On June 6, 1916, Yuan Shikai died of illness, and Li Yuanhong succeeded as president: June 7
On that day, Wang Hengyue ordered the cancellation of Sichuan’s independence and supported the [Central] government!
At the same time, Wang Hengyue, the governor of the Sichuan Military Government and the commander-in-chief of the Dingguo Army, issued an order to all the soldiers of the Dingguo Army: maintain peace in Africa and unify Sichuan!
This order shocked Sichuan!
The entire Dingguo army is dispatched, and the battle to unify Sichuan begins!
At this time, Wang Hengyue's strength was unmatched by anyone in Sichuan.
After its elite infantry division appeared on the battlefield with sophisticated weapons, the outcome of the battle was actually determined!
On the 7th, when the "unification by force" order was issued, Yang Sen's division of the Dingguo Army attacked Liu Cunhou's department first, and Jia Haoyang's First Guard Division stormed Dai Kan's department.
The sudden dispatch of the Dingguo army greatly shocked the troops fighting outside Chengdu.
Wang Hengyue is here, Wang Hengyue is finally here!
The deadline set by Wang Hengyue has arrived, but Chengdu is still in a melee!
Faced with the attacks on Liu Cunhou's and Dai Kan's troops, everyone was afraid of getting into trouble, so they did not directly participate in the war, but chose to remain silent.
On the 8th, Yang Sen's troops stormed the troops of Liu Cunhou, the "Commander-in-Chief of the Protecting the Sichuan Army". Liu Cunhou resisted desperately and called for support, but only Luo Peijin sent out a symbolic force. However, once he was hit, he quickly retracted his original defense line.
.
On the 8th, after being baptized by artillery, Yang Sen invested all his troops from the beginning. Heavy machine guns, in a hurry, rained down bullets on the enemy's position, making it impossible for Liu Cunhou's troops to raise their heads.
On the same day, on the western front battlefield in Chengdu, Dai Kan's Yunnan Army Headquarters was also violently attacked by the Dingguo Army.
The fighting was very fierce, and the fighting on the Western Front battlefield made everyone who was interested in Chengdu feel panic.
On that day, the commander of the 29th Brigade sent a letter to several army commanders. In the letter, he said that Wang Hengyue defeated Dai Qi one by one and killed Liu Cunhou. After Dai Kan and others, it was time for the others to die. For the current plan, the only way to attack them was to attack them from all directions.
The Chengdu army united and joined forces to fight Wang Hengyue or protect themselves.
However, no one listened to him.
On the first day and night, Liu Xiang personally led the entire 29th Brigade to attack Yang Sen's troops at night, but Yang Sen, who was heavily guarded, appeared.
This new situation caused Wang Hengyue to immediately adjust his deployment and ordered Yang Sen to turn his guns to attack Yang Sen first, while he personally commanded the Guards Huben Division to attack Liu Cunhou!
On the 9th, Wang Hengyue used two regiments to cut off the connection between Liu Cunhou and Liu Xiang. Subsequently, Yang Sen and Liu Xiang launched a decisive battle!
On the first day of the battle, Liu Xiang was unable to support himself, and the 29th Brigade was defeated. Liu Xiang, who had escaped from the battlefield with his remaining troops, was forced to join Xiong Kewu's army, which boosted Xiong Kewu's "recruiting army".
After defeating Liu Xiang's troops, Yang Sen immediately turned his guns and joined Wang Hengyue's Huben Division to launch a new attack on Liu Cunhou's troops.
On that day, under two consecutive days of fierce attacks, Jia Haoyang's First Guard Division broke through Dai Kan's defense line and cut Dai Kan's troops into three sections, and then began to defeat them separately.
On the 10th, Wang Hengyue issued a deadline to defeat the enemy. Yang Sen's troops and Huben Division launched a full-line assault on Liu Cunhou's troops. At noon, the second line of defense of Liu Cunhou's troops was broken through, and more than a thousand soldiers surrendered.
Liu Cunhou’s defeat is certain!
