Bai Chongxi is very confused now. On the one hand, he hates the Matouling Red Army, which disrupted his plan. It is this sudden force that allowed him to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress the Red Army. The strategy of going to Huguang in Beijing was completely failed.

The series of achievements achieved by the attack and encirclement of the Red Army lost any meaning due to the collapse of the Forty-fourth Division. The glory before became the current depression. Losing a division was definitely a tragic injury to the Gui Army.

ah.

The Gui army changed from the previous offensive situation to the defensive situation. He thought that with the plan to wipe out the Red Army, his Gui army could take advantage of the situation to occupy southern Hunan, southern Jiangxi and other regions, laying a solid foundation for future out of Guangxi.

But who knew that his hand was cut off by this army as soon as he reached out.

In this case, the Gui army will not only occupy southern Hunan, southern Jiangxi and other areas, but also how to wipe out this strange army and how to defend Guangxi make him, the commander-in-chief, feel embarrassed. I don’t know that a lot of brains have died for this matter.

cell.

When he saw Zhou Hunyuan's telegram, he didn't know whether it was better to ask the Central Army to increase its strength or to strictly refuse the Central Army's help.

The former can be said to be a standard guide to the house. Once the Central Army is inviting to come with the situation and hundreds of thousands of troops are swarming in, his Gui army will no longer be the Gui army. The latter is not as strong as the Gui army, if he is

I really have enough ability to destroy this army. How could I be so cautious? How could I hurriedly shrink my troops and deploy defense? I really have to do my best to wipe them out, flatten them, and the Gulingtou, and if both sides suffer losses, they will still be the center.

-The army accepts wide smile-Xi.

He really hopes that this Red Army unit can block the attack of the Central Army. Even if Guanyang County is handed over to them, the question is, can they stop it? You and the Central Army will fight, let

I have a correct assessment of you, okay? I can’t help but make up my mind if you know your combat effectiveness? Who knows whether I’m doing ridiculous things or raising a man-eating tiger by my side?

Zhou Hunyuan is such a bastard, he knows that I am in a dilemma. He deliberately sent this telegram over and let the group rush.

Just as Bai Chongxi was holding a telegram in his right hand and rubbing his eyebrows with his left hand thinking hard, his nephew was also his combat staff member Hai Jingqiang walked in and reported in a low voice: "General Chief Xia's call is in urgent need. The Communist bandit attacked

Guanyang County!"

Bai Chongxi was stunned and asked, "The Communist bandits attacked Guanyang County? Where did the Communist bandits come from?"

Hai Jingqiang handed the telegram to Bai Chongxi and replied: "It's the bandit army in Matouling."

"They? They actually dare to attack us? Isn't a regiment of the Central Army attacking them now?" Bai Chongxi looked at Hai Jingqiang with disbelief, as if it was the information he had collected. But then asked

, “How many people?”

Hai Jingqiang did not blame Bai Chongxi for not going to see the telegram, but kept asking himself. Instead, he replied seriously: "The two groups of people have more than 4,000! It seems that they have pulled all the main forces over and brought more than 20 doors.

artillery."

"Hmph, they really respect themselves. The forces of just two regiments want to take down our Guanyang County?" Then, Bai Chongxi sneered again. "This bastard really keeps his word. If we don't give it to them, then

Come and get it. I want to see what he has to take down our Guanyang County."

Speaking of this, he suddenly jumped up from the Grand Master's chair and shouted in surprise: "Who is this Guo Zhucheng? Where did he come from? Did we have any news about him before?"

Hai Jingqiang could not have imagined that his uncle, who was usually steady and resourceful, was so out of control. He looked at him in surprise. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No. This is the first time we know his name. We looked for it yesterday afternoon and evening.

Many of the prisoners of the Communist bandits were interrogated. Except for those who did not speak, the other prisoners said that they had never heard of this person. At least he was not among the middle and senior officers of the Communist bandits. Perhaps he really got up from a small soldier.

.Uncle, is he very powerful?”

Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible. This guy is not only good at planning and fighting, but also has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts. He is not afraid that I will let go of the road and let the Central Army come in in anger? I really don't want to give Guangxi and Xijiao.

To that narrow-minded Mr. Jiang, but I don’t want to hand it over to you Communist bandits. If I hand it over to someone Jiang, I can also be an official or a rich man. If I hand it over to you, I will be a little bit of land in my family.

If you take it away, you will kill my life."

Hai Jingqiang hurriedly said, "Uncle, you can't let the Central Army come in! Those guys, like Mr. Jiang, are evil wolves who eat people and don't spit bones. If we lose Guanyang County, we are just a disease of scabies.

The Central Army came in, it would be a catastrophe.”

Bai Chongxi said in pain: "This guy named Guo Zhucheng knows that we have this idea and knows that we have this mentality. That's why he is so unscrupulous and dares to expose his butt, not afraid of the Central Army attacking their nests.

