Chapter 043: Attacking from the West to the East (2)
"Quick, quick, speed up and retreat, don't fight!" Lu Dayong roared loudly, urging the soldiers of the 1st Special Operations Company to speed up their pace.
On the mountain path, Lu Dayong led a special operations company to flee desperately, raising countless dust along the way.
Bang-bang-bang
From time to time, bursts of gunfire were heard from the rear of the team of the 1st Special Operations Company, and at least thousands of soldiers and horses followed behind in a frenzied pursuit.
The unit that pursued the 1st Special Warfare Company was the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army, which began to pursue at dawn and kept biting the 1st Special Warfare Company.
"Turtle son, don't run away!"
"Run a hammer, have the courage to touch the camp in the middle of the night, and don't you dare to do it face-to-face now?"
"Chase, give Lao Tzu a hurry up, kill one, and reward two oceans! Catch the official and reward fifty oceans! ”
……
The officers and men of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army kept shouting while pursuing, spewing out all the foul words and swear words, greeting the soldiers of the 1st Special Warfare Company who were desperately fleeing in front of them.
The 1st Special Operations Company was not affected by these verbal attacks, and its pace became faster and faster, turning back from time to time to fire a shot, slightly delaying the opponent's pursuit.
On the top of the hill, Wang Mo lay on the ground, quietly watching the pursuit battle below, even if he saw the occasional soldiers of the special operations company being hit and injured by stray bullets, he was not moved at all.
The raid in the second half of last night caused the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions of the Sichuan Army to dispatch thousands of people to pursue them frantically, and Wang Mo immediately decided to let the three companies of the special operations battalion withdraw in three directions, attracting the enemy to divide his troops into pursuit. After making a big circle in the mountains and throwing off the pursuing troops, the second and third companies gathered at the predetermined location, and Wang Mo took the opportunity to set up an ambush circle.
According to the predetermined plan, what I did in a row was the hard work of the enemy like the one in front of me.
The enemy gradually entered the ambush circle, and Wang Mo's muzzle kept locking on the officer on horseback in the enemy army, with a focused expression.
A force of thousands of people, a long procession, finally completely entered the ambush circle.
"Hit!" Wang Mo pulled the trigger.
The bullet galloped away from the chamber and hit the officer on horseback in the head, and the officer who had been commanding the troops in pursuit with great vigor a moment ago was instantly killed, and his body fell to the ground.
Wang Mo's gunfire was the signal, and the second and third companies of special operations ambushed on the hills on the left and right appeared in unison and raised their guns to shoot.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-
Countless bullets poured down on the thousands of officers and soldiers crowded on the mountain paths, and there was no need to aim at all, and a single shot could take a life.
"There is an ambush, hidden, hidden!" The officers shouted loudly, trying to stop the riots in the troops.
The officers and men of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army were suddenly attacked, and they fell to both sides of the road, looking for cover in the rain of bullets, and gradually launched a counterattack.
Dada-da-da
On the hills on both sides, two electric guns opened fire, spitting out two chains of fire, sweeping towards the crowd below the hill, launching a crazy and bloody slaughter.
"Race the electric gun, it's the race electric gun, get down, all lie down!" An officer screamed in horror at the foot of the mountain.
Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns. Every veteran who has seen the power of machine guns understands the terrifying lethality of machine guns.
After the two electric guns fired, the officers and men of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army fell down in pieces like cutting wheat, and the blood instantly stained the land.
For Wang Mo, he can also buy heavy weapons like the electro gun from the industrial machine anytime and anywhere, as long as he doesn't let his subordinates find out, he can casually find an excuse to cover it up.
The Second and Third Special Warfare Companies fought enthusiastically, and the First Special Operations Company, which had been desperately fleeing in front just now, was not to be outdone, and turned around and killed them again, causing the officers and men of the Third Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army to run away.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" The officer, who narrowly escaped the sharpshooter's killing, ordered the troops to retreat.
The officers and men of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army opened fire for cover and retreated wildly, eventually leaving behind hundreds of corpses and fleeing in disarray.
After using an ambush to massacre hundreds of people from the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army, Wang Mo ordered the special operations battalion to retreat in the direction of Ziyang. The two electric guns were too heavy, affecting the marching speed of the special operations battalion, and Wang Mo did not regret it, and ordered them to be dismantled into parts and buried on the spot.
The pursuing troops of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions of the Sichuan Army returned to the barracks one after another, and Peng Guanglie, commander of the 2nd Division, was furious when he learned that the 3rd Regiment had been ambushed and suffered heavy losses.
……
Chongqing, fierce battles are raging.
The three main regiments of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army launched a fierce attack on Chongqing, and the powerful firepower hit the various units in Chongqing City unable to raise their heads, and the soldiers could only shrink behind the city wall and fire their guns indiscriminately.
If it weren't for Hu Jingyi's organization of a supervising team to suppress the city, I am afraid that these miscellaneous troops would have been unable to withstand the onslaught of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and would have collapsed and fled.
"Race stun gun, fire suppression, fire suppression!" Hao Gang roared wildly, his expression hideous.
The main shooter of the race gun didn't care that the barrel was not completely cooled, and hurriedly asked the deputy shooter to connect the bullet chain, manipulate the race stun gun, and fired wildly towards the city tower, causing the city wall to be littered with rubble.
