Chengdu, Sichuan Military Government Office Building. ＋

In the large conference room, Hu Jingyi was dressed in a straight military uniform, and the short black hair on his head was neatly combed and shiny, and he waved his hand domineeringly from time to time, and spoke eloquently and forcefully: "Since Peng Guanglie is desperate for Sun Wen and other Kuomintang bandits, and is unwilling to let the 2nd Division accept the reorganization of the military government, then there is no need to talk about the old feelings!"

Accumulate it, you will lead the 4th Division to block the traffic arteries around Chengdu and block the escape of the 2nd Division! ”

Liu Cunhou stood up and responded, "Yes, Overseer!" ”

"Ji Shan (Zhou Junzi), you will lead the 1st Division to surround the barracks of the 2nd Division, and issue an ultimatum to Peng Guanglie, limiting him to order the 2nd Division to lay down its arms and accept the reorganization within two days, otherwise the 2nd Division will be dealt with by military law for the crime of secretly colluding with the Kuomintang and banditry!"

Zhou Jun stood up and responded, "Yes, Overseer!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, at the time of the founding of the Republic of China and the chaos of the Kuomintang bandits, we should work together to wipe out the bandits, so as to live up to President Yuan's teachings and the ardent expectations of the 40 million Sichuan fathers and villagers!"

Hu Jingyi's right hand clenched his fist, the slogan was impassioned, and the whole person looked ...... Well, domineering side leaks!

At this time, there was a sudden noisy commotion outside the window of the large conference room, and someone was faintly heard shouting: "Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army...... The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was electrified against Yuan! ”

There seemed to be a gust of cold wind blowing in the entire conference room, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped from a hundred degrees hot just now to an icy cold of nearly zero degrees.

Hu Jingyi's expression froze, and he maintained the posture of clenching his fist with his right hand and did not move, as if the whole person was frozen.

The eerie silence of the conference room lasted only a moment, as it wasn't long before a communications soldier pushed open the door in a panic and trotted in.

"Overseer...... Overseer, Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army...... The electrification of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army! The communications soldier gasped and handed Hu Jingyi a piece of paper.

Hu Jingyi, who had been frozen for a long time, came back to his senses, took the telegram and looked at it, his expression was shocked, and he sat back in his chair, his face full of unacceptability: "It's true, the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army has really telegraphed against President Yuan!" ”

As soon as these words came out, if the whole conference room exploded, all the officers talked about it, and most of them were worried and worried. They thought that if they stood on the side of the powerful Beiyang Army, they would definitely win, and they just had to wait easily to enjoy the fruits of victory. But who would have thought that as soon as the skirt of this goddess of victory was lifted, she would be slapped on the head by the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, which could not but make them worry and frustrated.

Hu Jingyi is an old fox after all, but he was suddenly hit by the news that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army telegraphed against Yuan, and he quickly reacted and understood that it would be absolutely impossible to continue to let these people in the conference room go on like this.

Syllable!

Hu Jingyi slapped the table and shouted, "Okay, quiet!" Since the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army openly opposed President Yuan and participated in the rebellion of the Kuomintang bandits, it was self-defeating! ”

Hu Jingyi drank so much, and carried out Yuan Shikai's town, the effect was still very significant, at least no one in the conference room was talking about it messily.

At this time, Liu Cunhou stood up and said: "Overseer, I think that the top priority is to integrate all the troops in Chengdu as soon as possible and prepare to meet the revolutionary army in southern Sichuan. At the same time, ask President Yuan for help! ”

Zhou Jun also said: "That's right, since the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army has sent a telegram, it must have sent troops." If they travel lightly, they will be able to reach the outskirts of Chengdu in 4 or 5 days. But if they had already sent troops, they might not be able to fight in 4, 3 or 2 days. Time is running out, and we must act as soon as possible! ”

Expecting that the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army would be so stupid that it would be impossible to send troops after sending a telegram, Hu Jingyi settled down and said: "In this case, it is appropriate for you to lead the 4th Division to block the attack, and try to delay more time on our side." As long as the integration of the various troops in Chengdu is completed, I will immediately lead the troops to support you! ”

"Yes, I'm going to gather the troops and set off now!" Liu Cunhou simply accepted this hard work, which was likely to lose a lot, because he knew that he had no room to refuse.

Although the 4th Division, under the leadership of Liu Cunhou, surrendered to Hu Jingyi, there were still many young officers in the 4th Division who were picked up by Yin Changheng, so they were not trusted by Hu Jingyi. The task of blocking is indeed hard work and tiring work, and in the face of the powerful revolutionary army in southern Sichuan, it is likely to suffer heavy casualties, but if you don't go, you will definitely not escape the end of being purged.

After Liu Cunhou left, Hu Jingyi ordered Zhou Jun again: "Ji Shan, you immediately lead the 1st Division to forcibly disarm the 2nd Division, if you disobey, you will be killed!" In addition, Sun Dagui, the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division, is our person, and I will let him defect to you on the spot! Remember, move fast, and it's better to pay a certain price for casualties than to delay time! ”

"Understood, I will disarm the 2nd Division as quickly as possible!" Zhou Jun received the order and saluted Hu Jingyi, and then left with a vote of officers from the 1st Division.

"The rest of the people do their jobs and give priority to ensuring the supply of military supplies!" Hu Jingyi waved his hand and asked everyone to go back to their posts.

