"Ready, prepare for battle!" Wang Zhaoqi, the acting division commander, looked at the endless torches in the distance, his voice was trembling, and he shouted: "Quick, quick, prepare for battle!" He knew that his troops were finished, and he would soon be attacked by the enemy. , and there was no hope, but he had to organize a resistance in order to buy himself time to escape.

When there was a panic on the battlefield, several sharp gunshots rang out. It was the scouts of the national army and the Sichuan army who caught fire.The sound of gunfire was an alarm, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of torches in the distance disappeared, leaving only the boundless darkness and sporadic gunfire.

The 22nd Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army was the vanguard of the Eighth Division and the first unit to encounter the Sichuan Army.It is the special agent company of the 22nd regiment that is now exchanging fire with the Sichuan army.The head of this regiment, Guan Linzheng, is a graduate of Whampoa's first class. Because of his excellent performance in last year's war and his good name (Luo Yaoguo had heard of it in his previous life), he is now the head of the regiment.

"All spread out into a battle formation." Guan Linzheng jumped off his horse and shouted at the marching team: "The first battalion occupies the high ground on the left, the second battalion occupies the high ground on the right, and the third battalion is ready for battle. Set up positions on the high ground on the left and prepare for shelling."

After hastily setting up the task, he shouted to a communication staff officer behind him: "Go and inform the division commander, tell him that we are in contact with the Sichuan Army, the enemy's situation is unknown, and our regiment is going to conduct a round of fire reconnaissance."

Guan Linzheng's current arrangement is based on the standard actions in the textbooks of the Whampoa Military Academy. When encountering the enemy at night, he first seizes the favorable terrain, deploys the troops, and then conducts a round of feint attacks under the cover of mortars to try to determine the strength of the opponent.The entire deployment was completed within 10 minutes. The two battalions occupied the high ground on both sides, and the third battalion was also ready for battle under the command of battalion commander Zhang Yaoming.Under the command of Feng Erjun, who graduated from the Second Artillery Department, the mortar company was launched on the high ground on the left, and at the same time, it was ready for shelling.

Following Guan Linzheng's order, the twelve mortars started a round of fierce bombardment in the direction of the exchange of fire between the spy company and the enemy. Dozens of shells were quickly projected onto the Sichuan army's position. The sound turned into balls of fireballs.Zhang Yaoming yelled "Charge" and jumped up, holding a Min 13 submachine gun, leading hundreds of his subordinates to the enemy's position under the cover of night.A battalion charged a division in the dark!

Before rushing out a few steps, there were dozens of machine guns on the Sichuan army's position that were unclear about their direction and began to shoot out tongues of flame.The quality of this division is obviously not comparable to that of Wang Laoluan's first division. Knowing that the enemy has mortars and firing randomly, isn't this exposing the target yourself?These self-exposed firepower points naturally attracted the bombardment of mortars very quickly, and soon round after round of shelling hit the Sixth Sichuan Division's position.The 22rd Battalion of the [-]nd Regiment, which rushed up sullenly following the impact of the mortar shells, managed to break into the Sichuan Army's position amidst the ear-piercing screams of submachine gun fire. There were gunshots, explosions, shouts and heart-piercing screams. The sounds are mixed together, playing the most terrifying movement in the world.

Guessing that the opponent was not strong enough, Guan Linzheng stopped probing, and waved his hand to order: "Leave a company from the first battalion and the second battalion to stick to the high ground. The others are ready to charge, and the artillery company can shoot freely." After finishing speaking, he also picked up a With a submachine gun, he followed the first battalion to the high ground, joined the second battalion who came down from the other side of the high ground, personally led them to launch the second wave of charge, and plunged in along the opening opened by Zhang Yaoming.

At this time, the Eighth Division of the Sichuan Army had actually begun to collapse. Since it already knew that the main force had been defeated, this division, which was already low in morale, completely lost its struggle when it was just attacked.In particular, the acting division commander Wang Zhaoqi quietly changed into plain clothes and disappeared into the night after hastily deployed the resistance. Immediately afterwards, the division staff who discovered the division commander's escape began to flee one after another, and then the two brigade commanders and six regimental commanders also sought their own way out. went.In the end, the disorganized troops collapsed instantly under the rush of Guan Linzheng's regiment, and the stragglers fled in all directions, and the entire division fell apart in the night.

