Chapter 080: The Unification of Sichuan (I)
"Quick! Fast! Speed up again and strive to arrive in Chengdu tomorrow! Wang Mo personally urged the troops to speed up the march. 》
Wang Mo's urging did not have much effect, because the official road was too crowded, and the three divisions, plus the 4th division, were four divisions. Tens of thousands of people crowded into an official road, and the speed of the four divisions was different, so they couldn't get up at all.
"Father, if you continue like this, you will definitely not be able to catch up with Chengdu tomorrow." Wang Mo frowned and said to his father Wang Haoshan.
"Mo'er, this speed is already very good now, if you put aside the previous Qing meeting, you can have half the speed of this march, and it will only be possible for the commander to send a large sum of money. Forget it, Mer'er, don't be in such a hurry. Anyway, with the troops on the Chengdu side, they are definitely not our opponents, and it makes little difference if they arrive in Chengdu a little earlier or later. "Wang Haoshan's confidence is unprecedentedly strong at the moment, especially after taking the 4th Division at almost no cost.
Wang Mo said with some anxiety: "Father, I'm not afraid that we won't be able to take Chengdu, I'm worried that after Hu Jingyi sweeps away the resistance forces in Chengdu, he will concentrate his forces and shrink into the city. In that case, we will not only have to pay a great price for casualties, but also if we are not careful, it will be easy to destroy Chengdu. ”
If it is only that the casualties of the troops are larger, it is easy to say, but if Chengdu is really used as a battlefield, it will inevitably be hostile and resentful by the people of Chengdu, which is very unfavorable for the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army to take over the military and political power in Sichuan.
Wang Haoshan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, even if we promise a large amount of silver, in the current situation, the speed of the march is not much faster." ”
"Father, let me take the independent division first, only bring guns and a small amount of ammunition, and nothing else, I am sure that I will arrive in Chengdu tomorrow!" Wang Mo proposed.
The reason why Wang Mo proposed this was because he was confident in the independent division's ability to march in the field, and now he couldn't get up fast just because he was slowed down by the rest of the troops. Compared with the 4th, 5th, and 6th divisions of the Sichuan Army, the independent division focused on field weight-bearing training during recruit training, so its physical strength and endurance were higher.
Wang Haoshan understands his son, since he said that he is sure, he will not leave ten, but he still advised: "It's okay, it's up to you to take the independent division first, but you must not rush forward, just help Peng Guanglie stabilize his position, and then launch a full-scale attack after we arrive!" ”
Subsequently, a herald who had received Wang Haoshan's order rode a horse and galloped all the way on the official road, while at the same time conveying the order loudly over and over again: "The commander has an order, and the personnel who are not affiliated with the independent division should immediately retreat to both sides of the official road and get out of the way!" The commander has an order, and the personnel who are not affiliated with the independent division should immediately retreat to both sides of the official road and make way for the ......"
Soon, except for the independent division, the personnel of the other three divisions temporarily took refuge on both sides of the official road, and the official road was empty.
Wang Mo gave an order to the three regiment commanders, Lu Dayong, Li Jian and Zhang Wei: "Immediately let your soldiers give up the electric guns, mortars, ammunition boxes and those messy things, everyone only bring rifles and a bullet belt, and then march towards Chengdu at full speed!" ”
"Yes!"
Lu Dayong, Li Jian, and Zhang Wei immediately responded to the order and trotted over to reorganize their troops.
I have to say that the speed of the independent division that went into battle lightly was amazingly fast, and it didn't take long to complete the whole team, and quickly ran out of the sight of Wang Haoshan and others.
Wang Mo is marching against time, and every second is also racing against time on the Chengdu side, and people are bleeding and dying almost every moment.
Even when it was dark, the 1st Division still forced the motley units to launch death charges again and again against the 2nd Division's defensive blocks.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-
The sound of bean-like gunfire continued, countless stray bullets flew through the block, and the soldiers of the motley unit fell one after another, and the people behind stepped on the corpses of those in front of them and continued to rush forward.
"No...... I don't want to die, I won't fight! ”
There are always soldiers of the motley unit who have a nervous breakdown, turn around and run back.
Dada-da-da
The sound of a heavy machine gun rang out, and a chain of fire flicked through the night, cutting the soldiers who had turned and ran back into scattered parts.
"Those who flee from the battle will be summarily executed!"
The Warlords then shouted, as murderous as ever.
The powerful deterrent of the heavy machine guns behind them, and the motley troops who were about to turn around and flee stopped the trend of collapse, and had to bite the bullet and attack the defense line of the 2nd Division again.
This attack, regardless of casualties, doubled the defensive pressure on the 2nd Division, and several defensive lines were in danger of collapsing at any time.
