"Report to the brigade commander, the artillery is assembled!"

"Order all artillery to prepare, and no artillery shall be fired without my order!"

"Yes, all artillery is prepared, no artillery is allowed to fire without an order!"

Ma Xiao turned around and entered his headquarters, put a record on the gramophone, and then lay down comfortably on the recliner and closed his eyes.

Outside, there was the rumbling sound of cannons and frantic gunfire. In the room, music was playing on the gramophone, and it was Mozart's Requiem

"Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor, forward!"

"Forward, long live His Majesty the Great Emperor!"

With the voices of the officers of the 4th Mixed Brigade, the offensive began!

After two days of fighting, the guards were exhausted, and the enemy's artillery fire destroyed almost all of their positions.

Stumps, broken legs, everywhere you look.

The bombs have run out, and if it weren't for the bombs from the Reading Power Mix Division, maybe the position would have been breached yesterday!

"Hold on a little longer, brethren, hold on a little longer!" Deng Taizhong called out loudly, and his gaze involuntarily glanced in the direction of Neijiang

"Detachment leader, the North Ocean is coming!"

"All of them, bayonets!"

"All of them, bayonets!"

"Brigade commander, Beiyang rushed up?"

"Show me the record again!" Ma Xiao said with his eyes closed.

"Yes!"

"Requiem" sounded again.

Ma Xiao listened for a while, and then asked unhurriedly, "How is the situation?" ”

"Fight there with a hand-to-hand fight, and fight hard!"

"Can you still stand it?"

"It should work."

Ma Xiao said "oh": "Go out, wait until the third white-knuckle battle to report to me!" ”

"Yes!"

"Requiem" sounded there, and he couldn't hear the gunfire outside at all for the sound of the horse howling

"Kill! Kill! ”

The shouts from the battlefield kept ringing, and all the people were fighting there at the cost of their lives. No, no one flinched, no one was afraid. Withdrawing and being scared here will only mean death!

All the officers and soldiers went up.

The bayonet was constantly being handed out, pulled out, stabbed again, and pulled out again.

Blood flew in the air like rain. Drops of blood fall to the ground and slowly come together, soon forming a small flowing river.

The officers and soldiers of the guard [***] have completely forgotten everything. It has nothing to do with them whether reinforcements come or not, the only thing they have to do is to hold this position to the death.

Since leaving Yunnan and entering Sichuan, they have never thought of returning alive

Beiyang's attack was killed and retreated, but before the brother who protected [***] could recover his strength, another attack soon began again.

Casualties are increasing dramatically!

The corpses almost filled the improvised trenches. And one body after another continued to fall.

As long as the battle does not end for a minute, the killing will continue until there is no one left on the attacker or defender.

The eyes are red, the hands are soft, but everyone is still there trying their best to support themselves from falling.

The bayonet was curled, the butt of the rifle was broken, but every soldier was making his last effort.

As long as there is one person left, it will be fought to the end

"Brigade commander, the second attack of the 4th Mixed Brigade was repulsed again. Good guys, those Dian troops are really fighting for their lives! ”

"Cai Ye is a good soldier." Ma Xiao slowly stood up: "Let the artillery prepare!" ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the black pressed enemy on the opposite side, Deng Taizhong sighed.

I tried my best, I really did my best.

Bombs were gone, bullets were gone, bayonets were broken. Now, there's really only one life left!

"All of them!" Deng Taizhong found that he didn't even have the strength to scream: "Assemble"

The brothers stood up with all their might, silently waiting for the final moment!

Deng Taizhong hated that the right wing had never sent troops in Xiong Kewu's department, and there was even a movement to withdraw troops.

In that case, let yourself dedicate yourself to your ideals!

"Prepare the cannons - fire!"

One after another, the shells drew a perfect arc without warning, and then lightly fell into the 4th Mixed Brigade that was regrouping.

An overwhelming explosion rang out, with a sky-high fire!

The Fourth Mixed Brigade was smashed and disrupted at once!

The originally orderly team became chaotic in an instant. The soldiers ran around with their heads in their hands, trying to avoid the shells, but wherever they hid, there were explosions!

Deng Taizhong and his brothers watched all this in amazement, as if they had not yet reacted from the shock.

"Cannon," Deng Taizhong muttered, and suddenly, a cheer broke out with a bit of sadness and ecstasy:

"Cannon! The Reading Power Mixed Division has fired! ”

"Fire! It's time to fire! ”

There was a frantic cheer from the battlefield. Deng Taizhong covered his mouth, if he didn't do this, he knew that he was going to cry.

Wiping his eyes, Deng Taizhong picked up the gun:

"Protect the country and ask Yuan, rush!"

"Protect the country and ask Yuan, rush!"

The brothers who protected [***] rushed out, and at this time, Xiong Kewu also saw this sudden situation!

The Reading Power Mixed Division has fired! The Reading Power Mixed Division has fired!

Amitabha, it's good that he didn't leave the battlefield!

