Chapter 327: Defeat

Liu Shoushan, who was full of confidence and spoke big in front of Deng Xihou, was eaten under the night attack of the 15th Route Army, and was annoyed and angry at the moment, and personally led his troops to counterattack Geng Youmin's troops. The two sides fought fiercely in the Wujia Village in Pingwu County, and the sound of artillery was loud. Liu Shoushan's main force fought for two days and finally repelled most of Geng Youmin's troops, and Liu Shoushan, who felt proud of himself, immediately led his troops to chase and fight the enemy army, and was famous all over the world, and faintly felt that the 15th Route Army, which had become the strongest army in the Republic of China, was nothing more than that. I'm afraid that after this war, not to mention in the Sichuan army, that is, in the entire Republic of China, he Liu Shoushan will become famous in a war. After all, as strong as Japan, he couldn't beat the opponent like him in one go.

Thinking of Liu Shoushan, who was about to become a famous general in China, he was full of spirits, and as for the telegram sent by Deng Xihou reminding him to be cautious in the use of troops, Liu Shoushan was afraid that the 15th Route Army would be fraudulent, and Liu Shoushan only regarded it as Deng Xihou jealous of his victory, after all, although Deng Xihou lived under Liu Xiang, Deng Xihou was one of the princes of central Sichuan who grew up with Liu Xiang in an era, and he had also done things that were opposed to Liu Xiang. After ignoring Deng Xihou's Japan, Liu Shouchun used all the forces he could call on to counterattack the enemy. In one fell swoop, Geng Youmin's troops were compressed to the Sichuan-Gansu junction area. However, at this time, a soldier commanded by Ma Zhuang and a regiment and battalion of Hong Chengwen's department had successfully detoured back to the left and right flanks of Liu Shouchun's department. An imperfect encirclement was formed with the troops who returned from Geng Youmin's counterattack, and under the attack from three sides, Liu Shouchun's troops, who were accustomed to fighting the Sichuan War, only supported for a few hours before they were defeated. A considerable number of them surrendered under the persuasion of the Sichuan army of Hong Chengwen's department. The others collapsed. Liu Shouchun was blinded by the ferocious counterattack of the 15th Route Army. Even when the guards dragged him out of the encirclement, he didn't come back to his senses.

"Stupid, Liu Shouchun, this pig, it doesn't matter if you die by yourself, you missed my big event." After Deng Xihou received the news of Liu Shouchun's defeat, he tore the telegram in his hand to shreds, and angrily greeted all the women in Liu Shouchun's family.

"Brother-in-law, the other party is menacing, what should we do now?" Deng Xihou's brother-in-law Chen Jing scratched his head and asked. "Now that Liu Shouchun is defeated, the previous arrangement has revealed a lot of holes, if the 15th Route Army pours in now, I'm afraid we will also break our bones, but if we retreat, I'm afraid that Liu Shouchun's little troops who escaped will be swallowed back by the 15th Route Army, and it is not easy to explain to the provincial chairman, it is really difficult to do."

"What's so difficult to do, Liu Shouchun is greedy for merit, and I didn't cure him of the crime of defeating the army. Do you still expect to save him and put my troops in there? The order was given to the whole army to retreat. Deng Xihou smiled coldly. This brother-in-law still has some skills, and he can see at a glance the impact of Liu Shouchun's defeat on the overall situation in northern Sichuan, but no matter how high Liu Xiang's status in Sichuan is, he will not be blamed for a defeated general. Before the two bulls fought for Sichuan, the reason why Liu Xiang was able to defeat his uncle Liu Wenhui was that he made a great effort.

"Brother-in-law, in this way, I have let out five or six counties in northern Sichuan." Chen Jing said in surprise.

"It's better to let it go than to put the capital in." Deng Xihou also said with some pain on his face, this retreat, the 15th Route Army can take advantage of the situation to occupy at least five or six counties. Two of them were under his original rule.

After a flip of adjustments, three days later, Deng Xihou and Ma Zhuang officially handed over, do not know if they don't fight, they were startled, they lost a division after only three days, Deng Xihou, who cherished feathers, hurriedly collected his troops and retreated, with such a consumption rate, I am afraid that before the 15th Route Army was beaten away, a little strength in his hands was exhausted, not to mention that at this time it was rumored that Jiang Li would send two more brigades into Sichuan. No wonder Liu Shouchun suffered defeat before, and it seems that it was not all caused by carelessness.

"The surname is Jiang, I am an immortal banban, Sun Dianying, you are gutsless, Lao Tzu and Jiang Li beat their heads and bloody, you shrank behind and watched the play, you are really fucking eggless."

Deng Xihou met in northern Sichuan and broke his blood, and the whole army retreated without waiting for his order, Liu Xiang scolded at this time, and scolded Sun Dianying, who had originally agreed to attack the 15th Route Army together. Completely forgetting that he decided to attack first. The battle had begun, and at this time the Sichuan army had already been difficult to ride a tiger, so it had to grit its teeth and hold on.

It was already half a month later when the army was mobilized again and converged with the Deng Xihou troops who had lost one after another, and the Ma Zhuang army group fought several battles intermittently for nearly half a month, and when the various departments reached a huge advantage of more than 80,000 people in the strength of Qi Yi, they once pressed the troops of more than 20,000 people in the Ma Zhuang cluster to Qingchuan and Pingwu County. In this small area, plus a brigade reinforced from the rear, there were more than 100,000 soldiers on both sides. Although the scale of the warlord melee in central Sichuan is still not obvious compared to the original hundreds of thousands of people, if it is a small area, the intensity of its troops will refresh the insight of Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao in the past. At this time, the Sichuan army was still increasing its troops, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and it might not take long for the Yellow River to freeze. However, seeing that the battle situation in northern Sichuan has reached the last moment. Just when Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao thought they would win, the airport, which had been repaired in Pingwu County for more than a month, was finally able to initially supply planes to take off and land. When nearly 100,000 Sichuan troops launched an offensive on all fronts in a narrow position, air fighters flying from Gansu to northern Sichuan arrived one after another over Pingchuan and Qingchuan counties. The first two squadrons of bombers took off for combat immediately after refueling at the airfield, and then the second group of fighters hovering in the air landed to replenish the plane. Nearly 30 bombers bombed the Sichuan army indiscriminately, directly destroying the vanguard of the attacking Sichuan army. The northern Sichuan cluster led by Ma Zhuang took advantage of the situation to counterattack and attacked the Sichuan army headquarters, Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao led the troops to retreat in a panic. As for the front line that has collapsed, even if it is the rebirth of Wuhou, it will not be able to return to the sky.

Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao fled to Deyang, north of Chengdu, and lost more than a dozen counties in northern Sichuan to Ma Zhuang. The two gathered the rout in Deyang and checked the soldiers and horses, and the original army of nearly 100,000 had less than 40,000 guns left at this time. What made them even more frightened was the overwhelming bombing scene of dozens of planes, which was simply beyond human resistance. At this time, there was an intuitive understanding of the good fighting of the 15th Route Army, but the cost was extremely huge.

At this time, Sun Dianying, who was fighting vigorously north of the Yellow River, saw the fiasco of the Sichuan army, where could he still mention the idea of continuing to go south. When he arrived in the Suiyuan area, he turned his horse's head at the moment and made a driving posture that depended on Suiyuan, even if he fought with the Jin Suijun who was Yan Peeling, it was better than crossing the Yellow River and going through the difficult and dangerous way to touch Jiang Li's tiger buttocks, and the several armies promised by Chairman Jiang did not exist at all, and the rabbit was in a hurry and bit people, and Nanjing could not force people to death.
