The situation of the besieged Sichuan army in Batang is already dangerous, and there is not much food left!

Fortunately, at this time, the Dian army commanded by Cai Ye arrived!

"The rebels are besieging Batang too tightly, if you want to save Batang, take the salt well first!" After looking at the situation, Cai Ye quickly made his own judgment: "Yin Chengxian! ”

"In!"

"Concentrate all your forces and storm Yanjing!"

"Yes!"

There were also a large number of rebels stationed in Salt Well, and these rebels, after being supported by the British, were well-armed and had plenty of ammunition, and it seemed that it was not so easy to take down Salt Well!

Gunshots generally rang out around the salt wells.

Although the combat effectiveness of the rebels is not high, the sophisticated weapons and sufficient ammunition are enough for them to desperately release their guns as if they don't need money, blocking the Yunnan army that encircles and suppresses them!

The soldiers of the Yunnan army behaved very bravely, they constantly ambushed, shot, and charged. Time and time again, the dignity of the country is maintained with the bravery of soldiers!

Fierce fighting was going on, and although the Dian army gradually gained the upper hand with good training, it could not end the battle quickly.

This made Yin Chengxian, who was commanding the battle, a little anxious, and if he continued to delay, the rebels in Batang were very likely to come up with reinforcements, and they would inevitably fall into a melee at that time.

"Chief of Staff, listen, what's that?"

In the distance, a faint voice came, Yin Chengxian stood on a high place, picked up the telescope and looked there.

In the binoculars, the wind and dust were billowing, and after a while, a brigade of soldiers wearing large caps and gray military uniforms appeared.

At the forefront of them, an officer rode on a warhorse, brandished a sword in his right hand, and rushed to the front with a battle flag in his left hand.

Yin Chengxian looked hard, and he finally saw clearly what was written on the battle flag:

The first contribution to counterinsurgency!

The first contribution to counterinsurgency? With such a big breath, Yin Chengxian's body moved.

These soldiers who suddenly appeared, as if they were very familiar with this place, picked the weakest side of the Yanjing rebels' defenses for a surprise attack!

Before the rebels had time to adjust, the army had already rushed in.

"The first merit of counterinsurgency, the first merit of counterinsurgency" Yin Chengxian suddenly remembered who this was, his face changed, and he couldn't help blurting out:

"Wang Hengyue!"

"Kill!"

Wang Hengyue, who was wielding a war knife, shouted: "Suppress the rebellion in Tibetan Province, don't count killing!" ”

The battle flag in his hand, firmly held in his left hand, fluttered in the wind, inspiring all the officers and soldiers!

"Suppressing the rebellion in Tibetan Province, don't count killing!"

The soldiers shouted frantically, frantically rushed into the enemy line and slyed with the enemy!

Waving the battle flag in his left hand, dancing the sword in his right hand, Heng Shuai who charged all the way gave them the greatest confidence, at this time, Heng Shuai seemed to have truly become a man in the hearts of the officers and soldiers:

Mars!

"Kill or kill, put down the rebellion in Tibetan Province!" That's Janssen's shout!

At this moment, Yang Sen was also completely shocked by Wang Hengyue's bravery! Although I had heard many legends about him before, when I saw it with my own eyes, it brought Yang Sen an unprecedented shock!

This is the future lord of Sichuan, this is the future - the king of Sichuan!

With such a brave and resourceful boss, sooner or later he will be able to unify Sichuan!

From this moment on, Yang Sen felt that he was absolutely wise in the original battlefield rebellion!

Heng Shuai is not in a hurry to ascend to the highest position of the king of Sichuan, but has been developing himself silently, waiting for the best opportunity. Then when this opportunity comes, he will not give up, and he will deal a fatal blow to all enemies.

This is the one who does great things!

And with such a person, do you still have to worry about your future?

"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!! Kill all these traitors! Long live Hengshuai! Banzai!!! Yang Sen, who suddenly figured out this section, had a fierce light in his eyes, hissing in his mouth, almost crazy, and cut the head of a rebel who rushed forward in half with a single sword.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Long live Hengshuai! "The emotions of all the soldiers were thoroughly aroused at this moment!

Wang Hengyue, who was fighting, suddenly heard such earth-shattering cheers from the officers and soldiers, and he didn't know what was going on, so he turned his head and was almost stabbed by a rebel with a slight negligence. Furious, he slashed down with a knife, and in the screams, blood flew everywhere!

These wolf-like officers and soldiers rushed into the salt well, like a group of killing gods, and in an instant, more than half of the rebels were killed by them!

At this time, the Dian army also took advantage of the situation to rush in, and under the attack from both sides, the rebels were almost killed and wounded, and only a dozen people escaped by taking advantage of the chaos.

Wang Hengyue looked around the battlefield, there were dead bodies everywhere, but his losses here were minimal.

There was a little arrogance, and there was also a sense of accomplishment, Wang Hengyue stretched out his arm hard, and the battle flag was raised high.

"Hooray! Banzai!! Banzai!!! ”

The cheers of the brethren rang out once again!

The officers and soldiers of the Sichuan army fell into a kind of frenzy, they kept roaring wildly, constantly dancing the guns held up to the sky, and the even more crazy soldiers even used the "bang" gunfire to vent their inner fanaticism.

