Chapter 280: Gui's Actions

Guilin, Guangxi. Lu Rongting hurried here. If he doesn't come, he can't do it! His son poked such a big basket, it would be strange if he could still stay in Guangdong. When Cai Yi's congratulatory telegram was sent to him, he was stunned. Unable to care about the noisy Kuomintang in Guangdong, he simply arranged the military affairs of the Overseer's Mansion and quickly set off north.

He had already seen the detailed information of the battle of Xing'an County, after all, such a big matter had been reprinted in newspapers all over the country, and it was impossible for Lu Yuguang and Lin Junting to hide it. He could understand his son's thoughts at the beginning, after all, it was normal for a young man to go to the battlefield for the first time, and he wanted to test the combat effectiveness of his troops, and he only blamed himself for conniving at the old subordinates to organize this unit for his son. At the same time, Beiyang's performance is too rubbish, and the result is that neither side wants to see the result.

When Lu Rongting arrived, it was already dark, and Lin Junting and Lu Yuguang came to greet him at the same time. Lin Junting has not changed much, after all, he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has never seen anything, but Lu Yuguang's mental state is not very good. This made the anger in Lu Rongting's heart dissipate a lot. At least Lu Yuguang knew that he was in trouble, not a meritorious service.

Lu Rongting didn't care about the fatigue of the journey, and directly summoned Lu Yuguang and Lin Junting to meet to study the current form. At the same time, he also had to find out the situation of the Battle of Hung Yen. Although Lu Yuguang and Lin Junting's telegrams had already explained the story in detail, Lu Rongting still couldn't believe that the 2,000-strong Gui army had defeated the 40,000 Beiyang army. There is not much gap between the weapons and equipment of the two sides, and even the weapons and equipment of Beiyang are better, after all, the rise of the Gui system is very short, and compared with Beiyang, the background cannot be said to be extremely shallow. But it was under this absolute disadvantage that the Gui family won a complete victory, and the Beiyang Army was stunned and beaten out of Guangxi. Embarrassed, he fled back to Hunan. Even Duan Zhigui himself was almost caught by the Gui soldiers. It's simply unthinkable.

"Yumitsu, what the hell is going on? The victory in this battle is also too absurd. Lu Rongting secretly had a headache when he thought of the consequences of this victory. Although he didn't deal with Yuan Shikai, he had to admit that the army in Beiyang was definitely not a straw bag. During the Protectorate War, he once fought side by side with Cai Ye, and after seeing Cai Ye's strong command art, he also saw the strong combat effectiveness of the Beiyang elite. But all this changed because his twenty-two-year-old son went to war. It was as if the elite army of Beiyang had suddenly turned into paper paste and crumbled, and it would shatter when touched. Lu Rongting knew that a large number of outstanding young people had appeared in the world in the past two years, but he was still clear about the combat effectiveness of the Gui army, even if Lu Yuguang's independent regiment was composed of the most elite soldiers of the Gui army, it had not yet reached the level of winning a big victory in the face of twenty times the enemy.

"Father, the child doesn't know the exact situation. When the Beiyang army came to Guangxi, it didn't look like they were here to fight, but more like they were here to travel. The tens of thousands of Beiyang troops sent up to 3,000 troops a day to carry out semi-tentative attacks. Uncle Lin judged what conspiracy the enemy might contain. So, always be on your guard. But this went on for seven or eight days. Beiyang only fights once a day, and the battle lasts no more than half an hour. Even the Beiyang soldiers who later participated in the war fired their empty guns into the sky. The battlefield has become child's play. Faced with this strange thing, his son discussed with Uncle Lin whether he should send troops to test the details of Beiyang. So on the second day of the battle, the boy sent his independent regiment. The independent regiment performed very well, and after making contact with the attacking regiment of Beiyang, in less than five minutes, the troops of Beiyang were routed. Then the independent regiment followed the enemy's rout into the big camp in Beiyang. Uncle Lin was worried that the independent regiment would fail, so he sent two regiments of elite troops to meet us. It's just that I didn't expect that in the face of the attack of 2,000 people, the Beiyang military camp was actually encamped. The Beiyang army collapsed without a fight, and fled directly from Guangxi under the pursuit of the independent regiment. In this way, we have a complete barracks and countless weapons and ammunition, and its military supplies are even more innumerable. Lu Yuguang said depressedly. is still depressed to win such a big victory, and Lu Yuguang is also the first one.

Originally, the performance of the independent regiment was quite satisfactory to him, but Beiyang's performance was too fucked. The army of 40,000 collapsed before it could go head-to-head. It doesn't matter if they collapsed, they were chased out of Guangxi by their own 2,000 soldiers of the Independent Regiment. When this situation occurred at that time, Young Marshal Lu was quite excited, otherwise the independent regiment would not have chased it frantically. It was only when he was cleaning up the battlefield that Lu Yuguang came to his senses, and it seemed that he had caused a big disaster at a low level. The next day, the Battle of Xing'an made Lu Shaoshuai famous all over the world. If this battle is based on real skills, Lu Yuguang will definitely be very happy to take over this honor, after all, the reputation of Northeast Feng Shaoshuai, who is even younger than him, is not comparable to him. Being able to shorten the gap with Feng Yong is also what Lu Yuguang is willing to see.

