Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The situation suddenly reversed, Liu Zhenhuan and the others stood still, unable to figure out what happened.

Liu Zhenhuan took a closer look at the people who saved him. They were not monsters at all, but soldiers disguised with bark and leaves.Yes, they are soldiers. The weapons in their hands are all made in Hanyang.

However, these benefactors didn't care about them at all, but were busy interrogating the captured people, which embarrassed Liu Zhenhuan, who had been the commander of Yuan Jun in Guangxi.

After a while, a mid-sized man walked over, dressed in exactly the same clothes as the soldiers, and his military rank couldn't be discerned: "Who are you guys?"

Liu Zhenhuan replied cautiously: "We are in business, and we were hunted down here by these bandits. Fortunately, you saved us."

The man's eyes rolled: "Just talk about the ball, you are a businessman who can get such a good shell gun. I, Li Dachao, did not distribute such a thing until the company commander. It seems that you are not good people. It is a waste of me." And saved you, Guo Mengzi, Wang Chenhao!"

"To" Hearing Company Commander Li's call, a tower-like man over 1.8 meters tall ran over in a disguised stride, "Commander Li, what's the matter?"

"Shoot them down," Li Dachao ordered easily.

As soon as they heard that they were going to shoot, Liu Zhenhuan's four remaining guards immediately raised their guns nervously.At this time, a figure suddenly entered between the four of them, and in the blink of an eye, the guards realized that they had lost all their guns.

Liu Zhenhuan was very surprised to see that this extremely agile man was actually a child of fifteen or sixteen years old.

This team is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I don't know whose team it is.Liu Zhenhuan hastily cupped his hands politely and said, "May I ask Company Commander Li, which family are you from?"

Li Dachao didn't answer immediately, but reprimanded: "Wang Chenhao, show that you are capable, right? What tricks are you doing? If the gun goes off, you will have fun. Don't think that your master said that you are copper-skinned and iron-framed. It’s time to finish playing like a bullet, so hurry up and put it away.”

The kid named Wang Chenhao angrily threw four guns to Guo Meng, who was full of tiger spirit, and walked away.

Li Dachao took the gun from Liu Zhenhuan's hand and replied with a smile: "Ah, brother, we are soldiers of Commander Wang of the Xiangxi garrison. You haven't told us yet, where are you from?"

"Xiangxi garrison team?" Liu Zhenhuan's heart beat involuntarily. He had only been running for three days, and he had lost his way seven or eight times. He must have already reached the territory of Hunan.

Forget it, the head of the Xiangxi garrison has heard of it himself, and not long ago he sent a telegram to wipe out the Changde army who supported Yuan Shikai.Although I have never heard that Mr. Sun Yat-sen appointed this Marshal Wang as the commander of Yuan Jun, but since he is not with Yuan Shikai, he must be with him.

There was nothing left to hesitate, Liu Zhenhuan tidied up his clothes, and said softly: "Please trouble Li Lianchang for the introduction, and I am Liu Zhenhuan, Commander of the Yuan Army in Guangxi."

"Commander?" Li Dachao's mouth was so open that he could stuff an egg into it: "It's so depressing, is it Commander?"

The young Liu Zhenhuan blushed immediately. . .

At the forward headquarters, Liu Zhenhuan saw Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them realized that they were all from the same hometown (Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had already known each other for a long time.) Among them, Liu Zhenhuan and Li Zongren came from the closest hometowns, one was in Maping and the other was in Guilin; Bai Chongxi was from Lingui.

Now that the relationship has been established, Liu Zhenhuan naturally put forward unceremoniously: I hope that the brothers in the Xiangxi garrison can borrow three thousand troops to attack Shen Hongying, who betrayed the revolution, for the sake of begging Comrade Yuan.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi exchanged a look, and told Liu Zhenhuan directly in Guangxi dialect that it was impossible.

The reason is also very simple. Bai Chongxi complained: "In this valley in Guangxi, our telegraph machine can't communicate with my commander at all."

Liu Zhenhuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, borrowing troops was just an excuse, Liu Zhenhuan didn't give any hope at all.Think about it, people don't have any relationship with you, why should they lend you soldiers?This soldier is used for fighting. If it is worn out, who will count it?

But just now, the fellow from Guangxi told me clearly that he is still in Guangxi.

No matter how stupid Liu Zhenhuan was, he understood that these revolutionary comrades from Xiangxi would not appear in Guangxi for no reason.Although it is to ask for Yuan now, who dares to say that it is not here to grab the territory.

