Chapter seven hundred and sixty-one the gods descended from heaven
"Cousin, I heard that you have just founded Chengdu University. When the Vice President called, he specifically mentioned that after stabilizing Sichuan, investment in education must be increased. The land of Bashu has produced talents in large numbers since ancient times, and in the future, national construction will be even more important.
Talents from all aspects are needed, and speaking of being an elder is also a contribution to the present generation and will benefit the future!"
Zhang Lan is a celebrity in Sichuan's educational circles. He participated in the road protection movement and served as governor for a period of time. He is very prestigious in Sichuan. However, when it comes to founding Chengdu University, Zhang Lan is most proud of it. Hearing the news from Chang Yinhuai
Praise is also a sign of joy.
"Education is the foundation of a country. If education thrives, the country will prosper. Not long ago, I sent a telegram to Mr. Cai Yuanpei to ask him about running schools. However, in the telegram, Mr. Cai praised the vice president's ideas and
I said that the most important thing in cultivating talents is practicality. Excessive freedom will only bring disorder. He also gave me eight words, which is to rely on the government and serve the country. Thinking about it carefully, I am still quite inspired. It is imperative to unify the country.
, Sichuan can’t continue to be in such chaos.”
Chang Yinhuai smiled and nodded: "I'm very knowledgeable. The Vice President has already said that although Sichuan is located inland, the terrain is more favorable, so it will increase investment in Sichuan and establish a base for the national defense industry.
It won’t be long before Sichuan will change drastically.”
"That's great!" Zhang Lan also said excitedly: "The people of Bashu are indeed suffering too much, and it's time for some changes. However, the civil strife has not been eliminated, and the Yunnan Army has invaded. Isn't it a little bit to think about other things?
Now that we are far away, let’s solve the immediate trouble first, right?”
When Chang Yinhuai heard this, he burst out laughing: "Cousin, this is just a small problem. Speaking of which, you have to take credit for it. After an open letter was passed, Liu Xiang has agreed to accept the reorganization, and Deng Xihou and Tian Song have also been added.
Yao, it is no longer a problem to stabilize Sichuan. As for Tang Jiyao, he is even more of a country chicken and a dog. I guarantee that he will be defeated soon!"
Zhang Lan saw Chang Yinhuai's nonchalant look and frowned: "Supervisor Chang, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, and I know very well that the National Defense Forces have unparalleled combat capabilities. However, the Yunnan Army has been wreaking havoc in Sichuan for many years, and has no combat effectiveness at all.
Don’t underestimate it. Although I don’t understand the art of war, I also know that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Please think twice!”
"Cousin, I understand what you mean, but just don't worry. There is no comparison between the armies of the two eras. No matter how hard Tang Jiyao tries, he won't be able to escape from his grasp. Just keep an eye on him."
Chang Yinhuai was confident, and Zhang Lan could not say much. He could only try his best to help maintain the situation in Sichuan. With Zhang Lan as a literary figure and Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao as a military figure, he quickly established control over Sichuan. Chongqing and Chengdu had already firmly established control over Sichuan.
is in the hands of the National Defense Forces.
At this time, Zhang Tinglan's ultimatum to Tang Jiyao came to an end. However, this guy was tough and did not retreat at all. Instead, he expanded the scope of control. He also claimed that Sichuan was unstable and the Yunnan Army needed to maintain peace in Sichuan.
There is no doubt that this is a challenge to Zhang Tinglan and the National Defense Force. This situation will never be tolerated, so Chang Yinhuai immediately called everyone over.
In addition to Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao, Liu Xiang, who had just been reorganized, also led the army south to Chengdu. When these three old friends met, each of them turned their faces away.
Liu Xiang looked down on these two defections, while Deng Xihou hated Tian Songyao for being the first to arrive. As for Tian Songyao, he looked disdainful. They are both foxes on the mountain, so don't tell me about Liaozhai. We have surrendered, so what else is there to say.
While these three people were having an awkward moment, Chang Yinhuai walked out with a smile, followed by Huang Xiansheng and Liu Guiwu. They were also sent by Zhang Tinglan to put down the Sichuan generals as soon as possible.
Chang Yinhuai glanced at it and then said: "Three of you, no matter what happened in the past, I hope you can put it aside for the time being. Dealing with Tang Jiyao this time is for the sake of the people of Sichuan. You can't be sorry for the land under your feet."
"Please rest assured, Supervisor, Liu Xiang knows that he has committed a serious crime and is willing to take the lead, even if he dies on the battlefield."
"It's not that serious. This time, the two division commanders Huang Xiansheng and Liu Guiwu will fight with you. There are five divisions in total, and they will drive the Yunnan Army out in one fell swoop. And let me tell you, there is a secret force to help this time, and it is still the first
The first time I go to the battlefield, I’m sure it will surprise everyone.”
Upon hearing what Chang Yinhuai said, everyone present was a little surprised, especially Deng Xihou and others. They had long heard that the National Defense Forces were well-equipped, but to what extent they did not know. When they heard that this time they would send out a large number of troops,
, they are also extremely curious.
At present, the Yunnan Army has occupied some land in southern Sichuan, including Yibin, Luzhou, Fushun and other places. Therefore, the army is divided into three groups this time. Huang Xiansheng and Deng Xihou set out from Dongchuan to attack Luzhou and other places. Liu Xiang and Liu Guiwu led the army
Attack Fushun and seize back the salt-producing land. Only Tian Songyao launched an attack from the west to seize Yibin.
