Chapter 052: The Smoke Clears

Boom - Boom -

When the overwhelming shells of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army hit the head of the 3rd Division, Sun Zhaoluan finally experienced Peng Guanglie's previous feelings. … ≦ every shelling was like a sharp knife, piercing him fiercely into his heart.

What is even more infuriating is that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is actually just staring at the 3rd Division and beating it violently, and even the already overstretched troops are tilted towards the side of the 3rd Division, even if the 4th Division has rushed into the position several times to start a white-knuckle battle, it is not moved at all.

If possible, Sun Zhaoluan wanted to drag Wang Haoshan out, and roared and asked: "Grass, grandma, can you turtle son not be so endless, always thinking of dying with others?" always puts on a posture of pulling a cushion even if he dies, can he not be so rogue? ”

It's a pity that Wang Mo didn't know Sun Zhaoluan's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely give him a positive answer: "It's definitely more shameless and rogue than you imagined!" ”

In just half a day, the casualty figure of the 3rd Division exceeded 1,000, and it was still increasing rapidly, which made Sun Zhaoluan so distressed that he didn't dare to raise his telescope to observe the scene of the 3rd Division's attacking troops being bombed indiscriminately on the battlefield.

At the end of the day's fighting, when Sun Zhaoluan received the more than 2,000 casualties reported by his subordinates, he was almost so distressed that he didn't lose his breath. That night, Sun Zhaoluan informed Liu Cunhou that the 3rd Division would withdraw from the battle, even though Liu Cunhou repeatedly promised that it would only take one day at most for the 4th Division to break through the defense line of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

The dog will jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, and Sun Zhaoluan doesn't want to die with them as far as the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is showing now. Besides, what if the 4th Division can break through the defense line of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army? If the revolutionary army in southern Sichuan cannot be severely damaged or encircled, then it will be meaningless.

If the defense line cannot be held, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army can still retreat to Luzhou City to hold on, and it will be even more difficult to fight at that time. The question is not here, but if the 4th Division is to break through the defense line of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, how many casualties will the 3rd Division have to pay?

Sun Zhaoluan didn't dare to think or think about it, and insisted that if it weren't for the joint attack of the three divisions, then the 3rd Division would definitely no longer participate in the attack.

Peng Guanglie and Sun Zhaoluan picked their sons one after another, leaving only the 4th Division alone, and Liu Cunhou had the intention to kill the thief, and he had no power to return to the sky. In desperation, Liu Cunhou could only stop attacking.

After that, the two sides did not fire a single shot, and the confrontation began.

This battle is mostly here, and the rest is settled at the negotiating table by the people above.

After the news was transmitted back to Luzhou, the citizens of Luzhou cheered and celebrated. Since the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army held on, it meant that the war would not come to Luzhou again.

The destructive power of war, everyone knows. The terrible thing about the military disaster is that everyone in Luzhou City who is older is afraid. Once the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is defeated and foreign troops enter Luzhou, it is not certain that the ground will be scraped and scraped into something. The most worrying about this are the dozen or so factories that have flourished in the past few months.

Well, now, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army has won. Luzhou City finally returned to normal operation, working and working, doing business, going to the teahouse, chatting and farting, and boasting about the "insider" of the war.

Although it successfully defended, the price paid by the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was not small, with more than 3,000 casualties, and almost all the first and second regiments were disabled. If the defense line of this battle had not been placed near Fushun, I am afraid that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army would have been unable to hold out and retreat.

There were too many wounded, and the medical conditions in the surrounding area of Fushun could not accommodate as many as 2,000 wounded people, so Wang Haoshan, who was exhausted, had to find Wang Mo and asked: "Mo'er, didn't you set up a hospital in Luzhou City, can you arrange for the injured brothers to be treated over there." ”

Wang Mo said with a bitter face: "Yes, but father, Luzhou Hospital probably doesn't have enough manpower to treat so many people." On top of that, there aren't so many medicines to treat injuries. ”

Wang Haoshan waved his hand and said: "There are not enough people, just temporarily recruit doctors from all over the country, and let the people of the Luzhou Security Corps help to help." As for the lack of medicines, just spend money to buy them. In any case, no matter how costly, the wounded brothers must be healed! ”

Wang Mo spread his hands: "I have no money, in order to fight this war, I have already used all the funds on hand to buy weapons and ammunition." ”

Wang Mo was also helpless, in the past, he bought arms for the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and reported to Wang Haoshan the market price, so as to intercept a large amount of money to do what he wanted to do. However, a while ago, a large sum of money was spent on education, and a lot of money was spent on supporting more than a dozen factories, and his pockets were already scraped clean.

Wang Haoshan did not hesitate at all, and waved his hand: "Then take out the reserve funds in the treasury of Zhenfu Mansion and contact the commercial bank to buy medicines as soon as possible." I still say that no matter how great the cost, all the wounded brothers must be healed! ”

The warlord is good at this point, and whatever he wants to do, there is no need to go through consultation and coordination from all parties, and Wang Haoshan can completely decide in a word. With a wave of his hand, the personnel, money, and materials of all departments must be concentrated on the treatment of the wounded, which is absolutely efficient.

