readx;? Early the next morning, the officers and men of the Independent Brigade went out of the city with the tools needed for the fortifications, and began to prepare for the excavation of the fortifications at the positions designated yesterday. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Wang Haitao arranged 1,500 people for 3,000 migrant workers at the north gate, and 500 people at the other gates.

Historically, the communist army was invincible in the construction of civil fortifications, and this was also an excellent opportunity for military training in all previous battles, all of which were at a disadvantage and could only be passively defended. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to teach these fighters all the methods of civil engineering and fortification that the Communist troops had summed up for many years decades later.

In this way, in the future, in the face of the superior forces of the Japanese devils, the wanton bombardment of aircraft and artillery, we can reduce some losses. Wang Haitao began to teach these soldiers how to dig trenches and how deep to dig them. How should the Ming Fort and the Hidden Fort be distributed, so as to form the most comparable firepower coverage network, and how to forget what is going on and how to arrange the firepower points.

As for why the trenches had to be dug two meters deep, why the excavated soil had to be placed on one's side, why one gun had to dig three to five gun emplacements, and why more than four meters of communication trenches had to be dug between the gun emplacements? As the progress of the fortifications deepened day by day, the whole of the fortifications also revealed its true face day by day.

These fortifications not only shocked the soldiers, but even Su Zuxin, a veteran of the battle, was amazed. Before the fortifications were completed, Wang Haitao had the soldiers lay a large number of mines and traps in front of the position. Looking at the fortifications that were almost completed, Su Zuxin sighed: "Brigade, where did you learn this set? In the face of such a fortification, even a regular teacher is afraid that he will be helpless to take it." ”

Wang Haitao said in his heart: A regular division of your country and army naturally can't bear such fortifications, but I didn't build such fortifications to deal with troops like the country and army, but to deal with the army of Japanese devils. The firepower of a brigade of Japanese devils may catch up with a division of your country and army. Not to mention the ferocity of the Japanese devils' artillery fire is unimaginable, as well as the overwhelming bombing of aircraft.

But in the face of Su Zuxin, Wang Haitao had no choice but to say: "This is the standard military fortification construction method of the United States Military Academy at West Point, I just use this opportunity to teach these soldiers, and I will definitely use it in the future." Su Zuxin nodded and said, "Yes, it's really good." Foreign military affairs are indeed worth learning from!"

Wang Haitao secretly said in his heart that he was ashamed, and in desperation, he actually gave the exploits of his ancestors to the Americans.

Seeing that the fortifications here in Guilin were almost finished, Wang Haitao asked Su Zuxin to preside over the work in Guilin's headquarters, and he took two guards and drove to Quanzhou County. When he arrived at Quanzhou County, he saw that the commander of the first battalion had only left a fifth company in the county to assist more than 300 people from a security brigade in Quanzhou County to defend the county seat of Quanzhou, while he himself took the remaining three main companies and a reinforced firepower company to choose a blocking position outside the city.

Wang Haitao didn't care about resting, and immediately asked the soldiers to lead him to the blocking position to have a look. When he came to the blocking position, Wang Haitao saw that the blocking position chosen by the commander of the first battalion was really good. There is a road sandwiched between two mountains of more than 100 meters, and this road is not only an uphill slope, but also a sharp bend 350 meters from the top of the mountain. With machine gun emplacements on two hills, three or four heavy machine guns would be enough to block the road.

It's just that the blocking positions were built too simply, and heavy machine guns were erected, but there was no protection for them. The four heavy machine-gun positions on the two hills were only erected on the top of the hill with earthen sacks, and there was no other cover, and such positions, under the enemy's artillery fire, would not last long before they would be completely destroyed.

Wang Haitao first affirmed the choice of a battalion commander in the blocking position, then pointed out the shortcomings for him, and taught him and all the officers and men how to set up a blocking position, how to prevent the enemy's artillery fire from killing and injuring their own firepower points, how to reasonably distribute troops, how to set up mortar positions on the back of the mountain, and how to arrange traps and mines on the roads.

With Wang Haitao's words and deeds, the officers and men of the first battalion benefited a lot. The commander of the first battalion hurriedly instructed the soldiers to rebuild the fortifications on the blocking position, while Wang Haitao kept pointing on the side. Two days later, a new blocking position appeared on the top of the two hills, and the new position increased the confidence of the officers and men of the first battalion. At this time, Wang Haitao began to relax his heart.

At the end of July, several armies under the command of Chiang Kai-shek were confronting the Gui army on the Guangxi border, and no one fired the first shot, but the atmosphere of the mountain rain and the wind and the wind aroused the worries of many well-known people in China, who were running between Chiang Kai-shek's central government and the Guangxi government of Li and Bai, and tried hard to persuade the two sides to remain calm and not to start a civil war again.

Finally, in early August, Li Zongren openly sent a telegram affirming that he would obey the leadership of the central government and that once Japan invaded our interior again, the Gui faction would not hesitate to send troops to war. After receiving Li Zongren's telegram, Chiang Kai-shek also said that as long as Li and Bai obeyed the leadership of the central government, they could continue to serve as chairman of the Guangxi Provincial Government and commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army.

This was tantamount to agreeing to the continuation of Li and Bai's substantive rule over Guangxi Province, and also recognizing the autonomy and semi-independence of Guangxi Province. But Chiang Kai-shek was extremely pleased to have achieved a formal unity of the central government, which was recognized by Li and Bai. After the formal meeting between Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren in Guangzhou in September, the "Erguang Incident" was resolved peacefully without firing a single shot from both sides.

Wang Haitao received another military order to withdraw his troops and return to the former Binyang County garrison in Nanning. Wang Haitao, who received the new military order, immediately ordered the officers and men of the first battalion of Quanzhou to withdraw to Guilin City, and after joining the whole regiment, they would withdraw to Binjiu County together. Wang Haitao and the others were about to leave Guilin, and Mayor Sun and Head Wang of Guilin set up a banquet to see off Wang Haitao and them. Although Wang Haitao and his men were only stationed in Guilin City for more than two months, the good military discipline and the style of doing nothing wrong with the people of this unit left a deep impression on the people of Guilin.
