Chapter 1455: A telegram to Bai Chongxi

After finding someone to understand the situation in Jianghua County, Guo Zhuocheng received a telegram from Sun Xingguo and Song Jun, informing them that they had occupied Dalupu Town and were on their way to Baimangying Town. At the same time, they believed that the Gui army was not yet aware of the operations of the Einsatzgruppen, and Sun Xingguo asked Guo if he would allow them to continue their offensive south.

Guo Zhuocheng immediately called back, asking them to build fortifications on the spot immediately after occupying Baimangying Town, and wait for the follow-up troops to take over the defense.

The reason why Sun Xingguo sent a telegram asking whether he would continue the attack was because he and his special combat team felt very uncomfortable, and their group did not encounter any resistance at all in the operation to occupy Dalupu.

Thinking about it, you also know that the Gui army has only arranged a militia regiment to guard the county seat of Jianghua, and those small towns that are much smaller than the county seat naturally do not arrange any troops. Besides, Dalupu and Baimangying Town are completely the rear of the Gui army, and the Red Army has already crossed the Xiangjiang River, where would anyone still think that there would be an enemy coming to sneak attack?

The town of Dalupu, which has little strategic value, is only a few kilometers from the county seat, and there is only one platoon of local militia stationed here. These two dozen regiments did not follow the normal military deployment to guard the town, but only guarded the courtyard where they camped, that is, arranged a sentry at the gate of the courtyard where they slept.

Sun Xingguo also looked for them thanks to the head of the militia group Wang who came with the team, it was he who knocked on the door of the mayor's house, and knew from the sleepy-eyed mayor that the soldiers of this platoon lived in the house of a rich man.

This kind of battle did not need Sun Xingguo and his special combat team to intervene at all, and Commander Wang, who wanted to figure out Xiàn, had already led his regiment to capture all those people and brought them to Sun Xingguo one by one in the shape of rice dumplings.

When they received Guo Zhuocheng's telegram, Sun Xingguo and the others were preparing to occupy the next target, the town of Baimangying. This time, however, they encountered some resistance, although they were still defeated militia members in disguise. The head of the Wang regiment was still very hard, but what made Sun Xingguo very helpless was that it was a company-sized militia that was responsible for guarding Baimangying Town, and this militia was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Jianghua County militia, and the command was handed over to Gui-Lin by his superiors.

The most unfortunate thing is that the leader of this vigilante group is not dealing with this Wang regiment leader. The two had conflicts before, and Sun Xingguo had already seen that there were many strangers in the team, and their weapons were obviously not available to the militia.

Although the leader did not guess that Sun Xingguo was a Red Army, they were still on guard and did not allow them to enter the town immediately. Instead, ask your superiors if they agree to come in before deciding.

Sun Xingguo immediately made a decision, ordered a strong attack, and charged while the other party was not ready. When Sun Xingguo's machine guns roared and mortars began to fire, the defenders of that company were immediately defeated, and they turned around and fled, and those militia members who had decided to surrender did not need Sun Xingguo's command. They immediately pursued the town, and in less than twenty minutes they occupied the town, wounding more than 20 defenders and capturing more than 60 defenders, with only a dozen or so regimental men who were quick to react or did not participate in the battle fled. The leader, who was at odds with Commander Wang, had already been hit in the head by a machine-gun bullet in the first round of shooting, and he couldn't die anymore.

However, Sun Xingguo's men and horses also began to suffer casualties. Because Tuan Ding was too active, he charged before Sun Xingguo gave the order to charge, and as a result, one was killed and two wounded by the defenders.

Those regiments were not disappointed, and they felt that their side had achieved a huge result of defeating one company of the other side at such a small price, which was worth bragging about.

It was Sun Xingguo who was depressed, and he felt very embarrassed.

However, instead of criticizing them, he arranged for the deceased to be buried properly, and he took out ten silver dollars and entrusted the deceased's friends to bring the money to his family. In addition, he also comforted the injured and said that they would report their merits. Both they and Captain Wang will be praised and rewarded.

Sun Xingguo was depressed here, but Guo Zhuocheng, who was in Jianghua County, encountered a good thing:

In the morning, when the troops were raiding the property of the county officials, the government, and the gentry and profiteers, they not only found a large amount of food and a large amount of money, but also found a batch of weapons and ammunition from the county government yard that had not had time to be transported to the front line.

This is for those who have just been rescued, except for those who have taken weapons from the militias. The remaining hundreds of unarmed red-officers and soldiers brought the gospel.

When raiding the house, Commander Guo Zhuocheng did not have any psychological burden on the property of government officials and the government itself, and it was completely a large-scale copy. However, Guo Zhuocheng was a little embarrassed to do anything to those wealthy businessmen, feeling that he was really like a bandit leader, so he had to pinch his nose and ask someone on the street about those who usually deducted people's wages, those who had committed bloody crimes and owed blood debts, those who had taken the initiative to fund officers and soldiers to fight the Red Army, and those who sold tobacco and soil or lent usury、......

