"Report to the brigade commander. The artillery has been assembled!...
"Order all the guns to prepare. No guns are allowed to fire without my order!"
"Yes, prepare your guns. Don't fire without orders!"
Ma Xiao turned around and entered his headquarters, put a record on the gramophone, then lay down comfortably on the recliner and closed his eyes.
Outside, there was the roar of cannons and crazy gunshots. In the room, music played on the gramophone, which was Mozart's "Eunuch".
"Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor, move forward!"
"Go forward, long live His Majesty the Emperor!" With the voices of the officers of the Fourth Mixed Brigade, the attack began!
Two days of fighting had exhausted the Protectorate Army, and the enemy's artillery fire had destroyed almost all of their positions.
Stumped limbs and broken legs are everywhere wherever you look.
The bombs have been used up. If there were no bombs supported by the independent mixed division, the position might have been breached yesterday!
"Hold on, brothers, hold on!" Deng Taizhong shouted loudly, and his eyes involuntarily glanced in the direction of Neijiang.
"Detachment leader, Beiyang is coming!"
"All of you, bayonets on!" "All on board, bayonets on!"
"Brigadier, Beiyang is rushing up?"
"Play the record for me again!" Ma Xiao said with his eyes closed.
"yes!"
"Anhun Song" plays again.
Ma Xiao listened for a while and then asked calmly: "How is the situation?"
"The hand-to-hand combat there was very painful!"
"Can you still withstand it?"
"it should be OK."
Ma Xiao said "Oh": "Go out and report to me again during the third hand-to-hand combat!"
"yes!"
"Anhun Song" sounded there, and in response to the sound of horses roaring, he could no longer hear the sound of guns and artillery outside. "Kill! Kill!"
The shouts on the battlefield continued to sound, and everyone was fighting there risking their own lives.
No, no one flinches, no one is afraid. Shrinking and being afraid here will only mean death!
All the old officers and soldiers went up.
The bayonet kept coming out, drawing out, then thrusting out again, and drawing out again.
Blood was flying in the air like rain. Drops of blood fell to the ground, and then slowly gathered together, and soon formed a flowing river.
The officers and soldiers of the National Guard Army have completely forgotten everything. Whether reinforcements come or not has nothing to do with them. The only thing they have to do is to hold on to this position.
Since they left Yunnan and entered Sichuan, they had never thought about returning to Beiyang alive. The attack in Beiyang was repulsed, but before the brothers of the National Guard Army could recover, another attack soon began.
Casualties are increasing rapidly!
The corpses almost filled the temporarily dug trench. But corpses continued to fall one after another.
As long as the battle does not end for one minute, this kind of killing will continue until there is no longer a living person on the attacking or defending side.
Their eyes were red and their hands were weak, but everyone was still trying their best to keep themselves from falling.
The bayonets were curled and the rifle butts were broken, but every soldier was trying his best.
As long as there is one person left, we must fight to the end. "Brigadier Commander, the second attack of the 4th Mixed Brigade has been repelled again. Good guy, those Yunnan troops are really fighting for their lives!"
"Cai Qian leads good soldiers." Ma Xiao stood up slowly: "Let the artillery prepare!"
"yes!"
Looking at the dark enemy on the opposite side, Deng Taizhong sighed.
I tried my best, I really tried my best.
The bombs have been thrown away, the bullets have been fired, and the bayonets have been broken. Now, there is really only one life left!
"Everyone is here!" Deng Taizhong realized that he didn't even have the strength to shout: "The assembled brothers stood up with all their strength, silently waiting for the last moment to come!
Deng Tai was so angry that Xiong Kewu's right wing still had no troops, and there was even talk of withdrawing troops.
In this case, let yourself dedicate yourself to your ideal!
"Get ready to fire your guns!"
One by one, the artillery shells drew perfect arcs without any precautions, and then landed lightly on the regrouping Fourth Mixed Brigade.
There was an overwhelming explosion, accompanied by a sky-high fire!
The Fourth Mixed Brigade was immediately stunned and disrupted!
The originally orderly team suddenly became chaotic. The soldiers were scurrying around, trying to avoid the bombardment of artillery shells, but no matter where they hid, there were explosions!
Deng Taizhong and his brothers looked at all this in stunned silence, as if they had not yet recovered from the shock.
"Cannon...cannon" Deng Taizhong murmured, and suddenly, there was a cheer that was a bit sad and a bit ecstatic: "Cannon! The independent mixed division has fired!"
"The guns are fired! The guns are fired!"
There were wild cheers on the battlefield. Deng Taizhong covered his mouth.
If he didn't do this, he knew he would cry.
After wiping his eyes, Deng Taizhong took up the gun and said, "Protect the country and challenge Yuan, charge!"
"Protect the country and challenge Yuan, charge!"
The brothers of the National Guard Army rushed out. At this time, Xiong Kewu also saw this unexpected situation!
The independent mixed division fired! The independent mixed division fired!
Fortunately, Amitabha did not leave the battlefield!
