The out-and-out local warlord of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army accused the Sichuan military government of being an arrogant dictatorial warlord, and in the eyes of outsiders, this was nothing more than a dog-eat-dog hair, and it is estimated that most of the people moved a bench to sit next to watch the excitement.

However, for the vast majority of ordinary people in southern Sichuan, the Sichuan military government brazenly dispatched troops to southern Sichuan for no reason to provoke a civil war in Sichuan.

"Republican, not dictatorial! Peace and not war! ”

The headline on the front page of the China Revival Daily on March 22 reported that the article criticized the Sichuan military junta for its insistence on provoking the Sichuan civil war, and directly branded a certain overseer as a villain who hindered the democratic republic.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense!" Yin Changheng's face turned pale, and he was so angry that he crumpled the newspaper in his hand and smashed it into the trash can. How can he not be angry when he has always been called a republican meritorious servant and has now been slandered as a dictatorial warlord and a major sinner who obstructs the democratic republic?

Zhou Jun, commander of the First Division of the Sichuan Army, said: "Why should the overseers care, this is just a shameless trick of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army." As long as they annihilate the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, sweep away the Southern Sichuan, and ban this China Revival Newspaper is just a sentence from the Overseer. ”

Yin Changheng's face was still gloomy, and he asked again: "Is the teacher back, how did Chongqing break?" How could a division of the South Sichuan Revolutionary Military Region break through Chongqing in just three days? He originally wanted to use Hu Jingyi's old fox to clean up Chongqing Zhenfu without blood, but he didn't expect to involve the more ferocious wolf of Zhenfu in southern Sichuan.

Seeing that Hu Jingyi's old fox was usually quite good at being a man, Zhou Jun opened his mouth to excuse him: "Overseer, the loss of Chongqing is not necessarily due to the poor defense of the corps commander. ”

Yin Changheng snorted coldly and said, "Although those troops in Chongqing are all miscellaneous troops, how can they make up more than 20,000 people to defend the city. In the face of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, which was less than 10,000 people, it did not hold it for even three days, how did this city defend it? ”

"Overseer, I heard that the artillery regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is equipped with hundreds of Western artillery, and the firepower is very fierce. It was undoubtedly very difficult for the commander of the legion to hold the city defense line under the heavy bombardment of hundreds of Western artillery pieces with only a few miscellaneous troops. Zhou Jun threw out the artillery regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army as the reason for the crime of Chongqing's loss of non-war, but he didn't expect that there was a mistake, but he said that it was an important reason for the loss of Chongqing.

"Really? Can the artillery regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army have hundreds of Western artillery? Does Wang Haoshan have a connection with foreigners? Yin Changheng looked startled, a little incredulous, with a poor countryside like southern Sichuan, how could Wang Haoshan afford such an artillery regiment?

Zhou Jun nodded and said, "It shouldn't be fake." Do the Overseers remember the arrival of the Dian army in Sichuan last year? It was with the powerful firepower of this artillery regiment that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was able to repel the Dian army. ”

As soon as Zhou Jun said this, Yin Changheng quickly remembered. If the artillery regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was really so strong, then the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions might not be able to advance into southern Sichuan as smoothly as expected.

Thinking of this, Yin Changheng's already frowning brows suddenly wrinkled even tighter.

……

On the line from Fushun to Longchang, on the main road leading to Luzhou, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army dug out a trench defense line several kilometers long, completely intercepting the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Sichuan Army.

Although the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions of the Sichuan Army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, there were still more than 25,000 people.

And the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, including the artillery regiment, had less than 7,000 people, almost a quarter of the opponent's, and the disparity in strength was very large.

"Ants bite elephants to death, big handsome, I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight." Zhang Li, the commander of the Second Regiment, looked at the mighty enemy army in front of him, and could not hide the worry in his heart.

Hao Gang didn't look afraid at all, and said with a scolding grin: "There are many people who have a hammer to use, and the machine gun suddenly rushes over, and it is still dead!" ”

If only it were that simple!

Ignoring Hao Gang's heartless second goods, Zhang Li said again: "Dashuai, we have to find a way to restrict, or not let the other party give full play to the advantage of troops, otherwise we may be difficult to defend." ”

Wang Haoshan nodded in agreement with Zhang Li's statement, but he didn't say anything, so he really couldn't think of any way to limit the opponent's strength advantage except to defend it.

At this time, Wang Mo stood up and said, "Father, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not. ”

"Oh, Mo'er, what do you have in mind, tell me about it." Wang Haoshan was overjoyed, he knew that his son, if he was not a little sure, would not take the initiative to bring it up.

Wang Mo said slowly: "First of all, we must give full play to our firepower advantage. The arrangement of fire points such as electric guns and mortars on the defensive line should be layered, so as to block their tactical charge from the crowd. Each firing point must have a backup team that can be replenished immediately in the event of damage and maintain the fire blockade. Secondly, the combined forces of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Sichuan Army are not necessarily monolithic, and we can divide and disintegrate them. ”

"Fragmentation? Young marshal, what do you mean? Zhang Li asked puzzledly, could it be that in the current war, can it be that he still sent envoys to play discord?

