Chapter 139: The Verge (3)
"Waste, all waste" In the brigade headquarters of the Second Mountain Brigade, Bai Chongxi's roar came out from time to time.
The staff officers who came in and out became cautious because of this, and their steps were as light as possible, lest their footsteps be too loud and they would be called in by the white brigade commander and it would not be worth scolding.
And for the people who were scolded inside, everyone can only express deep sympathy.
It was none other than Li Dachao, the company commander of the Special Service Reconnaissance Company of the Second Mountain Brigade, and the platoon commanders Wang Chenhao and Guo Meng.
Bai Chongxi's life path in the past year or so has been unusually smooth, except for a few months in Nanjing as a flower child, the rest of the days are from the teaching team to the soldier, to the squad leader, platoon leader, deputy captain, battalion commander, base commander and independent regiment commander, until the major general brigade commander. Such a speed of promotion is very rare, of course, he is not alone, after all, this is a period of great expansion.
But after Yujian Shen Hongying, the opponent, Bai Chongxi's good mood was gone. Originally, Shen Hongying was not an opponent, but when we cheated the city, our little Zhuge set up three traps in a row, and none of them were able to trap Shen Hongying, a god. Shen Hongying successfully staged a scene of escape from danger, which made Bai Chongxi very faceless.
If you get away, you will get away, not to mention Xiao Zhuge , even if it is Zhuge Liang himself, isn't there a time when he loses the street pavilion?
However, Shen Hongying was restless, and threw his wife and children to Mo Rongxin, his in-laws in Wuzhou, and he returned to Liuzhou with a group of relatives to pull a team. In the end, it is the famous land snake in this vicinity, and it has become the climate again in just a few days.
Attacking Liuzhou City, which was heavily garrisoned, he Shen Hongying didn't dare, but it was always okay to attack a transport team.
Looking at the casualty report sent by the Armaments Department, Wang Zhenyu didn't say anything, threw the report to Bai Chongxi, who was standing in front of him, and left. The meaning of this action is clear, you get him.
Bai Chongxi felt that he had lost face with the big handsome, and immediately arranged the matter of cleaning up Shen Hongying after he came back, and gave a death order: other people can ignore it, the first evil Shen Hongying, you must see people in life, and you must see corpses in death.
With the Special Service Reconnaissance Company as the vanguard, the Second Brigade dispatched a full regiment of troops to start a large-scale anti-bandit operation. Bai Chongxi himself even shouted that he had a bodhisattva's heart and performed thunderbolt methods.
The first part of the anti-bandit operation was to exterminate the gentry suspected of collaborating with bandits near the main road, and without these whistleblowers, the bandits would become blind and deaf, and the next action would naturally suffer a big loss. Within ten days, the bandits in the Guilin area of Liuzhou disappeared under the heavy blows of the Second Mountain Brigade, but Shen Hongying still did not have a law.
What Bai Chongxi wants now is not an improvement in the public security situation at all, what he wants is Shen Hongying's head, and these subordinates have done everything, but they didn't bring Shen Hongying's head, which is damnable......
"Okay, Brother Jiansheng, the brothers have done their best, so you won't have to say a word." The first words Li Zongren said when he entered the door made Li Dachao and the others cast grateful eyes.
Bai Chongxi stopped reprimanding Li Zongren in the face, breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved his hand to signal Li Dachao and the others to withdraw.
"Brother Delin, I'm also in a hurry, you also saw the appearance of the handsome man that day. If I can't do this errand well, the big handsome won't be able to pass it. ”
Li Zongren patted Bai Chongxi's arm very understandingly: "It's okay, it's just that the marshal asked me to invite you, this has a new errand, Shen Hongying, a habitual bandit, also hurt your muscles and bones this time, and arresting him in the future will be an errand for the police department, let's go, go to the marshal's station......"
At the headquarters of the Liuzhou Marshal's Mansion, a military meeting is being held, in addition to Xu Yuanquan and others under Wang Zhenyu, Liu Guxiang's people are also present, and many things need to be finalized openly and honestly today.
"Brother Liu, you are really willing to be a part of my Xiangxi Group." Wang Zhenyu felt strange when he asked, but at this moment, the Chinese Socialist Party that he planned had not yet been released, so he could only use the name of Xiangxi Group, a very enterprise.
Liu Guxiang sat up straight when she heard this, nodded to Wang Zhenyu and said, "We have been thinking about it for a long time, and we have also understood this time, all revolutionary comrades are false. Our lives were saved by you, Dashuai, since they are all people who have died once, we will definitely look forward to you in the future, and please take us in. ”
Wang Zhenyu saw Liu Guxiang's sincerity, nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, everyone will be brothers who eat in a pot in the future." Then I won't be out of sight, Brother Liu is now injured, and he is not suitable for leading troops, so he will be transferred to civilian positions in the future, as for Zhenhuan, Chengfu, and Brother Yueqing, they are still serving in front of the army, so it's good to arrange it. ”
When Si Liu heard this, he all got up and arched his hand: "It's all up to your orders, and we won't obey it." ”
Wang Zhenyu smiled, motioned for the four of them to sit down, and at the same time made a gesture of thought to his secretary Wang Zhenbang.