Xiong Kewu waved his hand: "Protect the country and challenge Yuan, charge!"
The artillerymen were supporting the battle in a mighty manner, but the 4th Mixed Brigade, which was suddenly attacked, was completely thrown into chaos. They were dodging in embarrassment under the bombardment of their artillery shells. It was not until the National Defense Army rushed in front that they realized that a disaster was coming.
The defeat was rapid. The fourth mixed brigade, which had been completely disrupted, could not even organize effective resistance and collapsed in just a moment!
The Protectorate Army attacked across the board, and everyone who could pick up a weapon and charge was thrown into the attack.
After fighting for two full days, the Fourth Mixed Brigade was about to win, but it didn't expect that the entire army would collapse under the sudden bombardment of the independent mixed division's artillery!
In two days, the arrogant Fourth Mixed Brigade suffered the heaviest blow!
No matter how hard Wu Xiangzhen tried, the defeat of the Fourth Mixed Brigade was irreversible!
What a failure, Wu Xiangzhen let out a long sigh.
After the final resistance, Wu Xiangzhen finally gave up hope.
The Fourth Mixed Brigade began to collapse from the battlefield and retreated towards Chongqing.
The brothers of the National Guard Army did not even have the energy to clean the battlefield. As soon as the enemy withdrew, they sat on the ground exhausted, and some even slept with their heads on the corpses of the dead.
Tired, they are too tired from the feast.
"Captain Deng!" Xiong Kewu ran over excitedly: "This battle was really good. Wu Xiangzhen was defeated. We can attack Chongqing immediately. I expect we can capture Chongqing in one fell swoop!"
Mou Taizhong glared at him fiercely, and then said coldly: "Recruiting envoy, my opponent has been disabled. If you want to take Chongqing, please do so!"
Xiong Kewu was startled for a moment, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. "Reporting the victory of Hengshuai National Guard Army in Yongchuan, killing more than four people of the 4th Mixed Brigade!"
"Okay, I got it, let's go down." Wang Hengyue's reaction was not very enthusiastic.
Only four people were killed? Is this considered a "great victory"? But the National Guard Army did try its best!
"The garrison envoy of Nanchang in Jiangxi, Zhang Jingyao, commander of the 7th Division, and Cao Sui, commander of the 3rd Division, have been ordered to dispatch to Sichuan! 1 Li Bing's 1st Mixed Brigade, Tao Yunhe's 15th Brigade, and Feng Yuxiang's 16th Brigade have all entered Sichuan!
"
"Okay, we all came to a good place in Sichuan." Wang Hengyue didn't seem to feel anything worried. He was lying on a recliner alone, shaking constantly: "Where is the main force commanded by Cai Wei?"
"We are almost arriving in Yibin."
"Oh." Wang Hengyue closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Send an order to Li Yifeng in Yibin and ask him to evacuate Lou Yibin."
"What?"
"Evacuate Yibin, isn't what I said clear enough?" Wang Hengyue said calmly: "Let him be on the front line in Zigong. At the same time, tell Cai E that the National Guard Army has come from afar to protect the country and fight against Yuan, and his spirit has moved heaven and earth. I
Wang Hengyue will use Yibin as his base to station troops and fight to the death with Beiyang to defend the Republic!"
Jiang Li happened to come in and heard this order, and asked with a smile: "Is Commander Heng planning to eat the enemy in Yibin?"
"It's not me, it's not me." Wang Hengyue stood up from the recliner and said repeatedly: "The National Guard Army always needs to find a place to fight to the death with the enemy? I think Yibin is a good place.
For the sake of the Republic, what’s the harm in giving up a place?”
Jiang Li smiled and shook his head and asked the staff to issue combat orders first: "Heng Shuai, you are going to let the National Guard Army and the Beiyang Army fight to the death in Yibin! The two sides are in a stalemate in Yibin. Even if Heng Shuai's plan is discovered, they will be in a dilemma.
We can only consume it to the end. When both sides are almost done fighting.”
He looked at the map and said: "When the time comes, we will close the door and fight the dogs. Neijiang, Luzhou, Zigong, and Leshan will send out troops. Although we cannot completely annihilate Beiyang, we can still defeat them and they will not dare to look at my position in southern Sichuan!"
"Ah, really?" Wang Hengyue looked innocent, pretending to come to the map and look at it for a while, then patted his head: "Oh, if it hadn't been for the chief of staff's reminder, I almost forgot that the war could still be fought like this. I admire it, I admire it.
"
"Okay, Hengshuai, it's just the two of us here, let's stop acting." Jiang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then his face became a little solemn: "It's just that Songpo is going to fight a fierce battle, even if he can guess Hengshuai
I will never back down if I mean it!”
Wang Hengyue sighed softly: "Chief of Staff, am I being despicable by doing this?"
Jiang Li nodded.
Wang Hengyue smiled and heard Jiang Li say: "Although fighting like this is indeed despicable, it is also the best way to solve the Sichuan problem and drive away Beiyang as soon as possible. I think Songpo will definitely see this.
