"Report to the Commander-in-Chief. A troop arrived at Suqiao Town, 10 kilometers away, at dawn in the early morning."

An adjutant hurriedly walked into the bunker at the forward position with a briefcase and reported to Shen Hongying, who was looking there with a telescope on his butt.

Two flattering guards quickly helped him sit back on the big chair covered with mink fur. Shen Hongying took the lit hookah and took a few big puffs to soothe his aching brain before lazily asking. : "Is it Li Zongren's little eggy army?"

"It was foggy in the morning, so I couldn't see where the other party was coming from. But the other party acted very quickly. Only one of the lurking sentries came back on horseback to report the news." After the adjutant finished speaking, he stood aside quietly, working under Shen Hongying, doing everything. Don't worry, just bow your head and obey.[

"Send a regiment, no, take out a brigade to block it behind. Let people shout, just say that I, Shen Hongying, welcome all heroes who come to help, but I am not afraid of them coming to help Lu Rongting. If they are all against Guilin, Just say that we give up the south for them to attack, and after the attack is over, I don’t want Guilin anymore.”

Shen Hongying's brows furrowed. His subordinates who were familiar with his actions all knew that he wanted to steal money and women again. Instead of being disgusted, many people were eager to try. In counties, towns, and other places, they had robbed more. This This is the first time I have seen the huge Guilin. It seems that the commander has changed his mind and no longer wants Guilin, and is ready to grab a handful and leave as usual.

"Quick...quick..."

Lingshang Village is the only way to the western gateway of Guilin. A brigade of Shen Hongying's troops has occupied this place. Having received the news in advance, Shen Hongying's troops are ready to come up with ways to divide the spoils and persuade them by force. The troops fighting Qiu Feng join the camp attacking Guilin. Of course, if it is the enemy...

"Brothers, listen to me. Listen to me later. If I shout to hit, everyone should aim a little. If I don't shout to hit, whoever dares to fire a gun randomly will be hit by me."

A brigade commander with his hat on his head waved his hand and signaled the troops to start preparations.

"Brigadier, how long until the fighting starts? I, I need to pee..." A regimental commander ran up to the brigade commander's side and asked for instructions in a low voice.

"You fucking lazy person poops a lot, go ahead, go ahead, I think it will take more than half an hour at least..."

"Boom...boom...boom..." Before the brigade commander could finish his words, he heard a strange sound. He said it was a cannon. The sound was a little quieter. He said it was a firecracker, but the sound was a little louder.

"boom……"

Before he could figure it out, he couldn't even tell that the sound was very close. He just felt that after a violent explosion, he was no longer conscious...

"Well done! The boys from the artillery camp finally didn't waste the past few years of training artillery."

In the mountain col here, after seeing clearly that several enemy officers were blown away by the artillery and fell down the mountain like kites with broken strings, Chen Jun put down his binoculars and couldn't help but cheer for the performance of the mortar battalion just now. The troops set off in the early morning, leading the way. The company was the first unit to arrive by car. When the leading troops just arrived, they found a unit coming from the direction of Guilin City and were preparing to climb the mountain to set up a defense line.

The distance of 10 kilometers was already very short, especially since the militia troops had trucks and moved quickly. Soon even the supply troops arrived at Lingshang Village.

"It's okay to be so well-dressed. He looks like an official at first glance. He still stands in the most conspicuous place. He deserves to be covered by artillery fire." Ye Yulong, the political commissar of the second brigade, couldn't help but said happily. As an old man of the militia, he is also the first graduate of the Huaxia Military Academy.

, he also understands the importance of soldiers and speed, "Brigade commander, let me lead the charge personally!!"

"No!" Chen Jun raised his hand and rejected his application, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, "Because I want to go too. You can control the formation from behind and let me come with these minions."

After saying that, he immediately gave the order: "Send the order!"

"have!!"

