readx;? Wang Haitao, who had received the military order, ordered the two regiments of the Longzai brigade to assemble urgently in Binyang County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Only one platoon of the 2nd Regiment was left in the Info Battalion, and the rest of the troops were fully armed and marched towards the city of Guilin. All the vehicles of the 2nd Regiment were handed over to the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment to form a mobile battalion, carrying some heavy weapons, and arriving at Quanzhou County to garrison in the shortest possible time.

After receiving the order, the commander of the 1st Battalion did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly gathered the vehicles of the entire 2nd Regiment, concentrated all the 82 gravityless guns, 100-mm heavy mortars and other heavy weapons of the 2nd Regiment, and most importantly, brought two double-linked Gaoping 2-purpose heavy machine guns, and then set off straight to Quanzhou County at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi.

After the first battalion of the second regiment set off, Wang Haitao and Su Zuxin got into their own jeeps and left Binyang County with the rest of the troops. At this time, the distance of the highway from Binyang County in Nanning to Guilin City was 430 axioms, and it took the troops three days to reach it. Walking on the highway that is good and bad, Wang Haitao can't help but miss the highway that has become ubiquitous decades later.

When he arrived in Guilin City, the mayor of Guilin City had already received a telegram from Li Zongren of the provincial government, and knew that troops would come to Guilin City and Quanzhou County to garrison them, so he brought the head of the Guilin Civic League to the city gate to welcome Wang Haitao's arrival. After the mayor saw Wang Haitao, he reported his fist and asked, "May I ask if it is Brigade Commander Wang and Chief of Staff of the Soviet Union of the Independent Brigade of the Seventh Army?"

Wang Haitao replied: "Yes, I am Wang Haitao, and this is the chief of staff of the Soviet Union. Are you?"

The mayor replied: "The humble man is the mayor of Guilin, the humble victory of Sun, Sun Yulin." The humble people have received a telegram from Chief Li of the provincial government, knowing that Brigade Commander Wang's troops are coming to our Guilin City to garrison, and the humble people are very honored. Yesterday morning, the first part of your brigade rushed to Quanzhou County, and the Bei people have already arranged a station for your department. ”

At this time, the man wearing the lieutenant colonel logo and wearing a military uniform also came over and saluted and said: "Wang Yanwu, the head of the Guilin City Security Regiment, has seen Brigade Commander Wang and Chief of Staff Su. ”

Wang Haitao and Su Zuxin glanced at each other and said: "The military order is in the body, the matter is important, there is no need to eat, I and the chief of staff understand the love of the two!"

Wang Yanwu was about to say more, but Mayor Sun had already said: "No matter how urgent things are, we always have to eat, and besides, we can also discuss how to cooperate with your ministry to defend Guilin City." ”

Wang Haitao saw that Mayor Sun's words were on this, and if he refused, it would be too faceless, and the future work would not be easy to do, so he nodded and said: "Okay, just bother the two." ”

Mayor Sun smiled and said: "How can it be, Brigade Commander Wang will take your ministry into the city with us first, and after the arrangements are made, I will pick you up in the evening." ”

Wang Haitao didn't say much more, and first led the troops and Mayor Sun into Guilin City. When I came to the station, I saw that this should have been the headquarters of the security regiment, and the housing had been temporarily added, which was not only very chaotic, but also very crowded. Mayor Sun said apologetically: "Brigade Commander Wang, I'm really sorry, Guilin is a small place, and I didn't prepare, so I had to commission your ministry." ”

Wang Haitao replied: "It's not to blame Mayor Sun, we came a little suddenly. This is very good, people who are soldiers are all over the world, how can they pay so much attention. ”

Mayor Sun and Head Wang both smiled with relief. Mayor Sun said: "It's still Brigadier Wang who is sensible and has said it well. Brigade Commander Wang is busy first, and I will pick up the two and the commanders in the evening. After speaking, he said goodbye to Head Wang and left.

After the two left, Wang Haitao and Su Zuxin began to arrange for the soldiers to stay first, and then set up a temporary headquarters for the independent brigade. As soon as he finished these chores, he used the military radio to send a telegram to the headquarters of the Fourth Army, reporting to the headquarters that the independent brigade of the Seventh Army had all arrived at the designated position. Soon after the telegram was sent, Mayor Sun personally invited Wang Haitao and them to a banquet.

Wang Haitao arranged for Tang Longzai, the commander of the second regiment, to be on duty in the barracks, and Su Zuxin took the third regiment commander and several battalion commanders to the banquet together. The restaurant should be the best restaurant in Guilin, the wine and food are good, but Wang Haitao and Su Zuxin's minds are not on this wine and food. Mayor Sun and Head Wang were very enthusiastic, and Mayor Sun also thought about finding a few women to accompany the wine, but Wang Haitao refused.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when Wang Haitao asked how many guns there were under Commander Wang and how the training was going, Commander Wang said with a bitter face: "Brigade Commander Wang, now that the war is on, I don't dare to hide it, sir, my Guilin Security Regiment has 940 soldiers, more than 600 Hanyang, one gun has 20 bullets, and two light machine guns, 500 bullets, 10 box guns, and the rest are earthen guns such as old sleeves. ”

Wang Haitao was not surprised by this situation, because these militia groups are completely self-sufficient, and it is impossible for others to be the same as himself, so it is impossible to demand that others be the same as himself. And this security regiment should be considered a good security regiment. Although the "Erguang Incident" in history did not end in a firefight and ended in negotiations, but now because of his arrival, history will not change and whether there will really be a fight, Wang Haitao is not sure.

Thinking of this, Wang Haitao said: "Starting tomorrow, my troops will start to build fortifications at the north gate of Guilin City, and your security corps will be responsible for the security work in Guilin City, so that the people of Guilin can live in peace of mind. Mayor Sun, starting tomorrow, you will help me arrange 3,000 laborers to help me build fortifications. We are in charge of these labors, but Mayor Sun has to worry about the daily supply of our troops, but Mayor Sun can rest assured that all these supplies are purchased by our department in cash. ”

Mayor Sun and Head Wang both nodded their heads in agreement. After returning to the barracks after the banquet, Wang Haitao began to make arrangements for the next day. Except for the 1st Battalion, the 2nd Regiment built fortifications outside the North Gate of Guilin City, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions of the 3rd Regiment built fortifications outside the Eastern, Southern, and Western Gates respectively. The baggage battalions of the two regiments remained in the city to provide logistical support for the two regiments. The remaining battalion of the Third Regiment is now in the city to assist the Security Regiment, and will be the general reserve once the war begins.
