Two hundred and sixtieth chapters show the enemy strong
Before the ancient battlefield of Dingjun Mountain, the Sichuan Army's heavy artillery unleashed its might, destroying all the Beiyang military fortifications on the mountain. More than 40 kilograms of artillery shells exploded, blowing huge rocks into pieces, and scattered trees were blown into the sky.
, gravel and sand fell on the heads of the soldiers of the Beiyang Army like a storm. The entire Beiyang Army could only be beaten passively and looked embarrassed. Han Fuju was also extremely anxious at this time.
According to the original plan, brigade commander Feng Yuxiang asked him to stick to Dingjun Mountain to give the Sichuan Army a disincentive, and then try to contact the Sichuan Army. This idea was precisely because Feng Yuxiang was new to the combat effectiveness of his subordinates. When Feng Yuxiang was training soldiers, he also
They were not trained according to the standards of ordinary soldiers, but according to the standards of officers. Feng Yuxiang was ambitious and should do something in troubled times. Feng Yuxiang regarded this army as a seed to lay the foundation for the development of more troops in the future.
Base.
It is precisely because Feng Yuxiang's troops are extremely well-trained and their combat effectiveness is at the forefront among Beiyang. Therefore, from Feng Yuxiang down to every soldier, they are confident. However, they were completely fooled as soon as they fought. The Sichuan Army's equipment
Far superior to our own side, the Beiyang Army now only has a huge sense of powerlessness in the face of aircraft and heavy artillery. Seeing each soldier being blown to pieces, with broken limbs and legs scattered all over the hillside, no one can bear this pressure.
At this moment, the Sichuan Army's artillery fire weakened and began a large-scale charge towards the top of the mountain. Han Fuju's eyes turned red: "Brothers, don't lose Commander Feng's face. You must teach these Sichuan rats a lesson and let them know how powerful the Beiyang Army is.
!”
Han Fuju shouted and the troops finally stabilized and began to fight back. Feng Yuxiang's training was really strict. Although these soldiers suffered heavy losses, they were able to stabilize their position and start to fight back in an orderly manner. From this point alone, it is certain that Feng Yuxiang can become the overlord of one party in the future.
reason.
The Sichuan Army soldiers who were charging were violently attacked by the Beiyang Army. The soldiers at the front fell to the ground one after another. The remaining soldiers hurriedly used machine guns and mortars to cover them. However, the Beiyang Army still relied on its geographical advantages to temporarily suppress the Sichuan Army.
Living.
Liu Xiang was commanding from the rear of the position. He originally thought that Dingjun Mountain could be taken down with a single charge. However, now that he saw that his opponent was much tougher than expected, he was unwilling to waste time. The Sichuan Army's military supplies were not very sufficient, so he could only
It lasts for half a month, so it needs to be resolved quickly.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiang immediately ordered the air force to dispatch. Eight planes carrying heavy bombs slowly flew to a height of more than 500 meters above the Beiyang Army. In an instant, bombs fell from the plane one by one. The Beiyang Army did not
They had no air defense weapons and were not prepared for this. Now facing the threat from the air, they were helpless and didn't even know how to avoid it. The bomb quickly fell to the ground, setting off a violent explosion. Compared with the heavy artillery just now, the air
The falling bomb was more powerful and the damage was more astonishing. All the soldiers who were near the explosion were torn apart. The violent explosion broke the rocks into pieces. The debris flying everywhere caused a second damage. The eight flying frames spun in a circle.
During this time, almost everyone on the battlefield was injured, and a piece of skin was wiped off Han Fuju's head by a stone, causing blood to flow freely.
At this moment, the Sichuan army began to charge towards the top of the mountain again. At this time, there were less than a hundred people still fighting on the top of the mountain, and the entire battalion was destroyed. Han Fuju was also frightened by these casualties. It was not that his soldiers did not want to escape, but
Being hit by such a fierce attack, Han Fuju was a little confused. At this time, Han Fuju's head was still clear. He knew that if he continued to fight, his entire army would be destroyed, so he ordered a quick retreat.
The Sichuan army occupied Dingjun Mountain, and Han Fuju fled to Mian County with the remaining defeated generals. That night, Feng Yuxiang led the army to retreat quickly, and before leaving, he also swept through the warehouses in Mian County. The Sichuan army occupied Mian County without a fight, and then followed the south.
Zheng also fell into the hands of the Sichuan army, and the entire Hanzhong was crumbling.
At this time, Chen Shufan, the governor of Shaanxi Province, also called the whole country and announced that he would join the Protectorate and jointly fight against Yuan. Immediately after Chen Shufan, the Governor of Shanxi Yan Xishan also announced du li. The protectorate party suddenly reached nine provinces, accounting for less than half of the province.
China, the situation in the world has changed. qing, Xu Shuzheng heard about Shaanxi and Shanxi successively on the road. Xu Shuzheng's mood became even worse. He followed the Sichuan-Hankou Railway into Sichuan. Xu Shuzheng was deeply shocked along the way.
The Sichuan-Hankou Railway was built between lofty mountains, with tunnels and bridges all along the way. The difficulty of construction can be imagined. However, Sichuan built this railway by force. It is understandable that Xu Shuzheng was shocked.
Xu Shuzheng also put a lot of effort into Sichuan at this time and painstakingly studied the situation of Qiao Yu's rise. After seeing the situation in Sichuan, Xu Shuzheng gradually came to a conclusion. Sichuan's rapid development was largely due to seizing the opportunity of the European War.
