Chapter 437: The Great Victory in Southern Guizhou (Part 2)
"Wow!" All the generals sat up straight and looked at Bai Chongxi.
Bai Chongxi looked at the crowd. The origins of these people can be said to be diverse. They have their own Guangxi clique, Cantonese clique, Sichuan clique, and the Central Army. There are various factions in the Central Army, such as the CC clique, the civil engineering clique, and the political clique.
It is a science to want these people to listen to you and unite to fight this Guinan battle.
Bai Chongxi said with a slightly curved corner of his mouth, "Ye Zhao!"
A tall and thin officer stood at attention and looked at Bai Chongxi.
Bai Chongxi said, "I order the Sixty-sixth Army of your Thirty-seventh Group Army to guard Guigang and Guiping. We don't want to kill the enemy, but just defend it."
"yes!"
Bai Chongxi continued, "Xu Tingyao"
"exist!"
"I order you to lead the 99th Army and the 36th Army to guard Shanglin, Pingguo, Long'an and other places. These places are located in the southwest of Nanning, especially Pingguo and Long'an. The terrain is dangerous. You must hold on until the last moment, otherwise military law will be engaged.
!”
"yes!"
"He Xuan!"
"exist!"
Bai Chongxi pointed to the map and said, "I order your troops to defend Kunlun Pass. This place will become the main battlefield of this battle. You can only win but not lose!"
"The people are here!" He Xuan, a general of the Guangxi clan, said loudly.
Bai Chongxi nodded and said with approval, "Chen Ji!"
A general in his late 50s with a strong Cantonese accent stood at attention and said, "Here!"
"Most of your troops are Cantonese and are good at mountain climbing. Since the purpose of the Japanese army is to cut off the main artery of Hunan and Guangxi, the troops sent out must be extremely large and the rear area must be empty. I now order your troops to climb over the mountains and ridges, divert to Yulin, and sneak attack the Japanese army's retreat."
"yes!"
Finally, Bai Chongxi said, "The rest of the troops are in Liuzhou, repairing and waiting for orders."
"yes!"
After Bai Chongxi finished speaking, Du Yuming immediately became anxious. He stood up and said to Bai Chongxi, "Sir Bai, the 40,000 soldiers of our Fifth Army are on the alert and ready to go into battle to repay the country's favor. Why are there no soldiers from our Fifth Army this time?"
Where’s the mission?”
Li Jishen, who was next to him, smiled and said, "Commander Du, don't be anxious. Commander Bai naturally has his own intentions in making this arrangement. Your Fifth Army is the chairman's heart. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid... Haha, we all have
I can’t explain it to the commissioner.”
Li Jishen turned out to be one of the leaders of the Guangxi clique, and this time he was sent to supervise the army. Although Li Jishen didn't like Bai Chongxi, he was still from Guangxi after all. Naturally, he didn't want his hometown to become a place trampled by the Japanese invaders. When he saw Bai Chongxi
Deliberately not mentioning the Fifth Army, he immediately knew that Bai Chongxi had ulterior motives, so he also cooperated with the show.
Du Yuming heard what Li Jishen said and saw the generals around him looking sneer, and said angrily, "Our Fifth Army gets the most military pay, uses the best preparations, and trains the hardest. There is no way to endure hardship."
, Besides, the hounds will eventually die on the mountain, and the general will inevitably die on the battlefield! Please issue the order, Chief Bai."
Bai Chongxi looked at Li Jishen and smiled. The two had grievances before, but now they seemed to be laughing away their grievances. If Agent Jiang in Chongqing saw this, he would not know whether to sleep or not.
Bai Chongxi smiled and said, "Okay, then I'm welcome. The Fifth Army is the treasure of our army. I have a plan that requires a very strong force to be implemented. I wonder if General Du dares to go?"
Du Yuming stood at attention and said, "I will fight to the death to complete the mission!"
Bai Chongxi nodded and said, "At first, I wanted your troops to defend the Kunlun Mountains and use the terrain of the Kunlun Mountains to kill the enemy. But I have understood from the Eighth Route Army's war in the north that mechanized troops like yours should be in the open.
Only in the plains can the greatest combat power be exerted. The Japanese army is now divided into two groups. One group comes from the sea. As far as I know, it only carries light artillery and not even trucks. The other group comes from Guangdong and fights for hundreds of miles. Although some
Armor strength, but was dragged behind by our terrain. Now I want you to lead your Fifth Army from Pingguo to Baise, Debao, Chongzuo and other places, insert into the rear of the Japanese army, and use your tanks to hit me hard
Kick the little devil’s ass hard! Now that the little devil has gathered in one place, we won’t be polite. I will surround the Japanese army in Guinan so that the Japanese army will never dare to invade our territory again!”
