"Damn, Lu Rongting's turtle grandson, he has occupied Guilin for so many years, and it's time to move his nest." Shen Hongying put down the binoculars and threw them to the adjutant next to him.

His life is not simple, he has been a bandit in the green forest, and he has robbed money and food women. I have participated in the revolution and fought Sun Yat-sen, and now I want to taste the taste of dominating a province. "It's really a few eggs, it's been a day, and I haven't broken a few sections of the wall."

"Commander, brothers have been fighting hard. Lu Rongting's precious son had just been killed in the morning, and now the enemies of the small division in the city are all screaming and trying to fight out. The adjutant took out a carefully folded handkerchief and bent down to wipe a little mud off Shen Hongying's boots.

"Lu Rongting, the egg supervisor, dreams of occupying Guangdong all day long, I'm sorry, just because he deserves it? The dog said, I don't know where to get so many guns and make an elite division. ”

Shen Hongying lifted his foot in satisfaction. He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Lu Rongting to send Han Caifeng and others to lead his troops to attack Li Zongren to raid Guilin, thinking that he would be able to trample Lu Rongting under his feet in two days at most, who knew that he actually hid a division in the city. The old man shrank his head and suddenly became a turtle. "No, if it drags on any longer, not to mention the help of the old turtle's subordinates, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, the two egg men from the small platoon commanders, will definitely come to fight the autumn wind......"

The suspicious Shen Hongying suddenly made up his mind that he must attack Guilin as quickly as possible at any cost. "Gather troops for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will organize death squads."

Shen Hongying is about to make a trick, every time he can't attack the fortification, he will carry out his own ocean and choose the death squad there.

Soon, a brigade that had just retreated from the line of fire was called up by him. Shen Hongying stood on the hillside with two large boxes at his feet. Kicked it with both feet, and the lid of the box was suddenly kicked away, revealing the ocean inside, and the eyes of the soldiers below were straight.

"All look at the eggs, those who have the courage to stand up for Lao Tzu, take 2 for each person, and attack the city, Lao Tzu will reward 5 oceans for one person, and the first one to rush in, Lao Tzu will reward 200 oceans." Shen Hongying has no culture, but he knows how to win people's hearts and boost morale.

Strictly speaking, half of Shen Hongying's subordinates are bandits, and the remaining half are like soldiers. In less than five minutes, more than 500 people stood in the open space on the left. This kind of trick has been played a lot, and the subordinates know that they are lining up to lead the ocean.

As soon as it got dark, Shen Hongying's troops who were besieging the city launched a fierce attack from several directions at the same time.

Because the city wall is in disrepair, the city wall of Guilin is much worse than other big cities, and there are many places that have collapsed, and the Gui army in the city can only use the city wall to defend section by section, and they do not even have the ability to counterattack. It's not that the 5,000-strong new editor can't fight, but as soon as he leaves the city, the other party only needs to dispatch a maximum of more than 10,000 people to contain the new editor, and then the others rush into Guilin leisurely and loot.

Lu Rongting took Lu Yunlun, and the two fathers and sons stayed on the frontline positions all night without sleeping, inspecting every key point of defense. As soon as it was dark, it was time for dinner, when several shells flew from a distance, exploding on the city walls or in the houses in the city, and Shen attacked again.

"Let the departments must hold to the death, and shoot me directly if they retreat."

The situation was critical, and Lu Rongting couldn't even go to his eldest son's mourning hall, enduring the pain of losing his son, and commanded the defensive battle of Guilin.

"Dashuai, the old bridge in the north is almost unstoppable." A blackened company commander with a smoky face rushed to Lu Rongting's temporary headquarters like a burning buttocks, "Shen Hongying, that dog, attack everywhere, the brothers are exhausted, and they can't stop it." ”

"Yunlun, you go back immediately and ask your mother to bring me the 20,000 oceans at home, Lao Tzu will personally organize a death squad today." Lu Rongting knew that the situation was already very critical, and it would be better if Shen only had 10,000 people. But Shen Hongying, who claims to be 40,000 people, has a full 20,000 guns, especially at night, if he doesn't organize a death squad, Shen Hongying's death squad will rush in. He couldn't know the tricks of this righteous brother best. "Chief of Staff, you go and find me all the people in the city who can shoot guns, 10 oceans per person, defend the city, and Lao Tzu will have a heavy reward."

The death of his son and Shen Hongying's ferocity finally aroused Lu Rongting's fighting spirit, and even death could not let Shen Hongying occupy Guilin.

"Bang! Bang......"

"Da Da Da ......"