Opportunities, relying on orders and technical support from the great powers, Sichuan's economy took off. The benefits of participating in the war were huge. Unfortunately, Yuan Shikai did not have this concept and did not carry out economic planning at all. Although the light industry also developed rapidly, how could the production of flour be compared with the production of guns?
What a comparison of guns.
Thinking of this, Xu Shuzheng became more and more convinced that after this storm passed, Beiyang must actively participate in the war, not only sending workers, but also sending troops, relying on the support of the great powers to regain control of the country and eliminate the influence of the Sichuan clique.
Offset it.
"Qiao Shuai, your boss is really scared. Mr. Duan asked me to take care of you!"
"How is Zhiweng's health? This major world event cannot be separated from Mr. Duan's intervention!"
"Everything is well, Mr. Duan. Thank you Qiao Shuai for your greetings!"
Qiao Yu took Xu Shuzheng into the commander's mansion. The two sat across from each other. Xu Shuzheng was the first to speak: "Commander Qiao, we have made an agreement before to stop military competition. Now the Sichuan army is openly marching into Hanzhong. It really goes against the preamble!
"
Qiao Yu shook his head: "Secretary Xu, our agreement is to stop large-scale military operations, and the Sichuan Army only entered Shaanxi to pursue the remnants of Lu Jianzhang. As for the du li that caused Chen Shufan and Yan Xishan, this account cannot be counted among the Sichuan Army
However, Yuan Shikai’s proclaimed emperor is really unpopular. The general trend is that Beiyang must also recognize this situation and abdicate Yuan Shikai as soon as possible. Only in this way can a larger-scale civil war be avoided!”
"Qiao Shuai, Mr. Yuan can abdicate and restore the republican system, but Mr. Yuan should continue to serve as the president!"
"Is this what Zhi Weng meant?"
"This is what the Beiyang generals meant!" Xu Shuzheng said firmly: "Mr. Yuan is the first official president of the Republic of China and has a high prestige. Although there are some mistakes, his flaws cannot be concealed and he can still serve as the president!"
Qiao Yu also had a firm attitude: "Yuan Shikai became emperor and has abandoned the Republic of China. How can such a person still serve as president? I suggest that Vice President Li Yuanhong take over. Vice President Li, as a founder of the first righteousness, has high moral character and high respect, is the president."
The best candidate!”
The two sides fell into a stalemate on the first issue. Duan Qirui continued to let Yuan Shikai serve as president, hoping to avoid the split of Beiyang, let Yuan Shikai act as a link, and also show to outsiders that Duan Qirui was nostalgic for old friendship.
He did not force his benefactor Yuan Shikai too much. Duan Qirui would not agree to abandon Yuan Shikai, regardless of reputation or profit.
"Qiao Shuai, I want to discuss this matter with Zhi Weng again. We will talk next time!"
"That's fine. Xu Ci has come a long way and should take a rest. Tomorrow, I'm going to ask Ci-Chang Xu to visit the Sichuan Army's arsenal. I wonder if Ci-Chang Xu is willing to pay a visit?"
"It's up to you!" Of course Xu Shuzheng knew that this was Qiao Yu's demonstration, but he couldn't refuse. Moreover, he also wanted to see how powerful Sichuan was, so he readily agreed to Qiao Yu's invitation.
On the next day, Qiao Yu personally accompanied Xu Shuzheng to the Sichuan Arsenal. Now, dozens of military industrial enterprises have appeared in Sichuan. However, the largest one with the most complete products and the highest technical level is the Sichuan Arsenal. This is also where Sichuan's new weapons are produced.
R & D Center.
After Xu Shuzheng entered the factory, he had a different feeling. The entire factory area was grand and orderly. There was no chaotic feeling like other factories. Moreover, the workers performed their duties and the work process was not disrupted just because someone big came.
.
"Secretary Xu, the Sichuan Arsenal exported 100,000 rifles and 20 million rounds of ammunition to Russia last year. The next export will be mainly artillery and various vehicles. Today there is a newly developed self-propelled vehicle.
Artillery, Deputy Commander Xu might as well give you some pointers!"
Although Qiao Yu said he was giving advice, he was actually showing off his force. Although Xu Shuzheng tried hard to maintain calm, his heart was filled with overwhelming thoughts. Sichuan could actually produce so many weapons. That is to say, Sichuan
The armaments are basically self-sufficient, which is really important for an army. Although Beiyang now controls several arsenals, they are all old factories left over from the former Qing Dynasty and cannot meet Beiyang's needs at all.
Therefore, in terms of military supplies alone, Beiyang was defeated this time without complaint. Qiao Yu took Xu Shuzheng through two production areas in succession. Xu Shuzheng could see the rifles one after another on the production line, as well as countless
Bullets and artillery shells, these are the best proof of Sichuan's strength.
After entering the weapons testing area, Xu Shuzheng was stunned for a while. He saw a huge steel monster appearing in front of Xu Shuzheng. This monster was more than two meters high, and there was a black cannon placed on it.
, the ferocious muzzle shows the power to destroy everything.
"Commander, Deputy Commander Xu, this is a 75mm self-propelled artillery modified by our factory on the basis of an armored vehicle. It is also the first of its kind in the world. It has a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour and is equipped with seven millimeters of protective armor on the front.
It has great survivability, its performance has been recognized by France, and it will be handed over to France for use soon."
When he heard that France was going to adopt this kind of weapon, Xu Shuzheng was even more shocked. Being recognized by the great powers was enough to prove Sichuan's strength in military industry, and Beiyang must catch up quickly.
