Liu Wenhui was furious when he received a reply that more than 8 million arms could no longer be recovered, but he did not stop the bloody action of searching for ** and killing progressive young students in Chengdu and "all parts of the south," but intensified his butcher's knife. The reason why Liu Wenhui, who was born as a big landowner www.biquge.info, did this: first, the communist movement in the Chengdu area was growing stronger day by day, and the slogan of dividing the land, land, and family property greatly angered the Liu Wenhui family, which owned tens of thousands of acres of land, silver villages, mines, and workshops, and the generals and colonels under his command who were born as landlords; and second, through the bloody suppression of the communist movement, in exchange for the favor of the Nanjing enemy government and Chiang Kai-shek, who tried their best to suppress the communists.

At this time, Xu Yuanquan, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 16th Route Army, led two divisions up the river, and after the commander-in-chief Xu Yuanquan and other generals met with An Yi and He Guoguang, the director of the Yichang camp, the commander of the Fifth Army, the headquarters did not make any stops, continued to go to Enshi, and began to encircle and chop the Helong Army active in the border area of J and Hunan.

Xu Yuanquan himself was very reluctant to drive to the western Hubei region to engrave the Communist Party, and many generals at the headquarters also pushed the affairs of the Western Hubei Communist Party to the head of the Fifth Army Corps, but the commander of the corps, An Yi, repeatedly emphasized that the three divisions of the 24th Army were all new divisions, and they were still in training, and had not formed combat effectiveness, and the 16th, 17th, and 44th divisions were replenishing troops and updating equipment, and could not shoulder the heavy task of cutting the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-shek also did not tell the headquarters general of the important mission of the Fifth Army Corps, but only vaguely said that An Yi's opinion was worthy of attention, and the 24th Army belonged to the local army, and without the central government's appropriation, it was understandable that the army construction would be slower, so Xu Yuanquan could only lead the two divisions of Gangzhou to Enshi under the order of the General Headquarters, and began to fight with the Red Second Army Corps, which had increased dramatically in number and increased its combat effectiveness exponentially.

On the surface, the Fifth Army seemed to be excellent and unfazed, but secretly it was in full swing to carry out pre-war preparations, and the 17th Division of Zhu Shigui, which had completed its rearmament, had already begun to move south in batches, passing through the public security and Changde in Zhanxian County, and secretly drove to Qiancheng in Xiangxi to assemble; Gu Changfeng's 44th Division passed through Yidu and Shimen, and drove to Xiangxi to be on standby.

The 16 th Division of Yin Jinan, stationed in Yichang, guarded Shengui and Yidu, while the three divisions of the 24 th Army in the three counties of Dangyang remained as they were and continued to train hard, and the local people saw every day that panting officers and soldiers haunted the roads, barren mountains and mountains, and the explosions of artillery shells and the sound of intensive shooting were heard from time to time in the valleys on the outskirts of the counties, which had been temporarily requisitioned as shooting ranges.

On December 28, Tian Songyao, who was attached to Liu Wenhui's feathers, had to lead thousands of soldiers under his command to go north to Shaanxi and Gansu, where the army was empty, to create another territory and find a way to live.

On the New Year's Day of 1931, the 20th year of the Republic of China, the state government awarded medals to more than 80 generals, including Zhang Xueliang, He Yingqin, Zhu Peide, Liu Zhi, An Yi, Gu Zhusi, and Jiang Dingwen.

The cautious Kexiang personally drafted ~ a copy of "An Jige" to Chiang Kai-shek, showing his firm determination to support the central government, and emphatically pointed out that the reason why the civil war continued and was divided was completely because the unification of the army and the unity of finances was completely unified, and the delay in achieving this goal was entirely due to Liu Wenhui's obstruction and support for the army.

