On July 12th, the Dingguo army in Sichuan captured Tongzi, and on the 12th, Wang Hengyue's troops came to Zunyi.
The Dingguo army, which had set up cannons, was bombarded by a barrage of roaring artillery shells at Zunyi. The Jin army in Zunyi city was so embarrassed that they had no intention of resisting!
On the 12th, the Dingguo army captured Zunyi!
The situation is critical.
Since the Dingguo army entered Jin, it has been overwhelming. The Jin army has been fleeing and basically dare not challenge the situation. The entire battle situation in Guizhou has completely tilted in favor of the Dingguo army!
On the 15th, Wang Yuyue concentrated the troops of five divisions and launched a fierce attack on Xifeng and Weng'an.
The majestic Guizhou Campaign has officially entered its most exciting chapter!
In the three southwestern provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, although wars continued, there were only sporadic contacts, including the battle to protect the country. The scale was also limited to a certain range, and basically all of them were concentrated in Sichuan.
The scale of the Guizhou strategy battle organized by Wang Hengyue was unprecedented!
Six main divisions, two artillery regiments, one combat engineer regiment, and two independent mixed brigades that subsequently entered Guizhou as reinforcements completely concentrated a large number of troops to attack Guizhou.
The only ones you can trust in Guizhou are Dou Juren, Gu Zhenglun, Hu Ying, Zhang Chunpu,
The elites of He Yingqin's fifth brigade and the fifth mixed brigade personally controlled by Wang Wenhua and the three temporarily organized "police" brigades were assigned to three brigades transformed from bandits and local armed forces.
The plan formulated by Yuan Zuming was completely ineffective.
After the fall of Loushanguan, Liu Xianshi's special envoy came to Wang Hengyue's army to ask for negotiations, but Wang Hengyue refused and said generously in front of the special envoy, "The three provinces will not withdraw their troops until they die! I am not doing it for myself and for the sake of the world! Today Guizhou
Anarchy, arrogance and arrogance have invaded our country many times in Sichuan, and have secretly supported Zhang Xun's restoration, and later the whole world has been outraged and the whole world has been fighting against it! Now that the country has conquered the rebels, they have entered the peaceful land of Jin, and there are those who have withdrawn their troops before they have succeeded!
When Wang Hengyue's words reached Liu Xianshiduoli, the ruler of Guizhou was furious.
Why is there no excuse for the crime of Yu Jia? But the excuse of the king's military governor of "righteousness and awe-inspiring justice" does not make sense when did Guizhou support Zhang Xun and when did he support the restoration?
Wang Hengyue's original purpose is to occupy Guizhou!
And Yuan Zuming's plan to penetrate the enemy deeply did not have any effect at all.
The Dingguo army has always maintained a tight defensive position and responded to the situation without giving any opportunity to advance!
The news coming from Yunnan is equally bad. The main force of the Guizhou army is in a fierce battle with the Yunnan army. Both sides are suffering casualties and no one can take advantage. Yunnan currently has no strength to assist Guizhou!
Everything can only depend on Guizhou itself!
On the 1st, in just one day, the Dingguo army defeated the Guizhou [Police] First Brigade and the temporarily formed 10th Brigade of the Jin Army.
Xifeng and Weng'an fell into Wang Pingyue's house without any suspense.
The fall of these two places was unexpected by Yuan Zuming. Yuan Zuming concentrated all his main forces on the Kaiyang front line to prepare for a decisive battle with the Dingguo army!
Before the decisive battle, secret work on both sides was also going on. "Mr. Zhou, here is a bank note of 200,000 yuan. Please accept it."
Liu Xianshi's nephew Wang Wenhua's brother-in-law Liu Cuichang appeared at the division headquarters of Zhou Jun, the commander of the Seventh Division, and pushed out a silver nose worth 200,000 yuan.
"What does this mean?" Zhou Jun took a look and asked.
"Mr. Zhou, don't you understand what this means?" Liu Jiuchang smiled and said, "Wang Hengyue, a great warlord, relied on his own force to attack me brazenly. Guizhou is not going well. Heaven's way is not going well with the people. The limelight is strong right now, but sooner or later, we will be defeated! Master Zhou!"
He made such great contributions in the battle to conquer Chengdu, but he is still just a division commander. In fact, in my opinion, Commander Liu, Commander Zhou is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Dingguo Army, so why not?
Zhou Jun squinted his eyes and glanced at the banknote, "Are you here to sow discord between us?,
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Liu Jiachang said repeatedly, "We just feel that Master Zhou's illustrious martial arts and popularity in Sichuan are not worthy of being a Sichuan governor. So what?" Zhou Jun smiled slightly but didn't.
answer.
Liu Kechang said quickly, "Our Governor Liu said that as long as Master Zhou is willing to help us, I, Guizhou, will do our best to help Master Zhou ascend to the position of Governor of Sichuan. If he violates the oath, it will be thunderous! Zhou Jun pondered for a long time.
Then he slowly said, "What do you want me to do?" Liu Cichang was immediately overjoyed and cheered up. "Seeing that the formation of the National Army's Seventh Division was closest to Wang Hengyue's general headquarters, when the decisive battle broke out, Commander Zhou could lead the Seventh Division to defect on the battlefield and storm.
