Chapter 174: Youjiang March

Yang Shuai occupies Nanning, so south of the Hongshui River, Guilin and Liuzhou are basically out of reach. At this time, the Yunnan army had also returned to Yunnan, and at the same time, with Cai Yi staying in medicine and going abroad, Tang Jirao could not suppress the powerful faction in Yunnan at all. At this time, the two latest Yunnan powerhouses to rise are Long Yun and Lu Han.

"Long Yun and Lu Han are busy with the civil war and have no time to take care of themselves, as long as we don't enter Yunnan, we shouldn't encounter resistance from Yunnan. Therefore, the two of you enemies this time are only the small forces in Youjiang who do not obey Wanghua. Most of these people are local gentry and wealthy families, and their personal connections are very complicated, so I want to hear how you plan to fight this battle. ”

The two high-spirited young generals, in front of the same young but obviously different from their commanders, were respectful and listened carefully to Yang Shuai's orders.

At this time, Yang Shuai asked, and both of them knew that this might be the key to determining the coach. Zhang Lingpu and Huang Xuchu are not only the new regiment commanders, but both of them are from different brigade headquarters. It is impossible for the two of them to have a problem of who is bigger and who is small, and their battle is not only a question of their own future, but a question of the face of the brigade headquarters.

Just imagine, if two brigades each have a regiment, and then one of the regiments becomes the commander, then the brigade headquarters of the other regiment must have lost face. Is your own group inferior to others, and so on. The competition in the military is always there and fierce. This is the premise of maintaining the combat effectiveness of a unit, and if it is not competitive, where will the motivation come from.

The two of you look at me, I look at you, and neither of them took the lead in speaking. Yang Shuai looked at it and smiled, in fact, this time he felt that letting these two regiments that did not belong to each other attack Youjiang was also to see how these young regiment commanders were in the Third Army now.

At present, among the six ordinary regiments of Yang Shuai's Third Army, in addition to the two brigade commanders who each lead one regiment, there is also Liu Zuwu who is a little more experienced. The other Huang Xuchu, Zhang Zhizhong, and Zhang Lingpu are all young players, and in the final analysis, Yang Shuai is still short of talents. Fortunately, although Zhang Dabiao is also in his twenties, he himself is experienced in a hundred battles and has been carrying a gun for about ten years, so he is a veteran.

Yang Shuai: "Don't speak?" Well, I don't want to hear it yet, I just want the result. I tell you, I will not give you a single reinforcement on your expedition to the west. Whether you can take the Baise area and occupy the Youjiang region depends on your two regiments. In this way, according to intelligence, Youjiang's forces are intertwined and complicated, but recently I have probably heard that we are going to fight them, so they have also joined forces. Among them, Kawang is their leader, and the entire Youjiang has about 10,000 troops, which is more than you, but it is not as elite as you, and it is scattered. I'll give you a month to take Youjiang. ”

"The two of you, some of you are big and small, you have something to discuss, don't fight for merit. At that time, the military department will send you two representatives to be responsible for contact. ”

Representatives, as soon as the two of them heard it, they knew that these two representatives were not only responsible for contacting, but also similar to the grading teacher, and the performance of the two of them would be transmitted back to Yang Shuai without leakage.

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission."

The two walked out of the military headquarters, and Bai Zhuge said worriedly: "Commander, there is no commander here, will this be a problem?" Chief of Staff Lin Hu also said: "Yes, army commander, although there is no decent enemy in Youjiang, there are thousands of people, if there is an accident, it will be an absolute disaster for our Third Army, which has just completed the expansion." ”

Yang Shuai smiled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems." I just deliberately exaggerated the power of the enemy to scare them. The armed forces of less than 3,000 people in the entire Youjiang can be handled by one regiment, let alone two regiments now. If something really happens to them to tear each other down, then they don't deserve to be officers of my Third Army. Besides, I didn't arrange a staff officer for them, so it can be regarded as an insurance. ”

Bai Zhuge : "Okay, since the commander is so sure, then what else do we say." Commander, it's time to talk about the next moves. ”

Yang Shuai: "Hehe, what's next, what's next?" ”

Lin Hu smiled: "Commander, if it weren't for Zhuge reminding me, I would have been deceived by you." deliberately dismantled the two main brigades, but secretly ordered the remaining two regiments of Wang Jinsong's brigade to disperse and assemble in the mansion in the form of companies, and Zhang Dabiao, a big man, also moved to Kunlun Pass. Commander, if you want to say that you are not for the east, who will believe you? ”

Yang Shuai pointed at Bai Zhuge and Lin Hu: "You, you said you, ah, this old and young man is embarrassed, ah, hahahaha, I can't hide anything from you." ”

Zhang Zhizhong was originally a company commander under Yang Shuai to aid the Anhui Army, and Zhang Lingpu escaped with Yang Shuai, only Huang Xuchu, if it wasn't for the fact that he graduated from the same primary school as Bai Zhuge and became the battalion commander. has made contributions in front of Yang Shuai again, and has the opportunity to perform, but I am afraid that after this expansion, it will not be his turn to be the head of the regiment.

At this time, Zhang Lingpu and Huang Xuchu were both full of energy, wanting to work hard and perform well, especially Huang Xuchu. Li Zongren is now the deputy brigade commander, not to mention Bai Zhuge , he is definitely a cronie among Yang Shuai's cronies, and he can't lag behind.