Chapter 0186 Youth Army's First Formation

In the night of Dazu County, there is a big house that is brightly lit all night. This is Yang Sen's former enemy headquarters, and no one is destined to sleep here tonight.Yang Sen's command room is now gloomy. Yang Huishuai, who was once full of ambition, and his military adviser Huang Yucheng sat face to face.They now know the bad news about Wusheng's front line, and they have received the last telegram sent by Yuan Baoer before the headquarters of the Sichuan Second Division was captured by the national army.

After a long time, Huang Yucheng sighed: "Hui Shuai, it's time for us to think about retreating."

"Retreat?" Yang Sen raised his head, looked at his think tank, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Mr. Fei, what is the way out now? When all the brothers in the Sichuan Army get the news, let's just wait for the rebellion." !" How could Yang Sen not know the rules of Chuanzhong these years?As soon as the news of Wu Sheng's defeat spread, everyone must be scrambling to defect.

"No, we still have a way!" Huang Yucheng looked at Yang Sen, his eyes flickering behind the lens, and he slowly said his plan: "The 36 plan is the best!"

"Let's go?" Yang Sen was taken aback. He originally wanted to go to the field to retreat. The rules of the warlords in the Sichuan Army do not embarrass those who go to the field. Presumably the Kuomintang will not embarrass him.

"Yes! Let's go out of Sichuan, this is the only way to preserve our strength right now." Huang Yucheng turned his head and looked at the north outside the window: "Let's go to the north and join Yushuai. As long as you have an army in your hand, you can eat hot food wherever you go Yes, if there is no team, then I really can only go home and eat myself."

Yang Sen's eyes dimmed suddenly. After leaving the field, most of his troops would be reorganized and demobilized by the Kuomintang. It is indeed a question mark how many people will be left and how many people will obey his orders.But is going out of Sichuan the way to survive?Can Wu Ziyu take him in?How many soldiers can he support in Henan alone?Besides, can I still go now?

Without waiting for Yang Sen to speak, Huang Yucheng smiled sadly, and said again: "Hui Shuai, we must hide the news about Wu Sheng now, it is best to send a telegram to Liu Cunhou and Sun Zhen, tell them that we won the battle in Wu Sheng, let them Advance quickly and attack the Kuomintang together. This way we have the opportunity to collect the second and third routes, then go to Zigong to raise some travel expenses, and then dismiss the old and weak, and then go north to Guangyuan to Hanzhong. Now Wu Xintian is fighting with Yang Huchen in Hanzhong. We might have a chance to fish in troubled waters."

Yang Sen's eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped the table, and shouted: "Good plan! Let Sun Decao and Liu Zhongshan (Liu Cunhou) restrain Luo Yaoguo for us. Let's go to Hanzhong to fish, hehe, maybe this is a comeback Chance."

……

Naturally, Sun Zhen would not believe Yang Sen's telegram of Wu Sheng's great victory.On the one hand, he had already secretly defected to the Kuomintang and had first-hand information about his camp in Chongqing. On the other hand, his fourth road was quite close to the battlefield of Wusheng, and he had been reported to him about Wusheng's situation by a secret agent.But Liu Cunhou, another old-fashioned warlord who was a little slow to respond, who was said to have a "six-inch thick" skin, was not so well-informed.

At this time, Liu Cunhou was commanding the fifth "rebel army" and had just entered Dazhu County without a fight. After searching the city, he received a telegram of Wu Sheng's victory.He didn't doubt it, and immediately ordered five miscellaneous brigades assigned to him to attack Linshui.He himself is in command of Dazu.

These five brigades are He Guanglie's 80th Brigade of the Sichuan Army, and the brigade commander is Qin Hansan.The 82nd Brigade of Liu Bin's Sichuan Army is headed by Xia Shouxun.Luo Zezhou's 85th Brigade, headed by Luo Zechuan.Chen Hongfan's 88th Brigade, the brigade commander is named Xie Mian.Chen Guodong's 91st Brigade, brigade commander Zhu Shouxi.The five brigade commanders all have similar qualifications, so there is no commander-in-chief, and the five brigades send troops separately.Chen Hongfan's 88th Brigade took the lead, Liu Bin's 82nd Brigade was the second, and He Guanglie's 80th Brigade was the third. After all, Luo Zezhou and Chen Guodong's forces were strong, so their troops were able to hold back the formation.

