Eighty troops sent to Sichuan Four
"Order General Xia Xicang to chase with all his might, don't let Yuan Zuming go, order General Yu Peili to launch a general attack on Xishan, order General Tang Zimo to go straight into Qijiang County, and send a telegram to Wei Lihuang to order him to go straight to Yipin Township south of Yucheng, and strive to block Yuan Zuming." After Luo Yaoguo, who was commanding the battle in Dongxi Town, received the battle report from the front line, he immediately changed the battle plan and changed the rout battle to a war of annihilation.
"Haojun." After Luo Yaoguo gave the order, he looked back at Wang Zijiu, who was standing beside him like a statue, smiled and asked, "Do you know why I changed my plan?" ”
"Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, I originally thought Yuan Zuming was a monkey, but now I found out that he was just a chicken." Wang Zizi replied expressionlessly.
"Hehe, I don't know if Yuan Zuming is too weak or those Guangxi soldiers are too violent." Luo Yaoguo, who had just won a battle, was now full of light. "Haojun, after the end of this Sichuan battle, find a way to help you get a regiment, how many people did you contact in the first phase of Huangpu? Can you manage a regiment? ”
"The vocational department has contacted several students from the northwest, including Tang Sitong, Zhao Boran, Liu Zhongyan, Mu Dingcheng, Tian Yi'an, Mao Huanbin, Zhang Derong, Yan Peilin, Li Shudong, Du Yuchang, Du Yuxin, Liang Hongjun, a total of 12 people." Luo Yaoguo once gave Wang Zizheng an activity fund to contact his classmates, and Wang Zizheng has contacted some people who are not very eye-catching in the military academy in the past few months. After all, his future contact with the Kuomintang can only be carried out in secret, and on the surface, he still has to maintain the appearance of reading power, so he can't find a bunch of stars in military schools.
Luo Yaoguo listened to Wang Zizhi's list and found that there was no historical celebrity on it. "Hehe, two of the three brothers of the Du family have now belonged to you, so let's let Du Yuming do the same with you?" Although Luo Yaoguo was discussing with Wang Zijiu on the surface, in fact, this was an order. Du Yuming is a student who can be trusted, of course, in addition, Luo Yaoguo did not find that he has too many advantages.
"It's great to have Du Guangting join us, the students originally wanted to invite him to join." Wang Zijiu did not lie, but Du Yuming was too well-behaved and thought that he should not join a small group, which would violate the party discipline of the Kuomintang.
"Are the people of your royal family involved?" Luo Yaoguo asked again intentionally or unintentionally.
"My brother Wang Zhizhi and Wang Baoshan will participate." Wang Zijiu also did not hide it, all the armies in the northwest are all family families, and it is normal for families to participate.
Luo Yaoguo patted Wang Zijiu's shoulder and smiled: "Okay, your business will be here first." Let's go pack up, let's get ready to enter Chongqing. ”
The battle of Qijiang played a one-sided lead, Yuan Zuming's Qian's army, known as a good fighter, was crushed at a touch, and then was chased all the way by the four divisions of the National Revolutionary Army to Yipin Township, south of Yucheng, and was intercepted by Wei Lihuang's 10th Division, and finally the whole army of more than 30,000 people, except for Yuan Zuming and Peng Hanzhang, who fought bloodily under the protection of the guards, were basically annihilated. As soon as the results of the Battle of Qijiang came out, the balance of strength between the Kuomintang and the direct Beiyang in Sichuan immediately changed. Lai Xinhui, Lu Chao, and Zhou Xicheng, who belonged to Xiong Kewu's faction in the last battle against thieves, immediately telegraphed to join the Kuomintang and support Xiong Kewu's rule in Sichuan. Liu Xiang, who was hiding in his hometown of Ren'an to guard filial piety, also ordered the troops stationed in Yucheng not to clash with the National Revolutionary Army, and sent Zhang Sike to Yucheng immediately to negotiate with Xiong Kewu to surrender, and at the same time, Liu Xiang's uncle Liu Wenhui also sent his fifth brother Liu Wencai to meet Xiong Kewu to discuss the defection. There is also Liu Chengxun stationed in southwest Sichuan, who was also the head of Xiong Kewu's side, and at this time he also secretly sent someone to contact Xiong Kewu to discuss the defection, but his territory is near Chengdu, right under Yang Sen's nose, so he can't announce it for the time being.
The reactions of the Sichuan warlords of the Beiyang family also varied, first of all, Yang Sen, who supervised the military affairs of Sichuan, announced that he would form an anti-bear alliance again, and immediately invited the heroes of Shuzhong to participate. Deng Xihou, the governor of Sichuan in Beiyang and known as the crystal monkey, announced that he had decided to resign as governor of Sichuan due to physical inconvenience, and then retracted to Beichuan to watch the wind. Another Sichuan superintendent, Tian Songyao, nicknamed Tian Donggua, was electrified to take up the post of Tun Reclamation Supervisor in northwest Sichuan and hid back in Baoning, his hometown, and also took a wait-and-see approach. Only Liu Cunhou, who has always followed the Beiyang political axe, announced his support for Yang Sen.
