"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! Over there, tie it tight, otherwise it will be troublesome if it falls. Over there, don't pile it up so much, or the car may be damaged!"
Nanhua Temple, which closed its doors to thank guests, was bustling with people. Carts and carriages were assembled, livestock and cattle were led to the temple one by one, and they were hitched to the carriages and began to transport the loaded arms out of the temple.
The carriages all used rubber tires from later generations, but the weight of the carriages increased a lot compared to the large vehicles at this time.
"Master, there are too many. It's hard for us not to attract attention along the way." Jin Shan wiped his sweat and walked up to Jiang Cheng and said.
Jiang Cheng looked at the motorcade that had been lined up for hundreds of meters and nodded and said, "In that case, don't be secretive. This place is still some distance from Shaoguan. Let's get some national flags and put them all on the motorcade. Let's be generous."
In the past, I am also making some Japanese national flags, and finally I am making a few more flags with Youth Army written on them, which I will use."
Jinshan scratched his head, wondering where to get these flags. Jiang Cheng looked at him like that, waved his hand and said, "Just do your best."
Jinshan then sighed and went to ask someone to pull the cloth and hang the flag.
After a while, Li Qian came over and said, "My boss, there are too many things. We can move all the weapons away, but some of the ammunition may be left behind. What should I do?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Go and find the master."
Xuyun, who was already a hundred years old, came over to Jiang Cheng, clasped his hands and said, "Good, good, do you have any instructions from the donor?"
Gallagher in Jiang Cheng's mind saw that the old monk was a hundred years old and still had such a youthful appearance. He immediately wanted to debate Buddhism with Xu Yun noisily in his mind. Jiang Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to him and said directly, "Master, you also saw it.
, These are military supplies, used to fight the Japanese, but we have too many of them and may not be able to transport them all, so we want to store some in the temple, do you think it is okay?"
Xu Yun looked at the mountain-like pile of arms, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't understand how it came about. He asked Jiang Cheng, "Since the donor can transport it, why can't he transport it away?"
Jiang Cheng also knew that this question was difficult to answer. He said hehehe, "This... this person can come out of his mother's womb. May I ask, master, can he still go back?"
Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and touched his beard and said, "These things of the donor are in this temple, and I'm afraid there will be countless heroes peeking at them, especially the Japanese pirates. But now the Japanese pirates are invading the border, killing my brothers and humiliating my sisters! How good is that?"
, Good thing, if I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell? Although the Buddha has a bodhisattva heart, he also has vajra methods! Even if the donor keeps it in this temple, he can pick it up when he needs it. If there is any loss, I will raise my head to see you!"
As he said that, the monks behind Xuyun clasped their hands together and chanted in unison, "Good! Good!"
Jiang Cheng was so frightened that he waved his hands quickly and said, "It's not that exaggerated... Well, it should be fine after just a few days. That will trouble Master a lot."
——Shaoguan
After the fall of Guangzhou, Shaoguan served as the gateway to northern Guangdong, bordering Jiangxi to the northeast and Hunan to the northwest. It was located at an important location on the Guangdong-Hankou Railway and became the center of the anti-Japanese war in northern Guangdong. It was also the wartime provincial capital of Guangdong. During this period, the Japanese army tried to attack Guangdong.
, but due to inaccurate strategic positioning, there was never an all-out attack, which resulted in the first Shaoguan defense battle ending in Japanese defeat.
At this time, Shaoguan had more than a dozen universities and middle schools that had migrated from various parts of Guangdong, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops. The core of which was the 12th Group Army. The commander of the group army was also the deputy commander of the 4th Theater, and was evaluated by Jiang as a man of character.
Kindhearted Yu Hanmou.
But at this time, Yu Hanmou's reputation was not good. Due to the fall of Guangzhou, he, Wu Tiecheng, the then governor of Guangdong Province, and Zeng Yangpu, the mayor of Guangzhou City, were criticized by the society. At that time, there was a folk song in Guangdong that said, "Yu Hanmou has no intention, Wu Tiecheng
Iron is lost in the city, and it has been raised without a trace."
But when Yu Hanmou lost Guangzhou, he had another excuse.