The soldiers of the Dian army were a little stupid, they had never seen such an army before

"Oh, the Sichuan army has finally arrived?" Hearing Yin Chengxian's report, Cai Yi nodded: "He is the vanguard of the Sichuan army personally ordered by President Yuan, and he has suppressed the rebellion here before, he is most familiar with this terrain, and he knows where the weak point is, so he can succeed in one fell swoop, he is here, we have more helpers!" ”

"Dudu, don't you see those Sichuan soldiers, they are all crazy." Yin Chengxian seemed to be still immersed in the memories of the battlefield: "They rushed forward with a roar, and killed anyone they saw, and after the battle, none of the rebels were alive, and those who died had to be replaced with bayonets." Wang Hengyue made a gesture of raising the flag, and as a result, those Sichuan troops shouted 'Long live' as if they were enchanted, to be honest, I have never seen such an army with troops until now. ”

Cai Yi pondered there for a while: "I have heard that Wang Hengyue is loved by his subordinates, it seems that it is not false at all. You say that he always charges first, such a fierce general who is not afraid of death, how can he not be worshiped by his subordinates? ”

Yin Chengxian looked to the side and said in a low voice: "Dudu, last time we came to the aid of Sichuan, Wang Hengyue blocked Yibin and did not let him advance, and looking at him like this, he will inevitably become my Yunnan rival in the future." Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity?"

"Bastard!" Cai Ye was furious and interrupted his subordinates' words: "The gap between Sichuan and Yunnan has long passed!" Wang Hengyue heard that the country was in trouble, and he tried his best to help him regardless of death, do you want me to kill such a person? Do you do things that hurt your relatives and make your enemies happy? Wang Hengyue is here for national defense and for the whole country! ”

"Yes, Dudu, I was wrong!" Yin Chengxian said with shame on his face.

Cai Ye glared at his subordinates fiercely: "Let's go, since Wang Hengyue has arrived, come with me to greet him!" ”

"Wang Hengyue, President of the Sichuan Military Senate and Commander of the Reading Power Mixed Division, has arrived!"

As soon as Cai Ye moved, such a shout was already heard.

Cai Ye was stunned, and saw a young general coming on a fast horse, and when he got closer, the general turned over and dismounted, and came to Cai Yi, one stood upright, and then made a dignified military salute:

"Wang Hengyue sees more Cai Dudu!"

"The first righteous hero, the father of the revolution, Wang Hengyue!" As soon as Cai Ye saw the young and heroic Wang Hengyue, he couldn't help but like it in his heart, and praised it repeatedly:

"Good, good, good!"

Cai Ye was only thirty years old at the time, and it was also the time when he was in high spirits, and when he saw Wang Hengyue at this time, he couldn't help but feel cordial.

Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "On the orders of President Yuan, for the Sichuan army to counter the rebellion, please supervise Cai Du to speak!" ”

"What kind of talk am I training?" Cai Yi smiled heartily: "The fierce battle in Yanjing, the two phases are glued, if it weren't for the army led by Senior Commander Wang to help, I'm afraid that Yanjing is not easy to fight." ”

"The governor is too polite, without Wang, it will only be a matter of time before he pacifies Tibetan Province." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "Why did the governor come to Batang? This was originally a place that our Sichuan army should have captured. ”

These words suddenly made a trace of gloom and helplessness appear on Cai Yi's face.

It turned out that after receiving the order to go west, Cai Yi repeatedly called Li Gengen, commander of the Second Division of the Yunnan Army in Dali, to select a large number of elite soldiers from the provincial army to reinforce Dali. Regarding the choice of the route for the Yunnan army to enter Tibet Province, Cai Ye also tried his best. In his telegram to Yuan Shikai, he proposed that the Sichuan army enter Tibet from Batang Avenue, and that "Yunnan will open a new road, exit between Weixi, Chalian, and Mabili, pass through the Luoyu savage place, and make a straight line to the northwest" to Lhasa. This road was opened, "the traffic between Yunnan and Tibet can save a thousand miles, and the national defense is especially of great benefit", which can stop the British from going straight to Ba and Litang from the horses, so as to control the whole of Tibet.

Cai Ye planned to first use the expedition team to set out from Zhongdian in Yunnan Province to reconnoiter the route and the enemy's situation, and then use the engineering team to open the mountains and build roads, and the brigade to advance step by step, and at the same time set up electric wires, set up military stations, immigrate to attract investment, and arrange internal affairs, in order to plan for the long term. However, Yuan Shikai stopped it on the grounds that it was difficult and costly, and ordered the Dian army to first aid Batang and then rescue Tibet. Although Cai argued in a series of letters, because there was no support from the central government, Yunnan Province could not afford to operate alone, so Cai had no choice but to order the western expeditionary army of the Yunnan army to go out of Batang.

On the grounds that the occupation of the Batang area by the Dian army would cut off the movement of the left and right flanks of the Sichuan army and hinder the advance of troops in Bianzang, Yin Changheng, the governor of the Sichuan army, sent a telegram to Yuan Shikai to order the Yunnan army to stop advancing. The Dian army set out for thousands of miles, and before the task was completed, it was ordered to stop advancing, which made Cai Ye deeply dissatisfied.

He sent a telegram to the whole country to state the intentions of the Yunnan army before sending troops, and called on the Sichuan and Yunnan armies to make every effort to level Tibet in order to consolidate national defense; after the Yunnan army stopped advancing, the Sichuan army's offensive did not speed up, and the situation in Tibetan Province remained critical. On the one hand, Cai Yi telegraphed to the president, the State Council, and the governor of Sichuan for understanding, and on the other hand, he ordered Yin Chengxian to lead the western expeditionary army to advance and respond to the Batang Sichuan army.

After Wang Hengyue listened, the anger on his face flashed: "Did Yin Changheng miss the national affairs for his own selfishness!" ”
