Being able to know the history that will definitely happen in the future is definitely the most radiant aura of the protagonist.
What's more, Liu Lang also gave the red troops a certain bonus on firearms.
Liu Lang left Chengdu and returned to the independent regiment base the next day. Liu Xiang, holding his breath, ordered his troops to attack with all their strength.
On the 22nd, the Sichuan Army attacked Wanyuan. The defenders were General Xu, who was famous for his bravery and bravery from the 25th Division of the Ninth Army of the Red Army.
The Sichuan army attacked repeatedly and was repelled after bloody battles. On August 10, the main force of the red army took the initiative to attack and defeated Wang Zhulong of the Sixth Route at Qinglong Pass in Wanyuan, Sichuan. On August 11, General Xu of the red army led the ninth of the Fourth Army.
The army launched a counterattack against Tang Shizun's troops on the fifth route of the bandit suppression army. On the 16th of the same month, the Red Army defeated Yang Guozhen and Liu Xianyu's brigade on the fifth route between Wanyuan and Xuanhan. One-third of the fifth route was lost.
On the 17th, Pan Wenhua, commander-in-chief of the General Reserve Army, reported defeats on all fronts and asked Liu Xiang to temporarily take a defensive position. On the 21st, the left wing of the fifth line was defeated and retreated to Sanhui, Quxian County, retreating about 400 miles.
On August 23, the depressed Liu Xiang called to resign from his position as "Commander-in-Chief of Sichuan Bandit Suppression and Supervision of the Aftermath" due to military defeat, and left Chengdu to return to Chongqing. Liu Congyun, Chairman of the Front Military Commission, also resigned. On the 28th of the same month, the Red Army attacked from Tongjiang.
Defeat Li Jiayu in the third group and Yang Sen in the fourth group.
At this point, four of the six armies of the Sichuan Army have been defeated. The failure of the Sichuan Army's so-called "bandit suppression" has become a foregone conclusion.
Although Liu Xiang and Liu Lang never said a word about the bet, Liu Lang knew that he had completely escaped. At least Liu Xiang would not only not entangle in this matter, but would also help him block the pressure from above.
Of course, even though Liu Xiang took the initiative to resign after a complete defeat, Liu Lang knew very well that his cousin was very cunning, so this move of turning retreat into advancement was actually a clever move.
If he still stands in front of the stage, that will give the bald man an excuse to deal with him.
Sure enough, after the defeat of most of the Sichuan army, the Sichuan gentry asked the central government to send troops to Sichuan to "co-operate in the suppression" on September 1, and to comfort Liu Xiang. The bald man also called to express his condolences. On September 7, Liu Xiang was persuaded by all parties to cancel his resignation.
On the 8th, he telegraphed to the bald man who had just been considering the candidate for the new chairman of Sichuan, saying that he was "willing to use his power as an opposition to support the crisis."
The moment Liu Lang took Liu Xiang's telegram, he almost burst out laughing. He could completely imagine the extremely depressed face of the bald man. His so-called telegram of condolences was nothing more than a politician's hypocrisy. Who knew Liu Xiang
This old gangster shamelessly took it seriously.
The bravery of the Red Army once again opened Liu Lang's eyes. They were not satisfied with the huge results achieved throughout August. Under the leadership of Xu Shuai of the future Republic, the main force of the Red Army attacked the Li Jiayu and Yangsen defense lines at the mouth of the Bazhong River on September 7.
After a fierce attack, Luo Zezhou, the deputy commander of the third route, gave up Bazhong. On the 9th, the red troops transferred troops to attack Tian Songyao's troops in the second route. Li Weiru's division was routed. On the 12th, Tian Songyao's troops in the second route were defeated and retreated to Cangxi, Langzhong. The brigade commander Zeng Qirong and the four regiment commanders
Die in battle.
On the 23rd, Chiang Kai-shek urged Liu Xiang to resume his post as soon as possible, and at the same time ordered Liu Xiang to send troops to the Liu Lang Independent Regiment as soon as possible. From a procedural point of view, there was nothing wrong with this. The Liu Lang Independent Regiment was now affiliated with Liu Xiang's Seventh Route Army and also belonged to Liu Xiang's Seventh Route Army.
Sichuan Army Sequence. With all the warlords in Sichuan sending troops, it was the general trend for Liu Xiang to send his most elite force, the Liu Lang Independent Regiment, which could defeat the Japanese Eighth Division, to attack.
If he doesn't want to experience failure again.
But to everyone's surprise, Liu Xiang refused. The reason for the refusal was simple. There were at least nearly ten thousand "red bandits" in the west of Guangyuan. If they were transferred from the independent regiment, the "red bandits" would endanger Mianyang, and the consequences would be disastrous.