Since Wang Haoshan was willing to withdraw the last reserve funds in the treasury of Fufu in southern Sichuan, Wang Mo of course did not hesitate, and immediately arranged a stretcher team and a mule and horse convoy to give priority to sending the seriously injured to Luzhou Hospital for treatment. At the same time, he asked President Cheng of Luzhou Hospital to prescribe a list of required medicines, and then arranged for people to go to a foreign bank in Hankou overnight to procure them.

……

Chengdu, Overseer's Mansion.

Yin Changheng held the telegram of the front-line troops requesting reinforcements and ammunition supplies in his hand, his forehead was bruised, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of anger.

Tear it up—

Yin Changheng tore the telegram in his hand to shreds, slapped the table violently, and scolded angrily: "Bastard, what do Peng Guanglie and Sun Zhaoluan want to do, is this disobedience?" ”

"The Overseer's anger, I'm afraid that the 2nd and 3rd Divisions suffered a lot of casualties, otherwise Peng Guanglie and Sun Zhaoluan would never have the courage to disobey the Overseer's military orders." Zhou Jun, the commander of the 1st Division, said that he knew very well what Peng Guanglie and Sun Zhaoluan were worried about, and he was so anxious that the two might turn against the Overseers.

Yin Changheng snorted coldly, and scolded angrily: "The casualties are not small? Three divisions of nearly 30,000 troops, is the guy in his hand a burning stick? Against the South Sichuan Revolutionary Army of a few thousand people, there is a fart casualty! ”

Zhou Jun was also very puzzled, according to common sense, as long as the 30,000 army charged like that, it should not be a problem to easily defeat the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army. Could it be that the firepower of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was really so strong, not only able to withstand the onslaught of the 30,000-strong army, but also inflicted heavy casualties on the 2nd and 3rd Divisions?

Before Zhou Jun could say anything, Yin Changheng asked again: "Zhou Jun, now that you are leading the 1st Division to send troops to southern Sichuan, can you annihilate the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army and level the southern Sichuan region?" ”

Zhou Jun glanced at Yin Changheng's face and assured without hesitation: "Please rest assured, if the 1st Division is led by the humble post to send troops to southern Sichuan, it will definitely completely annihilate the southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army and sweep the southern Sichuan region for the overseers!" ”

Zhou Jun's words are not an exaggeration, the 1st Division was reorganized from the original 17th Town, and its combat effectiveness was the strongest among the four divisions in Chengdu, and it was easy to clean up a half-crippled Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

Yin Changheng paced back and forth in the room, thinking for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "Forget it, the 1st Division is going to sit in Chengdu, and it can't be left lightly." In the unlikely event that the 1st Division sent troops to southern Sichuan, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army urgently organized a unit in Chongqing to raid Chengdu, it would be a big trouble. Telegraphed Peng Guanglie, Sun Zhaoluan, and Liu Cunhou to let them withdraw their troops. The military government will arrange for people to negotiate with Wang Haoshan to resolve the relevant matters in southern Sichuan and Chongqing. ”

Peng Guanglie, Sun Zhaoluan, and Liu Cunhou had no intention of continuing to confront the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and after receiving Yin Changheng's telegram order to withdraw their troops, they simply withdrew their camps and retreated.

Before leaving, Peng Guanglie looked at the position of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army not far away with a complicated expression. Because of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, he killed and wounded thousands of brothers. According to common sense, in fact, it is true, he hates the South Sichuan Revolutionary Army to the root of his teeth, but at the same time, he admonishes himself in his heart not to hold a grudge and hatred against the South Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

"This time it's the turtle grandsons of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, big brother, when will we find an opportunity to kill back and avenge those thousands of brothers!" It was Peng Guanglie's brother Peng Guanghui who spoke.

"Third child, I also want to eradicate the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army and avenge the brothers. However, I am afraid that we may not have this opportunity. Peng Guanglie's eyes dimmed.

"Why? Let's go back to our hometown and recruit troops and horses again, and regroup, I don't believe that we can't kill this revolutionary army in southern Sichuan! Peng Guanghui was very emotional.

Peng Guanglie shook his head and said, "Third brother, you don't understand, in fact, this battle is the best and last chance to annihilate the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army." In the future, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, not to mention our 2nd Division, is only one division, even if the 3rd Division or even the 4th Division is combined, it may not be able to win the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army. ”

Peng Guanghui retorted a little stubbornly: "Impossible, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is just to take eastern Sichuan, so what, it's just a big deal to pull up another miscellaneous division." As long as Chengdu is willing to exert its strength to the death, I don't believe that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army cannot be exterminated! ”

"Confused, if you are still so short-sighted, then our 2nd Division will be finished sooner or later!" Peng Guanglie scolded sharply, he is not Sun Zhaoluan's big boss, although he usually behaves rudely and irritablely, but he still has the necessary scheming city, otherwise he would not be able to climb up to this position.

Peng Guanghui was scolded by Peng Guanglie so sharply that he shrank his head, but he still said reluctantly: "I just don't understand, why can't I seek revenge from the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in the future." ”

"After this battle, Wang Haoshan and Yin Dujun can also fight separately. Who knows who will be in Sichuan in the future? Before the situation became clear, it was better for our 2nd Division not to make any moves. After Peng Guanglie finished speaking, he turned around and left, and led his troops to retreat that day.

After the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Sichuan Army withdrew from southern Sichuan, the southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army also quickly withdrew to Luzhou City, and the war officially ended.
