Chapter 073: War is on the verge of breaking out

The war is about to ignite, ask for recommendation votes for support!

――――――――――――――――

In May, the situation became more tense across the country.

Sun Yat-sen actively promoted the formation of the "Yuan Army" and urged the southern provinces to become independent.

Compared with the procrastination and controversy of the Kuomintang, the actions of the Beiyang Army were much faster and more ferocious, and under Yuan Shikai's order, all units of the Beiyang Army immediately launched strategic arrangements in various places.

The general operational policy of the Beiyang Army was to focus on Jiangxi and Jiangsu, and control the two main lines of the Jinghan Railway and the Tianjin-Pudong Railway. using northern Hunan as a passage to attack Jiangxi; The main forces of the Beiyang Army attacked Jiangxi and Jiangsu; Lu Rongting, Long Jiguang and the armies of Yunnan and Guizhou in Guangxi were used to contain the southern revolutionary army from the flank; Combat with the navy and the army.

It can be seen that Yuan Shikai is concerned about Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Fujian, and Anhui, which are provinces where the Kuomintang has a huge force. As for Sichuan, he didn't care at all, he temporarily threw the hat of the Sichuan overseer to that Hu Jingyi, and let those Sichuan warlords fight themselves. As long as the overall situation is stable, it is easy to clean up the situation by sending a cronie to lead a detachment into Sichuan.

In June, Yuan Shikai dismissed the Kuomintang Jiangxi Governor Li Liejun, Guangdong Governor Hu Hanmin and Anhui Governor Bai Wenwei under the pretext of disobedience to the Central Committee.

In Sichuan, Yuan Shikai first reappointed Yin Changheng as an envoy to Sichuan, and soon forcibly arrested him and sent him to Beijing for the crime of "misappropriation of public funds," and then appointed Hu Jingyi as the governor of Sichuan in the name of the central government.

After being appointed by the central government, Hu Jingyi openly expressed his support for Yuan Shikai and actively prepared to purge the southern officers and troops unwilling to submit to him.

For a time, the situation in Chengdu and the surrounding areas was tense, and there were frequent frictions between various troops.

Chengdu, south of the city, the residence of Peng Guanglie, commander of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army.

Peng Guanglie looked up and down at the young man who was standing in front of him dressed like a roadside vendor, and asked, "You mean, you are Wang Mo, the young marshal of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army?" ”

Not only was Peng Guanglie looking at this strange vendor, but Peng Guanglie's own brother Peng Guanghui was also staring at the vendor with suspicion, and the guards around him were also paying attention to him.

In the face of the burning eyes of so many people, the young vendor did not show any nervousness, and replied calmly: "Yes, I am subordinate to the special service operation group directly under the young marshal. ”

Elite soldiers!

Peng Guanglie immediately labeled this small vendor with such a label in his heart, although the other party's disguise was very clever, and he did look like a real small vendor, but the smell of soldiers exuded by the other party still made him smell it for many years.

This is the fatal flaw of inexperienced rookie agents, but fortunately, Peng Guanglie didn't plan to do anything to him.

"Since you are Wang Mo's person, you won't come to the door for no reason, I don't know what to do?" Peng Guanglie asked.

Before the vendor could answer, Peng Guanghui, who was standing next to him, asked with an unkind expression: "Could it be that Wang Mo's kid sent you to incorporate our 2nd Division?" ”

Although Peng Guanglie did not speak at this time, judging from his expression, he obviously agreed with Peng Guanghui's speculation, and Wang Mo sent people to contact him, most likely hoping that he would lead the 2nd Division to defect to the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

Unexpectedly, the vendor did not deny Peng Guanghui's questioning head-on, but said: "I am here to warn Division Commander Peng, Hu Jingyi is making military deployments, and it is estimated that he will soon take action against Division Commander Peng and the 2nd Division." ”

Hu Jingyi's intention to attack Peng Guanglie and the 2nd Division can be said to be well known to passers-by in Chengdu.

