From to 1935 2020

The golden dung cannon used to take a long time to prepare for launch (about ten seconds and the launch platform needs to be repaired), the range is short (generally within 200 meters), and the sound is loud when fired (there is a chance to avoid it). When you hear the sound of firing, everyone finds a place Just hide, as soon as you hear the sound of shelling, find cover immediately, and generally you won't be splashed with shit.

After changing the launcher, the golden dung bomb is now launched by the "big yellow crossbow" with a winch turntable and winding. It is silent when fired.What's even more disgusting is that when the Red Army guerrillas did this immoral thing more than before, they often shit directly into the bamboo tube on the spot, and then stuffed a small piece of earth-made time-delayed blasting powder, and went everywhere if there was nothing to do. The White Army's stronghold was thrown indiscriminately.

Hit during the day, hit at night, even immediately after a cannon of hot shit, it's really "hit it while it's hot", you don't want to hurt people, just to splatter your stinky shit and disgust you to death.

Little harm, but extremely insulting.But after suffering such a great humiliation, he had to hold back not to chase in and be tricked into the forest, otherwise it would be nothing more than splashing shit all over his body.

"Junzuo, you can't stay in this ghostly place in Hanzhong, it's just a smelly hut!"

Every time Xue Yue went to the front line to inspect, he could smell the stench almost everywhere, and the defenders everywhere complained.It's not that they haven't done it before in the mountains to suppress bandits, but as soon as the army is dispatched, the opponent will flee and hide, and then continue to fire cold shots and plant stink bombs and landmines, just not to confront you head-on.As soon as you retreat, it will immediately come out and spray shit on your face...

As long as you don't get shot in the cold, the dead basically can't die, but the situation of being bombarded with shit every day is unbearable for anyone.

This kind of bad law and order has always been a nightmare for the regular army.

An entire army of [-] people is trapped in this cage in Hanzhong. Every day, if there is nothing to do, they will be sprayed with stinky feces by their opponents... At first, they were full of anger, then they were full of resentment, and then they were "Except for the feces in the nostrils, there is no gas." The morale of the central army on the front line is getting low day by day, and they just want to leave the guerrilla zone at the front line as soon as possible and hide in the clean rear.

After trying various methods but unable to cope with this endless attacking war, Xue Yue was already considering using the most extreme method at the beginning of April: all the villages close to the surrounding mountainous areas were merged into large villages. Gather up and let the civilians arm themselves for "joint defense", while his regular army hides away and shrinks back to fight soy sauce.....

What made Xue Yue even more angry and full of hatred was that the leaders of the Sichuan army next to Hanzhong in Sichuan also learned of Xue Yue's tragic situation in the "shithole" in Hanzhong.

Here in Chengdu, some vitriolic newspapers have already given Xue Yue the nicknames "King of Shit Explosion" and "General Stinky Shit".

The so-called good things don't go out, embarrassing things spread thousands of miles, this nickname was spread after April, even newspapers as far away as Shanghai regarded this as an "interesting talk", ridiculed Xue Yue crazily, and let him " The name of "General Stinky Dung" is well known to the world.

Compared with Xue Yue's embarrassment in Hanzhong, Wei Lihuang, who crossed the Yellow River in the north and entered the south of Shanxi, also experienced at this time how bad his reputation will be after offending the gentry.

After his [-]th Army was "rejected" by the local garrison and gentry under the city of Linfen, he received Chang Kaishen's order to move to the northeast, cross the Taiyue Mountains, start from Qinyuan County, pass through Qinxian County, and Wuxiang County, ready to go to Yushe County and other Central Army reunions on the middle road.

Before the war, Wei Lihuang actually asked his troops to act together with Zhu Peide's Third Army, directly entering Hebei to rendezvous, and from there pouring into Shanxi.From a military point of view, Hebei is a plain, a Kuomintang-controlled area, with convenient supplies, and the integration of the three armies (referring to the third army, the newly formed first army) can directly oppress the Northeast Army to be obedient, and then start from Shimen and go directly west to Jin Central area, directly to the city of Taiyuan.

(Everyone knows the place name of Shijiazhuang. In fact, it should be called "Shimen" in this period. Of course, there are also Changshan. There are really a bunch of names, but I can't figure out which one to use.)

This road passes, the road is relatively flat, there are many cities along the way, supplies are convenient and it is not easy to fall, this is a very safe tactic.

But who told Chang Bald to be greedy for Yan Laoxi's body, um, it was his property.

