Qiao Yu originally thought that more than a hundred militiamen could not catch his eye, but when he heard about these two leaders, he was immediately stunned. These were not the future king of Yunnan and the future generals of the Yunnan Army. These two people were not
Are you from Yunnan? Why would you want to join your own army?
Although Qiao Yu has met many historical celebrities, he has never met such a powerful person in the future, so he was a little surprised. Wang Tianhe thought that the young master was a little surprised because the other party was from Yunnan.
"Master, they are from Yunnan. Logically speaking, they should not be accepted. However, the leader named Long Dengyun said that they saw Governor Qiao abolishing Lijin, restricting rent and interest, and maintaining the stability of the bank in Xufu, allowing the common people to
Their hard-earned money will not be lost, so they respect the governor’s character and hope to serve under him!”
Qiao Yu has never believed in the spirit of domination, but this time it seems that he has really caught two big fish, but now he is about to fight the Yunnan Army, and it is really not easy to arrange for these two people.
"Tianhe, arrange them into the Second Division and let them participate in the battle of attacking Duanfang. Remember not to discriminate, but don't attach too much importance to them. Just let them feel that they are no different from ordinary Sichuan soldiers. They will be rewarded for their merits.
Only fairness and justice can win people's trust without mercy. In addition, we also need to support some forces in Yunnan. Who can say what will happen in the future!"
Qiao Yu placed his first step in fighting for the world on Sichuan. However, as an inland province, Sichuan has some inherent shortcomings. Therefore, if it wants to develop greatly, Yunnan and Guizhou must not let go. Now Long Dengyun and Lu Han are coming
If you surrender, you will be the best weapon to fight against the Yunnan Army in the future!
Wang Tianhe received Qiao Yu's instructions and hurriedly made arrangements. Here Wu Tong and Qiao Yu continued to discuss strategies to deal with the Yunnan Army. Qiao Yu had already sent away all the civilian troops in Xufu to deal with Duan Fang.
We have gone, and now only the First Division of the Sichuan Army is left in Xufu, which can be arranged calmly.
According to the plan, some simple defenses were arranged along the Yangtze River. The Yunnan Army retreated as soon as they encountered a little resistance. In order to make the self-respecting Yunnan Army even more arrogant, they then set up three lines of defense outside Xufu City to resist layer by layer. Finally, they saw
Lure the Yunnan Army in, and then use the superior firepower to eliminate the Yunnan Army in one fell swoop. Although it is simple to say, it is more troublesome to mobilize, especially how to prevent the Yunnan Army from seeing the Sichuan Army's strategy of luring the enemy.
A lot of thought.
Wu Tong and Qiao Yu personally arranged the arrangements. When everything was almost ready, they received the report that the Yunnan Army had entered Sichuan from the Zhaotong area of Yunnan and was already approaching the Yangtze River. The army did not move, and public opinion took the lead. As a time traveler, it was
The power of public opinion will never be underestimated. From the moment the Yunnan Army entered Sichuan, all major newspapers in Sichuan published articles accusing the Yunnan Army of having ulterior motives and seeking Sichuan's resources.
For a time, public dissatisfaction in Sichuan was boiling, and the target was directed at the Yunnan Army. Cai E also began to publicize, pointing out that the Yunnan Army's entry into Sichuan was entirely to help Sichuan eliminate the die-hard Manchu elements and unify Sichuan as soon as possible. It was entirely out of justice, so that the Sichuan soldiers and people should not misunderstand.
However, Qiao Yu is not a vegetarian here, and immediately pointed out the problem in Cai E's words. Originally, Cai E said that he would assist Hubei through Sichuan, but now he did not mention Hubei, but instead wanted to help Sichuan. This changed in just a few days.
The two sides suddenly came up with an idea, what if it wasn't a plan for Sichuan? The two sides immediately started to fight with each other more and more fiercely, and the Yunnan Army's speed was not slow at all.
We have arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River in one breath. We can already see Xufu City in the distance across the Yangtze River. Xufu is the cut-off point of the Jinsha River. After Xufu, it is called the Yangtze River. The current in this section is very fast and the river is not wide.
, but it is quite difficult to cross the river under the current conditions...
As soon as Xie Ruyi led his troops to the Yangtze River, he hurriedly ordered his men to collect ships to prepare for crossing the river. In fact, Xie Ruyi really didn't pay attention to the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army. How could an army that had only been established recently compete with the Yunnan army that had experienced battles for a long time?
