Cai Wenna's face turned pale with fright.

"Pfft!" Yang Mei couldn't help laughing beside her.

"I'm just kidding!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "We have a mission and purpose in Chongqing, and we just help you along the way!"

Chiang Kai-shek ordered Jiang Weiguo to lead the 918th regiment into Sichuan out of multiple considerations.

If you want to subdue the warlords in Sichuan Province, using force to solve the problem is the worst strategy. It is exhausting, time-consuming and labor-intensive. The best way is to test first.

The entry of the Central Army into Sichuan Province is a very sensitive matter for the warlords in Sichuan Province. However, Jiang Weiguo’s 918th Regiment is a regiment in name, not a brigade, a division, or an army. Chiang Kai-shek sent a mere regiment Entering Chongqing, the fringe area of ​​Sichuan Province, the means are "relatively mild" and will not be too irritating to the warlords in Sichuan Province. However, Jiang Weiguo's regiment "seriously exceeded the standard". Baozi beats the dog.

At 918 o'clock in the evening, the fleet carrying more than 5000 officers and soldiers of the 50th Regiment arrived at Yuzui Town, Jiangbei Bank, more than 918 kilometers away from the urban area of ​​Chongqing City (the 14000th Regiment actually had more than 128 people, and the 16000th Regiment actually had more than 918 people. Invisible Infantry Battalion", the 7000th Regiment still has more than 128 people, and the 8000th Regiment has more than 918 people. However, when the 5000th Regiment came to Chongqing, it did not bring all the tanks, leaving around a thousand people, and there are still snipers in training. So there were more than [-] officers and soldiers coming to Chongqing at this time).

When the troops disembarked from the ship, Jiang Weiguo received a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, who was already in Xi'an at this time.

On this afternoon, because of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's "ineffectiveness in suppressing bandits", Chiang Kai-shek took the train from Luoyang to Xi'an and stayed at Huaqing Pool in Lintong.

Because of impatience, rashness, and overconfidence, Chiang Kai-shek only brought a guard and a large number of high-level military and political officials, and went to Xi'an without an army.

After receiving this telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, Jiang Weiguo's heart sank suddenly. He knew that the Xi'an Incident would break out in eight days.

what to do?what to do?put one's oar in?Or not to interfere?Jiang Weiguo's thoughts were surging and his heart was in a mess. After all, time was running out.

"Jianhao!" Du Yuming strode over, "What should we do now? Shall we... set up camp on the spot for the night, or go directly to Chongqing overnight? Oh, I have already sent a telegram to the mayor of Chongqing, General Li Hongkun, to tell him in advance , we were stationed in Chongqing on the order of the Chairman!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled wryly and said: "Brother Guangting, you are the regiment seat. I am only the battalion commander of the first battalion. You are the one who should make the decision!"

Du Yuming smiled and said nothing, but thought to himself: "Nonsense! Who doesn't know that you are the real master of these two regiments?"

"Soldiers are expensive!" Sun Liren walked over and said, "It's only [-] kilometers, and there are roads, and it's not a war, and the troops also have a lot of cars. It doesn't take long for a quick march.

I believe that those big and small local snakes in Sichuan Province already know that we are coming to Chongqing. If we don’t rush in and get a firm foothold, don’t we wait for them to close their doors and thank them?At that time, we will be blocked outside the gate of Chongqing and unable to enter, let alone the task of the chairman of the committee, our regiment will lose all face!"

"Brother Fumin is right!" Du Yuming agreed, and then looked to Jiang Weiguo "for advice", "What do you think, Jianhao?"

Jiang Weiguo said helplessly: "Let's go! Let's go! Remember not to disturb the people!"

With the lights like stars and the sound of cars like thunder, more than 5000 officers and soldiers of the whole regiment drove towards the urban area of ​​Chongqing along the Jiangbei Bank Road, flying sand and rocks.

090 Mountain City

Li Hongkun was in a complete panic. Although he was a lieutenant general, he was a mayor and had no military or real power.

