The Battle of Yunnan was already doomed from the beginning of the civil strife in Kunming!

Gu Pinzhen in Songming, when he learned the news of the Kunming Civil War, the whole person stayed there, and he knew very well:

It's time for everything to come to an end!

The defeat of the Battle of Yunnan could no longer be avoided for the Dian army, and all he could do was to fulfill the last duty of a soldier.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of honor for military personnel.

Jiang Baili had already sent someone to persuade him to surrender, but he refused, not for anything else, but for two words that seemed a little ridiculous and naïve:

Honor!

In the eyes of others, these two words may not be nothing, but in their own eyes, there is nothing more precious than this!

Jiang Baili also had some helplessness, he could win on the battlefield, but he couldn't change the determination of a real soldier.

And just when Jiang Baili was preparing to launch a final onslaught against Songming, a letter from Wang Hengyue from Guizhou to Gu Pinzhen arrived.

Jiang Baili sent someone to deliver the letter to Gu Pinzhen's hand

"Mr. Shinozai Taiqi"

Gu Pinzhen opened the letter, which was written by Wang Hengyue himself:

"In the past, in the battle to protect the country, Mr. fought loyally and bravely, fought bravely regardless of death, and defeated Beiyang, which can be sung and cried, and the country and the nation will never forget. In order to defend Yunnan, Mr. Jin said that he was still fighting alone and moving the world

Hengyue is not for his own selfishness, he wants to seek the land of Yunnan, but for the southwest. In today's national turmoil, the southwest is in a corner, and if you divide it, you can't protect yourself, and if you don't cherish it, you can be self-reliant."

Gu Pinzhen locked herself in the headquarters for half a day, and no one knew what the former enemy commander-in-chief was thinking.

The offensive of [***] also suddenly stopped, and it seemed that he was also cooperating with Wang Hengyue there, making a final effort to win over Gu Pinzhen

When it was getting late, Gu Pinzhen finally walked out of his headquarters, he summoned all his officers above the regiment to his side, and said straight to the point:

"I'm ready to make peace with [***]."

No one speaks, and everyone knows what "peace talks" means.

"The war is over for us." Gu Pinzhen's voice sounded very heavy: "On the opposite side of us, there are troops that are far superior to us, just firing artillery can bomb us here, I am determined to die, in order to repay Cai Du's cultivation of me at the beginning, but Wang Hengyue sent me a letter, he asked me on it, even if I don't cherish my own life, don't I cherish the lives of thousands of soldiers in the Yunnan army?"

He sighed softly:

Originally, no matter how clever Wang Hengyue was, I wouldn't be tempted, but this sentence moved me. It doesn't matter if I die alone, but there are so many brothers in the Dian army, why should they accompany me to die when they know that they will inevitably fail? It's over, the war should be over, since Wang Hengyue wants to unify Yunnan, let him unify it."

When Gu Pinzhen finished saying these words, he seemed to have unloaded a thousand-pound package

On October 16, 1917, the day after the Kunming Rebellion, Gu Pinzhen, the former commander-in-chief of the Yunnan army, ordered the troops to stop shooting and sent negotiators to negotiate with the Sichuan army.

Jiang Baili accepted Gu Pinzhen's eight conditions, including treating the Yunnan army well and giving full guarantee and respect to the lives of the soldiers of the Yunnan army.

After that, Gu Pinzhen, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Yunnan army, ordered the front-line Yunnan army to stop armed resistance, garrison the position, and wait for the [***] receiving position

The war on the front line is over.

When Jiang Baili and Gu Pinzhen met, they were very calm, and Gu Pinzhen even treated her boss with a solemn military salute to Jiang Baili!

Cai Ye is his old boss, and Jiang Baili is Cai Du's good friend, so there is nothing wrong with this.

"Where is Commander Gu going?" Jiang Baili asked.

Gu Pinzhen sighed: "Where am I still the commander-in-chief now?" If you allow, please ask Commander-in-Chief Chiang to give me a horse, and I will henceforth leave the army and continue the family business and practice medicine. ”

"Practicing medicine?" Jiang Baili's eyebrows jumped: "Brother Xiaozhai has been in the army for a long time, it's a pity, right?" ”

Gu Pinzhen smiled: "There's nothing to be sorry for, my father wanted me to be a doctor before, but I just put on this dress, and now I just take this opportunity to leave the army and study medical skills well, which can be regarded as an explanation to my father."

Suddenly, his eyes were a little dim: "If I must have studied medicine hard back then, maybe Cai Du wouldn't"

Jiang Baili didn't keep Gu Pinzhen, everyone has their own ambitions, even if he stays behind, it doesn't make sense

Gu Pinzhen, the word Xiaozhai, a native of Kunming, was born into a family of doctors. Epiphytic at the end of the Qing Dynasty. In 1909, he returned to Yunnan from Yueben and served as a military instructor and cavalry section chief of the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall. In 1911, he successively served as the commander of the cavalry, the captain of the student apprentice team of the Yunnan Army Martial Arts School, the principal, the director of the arsenal, the commander of the Second Brigade of the Army, the commander of the Lieutenant General of the Second Division, the commander of the Lieutenant General of the Sixth Division, and the superintendent of the Yunnan Lecture and Martial Arts Hall. In 1917, after the defeat in the Battle of Sichuan-Yunnan, he left the army.

