Chapter 177 Protecting the country and asking Yuan (October
At the end of July 1913, Xiong Dongwu convened the leaders of the Chongqing Friendship Association at the division headquarters. A joint meeting of the 5th Division headquarters and brigade-level officers formally decided to electrify the country and declare Sichuan's independence. At the meeting, everyone unanimously recommended Xiong Kewu to fight against Yuan Jun for Sichuan.
The commander-in-chief, Yang Shukan, was the director of the Sichuan Civil Affairs Department. Xiong and Yang led his troops to the west to attack Hu Jingyi!
Sichuan is finally in chaos!
Immediately afterwards, Wang Hengyue, who was "seriously ill", also appeared at the new headquarters in Leshan.
Seeing the arrival of Wang Hengyue, Jiang Li said straight to the point: "The Jiangsu Yuan Army failed in a battle with Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Second Army and Zhang Xun's Wuwei Front Army in the Xuzhou area, and retreated to Nanjing. From the 22nd to the 28th, the Shanghai Yuan Army repeatedly attacked the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau but failed.
.The headquarters was disbanded by the Shanghai concession authorities. Seeing that the overall situation was hopeless, Huang Xing left Ning and left Ning, shaking the overall situation of Yuan's army."
"Did Huang Xing run away again?" Wang Hengyue curled his lips: "What about Xiong Kewu?" "Xiong Kewu's army has a very fierce offensive. In a short period of time, it has successively conquered Yongchuan, Rongchang, Longchang, Neijiang and other places, and is now moving towards
Luzhou is advancing. Hu Jingyi mobilized four divisions to resist, and the news has arrived that I will send troops into an independent mixed division. Hengshuai, this is Hu Jingyi's telegram."
Wang Yuyue didn't even look at the telegram and threw it aside: "Pull Ma Xiao's mixed group out and prepare to support Luzhou." "Hengshuai is preparing to attack Luzhou?" Jiang Li guessed Wang Hengyue's intention at once.
.
Wang Hengyue smiled and nodded: "This is such a chaotic [revolution]. Everyone is thinking about their own thoughts. If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to gain something, I'm really sorry for myself!" Jiang Li also smiled:
"It's a revolution in name, but in fact everyone is fighting in his own way. If we can unite as one, we may still be able to win. But in this situation, facing the elite Beiyang Army, there is really no chance of winning."
"So I have to express myself and plan for myself!"
Just as he was talking, Ma Xiao walked in, and Wang Hengyue asked hurriedly: "How is it?" "I got in touch with Hu Jingyi. I swore allegiance to Governor Hu, and now I am no longer a member of Hengshuai." Ma Xiao joked.
said.
"Damn it, you can't fly out of my Wuzhi Mountain no matter where you run!" Wang Hengyue cursed with a smile, and then said seriously: "Liu Cunhou's fourth division has been dispatched, preparing to fight Xiong Kewu.
This cheeky general has a good judgment of the situation. He knows that the "revolution" will not succeed, so he sets up his posture and wants to have a big fight with Xiong Kewu! As soon as he leaves Luzhou, your mixed regiment will immediately
Taking over Luzhou, it is said that it is aiding Liu Chunhou." Ma Xiao was a little worried: "Liu Cunhou will definitely not be happy if Luzhou is lost, will he?" "No, definitely not!" Wang Hengyue blinked: "
Do you think that if Xiong Kewu fails, who will take his place in Chongqing?" "Liu Cunhou!" Ma Xiao suddenly realized.
Jiang Li smiled: "Commander Heng is very successful. He helped the Fourth Division openly and captured Luzhou secretly.
Although Liu Cunhou lost Luzhou, he gained Chongqing. It seemed to be a good deal, and he must be happy. However, if Luzhou fell into the hands of Hengshuai, he controlled a strategically important area and could threaten Chongqing at any time. Chengdu was also in Hengshuai's hands.
He is under threat from the handsome cannon!" "Well, one is under threat from my cannon.,...Wang Hengyue laughed a few times: "In this world, the range of the cannon is the truth! How many cannons you have, there is as much justice as there is! Damn it!"
Yes, I seem to be trying to survive in the cracks, but as long as I have enough soldiers, Chengdu,
Chongqing belongs to me sooner or later!"
Jiang Li nodded and said: "Hu Jingyi will definitely be willing to give Luzhou to Hengshuai. Firstly, Ma Xiao has become one of his own. Secondly, as long as Hengshuai makes any changes, Chengdu and Chongqing can form a double attack on us. But this is a double attack."
Blade sword, why can't we look at Chongqing and Chengdu?"
"That's what I mean!" Wang Hengyue slammed the table hard: "Act!"
Liu Cunhou took out all his lies!
Just as Wang Hengyue said, Liu Cunhou saw very clearly that the so-called "second [revolution]" would never succeed.
Since you won't succeed, then your chance will come!
"Tell all the brothers to stand up to Xiong Kewu for me in the threshing floor. Reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as the rebels are defeated, all brothers will be rewarded heavily. Those who want money will get money, and those who want women will get women!"
