Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Although the tragic Huang Xuchu worked hard, God seemed to want to give him the tragedy of his life all at once.Huang Xuchu, who managed to break out of the encirclement with great difficulty, unexpectedly led more than 200 people from his regiment into the position of the 302nd Regiment, and was naturally disarmed by the 302nd Regiment.Huang Xuchu tossed and tossed for a long time, but he was still a prisoner. He and Tao Jun looked at each other, and honestly stopped tossing.

By this time, the Bangou ambush had entered the scheduled track, and Chen Bingkun had completely lost his peripheral support.Only relying on such a hill and more than a thousand guns can't last long, because his adjutant told him just now that the ammunition is insufficient, and the troops transporting the luggage have now become the enemy's transport team.And the ammunition carried by these people is basically gone, and the remaining ammunition is less than three per person. If they continue to fight, it is estimated that they can only engage in hand-to-hand combat, and because they were busy marching before, the soldiers hadn't been fighting until [-] o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch, dinner was even more unavailable. Although a few people from the cooking team survived and followed up to the top of the mountain, all the pots, tiles and pans were left on the river beach, including the army rations.

I didn't feel it when I was fighting before, but now when I stop, everyone feels hungry. . .

Under such circumstances, Bai Chongxi did a very unvirtuous thing. He ordered the cooking squads of each company to immediately bury pots above the valley to make rice, and the meat must be stewed. Scope is no longer considered.His purpose is very clear, it is either a tooth-beating sacrifice, or using the smell of meat to disgust the Gui army.

Soon the smell of rice and meat continued to drift towards the Gui army's position with the breeze in the valley. The soldiers like tigers and wolves of the Gui army couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and then looked at their officers. I voted for Chen Bingkun.

This Guangxi tiger general who was incomparably beautiful before and after the Revolution of [-] is now feeling unprecedentedly desolate in his heart. Teacher, the teacher's name is Li Zongren, and the chief of staff is called Bai Chongxi. They are all young men from Guangxi in their early twenties. This is too young. I have a big lake that I have been tricked by two stunned youths. die laughing.

Chen Bingkun's thinking became narrower and narrower, but he suddenly realized: there is no need to fight anymore, the brothers have lost morale, and the right time, place and people are no different than himself.If the current situation is compared to playing chess, it is a dead end, and it is impossible for me to get out.Since it is impossible to break through, it is necessary to give these subordinates who have followed him for many years a way of life.

As soon as Chen Bingkun thought about it, it was difficult. If he wanted to survive, he had to surrender, and surrendering would be a pity to veteran Lu. What should we do?

The adjutant who has followed him for many years is still very powerful, and immediately guessed the general idea from the embarrassment of the teacher's expression, he quietly stepped forward and said: "Master, let's change into plain clothes and escape, this battle can't go on, give the brothers a way out!" .”

This idea came out, and both sides were fulfilled, and Chen Bingkun couldn't help applauding loudly in his heart.He looked around and said to the adjutant in a low voice: "Go to the officer and tell them to persist for a while, we can surrender after we get away..."

Two hours later, more than 300 people from the first division of the Guangxi Army raised the white flag to the Xiangxi Army and surrendered. The Bangou ambush ended with the third division of the Xiangxi Army winning a complete victory.

As for Chen Bingkun, I'm sorry, his escape plan failed to get him out in the end. The agents of the Military Intelligence Department recognized him as a man of the hour in Guilin, so he could only obediently become a prisoner. . .

The result of the ambush in Bangou was very great. In just over four hours, the 100 elite troops of the First Division of the Gui Army were wiped out. Among them, more than 3000 people were killed, [-] were captured, and some were missing.

Due to the tenacious resistance of the Guangxi Army, the third division of the Xiangxi Garrison Tigers suffered a lot of losses, among which the losses of the 301st, 302nd, and 303rd regiments were the most. Both the 301st and 302nd regiments had around 200 casualties, and the 303rd regiment had more than [-] casualties.Such huge casualties made Li Zongren, the division commander, frowned unconsciously after hearing this: "What's going on? So many casualties?"

The chief of staff, Bai Chongxi, smiled lightly and said, "There is no one who survives a war. Brother Delin, don't worry too much about it. The most important thing is that we won the battle, right?"

Li Zongren nodded and said: "But it is difficult to replenish the source of soldiers. A batch of soldiers will only be produced after half a year of recruit training."

Bai Chongxi actually had a problem with the unified recruitment and training of recruits, because this method killed the possibility of the commander leading the army to expand the army privately.This is also a huge obstacle for me who has always been ambitious, but now is obviously an opportunity to break the shackles: "Brother Delin, according to what I mean, didn't we capture so many prisoners? Just add them to the team, anyway Their combat effectiveness is not weak, and our treatment is high. As for the officers, they are all dismissed and either shot or dismissed."

