Just when the first division of the Gui Army was wiped out and the tiger general Chen Bingkun was imprisoned, our Guangxi governor Lu Rongting was still whipping the whip at Wei Wu, looking around the world.

"Haoming, after we crossed Youjiang this time, we defeated the Xiangxi Army and further attacked Hongjiang." Lu Rongting told his plan.

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

Lu Rongting laughed and said, "Everyone knows that Guangzhou is rich, but he doesn't know how strong the Guangdong army is. In my Guangxi territory, it is not the final say of Lu Rongting's family. If I really go to Guangzhou, how can I connect with Nanning? So I can't stand to occupy Guangzhou. On the contrary, Hongjiang is different. Although the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to travel, Guilin and Liuzhou are in our hands, so it is really connected. As far as I know, Hongjiang is also a rich place, with money on tung oil, pig hair, and opium. Otherwise, why did Wang Zhenyu raise such an army?"

When Tan Haoming heard this, he felt reasonable: "Master, then I will be the pioneer for you and take down this Hongjiang."

After hearing this, Lu Rongting laughed: "According to my opinion, we Guangxi people will take over the provinces of Hunan and Guangdong. You go to defend Hunan, Bingkun guards Guangdong, and then we are qualified to ask how heavy the tripod that represents the world is."

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

Lu Rongting's face turned cold and said, "I have said it many times. I asked you to play less cards and read more books when you are fine. I don't even understand the tripod. This is taught by the teacher, that tripod, that tripod, anyway, that tripod, that tripod, anyway, that tripod,."

Just when Lu Rongting was looking forward to the world, Huang Xuchu and other captured officers and soldiers of the First Division of the Gui Army were all beaten by the Xiangxi Army and were forced to squat on the ground with their heads in their arms.

"Liao Lei, what's going on?" Li Zongren took out his big brother's behavior and roared at the head. Liao Lei, who was always known for being rude, was as helpless as a child.

Bai Chongxi then arrived and said to Liao Lei with a smile: "How can you have a conflict with the prisoners of war? Don't you know the rules of Marshal Wang? Have you carved the military rules? Do you want to eat military sticks? Explain it clearly to the division commander, otherwise you will never let it go."

The Chief of Staff meant that he could be relieved as long as he explained it. Liao Lei then said boldly: "Report to the division commander, Chief of Staff, I am really angry. I just found out that it was this intern officer named Huang Xuchu who carried the military flag and organized the entire regiment to fight back when their first and second regiments of the Gui Army were in chaos. The shot on his arm was shot by the sharpshooter beside me. It was absolutely true that such a reactionary officer should be shot immediately. Unexpectedly, these soldiers did not have the awareness of prisoners of war and dared to stop them, so they were the ones, "

Li Zongren understood immediately. Liao Lei's group suffered more than 300 casualties. After being scolded by himself, he naturally wanted to find someone to vent his anger, so he made such a big move.

He bent down and looked at Huang Xuchu with blood stains on his forehead, reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "He is a talented man who leads troops. Don't harm the people of Guangxi from now on, just follow me steadily. Is it okay?"

Huang Xuchu stared blankly at the commander who looked generous: "You are really General Li Zongren, the commander of the Third Division of the Xiangxi Army."

Li Zongren laughed and said, "If you want to change the bag, why? You know me."

Huang Xuchu stood up and saluted: "Hello senior, I am also a graduate of Guangxi Army Primary School. I am a second-level senior. I have heard of the seniors participating in the Xinhai Revolution."

Li Zongren waved his hand quickly: "Haha, what kind of story are all about beggars. If you don't believe me, please ask your senior Bai Jiansheng. By the way, there is also the leader Liao Lei who was rude just now. He is also your senior. He just didn't study hard when he was in school, so he didn't look like a senior."

After hearing this, Bai Chongxi could only cover up laughing, while Liao Lei, who caused trouble, could only be extremely embarrassed, and could only come over and pat Huang Xuchu on the shoulder: "This, that, you are so good, you won't know each other if you don't fight."

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

A crisis of prisoners of war caused trouble was resolved invisibly through the recognition of these brothers.

On October 3, Xu Yuanquan arrived at Baipeng Town, where the First Division headquarters was located. It was about 25 kilometers away from here to the forefront of Fenghuang Town. There were mostly mountains and hills along the way, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, the combat policy originally 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 enemy's morale. Then, Bai Chongxi led one of the Third Division to cross the Youjiang River, occupy the south bank of Laibin, and completely cut off the retreat route of the Third Division. At this time, Li Zongren, who occupied Guilin, led another unit of the Third Division to Liujiang, and 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 Gui Army, this plan was briefly fine-tuned. The first division was asked to place the decisive battle site in Baipeng, and the reason was very simple:

First, the terrain of Liujiang area is flat and the defense is not easy, and the consequences of putting Gui army here are really unpredictable;

Second, Lu Rongting's troops are fools. How far can they be from Luzhai? He has not been able to contact Chen Bingkun even when he arrived in Liujiang. He will not run away.

