No matter what you say, you cannot lose the authority of the Chairman of Sichuan Province and the Commander-in-Chief of the Sichuan Army.

Liu Xiang heard it funny. A scholar is a scholar after all. It's okay to make plans at ordinary times, but not at this critical moment. Will Chiang Kai-shek give us time to discuss it? Do you still need to ask for Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao's opinions? You said and

If the central government fights, they support it. If you talk about cooperating with the central government, they still support it. Anyway, they can accept reorganization by the central government at any time and turn back the enemy.

It seems that I have to give up my illusions and cooperate with the central government honestly. Since even Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng, and Ma Bufang have come to fight the Jiangxi bandits, why do I still hesitate? As for whether Bald Jiang will deal with him in the future, let's forget about it for now.

However, judging from the way Chiang Kai-shek dealt with Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and Wang Jialie, he probably wouldn't kill them all. As long as his direct troops are there, Chiang Kai-shek can't do anything to him.

If you want to do it, do it beautifully! After making up his mind, Liu Xiang directly ordered to inform Xian Ying to stop negotiating with the Jiangxi bandits, and quickly and secretly returned to Mianyang to assist the garrison in defending. Then he ordered to send a report to Nanjing, supporting the Chairman's policy of suppressing bandits, and willing to take office

The deputy commander-in-chief of the Suppression of Bandits supervised and led the Sichuan Army to cooperate with the Central Army to encircle and suppress the Jiangxi bandits. He welcomed the Chairman to inspect Sichuan's defense and people's livelihood at his convenience. He ordered Pan Wenhua to open the door to southern Sichuan and allow the Central Army to enter Sichuan to fight. The main force of the South Route Army quickly assembled and prepared

Cooperate with the Central Army to pursue the Gan bandits. Order all units of the North Route Army to be more vigilant to prevent Xu Xiang's front from attacking the Gan bandits. When Hu Zong's southern and Northeastern armies arrive at the attack position, encircle Xu Xiang's front. Order the Chongqing garrison to mobilize immediately to prepare to cooperate with the South Route Army and the Gan bandits.

Xue Yue's troops counterattacked Chengdu and ordered Liu Wenhui's troops to dispatch to contain the Gan bandits so that they could not retreat calmly.

After the order was given, Liu Xiang felt relaxed and took Fu Chang to make tea and set up the Dragon Gate Formation.

Fu Chang hesitated a little and said, "Fucheng, you made a big bet. If you had known about this, why did you do it in the first place?"

Liu Xiang took a sip of tea and smiled: "This moment, that moment!"

Fu Chang sighed: "This western Sichuan Bazi is going to suffer another disaster!"

Liu Xiang was speechless.

After a moment of silence, Liu Xiang asked Fu Chang: "Brother, why do you think this old Chiang Kai-shek suddenly became so tough?"

Fu Chang looked at Liu Xiang in surprise: "You didn't listen to the radio? I thought you knew. That's right. According to the Central News Agency, Dai Li sent people to kill Liu Yimin, commander of the Seventh Red Army Corps of the Red Army, in Chengdu yesterday morning. That's right.

Liu Yimin, who led troops to attack Gulin, Xuyong, Yibin, Leshan, and Chengdu. Now, not only Chairman Chiang became more energetic, but also Zhang Xueliang. It turned out that Zhang Xueliang refused to come to Sichuan to suppress bandits. What happened after receiving this news?

He agreed to come without saying anything. Those who were frightened by Liu Yimin became even more enthusiastic, especially He Jian from Hunan. Chairman Chiang’s battle plan revealed by He Guoguang did not allow him to send troops. As a result, it was said on the radio this morning that He Jian

Jian resolutely supports the Chairman's campaign to suppress bandits in Sichuan and plans to send two divisions to participate in the war, commanded by Liu Jianxu, who will be dispatched soon."

Liu Xiang said "Ah" and scratched his head: "So that's the reason! I didn't expect that this Dai Li is really fucking clever. You have to be careful about this person in the future."

After thinking for a while, Liu Xiang said again: "Brother Zhen, do you think these people are afraid of Liu Yimin, or are they afraid of Dai Li?"