"Order to gather the mortars of each company and cooperate with the brigade's heavy mortar battalion to suppress fire. Order the first regiment to attack from the front, and the second and third regiments to outflank the enemy from the flanks. The battle must be resolved as quickly as possible!" [

Facing an opponent who was not at the same level at all, although Chen Jun was cautious enough, he easily issued combat orders.

“Tum…Tum…Tum…”

Counting three mortars in a company, plus the directly affiliated heavy mortar battalion, nearly eighty mortars in the entire second brigade began to roar together.

The cannon pulled a faint white trajectory and shot to the opposite hill in a curve visible to the naked eye. Because they had witnessed their brigade commander and several senior officers being killed by several cannons, Shen Hongying's bandits were still in a daze.

, how can it withstand such overwhelming bombing.

The first volley of artillery fire had just exploded on the hilltop. Not to mention the casualties, the bandits' psychological defense line was immediately knocked down.

"Ah...ah!!! Run..." A Shen bandit soldier saw with his own eyes that the brigade commander and others were blown away, and then saw the company commander who was seven or eight meters away from him being blown into pieces by a cannon.

The pieces of debris splashed, and his legs suddenly softened, and he rolled down the mountain. He got up and started running.

Fight? Why fight?! Both the brigade commander and the adjutant were killed. The other side has so many artillery pieces, this battle cannot be fought.

"Come on!"

The three militia groups responsible for attacking saw the explosion of artillery and immediately organized troops to charge. Under the suppression of a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns, the opponent who had no defense or fortifications could raise his head and shoot with only the advantage of the hill. That was called

Strange things.

"Da da da……"

When I heard the sound of the opponent's heavy machine gun, it kept beeping like beans fried in an iron pot. They were running faster here, and no one thought about blocking them. They were the leaders of the group, lacked training, and had low equipment.

, I was shocked in the first battle...

So, after only two mortar salvos, when the three regiments rushed up, all they saw was a brigade bandit army fleeing toward Guilin like a duck behind the mountain. The clever militia soldiers had already begun to slide down.

On the hillside, we went to capture the bandits.

"Damn! For this little gain, order the troops to board the car immediately and capture these garbage on the spot. After removing the bolts of the guns, send troops to watch."

Chen Jun looked at the bandits who were escaping so fast, thinking that they could only use trucks to chase them, otherwise they would have to chase them all the way to the gate of Guilin.

Two legs couldn't outrun a car, especially the new big truck of the militia. It only took less than ten minutes to capture most of the bandit brigade.

There was no other way. The only bandit soldiers who were able to run away were short of breaking their belts. When they heard the sound of engines and loudspeakers coming from behind, they looked back curiously and saw large trucks carrying heavy machine guns.

, chasing him, and within half a minute, those who dared to run were knocked down by heavy machine gun fire one after another.

"Put down your weapons. Surrender without killing. If you run again, you will shoot."

Guilin City

"Supervisor Lu, I, Wei Sancai, as the plenipotentiary representative of Dongchuan District in Guilin, officially inform you that our reinforcements have arrived outside the city and are about to launch a general offensive. Supervisor Lu please be sure to organize a counterattack immediately and prevent a possible rout of troops from entering the city.

It harms the common people."

Wei Sancai stood in front of Lu Rongting in formal attire, suppressing the excitement in his heart. He knew that from today on, Guilin, and even Guangxi as a whole, would change their surnames.

"How many troops are coming?" Lu Rongting, whose eyes had been tortured by the fierce battle for a week, finally heard the best news since the war began.

"One and a half divisions!" Wei Sancai said ambiguously. He did not dare to say that there was a brigade outside the city. If he did, Lu Rongting would probably not dare to organize an elite counterattack. He did not lie to him that the troops of one and a half divisions were just scattered.

From the military intelligence briefing he just received, he already knew the detailed arrangements for this military operation.[

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Lu Rongting took out the gun from his waist and waved, "Yun Lun, gather our most elite troops immediately and follow me out of the city."