Since then, Gu Pinzhen has devoted herself to practicing medicine, studying medical skills, and has become a well-known local doctor in Yunnan.

He once commanded the storm, and in the battle to protect the country, under the command of Cai Yi, he defeated Beiyang. But when the pencil is washed away, maybe living an ordinary life is the most carefree

The front line has been defeated, and in the city of Kunming, the decisive battle has also reached the last moment!

The Guizhou army first rebelled, then defected to Yu Ding [***], and once again launched a fierce attack on the Dian army in the city.

The battle was very fierce, and Tang Jiyao and Zhao Youxin knew very well that this would be the final decisive battle of the Battle of Yunnan!

The Dian army inside and outside the city launched an offensive in an attempt to recapture the city gate. However, the Sichuan-Guizhou coalition army was stubbornly guarding its position, waiting for the arrival of the main force.

As the minutes passed, every delay was a step closer to danger

Zhao Youxin personally appeared on the battlefield, personally commanded the troops, and launched waves of attacks in the direction of the city gate.

It was at this time that a new situation occurred:

The commanders of a brigade of the Yunnan Army declared neutrality and no longer participated in the battle!

This brigade commander enjoyed high prestige among the Yunnan army, and his neutrality caught Zhao Youxin off guard.

Fortress, most afraid of being conquered from the inside!

The situation was a little out of control, and the Dian army was panicked.

This gave Liu Zhaocheng, who was commanding the battlefield, time to rearrange! He quickly adjusted his forces, mixing the 7th Brigade with the defective Guizhou Army to block pressure from both directions.

"The Dian army seems to be a little chaotic." He Yingqin pointed ahead.

Liu Zhaocheng picked up the telescope and looked at the opposite side, although he didn't know what was going on there, he immediately said:

"Brigade Commander He, you continue to command the battle here, and I will lead two battalions to attack it!"

"Attacking it backwards?" He Yingqin did not understand the intention for a while.

Liu Zhaocheng said calmly: "We must hold on until the arrival of the main force, the strength of the Yunnan army is better than mine, we lack heavy weapons, I don't know how long we can defend, the pressure on both sides is too great, taking advantage of the current chaos of the Yunnan army, I will attack it, and I can buy time for us!" ”

He Yingqin was a little glad that he was early anyway.

These [***] futures are too capable of fighting, and if they haven't defected yet, or they won't be long before they become prisoners

Ding[***]'s sudden counterattack caught the Dian army off guard.

There are many generals in the Yunnan army who can fight and dare to fight, and there are many brave and not afraid of the dead, but the only thing lacking is a handsome person who can grasp the overall situation!

As soon as Cai Ye left, it can be said that it was a major loss for the Dian army!

Under the onslaught of the two battalions under the personal command of Liu Zhaocheng, the large number of Yunnan troops was in chaos and retreated continuously, so that the pressure of the Sichuan-Guizhou coalition army was reduced in vain.

Zhao Youxin continued to press one after another, and only then did he barely stabilize his position.

But Liu Zhaocheng, who made a breakthrough, did not take advantage of the situation to continue the attack, but built a defensive line on the spot, and won another buffer area for the defenders in the direction of the city gate!

Zhao Youxin is really anxious, if it goes on like this, Kunming will no longer be Tang Overseer's!

The officers who were personally selected by Zhao Youxin formed an officer death squad, and launched the most ferocious attack on Ding [***] with a "whoop".

The battle was fought very brutally, and time was everything for both sides.

At the same time, the Dian army outside the city also intensified its attack, trying to break the barrier as soon as possible and join up with the friendly forces in the city!

Gunpowder smoke filled Kunming, and explosions shook the earth.

The last battle of the Battle of Yunnan was in full swing in Kunming.

He Yingqin was a little unbearable.

Those Dian troops can really fight, and only one wave can be repulsed, and a wave of "whooping" screamed and rushed up again.

But He Yingqin had no choice but to bite the bullet and grit his teeth and continue to persevere!

Casualties are mounting, and some of the forward positions have been broken through by the Dian army.

He Yingqin personally shot a platoon commander who gave up his position, which stabilized the morale of the army a little. How long can you hold on? If you continue to fight like this, you may not be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Tang Jiyao wants to kill himself, and Wang Wenhua also wants to kill himself, what will be his fate?

At this time, the Dian army, which was attacking fiercely, suddenly became chaotic. Countless loud military horns sounded, and countless soldiers appeared behind the Dian army.

Military flags flew there, and the big characters on the military flags were impressive:

Conquer the country and rebel!

At the most critical time, the two regiments of the guard division commanded by Jia Haoyang finally appeared on the battlefield.

"Whew-" He Yingqin let out a long sigh of relief.

All the officers and men of the Sichuan-Guizhou coalition army also breathed a sigh of relief.

The battle of Yunnan has come to this point, and the curtain has finally come to an end!