Peng Guanglie was not surprised at this, nodded, and said lightly: "Okay, I know about this, thank you for your reminder for me." ”

"It's the kind of news that children on the street know, and I'm embarrassed to sell it!" Peng Guanghui couldn't help but stab, since the last battle in southern Sichuan, he didn't want to see him, and he could even say that he hated the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, if it wasn't for Peng Guanglie to stop him, I'm afraid he would have wanted to take someone to the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army for revenge.

The little vendor is a young man in the end, and he couldn't help but smile coldly when Peng Guanghui stabbed him like this, and said: "I'm afraid Master Peng doesn't know yet, Sun Dagui, the head of the three regiments under you, has been bribed by Hu Jingyi, and is ready to turn against you after the war, and stab you in the back!" ”

"What do you say? Sun Dagui rebelled, how is this possible? Peng Guanglie's face changed drastically, and he couldn't believe such news.

"Impossible?" The small vendor sneered, "Master Peng, you don't want to think about what happened to that Sun Dagui recently, he has been buying a mansion and marrying a fourth concubine in the past few months, where did he get the money to squander it so much?" ”

"Impossible, Sun Dagui was brought out of the countryside by me, and it is absolutely impossible to betray me!" Peng Guanglie retorted loudly with some emotion, not so much to refute the small vendor who said that Sun Dagui had betrayed, but to refute the doubts that had already arisen in his own heart.

In fact, not to mention Peng Guanglie, even Peng Guanghui already believed that Sun Dagui, the head of the Third Regiment, had rebelled. Because it is true, as the small vendor said, Sun Dagui, who was born in poverty, has spent money like water in the past few months, which is obviously very abnormal. Moreover, it is very simple to verify this matter, Sun Dagui wants to instigate and coerce everyone in the three regiments to betray Peng Guanglie, and there will always be some clues.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you, Senior Commander Peng, my task is just to come over and warn you, and I'm going to leave." The vendor turned around and left.

"Wait, little brother!" Peng Guanglie stopped the small vendor who was leaving.

The little vendor looked at Peng Guanglie in confusion and asked, "What else is going on with Master Peng?" ”

After sorting out the emotions that had been devastated by learning of Sun Dagui's rebellion just now, Peng Guanglie asked in a gentle manner, "I don't know what little brother is called?" ”

The vendor didn't understand why Peng Guanglie suddenly did this, but he still replied: "Our secret service department has a secrecy policy, and I can't say my name, but you can call me by my code name - Blue Wolf." ”

Peng Guanglie smiled slightly: "Brother Blue Wolf, Wang Mo sent someone like you to Chengdu, presumably to help someone like me who is unwilling to submit to Hu Jingyi, right?" ”

The blue wolf replied with a blank face: "Sorry, no comment! ”

The smile on Peng Guanglie's face couldn't help but froze, he thought about it, and then said to Peng Guanghui: "Third brother, go and fetch a thousand oceans, as a reward for the blue wolf brother who risked his life to give us a warning." ”

Hearing that he was going to send him money, the blue wolf was not only happy, but his face became gloomy, and he said, "Okay, Master Peng, don't use this set." I've been keeping in touch with you lately, and I'll say what I can tell you. I can't tell you, if I reveal half of the sentence, it will be a dead end! Leave! After speaking, he ignored Peng Guanglie's retention and turned around and left Peng's mansion.

As soon as the blue wolf left, Peng Guanglie's face became gloomy, and he said: "Third brother, you immediately arrange for people to touch the situation of Sun Dagui and the third group, remember, you must be quiet!" ”

Thinking of Sun Dagui's rebellion, Peng Guanghui gritted his teeth with hatred: "Understand, I'll do it right away!" ”

Sun Dagui's betrayal was not a big blow to Peng Guanglie. His original plan was to lead the 2nd Division out, find a place outside and shrink up for the time being to watch the wind, and he would fall on whichever side of Hu Jingyi and the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was windy. But he never thought that Hu Jingyi would be so ruthless and buy him a group without making a sound. Now that he wants to leave, Hu Jingyi may not let him go.

