Chapter 527: The Decisive Battle of the Two Cantons

The second one is sent, the state is not bad, the third one is definitely no problem, and the fourth is more promising. Qi no pop-up window qi for support!!

…………………………………………………………………… Guilin, Guangxi. The current base camp of the Katsura department.

Li Zongren's offensive was too fierce, and it swept through most of Guangxi in more than half a month. At the suggestion of Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren staged a long-distance attack again, and his troops approached Nanning before the Gui Department could react. In the end, the Gui family was forced to abandon Nanning. Moved the nest back to Guilin, an important town in northern Guangxi.

Now Lu Rongting has summoned all the troops on the Hunan border back, ready to defend the last territory to the death.

After several months of entanglement, the strength of the Gui system was less than 30,000 troops, and although it was known as jīng sharp, its morale plummeted due to the continuous routs. On the contrary, Li Zongren marched all the way, recruited a lot of new soldiers, expanded his strength from 20,000 to more than 50,000, and many outstanding talents emerged under his command. Li Zongren's classmates Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong were also reused and began to show their prestige. Huang Shaohong served as Li Zongren's deputy, and Bai Chongxi became Li Zongren's chief of staff, as in the original history. In this way, the three giants of the Gui family, which were originally famous in history, gathered again.

Defeated all the way, fleeing from Guangzhou to Wuzhou, from Wuzhou to Yulin, and finally to Nanning. Lu Rongting fought all the way and lost all the way. He squandered tens of thousands of troops under his command. Now he has fled from the southwest of Guangxi to the north. The end was extremely miserable. Although Lu Rongting was not injured during this period, his son Lu Yuguang was injured several times. I'm still recuperating. All of this made Lu Rongting feel heavy pressure.

Originally, he wanted to use the thoughts of all the forces in the southwest of the Longyun Alliance to make Li Zongren stop marching into the army, but Li Zongren didn't accept this at all. Instead, taking advantage of the laxity of the Gui system, he swallowed his two brigades in a row. All these show Li Zongren's determination to never die.

"Damn Li Zongren, why do you have to kill them all!" Lu Rongting regretted it now, not because of Li Zongren, but because he politely sent the envoy sent by Běi Jīngzhèng Fǔ away. At that time, the Gui family still occupied the land of the two provinces, although Li Zongren fled from the Yulin area to Guangdong, but he only had a few thousand soldiers under his command, and Lu Rongting did not take him as a little pawn too much in his eyes, who knew that in just a few months, the little pawn salted fish turned into a big crocodile. Even the life of Lu Rongting, the king of Nanyao, was in his hands. Now the Gui family is at the end of the road, even if they want to find the power to surrender, they have no capital to surrender.

"Maybe I'm really old!" Lu Rongting sighed. The continuous losses during this period of time hit him hard, and coupled with the serious injury of his son, his mood became more and more irritable.

"Report to the Overseers, report from the front. Li Zongren's army was less than thirty miles away from Guilin. Our troops are holding back, but ......," said the herald in a trembling voice.

"But what?" Lu Rongting stood up abruptly and asked loudly.

"But the enemy's attack is too fierce for us to resist!" The herald said weakly.

"Damn it!" Lu Rongting scolded, not knowing whether it was the herald or Li Zongren who was scolding.

"Let Captain Lin come to see me!" Lu Rongting said in a deep voice.

"Commander Lin went to the front. An army is being organized against Li Zongren. The herald said.

Lu Rongting nodded. I felt a little comforted.

"Report to the Overseers, this letter from the front horses." The herald sent a letter.

"Who wrote it?" Lu Rongting asked in surprise.

"Yes...... It's Li Zongren! The herald said.

"What? Damn it! Lu Rongting was furious. I want to tear this letter up immediately.

It took a long time for Lu Rongting to regain his composure. But the god was still a little hideous and said, "Give it to me!" ”

The heralds did not dare to slack off, for fear of angering the Overseers and punishing themselves.

Lu Rongting took a deep breath and opened the letter, his face first showed an unexpected expression, and then it became extremely jīng color like a Sichuan opera changing face. In his mind, Li Zongren's letter should be a mockery of the victor to the loser. That's why he started to get so angry. But in fact, the content of this letter is not a mockery, but on the contrary, it is very respectful. In the letter, Li Zongren analyzed the comparison of the strength of the two sides, and pointed out that the Gui family no longer had much strength to resist, so Xi Lu Rongting was able to electrify the field and save the face of the Gui family, and he Li Zongren guaranteed the safety of the Lu family. In the end, Li Zongren also revealed a secret that shocked Lu Rongting, that is, Li Zongren had already joined the Wehrmacht, and now his official identity is the commander of the Wehrmacht Dú Lì Division, and after he completely annexes Guangxi, he can publicly announce his identity and serve as the commander of the Wehrmacht's Dú Lì Army, commanding the forces of the two provinces to send troops to Beiyang.

