Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Xu Yuanquan convened the officers above the platoon of the whole division to give a speech: "From Fenghuang Town to Baipeng Town, there are hundreds of hills, I ask you to defend every hill with all your might, keep delaying the attack of the enemy's superior forces, and lay the groundwork for the large forces to counterattack. The basics... Our first division is a unit started by the commander-in-chief. It is the direct descendant of the commander-in-chief. Everyone lost face together. So I ask all officers and soldiers to carry forward the spirit of not fearing death and suffering; each hilltop should not be less than 24 hours, unless the troops guarding the hilltop are wiped out, no one will be allowed Half a leg. Do you understand?"

Fighting on the battlefield is just the appearance of war, and the real war actually begins with logistics supplies. . .

The officers in the back office of the Military Armament Department tried their best, using cattle, horses, donkeys, and even civilian husbands, to continuously pull boxes of bullets, shells, and grenades from the military factory in Anjiang to Baipeng Town .Then it was sent to all participating units through the temporary transfer warehouse in Baipeng Town. The officers and soldiers in charge of transportation were busy almost day and night. Even so, Xu Yuanquan was still dissatisfied. He hoped that the combat units could get more sufficient supplies , This is the basic guarantee for the realization of one's own combat plan.

On October 10, the 4st and 301nd regiments led by Li Zongren finally succeeded in fraudulently opening Guilin City. The 302 Guilin troops guarding the city surrendered to the Xiangxi Army without firing a single shot.Bai Chongxi led his troops to complete the rest, and the 2000 and 303 regiments led by Liu Zhenhuan, the deputy division commander, started an extremely difficult interspersed operation. . .

On October 10, the 5st regiment successfully built the first line of defense near Fenghuang Town.Tao Zhiyue ordered the engineers to shovel the hillside into 101 degrees that are not easy to climb, and at the same time skillfully use the terrain to set up firepower points.Often the firepower points on two hills can form a firepower angle near the post road, so as to achieve the purpose of successfully blocking traffic.

The 102nd and 103rd regiments were used as the counterattack force Shi Yong, and the 104th regiment was carrying out civil engineering work nervously behind the 101st regiment. At present, the work on the anti-blasting holes is still unqualified.Wang Zhenyu didn't care much about this either. After all, the level of so-called engineering operations depends to a certain extent on the level of industrial technology, and it can't be determined by one or two training sessions.

Accompanied by Xu Yuanquan and Tao Zhiyue, Wang Zhenyu inspected the front-line positions. Cai Juxian, the commander of the first battalion, was cordially received by Wang Zhenyu.

"Old Cai, how is this front line?" Wang Zhenyu asked seemingly casually.

Cai Juxian had no choice but to reply respectfully: "Reporting to the commander, my subordinates have built a lot of fortifications on various hills. My plan is to put a platoon on each hill, and the other troops will respond mobilely, and carry out multi-level fortifications through superior firepower." check."

Wang Zhenyu nodded. In fact, he didn't have a specific idea of ​​how to play this game, and he had very vague concepts about Cai Juxian's technical terms.

He was really concerned about another issue: "Old Cai, I heard that your family has moved to Anjiang."

"Yes, Marshal" Cai Juxian answered boldly.

Wang Zhenyu made a downward gesture: "If others want to do this, you, Lao Cai, don't have to be so polite. In terms of seniority in the New Army, I am not as good as you, Lao Cai. You have to use your brain more when fighting. Don't blindly emphasize fierce fighting. Many times in war, you need to use your brain, think of ways, be flexible, and be changeable. The most important thing is to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible at the lowest cost. You must pay special attention to this, not only if you want to Go back to Anjiang and reunite with your family, in fact all the soldiers were raised by their parents."

Cai Juxian nodded in agreement one by one. . .

All kinds of fortifications were completed very quickly, but the enemy did not appear for a long time, and everyone was inevitably a little anxious.

On October 10, the Guangxi army, which had been overwhelmed by the various departments of the Xiangxi Army, finally came out of Laibin City. . .

Chapter 146 Guest Battle ([-])

Because the final ending point of this battle was Laibin in Guangxi, historians of later generations named this battle as the Laibin Battle. This battle was also the largest battle in the second year of the Republic of China. Two divisions were invested in the west of Hunan. With 5 troops, the Guangxi faction invested two divisions and one brigade plus the Fifth Route Patrol Army for a total of 10 horses. This kind of decisive battle with a scale of nearly [-] people eclipsed the entire second revolution.

At this time, Wang Zhenyu didn't care what the final name of the battle would be. His attention was on the battle itself. Now that the big net had been opened, he was waiting for the gang of two hundred and five from the Gui family to rush in.