He was strictly forbidden to go with Zhu Peide, and asked him to stay with the No. 14 Army, and then cross the Yellow River north, first unceremoniously swallowing the Yuncheng area sent by Yan Laoxi, then Jincheng, and finally when drawing the northeast route, still He was asked to allocate a small part of his troops to cooperate with the newly formed First Army to annex the Shangdang Changzhi area.

The land was occupied more and more, but along the way, Wei Lihuang's heart became more and more empty. Every time he occupied a piece of land, he had to divide at least one regiment or one battalion to stay in the garrison. ——Wei Lihuang can be regarded as shrewd. In the past winter, he recruited troops on the spot in advance, expanded his army, and brought two "new brigades" into Jin Dynasty, spreading these "security brigades" temporarily upgraded by local security forces along the way. Going on, it was finally ensured that the main combat power was not weakened by the division of troops to occupy places.

This is where Wei Lihuang is stronger than Zhu Peide and Sun Yuanliang.When Sun Yuanliang next to him entered the Jin Dynasty, his troops went all the way, received all the way, and "coffered salaries" everywhere, blackmailing the local gentry and the people, and the troops became more and more dispersed.In particular, the Second Division of the New First Army entered Shanxi from the Changzhi-Shangdang area. Most of the main force of this unit came from Hanzhong, and most of them were from the local security regiment.In addition, there was an order from the committee in the early stage, requiring them to "play steadily and steadily" and walk slowly. Combat strength, before meeting the Red Army, I lost a little by half.

Wei Lihuang himself entered the Jin Dynasty a few days later. He has a relatively good military discipline. After entering the Jin Dynasty, he unexpectedly discovered that his reputation in Shanxi is even higher than that of Sun Yuanliang who is raking land in the southeast of Shanxi. The smell is so bad that it can stop a child from crying.

There is no other reason, someone is blackmailing him, and there are two behind the scenes.

One is that the legacy of Huang Ke’s zero-yuan purchase of Changsha in the past has not dissipated. Not only in Hunan, but even most of the gentry in China still insist that the "bloodbath in Changsha" was done by Wei Lihuang on the orders of Chang Kaishen.If you offend the military chiefs, your reputation will not be bad, and if you offend Chang Kaishen, your reputation will not be bad, but if you offend the gentry group, it will definitely be difficult to improve your reputation.

Wei Lihuang, who has been blamed, is the best example.

Since Changsha bought it for zero yuan, newspapers from all over the country have mentioned him, saying strange things in oblique terms. What's more, they replaced "Wei Lihuang" with "Wei Lilocust", and even more wickedly gave him the name "Locust". General" nickname.

And the second pusher who made Wei Lihuang even more notorious before entering Shanxi was Yan Laoxi.

The biggest problem with Yan Laoxi's "sitting on the wall and watching" is that many local gentry are dead-headed and "uncooperative".

Among the three places in Shanxi, Datong in the north is backed by the Central Army and is relatively the safest.Taiyuan has a large number of soldiers, and it is not a problem to stick to it for a year or two.The weakest and most dangerous is Linfen, the southernmost city. Yan Laoxi is always worried about the lack of troops.Linfen is mainly based on agriculture, and the local wealthy people in the surrounding area are always reluctant to part with the pots and pans in their homes. It is not easy to mobilize them to take armed servants and hide in the city.

In their view, the Red Army wanted money and lives, and Chang Kaishen only wanted money.Especially the gentry and wealthy households in the southern Shanxi area, it seems to them that the sky is falling and the Red Army is still far away. If the central army in the south enters Jin, we will bleed some blood and let the central army protect us. Isn't it safe?

It is safe for you to operate like this, but it is not safe for me, Old Xi!

If Yan Laoxi wants to defend Linfen, he needs to gather as many militias in the hands of gentry from all over the place as possible in one place!In order to make them obey, Yan Laoxi had no choice but to frighten them.

The Red Army, which wants money and kills, is too far away from Linfen. Isn't there a "locust general" in the south who "want money and kills" and "washed Changsha with blood"?

So Wei Lihuang became "Wei Lihuang", the biggest villain who was pulled out by Yan Laoxi to intimidate the gentry from all over Shanxi to take their belongings and flee to Linfen. One of the old Xishen's operations is to be like Huang Ke People spread rumors about Wei Lihuang, saying that he entered Jin Dynasty to cleanse the gentry for Chang Kaishen, repeating the scene in Changsha...

After Wei Lihuang's army entered the Jin Dynasty, wherever his army passed along the way, the local gentry were frightened. Before the army arrived, they were frightened and fled to the nearby Linfen with their families and wealth.

