Seventy-seven Troops Dispatched to Sichuan I

In July 1924, two months after the blockade of northern Shaanxi, President Cao Kun, the theoretical boss of the Republic of China, announced that Yang Huchen and Jing Yue Xiuben would be dismissed from their respective positions, and ordered a crusade. Yang and Jing were charged with colluding with the party, causing trouble in the locality, secretly accumulating weapons, plotting against the law, and so on. At the same time, Wu Peifu was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the crusading army, Yan Xishan was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the First Route Army, and Liu Zhenhua, Ma Fuxiang, and Lu Hongtao were appointed as the commander-in-chief of the second, third, and fourth route armies of the crusading army, and announced that they would send 200,000 troops to level northern Shaanxi, capture Jing and Yang alive, and eradicate the rebellious party.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the whole of China, except, of course, Guangdong. The people of Guangdong were not surprised at all, they were just curious. For the first time, the people of Guangdong heard that they wanted to eliminate the rebellious party, but they did not come to Guangdong to destroy it, but went to northern Shaanxi. However, there are still people in Guangdong who are in a hurry, that is, the leaders of the Beiguan GCD Central Station, especially Chen Duxiu.

As soon as he heard that Wu Peifu was going to lead 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress northern Shaanxi, Chen Duxiu was really in chaos. He was a university professor at an old age, and his level of revolution was actually not very good, especially for military struggle, although at the GCD meeting he always claimed that the revolutionary army in northern Shaanxi could fight 100 at a time, but this was just a statement, and he himself did not believe it.

"Comrades, now the enemy is about to attack our nasty people's power! How do we defeat them? "Look at Tan Pingshan, Luo Zhanglong, Zhang Guotao and Qu Qiubai, and finally Chen Duxiu's eyes were fixed on Zhang Guotao's face." Kaiyin, you have a lot of ways, tell me what we should do? "Chen Duxiu now really regrets sending Mao ZD to northern Shaanxi, and now these comrades in the Central Bureau seem to have only Zhang Guotao who has a better way.

Zhang Guotao is now the secretary of the party's military committee, took over Mao ZD's class, and changed the nondescript name of military secretary to secretary of the military committee! Well, it sounds very majestic, as if it is similar to Chiang Kai-shek's chairman. Hearing Chen Duxiu's question, Zhang Guotao's face sank slightly, his two triangular eyes narrowed, and he came up with an idea. "Chairman, we still ask the Kuomintang to send troops to attack the territory of the direct line, so that we can encircle Wei and save Zhao."

"Kuomintang? Will they say yes? Chen Duxiu hesitated for a moment but nodded and said, "Okay, that's it, ask the Kuomintang to send troops to attack the territory of the direct line to encircle Wei and save Zhao." In addition, the new army in northern Shaanxi was ordered to resolutely defend the base areas and fight the reactionaries to the end! Not an inch of land must be given up! ”

When the Military Committee of the National Political Axe received a request from the GCD to send troops, Luo Yaoguo, the new commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Thief Army, had already arrived in Guangxi. The Kuomintang deployed two divisions in Yunnan, the original three divisions in Guizhou, plus the three divisions reorganized from the 30,000 people brought by Xiong Kewu, a total of eight divisions were deployed in Yunnan and Guizhou, and there was also an artillery regiment deployed in Guiyang.

This dispatch to Sichuan is called the "Second Sichuan War of Thieves" by the history of this time and space, the commander-in-chief of the thief army is Xiong Kewu, and Luo Yaoguo's position is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. The Second Sichuan War against Thieves was actually a "side mission", and Xiong Kewu and Luo Yaoguo's mission was to establish the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang in Sichuan in the shortest possible time. Yes, it is reactionary rule, because Lao Chiang promised to have seven parts political and three points military. The meaning of seven-point politics is to buy if you can, and to win over if you can. The three-point military refers to Yuan Zuming and Yang Sen, two unlucky guys, Yuan Zuming is the former governor of Guizhou, because he has a deep hatred with He Yingqin, Gu Zhenglun, Zhu Shaoliang, these Jiang generals, so they must be eliminated! Yang Sen is now appointed by Yanjing Political Axe to supervise the aftermath of Sichuan military affairs, uh, probably what the boss means, if you don't take him, what will Xiong Kewu's boss do? As for the other heroes of Shuzhong, they can continue their colorful warlord careers and continue to oppress the working people of Sichuan.

On the highway to Guizhou, Luo Yaoguo and Shi Qingyang sat in the same car, discussing the matter of entering Sichuan by the way. Sichuan is a piece of big fat wrapped in a hard shell, surrounded by mountains and mountains, good things are in the middle, Chengdu and Chongqing are the fat meat, but if you want to eat meat, you have to think of knocking open the shell. It doesn't matter if you use cannonballs or silver bullets.

"Shi Gong, did you say that the heroes of Shuzhong will let us into Sichuan this time?" Luo Yaoguo always felt unreliable about this, but Shi Qingyang and Xiong Kewu always looked full of confidence, as if their faces were more effective than Luo Yaoguo's army.