Fu Chang sipped his tea and said slowly: "Maybe it's both!"

Liu Xiang smiled: "I said these people are all melon babies. Who can guarantee that Liu Yimin will definitely die? What if he is rescued? What if he is killed by a substitute? Besides, there are people among the Gan bandits who can fight.

There are many, not to mention Mao Zedong, Lin Biao, Peng Dehuai, Liu Bocheng, which one is more fuel-efficient? Chairman Chiang is too arrogant, maybe he suffered a big loss and still doesn’t know how he suffered the bricks?"

Liu Xiang took another sip of tea and said: "As for Dai Li's assassination method, although it can have miraculous effects, it is not something that a leader of a country should use. This old Chiang Kai-shek has lost his fucking head. He will do it a few more times."

, I’m afraid there will be war again.”

Fu Chang stopped talking, and the room became silent for a while.

In the headquarters of Xue Yue in Renhuai, Guizhou, the chief of staff was excitedly reading the news from the Central News Agency transcribed by the radio station. The title was "The chairman handled it properly and the giant bandit Liu Yimin died." The chief of staff shook his head and read: "Yesterday afternoon, the national defense

The Ministry of National Defense held a press conference in Nanjing to report the great success of our army in suppressing bandits in Sichuan. According to the Ministry of National Defense, Liu Yimin, a bandit, served successively as the commander of the 18th Regiment of the 3rd Red Bandit Army, the division commander of the Red Bandit Central Guard Division, and the commander of the 7th Red Bandit Army.

The bandits followed the main force of the red bandits and fled to Hunan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. They were cunning in nature and committed many evil deeds. They once ambushed the national army in the passage area of ​​Hunan and ambushed the national army in Zhenyuan, Guizhou, causing harm to the soldiers of the national army. After the bandits fled into Sichuan, they used cocks and dogs to steal.

, a gentleman would not do anything, and successively attacked Gulin, Xuyong, Yibin, Leshan, Meishan, Pengxian, Shuangliu, and Chengdu, causing our people to suffer. In order to rectify discipline and strictly enforce national laws, Chairman Chiang offered a reward of one million yuan

The huge sum of money encouraged the soldiers and civilians to bravely kill the thieves and take their heads. Yesterday morning, with the cooperation of the Chengdu people, our army warriors tracked the traces of the Liu bandits and one of the people, and chased them to the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, and finally killed the Liu bandits and one of the people. I killed them.

Liu Bandit's sharpshooting warrior was counterattacked by Liu Bandit before his death, and he was honored as a benevolent man. Now the Red Bandits are so panicked that they have implemented martial law in Chengdu and hunted down revolutionary patriots. The Ministry of National Defense stated that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has mobilized millions

The army enters Sichuan to suppress the bandits, and Chengdu is expected to recover quickly."

After the chief of staff finished reading, Xue Yue grabbed the telegram and read it again, laughing loudly: "What a great Dai Yunong, well done! When we meet again, I have to have a big drink with you." He turned around and said to her again.

The chief of staff said: "Today's lunch, the whole army will drink wine. Tell the brothers that the devil Liu Yimin has been killed, so everyone should not be afraid. Eat well, pack up, and we will go into Sichuan to eliminate the Zhu Maohong bandits."

After saying that, Xue Yue suddenly felt very boring and said to himself: "Liu Yimin, why did you die? I haven't avenged Qingxi Town and Yangping Town yet, so you are not allowed to die. Who will die for Dai Li?"

Did you ask me to do this? I want to defeat him openly and openly. Who asked you to intervene and do this? It doesn't matter if you kill him. When future generations talk about it, I will always become Liu Yimin's.

Have my men been defeated? It’s so damn troublesome.”

The chief of staff listened to Xue Yue's irrelevant words and laughed in his heart: This commander also wants to build an archway again and wants to be a bitch. He is eager for Liu Yimin's death. He is also afraid that if Liu Yimin dies and there is no chance to make money, others will

He is said to be Liu Yimin's defeated general. It seems that the so-called famous general's demeanor is nothing more than this.

Xue Yue had vented enough, and ordered the chief of staff to urge Tang Enbo and other follow-up troops to take action, asking them to catch up quickly, as the troops would soon enter Sichuan.

