Chapter 246: The Fuse

Rao is Cai Ye has been in the army for many years, and he also studied at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School in Tokyo, Japan, and he is also well-informed in the military field, but he is still deeply shocked by Wang Mo's special unit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

This is not to say how powerful this unit is, but that the combat mode of this unit has completely broken with the old military common sense and opened up a completely new tactical method of operation.

The more knowledgeable and solid a person like Cai Yi is in military theory, the more he can appreciate the shock brought by this special unit.

"The young marshal is indeed a military genius, I don't know how much such a unit has been trained?" Cai Ye couldn't help but ask, and at the same time wondered in his heart how he would use this special force if he was Wang Mo.

"There are already a thousand trained soldiers." Wang Mo replied.

"It's a little less, but if it's used properly, it can indeed do wonders on the battlefield." Cai Yi praised.

"Don't hide it from Cai Dudu, this special unit is one of the things I used to lay the foundation for victory." Wang Mo said solemnly, "Don't be afraid to say a big thing, in fact, no matter how many loans and assistance President Yuan receives from the great powers and how many troops he expands, the younger generation is also fully sure that he can win the battle." Merely...... At that time, the north and south of the river will inevitably be torn apart by the flames of war...... Or even destruction! ”

Cai Yi looked at Wang Mo in amazement, he didn't understand where Wang Mo was so confident, but Wang Mo's resolute and confident eyes and expression all told him that Wang Mo probably didn't lie much.

Of course, what Wang Mo said is true, because he has the industrial machine in hand, as long as he does not hesitate to the fundamentals, the cost, and does not consider the consequences, he can completely unlimited violent troops, 100,000 can not beat then 200,000, 200,000 can not beat then 1 million, 2 million, not to mention the Beiyang Army, even if the Western powers go into battle in person, they can still fight.

Of course, such a fight must bear extremely serious consequences, that is, China will be completely destroyed, and China's people's livelihood, economy, and national strength will inevitably regress by more than 20 years after the war.

Cai Yi frowned and pondered, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice: "If there is the full support of our Yunnan army, I wonder if the young marshal is sure to quickly defeat the Beiyang Army and not make this battle greatly damage the vitality of our country?" ”

"Overseersβ€”"

The confidant officers and generals beside Cai Ye suddenly exclaimed, the overseers really planned to stand on the side of the obviously weak Wang family.

Wang Mo smiled slightly and said, "If the Dian army can fully support it, it will be a blessing for the autonomous government of the Southern United Provinces. However, I did not come here to invite the Dian army to directly participate in the war, but only to hope that Cai Dudu would abide by neutrality. ”

A group of Yunnan officers and soldiers were surprised again, and even Cai Yi did not expect that Wang Mo came in person, and sent weapons and ammunition from three divisions, and did not hesitate to expose the hidden killer features, and spent such a large amount of money just to fight for the neutrality of the Yunnan army.

Before, Cai Ye had always been worried that Wang Mo would ask him to lead the Dian army to directly participate in the battle, but at this time, when he heard Wang Mo say that he just hoped that he could abide by neutrality, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"The young marshal is full of confidence." Cai Ye said that at this time, he somewhat believed what Wang Mo had just said that he was completely confident in defeating the Beiyang Army.

"I'm a soldier, I've always been straight, just do it, if you can't do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it! Since you have enough strength, you will naturally not be arrogant! Wang Mo said categorically, still with great confidence in his words.

Cai Yi raised his head slightly to look at the special force, and then at the heroic Wang Mo, sighed slightly, and said, "I, the Republic of China, will indeed look at a young man like you in the future." In this way, as long as the Beiyang Army goes south, I will let the main force of the Yunnan Army advance eastward, and Chen troops will be at the junction of Yunnan and Guangxi. ”

Good idea!

Wang Mo couldn't help but praise in his heart, the main force of the Yunnan army was deployed eastward at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, and it immediately pressed the Gui army, which had been eyebrow-raising with Beiyang, unable to move. Moreover, Cai can still maintain a neutral position.

