Chapter 184: Want to Surrender? No way!

(Thank you for the monthly pass of the Yuan Dynasty!) )

"Without ammunition, how can we fight Kawanishi? It turns out that the western Sichuan side has been guarding us for a long time! We've already dug the pit and waited for us to jump down stupidly. Wang Xiao's old mongrel, and Wang Yuze's little mongrel, are really despicable and shameless! Liu Wenlong sat on the chair behind him dejectedly and said through gritted teeth. This approach of Kawanishi made all their efforts in vain. And it shows that Sichuan West has long been wary of them. From this, it can be seen why after the defeat of the Manchus last year and the establishment of the cabinet, neither of their uncles and nephews were promoted. This is Kawanishi deliberately restricting them!

Liu Xiang glanced at Liu Wenlong with some dissatisfaction, and then asked, "How much ammunition can still be used now?" "Although, without ammunition, it is a very big blow to the second division, but even at this moment, Liu Xiang still doesn't want to give up.

"If it were to be divided, each soldier would be able to get less than twenty rounds of ammunition. The artillery battalion cannons, each with only five shells! The adjutant replied. With such a small amount of ammunition, it is impossible to cope with even a low-intensity conflict, let alone a big battle with the western Sichuan army that rushed to suppress it with more than 80,000 people.

"Uncle, you hold Chongqing, and I'll get weapons and ammunition. Wang Yuze, that little bastard, wants to trap us, it's not so easy. Even if Lao Tzu dies, Lao Tzu will bring the whole of Chongqing to accompany the funeral! Liu Xiang's eyes shone with a fierce light.

"Where are you going to get ammo?" Liu Wenlong asked in a daze.

"The Qi River to the south. Then there is a full arsenal capable of producing more than just weapons. It can also produce ammunition. There must be a lot of ammunition in stock, as long as you can get a little bit of it. That's enough for us to use! Liu Xiang said.

"However, where is a third brigade deployed in Qijiang, and the second division lacks ammunition, can it defeat them?" Liu Wenlong asked. With the combat strength of the 2nd Division, if there is enough ammunition, there will naturally be no problem in defeating the 3rd Brigade. But now? It seems a little impossible.

"There's no way, I have to fight. I immediately set out with my army, hoping to catch them by surprise. The 3rd Brigade has been in existence since its inception. He has always been responsible for the guarding of the Qijiang Industrial Zone, and he has never been on the battlefield, so he must be relatively lax in armament. In this case, we may not be without opportunities. Uncle, you guard Chongqing, and I'll return it after I get the ammunition. In addition, you will contact the Kawanishi side immediately. Ask them what we want. Otherwise, we're going on a killing spree! Liu Xiang said viciously.

"Good! I'll contact the Kawanishi side right away! Liu Wenlong was like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, and immediately put all his hopes on it. Now that the situation has reached this point, there is no other way for him to do it.

Liu Xiang immediately went to mobilize troops. The 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division was on its way to withdraw from Rongchang to Chongqing. Not yet. He could only transfer the other two main regiments, and then in the troops directly under the division headquarters, he would transfer some troops and follow him to attack Qijiang. Two main regiments plus a company of the artillery battalion, as well as other direct units. The total number of troops reached 10,000. At the same time, in order to get enough ammunition. The remaining soldiers guarding Chongqing were not assigned children, and were only armed with bayonets. If the Western Sichuan Army attacked Chongqing at this time, Chongqing would not be able to hold it at all. However, there is no problem at all in dealing with those unarmed ordinary people.

It was a full 70-kilometer journey from Chongqing to Qijiang, and even if the Second Division marched at full speed, it would take a whole day to arrive. What's more, after rushing to Qijiang, they had to exchange fire with the Third Brigade guarding Qijiang. Whether they can beat each other or not, it's hard to say. However, Liu Xiang had no way to retreat at all, so he could only give it a go. If he gives up and is shot by Kawanishi for treason, even if he is not shot, he will be imprisoned for life, which is not acceptable to him. He would rather die on the battlefield than die a humble death.

Liu Xiang's control of the Second Division is very deep. With the exception of a very small number of officers, almost all of them were his people. Although the ordinary soldiers may not all be his people, as long as the junior officer gives an order, they still obey the order. After all, from the beginning of their recruit training, the first concept they received was that obeying orders was the duty of a soldier!

Chengdu, patrolling the embassy, and after succeeding to the western Sichuan patrol envoy, Wang Yuze immediately threw himself into intense work. In terms of government affairs, it will be handled by the Cabinet for the time being, and there will be no problems. Now his main concern is to put down the rebellion. The commanders of the 7th, 8th, and 11th Divisions rushed back immediately after receiving Wang Yuze's order. The rest of the military generals and government officials also returned one after another in the afternoon. Wang Yuze's order to them was to maintain the stability of the troops and localities.

