Wang Wenhua's eyes were burning at this time. Zunyi had not even been able to defend for a day and was broken by the Sichuan army. How could he have the face to go back to Guiyang to meet his uncle Liu Xianshi? Moreover, if the Sichuan army took the lead, I am afraid that the Guizhou Constitutional Party would suffer.
It was a disaster, so Wang Wenhua also tried his best. While commanding his men to counterattack the gap in the city wall, he also deployed street fighting, hoping to fight to the death with the Sichuan army.
Liu Xiang had already arrived in Zunyi City at this time, commanding his men to expand the results of the battle.
"Battal Commander, these Guizhou troops are fighting tenaciously. I'm afraid it will be difficult to occupy Zunyi!"
Liu Xiang looked at the situation on the battlefield and said loudly: "Now we are on a narrow road. If we don't advance, we will retreat. Let brothers work harder. As long as Zunyi is captured, I will personally thank everyone for the credit!" Liu Xiang said a few words.
He tried his best to say something, and then called Liu Qingfu closer.
Liu Qingfu led his team to blow open the city gate and contributed greatly to the Sichuan army's attack. Liu Xiang knew that if he wanted to break the deadlock at this time, he would have to rely on these elite special forces. "Qingfu, I think the Guizhou army now relies entirely on its officers."
Only by being suppressed can you resist bravely. Can you think of ways to kill a few officers of the Guizhou Army!"
"Battal Commander, don't worry, I'll do it right away!" Liu Qingfu and a few team members quietly sneaked into the houses near the city wall. After climbing over several houses, a small temple appeared in front of them. Liu Qingfu climbed to the top of the Main Hall.
This is the highest place in the surrounding area, so you can have a clear view of the battlefield.
At this time, the Sichuan Army had been suppressed by the Guizhou Army near the gap in the city wall. If it had not been escorted by two machine guns, it would have been driven out. However, the Guizhou Army relied on its numerical advantage and continued to press forward. The two armies sawed back and forth, and at the city wall
Hundreds of people fell nearby, and their blood stained the city bricks red.
At this time, Liu Qingfu happened to see a young Guizhou Army officer waving a sword, running to the front line to supervise the battle, shouting and charging to kill. He saw that he was a leader. Liu Qingfu quietly pointed his rifle at the officer. The range of the Mauser rifle could
At 800 meters, the distance between the two people is almost the same.
Liu Qingfu held the rifle tightly in his hand, as if he didn't care about anything. There was only himself, the rifle and the prey between heaven and earth. In an instant, a gunshot rang out. Wang Wenhua, who was commanding desperately, felt as if his chest was suddenly hit by a fist.
His body trembled for a while, and most of his strength disappeared in an instant.
When the adjutant on the side saw it, he was immediately shocked. Wang Wenhua was the nephew of Liu Xianshi, the chief of the military and political section. If he was injured, Liu Xianshi would not peel off their skins. He hurriedly asked a few people to lift Wang Wenhua and fled to the back.
Originally, he wanted to send him to the military doctor first, but when he escaped, the people around him thought that Wang Wenhua had died, so they immediately lost their fighting power and fled in all directions.
The rest of the Yunnan army was just chasing ducks, but now that they saw everyone running away, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and ran away one after another. When Liu Xiang saw this situation, he knew that Zunyi had been conquered, and he was also exposed.
He turned back and hurriedly ordered his men to pursue the Guizhou army.
The so-called defeat is to describe the current Guizhou army. Wang Wenhua's life or death was uncertain, which made everyone lose their fighting spirit. They threw away all their guns and ammunition. They all wished they could grow three legs and fled Zunyi one after another. Many of them were slow-footed.
He was captured and worked hard all night before Zunyi regained peace.
"Commander, Liu Fucheng did a good job. I didn't expect to capture Zunyi so quickly!"
"Well, it's indeed good. It was the third brother who suggested letting him play the vanguard. Now it seems that the third brother's vision is really beyond words. If you train him well, he will be a strong man!"