What the? The eastward advance of the Yunnan army and the coercion of the Gui army are indirectly helping the southern coalition army, which is equivalent to supporting the autonomous government of the southern coalition provinces?

If anyone dares to say this, Cai Ye will definitely not mind rewarding him with a few mouths, so that the other party can understand that it is the power and freedom of him, the governor of Yunnan, to mobilize the Yunnan army in Yunnan Province, so it is full of malicious slander!

It is naturally good to be able to get such indirect help from the Yunnan army, Wang Mo bowed slightly to Cai Yi, and said: "The younger generation only thanks Cai Dudu for his strong support and help on behalf of the autonomous government of the Southern United Province. ”

Cai Yi smiled, shook his head slightly, and said: "Young marshal, what you said is wrong, even if the main force of our Yunnan army advances eastward in the future, it will be a transfer due to the suppression of bandits, but it is not for any other reason, and it has nothing to do with your Southern United Provincial Autonomous Government." ”

This is said to be cunning, the soldiers of this era really cannot be regarded as simple soldiers, even military masters like Cai Ye also have extraordinary political wisdom.

Wang Mo smiled knowingly and said, "What Cai Dudu said is very true, it is a mistake of the juniors. ”

As if thinking of something, Wang Mo looked at the Yunnan officers and soldiers beside Cai Yi, and said, "However, the junior really has something to do, and I want to ask Cai Dudu for help." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Cai Ye noticed Wang Mo's gaze looking at the Yunnan officers and soldiers beside him, and vaguely understood Wang Mo's thoughts.

Wang Mo didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "This special unit of the younger generation is still in absolute secrecy, once the news leaks out, the Beiyang Army will definitely be on guard, in that case, the plan of the younger generation is likely to fall short, and the war will inevitably expand and prolong, so ......"

"You can rest assured that the guards and officers who came with me this time will soon undergo long-term closed training, and absolutely no outsiders will be able to contact them until the end of the war." Cai Ye solemnly assured.

......

On the evening of December 15, 1914, Dingnan County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province.

Since ancient times, Dingnan County has been the choke point of transportation between Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces, and after the autonomous government of the southern provinces raised tariffs and vigorously suppressed foreign goods, it quickly became the most frequent and rampant place for smuggling in the south.

As a result, Dingnan County has become one of the important stations of the anti-smuggling police of the Department of Industry and Commerce, and there are many temporary warehouses to store the large amount of smuggled goods seized, and the smugglers who have not had time to escort them away will also be temporarily detained in camps.

At night, I couldn't see my fingers, only the lights in the anti-smuggling police camp were shining.

In order to facilitate the establishment of cards and the dispatch of smuggling convoys to pursue the smuggling convoy, the camp of the anti-smuggling police was not in the county seat of Dingnan County, but was set up in the suburbs closer to the mountain road.

Wang Xiangdong, the chief captain of the anti-smuggling police team, walked out of the barracks to check the night as usual, and although he repeatedly told himself that he had left the army, he still instinctively maintained the rules of conduct when he was in the army.

When passing by the gate of the camp, he saw the guards on duty curled up and dozing in the cold wind, although Wang Xiangdong was also very considerate of the police officers who had worked hard and tired for several days, he was still ruthless, woke up the guards on duty with a straight face, and scolded: "Since you are on duty, then cheer up, in case there is an enemy surprise attack, you have not given a warning, are the brothers still alive?" ”

The two guards on duty who were woken up didn't dare to say anything, but Nono answered the order.

However, when Wang Xiangdong walked away, the two guards on duty yawned disapprovingly, and curled up again and dozed off.

Wang Xiangdong walked and walked, and suddenly felt as if something was wrong, and looked left and right suspiciously.

The woods outside the camp seemed a little too quiet, and there were still a few occasional sounds of insects and birds chirping in the old days.

