Liu Zhi put all the results of the battle of Xiyunfeng into his own pocket, but the 19th Group Army, which paid a huge price for the victory of the battle, did not mention a word, whether it was Guo Huawen or Chi Zifeng, they were all kept in the dark.

In his capacity as chairman of the Military Commission, Chairman Chiang not only issued an order to the whole army to commend Liu Zhi's merits, but also praised Liu Zhi as a contemporary martial artist who was reborn from scratch, and could be called a model of a first-class general and a model of revolutionary soldiers.

In addition to the commendation on the pen and ink, Liu Zhi was also awarded a medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun, and all the officers and soldiers of the East Route Army were rewarded with 500,000 yuan, and all the officers and soldiers who made meritorious contributions in this battle were rewarded separately by Liu Zhi, and for a time, Liu Zhi attracted much attention and was favored, and his name spread among the Central Army and the Japanese army, so that it attracted the attention of the Japanese military intelligence organs, and a special organization was set up for Liu Zhi.

I don't know if Liu Zhi will break out in a cold sweat again when he learns that the Japanese are paying special attention to him, anyway, the bonuses of the Nationalist Government all fell into his own pocket, and the list of meritorious personnel is all from the 11th Group Army stationed in Majiang, as for Guo Huawen's 19th Group Army, he didn't even know Chairman Jiang's commendation order at all, Liu Zhi detained him, no matter how thick-skinned and brazen he was, he couldn't play so blatantly, Liu Zhi was smart, and he couldn't do things that were angry with the public.

Of course, the commendation order was issued, and now Dayang has given it, Chairman Jiang did not let Liu Zhi lie on the merit book and enjoy the blessings, he then gave Liu Zhi an order to let the Eastern Route Army make persistent efforts to annihilate the 15th Army under the Japanese Chief Mountain under Duyun City. Break the three-way offensive posture of the Japanese army and support the battlefields of the middle and western routes.

Liu Zhi received the order, and he also telegraphed back, vowing that he would definitely follow the order of the commission, but after that, he did not move. There is a reason why there is no reinforcement to Duyun at all. The 11th Group Army stationed in Majiang was his descendant unit, and he was reluctant to go to Duyun to fight with the Japanese army.

And Guo Huawen's 19th Group Army is the child raised by his stepmother, even if it is exhausted. Liu Zhi was not distressed, besides, Commander-in-Chief Liu Zhi still hated Guo Huawen in his heart, and later, the chief of staff of the Eastern Route Army felt that this matter was a bit excessive. If it is not easy to get exposed, Guo Huawen will fight the lawsuit in front of Chairman Jiang, and his face with Liu Zhi will not look good.

persuaded Liu Zhi and agreed to Guo Huawen's request. The chief of staff thought carefully about transferring the heavy artillery regiment of the Eleventh Group Army to him, Guo Huawen couldn't stand it, and lost it, and Liu Zhi couldn't pick up a little cheap, after all, it was under his command, and Liu Zhi was right to think about it. Can't just be cheap Guo Huawen, Liu Zhi suddenly had a whim. He was going to Duyun to inspect the defense, which confirmed the fact that he was personally on the front line to command.

When the time comes. No matter what Guo Huawen says, he can't overturn this fact, the chief of staff is really impressed, or how can he say that Commander-in-Chief Liu can sit in such a high position, it is another means, simply, the chief of staff will come to the icing on the cake, and invite reporters from the Central Daily from Chongqing all the way to follow Commander-in-Chief Liu to the front line in Duyun.

Liu Zhi can be vigorously tossed in Fuquan, the more he plays, the bigger he plays, and Tang Qiuli quietly left Guangzhou, through Guangdong Sihui, Guangning, Huaiji, Guangxi Hezhou Pingle, three days later, arrived in Guilin, an important town in the northeast of Guangxi, that night, learned that Tang Qiuli came to Guilin, the two giants of the Gui family, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, came to visit together.

I haven't seen him for a while, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are much older and look very tired, the loss of the Gui army in Nanning, for the Gui family, has greatly damaged the vitality and almost shaken the fundamentals, and the economy and prosperity of the northeast of Guizhou are far less than those in the southern part of Gui, and it is particularly difficult for the Gui family to recuperate.

When Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi talked about this matter with Tang Qiuli again, they did not hide the current predicament faced by the Gui family, which was able to compete with the central government of Chairman Chiang during the period of total victory, to the current situation of struggling and retreating to a corner, and the huge gap made the two giants of the Gui family feel stunned in their hearts.

Tang Qiuli originally planned to let the Gui army also send troops to participate in the Duyun Campaign of the 15th Army of Fengwen under the Mountain, and only on the battlefield can the real sword and gun fight with the Japanese army can a combat effective force be trained, and the deeper consideration is to let the Gui army participate in the war, so that a large number of weapons and equipment of the Japanese army can be captured, and the vitality of the army can be restored.