Hehe, Liu Zhenhuan suddenly figured out something: I have reached this level, and I don’t care about the territory. It is the right solution to take revenge with soldiers. It would be even better if I could rescue my uncle and teacher Liu Guxiang.As for power and position, there is no need to think about it now.

Now that he had figured this out, Liu Zhenhuan's brain immediately became active. He cupped his hands and said, "My two fellow villagers, Liu Zhenhuan, a native of Maping, Liuzhou, was originally the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army in Guangxi. It was plotted by the rebel general Shen Hongying yesterday. I have lost everything and become a bereaved dog. There is nothing to say, just like asking the two revolutionary comrades to send troops quickly to defeat the rebels and rescue my family uncle. No matter what the result is? Liu and his troops People and horses will listen to the effect before the army."

Li Zongren was about to decline politely, but Bai Chongxi stepped on it under the table.The words turned into: "Brother Zhenhuan, this matter is easy to discuss, why don't you go take a bath and rest for a while?"

Liu Zhenhuan nodded and got up, and was about to leave when he turned around suddenly and said, "There is another man named Tao Er who is chasing me. If possible, I hope your army will take it down quickly, so as not to leak the news."

After speaking, Liu Zhenhuan left the forward headquarters under the leadership of the adjutant.

Before Li Zongren could say anything, Bai Chongxi suddenly shouted: "Come here, let Li Dachao lead the reconnaissance company to go out and arrest a group of suspicious elements who are active around here, and they will live."

After finishing speaking, Bai Chongxi expressed his thoughts to Li Zongren: "Brother Delin, this Liu Zhenhuan is an opportunity right now. But now we are in a mountain valley in Guangxi, and the commander-in-chief and Mr. Xu cannot be contacted by radio. But this battlefield is an opportunity that cannot be missed, and it will never come back. I think we may need to be decisive on our own."

Li Zongren immediately understood Bai Chongxi's thoughts. He hesitated and said, "Brother Jiansheng, are you going to do something different from the original plan? You came to Changde last month. Do you still remember when you were Yang?" What does the Chief of Staff look like? Let's do it again, just in case..."

Bai Chongxi immediately interrupted Li Zongren's words: "Brother, there is nothing in case, and you will not accept the fate of the emperor outside. Besides, brother, think about it, you are 22 years old this year, and I am only 20 years old this year. I became a major general at such a young age. Brigadier, there are some unconvinced people under our command. The Changde battle is said to be fought by us, but in many people's eyes, He Jian and his gang from the Military Intelligence Department are the first to do it, and we are just relying on It's just a plan to catch fish. If we can't make great contributions in this operation in northern Guangxi, how will we Guangxi people survive in Xiangxi in the future? The brother of the Fuxing Society in the military academy should know, it must be the commander's intention, but So far, no one has contacted us. Several battalion and company platoon leaders under me have joined this organization, so we have to work hard!"

This is also a problem that has plagued Li Zongren and others for a long time. Although Dashuai Wang treats himself and others well, they are from Guangxi after all, and the Xiangxi Group, which is dominated by people from Hunan, is an outsider.And they are also outsiders, Xu Yuanquan and Wan Yaohuang are much better.Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the relationship between the people in the two lakes and the people in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas has been very general.The degree of mutual recognition between Hunan people and Hubei people is definitely much higher than that of Cantonese and Guangxi people, so Bai Chongxi's words are definitely not unfounded.

Li Zongren's heart was moved. According to the command of the commander before departure, although there were two major generals, Li Zongren was the leader and Bai Chongxi was the deputy. Therefore, Li Zongren had to make the final decision.

Li Zongren turned his head and asked Bai Chongxi: "Jiansheng, tell me, what should we do?"

As soon as Bai Chongxi heard that his eldest brother accepted it, he immediately smiled and said, "At the moment, my younger brother has a bold idea..."

Chapter 135 Outsmarting Northern Guangxi ([-])

After hearing Bai Chongxi's plan, Li Zongren was stunned for a long time before uttering a sentence: "Jiansheng, when it comes to fighting with soldiers, Brother Yu is not as good as you, so just do as you say."

Bai Chongxi smiled leisurely: "Adjutant, when Li Dachao and the others come back, invite the guests from just now."

When Li Zongren heard this, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Jiansheng, I noticed something last time, but I was very busy, so I didn't ask you."

Bai Chongxi chuckled: "Brother must be asking about my reconnaissance company, right?"

