Chapter 104: Undercurrent
The Ninth Division was organized and trained in accordance with the standard infantry division of the Revolutionary Army under the command of the Southwest Communist Party, and it was also the first unit in the Southwest Army to be newly established from scratch. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the battle sequence of the Southwest Army, the first eight divisions basically have predecessors. For example, the first, second, and third divisions, the three so-called time-honored ace divisions, had been successfully trained long before the outbreak of the revolution, and they not only had strong combat effectiveness, but also had a tough work style; As for the fourth and fifth divisions, they were expanded from the two associations of the Yunnan New Army; The Sixth Division was adapted from the militia in the Tengyue area after the Yunnan Uprising; The 7th Division was expanded from the 3,000 Qing troops in the former Sichuan border area following the Sichuan Governor Zhao Erfeng to pacify Tibet; The Eighth Division was a little more complicated, with both soldiers from the Second Division and the Guizhou New Army.
For this newly formed infantry division, which had no predecessor, the backbone of which was all officers and non-commissioned officers drawn from other units of the Southwest Revolutionary Army, and the soldiers were recruits who had just come out of the new barracks.
This brand-new unit, Xiao Mubai has high hopes. Although the soldiers and equipment of the Ninth Division have arrived, it is still impossible to form combat effectiveness for a while, because first, the training of new recruits is not enough, but the mastery of weapons is not yet proficient, especially heavy weapons such as artillery.
rushed all the way to Chengdu, until he stood in the office of Jiang Baili, chief of the General Staff, looking at the newly promoted colonel rank on his left and right shoulders, Yin Changheng was still a little dizzy.
Jiang Baili patted the shoulder of Yin Changheng, who was still a little stupid in front of him, and said: "Shuoquan, the frame of the Ninth Division has been built, what you have to do is to strengthen training so that the Ninth Division can become an army as soon as possible." You also know the current situation, so you should also know the progress of this training. ”
"Please rest assured, Chief of General Staff, I will definitely train the Ninth Division well, form an army as soon as possible, and go up to the battlefield to kill the enemy." Yin Changheng immediately made a statement.
"Well, your ability is obvious to all, just do it well, Chairman Xiao has high hopes for the Ninth Division." A smile appeared on Jiang Baili's elegant face.
"Please rest assured that the task will be completed." Hearing Chairman Xiao, Yin Changheng was obviously excited.
However, he said that since the Shaanxi side won the victory in the eastern and western battles, on the surface, the entire situation in Shaanxi has slowly begun to calm down. Of course, this is only on the surface, and as for what it is like in secret, no one can say. Like most people in this era, there will always be some people who are not willing to be lonely.
saw the strength of the Southwest Army, and Wan Bingnan, the deputy commander of the Han Army of Qin Longxing, who was full of gang habits, and played the role of bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Without the threat of foreign enemies, in line with the principle that the well water does not interfere with the river water, after allocating a garrison to the Southwest Army, he hid in Fengxiang City.
Although in front of the Southwest Army, he didn't dare to show the slightest bit of no, but in Fengxiang City, he was like an emperor, and he was still arrogant and arrogant. not only eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, but also openly hangs the signboard of the elders' association in the city, opens the mountain to worship the ancestors, and sits in the hall to talk about state affairs. The younger brothers under them also opened their own doors and recruited apprentices, and within a few days, the establishment of the army was scattered by them. For a while, the entire Fengxiang City was made into a miasma.
Wan Bingnan eats and drinks spicy food in the city, but not all of his brothers are as chic as him, and there are many people who live a tight life. After all, the brothers stationed outside the city are not so rich in oil and water.
Wang Laosi was an ordinary member of the countless halls of the troops under Wan Bingnan's command, because they were stationed next to the southwest military defense area. Because of this, he was usually more slick and was appointed as a liaison officer from above. The purpose is to coordinate the Southwest Army and help them solve some problems that cannot be handled.