On July 19, 1924, Luo Yaoguo ordered the 26th Division to stay in Qijiang to welcome Xiong Kewu into Sichuan, and then led the 4th Division into Yucheng, the largest commercial city in Sichuan. At this time, Zhou Xicheng's division, which was originally stationed in Yucheng, had already defected and was appointed as the second division of the Sichuan Army and transferred to Jiangjin to garrison, while Yucheng was jointly garrisoned by the National Revolutionary Army and Liu Xiang's four water injection divisions.
According to the latest regulations of the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang on the National Revolutionary Army during this time and space, the National Revolutionary Army is not to be issued indiscriminately, and only the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang directly under the National Revolutionary Army will hang the National Revolutionary Army signboard, and once this signboard is hung up, it must be reorganized, and the financial, personnel, logistical supply, and military mobilization powers of the troops will all be transferred to the General Staff Headquarters and the War Department. Therefore, the armies that were unwilling to accept the reorganization but were willing to defect to the Kuomintang were put up with the sign of local troops. Therefore, Lu Chao's troops hung the sign of the First Division of the Sichuan Army, and Zhou Xicheng, which originally belonged to the Guizhou Army, hung the signboard of the Second Division of the Sichuan Army, and the two divisions were combined into the First Army of the Sichuan Army, and the commander was Shi Qingyang, a veteran of the Kuomintang in Sichuan, and Lai Xinhui, another Sichuan warlord who defected to the Kuomintang, was directly recommended by Xiong Kewu as the commander of the Second Army of the Sichuan Army because of his large number of troops. In addition, the number one general under Xiong Kewu, the Kuomintang veteran Dan Maoxin, led the [***] 28th Division and Xiong Kewu into Sichuan together, and was immediately appointed by the Military Committee as the commander of the 10th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, under the jurisdiction of the 26th, 27th, and 28th divisions, and the commander of the 28th Division also appointed Chiang Kai-shek's henchman Zhu Shaoliang.
The 10th Division, 12th Division, 13th Division, and 5th Artillery Regiment were temporarily assigned to the [***] Seventh Army Luo Yaoguo as the commander. During this time and space, the permanent establishment of the National Revolutionary Army was up to the division level, and the establishment of the army level was set up temporarily and non-permanent according to operational needs, and the purpose of this was also to strengthen control over the troops.
On July 25, 1924, after a series of insider trading, Liu Xiang was given the Sichuan Frontier Supervision Office and the commander of the Third Army of the Sichuan Army, and Liu Wenhui was the commander of the Fourth Army of the Sichuan Army. On July 27, Liu Chengxun, who occupied southwestern Sichuan, also accepted Xiong Kewu's announcement that the Fifth Army of the Sichuan Army would return to the Kuomintang banner, and the Kuomintang's front in Sichuan was now clear.
At the same time that the Kuomintang seized the time to dig into the corners, Wu Peifu's forces in Sichuan also completed the integration, and Luo Wu's men in Sichuan, headed by Yang Sen, integrated Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Liu Cunhou, plus the 20 battalions of Kong Fanjin, the envoy of Longnan Town, who aided the Sichuan army, announced the formation of an alliance to fight bears, and prepared to sing against Xiong Kewu......
"Haojun, this Hechuan will be garrisoned for you for the time being." Luo Yaoguo basically did not participate in the chaotic Sichuan warlord fair, but was busy with his other northwest plan. "What kind of river defense headquarters is there in Hechuan, it is Deng Xihou's people, I have sent Xia Wei to take it out, and then appoint you as the guard of Hechuan Town, and give you another thousand prisoners, dozens of junior officers, and five hundred Hanyang Zhuang, you will develop it in Hechuan first." This is a test for Wang Zijiu, to see if he has the ability to survive and develop in the chaotic Sichuan, if he can't get along in Sichuan, then don't go to the northwest to die.
"Please rest assured that when the teacher returns to Sichuan, the students will definitely pull out a well-trained and well-equipped mixed brigade." Wang Zijiu's words were quite confident.
"Oh, you can see I'm leaving." Luo Yaoguo nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, your vision of the overall situation is still good, but you have no experience in directly leading troops to fight, and Sichuan may be chaotic in the coming year, seize the opportunity to practice." Remember, you are now a warlord, not a revolutionary army, so survival comes first, it doesn't matter if you lose the battle, but don't let people die. ”
Luo Yaoguo's mission in Sichuan has indeed been accomplished. The Kuomintang killed three birds with one stone when it entered Sichuan this time. First, out of the alliance with GCD, he made a gesture of encircling Wei to save Zhao and reduce the pressure on northern Shaanxi. Second, paralyzing Luo Wu, making him mistakenly believe that the main force of the Kuomintang was fighting in Sichuan, and he was relieved to boldly launch a war against Zhejiang and Lu. Third, it is necessary to lay a certain foundation in Sichuan and prepare for the complete pacification of Sichuan in the coming year. The situation in Sichuan during the Republic of China was extremely complicated, and it was unrealistic to sort it out in a short period of time. Therefore, the plan of the military committee was to slowly clean up the Sichuan group after seizing the two lakes and the southeastern region.
