Chapter 128: Zhan Tianyou
Wang Wenhua's eyes were on fire at this time. Zunyi had not even defended for a day, so he let the Sichuan army break through. What kind of face does he have to go back to Guiyang to see his uncle Liu Xianshi? And if the Sichuan army takes the lead, he is afraid that the Guizhou Constitutional Party will be destroyed. Therefore, Wang Wenhua also fought his life. While commanding the command to counterattack the gap in the city wall, he deployed street fighting, and wanted to fight the Sichuan army to death.
Liu Xiang had arrived in Zunyi City at this time and commanded his subordinates to expand their results.
"Battery Commander, these Guizhou troops are fighting very tenaciously. If you want to occupy Zunyi, you are afraid of difficulties!"
Liu Xiang looked at the situation on the battlefield and said loudly: "Now we meet on a narrow road. If we don't advance, we will retreat. Let the brothers work harder. As long as we take Zunyi, I will definitely ask everyone for me!" Liu Xiang said a few words of hard work, and then called Liu Qingfu closer.
Liu Qingfu led a team to blew up the city gate and made great contributions to the attack of the Sichuan Army. Liu Xiang knew that if he wanted to break the deadlock at this time, he had to rely on these elite special forces. "Qingfu, I think the Guizhou Army is now all under the pressure of the officers to resist bravely. Can you find ways to shoot a few of the Guizhou Army's officers!"
"Battery Commander, don't worry, I'll do it now!" Liu Qingfu led several team members to sneak into the houses near the city wall, climbed over several houses in a row, and a small temple appeared in front of him. Liu Qingfu climbed to the top of the Main Hall, which was the highest place around, and he was just above the height of the battlefield. He could clearly see the situation on the battlefield.
At this time, the Sichuan Army had been suppressed by the Guizhou Army near the gap in the city wall. If there were no two machine guns to protect the car, they would probably be driven out. The Guizhou Army relied on its number of advantages to continue to press forward. The two armies tug-of-war, and hundreds of people fell near the city wall, and the blood dyed the city bricks red.
At this time, Liu Qingfu happened to see a young Qian army officer waving a sword, running to the front line to supervise the battle, shouting and rushing. He saw that he was a leader. Liu Qingfu quietly aimed the rifle at the officer. The range of the Mauser rifle could reach 800 meters, and the distance between the two people was almost the same number.
Liu Qingfu held the rifle tightly in his hand, as if he was not caring about anything. He was the only one between heaven and earth, with his rifle and prey. In an instant, a gunshot was heard. Wang Wenhua, who was desperately commanding, felt as if his chest was suddenly hit by a fist, his body trembled, and most of his strength disappeared in an instant.
The adjutant beside him was shocked when he saw it. Wang Wenhua was the nephew of Liu Xianshi, the chief of the military and political department. If he was injured, Liu Xianshi would not have cut them off. He hurriedly asked several people to lift Wang Wenhua up and escape backwards. He originally wanted to send him to the military doctor first, but he did not know that when he ran away like this, the people around him thought that Wang Wenhua had died, and immediately lost his combat power and fled in all directions.
The other Yunnan troops were just driving the ducks on the shelves. Now, when they saw that everyone had fled, they suddenly lost their fighting spirit and fled one after another. When Liu Xiang saw this scene, he knew that Zunyi had attacked. He also showed his face and hurriedly commanded the headquarters to chase the Guizhou army.
The so-called defeat is like a mountain falling down, which describes the current Guizhou army. Wang Wenhua's life and death are uncertain, which makes everyone lose their fighting spirit and throw away all their guns and ammunition. They wish they could have three legs and escape from Zunyi. Many of them were captured after a slow leg. They worked all night before Zunyi returned to peace.
"Commander-in-chief, Liu Fucheng fought well, but he didn't expect to take Zunyi so soon!"
"Well, it's really good. It was the third brother who asked him to play the vanguard at the beginning. Now it seems that the third brother's vision is really nothing to say. We will train another powerful player!"