Li Zongren nodded, and Bai Chongxi said in a deep voice: "The commander personally went to my second mountain brigade to train. At first, I didn't quite understand why these soldiers were asked to smear black mud on their faces and batch leaves and bark. Later, as soon as they entered the mountain forest , I found out that it is very effective, I can't find these people at all. Brother, let me tell you something, these scouts are all top picks from the whole army, and all of them are good at capturing and fighting, and their kung fu is still great. The boxer next to Shuai called Long Tingjiu called one by one. By the way, one named Wang Chenhao and one named Guo Meng were sent by the master himself. It is said that they are the closed disciples of Master Long. I saw it with my own eyes. Now, with the skills of these two people, three or five people can take care of them casually."

Li Zongren quickly raised his hand: "Stop, stop, just blow it up, isn't it just a reconnaissance company? The reconnaissance company of our mountain first brigade was also praised by the commander..."

Just as he was talking, the adjutant came in and reported: "Report to Brigadier Commander Bai, Li Dachao and the others have returned, arrested more than 20 people, and are interrogating them."

Bai Chongxi recalled for a while and said: "Go and ask, if there is someone named Tao Er, bring it to me. Send someone to invite Mr. Liu, the guest just now..."

After washing, Liu Zhenhuan changed into the new blue-gray military uniform of the Xiangxi garrison. Although he felt a little weird about this style, he still thought the clothes were top-notch in terms of workmanship and style.

Stepping into the small thatched hut where the advance headquarters is located, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi looked at themselves with smiles, Li Zongren took the lead and said: "Commander Liu, everyone is a fellow, and they speak more directly, or you don't want to be a Guangxi commander Yuan Jun , just play for Marshal Wang just like us.”

Liu Zhenhuan also thought about this problem just now, now the situation is stronger than people, and the shedding phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken.He nodded and replied: "As long as we can avenge Shen Hongying, that dog thief, Zhenhuan will ask Brother De Lin to introduce him to Marshal Wang."

Li Zongren laughed honestly, patted Liu Zhenhuan on the shoulder and said: "Come on, our classmate Bai Jiansheng has a wonderful chess game. Taking Liuzhou is like picking something out of a pocket. We just need your cooperation, Brother Liu."

Liu Zhenhuan looked at the confident Bai Chongxi with some confusion: "What a wonderful move, Brother Bai, come quickly, my uncle is also in doubt about his life and death, Zhenhuan is very anxious!"

Bai Chongxi coughed twice on purpose: "This plan is also simple. Liuzhou is a thousand-year-old city with tall walls and water changes on three sides. This location, as long as you bite your teeth, it is not difficult to defend until the reactionary governor Lu Rongting who rebels against Yuan Ni comes to reinforce him. Moreover, Brother Liu’s uncle is also among them. What can be outsmarted cannot be attacked by force."

Liu Zhenhuan pondered for a while: "Brother Delin and Brother Jiansheng don't know something. This thief Shen is a bandit, treacherous and cunning, and cautious. I'm afraid it's very difficult to succeed in a normal sneak attack, I don't know..."

"Hey, what kind of attack is stealing? If it's really a sneak attack, it's not considered outsmart." Bai Chongxi waved his hands proudly and continued: "Didn't he send this Lan Ba ​​and Tao Er to hunt and kill Brother Liu? Now we Just let the person who chased you escort you back, open the city gate in the dark, the army rushes in, and then occupies every key point. Just relying on the quantity and quality of those bandit soldiers. What can I do? So we asked Brother Liu to perform bitter tricks, which is somewhat risky; secondly, to draw out the topographical map of Liuzhou, otherwise it would be bad for my people to rush out and get blind."

Liu Zhenhuan shook his head and said: "Of course there is no problem. If it wasn't for your army's help, I, Liu Zhenhuan, would have died once. How difficult is it to act as a prisoner? But isn't Lan Ba ​​already beaten to death by the company commander Li Dachao of your army?" Is it? Tao Er is a gangster, and he doesn't know where he is now?"

Bai Chongxi shook his hand and said: "It's okay, that Tao Er and his gang have just been caught by us, and I will ask my brothers to give him a good meal later. If I promise some benefits, he will take the initiative to cooperate with us to perform this play well." .”

Liu Zhenhuan felt that this matter was reliable, and just nodded, he saw Li Dachao coming in excitedly with his head in his hands, and shouted as he walked: "Brigade Commander, I found the Tao Er you want, this kid is dishonest!" , I cut off his head, do you like it?"
