Chapter 1
At the junction of southwestern Jiangxi and western Jiangxi in the northern section of Luoxiao Mountains, there are five famous mountains: Luoshan, Beishan, Jilongshan, Shenghuashan and Yuhuashan.
It is famous not only because of its magnificence and steepness, but also because it is the cradle of bandits.
There are five major bandits here: Wen Chishan, Nie Linhuang, Du Xianzhi, Xiong Hanzhong and Lin Xiner. They each occupy a mountain, show their power, and have their own ruling area.
It was March of that year, a time of lush grass and lush birds. A National Revolutionary Army on the Ganpo Plain was defeated and forced to retreat to the mountains.
As the saying goes, "a defeat is like a mountain collapsing." Due to hunger, fatigue, and fear of death, the military discipline of this unit has reached the brink of collapse.
Captain Tang Tiesuo said to the battalion commander Hua Zhuoran who was lying on a stretcher: "Commander, you should leave the army temporarily! I will send someone to escort you into the city and heal your wounds first."
Hua Zhuoran was injured by a grenade. He was leading his troops to break out when a grenade flew in from nowhere and landed right under his feet. The guard Sun Xibao pushed him while shouting, "Danger!"
Sun Xibao was killed on the spot and Hua Zhuoran was also seriously injured.
Because the situation was so urgent, the subordinates stuffed Hua Zhuoran onto a stretcher, lifted him up and ran out, running out of the encirclement.
But the enemy soldiers caught up with him again. Hua Zhuoran was simply bandaged and carried away again.
After getting rid of the enemy's pursuit, the troops stopped to look and found that only seventy or eighty people were left out of the more than three hundred people.
Hua Zhuoran fainted several times, but with his tenacious perseverance, he finally survived.
Hearing Tang Tiesuo's words at this time, Hua Zhuoran acquiesced.
Tang Tiesuo called the captain of the first company, Qi Shulin, and said to him, "Shulin, take Sun Wangcai and Jia Baoyi to escort Captain Hua into Fucheng and find Manager Ye of Baohetang. He will help you."
Qi Shulin said: "Yes!"
Tang Tiesuo took out a letter and a cloth bag and said, "Give this letter to Manager Ye, and this hundred dollars will be used as Captain Hua's medical expenses. You can come back after you are settled."
"Deputy Battalion Commander, where should we go to find you?" Qi Shulin asked.
"Hexi Town. We will rest there." said Tang Tiesuo.
"Yes!" Qi Shulin replied.
"Be careful along the way. Fucheng is now occupied by the rebels, so you must be extra careful." Tang Tiesuo gave his final instructions.
"Don't worry! We will pay attention." Qi Shulin said firmly.
"Go!" Tang Tiesuo patted Qi Shulin's shoulder.
That night, Qi Shulin, Sun Wangcai, Jia Baoyi and Hua Zhuoran walked towards the county town.
Tang Tiesuo led his troops to retreat deep into the mountains. The troops suffered such a heavy loss that it would be difficult for them to recover in a short time. The rebels would definitely take advantage of the great victory to frantically hunt down the revolutionary army.
So now, the key is to keep this army from collapsing.
This story happened during the Northern Expedition, when the National Revolutionary Army entered Jiangxi. At first, it was smooth, but after entering the Yuanshui River Basin, a unit of the National Revolutionary Army was tempted by the Beiyang warlords and turned against them.
The rebels opened the city gates and let the Beiyang warlords' troops into the city. The National Revolutionary Army was forced to fight back and suffered serious losses.
It is said that this rebel force was a former Beiyang warlord force incorporated in Hunan.
Tang Tiesuo led his troops to retreat all the way to Hexi Town at the foot of Yuhua Mountain.
Hexi Town is the first town entering the northern section of Luoxiao Mountains. It is the upper reaches of Yuanshui River and is under the jurisdiction of Fucheng.
The bandit leader of Yuhua Mountain was called Du Xianzhi, and someone soon reported to him the arrival of troops in Hexi Town.
Hexi Town was under his rule, so why should he give it to these soldiers? Du Xianzhi thought.
Later he found out that this army called the National Revolutionary Army was the one that had just been defeated by the Beiyang government in the county town and was a frightened army.
In addition, the military discipline of this unit was too poor, and the officers could not stop the soldiers from robbing the people's things, and some even raped women. The people hated them to the core.
Tang Tiesuo wanted to improve discipline, he knew that if he didn't, the army would not be able to survive in Hexi Town.
He found the commanders of the second and third companies, Gui Shunxing and Fan Dongsheng, and told them his concerns. The two company commanders openly supported the battalion commander, but secretly were unwilling to do so.
Tang Tiesuo realized that it was impossible to stop his subordinates from doing evil. At this time, he regretted sending a company commander to see Hua Zhuoran off.
The captain of the first company, Qi Shulin, was his brother. If he had been there, the captains of the second and third companies would not be in the situation they are now. Fortunately, there are still more than 30 brothers in the first company. I don't know if I can manage them.
So he sent his confidant to call the deputy company commander of the first company, Gao Xiangyao, to see if there was any room for turning the situation around.
Deputy Company Commander Gao Xiangyao came and expressed his support for the battalion commander. He said that the people in the company did not participate in the robbery! As everyone knows, for a unit, robbery is suicide.
In order to save the army, Tang Tiesuo wanted to make a final effort to persuade the second and third company commanders to stop their misbehavior.
At this moment, Gao Xiangyao, the deputy commander of the first company, came to report that the commanders of the second and third companies had just come to him and asked us to unite and attack you, so run away!
Tang Tiesuo didn't want the first company to fall into an irretrievable situation, so he wanted to take the first company away with him. Gao Xiangyao thought about it for a moment and agreed.
So Tang Tiesuo and Gao Xiangyao quietly took their company and left Hexi Town overnight.
On this night, Du Xianzhi's bandits descended from Yuhua Mountain, and the people who led them were actually the common people of Hexi Town.
The common people all knew where the outsiders lived, so the bandits surrounded Gui Shunxing and Fan Dongsheng without any effort.
The sentry spotted the bandits and raised the alarm, and a fight broke out between the two sides.
Bandits were bandits after all, and although they were numerous, they were a mob. Gui Shunxing and Fan Dongsheng were experienced in battle, and after fighting for an hour, they actually gained the upper hand.
When Du Xianzhi saw that he could not win, he immediately withdrew his troops. He wanted to join forces with his sworn brother, Xiong Hanzhong from Shenghua Mountain, to deal with this group of outsiders.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
① Waijianglao: a derogatory term used by bandits to refer to outsiders.
This has caused great suffering to the common people. These outsiders think: You dare to collude with bandits to attack us? I am sorry! If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
Gui Shunxing and Fan Dongsheng encouraged the troops to go all out, first exterminate the common people of Hexi Town, then attack Yuhua Mountain and rule the mountain as their own.
Although Hexi Town was not big, there were still hundreds of people there. Gui Shunxing and Fan Dongsheng drove these people to the edge of Yuanshui River.
Gui Shunxing said, "My fellow men, we didn't mean to hurt you. We went north to fight the Beiyang Army, and you should have rewarded us. We took some of your things and slept with some of your women, but you actually reported them to the bandits and brought them to fight us. You are bandits! This town is a den of bandits! Since you are bandits, you can't blame us! Hahahaha!"
Gui Shunxing slashed his hands and shouted, "Kill!" Immediately, machine guns and rifles started firing. They kept killing for an hour, and about a hundred people were killed. Blood flowed on the riverbank and into the river, turning half of the river into a bloody river.