After the division of troops and generals were completed, the three armies formed a formation and charged directly towards the Yunnan Army. While the army was marching, Liu Xiang was also thoughtful. He also carefully observed the equipment of the National Defense Forces, but he didn't know it.
It’s shocking to see the gap between the two sides is too astonishing!
The Sichuan army generally wears broken straw sandals, old military uniforms, and a Hanyang-made gun with worn rifling. There are some artillery in the army, but they are also old items thrown away by the Feng army over the years, and when fighting Feng Yuxiang, they also
Almost all is consumed.
However, the Feng army on the opposite side all had new rifles and a large number of submachine guns. One infantry company had six 82 mortars, the same number of heavy machine guns, and some grenade launchers.
Just these various kinds of equipment dazzled Liu Xiang, darling! The firepower of this individual soldier is too exaggerated. His own battalion may not be as good as someone else's company.
At this moment, Pan Wenhua pointed in horror at the artillery team passing not far away. There were cannons dragged by ten war horses that were advancing rapidly. The muzzles were so thick that it was the first time Liu Xiang had seen them.
"One door, two doors, three doors..."
"Fucheng, there are 36 gates in total!" Pan Wenhua almost gritted his molars and said, "Is this the so-called secret army?"
"Maybe, anyway, I never expected that the firepower of the National Defense Forces would reach this level. I heard that this is just a quick strike division. If it were a real field division, the equipment would be even more amazing."
"That's right." Liu Guiwu also came over at this time and said with a smile: "Although we are called a fast strike division, in order to adapt to the southwest battlefield, we only have mules and horses. Motor vehicles cannot be transported in at all. Large tanks
There are no armored vehicles either. The really powerful one is the Guards Division, which has now been motorized. Almost the entire division is made up of vehicles, and the whole division is just a gas tank."
Liu Guiwu pointed at these artillerymen and said with a smile: "This is a 105mm mountain cannon. It is not a secret weapon. The National Defense Forces have basically equipped this kind of artillery. There are also 122mm, 152mm, and even 203,240 artillery pieces. But
The road to Shu is difficult and cannot be transported in. However, these weapons will have no problem against Tang Jiyao."
Upon hearing Liu Guiwu's words, Liu Xiang and Pan Wenhua's eyes widened. The National Defense Force was too extravagant to be equipped to this level. If they had known this, there would be no ambition to fight for supremacy. Surrender quickly.
Forget it.
"Commander Liu, your equipment has reached this level and you are armed to the teeth. How else can you call it a secret killer unit?"
Liu Guiwu also smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know this either, I hope it can make my eyes brighter!"
The army marched south, and on just the third day, they collided with the vanguard of the Yunnan Army. The Yunnan Army had dominated the southwest for many years. The soldiers were indeed brave and their marksmanship was quite accurate.
Much higher than the Sichuan Army, Liu Xiang's troops encountered the Yunnan Army and suffered some losses. However, this was Sichuan's territory and these soldiers did not want to lose face, so they all fought to the death.
At this time, Liu Guiwu also ordered the troops to launch an attack. The gap in combat effectiveness between the two troops was reflected. Facing the attack of the National Defense Force, the Yunnan Army could not withstand the attack at all. Soon, there were dead bodies and they fled in embarrassment.
The Sichuan army was also greatly encouraged and quickly pursued southward, all the way to Fushun. Tang Jiyao placed all his main forces here. The well salt in southern Sichuan was a money tree, and he was absolutely unwilling to give up.
A total of more than 18,000 Yunnan troops were gathered together, preparing for a fight to the death. Although Liu Guiwu did not take Tang Jiyao seriously, he was a figure who had dominated the southwest for many years and should not be underestimated.
The National Defense Forces used the most skilled infantry and artillery to coordinate operations. Each unit formed assault arrows. Under the accurate cover of artillery fire, they continuously cut open the Yunnan Army's defense line, and then ate it bit by bit. It was like peeling a cabbage, with the outer skin
Disappearing layer by layer.
Tang Jiyao in the city became more and more anxious as he listened to the sound of artillery fire outside. He did not expect that the National Defense Forces were so powerful. The opponent's cannons and guns seemed to have eyes. They were so accurate that they seemed to have endless firepower.
Same.
Just when Tang Jiyao was retreating steadily, his subordinates suddenly came to report in a panic.
"Commander-in-Chief, something bad has happened. Luzhou has been lost, and the National Defense Forces are launching an attack on Yibin."
"What!" When Tang Jiyao heard the news, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. That was his escape route. If it was confiscated, how could he return to Yunnan?
"Retreat quickly, the entire army retreats." Tang Jiyao had no choice but to issue a retreat order. More than 10,000 Yunnan troops were unable to escape quickly and wanted to cross the Yangtze River and retreat to Yunnan.
But at this moment, twelve large transport planes suddenly appeared in the sky above Zhaotong, Yunnan. The huge fuselage passed through the clouds. The pilot carefully searched for a flat and spacious location, and finally selected a location.
After that, the transport plane lowered the speed to about 500 meters.
The moment the cabin opened, soldiers jumped out one after another. White parachutes kept appearing in the air. Amid the exclamations of the farmers on the ground, they fell to the ground.