Li Hongkun was a loser who was "eliminated" in the Sichuan Civil War, so when he became the nominal mayor of Chongqing, the warlords in Sichuan Province made him the mayor. Let him be the "gatekeeper" of Sichuan Province. In case of any situation, he will be the first to die, or he will be the first to be thrown out as a scapegoat for the dead.

Right now, Li Hongkun couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly. He really felt that Jiang Weiguo, the second son of Jiang who went to Chongqing for a "private visit" a few days ago, was an out-and-out little plague god. He first "abducted" Yang Sen's favorite aunt Jiu Too, for this reason, Yang Sen has already scolded him bloody, and claimed that "sooner or later, he will show him a good look." Then, this Jiang Weiguo returned to Chongqing with thousands of troops in open fire. The precursor of the Sichuan army completely tearing its face apart.

Li Hongkun became a mouse in the bellows.

Li Hongkun has an army in his hands, the Chongqing Municipal Security Corps, with more than 2000 recruits. Most of the members are local hooligans, hooligans, poorly equipped, and out-and-out mobs.

It stands to reason that Li Hongkun should carry out the order of Liu Xiang, the "King of Sichuan" at this time, to prevent Jiang Weiguo from entering the city, and Liu Xiang and other senior Sichuan Army officials have also sent telegrams, claiming that reinforcements from all walks of life will arrive soon, but Li Hongkun did not expect Jiang Weiguo to come so quickly. The stars and the moon arrived, which caught him off guard.

Li Hongkun now has two choices, one is to be loyal to Liu Xiang and prevent Jiang Weiguo from entering the city, and the other is to "follow the righteousness" and join the central government to warmly "welcome" Jiang Weiguo to enter the city.

Li Hongkun decided to choose the second option after only thinking for a minute, because he couldn't stop Jiang Weiguo at all.

"Second son, why did you come overnight? It was so sudden that my colleagues and I didn't have time to organize a welcome ceremony!" Li Hongkun led a group of Chongqing government officials who were awakened from their beds by the entrance passage in the suburbs of Chongqing. , with a radiant smile on his face, "Eat the pot of pulp to welcome the master".

"I'm really sorry to disturb you and everyone, Mayor Li, at night!" Jiang Weiguo also smiled, "The military order is like a mountain! Since Weiguo is a party-state soldier, he should obey the orders of Shangfeng.

According to my father...according to the order of Chairman Jiang, our regiment will be stationed in Chongqing from now on and be responsible for the city defense affairs of Chongqing.

In the future, we will cause trouble for Mayor Li and everyone, please don't mind! "

"Where! Where!" Li Hongkun said again and again, "What's the matter with you? Second son, please enter the city!"

"No! No!" Jiang Weiguo shook his head firmly, "If the troops enter the city, won't they disturb the people and corrupt the place? We will be stationed outside the city.

For daily expenses such as food and daily necessities needed by the troops, we will also use military expenditures to purchase from the Chongqing Municipal Government or the people of Chongqing at market prices, and we will never violate discipline and disturb the people!"

"Definitely! Definitely!" Li Hongkun said again and again, "The second son is the son of the chairman and a rising star of the party-state youth. Naturally, he is skilled in commanding the army and training well. Your ministry will be able to live in harmony with the people in the mountain city and integrate the army and the people..." He He was full of compliments, because he knew that by "opening the door to thieves and luring wolves into the house" it was tantamount to showing that he had "betrayed Sichuan and defected to the central government".

After sending Li Hongkun and other government officials back to the city, Jiang Weiguo, Du Yuming, Sun Liren and others quickly dispatched troops.

After spreading out a map of Chongqing City, Sun Liren seemed to point out Jiangshan with confidence; "Although our army is strong and well-equipped, our number is limited after all, so if the Sichuan Army really brazenly brazenly retaliates against our army, our army must do something about it." Good preparations.

