Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Historians of later generations have great disputes over the positioning of the Guangxi War. Some experts believe that the Guangxi War is part of the Second Revolution. Some scholars believe that the Guangxi War does not belong to the second revolution, because the second revolution in the true sense has been declared over since the moment Cai E’s army, the governor of Yunnan, entered Chongqing on September 9, and the Guangxi War is nothing more than a second revolution. A melee war between warlords has nothing to do with the so-called revolution. . .

However, there is one point that everyone does not dispute, that is, the ambush in Bangou marked the beginning of the era of melee between the democratic tyrants. . .

At the headquarters of the Third Division of the Xiangxi Tiger Army in Xianfengling, which is less than 1000 meters away from the front line, various staff members are busy passing various orders and reports back and forth, and changing the military situation expression signs on the simulated map.Li Zongren, the division commander, and Bai Chongxi, the chief of staff, both frowned and sat in the inner seats without saying a word while holding a pencil. Between them was a military map hand-painted jointly by the staff office and the military intelligence office. .

The combat effectiveness of the Gui army after being attacked by such a sudden ambush and fierce firepower is very amazing.Except for the 304th Regiment led by Li Pinxian, which successfully defeated the rear guard of the Gui Army, the 301st Regiment and the 302nd Regiment repeatedly attacked three times, but failed to defeat the strength of the Gui Army's first division headquarters and two regiments that were compressed into one regiment.This is not unusual in itself, Chen Bingkun is a famous Gui army warrior, and those who huddled together are all his main force, it is normal that such a tough bone is not easy to chew.However, in the area attacked by the 303 regiment, the Gui army, which was suddenly hit, launched a counter-charge. Although the scale was small, such an abnormal situation still attracted the attention of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.

After a long time, Li Zongren sat up straight, threw the pencil in his hand on the blueprint and said, "Brother Jiansheng, we are in big trouble now? Not only did the second regiment of the Guangxi Army not collapse, but it got along with Liao Lei and the others went all out to spend."

Bai Chongxi didn't make a sound, Li Zongren shook his head and said: "We must now concentrate all our advantages to attack the position where Chen Bingkun is, this is the focus of this ambush, otherwise our original plan to control the initiative on the battlefield will be compromised When we first made this plan, we underestimated the combat power of the Gui army. If it were our past opponents, not to mention an ambush, even if they failed in a head-on confrontation, they would collapse like chasing ducks. How could it be like it is now? , To be able to charge us back again, those who didn’t know thought we had run into Japanese soldiers.”

Bai Chongxi chuckled: "Brother Delin, don't be nervous. As the saying goes, elite soldiers come out of poor mountains and evil waters. Our place in Guangxi is already poor. There are not many ways for this man to survive. He can either be a soldier or a bandit. No matter which one he chooses, he will be cut by a knife." It's the day of licking blood, so it's not unusual to be able to fight well."

Li Zongren smiled wryly: "Then what should we do now? If we don't hurry up here, it will be troublesome if Wang Shuai blames it."

Bai Chongxi thought about it carefully: "Our original plan must be changed, and the battle will end in two hours? It is true that we underestimated the fighting power and fighting will of the Gui army. But it doesn't matter, I don't believe it. On such a terrain, they still How long will it last? As long as we tie up our entire pockets and pass in one night, we probably won’t have much fighting spirit. They won’t be able to get reinforcements anyway.”

Li Zongren asked back in surprise: "Although Chen Bingkun has a rough personality, he is also a man who knows how to fight. How can he not know your plan? What if he breaks through? What should we do?"

Bai Chongxi picked up the pencil that Li Zongren had thrown away before and said: "Breakout will only make him die faster. It really stands out. Let's follow behind and chase after last year. Human nature is that once there is a way out, running away will replace resistance." .In the pursuit battle, our mountain troops who often train may be even stronger."

Li Zongren shook his head and said: "Let's make preparations to overcome the strong enemy first. If we really let them run all over the mountain, it is estimated that many of these people will become bandits again. It will be very difficult to suppress them again. It's us Work hard now, so as not to have too much head and tail in the future."

Bai Chongxi smiled and said: "Brother, you are only 23 years old. You feel a little bit old anyway. The confrontation between the two armies is nothing more than killing words. Well, let's not talk so much, I will give an order and fight for it." Resolve the battle before dark."

"Rush, kill..." Nearly [-] Gui troops from the second regiment charged forward with bayonets in hand without any heavy fire support.Regardless of the ferocious firepower of the heavy machine guns of the Xiangxi army on the mountain, the actual lethality of the Gui army, which is agile and as sensitive as monkeys, can be said to be very limited.

Liao Lei got angry on the spot: "Damn, with just such a small number of people, you dare to play bayonets in front of me. A battalion commander gathers a team, puts up bayonets, and if you want to play, play an exciting game. Let these Guangxi monkeys see how powerful I am. .”

Our head Liao Lei actually forgot at this moment that he himself is from Guangxi.

Although the soldiers of the 303st Battalion of the [-]rd Regiment of the "Upper Bayonet" did not use this thing in actual combat, they still received strict relevant training as a training subject.Therefore, the movements were very simple. Following the command of the officers, everyone pulled out the bayonets from their waists, inserted them neatly under the rifles in their hands, and then entered the attack waiting state.