Seeing the soldiers of the 2nd Division fall one after another, and the already fragile defense line was shaky, Peng Guanglie was dumbfounded and shouted: "Reserves, let the reserves go up to support immediately!" ”
Peng Guanghui, who was next to him, did not set off to mobilize the reserves, but said with a miserable face: "Big brother, our reserves have all been transferred a long time ago, and there are no more reserves." ”
Peng Guanglie kicked over Peng Guanghui, and shouted with red eyes: "There is no reserve, then let all the clerks and all the logistics soldiers of the division headquarters pick up their guns and give them to Lao Tzu, go quickly!" ”
"Commander Peng......" The blue wolf came to the headquarters of the 2nd Division again, and happened to see Peng Guanglie's crazy appearance.
When Peng Guanglie saw the blue wolf, he rushed over and grabbed the blue wolf's collar, and roared almost hysterically: "Where is Wang Mo? What about the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army? Didn't you say they'd come over, people, where the fuck are they? ”
"I'm on my way here." The blue wolf understood Peng Guanglie's mood at this time, but he didn't care about him.
"Fuck you, you're on your way! Do you know that Lao Tzu's 2nd Division has been disabled, and Lao Tzu's brothers are dying! Peng Guanglie is now like a fierce beast that wants to devour people, his eyes are fierce, and he can't wait to swallow the wolf alive on the spot.
"Okay, Master Peng, you don't have to worry, I came here this time to tell you that I found people from other groups of my secret service department in those miscellaneous troops besieging you." The blue wolf said.
"So what, Lao Tzu told you, if Wang Mo's turtle son didn't come over after dawn, Lao Tzu killed you first to pay for Lao Tzu's brothers!" Peng Guanglie pulled out the shell gun and pressed it against the blue wolf's head, not hiding his killing intent at all.
The blue wolf understood that there was no reason to talk to Peng Guanglie at this time, and said: "I don't know how many special service division action teams the young marshal has sent, but the task of the rest of the teams must be to rebel against the officers and generals of those troops. Since the rest of the group's operatives appeared in those units, it means that they have rebelled, as long as they find an opportunity, they will definitely lead their troops out of Hu Jingyi's control, then the defensive pressure of your 2nd Division will be greatly reduced. ”
"It better be!" Peng Guanglie said coldly, and then ordered the people around him, "Come on, take this bastard of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army and go to the front line together." If Wang Mo can't catch up, let him back thousands of brothers in our 2nd Division! ”
The blue wolf's guess was not wrong, at this time, there were indeed several special service division action teams that contacted the remaining troops of the 3rd Division of the Sichuan Army in Chengdu, the Chengdu Security Corps and the Tax Corps. Because they were forced by the 1st Division to storm the defense line of the 2nd Division at any cost, these troops were already angry. When they were contacted by the Operations Team of the Secret Service Division, they naturally hit it off.
Towards dawn, while the Overseers were slacking off due to sleepiness, the motley forces almost simultaneously overthrew the Overseers, and then immediately withdrew to the north of the city. Then they issued a joint statement expressing their neutrality, and said that if they were forced to go to war again, they would fight with whomever they wanted!
After learning this bad news, Hu Jingyi was furious, and immediately ordered Zhou Jun: "You take the 1st Division to go up in person, annihilate the 2nd Division at all costs, and then hold on to the city and wait for the rescue of the Beiyang Army!" ”
After hearing that there was a rescue from the Beiyang Army, Zhou Jun still chose to obey Hu Jingyi's order, personally led the first division, and launched a fierce attack on the 2nd division regardless of casualties.
The 2nd Division was on the verge of collapse, and where could it withstand the onslaught of the powerful 1st Division regardless of casualties.
The 2nd Division's defenses were broken through one after another, and countless soldiers of the 1st Division poured into the blocks defended by the 2nd Division.
"It's over, big brother, we're done!" Peng Guanghui collapsed to the ground in despair.
Looking at the approaching 1st Division, Peng Guanglie was desperate, pulled out his shell gun and aimed it at the blue wolf, and said angrily: "Since Wang Mo's turtle son didn't come over, then you can give our 2nd Division a back!" ”
The blue wolf knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he closed his eyes and waited for death.
Just as Peng Guanglie was about to pull the trigger, the right flank of the First Division not far away suddenly broke out, and from time to time some soldiers shouted in horror: "The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army...... The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is coming! ”
Peng Guanghui jumped up from the ground in surprise and laughed wildly: "Big brother, do you hear it, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is here, haha...... We are saved, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army has arrived! ”
Peng Guanglie also reacted immediately, shouting loudly: "Brothers, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army has rushed over to reinforce us, we are saved!" ”
The news of the arrival of reinforcements by the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was undoubtedly a boost to the dying 2nd Division, and the soldiers of the 2nd Division, who were already desperately waiting for death, were in a brave state as if they had taken a stimulant, and they turned around to counterattack the 1st Division.
More and more soldiers of the Chongqing Independent Division poured in from the right flank of the 1st Division, and the unprepared forward troops of the 1st Division were defeated and retreated, until they withdrew from the west of the city before recovering from the chaotic state of being attacked by the surprise attack and gradually stabilizing their positions.
Wang Mo led the Chongqing Independent Division to Chengdu in time, which meant that Hu Jingyi annihilated the 2nd Division, held the city to the death, and waited for the Beiyang Army to rescue the illusion completely shattered.
