Chapter 161 The first effort to suppress the rebellion!
The situation of the Sichuan Army under siege in Batang was extremely dangerous, and there were only a few days of food and pay left.
Fortunately, at this time, the Yunnan Army commanded by Cai Zhen arrived!
"The rebels besieged Batang too tightly. If you want to save Batang, take the salt well first!" After looking at the situation, Cai Ao quickly made his own judgment: "Yin Chengxian!"
"Here!" "Gather all the troops and attack the salt well!"
"Yes!" There are also a large number of rebels stationed in the salt wells. After receiving support from the British, these rebels have sophisticated weapons and sufficient ammunition. It does not seem to be that easy to dig the salt wells!
Gunshots and firecrackers generally sounded around the salt well.
Although the rebels' combat effectiveness is not high, their sophisticated weapons and sufficient bullets are enough for them to shoot as hard as they can for free, blocking the Yunnan Army who is encircling and suppressing them!
The soldiers of the Yunnan Army performed very bravely. They constantly ambush, shoot, and charge. Time and time again, they used the bravery of soldiers to safeguard the dignity of the country!
Fierce fighting continued. Although the Yunnan army gradually gained the upper hand with its well-trained training, it could not end the battle quickly.
This made Yin Chengxian, who was commanding the battle, a little anxious. If it continued to be delayed, the rebels in Batang would most likely come up with reinforcements, and they would inevitably fall into a melee.
"Chief of Staff, listen, what is that sound?" In the distance, there was a faint sound. Yin Chengxian stood on a high place, picked up the telescope and looked there.
In the telescope, dust was billowing, and after a while, a group of soldiers wearing large caps and gray military uniforms appeared.
At the forefront of them, an officer rode on a war horse, brandishing a sword in his right hand and holding a battle flag high in his left hand as he rushed to the front.
Yin Chengxian watched with all his strength, and he finally saw clearly what was written on the battle flag: The first achievement in suppressing rebellion!
The first achievement in suppressing the rebellion? Such a loud tone made Yin Chengxian move.
These soldiers who suddenly appeared seemed to be very familiar with this place, and they chose the side with the weakest defense of the Yanjing rebels for a sudden attack!
Before the rebels had time to adjust, the army had already rushed in with unstoppable force.
"The first achievement in counterinsurgency is the first achievement in counterinsurgency." Yin Chengxian suddenly remembered who this was and his expression changed. He couldn't help blurting out: "Wang Hengyue!"
, Kill without mercy!" The battle flag in his hand was firmly held in his left hand, fluttering in the wind, inspiring all the officers and soldiers!
"Suppress the rebellion in Tibet, kill without mercy!"
The soldiers screamed crazily and rushed into the enemy's formation crazily to join forces with the enemy!
Waving the battle flag with his left hand and wielding the sword with his right hand, Hengshuai, who charged forward all the way, gave them the greatest confidence. At this time, Hengshuai seemed to have truly become a god of war in the hearts of the officers and soldiers!
"Kill without mercy, suppress the rebellion in Tibet!" That was Yang Sen's cry!
At this moment, Yang Sen was completely shocked by Wang Hengyue's bravery! Although he had heard many legends about him before, when he saw it with his own eyes, Yang Sen was shocked like never before!
This is the future Lord of Sichuan, this is the future~
King of Sichuan!
With such a brave and resourceful boss, we will surely be able to unify Sarakawa sooner or later!
From this moment on, Yang Sen felt how wise he was for rebelling on the battlefield!
Hengshuai is not in a hurry to ascend to the highest position of Sichuan King, but has been developing himself silently, waiting for the best opportunity.
Then when the opportunity comes, he will not give up, he will give all enemies a fatal blow.
This is the person who does great things!
And if you follow someone like this, do you still have to worry about your own future?
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!! Kill all these traitors! Long live Hengshuai! Long live!!!" Yang Sen, who suddenly figured this out, had a fierce look in his eyes and hissed, almost crazy,
One knife cut the head of a charging rebel in half.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Long live Commander Heng!" The emotions of all the soldiers were completely aroused at this moment!
Wang Hengyue, who was fighting hard, suddenly heard the officers and soldiers burst into such earth-shattering cheers. He didn't know what happened. He turned his head and was careless for a moment, and was almost stabbed by a rebel.
He was furious and slashed with all his might, amid the screams and blood flying everywhere!
This group of wolf-like and tiger-like officers and soldiers rushed into the salt well, like a group of murderous gods. In an instant, they killed more than half of the rebels!
At this time, the Yunnan Army also took advantage of the situation and rushed in. Under attack from both sides, the rebels were almost completely killed or injured. Only a dozen people escaped in the chaos.
Wang Hengyue looked around the battlefield and saw dead bodies everywhere, but his losses here were minimal.
Feeling a little arrogant and feeling a sense of accomplishment, Wang Hengyue stretched out his arms and raised the battle flag high.
"Long live! Long live!! Long live!!!"
The cheers of the brothers resounded once again!
The officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army fell into a kind of fanaticism. They kept yelling crazily, and kept raising their guns in the sky. The soldiers were even more crazy and even used "bang bang..." gunshots to express their inner feelings.
of fanaticism.
The soldiers of the Yunnan Army were a little dumbfounded. They had never seen such an army before. "Oh, the Sichuan Army has finally arrived?" After hearing Yin Chengxian's report, Cai Zhen nodded: "He was ordered by President Yuan personally."