Based on the above two points, the decisive battlefield was moved forward for a full 14 kilometers, just to Baipeng Town, which was stuck at the exit of the entire mountainous area, which is the current location of the First Division.

Tao Zhiyue, the commander of the 101st Regiment of the First Division, was the favorite general of the commander of the Grand Commander, and his battalion commanders Cai Juxian, Liu Xuyi and others were also surrendered. Naturally, the entire regiment actively asked for battle to take on this blocking mission.

Xu Yuanquan convened all the officers above the platoon to give a speech: "From Fenghuang Town to Baipeng Town, there are hundreds of hills of all sizes. I ask you to defend each hill to death, constantly delay the attack of the enemy's superior troops, and lay the foundation for the comprehensive counterattack of the large army. Our First Division is the army started by the Grand Commander, and is the direct line of the Grand Commander's direct line. This is the first time that such a large-scale battle was carried out. If the battle is done, it will give the Grand Commander a face and blow it bad, and it will embarrass everyone. Therefore, I ask that all officers and soldiers should carry forward the spirit of not fearing death and not fearing hardship; each hill cannot hold on for less than 24 hours. Unless the troops guarding the hill are exhausted, you will never be allowed to step back. Do you understand?"

Fighting on the battlefield is just an appearance of war. The real war actually starts with logistics supply,.

The officers in the Logistics Office of the Military Affairs Office made their best efforts, using cattle, horse, donkey, and even civilians to pull boxes of bullets, shells, and grenades from the military factory in Anjiang to Baipeng Town, and then sent them to all participating units through the temporary transfer warehouse of Baipeng Town. The officers and soldiers responsible for transportation were busy almost day and night. Even so, Xu Yuanquan was still not satisfied. He hoped that the combat units could get more sufficient supplies, which was the basic guarantee for the realization of his combat plan.

On October 4, the 301st and 302nd Regiments led by Li Zongren finally successfully opened Guilin City. The 2,000 Gui troops guarding the city were shot and surrendered to the Xiangxi Army. Bai Chongxi led his troops to complete the rest and started an extremely difficult interweaving operation with deputy division commander Liu Zhenhuan.

On October 5, the 101st Regiment successfully built the first line of defense near Fenghuang Town. Tao Zhiyue ordered the engineers to shovel the hillside into 90 degrees that are difficult to climb as much as possible, and at the same time cleverly use the terrain to set fire points. Often, the fire points on the two hills can form a fire angle near the post road, thereby achieving the purpose of successfully blocking traffic.

The 102nd Regiment and the 103rd Regiment were used as counterattack troops, while the 104th Regiment was nervously carrying out civil engineering operations behind the 101st Regiment. At present, the operation of the anti-aircraft holes was still unqualified, and Wang Zhenyu was not very concerned about this. After all, the so-called level of engineering operations depends to a certain extent on the level of industrial technology, and it cannot be finalized by one or two trainings.

Wang Zhenyu patrolled the front line with Xu Yuanquan and Tao Zhiyue, and the battalion commander Cai Juxian was cordially received by Wang Zhenyu.

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

Cai Juxian had to answer respectfully: "Report to the commander, his subordinates have built many fortifications on each hill. My plan is to place a platoon on each hill, and other troops will mobilize and carry out multi-level blocking through firepower advantages."

Wang Zhenyu nodded. In fact, he had no specific idea of ​​how to play this, and his professional terms such as Cai Juxian were also very vague.

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

"Yes, Grandmaster" Cai Juxian stepped forward to answer.

Wang Zhenyu made a downward gesture: "If others want to do this, you, Lao Cai, don't be so polite. Regarding your qualifications in the new army, I am not as good as Lao Cai. When you fight, you should use your brain more and not blindly emphasize fierce attacks. Many times, you should use your brain when fighting, find ways to find ways, be flexible and changeable, and the most important thing is to kill the enemy as much as possible at the lowest cost. You should pay special attention to this. Not only do you want to go back to Anjiang to reunite with your family, but in fact all the soldiers were raised by your parents."

Cai Juxian agreed noddedly,.

Various fortifications were completed very quickly, but the enemy was not seen appearing for a long time, so everyone was inevitably a little anxious.

On October 6, the Gui army, which had been watched by various units of the Xiangxi Army, finally drove out of Laibin City.
Chapter completed!
