Li Hansoul's telegram became the last straw that crushed Chen Jitang. Seeing Li Hansoul's power, Chen Jitang was desperate, and he had already noticed the changes around him. And Li Hansoul is undoubtedly one of the people he trusts the most.

Now that Li Han's soul is gone, how can he resist the erosion of Nanjing?! For a while, Chen Jitang was disheartened and thought that it was better to go back.

On the same day, Yu Hanmou issued an ultimatum to Chen Jitang, asking Chen Jitang to leave Guangdong within 24 hours, and at the same time send troops to attack Guangzhou.

Bai Chongxi immediately telegraphed to Chen Jitang that the situation was critical, and advised Chen Jitang to quickly stabilize the morale of the army at any cost. But Chen Jitang was already dead set on everything at this time. He ignored the advice of Bai Chongxi and others, packed his bags and announced his departure.

On the 18th, after making proper arrangements for transitional government and military affairs, Chen Jitang went to Hong Kong and faded out of politics.

Chen Jitang's closest confidant, Chen Hanguangshi, was ordered by Chen Jitang to enter Gui, and attached hundreds of thousands of yuan in military expenses. However, Chen Hanguangshi was unwilling to enter Gui and was absorbed by Yu Hanmou's department, so far, Chen Jitang's power in Guangdong was uprooted, except for hundreds of thousands of military expenses owned by the Xingui family, all of which were taken over by Yu Hanmou.

Subsequently, Jiang Zhongzheng, who had gained the advantage, did not hesitate to attack the Gui system! Gu Zhutong led Xue Yue and other troops to advance from Guizhou, and Yu Hanmou, who replaced Chen Jitang as the king of Guangdong, advanced from the Leizhou Peninsula, Chen Cheng's troops went up the Xijiang River, and the Hunan He Jianxiang army spied on Guilin from the Hunan and Guizhou borders, and the situation of the new Gui system was critical!

"It's too much! This Chen Bonan does not have the demeanor of a revolutionary soldier! Guilin, Li Zongren's office saw this Gui boss scolding with a blue face.

"So you ran away, what?! Deserter! It's just a deserter!! ”

Li Zongren was scolding angrily, while Bai Chongxi beside him was silent. It wasn't until Li Zongren finished scolding that Bai Chongxi said in a deep voice: "De Lingong, now is not the time for us to scold him. We are not allowed to continue scolding, and the question now is: Jiang Zhongzheng's Nanjing government is coming at us! ”

Li Zongren heard the words of his "little Zhuge " and couldn't help but fall into silence. Gu Zhutong, Yu Hanmou, Chen Cheng, He Jian, etc. are not fuel-efficient lamps! Step by step. Fortunately, the brothers under his command are united, and they did not give Jiang Zhongzheng a loophole!

"For now, it's best for us to contact the ministries, especially the tigers in the three eastern provinces." Xiao Zhuge looked at Li Zongren and said in a deep voice: "On the other hand, we also have to prepare for the worst!" It's time for everyone below to mobilize! Otherwise, once the Central Army attacks, we will definitely be caught off guard! ”

Li Zongren also stopped scolding angrily. Listen carefully to Bai Chongxi's words. Nodding his head constantly, he knew that his deputy was indeed better than him in terms of strategy!

"Finally, it's about the Japanese instructors in our army!" Bai Chongxi took a deep breath and said to Li Zongren: "In this situation, it is better for us to dissociate ourselves from them. Otherwise, it's really hard to tell! ”

Now in the Gui department, there are a large number of Japanese military instructors! These were all specially invited by Bai Chongxi and others from Japan. And they're more Japanese, and they're actually doing some business.

Li Zongren They were not pedantic soldiers, they wanted to arm their troops with the rules and training methods of the Japanese army. At the same time, they also bought a batch of arms and a small number of planes from the Japanese.

Although the development is not as good as that of the three eastern provinces, the supply of basic weapons of the Gui system is also not bad. In 1931, Guangxi was completely dependent on foreign supplies of military equipment. Due to the shortage of foreign exchange and the pressure of the central government on foreign suppliers, and at the same time fearing a wartime blockade, the leadership of Guangxi decided to produce weapons and ammunition and the raw materials needed for the production on the mainland.

So far, Guangxi has been able to produce light and heavy machine guns, mortars, rifles, smokeless gunpowder, grenades, nitric acid and sulfuric acid. An aircraft assembly plant was built, larger than a similar plant owned by the central government.

Most of the machinery of the arsenal came from Czechoslovakia. After taking over the arsenal in 37, officials from the Nanjing government even said that two of them were better than those owned by the central government.

Although Guangxi can produce a large number of high-quality weapons and ammunition. Production was still insufficient to supply the needs of the general plan of the province in wartime. Li Pinxian later said that Guangxi had coal, iron, tungsten and other raw materials needed by heavy industry, but it was unable to fully exploit these resources because of a lack of sufficient funds.

When the Guangxi Expeditionary Force attacked in Shanghai in 1937. They wore gray coarse cloth uniforms, and this was not a glamorous army, but a well-equipped army with well-trained personnel. Their greatest weakness was the lack of heavy artillery and tanks.

