Chapter 18 Independence Day
July 10, night.
The forwards of the Qing army have arrived, but they did not launch an attack immediately. Opposite them were 20,000 civilian troops ready to attack!
Both sides are waiting!
The Qing army is waiting for the arrival of the main force, and the civilian army is waiting for the order to be issued in Rong County!
War is about to break out!
There was a tense atmosphere in the military camp, and the officers and soldiers were armed with live ammunition!
Everyone, stand at attention!
When Wang Hengyue, deputy commander-in-chief of the Rong County Uprising and commander-in-chief of the Chinese Revolutionary Comrade Army, walked in, Ma Xiao shouted loudly. All the officers straightened their backs.
Report to Hengshuai that our teams are fully armed! The forwards of the Qing army have reached the outskirts of Rong County, and there has been no conflict yet!
Order! With Wang Hengyue's voice, the officer straightened his chest again.
Wang Hengyue's eyes swept over the officers: Order, the team is renamed the company, the team officer is called the company commander; the shed is renamed the squad, and the shed is renamed the squad leader!
yes!
Brothers, although we are known as the Chinese Army, in fact, we do not even have the strength of a standard, no, a regiment. We all know this in our hearts. Commander-in-Chief, I am at most a regiment commander! From now on, each company
, platoon, squad leader, automatically promoted to one level. The Handgun Brigade was renamed the Handgun Battalion, and the Pipe Guard was renamed the Guard Battalion!
yes!
Wang Hengyue was silent for a moment: The Qing army has arrived at the city, and we have an arrow in the bow and have to shoot! If we succeed, we will be the heroes of the revolution; if we fail, our heads will fall! Tomorrow is July 11th in the Gregorian calendar, and that day will be
Independence Day! Rong County is independent, revolution is the first righteousness, long live independence!
Rong County is independent, the revolution is the first righteousness, long live independence! The officers shouted in a low voice.
The independence of Rong County is the first revolutionary movement. Long live independence!
Gradually, the calls spread from inside the headquarters to outside the headquarters. The soldiers’ calls came one after another!
Wang Hengyue led his brothers out. Outside, there were already densely packed soldiers.
Do you still have braids? This was the first thing Wang Hengyue said.
The sound of bayonets was brushing, brushing, brushing, and in an instant, the ground was covered with braids!
This tail has brought us too much shame! Wang Hengyue picked up a braid from the ground, took a look at it, smiled contemptuously, and then threw it out like a broken sack:
Now, I will take you to cut off your pigtails, and then I will cut off the lives of the Manchus! I don’t know how many of you will survive, but every one of you will be remembered in history! Rong County
It will also be remembered by history! Independence Day will be remembered by history! Those who are alive are revolutionary heroes! Those who are dead are revolutionary martyrs! Follow me and rebel!
Rebellion! Rebellion! The voices of the brothers resounded overwhelmingly again, and the voices shook the heaven and the earth!
Wang Hengyue put his hand on the command knife, and then pulled it out little by little, with the tip of the knife pointing forward:
The independence of Rong County, the first cause of revolution, Independence Day, long live!
Long live! Long live!! Long live!!!
This is the night of July 10, 1911 AD.
This night will become the beginning of the Great Revolution and the beginning of a great era!
This night, history also recorded a name:
Wang Hengyue!
July 11, 1911 AD, Rong County.
Wang Hengyue put on his military uniform carefully and took a look in front of the mirror. Ma Yunxin and Xing Meizi helped him arrange it carefully, and then tied the command knife carefully.
I'm sorry, Yun Xin. Wang Hengyue turned around and glanced at his wife: Ma Junmen has always been loyal to the court, but my grandson-in-law has become a rebel. But don't worry, I have arranged for someone to pick you up in Chengdu.
Family, including Brother Qin’s family.
Ma Yunxin smiled faintly: I am a womanly person and I don’t understand any big principles. But if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. If you marry a rebel, then I will be the wife of a rebel. If your husband loses his head, it will be the same as being a hall guest.
Heads fell to the ground.
Okay, okay, Wang Hengyue got a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for! Wang Hengyue laughed.
Xingmeizi turned around and quietly wiped her tears.
If you rebel, you will be executed. Can you survive this test? The independence of Rong County will surely shake the entire Qing Dynasty and the entire land of China! A vigorous independence movement kicked off in Rong County!
The fall of the Manchu dynasty also began from this moment!
Wang Hengyue pulled out his command sword, pointing the tip forward just like he did in front of the soldiers last night:
The independence of Rong County, the first cause of revolution, Independence Day, long live!
Long live Independence Day! Long live!! Long live!!!
The roar of the mountain and the tsunami drowned the entire audience, and the cheers of the people in the sky resounded throughout the earth!
At this time, the crowd was divided, and Zhou Dagen, accompanied by several people, came to Wang Hengyue with a rolled flag in his hands:
Commander-in-Chief, I am a disabled man and can no longer fight on the battlefield, but I will always be with the Commander-in-Chief! My neighbors and I spent a night making a military flag and asked the Commander-in-Chief to accept it!
Wang Hengyue solemnly took over the flag, asked someone to bring the flagpole, install it, and then shook it open with a strong force. The big flag fluttered in the wind with seven characters written on it:
Chinese Revolutionary Comrade Army!
Wang Hengyue held this big flag tightly in his hand: Long live the Chinese Army!
Long live the Chinese Army!
Cheers sounded again!
At this time, the rumbling sound of cannons came, and a civilian army commander hurried over:
Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and Commander-in-Chief that the Qing army brigade has arrived and started shelling the front lines of our people's army!
Long Mingjian turned around and faced Wang Hengyue: Commander-in-Chief, please give me an order!
Wang Hengyue is not polite: Wang Tianjie, the former enemy commander-in-chief!
arrive!
Strictly guard the position, do not allow the Qing army to move forward, and wait to attack! I will hit the Chinese artillery and give you artillery cover!
Yes! Wang Tianjie is determined to sacrifice his life to become a benevolent man. I will live for the revolutionary life and I will die for the revolutionary life!
Saying that, he took a rifle:
People's Army, follow me!
The sound of cannons became increasingly clear. On this day, Rong County became independent; on this same day, the most cruel and difficult test for Rong County began!
On July 11, 1911, Rong County became independent, taking the lead in the national independence of Sichuan!
On July 11, 1911, Wang Hengyue, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Revolutionary Comrade Army in Rong County, was about to face the most difficult and serious challenge in this era!
Chapter completed!
