Hai Jingqiang's eyes lit up and said, "Are you showing the enemy to be weak and snubbing his heart?" Are you ready to take on them? ”

Bai Chongxi said: "Jiang someone's heart will not die. Guo Zhuocheng was defeated, he just didn't want to fight to the death with my Gui army, and the central army would force him to come, and he couldn't do it if he wasn't prepared. ”

Hai Jingqiang asked: "Uncle, how long do you estimate that the Central Army and Guo Bandits will fight in Jianghua County this time?" Can Guo Bandit last a week? ”

Bai Chongxi shook his head and said: "It is estimated that it will be difficult to hold on for a week, he has some rabble in his hands, and he lacks weapons and ammunition, and the Central Army has artillery and aircraft." Besides, he wouldn't be there for a week, how much ammunition would have to be consumed, how many lives would have to be filled. In my estimation, they will be forced to retreat for four or five days at most, and it will be up to them to drill into our pockets or run to a place we don't know. ”

Hai Jingqiang quickly scanned the map with his eyes and asked, "Do they still have a place to run?" ”

Bai Chongxi was obviously full of high hopes for Hai Jingqiang, and his nephew Hai Jingqiang later became the most important general of the Gui Army in history, controlling the elite troops of the Gui Army.

Seeing him ask, Bai Chongxi took the trouble to say: "The defense line of the Central Army looks very solid on the surface, but in fact, the whole is a walnut, that is, it is the outside. As long as you smash its shell hard, the inside is full of walnut kernels, which can be swallowed in a big gulp. Perhaps, this surnamed Guo is hoping to annihilate our 44th Division and defeat Xiao Zhiping's two divisions, and then enter their original old base area. This guy is really a little whimsical, he won a lucky victory against our Gui Army last time, thinking that the Central Army-Army is also a good match......"

At this moment, a communications staff officer strode in and shouted: "Report!" Emergency! ”

Hai Jingqiang hurriedly walked over to take the telegram, and respectfully handed it to Bai Chongxi with both hands.

Bai Chongxi was slightly stunned, pretending to be very calm and picked up the telegram draft.

It was already dark outside, so he approached the electric light and glanced at it. "How is this possible?" ”

What made Hai Jingqiang and the communications staff officer unbelievable was that Bai Chongxi actually tilted his body and sat on the ground. When the two of them were about to help, he got up from the ground and read the contents of the telegram again.

After a while, he sighed and ordered the communications staff officer: "Immediately notify the four planes of the Air Force to prepare for takeoff!" Immediately hand over the Red Army prisoners sent to them near the town of Baimangying. ”

After the communications staff officer left suspiciously. He also said to the suspicious Hai Jingqiang: "Immediately prepare three million silver dollars, two hundred catties of gold, and two thousand catties of silver to send to the airport, and let them be sure to send them to Jianghua County this evening and throw them down by airdrop." The Red captives were to be entertained, given new clothes, and escorted at once. ”

"Ah-" Hai Jingqiang said in surprise, "Uncle." How is it that the amount of compensation is twice as much as he said before? ”

Bai Chongxi did not pay attention to his nephew's description of those gold and silver dollars as compensation, but said in frustration: "The last time they said in the telegram, it will increase by fifty percent for every twenty-four hours of delay. We delayed for two days just to wait and see. Hurry up and prepare, the sooner the better, it's too late and the pilot won't be able to fly back if he can't see it. It's a trivial matter if he can't fly back, and if he can't pick up the attack on us, we'll be in big trouble. By then......,......, he had already annihilated the two divisions of the Central Army, captured the seriously wounded commander Xiao Zhiping, and killed the deputy commander Wang Dongyuan. ”

At this time, Hai Jingqiang also sat on the ground and asked again and again: "How is it possible, how is it possible?" The central government-army just rushed to the county seat of Jianghua County, right? Why was it all wiped out? Is he bragging? ”

Bai Chongxi grimaced his old face and muttered, "Bragging? I wish he was bragging. ……。 Who the hell is this guy and what is he capable of? Will he repent of killing us? ”

The piece of paper in his hand slipped from his hand and fell to the floor and landed beside Hai Jingqiang.

Hai Jingqiang picked up the telegram and read it, and just as he was about to ask again, anger appeared in Bai Chongxi's eyes and roared, "You're going to go quickly." If you make a mistake, Lao Tzu will kill you with his own hands! ”

The first time he was angrily scolded by Bai Chongxi, Hai Jingqiang was scared and aggrieved, he immediately got up and quickly rushed out of the war room.

Bai Chongxi slumped in his chair. He didn't move for a long time.

……

The battle in Jianghua County was lackluster, but it was really because the disparity between the two sides of the battlefield battle was too great, and the Central Army was caught in the encirclement of the other side and did not know it, until the artillery commanded by Luo Xi began to test fire, they still thought that their strength was much stronger than the Red Army, and they were still laughing at the light and heavy machine guns of the Red Army wasting bullets.

