Looking at the location of Gaizhou from a traditional military perspective, it is not only a transportation hub, but also an important pass, and its importance is no less than that of the Jinzhou Isthmus at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.
But the problem is that the Manchu Qing lost the control of the sea very early, so the materials entering and leaving the Liaodong Peninsula can only be transported by land, and Gaizhou has become the only way to go.Haihan also seized this weakness of the Qing Dynasty and directly launched an offensive on the Gaizhou Acropolis in the form of amphibious landing warfare. By occupying this important node, they forced the Qing army south of Gaizhou to voluntarily withdraw from the Liaodong Peninsula.
Although the Manchu Qing also tried to counterattack after losing Gaizhou, and even left a small group of troops to continue fighting guerrillas in the Liaodong Peninsula, but these methods did not achieve the desired effect of the Qing court.
The Haihan army who captured Gaizhou Acropolis did not advance aggressively, and quickly switched from attack to defense, entering the fortress defense mode, which made the Qing army who came to counterattack from other places have to stop outside the city.With more than ten years of combat experience in the Jinzhou Isthmus, the Qing army did not dare to easily launch an offensive against the strong fortifications of the Haihan position.
However, the special geographical environment near the sea to the west of Gaizhou Acropolis allowed the Haihan army to continuously obtain supplies and personnel supplements from the outside world through sea transportation. Click on the purpose of aid.
As for the small group of troops who stayed in the southern part of the peninsula to fight guerrillas, their situation was also very difficult.Due to the continuous harassment of the Haihan army for many years, only a few garrison camps remained in the southern part of the peninsula, and there were almost no villages and towns. This made it difficult for the small Qing army to obtain stable supplies.
However, almost all the material transportation of the Haihan army came by sea, and the Qing army's plan to carry out raids on the supply line basically failed.After being ambushed several times by the Haihan army using the grain transport team as a bait, the guerrilla troops of the Qing army also suffered heavy casualties and were unable to receive assistance from the rear in time. The remaining people had to give up continuing to fight and retreat to the north on their own.
Of course, it seemed easy to listen to Chen Yixin at this time, but the whole battle process was not like that.The Qing army's counterattack against Gaizhou Weicheng lasted for several months. Although there were only two major battles in the middle, there were actually more than [-] battles of all sizes. casualties.
Everyone was very excited when they heard it. Although there were relevant reports in the domestic newspapers at that time about the combat process Chen Yixin talked about, it was probably just a few words. How could he explain it in such detail.
Bai Letong said: "I especially remember that at that time, the newspapers advertised the 'Gaizhou Great Victory', Sanya was full of joy, and the school even had a day off so that we could go to the celebrations in Victory Square. It's just that we were too young at that time to I don’t know where Gaizhou is.”
Ning Zijing also responded: "My father took me to Shengli Harbor to watch the fireworks on the night of the celebration. I asked him where Gaizhou was, and he said it was thousands of miles north of Sanya. It would take more than a month to go by boat. I At that time, I thought, the country is really big, and I probably will not be able to go that far in my life... I never thought that today, I actually came to Gaizhou!"
But the real Acropolis of Gaizhou seems to be only the size of an ordinary county town, not a big city.The city outline has basically been preserved, but the southern urn city that was blasted by the Haihan army has been completely demolished. Only the dilapidated crenels and bomb craters on the top of the city are still reminding people of the fierce battles that took place here.
There are many fishing boats docked on the banks of the Daqing River that goes around the city. According to Liu Shang who accompanied him, this is currently one of the most important industries in Gaizhou.
When Haihan occupied this place, there were hardly many Han people in the city. The people living here are basically from the south after the war, and they mainly make a living from agriculture and fishing.
"The Acropolis of Gaizhou is located on the main road of sea and land transportation. Why doesn't it look very developed? It's just that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are not good at management. Don't we have nothing to do with this place?" After getting off the boat, Ning Zijing saw the local scene and couldn't help asking doubt.
Liu Shang explained: "Mr. Ning doesn't know something. Nowadays, bulk goods are transported by sea, unlike the Ming and Qing Dynasties when they need to pass through Gaizhouwei, so there is not much passenger flow. In addition, the population of Liaodong is relatively small. Many people prefer to settle in big cities or mining areas with higher incomes, and there is no special industry in Gaizhou, so it can’t be said to be developed.”
Ning Zijing nodded slightly, as if he agreed with his statement.
Looking at the areas under the jurisdiction of the Northern Region, most of the more prosperous places have advantageous industries, such as Fushan Copper Mine, Zhaoyuan Gold Mine, Longkou Coal Mine, etc., or have congenital good ports, such as Zhifu Port, Dalian Port, Qingdao port and other places.Such places have more employment opportunities and are more likely to attract people to settle down.
But Gaizhou has no high-yielding characteristic industries, and its location along the coast has no good ports. Now it has lost its role as a land transportation hub, and its development situation is naturally not much better.Fortunately, the water conservancy conditions in the surrounding area of Acropolis of Gaizhou are good, which is suitable for farming and growing food. Immigrants who settle here can be allocated [-] mu of good land according to their households, and they can support a large family by farming.
It's just that there is a lack of agricultural technicians in Liaodong, so Gaizhou has not promoted the planting of cash crops for the time being.
When everyone entered the city, they found that most of the houses in the city were newly built in recent years.Chen Pingliao explained that this was during the attack on the Acropolis. After the city was broken, the defenders set fire to the city to cover their retreat and burned many houses.It was not until later that the immigrants moved in that the ruins in the city were gradually cleaned up and new houses were built.
Like other places that experienced the Great War, there is also a Hall of Martyrs built in the city to commemorate the Haihan soldiers who died here in the "Gaizhou Victory".After everyone entered the city, they first went to the Hall of Martyrs to offer incense.
"In the Battle of Gaizhou, our army killed 280 people, including a captain and deputy battalion commander. Although we achieved a great victory, the sacrifices made by our soldiers for this battle must not be forgotten!"
With a solemn face, Chen Yixin introduced the losses in the Gaizhou Battle to everyone.At this time, everyone knew that the battle against Gaizhou Acropolis was not as easy as Chen Yixin said before, and the Qing army was not a soft guy who would be defeated in one blow. Although the city was lost, it still caused a lot of damage to the Haihan army. loss of personnel.
It's just that the domestic propaganda at that time was biased towards the results of this campaign, and did not specifically report the detailed battle losses of the Haihan Army.If they hadn't come here in person, they probably would never have known that hundreds of Haihan soldiers died here in order to capture this seemingly inconspicuous town.