On the surface, Hu Jingyi seems to be calm and well-arranged. In fact, he was very aware of the panic and frustration in his heart, and he held on so hard without revealing it, just because he was worried that these people who had just taken refuge in him would lose faith in him and then turn against him.

The strength of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is not clear to others, but how could he not know that he had fought with them in Chongqing, he was really not sure that he would defeat the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army with these troops at hand that had not yet been integrated.

No, you have to ask for help, ask President Yuan for help!

Yes, just do it, I can't care so much, I must ask the Beiyang Army to enter Sichuan!

Hu Jingyi seemed to have made up his mind, and hurriedly walked towards the Chengdu telegraph station.

In less than half a day, the news of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army's telegram against Yuan spread throughout Chengdu, and all walks of life in Chengdu were immediately shocked, and the vast majority of people realized that war would soon befall them.

For a time, Chengdu was in chaos.

Peng Guanglie, who has always paid attention to such key news, naturally knew it for the first time.

"It is still the father and son of the Wang family who have the courage to call against President Yuan. Brother Blue Wolf, aren't you young marshal afraid of the Beiyang Army entering Sichuan? Peng Guanglie said to the blue wolf who came to his house to report the news.

The blue wolf said in a cold voice: "Master Peng, I advise you to think more about how you deal with Hu Jingyi's encirclement and suppression now. As soon as the telegram of our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was issued, Hu Jingyi must have known that our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army would send troops to Chengdu, and he would inevitably attack your 2nd Division in advance, so as to integrate forces to meet our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army! ”

Peng Guanglie also understood that the current situation was grim, and said: "You are right, the person surnamed Hu must be jumping in a hurry now, maybe he is already mobilizing troops to surround him." ”

As he was talking, Peng Guanghui hurriedly ran in: "Oh no, big brother!" Oh no, Zhou Jun's turtle son's 1st division is coming to our side! ”

"Panic, I know!" Peng Guanglie took out a map of Chengdu from the cabinet next to him to check it.

Peng Guanglie was unhurried, but Peng Guanghui was anxious: "Big brother, when is it, what map are you looking at, let's hurry up and take the guard battalion out of the city to gather the brothers of the first regiment and the second regiment, and retreat to the west, and it is not too late to come back after the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army and Hu Jingyi have finished fighting." ”

"Nope! We can't withdraw! Peng Guanglie rejected Peng Guanghui's proposal and said, "Hu Jingyi must have troops outside the city to surround us, once we fall into their heavy siege outside the city, we won't last long and our entire army will be wiped out!" ”

"Then what should I do, is it difficult to sit and wait for death?" Peng Guanghui looked depressed.

Peng Guanglie's face showed a hint of fierceness, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Transfer all our troops into the city and rely on a few nearby streets to build a defensive line. Lao Tzu didn't believe it, and the turtle son surnamed Hu dared to shoot in the city. As long as the artillery of the 1st Division does not work, it will be much easier for us to hold on! ”

"What! Bring all our troops into the city? Peng Guanghui was taken aback, he didn't expect Peng Guanglie to make such a move to put him to death, if he didn't do it well, he would probably be trapped in the city.

This trick is indeed ruthless enough, and it also hits the key point of Hu Jingyi. Hu Jingyi took refuge in Beiyang and bribed the generals of the army to sit in the position of governor of Sichuan, and he did not have much prestige. If he dares to open artillery bombardment in the city, destroy people's houses and kill and injure the people of Chengdu, even if he survives the South Sichuan Revolutionary Army, he will only be knocked out of power by the hateful and angry Chengdu people.

Peng Guanglie didn't care about Peng Guanghui's shock, and turned his head to the blue wolf who was also nervous on the side and asked, "Brother blue wolf, I don't know where the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army has arrived now, and how long will it take to reach Chengdu at the earliest?" ”

Blue Wolf shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm just a member of the Secret Service Operations Team, and I don't have permission to know about these situations. ”

Peng Guanglie was very disappointed, and asked again: "Then can I trouble you to tell you the current situation of my 2nd Division, and tell him that I can only hold out for two or three days at most, and hope that he can lead the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army to come over as soon as possible." As long as I can get off my 2nd Division, I am willing to support Wang Dashuai as the governor of Sichuan! ”

"I can help you get the word back, but what the specifics are, it will be up to the young marshal's decision!" The blue wolf said.

Peng Guanglie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then shouted to Peng Guanghui: "Third brother, you go to the camp now, drop all the brothers in the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 3rd regiments who are still willing to follow me into the city, and organize the troops to block the 1st Division while urgently building a defensive line!" ”

When Peng Guanghui heard the order, he immediately trotted away and went to mobilize troops into the city.

Looking at Peng Guanghui who was leaving, Peng Guanglie sighed slightly, sometimes he really wanted to take refuge in Hu Jingyi. However, because he was lucky and felt that there was still a chance to remain independent, he rejected Hu Jingyi's solicitation many times, which was considered to have completely disgusted Hu Jingyi. Moreover, even if he defected to Hu Jingyi, he would have to face the more powerful Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in the blink of an eye.

Now that the situation is developing, there is really no room for a small army leader like him to survive and develop, I hope that the father and son of the Wang family will not unload the mill and kill the donkey.
