Sword: Li Yunlong advised me to be civilized

Chapter 131 Let you see the vast ocean of people’s war!

The person who came was the acting director of Fuxing Society. He immediately dismissed everyone else!

The office was empty in an instant, and the acting director quickly reported!

"Captain, I've confirmed with You Guocai that the artillery they encountered this morning was identical to the artillery used by the Guangxi Army! Our personnel stationed in the 25th Army have also confirmed that the artillery came from Guangxi Province. Furthermore, this same artillery was used when Kunmin was attacked on the night of May 5st..."

"What?" The man behind the table lost his composure for a moment, his brain working rapidly.

This morning, You Guo urgently reported that the 25th Army Independent Division was suddenly attacked by Wang Jialie's troops and suffered heavy losses. He was just a little surprised that Wang Jialie would take the initiative to attack, but considering that the two of them had been fighting for three years, it was not surprising.

But now it seems that the reason behind Wang Jialie's sudden appearance was the batch of arms supported by the Guangxi clique.

Moreover, the Guangxi clique had sinister intentions, secretly supplying the Red Army with a large number of artillery pieces. Their intentions were clear: the Red Army's attack on Kunmin was intended to draw the three armies together and then inflict heavy damage on most of the Central Army in one fell swoop...

Alas! Xue Bolin, I wrongly blamed you! Yeah! That's right, fortunately I directly ordered the 53rd Division to provide support. At the cost of half a division, I saved the three armies. I was very lucky.

On the other side, Dai Yu Nong was very nervous. The File Investigation Bureau had been very restless these past two days, always interfering in matters concerning the 25th Army. But thinking that the File Investigation Bureau seemed to have got clues about Feng Xi, the acting director was sweating profusely. No, instead of letting the File Investigation Bureau kill me, I'd better save myself!

"Captain! There's another thing. After careful investigation, the Fuxing Society has gathered sufficient evidence to prove that when Fengxi County fell, the enemy's heavy firepower was identical to the Gui army's new artillery! Furthermore, the bandits in southwestern Guizhou have long been controlled by the Gui clique..."

"what?"

The person behind the desk could no longer sit still, and suddenly stood up, walking around the office with his hands behind his back!

"Oh my god! I'm starting to wonder, how did the Red Army from Hunan, Hubei, and Sichuan suddenly appear in western Guizhou? It turns out it was the Guangxi clique behind this, sneaking through southwestern Guizhou...

Li Deling's purpose was to release Wang Jialie and return to Guizhou. With this former chairman around, the Guangxi clique would have an excuse to advance northwards!"

At this time, the attendant ran in in a panic.

"Report! Pingnan has an urgent telegram: Thousands of bandits are crossing the river to attack Pingnan. There are suspicions of Guangxi troops south of Panjiang! The Pingnan County militia is relying on the advantageous terrain to put up a tenacious resistance. The Guangxi clique has called Pingnan, offering to send troops to suppress the bandits, but Xu Shengze has sternly refused..."

"Damn it! Li Deling wants to ally with Wang Jialie and swallow up Guizhou Province. This is outrageous and simply too much!"

Suddenly, he caught sight of the battle map and was shocked.

Not good! Li Deling first attacked the 88th Division. This was a pretense of repairing the plank road, but in reality, he was preparing to take Pingnan in one fell swoop. Southwest Guizhou was not conducive to the passage of the army. Taking Pingnan would allow them to go straight to Guiyang. It seemed that they wanted to take over Guizhou Province, but if the Gui army went further west, they could block the western gate of Guizhou Province.

This? The blockade is not limited to Guizhou Province. If there is any change in Sichuan Province, the three elite troops of the Central Army will be trapped in the southwest.

Danger! The worst scenario seemed to emerge in his mind. Most of the elite troops were trapped in a corner of the southwest. How could the various princes not rebel?

"Damn it! Li Deling, what a cruel scheme! But fortunately, Shengze's telegram arrived just in time, and I've seen through your ruse.

Come, order the troops stationed in Guangdong and Hunan to immediately launch a full-scale attack on the nearby Guangxi troops...

Telegraph to Xue Bolin: All three armies must march south immediately, advancing to western Guangxi Province! This order concerns the survival of the Bai family, and must be carried out swiftly!

Also! Notify Yunnan Province and tell them who attacked Kunmin. Request the Yunnan Army's eastern front to immediately attack the Guangxi clique!

"Military forces stationed in other provinces, quickly prepare yourselves. This time, I will defeat the Guangxi clique and put down the Guangxi rebellion!"

"Yes! I dare to ask what to do with Pingnan? Should we send out rescue?" The attendant knew how important Xu Shengze was in Qilu's mind.

"Oh! No need. Far water can't quench a nearby fire. Pingnan can't be defended. Call Shengze back and tell him to evacuate Pingnan immediately... Use Yu's private plane to pick him up and bring him to Nanjing! Yes! And his father too!"

"Yes!"

--------------

As the sky gradually darkened, the capital of the Guangxi clique, the headquarters.

Bai Jiansheng’s roar almost blew the office apart!

"Brother, am I right? Xu Shengze is Old Chang's man, otherwise why would the 88th Division suddenly cross the river? This is a classic case of besieging Wei to save Zhao. We should attack Pingnan in one fell swoop. Why did you order the 44th Division to support the 45th Division?"

General Li exhaled a puff of smoke and took a deep breath.

"Jiansheng, you're right, but it's not that simple. My previous analysis was accurate. Pingnan was a decoy. I estimate that when you sent the 44th Division across the river, they likely had irrefutable evidence, which is why the 88th Division dared to take action.