First of all, our troops cannot engage in field battles or positional battles with the Sichuan army in the field outside the city. Secondly, time is limited. I heard from Li Hongkun just now that Liu Xiang and others have led their troops back to Chongqing. Therefore, our troops should concentrate our forces and must not violate The mistake of distributing troops is to guard the main throat from western Hubei to Chongqing, that is, Tazi Mountain and Panlong Mountain, the two commanding heights on the north and north banks of the Yangtze River. As long as our troops occupy these two places, we can ensure that the main force of the Central Army can enter at any time. Chongqing can also occupy a geographical advantage and not be expelled from Chongqing by the Sichuan army. Thirdly, it can use its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. It can suppress the whole city of Chongqing with artillery fire from a high position. Fourthly, it is backed by the Yangtze River, which is conducive to getting assistance from the naval fleet. It is easy for the troops to go ashore from the Yangtze River or to evacuate with the navy fleet!"

"What Fumin said is true, this plan really covers everything!" Du Yuming, Qi Xueqi, and Liao Yaoxiang all agreed.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Sun Liren with a smile. The returnee elite finally got the chance to fight, and he was naturally excited. He probably had studied the battle plan in advance.

"Jianhao, what do you think?" Du Yuming, the head of the colonel, once again "shamelessly asked" the captain and battalion commander, Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo said helplessly: "The deputy delegation's plan is very good. Since all the officers agree, of course I also agree!"

Qi Xueqi was also very helpless: "Are we really going to go to war with the Sichuan Army?"

"Probably not!" Liao Yaoxiang said, "After all, we are the Central Army, and we were stationed in Chongqing under the order of the principal. They seem to be in harmony with the central government, sharing the same bed but different dreams, but they still have to work hard on the surface!"

The officers all agreed, and it is estimated that there will not be a real war, but it does not rule out the possibility.

After discussing the deployment plan, everyone led the troops to the planned station, which is also the position in case of war. Du Yuming and Liao Yaoxiang stationed half of the troops at Tazi Mountain on the north bank of the river, and Sun Liren and Qi Xueqi stationed the other half on the south bank of the river. (Qi Xueqi and Sun Liren are classmates at Tsinghua University. They also went to the United States to study military affairs. They are also returnee elites. Qi Xueqi and Sun Liren have a very good relationship).

Five thousand officers and soldiers worked together to dig trenches, build fortifications, and build barracks, and they were immediately busy.

In the regiment headquarters on Tazi Mountain, Jiang Weiguo was sitting in a daze. He definitely didn't need to do the work himself, and Du Yuming and others didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Jiang Weiguo was thinking about his father Chiang Kai-shek who was thousands of miles away in Xi'an.

Do you want to interfere in the upcoming "Xi'an Incident"?Jiang Weiguo was upset.

In the past half month, Jiang Weiguo has been thinking about this important issue, but after thinking about it carefully, he was shocked. He found that he could not interfere at this time. If Jiang Weiguo sent a telegram to remind Chiang Kai-shek that "Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng have mischief", and Chiang Kai-shek had no time to escape, if he tried to escape, it might cause Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to attack in advance. At that time, the "Xi'an Incident" would be another If there is such a model, everything will change, and it will become an unknown way and an unpredictable development trend that even Jiang Weiguo can't count.

In the "Xi'an Incident" in history, Chiang Kai-shek did not die, but now, maybe Jiang Weiguo "messed up" and killed Chiang Kai-shek in the new "Xi'an Incident". disaster.

On the other hand, Jiang Weiguo realized an extremely important butterfly effect at the same time: if he interfered in the "Xi'an Incident", then Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng would not be able to detain Chiang Kai-shek. Army, the Northwest Army and the Red Army suppressed and wiped out together. At that time, the civil war in the Northwest region will escalate in an all-round way, and the result will completely change. One thing is absolutely certain, that is: history will be completely different from now on, Jiang Weiguo lost his most precious "the ability to predict things like a god" before the war of resistance began, and the war of resistance will change due to changes in time and situation. It's another pattern entirely.