At a section of the city wall south of Guilin City, the originally sparse gunfire suddenly became rapid, and a platoon of troops of the defending army was pressed by the heavy machine gun bullets fired in the night behind the pile of sacks, not daring to move.

"Those who are not afraid of death are given to Lao Tzu, 200 oceans, it is Lao Tzu."

Under the leadership of several platoon commanders, Shen Hongying's death squad finally began to charge, and under the condition of firing in all directions, they chose a remote place to break through at night. I have to say that Shen Hongying has grown some skills from the green forest to the revolution, and then to the present.

The heavy firepower of the Shen Department is very small, and the heavy firepower of 20,000 guns is about the same as that of the newly formed first division in the city.

After Lu Rongting got 3,000 rifles, he bought a considerable number of Huaxia-style rifles and heavy machine guns from Zhang Shusheng to support the façade, and only then did he form a new elite division. However, under the premise that the number of people was doubled, the training was poor, the combat methods were stiff, and the defenders did not dare to charge due to the restrictions of the terrain, Lu Rongting could only take defensive operations against Shen Hongying.

This small section of the southern city wall immediately attracted a company of the newly formed first division of the Gui army, and after the heavy machine guns were erected, they did not need to aim, but strafed the front. The darkness of the night reduced the power of the heavy machine guns, and it was impossible to suppress the Shen death squad, which was four or five times the number of defenders, and this section of the city wall was in danger again.

"Report, a large number of death squads were found on the southern city wall." An orderly ran to report.

Lu Rongting raised his pistol, two shots into the sky, and then shouted at the more than 300 daredevils who had been prepared in front of him: "Except for what was sent just now, as long as it is a life-threatening rush, after coming back, Lao Tzu will send another 50 oceans each!" ”

More than 300 death squads were stimulated by the ocean, and the crowd was excited, and under Lu Rongting's order, more than 300 death squads with guns and ammunition and machetes rushed forward in the darkness of the night.

A night of bloody fighting...... The next day, the entire city of Guilin close to the city wall, everywhere is the ruins and broken walls after the all-night fire, a night of bloody battles, countless casualties, often a section of the city wall, several houses have to fight over and over again. The two sides organized three death squads, and in the end, only more than 200 people survived on each side, and all of them were wounded.

From the onslaught at the beginning, the two sides gradually fell into a standoff. Soon, in the newspapers of northern and southern China, such reports began to appear: the Gui army was infighting, and there were many great battles, and countless casualties were killed.

In the report, Shen Hongying is a master who integrates the signboards of the green forest, the revolutionary party, bandits, and local warlords, and Lu Rongting is also a set of orphans, beggars, thieves, bandits, and warlords.

For nearly a week, the battle in Guilin did not end, during which Lu Rongting's subordinates Han Caifeng and Chen Shuxun returned to Guilin, but they were ambushed by Shen Hongying's troops, and the remaining more than 3,000 people broke into Guilin, forming a new round of confrontation. In order to collect enough food, the small counties and towns around Guilin were poisoned by Shen Hongying, as if they had been combed with a comb.

Lu Rongting looked at the large area of houses that had been burned down by artillery fire and Shen Hongying's night attack, and he only felt pain in his heart. After losing his son, he was unprecedentedly concerned about the lives of these ordinary people. After the death of his son and the tug-of-war for a period of time, he gradually understood a truth that he had never thought of before: it turned out that it was not easy to survive in this troubled world. It doesn't matter if you're the son of a handsome man or a country farmer, there will always be this person, or that person, who will jump out and kill you with one shot.

I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world!!

"Did Dongchuan call back?"

"Father, brother-in-law asked us to rely on the second batch of munitions to hold on for a few more days, and a brigade of Dongchuan Army will arrive soon."

―――――――――――― "The traffic in Guangxi is really worse than imagined! If it weren't for the army commander's arrangement, such a delay, in case Lu Rongting couldn't stop Shen Hongying, Guilin would be finished. ”

After getting out of the car and walking to the mountain, Chen Jun, the commander of the Second Brigade, looked in the direction of Guilin and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

On the mountain was the Second Reserve Brigade that decided to camp and wait for the battle in the Ming Dynasty, and the Second Brigade of the Consolidated Brigade, which he commanded and was going to Guilin in the morning. Unlike the warlord troops, Chen Jun could easily see the face of every soldier as long as he picked up the binoculars, showing a desire for battle, and even some recruits were full of anticipation for the upcoming battle under the boasting of the old soldiers.

