Chapter 122 Two shelling
Compared to Xie Chi's panic and the lack of control of the six spirits, Sun Yixian seemed calm and calm. Even though his personality and wisdom were not outstanding, he still had the demeanor he should have after being a superior for so many years.
Her face was solemn, and the majesty and momentum that naturally revealed made Xie Chi, who was originally full of anxiety, calm down a lot. The four members of the Presidential Palace guards who followed him also took off the car and ran to Sun Yixian in small steps.
This was a group of fanatical *** party members, holding all of Thomson in their hands, blocking the "President" with a firm look. This decisiveness, fearlessness and the weapons in their hands made the Guangdong soldiers at the checkpoint nervous and held the weapons in their hands tightly.
Neither side dared to act rashly. Those who could have gun-carrying bodyguards were big shots. This small group of Guangdong soldiers were unwilling to make any misunderstandings. As for Sun Yixian, he would not joke about his life, and the situation was once stalemate.
"Who are you? Put down your weapons quickly, we need to check it out."
A squad leader in the checkpoint hid behind the fortification and shouted at the top of his voice, saying that he would not be so stupid as to go forward without confirming that the other party was an enemy or a friend. Sun Yixian didn't answer, and just sat quietly in the back of the carriage. The four soldiers loyal to the leader were silent, but they just pulled the safety bolt on the left side of the submachine gun.
Just when the two sides were stalemate, a man who looked like an officer took five soldiers to ride here. The young man in the lead showed a fierce aura, and was obviously a brave man who had been fighting for the rest of his life. He first approached the car as if nothing had happened, and glanced at Sun Yixian and Xie Chi in the car with his eyes slanted and coldly.
Seeing the ridicule inadvertently showing his lips, he obviously recognized the person in the car, but he did not expose it on the spot. Instead, he walked directly to the checkpoint, took out a document and shook it in front of the platoon leader stationed here: "Let go."
"yes"
The platoon leader was obviously in a panic at this time. He certainly recognized the person who came with the ID of the guard. This young man full of evil spirit was the confidant of Ye Juye, who served as the captain of the guard. Such a person was not something he, a small platoon leader, dared to take care of. Without asking anything, he chose to let him go.
"Sir, this,,,,,,,,,," Xie Chi was obviously hesitant when he saw the other party opening the tube card.
"Let's go" Sun Yixian understood, so he didn't talk nonsense and directly gave the order to continue on his way.
The driver who received the order quickly started the car and slowly drove forward. Seeing that there was no danger, several members of the Presidential Guard returned to the car behind.
The young officer also snorted disdainfully, got on his military vehicle and drove up with the two cars in front. Obviously, he wanted to follow the other party and his purpose was very clear, so he asked each of the guards not to stop Sun Yixian and his group.
After all the people of these cars left, a soldier exhaled a breath: "Planer Commander, I seem to recognize the two black cars, which are cars from the Presidential Palace." Although he saw that the other party had left, the atmosphere of being so generous that he dared not breathe for a moment left a lot of aftermath in the soldier's heart.
"Nonsense, do you see those portable machine guns? They are only Sun Dapao's things. I knew it was him." He patted the worn military cap on the soldier's head. What the platoon leader said was very boring.
But the soldier was not angry. Obviously, the relationship between the two was very warm. He was panicked: "Then why not stop this guy? If you let this old guy go, aren't you afraid of punishment from the top?"
"Don't worry, if you shouldn't care, we soldiers must have the knowledge of soldiers. Did the officer just now know? I know that it was a celebrity in front of Director Ye. He was responsible for anything that happened, and it had nothing to do with us." The squad leader looked indifferent. He could be a small officer who had been a little officer for so many years and still had the ability to observe his expressions.
On the other side, under the trail of a military vehicle, Sun Yixian finally passed through the city of Guangzhou safely, and on the way, he met his wife Soong Ching Ling who was following him. However, because of the shock, he had already miscarriage and could not have children in the future.
Arriving at the Naval Command of Changdi Haizhu Park, the person in charge of receiving a battalion commander of the Marine Corps, the young and handsome Ye Yiwei. Then Sun Yixian also boarded the Chuyu ship accompanied by a group of confidants. At this point, he was truly out of danger. The Guangdong army had no warships and could no longer threaten Sun Yixian himself.
Sun Yixian boarded the offshore warship, and the wind was calm. However, the loyal guards who were still in the presidential palace were in a great crisis.
At night, the Guangdong Army began to lead its troops to surround the Presidential Palace. In order to demand that Sun Yixian fulfill his previous promise, he stepped down with Xu Shichang and resigned from the position of "extraordinary president".
Because he could not get the desired response, the Guangdong army was able to facilitate dawn, dozens of people from the commander Yang Kunru planned to search for the weapons from the guards in the Presidential Palace. After some consolation, Sun Yixian's guard battalion said that he was willing to disarm, but secretly planned to open fire.
Yang Kunru was not suspected of being a fraud and arranged a pair of soldiers to the Presidential Palace, but the ones coming towards him were crazy firearms. All the unprepared Guangdong soldiers were immediately killed, and none of them were spared. Because of the powerful firepower of Thomson's submachine gun, most of the dead bodies were divided into two pieces. If they were cut in half, it can be seen that the portable machine gun was so fierce.
Sun Yixian's guard had a total of fifty Thomson machine guns with the latest 1921 model. At that time, the great powers embargoed arms into China, so it can be concluded that these new weapons were definitely smuggled into China from the United States through the Philippines.