Liao Lei knew in his heart that training and actual combat were two different things. After all, in one-on-one assassination, psychological quality was more important than technical movements in many cases.But an army without bayonets is actually powerless, so Liao Lei gritted his teeth and gave the order to attack despite the possibility of being punished.

Following the officer's whistle, the five hundred warriors of the first battalion jumped up from the ground one after another, held their rifles, and shouted with all their strength: "Long live the tiger, long live Wang Shuai..."

Then the rows of bayonets shone brightly under the sunlight, and this light just shone into Gui Jun's eyes. It was such a dazed effort that the bayonets were ruthlessly inserted into the abdomen of the Gui Jun soldier. . .

Block, pull up, backstab, draw the gun.Huang Dehu couldn't remember how many times he repeated this set of actions. It would have been nice if Dumb was here, and he had nothing to fear.

It was also Liao Lei's luck that the group assigned to him was a group of recruits who had been punished at Base 803. These soldiers were known for their fighting spirit.

Although the Gui army also resisted fiercely, it was often the soldiers of the 303rd regiment here who had just stabbed a Gui army, and then a Gui army's bayonet was fiercely inserted into his waist.

Liao Lei had just received a verbal reprimand from the Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi through the orderly. Seeing the tragic white sword stand, Liao Lei, who was extremely wronged just now, threw away his military cap, picked up a rifle and shouted: "All charge..."

"Long live the tiger, long live Wang Shuai..."

Sometimes momentum is really important. The [-] Guangxi army mobilized by Huang Xuchu to fight back did not suffer in hand-to-hand combat, and even once had an advantage. The casualty ratio of the two sides was basically one to one.But when they saw nearly a thousand Xiangxi troops smashing down fiercely, almost every officer and soldier of the Guangxi army was seriously shaken in their will to fight.

At this time, the officers of the Gui Army finally remembered that Huang Xuchu was just a trainee officer, and he had listened to this kid's blind command just now.

Seeing the enemy in front of them suddenly collapsed like a stroke, the excited officers and soldiers of the Xiangxi Army immediately felt their legs light, their whole bodies relaxed, and their morale increased. The soldiers of the Gui army stabbed hard.

The Gui army, who was retreating slowly for a while, fell immediately, but as expected of the Guangxi monkeys, with such a thrust, the rest of the people immediately ran away, and they couldn't catch up no matter how hard they chased.

At this time, Huang Xuchu and Tao Jun, who were in charge of gathering the defeated soldiers on the spot, had only gathered less than 200 people, and many of them had lost their weapons and will to fight. Facing the nearly [-] Xiangxi troops rushing down like a tidal wave, this was nothing. It's just a drop in the bucket.

Huang Xuchu made a simple calculation, and shouted to Tao Jun: "Take your men and horses and follow me to meet the teacher, hurry up."

As for the head of the bearded regiment, although Huang Xuchu despises him as a human being, it is a taboo to leave the chief to escape on the battlefield, so Huang Xuchu waved his hand, and two soldiers went over to take the trembling bearded regiment leader away. As for what will happen after meeting Mr. Chen, whether he will be shot or acquitted, then don't care about him. . .

Chen Bingkun's life here is also not easy, because it is a long snake-like march, the entire army is stretched several kilometers long, and the command system is disrupted after encountering an enemy attack.Fortunately, the first division of his own is the foundation of the old and new army, and there is no way to escape in the river valley. After the initial chaos, Chen Bingkun gathered nearly two regiments of troops through the troops directly under the division around him.Then he captured a small hill in one fell swoop by relying on the small 2000 people. Unfortunately, before he had time to break through, the 301st and 302nd regiments took control of the surrounding hills. Chen Bingkun was immediately stuck and broke through three times in a row. None of them succeeded, and three or 400 people were lost.

However, because he successfully occupied a hill, now Chen Bingkun doesn't have to worry that his subordinates will be scattered by the Xiangxi Army's condescension. This is much luckier than that Huang Xuchu who fought bravely to seize military power.

In the second half of the first division of the Gui army, the fourth regiment composed of nearly a thousand Gui troops was not so lucky. At the beginning of the battle, they let Li Pinxian, the 304th regiment of the Xiangxi army, directly launch a charge, and they were rushed to pieces. Now it has become the end of the system.

Li Pinxian's style of play was also praised by Wang Zhenyu afterwards, and became a main feature of the Tiger Army's ambush operations in the future.After the firepower strike, there is a direct attack of hand-to-hand combat. The biggest feature of this style of play is that it does not even give the enemy a chance to take a breath, and achieves the predetermined strategic goal as quickly as possible through the double blow of psychology and physical strength.

At this moment, Li Pinxian is also proudly counting the seizures, so all these seizures will be handed over to the people in the Armament Department for handling. However, according to the regulations, combat materials such as ammunition and guns can be retained by the combat troops. Just report it to those bastards in Armaments.

At this time, the messenger ran over and handed the latest order from the division headquarters to Li Pinxian. Li Pinxian opened it and shouted loudly: "Leave a company in the first battalion to guard the prisoners and supplies, and the rest of the troops will gather immediately. Former support, hurry up if you don't want to spend the night in the valley..."