The soldiers of the fifth brigade sent to the expedition had no choice but to bite the bullet and form a team. More than 1 people marched southward along the mountain road from Dazhu to Linshui.But in front of the army were actually two little Taoist priests holding a compass to look at the direction!Uh, they are the apprentices of Li Shenxian, an old-fashioned Taoist who Chen Hongfan has always believed in, who claims to be the great-great-grandson of the Taishang Laojun. It's very respectful.This time Chen Hongfan sent the 88th Brigade to join the battle. He felt that it was not very safe, so he specially invited the disciples of the gods to go with him. He thought that with the help of the gods, he would not be afraid of those rebels.

The road from Dazhu to Linshui is sandwiched between Tongluo Mountain and Huaying Mountain. There are high mountains and dense forests on both sides of the road. It looks like a good terrain for ambushes. I don’t know how powerful the gods are?Can you gain insight into the opportunities and smash the conspiracy of the Kuomintang?

The long march marched slowly along the winding mountain road, and the team of more than 88 people from the 2000th Brigade of the Sichuan Army, which was at the forefront of the team, stretched for a full kilometer.The brigade commander Xie Mian was obese and couldn't ride a horse, so a few soldiers carried him steadily on a sliding pole, which was very leisurely.

Looking at the high mountains and dense forests on both sides, Brigadier Xie never let go of his brows. This kind of terrain is an excellent position for ambushes. Liu Cunhou ordered his brigade to take the lead and made it clear that he was the one to scout the way. This was bullying them. His master, Liu Bin, has few soldiers.Alas, it seems that I really have no future following such a boss.

"Order brothers to be vigilant and be careful of the enemy's ambush." ​​Xie Mian didn't know how many times he said this sentence. He looked at the chief of staff beside him, as if he wanted to say something more.Suddenly a burst of flames burst from all sides, followed by a deafening bang!Ambush, his army was finally ambushed, this was Xie Mian's last consciousness.

At this time, there was already a lot of gunfire on both sides of the mountain road. Dozens of machine guns were mounted to high places, and bullets flew from all directions like a rainstorm, and immediately cut down a large area of ​​panicked Sichuan army officers and soldiers like wheat. 24 mortars were also set up on the commanding heights of the mountain. The well-trained artillerymen of the mixed first brigade of the national army continuously poured shells into the middle of the Sichuan army line. Countless fragments swept past over and over again.

Wang Zixing, who stood at a high place overlooking the entire battlefield, finally showed a smug smile on his face. The 10 months of devil training and repeated planning these days finally paid off today, and his sharp sword was finally out of its sheath!

"Order, all assault!" Seeing that the time was right, Wang Zixing issued the assault order without hesitation.As he swung his arm heavily, thousands of independent brigade infantrymen with 38-type rifles with long bayonets emerged from the mountains and forests on both sides, shouting and charging bravely.Like a tiger, it pounced on the panicked enemy army down the mountain.

"Hold it! Hold it up! Reinforcements will arrive soon!" Gao Xiang, chief of staff of the 88th Brigade of the Sichuan Army who survived the previous shelling, yelled in despair. Will reinforcements really come?Will those troops who are far behind the 88th Brigade come to their rescue?The answer is self-evident.Warlords, who doesn't say that they are living their lives with the wishful thinking of consuming me so strong?Now that the Sichuan army has "successfully decided", the leaders of the various armies naturally have to focus on the distribution of benefits after the war. Of course, maintaining strength is the first priority at the moment.

The sporadic random guns were the only resistance for the infantrymen of the national army who came shouting. Chen Hongfan had never had any ambitions, and he was a true self-defense thief.Therefore, his army is also neglected in training, let alone has little actual combat experience.Facing the surging enemies, he couldn't raise any will to resist at all, so he fired a few shots casually and fled in all directions.

Chapter 0187

The Wang Zixing Independent Brigade, which defeated the 88th Brigade of the Sichuan Army, did not stop, but drove the defeated Sichuan Army directly to the 88nd Brigade of the Sichuan Army, which was immediately behind the 82th Brigade.Xia Shouxun's 82nd Brigade is the army of Liu Bin of the Sichuan Army. Like Chen Hongfan, Liu Bin is a standard housekeeper, and his troops have been out of battle for a long time and lack of training.Seeing that the former army was ambushed and wiped out was frightening, so there was no fighting spirit.The brigade commander Xia Shouxun also panicked. He saw that the 88th Brigade was neither stepping forward to reinforce nor deploying troops to prepare for the battle. Instead, he turned around and ran away with the 82nd Brigade. The 80th brigade was twisted together.As a result, the 88th Brigade, which was defeated by the two brigades, also collapsed together. Thousands of defeated soldiers rushed towards the 85th and 91st Brigades of the Sichuan Army like a landslide. The 85th Brigade and the 91st Brigade had some fighting strength, but they didn't dare to fight at all under such circumstances. They hurriedly left their luggage and the whole team fled lightly, and rushed all the way back to Dazhu County, finally keeping the troops.As for the other three brigades, the 88th brigade was completely wiped out, and more than half of the 82nd and 80th brigades suffered heavy losses and lost their combat effectiveness.

