Su Xiaohu is in Tazi Mountain, five miles away from Chengdu.

Yang Qiu gave him the order to take Chengdu after arriving in Chongqing. In order to seize the time, he and Ma Kui set off from Wuchang overnight. After arriving in Badong on the 2nd, they met with Hu Laosan and immediately headed for Chongqing.

After arriving, he first organized the troops of his army. The three battalions left by Song Ziqing were of good quality, all of which were the old Echuan veterans, and there was also a gun battalion composed of 16 57mm guns. The second battalion of the Old First Regiment was naturally changed to the core teaching battalion. Hu Laosan's infantry battalion and two Echuan veteran battalions formed the first regiment, and the other battalion was dispersed and two thousand new recruits were formed into the second regiment and the third regiment. In addition, in order to increase the mobility before departure, Zhang Wenjing specially sent him a cavalry company.

Considering that there were too few veterans who had fought, the recruits rushed to Badong because Zhang Wenjing was afraid that Sun Wu would be transferred for only half a month and then rushed to Badong. Therefore, Yang Qiu deliberately strengthened the firepower of the Pioneer Brigade when the war in Hubei was urgently needed. In addition to the two heavy machine gun squads, he also added 10 Maderson light machine guns, plus the 4 heavy machine guns (two Haqikas) and 18 light machine guns from the hands of the Second Battalion and Hu Laosan. The teaching battalion and the first regiment were all equipped with Mauser 98, and finally he brought two thousand grenades and five ** bags.

After three days of reorganization and strengthening training, he left the Third Regiment stationed in Chongqing and Guang'an and led his troops to Chengdu. Because the mountain road was rugged all the way, he did not arrive here until today. When he passed by Neijiang and in Zizhong, he used fighting instead of training, and taught some bandits and the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. He plundered the powerful people from several places and corrupt officials of the Qing Dynasty, and sent back hundreds of thousands of yuan to Chongqing. A few days ago, Xiao Anguo praised him and the Pioneer Brigade in the name of the deputy commander.

Deputy Commander Xiao's praise made everyone feel proud. But what he cared about the most was the order. Compared with these bandits, Chengdu is the cream of the entire Sichuan.

Fortunately, the strongest person in Chengdu is that Zhao Erfeng only has 3,000 border defense troops mobilized from Yunnan border and Xikang. Although these border defense troops are all long-term training troops, their equipment is very poor. Except for Hanyang, there is basically no heavy firepower. The only thing that makes him worried is that the Seventh Town of the Sichuan Army stationed outside the city that once participated in the besieging of Chengdu. Although this unit has been divided a lot by Brother Pao and the Comrades Association, there are insufficient military equipment. But there are still more than 4,000 people stationed outside the city under the leadership of Yin Changheng and others. They are unsure whether they will come to attack, so they must be prepared for the two lines.

The weather in Chengdu in November was already a little cool. The artillery battalion was sweating profusely and digging artillery bunkers. One mountain cannon after another was pushed into the position. Master's door carried a load to send boxes of cannonballs to the side. Su Xiaohu was also a professional officer. If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty's only son not joining the army, he would have been sent to the Japanese non-commissioned officer school for study with his ability. So he knew that Zhao Erfeng would not have a big problem, but was afraid that Yin Changheng and others would join forces. In that case, the cannon alone would not win. So after arriving, he did not attack immediately, but ordered the Second Regiment to build defense lines. He also found a large number of door panels and logs to build fortifications, and prepared for a war of attrition.

"Brig Commander, Brigade Commander!"

When Su Xiaohu and Hu Laosan inspected the preparations, a call from the staff sounded behind him: "Brig Commander, someone from Chengdu is here."

"Are you here? Who?" Su Xiaohu turned his head and saw an officer wearing a fresh military uniform looking at him, frowned. Could it be that Zhao Erfeng could not resist sending someone to the peace talks?