But this inexplicable victory and honor made Lu Yuguang a little overwhelmed, and his victory did not bring benefits, but brought trouble, making Lu Yuguang even more depressed. You must know that when he came to Guangxi, his son Lu Rongting told him that he was asked to come to the front line to assist Lin Junting in commanding the battle. The main purpose is to let him feel the atmosphere of the battlefield and sharpen his abilities. But he, who was supposed to be a supporting role, became the protagonist by mistake, and also achieved a victory that others could not imagine. This made him extremely depressed.

Lu Rongting looked at Lin Junting, who looked indifferent. Lin Junting nodded, signaling that what the young marshal said was true.

"What a fucking fuck! How did Duan Zhigui generalize the soldiers, and he would bomb the camp when 2,000 people attacked, what a waste commander! Lu Rongting scolded in an atmosphere.

Lu Yuguang deeply agrees.

"Father, what should we do? Will Beiyang give up? Lu Yuguang said with some concern. You must know that the original strategy formulated by Lu Rongting was to swallow the whole of Guangxi and then prevent the Beiyang Army from moving south. The main purpose is to stop and not to stumble. But the current situation is completely different, and the son's unexpected counterattack actually defeated Beiyang. For a time, domestic newspapers questioned the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army, especially the newspapers related to the Kuomintang, which reported this matter one after another, and for a time Lu Yuguang, the young marshal of the Gui department, suddenly became a new generation of young people who could compare their potential with Feng Yong and Cai Yi's strength. The Chinese double heroes have also become the Chinese three heroes. This kind of propaganda is simply a slap in the face of Beiyang**. Beiyang's strength is definitely not weak, and it will definitely not give up in the face of this kind of propaganda. In this way, the purpose of the Kuomintang is worth playing.

"Of course, we won't give up. I just got the news that there are already voices within Beiyang that they want to deal with us, but I don't know if this is the meaning of Chief Duan or the meaning of the entire Beiyang. Lu Rongting said depressedly. Of course, he understood the meaning of the Kuomintang's actions, and he did not want his Gui family to completely break with Beiyang, and then have to rely on their Kuomintang. How can this little bit of thinking be able to hide from Lu Rongting, who is like an old fox. But knowing that the Gui family is indeed not suitable for turning the other cheek with the Kuomintang. After all, the Kuomintang's righteous name is still very effective. If the Beiyang army is really shocked, one more strength will have one more chance of winning. Although the Kuomintang is also a hidden danger to him, he does not need to worry too much at this stage, after all, the Whampoa Military Academy, on which the Kuomintang has high hopes, has not yet been completed, and even if he helps him build it, they will not have qualified officers to enter the army in less than a year. With the so-called 3,000 party army of the Kuomintang now, it was just a joke before the tens of thousands of Gui troops.

"Father, I suggest that we unite with Southwest Cai, only when the two of us join forces can we ensure the safety of our Gui family!" Lu Yuguang said suddenly.

Lu Yuguang raised his head suddenly, shook his head and said: "Now that the two armies in the southwest have entered, it is difficult to protect themselves, and they will drag us into the abyss!" ”

"Father, I think that in the Southwest War, the New Army has a great chance of victory. Not to mention the strength of General Cai Yi, but to say that the new army has an advantage in terms of time, place, and people. The only thing to worry about is that the southwest is financially weak. As long as we support the southwest and balance the prices in the southwest, General Cai Ye will definitely be able to survive, and when the time comes, with such a big force as the southwest in front of us, our Gui army will be safe. Lu Yuguang said confidently. It seems that this kind of thing has been thought about for a long time.

"Dashuai, I think the idea of the young marshal has a certain feasibility. Although I don't know what is wrong with Beiyang, but from the perspective of the Beiyang army we are facing, Beiyang has begun to decay both in terms of the system and other aspects. Even if such a force can win for a while, it will not be able to stabilize for a long time. Dashuai, don't forget that there is a cannibal tiger behind Beiyang. Lin Junting said.

"Northeast! Feng Yong! Lu Rongting muttered quietly. If Lu Rongting was disdainful when he first knew that the Northeast was in the hands of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy child, then now he was deeply shocked. Under the leadership of Feng Yong, the Northeast not only did not make mistakes, but became stronger and stronger. Even the entrenched Beiyang is already feeling the pressure. The compromise of the Xinjiang Tibet Supervisor a few days ago proved that Beiyang was no longer able to suppress the Northeast.

"Father, the son is willing to go to the southwest to meet General Cai Ye on behalf of his father!" Lu Yuguang said.

"What?" Lu Rongting said in surprise.

"Young marshal, the southwest is in a state of war, and General Cai Ye must be on the front line, it's too dangerous for you to go." Lin Junting dissuaded.

Lu Yuguang shook his head firmly, looking at his father Lu Rongting.

"Yumitsu, how sure are you that the southwest will win?"