The chief of staff said: "Liu Xiang has not yet expressed his position to the central government, but the Sichuan army on the other side is still targeting us with its guns? Isn't it too early to say that we will enter Sichuan?"

Xue Yuebu said patiently: "Go if I tell you to go. What are you talking about? As soon as the follow-up troops arrive, the Sichuan army will naturally give way. If he dares not to give way, he will fire artillery. If Liu Xiang doesn't know what he is doing, I will directly

Attack Chengdu and capture him as a guard for the Chairman and his wife. If he dares to fight with the Chairman, I think he is tired of living."

The chief of staff hurriedly went to send the report. As he walked, he thought, it's damn magical. Killing Liu Yimin can make the commander as excited as a bull in heat. He will go up against anyone he catches. It seems that the commander is determined to kill him immediately.

Great job!

Xue Yue really guessed it right, and soon the telegrams from Liu Xiang and Pan Wenhua arrived.

Liu Xiang's telegram said that Brother Boling had worked hard for coming from afar, and that Fucheng had not treated him well and neglected him. After the army entered Sichuan, he would apologize to Brother Boling in person. The soldiers and people of Sichuan looked forward to the Central Army entering Sichuan to suppress the bandits, just like they look forward to rain in a drought.

The two armies united sincerely and fought side by side to eliminate the banditry as soon as possible and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. In short, Liu Xiang's attitude was a 180-degree turn, which completely explained the meaning of being arrogant at first and respectful later.

Pan Wenhua's telegram was in military style, very simple: "I have been ordered to contact Commander-in-Chief Xue that our troops will evacuate the ferry along the Chishui River at 2 noon today and gather in Luzhou to attack Chengdu. Please take over the defense of the Chishui River ferry along the

We will attack and advance along the Gulin, Xuyong, Yibin, Leshan, and Chengdu routes. We will send a team of personnel to greet you at the Chishui River Ferry and serve as liaison officers between our department and your department. Please contact our department in a timely manner to exchange information."

After reading the telegram, Xue Yue immediately ordered the 13th Division to contact the Sichuan Army defenders at the ferry to build a pontoon bridge. Cross the river to control the ferry and Gulin. The main force will have dinner in advance and rush to the ferry in the afternoon to cross the river. The follow-up troops must move forward quickly to shorten the march distance.

Liu Wenhui, who was guarding Ya'an, was surprised and happy today. What was surprising was that the Red Army Corps, which had been watching eagerly nearby, suddenly sent someone to contact him. What was happy was that the visitor proposed to hand over the defense of Leshan to him. The conditions were a certain amount of military spending and a certain amount of ammunition.

Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang are uncles and nephews, and they received Liu Xiang's care and help many times before they made their fortune. But once their wings are hardened, they will inevitably fight each other. Liu Wenhui's cousin Liu Wencai even hired a group of thugs to sneak into Liu Xiang's Chongqing

The headquarters of the 21st Army was stationed at the headquarters of the 21st Army in an attempt to assassinate his nephew. Therefore, although Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui had both read books and knew about etiquette, justice and integrity, they would risk their lives to fight for the territory. How could they talk about etiquette, justice, integrity and uncle love?

Woolen cloth?

Today's Liu Wenhui is no longer the chairman of Sichuan Province who had hundreds of thousands of troops. He is a fallen phoenix, huddled in Ya'an with more than 20,000 defeated soldiers, for fear that the Red Army will suddenly attack him.

Liu Wenhui was overjoyed when he saw the Red Army proposing such favorable terms. Leshan was originally controlled by him, but was taken by Liu Xiang after the defeat. Now the Red Army was willing to give it up, and it was not a sin. They immediately agreed to the deal and gave them some extra ammunition.

.

