After checking all the weapons and ammunition three times to make sure that there was no problem with the firearms and that the ammunition was ready and in place, Wang Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried about the arrival of the new recruits and was not at ease.
Soon the reconnaissance soldiers discovered the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army arrived 1,000 meters away from the First Division's fortifications and began to get busy. It looked like they were building fortifications. Everyone in the First Division was ordered not to fire without Wang Jiuling's order, so
Everyone watched the Sichuan army building fortifications there.
And Wang Jiuling had already made arrangements. It was clear during the day, and he could only wait for the attack at night. If the enemy did not know the layout of the personnel and equipment of the First Division, the army would inevitably be demoralized and fearful until it collapsed.
Seeing the Sichuan Army building fortifications in a swaggering manner, Wang Jiuling knew that the Sichuan Army was not planning to fight. Imam and the others would send people to negotiate and threaten them first. However, 30,000 people came and it was clear that they were here to fight. Now they were just a deterrent.
I wanted to minimize the losses. It seems that the more than 10,000 men of the First Division played a role. If it was still the same regiment, it would have been attacked long ago.
Presumably Liu Wenhui's appetite will not be small, and he will definitely not be able to accept it. Besides, seizing Sichuan, at least seizing Panzhihua is Wang Jiuling's first step in resisting Japan. If there is no territory and a good reputation for training troops, then what is the point of resisting Japan? Compared with Liu Wenhui, who is just for
To satisfy his own selfish desires for unification, Wang Jiuling's thoughts are much nobler. At least at this juncture, he will not engage in civil war, become the chairman, unify the southwest, unify the whole country, etc.
However, Wang Jiuling was very happy to see the Sichuan army building fortifications on the open land. Originally, Wang Jiuling planned to move the fortifications forward and occupy the dangerous terrain. However, his own troops were insufficient and poorly trained, and the Sichuan army was large in number and they were veterans.
Our defense is a little better, but the attack is obviously inappropriate, but if you don't attack, you will die, so the attack was changed to night
The dark night can make the defenders who do not know the enemy's situation feel unstable. As long as a hole is opened, the domestic army will definitely retreat. This is not Verdun. Everyone swears to fight for money.
At the same time, you can't see far in the dark night. The recruits can't see the large number of Sichuan troops, so they won't be so panicked. When they see the veterans charging, they will also rush forward. Moreover, the hundreds of Czech ZB-26s equipped by Wang Jiuling can be used by then.
When it works, it’s obvious how terrifying the firepower of hundreds of light machine guns is.
The only thing Wang Jiuling can do now is to ask the veterans to take good care of their soldiers. If they abscond without fighting, they will be killed without mercy. At the same time, the guard company will act as military police and supervise the battle from behind.
Liu Wencai seemed to have guessed that Wang Jiuling would not attack them. Now he saw the First Division lying in the trench and looking at them, just feeling funny
When other officers saw the First Division like this, they couldn't help but despise Wang Jiuling. For half a year, the newspapers had trumpeted Wang Jiuling as if he were a god. Today, they can't see anything like this. If they were really capable, they would still be here watching the Sichuan Army build it under their noses.
Trench, as a soldier, don't you know that when the Sichuan Army builds the trench, they will have no chance, and they knew before they came that Wang Jiuling did not have aircraft, tanks, etc.
A Sichuan Army officer said: "This guy named Wang is not very good! The newspapers praised him so much before! Now I see that we will only lie down in the ditch, haha..." Others also laughed.
stand up
A division commander of the Sichuan Army said: "Don't underestimate them. Just look at the layout of those trenches and sandbags. You will know that they are not simple. If we can't reach an agreement, we will fight. I'm afraid the losses will not be small."
Only then did these officers take a closer look at the defense fortifications of the First Division and found some clues. As expected, they were experienced people. They really couldn't do it without electricity. Not long ago, the Sichuan Army also brought artillery, so those fortifications were basically useless.
Don't be afraid. A burst of bombardment will blow up those fortifications to pieces.
Liu Wencai didn't speak. She was just calculating how to talk to Wang Jiuling to get the most benefits.
Liu Wencai soon made up his mind. He asked someone to hold a white flag in front, and he and a few bodyguards followed behind, heading towards the position of the First Division.
Wang Jiuling saw the Sichuan army raising a white flag and wanted to come over, so he asked them to come over.
