"End the war and chaos and unify Sichuan by force!"

On June 6, 1916, Yuan Shikai died of illness, and Li Yuanhong succeeded him as president; On June 7, Wang Hengyue ordered the cancellation of [***] and supported the central political axe!

At the same time, Wang Hengyue, the governor of the Sichuan military and political axe and the commander-in-chief of Ding[***], issued instructions to the officers and men of the whole army:

Maintain peace and unify Sichuan!

This order, megatron Sichuan!

The whole army will be dispatched and the battle to unify Sichuan will begin!

At this time, Wang Hengyue's strength is unmatched in Sichuan.

After its elite infantry division appeared on the battlefield with excellent weapons, the outcome of the battle was actually sealed!

7 said, when the order of "unification of force" was issued, Yang Sen's division of Ding [***] attacked Liu Cunhou's division first, and Jia Haoyang's first guard division attacked Dai Kan's department.

Ding[***]'s sudden dispatch greatly shocked the troops who were fighting outside Chengdu.

Wang Hengyue is here, Wang Hengyue is finally here!

The deadline set by Wang Hengyue has arrived, but Chengdu is still in a melee situation!

In the face of the attack on Liu Cunhou and Dai Kanbu, everyone was afraid of getting into trouble, so they did not directly participate in the war, but chose to remain silent.

On the 8th, Yang Sen's troops attacked Liu Cunhou, the "commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army". Liu Cunhou resisted desperately and called for support, but only Luo Peijin, who symbolized his surname, sent troops, but as soon as he was hit, he quickly retracted back to his original defensive line.

8 It is said that after the baptism of artillery, Janssen invested all his forces at the beginning. Heavy machine guns, urgency, like dense rain, poured on the enemy's position, "suddenly" bullets rushed around, and Liu Cunhou's troops could not raise their heads at all.

At the same time, on the battlefield of the western front in Chengdu, Dai Kanzhi's Yunnan military headquarters was also fiercely attacked by Ding[***].

The battle was very fierce, and the battle on the Western Front made all the people who were aspiring to Chengdu feel panic.

It is said that the commander of the 29th Brigade sent a letter to the commander of several armies, in which he said that Wang Hengyue was broken one by one, and after Dai Qi solved Liu Cunhou and Dai Kan, the time for the death of others had come.

But no one listened to him.

That night, Liu Xiang personally led all the 29th Brigade to attack Yang Sen's department at night, but Yang Sen, who was heavily prepared, found out.

This new situation made Wang Hengyue immediately adjust his deployment, and ordered Yang Sen to turn his gun and attack Yang Sen first, while he personally commanded the Guards Tiger Division to attack Liu Cunhou!

On the 9th, Wang Hengyue cut off the connection between Liu Cunhou and Liu Xiang with the strength of two regiments, and then, Yang Sen and Liu Xiang launched a decisive battle!

After a fierce battle, Liu Xiang could not support it, the 29th Brigade was defeated, and Liu Xiang, who fled from the battlefield with the remnants, was forced to throw himself into Xiong Kewu's army, and Xiong Kewu's "recruiting army" was greatly revitalized.

After defeating Liu Xiang's troops, Yang Sen immediately turned his guns again, joined Wang Hengyue's tiger division, and launched a new attack on Liu Cunhou's troops.

At that time, Jia Haoyang's First Guard Division, under two consecutive fierce attacks, broke through the Dai Kan defense line, cut Dai Kan's division into three parts, and then began to break through separately.

On the 10th, Wang Hengyue issued an order to limit the enemy. At noon, the second line of defense of Liu Cunhou's division was broken through, and more than 1,000 soldiers surrendered.

Liu Cunhou's defeat is decided!

Liu Cunhou, who knew that he could not resist Wang Hengyue's attack alone, launched a request for help from Luo Peijin, declaring that he was willing to obey the command of the Dian army.

At the same time, Dai Kan's Yunnan army was also dealt a heavy blow, and various defensive lines were broken through, and Dai Kan himself fled the battlefield in a hurry under the escort of the guards in the chaotic army, wanting to leave Sichuan.

But Jia Haoyang didn't give him this opportunity!

A battalion of troops followed closely behind and caught up with Dai Kan at the Qinhuang Temple, more than a hundred miles away from Chengdu.

There's no way to keep fighting!

Dai Kan, who was besieged in the Qinhuang Temple, looked at the machine gun set up outside, and sighed: "Everyone is staring at Chengdu, but no one sees Wang Hengyue, the evil wolf!" Wang Hengyue was able to enter Chengdu back then, but he didn't enter, what is it? It's not that he can't enter Chengdu, but he doesn't want to enter! Today, we and other fools are all chess pieces in the hands of Wang Hengyue. Ridiculous, pitiful, and pathetic, Dai Kan only wishes to die, and calls on everyone to work together! ”

With that, Dai Kan disbanded the guards, and then pulled out a gun and committed suicide.

After Dai Kan's death, his remnants were taken into custody by Luo Peikin.

Later, Liu Xianshi, the governor of Guizhou, heard that Wang Hengyue attacked the armies of Chengdu and tried to attack Sichuan with three regiments of men and horses, but was ambushed by the third division of Xu Mu, who had been prepared for a long time, and the Guizhou army was defeated, and after throwing down hundreds of corpses, he retreated back to Guizhou.

Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, called on all parties in Chengdu to cease fighting, and personally telegraphed Wang Hengyue, and Wang Hengyue replied:

"Peace in Sichuan is the blessing of the people of Sichuan, there is no hope for peace, and the only way to exchange peace is to use force. Tang Du is only in charge of Shuo Yunnan, and Sichuan has its own Wang Hengyue! ”

Tang Jiyao asked again to allow the Dian army to withdraw from the battlefield, and Wang Hengyue replied with a second telegram: "When Cai Songpo wanted to withdraw the Dian army, the Dian army refused, and messed with my Sichuan." Now that Wang Hengyue disarmed the Dian army, he will inevitably return the soldiers! ”

Wang Hengyue's successive refusals made Tang Jiyao furious and wanted to send it into Sichuan in person, but Xie Shui had already listed the formation of the first division and entered the combat state.