After a hurry back, I saw a tall, 27 or 28-year-old officer with a Japanese saber tied around his waist, and was majestic and majestic. He asked, "You are."

"Sichuan Yin Changheng."

After entering Sichuan, Su Xiaohu has been paying attention to and collecting the military and political situation in Sichuan. Through the stories of the soldiers and officers of the former 62-Ball Soldiers and Officers, he knew that Yin Changheng was a sensible figure in Sichuan. When he was young, he was called "Yin's eldest son" because of his tall figure. After returning from studying in Japan, he went to Guangxi to serve as the chief instructor of the Supervisory Training Office and the Army Primary School. Later, he returned to Sichuan to continue serving as the general office of the Supervisory Training Office and the Army Primary School. In recent years, many of the younger generations in the Sichuan army came from his subordinates and were very influential in Sichuan. So what I was most worried about was that he would attack him from the flank because he was a Hubei army and cooperated with Zhao Erfeng's 3,000 border guards, but he didn't expect that he would come to the door as soon as he deployed someone. He saluted: "Xiaohu had met Yin's eldest son."

Yin Changheng was also looking at Su Xiaohu, younger than himself. Although he was not tall, he was very energetic. He exuded an unspeakable vitality all over his body. The combined sandy yellow khaki uniform and horse boots were polished brightly, which looked very capable. Moreover, the soldiers along the way were also surprised him. Although many new recruits were quick and meticulous in their work, they rarely had whispers and laughter. No matter whether they could fight or not, at least the discipline of this army was very strong. Thinking of the great victory in Xiaocangshan that he learned yesterday, I finally understood why they could fight to the Beiyang for a month and still be able to attack and annihilate the Fourth Town.

However, he was still a little worried. Sichuan was already in chaos now, and all over the country were in danger. After the comrade army and the Pao Ge armed forces were disbanded, many of them occupied the mountain and acted independently. In the long run, the bandits would definitely be rampant and the turmoil was hard to stop. But at this time, the National Defense Forces of Yang Qiu, Hubei, intervened again. First, they incorporated several battalions of eight towns and battalions into Sichuan, and then raided Guang'an, Chongqing. Finally, they simply sent a brigade to kill in with so many machine guns and cannons. Although the revolutionary army was nominally helping, he was still a little unsure of what the meaning was. Moreover, he had agreed with Cai E before that the Yunnan Army would enter Sichuan as soon as possible to help, so when he heard that Su Xiaohu arrived at Tazishan, he rushed to meet immediately.

After scanning the Maxim heavy machine gun in front of the soldier, Yin Changheng looked envious: "The Co-ordination is really a big deal, even the match point machine gun that Beiyang has just prepared. No wonder he is full of confidence."

Su Xiaohu didn't understand what he meant and said out of politeness: "Zenzi Yin was wrong. Here is the commander of the brigade of the National Defense Forces Pioneer Brigade. We are called Maxim heavy machine guns. As for the coordination, it's already over!"

The name of the division brigade is still very new to China, but it is not unfamiliar to Yin Changheng, who has studied in Japan. He pointed to the defense line being built in the distance and suddenly asked: "Brig Commander Su, are you guarding against me?"

"Yin's eldest son is a military talent in Chuanzhong. You must be careful when you are just a newcomer." Knowing that it is impossible to hide it from others, Su Xiaohu walked to the table openly, pointed to the map above and said: "A Maxim heavy machine gun, six five-generation seven-mountain cannons. The positions are deployed in a deed shape. There is a regiment on the two lines of defense, plus a reserve company."

"Haha." Yin Changheng saw him express his arrangements to deal with him with his own heart and laughed: "Brig Commander Su really seems to be in the lower level. You even encircled and annihilated the fourth town of Beiyang. I dare not launch a sneak attack."

Su Xiaohu was a little puzzled and looked at Hu Laosan and his staff officer: "Encircle the Fourth Town? Who of you got the news?"