In terms of the Air Force, the Guangxi Air Force currently has 65 American, British, and Japanese-made aircraft. A large part of the reason why Li Zongren and others had to come into contact with the Japanese was that there were really no talents.

Lin Weicheng, director of the Aviation Division, is only a Cantonese from the United States who has studied some civil aviation, and the fact is limited.

The rest of the backbone British National flight instructors and mechanics: Bai Lang (British Reserve Air Force Major), Ma Xun (British Reserve Air Force Captain), Raleigh (British Air Force Captain), Stephen (bombing tactics instructor), Stufen (maintenance engineer. Canadian) ...... Wait a minute.

These people are well paid and have the privilege of flying to Hong Kong for weekends every week, but their skills are mediocre. As a result, the air force of the Gui department could not learn anything at all.

The situation did not change until they got in touch with Japan and were replaced by instructors sent by the Japanese. Of course, those who don't have a mind to teach are naturally expelled.

Those who are now teaching the Air Force in the Katsura Department are: Sato Shosa (tactical instructor), Konishi Juncao (tactical instructor). Captain Kato (Scouting Instructor), Guncho Eguchi (Scouting Instructor), Mitani (Mechanic...... Wait.

In any case, at least compared to Lin Weicheng and others, Japanese coaches have good basic skills and work more seriously. The Gui Air Force has learned a lot from them.

However, Lin Weicheng was bought by the Nanjing government and went to Nanjing with a training plane.

At present, the Gui system has more than 20 Yavian two-seat training aircraft, 6 Ji's two-seat intermediate training aircraft, 5 Ephron two-seat advanced training aircraft, 3 Aras reconnaissance and bombing dual-purpose aircraft, 4 Woba light bombers, and 2 Armstrong destroyers.

And Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's car is a French-made "wind speed" travel plane, and there is only one one.

In addition, the Gui department purchased 12 Type 91 fighters and 2 Type 92 reconnaissance planes from the Japanese, and at the same time assembled 10 fighters called "Type A-4" old reconnaissance planes from World War I.

Although it can't be compared with the Wehrmacht, it is also a local hegemon! This is also Li Zongren's confidence to dare to deal with the Nanjing government.

"Jiansheng...... I'm so unwilling! Li Zongren was silent for a while, and then said to Bai Chongxi: "We finally bought such things from the Japanese, and it's not cost-effective to break them now......

Bai Chongxi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said to Li Zongren: "De Lingong, this is also something that can be helped. We were originally under the banner of anti-Japanese resistance, if we still can't get along with the Japanese, then we will also accuse Nanjing! ”

Li Zongren could only sigh deeply when he heard this.

On the second day, the Gui Department immediately mobilized the province's reserve troops to prepare for the battle with the militia system, and the formed army expanded its strength to 44 regiments, and there were still nearly 100,000 local militia regiments!

At that time, the total strength of the Gui system reached about 200,000 troops, and they were concentrated on the border to defend the danger. At the same time, in order to win the support of public opinion, at the same time, it was announced that all Japanese instructors and advisers in the Gui Army would be expelled!

Because the Xingui faction was different from the Cantonese faction, and the centripetal force of the group organization with Li and Bai as the core was very stable, Jiang Zhongzheng's bribery and differentiation of the Xingui faction was unsuccessful, and there were no military and political figures in the Xingui faction who threw themselves into Jiang Zhongzheng.

The situation in Liangguang has changed, not only the two are affected, but even Longyun in Yunnan is also nervous! This Nanjing method can not be described as ruthless! In one breath, Chen Jitang, a veteran, was put into the wild!

Even the once huge Cantonese system, the cornerstone of the revolution, fell apart! Although on the surface, Yu Hanmou is the core of the current Cantonese system, but the name is not right, and the current Cantonese system is no longer a threat.

This is not good news for Long Yun and the others, if the Gui family is also leveled by the Nanjing government, what will happen to them, who are not as good as the Gui family? ! There is no doubt that they will be cleaned up!

"Daddy! We can't just look at it! If they are all cleaned up, we won't be able to leave anything to go! In Long Yun's family, his fourth son, Long Rope, once said to his father urgently.

Long Yun's family has seven children, except for the youngest daughter Long Guobi, the remaining six sons are all ranked by the word "rope", such as dragon rope martial arts, dragon rope ancestors, etc., and the dragon rope that spoke was a black sheep in the family.

His brothers are all studying abroad, and the above two brothers have studied at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France, but they came to him, not only have they never gone abroad, but they are also evaluated as "special personalities", which means that he likes to mix in folk gangs and is famous among the gangs in the southwest.

And his eldest brother Long Shenwu has an even worse evaluation of him, saying that he "doesn't do his job, plays all day long, interacts with the underworld, and has a disordered life." "Some other historical sources, although there have been mixed reviews of the dragon rope, but the same thing is the same: he has great prestige among the Yunnan gangsters and is an unusual figure in the family.

"Don't be impatient!" Long Yun, who was wearing round-framed glasses, said in a deep voice to his fourth son: "Let's listen to your brothers' thoughts first, how can you become a big deal if you are so frizzy?!" ”

Long Rope was reprimanded by his own father like this, so he stopped squeaking. Although he is fooling around outside, he is still very obedient to his father at home. (To be continued)