Yu Hanmou was born in the Guangdong Army, and his troops were all Guangdong Army, and he was Chen Jiongming's subordinate at that time. Guangdong was the economic leader among the provinces at that time. Sitting in such a geomantic treasure land, the Guangdong Army naturally made a lot of money, and pitifully
Compared with the Sichuan Army, the Guangdong Army is simply a rich man. However, these rich men are not as ambitious as Yan Xishan or Bai Chongxi. They do not have money to buy equipment to arm the army. Instead, they open factories and mines to make money with money.
, a large part of the reason for this is that Yu Hanmou and others knew that they had many opponents of Chiang Kai-shek. Not only did they reduce the number of troops from 60 regiments to 40 regiments, but they also used this method to reassure the Nanjing Central Committee, and Chiang Kai-shek also reciprocated by letting Yu Hanmou.
He has long held military power in Guangdong.
When the Red Army was encircling and suppressing the Red Army, Yu Hanmou was the commander of the First Army and established Shuangtian Company. It was stipulated that lieutenants should raise 100 yuan and school officers should raise 300 yuan. At first, workers were hired to mine tungsten sand and purchased at a low price of 80 yuan per load.
Shipped to Guangzhou and smuggled to Hong Kong for sale at a high price of 300 to 400 yuan per load. Every major at least in Shuangtian Company can receive a monthly bonus of more than 300 yuan, which is two or three times higher than the monthly salary of a major. Red zones are also implemented.
The economic blockade policy prohibits the shipment of grain, oil, salt, kerosene, matches, Western medicine, cloth and other daily necessities into the Red Soviet Republic. Violators will be punished as "traveling to foreign countries". But they took the opportunity to buy and sell, making a fortune.
It wasn't until ****** went to Ganzhou to take office that he reluctantly spit out this piece of fat.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Yu Hanmou was also extremely nervous. After all, Hong Kong and Macau continued to transport supplies to Guangzhou for blood transfusions for China. Before the Wuhan Battle, a piece of information that the Japanese army was going to attack Guangzhou was sent from Chongqing to Guangzhou, which scared Yu Hanmou to death.
It was a formation of troops and a general mobilization of society. After working for a long time and donating millions, the Japanese army stopped coming and diverted to attack Wuhan. Yu Hanmou breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Losing that mother, we will do too much."
The two pots of stuff were so frightening that I was half-disabled even if I didn’t die.”
But halfway through the Battle of Wuhan, Japan really came. When Chiang Kai-shek's telegram was sent to Yu Hanmou, Yu Hanmou and other Guangzhou officials didn't believe it. Instead, they felt that if there was another general mobilization of society and the Japanese army still didn't come, it would be nothing.
, it really affected the morale of the army, so they didn’t take it seriously. When the Japanese army started to attack, many officers were not at their posts. Even Brigadier Wen Shuhai, who was guarding Shenzhen at the time, was seducing a British girl in a bar in Hong Kong.
But he couldn't care less about Shu. Naturally, he was completely defeated even though he had an advantage in military strength.
It must be mentioned that there are still tough men in every army. Brigadier Zhong Fangjun of the 153rd Division, after participating in the Futian battle, asked several times to lead his troops to increase troops and attack the enemy on all fronts, but he never got the approval from his superiors.
Approval. On the way to retreat to Xintang, he saw the miserable conditions of his injured soldiers and refugees. He felt endless shame. The livid-faced Brigadier Zhong suddenly pulled out his gun, pointed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.
But internally, Yu Hanmou often said that if Chongqing's military intelligence hadn't always been wrong, they would never have been so lax and unprepared.
But in recent days, the soldiers in Shaoguan found that their commander-in-chief Yu Hanmou was a little distracted. He appeared on the high city wall of Shaoguan at every turn, looking at the south and mumbling. Some people spread the rumors that Yu Hanmou hoped to regain the lost territory as soon as possible, which could not help but lower the morale of the defenders.
He was greatly motivated and determined to commit bloody shame. But everyone around Yu Hanmou knew that this officer was concerned about why the mysterious transport team Chongqing mentioned had not come yet.
"Sir Yu, this is already the fifth day. We sent people to keep an eye on all the way from Guangzhou to Shaoguan, but we didn't see any large transport convoys. Is this information accurate?" Zeng Yangpu next to him was confused.
said.
