Lin Xue'er didn't return to Lin's house in the end, Lin Yun'er decided to tell their parents that Lin Xue'er was still alive first, and what to do depends on their parents' opinions.

Wang Mo has nothing to say, to say that he is now very accustomed to Lin Xue'er, a personal maid. As for what the Lin family decided to do in the end, it was their housework, and he didn't want to interfere indiscriminately and make people suspicious.

Because he was worried that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army would suffer losses when it encountered the Yunnan Army, Wang Mo temporarily put aside the construction of Western-style schools and hurried to join the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

After contacting the logistics team that returned to Fushun to transport supplies, Wang Mo learned that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was now facing off with the Dian Army on the outskirts of Yibin, and occasionally skirmishes broke out, and there was no full-scale war yet.

The Yunnan army that entered Sichuan was very annoyed that it was blocked by the southern Sichuan revolutionary army, and after many days of testing, it was finally ready to launch a general offensive and defeat the southern Sichuan revolutionary army in one fell swoop.

On the outskirts of Yibin, Han Jianduo, commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army and commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army, held an operational meeting.

"It's been five days, and we've been blocked here by the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army for five whole days. Even such a small revolutionary army in southern Sichuan can't clean it up, and the face of the Dian army has been lost by you, so what are you talking about entering Sichuan to aid the revolution? All the fucking shit! Han Jianduo pointed to the stinking scolding of the participating Yunnan army officers, which shows the extent of the dissatisfaction in his heart.

A group of officers of the Yunnan Army, who had always been arrogant, were scolded so much that they couldn't raise their heads, only the chief of staff Zhang Lijun stared at the pressure and said: "Commander-in-Chief is angry, the brothers underestimated the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army before, and they didn't expect that a small Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army also had an artillery battalion, and they suffered a little loss when they were caught off guard. I believe that with the commander-in-chief's strategy, the brothers are fully prepared to take down a small revolutionary army in southern Sichuan! ”

Han Jianduo's face softened slightly, and asked: "Is it clear whether the reconnaissance is clear, where is the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and after the battle started, the artillery regiment must have cleaned up their artillery battalion first." Without the fire support of the artillery battalion, the strength of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army would have been lost by at least half. ”

Feng Chen, the commander of the artillery regiment, said helplessly with a bitter face: "Commander-in-chief, I'm afraid this is very difficult to do, according to the situation of the artillery battle in the past few days and the news of the reconnaissance team, the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is equipped with a kind of small-caliber artillery that can be carried around by one person, so their artillery battalion can be transferred around at any time." I really don't know where the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army got these strange cannons, I've never heard of them before. ”

Xie Ruyi, the commander of the first echelon, also complained: "That's right, the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is the most troublesome, like a ghost, I don't know when and where it will appear, so we have suffered a lot of losses." ”

Li Hongxiang, the commander of the second echelon, also said: "As long as it can be solved, or the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army can be suppressed, the second echelon regiment will be led to defeat the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in a battle." ”

Knock, knock, knock -

Han Jianduo tapped lightly on the table, pondered for a while, and then said: "Since the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is equipped with a small-caliber artillery that can be carried by one person, the range of this kind of artillery will definitely not be very far. In this case, we can ignore the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army. After the start of the war, using the cover of the artillery regiment's artillery fire, the whole army launched the most ferocious all-out general attack on the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in the shortest possible time, so that the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army would lose one and the other! ”

Zhang Lijun's eyes lit up, and he took the lead in singing praises: "The commander-in-chief is wise, as long as our army's all-round attack is so fierce that the artillery battalion of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army can't react, how can the small Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army be the opponent of our Yunnan Army!" ”

The rest of the officers present at the meeting were not slow to react, expressing their reverence and admiration for the commander-in-chief, and saying that they would definitely be able to defeat the revolutionary army in southern Sichuan in one battle.

After that, after deliberation and a detailed battle plan was formulated, the Dian army decided to launch a full-scale general attack on the southern Sichuan revolutionary army at dawn the next day.

The Yunnan army was busy sharpening its knives and preparing for war, and the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was not idle, so that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was doubly encouraged by the fact that the young marshal Wang Mo rushed over to participate in the battle, and brought a full thirty 75 mm Grusen mountain guns.

When the mule horse entered the barracks with a 75-mm Grusen mountain gun, it immediately caused a sensation in the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

Oh, my God!

There are so many cannons, the officers and soldiers of the Southern Sichuan Revolution have never seen so many cannons, looking at the shining metallic body and the huge muzzle of the black hole, you know that the power of these cannons is absolutely amazing!

"Oh my God, young marshal, how did you get so many cannons back?" Hao Gang touched the cannon for a while, and looked at the cannon for a while, and he was very excited.

Zhang Li was also full of smiles: "Haha, Ge Laozi, with these cannons, Lao Tzu can be arrogant when he sees how those turtle sons of the Dian army can be!" ”

"Marshal, with these thirty mountain artillery, it is recommended to launch a counterattack on the Dian army as soon as possible while the Dian army has not yet detected this situation!" Ge Changchun looked at the thirty shining Grusen mountain cannons, and suddenly felt more confident, and couldn't wait to ask for an all-out war.