After Wu Tong and Qiao Zhen received Liu Xiang's report, they were also very happy and hurriedly ordered their subordinates to take action quickly and enter Zunyi to rest, and then wait for Yang Xiucheng to come and meet. The two armies will attack Guiyang together and capture Liu Xianshi before the Yunnan Army...
"Mr. Dachao arrived in Chengdu, and the Sichuan railway would have hope!"
The design work of the Sichuan-Han Railway was handed over to Zhan Tianyou, China's most outstanding railway designer. Zhan Tianyou was in his early fifties and worked in the wild all year round. Zhan Tianyou did not have the kind of luxury of the great figures of this era. Instead, he was like an ordinary worker, with short stature and very rough hands.
"Governor Qiao, along the way, Sichuan has been prosperous in trade and trade, and it is not inferior to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The governor is well-managed!"
Qiao Yu took Zhan Tianyou into his guest room and poured a cup of tea for Zhan Tianyou himself: "Mr. Dachao, the Sichuan-Hanzhou Railway is a dream of the Sichuan-Hanzhou people and the most important lifeline for Sichuan's future development. It is of great importance and must be entrusted to the teacher!"
"Governor Qiao is polite. It is also my duty to build the Sichuan-Han Railway to benefit the country and the people. Some time ago, the construction of the roadbed from Yichang to Wanxian was started. However, the road protection movement broke out, and with insufficient funds, I had to give up. If I could rebuild it, it would be a good thing."
According to the plan, the Sichuan-Hanzhou Railway is divided into four sections including Chengdu-Chongqing Line, Chongqing-Wanxian Line, Wanxian to Yichang, Hubei, and then Yichang to Wuhan. Among them, the Yiwan section is the most difficult to construct. It has to pass through the mountains and ridges of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and it is full of difficulties.
In fact, according to common sense, the Chengdu-Chongqing section should be built first. This section is in Sichuan Province, and the terrain is flat and it is more convenient to build. However, the problem is that when the Sichuan-Hankou Railway was originally built, the materials had to be transported from other provinces, so it started with the Yiwan section closest to.
However, Qiao Yu's views on this are different. Even if the materials are imported from other places, the first section of Chengdu and Chongqing should be built first. These are the two largest cities in Sichuan Province. As long as the railway can be built, the flow of material personnel between the two cities will inevitably be closely linked several times. This section alone can generate huge profits. With these profits, it can further promote the final completion of the Sichuan-Han Railway, so that the maximum benefits can be achieved. Even if the section of Wanxian to Yichang is successfully built, it will not have a good economic effect.
Now with the establishment of Chongqing Iron and Steel Plant, and Sichuan now has a batch of cement, bricks, tiles, and timber factories. Most of the raw materials used for railway construction can be produced by themselves, so it has become an inevitable choice to build a section of Chengdu and Chongqing first!
Qiao Yu told Zhan Tianyou that Zhan Tianyou was also very supportive, but there was also a question: "Governor Qiao, Chongqing Iron and Steel Plant is still under construction. Can you provide a suitable rail quickly?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Da Chao, I have asked Zhao Baoxuan, and the planning was assisted by American engineers. The factory was built quickly. The first batch of machines have been shipped from the United States. I believe that the railway tracks can be produced within one year. Of course, it may not be possible to provide a sufficient number of railway tracks for the time being, but don't forget that the Hanyang Iron Factory is still under my control. With these two iron plants, the railway tracks of the Sichuan-Hanzhou Railway are definitely not a problem!"
When it comes to Hanyang Iron Factory, Zhan Tianyou's face seemed very bad: "Governor, it was originally the No. 1 factory in East Asia, but it was almost sold to the Japanese some time ago. It was all up to the governor to handle the situation to ensure the safety of the factory. However, the Japanese have been controlled too much. Many engineers were sent by the Japanese. They not only strictly control us in technology, but also prevent the Hanyang Iron Factory from going on the right path as much as possible. Now they can only become a puppet of Japan's Hachiman Iron Shop. In my opinion, the future of Chinese steel companies is still in Chongqing Iron Factory. The governor must also do a good job in operating!"