After entering the Jin Dynasty, Wei Lihuang kept hearing his notoriety as "General Locust", and he was speechless.

When crossing Taiyue Mountain and passing the edge of the Shangdang area, Wei Lihuang yelled at Chang Baldzi for "talking about war on paper" all the way.

Why?

The hilly terrain in Shanxi was even more disgusting than Ruijin, which made the march of the [-]th Army, which was accustomed to fighting in plain areas, extremely painful.The vanguard had advanced dozens of miles, and a large number of artillery was stranded behind, trapped in the mountains and unable to move.

"Junzuo, what kind of army is this! We can go north through Linfen, and we can go straight to Taiyuan. Why do we have to make such a detour!"

It was Song Xilian of the 36th Division who complained to Wei Lihuang. He was marching in the mountains of Taiyue. The various mountain roads made him sick to the point of vomiting.

"Li Runshi's Red Army is fighting on the inside. Now Yan Xishan has made it clear that he wants to sit on the sidelines. If we rashly pass through Linfen and go directly north to Taiyuan, we will definitely be ambushed on the way."

Wei Lihuang also regretted:

"At that time, we should have gone with Yizhi (referring to Zhu Peide)! Now we enter the country from the south of Shanxi, and then take a detour to Taiyue Mountain to enter Jinzhong. It's a big circle, it's so stupid!"

"Actually, before we cross the river, we can take a detour through Hebei and enter Jin."

"In that case Jinnan will be occupied by Zhang Yang!"

Wei Lihuang pointed out the crux of the problem.

As an old warlord, Yan Laoxi is very aware of the hardships Zhang Xueliang has suffered in the past few years when he lost his territory. He deliberately threw this piece of cake at him, intending to draw all the forces to Shanxi, so that it would be convenient for him in his hometown. Warlords fish in troubled waters.

This is exactly where Yan Laoxi "manipulated" Chang Kaishen to death.

Just as Chairman Li Runshi had foreseen, Chang Kaishen only cared about "staking the land" in Shanxi, and couldn't tell which was more important, occupying the territory or eliminating the opponent. This was the biggest military mistake he made.

Chang Kaishen doesn't know whether Zhang Yang will really vote for the red, but if Zhang Xueliang gets the territory in Shanxi and has a nest, he really can't do anything to the Northeast Army, so he will ask Wei Li later. Huang Bei crossed the Yellow River into Jin, and then made a big circle to meet the Third Army and the newly formed First Army in a "divine operation".

Turning over a mountain, and another mountain, looking at the endless mountains on both sides, Wei Lihuang suddenly remembered the tragic experience of Hu Zongnan's first division in Baozuo Mountain a few months ago...

This situation, this scene, seems familiar, not good!

--------

"Brother Lingfu, why did you come in?"

"Brother Kezhai, don't ask too many questions, it's hard to explain!

"what happened?"

"I don't want to say more!"

In the "model prison" of the Nanjing Army, Zhang Lingfu answered the questions of Wu Chengren, the former commander of the 49th Division, with a gloomy face.

In the battle of reservations, the entire First Division was annihilated, and they were held accountable afterwards. The major crime was committed by that little "bandit leader" Wang Tianyuan. The man responsible for the minor crime was Wu Chengren, the commander of the 49th Division.

Huang Jie is not good, the iron army is not iron, neither of them can be benevolent.

This is the big joke of the three defeated generals in the Republic of China after the Battle of Baozuo.As a "little backer", Wu Chengren is still in the classroom, but he is about to be released.Unexpectedly, before going out, he accidentally ran into the only Huangpu alumnus who survived the Battle of Baozuo-Songpan.

The two people in the same prison dormitory did not talk speculatively, and they died after chatting for a few words. Then Zhang Lingfu lay on the bed and turned his back.

Zhang Lingfu went to prison because he beat and killed his newly married chieftain Huanglianpo during the Chinese New Year.

In history, he killed the earliest wife Wu Hailan at the end of 35. In this plane, he killed the chieftain's concubine who helped him in Kangxi.

The reasons are complex.After the Battle of Songpan, Zhang Lingfu, who only escaped with his life, relied on the daughter of the chieftain of Xikang, and with her help, he escaped unscathed and was lucky to be promoted.But what happened, quickly spread among the national army.

Little boy, the nickname of eating soft rice, really made him unable to hold his head up.

Afterwards, although the first division was rebuilt, he was also promoted from regimental commander to brigade commander, but at this time, the first division had changed from the chairman's own son to the son of the old Wang next door, and his treatment was not as good as that of a miscellaneous division.

