At the end of July 1913, Xiong Kewu convened a joint meeting of the heads of the Yucheng Alliance, the division headquarters of the 5th Division, and the brigade and regimental commanders at the division headquarters, and officially decided to electrify the whole country and announce [***]. At the meeting, everyone unanimously elected Xiong Kewu as the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Yuan Army, and Yang Shukan as the director of the Sichuan Civil Affairs Department. Xiong and Yang led their troops west to crusade against Hu Jingyi!

Sichuan is finally in chaos!

Immediately, the "seriously ill" Wang Hengyue also appeared in the new headquarters in Leshan.

Seeing Wang Hengyue's arrival, Jiang Baili said straight to the point: "Jiangsu's Yuan army lost the battle with Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Second Army and Zhang Xunwuwei's front army in the Xuzhou area, and retreated to Nanjing. From the 22nd to the 28th, Shanghai asked Yuan Jun to repeatedly attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. The command was disbanded by the Shanghai Concession authorities. And Huang Xing saw that the overall situation was hopeless, so he ran away from Ning and asked Yuan Jun to shake the overall situation. ”

"Did Huang Xing run away again?" The corners of Wang Hengyue's mouth twitched: "What about Xiong Kewu?" ”

"Xiong Kewu's army is attacking fiercely, and in a short period of time it has successively conquered Yongchuan, Rongchang, Longchang, Neijiang and other places, and is now advancing towards Luzhou. Hu Jingyi mobilized the strength of four divisions to resist, and the news that I was sent to the mixed division has also arrived, Heng Shuai, this is Hu Jingyi's telegram. ”

Wang Hengyue didn't even look at the telegram, and threw it aside: "Pull Ma Xiao's mixed group out and prepare to 'support' Luzhou." ”

"Heng Shuai is ready to make a move on Luzhou?" Jiang Baili immediately guessed Wang Hengyue's intentions.

Wang Hengyue smiled and nodded: "Fucking chaotic revolution, everyone is moving their own minds, take advantage of this opportunity Lao Tzu to make some benefits, Lao Tzu is really sorry for himself!" ”

Jiang Baili also smiled: "It's a revolution in name, but in fact, it's all fighting its own way, if you can unite as one, or there is a possibility of victory." But in this situation, in the face of the elite Beiyang Army, there is really no chance of winning. ”

"So Lao Tzu has to develop himself and plan for himself!"

As he was talking, Ma Xiao walked in, and Wang Hengyue hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

"I got in touch with Hu Jingyi, I swore allegiance to Hu Dudu, and now I am not Hengshuai's person." Ma Xiao said jokingly.

"The dog said, you can't fly out of Lao Tzu's Five Finger Mountain wherever you run!" Wang Hengyue scolded with a smile, and then said with a straight face: "Liu Cunhou's Fourth Division has been dispatched and is ready to meet Xiong Kewu. This cheeky general, whose judgment of the situation is still good, knows that the revolution will not succeed, so he starts a fight and wants to fight Xiong Kewu! As soon as he leaves Luzhou, your mixed group will immediately take over Luzhou, and say to the outside world that it is to help Liu Houmian. ”

Ma Xiao was a little worried: "If you lose Luzhou, Liu Cunhou will definitely not be happy, will you?"

"No, it won't!" Wang Hengyue blinked his eyes: "You said that if Xiong Kewu fails, who will replace him in the position of being stationed in Yucheng?" ”

"Liu Cunhou!" Ma Xiao suddenly realized.

Jiang Baili smiled: "Heng Shuai is confident." Ming helped the four divisions and secretly captured Luzhou. Although Liu Cunhou lost Luzhou, he gained Yucheng, which seems to be a good deal, and he must be happy. However, when Luzhou falls into the hands of Heng Shuai, it is equivalent to controlling a strategic place, which can threaten Yucheng at any time, and Chengdu is also under the threat of Heng Shuai's artillery! ”

"Good one in Lao Tzu's cannon threat." Wang Hengyue laughed a few times: "In this world, the range of the cannon is the truth!" As many cannons as you have, you will have as much justice! Fuck, Lao Tzu seems to be trying to survive in the cracks, but as long as Lao Tzu has enough soldiers, Chengdu and Yucheng will be Lao Tzu sooner or later! ”

Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Hu Jingyi will definitely be willing to give Luzhou to Heng Shuai, first, Ma Xiao has become his own person, and second, as long as Heng Shuai has any changes, Chengdu and Yucheng can form a flank attack on us." But this is a double-edged sword, why can't we look at Chongqing and Chengdu? ”

"That's what it means!" Wang Hengyue slapped the table hard: "Action!" ”

Liu Cunhou took out all his foundation!

Just as Wang Hengyue said, Liu Cunhou saw very clearly that the so-called "second revolution" would never succeed.

Since you won't succeed, then your chance will come!

"Tell the brothers of the whole division, give Lao Tzu to resist Xiong Kewu in the threshing floor, the reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as the rebels are defeated, all the brothers will be rewarded, those who want silver have silver, and those who want women have women!"

