In the battle of Nanchong, Xiong Kewu and other Sichuan troops suddenly stormed, and as a result, Luo Peijin suffered a big loss, but fortunately, Luo Peijin was a battle-hardened master, and immediately retracted to Chengdu with the team. The Sichuan army naturally followed to Chengdu, and then put on a siege look, and the real attack was naturally unwilling, but it was not difficult to fire artillery at the position of the Yunnan army every day. Luo Peijin was very surprised by this: "When did the Sichuan army call Hanako become so arrogant? ”

Of course, these cannons and shells were all transported from Wuhan, and there is no reason not to use things that don't need money. However, the Sichuan army was like this, and attacked Chengdu several times one after another, but was unceremoniously repelled by the Dian army, and Xiong Kewu was also very simple, he ordered Chengdu to be surrounded and played with artillery bombardment.

After receiving Luo Peijin's rescue telegram, Tang Jiyao immediately ordered Hu Ruoyu, commander of the Second Army of the Dian Army of the Jingguo Kingdom and commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Rebellion, and commanders Xie Ruyi, Li Xuanting, and Zhang Ruji to fight in Yunnan. At this time, the main force of the Yunnan army was less than 80,000, and more than 60,000 people were almost sent to Sichuan, and Tang Jiyao didn't think it would be dangerous to do so.

History has had some deviations at this time, and on October 31, Huang Xing, who should have died in history, was still receiving intensive care treatment in Nanjing Army Hospital, and his life was still continuing. And Cai Yi, who was supposed to die of illness on November 8, may have heard the news of the outbreak of war in the southwest, but finally failed to survive the Zuihou day in October, and died of illness in Fukuoka, Japan, at the age of 34 this morning. Cai Yi's last words: "I command the First Army of the Yunnan Protector Army to be killed in the Sichuan War and the personnel who contributed to it, and I implore Luo Peijin and others to verify the petition for compensation and awards, so as to show fairness; With a short life, he failed to do his best for the Republic of China and should be buried thinly. ”

As a hero who changed this era, Cai Yi's death caused a great shock, but no one thought that there were Japanese hands and feet here, after all, the anti-Japanese sentiment at that time was not very strong. Everyone's mood is more on the body of paying tribute to Cai Ye. In Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Kunming, Chongqing, Chengdu, and Guiyang, public memorial points have been set up to put up Cai Yi's tablet to allow everyone to worship this hero who protects the country.

Sun Yat-sen: Generous class protection in his life; Thousands of miles between the horses and the waves.

Liang Qichao: Knowing what is evil is worse than the dead; Who is it for the mourning of the lady?

Kang Youwei: The bow of Weijun is now the world of Hongxian; Because of my thoughts, I am afraid of hearing the sound of drums!

Tang Jiyao: So to the whole army to protect the people as the main picture, the public opinion is returned, the general is kind Cao Wuhui; Usually, he only reads and uses Xiang Dun, the public is not dead, and the show is happy Fan Xiwen. Ding Huaijin: Success is not the first achievement, defeat is not death, swear two words, how bright, so the first brigade suddenly rebuilt the republic; There is no unscrupulous opinion, there is no contention for the right to profit, and the suicide note is a few words, such as a deep feeling, asking the whole country to comfort the heroic soul?

At this moment, Yang Du, who was in Chongqing, heard the bad news of Cai Ng, and couldn't speak for a long time, but his heart was lamenting the impermanence of the world. Half a year later, Cai Ye passed through the kingdom of heaven, but he sat in Chongqing to pacify the southwest for Wang Zhenyu, and life was so unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Yang Du still personally wrote a pair of elegiac couplets for Cai Yi:

The soul returns to a foreign land, and now the heroes are gods, and the rivers and mountains are crying in the rain;

The people of the southwest were exhausted, and Taixi was full of sores, and success or failure had been vicissitudes at that time.

At that time, this elegiac couplet was a bit disrespectful to the deceased, but just the day before, the Nationalist Government's southwest camp was listed in Chongqing, and Yang Du served as the director of the camp, so although everyone felt that this couplet was not good, they didn't dare to say anything.

Then Yang Du found Li Zongren and suggested that in Chengdu, the Sichuan army would cease fighting for seven days, and the whole army would hang filial piety in order to pay tribute to Cai Yi.

Although Xiong Kewu couldn't understand this order, he still did it, and as soon as this move came out, the Dian army was messy. The officers and soldiers at the lower levels immediately carried forward the tradition of the Dian army daring to go down to the top, and flocked to the garrison of the army commander Luo Peijin to ask for an explanation, weishenme wanted to fight with the Sichuan army brothers opposite?

At the same time, Gu Pinzhen and others also rejected Luo Peijin's request to counterattack on all fronts, and they also wanted to hold a public sacrifice for Cai Dashuai, anyway, the first seven were not over, and this battle could not be fought.

The Second Army of the Yunnan Army, which Tang Jiyao sent to support Sichuan, was still marching the Sichuan-Yunnan border and coming towards Sichuan, and the news of Cai Yi's death had not yet reached them.

And in Wuhan, Wang Zhenyu unconsciously felt a burst of sadness when he heard the news of Cai Ye's death, joining the history Cai Ye did not die so early, what would the Republic of China be like? Wang Zhenyu didn't dare to assume it, but he knew that from the perspective of the Protectorate War alone, Cai Ye fought for the dignity of 40,000 people for all the people.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu quoted the couplet sent by a certain god in later generations to a certain handsome, and sent it to the whole country in the form of a telegram: "This monarch unfortunately passed away early, who can I ask if the country has problems?" ”

President Li Yuanhong of Beijing issued an order posthumously conferred the title of Army General Cai Ye and held a state funeral for him......