Xiong Kewu waved his hand: "Protect the country and ask Yuan, rush!" ”

The artillery was showing off its strength there, and the 4th Mixed Brigade, which had been hit by a sudden blow, was completely in disarray. They dodged under the bombardment of their shells, and it was not until the protection [***] rushed in front of them that they realized that a catastrophe was coming.

The rout was swift, and the 4th Mixed Brigade, which had been completely disrupted, could not even organize effective resistance, and collapsed in just a few moments!

Defend [***] attack on all fronts, and everyone who can pick up arms and charge is all thrown into the attack.

After two whole days of fighting, the 4th Mixed Brigade saw that it could achieve victory, but it did not expect that under the sudden bombardment of the artillery of the Reading Mixed Division, it would be collapsed by the whole army!

In two days, the invincible 4th Mixed Brigade was hit the hardest!

No matter how hard Wu Xiangzhen tried, the rout of the Fourth Mixed Brigade was irreparable!

It fell short, Wu Xiangzhen let out a long sigh.

After the last resistance, Wu Xiangzhen finally gave up hope.

The 4th Mixed Brigade began to rout from the battlefield and retreated in the direction of Yucheng.

The brothers who protected [***] did not even have the strength to clean up the battlefield, and as soon as the enemy withdrew, they sat down on the ground exhausted, and some even fell asleep with their heads resting on the corpses of the dead.

Tired, they are so tired and tired

"Captain Deng!" Xiong Kewu rushed over: "This battle is really beautiful, Wu Xiangzhen is defeated and retreated, you can immediately attack Yucheng, I expect to capture Yucheng in one fell swoop!" ”

Deng Taizhong glared at him fiercely, and then said coldly: "Recruit envoy, my target has been disabled, if you want to take Yucheng, please!" ”

Xiong Kewu was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and couldn't say anything

"Report to Heng Shuai, protect [***] Yongchuan victory, and kill more than 400 people of the Fourth Mixed Brigade!"

"Okay, got it, let's go down." Wang Hengyue's reaction was not very enthusiastic.

Only four hundred people were killed? Is this a "big victory"? But the protection [***] has indeed done his best!

"Zhang Jingyao, the guard of Nanchang Town, Jiangxi, the commander of the Seventh Division, and Cao Kun, the commander of the Third Division, have been ordered to transfer to Sichuan! 1 Li Shanzhi's 1st Mixed Brigade, Tao Yunhe's 15th Brigade, and Feng Yuxiang's 16th Brigade all entered Sichuan! ”

"Okay, they're all here, it's a good place in Sichuan." Wang Hengyue didn't seem to feel anything worried, lying on the recliner alone, constantly shaking: "What about the main force commanded by Cai Yi?" ”

"It's almost time to arrive in Yibin."

"Oh" Wang Hengyue closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Give Li Yifeng in Yibin an order to evacuate Yibin." ”

"What?"

"Evacuate Yibin, don't I say it clearly enough?" Wang Hengyue said unhurriedly: "Let him be on standby on the front line of Zigong." At the same time, tell Cai Ye that he came from afar to protect the country and ask for Yuan, and his spirit moved heaven and earth. I, Wang Hengyue, will use Yibin as his garrison and fight to the death with Beiyang to defend the republic! ”

Jiang Baili happened to come in, and when he heard this order, he asked with a smile: "Is Heng Shuai going to eat the enemy in Yibin?" ”

"It's not me, it's not me." Wang Hengyue stood up from the recliner and said in a loud voice: "Protecting [***] always has to find a place to fight the enemy to the death, right?" I think Yibin is a good place. I am a republic, so what does it matter if I give up a place? ”

Jiang Baili shook his head with a smile, and asked the staff officer to give the battle order first: "Heng Shuai, you are going to let the protection [***] and the Beiyang Army fight to the death in Yibin!" The two parties are stuck in Yibin, even if they find Hengshuai's plan, they are in a dilemma, and they can only consume it to the end. Wait until the two sides are almost finished."

glanced at the map: "When the time comes, close the door and fight the dogs, Neijiang, Luzhou, Zigong, and Leshan will send troops, although they can't completely annihilate the Beiyang, but they can also fight and they don't dare to face up to my southern Sichuan!" ”

"Ah, is it?" Wang Hengyue looked innocent, pretended to come to the map and looked at it, and patted his head: "Oops, if it weren't for the reminder of the chief of staff, I almost forgot that I could still fight like this, admire, admire." ”

"Okay, Hengshuai, it's just the two of us here, don't be acting." Jiang Baili couldn't cry or laugh, and then his face was a little dignified:

"It's just that Songpa is going to fight a vicious battle, even if he can guess Heng Shuai's intentions, he will definitely not back down!"

Wang Hengyue sighed softly: "Chief of Staff, is it despicable for me to do this?" ”

Jiang Baili nodded.

Wang Hengyue smiled, and then heard Jiang Baili say:

"Fighting like this, although it is indeed a bit despicable, but this is also the best way to solve the Sichuan problem and run away from Beiyang as soon as possible, I think, Songpa will definitely see this!"
