Chapter 13: The Battle of Guangxi

Chen Fangzheng was extremely excited when he saw the God of War fleet designed for him by the little prince, which was also his dream for many years, dreaming of a powerful naval fleet to dominate the South China Sea.

Chen Zhong knew that this plan to purchase the fleet would definitely make this loyal admiral excited.

Chen Fangzheng tried to calm his mood and asked, "Little Wangye, when will this plan be implemented?" ”

"This plan has been in place for half a year. It was my father who sent someone to negotiate with the Ukrainian military about the order as early as three years ago, but later, I added another aircraft carrier, fifty carrier-based aviation fighters, fortunately, when I added it, the aircraft carrier had already been built to test the water, and now these ships are already on the way, I think, in three months, you should be able to command your new fleet. So, go back this time, recruit people as soon as possible, and expand the army! ”

Chen Fangzheng was really pleasantly surprised today, and every cell in his body smiled at the thought that he would soon be able to command a huge super-first-class fleet.

"However, there is still an important military mission that requires your participation. Your current fleet, quickly replenish supplies and equipment, and participate in the Battle of Guangxi with me, in this battle, I will completely annihilate the Qing court's nearly 200,000 troops and completely control the Liangguang region. In this battle, I will call on the six helicopters of your department, and in addition, prepare your fleet artillery with enough shells, and at that time, I will force these hundreds of thousands of troops to the shore of the Gulf of Tonkin, and you will bombard me with artillery. However, try to bomb these armies around them, kill fewer people, and force them to surrender, and I will collect these Qing troops and reorganize them,"

"Yes, little prince, I won't delay the time, go back and prepare immediately."

"Wait, and General Chen, you have to pay close attention to the movements of the British, Portuguese, and Japanese fleets in the south and east of Hainan, especially the Japanese fleet. I have transferred troops in Guangdong to contain the British and Portuguese armies, only Japan, you need to strictly monitor, in case of attack, resolutely attack, I will fight, and the war will be won! ”

"Yes! Humble and resolutely fulfill the mission! ”

"General Chen! Your helicopter will arrive in Yulin tomorrow night, and I have already ordered someone to quickly build the tarmac. ”

"Yes!"

"Blade, is there any change in Hainan Island now?"

"Report! Zhou Zhiguang has rarely made any moves recently, but according to the eyeliner I planted, recently, several Dongying people have often been in and out of General Zhou's mansion. In addition, the Japanese fleet in the Taiwan Strait also seems to have made some changes. ”

"As expected! This eats inside and out! A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chen Zhong's eyes. Then he asked, "How is my father doing?" ”

"It is said that the physical condition is not too optimistic."

"Oh, I see, you guys go and get ready."

"Yes!" Chen Fangzheng and Dao Feng withdrew from the Great General's Mansion and rushed towards the Beibu Gulf.

On the second day, in the military hall of the Yulin General's Palace, the commanders of the four major military regions of the First Group Army sat and senior officers at and above the army level.

Chen Zhong pointed to the military map of Guangxi and said: "Generals, our army has gradually matured after the first battle of Yulin, and now, our army has expanded from less than 40,000 people to 200,000 people, and you have now become veritable local tyrants."

This time, the battle of Yulin has trained our army's will to fight back in the most dangerous situation. Only the will to fight resolutely to the end can cast an iron-like army of Mount Tai, and only an army like a mountain can guarantee our imperial dream of conquering everything!

Now, the battle situation in Guangxi is clear at a glance, and the Qing court has gathered nearly 200,000 elites to approach Guangxi. The peasant rebel army in Guangxi, Lu Yafa in Liuzhou in the north, and Liu Duan in Nanning in the west, although they claimed to have 100,000 troops, in fact, their real combat strength was less than 30,000. We should help. ”

At this time, some generals in the audience said: "We shouldn't save these guys, in our battle of Yulin, we fought so hard, and we didn't save them when we died, it's too selfish." This time the army pressed the border, and it also gave them a taste of being beaten! ”

"That's right! Can't save them! When they are both defeated, we will strike again, so that we can not wait for work? ”

……

There are more and more discussions below, because they are really unwilling to help these guys, before the battle of Yulin, these generals personally experienced the struggle of life and death, but the rebel army in these two places sat on the shore and watched the fire, at this moment, the Qing army was approaching Nanning and Liuzhou, of course, they were unwilling to help them.

Chen Zhong understands their feelings very well, and logically speaking, he shouldn't help them. However, from a moral point of view, it is necessary to send troops to help. One is out of the avenue, the other is out of the battle situation, this battle must be shot!

Chen Zhong made a quiet gesture and said: "Please be quiet, generals, our army is a righteous army, and we should be broad-minded, regardless of past suspicions, and proceed from the overall situation of the whole of China and Guangxi, therefore, we should participate in this battle of Guangxi!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers said in unison, sitting at the table and listening to Chen Zhong's strategic layout.

Chen Zhong pointed to the map and said: "Yang Tianlong's Eighth Army, a roundabout lightning attack on Baise, stationed your army in the west and northwest of Guangxi, one is to block the Qing army from Yunnan Lin Shaonian, and at the same time watch the 80,000 garrison in Nanning."

The First Army of Qi Gang, the First Division of Xuyang of your department will rush to Guilin tomorrow night, Guilin is the rear of the Qing army, with 50,000 defenders. I will call in six transport planes to cooperate with your troops, and the remaining three divisions will guard Yulin.

In addition, Ling Zhan's reinforced division of Shen Juncai's 10th Army, Zhan Hongjiang's heavy weapons division, and Liu Zhi's 3rd division set out from Yulin and penetrated directly between Liuzhou and Guilin, cutting off the transportation line between Nanning and Guilin. Later, he went to Guilin to join up with the Xuyang Department and defend Guilin. The rest of Xu Liang's Fourth Division was stationed outside the city of Nanning, only guarding and not attacking.

The Yellow Label Department of the 19th Army retreated to Beihai and sealed the southeast gap as the second echelon for the attack on Nanning.

Ladies and gentlemen, the battle of Guangxi is very important, this is a big battle, this battle, the elite of the Qing army will gather seven provinces to suppress Guangxi, the momentum is fierce, if it fails, not only the two Guangxi are not guaranteed, Hainan is also in danger, it will be difficult for us to have a foothold!

The main purpose of this deployment of our army is to push the nearly 200,000 Qing troops into our pockets and shrink them in the open coastal area of the Beibu Gulf to be completely annihilated!

After taking Guilin in the north, Xuyang and Shen Juncai broke through to the south, encircled with the Eighth Army in Liuzhou, and forced its remnants to Nanning, and the garrison outside Nanning and the Yulin garrison pulled up the eastern defense line and connected with the Nineteenth Army in a line, so that the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops became the turtle in the urn, and when these Qing troops were forced to the Beibu Gulf, the heavy artillery of our 100,000 elite ships could be smashed like a target. At this point, the Battle of Guangxi will end with the complete victory of our army. ”

In the military conference hall, after listening to Chen Zhong's strategic thinking and the deployment of the army, all the generals were full of emotions and their morale was unprecedented!