In this battle, Wang Zixing's independent brigade ambushed more than 3000 enemy weak brigades with 68 people, easily won, killed, wounded and captured more than 75 enemies, and seized countless weapons and ammunition.I only paid a small price of [-] people killed and [-] people injured, which can be described as a complete victory.

……

At noon on June 1926, 6, Jiulong Town, the county seat of Yuechi County, Sichuan Province.

This rice town in eastern Sichuan, known as "Golden Guang'an, Yinyuechi", is currently stationed with soldiers from four divisions at the same time. There are Sichuan Army soldiers with rifles inside and outside Kowloon Town.They are the troops of the fourth route of the Sichuan Army against the Rebel Army under the command of Sun Zhen.It is composed of the division of Sun Zhen, Wang Mingzhang, Li Jiajuan and Huang Yin. These four are warlords affiliated to Tian Songyao and Deng Xihou respectively. Sichuan Baoding Department.Therefore, the relationship between the Tian and Deng armies has always been relatively harmonious. At this time, the generals of the four divisions are gathering in the county government in Jiulong Town, discussing the major issues of where to go.

The Sichuan Army has the rules of the Sichuan Army. There is no fixed formula for personnel relations here. It all depends on the needs of interests. One day is a friendly army, and tomorrow may be an enemy.Therefore, what the heroes of the Sichuan Army most admire is the life philosophy of "beating tofu with a knife to show both sides".Therefore, Sun Zhen did not follow the advice of his so-called "niece-in-law" female spy Cen Biqing, and arranged such things as grand banquets and knives.Instead, they held a banquet in the county government politely, and invited Li Jiajuan and Huang Yin, two teachers, to discuss major issues.

The banquet was sumptuous, and the table was full of delicacies and fine wines. There were six people attending the banquet, namely Sun Zhen, Wang Mingzhang, Li Jiajue, Huang Yin, Sun Yuanliang and Cen Biqing.The thing to talk about today is defection, and this matter can be discussed in Sichuan.

"Jin Guang'an, Yinyue Pond really deserves the name. In this turbulent world, we can still host such a banquet." Li Jiajue, who was short and known as "Short Li", looked at the table of delicacies with deep emotion.

Sun Zhen smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid this chaotic world will come to an end. I wonder if Brother Qixiang (Li Jiajue) would like to enjoy a peaceful life for a few years?"

Li Jiajue and Huang Yin were both shocked when they heard the words. They have now learned about the current situation through Deng Xihou. Right now, the First Route Army has been wiped out in Wusheng. The war is in danger, and Sun Zhen actually said "enjoy peace in peace". Could it be that he has already found a way to surrender to the Kuomintang?

Wang Mingzhang also laughed, as if he was having some fun. He pointed to Sun Yuanliang and Cen Biqing who were sitting next to Sun Zhen, and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you to Brother Xiang and Brother Yimin. This is General Sun Decao's nephew and Nephew and daughter-in-law, both of them are members of the Kuomintang, and they both work in the Chongqing camp."

"What!" Huang Yin slapped the table, stood up and shouted: "Sun Decao, what do you mean? Could it be that you have defected to the right wing of the Kuomintang and want to use us to show merit?"

"The rightist of the Kuomintang?" Li Jiajuan found the term new. He gave Huang Yin a hand, and said with a smile, "Brother De Cao is not that kind of person. Let's just listen to what they say? What are the conditions?"

Sun Zhen laughed, raised his wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I, Sun Zhen, won't speak ill of you in front of two wise people. The KMT's condition is 20 French currency plus a division-level official position. The troops have to be organized as appropriate, and they are dissatisfied with the two. After the Kuomintang takes Sichuan this time, the Sichuan Army will be reduced to four to five divisions. Zhizhong (Wang Mingzhang) and I have already appointed two division commanders. I don’t know if the two are interested. ?”

Huang Yin took a peek at Li Jiajuan beside him, seeing his face beaming with joy, he couldn't help trembling, and hurriedly said: "Huh! The division commanders of the Kuomintang have no power or money, they are purely clerks of their Military Commission, and Brother Decao just took This kind of short-sighted teacher came to deceive us?"