Wang Mo smiled slightly: "These days, the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army has suffered heavy losses, not to mention that most of the regiment has lost nearly 2,000 people. If there are another one or two thousand casualties, I am afraid that Peng Guanglie will have to faint in distress. ”

Wang Haoshan's expression moved, as if he had thought of something, and said in surprise: "Mo'er, you mean ......?"

"That's right!" Wang Mo clenched his fist with his right hand, "After the war, at all costs, in the shortest possible time, the 2nd Division will be completely disabled, and Peng Guanglie will be so distressed that he will not dare to fight any more." As long as the 2nd Division withdraws from the battle, the 3rd and 4th Divisions will hesitate and wait and see, and will no longer fight with us with all their might. ”

In this era, soldiers are generals, and the soldiers under their command are the lifeblood of these officers.

Although Peng Guanglie will obey Yin Changheng's military orders, this does not mean that he is willing to fight the 2nd Division out. Without the 2nd Division, then he is nothing.

After listening to Wang Mo's words, Wang Haoshan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, this is a good idea." Ordered the artillery regiment to keep an eye on the ranks of the 2nd Division, and let Peng Guanglie's turtle grandson cry to death, haha! ”

"Dashuai is right, let Peng Guanglie's turtle grandson cry to death!"

The officers next to him laughed in agreement, and the oppression and tension caused by the enemy's large force were swept away.

Perhaps because they felt that they had the chance of victory, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Sichuan Army only rested for half a day, and in the afternoon of the same day, the three divisions each gathered a regiment of troops, and launched the first round of attacks on the defense line of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in the left, center, and right directions.

The three division commanders looked at their huge troops, full of confidence, the first round of three regiments of attack was just the beginning, once the defense line of the southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army showed signs of being broken, they would immediately increase their troops and pounce.

"Brother Peng, Brother Sun, the artillery regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is very strong, and it is said that it is equipped with hundreds of Western artillery, which is probably a huge threat. I know that you must all have an artillery team hidden, so why don't you combine the artillery teams of our three divisions so that you can suppress the artillery regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army? Liu Cunhou proposed that when he was the chief of staff of the Yunnan Army, he had seen the powerful firepower of the artillery regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, so he was very jealous.

Peng Guanglie was a little disdainful: "Hundreds of Western artillery? Nonsense, in the poor countryside of southern Sichuan, even if Wang Haoshan scrapes the ground and scrapes the bottom, he may not be able to get the money to buy so many Western artillery. ”

Sun Zhaoluan also objected: "Killing chickens with chicken-killing knives, killing cattle with ox-killing knives, just Wang Haoshan's six or seven thousand people, wouldn't it be too wasteful to use our artillery team." ”

Liu Cunhou knew in his heart that the artillery team was saved by Peng Guanglie and Sun Zhaoluan by all means, and it was definitely their belongings at the bottom of the box, and they were easily unwilling to use it, so they had to dispel the idea of suppressing the artillery regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

Since there is a great superiority in troops, it is natural to choose the tactics of crowds. After some probing and fire reconnaissance, the three regiments of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Sichuan Army soon launched a full-scale attack on the positions of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

The three regiments, 7 to 8,000 men, were in a large area, and they were rapidly approaching the position of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army like ants coming out of their nests.

Bang-bang-bang

Gunshots rang out, and both sides shot back and forth, and soldiers were constantly shot and fell to the ground, and had to sleep forever on this land.

Dada-da-da

The machine guns rang out, a series of bullets strafed, and the attacking soldiers fell to the ground screaming in pieces, and the officers began to direct the soldiers to fire in the direction of the machine guns, suppressing and destroying the machine gun fire points on the defensive positions.

At this moment, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky.

"Shelling, lying down, all lying down!" The officers immediately lay down and shouted loudly.

Boom-boom-boom

The shells landed one after another, shaking the ground one after another.

However, the officers and men of the 3rd and 4th Divisions were pleasantly surprised to find that not a single shell fell on their heads, but all of them smashed on the side of the 2nd Division on the left flank.

Peng Guanglie, who saw this scene through the telescope, almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood directly, and scolded in public: "Wang Haoshan, you are an immortal, Lao Tzu killed your father or robbed your woman, so aimed at Lao Tzu!" ”

In the end, Peng Guanglie really vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot, and it was the situation on the battlefield that made him jaw-dropping and his heart twisted.

Peng Guanglie couldn't understand why, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army only blocked the troops of the 3rd and 4th Divisions, contained the charge, and did not strive to maximize the damage, but the troops of his 2nd Division were beaten to the death, and the shelling never stopped, and more than a dozen electric guns desperately greeted his troops, as if Wang Haoshan had some deep hatred with him.

In less than an hour, the regiment of the 2nd Division suffered heavy casualties under the ferocious blows of the concentrated fire of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and only a few hundred people fled back in confusion.

The regiment of the 2nd Division was disabled, and the two regiments of the 3rd and 4th Divisions could no longer attack, so they had to retreat, and the first round of attacks ended so strangely
