Because the final end point of this battle was the guest in Guangxi, later historians named the battle of the guest. This battle can also be called the largest battle in the second year of the Republic of China, the Xiangxi side invested two divisions of nearly 30,000 troops, and the Gui side invested two divisions and a brigade plus a total of 50,000 horses and five road patrol troops, this kind of decisive battle of nearly 100,000 people made the entire second revolution lose color.

At this time, Wang Zhenyu didn't care what the name of this battle would be, his attention was on the battle itself, and now that the big net had been opened, he was waiting for the two hundred and five people of the Gui Department to crash in.

Wang Zhenyu has visited almost all the companies of the First Division in the past few days, and he does not know that although the Third Division won the first battle, Wang Zhenyu still has this kind of unspeakable worry about the First Division, which makes him only relieve this worry by visiting.

At this moment, he finally realized what it means to be on the eve of the decisive battle, and various negative emotions such as nervousness, irritability, and restlessness are all reflected in himself. He is more restless than anyone in the Xiangxi Army, whether the news of the encirclement and annihilation of the First Division of the Gui Army has leaked, whether Lu Rongting, an old fox, will take the bait, can he decide the situation of the entire Guangxi in one battle, and what will be the situation in Guangxi in the future? How to deal with the aftermath after this battle? After occupying Guangxi, how to face the people's army Shili in Guangdong, the Yunnan army Shili in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the most important Yuan Shikai in Beijing. These problems have been bothering me all the time, and the pressure is really high.

Wang Zhenyu thought for a while and said to Wang Zhenbang beside him: "Old Five, you go and check if there is any telegram or news from Brother Tian in Beijing, he has been active there for almost two months, and there should be news back." ”

Since Zhu Cihan went down to lead the troops, the position of adjutant has been vacant. After Wang Zhenbang left, Wang Zhenyu said to Wang Hu, Zhao Chong and Zhao Song: "Let's go, let's go to the mountains." ”

Wang Hu hurriedly dissuaded: "Dashuai, I heard from the locals that there are evil tigers and wild boars in this mountain, can we not go or don't go?" ”

Wang Zhenyu glanced at the mountain in surprise, shook his head and said: "How can there be these things in this mountain, just to spread false rumors, and if there really is, aren't there still you people?" What are you afraid of, go. ”

Wang Hu and the others know that Dashuai is a very assertive person, and he has not been in a good mood recently, since he wants to go up the mountain for a walk, then he and his people should be careful to guard, don't say more, if you provoke Dashuai, the consequences will be very serious.

The three personal guards didn't have time to summon the guards in the distance, so they could only press the magazine into their pistols and follow the commander up the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two years since Wang Zhenyu came to this shijie, from a small new military manager to the current boss of a military group with tens of thousands of soldiers, all of this is like a dream. He was now taking every step extremely carefully, fearing that if he was not careful, everything in front of him would eventually be disillusioned like a dream.

The wife and young children in the family, attached to their own family, and their subordinates, all made Wang Zhenyu feel a lot of pressure before the decisive battle and could not be relieved......

Lu Rongting's life was not easy, although the Republic of China era was not the Internet era, but the news of the destruction of the first division of the Gui Army and the capture of Guilin City was still sent at the moment when Lu Rongting arrived in Laibin City.

Lu Rongting looked at the secret letter sent, although he kept a smile on his face, his hands couldn't help but start to tremble.

The level of horror in his heart cannot be described in words, and his starting unit, the first division of the Gui Army, known as the elite of the Gui Army, nearly 8,000 men and horses disappeared in just a few days. God, how strong is his opponent, Lu Rongting has gone from being full of confidence before the expedition to now falling into the abyss, the contrast is so great that even he can't bear it.

But it must be endured, and now it is ready to be fired. Looking at the commanders of the several patrol forces in front of him, Lu Rongting pretended to be relaxed and said: "Chen Bingkun, they have defeated Luzhai, waiting for us to go to Liujiang to meet the division!" Everyone should move quickly, and then hurry. ”

Mo Rongxin hahadaxiao: "Lu Shuai, this flag is a great sign of victory." ”

The surrounding generals congratulated Lu Rongting one after another, and Lu Rongting naturally smiled at this and encouraged the gentlemen. But he was dripping blood frantically in his heart, just kidding, half of his combat power was gone, let alone defeating Wang Zhenyu, it was a big problem to maintain his current status. Not to mention anything else, Wei Changrong, who has not arrived for a long time, Chen Chaozheng will definitely mess up. Therefore, Lu Rongting made a very important choice, that is, to conceal the news of the defeat of the first division of the Gui army, and not only that, but also claimed that he had won a great victory.

But after all, it is impossible for paper to contain the fire, and it will always be exposed after a long time, Lu Rongting secretly made up his mind that no matter what method is used, he must put the 30,000 Gui troops currently gathered in the guests into the attack, defeat the 10,000 Hunan army, and take Liuzhou. Only in this way can we hope to turn the tide of the war, otherwise if we continue to delay, it is estimated that we will not even fight, and our own army will be scattered.