Chiang Kai-shek praised Liu Xiang's opinion very much, appreciated his firm support for the central government and the first position, personally revised the book to appease and encourage, hinting at the four after reunification. The position of the provincial chairman and the superintendent of the province is none other than Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang received Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten reply, and his heart was full of confidence, and he was full of confidence for a while, and once again sent his confidant Qiao Yifu to Yichang, where he secretly met with He Guoguang, who had always supported him in unifying the four ratios, and invited Nizeng, a special commissioner of the Central Committee who would go to Chengdu to "inspect party affairs", to Chongqing, and began to start a political alliance, secretly mobilize troops, unite forces from all sides, and start a full-scale war against Liu Wenhui.

On the 12th of January, Luo Zebo's 23rd Division, stationed in Yingshan, under the instruction of Liu Xiang, suddenly attacked Liu Yungen's brigade of Liu Wenhui's department stationed in Shunqing Mansion (Nanchong), and fiercely attacked the "Erliu" war.

During the war, Liu Yungen, Luo Paizhan and other generals of the two factions sent telegrams to the central government one after another, condemning the other side for provoking the incident and creating a war, and asking the central government to send personnel to mediate and stop it. ”

Chiang Kai-shek immediately made a high-profile statement, advising both sides of the conflict to remain rational and wait for the central authorities to send personnel to mediate. The next day, 94 people, including Liu Xiang and the alliance's generals Tang Shizun, Sun Zhen, Li Jiayu, and Luo Zezhou, sent a joint telegram and proposed "Governing J, Sixteen Outlines" to invite Liu Xiang, Bang Xihou, Tian Songyao, Yang Sen, Liu Cunhou and other military broads to come to Zaoning to discuss the plan.

Liu Wenhui was once again deceived by Liu Xiang's clever political skills, thinking that in this way, in order to survive, the various forces would not let Liu Xiang's family dominate, so he slowed down his preparations for war and cleared his brother Liu Shengting to Chongqing to meet Liu Xiang to seek the right way to compromise and solve the problem.

Who knew that on the 19th, the meeting of the powerful and powerful from all walks of life under the manipulation of Liu Xiang ended, and Liu Xiangshun was smoothly and smoothly elected as "Commander-in-Chief of Kang Jingjing and Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Route Army."

Liu Xiang, who was recognized by both the central and local governments, finally showed his grandeur, and immediately telegraphed the whole country, accusing Liu Wenhui of "capricious and indiscriminate use of troops, harming Sangzhang for the sake of Bashu and Yiyi", saying that he would "lean himself into defending the Dao, encourage the master and apprentice, and work with friendly troops to stop it left and right", so that the "Second Liu War" was in full swing, and the two Liu Xiang and the coalition forces came prepared, and suddenly moved, and it only took a week to cook the eight counties of Lining, Jiangjin, Taonan, and Zhenweijing, Liu Wenhui had to resist hard, and retreated step by step, north to Shunqing, Chengdu, so under the separate onslaught of Liu Xiang's troops and the coalition army, the defense line was instantly full of holes, and had to give up nearly half of the area, shrink the defense line, and retreat sharply to the important strategic areas along the Tuojiang River.

Liu Xiang was unrelenting, continued to wave his division and attacked fiercely, sent planes to bomb indiscriminately, frequently assisted in the battle, fought hard for nearly 10 days, paid the price of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the battle, and finally crossed the Tuojiang River, successively occupied Neijiang, Fushun and Ziliujing counties, quickly advanced to force Rong County, Weiyuan line, and launched a fateful decisive battle with the five divisions of Liu Wenhui's division who had once again built a defensive line.

Liu Wenhui was anxious to recruit troops to resist with all his might, and he regretted very much that he generously supported the two divisions of Hu Ruoyu's division of the Yunnan army two months ago, and took advantage of the fact that Long Yun led the main force in Guangxi to be defeated by Bai Chongxi's Gui army, which was turned back and slammed into the water, waved his army aggressively, and attacked the city all the way to Kunming.

