their guns, but it was true that no one accepted it, and the bullet knocked them down without hesitation.

"His grandmother's land, they shot the captives."

On the other side, a division commander who didn't know which division it was scolded in a low voice.

Wang Ruqin said in a low voice: "Brother Ronghua, that's a ghost soldier, don't complain."

Let the soldiers stand still and wait for surrender.

Otherwise, they will die in vain. ” Lu Jinshan trembled and said: "Ghost soldier, the gun has no sound, there is no sound when walking, you can't hit him, he can hit you."

This is the most popular night raid for the people's soldiers. ” Wang Ruqin simply sat cross-legged on the ground: "That's an elite soldier, Zhang Weimin is willing to throw silver on the big soldiers, and there is silver."

We have at most one or two platoons of guards.

He is a whole teacher.

Mayor Sun is a powerful person, but he suffers every time he fights.

We can't. ” It can be regarded as Zhou Rong's luck that Xiao Yaonan is calling on the military and political officials how to quell the strike.

Let the vanguard even give a pot to serve it.

Barracks everywhere were baptized with rocket artillery.

Even artillery could not have concentrated so much fire.

But the shells of the Fourth Army could be carried by people.

Rocket artillery is different from ordinary artillery, its attacks are precision attacks, so after a round, there are not many soldiers who can stand up, and even fewer officers who can command.

Snipers use their fire to knock out any threatening opponent.

The people from the Wuhan Party group who came to answer were just waiting to receive them.

Of course, the most important thing is that these defenders are not prepared at all.

For a long time, the troops in central Hubei have been slowly expanding around the periphery.

There has never been such an attack that crossed several counties in a row.

It's a one-sided battle.

By daybreak.

In the city center, the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant were taken.

The army surrounded the concession.

Wu Hao, who had infiltrated Wuhan in advance, on behalf of the Hubei Central Autonomous Government, ordered all the concessions in Wuhan to be returned to state-owning, and ordered all foreign ships and soldiers to withdraw from the Yangtze River within 24 hours, and to cancel all the privileges of foreigners in the concessions.

Foreigners are allowed to do business in Wuhan, but they must pay taxes in accordance with the policies of the autonomous regional government. ———————— Wuhan had actually been taken, and on 7 February, the Hubei-China Autonomous Government sent a telegram to the whole country, condemning the Beijing government's suppression of the workers' movement and banning the Railway Workers' General Union, and ordering all the warlords along the Hubei-Beijing-Hankou Railway to surrender immediately. said that it was to surrender, but in fact, Zhou Rong, who had swept around Wuhan, attacked Macheng in a hurry.

The more than 30,000 defenders of Macheng were scattered because there was no order from the commander, and most of them were from Henan, so they retreated to Henan territory in droves.

Li Tiancai crossed the river and took Daye directly. transferred the ammunition to Zhou Rong and Li Tiancai, and he could only use Zhang Linyue, who was made in Hanyang, to stay in the Hanyang Arsenal.

Chen Tanqiu led a workers' picket to maintain law and order.

Hanchuan, Anlu, and the defenders all surrendered under the orders of Wang Ruqin and Lu Jinshan.

The defenders of Chuyang, Jianli, and Gangneung were in chaos without a fight, some troops looted money everywhere and prepared to flee, and some troops quelled civil strife in the name of uprising.

It's a mess.
