Chapter 186: Soldiers are not tired of cheating

The envoys of some allies came from afar, and although they were each ~ all the same, they all needed the full support of the commander-in-chief, after all, among the current forces in Sichuan, the strength of the Republican Army was the strongest. **.Provide this book TXT e-book download**

Zhao Bei exchanged pleasantries with these representatives, led everyone into the big tent of the former enemy headquarters, served tea, served seats, and had a thorough courtesy.

Now that the republican army has come to the city, Chengdu refers to rì can go down, there is no need to share the peaches with others, Zhao Bei understands this truth, and naturally will not give it to others, in Zhao Bei's view, the Communist Association and Endeavor will take advantage of the rì himself to make trouble in Hubei when they jump up and down in Sichuan, it is really a danger to take advantage of the people, especially the Endeavor Association from northern Sichuan, not only rushed to Chengdu first, but also did not know what means to "appease" the Northern Sichuan People's Army, even Xiong Kewu, who Zhao Bei painstakingly cultivated, also worked for Yang Wangpeng, It's a bit depressing.

Of course, these two groups of people also have merit, at least they successfully contained part of the Qing army's strength, alleviated the resistance to the republican army's advance, and also contributed to the revolutionary cause, but considering that northern Sichuan has become the territory of the Endeavor Association, and Guizhou has also fallen into the hands of the Communist Association, this can be regarded as their reward, and they can't be too greedy, otherwise they don't know how to elevate themselves, since the commander-in-chief has temporarily acquiesced to their sphere of influence, then, this Chengdu government has to be left to the republican army to enjoy anyway, The well salt in Luzhou could not be ceded to the Gongjin Association.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief Gu was talking about it, Ju Zheng and Deng Gang were confused, and they couldn't figure out what the idea of the majestic commander-in-chief was, so they had to wait patiently for him to finish. Seeing the republican army marching all the way and invincible, the communist association and the endeavor will be envious and jealous, and they are quite unconvinced, in their opinion, the reason why the republican army is strong in combat is that it is stained with the light of the Hanyang Arsenal, and this is precisely their weakness, without the support of the republican army, they even have to count the shells one by one, how can they be like the artillery of the republican army can bombard for half a day in one breath?

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are one step late or one step early, you can see our Republican plane, today we carried out an air raid on Chengdu, and now, I am afraid that the old and young Manchu remnants in the city are busy digging tunnels to avoid it. Originally, I planned to transfer a few large-caliber siege guns from Wuhan, but considering the safety of the people in Chengdu, the artillery was still not transferred to Sichuan. ”

Zhao Bei talked for a long time and slowly returned to the military, but he still did not mention the matter of joint operations, but only suggested that the revolutionary comrades should first stabilize the social order in the recovered areas and establish a reliable local political power.

Ju Zheng and Deng Gang: No matter how slow it is, at this time they have already tasted the meaning of the commander-in-chief's words, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes, but it was inconvenient to vent it, and now they had to look up to others.

It was not easy to wait for the commander-in-chief to finish his verbosity and take the tea to moisten his throat, Ju Zheng found an opportunity to interject and said: "The commander-in-chief is deeply impressed. However, at present, our army has stabilized the recovered area, and it is completely possible to free up troops to attack Luzhou, and once Luzhou is occupied, the Qing army's source of food and salary will be cut off. Now what our army lacks is nothing more than artillery shells and guns, and if there are enough ammunition and weapons, our army can guarantee to take the state capital city within half a month. ”

Zhao looked at the right and said slowly: "Now that the battle of Chengdu has begun, our army is still short of shells, and there is really no way to support your troops." These shells were all transported here from Wuhan one by one, and the Sichuan River sailed on the boat, so I don't need to be verbose? Don't look at the fact that our army has a lot of artillery shells, but once the Sichuan River channel is blocked, our artillery will have to rest. In my opinion, your ministry can take a break for a while, and when I solve Zhao Erxun, I will personally lead the army to southern Sichuan, and cooperate with your ministry to take Luzhou and recover the whole of Sichuan. ”

Ju Zheng was choked by Zhao Bei. I almost had a seizure on the spot.; Before leaving, Sun Wu and others entrusted. I had to suppress the anger in my heart. Change your strategy. said: "Since the commander-in-chief cannot support the shells. Is it possible to provide some food as appropriate? When I came from southern Sichuan. Our army does not carry much grain and grass on the ground. Now he is killing mules to satisfy his hunger. The southern Sichuan area is not a land of fish and rice. Poor mountains and bad waters. It is not easy to raise grain and grass. The local tyrants refused to cooperate. The commander-in-chief could not watch the revolutionary comrades starve? ”

Starving? Who told you to rush down the mountain to pick peaches? In order to go faster. I didn't even bring much food. I really thought that Sichuan was full of the land of abundance.