In the afternoon, Xiong Wu and Cai Yun rushed to the palace of the patrol envoy and asked to see Wang Yuze. The faces of the two of them were a little bad.

"What's going on?" Wang Yuze asked. Could it be that there is a problem with the counterinsurgency? At present, the four divisions of the Western Sichuan Army are still on the way to Chongqing, and it stands to reason that they have not yet encountered the second division. It can't be another rebellion somewhere else, right?

"Handsome! I just received a telegram from Chongqing Mayor Liu Wenlong. He demanded surrender to us. However, he demanded that our troops stop attacking Chongqing. In addition, he asked the marshal to forgive the sins of their uncles and nephews and allow them to leave western Sichuan! Xiong Wu said.

"What's going on? How did it come to this? Wang Yuze was shocked. It was only in the morning that he announced his departure from western Sichuan, why did he soften in the afternoon? Is it not possible to treat the rebellion as a child's play?

"Dashuai, according to the news we have received, the Manchus and the foreigners have crossed the river and demolished the bridge. They played Liu Wenlong and Liu Xiang's uncle and nephew. The promised conditions have all changed. The purpose is to make Chongqing fight with us, so as to consume our strength and make it impossible to take care of other places. Therefore, Liu Wenlong's uncle and nephew only knew that they had been fooled! Cai Yun explained. Although Wang Yuze calls him Uncle Cai in private, when talking about business, everyone still distinguishes between respect and inferiority.

"Haha! How can it be so cheap? Now if you want to surrender, it's too late. Also, those damn foreign devils are really thieves who don't die! Someday, I'll settle accounts with them! Wang Yuze said hatefully. He had just succeeded to the throne when a rebellion broke out, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Wang Yuze's prestige. I am afraid that for a long time to come, Wang Yuze will have to focus on the internal rectification of western Sichuan. In this case, there will be no time to threaten the interests of the countries in the Far East.

"That's right, you can't just let them go. Otherwise, how can we deter other people with bad intentions! Xiong Wu also agreed. For these ungrateful people, he has always supported the direct shooting.

"Father-in-law, is there any other reason? I don't know Liu Wenlong's character of their uncle and nephew, even without the support of the Manchus and foreigners, they will definitely not be so easy to succumb, right? Wang Yuze asked.

"Haha! The General Staff Headquarters had already made some preparations. The Ministry of the Interior and the Military Intelligence Agency also cooperated. So they had to give in! Xiong Wu said with a smile.

"Oh? What preparation? Wang Yuze asked.

"The ammunition we have replenished for the second division in the past few months is all empty cartridges for exercises. In this case, there will be very little ammunition left at the disposal of the 2nd Division. If there is a real fight, they will have to fight with us with bayonets! Xiong Wu replied.

"Ahh I see! Great, father-in-law, why didn't you sue me earlier, I have been worried for so long! Wang Yuze said overjoyed. In this case, it would be very easy to put down this rebellion.

"But, Yu Ze, originally we planned to do so. But now, things have changed a little! Xiong Wu Zhengse said.

"What's wrong?" Wang Yuze asked. His heart couldn't help but rise.

"That's right, in the telegram I just received from Liu Wenlong, in addition to wanting to surrender, there is also his threat. If we do not agree with their surrender and forgive their sins, then they will be buried with the millions of people in Chongqing. At that time, the second division will go on a killing spree in Chongqing! Cai Yun said with a stern face.

"What? Those two brutes! How dare they do that? Wang Yuze was furious. Although it is an exaggeration to have millions of people, there are still 200,000 or 300,000 people in the urban area of Chongqing. If Liu Wenlong's uncle and nephew really slaughtered like crazy, although they would not slaughter all these innocent people, it would still be very possible to cause a large number of innocent people to be killed and injured. If that kind of consequence is really caused, then the western Sichuan government and the military and Wang Yuze will have to bear a lot of responsibility.

"Handsome! Now those two uncles and nephews have reached the point of desperation, and it is possible to do anything. Shall we accede to their demands and pardon them and their families in exchange for the lives of innocent people! Xiong Wujian said.

"No! If we pardon them today, maybe someone else will rebel tomorrow. When the time comes, as long as we are cornered, and the ordinary people threaten us, then how will we end up at that time? Therefore, their demands cannot be granted under any circumstances. Since their uncle and nephew have launched a rebellion, there is only one way to die, and there is no second way! Wang Yuze refused. He needs to use the heads of Liu Wenlong and Liu Xiang's uncle and nephew to deter the others. Therefore, he will never forgive them. Of course, the lives of innocent people are also important and must be preserved.