Under Liu Cunhou's order, the threshing floor instantly became the focus of contention between the two sides!

The Sichuan Yuan Army, which had a smooth journey, also encountered the strongest challenge here.

Liu Cunhou's Fourth Division still has very strong strength, with plenty of ammunition and well-trained soldiers. Especially under the stimulation of heavy rewards, the combat effectiveness is also fully stimulated.

Bullets were flying in the air, bombs were exploding everywhere.

The soldiers on both sides gritted their teeth, their eyes red, and their mouths kept muttering curses, and they all regarded each other as enemies.

The threshing floor has become a bloody battlefield!

The Yuan army rushed several times in a row, but under the crazy blows of the Fourth Division, they were defeated and retreated again and again. Every time there was a defeat, there would be bursts of laughter from the position of the Fourth Division, which stimulated the soldiers who were fighting Yuan's army.

"Kong wins!"

"Here!"

Xiong Kewu handed the telescope to his love general: "See where you are?" The dog said, the most fierce fight there, take your battalion, organize a death squad, and rush up to Lao Tzu! ”

"Yes!"

Yang Shukan, the chief of civil affairs, also had an iron face: "Kong wins, wins and wins, I hope your name is not wrong!" ”

Kong Desheng saluted: "Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief, even if I die, I will die on the road of the charge!" ”

Xiong Kewu took the banner with the four big characters "Defend the country and ask for Yuan" and handed it to Kong Desheng: "Go, plant this flag in the enemy's position!" ”

Kong Desheng took the banner and turned around:

"Four battalions, all of them, assemble!"

When all the brothers of the fourth battalion were assembled, Kong Desheng raised the banner:

"My four battalions are the death squad of the whole army, and it is extremely glorious! Officers must charge ahead, not take a step back! Protect the country and ask for Yuan, rush! ”

"Protect the country and ask Yuan, rush!"

The brethren of the black crush rushed forward under the command of that banner.

The heavy machine guns on the position roared, and the dense bullets formed an impermeable fire net, firmly blocking the way to the Yuan army's charge.

Patches of brethren fell, but none of the brethren who followed were willing to stop.

It's a blood-stained path!

"Rush, rush!" Kong Desheng waved the flag in his hand and rushed to the front of the line.

The gunfire intensified, and bombs continued to fly, causing bursts of explosions around the death squads.

Kong Desheng snorted, rushed forward two steps, and then desperately stood firm.

He looked down and saw blood running down his right chest.

Kong Desheng pressed it, his chest, and then suddenly waved the flag: "Protect the country and ask for Yuan, rush!" ”

Here, it has become a death zone. The corpses almost blocked the way of the charge.

The number of death squads is getting smaller and smaller.

"Protect the country and ask for Yuan! Protect the country and ask for Yuan! Kong Desheng's desperate body roared, and he rushed forward desperately.

The blood in his chest kept flowing there, but Kong Desheng completely forgot all about it!

He is a member of the old League, what is the point of dying for the sake of the revolution? The commander-in-chief gave himself the death squad, and that was his own glory!

Most of the brothers of the battalion fell in the way of the charge, but they were getting closer and closer to the enemy's position.

Thirty meters, thirty meters more, and if you rush over again, you will be able to rush into the position!

At this time, Kong Desheng stopped suddenly.

Another string of bullets passed through his body.

Kong Desheng planted the flag on the ground, only in this way could he barely support his body and not fall.

His gaze wandered, and he looked around, and the distance of thirty meters became a nightmare for the brothers.

At such a close distance, they simply became a target for the enemy. Gunshots kept ringing out, and the brothers kept falling. The blood that flowed out has become a small river here

"Defend the country and ask for Yuan, protect the country and ask for Yuan"

Kong Desheng no longer had the strength to shout, he could only weakly shout over and over again, with a voice that he could only hear, shouting and encouraging

I'm dying and I'll never see victory again

He looked ahead, but his blurred eyes grew clear.

He saw the fierce faces of the enemy, and even the muzzles of heavy machine guns leaping.

He could see more clearly that countless tongues of fire were flying towards his body

Kong Desheng just watched as all the bullets sank into his body.

He was still clutching the air flagpole to prevent himself from falling. But slowly, slowly, he slipped little by little.

"Defend the country and ask for Yuan, protect the country and ask for Yuan"

Kong Desheng fell under the banner, he tried to keep his eyes open, looked at the sky gradually turning blood-red, muttered, and then remained motionless.

He died, died in the path of the charge, died under that banner.

His brethren were beside him, and the soldiers, who were still alive and kicking just a moment ago, were all turned into corpses in an instant

Xiong Kewu's hands were trembling, he saw it, he saw everything in the telescope.

A battalion of brethren, a whole battalion of brethren, is gone.

Enemy machine guns are still shouting there, but why does the battlefield sound so quiet?

Xiong Kewu put down the binoculars, and then raised them unwillingly. Xiong Kewu is really unwilling.

In the binoculars, he saw the military flag that had never fallen:

Protect the country and ask for Yuan!

Defend the country and ask for Yuan!!

The remnant sun is like blood, and the cold wind is crying!