Seeing this, Lu Rongting completely understood why Li Zongren's troops were developing so fast. You must know that now Li Zongren is under the command of 50,000 troops, and there are still 20,000 troops stationed in Guangdong, which is more than the Gui line at the peak of Lu Rongting. Guangdong, as the earliest treaty port in China, has many imports, and Guangxi also has many imports. For the forces occupying the two provinces, the number of soldiers is not a problem, but the difficulty is the weaponry. When Lu Rongting controlled Liangguang, the reason why the expansion of troops was not fast was that he was restricted by weapons and equipment. But Li Zongren doesn't seem to have this problem at all. The expansion of the number of soldiers included weapons, and outsiders believed that these weapons were seized from Lu Rongting, the wronged leader. However, only Lu Rongting knew that although some of the weapons of Li Zongren's troops were from Lu Rongting's Gui lineage, this was only a part, and it was far from reaching the point of arming seventy or eighty thousand. Bi Jing now has 30,000 troops in the hands of the Gui family, which is weaponry, accounting for about half of all the weapons of the Gui family.

Now all the confusion has been solved. With the National Defense Force behind him, it is no wonder that Li Zongren has expanded his army so unscrupulously. For the enlarged and large Defence Force, the provision of tens of thousands of light weapons is not a major problem at all.

Now that Li Zongren told him these things so generously, Lu Rongting was under tremendous pressure. Li Zongren's army of 50,000 is terrifying, but his background is even more fearful. There is a běi jīngzhèng fǔ in the back. Li Zongren has long been invincible.

"Father, what's wrong?" Lu Yuguang, who was wrapped in bandages and walked a little staggeringly, walked in, looked at Lu Rongting's unhappy face and asked.

"Yuguang, your injury is just a little bit sè, you need to rest more and don't move around." Lu Rongting asked with concern.

"Father, the child is young, these injuries are nothing." Lu Yuguang didn't care about his injuries at all.

"In that case, it's better for you to come and counsel." Lu Rongting handed him Li Zongren's letter.

Lu Yuguang took the letter, and when he looked at the payment on it, he was indeed stunned for a moment.

"Father, this is Li Zongren's letter. What a good means! Lu Yuguang said solemnly.

"It's o, occupying the absolute upper hand is still not arrogant or impatient, and pressing in with momentum. Li Zongren is very in! Lu Rongting sighed and said.

"Father, are we still sure of victory?" Lu Yuguang asked.

"Your Uncle Lin has already gone to the front line, although we are still 30,000 troops, and our weapons are complete, but our combat effectiveness is really limited, how can we be the opponent of a tiger general like Li Zongren. Even if you, Uncle Lin, personally commanded it, the chances of victory are not very high. Lu Rongting sighed. Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaohong, these are all into the Jie, and what makes him even more depressed is that these are all in his Gui department. But Li Zongren, who holds the highest position, is only a small battalion commander. After entering the talent like this but becoming an enemy, Lu Rongting felt extremely depressed every time he thought about it. If he can discern Ying, then I am afraid that the Gui system has developed to another level now.

"In this case, it's better to be a single, it's better than being defeated by Li Zongren in Guilin, and you and my father and son are shaking like lost dogs." Lu Yuguang said.

"This ......" Lu Rongting hesitated. He really couldn't let go of the power in his hands. Thinking about it, it is understandable that a person who has been controlling the life and death of another person for half his life, and now he has lost the power in his hands all of a sudden, and his heart is naturally unbearable.

"Father, when the interruption continues, it will be disturbed. Now that the situation in the country has become such that the unification of the Defence Forces is a foregone conclusion. Our father and son have lost the opportunity to join the Wehrmacht, and the only thing we can do now is to jump out of this whirlpool. And with the wealth accumulated by our Lu family, we can still live a rich life without Liangguang. Lu Yuguang said in a deep voice.

Lu Rongting looked at Lu Yuguang, who was full of determination. I thought in my heart, although my son's ability to lead troops is not very good, he is very good in vision and decisiveness. If I didn't always let him train as a military commander, but let him handle government affairs, I'm afraid he would do better!

"Father!" Seeing that Lu Rongting was still hesitating, Lu Yuguang spoke again.

"Alright. I already know. I just had some nostalgia, Bi Jing has been in Liangguang for so many years, and now he suddenly leaves, and he is really reluctant. "Lu Rongting Bi Jing has suppressed Nan Ban for many years, and the childlike state in his heart is only for a moment, since he has made a decision, he will naturally do things in a hurry.

Lu Rongting sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing that he would resign from the post of the Liangguang Supervisor and give up the Gui troops in his hands. From now on, he will not meddle in the affairs of the two countries.

Lu Rongting was electrified to go to the wilderness, which did not cause much fluctuation in the country, China is too lively this month, although Lu Rongting is a big introducer, but compared with Běi Jīng, Beiyang, and Southwest, it is still several levels worse, plus he was beaten by Li Zongren like a lost dog, which made the outside world evaluate him a lot worse.

After receiving Lu Rongting's telegram to the wilderness, Li Zongren sent a telegram to support on the one hand, and urged the army on the other hand to accept the surrender of the Gui family. The two sides fought more than 100 battles, and Li Zongren's ability was also recognized by the Gui army, and now Lu Rongting announced that he would go to the field, although the soldiers were related, but they could generally accept the fate of surrender.

With the Lu father and son leaving Guilin. Li Zongren's troops marched to Quanzhou County, north of Guilin. At this point, except for a small area in northern Guangdong, which was entrenched by the Kuomintang party army, all other places in Guangxi fell into the hands of Li Zongren. For a time, Li Zongren's voice was shocked, and the outside world faintly called him the new King of Nanyao.