If Wang Hengyue's command headquarters kills Wang Hengyue in one fell swoop, it will be a big deal! Our Jin Army will be responsible for holding back the Ding Guo Army so that they have no time to clone themselves! Zhou Jun closed his eyes.
Liu Cichang stared there without daring to say a word.
After a long while, Ju Jun opened his eyes and said slowly! "Leave the banknotes here for now. Go back and tell you, Governor Liu, that I know what to do."
"Hengshuai Gu Zhenglun has already agreed to our conditions and will switch sides once the war breaks out on the battlefield!"
"Oh, I see." Wang Hengyue flipped through the book inside and said indifferently.
Gu Zhenglun himself knows very well that he is a striking figure who often stirs up troubles and bloodshed, and is a ruthless character who kills without blinking an eye!
This person is accustomed to acting according to the circumstances. When his boss is strong, he will be loyal and loyal. When his boss is in decline, he will betray him without hesitation. This person seems to be somewhat imaginary with Yu Lei.
It is too easy for such a person to bribe him!
Wang Qinglu hesitated for a moment, "Heng Shuai, I'm worried about Zhou Jun now."
"What's wrong?" Wang Hengyue's eyes were still fixed on the book he was reading.
"Zhou Jun is very untrustworthy, and it seems to me that there are suspicious people coming and going in his division today. I'm afraid."
Halfway through Wang Qinglu's words, Wang Hengyue finally let go of his words: "Are you afraid that he will be bribed to rebel against him like Gu Zhenglun?"
Wang Qinglu nodded.
Wang Hengyue threw the contents aside, "I know this person Huai Zhao Zhou Jun best. It's not that I'm afraid, but that this person is very likely to turn against me. He has never accepted my position. I didn't kill him in the first place."
Because firstly, when we attacked Chengdu, this person had meritorious service and he had no excuse to kill the heroes. The soldiers would not be convinced. Secondly, this person still has some reputation and followers in Sichuan. Killing him suddenly will definitely cause changes in Sichuan."
Wang Hengyue stood up, "Do you know why I took him with me on this expedition?"
"Could it be?" Wang Qinglu frowned, "could Heng Shuai want to take this opportunity to deal with him?"
Wang Hengyue smiled, "If such a person stays in Sichuan, he will become a personal enemy to the chief of staff, and he will also become a bomb. Only by placing it next to me can I kill him when he has second thoughts! At the same time, the old forces in Sichuan
It’s time to solve it in one fell swoop.”
Wang Qinglu nodded thoughtfully, "Could it be that Hengshuai sent two mixed brigades in just for Liuqinli to know?" Wang Hengyue said as he walked to the table, picked up his pen and wrote a few notes.
Then he nodded and said, "Show these notes to the commanders of each division and they will understand."
Wang Qinglu came over, looked at it and put it away.
"After Huaizhao gives these orders to the commanders of each division, you will stay in the Fourth Base temporarily." Wang Hengyue said suddenly.
Wang Qinglu understood the meaning of Wang Hengyue's words without even thinking about it and smiled with relief, "Hengshuai, you underestimate me too much. Could it be that Hengshuai can take risks but I can't? Although Hengshuai, I am not a soldier, but since I followed him in Ya'an
Hengshuai has already decided to advance and retreat together with Hengshuai, so Hengshuai can’t drive me away!”
Wang Hengyue laughed loudly, "Well, you and I can advance and retreat together. I really want to see who else in the world can point a gun at my head! Everyone who wanted to take my head has lost their head first!"
"
Wang Qinglu bowed his head and said, "The reason why Hengshuai was chosen is because Hengshuai is not afraid of anything, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Hengshuai doesn't care. He will win the battle and take the attack. Sooner or later, the world will belong to Hengshuai!"
Wang Hengyue put away his smile and sat back silently.
July 20, 1917.
"No, I have to go back to Hengshuai. It's too dangerous for him to deal with the crisis alone!" After reading the note, Ma Weizhong gritted his teeth and wished he could return to Wang Hengyue immediately.
"Commander." Liu Zhaocheng, who was just promoted to brigade commander, said calmly, "The reason why Hengshuai did this is because he doesn't want any surprises to happen to our Guizhou strategy. This is what Hengshuai wants to see most."
"But what should we do with Hengshuai?" Ma Weizhong said loudly with his eyes wide open.
Liu Zhaocheng looked very calm, "I expect Hengshuai will be fine. Since he dares to be so bold, he must be well prepared. The rebels are not his opponent. Besides, as long as we defeat the Jin army on the opposite side, we will be the greatest support to Hengshuai."
He said and brought Ma Weizhong to the map, "Commander, please see why Hengshuai specifically withdrew his general headquarters to the front line of Huāli? Because Hengshuai wants to open up a channel and completely annihilate the rebels. So Hengshuai wants to
Far more careful than us. What we have to do is fight with our eyes first!"
Ma Weizhong couldn't say anything for a while, and his eyes fell back on the piece of paper. It said, "There will be rebel forces attacking according to the previous plan. Don't worry about my life or death!" (To be continued.!.
