Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Commander, this battle is different from the first battle in Changde. In terms of numbers, the enemy is twice as large as me; in terms of geographical location, we are in a disadvantageous situation of being besieged from all sides; so I have thought for a long time, and I feel that I want to win In this battle, we must first grasp the initiative on the battlefield; and in order to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, we must concentrate our superior forces and first defeat Chen Bingkun's Second Division of the Guangxi Army, which is behind us. Only by eliminating this worry Only then can we take advantage of the favorable terrain in front of Liuzhou to calmly meet the invading enemy."

Standing in front of the simple sand table made by the Liuzhou branch of the Military Intelligence Department, Bai Chongxi put forward his own combat ideas.

Wang Zhenyu and Xu Yuanquan exchanged glances briefly, and they both saw admiration in each other's eyes.

Xu Yuanquan put his hands on the edge of the sand table, and asked naturally: "Then brother Jiansheng, how can you destroy this Chen Bingkun's department? This person is not a fool. If you haven't received the news of the arrival of Lu Rongting's main force, what do you think he will do?" Will he walk out of Guilin County to die?"

Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "What Master Xu said is very true. I also think that Chen Bingkun may not dare to come out before the Gui army encircles and takes his position. If we attack by force, the more than 200 miles of mountain roads will make it difficult for our army to transport heavy weapons. There are many difficulties, which will eventually affect the mobility of our army. When we arrive in Guilin in a mighty way, it is estimated that Chen Bingkun is already ready to defend to the death!"

Wang Zhenyu was taken aback: "Then what is your plan?"

Bai Chongxi pointed at Luzhai County with a thin wooden pole: "My idea is very simple, that is, at the moment of encirclement, I will attack Chen Bingkun's department with all my strength here, and strive to wipe out this department and turn the tide of the battle."

Wang Zhenyu asked in a deep voice, "Jiansheng, how sure are you?"

Bai Chongxi shook his head and said: "It's hard to say that there is a certain degree of confidence in the battle, but in my opinion, as long as it is a coalition force, there will inevitably be inconsistency and lack of effort. As long as we deploy properly, we will try our best to make the enemy The ministries formed a time difference in the formation of the encirclement, and found a way to let Chen Bingkun's second division reach the predetermined position first, then the next step will be easy. In addition, I have a piece of information about the Guangxi Army's first division. , this information was made by the Liuzhou sub-station of the Military Intelligence Department. It is very detailed. The so-called First Division was formerly the battalions of the nine patrol battalions under Lu Rongting's command, with a total strength of no more than 5. The division commander Chen Bingkun is an old bandit who has followed Lu Rongting for many years Yes, the skill of fighting is very problematic. The equipment of this division is indeed good, but there are many problems, such as the morale is generally not high. Everyone knows that our Guangxi is a poor province. In addition to Lu Rongting's [-] horses, there are Mo Rong Xin, Chen Chaozheng, and Wei Changrong, these patrol troops, add up to almost [-] people. In the early Qing Dynasty, Guangxi raised [-] troops and needed the imperial court to pay for it from Guangdong. Now that the salary is gone, the number of troops has almost doubled , how to maintain it? Although Lu Rongting ransacked wantonly, most of the money from the raids was used to buy weapons. His army was basically paid [-]% of the salary, while we were paid full salary. So, where is the morale? No matter how low it is, it’s hard.”

[-]% of the salary?Wang Zhenyu was very shocked. He was on full pay, so he couldn't imagine how Lu Rongting maintained military discipline and combat effectiveness.Could it be that Lu Rongting is also a time traveler, who has used the model of the Soviet Red Army to control the Gui army through successful brainwashing.The level of ideological consciousness of the officers and soldiers of the Guangxi army must be much better than that of these ruffian soldiers under him.

Just as he was thinking, a staff officer came in, and after reporting the salute, he read aloud a new telegram from Nanning: "The Second Division of the Gui Army had a mutiny in Binyang County due to payment demands."

So it turned out that the confusion in Wang Zhenyu's heart disappeared immediately. He really thought that Gui Jun was his mother's eighth army. . .

Lu Rongting here is also very depressed, why did the mutiny happen when it was so good?How did Tan Haoming, the division commander, lead the soldiers?

In fact, Tan Haoming really can't be blamed, he has done his best, and the mutiny is completely caused by the [-]% salary.

The soldiers of the Gui army had been trained hard, and they couldn't eat enough or wear enough clothes. Marshal Lu didn't take the life and death of these soldiers seriously.Years of life as a bandit has made him develop a habit of thinking, that is, as long as he has a gun, he is not afraid of having no soldiers.So Lu Rongting spent all his money on the purchase of arms, and the expansion of personnel is imminent. As for the treatment of officers and soldiers, he has always planned to spend his time on improving the 01:30 point.

History has told us countless times: those who cannot keep up with the times are destined to be eliminated.

The army is a place with a strict hierarchy. Under the management model of level-by-level, they get [-]% of the salary on weekdays, and everyone can bear the hardships of life. After all, there is still [-]% of the salary.But it's different now, the commander asked us to go to the front line to fight, according to the old rules, we should make up the salary owed.This is also an important factor why military spending will automatically double every time there is a war in this era.However, our Marshal Lu is really busy with his affairs. He has considered all aspects of the dispatch of troops this time, but he has ignored the rule of repaying the arrears.