In the military fight, what he was worried about was that Qiao Yu would defend the Yangtze River and burn the ships. If he could not break through the Yangtze River defense line, it would be more troublesome.
Therefore, he was eager to find ships. However, what made Xie Ruyi very excited was that although the Sichuan army also seized some ships in advance, it was not complete. They still found more than ten ships along the way, and he also found that the defense on the other side of the river was not tight.
, heard that Qiao Yu had concentrated heavy troops in the Xu Mansion. After knowing this, Xie Ruyi looked down on Qiao Yu's military ability. If he didn't occupy the natural danger first, wouldn't he be courting death?
Therefore, after a brief preparation, Xie Ruyi ordered the artillery troops to bombard the other side. The equipment of the Yunnan Army was still quite sophisticated. The successive governors and governors of Yunnan and Guizhou invested a lot of effort in the construction of the Yunnan Army. Moreover, although the Qing government was corrupt,
They are quite willing to spend money on purchasing weapons, so the combat effectiveness of the Yunnan Army is definitely not weak. This time, Xie Ruyi's first echelon brought eighteen mountain cannons. They all took them out at this time, facing the Sichuan Army's position on the Yangtze River.
There was a fierce bombardment, followed by the firing of machine guns and rifles, and a group of Yunnan troops quickly rowed towards the other side under the cover of artillery fire.
At this time, the Sichuan Army seemed to be stunned. Only sporadic rifle shots were heard, which could not threaten the Yunnan Army's cross-river battle. The Yunnan Army soon succeeded in seizing the beach.
"The Sichuan Army is really useless with such fighting power. If I had known that the Sichuan Army was so vulnerable, our single echelon would be enough to sweep across Sichuan!" Xie Ruyi held up his binoculars and was extremely happy to see the Yunnan Army easily capture the other side.
The Yunnan Army quickly crossed the Yangtze River and built fortifications not far from Xufu City. Not far away was the Sichuan Army's position. These Sichuan Army only strengthened the fortifications and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack. Xie Ruyi felt very contemptuous. If he used his own troops,
Just when the Yunnan Army was crossing the river, they launched a fierce attack instead of blindly defending. How could they win if they didn't even have the spirit to attack? This also confirmed the news that the morale of the Sichuan Army was low, so Xie Ruyi looked down upon the Sichuan Army more and more.
On the second day, he did not wait for the second echelon to catch up, and launched an attack directly on the Sichuan Army's position. More than a dozen cannons began to pour shells on the Sichuan Army's position. The Sichuan Army did not show weakness. The two armies fired at each other, but it was obvious that
The quality of the artillery of the Sichuan Army is not as good as that of the Yunnan Army. This is not because Qiao Yu deliberately pretended, but because of the difference in strength between the two armies. Although the training of the Sichuan Army's artillery is not bad, it lacks actual combat experience, so naturally it cannot compare with the Yunnan Army.
I saw artillery shells falling on the Sichuan army's position one after another, blowing up the originally neat position beyond recognition. From time to time, stumps and broken legs flew into the air, looking extremely bloody.
After a burst of artillery fire, the Yunnan Army began to attack the Sichuan Army's position. Each Yunnan Army soldier leaned forward and quickly approached the Sichuan Army's position. These Yunnan Army were indeed elite. Although they were in motion, their marksmanship was still amazing.
Soon, many Sichuan Army soldiers were hit in vital parts and died on the spot. Seeing that the Yunnan Army was about to enter the Sichuan Army's position, the light and heavy machine guns rang out at the same time, and fire dragons were shot out. The Yunnan Army was immediately swept away.
Blockbuster.
Xie Ruyi was commanding from the front. When he saw the machine gun fire of the Sichuan Army, he also hurriedly called for machine gun cover. The two sides came and went to kill each other. Qiao Yu and Wu Tong were on the front line. They also knew very well that the Sichuan Army was a new army.
, whether they can withstand the Yunnan Army's attack, both of them have some doubts in their minds. The two sides are fighting fiercely. The medical team is constantly transporting the wounded. The current medical conditions are also relatively backward. Minor injuries are okay, but if they are seriously injured, they will probably die.
Completely ruined! Qiao Yu also deeply felt the cruelty of war. What can he do at this time?
"Can Yunhong still withstand it?" Liu Yunhong was supervising the battle on the front line at this time. When he saw Qiao Yu and Wu Tong coming to the front line in person, he was very excited.
"Governor, chief of staff, don't worry. Although the casualties are heavy, we can definitely withstand it. It's too dangerous here. You two should return to the back as soon as possible!"