Under the circumstance that the consumption of weapons and ammunition was drastic and could not be replenished, Liu Wenhui could only endure the pain and take out 50,000 taels of gold, send a personal guard regiment to gallop to Qiancheng in western Hunan Province, purchase spiritual weapons and ammunition, and begged Zhang Hongza, commander of the 44th Army, who had always maintained a good cooperative relationship, to send troops to help the war Second Zhang Hongyan warmly received Liu Wenhui's envoy, and quickly sent 3 million bullets, 10,000 rifles, and 300 light machine guns to Liu Wenhui's territory as quickly as possible. Since Liu Wenhui's unit was not recognized by the central government, the officers and men of the 44 th Army had no choice but to give full support in terms of weapons, ammunition, and war materials, even if they wanted to help.

A large amount of money was sprinkled, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were quickly exchanged, Liu Wenhui, who was struggling with the demon war, was already satisfied, and he had no hope for Zhang Hongxiang to send troops to help the war, but he didn't expect Zhang Hongfei, who had been friendly in business, to be so interesting, not only did not take the opportunity to raise the price, but instead euphemistically explained the situation and generously supported many weapons and ammunition, which made Liu Wenhui's entire defense line suddenly full of vitality, and defeated the attack of Liu Xiang and other coalition forces twice as much as his own several times, and gradually reversed the situation. Drag the war into a state of copper war.

Liu Xiang did not expect that Liu Wenhui's resistance would be so tenacious, nor did he expect that Liu Wenhui's brother Liu Wencai, the "King of Hunan", a small garrison commander, would be able to recruit more than 20,000 soldiers to supplement the front line in just seven days to confront his own side.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xiang could only postpone the offensive, and once again sent a secret envoy with a large amount of gold and silver to quietly go to Cizhou to buy Yang Shangzhou and Tian Guanwu, the generals under Liu Wenhui, who were guarding Huzhou. Prior to this, Liu Xiang's Xi army master Liu Congyun led a division of "divine soldiers" to besiege Huzhou, and fought for more than 20 days without shaking a single bit.

The news that Liu Xiang sent a secret envoy to Yuanzhou to buy the guards was soon learned by An Yi's secret intelligence system, and Zhang Hongmeng quickly reported that Liu Wenhui knew about it.

Liu Wenhui, who was greatly frightened, immediately sent his cousin and nephew to lead a new brigade to Huzhou, and sent Yang Shangzhou and Tian Guanwu, the guards who were about to open the city gate and surrender, to send a deeply affectionate handwritten letter and a reward of 100,000 yuan in the ocean, and that night, Zhang Hongli's brigade of 5,000 soldiers who had taken off their military uniforms and disguised themselves as mountain people, carrying heavy dry rations, canned food, ammunition and 10 half-new August 1 mortars rushed to Wuli Pavilion in the south of Huzhou City, handed over all the supplies to the defenders, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The morale of the defenders who had received too much supply was greatly boosted for a while, and the next day the sky was slightly bright, Liu Wencai's cousin Liu Zhenxian personally led a special agent company, quietly set up ten mortars, aimed at Liu Congyun's headquarters under the Bachelor's Mountain in the north of the city, and fired a fifteen volley, blowing up Liu Congyun and forty-nine strangely dressed disciples who were fighting with swords, running wildly, and fleeing without a trace in a blink of an eye.

The brave brigade commander Yang Zhizhou immediately led an 800-man death squad out of the city gate, roared angrily and rushed into the enemy formation, using light machine guns, flower machine guns and broadswords to kill fiercely.

In the headquarters of the 44th Army in Qiancheng, Xiangxi, Zhang Hongza and Bang Bin received the battle report from the reconnaissance detachment at the front, and finally put their minds at ease.

An Yi in the Yiling camp in the north of Yichang City received Zhang Hongza's secret report, checked the map, and also exhaled heavily, Liu Wenhui held Huzhou City, and the effect on An Yi's troops was too great, if Huzhou was captured by Liu Xiang, An Yi not only did not enter" the excuse, but also did not know when he would be able to occupy the coveted southern Sichuan and "southwest region."