Everyone took a breath when they heard this. If this battle is won, it will be a victory comparable to the victory of Lunan.
Du Yuming swallowed his saliva. He knew that if he really achieved the strategic goal Bai Chongxi said, his military achievements would be recorded in history. But he looked at the map and said with a grimace, "Sir Bai, it's not that my subordinates are unwilling, but you can
It is difficult for our tanks and chariots to move along this road. Our chariots are very expensive and can easily break down... I am not afraid of death, I am just afraid that if I get to a certain place, I will not be able to realize the commander's strategy.
Target."
Bai Chongxi smiled and said, "I know about this... not only tanks, but also supplies, and Japanese reconnaissance. All of these are problems, but just because it is impossible, the Japanese will not believe that you are there."
With such a force interspersed, there is hope for this battle, not to mention we have the help of the Bagui children. I can assure you that we will definitely prepare a way for you to take, and no Japanese army will find it."
When Du Yuming heard Bai Chongxi say this, he thought that he had just asked to fight. If he backed down again, he would no longer have to hang out in the National Army in this life, so he said in a bachelor's manner, "I will definitely complete my mission if I am humble!"
Bai Chongxi nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Nanning on the map and thought to himself, "I've finished the layout, what are you going to do?"
——Nanning
Ando Rikichi's anger came and went quickly. He was reading the order coming from Nanjing at this time. He put down the telegram and said to Imamura, "Commander Nishio said that Bai Chongxi is the soul of the Gui Army. Li Jishen turned out to be anti-Chiang Kai-shek."
They are all people who can be fought for, what do you think?"
Z nodded and said, "I once read China's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and I remember a sentence in it, which is that attacking the heart is the top priority, attacking the city is the bottom priority, fighting the heart is the top priority, and fighting the army is the bottom priority. Guangxi's geography is complex and its people are tough.
, if you want to advance quickly, the best way is to let the Guangxi clique cooperate with us. This time, as far as I know, Chiang Kai-shek used the excuse of our attack to send a large number of central troops into Guangxi. I don’t think Bai Chongxi will have any objections."
Ando Rikichi nodded and said, "Okay, didn't we kill many Gui soldiers along the way? We immediately ordered all the places to bury the corpses of these Gui soldiers, erect monuments and engrave words on them, and the captured Gui soldiers were not allowed to be abused, and those of the Central Army
Kill them all to show the difference, and then spread the word, what do you think?"
Imamura clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I think we can also send a call to show our sincerity. If it succeeds, it will be best. If it doesn't succeed, it can also make Jiang's agency suspicious of Bai Chongxi."
Ando Rikichi hummed, touched his beard and said, "Yo Xi, let's do it this way, but we have to fight a battle of hearts and a battle of soldiers. We order the troops to start attacking Kunlun Pass in three days. You will have full command and send out troops at the same time. A regiment attacked Guigang and Long'an as a feint attack."
——
"1. The only purpose of the Imperial Japanese Army's occupation of Nanning is to cut off the communication line between the Chongqing regime and French Indo-China;
2. We, the Imperial Japanese Army in Nanning, expressed our deepest respect to Generals Li and Li for their construction and government orders in Guangxi. Therefore, we will do our best to avoid damage, and we will do our best to protect the lives and happiness of ordinary people under the rule of the two generals;
Third, I hope that the general will have an insight into the general trend of the world and work hard to promote the cooperation between the two peoples of East Asia who share the same culture and race;
Fourth, if the general insists on being hostile to Japan to the end, he can use all his troops to recapture Nanning at any time. Our Nanning garrison will independently fight against the general's 500,000-strong army, and will have enough troops, equipment, aviation power and confidence to win the war;
5. Our army has buried the eight thousand martyrs of the Guangxi Army who died in this battle in Zhongshan Park, Nanning, solemnly offering sacrifices and praying for peace of mind."
"Click" Li Jishen turned off the radio, looked at Bai Chongxi and said, "The little devil's tricks are still the same. What do you think?"
Bai Chongxi said without answering the question, "What about you? How much you hated him when you were in Guangdong. What do you think now?"
Li Jishen took a long breath and said, "The ancients said that the hatred between the country and the family comes first. Today the Japanese invaders invade. Even if Jiang Jie and I have the hatred of killing our father and taking away our wives, we must put it down and focus on the outside world. What's more, we just have different political opinions." ?Didn’t you see that even the Red Party members whose families were destroyed by him didn’t fight with him and focused on resisting Japan and killing the enemy?”