Wu Tong and Qiao Zhen were very happy after receiving Liu Xiang's report. They hurriedly ordered their subordinates to move quickly, enter Zunyi to rest, and then waited for Yang Wicheng to join forces, so that the two armies could attack Guiyang together and capture Liu Xianshi before the Yunnan army.
Take it….
"When Mr. Dachao arrives in Chengdu, there will be hope for the Sichuan railway!"
The design work of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway was handed over to Zhan Tianyou, the most outstanding railway designer in China. Zhan Tianyou was already in his early fifties and worked in the field all year round. Zhan Tianyou did not have the pampering of the big shots of this era. Instead, he just
He looks like an ordinary worker, with a short stature and rough hands.
"Captain Qiao, along the way, Sichuan has prospered its business and trade, even compared to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The governor has managed it well!"
Qiao Yu took Zhan Tianyou into his guest room and poured a cup of tea for Zhan Tianyou himself: "Mr. Dachao, the Sichuan-Hankou Railway is a dream of the people of Sichuan, and it is also the most important lifeline for Sichuan's future development.
It's a very important matter, so I'll leave it to you sir!"
"You're welcome, Governor Qiao. It is my duty to build the Sichuan-Hankou Railway to benefit the country and the people. The construction of the roadbed from Yichang to Wanxian was started some time ago. However, the road protection movement broke out and there was insufficient funds.
Don’t give up, it would be a good thing if you can rebuild it again.”
According to the plan, the Sichuan-Hankou Railway is divided into four sections: the Chengdu-Chongqing line from Chengdu to Chongqing, the Chongqing-Wanzhou line from Chongqing to Wanxian, Wanxian to Yichang in Hubei, and then Yichang to Wuhan. Among them, the most difficult to construct is the Yiwan section.
Here we have to pass through the high mountains in the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River, which is very difficult.
In fact, according to common sense, the Chengdu-Chongqing section should be built first. This section is in Sichuan Province and has a flat terrain, making it easier to build. However, the problem is that when building the Sichuan-Hankou Railway, materials had to be transported from other provinces.
, so we started from the nearest Yiwan section.
However, Qiao Yu has a different view on this. Even if materials are imported from other places, the Chengdu-Chongqing section should be built first. These are the two largest cities in Sichuan Province. As long as the railway can be built, the flow of materials and personnel between the two cities will be limited.
It will inevitably be closely connected several times. This section alone can generate huge profits. Relying on these profits to further promote the final completion of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway, only in this way can the maximum benefits be achieved, and even if the Wanxian to Yichang section is successfully built
, and it will not achieve very good economic results.
Now, with the establishment of the Chongqing Iron and Steel Plant, and Sichuan now has a number of cement, brick and timber factories, most of the raw materials used for railway construction can be produced by itself, so building the Chengdu-Chongqing section first has become an inevitable choice.
!
Qiao Yu discussed his idea with Zhan Tianyou. Zhan Tianyou was also very supportive, but he also had a question: "Captain Qiao, the Chongqing Iron and Steel Plant is still under construction. Can suitable railway tracks be provided soon?"
"Mr. Dachao, don't worry. I have already asked Zhao Baoxuan. American engineers are assisting in the planning. The factory is being built very quickly. The first batch of machines has been shipped from the United States. I believe that rails will be produced within a year. Of course, it is not there yet."
We must be able to provide a sufficient number of rails, but don’t forget that the Hanyang Iron Works is still under my control. With these two iron plants, the rails of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway will definitely not be a problem!"
Zhan Tianyou's expression seemed to be bad when he mentioned the Hanyang Iron Works: "Captain, it was originally the number one factory in East Asia, but it was almost sold to the Japanese some time ago. It was all thanks to the Governor's dealings that we were able to ensure the safety of the factory, but there has been
We are so controlled by the Japanese. Many engineers are sent by the Japanese. Not only do they strictly control us technically, but they also try their best to prevent the Hanyang Iron Works from taking the right path. Now it can only become a Japanese
He is just a puppet of Yawata Steel Works. In my opinion, the future of Chinese steel companies still lies in Chongqing Steel Plant, and the Governor must manage it well!"