Zhao Bei put down the teacup. I touched my chin. said: "My army doesn't have much food and grass." It's the chūn season. Only after the summer harvest will there be surplus food. As the saying goes, 'the lake is ripe.' The world is foot'. Look at the granary. Hubei is not as good as your Hunan. Your ministry is short of food. Presumably not because there is no food in Hunan. But it can't be shipped in? It's not as good as this. Collect more grain ships in Hunan. Deliver the grain to Kuimen. I'll send a boat to pick it up. There is no charge for your boat. How is it? ”

Ju Zheng spread his hands. He asked, "Bring grain into Sichuan." At least a month. I'm afraid that the food is not yet available

The army has run out of food. ”

Zhao Bei turned his head. asked Lan Tianwei: "How long do we have enough food to eat?" ”

Lan Tianwei said: "A full meal can be eaten for two or three months, and the next batch of military rations will not be scheduled for transportation until next month." ”

Zhao Bei nodded, and said to Juzheng: "There are not enough ships, the transportation capacity is tight, and we also have difficulties, but since the revolutionary comrades are more difficult than us, we can't be too selfish, so I will borrow you a month's grain first, which is enough for you to sustain the grain transportation in Hunan." I'll give you a slip right away, and you can send the grain back as soon as you hit the receipt, and those peasant reclamation regiments and labor brigades of the Republican Army can help you transport it, and as for the price of grain, it's easy to negotiate, just collect a batch of grain of the same amount in Hunan and transport it to Wuhan. ”

"What about the bullets?" Juzheng was a little unwilling.

"I can support you with another 500 rifles, each gun with 200 bullets, and when I take Chengdu, I will support you with some guns." Zhao Bei was very generous and sent Ju Zheng away.

Deng Gang saw that Ju Zheng had hit a nail that was not soft and hard, and he thought that he was not so eloquent, and he had Zhao Bei, and he disdained Zhao Bei's warlord style, so he simply went straight to the point and said: "Please give the commander-in-chief the order to launch a general attack, and I will actively cooperate with the Endeavor Association, break through the defense line of Peng County in one fell swoop, attack from north to south, and cooperate with your army to take Chengdu!" ”

Zhao Bei tapped his fingers on the Eight Immortals table beside him while thinking about Deng Gang's proposal. Now Endeavor will be blocked by the Qing army in Hanzhou, Pengxian area between the mountains and mountains, almost an inch is difficult to move, after the republican army arrived in the suburbs of Chengdu, Zhao Erxun did not relax the defense there, so until now, Endeavor will still be trapped in Hanzhou, Peng County line, this morning, Zhao Bei has sent a detour to the north of Chengdu, testing xìng launched a small-scale attack on the enemy army in Laijiadian, the Qing army had to transfer troops from the north to the south to reinforce, seeing this situation, Zhao Bei immediately ordered to stop the attack, He didn't want to see Endeavor break through the northern defense line and move south, and the best way to block them with the Qing army was to block them.

"The ministry has contained more than 10,000 Qing troops in Hanzhou and Peng County, which is really indispensable, and I hope that your ministry will make persistent efforts to contribute to the revolution. Our army is preparing to launch a general attack on Chengdu in five days, and at that time, Zhao will definitely divide his troops to the north, and plan your troops to break through the Qing army's defense line and go south, and join the army under the city of Chengdu. ”

Zhao said truthfully, and at the same time made up his mind in his heart, he launched a general attack on Chengdu that night, no matter what, he had to swallow the city alone, especially the almost complete arsenal, and it could not fall into the hands of others.

After dealing with Ju Zheng and Deng Gang, Zhao Bei had a detailed discussion with the two division liaison officers for a while, and it was also full of empty checks, fooling the two people so that they didn't know where they were, as for the gold bars and tobacco sent by the two, Zhao Bei also received them correctly, and the gold bars were put into the small treasury of the jǐng guard, and the tobacco and soil would not be wasted, and the military doctor would make it into opium tincture, which was a good thing, a savior for the wounded.

Zhao Bei sent the four out of the military tent and found that Tian Jinfu, the captain of the guard, was waiting outside the tent with two middle-aged men in robes and horse coats. Seeing the commander-in-chief come out, the two hurriedly took off their melon skin hats and bowed, Tian Jinfu walked over, handed a letter to Zhao Bei, and said: "Zhao Erxun, the governor of Sichuan in the puppet Qing Dynasty, please surrender!" This is a surrender, please look at it by the commander-in-chief. ”

Everyone was stunned, Ju Zheng and Deng Gang were even more surprised, but they heard Zhao Bei say: "Yesterday I sent someone to persuade you to surrender, didn't Zhao Erxun keep saying that he wanted to live and die with Jiancheng?" Why have you changed your mind now? ”

Tian Jinfu pointed back and said: "Listening to the two people who delivered the letter, our plane circled around the city twice, and Zhao Erxun changed his mind, he was afraid that we would throw bombs on his head again, and he was even more afraid that the army in the city would mutiny." However, the conditions can be mentioned a lot, as if he came to persuade us to surrender. ”

It seems that the operation of the flying team to attack without authorization cannot be regarded as a failure, at least the psychological deterrent effect has been achieved.

"That's the Air Force's tremendous deterrent. As for the conditions, he can sit on the ground and start the price, and of course we can also pay back the money on the ground. ”

Zhao Bei opened the letter with a smile, only glanced at it a few times, and before he could read the surrender conditions, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he scolded angrily: "Hmph! What's that? Please surrender to the republic, ask President Yuan Da to surrender, not to my republican army? Do you want to be an official after surrendering? …… Who does he think he is? Bah! Send someone to tell him that now the Republican Army will represent the Republic, and I, Zhao Bei, will represent President Yuan! If he wants to surrender, he can only surrender to me, and surrendering to others is a false surrender, and for a false surrender, our Republican Army will deal a head-on blow! Give him twenty-four hours to think about it, and if he doesn't land within the time limit, I will send a hundred planes to carry out carpet bombing, even if he Zhao Erxun hides in the mouse hole, he will be blown out! ”

Now that the deterrent power of the Air Force has been manifested, it is very necessary to further develop this deterrent power.

Anyway, the generals of the Qing army are mostly dirty buns, and it is easier to blackmail.

This is called "soldiers never get tired of deceit".