Everyone else was wearing blue cloth uniforms similar to those of the Beiyang Army. Only one person was wearing a long robe and a mandarin jacket. Wang Jiuling knew at first glance that he was in charge, and he looked quite familiar.
Soon the soldiers unloaded the weapons of the Sichuan soldiers. The big soldiers stayed outside and only brought the middle-aged man who was a long-distance runner into the trench to see Wang Jiuling.
Wang Jiuling raised her hands to this man and asked, "I wonder why sir came to see me?"
The middle-aged man also bowed his hands to Wang Jiuling and said, "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age! I didn't expect Commander Wang to be so young!" Liu Wencai knew that Wang Jiuling now had a division, but he only mentioned Wang Jiuling's military position in Shanghai. In fact, he just wanted to show off his power.
, remind me of Wang Jiuling’s current identity
Wang Jiuling didn't say anything. He wanted to see what the middle-aged man wanted to do.
As expected, Liu Wencai saw that Wang Jiuling was silent, so he had no choice but to break the awkward deadlock, "I am the representative of the Sichuan Army, Liu Wencai, and I am also Chairman Liu's fifth brother."
No wonder it looks familiar. It turns out that this is Liu Wencai. Baidu said in the past that this guy is greedy and extortionate. His role for Liu Wenhui is just like that of Song Ziwen to Chiang Kai-shek, and even more important. At least Lao Chiang does not have Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi.
With a smile on his face, Wang Jiuling bowed his hand to Liu Wencai and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Liu, I'm sorry! But I don't know why Mr. Liu brought these tens of thousands of troops to Panzhihua?"
"The area here is under Chairman Liu's jurisdiction. I heard from the head of Yanbian County that a group of militants have gathered here recently. Chairman Liu was afraid that they would harass the people, so he personally led 40,000 troops to consolidate public order." Although Liu Wenhui hasn't said anything yet
Yes, but what this means is that Wang Jiuling and others
"Why haven't I heard anything about the militants? It's too much work to mobilize 40,000 troops. It's not like when the army moves, the food and grass will be moved first. How much will it cost for these 40,000 troops to eat, drink and have sex?" Wang Jiuling did not change the topic.
Directly bring it on yourself, you said it first, and then you became passive.
At first, Liu Wenhui didn't plan to say it himself. Generally speaking, young people are prone to impulsivity. He was waiting for Wang Jiuling to bring it up first. Unfortunately, Wang Jiuling never said it, but rambled on...
Half an hour later, Liu Wenhui felt that there was no point in going on. Wang Jiuling was determined not to say it himself, so he might as well say it himself.
"Commander Wang, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. You know that Sichuan has always been under Chairman Liu's jurisdiction, but you actually agreed to train tens of thousands of troops here. This is something that only rebels would do. In ancient times, they would be beheaded.
Yes, but Chairman Liu used his strength and decided not to pursue you, but you must hand over all the weapons. At the same time, Chairman Liu gave you a regular battalion establishment. Chairman Liu also knew your sins against the Japanese, so he agreed.
Yes, and Chairman Liu will protect you from now on. Chairman Liu plans to invest 60% of the shares in your company. Chairman Liu has more than 100,000 troops. In the future, you don’t have to worry about the Japanese and Chiang Kai-shek coming to you." Liu Wencai
The fox tail was finally exposed, and he said with a smile.
"Haha... Mr. Liu is joking. If there is only one battalion, I may be killed at any time. How can you protect me? What can you do to the Japanese if they kill me?" Wang Jiuling asked, but he did not mention it.
Money, it should be because he knows that it seems more sincere
"This..." Liu Wencai was at a loss for words.
Wang Jiuling said: "Mr. Liu, foreigners have such great power in China. If they send hundreds of experts to put on makeup and assassinate me, can they resist it with just one battalion? Even if they blocked it the first time, my people
They are all dead. It takes at least half a year to train a battalion, and they are sending a group here, which takes more than a month. What can I do to resist at that time?"
Liu Wencai dared to speak, and Wang Jiuling said again: "My head is worth one million to the Japanese. If I only have a few hundred people, no one can guarantee that Chairman Liu or his generals will be short of money one day."
Will you touch me?" Wang Jiuling pressed forward step by step, giving Liu Wencai the false impression that Wang Jiuling didn't care about money, but only cared about his own life.