Now that he has figured out the truth, Lu Rongting naturally actively convened a military meeting and deployed operations......

Just when Lu Rongting had to bite the bullet, Jihua launched the most ferocious offensive in the history of the Gui army. In Nanning, a conspiracy is quietly unfolding.

At the garrison of the First Army of the Guangxi Patrol, Wei Changrong, who had taken one step and three steps back, had not left Nanning City for 20 miles. As for Chen Chaozheng, he left forty miles, but it was only a vanguard force, and his main force was only five miles away from Wei Changrong.

Their reason was very simple, the military pay was insufficient, and they could not be promoted.

Lu Rongting is not a fool, but when he saw this reason, he had already arrived with the Second Division and the Independent Mixed Brigade. The only way is to take the men and horses to defeat Liuzhou, and then go back to settle accounts with these two anti-bone boys.

In Nanning City, the one who stayed here was Lu Rongting's son Lu Yuguang, who was the same age as Wang Zhenyu, and he was twenty-one this year, but he obviously did not have the courage of Wang Zhenyu to attack the jade belt door on Chinese New Year's Eve. In order to win the battle to unify Guangxi, Lu Rongting took away all the elite men and horses, leaving his son Lu Yuguang with only 500 non-commissioned officers and 1,300 garrisons. Relying on this, even if Lu Yuguang is a rebirth of Wuhou, it is estimated that the more than 10,000 men of Wei Changrong and Chen Chaozheng will not be recruited.

Now even the ants in Nanning City are running around telling each other that Wei Chen is going to rebel, but Lu Yuguang has no way. The only thing I can do is to send my family back to Wuming's hometown, according to the rules of the military circles, everything will not hurt my family, so my hometown is safer than Nanning.

In addition, you can only send letters to and from guests to be in a hurry......

Wei Changrong and Chen Chaozheng didn't pay attention to the little people under Lu Yuguang at all, they were still waiting for enough favorable conditions, but today they waited for a little news.

"Mr. Gong, how is it possible? Lu Shuai's first division can be called the first elite of our Gui army, you said that they were all wiped out in less than half a day, how is this possible? Asking the two how it was possible just shows that Wei Changrong has believed in the authenticity of this news.

Gong Peng didn't say more explanation about this, but chuckled: "It's up to the two of you next." ”

Wei Changrong and Chen Chaozheng were extremely shocked by the news of the annihilation of the 1st Division, if it was true, then they should not have the idea of becoming an overseer and governor at all. Because after Lu Rongting is finished, it will not be easy for his people to keep the territory, where do they dare to bargain in front of the Xiangxi Army with such fierce combat effectiveness, and ask for too much.

Wei Changrong didn't mention the Overseer Army at all today, and he wouldn't do anything to save Lu Rongting, after all, so many years of grudges can't be resolved in a day or two. In history, when Chen Jiongming brought 25,000 Cantonese troops to crusade against Lu Rongting, it was this Wei Changrong Wei commander who defected at a critical time, and then took advantage of the opportunity when Lu Rongting led his troops to take Nanning bloodlessly, resulting in Lu Rongting's 100,000 army being defeated without a fight.

Of course, this history is not recorded in our textbooks, because the Father of the Nation almost relied on his personal charm to kill Lu Rongting's 100,000 army in seconds. Then we find out very strangely that in 1924, when the warlords were in a scuffle, why did Lu Rongting, the deputy marshal of the Protector Military Government, disappear?

If Wei and Chen first hooked up with the people from the Xiangxi Military Intelligence Department to control Guangxi for themselves, then the amazing strength shown by the Xiangxi Army now makes them feel that they are seeking skin with the tiger.

Wei Rongchang glanced at Chen Chaozheng, and Chen Chaozheng said, "Mr. Gong, Wei Shuai and I have been working together for the past few days, the military and civilian affairs of this province are too trivial, I don't know a few words, and the ink in my stomach is afraid that I can't afford the heavy responsibility of managing a province in Guangxi." Let's take the soldiers well, and then we will follow Wang Dashuai and his old man before and after the saddle. ”

When Gong Peng heard this, he smiled very proudly......

At this time, Wang Shuai and his old man were strolling on the path between the mountains and forests, and sneezed unnaturally: "It must be that Wen Yatou said bad things about me at home, this sneeze is really ......"

"Roaring ......" Suddenly, a tiger roar that shocked the mountains and forests interrupted Wang Zhenyu's self-talk.

"Wow, there are really tigers in this place" Wang Zhenyu immediately remembered Wang Hu's reminder before going up the mountain, but how could there be tigers in such a small mountain? This environmental protection is done so well, I knew that I wouldn't come up if I killed myself, which is exactly the experience of later generations that kills people.

After more than a year of training in this era, no matter how vicious he is, Wang Zhenyu is not afraid. Because people can communicate and find weaknesses, but tigers are different, how do you communicate with this brute, whether you talk about party spirit or principles. Wang Zhenyu, who had experienced the rain of bullets, trembled unnaturally, and his hand touched his waist, wow, he didn't bring a gun.

At this moment, Wang Hu's shout came from behind him: "Dashuai be careful......"