Paoze died tragically, and the ghostly tricks of the guards in the mansion naturally aroused the anger of the Guangdong army. In an atmosphere of unity against the enemy, the Yang army's troops of the Guangdong army joined forces with the Seventh Regiment of Li Yunfu's troops of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division to besiege the Presidential Office. In addition to the guards, Sun Army also had a guard regiment of Chen Keyu, with about a thousand people.
In this originally beautiful neighborhood, Sun and Chen's army fought fiercely and fought for a long time. In order to end the war as soon as possible and to quell the chaos in Guangzhou, the Guangdong army had to fire artillery and assist.
At 10 o'clock in the morning during the day, under the powerful offensive of the Guangdong army, Sun's army was finally defeated, and he was truly willing to surrender. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Guangdong Army Commander Zhong Jingtang telegraphed military information to the headquarters where Ye Ju was located. The content included that the Sun-American Northern Expedition Army had been completely disarmed; the Presidential Palace closed the iron gate and refused to open, the Guangdong army surrounded the Presidential Palace and fired three cannons on Guanyin Mountain as a threat; the entire Humen area had been completely recovered, and Changzhou Hall sent three battalions to recover; another three battalions were sent to Henan; and the Finance Minister Liao Zhongkai appointed by Sun Yixian had been detained in Shilong.
In this battle at the Presidential Palace, more than ten people were killed or injured by the Northern Expedition Army, while the Guangdong Army was about thirty or forty people, and there were two or three civilians injured by stray bullets. It can be seen that the war was not fierce. If it was serious, it would be better not to mention whether Sun Yixian could run away from the stand. Under the heavy siege of the army, Chen Keyu and others would definitely die without a place to die.
In the process of pacifying the situation, the Guangdong army had serious military discipline, but what Ye Ju was most concerned about was the civilian army recruited by Sun Yixian in Guangzhou, for fear that these bandits with bad records would take the opportunity to disrupt the people. Before this, Sun Yixian appointed Yao Yuping as the guerrilla commander of the base camp, recruited a large number of bandits and organized them into civilian army for transfer to Shaoguan as the potential to assist the Northern Expedition.
Yao Yuping set up forty-two recruiting agencies in Guangzhou. Ye Ju had already noticed this, so on June 16, Weichen ordered the Guangdong Army's first military action to disband the civilian army scattered in various parts of Guangzhou.
At the same time, although Wei Bangping, the commander of the Third Division, advocated that he was neutral, his brigade commander Chen Zhangfu assisted in maintaining local order. The various troops organized a joint inspection team of the Guangdong Army, and Chen Zhangfu was the commander. After disarming the defenders of the Presidential Office, they began to be distributed in an orderly manner in various parts of the city, trying their best to maintain public order. Military vehicles were also sent to parade the streets, hanging slogans such as "Bandits rob, and shots on the spot".
This move quickly calmed down from the chaos and restored its previous firepower.
After Sun Yat-sen boarded the Chuyu ship in the morning on the 16th, he led the fleet to detour in Huangpu. At this time, Sun Yixian had long been blinded by anger and humiliation. Ye's move was undoubtedly an extreme contempt for the military president, the president of the ** party, and the "father of the Nation" of 1911.
He ignored the advice of the surrounding naval generals and insisted on ordering the use of flowering bullets to fire in residential areas, and also asked for machine guns to be used to strafuse the fire.
When Sun Yat-sen ordered the navy to fire on the 16th, Wen Shudeyi, the captain, was quite hesitant. This man had studied at the Royal Naval School in the UK and received the most orthodox military education. Moreover, there were civilians from his own country on the shore, so he really couldn't bear to add artillery fire.
Moreover, the captains of each ship were unwilling to fire, but they were closely monitored by Sun's troops. Some party members claimed that "there is a big deal, and the president is responsible." The officers on the ship were threatened by sailors with pistols and forced to fire at the city of the Changdi bank. These sailors were recruited by Sun Yat-sen in the Mariners' Guild in the ship.
When their lives were threatened, the captains naturally had nothing to say and had to rush into the sky for a while. Because they deliberately avoided the densely populated areas of the houses, fewer places were destroyed.
On the morning of June 17, 1922, Sun Yixian personally led Yongfeng and seven other ships to dispatch from Huangpu. At 1:30 after noon, bombarded the various places in front of Shimin Tu Factory in Dahe Haizhu Tianzi Wharf in Guangdong Province, and carried out cover shootings at Baiyun Mountain, Guanyin Mountain, Guangjiu Station in Dashatou, Shahe and other places.
Within two hours, more than 60 guns were fired, and it finally stopped temporarily. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery fired again until the left and right at dusk, and the fleet returned to retreat. Two bombardments, the sound of the cannons was about to reach hundreds of sounds, bullets flew everywhere, falling down in all directions, hurting people and destroying things, and countless people were unknown.
This kind of sensational news was of course criticized and scolded by major newspapers. Both sides of Haizhu are in areas with dense shops. When the artillery was fired, residents nearby shouted for help, and more than ten pedestrians were unfortunately killed by bombing. In the Dongti area, except for the East Asian hotels, no shop was not damaged.
Take Guanyue Teahouse as an example. The entire house was blown up, killing and injured nearly 30 people. Houses near Guanyin Mountain, Shahe and Dashatou in Henan were also damaged, while houses in eastern Henan were the most damaged. The total loss of houses was estimated to be no less than 5 million yuan during these two bombardments. There is no real statistics on the number of civilian casualties, but according to general estimates, there are more than 100 people.
Both sides fired the True Fire Ye here and bombarded the Presidential Palace, and Sun Yixian was not willing to be outdone. At this point, the situation in the southeast was no longer calm, and there was no room for reversal between Chen and Sun...