"Huh." Shi Qingyang snorted without smiling. "General Fuwen, you don't know the politics of Sichuan, the interpersonal relationship between the various armies in Sichuan is uncertain, and there are routines for alliance and defection, but in general, it is still a good word. This time, we actually had a chance to win in Sichuan, and this was a telegram from our comrades in Yucheng. ”

After reading the telegram handed over by Shi Qingyang, Luo Yaoguo had an incredible feeling, uh, it turned out that it was Wu Peifu who opened the door to Sichuan for the Kuomintang this time! The telegram said that Wu Peifu appointed Liu Xiang as commander-in-chief of the Ding-Yunnan Army and deputy commander-in-chief of the Ding-Guizhou Army, and appointed Yuan Zuming as commander-in-chief of the Ding-Guizhou Army and deputy commander-in-chief of the Ding-Yunnan Army, and asked the two of them to seize Yunnan and Guizhou under the rule of the Kuomintang.

This order was quite acceptable to Yuan Zuming, who was originally the governor of Guizhou and was kicked out of his nest by Tang Jiyao the year before last to participate in the Sichuan warlord melee. Now I'm full in Sichuan, and I'm looking for a chance to go back to my hometown. But what's the matter with Liu Xiang? It turned out that the Sichuan boss, who was good, was suddenly given to Cao and Wu and replaced with the Dingdian army. Moreover, Liu Xiang suffered heavy losses in the battle of the bear, and although there are now four divisions and a mixed brigade in the department, the total strength is only more than 10,000 people.

"Shi Gong, so Er Liu will take refuge in us?" The second Liu in Luo Yaoguo's mouth is Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang, a pair of uncles and nephews, and their relationship is still very close. Liu Xiang's territory is in the area of Yucheng, and Liu Wenhui controls the area of Xufu and Zigong.

Shi Qingyang smiled and said: "Now Yanjing Zhengaxe has appointed Yang Sen to supervise Sichuan military affairs, Deng Xihou is the governor of Sichuan, and Tian Songyao is the governor of Sichuan. And Liu Xiang didn't get anything and had to go to Yunnan and Guizhou to die, hehe, do you think he has a way out but to take refuge in us now? And I understand Yang Sen's personality, if you give him three points of color, he will dare to open a dyeing workshop, and now that he has a famous instrument for supervising Sichuan military affairs, how can he still tolerate two uncles and nephews Liu? ”

"Hmm." Luo Yaoguo didn't know much about those things in Sichuan, but in the General Staff, he still temporarily read some introductions about the Sichuan heroes, and knew what kind of quick system Liu Xiang and Yang Sen belonged to. "Shi Gong, the younger generation heard that Yang Sen and Liu Xiang are both classmates of the Sichuan Army Crash School, can't they cooperate to govern Sichuan?"

Shi Qingyang smiled and shook his head. "Yang Sen and Liu Xiang both have great ambitions, and they both want to be the boss of the fast-track department, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. So I am seventy or eighty percent sure of wooing Er Liu this time, you don't have to worry. However, Yuan Zuming now has 30,000 guns, and we suffered a lot from them in the last battle against thieves, are you sure? Speaking of this, Shi Qingyang's brows furrowed involuntarily. The combat effectiveness of the Qianjun army should not be underestimated! ”

Qianjun? At least in Sichuan, the Qianjun army is still very powerful. In history, Liu Xiang was defeated by Yuan Zuming, lost the old nest in Yucheng, and finally had to invite Yang Sen, who was defeated out of Sichuan, back, and then attacked from the east and west, and finally "invited" Yuan Zuming out of Sichuan, but Lao Yuan's strength was still there, and he was finally killed by Chiang Kai-shek and Tang Shengzhi. This time, Luo Yaoguo's first battle in Sichuan, perhaps the only tough battle was the battle with Yuan Zuming's Qianjun army.

"Please rest assured that Gong Shi, Yuan Zuming is not the opponent of our National Revolutionary Army, what I am worried about now is that he will stay in Yucheng and not go out, so it will inevitably rot the place." Yucheng is the largest commercial city in Sichuan, and now it is shared by Liu Xiang and Yuan Zuming. Alas, this Liu Xiang is worthy of being the "penultimate first" in the accelerated department, and his level of fighting is really not good, and he seems to be always losing battles.

There are three roads from Guizhou to Sichuan, one is to go north to Qijiang River through Zunyi and Tongzi to enter Yucheng. The second is to take the Chishui and Hejiang rivers into Luzhou. The third is to take the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou to enter the six counties in the south of Xufu. Among them, Syria is Liu Wenhui's territory, and Luzhou belongs to Lai Xinhui, the commander of the Sichuan Border Army. The road into Sichuan selected by Luo Yaoguo was to take Qijiang and Yucheng, and then use Yucheng as the base camp of Xiong Kewu's rule of Sichuan, that is, the political axe station of Sichuan Province. Liu Xiang will be arranged to replace Yang Sen in Chengdu.

At the same time that the National Revolutionary Army was preparing to go north to Chongqing, Yuan Zuming, who happily assumed the post of commander-in-chief of the Dingqian Army, was also preparing for a military operation to go south to Guizhou to recapture Laowo. He gained a lot in the last Sichuan civil war, and his army also expanded to 30,000, making him the second largest force in Sichuan after Yang Sen. However, Yuan Zuming's mind was not so faint that he used 30,000 people to confront the more than 200,000 troops of the Kuomintang. He has his wishful thinking, isn't Sun Cannon suffering from cancer? If you have cancer, you won't be able to live long, if the cannon dies, hehe, his gang of disciples and grandchildren are not busy fighting for power and profit, who will care about such a remote and barren province as Guizhou? Therefore, Yuan Zuming now placed the main force in Qijiang County, and then waited for Sun Yat-sen's death every day with his ears pricked up.