Hao Gang immediately shouted: "Yes, yes, shoot and kill those turtle sons of the Dian army!" ”

"Okay, when will the counteroffensive be launched, and then we will discuss it after a combat meeting." Wang Haoshan waved his hand to signal that there was no need to worry, then turned his head and asked Wang Mo again, "Mo'er, I'm afraid these mountain cannons cost hundreds of thousands of oceans, where did you get the silver?" ”

Wang Mo smiled slightly: "Father, a few days ago, I got a large sum of money due to fate, and I will tell you about these things in private later." As for how much silver there is, I'll sell it for a little first, and I'll take it as a surprise to you. ”

"Haha, that's good, I'll wait for your surprise." Wang Haoshan was very happy, after his son came back from Baoding Military Academy, he was pleasantly surprised, and I believe that this time he will not be disappointed.

Rao is Wang Haoshan no matter how high he estimated, he couldn't imagine how big a surprise Wang Mo was talking about, so that after returning to the barracks and listening to Wang Mo's report on the specific situation of the completed operation, the surprise was too much, and it instantly turned into a fright.

"What? Mo'er, you took the Wild Wolf Special Operations Brigade to Chengdu to ransack the provincial treasury and loot the salt warehouse? Robbed almost 5 million taels of silver? You are too bold and reckless, if this news leaks out...... "Wang Haoshan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, once the news leaked out, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army will definitely be full of enemies in Sichuan.

The South Sichuan Revolutionary Army is far from being invincible in Sichuan, and even if it is really invincible, in the face of a comprehensive siege by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of allied troops throughout Sichuan, the South Sichuan Revolutionary Army has absolutely no hope of survival.

Wang Mo said confidently: "Father, rest assured, each special combat team member has been rewarded with 10,000 oceans, and their families are under my supervision, so there will be no problems." Even if the news is really leaked, don't worry, it is not so easy for all parties in Sichuan to join forces. Even if we really have to face the allied forces of Sichuan, there is nothing to fear, as long as we spend more money to expand our strength, we can defeat them. ”

Although Wang Mo confidently assured that there would be no problem, the worry on Wang Haoshan's face was still not alleviated in the slightest: "Can you fight or not, if the news of your ransacking of the treasury leaks out, then the reputation of our Wang family in Sichuan will be completely ruined." In any case, however, the force must be expanded as soon as possible and prepared. In this way, I immediately asked people to set up a recruiting point in Yibin, expand another regiment, and reorganize the current three battalions into two regiments. As for weapons and equipment, Mer, you contact your teacher Rachel to buy them as soon as possible, since you have money, don't be stingy, buy the best Western weapons this time. ”

The two regiments and six battalions of soldiers have a total of only about 3,000 people. It's not that Wang Haoshan doesn't want to recruit more soldiers and get tens of thousands of people, the key is that he doesn't have so many officers.

You must know that Wang Haoshan was just a small patrol battalion commander a few months ago, and he only had a hundred people under him. Even if all the 100 or so veterans were scattered to be grassroots officers, it was definitely not enough, not to mention that the 20th or 30th veterans had been sacrificed in these battles.

It seems that it is necessary to run a crash course for officers first, Wang Mo immediately thought of this, of course, it is also necessary to fight the Dian army before there is time to carry it out.

Subsequently, Wang Mo and Wang Haoshan mentioned the long-term plan of "education to rejuvenate Sichuan", although Wang Haoshan did not understand a little and felt that the cost of running a school was too much, but considering that the 5 million taels of silver were finally brought back by Wang Mo, under Wang Mo's strong request, he had to agree to allocate 1 million taels of silver to implement the "education to rejuvenate Sichuan" plan.

Time passed little by little, and neither the Dian Army nor the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army expected that the other side would have a decisive battle so soon, and both armies were secretly preparing for battle, trying to defeat each other in a battle.

Because of the preparations of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, the surprise attack of the Yunnan Army at dawn lost its suddenness and was fiercely counterattacked by the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

"Open the artillery, order the artillery regiment to open fire immediately, don't worry about the shells, all of them will be smashed out by Lao Tzu!" After Han Jianduo saw through the binoculars the failure of the surprise attack of his own troops, he hatefully gave the order for a full-scale artillery bombardment.

After receiving the order, more than 20 large and small mountain artillery pieces of the Yunnan Army Artillery Regiment immediately launched an indiscriminate bombardment of the positions of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

The fierce artillery bombardment was so heavy that the soldiers of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army did not dare to come out of the defensive artillery holes at all, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Dian Army immediately launched an all-out attack on the positions of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

"Quick, immediately organize an artillery battalion counterattack!" Wang Haoshan jumped to his feet and yelled in the headquarters that was shaken by the explosion.

Wang Mo immediately stood up: "Father, let me go, the artillery in the artillery battalion has not used the 75 mm Grusen Mountain Cannon, if you have my command, it will be better." ”

The artillery battalion was originally brought out by Wang Mo, and Wang Haoshan did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

Through the communication trench in the position, Wang Mo came to the artillery position set up by the artillery battalion.

"Listen to the parameters I said clearly, and immediately adjust the shelling Zhuyuan, quickly!" In order to save time, Wang Mo personally calculated the shelling data.

Dozens of artillerymen adjusted the shelling of the Zhuyuan, and carried the shells of the carrying shells.

After everything was ready, Wang Mo personally waved his flag and ordered: "Target the artillery position of the Yunnan army, fire three times in a row, open the cannon!" ”