"Their teacher seems to have an income of 8000 to [-] yuan a year, right?" Li Jiajue glanced at Huang Yin, and said with a smile, "Brother Yimin, did he get a good way out from Duke Jin? Why don't you tell me about it and let everyone refer to it?" Compare and compare." He is different from Huang Yin, Huang is the direct descendant of Deng Xihou, and he is a confidant. He, Li Jiajue, is just a small warlord attached to Deng Xihou. He has territories in several counties, and he has to support a division. Life is actually very tight. .

Huang Yin knew it was time for a showdown, he looked at the crowd, and sighed softly: "We are all people who are used to the overlord of one side, who can bear it if we really want to go to the KMT's side to be under the fence? What is a division officer? At that time, I will be dismissed casually by a high-ranking councilor. Even if I continue to be a teacher, without financial and personnel rights, isn’t this teacher a man who wants to masturbate? Don’t hide it from a few brothers, in fact Jin Gong These days, we are also planning to retreat, and Duke Jin's route can help us keep our territory and our army!"

"Hehe, what are you kidding?" Sun Yuanliang laughed, and interjected: "Yi Gong (Huang Yin) doesn't even look at the army of the national army right in front of him. Wang Yanxu's first road has been wiped out. Even if Deng Jingong is able to recover Could it be possible that the wonderful method can make the brigade of our national army cease fire and let you walk?"

"Of course." Huang Yin looked at Sun Yuanliang with a sneer, and said to himself, you hairless little doll, how could you be our Duke Jin's opponent in terms of scheming?Isn't it the KMT?He took out from his pocket a prepared telegram and a few blank Kuomintang party cards and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "This is a party card issued by General Yang Huchen. You just need to fill in your name to be a member of the Kuomintang, and then Send another telegram to change flags, our army will naturally be the Kuomintang army, does he, Luo Yaoguo, dare to touch a single hair of our hair? Shouldn't we just let us go?"

Li Jiajue took a look at a party card issued by the Hanzhong Road Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang, and asked Sun Yuanliang with a smile: "Little brother, do you think this is okay?"

Ok?Sun Yuanliang didn't know either.He didn't expect the other party to have such skill, but one thing is certain, as long as the power is sent, Luo Yaoguo will not be able to use force against them without authorization. He must ask the Central Committee of the Kuomintang for instructions.For a while, Sun Yuanliang was stumped by Huang Yin.

Seeing that his nephew was surrounded by Huang Yin, Sun Zhen calmly grabbed a party card and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Jin Gong is actually at a disadvantage now, he wants to hang the Kuomintang flag To fight against the KMT, it would be okay if Prime Minister Sun was gone, but now, after all, he is still alive! In front of his old man, is it easy to talk to the old man from the Luo family and the old brothers from Guangdong, or the face of Yang Huchen and Deng Jinkang? And Huchen The general doesn't want to get involved in Sichuan, he can't even beat Hanzhong with his strength, and now he probably wants to recruit Duke Jin to help fight Hanzhong. If his brother is going to go out of Sichuan and go to Hanzhong, I, Sun Zhen, will naturally report to General Ming Fuwen , let you and brother Yimin's team walk."

Sun Zhen's words turned whether he could keep the army into whether he wanted to leave Sichuan and fight Yang Huchen.Moreover, Huang Yin has no way to refute, because Deng Xihou plans to use the banner of "aiding the Shaanxi Army" to stay in Sichuan and deal with the rightists of the Kuomintang.Hehe, the old man can't say that he wants to be divided by warlords, can he?So Sun Yat-sen still doesn't order the crusade?You, the talisman of the Kuomintang, will not work well in front of Sun Yat-sen.

Sure enough, Li Jiajuan was persuaded by Sun Zhen's words, instead of going to that poor place in Hanzhong to live on Yang Huchen's charity, it would be better to stay in Sichuan and seek refuge in Luo Yaoguo.Thinking of this, he stood up, picked up the wine glass, and smiled at Sun Zhen: "Little brother borrowed flowers to offer a glass of Buddha and respect to brother, thank you for your kind words. From now on, little brother will advance and retreat with brother, please let me know what to do next." Brother, make up your mind."

"Brother Xiang understands righteousness deeply, and I really admire it. From now on, we will be comrades in the national army, and we should take care of each other." Sun Zhen and Li Jiajuan drank a drink, looked at Huang Yin cheerfully, and said with a smile: "Brother Yimin Where do we go?"