It wasn't until the artillery fired a school shot and more than a dozen shells fell from the sky, directly blowing up the headquarters into a crater, that these people were stunned and didn't know why it had become like this.

Then, the artillery under the command of Luo Xi began to plow the shells in the ranks of the center-army, blowing their artillery positions into ruins, and they really knew that the Red Army in front of them was not at all what they imagined, and their weapons were much more powerful than their own. The roaring light and heavy machine guns weren't meant to kill them at all, they were just to drive them together so that the shells could bombard.

Just when they came to their senses and realized that their flesh and blood would be too much to resist, they scattered their legs and fled. Behind them, fierce gunfire rang out, and a stream of Red Army soldiers rushed into the ranks behind them like divine soldiers, killing those Central Army crying fathers and mothers, and running forward in despair.

The two huge torrents collided together like this, magnifying the panic in their hearts countless times at once, and there was no one who was not trembling with fright, and no one was not broken......

As the Red Army in front also began to charge, and as the Red Army shouted surrender and not kill, countless soldiers of the Central Army breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground one by one and raised their guns in their hands.

The battle was over, and it took a lot of twenty minutes from the time Luo Xi's artillery was fired until not a single soldier of the Central Army was standing. And their morale collapsed earlier, and they didn't last ten minutes before they were discharged.

The fighting power of the Red Army was too strong, their artillery fire was too fierce.

The next thing left is the trivial matter of cleaning up the battlefield.

When the Central Army collapsed and fled, Guo Zhuocheng was already dictating the telegram to Bai Chongxi to Sheng Guozhen, and when the telegram was finished and was about to be sent, the news came from the front that Xiao Zhiping was seriously injured and captured, and Wang Dongyuan was killed into pieces by the first round of artillery fire.

So, Guo Zhuocheng added these contents again.

So much so that after Bai Chongxi received this telegram, he was almost stupid, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered the pilot to send the gold, silver, and silver dollars proposed by Guo Zhuocheng overnight, and immediately handed over the captured Red Army prisoners of war to the Red Army in Baimangying Town. I'm afraid that it will be too late to provoke Guo Zhuocheng, and when the time comes, Gui-Lin will naturally no longer belong to the Gui army: they will eliminate the central army-the army and cut vegetables, can you still hold Gui-Lin before the big army is in place?

As for whether Guo Zhuocheng will regret it, whether he will still send troops to Gui-Lin after receiving the gold, silver and silver dollars, Bai Chongxi did not think too much, whether Guo Zhuocheng's troops came or not, he, as the head of the Gui army, would not care about these property, these property is astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people, and in his Bai Chongxi's opinion, it is nothing more than that, no matter what, these property can more or less form a good relationship with him.

The night in Jianghua County was very lively, the county town and the battlefield were full of lights, the Red Army was happily cleaning up the battlefield, collecting tons and tons of weapons and equipment, and placing them in designated places, and the prisoners were also classified according to their physical condition, and those who were physically strong - except for the officers - were quickly divided among the units and forcibly divided into the various units.

Guo Zhuocheng set up two more brigades here, one was the fourth brigade, captain Wang Shitai. An engineer brigade, the captain of which was Liu Xiangyang, resigned from the post of deputy captain of the artillery brigade.

The reason why Guo Zhuocheng changed Liu Xiangyang, a mortar expert, to the post of commander of the engineer brigade is that Liu Xiangyang can drive automobiles, drive engineering vehicles, lay mines, and build bridges, and the engineering unit will be a very important branch of the troops, and leadership must be strengthened. So he had to endure the pain of parting his love, and the artillery brigade let Luo Xi hold up.

As for the reason why Wang Shitai served as the captain, it was entirely because he had excellent command in this battle, was brave and strategic, especially when he was able to fight resolutely, and did not love war when retreating, and the command simply did not drag the mud and water, which made Guo Zhuocheng appreciate it very much. And that Wang Fugui lacked military command ability, and his mental arithmetic ability was good, so Guo Zhuocheng transferred him to the logistics brigade, where he could greatly exert his strengths.

In this battle, a total of 3,000 prisoners were captured alive, and in addition to the more than 1,000 Red Army prisoners returned by the Gui Army, even after excluding those prisoners who were old, weak, sick, disabled, and dead and refused to join the Red Army, the number of the Einsatzgé suddenly expanded to more than 15,000 people, and the morale of the Einsatzgruppen rose to an unprecedented height.

Guo Zhuocheng concentrated the seized weapons, ammunition, food, clothing, and quilts of the Central Army in a few places, and after the special forces were put under martial law, he put all these materials into his "1934 storage space", which still had a lot of materials that were not taken out last time.

In addition, he also collected all the remaining ores around the county seat of Jianghua County, and by the way, he also collected the gold, silver and some silver dollars sent by Bai Chongxi overnight.

It can be said that the "storage space of 1934" is now full, and it is completely possible to exchange it again. However, Guo Zhuocheng did not exchange, he wanted to find a place and stay for a while.
