Back to the Republic of China as a commander

For two days in a row, the Gui army advanced ten miles in one breath, with less than 800 casualties. Lu Rongting even believed that the Xiangxi army was hurt when they surrounded and wiped out Chen Bingkun's first division. As long as he continued to attack hard, when Liuzhou appeared in front of him , most likely it is just an empty city.

Wang Zhenyu is at Xu Yuanquan's division at the moment: "Brother Kecheng, I looked at the battle report and the map. Your first division's retreat is a bit faster than expected. What's going on?"

Xu Yuanquan wiped off his sweat and said, "Commander, it's not that the brothers don't work hard. These Guangxi troops are like eating smoke and dust, and they are desperate to attack. Isn't our troops below to avoid casualties? So they gave up after a while .”

Wang Zhenyu threw the report away, and said in a calm manner: "Brother Kecheng, this is a war, you can explain the reason to me, can you explain the reason to the enemy?"

Chief of Staff of the First Division Wan Yaohuang looked at the stunned Xu Yuanquan, shook his head and interjected: "Commander, this man who can't complain is not working hard. We have problems with our deployment from the beginning."

Wang Zhenyu raised his head and glanced at Wan Yaohuang: "Oh, tell me, Brother Wu Qiao, what did we do wrong?"

Wan Yaohuang pointed out without fear: "It seems that there is no problem in defending a mountain in a company, but it also depends on who the opponent is. If it is a soldier from the northern plains, it will be no problem to play like this. But if it is better than us The Gui army, who are more adept at fighting in mountainous areas, is taking advantage of the short-term attack and humiliating themselves. Brothers, if you persist for a while, it is likely to become a lone army. Therefore, while seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, everyone's blocking becomes A sniping harassment war."

Wang Zhenyu stood up from his chair, he still took it for granted, and only based on the book Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that he read from later generations, he formulated such a method of blocking the attack layer by layer. Now it seems that it is indeed divorced from reality. strenuous.

"Brother Wu Qiao, in your opinion, how should we play? Is it too late to adjust now?"

Wan Yaohuang nodded, walked to the sand table, pointed to a mountain protruding from the mountain road, and said, "Here, Commander, this is the place. This mountain has no name and is not high. The engineering soldiers measured it to be about 250 meters. However, this mountain happens to be stuck in the middle of the road. No matter which way you go, you must look down on this mountain, and the surrounding mountains are mostly cliffs. As long as you put a small amount of troops, you can effectively prevent the enemy from seizing the commanding heights of the two wings. This is unique. The place is one of our key points, and we put 101 regiments here, which can definitely effectively stop the enemy's attack speed and buy enough time for the third division to outflank."

Xu Yuanquan gave Wan Yaohuang a cold look. This man is too crazy. Everyone is from Hubei. Is it necessary to be so generous?

Wang Zhenyu didn't care about Xu Yuanquan's dissatisfaction behind him, he was applauding this plan in his heart.

"It's this unnamed mountain. You two go and give orders. You must hold on for at least two days. In addition, let the 101st regiment send a battalion to wait for an opportunity to ambush behind the enemy. I don't think it will be able to ambush any more. This battalion will not be able to ambush when we start to counterattack." At that time, I occupied this unnamed mountain, so that the final encirclement can be achieved without going to Laibin. If your first division has this determination, it depends on your 5000 people to eat up 3 troops from the Gui army. .”

Wan Yaohuang immediately saluted and said: "The humble job must live up to the expectations of the commander-in-chief."

Even if Xu Yuanquan was dissatisfied with Wan Yaohuang, a fellow villager, at this moment in front of the general, he could only agree with him. . .

"Haha, I like this task. This task is to my taste." Cai Juxian laughed happily when he saw the latest order issued by the division headquarters. No need to guess, the battalion in charge of lurking and standby chose Cai Juxian's first battalion. , As for Liu Xuyi's second battalion, it was ordered to follow the regiment headquarters to carry out blocking operations in the unnamed mountain. . .

The battle in Wuming Mountain was unprecedentedly fierce. On October 10, the Gui army launched thirteen rounds of charges towards the main defensive position of Wuming Mountain, and in the fourth charge, very precious artillery was also used. The Xiangxi army on the top of the mountain was bombarded indiscriminately.

Cai Juxian and a few scouts lay on the top of the mountain less than three miles away from Wuming Mountain and observed the situation on the battlefield with binoculars: "Well, this blocking position is still lacking in levels. These birdmen scored very well in the military academy. It’s not like that when we really fight. Pay attention to this when you go back to the meeting with several company commanders. Our positions must have oblique angles and support points. In addition, we must dig barrier trenches to protect the main position on the side facing the enemy...”

After defeating Tianhe, the Gui army failed to occupy even half of the position on the unnamed highland!

After hearing the news, Lu Rongting rushed to the front line, which was only ten miles away from Baipeng Town. As a result, the Gui army, which had been fighting smoothly before, was strongly blocked and stopped here.

After yelling at Long and Song, Lu Rongting finally made the decision to put Mo Rongxin and Lin Junting on the second echelon.

