The 6th Division of the Sichuan Army was slowly marching on the official road near Zizhong County, and the ranks were a little scattered. ☆ → many soldiers and even officers have loose military discipline, if it weren't for the fact that the team of supervisors sent by Xiong Kewu came over from time to time to supervise the march, otherwise the team would have dispersed a long time ago.

Most of the 6th Division was composed of Brother Pao's team, so they were a little resistant to obeying the orders of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in this battle, after all, they had all heard of Wang Mo's suppression of Brother Pao in Chongqing.

During the march at this moment, these robe buddies also talked about it.

"Ge Laozi, I still have to be in such a hurry on this hot day, Lao Tzu doesn't understand, why does Master Xiong take us to work for a turtle son like the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army!"

"Brother, let's open something. Look at this brand-new Hanyang made in your hand, I heard that it was specially sent by the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in order to invite our 6th Division to send troops, there are 2,000 of them! ”

"That's right, forget it. After all, taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, our brothers are rules. ”

"It's not that simple, let me tell you two, I heard that Mr. Sun ordered Division Commander Xiong to give a hand to the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and then deal with Yuan Shikai together."

"Mr. Sun's order, no wonder Division Commander Xiong will agree to open the way for the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army."

……

The commander of the 6th Division rode a war horse, looked at the team whose speed had almost moved, looked displeased, and said in a deep voice to the herald beside him: "Go down the order, speed up, and if there is any slackness, the military law will deal with it!" ”

"Yes!"

The herald had just turned to leave, when the ground suddenly shook, and a loud bang was heard not far away.

Boom -

The war horse was frightened and almost didn't lift Xiong Kewu off the horse.

Xiong Kewu, who finally reined in the war horse, immediately shouted loudly: "Which **? ”

The officers around Xiong Kewu were also confused and didn't know how to answer. However, at this time, a soldier in front of the official road galloped on a horse, jumped down in front of Xiong Kewu, and saluted and reported: "Report to the division commander, our unit has encountered an unknown enemy surprise attack, the enemy firepower is very fierce, Commander Cui asks for support!" ”

"Ge Laozi, the turtle son surnamed Hu really sent troops to stop it!" Xiong Kewu cursed, and then shouted to the troops behind him, "Brothers, speed up and go with Lao Tzu to support the brothers of the first group!" ”

Xiong Kewu had originally planned to concentrate most of the division to wipe out the blocking force in one fell swoop, but only a quarter of an hour after arriving at the front line of battle, he had to throw this idea into the Pacific Ocean. The reason is very simple, because it was his 6th Division that was being pressed and beaten at the moment, and the enemy troops blocking it had fierce firepower, and there was at least one division of troops.

"Turtle son's, this seems to be Liu Cunhou's 4th division!" Xiong Kewu understood that this was not an opponent that the 6th Division could deal with alone, so he immediately called a signal soldier and ordered, "You hurry to the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army now, tell them that my 6th Division is under fierce attack by Liu Cunhou's 4th Division, and ask them to reinforce as soon as possible!" ”

It was a matter of life and death for the 6th Division, and the communications soldiers did not dare to slack off, and immediately turned on their horses and galloped away in the direction of Neijiang.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-

Dada-

Boom-boom-boom-

The sounds of rifles, machine guns, and artillery mingled together, and the battle became more and more intense.

"Go, move out all the new electric guns and mortars that Lao Tzu bought! Fight back, fight back to Lao Tzu immediately! Xiong Kewu yelled with a hideous face.

The 6th Division of the Sichuan Army quickly used the heavy machine guns and mortars that had just been purchased from Wang Mo to suppress the fire points of the 4th Division and launched a ferocious counterattack.

Xiong Kewu led the 6th Division to fight fiercely in Zizhong, while Wang Mo was leading the Chongqing Independent Division and the 5th Division led by Wang Haoshan to successfully meet in Neijiang at this time.

It was the first time that the two troops had met, and almost all of the soldiers below had the intention of secretly competing. There are many veterans of the 5th Division, and some of them despise the recruits of the Independent Division, while the soldiers of the Independent Division think that their side of the military discipline and military appearance are superior, and the 5th Division is nothing remarkable.

If a soldier fights and does not have the heart of a strong army, then no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, it is impossible to become a truly strong army.

"Mo'er, your training is really good, it seems that it was really right to let you go to Chongqing to train in the first place. The independent division can have this spirit, maybe even the 5th division is not an opponent. Wang Haoshan said with a smile that his impression of the independent division is still very good.

Although this is just a father's encouragement and praise for his son, Hao Gang still said very unhappily: "Dashuai, I don't agree with this, can those recruits and young children of the independent division beat our 5th division?" Young marshal, if you are not convinced, let's pull the team to compare, how about it? ”

Is there anything to compete with, Wang Mo smiled bitterly, and said again and again: "Yes...... Uncle Hao is right that most of the independent divisions are new recruits, and they have to experience several times on the battlefield. ”

While several people were talking, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the official road in the distance, and a soldier wearing the uniform of the 6th Division of the Sichuan Army galloped on horseback, but was soon stopped by the soldiers of the 5th Division, collected his weapons and brought them to Wang Haoshan and others.

