The Yunnan War started with the civil strife in Kunming, and its outcome was already doomed!
When Gu Pinzhen in Songming learned about the civil war in Kunming, he stayed there. He knew clearly: everything has come to an end!
The failure of the Battle of Yunnan could no longer be avoided for the Yunnan Army, and all he could do was to perform his last duty as a soldier.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of military honor.
Jiang Baili had already sent someone to persuade him to surrender, but he refused, not for anything else but for two seemingly absurd and childish words: honor!
In the eyes of others, these two words may be nothing, but in my own eyes, there is nothing more precious than this!
Jiang Baili also had some helplessness. He could achieve victory on the battlefield, but he could not change the determination of a true soldier.
Just when Jiang Baili was preparing to launch a final fierce attack on Songming, a letter from Wang Hengyue of Guizhou arrived to Gu Pinzhen.
Jiang Baili sent someone to deliver this letter to Gu Pinzhen...
"Mr. Xiao Zhai..." Gu Pinzhen opened the letter, which was written by Wang Hengyue himself: "In the battle to protect the country in the past, Mr. fought bravely and bravely, regardless of death, and defeated Beiyang. It was a song and a tear, and the country and the nation will never forget it. Today.
In order to defend Yunnan, Mr. Wu fought on his own as a lone army, and his spirit moved Tian Bin.
Heng Yue is not seeking for his own interests, but for planning the Yunnan land. The country is currently in chaos, and the southwest is in a corner. If we divide, we cannot protect ourselves, but if we unite, we can strengthen ourselves. Even if you don't cherish it, sir," Gu Pinzhen locked herself in the headquarters.
For half a day, no one knew what the former enemy commander was thinking.
The Dingguo army's offensive suddenly stopped, and it seemed that they were cooperating with Wang Hengyue in their last-ditch effort to win over Gu Pinzhen...
That day, when it was getting late, Gu Pinzhen finally walked out of his headquarters. He summoned all his officers above the regiment to his side and said straight to the point: "Lou is ready to negotiate peace with the Dingguo Army."
No one spoke up, and everyone knew what "peace talks" meant.
"The war is over for us." Gu Pinzhen's voice sounded very heavy: "On the opposite side of us, there are troops that far exceed our strength. Just firing cannons can flatten our place. I am determined to die.
In order to repay Cai E's kindness in nurturing me, Wang Hengyue sent me a letter. He asked me in it, even if I don't cherish my own life, don't I also cherish the lives of thousands of soldiers of the Yunnan Army?
"
He sighed softly: "Originally, no matter how eloquent Wang Hengyue was, I would not be tempted, but these words touched me. It is insignificant to kill me alone, but so many brothers in the Yunnan Army are knowingly
Why should you accompany me to death when you are bound to fail? It's over, the war should be over. Since Wang Hengyue wants to unify Yunnan, let him unify Yunnan..."
When Gu Pinzhen finished saying these words, he seemed to have unloaded a thousand-jin package. On October 16, 1917, the day after the Kunming Incident, Gu Pinzhen, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army, ordered the troops to stop shooting and sent negotiators to negotiate with them.
The Sichuan Army negotiates.
Jiang Baili accepted the eight conditions proposed by Gu Pinzhen, including treating the Yunnan Army well and fully guaranteeing and respecting the lives of the Yunnan Army soldiers.
Later, Gu Pinzhen, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army, ordered the front-line Yunnan Army to stop resisting with force and stay in place, waiting for the Dingguo Army to take over the position.
The war on the front line is over.
When Jiang Baili and Gu Pinzhen met, they were very calm. Gu Pinzhen even solemnly gave Jiang Baili a military salute as he would treat his superior!
Cai E is his old boss, and Jiang Baili is Cai E's good friend. There is nothing inappropriate in this.
"Where are you going, Commander-in-Chief Gu?" Jiang Baili asked.
Gu Pinzhen sighed: "Where am I still the commander-in-chief now? If allowed, Commander-in-Chief Jiang can give me a horse. I am going to leave the army from now on and inherit the family business to practice medicine." "Practice medicine?" Jiang Baili's eyebrows twitched.
Next: "Brother Xiaozhai has been in the army for a long time. Isn't it a pity?"
Gu Pinzhen smiled: "It's not a pity. My father wanted me to be a doctor before, but I just put on this clothes. Now I just take this opportunity to leave the army and study medical skills. It can be considered a favor to my father."
Let me explain..." Suddenly his eyes dimmed: "If I had definitely studied Kuang well back then, maybe Cai E wouldn't be naughty."
Jiang Baili did not try to retain Gu Pinzhen. Everyone has their own ambitions, so it would be meaningless to force him to stay...
Gu Pinzhen, courtesy name Xiaozhai, was born in Kunming into a family of doctors.
Fusheng in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1909, he returned to Yunnan from Japan and served as a military instructor and cavalry section chief of the Yunnan Army Lecture School. In 1911, he successively served as the commander of the cavalry regiment, the captain of the student team of the Yunnan Army Lecture School, the principal, and the director of the arsenal.