After figuring out this level of joints, Jiang Weiguo sighed, and finally decided to stand by and watch the "Xi'an Incident".

Chiang Kai-shek sent Jiang Weiguo to lead troops to Chongqing, and this matter was immediately learned by Sichuan Provincial Chairman Liu Xiang and other senior Sichuan Army officials.

At this time, there were six powerful generals in Sichuan Province, namely Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Deng Xihou, Wang Lingji, Yang Sen, and Pan Wenhua. The first five were collectively called "Generals of the Five Elements". Among them, the "Five Elements General" is still maintained.

Among the six generals, Yang Sen occupies the eastern area of ​​Sichuan, Liu Wenhui occupies the eastern area of ​​Sichuan and Tibet (the local area was established as Xikang Province in 1939), and the most fertile and rich Chengdu Plain is naturally Liu Xiang's territory. Deng Xihou, Wang Lingji, Pan Wenhua and others respectively In remote places such as northern Sichuan and southern Sichuan, each occupies a territory, and there are several other weaker warlords such as Tian Songyao, Liu Chengxun, Lai Xinhui, and Liu Cunhou.

The current Sichuan Province can be regarded as a miniature version of China. "There are many warlords and one side is divided." Although Liu Xiang is the chairman of Sichuan Province, he has not substantively unified Sichuan in the same way that Chiang Kai-shek did not unify China. He is just Sichuan Province. The most powerful among the many warlords, other warlords only obey him in name, so Liu Xiang, the chairman of Sichuan Province, is equivalent to "the leader of the martial arts alliance".

Knowing that Jiang Weiguo led the army into Chongqing, Liu Xiang and others were very surprised. On the one hand, they ordered Yang Sen, who was closest to Chongqing, to closely monitor him. On the other hand, they dispatched troops from western Sichuan, central Sichuan, northern Sichuan, and southern Sichuan to Chongqing. Jiang Weiguo's fiction and reality.

Although Li Hongkun, the mayor of Chongqing, "opened the door to the robbers and defected to the central government", he did not dare to make a clean break with Liu Xiang and others, so he secretly told Liu Xiang and others about the situation of Jiang Weiguo's troops.

Liu Xiang and others quickly confirmed that there was "only one regiment" of Jiang Weiguo's troops marching into Chongqing.

"With a mere 2000 people, it is impossible to dare to go deep alone and enter the core area of ​​Sichuan Province. Jiang Weiguo should only be sent by Lao Jiang to test us. The next point is to beware of whether Lao Jiang will send follow-up main forces to Chongqing. If Lao Jiang played the ghostly trick of crossing the river in white clothes and sent another brigade or division behind Jiang Weiguo, he would really have to guard against it!" Liu Xiang said to his confidants.

Of course, Liu Xiang and others never dreamed that Jiang Weiguo's regiment only came with "less than half of the troops", but there were more than [-] people.

Li Hongkun only knew that Jiang Weiguo's unit was called the "918th Regiment", but he didn't know how many people there were in the regiment, which caused Liu Xiang and others to underestimate it.

Because Liu Xiang and others basically didn't take Jiang Weiguo seriously, they were only worried about Chiang Kai-shek behind Jiang Weiguo, so the 918th regiment was not attacked in Chongqing.

In fact, although Liu Xiang really wanted to pull out Jiang Weiguo's "thorn in the flesh", he was also cautious and did not dare to act rashly. Firstly, Jiang Weiguo's regiment had the orthodox status of the Central Army, and secondly, Jiang Weiguo was Chiang Kai-shek's son, and attacked Jiang Weiguo's troops Therefore, Liu Xiang and others quickly reached a consensus that as long as Chiang Kai-shek does not continue to send more troops to Chongqing, the matter of Jiang Weiguo's regiment stationed in Chongqing can be ignored.