The forward of the Sichuan Army has fought against rebellions here before, and is most familiar with this terrain. Only by knowing where the weak points are, we can succeed in one fell swoop. With him here, we will have more helpers!"
"Commander, have you not seen those Sichuan troops? They are all crazy." Yin Chengxian seemed to be still immersed in the memories of the battlefield: "They rushed up screaming and killed everyone they saw. After defeating the rebels,
There was no one alive in the army, and all the dead were given bayonets.
Wang Hengyue made an action of raising the flag, and the Sichuan troops shouted "Long live" as if they were possessed. To be honest, I have never seen such an army until now." Cai Xun pondered for a while: "Listen earlier.
It seems absolutely true to say that Wang Hengyue is loved by his subordinates.
You said that Hua is always the first to charge. How can such a brave general who is not afraid of death not be admired by his subordinates?" Yin Chengxian looked to the side and whispered: "Commander, last time we came to rescue 1" Wang Hengyue blocked Yibin.
If he is not allowed to advance and looks like this, he will definitely become my strong enemy in Yunnan in the future.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity..."
"Damn it!" Cai Zhen was furious and interrupted his subordinates: "The gap between Sichuan and Yunnan has long passed! When Wang Hengyue heard that the country was in trouble, he risked his life and tried his best to help. How can you think of such a person?
Do you want me to kill him? Is it painful for relatives and happy for enemies? Wang Hengyue is here for national defense and for the entire country!"
"Yes, Commander, I was wrong!" Yin Chengxian said with shame on his face.
Cai Bang glared at his subordinates fiercely: "Let's go, since Wang Hengyue has arrived, come with me to greet him!" "President of the Sichuan Military Senate and Commander of the Independent Mixed Division Wang Hengyue is here!" Cai Yu just moved a step, and there was already such a shout.
Voice.
Cai Zhen was startled, and saw a young general approaching on horseback. As he got closer, the general dismounted and came to Cai Zong. He stood at attention and then performed a formal military salute: "Gather at Huan Mountain to see Dudu Cai, the Governor!"
The most righteous hero, the founder of the revolution, Wang Hengyue!" As soon as Cai Guo saw the young and heroic Wang Hengyue, he couldn't help but like him in his heart, and praised repeatedly: "Good, good, good!" Cai Wei was only thirty years old at that time.
New Year's Eve is also a time of high spirits. When I see Wang Hengyue at this time, I can't help but feel a sense of intimacy.
Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "On the order of President Yuan, I am the vanguard of the Sichuan army's counterinsurgency. Please give me a lecture from Governor Cai!" "What kind of words did I teach you?" Cai Zhen said with a hearty smile: "The battle of Yanjing, the two sides are in a stalemate, if it weren't for Wang
The division commander has led his troops to come to our aid, but I’m afraid the salt well won’t be easy to build yet.”
"The Governor is too polite. Without Wang, the pacification of Tibet would only be a matter of time." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "Why did the Governor come to Batang? This was originally the place where our Sichuan army should attack." These words immediately made people angry.
A trace of gloom and helplessness appeared on Cai Xiang's face.
It turned out that after receiving the order for the Western Expedition, Cai Mu repeatedly called Li Gengen, the commander of the Second Division of the Yunnan Army stationed in Dali, to select a large number of well-trained soldiers from the provincial army to reinforce Dali...
Regarding the choice of route for the Yunnan Army to enter Tibet, Cai Zhen also put a lot of thought into it. In his telegram to Yuan Shikai, he suggested that when the Sichuan Army enters Tibet from Batang Avenue, "Dian will open up a new road from Weixi, Chacong, Mabili."
Through the Luoyu barbarian place, we make a straight line to the northwest directly to Lhasa. This road opens up the transportation between Yunnan and Tibet, which can save thousands of miles, and it is especially beneficial to national defense. It can contain the British
From Pianma to Ba and Litang Road, we can control the whole of Tibet.
Cai Zhen's plan... would first set off from Zhongdian, Yunnan, with an expedition team to reconnoiter the route and the enemy's situation, and then use an engineering team to dig into the mountains and build roads. The brigade would advance step by step. At the same time, they would set up wires, set up military stations, attract immigrants and attract investment, and arrange internal affairs to plan for the long term.
However, Yuan Shikai stopped him on the grounds that the work was difficult and expensive, and ordered the Yunnan army to first aid Batang and then rescue the Tibetan emergency. Although Cai wrote letters one after another to argue, without the support of the Central Committee, Yunnan Province was unable to operate independently, so Cai Ao had to order the Yunnan Army to
The army marched westward and left Batang.
Yin Changheng, the governor of the Sichuan Army, requested Yuan Shikai to send a telegram to order the Yunnan Army to stop its advance on the grounds that the Yunnan Army's occupation of the Batang area would cut off the movements of the Sichuan Army's left and right flanks and impede the advance of troops from Tibet.
, which made Cai Zhen deeply dissatisfied.
He telegraphed the whole country to state the reasons and intentions of the Yunnan Army before sending troops, and called on the Sichuan and Yunnan armies to go all out to suppress Tibet in order to consolidate national defense. After the Yunnan Army stopped advancing, the Sichuan Army's attack speed did not speed up, and the situation in Tibet was still critical. Cai E telegraphed to the General Assembly
The President, the State Council, and the Sichuan Governor sought understanding and ordered Yin Chengxian to lead the Western Expeditionary Army to advance proactively and coordinate the Batang Sichuan Army.
After Wang Hengyue heard this, the anger on his face flashed away: "Did Yin Changheng miss the important national affairs for his own benefit?"@.