Li Zongren also thought about it: "Yes, but we still have to follow the regulations and make a book, otherwise what will happen if the staff and armaments do not pay?"

Bai Chongxi slapped his head, how could he forget this.The payment of the Xiangxi garrison does not need to go through officers at all levels. All soldiers have a bank account, which is from the Xiangxi Development Bank. On the bank's booklet.And this booklet was done when recruits were recruited, so it was impossible for officers at all levels to spend their money on nothing, and it was even more impossible for Bai Chongxi to recruit more people.

"Okay, just do what you want, big brother." Bai Chongxi didn't feel good in his heart, the Marshal Wang above him was indeed a master of chess, and he took everything into account, so he admired him so much.How did he know that Wang Zhenyu's move was obtained by combining the experience of the military organization of later generations. It was easy to come by and the effect was remarkable. After all, it was tested in practice.

Just as he was thinking about it, the adjutant came to report: "Master, the chief of staff is not good. Commander Liao and the prisoners started fighting."

Li Zongren was shocked: "This Liao Lei, what is he doing, Jiansheng, let's go and have a look!"

Bai Chongxi gritted his teeth: "Notify the guard company, bring all the weapons and let me go."

Bai Chongxi, who was in a bad mood, was about to kill someone. . . . . .

Wang Zhenyu in Liuzhou City didn't know about these trivial matters. He was in a very good mood now. Although the final data of the Bangou ambush had not yet been reported, the results of the battle were reported as soon as possible.

Annihilation of 5000 troops from the first division of the Guangxi Army was a complete victory. This is a very important victory. You must know that the entire regular army in Guangxi is only 1 people, and half of them were wiped out in this battle. Quan, this deterrent effect alone is enough to calm down the entire territory of Guangxi.

Xu Yuanquan, who was holding the battle report, naturally did not forget to congratulate Wang Zhenyu: "Commander, we can say that this battle has established the whole situation, and we will not suffer any losses in the next fight. Do you want to release the news and shock it?" Lu Rongting and them."

Wang Zhenyu chuckled, waved his hands and said, "Don't miss the news. Firstly, Delin and Jiansheng are going to swindle Guilin, and there are still 2000 troops from the First Division of the Guijun Army. If we fight to the end, we'd better kill them all, lest they can't stand the scare and retreat into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and it will be troublesome to wipe them out in the future."

Xu Yuanquan nodded: "What the commander-in-chief said is very true, I will rush back to the first division now, and have another ambush."

Wang Zhenyu shook his head: "No, the first division wants to show weakness and must let the Gui army enter the guests. At that time, I will send the third division to cross the Youjiang River quietly and block their way back, so that no one is afraid that someone will leak it. Only then will Guangxi become our solid rear. Hehe, it’s funny to say, I didn’t intend to have the whole of Guangxi, but this Lu Rongting forced me to kill him. Since I made this request, I’m not satisfied I can't do it anymore. Don't you think so, Brother Kecheng?"

It's rare that Wang Zhenyu, who likes to get angry recently, made a joke, but even a veteran like Xu Yuanquan dare not take it.Xu Yuanquan saluted and went out, which embarrassed Wang Zhenyu for a while.

"Old Five, go and see if there is any news about Station Master Gong and the others in Nanning?" Wang Zhenyu lay down on the sofa to rest after confessing. out of breath.

Chapter 145 Guest Battle

At the moment when the first division of the Guangxi Army was wiped out and the tiger general Chen Bingkun was imprisoned. Our Guangxi Governor Lu Rongting was still waving his whip in Weiwu, looking at the world?

"Haoming, after we cross the Youjiang River this time, we will defeat the Xiangxi Army and attack Hongjiang!" Lu Rongting revealed his plan.

Tan Haoming asked puzzledly: "Marshal, aren't we going to fight Guangzhou? Why did we go to fight Hongjiang again?"

Lu Rongting laughed and said: "Everyone in the world knows that Guangzhou is rich and prosperous, but they don't know how strong the Cantonese army is, and in my Guangxi territory, it's not what Lu Rongting and his family say. If I really go to Guangzhou, how can I be in line with Nanning, so Occupying Guangzhou is untenable. On the contrary, Hongjiang is different. Although the mountain roads are rugged and difficult, Guilin and Liuzhou are all in our hands, so they are really connected. As far as I know, Hongjiang is also a wealthy city. The place where tung oil, pig temples, and opium soil are all paid for. Otherwise, why would a kid like him, Wang Zhenyu, raise such an army?"

Tan Haoming felt reasonable when he heard it: "Commander, then I will be your vanguard and take down this Hong Jiang."

Lu Rongting laughed loudly after hearing this: "According to what I mean, we Guangxi people want to take over Hunan and Guangdong provinces, you go to guard Hunan, and Bingkun to guard Guangdong, then we are qualified to ask the tripod that represents the world. How much does it weigh?"

