Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Lu Rongting was so vicious that his subordinates would rather face the enemy's bullets than face the old man's angry face.

On October 10, the battle broke out, and the combat effectiveness of the Gui army was perfectly reflected in the mountain battle. The officers and soldiers of the first division were desperate, and they fought repeatedly with the Gui army on every hill.

However, Gui Jun's characteristics of being good at climbing and not fearing death have been perfectly reflected in this battle for the top of the mountain.

Despite the large-scale crossfire and key strikes set up in accordance with the military training model

"What, lost, what happened to your company, a high ground was lost without holding up for two hours!" Cai Juxian roared angrily at the defeated company commander. At this moment, he wished to shoot the weak company commander long.

"Report, order from the regiment headquarters" the orderly saved the poor company commander's life.

Cai Juxian looked back at the messenger, calmed down the anger in his chest slightly and said, "Read."

Only then did the surrounding officers and soldiers breathe a sigh of relief. This Battalion Commander Cai was usually fine, but this time he became very angry when he took action, and would kill people at every turn.

"The regimental commander ordered our battalion to retreat in a planned way, not to allow too many casualties, and to injure the enemy as much as possible, especially to injure rather than kill." new order.

Cai Juxian spun twice on the spot with his hands behind his back, and came to a very important conclusion: "The commander of the doll above is too bad, what is wounding instead of killing, it is obviously deliberately creating enemy wounded, indirectly weakening the enemy's vitality , and at the same time directly hit the morale of the enemy. This educated person is just bad. No wonder he can be the commander of the regiment."

In this way, the 101st regiment, which was responsible for the first-line blocking mission, started a tug-of-war from hill to hill.

Lu Rongting was on the front line to supervise the battle. The Guangxi army participated in the first wave of attacks by the troops of Long Jinguang and Song Anshu, and the second wave was the troops of Mo Rongxin and Lin Junting, and Lu Rongting's direct line was at the back. .

Here it is said that Lu Rongting has no intention of saving his strength to consume his allies. It is estimated that our Warlord Lu and Marshal Lu himself will not believe it.Although they are all Guijun, and even though the palms and backs of the hands are the same, the flesh on the palms and backs of his hands is not the same thickness after all.

Although Long Jinguang and Song Anshu seemed to have no emotion at all, they carried out Lu Rongting's unreasonable order meticulously, and the Xiangxi Army's conscious and continuous retreat did not cause too many casualties, but cracks appeared just like this.

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 to the top of the [-] unnamed heights from three sides, but when the officer leading the team rushed into the empty position, he could only sigh: "This time, Commander Lu's good wine and meat are all wasted .”