Is it really careless?No, it's really that the Governor's Mansion has no money. . .

"Wei Shuai, here is a bank deposit of [-] oceans. You can go to the Bank of China to collect it when you go out. After the matter is completed, we will give you another [-]. How is it? My family's handsome is comparable to that selfish and stingy Lu Dujun There are more people with sincerity.” The person who said this was Gong Peng, the station chief of the Guangxi Station of the Military Intelligence Department, and he was happily meeting Wei Changrong, the commander of the First Guangxi Patrol Army, and Chen Chaozheng, the commander of the Sixth Army, in the pavilion of Baihualou in Nanning. sitting in the room.

Wei Changrong glanced at the deposit ticket, but didn't take it. He glanced at Chen Chaozheng. This kid must have benefited, otherwise he wouldn't invite himself here. He is also in his fifties, has a family and a small family, and he dare not think about or touch many things. This ocean is a good thing, but if you can’t explain what it means, Wei will be ashamed to take it.”

Gong Peng naturally guessed the meaning, that is, he would not do things that were too risky.

What if the benefits are also great?

"Wei Shuai, Chen Shuai, there is something Gong has to say, not only for himself, but also for the two of you. The two are different from Lin Shuai, Long Shuai, and Mo Shuai. Governor Lu is different from them. It is one body. In the future, Guangxi will be unified, and all power and status will rise. But Wei Shuai and Chen Shuai are not. You two are not in the same way as Lu Dujun, and as far as I know, Wei Shuai, you are in the Guangxi army. His qualifications are not inferior to Lu Shuai at all. If Lu Shuai is really allowed to conquer Liuzhou and dominate the land of Bagui, I don't know what will happen to Wei Shuai and Chen Shuai?"

This Wei Changrong is indeed a person with some qualifications. When Su Yuanchun, the admiral of Guangxi, recruited bandits, he accepted the imperial court's recruitment together with Lu Rongting and Mo Rongxin.It's just that his personality is too violent and he doesn't know how to be a human being, so he didn't go as smoothly as Lu Rongting did, and he has always been unconvinced about this.Lu Rongting also knew this very well, so after the Ming Dynasty, Wei Changrong and his troops were arranged in Longzhou and became the border guards.

Wei Changrong is also an old Jianghu. After hearing Gong Peng's words, he immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "You guys from Hunan are here to sow discord. I won't tell you what Lu Dujun treats me and the government. What's your Wang Zhenyu thinking about us? I don’t know. If I helped you betray Marshal Lu today, we Guangxi people will have no way out if you unify Bagui in the future. So, save yourself! Chaozheng, let’s go!”

Gong Peng chuckled and said loudly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, you should have been the governor of Guangxi."

Wei Changrong, who walked to the door, turned around and said, "Gong, what do you mean by that?"

"Wei Shuai, if you can't make a deal, the friendship is there, so why are you angry? Besides, my family's general only plans the iron mines in Liuzhou and the coal mines in Laibin. He knows better than you what the situation in Bagui is. If you want money, you can't. The bandits have formed a nest, what do you think he wants to come for? If you have such a mind, it is better to go to Changsha. Don’t you want to know what our commander thinks?"

Wei Changrong thought for a while, then sat back and said, "Mr. Gong, Wei is a rough man, don't take it for granted, I really want to know what your handsome man thinks."

Gong Peng said to Wei Changrong and Chen Chaozheng: "My commander-in-chief doesn't need the defection. My commander-in-chief only needs the two troops to move slowly. Then when we get into a ball with Lu Rongting, I beg you two to take it." Nanning City. After the matter is completed, my family’s commander-in-chief only needs to use Liuzhou and Laibin to mine coal and iron ore. As for the governor of Guangxi, Wei Shuai is naturally, and the chief of civil affairs is of course Chen Shuai. Financially, we will help the two every year 200 million yuan is the rent for Liuzhou and Laibin. What do you two think of this condition?"

Wei Changrong and Chen Chaozheng looked at each other and said, "How can you guarantee that we can get what we want?"

"Haha, the two commanders are overwhelmed. At that time, Nanning will be in the hands of the two of you, and we will be the guest army. How can we go back on our word. The real worry is whether you two can hold the scene?" Gong Peng fully revealed himself His good eloquence when he was a hooligan made the two commanders move their index fingers.

In the end, Gong Peng still did not forget to say: "Whether you move or not is up to the two of you. We will not force it, because the opportunity is yours. We are just sharing some benefits. If the last two don't dare to take the risk It doesn’t matter if you are so rich, the ocean I gave is to make two friends for my commander in chief. Please feel free to accept this, it’s just a wish from my commander in chief.”

After speaking, Gong Peng left immediately. The so-called instigation of rebellion has reached this point, too much is too late.

After Gong Peng left, there was a long silence in the cabinet. After a long time, Chen Chaozheng asked in a low voice, "Brother, are we going to do it or not?"

Wei Changrong gritted his teeth when he thought about some of the past these years: "Fuck it, why not? Fuck it, tell the girl to come up, come up with two big tits and big butts, bro, I'm going to take a good beating today... "