On this day, when he came to the garrison of the Southwest Army, he was just in time for lunch. The Southwest Army was polite and gave him two canned food, one braised beef and one luncheon meat. He didn't know the taste of meat for a long time, and after a while of gobbling it up, he ate it all in a moment. It stands to reason that in this way, he should also go back, but looking back, the Southwest Army ate so well, Wang Laosi felt unbalanced. What does the Shaanxi People's Army eat? It's good to be full, and it's a meal if you can deal with potatoes or something. Seeing someone open the compressed biscuits, take out a cigarette, and look back and think about the life he lived, Wang Laosi was even more greedy and unhappy.
After lunch, Wang Laosi, who returned to his station, felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it. Why do you eat fragrant and drink spicy food, but we are pickles? Thinking like this, Wang Laosi, who was more and more unbalanced in his heart, went to find their commander, Qian Siye, who was also the hall master of the Elders' Association, and began to show off his mouth, saying what his own family ate and what the Southwest Army ate.
Qian Siye is not a fuel-efficient lamp, speaking of this, he is also full of resentment, to say that now it is a success of the revolution, and he and others are also considered revolutionary heroes. If you want to say that's it, it's okay, but the boss of his family, Wan Bingnan, hides in Fengxiang City all day long, eats and drinks spicy food, enjoys what should be enjoyed, and enjoys what shouldn't be enjoyed. At this time, Qian Siye, who had long been unbalanced in his heart, immediately moved his heart when he heard Wang Laosi's words, and planned to take this opportunity to rob him.
The Shaanxi People's Army has not been in the Southwest Army for a day or two, and when they heard Wang Laosi's words at this moment, they immediately shouted loudly. Qian Siye hasn't expressed his position yet, and they don't need to agitate because of their gang style, and hundreds of people immediately stood up with a hula, and shouted around Qian Siye that they were willing to follow their eldest brother to get a vote.
The thoughtful Fourth Master Qian is not a brainless master, he also knows that the Southwest Army is not easy to mess with. Therefore, he is experienced in the rivers and lakes very well, and if he wants to succeed in robbery, he must inevitably sum it up. Therefore, after persuading his brothers, he found a few henchmen and brothers to start a secret discussion.
On this day, a few dozen miles away from the Fourth Division's station, a heavy convoy of the Southwest Army, consisting of dozens of wagons, was heading in the direction of Baoji under the escort of a company. Due to the snow that had fallen a few days ago, the convoy could only move forward at a slow pace.
At this time, behind a small hill not far from the train fleet, there were several big men with box cannons on their waists, their eyes staring ahead, and the white mist that was constantly spewing out from under their noses dissipated into the air. A man with a deep scar on his face, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes from time to time.
This person is Qian Siye, and he and several of his brothers analyzed it well, and after summing it up, they decided to come and rob the baggage convoy of the Southwest Army. Thinking about it, as long as you do it neatly, God doesn't know it, and no one should say anything.
"Gadagada..."
The sound of horses' hooves kept coming from the front, and a small black dot rushed quickly towards the mountain bag. In a short time, a man wrapped in a thick padded jacket stood in front of several people. The visitor carried an old sleeve on his back, and his weather-covered face had two lines of snot, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"It's here, it's here, big brother, the southwest soldiers have arrived, and there are dozens of carts. The second brother asked me to ask if it was time for the brothers to set off. ”
"Little third baby, do you really see clearly? Dozens of big cars? Fourth Master Qian asked in a deep voice, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
"That's right, eldest brother, my second brother and I saw it clearly, so we ran back to deliver the message." The visitor said eagerly, "It's really dozens of carts, the wheels are pressed deeply, and it is estimated that there are either food or weapons and ammunition, and there are only about 200 people escorting the carts." ”
"Okay, done!" Qian Siye slapped his thigh, "I think it's okay for our six hundred or so people to clean up this mere two hundred people." Little three children, hurry up and let the brothers gather and get ready to work. ”
"Yes!"
The young man named Xiao Sanwazi turned around the mountain bag and whistled loudly in a col behind, and after a while, more than 500 people came out of it one after another, but their equipment was really not flattering, and those holding the old sleeves were all good, and more were big swords and spears.
After seeing that the big guys were all assembled, Qian Siye waved his hand vigorously, and a group of people immediately followed, rushing forward in a swarm.
Qian Siye's plan is very good, but sometimes, the outcome of a battle is not determined by the number of people. At this time, he didn't notice at all how big a basket he had stabbed when he went.