Cai Ye is dead, and after a lot of mourning, the war in the southwest will continue.

Beijing was very concerned about this, and when Li Yuanhong arrived in Beijing, he learned that this president was not good at being a man, and that he was constrained by the Beiyang family everywhere, and that he could not do anything and could not do anything. At the local level, the Japanese suddenly increased their support, and Zhang Zuolin Shili of Fengtian swelled up like a balloon, and in just half a year, he expelled Duan Zhigui, the overseer of Jilin, and Meng Yuanen, the overseer of Jilin, and became the overseer of Fengtian. And although Duan Qirui was angry about this, he had to pinch his nose and acquiesce. Seeing this, Henan's immediate family immediately got in touch with Li Yuanhong and Xiong Xiling, expressing their resolute obedience to the central government, so Beijing suddenly became a crater. At this time, the news of the outbreak of war in the southwest was naturally regarded as a symbol of the stability of the external environment in the north, and since this was the case, the struggle began. On November 3, Xiong Xiling had to resign as prime minister under pressure from all sides and go south to take office. The contradiction between Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui, who took over as prime minister, intensified in an instant, and the Beijing government once again returned to the track of the battle between the government and the court, and this time it seems that this government still has some strength.

The war in Sichuan has lasted for 20 days from October 17th to November 7th, and Zhang Lan, known as the sage of northern Sichuan, took the lead in running between the Yunnan army and the Sichuan army, hoping that the armies would cease fighting to avoid the loss of life, and the old gentleman's face also seemed to be very good, at least after the first seven days of General Cai Yi, the war still did not resume. However, neither Luo Peijin nor Xiong Kewu, the two war criminals, agreed with each other, so the confrontation continued.

After more than 20 days of arduous marching, the army under the command of Hu Ruoyu finally arrived at Ya'an, Leshan, and Rong counties on November 9, and then tragedy broke out.

Li Zongren arrived at the three places as early as November 1 with Dai Yue's division of the sixth division, Li Pinxian's division of the seventh division, and Deng Keng's division of the 14th division.

Hu Ruoyu can be regarded as a tiger general in the Yunnan army, and he still did the basic requirements of enemy reconnaissance. However, he never expected that the scouts he sent out would be bribed by the Youth Army, and he came back to report that only one regiment of the Sichuan Army was guarding the above-mentioned third brother location, and there was no combat effectiveness at all.

He immediately said to Li Xuanting, Xie Ruyi smiled and said: "Xiong Kewu is really a rice bucket, at this time, his eyes are still staring at Chengdu, do you say that we should go to Chengdu first and deal with Xiong Kewu with Luo Peijin, an uncompetitive guy, or simply wave our troops eastward and take Chongqing down?" ”

Several division commanders felt that it was better to take Chongqing first, lest Xiong Kewu retreat to Chongqing and defend himself according to the danger, and after closing the gate, it was the key to avoid the troops of the Nanjing Nationalist Government from entering Sichuan.

Hu Ruoyu's name is the meaning of Dazhi Ruoyu, if he knew at this moment that almost 100,000 youth troops had entered Sichuan, it was estimated that even if Tang Jiyao shot him, he would not hesitate to return from Sichuan to Yunnan. It's a pity that there is no if...... on this shijie

On the 9th and 10th, the three places fought one after another, and the Dian army had never seen such a ferocious artillery bombardment in its life, and immediately suffered heavy losses. Then the youth army almost stepped on the artillery point and killed, machine guns, mortars, grenades, all kinds of light and heavy firepower came out, the Yunnan army could not even establish a blocking position, heavy machine guns often just knocked over a few youth soldiers, and then called mortars or grenadiers.

Hu Ruoyu received the report from the front, and immediately patted the case: "If this is the Sichuan Army Lao Tzu cut off his head, this is clearly Wang Zhenyu's youth army, his mother's, actually entered Sichuan, Luo Peijin's rice bucket, such an important matter has not received any rumors." ”

It's too late to blame these now, Hu Ruoyu is now repentant, he already knew that the youth army had entered Sichuan, and he wouldn't divide his troops into three ways anyway, now it's okay, although they are all on the same plane, but the distance between the three divisions is dozens of kilometers, if it is dozens of kilometers flat, it will be counted, but it is thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains. Isn't this waiting to be broken by each other?

Hu Ruoyu immediately ordered the legend of the flying pigeon and ordered all units of the Second Army of the Dian Army to retreat quickly in the direction of Liangzhou.

It's a pity that Li Zongren didn't plan to give Hu Ruoyu to return to Jihua in Yunnan, he gave the order to pursue the whole line, and the Dian army was inexplicably defeated by the youth army. Of the 30,000 Yunnan troops, more than 20,000 were captured, and only Hu Ruoyu and Li Xuanting successfully escaped back to Yunnan with less than 3,000 people. At this time, Yang Ducai was very complacent to tell Xiong Kewu where his jihua was, and without him, he just tried every means to show weakness and deceive the main force of the Yunnan army from Yunnan. Obviously, the ambitious Tang Jiyao was really fooled, and now there is no army in the whole of Yunnan that can stop the entry of the Youth Army.