On October 10, the next day, the Guangxi army launched an attack on the unnamed mountain from three sides, and once broke into the defensive position of the Xiangxi army.And Tao Zhiyue was also red-eyed, and personally led the 13 people directly under the regiment headquarters to launch a countercharge, and drove the Gui army who had entered the main position with bayonets.

The Gui army suffered heavy casualties, but still failed to take the hill.Lu Rongting ordered the shooting of the four company commanders who failed to fight on the spot, and then offered a reward of 20 yuan, announcing that no matter which unit it was, if it was the first to take down the mountain, the 20 yuan would be rewarded to him.

On the one hand, there is Marshal Lu who is like the king of Hades, on the other hand, there is 20 dazzling foreign money. All the soldiers of the Gui Army have made humane choices.Anyway, it is a death, it is better to fight, maybe there is still a way to survive, kill!

What is ants climbing a tree? The Gui army's attacking appearance is the most standard.The officers and soldiers of the Gui army swarmed towards the position on the top of the mountain like ants, no matter how they fought, there were no shortage of them.

The battle lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon. After discussing with Xu Yuanquan, Wan Yaohuang and others, Wang Zhenyu agreed with Tao Zhiyue to lead his troops to withdraw, because the Gui army would have to rest for half a day even if they took the mountain, so In fact, the two-day blocking task has been completed ahead of schedule.Continuing to fight will only increase the loss of our own troops. After all, after two days of fighting, the 101st regiment has suffered more than 30.00% of the battle damage. Most of the heavy machine guns have been destroyed. Not a single one was left.

Wang Zhenyu personally made the decision, and the 101st regiment immediately retreated from the Wuming Mountain.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, at dinner time, Lu Rongting ordered to kill dozens of pigs to reward everyone, and the whole camp smelled like pork.

Then each department of the Guangxi army organized a company of death squads. Without saying anything, they were greeted with good wine and meat, and they went to die collectively when they were done.

This is also the old rule of the Gui army. At the most critical time of the Sino-French war, Cui Shuai Feng Zicai did this, and the death squad greeted the French army batch by batch.As a veteran who participated in the war that day, Lu Rongting continued and carried forward this fine tradition without hesitation.

At around 250 o'clock in the evening, two thousand death squads rushed from three sides to the top of the [-] unnamed highlands, but when the leading officer rushed into the empty position, he could only sigh: "Now, Shuai Lu's good wine and meat are all wasted!" gone."

Chapter 149 Unnamed Heights ([-])

After taking down the unnamed hill, Lu Rongting made the latest misjudgment under the previous series of misjudgments. The Xiangxi Army has no combat effectiveness, and the resistance on the unnamed hill is their last strength.

If so, then move on.

Sure enough, in the next day, there was no such tenacious resistance from Wuming Mountain again.In just one day, Lu Rongting, the Great Warlord, commanded an army that had lost about [-] people, and reached the exit controlled by Baipeng Town.

Now even the fools in the Gui army know that as long as Baipeng Town is captured, the entire gate of Liuzhou will be completely opened.

Victory was just around the corner, and the already low morale of the Gui army was once again boosted to the peak. The officers and soldiers were all gearing up, determined to complete this damn last battle.

At this time, the 102nd Infantry Regiment Zhang Xuguang's Department of the [-]nd Infantry Regiment was in charge of defending Baipeng Town at this time. Fortifications for almost seven or eight days.The whole town has been run by him like a rock, and now it's waiting for the Gui army to bump into it head-on.

The 102 mountain cannons belonging to the heavy artillery regiment of the division also entered the camouflaged artillery position. The plan agreed by Xu Yuanquan and Wan Yaohuang was to use the 303nd regiment to effectively kill the Gui army in Baipeng Town, and then send out those who were unable to move forward. The Gui army entered the plain area, and then counterattacked across the board. Both the Liao Lei Division of the 304rd Infantry Regiment and the Li Pinxian Division of the [-]th Infantry Regiment have built solid fortifications about five miles away from Baipeng Town as the last line of resistance before the counterattack.The more favorable news is that the two regiments of the third division led by Li Zongren have already arrived in Liujiang, and they will be able to enter the last line of resistance tomorrow morning at the latest and become the backbone of the entire counterattack. . .

But Bai Chongxi was a little depressed. He got the same job as the last battle of Changde, and led the other two regiments of the third division to work tirelessly, over mountains and mountains, and detoured all the way to the Gui army's supplies and supplies.

This is a very dangerous penetration operation. In an era without radio contact, daring to conduct such a large-scale long-distance penetration requires a high degree of trust in friendly and neighboring troops.

First, your neighboring troops must be capable and determined to eliminate all hardships and accidents, and unswervingly complete the original combat plan; take this interlude as an example, if the first division is in front of the Gui army's offensive Those who were beaten were retreating steadily, and the entire 26-kilometer straight-line mountain road distance could not be maintained for even a day, so Bai Chongxi's interlude would turn into suicide.