Under the fierce strafing and suppression of more than a dozen electric guns, no soldier on the city tower dared to take the lead, and the soldiers who showed their bodies without paying attention would be torn to pieces by the chain of bullets that strafed.
"Brothers, rush with Lao Tzu!"
The time for the charge had come, and Hao Gang personally led a regiment of all men and horses to launch a fierce charge, and more than 2,000 officers and soldiers poured towards Chongqing City like a tide. At a glance, it is densely packed like a swarm of locusts.
However, just as a group of forwards approached the city gate, the defenders of the city, who had not dared to take the lead before, suddenly came out from behind the bunker and raised their guns to shoot.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-
Platoon guns rang out one after another, killing and wounding a large number of regiments of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.
Dada-da-da
Out of nowhere, a few more electric guns appeared, spitting out several tongues of fire, and launched a frenzied massacre of the officers and soldiers of the first regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.
Before Hao Gang organized the death squad to blow up the city gate, he was slaughtered by the soldiers defending the city.
At this time, the rear command command came with an order to retreat, and in desperation, Hao Gang had to lead a regiment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army to retreat, and another attack failed.
Looking at the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army that receded like a tide, Hu Jingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked down, he saw the wounded soldiers all over the city tower, and he frowned again.
"Chief Chief, now Wang Haoshan still has some scruples about the houses in Chongqing, and the artillery regiment has not made full efforts...... Do you want to send someone to urge Chengdu to march into southern Sichuan as soon as possible? Lu Yongqiang, who followed closely behind Hu Jingyi, asked cautiously, he had little confidence in holding Chongqing, but just hoped that Yin Dujun would take Wang Haoshan's nest as soon as possible, so that they would have a chance to turn the tables.
Hu Jingyi turned his head to look at Lu Yongqiang, and asked instead of answering: "I heard that your Lu family was also in southern Sichuan before, and was driven out by Wang Haoshan?" ”
Lu Yongqiang tried to guess the intention of asking this from the expression on Hu Jingyi's face, but he didn't see anything, so he had to bow his head and make a humble gesture, and replied: "Yes, the lowly post has served in Luzhou for many years as the commander of the salt patrol battalion, and Wang Haoshan designed an ambush for my salt patrol battalion in order to seize the salt tax. In order to avoid being slaughtered, he had to leave Luzhou with his family. ”
"It is said that Wang Haoshan used to be only the sentry commander of a patrol battalion, do you know about his situation?" Hu Jingyi seems to be very interested in Wang Haoshan.
Lu Yongqiang replied: "I still know a little about Wang Haoshan's situation, I don't know what the chief wants to know?" ”
"Is the Wang family a high-ranking family in southern Sichuan?"
"This is definitely not counted, Wang Haoshan was just a small sentry commander at the beginning, and this position was only mixed up after he joined the army for more than ten years, and the Wang family has no background backer."
"Does the Wang family have any overseas connections, or do you know any foreigners?"
"This is impossible, Wang Haoshan has been in southern Sichuan for half his life, and he has never been out of Sichuan."
Lu Yongqiang's answer not only did not relieve Hu Jingyi's doubts, but made him even more puzzled: "Then where did the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army get so much money, and where did it buy so many powerful weapons and equipment?" ”
"Damn, after talking about it for a long time, it turned out to be the idea of fighting the arms procurement channel of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and I thought I was thinking of some way to retreat from the enemy." Lu Yongqiang couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart.
Hu Jingyi is a typical speculative bureaucrat of this era, ambitious, with a city government, and at the same time good at seeing the wind and steering. In the Manchu officialdom, he was like a fish in water. When he was in Tokyo, he joined the Xingzhonghui, the predecessor of the League, but when the revolutionaries went to Guangxi to contact him to establish an underground base, he turned his face and did not recognize anyone. In response to the Wuchang Uprising, the Guangxi revolutionaries elected him as the governor of Guangxi, but he did not want to join the revolution and fled to Shanghai. But when the revolution swept the world, he regretted it again and began to actively approach the revolutionaries.
Relying on the identity of Yin Changheng, Hu Jingyi was able to squeeze into the top of the Sichuan military government. This time I came to Chongqing. He wanted to make great achievements by driving away Xia Zhishi, Huang Fusheng and other veterans of the Shu military government and seizing the power of Zhenfu Mansion.
This era of war and chaos is the era of soldiers, and if you want to make a difference, someone has to have a gun. Therefore, it is not surprising that Hu Jingyi is so interested in the arms procurement channels of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.
Lu Yongqiang is also an old fox who is good at observing words and feelings, of course, he quickly understood Hu Jingyi's thoughts, so he said: "Chief, I have also heard of this humble position, it is said that the weapons and equipment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army were bought back by Wang Haoshan's son Wang Mo and the arms dealer. ”
"Wang Mo?" Hu Jingyi whispered Wang Mo's name a few times, and then said, "If possible, try to find out who the arms dealer Wang Mo contacts is." As long as I can handle this matter well, I will not treat your Lu family badly. ”
The arms procurement channels of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army have always been very mysterious, and Lu Yongqiang has a little grasp of it, but he still responds without hesitation: "Yes, I will do my best to do my best!" ”
Hu Jingyi is not the first, nor will he be the last, to covet the arms procurement channel in Wang Mo's hands, he probably doesn't know that no matter how much time, energy, and cost is spent, it is impossible to find out this military procurement channel that makes him salivate