This was then used as an excuse to confiscate the property of these merchants and wealthy owners. Those who have no bad deeds, Guo Zhuocheng had no choice but to let them go.

After all, Guo Zhuocheng came from the modern era, and he did not exterminate all these rich people, not only prevented some people from shooting those people, but also left some necessities for those people, and even those government officials tried not to shoot them. However, Guo Zhuocheng was not polite to those who were really indignant and whose hands were stained with the blood of the common people, who had killed Red Army officers and soldiers and brutalized Red Army prisoners, and in any case, in order to deter Xiaoxiao and boost morale, he had to shoot these scumbags.

After the collected materials were collected, Guo Zhuocheng had to sigh that the officials and wealthy families in this county were definitely very rich, and they were not at all as poor as he had imagined: a total of 2.1 million silver dollars, 627 gold bars, 3,900 catties of silver ingots, and many other valuable things such as tobacco, cloth, and grain were seized.

Later, Guo Zhuocheng was able to have two gold mines and five silver mines in Jianghua County, although the scale was not large, but some could be smelted every year, most of which were taken away by the Gui army, and a small part were intercepted by the county officials and wealthy households.

Looking at the gold and white eyes, Guo Zhuocheng's eyes lit up: with this real money, he would be able to exchange materials with that time and space in 1991. And he can exchange all this real money for a lot of weapons and equipment. Because the price of those weapons that China has sealed is not high, it is about the same as the price of scrap steel and scrap iron, which was still sealed in the past era of "all people are soldiers", the quantity is huge, and it is simply to occupy space in the arsenal, and it is useless, and the military has long wanted to dispose of them, but no one wants to buy them.

Thinking of this, he looked down at his left palm, and saw the looming plum blossom, but it had not yet turned pale red, and it seemed that he would have to wait a day before he could enter the operation room.

Guo Zhuocheng thought to himself: "What kind of weapons will they put in those warehouses?" Hehe, if we really have enough weapons, can we beat the Central Army all over the ground? ”

After being happy, Guo Shucheng returned to the temporary headquarters in good spirits, and said to Sheng Guozhen, who also hadn't slept all night: "Send a telegram to Bai Chongxi." ”

Waiting for Sheng Guozhen to prepare for the record, Guo Zhuocheng dictated: "......, because the general is unwilling to negotiate with our army, our army has to take Jianghua County without telling it in order to survive. Now our army has jumped out of the encirclement arranged for us by the general before the Gui army encircled, but the relationship between you and us is still there. Guo wanted to continue negotiations with the general to resolve the problem between the Red Army and the Gui Army, but I wonder if the general was interested?

For this negotiation, Guo is willing to give the general two choices, first, continue to refuse to negotiate with our Red Army, the general quickly withdrew his troops in order to keep his family business, and stubbornly defended Gui-Lin, and waited for our army and the Central Army to come one after another, and after our army failed to attack Gui-Lin and left, the general and Li Zongren went to Mr. Jiang to be a public servant together, and lived a leisurely life where they no longer had to worry about heavy military affairs.

For this point, Guo also wants to remind that your army only has less than a day, and you must retreat immediately from the time you receive this telegram, and even so, you must pray that our army will move slowly and hesitate, and do not have the courage to resolutely cut off the road from Gui-Lin to the county seat of Guanyang County, otherwise, the general will be in even greater trouble. Once Guo resolutely ordered the whole army to press, after having eliminated four of the sixteen regiments under the general, Guo might get lucky again and destroy the four regiments under the general.

However, you can rest assured that our Red Army will not attack Gui-Lin to the death, and even if it is captured, it will not stay in Gui-Lin, but will rush to Gui-Zhou, where it will join our main army, and will not let the general entertain us for too long. After all, the host will be very unhappy if the guest has been doing it for a long time.

I have long heard that the general is the current Zhuge of the world, and I should have guessed that the main force of our Red Army will not go to the land of Hunan and Hubei again, and will not jump into the encirclement laid by Mr. Jiang with heavy troops. In addition, if the general does not care that our Red Army passes by Gui-Lin, the general can even be left without moving troops to watch out for me.

The second way is that the general is well aware of the righteousness and is willing to negotiate in the interest of both sides at the invitation of Guo. In this negotiation, Guo demanded very little, only to return the remaining Red officers and soldiers who had been captured, and in addition, the general only needed to pull out a dime and pay me 1.5 million silver dollars, 100 catties of gold, and 1,000 catties of silver. This little money can only allow my nearly 10,000 troops to drink a cup of tea and eat a meal, and presumably the army will not be stingy and refuse. ……”