Yin Changheng laughed in silence. He didn't know that the army had changed drastically at home, so he immediately told the story of Yang Qiu personally leading the troops to win the Xiaocangshan Victory. Su Xiaohu slapped excitedly after hearing this. He turned his head and said, "Why don't I know? Where is the radio?"

"Brig Commander, the radio station has been set up, but the telegrapher has been ill for the past two days and has been useless, so I would let him come right away."

"Forget it, rest well. The same goes for sending a newspaper after taking Sichuan." After Su Xiaohu said that, he glanced at Hu Laosan: "Third brother, send someone to tell the good news to each department so that everyone can cheer up."

Perhaps the news that the Fourth Town was defeated by his brothers' troops stimulated the soldiers of the Pioneer Brigade. The artillery took the lead and opened the cannon suit and began to sway the gun mouth to aim at Chengdu not far away. Yin Changheng hurriedly said: "I'm sure that Brigade Commander Su, Pu Dianjun and other members of the parliament are negotiating with Governor Zhao to resolve the issue of Chengdu peacefully. If you fire this artillery, you may have been wasted all your efforts."

"Peaceful resolution?" Su Xiaohu disagreed: "Have he promised to let the three thousand Yunnan border troops put down their weapons? Have he agreed to abdicate? Yin eldest son, Xiaohu is not ignorant in Chengdu. I only know that some diseases can be relieved, but some diseases must be cut by a knife! Our commander does not want Chengdu to suffer from misfortune, but you can see what Sichuan became after the road protection starts? Is this still a country of Tianfu? Now there is a trend of separatist rule in all places. In the long run, there will be constant wars! So even the critical commander of Hankou asked us to come. He just wanted to resolve Sichuan as soon as possible and restore the stability of Bashu!"

Su Xiaohu glanced at Yin Changheng: "Yin's eldest son is two years older than Xiaohu, and he is also our young revolutionary soldier! The commander said that the Qing Dynasty was in power and foreigners were rampant. It was the time when we young soldiers should take responsibility! As the leader of Sichuan young officers, why not join our National Defense Forces and work together to create a new country? Xiaohu received the order to restore Sichuan within half a month. Now most of it has passed, so I am already imperative this time! This is not only for the revolution, but also for the early stability of Sichuan, and for the tens of millions of compatriots! Yin's eldest son now has two choices, one is to cooperate with me to complete the task. The other is to stand by and watch."

"What if I choose the third one?"

Looking at Yin Changheng, Su Xiaohu smiled slightly, and in an instant, he seemed to change his whole body. He pointed to Chengdu in a confident and arrogant manner: "I only believe in one thing. Anyone who stands in front of my cannon will either disarm or fight a good battle with me!"

Yang Qiu was not even afraid of Beiyang, let alone Sichuan. He also knew that Su Xiaohu was right. Sichuan's corruption had already appeared. If he could not clean up the rivers and mountains as soon as possible, he would definitely fall into a civil war. However, he was still very worried when he saw 16 neatly arranged mountain cannons. After all, Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan. After all, Sichuan was defeated and was unlucky in the end. He said: "Although the cannon of Su Brigade Commander was quick to attack the city, the shells did not have eyes."

Su Xiaohu smiled slightly, took him to the artillery position, and pointed to the sight: "Yin Changzi can see clearly. All we aim at is the city gate. As long as the city gate is broken, Xiaohu will naturally not fire the cannon at will."

Seeing that he was open and honest, Yin Changheng thought about it and asked again: "There is another thing that I hope Brother Su will answer. What if I take Chengdu?"

"Yin's eldest son, Xiaohu is a soldier, not a politician! My mission is to take Chengdu, and the commander will decide in the future." After Su Xiaohu finished speaking, he immediately issued an order to prepare for the siege. Yin Changheng knew that it was impossible to stop it. Pu Dianjun and others' idea of ​​a peaceful solution was not as safe as the cannons and bullets, so he simply took a step forward.

"slow."