When it was said that the protector of the country and begged for Yuan, it was Wang Hengyue who let the Dian army in, and now the Dian army wants to come in again, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy.

On the reunification of Sichuan by force, Wang Hengyue's tough attitude was not expected by anyone

Under this critical situation, the troops in Chengdu finally felt the threat of Wang Hengyue most keenly. Especially after Dai Kan's suicide, all the ministries were panicked, lest Wang Hengyue's next target would be aimed at him.

Under these circumstances, Chen Eun in Chengdu used Hu Egong as an envoy to mediate between the parties.

On the 11th, the armies of Chengdu held an emergency meeting in Liu Cunhou's army to discuss how to deal with the threat from Wang Hengyue.

These people who fought in Chengdu are sitting together again at this moment in order to deal with the same threat.

Liu Xiang, who had already taken refuge in Xiong Kewu, said angrily: "Your enemy is not any one here, but Wang Hengyue. Wang Hengyue's soldiers are well fed, ammunition is sufficient, attacking Liu will be defeated, attacking Dai will die, today said that if all the gentlemen here are not united, Dai Kan is already waiting for us on the Huangquan Road! ”

Hu E said: "Brigade Commander Liu's words are right in the middle! Wang Hengyue Zhi is not any one here, he is determined to be in the whole Sichuan! He will definitely not let go of any of us, and in this case, only by forming a coalition can he confront Wang Hengyue! After that, please invite the armies of Yunnan and Guizhou to attack before and after, or there may be vitality! ”

In the face of the crisis, these former friends and enemies finally came together.

After discussion, Chen Eun was promoted as the governor of Sichuan, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and Xiong Kewu as the deputy governor. Zhou Jun was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

These people who once fought for Chengdu finally came together temporarily for the same purpose.

Such a situation has long been expected by Wang Hengyue.

At this time, the coalition army Chen Eun was sitting in Chengdu, Liu Cunhou and Liu Xiang were guarding the left flank of Chengdu, Xiong Kewu and Luo Peijin were guarding the right flank of Chengdu, and the first division of Zhou Jun's Sichuan Army was facing the enemy.

"United?" Wang Hengyue smiled: "Concentrate all the artillery fire and bombard Zhou Jun!" ”

"Yes!"

"Remember, only hit Zhou Jun, regardless of the two wings!"

The shells bombarded Zhou Jun's first division, and rained down on Zhou Jun's army. Subsequently, the machine guns that were concentrated by Wang Hengyue also fired fiercely at Zhou Jun's department.

Zhou Jun urged again and again, asking for reinforcements, but the reinforcements on the left and right flanks were all under the strict defense of Ding[***] several times without success.

Zhou Jun scolded angrily in the direction of the [***] artillery:

"Lao Tzu and you Wang Hengyue have no grievances or hatred, why just beat me!"

"Report to the division commander, a person who calls himself Wang Qinglu is here."

"Wang Qinglu? Who is it? ”

"He is Wang Hengyue's staff officer!"

"Wang Hengyue's staff officer?" There was a murderous flash in Zhou Jun's eyes, and then he regained his calm: "Please!" ”

As soon as Wang Qinglu came in, Zhou Jun had already said coldly: "Are you here to be a lobbyist?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Qinglu didn't hide it at all: "I'm here to find a way out for Master Zhou." ”

"Survival?" Zhou Jun sneered.

Wang Qinglu sat down with a grin: "Why do I decide [***] to only bombard your master?" Don't hit the rest? ”

This is also the place where Zhou Jun wonders the most, after the outbreak of the battle to unify Sichuan in Ding[***], he has never had a head-on conflict with Ding[***], why did the coalition encounter such a situation as soon as it was established?

"We didn't fight your division before, because there was no conflict between your division and our army, and Wang Dudu has always admired the division commander as a person, so why should everyone turn their faces?" helped Zhou Jun solve the mystery in his heart, Wang Qinglu continued:

"But now it's different, why did Division Commander Zhou join the coalition army? What is a coalition force? It's just a patchwork rabble, and sooner or later it will be defeated, so why should Master Zhou get caught in it? ”

Zhou Jun was a little annoyed: "Then why did Wang Hengyue bombard me with all the cannons?" ”

"It's just a matter of concealment." Wang Qinglu smiled and said: "Division Commander Zhou imagines, if I decide to [***] concentrate all the artillery forces to attack, will Division Commander Zhou's troops still survive?" Since the shelling, can the two wings and Chengdu have a soldier to help? The so-called coalition forces are just people with their own ghosts. ”

Zhou Jun was silent, but he didn't seem to understand the words "hide people's eyes and ears".

"Today's Sichuan, the Sichuan of the royal capital, and the Sichuan of no one else, can't Master Zhou still see it? Does Division Commander Zhou have to be stubborn, and only then will the whole army be wiped out here? ”

"That" Zhou Jun hesitated a little.

Wang Qinglu smiled, and then his face turned straight:

"On the orders of Wang Hengyue, the governor of the Sichuan military and political axe and the commander-in-chief of Ding[***], Zhou Jun's division was reorganized into the seventh division of Ding[***], and Zhou Jun was still the division commander, and he was given a salary of 100,000 yuan to reward the loyalty of the commander of Zhou!"

Zhou Jun saluted: "Ding [***] Seventh Division Commander Zhou Jun, thank you for the grace of the governor's reconstruction!" ”
