Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Zhi put all the results of the Xiyunfeng battle into his own pocket, but the 19th Army Group, which paid a huge price to win the battle, did not mention it at all. Neither Guo Huawen nor Chi Zifeng were kept in the dark.  .

    Liu Zhi's shameless behavior received huge rewards. Chairman Chiang not only issued an order to the entire army in his capacity as chairman of the Military Commission to commend Liu Zhi for his contributions, he also did not hesitate to write and ink, praising Liu Zhi as a contemporary Wu Hou, Bai Qi  Reborn, he can be called a model of a revolutionary general and a model of a revolutionary soldier.

    In addition to the commendations in writing and ink, Liu Zhi was also awarded a Blue Sky Medal, and all the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Route Army were awarded five hundred thousand yuan. For all officers and soldiers who made meritorious service in this battle, Liu Zhi will provide a list of relevant personnel, and a separate list will be provided.  Award, for a time, Liu Zhi attracted much attention and favor, and his name spread among the Central Army and the Japanese Army, so much so that it attracted the attention of the Japanese military intelligence agency, and a special agency was established to target Liu Zhi.

    I don¡¯t know if Liu Zhi would break into a cold sweat again when he learned that the Japanese were paying special attention to him. Anyway, all the bonuses from the National Government fell into his own pocket, and the list of meritorious personnel all came from the No. 1 officer stationed in Majiang.  The Eleventh Army, and as for Guo Huawen's Nineteenth Army, they didn't even know about Chairman Chiang's commendation order. Liu Zhi detained him. No matter how thick-skinned or shameless he was, he couldn't do it so blatantly. Liu Zhi  Be smart and don't do things that would offend the public.

    Of course, the commendation order was issued, and now Dayang has given it to him. Chairman Chiang did not let Liu Zhi rest on his merits and enjoy the rest. He then issued an order to Liu Zhi, asking the East Route Army to continue their efforts and capture the 15th Japanese leader Feng Wen at the foot of the mountain.  The Japanese army was completely wiped out at the gates of Duyun City, breaking the Japanese army's three-pronged attack and supporting the middle and west battlefields.

    Liu Zhi received the order and responded with a telegram, vowing that he would act in accordance with the commission's order. After that, he stood still and did not send any reinforcements to Duyun. There was a reason for this. The 10th Army stationed at Majiang  A group of troops, his direct troops, were reluctant to go to Duyun to fight the Japanese army.

    Guo Huawen's 19th Group Army was a stepmother's son. Even if they spent all their money, Liu Zhi would not feel bad. Moreover, Commander-in-Chief Liu Zhi still hated Guo Huawen in his heart. Later, the Chief of Staff of the East Route Army felt that  This matter went too far, and it was difficult to expose the situation. Guo Huawen took the lawsuit to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, which made him and Liu Zhi look bad.

    He persuaded Liu Zhi to agree to Guo Huawen's request and transfer the heavy artillery regiment of the Eleventh Army to him. The chief of staff thought carefully. Guo Huawen couldn't resist it. If Duyun was lost, Liu Zhi wouldn't be able to gain anything. After all,  It was under his command. Liu Zhi was right when he thought about it, but he couldn't just take advantage of Guo Huawen. Liu Zhi suddenly had a whim and wanted to go to Duyun to inspect the defense. This confirmed the fact that he was personally commanding the front line.

    At that time, no matter what Guo Huawen said, he could not overturn this fact. The Chief of Staff was truly impressed. Otherwise, Commander Liu could sit in such a high position because of his tricks. He might as well give the Chief of Staff the icing on the cake.  Reporters from the Central Daily News were invited all the way from Chongqing to follow Commander-in-Chief Liu to the Duyun front line.

    Liu Zhi was playing hard in Fuquan, and the more he played, the bigger he got. Tang Qiuli quietly left Guangzhou, passing through Sihui, Guangning, Huaiji, Guangdong, and Pingle, Hezhou, Guangxi. Three days later, he arrived at the important town in northeastern Guangxi.  Guilin, that night, I learned that Tang Qiuli was visiting Guilin. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, two giants of the Guilin clan, came to visit together.

    After not seeing each other for a while, both Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were much older and looked very tired. The loss of the Gui army in Nanning was a great loss to the Gui clique, almost shaking its foundation. However, the economy and prosperity of Northeast Guangxi were far behind.  Not as good as the southern Guangxi area, recuperation is particularly difficult for the Gui family.

    When Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi discussed the matter with Tang Qiuli, they did not conceal the current difficulties faced by the Guangxi clique. During the period of complete victory, the Guangxi clique was able to compete with Chairman Chiang's central government, but now it is struggling and retreating.  Sitting in a corner, the huge gap made the two giants of the Gui family feel disappointed.

    Tang Qiuli originally planned to have the Gui Army send troops to participate in the Duyun Battle to completely annihilate Shanxia Fengwen's 15th Army. Only by fighting with the Japanese army on the battlefield with real swords and guns can an army be forged.  As a combat-effective unit, the deeper consideration is to allow the Gui army to participate in the battle, so that they can seize a large number of weapons and equipment of the Japanese army and restore their strength as soon as possible.

    But under the current situation, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were frightened when the war was mentioned. Moreover, they vaguely gloated about the Japanese attack on the Central Army troops in southern Guizhou. They sent troops to help the Central Army and did not even mention it. Tang Qiuli  Li Bai did not hide anything about the Duyun battle he planned.