The two walked out of the military headquarters, looked at each other, and laughed. Zhang Lingpu: "Tian Dong and Tian Yang, choose one." ”

Huang Xuchu reached out and took out a coin with a whitened head of Yuan Da on it: "The head is on top, I'll go to Tiandong, the head is on the bottom, you go to Tiandong." Everything is predestined, how's that? ”

Tiandong and Tianyang, one left and one right, stand in the south of Baise. It is the only place for Nanning to enter Baise. The investigation learned that now the forces of Youjiang have all shrunk back to the land of western Guangxi, and they have taken the small city of Baise as their base camp to stubbornly defend this important place where western Guangxi leads to Yunnan and goes north to Guizhou.

If you want to fight Baise, take Tian Dong and Tian Yang first.

Huang Xuchu held the coin in his left hand and threw it up. The coin flipped in the hole, and the speed of the flywheel was so fast that no one could see clearly. I saw Huang Xuchu's left hand flipped, slapped on top, stretched forward, and slapped his right hand down against the coin from top to bottom.

There is a "pop" sound, the hands are closed, the coin is already in the hand, like a shell, if you don't open it, don't want to know what's going on inside.

Huang Xuchu grinned and stretched out his hands in front of Zhang Lingpu: "Come on, Captain Zhang, the time to witness the miracle has come." ”

Zhang Lingpu snorted and smiled: "You are a trick, it's a miracle, open it." ”

Huang Xuchu's right hand was raised, and a smooth skull appeared in the palm of his left hand, Huang Xuchu smiled: "I'll go to Tiandong, you go to Tianyang." ”

Zhang Lingpu looked at it and didn't speak, Tian Dong and Tian Yang, in fact, there is not much difference, because they all know that the real battle is in Baise, and the two of them will definitely fight together at that time.

Huang Xuchu: "Lao Zhang, I must be faster than you, hehe, I'm waiting for you in Baise, don't let me wait too long, hahaha." ”

The corners of Zhang Lingpu's mouth raised, hum, still waiting for me, who is waiting for who doesn't know. He turned around and said, "Don't be the only one left with you." ”

Huang Xuchu was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, damn, there is only one person left, that is, I don't mean that the casualties are so big, damn.

Kawang is a Zhuang villager in Baise and is quite famous in western Guangxi. At the beginning of the National Defense Movement, Kawang provided a lot of support to the Western Expedition. Unexpectedly, the dragon light actually failed later. Li Liejun's army, which came out of Yunnan, was even more powerful all the way, directly along the Youjiang River, all the way down the looting.

Later, it became a borderland. Yang Shuai in Nanning will not be able to control it for a while, and the people in Guibei are even more powerless. At this time, Kawang's heart was hot, damn, it's not good for Lao Tzu to be a landowner. So they took out shotguns and bird cannons one after another to win over relatives and friends. In less than two months, a team of more than 1,000 people was raised, which can be regarded as a powerful Quartet. Although there are many people who don't accept him at all, in the Baise area, Kawang is also the number one.

Not long after the good days, Yang Shuai appointed a Baise county magistrate, who was directly driven away by Kawang. It was at this time that Kawang knew that he was going to face Yang Shuai's force. Sure enough, it didn't take long to learn that Yang Shuai's troops of more than 5,000 people had begun to gather in Longan, not for himself and others, so what the hell.

Kawang knew that his family was too strong to resist Yang Shuai. So they gathered the powerful factions nearby and joined forces against Yang Shuai. At the same time, the kobold military division also came up with an idea:

"Sir,"

"Smack-" "Called the general." ”

"Yes, General. General, I have a suggestion, now that we are short of guns, why don't we borrow a little to the west? ”

Kawang frowned, and the swarthy and sturdy man with a height of one meter seven raised his head: "West? You mean Tang Jirao? He's going to take care of our affairs here? Does he have the courage to turn his face with Yang Shuai? ”

The dog head grinned: "General, it's not Tang Jirao, it's Meng Zi." ”

Kawang was taken aback, and then rejoiced: "You mean Long Yun?" ”

Goutou: "Hehe, exactly, general, after Cai Ye went abroad, the 20,000 main forces in Yunnan have now been torn apart." Gu Pinzhen is in Sichuan, and Tang Jirao can't suppress his subordinates. Now that Long Yun is listening to himself and not listening to the announcement, there are already signs of self-determination as king. I think that if Long Yun wants to enter Yunnan, he must also hope for a strong reinforcement. If the general is justified as the envoy of Youjiang Town, isn't that Long Yun's strong reinforcement. ”

Kawang laughed and slapped his thigh: "Okay, okay, then you send someone, oh no, you go to Mengzi in person, and tell Long Yun that as long as he supports me to win this battle, I will be his ally of Long Yun in the future." ”

Meng Zi, Long Yun, smiled disdainfully, and said to his subordinates: "What is Kawang? I've never heard of it, and I want to be my reinforcement, it's funny. ”

Staff officer: "General, will the Guangxi Third Army march directly into Yunnan when it marches into Youjiang?" ”

Long Yun shook his head: "Impossible, there is no unification in Guangxi now, Lu Rongting and Liu Guxiang, Chen Bingkun and others are not eyeing each other, especially now that the Nanning region is developed, it is even more coveted, and it is impossible for Yang Shuai to give his back to others." In my opinion, Yang Shuai seems to want to stabilize his west side and unify Guangxi in the future, this young man has a great appetite, don't underestimate him. ”

Staff Officer: "What do we do now, General?" ”

Long Yun: "Just wait and see what happens, just ignore Kawang's request, and I won't help Yang Shuai, it's best that they both lose, so that I can rest assured." ”

Staff officer: "Yes, yes, general, as long as the east is commissioned, we can look at the direction of Kunming." General, send someone to contact your old classmate, General Lu Han, who has returned. ”

When Long Yun heard this, he was surprised: "Yes, hehe, let's go, see what to say." ”