"The cauldron that represents the world? Marshal, which cauldron is that?" Tan Haoming asked in confusion.

Lu Rongting turned cold and said: "How many times have I told you to play less cards and read more books when you are free, but you don't even understand Ding. This is taught by the teacher, that Ding, that Ding... Anyway, it's the tripod..."

While Lu Rongting was looking wildly at the world, Huang Xuchu and other captured officers and soldiers of the First Division of the Gui Army were beaten up by the Xiangxi Army and forced to squat on the ground with their heads in their hands.

"Liao Lei, what's going on?" Li Zongren acted like a big brother, and roared all over his head, making Liao Lei, who was always known for his rudeness, as helpless as a child.

Bai Chongxi arrived later, and said to Liao Lei with a pleasant face: "How can you have a conflict with the prisoners of war? Don't you know the rules of Marshal Wang? Have you memorized the military regulations? Do you want to eat military sticks? Explain it clearly to the commander." , or I will never forgive you lightly."

The ins and outs of what the chief of staff said meant that as long as he explained it, he could be forgiven lightly. Then Liao Lei said boldly: "Report to the commander, the chief of staff, I really can't get angry with the lowly position. I just found out that it is this man named Huang Xuchu." The trainee officer actually carried the military flag and organized the whole regiment to fight back when the second regiment of the First Division of the Gui Army was in chaos. The shot in his arm was shot by the sharpshooter next to me. It is absolutely true. Such a reactionary officer should be shot immediately. Unexpectedly, these soldiers did not have the slightest awareness of prisoners of war and dared to stop them, so they were humbled..."

Li Zongren immediately understood that Liao Lei's regiment had casualties of more than 300 people at once. After being trained by himself, he naturally wanted to find someone to vent his anger, so he made such a big move.

He leaned down and looked at Huang Xuchu, whose forehead was smeared with blood, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder lightly, and said, "He is a talented soldier, so don't harm the people of Guangxi with Commander Lu and the others, just follow me steadfastly." Do it, can you?"

Huang Xuchu stared blankly at this generous-looking officer: "Are you really General Li Zongren, commander of the Third Division of the Xiangxi Army?"

Li Zongren laughed loudly and said, "If it's fake, why, you know me?"

Huang Xuchu stood up and saluted: "Senior, I am also a graduate of Guangxi Army Primary School. I am two grades lower than seniors. I have heard stories about seniors participating in the Revolution of [-]."

Li Zongren quickly waved his hands: "Haha, what are the stories? They are all stories of beggars. If you don't believe me, ask your senior Bai Jiansheng. I didn’t study hard in school, so I didn’t look like a senior.”

After hearing this, Bai Chongxi could only laugh in disguise, while Liao Lei, who caused the trouble, could only be extremely embarrassed, so he could only shyly come over and pat Huang Xuchu on the shoulder: "This, that, you are so good, don't fight!" I don't know each other."

The captured soldiers suddenly discovered that the enemy's chief was also from Guangxi, and the hostility immediately dissipated.

The crisis of a prisoner-of-war riot was resolved invisibly in a few words that the brothers and sisters recognized each other. . .

On October 10, Xu Yuanquan arrived at Baipeng Town, where the headquarters of the First Division is located. From here to the forefront of Fenghuang Town, the straight-line distance is almost 3 kilometers.There are mostly hills and hills along the way, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, the original combat policy formulated by the First Division was to send a small group of troops to use the terrain to continuously delay the attack speed of the Gui army and effectively consume the morale of the enemy.Then wait for Bai Chongxi to lead part of the third division across the Youjiang River, occupy the south bank of Laibin, and completely cut off the retreat of the third division.At this time, it is estimated that Li Zongren, who occupied Guilin, led another part of the third division to Liujiang. Everyone launched a counterattack from Liujiang and defeated the Gui army in one fell swoop.

However, with the annihilation of the first division of the Guangxi army, this plan was simply fine-tuned. The first division was asked to place the decisive battle in Baipeng for a simple reason:

One is that the terrain in the Liujiang area is flat and difficult to defend, and the consequences of putting the Gui army here are unpredictable;

The second is that Lu Rongting is also a fool, how far can he go from Luzhai, and if he has not been able to get in touch with Chen Bingkun when he arrives at Liujiang, will he run away?

Combining the above two points, the battlefield of the decisive battle was moved forward by a full 14 kilometers, just to Baipeng Town, which is stuck at the exit of the entire mountainous area, which is currently the headquarters of the First Division.

Tao Zhiyue, head of the 101st Regiment of the First Division, is the commander-in-chief's favorite general, and his battalion commanders Cai Juxian and Liu Xuyi are also descended generals. Naturally, the whole regiment actively challenged the battle and took up this blocking mission.