Wang Zhenbang immediately opened a document and announced an order in public: "From now on, a total of 13,000 people from the 1st Mountain Brigade, the 2nd Brigade and the former 5th Army Headquarters in Liuzhou will be combined into the 3rd Division of the Xiangxi Garrison, and the establishment will be based on the 1st Division." Li Zongren was appointed commander of the Third Division, Liu Zhenhuan was appointed deputy commander of the division, and Bai Chongxi was appointed chief of staff of the major general...... Order: Xiangxi Town Guard Wang, September 27, 2nd year of the Republic of China. ”
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were very surprised by this appointment, but they were only stunned for a moment, and they came back to their senses, what does it mean? He has become the core figure of Xiangxi Group. Looking at Wang Zhenyu who was looking at him with a smile on his face, the two got up excitedly and saluted Wang Zhenyu and said: "The grace of the handsome man, the humble duty should be repaid with death." ”
After hearing this, Wang Zhenyu hahadaxiao said: "Nonsense again, what do I want you to do, I summoned you for only one thing, this Lu Laoshuai of Nanning is not pleasing to us, and wants to invite us out of Guangxi." ”
Bai Chongxi hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "Don't worry, no matter what trick Lu Rongting makes, we will pick him up for you." Since he wants to invite us out of Guangxi, then we will simply give him all of Guangxi. ”
Wang Zhenyu looked at everyone with a smile and did not answer.
However, Xu Yuanquan frowned and said: "Marshal, the combat effectiveness of the Gui army should not be underestimated, in the past 30 years, from Zhennan Pass to Taiwan, there are Gui troops everywhere, this is a hard bone, and according to the intelligence of the military intelligence department, this time the Gui army is almost besieged from all sides, and the total strength is almost 50,000." ”
Liu Guxiang also nodded and said: "I know Lu Rongting, his skills in fighting are very good, and the 10,000 descendants under his command are all old foundations of the new army of the Guangxi Army, and their combat effectiveness and equipment are not bad. It's really different from the bandit soldiers under Shen Hongying, once you are careless, you may suffer a big loss, and you must be careful about this. ”
Liu Zhenhuan nodded and said: "Marshal, there is another point, this time Lu Rongting did it under the banner of unifying Guangxi and driving out the Hunan army. In other words, he could politically integrate the Liliang in the towns of Guangxi for the time being. ”
This is exactly what Wang Zhenyu is worried about, from Jingzhou to Hongjiang to Changde, he has won consecutive battles, but can this prove that his men and horses are invincible in the world?
Wang Zhenyu knows that there is something to be done, not so much because his own army is powerful, but because the other party's army is too bad. But Lu Rongting's army will definitely not be so bad, the Gui army belongs to the border army in the traditional sense, and it is not bad in terms of equipment and training. Historically, Lu Rongting also relied on his own force, once occupied the territory of Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan provinces, and also won the reputation of "North Zhang and South Lu". A person who can be as famous as Zhang Zuolin must not be underestimated, otherwise, he will suffer a big loss.
Wang Zhenyu thought of this, and his fingers lightly tapped on the table and said: "Kecheng (Xu Yuanquan's words), Delin and Jiansheng!" If we want to become the one who changes the fate of this country, this battle must be won. In the previous few battles, everyone fought very smoothly, but the Gui army was different, and their combat effectiveness was not comparable to those local troops in Hongjiang and Changde. I also want to take this opportunity to let you have a good look at the appearance of our first-class army in China, so when you go back, you must organize a meeting of officers, and you must be attentive and do not underestimate the enemy. ”
After a pause, Wang Zhenyu said again: "As for Jihua, who is fighting against the enemy, I want everyone to discuss it here later, think it carefully, and at the same time allow the people below to have room to improvise......
Nanning Baihualou, the commander of the First Army of Guangxi Patrol, Wei Rongchang, who was stationed in Longzhou, was invited by Chen Chaozheng, the commander of the Sixth Army, to drink flower wine. When he entered the door, Wei Rongchang's loud voice shouted: "Brother Chen, what's a good thing?" I actually want to invite my brother to drink! ”
Chen Chaozheng smiled very indifferently and said, "Look at what you said, big brother, what good thing is it to invite you to drink?" ”
Wei Rongchang haha smiled: "Then you have to make it clear, this unclear wine brother doesn't dare to drink!" ”
Chen Chaozheng understood Wei Rongchang's character, and immediately got up and grabbed Wei Rongchang's hand and said, "Big brother, our brother is about to get into trouble, are you still in the mood to joke?" ”
Wei Rongchang's face suddenly changed when he heard the words: "Why did the elder brother of the government say this, did you receive any rumors, the elder brother has always treated you well, you have to tell the elder brother first?" ”
Chen Chaozheng said in a low voice: "Isn't the younger brother just inviting the eldest brother to come over and discuss?" Let's go upstairs, there's a guest waiting for us. ”
Wei Rongchang looked at Chen Chaozheng's words suspiciously, and he didn't want to think about it, this is estimated to be nothing in Lu Rongting's territory. So he took a big step and said, "Let's go, let's go upstairs and ......."
