Chapter 257: Guizhou Raiders
On July 11, it was decided to seize Tongzi [***], and on the 12th, Wang Hengyue soldiers were in Zunyi!
The set up of the cannon [***] is a fierce bombardment of Zunyi, a whistling cannonball, and the Qian army in Zunyi City is embarrassed, and has no intention of resisting!
12 said that when it was said, it was determined that [***] would seize Zunyi!
The situation is critical.
Since Ding[***] entered Guizhou, the momentum has been like a bamboo, and several places have been taken, and the Guizhou army has fled, basically not daring to fight, and the entire war situation in Guizhou has been completely tilted towards the favorable place for Ding[***]!
On the 15th, Wang Hengyue concentrated the strength of five divisions and launched a fierce attack on Xifeng and Weng'an.
The majestic Battle of Guizhou has officially entered the most exciting chapter!
In the three southwestern provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, although the war continued, they were all sporadic contacts, including the battle to protect the country, and the scale was also limited to a certain range, and basically all of them were concentrated in Sichuan.
Like the Guizhou Raiders organized by Wang Hengyue, the scale is unprecedented!
Six main divisions, two artillery regiments, a combat engineer regiment, and two mixed brigades of reading and power, which were subsequently reinforced into Guizhou, completely concentrated a large number of troops and stormed Guizhou.
On the Guizhou side, the only ones that can be relied on are the elite of the five brigades of Dou Juren, Gu Zhenglun, Hu Ying, Zhang Chunpu, and He Yingqin, as well as the fifth mixed brigade under the control of Wang Wenhua himself, and the three police brigades that were temporarily organized, and the three brigades that were transformed from bandits and local armed forces.
The plan developed by Yuan Zuming did not work at all.
After the fall of Loushan Pass, Liu Xianshi's envoy came to Wang Hengyue's army and asked for negotiations, but Wang Hengyue refused, and in front of the envoy, Wang Hengyue said impassionedly:
"The three provinces are not peaceful, and the troops will not be withdrawn! I'm not for myself, I'm for the world! Today, Guizhou has no political axe, arrogant and arrogant, first repeatedly offended our Sichuan first, and then secretly supported Zhang Xun's restoration later, the world is angry, and the world is condemned! Now that the rebel army of Dingguo has entered Qiandi, and if you have not completed the success, you will collect the troops first! ”
Wang Hengyue's words reached Liu Xianshi's ears, and the ruler of Guizhou was so angry that he was angry.
If you want to add sin, why is there no word? But the excuse of Wang Dujun's "righteousness and awe-inspiring" doesn't make sense at all, when did Guizhou support Zhang Xun and when did it support restoration?
Wang Hengyue's fundamental purpose is to occupy Guizhou!
And Yuan Zuming's plan to lure the enemy into the depths did not play any role at all.
Ding[***] has always been steadily fighting, the defense is tight, the first echo, do not give any opportunity to advance!
The news from Yunnan is also not good, the main force of the Gui army is in a fierce battle with the Yunnan army, the two sides have killed and injured each other, no one can take advantage, Yunnan has no strength to aid Guizhou for the time being!
Everything can only rely on Guizhou itself!
On the 16th, in just one day, the first brigade of the Guizhou police and the 10th Brigade of the Guizhou Army were temporarily formed.
Xifeng and Weng'an fell into the hands of Wang Hengyue without any suspense.
The fall of these two places was expected by Yuan Zuming. Yuan Zuming concentrated all the main forces on the front line of Kaiyang, preparing to start a decisive battle with Ding[***]!
And before the decisive battle, secret work was also going on on both sides
"Master Zhou, here is a silver ticket for 200,000 oceans, please accept it." Liu Xianshi's nephew, Wang Wenhua's brother-in-law Liu Yuchang, appeared at the division headquarters of Zhou Jun, the commander of the Seventh Division, and pushed out a silver ticket of 200,000 yuan.
"What does that mean?" Zhou Jun glanced at it and asked.
"Master Zhou, don't you understand what this means?" Liu Yuchang smiled: "Wang Hengyue, a big warlord, relying on his own force, brazenly attacked my Guizhou, he did not follow the way of heaven and the people's will, and he was in the limelight right now, but he would be defeated sooner or later!" Division Commander Zhou made such a contribution in the battle of Chengdu, but he is still only a division commander. In fact, in the eyes of my Liu Dujun, Division Commander Zhou is the deputy commander-in-chief of [***], so why not? ”
Zhou Jun squinted his eyes and glanced at the silver ticket:
"Are you here to sow discord with us?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Liu Yuchang said repeatedly: "We just think that Master Zhou is not worth it, with Master Zhou's great martial arts and the popularity of people in Sichuan, what about being a Sichuan overseer?" ”
Zhou Jun smiled slightly, but did not answer.
Liu Yuchang hurriedly said: "Our Liu Inspector said that as long as Master Zhou is willing to help us, in the future, I Guizhou is willing to do my best to help Master Zhou ascend to the position of Sichuan Overseer, if you violate the oath, the sky will thunder!" ”
Zhou Jun pondered there for a long time, and then said slowly: "What do you want me to do?" ”
Liu Yuchang was immediately overjoyed and lifted his spirits: "Look at the [***] arrangement, the seventh division is closest to Wang Hengyue's general headquarters, and when the decisive battle breaks out, Division Commander Zhou can lead the seventh division to defect on the battlefield, storm Wang Hengyue's headquarters, and kill Wang Hengyue in one fell swoop, and the big thing can be done!" Our Qianjun is responsible for dragging Ding [***] to the death, so that he has no time to clone himself! ”
Zhou Jun closed his eyes.