As soon as this statement came out, no one, including the bald man, mentioned it. Yes, compared to sending Liu Lang and a regiment to participate in the battle with the red troops, it is obvious that the safety of the oil fields in Sichuan Province was discovered with great difficulty.
more important.
Although there is still a Sichuan Army division of Fan Shaozeng and a brigade of the Central Army stationed in the oil field, no one dares to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Red Army. In August, the total strength of the Sichuan Army, which could not besiege 80,000 Red troops, exceeded 200,000.
People, what’s the result?
You must know that the Sichuan Army at this time was not the Sichuan Army in the past. The bald man went to great lengths to encourage the Sichuan Army to eliminate his henchmen. A large amount of weapons and equipment were transported into Sichuan to equip the Sichuan Army.
Moreover, when it comes to the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army, it is not as scummy as legend has it.
In fact, the scum of the Sichuan Army is only on the surface. On the surface, the word "Qiu Ba" is most accurate when used to describe them. Most of the Sichuan soldiers look like poor and evil ruffians, skinny as a stick and wearing military hats.
He wears his clothes crookedly, his collar is open, and he wears bad straw sandals all year round. He is not tall and can even be said to be short, and his mouth is not full of curse words. The soldier Liu Lang met was named Yang Songlin.
Chang is the most typical representative among them.
However, only troops who have fought with them know that they should not be underestimated. Sichuan is mountainous and poor, which has cultivated their hard-working character. They can carry heavy objects, run long distances, and endure hunger, thirst, and suffocation.
Even if you are anxious, you dare to risk your life. What is even more frightening is that since the Revolution of 1911, the warlords in Sichuan Province have been fighting for years, and the sound of gunfire has almost never stopped. The Sichuan Army, which grew up in this environment, has accurate marksmanship and rich combat experience.
, if given good management, they would be in no way inferior to any army in China at that time.
Otherwise, in the Battle of Songhu in time and space, the 26th Division belonging to the Sichuan Army would not have become one of the five best-performing divisions among China's 800,000-strong army in that bloody battle. Although,
Of the more than 4,000 officers and soldiers in the division, only 600 survived in the end, and the casualty rate reached a staggering 85%.
Faced with the Red Army that can defeat such an army, who dares to say that more than 10,000 people can defend it? Even a bald man does not dare to take this risk. The Liu Lang Independent Regiment with strong combat effectiveness will obviously stay in Guangyuan to deter the henchmen.
a little better.
Therefore, the independent regiment remained stationed in place.
With this news, not only Liu Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the red troops who were paying close attention to the military mobilization in Sichuan Province also breathed a sigh of relief.
The name of the tree is the shadow of a human being. Liu Lang's independent regiment, which was able to defeat the Japanese Eighth Division, is naturally very powerful, especially since Liu Lang conducted an acting-style exercise in front of them last time.
.No one wants to fight against such an elite army.
Even the warlords of the Sichuan Army under Liu Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which was slightly different from what the Red Army thought. If Liu Lang's independent regiment was dispatched and defeated, of course everyone would be unlucky together, but if they won, what would happen to everyone's faces?
But all was lost.
In fact, many important officials in the Military and Political Department also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Lang had already accumulated two medals of the Blue Sky and White Sun, but his promotion was blocked by the bald man. If he sent troops and gained military merit, he would not be promoted again.
It doesn't make sense. But the meaning of the bald man is very clear. The Liu family already has a provincial chairman general, and with another major general with real power, the Liu family will go to heaven!
This is absolutely not allowed for the bald man who has been committed to reducing the power of the warlords. The left can't do it, and the right can't do it. The important officials of the Military and Political Department simply hope that Liu Lang will just stay there!
Anyway, no matter how you put it, the fact that Liu Lang's independent regiment did not send troops was actually an extremely beneficial thing for himself, the government, Sichuan Province, and the Red Army.
It was strange that Liu Lang wanted to laugh, but for the first time he couldn't laugh.
This is a portrayal of China's current complex political situation. Is it weird? No, to be precise, it should be sad.
If it were a unified China and a monolithic China, given the courage of the little devils, they would only dare to squat on the edge of the East China Sea and drool over China's rich land, but not dare to raise troops to invade.
This is just like the newly established republic in time and space, which was in ruins and in need of reconstruction, but it still fought in the ice and snow of the northern country with the American soldiers who were armed to the teeth, and finally ended in a draw.
When the entire Chinese nation is united as one, no one will dare to humiliate them as much as the Japanese invaders do now.
Moreover, what makes Liu Lang even more unable to laugh is that the great strategic shift that once shone in the sky of history has finally begun just as it did in time and space.
The road to Phoenix Nirvana for a strong army is also paved with thousands of miles of blood.
What made Liu Lang unable to laugh was not this inevitable path, but...