Later, it became the First Division of the New First Army, and the situation still did not improve.There was a new boss at the top—long-legged general Sun Yuanliang.

What kind of virtue is this guy? Zhang Lingfu knew his old background during the Northern Expedition, and he has been reused only because of his status as the "Zhejiang Huangpu Clan".Originally, it was fine to pinch my nose and endure it, but no matter what, I am now a brigade commander.

But after Sun Yuanliang took office, the entire First Army was in a mess.

According to the establishment, the two divisions of the First Army should have a total of 2000 people.But in fact, Zhang Lingfu estimated that 6000 people would laugh, and the rest would be empty.

The predecessor of the new First Army was the First Division. When the prisoners were changed, the first division released by the Red Army had a total of about 7000 people. Why did it fall into the hands of Sun Yuanliang? After the "expansion", the number changed Decreased?

As the brigade commander, Zhang Lingfu discovered the problem when he cared a little bit.

First: a big psychological gap.It used to be the treatment of first-class central army first-class people, but now it has become the treatment of "not human" miscellaneous soldiers.

Second: During the rebuilding, review the magical operation of the gendarmerie: Those soldiers of the first division who were captured enjoyed the preferential treatment of "being treated as adults" by the Red Army. Enough.Then the Red Army let the people go, and the gendarmes rounded up all the people after the review, and robbed them of all the money in the name of review.

No matter how incompetent Zhang Lingfu is, he also knows that with such an operation, how can these soldiers have any loyalty at all?It is a conscience not to hit you with a black gun on the battlefield.

After some operations, many soldiers of the First Division ran away on the spot when they returned to the reconstruction. After the reconstruction, their salaries decreased and many ran away again.The third point at the end was because of Sun Yuanliang, the useless army commander.

After he took office, he ate even more on empty pay. He did nothing in the face of soldiers who kept fleeing, and he was not in a hurry to make up for it. He just focused on earning money...

Originally, Zhang Lingfu became the brigade commander, and it was fine to hang out with him, but most of the officers and colleagues around him were captured in the Battle of Songpan, and everyone else was captured. Only you, Zhang Lingfu, ran away. All of a sudden, he became an outlier, and after a few months, all kinds of weird rumors continued...

Later, when the Chairman mobilized the First Army into Hebei to suppress the Northeast Army, Zhang Lingfu instinctively felt that the battle was more dangerous than good.

Why?

In the current First Army, 5000 people died in the whole army. The equipment is poor, and the commander is even a waste.

At that time, he was very unhappy and was planning to pretend to be sick.

Just at this time, the new concubine in the family was making trouble again.

Afterwards, Zhang Lingfu regarded the incident in Xikang as a great shame.He originally had a wife, and married another one. Afterwards, the chieftain lady found out that she had changed from the "main house" to the "concubine room". ..

At that time, in a fit of anger, he drew his gun and killed his concubine...

Although the other party is the chieftain's daughter, her family background is not bad.Originally, after the Xikang incident spread, the official statement that he was a "hero" was the Republic of China version of Xue Rengui and Princess Bo.

As a result, within two months, you "Zhang Rengui" shot and killed the "Princess Boguo" who saved you from danger...

Although Zhang Lingfu argued afterwards that the woman was a communist, everyone knew it was the first thing. He was sentenced to death (in fact, he would not execute it, it was a lie), and then he was imprisoned in an army prison.

Lying on the prison bed, he comforted himself:

"It's a misfortune, not a blessing. The first army is like a bird, and Sun Yuanliang, an idiot, is leading the army. This time, entering the Jin Dynasty, there are many dangers. I didn't follow, maybe I was right!"

When Zhang Lingfu was lying on the bed in the army prison, Sun Yuanliang, who he called "the bird man with a rice bucket", was happily thinking about today's harvest in Liao County, Shanxi Jinzhong.

After entering the Jin Dynasty, because the chairman ordered to "march slowly", he knew the intention of the committee, and he has been happily "moving forward steadily".For the sake of absolute stability, the two divisions under his command are in the front, and his "army seat" is firmly hiding behind "counting money".

Shanxi is really a good place!The gentry here are so rich!

All the way here, he "asked for wages" all the way, and his pockets were bulging.The stolen silver dollars are more than enough to load three large trucks.

In the past three months, Sun Yuanliang was very poor!

When he was appointed as the commander of the new First Army, Sun Yuanliang was only happy for a day and couldn't stop laughing.

"The First Army is a stinking pit."