In fact, Liu Wenhui had already received orders from Liu Xiang and graduated from Baoding Military Academy. Having experienced the Sichuan Civil War, he had already seen that the Central Army was about to invade Sichuan in large numbers and the Red Army was about to retreat. At this time, the Leshan area was a vacuum zone. As long as he occupied it, he would immediately

You can electrify the whole country and say that you are the first to regain key areas and gain some political capital. Besides, as long as you occupy Leshan, tax revenue and soldiers can be solved. Even if the Central Army comes, you cannot just let yourself go, let alone

Let’s talk about Liu Xiang. As for chasing the Red Army, I have already recovered Leshan, so it’s not considered chasing the Red Army. Therefore, Liu Wenhui, who was calculated, took action, took out the money and ammunition without hesitation, and led the troops to recover Leshan. As for

Liu Wenhui wanted to bring up the issue of the Red Army's seizure of money in his mansion in Chengdu. As long as we have Leshan and guard the flood and drought docks, will we still be short of money?

Xian Ying, who received Liu Xiang's order, knew that Liu Xiang had made up his mind to cooperate with the Central Army in the attack, so he resorted to a tactic and asked a staff officer who followed him to wear his clothes and pretend that he was reading a newspaper in his room.

After resting, he put on his chef's clothes and slipped out of the back door of his residence. Taking advantage of his familiarity with Chengdu's geography, he walked through the streets and hid in an old friend's house. He did not go back to Mianyang directly because he knew that,

The result would be to be taken back as a prisoner.

When Liu Shaoqi, who was in charge of the negotiations, sent someone to invite Xian Ying, he discovered that this guy had already fled.

Liu Shaoqi knew what Xian Ying's escape meant, so he did not dare to neglect and immediately reported it to the central government.

After receiving the report, Mao Zedong felt regretful. If he had followed the countermeasures of occupying Chengdu discussed with Liu Yimin in Zunyi from the beginning, Liu Xiang would have sent the money and arms that he should have given. There was no way, it was a mistake.

, it is useless to capture Xian Ying now. Liu Xiang is determined to deal with the Red Army together with the Central Army. Fortunately, the First Army Corps got some arms from Liu Wenhui, which is better than nothing.

It seems that Chiang Kai-shek really entered Sichuan in a big way. I really didn’t expect that Liu Yimin’s assassination would cause such a big chain reaction. Maybe it was true what Liu Yimin said. Chiang Kai-shek was surrounded by millions of troops this time and was determined to wipe out the Red Army in the Chengdu Plain.

.

Mao Zedong no longer hesitated and ordered Liu Bocheng to quickly end the work of the city government and return to the staff headquarters to take charge of the work. He strictly ordered the legions to quickly and secretly march to Deyang. The Military Commission column immediately packed up and advanced to Deyang. The troops directly under the Chengdu Handover Seventh Corps and the 13th Division stayed behind.

.

As a result, the Red Army headquarters and several main army groups were operating at high speed and were preparing to set off.

In the garrison headquarters, Cai Zhong was receiving reporter Jingjing from "Xinxin News".

Jingjing’s interview had only one topic, and that was whether the news released by the Central News Agency that General Liu Yimin had been assassinated was true.

Cai Zhong nodded.

Jingjing asked: "Director Cai, how is General Liu's injury? Has he been killed?"

Cai Zhong followed Liu Yimin's instructions not to reveal his awakening and said he had no comment.

Jingjing's face was full of anxiety: "Director Cai, it has been spread on the streets of Chengdu that yesterday's martial law was due to the assassination of General Liu. Citizens and readers are very concerned. I request to see General Liu so that he can report his situation in time.

.”

Cai Zhong shook his head: "That's impossible!"

Jingjing became more and more anxious: "Director Cai, does your refusal mean that General Liu Yimin has been killed?"

Cai Zhong saw that this girl was really concerned and wanted to tell her that Liu Yimin had woken up, but he knew the importance of confidentiality. Since the regiment commander emphasized on blocking the news, he must be brewing a major battle plan. Therefore, Cai Zhong kept a straight face.

Said: "Sorry, reporter Jingjing, thank you for your propaganda reports on the Red Army for so many days, but I have no comment on the matter involving the assassination of Comrade Liu Yimin. I hope you will not cover this matter again."

What Cai Zhong didn't expect was that the female reporter actually started crying, and she cried heartbreakingly. Cai Zhong wondered for a while whether the regiment commander was not so charming. This female reporter did look very beautiful and tall.