Could it be that you really want to take refuge in the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army?

……

Chongqing, a suburb in the west of the city, an independent division barracks.

Groups of soldiers in neat and neat uniforms walked out of the barracks of the independent division in a continuous and continuous manner.

In the sunlight, the bayonets that shimmer in cold light are lined up, giving a strong visual impact.

From time to time, a few soldiers walked by carrying light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and although these bulky guys did not have the visual impact of the bayonet forest, everyone knew the terrifying lethality of these weapons, and this kind of deterrence was even more terrifying.

"Salute!" The officer shouted.

Swish!

The troops that walked in front of Wang Mo, under the leadership of the officer, all the soldiers raised their right hands in front of him in salute.

Wang Moli returned the salute and inspected the unit that he had personally built.

Noticing Wang Mo's gaze, the soldiers who walked by all raised their heads and chests, and walked out of the best military posture with the fullest mental state.

In fact, according to Wang Mo's original plan, he would not send troops until the battle broke out in Chengdu. However, he didn't expect that Beiyang's deterrence and the temptation of money would have such a great effect. Not only did Zhou Jun, the commander of the 1st Division, and Liu Cunhou, the commander of the 4th Division, support Hu Jingyi, but even a regiment under Peng Guanglie was bribed and betrayed.

According to the information sent back by those secret service officers, Wang Mo could see that before he could do this, Peng Guanglie was already in danger. If he really makes a move, I am afraid that Hu Jingyi will soon be able to sweep away some of the troops left behind in Chengdu by Peng Guanglie's 2nd and 3rd Divisions.

There was no way, Wang Mo could only change his plan and send troops in advance, hoping to catch Hu Jingyi off guard.

While thinking about it, a communications soldier trotted all the way to Wang Mo and reported: "Report, two people from outside the barracks claiming to be Xiong Kewu, commander of the 6th Division of the Sichuan Army, and Yang Shukan, a member of the Sichuan Provincial Council, asked to see you. ”

"Let them in!" Wang Mo was very curious about what choice these two would make.

After a while, Xiong Kewu and Yang Shukan walked into the barracks under the leadership of the guards, and the two were obviously very concerned about the independent divisions that were constantly opening out of the barracks. Especially Xiong Kewu, staring greedily at the various powerful weapons and equipment of the independent division, his eyes were about to fall out.

After seeing Wang Mo, Yang Shukan asked with a happy face: "Chief Wang, is this going to send troops to Chengdu?" ”

The independent divisions are already in operation, of course Wang Mo is not ready to hide it, nodded and said: "That's right, I will personally lead the independent division to Chengdu, and my father will also lead the 5th division (that is, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army) at the same time, and the elite of the two divisions will jointly besiege Chengdu!" ”

"Good, good!" Yang Shukan was overjoyed and said with a smile, "It is still Ziwen (Wang Mozi) who understands the righteousness, and I will definitely dedicate your father and son's contribution to the revolution to Mr. Sun, and fully support Wang Dashuai as the governor of Sichuan!" ”

Wang Mo smiled lightly and said: "I'm afraid that Councilor Yang has misunderstood, my Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is indeed sending troops to Chengdu, but I never said that we will announce ** and support Sun Yat-sen against Yuan." ”

"What! What do you mean? Yang Shukan's face suddenly became ugly.

"Boy, don't you just want to take the opportunity to incorporate my 6th Division?" Xiong Kewu said loudly, "No problem, as long as you turn on the power to oppose Yuan and equip our 6th Division with weapons and equipment like you, the Chongqing Independent Division, our 6th Division will accept your incorporation!" ”

In Xiong Kewu's view, Wang Mo's tone is nothing more than wanting to take advantage of the fire to rob and annex his 6th Division to strengthen his strength.

Wang Mo smiled, shook his head and said, "I think Senior Commander Xiong, you have misunderstood, I never wanted to annex the 6th Division. ”
