The Spring Festival of 1912 had just passed, and it stands to reason that Luzhou City could still have a little New Year's flavor, but the actual situation was a bit unusual. It's not that Luzhou is depressed, on the contrary, the business of the shops in the market is even hotter than during the Chinese New Year.

Many families in Luzhou City are doing their best to rush to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and other daily necessities, housewives have changed the buckles and ropes of bargaining on weekdays, taken out the silver dollars at the bottom of the box at home, and moved batches of daily necessities home for storage like squirrels in winter.

The business of the major shops on the street is very hot, and almost many goods have been snapped up, but the shop owners have no intention of filling the shelves with urgent purchases.

The market is abnormally hot, revealing a turmoil that everyone can feel, and even the soldiers of the security corps who patrol the streets to maintain order are mostly absent-minded.

The Sichuan Military Government gathered three divisions and 30,000 troops to send troops to southern Sichuan, and the news that the main force of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was transferred eastward to attack Chongqing was almost known to everyone in Luzhou City.

The vast majority of Luzhou citizens were pessimistic about the battle of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, especially after learning that the main force of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army had been transferred eastward and that three divisions from Chengdu had rushed to Luzhou, they did not feel that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army had the possibility of winning the war.

In the change of the upper echelons of power, it is often the common people at the lower levels who are unlucky in the end.

For this point, the deepest feeling and the most obvious performance are the more than a dozen factories introduced and supported by Wang Mo at the beginning. Although these factories are still operating as usual every day, they are no longer working overtime as before, and the directors of the factories are worried almost all the time.

The battle situation on the front line is unknown, and Luzhou City cannot avoid turmoil and turmoil, as well as the undercurrent that is about to move.

Tianxiang Teahouse, in a private room on the third floor, gathered more than a dozen soldiers in military uniforms.

If Wang Mo was present, I am afraid that he would immediately recognize that these dozen or so soldiers were all former officers who had been thrown into the military colonel by him by using his power, and some of them had even held heavy power in Luzhou City.

The atmosphere in the private room was a little eerie, no one spoke, most of them pretended to be very attentive to the tea in their cups, and a few seemed to study the landscape paintings hanging on the walls with great interest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since you don't dare to say it, then I'll say it first. The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is about to end, and we can't follow this bankruptcy to sink! The first to speak was Hu Kun, the former commander of the Luzhou City Defense Army, after the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army incorporated and rectified the troops in southern Sichuan, he was deprived of military power, and only hung an idle post in the Fufu of Southern Sichuan Town.

The rest of the officers had a vague premonition that Hu Kun had asked them out for something, but when they heard Hu Kun say this, they still felt a little surprised and uneasy.

Chen Jing, who usually has a close relationship with Hu Kun, was the first to echo: "Lao Hu is right, the three divisions on the Chengdu side will soon arrive in Luzhou, and Wang Haoshan is remote and does not measure his own strength, so he will transfer the main force east to attack Chongqing. Now that Luzhou City is empty in air defense, there is only one security regiment, how to fight in the face of 30,000 troops? ”

The vast majority of the officers present were deeply convinced of what these two people said, but they did not rush to echo it, Hu Kun and Chen Jing were in a posture of rebellion, at this moment, in this situation, they had to be cautious when speaking.

The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is about to finish, and they don't dare to stand up and resist, what a group of bad seeds!

Hu Kun was both angry and contemptuous of these people, but if he wanted to seize control of Luzhou City, these people were indispensable, so he had to patiently persuade him: "Everyone, think about it, in two or three days, the 30,000 troops on the Chengdu side will enter Luzhou, although we are not the descendants of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, but after all, we are wearing the military uniform of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and we are likely to be implicated and liquidated by the Chengdu side." ”

Chen Jing answered in a timely manner: "Yes, if you don't get rid of the relationship with the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army now, I'm afraid that my life will not be guaranteed." ”

Finally, an officer spoke: "That's right, but what can we do to contact Chengdu like this?" ”

Seeing that these people had already moved, Hu Kun smiled slightly: "We contacted Yin Dujun like this, I'm afraid he may not be willing to deal with us." However, if we join forces to seize control of Luzhou City, and then take the initiative to welcome the three divisions from Chengdu into the city, the situation will be very different. ”

Most of the people nodded in agreement, although it was easy for the three divisions in Chengdu to take Luzhou City, but they took the initiative to donate Luzhou City, which was also a vote. Even if Yin Dujun does not recognize the credit of this sacrifice of the city, he will not liquidate them because of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

However, there are still some people who disagree: "Just us, no one has no guns under our hands, and no one has listened to what we say in Luzhou City for a long time." If you want to seize control of Luzhou City, why? ”

Yes, the current Luzhou City is not the Luzhou City where these people had the final say in the past, and the officers looked gloomy.

Hu Kun said with confidence: "It depends on Wen Qian, as long as the security team can be made anyway, I believe that it will be easy to control Luzhou City." ”

The eyes of the officers lit up, and the Wen Qian that Hu Kun said was Liu Feng, the head of the Luzhou Security Regiment, and if he came forward, there was great hope for the security regiment anyway.

Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, Liu Feng let out a long sigh in his heart, but shook his head expressionlessly and said, "It is impossible to control the security regiment to reverse the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in a short period of time, even if it is me, the head of the regiment." ”

"Joke, you're the head of the security corps, will you be able to control the security corps?" Chen Jing shouted dissatisfied.

"Do you know how many soldiers in the security regiment really support the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and do you know how many soldiers' families in the security regiment work in those factories supported by the Zhenfu government? Even if I, the regiment commander, reveal the intention of betraying the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, most of them will be tied up by the soldiers below and handed over to those sent above. Liu Feng said coldly, these people don't understand at all that with the rapid development of the economy in southern Sichuan, few of the people who have benefited from it are willing to see the demise of the revolutionary army in southern Sichuan, even if he himself is not very willing.

Hu Kun frowned and asked, "Wen Qian, there's really no way?" It's better to spend more money to buy off the officers below, don't worry, the money is made up by our people, and you don't need to go out of the ocean. ”

Liu Feng shook his head firmly and said, "Commander, I came here this time just because I thought that you treated me well in the past, so I came to persuade you not to have unrealistic ideas." Even if the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is indeed defeated in the end, your idea of controlling Luzhou City now will never have the slightest hope of success. ”

Liu Feng used to be an officer of the Luzhou City Defense Army, and Hu Kun had the grace of knowing him, so he clearly guessed the purpose of Hu Kun's summoning of him, and came over to attend the party.

"You ......" Hu Kun was so angry that his beard trembled, he really didn't expect that his biggest reliance on seizing control of Luzhou in the plan would oppose him in public like this.

Cracking sound......

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of firecrackers outside the window, which exploded continuously, as if the whole city was lighting firecrackers to celebrate something.

Liu Feng seemed to hear some important news coming from outside the window, his expression moved, and he walked over and pushed open the window.

"Win, we won, Dashuai has broken through Chongqing!"

"The marshal has broken through Chongqing, and the team is about to be transferred back to Luzhou!"

"I'm afraid I'm going to be dumbfounded over there, the 30,000 army is a hammer, even if it comes to next year, it won't be able to enter our southern Sichuan!"

……

The citizens of Luzhou rushed to cheer, and their long-suppressed fears and worries were swept away at once, and they shouted with joy.

"Outside, outside, Wang Dashuai broke through Chongqing in three days, and Hu Jingyi fled in embarrassment!"

Soon, the newsboys took to the streets to sell the China Revival Newspaper in their hands, and this time it was obviously printed urgently, and the ink of some newspapers had not yet completely dried.

"Give me one!"

"I'll have one too!"

"The news of China Revival News is really well-informed, I will buy one too!"

The residents of Luzhou rushed to buy the China Revival Newspaper in the hands of the newsboy, for fear that they would not be able to buy it when it was too late.

"Commander, did you hear that? Dashuai will immediately lead the main force back to Luzhou, you let it go, there is no chance! Liu Feng left such a sentence, and then turned around and left the private room of the teahouse.

The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army broke through Chongqing, and the main force is going back to Luzhou?

The dozen or so officers in the private room of the teahouse all looked depressed, especially Hu Kun, who was even more depressed, and the whole person seemed to be dozens of years old in an instant.

……

It is about ten kilometers away from Neijiang City, in the middle of a dense jungle.

More than 200 Sichuan soldiers gathered back to back, but this did not make them feel safe, but most of them were pale, looking around from time to time with panicked expressions, as if a group of devouring beasts would burst out of the surrounding jungle at any time.

One of the officers could no longer stand the pent-up fear, and rushed out of the crowd into the dense jungle around him, and shouted, "Come out, come out if you have a kind!" You demons, come out, I'm going to kill you! ”

Bang-bang-bang

The officer pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger on the surrounding jungle again and again, until all the bullets were gone, and he kept pulling the trigger, shouting hysterically: "Come out, you dogs, Lao Tzu will slaughter you all and feed the dogs!" ”

Bang -

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet accurately hit the head of the frantically screaming officer, who fell to the ground and died instantly.

When attacked, the more than 200 Sichuan soldiers neither looked for cover to hide, waited for an opportunity to counterattack, nor escaped by taking the road, but threw away the rifles in their hands with bloodless faces, fell to the ground with weak legs, and begged for mercy loudly: "Don't kill me, I surrender!" Don't kill me...... I surrender ......"

On a tree a few hundred meters away, Wang Mo, who was covered with leaves and roots, put down his binoculars and said to the soldiers of the special operations battalion next to him, who were also covered with leaves and roots: "They have completely collapsed, go and collect their weapons, and then let them out of the forest." ”

In the past few days, Wang Mo led the soldiers of the special operations battalion day and night, using various means to constantly harass and kill the three troops that rushed to southern Sichuan, and finally the last 200 people left in this force completely collapsed.

In fact, this is not surprising, think about it, in a strange jungle, no matter eating, drinking, Lazar, there is a possibility of being attacked anytime and anywhere, and there are constantly comrades dying and missing. The jungle around them seemed to be a fierce beast and demon that could devour them at any time, and it was not surprising that the string in his heart had been stretched too tight for too long, and it would completely collapse