Liu Yuchang stared at it and didn't dare to say a word.
After a long while, Zhou Jun opened his eyes and said slowly: "Stay here first, go back and tell you Liu Dujun, I know what to do."
"Heng Shuai, Gu Zhenglun has agreed to our conditions, once the war breaks out, the battlefield will be reversed!"
"Oh, got it." Wang Hengyue looked at the book in his hand, and didn't care about it.
Gu Zhenglun himself knows too well, this is a striking character who often provokes bloody storms, and he is a ruthless character who kills people without blinking!
This man is accustomed to seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and when the boss is strong, he will be loyal and loyal; When the boss is down, he will not hesitate to betray, this person seems to have some imagination with Yu Lei.
It would be too easy for such a person to buy him!
Wang Qinglu hesitated there: "Heng Shuai, I'm worried about Zhou Jun now." ”
"What's wrong?" Wang Hengyue's eyes were still fixed on the book in his hand.
"Zhou Jun is a very untrustworthy person, and I seem to have found that there are still suspicious characters in his division, I'm afraid of him."
Wang Qinglu was halfway through speaking, and Wang Hengyue finally put down the book in his hand: "I'm afraid that he, like Gu Zhenglun, will be bribed by the other party and fight back, right?" ”
Wang Qinglu nodded.
Wang Hengyue threw the book in his hand aside: "Huai Zhao, Zhou Jun, I know this person best, it's not that I'm afraid, but this person is very likely to rebel, he has never served me in this position." I didn't kill him at the beginning, because this person was meritorious when we attacked Chengdu, and there was no excuse for killing meritorious heroes, and the soldiers would not be convinced. Second, this person still has some fame and followers in Sichuan, and suddenly killing him will inevitably cause changes in Sichuan. ”
Wang Hengyue stood up: "Do you know why I want to take him with me on this expedition?" ”
"Could it be" Wang Qinglu frowned: "Could it be that Heng Shuai wants to take this opportunity to solve him?" ”
Wang Hengyue smiled: "Such a person, if he stays in Sichuan, he will become a confidant, and if he is put to the chief of staff, he will also become a bomb, only by my side, can I kill him when he gives birth to two hearts!" At the same time, those old forces in Sichuan should also be eliminated in one fell swoop. ”
Wang Qinglu nodded thoughtfully: "Could it be that the purpose of Heng Shuai's transfer of two mixed brigades is to"
"It's good to know in your heart!" Wang Hengyue said, walked to the table, picked up the pen, wrote a few notes, and then clicked and said: "Give these notes to the division commanders, they will naturally understand when they read them." ”
Wang Qinglu walked over, looked at it, and then put it away.
"Huai Zhao, after giving these orders to the commanders of each division, you should stay in the fourth division for the time being." Wang Hengyue said suddenly.
Wang Qinglu didn't think about it, but understood the meaning of Wang Hengyue's words, and smiled: "Hengshuai, you also underestimate me too much, can Heng Shuai take risks, but I can't take risks?" Heng Shuai, although I am not a soldier, but since I followed Heng Shuai in Ya'an, I have already decided to advance and retreat with Heng Shuai, so Heng Shuai can't drive me away! ”
Wang Hengyue laughed loudly: "Okay, you and I advance and retreat together, I really want to see who else in the world can hold a gun to Lao Tzu's head!" The people who want to take Lao Tzu's head have already lost their heads one by one! ”
Wang Qinglu took a long look: "The reason why Heng Shuai won the manpower is because Heng Shuai is not afraid of anything, and no matter how dangerous the situation is, Heng Shuai doesn't care." The battle must be won, the attack must be won, the world will be handsome sooner or later! ”
Wang Hengyue put away his smile and sat back silently
July 20, 1917.
"No, I must go back to Heng Shuai, he is too dangerous to deal with the crisis alone!" After reading the note, Ma Weizhong gritted his teeth and said, like that, I can't wait to return to Wang Hengyue's side immediately.
"Commander." Liu Zhaocheng, who had just been promoted to brigade commander, said calmly: "The reason why Heng Shuai wants to do this is that he doesn't want any accidents in our Guizhou strategy, which is what Heng Shuai wants to see the most." ”
"But what about Heng Shuai?" Ma Weizhong glared and said loudly.
Liu Zhaocheng looked very calm: "I expect that Heng Shuai will be fine, since he dares to be so bold, he must have been well prepared, and the rebels are not his opponents." Besides, as long as we defeat the opposite Qian's army, we will be the greatest support for Heng Shuai. ”
As he spoke, he brought Ma Weizhong to the map: "Division commander, please see, Heng Shuai deliberately retreated his general headquarters to the front line of Huali, why?" Because Heng Shuai just wants to open up a channel and completely annihilate those rebels, Heng Shuai thinks far more carefully than us. What we have to do is to fight first! ”
Ma Weizhong couldn't say anything for a while, and his eyes fell back to the note, which read:
"There will be a rebellion, and the ministries will attack according to the previous plan, and I will not care if I live or die!"