Yu Hanmou said impatiently, "This is a call made by the commissioner himself. Are you sure? And the commissioner said that we must ensure that this batch of military supplies is transported to Hengyang at all costs. All the civilian troops along the way have been mobilized."
, you haven’t noticed, the trains haven’t left in the past few days, just because of the traffic blockade to make way for this batch of supplies!”
Zeng Yangpu still shook his head in disbelief and said, "But how is it possible that this batch of supplies came from Guangzhou? Are all Japanese blind?"
Yu Hanmou anxiously turned around and said, "I'm not worried about how he transported it into Guangzhou. I'm afraid that he was discovered by the Japanese on the way. When the time comes, we will send troops to snatch these things back! Didn't you receive it?"
The phone call from the commission, the tone... Also, have you noticed the people from the military commander and the central commander? They are all moving!! How can this formation be fake?"
Two years ago, what Yu Hanmou would have been most upset about was that once the railway was blocked, his business would no longer be possible. But now he no longer has that thought. In fact, not only him, but also the entire mid-level and senior officers of the Guangdong Army are gone.
How much business is there? You must know that due to the prosperity of Guangzhou, most of these people's family members are near Guangzhou. Some of them ran to Hong Kong or evacuated safely with the large troops, but most of them are the family members of mid-level and senior military officers.
They were all trapped in their families. Many of the officers later learned that their wives, daughters, and mothers had been raped. No fewer than dozens of Cantonese army officers committed suicide because of this incident. Yu Hanmou believed that he loved his soldiers as much as his sons.
, in the end, this situation made him feel extremely regretful and ashamed, and he could not help but resolve to train his troops to avenge his shame. However, he did not have the military qualities himself, so he began to join forces with other Cantonese generals who had been squeezed out by him. This was also the first time that he later
The main reason for the victory in the Second Battle of Northern Guangdong.
Just as he was talking, an officer hurriedly ran up, shouting as he ran, "It's coming! It's coming! There's such a long convoy coming!"
Yu Hanmou stepped forward nervously, grabbed the officer and asked, "What convoy? Where did it come from?"
The officer smiled and said, "There are many large vehicles coming from the direction of Guangzhou. I think there are hundreds of them. They are several miles long. They are guarded by guards on the left and right. They are loaded with guns and ammunition. It looks like the one you mentioned, Commander."
Team, I even saw cannons!"
Yu Hanmou stopped talking nonsense with the officer and ran quickly to the south of the city with Yu Hanmou. After a while, they arrived at the south of the city. Sure enough, they saw a convoy heading towards him in the distance. He quickly picked up the telescope and looked, but
Seeing that the motorcade was all flying national flags, and the leading car also had a flag with "Youth Army" written on it, he nodded excitedly and said, "Yes! Yes!! This is it, hurry up! Open the city gate quickly,
Clean the streets! Follow me left and right."
Li Zhen, the deputy commander of the 65th Army next to him, hurriedly stopped and said, "Commander, what if this is a trick of the Japanese? Should we be more cautious? Why is it so hard for me to believe that such a large transport convoy passed under the eyes of the Japanese?"
Woolen cloth?"
Yu Hanmou nodded and said, "You're right, you're right. Let's go, you and I will go take a look first. Mr. Zeng, please keep an eye on the city."
Before Zeng Yangpu could say no, Yu Hanmou led the people down to the top of the city in a hurry, leaving Zeng Yangpu on the top of the city with his mouth twisted.
Yu Hanmou rode a horse and led a group of people to greet the convoy. Jiang Cheng saw the person coming and walked out with Li Qian and Jin Shan.
Yu Hanmou dismounted and looked at Jiang Cheng and others. He could tell at a glance that Jiang Cheng was the person in charge. He saluted and said, "I am Yu Hanmou, deputy commander of the Fourth War Zone and commander of the 12th Group Army. These are the leaders of the convoy transporting supplies as mentioned by the Chairman."
?”
Jiang Cheng also saluted and said, "I am Jiang Cheng, director of the Youth Army Logistics Department, with the rank of major general. This is my military officer ID."