Commander of the 2nd Army Brigade, Lieutenant General Commander of the 2nd Division,
Lieutenant general commander of the Sixth Division, supervisor of the Yunnan Military Academy and other positions. After the defeat in the Sichuan-Yunnan War in 1917, he left the army.
After that, Gu Pinzhen concentrated on practicing medicine, studied medical skills, and became a very famous doctor in Yunnan.
He once dominated the country. In the battle to protect the country, under the command of Cai E, he defeated Beiyang.
But when all the glory is gone, perhaps living an ordinary life is the most carefree thing. The front line has failed, and in Kunming City, the decisive battle has also reached the final moment!
The Guizhou army first rebelled, then defected to the Dingguo army, and once again launched a fierce attack on the Yunnan army in the city.
The battle was very fierce, and Tang Jiyao and Zhao Youxin knew very well that this would be the final decisive battle in the Battle of Yunnan!
Inside the city, the Yunnan troops outside the city launched a massive offensive in an attempt to recapture the city gate.
However, the Sichuan-Guizhou Allied Forces guarded their positions and waited for the arrival of the main force.
Time passes minute by minute, and every time you delay, the danger will be one step closer...
Zhao Youxin appeared on the battlefield in person, personally commanded the troops, and launched a wave of attacks towards the city gate.
At this time, a new situation occurred: the commanders of a certain brigade of the Yunnan Army declared neutrality and would no longer participate in the battle!
The brigade commander enjoyed high prestige among the Yunnan army, and his neutrality caught Zhao Youxin off guard.
The fortress is most afraid of being captured from the inside!
The situation was a little out of control, and the Yunnan soldiers were panicked.
This gave Liu Zhaocheng, who was commanding the battlefield, time to rearrange his troops! He quickly adjusted his troops and mixed the 7th Brigade with the defecting Jin Army to block pressure from both directions.
"The Yunnan Army seems to be in a bit of chaos." He Yingqin pointed to the front.
Liu Zhaocheng picked up the telescope and looked across. Although he didn't know what was going on there, he immediately made a decisive decision: "Commander He, you continue to command the battle here, I will lead two battalions to attack in reverse!"
"Attack inwardly?" He Yingqin didn't understand the intention for a moment.
Liu Zhaocheng said calmly: "We must persist until the main force arrives. The Yunnan army is stronger than me, and we lack heavy weapons. We don't know how long we can defend. The pressure from both sides is too great. Taking advantage of the current chaos of the Yunnan army, we
Attacking in reverse can buy us time!" He Yingqin was somewhat glad that he was early anyway.
These Dingguo troops are really capable of fighting in the future. If they haven't defected yet, they may become prisoners in a short time...
The sudden counterattack of the Dingguo Army caught the Yunnan Army by surprise.
There are many generals in the Yunnan Army who can fight and dare to fight. They are brave and brave and are not afraid of many casualties. But the only thing they lack is a handsome man who can grasp the overall situation!
Once Cai E left, it can be said to be a heavy loss for the Yunnan Army!
Under the fierce attack of the two battalions personally commanded by Liu Zhaocheng, the numerous Yunnan troops fell into chaos and retreated continuously, which in vain reduced the pressure on the Sichuan-Jinjin Allied Forces.
Zhao Youxin pressed hard one after another, and finally managed to stabilize his position.
However, Liu Zhaocheng, who had made a breakthrough, did not take advantage of the situation to continue the attack. Instead, he built a defense line on the spot and secured another buffer area for the defenders in the direction of the city gate!
Zhao Youxin is really anxious. If this continues, Kunming will no longer belong to the Tang Governor!
The officers who were personally selected by Zhao Youxin formed the officer death squad and launched the most ferocious attack on the Dingguo army with the cry of "Aoao".
The battle was very brutal, and time meant everything to both sides.
At the same time, the Yunnan Army outside the city also stepped up its attacks, trying to break through the obstruction as soon as possible and join up with the friendly forces inside the city!
Gunpowder smoke filled Kunming, and explosions shook the lost ground.
The last battle of the Yunnan War is in full swing in Kunming.
He Yingqin couldn't stand it anymore.
Those Yunnan troops were really capable of fighting. They could only be repulsed with one wave, and then they rushed forward again with a roar of "Aowao".
But He Yingqin had no choice but to bite the bullet and grit his teeth and continue to persevere!
Casualties are increasing, and some forward positions have been breached by the Yunnan Army.
He Yingqin personally shot and killed a platoon leader who gave up his position, thus stabilizing the morale of the army a little. But how long can we hold on? If we continue to fight like this, it may be over before reinforcements arrive.
Tang Jiyao wanted to kill himself, and Wang Wenhua also wanted to kill himself. What would be his fate?
At this time, chaos suddenly broke out behind the Yunnan Army, which was attacking fiercely. Countless loud bugles sounded, and countless soldiers appeared behind the Yunnan Army.
Military flags were flying there, and the big characters on the flags were clearly visible: Determine the country and fight against rebellion!
At the most critical moment, two regiments of the guard division commanded by Jia Haoyang finally appeared on the battlefield.
"Huh!" He Yingqin let out a long sigh of relief.
All the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan-Jin Alliance Army also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Yunnan War has reached this point and has finally come to an end!!