In his opinion, Shen Hongying could never defeat the elite Dongchuan Army, which consisted of one and a half divisions. Fortunately, he did not know that the Dongchuan Army only had one brigade outside the city.

"Da da da...bang...boom..."

Outside Guilin, continuous explosions sounded from all directions almost at the same time. Shen Hongying, who had just heard the fierce fighting sounds coming from the direction of Lingshui Village and was about to send someone to check the situation, was trying to gather his troops with a ferocious look on his face.

"Tum..."

A mortar exploded in a pile of rocks more than thirty meters away from him, and the soldiers gathering around him suddenly fell to the ground with howls.

"Commander, something serious is going wrong!!"

The shocking sound of gunfire seemed to come from all directions, as if several divisions were attacking Shen Hongying's troops at the same time. Finally, a staff officer ran over and said, "Commander, I don't know where these troops came from. There are so many machine guns and cannons."

The dead men first defeated the Third Independent Brigade, and now launched a full-scale attack on us. Lu Rongting from the city also rushed out with more than one brigade of troops!!!"

The bandits were dispersedly deployed, fought fiercely for several days, and were poorly trained. Even when encountering a sudden surprise attack from behind, they did not know how to organize an effective defense.

"Damn it, I've seen too many big battles. I can't keep my grandpa in Guilin today." Shen Hongying ordered other officers to gather the troops responsible for attacking and surrounding Guilin, and jumped on the seven or eight troops that were brought in urgently.

Boxes, in a hurry, he actually prepared to repeat the old tune: "Listen to me, these eight boxes..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of intensive engines in the distance. Standing on the box, the bandit leader looked back and opened his mouth wide. He saw someone driving on the open road outside Guilin.

There were seven or eight large trucks in front and behind.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there is a heavy machine gun on top.

"If you block it, I'll give you a reward of 100, no, 1,000, I'll reward you with 1..."

The heavy machine guns on the truck opened fire together, and the machine gun fire from one of the shuttles hit Shen Hongying, who was standing on the box and preparing to organize a death squad, into many pieces.

"Put down your arms and surrender." The truck drove back and forth while shouting slogans through the loudspeaker to persuade them to surrender. Some stubborn bandit soldiers wanted to get down and shoot or find a hiding place to continue resisting, but they were shot by a heavy machine gun. Torn into pieces.

This situation happened all over Guilin.

The scattered bandit troops of nearly 20,000 were either attacked from behind by troops suddenly charging in, or shot at by several large trucks with heavy machine guns mounted on sandbags. Instead of those who wanted to resist stubbornly in the open area, they waited. It's a series of cannons that are almost killing each other.

Poor training, seven consecutive days of fighting, insufficient medicine, no fighting spirit, huge disparity in firepower, and being attacked from both sides...

For half a day, the situation was like this everywhere outside Guilin City. Shen Hongying, the bandit leader in troubled times, was completely defeated.

"Reporting to the chief of staff, the fighting outside Guilin has basically been resolved, and the battlefield is now being cleaned." The communications staff trotted up to Jiang Baili and reported with a salute.

"Order: Fire another three mortar salvos. Then tell Li Zongren that he has the last two minutes. If he does not surrender immediately, we will launch a general attack on time." Jiang Baili still heard a little about Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, but He is a soldier in troubled times, and he has some desire for power in his heart. Generally speaking, he is talented. Moreover, the other party has not made any mistakes. According to Zhang Shusheng's instructions, if the two of them resist stubbornly, they will be arrested. If they are stubborn, they will be arrested. , that means shoot to death.

After all, Guangxi does not need this department or that department. Guangxi only needs the voice of one person. Unfortunately, Li and Bai, who wanted to express their own voice, went on the wrong path the first time they sent troops.

Five minutes later, the communications staff officer ran over and reported: "Reporting to the chief of staff, Li Zongren has officially announced conditional surrender at 12:34 noon!"

"Okay, forward the battle situation to Brigadier Chen Jun and Division Commander Chu Shiwen."

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