Wang Zhenyu has visited almost all the companies of the First Division in the past few days. For some reason, although the Third Division won the first battle, Wang Zhenyu still has some unexplainable worries about the First Division, which makes him only through the interview. way to address this concern.

At this moment, he finally realized what is called Battle Eve Syndrome, in which various negative emotions such as nervousness, irritability, and uneasiness are concentrated in himself.He is more restless than anyone else in the Xiangxi Army. Whether the news of encircling and annihilating the first division of the Guangxi Army has leaked out, whether the old fox Lu Rongting will take the bait, whether he can fight to determine the situation of the entire Guangxi, and the future of Guangxi. what's the situation?How to deal with the aftermath of this war?After occupying Guangxi, how to face the militia forces in Guangdong, the Yunnan-Guizhou Yunnan Army forces and the most important Yuan Shikai in Beijing.These problems have been bothering me, and the pressure is really great.

Wang Zhenyu thought for a while and said to Wang Zhenbang next to him: "Old Wu, go and check to see if there is any telegram or news from Big Brother Beijing Tian. He has been active there for almost two months, and he should have news back."

Since Zhu Cihan went down to lead the troops, the position of adjutant has been vacant.After Wang Zhenbang left, Wang Zhenyu said to Wang Hu, Zhao Chong and Zhao Songyang: "Come on, let's go for a walk in the mountains."

Wang Hu hurriedly dissuaded him: "Commander, I heard from the locals that there are vicious tigers and wild boars in this mountain. Can we not go?"

Wang Zhenyu glanced at the top of the mountain in surprise, shook his head and said: "How could there be such things on this mountain? It's just rumors. Besides, if there really are, wouldn't there be people like you? What are you afraid of? Let's go."

Wang Hu and others know that the commander-in-chief is a very assertive person, and he is not in a good mood recently. Since he wants to go up the mountain, then he and the others should be careful to protect him. It's serious.

The three personal guards had no time to summon the guards in the distance, so they could only press the magazines into the pistols, and then followed the commander up the mountain.

In a blink of an eye, it has been almost two years since Wang Zhenyu came to this world. From a small new military officer to the current leader of a military group with tens of thousands of troops, everything is like a dream.He is now taking every step extremely carefully, fearing that if he is careless, everything in front of him will eventually be disillusioned like a dream.

The beautiful wife and young son at home, attached to his family and subordinates, made Wang Zhenyu feel stressed before the decisive battle, and he couldn't resolve it. On the way up the mountain, he could only sigh incessantly. . .

Lu Rongting's life was also difficult. Although the era of the Republic of China was not yet the Internet era, the news of the annihilation of the first division of the Gui Army and the capture of Guilin City was sent the moment Lu Rongting arrived in Laibin City.

Lu Rongting looked at the secret letter sent, although he kept a smile on his face, but his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

The degree of horror in his heart can't be described in words. His own army, the first division of the Gui army known as the elite of the Gui army, with nearly 8000 troops, disappeared in just a few days.God, how strong is his opponent? Lu Rongting's self-confidence before the expedition has fallen into the abyss now. The contrast is so great that even he himself cannot bear it.

But it must be endured, and now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.Looking at the commanders of the patrol troops in front of him, Lu Rongting pretended to be relaxed and said: "Chen Bingkun and the others have taken down Luzhai, and they are waiting for us to join forces in the Liujiang River! Everyone, hurry up, and hurry up."

Mo Rongxin laughed loudly: "Shuai Lu, it is a very good sign to win the flag."

All the generals around congratulated Lu Rongting one after another, and Lu Rongting naturally responded with a smile, and shared his encouragement with all the gentlemen.But my heart was dripping blood crazily, just kidding, half of my combat strength disappeared, let alone defeating Wang Zhenyu, even maintaining my current position was a big problem.Among other things, Chen Chaozheng will definitely mess with Wei Changrong who has not arrived for the guests.So Lu Rongting made a very important choice, that is to conceal the news of the defeat of the Gui Army's First Division, not only that, but also claimed that it was a great victory.

But after all, it is impossible to cover the fire with paper, and it will always be exposed after a long time. Lu Rongting secretly made up his mind that no matter what method he uses, he must put the [-] Guangxi army currently gathered in Laibin into the attack and defeat the [-] Hunan army. , Take Liuzhou.Only in this way is it possible to turn the tide of the battle, otherwise, if it continues to procrastinate, it is estimated that there will be no fight at all, and these troops of ours will disperse.

Now that he understood the truth, Lu Rongting naturally actively held a military meeting and deployed a battle plan. . .

Just when Lu Rongting had to bite the bullet and planned to launch the most ferocious offensive in the history of the Gui army.In Nanning, a conspiracy is quietly unfolding.