It is worth mentioning that last year, Yang Yongtai, Chiang Kai-shek's "contemporary Zhuge Liang", successfully infiltrated the direct line of the central government into Sichuan Province through a series of strategies and tricks, so Liu Xiang and others really did not dare to "move" at this time Jiang Weiguo.

After Jiang Weiguo, Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Qi Xueqi, Liao Yaoxiang and others set up camp in Chongqing, they waited for two or three days, and found that the situation was calm and the Sichuan army did not make much movement. Only two divisions moved to Luzhou and Neijiang near Chongqing. There is nothing else. Liu Xiang and other senior generals of the Sichuan Army also sent condolence telegrams to the 918th regiment, and sent people to send some condolences such as pork and salted fish.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Weiguo started the important work of "building Chongqing's wartime defense system" in an orderly manner. He first applied to Chiang Kai-shek for a fund of 200 million yuan in French currency, and paid a lot of money himself. In order to mobilize forces, the government began to launch a series of measures in Chongqing.

First of all, Jiang Weiguo and Li Hongkun worked together to divide the urban area of ​​Chongqing into seventeen districts, and dig one or two large air-raid shelters in each district; at the same time, dispatched people to find suitable air defense artillery positions in the surrounding suburbs of Chongqing. , The place where the air raid early warning station is set up, and the Chongqing Municipal Government is also required to promote and popularize air defense knowledge to Chongqing residents from now on.

The facts of the later war proved that Jiang Weiguo's precautionary measures at this time were extremely good and benefited all people. The people of Chongqing City also specially erected several statues for Jiang Weiguo to thank Jiang Weiguo.

Section 091 Storm (1)

While Jiang Weiguo was busy doing business, he was ready to help Cai Wenna solve her lifelong affairs.

"Let's go! Let's go to Da County (Dachuan District of Dazhou City in later generations) and pay a visit to Commander Yang!" Jiang Weiguo said to Cai Wenna.

Yang Sen occupies seven counties in eastern Sichuan, namely Daxian, Tongchuan, Dazhu, Kaijiang, Xuanhan, Quxian, and Wanyuan, and his military headquarters is stationed in Daxian.

Cai Wenna is still like a frightened kitten, because her fear of Yang Sen has penetrated deep into her bones. If it were her alone, she would never dare to see Yang Sen again, but now with Jiang Weiguo's "backing", encouraged by Jiang Weiguo, She also gained courage, and nodded firmly: "Yes! Second Young Master, thank you!"

"Are you going like this?" Yang Mei looked at Jiang Weiguo who was about to drive to Da County.

"Otherwise?" Jiang Weiguo was a little puzzled.

"At least take your [-]st Armored Battalion with you!" Yang Mei felt helpless, "Da County is Yang Sen's core territory, where tens of thousands of his troops are stationed, you should take the battalion guards to line up, in case something happens ,what to do?"

"He doesn't dare to touch me, does he?" Jiang Weiguo is still very sure of this point.

"Basically dare not!" Yang Mei said, "But what if? People's hearts are unpredictable, so we have to guard against it!"

"The camp seat!" said Zhao Zhihua, the deputy battalion commander of the First Armored Battalion, "Our brothers from the whole battalion will go with you. This will not only protect your personal safety, but also conduct a long-distance training exercise for the whole battalion! Tanks are always on the move. Those who can’t develop field combat ability on the training ground must go to the field to practice well, and this happens to be an opportunity!”

"What are you kidding?" Jiang Weiguo was annoyed and funny, "From Chongqing to Daxian, the round trip is [-] kilometers, and our tanks are still unused? What if they broke down halfway in the front Buba village and the back Bubadian? What should I do? I can’t go back to the factory for repairs!”

Zhao Zhihua said with a smile: "It's not like driving over non-stop. We drive and stop along the way, not to mention that the battalion maintenance team has the ability to repair tanks in the field. Besides, isn't it like this on the battlefield? The more difficult the conditions, The harder and more complicated it is, the true field combat capability of the troops can be trained.

Who stipulated that in actual combat, tanks do not need to drive [-] kilometers continuously? "