Under Liu Cunhou's order, the threshing floor instantly became the focus of competition between the two sides!
Sichuan's war against Yuan Jun, which had been going smoothly all the way, encountered the strongest challenge here.
Liu Cunhou's Fourth Division is still very strong, with sufficient bullets and well-trained soldiers. Especially under the stimulation of heavy rewards, its combat effectiveness has been fully unleashed.
Bullets were flying in the air and bombs were exploding everywhere.
The soldiers on both sides gritted their teeth, had red eyes, and kept mumbling curses. They all regarded each other as enemies.
The threshing floor turned into a bloody battlefield!
The army of Yuan Dynasty charged several times in a row, but under the frenzied attacks of the Fourth Division, they were defeated time and time again. Every time they retreated, bursts of laughter would burst out from the position of the Fourth Division, stimulating the army of Yuan Dynasty.
of soldiers.
"Kong Desheng!"
"arrive!"
Xiong Kewu handed the binoculars to his beloved general: "Did you see that there? Damn it, the fighting there is the most fierce. Take your battalion, organize a death squad, and charge forward for me!"
"Yes!" Yang Shukan, the director-general of civil affairs, also looked livid: "Kong DeSheng, DeSheng DeSheng, I hope your name is correct!"
Kong Desheng saluted with a "ba": "Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, even if I die, I will die on the road to charge!"
Xiong Kewu took the flag with the four characters "Protect the country and fight against Yuan" and handed it to Kong Desheng: "Go and plant this flag on the enemy's position!"
Kong Desheng took the flag and turned around: "All four battalions are here, assemble!"
When all the brothers of the fourth battalion gathered, Kong Desheng raised the big flag: "Our fourth battalion is the death squad of the whole army. It is a supreme honor! Officers must charge forward and not take a step back! To protect the country and fight against Yuan, charge forward.
Ah!" "Protect the country and challenge Yuan, charge!" The dark brothers rushed forward under the command of that flag.
The heavy machine guns on the position roared, and the dense bullets formed an airtight fire net, firmly blocking the charge against Yuan Jun.
Thousands of brothers fell down, but none of the brothers who followed were willing to stop.
This is a road stained red with blood!
"Charge, charge!" Kong Desheng waved the flag in his hand and rushed to the front of the team.
The gunshots became louder and louder, and bombs kept flying in, causing bursts of explosions around the death squads.
Kong Desheng groaned, took two steps forward, and then stood firm with all his strength.
He looked down and saw blood flowing down his right chest.
Kong Desheng pressed the button, raised his chest, and then suddenly waved the flag: "Protect the country and fight against Yuan, charge!" This place has become a death zone.
Corpses almost blocked the charge's path.
The number of death squads is getting smaller and smaller.
"Protect the country and fight against Yuan! Protect the country and fight against Yuan!" Kong Desheng roared with all his strength and charged forward with all his strength.
The blood from his mouth continued to flow, but Kong Desheng completely forgot all about it!
He is a member of the old alliance. For the sake of the "revolution", what does death mean? The commander-in-chief handed over the death squad to himself. That is his own glory!
Most of the brothers in the battalion fell on the charging road, but they were getting closer and closer to the enemy's position.
Thirty meters, there are still thirty meters left, if you rush over, you can rush into the position!
At this moment, Kong Desheng stopped.
Another string of bullets passed through his body.
Kong Desheng planted the flag on the ground. Only in this way could he barely support his body from falling down.
His eyes were distracted, and he looked around. The distance of thirty meters became a nightmare for his brothers.
At such a close distance, they have simply become targets for the enemy. Gunshots kept ringing out, and brothers kept falling. The blood flowing out has formed a small river here. "Protect the country against Yuan, protect the country against Yuan..." Kong
Sheng Sheng no longer had the strength to shout anymore. He could only cry weakly over and over again with a voice that he could only hear, encouraging himself that he was about to die and could no longer see Sheng Dao...
He looked forward, and his blurry eyes gradually became clear.
He saw the fierce face of the enemy and even the jumping muzzle of the heavy machine gun.
He could see more clearly that countless tongues of fire were flying towards his body. Kong Desheng just watched helplessly as all the bullets disappeared into his body.
He was still holding on to the air flagpole to prevent himself from falling. But slowly, slowly, he slipped bit by bit.
"Protect the country and fight against Yuan, protect the country and fight against Yuan..." Kong Desheng fell under the flag. He tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked at the sky that gradually turned into blood red. He murmured and then remained motionless.
He died, died on the road to charge, and died under that big flag.
His brothers were beside him. The soldiers who were still alive and kicking just now turned into corpses one after another at this moment. Xiong Kewu's hands were trembling. He saw everything in the telescope.
A battalion of brothers, a whole battalion of brothers, are just gone.
The enemy's machine guns are still screaming, but why does the battlefield sound so quiet?
Xiong Kewu put down the telescope, and then raised it up reluctantly. Xiong Kewu was really unwilling.
In the telescope, he saw the military flag that never fell: protect the country and fight against Yuan!
Protect the country and fight against Yuan!!
The setting sun is like blood, the cold wind is crying!@.