Wang Xiangdong looked vigilantly at the forest outside the camp, and suddenly faintly saw a figure shaking, and couldn't help shouting: "Who! Who's there! ”

"Bang-"

As soon as Wang Xiangdong's words fell, gunshots rang out.

Poof――

Wang Xiangdong was immediately shot in the shoulder, blood splattered, he fell to the ground without hesitation, and at the same time resisted the pain in his shoulder, pulled out the matching gun and pulled the trigger again and again.

"Bang-bang-bang-"

Wang Xiangdong did not expect to hit many enemies in this black-lit environment, but hoped to use the sound of gunfire to warn the police officers in the camp.

Almost as soon as the gunshots rang out, countless armed men emerged from the dark forest like bees coming out of their nests. From a distance, there are groups of black shadows, which is extremely oppressive.

"Da-da-da-"

A series of bullets swept over, and Wang Xiangdong's side suddenly became dusty, but fortunately, it was difficult to target him at night.

Bastard, there are even machine guns!

Wang Xiangdong scolded in his heart, and at the same time was shocked.

Roughly swept over, the opponent's strength was at least more than a thousand, and there were also a lot of machine guns, this is definitely not an ordinary bandit armament.

Could it be that the Cantonese army ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and dared to send troops north?

"Bang-bang-"

"Da-da-da-"

The gunfire intensified, and more and more armed men came out of the woods and gradually approached the camp.

At this time, the anti-smuggling police officers in the barracks rushed out, but they were inevitably met with head-on blows, and they suddenly became a pot of porridge, and police officers continued to fall in the rain of bullets.

The disparity in strength and the unsuspecting surprise attack, Wang Xiangdong no longer had a chance to rush to the barracks, and at the same time shouted loudly: "I am Wang Xiangdong, all obey my orders!" Gather in squads, retreat while fighting, don't be afraid to waste bullets, shoot Lao Tzu! ”

Wang Xiangdong reluctantly organized anti-smuggling policemen, and while shooting to block the attack to gain time, he demolished the back wall of the barracks and retreated to the county seat of Dingnan.

That night, the anti-smuggling police team suffered nearly 100 casualties, and hundreds of detained smugglers and millions of oceans of smuggled goods were robbed.

The next day, when the news spread, it caused an uproar.

"Why are smugglers so rampant?"

"This may be a backlash from foreign merchant forces!"

"The Waterloo of the dictatorship!"

......

Various Chinese and foreign newspapers reported this important event with all kinds of exaggerated rhetoric, which caused disturbance for a time and attracted the attention of the Chinese people.

On December 17, after the Secret Service Department received information confirming the perpetrator of the robbery, the Autonomous Government of the Southern United Province immediately issued a telegram and announced it, ordering the Guangdong Metropolitan Government to hand over the heads of the business groups involved in the case and compensate for the losses, otherwise it would take necessary measures.

Long Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong, sent a telegram calling on the autonomous government of the southern provinces to exercise restraint, saying that he would investigate clearly and bring the murderers to justice.

On December 18, Yuan Shikai issued a telegram demanding that the autonomous government of the southern province not act recklessly, and in the name of the central government, set up an investigation team to go south to investigate the 12.15 robbery.

On 23 December, the central investigation team spent only half a day conducting a formalistic investigation and determined that the robbery was committed by bandit Sanzhangqing, who traveled between northern Guangdong and southern Jiangxi. The autonomous government of the Southern United Province immediately angrily denounced the central investigation team for referring to the deer as a horse, and expressed its resolute rejection of the results of this absurd child's play.

On December 25, the autonomous government of the Southern United Province issued an ultimatum to the Guangdong Governor's Office, limiting Long Jiguang to arrest the perpetrator of the 12.15 robbery within three days.

Immediately, Yuan Shikai also sent a telegram saying that if the autonomous government of the southern provinces insisted on going its own way, then the Beiyang Army would have to send troops south to maintain the sanctity and justice of the country's laws!

War, on the verge of breaking out! (To be continued.) )