Oh! It seems that Old Chang had planned this all along, otherwise how could she have secretly transported the naval guns to the 88th Division?

The two men simultaneously recalled the pilot's report that the Central Army had large-caliber artillery. He saw with his own eyes a shell fall, and a newly assembled company was wiped out!

The two men couldn't think of any other artillery with such great power except naval guns!

Admiral Li exhaled another puff of smoke, his expression helpless, and continued.

"I had no choice but to transfer most of the 44th Division. The 45th Division was losing ground, and troops from other places were too late to rescue it. If the 45th Division's defense line was breached, the Central Army would appear behind the eastern front of Guangxi Province. Then the eastern front defenders would be attacked from both sides, and the consequences would be disastrous!"

When Bai Jiansheng heard this, he seemed to suddenly understand!

At this time, the adjutant knocked on the door hurriedly.

"Report! The eastern front has been bombed by large numbers of aircraft, causing heavy losses to all units. The bombing is still ongoing... In addition, all armies have reported large-scale movements of the Central Army in Hunan and Guangdong provinces..."

What? Li and Bai were stunned for a moment. How could Nanjing move so quickly?

Come to think of it, the western part of Guangdong Province was actually controlled by the Guangxi clique. To carry out the bombing so quickly, only the aviation school in the capital of Guangdong Province could dispatch a large number of aircraft...

Before the two of them could give orders, another piece of bad news came.

"Report from the Western Front! The Yunnan Army and our army have engaged in a firefight!"

Bai Jiansheng was dumbfounded. This was a war on all sides! The flames of war were ignited on three sides of Guangxi Province. Suddenly, a name came to his mind: Xu Shengze. Could it be because I touched you?

Impossible, impossible! Bai Jiansheng shook his head vigorously, driving out unrealistic thoughts from his mind. That guy couldn't have such great power. Nanjing was definitely behind the scenes.

Soon, the Guangxi clique headquarters made a decision to voluntarily give up a small half of the Guangdong Province defense line on the eastern front and retreat to Guangxi Province, while holding on to the western front!

Bai Jiansheng walked quickly to the telecommunications department.

"Send a telegram to Wang Jialie, saying we are willing to provide the 25th Army with kilograms of gold and ask him to attack Youguocai immediately...

Send a telegram to Sun Shuming, ordering him to fight with all his might. He must capture Pingnan immediately to open a path for the subsequent large force to advance northward!

"Yes!"

Bai Jiansheng lit a cigarette and suddenly realized that his hands were still shaking.

But there was no time to worry. Lao Chang must have made all the necessary preparations. The Guangxi clique was in dire straits at this time. The eldest brother's judgment was correct. Only by quickly taking Pingnan, whether advancing north or going around the back of the 88th Division, the Guangxi clique would gain the initiative on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Sun Shuming detained two regiments on the north bank of Panjiang River, so the 44th Division did not move eastward in its entirety. Sun Shuming had made a great contribution.

Suddenly, the name appeared in Bai Jiansheng's mind again.

Humph! Xu Shengze, your telegrams these past two days have been quite arrogant. Don't you like money? I hope you live long enough to spend it!

--------------

At the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, high in the sky, the cormorant headed straight for the headquarters of the 25th Army. The captain had reminded them several times that after flying for five hours in a row, even with auxiliary fuel tanks, the fuel was only enough for returning home.

Inside the cabin, Xu Zhenhua was not very happy. The unlimited bombing was very troublesome. He needed to keep buying bombs, and then install small parachutes to pull out the bombs. He also had to manually unlock the safety in advance. Damn it, he was almost exhausted!

I won’t do it anymore in the future. I might as well buy more bombers when I have money!

At this moment, I suddenly received an urgent telegram from Wang Jialie.

"Shengze! The Guangxi clique intends to capture Pingnan in one fell swoop. Zhang Zhigang urgently reports that the 44th Division of the Guangxi Army has not been fully deployed. One regiment has just joined the siege, and the Guangxi Army has already deployed heavy firepower.

In addition, Bai Zhanghui's troops have arrived in Pingnan. It is estimated that it will take another two hours to complete the encirclement! Please make a decision as soon as possible!

Xu Zhenhua's pupils suddenly shrank. He had been arguing with the Guangxi Province for the past two days. The intensity of the bandits' attacks varied, but the Guangxi clique had never used artillery or other siege weapons.

Bai Zhanghui's 1st Division marched too slowly through the mountains and rivers. Even after being urged many times, they only arrived at the scheduled time.

Now, we are in trouble! The bandits and part of the Gui army are attacking the city with all their might. Pingnan must also show its true strength. The enemy troops outside Pingnan must be completely wiped out. Not a single one can escape, otherwise the secret will be lost.

Xu Zhenhua did not dare to delay and generated electricity immediately!

"Pingnan will immediately activate the signal jammer to block the Guangxi clique's communications. Pingnan is in a life-or-death situation. We agree to use all kinds of advanced weaponry. Please ask Pingnan's commander-in-chief, Zhang Zhigang, to use them at your discretion. We must hold out for two hours and delay the enemy forces outside the city while we wait for the 1st Division to complete the encirclement!"

The cormorant immediately adjusted its course and flew towards Pingnan.

Xu Zhenhua knew very well that although Pingnan had advanced weapons, the quantity was insufficient, the balance in the mall was almost empty, and the gold sent by the Guangxi clique had not yet arrived at the military headquarters.

This level is a bit difficult! But it doesn't matter, I'll be there in person to show you the vast ocean of people's war!