    The military operations of the Directly Affiliated Corps in Northeast Guangxi cannot be concealed even if they want to. Moreover, after the battle begins, the material supply line coming from Guangzhou has to pass through Northeast Guangxi, which requiresThere are many places to contact us for assistance.

    Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi repeatedly lamented that Tang Qiuli had such capital that he could launch an attack on the Japanese army at any time. They had said all that needed to be said. It was getting late. Looking at Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, they seemed to have something they had not said yet.  He seemed to hesitate to speak.

    Tang Qiuli knew it well and could see that the two giants of the Gui family had their own plans. He didn't tell them anything. He looked at what medicine Li Bai was selling in their gourds. After holding it in for a while, the two looked at each other and Bai Chongxi said: "  Vice Chairman Tang, Mr. Bai has a merciless request. In this battle against the Japanese army Yamashita Fengwenbu, it is foreseeable that the Vice Chairman will achieve a complete victory. Can all the Japanese equipment captured by your army be supplied to Guangxi?  Army, of course, we will buy according to the price, I wonder what the Vice Chairman wants?¡±

    Tang Qiuli was stunned and held it back for a long time. This was the matter. The Japanese equipment had long been eliminated by the various units of the Japanese Army. After it was captured, it was nothing more than refurbishing some steel, and it also had to be equipped with  The cost of transportation, so he smiled and said: "Chairman Li, Supervisor Bai, this matter is not difficult to handle. All the Japanese equipment captured by our army will be provided to you. As for the price  "

    When he said this, he paused. Li Bai and Li Bai immediately pricked up their ears and looked at Tang Qiuli nervously. For the Gui army, what they lack most is weapons and equipment. Even if they have money, they can't buy them. If Tang Qiuli is the lion  The asking price is beyond your ability to bear, so what should you do?

    Tang Qiuli took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I thought about it and settled on half price. I wonder if you two are satisfied?" Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi almost stood up in surprise. They finally managed to keep their prices in check without losing their composure, but their faces  Their excited expressions revealed their inner ecstasy.

    This was a huge favor, and for the Gui family, it was like a favor. Li and Bai left with a lot of gratitude. Tang Qiuli smiled evilly like an old fox. Mei Xue came out of the room and looked at him with a half-smile.  Tang Qiuli curled her bright red lips and said, "You bad guy, you've taken advantage again. You can see it on your face."

    Tang Qiuli immediately said with a grimace: "Xue'er, is this the image I have in your mind? It's so sad." Mei Xue was so amused by him that she couldn't help laughing, as if she was throwing herself into his arms.  Kissing him gently on the face, he said, "Okay, I'm just kidding, I'll make it up to you." Tang Qiuli did take advantage of it, exchanging a bunch of discarded junk for a lot of silver dollars.  He also asked the other party to be grateful. This deal was such a good deal.

    After staying in Guilin for one night, Tang Qiuli left Guilin the next day and continued northward under the auspices of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. He rushed to the Libo area in southern Guizhou, where the direct-affiliated corps was currently gathering. At the same time, the Central Army's Qiannan defense line east of  General Liu Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the Route Army, also came to Duyun City with a large number of reporters from the Central News Agency.

    Although there is no one in the 19th Group Army who is not disgusted with Commander-in-Chief Liu, they still have to cheer up and greet this Shangguan. There is no way, and they cannot afford to offend. Whoever is the commander-in-chief, Liu Zhi does not  You're welcome, as soon as you arrive in Duyun, a military meeting will be held immediately.

    The commander-in-chief who took advantage when he saw an advantage and ran away when he saw danger, contrary to the brief speech he gave in Duyun last time, he gave a long speech. Regardless of what Guo Huawen, whose face was getting more and more ugly, thought, he criticized Duyun's defense. Among them, there were many  It was a matter of nitpicking, but the officers of the 19th Army sitting below had no choice but to hold their noses and listen to the commander-in-chief talk nonsense and talk nonsense.

    The commander of the Fifteenth Army of the Japanese Southern Expeditionary Force, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwen, was also waiting. The impatient Yamashita Fengwen finally arrived on the night Liu Zhi arrived in Duyun, expecting the heavy artillery brigade and foot soldiers to arrive.  A large amount of artillery shells and supplies were constantly harassed and attacked by sporadic Chinese armed forces along the way, and some equipment was lost, but most of them arrived as scheduled.

    Yamashita Fengwen's mood immediately improved. He specially mobilized several engineering regiments to build artillery positions for the heavy artillery brigade overnight. For this moment, the commander almost went crazy. If the artillery could attack now, he would work all night  Launch an attack on Xiyun Peak.

    The next morning, the mist in the mountains had not yet dissipated. Large-caliber heavy artillery pieces were already in place at the current artillery position. The thick barrels pointed eerily at the Xiyunfeng position, and a few pointed at Dudu.  In Yun City, neither Chi Zifeng on Xiyun Peak, nor Guo Huawen in Duyun City, nor Liu Zhi, who was still sleeping high, knew that Yamashita Fengwen's long-awaited killing weapon was ready and waiting.  When the time comes, it will reveal its ferocious sharp teeth.

    At 7:30 in the morning, with a loud bang like a thunderbolt, the Xiyunfeng battlefield, which had been silent for several days, began to be baptized with blood and fire again. The Japanese heavy artillery and large-caliber shells densely covered the main position of Xiyunfeng.  , at the same time, clouds of smoke also rose in Duyun City, and Yamashita Fengwen's offensive began.