Bai Chongxi knew that what Li Jishen was talking about was about the New Fourth Army. He couldn't help but nodded and said, "The Red Party does have a hand in politics. I originally thought that the New Fourth Army's problem was unsolvable, but I didn't expect that the Red Party acted as if nothing had happened. In their eyes We don't care about this army or this place, but in the world... You are right, the hatred of the country and the hatred of the family, the hatred of the country comes first. I will write a letter back to Ando Rikichi and let him take a good look at us. The backbone of Chinese soldiers!”
——Nanning
"Abuse and ridicule cannot scare us. We can only beat the wolf that breaks into our home hard with a big stick. This is our answer. If you want to fight, then fight. Why bother talking nonsense?"
Ando Rikichi felt his veins twitching, and shouted loudly to the communications soldiers outside, "Order all the ministries to attack me!! Attack!!!"
——Kunlun Pass
"Hit me! Beat me hard! Brothers, behind us is our home. We have no retreat. Think about the good things these beasts did in Nanjing. If we don't want our home to become the second You two Nanjings, die here!" He Xuan shouted loudly as he looked at the Japanese troops who were like locusts at the foot of the mountain.
"When I live, my country will perish, when I die, my country will survive! When I live, my country will perish, and when I die, my country will survive!" First a position, then a hilltop, and slowly the entire Kunlun Pass rang with a thunderous slogan, and all the officers and soldiers of the Gui Army He glared at the attacking Japanese troops and made up his mind to fight to the death.
This slogan even reached the attacking Japanese headquarters. Imamura walked out of the headquarters, looked at Kunlun Pass with a telescope, and asked, "Are they shouting something?"
Immediately, a translator lowered his head and said, "They are shouting the slogan of a fight to the death, which means that if they only want to survive, then the country will perish. If they all die fighting here, then the country can survive."
Z frowned and looked carefully with a telescope, only to see the Japanese troops constantly charging into the Gui Army's position and being driven back again and again. Those small Gui Army soldiers all seemed like monkeys.
He was extremely flexible and unafraid of death. More than once, he saw soldiers from the Gui Army rolling down the mountain with Japanese soldiers in their arms. He shook his head and said, "This battle is difficult to fight. The Gui Army has always been a force with the Bushido spirit. Such
Even if the troops are armed with swords and spears, they will not be easily defeated."
As he said that, Imamura laughed again and said, "But our imperial army is the real samurai. Well, let us see who is the real samurai."
"We've got it! We've got it! Our military flag has been put up!" Suddenly, an officer beside him shouted happily. Imamura immediately picked up the telescope and continued to look. Sure enough, he saw that a flag was put up on Santang's position.
The Japanese military flag, he nodded with satisfaction, but before he could say the words of praise, he saw balls of fire appearing on the position, huge smoke and dust obscured his sight, and he put it down numbly
Using the telescope, he understood that this was because the Gui army had placed a large amount of explosives under their positions in advance, and that they were dying together. He gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to attack! This battle is only allowed to advance, not retreat!!"
On the other side, in the dense mountain forest, groups of people wearing strange clothes that made Du Yuming find them were holding axes and saws and frantically cutting down trees. He found that these people included Yao people, Miao people, and a few people who he couldn't even name.
Among them were young women, white-haired old men, and teenagers. A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit raised his hand to Du Yuming and said, "Debao is a small county with not many people, only seven or eight."
It’s just ten thousand. I can only mobilize these more than 30,000 people to help open the way for the army. Please don’t be offended, General Du. Since Chief Bai has given the order, we will definitely complete the task on time!"
Du Yuming pointed at the people and asked in disbelief, "Thirty thousand? You can actually mobilize so many people?"
The middle-aged man said with shame, "We in Guangxi have established various systems since Li Bai, the two officials. It's because of my incompetence that I can only mobilize these people, but it's useless no matter how many people come, the tools
It’s not enough. Here are all the axes and saws in our county. Our county has a total of 117 miles of roads, and as far as I know, there are 500 miles from our county to Chongzuo. We have more than 20 miles of roads in these 500 miles.
One hundred thousand people are working, and within a week, a temporary passage will be opened for the army.
As he said that, Du Yuming saw that the big tree that had been cut down had been cut into wooden planks. Although it was very crude, after it was laid on the ground, the potholes could no longer be seen. He looked at the road that stretched to an unknown place, and looked at those hands.
The common man, who had blood blisters all over his face and remained silent, couldn't help but turn around and wipe his tears. He shouted loudly, "Order the troops to help immediately! As early as possible, as early as possible."