But in the current situation, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, when they mention the war, they are like frightened birds, and they still have a vague sense of schadenfreude for the Japanese army's attack on the Central Army troops in southern Qiannan, and they sent troops to help the Central Army, not to mention it, Tang Qiuli did not hide Li Bai and the others from the Duyun Battle he planned.

The military operation of the directly subordinate corps in the northeast of Guangxi could not be concealed if they wanted to, and after the battle began, the material supply line from the direction of Guangzhou had to pass through the northeast of Guangxi, and there were many places where the assistance of the Gui department was needed.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi sighed again and again, that is, Tang Qiuli has such a capital and can launch an attack on the Japanese army at any time, everything that should be said is finished, it is getting late, looking at Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, it seems that they have not said anything yet, and they look like they want to say something.

Tang Qiu knew everything, and he could see that the two giants of the Gui family had their own plans, and they didn't say anything, to see what kind of medicine Li Bai and the two were selling in the gourd, and after holding back for a while, the two glanced at each other, Bai Chongxi said: "Vice Chairman Tang, Bai has a reluctant request, this time against the Japanese army Yamashita Fengwen Department, it is foreseeable that the vice chairman will be able to win a big victory, whether the Japanese equipment captured by your army this time can be supplied to the Gui army, of course, we will buy it at the price, I don't know what the vice chairman thinks?" ”

Tang Qiuli was stunned for a moment, and dared to hold back for a long time, this is the matter, the equipment of the Japanese, the units of the independent division have long been eliminated and not used, after the capture, it is nothing more than to return to the furnace to refine some steel, and it will also take the cost of transportation, so he said with a smile: "Chairman Li, Bai Supervisor, there is nothing difficult about this matter, all the Japanese equipment captured by our army will be provided to you, as for the price......"

Speaking of this, he paused, Li Bai and the others immediately pricked up their ears, and looked at Tang Qiuli with nervous faces, for Gui Jun, the most lacking thing is weapons and equipment, and money can't buy them, if Tang Qiuli opens his mouth and asks for a price that is beyond his ability to bear, what should he do?

Tang Qiuli took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I thought about it, all according to half price, I don't know if the two of you can be satisfied?" Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi almost stood up in surprise, and finally took care of their worth and did not lose their temper, but the excited look on their faces exposed the ecstasy in their hearts.

This is a great favor, for the Gui family, it is like the grace of recreation, Li Bai and the others left with a thousand thanks, Tang Qiuli smiled like an old fox, Mei Xue came out of the room, looked at Tang Qiuli with a smile, pouted her red little mouth, and said: "You villain, you have taken advantage again, you can see it from your face." ”

Tang Qiuli immediately said with a bitter face: "Xue'er, it's so difficult that I think of me, is this such an image?" It's so sad," Mei Xue couldn't help laughing when he was amused, and Milk Yan kissed him lightly on the cheek as if she was in her arms, and said, "Okay, just kidding, it's going to be compensated for you," Tang Qiuli did take a big advantage, using a bunch of eliminated garbage goods in exchange for a lot of silver dollars, and making the other party grateful to Dade, this deal is too cost-effective.

Stayed in Guilin for one night, and the next day, Tang Qiuli left Guilin, and continued to go north under the escort of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi Yin, and rushed to the area of Libo in southern Qiannan, where the corps is now assembled.

Although the 19th Group Army is up and down, there is no one who is not tired of this commander-in-chief Liu, but he still has to cheer up his spirit to greet this official, there is no way, he can't afford to offend, who will let the family be the commander-in-chief, Liu Zhi is not polite, as soon as he arrives in Duyun, he immediately convenes a military meeting.

The commander-in-chief, who took advantage of the situation when he saw it and ran away when he saw danger, reversed his brief speech in Duyun last time, and made a long speech, and no matter what Guo Huawen, whose face was getting more and more ugly, thought, and pointed fingers at Duyun's defense.

The commander of the 15th Army of the Japanese Southern Dispatch Army, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwen, was not idle, eager to see through, and Yamashita Fengwen, who was anxious, finally looked forward to the heavy artillery brigade and sufficient shells and supplies on the night when Liu Zhi arrived in Duyun.

Yamashita Fengwen's mood immediately improved, he deliberately mobilized several engineering wings to build artillery positions for the heavy artillery brigade overnight, for this moment, His Excellency the commander was almost crazy, if the artillery could fight now, he would launch an attack on Xiyun Peak overnight.

The next morning, the mist in the mountains has not yet dissipated, a large-caliber heavy artillery has been prepared on the artillery position today, the thick barrel, gloomy pointing to the Xiyun Peak position, and a small part pointing to Duyun City, whether it is Chi Zifeng on Xiyun Peak, or Guo Huawen in Duyun City, and Liu Zhi, who is still lying on the ground, do not know that the long-awaited killing weapon of Fengwen under the mountain is ready, just waiting for the time to show his hideous sharp teeth.

At 7:30 a.m., with a thunderclap-like loud sound, the battlefield of Xiyun Peak, which had been silent for several days, began the baptism of blood and fire again, and the Japanese heavy artillery large-caliber shells densely covered the main position of Xiyun Peak.