Use the main force on us.”

Hai Jingqiang said tentatively: "Uncle, then let's just leave Guanyang County to him and let him and the Central Military Dog bite the dog. Judging from the current situation, this guy is very capable, and in such a short time, he only

With some remnants and prisoners, a unit was formed, and he and his troops were enough to deal with the Central Army for a period of time.

After handing Guanyang County to him, we can exchange for the commander Wang Zanbin and the commander Mo Dehong who were captured by them. Using this period of time, with the exchanged Wang Zanbin and others, we can also quickly recover our vitality and reorganize a

The division comes..., uncle, why don't you order Commander Xia to negotiate with the other party immediately? It's too late. If the Central Army knows that their main force is fighting us, we will be passive if we take action. They will definitely send a large army.

Drive straight in."

As Bai Chongxi's nephew and Bai Chongxi's senior adviser, Hai Jingqiang is naturally a confidant among Bai Chongxi's confidants. Naturally, he also knows Bai Chongxi's inner plans. He can say anything that others dare not say directly.

Bai Chongxi shook his head and opposed it: "No. Guo Zhucheng is so powerful. He is just a tiger, a lurking dragon, a guy who can fly when encountering wind and clouds. We let him breathe, just wait for him to get breathe.

He will backfire us if he has the opportunity. Think about it, he will have at least two regiments now. If we hand over the Red Army we captured to him according to his proposal, he will be enough to form a division, or even two

Division. At that time, do you think he will attack the central army owned by Hu-nan, Jiang-xi, or Guang-xi that we own?”

Hai Jingqiang said without thinking: "Of course it's our Guangxi, we pick up the soft persimmons... No, then don't we hand over the captive Red Army to them? We have two thousand in our hands

How red - the army captive."

In addition to the Central Army, among the various Chinese warlords, the combat effectiveness of the Gui army can be said to be one of the best. The reason why the Red Army suffered a crushing defeat in the Xiangjiang Battle and the heavy losses was closely related to the crazy attack of the Gui army.

The 18th Red Army, which caused the entire army to be wiped out in history, was done by the Gui army, and the 34th Red Division was wiped out in history. The 8th Red Army was defeated by the Gui army and finally abolished the establishment. The 10th Red Army

The Third Division also suffered huge losses in the battle at Qianjia Temple. This battle alone was captured by the Gui army by more than 600 Red Army officers and soldiers, and even the flag of the Red Thirteenth Division was captured by the Gui army.

At that time, there was a song in the Red Army to describe the combat effectiveness of warlords in various systems: "The two sheep of the Yunnan Army and Guizhou Army were the Hunan Army; the Guangxi Monkey was the Gui Army, as fierce as a tiger as a wolf.

”

Bai Chongxi said in pain: "Yes, if we hand over more than 2,000 prisoners of war to them, then he will be like a tiger with wings. It won't take long to become food in his stomach."

Hai Jingqiang asked hurriedly: "What should we do now?"

Bai Chongxi calmed down at this time and said, "I, Mr. Bai, don't want to be played by a rising star, he is not qualified enough. Since he believes that he has grasped the psychology of us and the Central Army, since he wants to take advantage of our conflicts.

The fisherman's trick to win the profits of a crane and clam fight, then I will let him beat him up and let him know that it is not his turn to do it freely."

Hai Jingqiang asked in confusion: "Are you preparing to...?"

Bai Chongxi did not answer him immediately, but looked down at the telegram. After reading it, he sneered: "I knew this guy was bluffing. Facing the Central Army, he bluffed, and facing my Gui Army, he bluffed. You can give it to me immediately.

He sent a telegram to Xia Wei and asked him if the Red Army, who was sieging the city, was digging trenches, repairing bunkers, and building positions?"

Hai Jingqiang said in surprise: "Impossible? Now it can be said that the fire is burning. There is the Central Army attack behind it, and the Gui army is using the city wall to block it. Why do they dare to use so much leisure time to make such great preparations.

?”

He said this, but he was not slow and ran to the communication room outside.

Bai Chongxi calmly walked towards the military map, his eyes scanning back and forth at Gulingtou, Matouling, Jieshou Ferry Crossing, Guanyang County and other places, and his mind was constantly improving his action plan and military deployment.

In less than half an hour, Hai Jingqiang hurried in, holding the new telegram and said, "Uncle, you are really good at predicting things. The Communist Party really blatantly built fortifications under our city walls and dug them out.

Trenches and build artillery positions. They completely act like a long-term battle and a steady attitude."

Bai Chongxi did not show a complacent expression in front of the younger generation because of his correct predictions. He decisively ordered: "Record!..., order the Seventh Army to go north immediately..."

Just when Bai Chongxi dispatched troops and decided to eliminate Guo Zhucheng's troops under the strong city and set up heavy troops to block the central army's involvement in Guangxi, Guo Zhucheng and others were still walking on the road in Jianghua County.