It had been six days since the troops set out from Aizawa, but the traffic in the southwest was so poor that the troops and baggage were transported by more than 200 five-ton trucks from the militia group, which already accounted for 30 percent of the total number of trucks of the militia group.

Although the production line of trucks was installed before the production line of small cars, for most of the year, for the sake of transportation and trade, the militia tightened their belts and tried their best to assemble only a few hundred vehicles, compared with the United States, which can reach the scale of producing more than 1 million cars a year, the current scale of automobile production of the militia is only a small fight in the mountain col.

The marching route of the troops was along the direction of Qujing-Baise, and the roads in this direction could lead directly to Fangchenggang, and the original county-level roads were connected into a line at the expense of the Shusheng Company, and finally built into a simple highway. After passing Baise, in order to avoid the enemy army in Nanning, the first brigade of the reserve commanded by Chu Shiwen was left behind, and the troops again detoured to Guilin via Liuzhou.

After passing Liuzhou, the troops finally arrived at Yongfu County, and the next marching target was Guilin.

Jiang Baili smiled confidently and said: "Brigade Commander Chen, rest assured, the commander can be the commander of an army, naturally it is not in vain." The 3,000 rifles, 100 heavy machine guns, and enough ammunition that had been stockpiled in the city of Guilin were not decorations. Lu Rongting is now more than self-preservation, and he has no way to retreat from the enemy. ”

"If you change someone else, I'm afraid that the commander is ruthless." Chen Jun has commanded the Second Brigade over the years, and the whole person has gradually possessed the ability to stand alone, whether it is the battle of Xundian or peacetime training, the Second Brigade led by him has performed very well. Therefore, the 2nd Brigade was selected as the main force of this Guilin operation. In his opinion, the military commander acted wisely, and although he used a little means, Lu Rongting, who had just received this batch of arms at this time, could not care about these grievances for a long time.

Jiang Baili understood the meaning of Chen Jun's words, and said, "The military commander is very clear about small things, although the Lu family is half of his in-laws, he will not forget his public affairs for personal gain. ”

"Chief of Staff, you have more experience than me, in your opinion, what kind of person is the military commander?"

"Then in the eyes of Brigade Commander Chen, what kind of person is Commander Zhang?" Jiang Baili is an elegant scholar, although he is not enough to command an army of millions, but he is also resourceful, especially on some big issues and strategic issues, his vision and depth are not comparable to Chen Jun, "Commander Zhang is a person who has the world in mind. ”

"I wish there was a day." Chen Jun looked at the sunset and whispered to himself. "In my opinion, the military commander is a person who can make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment."

Jiang Baili nodded, if it weren't for Zhang Shusheng's great ambition and great wisdom, how would he join the militia. In his opinion, there are dozens or hundreds of warlords in China, but what can really achieve great things is not the north of South Africa, not the southern artillery or the northern artillery, but it can only be this Commander Zhang of the hidden dragon in the abyss, "Brigade Commander Chen, I will lead the second brigade of the reserve division to block Li Zongren here, and Guilin will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry, if you can't take Shen Hongying, I, Chen Jun, will ask Chief of Staff Jiang to bring this useless head back." Chen Jun clenched his fists, the opportunity he had been looking forward to for so many years had finally come, an opportunity to be able to read and fight, prove the second brigade, and prove himself to the commander of the army. He wants the teacher to know that he will be his best student.

Jiang Baili nodded approvingly, he took a fancy to Chen Jun's wolf-like surname, this person had a paranoid ruthlessness, and he was very hopeful of bringing out an iron army.

He is not necessarily the most talented person in military affairs among the senior commanders of the militia regiment, but he must be one of the most diligent people, not only an outstanding graduate of the first phase of the Huaxia Military Academy, but also self-study for many years, spending a lot of time on those esoteric military theory books in the library, and the number of times he asked himself for advice alone is too much to remember.

Jiang Baili looked into the distance, tomorrow's battle will be fought in three places at the same time, in addition to his own blocking Li Zongren in Yongfu County, Chu Shiwen will also launch an attack in Nanning, three places will be fought at the same time, success or failure in one fell swoop. As long as the first phase of the battle plan goes smoothly, Guangxi will not be able to escape the palm of the army commander.

I don't know when, Jiang Baili, who is always known as a military master, also has a strange almost adoring idea of following Zhang Shusheng, and always wants to follow him to do something big for the benefit of the country and the people.

Maybe it's because he can always create miracles, this is the answer Jiang Baili got from Cai Yi.

"Tomorrow, the whole of China will realize that there is another warlord named Zhang Shusheng in the southwest."