At the station of the First Patrol Army in Guangxi, Wei Changrong, who took one step and three steps back, has not left Nanning City for twenty miles.As for Chen Chaozheng, he was [-] miles away, but that was only the vanguard, and his main force was only five miles away from Wei Changrong.

Their reason is very simple, the army is not paid enough and cannot be dispatched.

Lu Rongting is not a fool, but when he saw this reason, he had already brought the second division and the independent mixed brigade to the guests.The only way is to bring troops to conquer Liuzhou, and then go back and settle accounts with these two traitors.

In Nanning City, Lu Rongting's son Lu Yuguang was staying here. He was about the same age as Wang Zhenyu. He was twenty-one this year, but he obviously didn't have the courage of Wang Zhenyu to attack Yudaimen.In order to win the battle to unify Guangxi, Lu Rongting took away all the elite troops, leaving only 500 cadets and 1300 garrison troops to his son Lu Yuguang.Based on this army, even if Lu Yuguang is the rebirth of Marquis Wu, he probably won't be able to recruit Wei Changrong and Chen Chaozheng's more than [-] troops.

Now even the ants in Nanning City are running around telling everyone that Wei Chen is going to rebel, but Lu Yuguang has nothing to do.The only thing I can do is to send my family back to Wu Ming's hometown. According to the rules of the military, nothing will hurt my family, so my hometown is safer than Nanning.

Other than that, I can only send urgent letters to the guests. . .

Wei Changrong and Chen Chaozheng didn't take Lu Yuguang's men seriously at all. They were still waiting for favorable conditions, but today they got a bad news.

"Mr. Gong, how is it possible? Shuai Lu's first division can be called the first elite of our Gui army. You said that they were all wiped out in less than half a day. How is this possible?" Asking how it is possible twice shows that Wei Changrong has already believed the veracity of this news.

Gong Peng didn't give any further explanations, but just smiled lightly and said, "It's up to the two of you next."

Both Wei Changrong and Chen Chaozheng were extremely shocked by the news of the annihilation of the First Division. If it was true, then they would never have the idea of ​​becoming a military governor or governor.Because after Lu Rongting's death, it will be difficult for people like himself to keep the territory. How dare they bargain in front of the Xiangxi Army, which is so fierce in fighting power, and ask for too much.

Wei Changrong didn't mention the military governor at all today, he would not do it to rescue Lu Rongting, after all, the enmity for so many years cannot be resolved in a day or two.Historically, when Chen Jiongming brought [-] Cantonese troops to crusade against Lu Rongting, it was the commander Wei Changrong who defected at a critical moment, and then took advantage of the opportunity when Lu Rongting was away to take Nanning without bloodshed. Lu Rongting's [-] troops were defeated without a fight.

Of course, this period of history is not recorded in our textbooks, because the founding father almost killed Lu Rongting's 1924 troops by relying on his personal charm.Then we found out very strangely that when the warlords fought in [-], why did Lu Rongting, the deputy marshal of the French military government, disappear?

If it is said that when Wei and Chen hooked up with the people in the Xiangxi Army's military intelligence department, they still wanted to control Guangxi for themselves, then the amazing strength shown by the Xiangxi Army now made them feel that they were seeking skins from tigers.

Wei Rongchang winked at Chen Chaozheng, and Chen Chaozheng said, "Mr. Gong, Wei Shuai and I have been discussing these days. The military and civil affairs in this province are really trivial. I can't read a few words." Well, the ink in my stomach is afraid that I can't bear the heavy responsibility of managing Guangxi province. We should lead our soldiers well, and we will follow Dashuai Wang and his old man with saddles and horses in the future."

When Gong Peng heard this, he smiled very proudly. . .

At this time, Wang Shuai and his old man were walking on the path in the mountains and forests, and sneezed unnaturally: "It must be Wen girl who spoke ill of me at home, this sneezing, really..."

"Roar..." Suddenly, a tiger howling that shocked the forest interrupted Wang Zhenyu's soliloquy.

"Wow, there are really tigers in this place." Wang Zhenyu immediately remembered Wang Hu's reminder before going up the mountain, but how could there be tigers on such a small mountain?This environmental protection is so good, if I knew that I would not come up if I was killed, this is the experience of later generations that kills people.

After more than a year of experience in this era, no matter how vicious people are, Wang Zhenyu is not afraid.Because people can communicate and find their weaknesses, but tigers are different. How do you communicate with this beast, whether you talk about party spirit or principles.Wang Zhenyu, who had been through the hail of bullets, started to tremble unnaturally, and touched his waist with his hands, oh shit, he didn't bring his gun.

At this moment, Wang Hu sternly shouted from behind: "Marshal, be careful..."

Chapter 147 Guest Battle ([-])

"Master, be careful!" With Wang Hu's roar, Wang Zhenyu saw several wild boars running out of the woods in panic, and then rushed straight towards him.