Knowing that Liu Cunhou could not resist Wang Hengyue's attack on his own, he asked Luo Peijin for help and declared that he was willing to obey the command of the Yunnan Army.
On the same day, Dai Kan's Yunnan army also suffered a heavy blow, and all defense lines were breached one after another. Dai Kan himself fled the battlefield in a hurry under the escort of the guards in the rebel army, and wanted to leave Sichuan.
But Jia Haoyang didn't give him this chance!
A battalion of troops followed closely behind him and caught up with Dai Kan at the Qinhuang Temple more than a mile away from Chengdu.
There is no way to continue fighting!
Dai Kan, who was besieged in the Qinhuang Temple, looked at the Dingguo army setting up machine guns outside, and sighed: "Everyone is staring at Chengdu, but no one sees the evil wolf Wang Hengyue! Wang Hengyue could enter Chengdu back then.
, but he didn’t enter, why? It’s not that he can’t enter Chengdu, but that he doesn’t want to enter! Today, idiots like us are all pawns in Wang Hengyue’s hands. It’s ridiculous, pitiful, and pathetic. Dai Kan only wants to die and calls on everyone to work together!
"
With that said, Dai Kan dismissed the guards and then drew his gun and committed suicide.
After Dai Kan's death, his remnants were taken in by Luo Peijin.
Later, Liu Xianshi, the governor of Guizhou, heard that Wang Hengyue was fiercely attacking the Chengdu armies. He tried to attack the Fourth Army with three regiments of troops. However, he was ambushed by Xu Mu's 3rd Division of the Dingguo Army, which was well prepared. Jin Jin's army was defeated and thrown away.
After dropping off a few corpses, we returned to Guizhou.
Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, called on all parties in Chengdu to cease the war and personally telegraphed Wang Pingyue. Wang Hengyue replied: "Peace in Sichuan is a blessing to the Sichuan people. There is no hope for peace, and the only way to buy peace is to use force."
The Tang Governor is only in charge of Yunnan, and Wang Hengyue is in charge of Sichuan affairs!" Tang Jiyao asked again for permission for the Yunnan Army to withdraw from the battlefield, and Wang Hengyue sent back a second telegram: "On that day, Cai Songpo wanted to withdraw the Yunnan Army, but the Yunnan Army refused and disrupted our Sichuan.
Now that Wang Hengyue has disarmed the Yunnan Army, the soldiers must be returned!" Wang Hengyue's successive refusals made Tang Ji* furious and wanted to join in personally." However, Xie Shuixiang of the Dingguo Army only listed the formation and entered the combat state.
It was Wang Hengyue who let the Yunnan Army in when he was defending the country against Yuan Dynasty. Now if the Yunnan Army wants to come in again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
When it came to unifying Sichuan by force, Wang Hengyue showed a tough attitude that no one expected...
Under this critical situation, all the troops in Chengdu finally felt the threat of Wang Hengyue most clearly. Especially after Dai Kan committed suicide, all the troops were panicked, fearing that Wang Hengyue's next target would be against them.
Under this situation, Chen Huan of Chengdu used Hu Egong as his envoy to mediate between all parties.
On the 11th, all armies in Chengdu held an emergency meeting in Liu Cunhou's army to discuss how to deal with the threat from Wang Hengyue.
These people who fought in Chengdu are now sitting together to deal with the same threat.
Liu Xiang, who had taken refuge with Xiong Kewu, said with emotion: "Your enemy is not one of the people here, but Wang Hengyue. Wang Hengyue has well-prepared troops and sufficient ammunition. If he attacks Liu, Liu will be defeated, and if he attacks Dai, Dai will be killed. If all the gentlemen here today
If we don't unite, Dai Kan will be waiting for us on the Huangquan Road!"
Hu Egong said: "What Brigadier Liu said is exactly right! Wang Hengyue's ambition is not for anyone here, but for the whole of Sichuan! He will definitely not let any of us go. For now, we can only form a coalition to fight against
Wang Hengyue confronts us! Then we will invite Dian and Jin’s troops to attack from both front and back, maybe there will be a chance!”