Second, your neighboring troops must be worthy of your trust, otherwise it will affect your determination and will to intersperse. After all, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and a slight hesitation will lead to a completely different ending.

Bai Chongxi didn't trust Xu Yuanquan very much, because his perception told himself that he was not a kind and honest person.But he still believes that the first division will achieve the first point above, because Wang Zhenyu must be on the front line at this moment.

"Hurry up, let the follow-up troops move faster, gather at the town ahead, we are only [-] miles away from the guest, and the rest is a plain area, we must capture the guest before the enemy finds us, I don't want to flow too much blood." Bai Chongxi told the officers beside him: "The war should end here, and we have to bring all the brothers home safely, so the guest battle should be a night attack, and the people from the Military Intelligence Department will take the city The door is open, you have to move fast and be civilized. The Guangxi army in Chengli has only two thousand combat troops, but there are more than ten thousand strong people. If you dare to release only a few people in the place with heavy supplies, if you don't lure the enemy into deep, Lu Rongting **Lake should retire too."

It's a pity that this is really not about luring the enemy to go deep, but a complete old horse stumbles. Because of the appearance of Wang Zhenyu, a big butterfly, Lu Rongting started to go downhill six years in advance.

Lu Rongting's mentality at the moment is more like a gambler who has already lost half of his family property, eager to use the remaining half of his family property to win back what he lost, without thinking about whether he will lose the remaining half.

The lessons of history are extremely precious and profound. It is nonsense that a small gamble will make you happy, but a big gamble will hurt your body. The correct answer is that every gamble must lose.

On the night of October 10, Bai Chongxi, chief of staff of the Third Division of the Xiangxi Army, personally commanded the Liao Lei Division of the 14rd Infantry Regiment and the Li Pinxian Division of the 303th Infantry Regiment to attack the guests at night. Laibin's Gui army was all wiped out, and no heroic surrender could change the outcome of the fall of Laibin's city.Lu Rongting lost the first gamble of life and death completely, and Bai Chongxi's name also became famous all over the world with his series of victories in raiding Changde, outwitting Liuzhou, and attacking Laibin at night.

It was already the afternoon of October 10th when Lu Rongting received the news that the guests had fallen, and the Gui army had already been beaten badly in Baipeng Town.

The battle of Baipeng Town started in the early morning of October 10th. According to the wishful thinking of Lu Rongting and other Gui faction generals, it would be best to concentrate all firepower to take down this damn Baipeng Town in one go.

The Gui army smashed the shells brought in by saving the army's ration capacity one by one to the small town of Baipeng Town. Suddenly, the town was full of gunpowder and smoke, and the broken bricks and stumps were blown up into the sky.Even relying on solid fortifications, the defenders still suffered certain casualties in the face of the Gui army's artillery fire.

Guarding Baipeng Town is Zhang Xuguang, the head of the 102nd regiment of the first division.It's just that he had to end his military career because he took the wrong side in the political struggle in the future.However, on October 22, the second year of the Republic of China, Zhang Xuguang's name was forever engraved in the history of the First Division.The 102-year-old head of the regiment commanded nearly [-] officers and soldiers of the [-]nd regiment, and fought a full day of fierce battles with the nearly [-] Gui troops who invaded.

In Nanning, Guangxi, Gong Peng received news of the success of the guests through the radio, and he handed it over to Wei Changrong and Chen Chaozheng who were about to make their final decision without delay.

"You two commanders, don't miss this opportunity and don't come here again. When doing business, you should pay attention to whether it is early or late. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. You can wait until our army defeats the Warlord Lu before doing it, but when it arrives At that time, the price will not be the same as today." Gong Peng's words were loud and dragging, even coaxing and threatening.

Wei Changrong was silent for a long time, then stood up suddenly, as if he had made up his mind and said, "We don't want Wei, the overlord. As long as Marshal Wang is willing to give Wei a chance to continue leading troops, Wei will do it today. From Guangxu year to now, the emperor and the president have changed three dynasties, I can't let Lu Laosong (Lu Rongting's real name before his fortune) this old bastard step on my feet for the rest of my life."

Chen Chaozheng rolled his eyes and said: "Station Master Gong, Mr. Chen is a cowardly person. He would not dare to do such a big matter without gritting his teeth. As for the provincial civil affairs chief, Mr. Chen knows that he has little talent and knowledge. If I can’t do it, I don’t dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. In the future, Guangxi will definitely be ruled by Marshal Wang. But Chen has a worry, so he desperately asked him to clarify, I don’t know..."

Gong Peng laughed and said, "Commander Chen, it's all over now, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."

Chen Chaozheng glanced at Wei Changrong, and said in a low voice: "Then Chen will ask disrespectfully if Marshal Wang will hit a rabbit with grass, and then he will pick me up with Wei Shuai afterwards."

Gong Peng already knew what the two were worried about, so he didn't answer immediately. He was silent for a while and said, "If the two of you are sincerely following my commander in chief, this is naturally not a problem, but if you still want to be like Warlord Lu If I continue to intervene in local civil affairs, then I can only say goodbye, and the future will depend on the fate of the two of you."