As soon as he saw Wang Haoshan, the soldier of the 6th Division, who was covered in dust, shouted anxiously: "Wang Dashuai, our 6th Division was attacked by Liu Cunhou's 4th Division in Zizhong, and Division Commander Xiong implored Wang Dashuai to send reinforcements as soon as possible!" ”

"It was actually Liu Cunhou's 4th Division who came to block the attack, and Hu Jingyi spent a lot of money in order to drag us down." Wang Haoshan was a little surprised and surprised, the strength of the 4th Division was not weak, especially the artillery that Yin Changheng purchased from them that time, and some of the equipment was also given to the 4th Division.

"That's not right, we can take the opportunity to eat the 4th Division, don't the young marshal always say that...... Do you break each one? Dashuai, let's fight the vanguard in a group, and ensure that Liu Cunhou's turtle son cries and calls his mother! Hao Gang said excitedly, this thing is definitely a war fanatic, and he is excited when he hears that there is a war to be fought.

At this time, Li Jian, the commander of the second regiment on the side of the independent division, stood up and said: "Marshal, young marshal, I think we need to be cautious, after all, in order to speed up the march, neither of our two divisions has brought artillery regiments over, and we may suffer a loss in firepower." ”

"The recruit is the recruit baby, and there will be no war without the artillery regiment?" Hao Gang pursed his lips, very unimpressed by the cautious retreat of the young officers of the Independent Division.

"You ......" Li Jian was also angered by Hao Gang's attitude, and shouted angrily, "You are irresponsible for the lives of your brothers, and in the face of the enemy's powerful firepower, you have to rush forward with your head covered, how many brothers will be killed or injured?" ”

The expression on Hao Gang's face at this time was even more disdainful, and said: "Tender baby, you have to figure it out, this is war, how can there be immortals in war?" ”

"Okay, what's the noise!" Wang Haoshan stopped the quarrel between the two, especially warned Hao Gang with a sharp look, and then asked Wang Mo, "Mo'er, how do you think we should deal with it?" ”

As soon as Wang Haoshan asked, everyone else turned their eyes to Wang Mo, including Hao Gang, who shouted that he was going to kill the two goods directly, and he also pricked up his ears to listen to what Wang Mo said. Along the way, Wang Mo's strategic deployment and tactical arrangements have already passed through one brilliant victory after another to all the officers of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

Wang Mo did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Fight, you must fight!" Not only to fight, but it is better to completely annihilate the 4th Division, otherwise let them escape back to Chengdu, and it will be much more troublesome for us to solve him again! ”

As soon as these words came out, Hao Gang looked at Li Jian triumphantly, with a provocative look in his eyes, and suddenly became so angry that Li Jian's eyes were full of anger.

"Still." Wang Mo's tone changed, and he continued, "The artillery team of the 4th Division is indeed a problem, and if we attack head-on, we will pay a lot of casualties. Therefore, I suggest that a large army rush over from the official road to support Xiong Kewu head-on and attract Liu Cunhou's attention, but secretly send a group of men and horses to detour from the side of the 4th Division from the small road and directly attack the artillery positions they have placed in the rear! ”

Wang Haoshan was overjoyed and said: "Okay, just do it, in a hurry, Liu Cunhou can't notice that we are missing a group of people." ”

Hao Gang immediately stood up and asked for battle: "Marshal, let me take a regiment to ensure that Liu Cunhou's turtle son's artillery team is eliminated!" ”

Not to be outdone, Li Jian stood up and asked for battle: "Marshal, young marshal, I request to take the Second Regiment of the Independent Division to end Liu Cunhou's artillery team, this kind of agile and flexible combat method is more suitable for our Independent Division!" ”

Wang Mo very much agrees with Li Jian's statement, the officers of the independent division are all soldiers of the former special operations battalion, and they are extremely skilled in this kind of tactical action interspersed with side attacks.

Whether they can finish off Liu Cunhou's artillery team is the key to whether they can completely annihilate the 4th Division at a small cost, so Wang Mo crossed Wang Haoshan and ordered: "Don't fight, this combat method is indeed more familiar to independent divisions." Lu Dayong, you will lead a regiment of the Independent Division to take the path and intersperse the flank of the 4th Division, and finish off their artillery team! ”

In order to avoid Hao Gang's trouble, Wang Mo did not let Li Jian perform this task, but chose Lu Dayong.

Sure enough, although Hao Gang was very unhappy, he did not give up after all.

Lu Dayong went out to take the military order, and then led the first regiment of the independent division to set off.

Then, Wang Mo asked someone to call the soldier of the 6th Division just now, and said: "You go back now and tell you Division Commander Xiong that if Liu Cunhou shows signs of retreating, you must entangle him to the death, and when my 5th Division and the Independent Division arrive, the 4th Division will be encircled and annihilated in one fell swoop!" ”

At this time, you can see the role of the cannon fodder troops, with Xiong Kewu's 6th Division entangled Liu Cunhou in front, and the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army could calmly encircle the 4th Division.

Xiong Kewu's 6th Division will inevitably suffer heavy casualties?

Wang Moke didn't care, and would even be happy to see Xiong Kewu's 6th Division suffer heavy casualties, this is the fate of the cannon fodder troops. No matter how angry Xiong Kewu is, as long as he still hopes that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army will agree to the Kuomintang to send troops to Hubei, then he can only endure it.

Unconsciously, Wang Mo found that he was becoming more and more black-hearted, and this era was really changing him more and more.