In the face of crisis, these former friends and enemies finally came together.
After discussion, Chen Huan was elected governor of Sichuan and commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and Xiong Kewu was elected deputy governor.
Zhou Jun is the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.
These people who once fought for Chengdu finally came together temporarily for the same purpose.
Wang Hengyue had already anticipated this situation.
At this time, the allied forces Chen Huan was stationed in Chengdu, Liu Cunhou and Liu Xiang were guarding the left wing of Chengdu, and Xiong Kewu was
Luo Peijin's troops guarded the right wing of Chengdu, while Zhou Jun's Sichuan Army's 1st Division faced the enemy head-on.
"Are you united?" Wang Hengyue smiled: "Concentrate all the artillery fire and blast Zhou Jun!" "Yes!" "Remember, only attack Zhou Jun, regardless of the two wings!"
The artillery shells were overwhelmingly blasted towards Zhou Jun's First Division, falling like raindrops on Zhou Jun's army.
Subsequently, the machine guns gathered by Wang Hengyue also fired intensively at Zhou Jun's men.
This indiscriminate fighting made Zhou Jun's first division dizzy and complaining endlessly. Zhou Jun repeatedly urged and requested reinforcements, but the reinforcements on the left and right wings failed several times under the tight defense of the Dingguo army.
Tong Jun became angry and yelled in the direction of the artillery of the Dingguo Army: "I have no enmity with you Wang Hengyue, why do you just beat me!"
"Reporting to the teacher, a man calling himself Wang Qinglu is here."
"Wang Qinglu? Is he a colleague?" "He is Wang Hengyue's staff officer!" "Wang Hengyue's staff officer?" Zhou Jun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and then he regained his composure: "Please!" As soon as Wang Qinglu came in, Zhou Jun was already having sex.
He said coldly: "Are you here to be a lobbyist?" "Yes!" Wang Qinglu didn't hide anything: "I came here to find a way out for Mr. Zhou."
"A way out?" Zhou Jun sneered.
Wang Qinglu sat down carelessly: "Why did our Dingguo Army only bombard your division? Not the rest?" This is what Zhou Jun was most puzzled about. After the Dingguo Army's battle to unify Sichuan broke out, he never fought with the Dingguo Army.
There was a head-on conflict between the Dingguo army. Why did the coalition encounter such a situation just after it was established?
"We didn't attack your division before because there was no conflict between your division and our army. Governor Wang has always admired our division as a human being, so why should everyone fall out?" Helping Zhou Jun solve the doubts in his mind, Wang Qinglu continued: "But
Today is different. Why did Commander Zhou join the coalition? What is the coalition? It is just a patchwork of ragtag groups that will be defeated sooner or later. Why should Commander Zhou get involved?"
Zhou Jun was a little angry: "Then why did Wang Hengyue use all the artillery to bombard me again?" "It's just to deceive others." Wang Qinglu smiled and said: "Commander Zhou imagined that if our army concentrated all its artillery firepower on the attack, Commander Zhou's troops would
Can they still survive? Since the bombardment, can the two wings and Chengdu have a soldier to help? The so-called coalition forces are just people with their own evil intentions." Zhou Jun was silent, but he didn't seem to understand the words "covering people's eyes and ears".
"Today's Four 1" Wang Dudu's Four 1 "None Others' Four 1" Can't Master Zhou still see it? Does Master Zhou have to be stubborn and willing to destroy the entire army here?"
"Then..." Zhou Jun hesitated.
Wang Qinglu smiled and then straightened his expression: "On the order of Wang Hengyue, the Governor of the Sichuan Military Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the Dingguo Army, Zhou Jun's division was reorganized into the Seventh Division of the Dingguo Army. Zhou Jun remained as the division commander and received a military salary of 100,000 yuan.
Reward Commander Zhou for his loyalty!" Zhou Jun saluted with a "ba": "Commander Zhou Jun of the 7th Division of the Dingguo Army, thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief, for your kindness!"!.
