Without the air force's cover from time to time, the pressure on the Xingui Army is increasing.Fortunately, every time the air force came over, the Xingui army would get nearly an hour of rest time, so Li Zongren's subordinates did not have to be too tired at last.Facing the constant harassment from planes, Lu Rongting finally found a solution.He ordered the troops to attack day and night, especially at night.Because the aircraft of this era could not fight at night, the cover of night became the natural umbrella of the old Gui army.

Originally, I tried to avoid night battles because I was not good at it, but now I heard that night battles are going to happen. All the soldiers of the old Guangxi army fought bravely because they were afraid of being hit by planes during the day.The field battle caused huge losses to both sides, and Li Zongren's losses were even worse, and he seemed to be unable to persist.

Li Zongren turned around in the headquarters with his hands behind his back. If this continues, Guihai will fall within a few days.At this moment, a person broke into the headquarters.The person who came came hugged Li Zongren tightly in his arms, and shouted: "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for so many years, I miss you so much."

Li Zongren was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw the person clearly. "Zhou Jianping, you are finally here." Li Zongren is one year older than Zhou Jianping, and Li Zongren went to school a year later, so they were classmates in Luda.The two always competed in school, and at the same time admired each other.Although Li Zongren was always suppressed by Zhou Jianping, the two forged a deep friendship during the competition.

Knowing that Zhou Jianping is leading the team this time, Li Zongren was overjoyed. He has stayed in Guigang for so long just to wait for Zhou Jianping's arrival.Although Zhou Jianping arrived several days late, he finally arrived in time.

Li Zongren pulled Zhou Jianping to sit down and said with a smile: "Jianping is here, now it's all right. As long as you are here, I can rest assured."

Chapter 858 Unlucky Battalion Commander

Zhou Jianping was rather ashamed and said: "The mountain road in western Guangdong is difficult. I underestimated the difficulty, otherwise I should have arrived long ago."

"It's not too late now, you've arrived, it seems that Guigang will not be lost." Li Zongren sighed.

Zhou Jianping nodded: "I can guarantee this. This time I brought the main force here. It's getting dark now, so let's wait until tomorrow morning to enter the position."

Li Zongren's face turned red when he heard this, and he said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know, brother, Lu Rongting's troops are now specially looking for an attack at night. If you don't arrive today, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend at night."

"Oh? Old ghost Lu is a bit smart, why did he remember to fight at night?" Zhou Jianping was a little curious.

After Li Zongren talked about Gao Zhihang's air force bombing, Zhou Jianping laughed out loud: "Brother Zong, don't worry, our West Special Army is not afraid of night battles. If he dares to come tonight, we will keep him safe."

"This way I can rest assured." Li Zongren finally smiled.

"Okay, I'll send troops to the camp immediately, and I'll open your eyes tonight. Many of the things we learned in school are outdated, and you need to learn more new tactics," Zhou Jianping said with a smile.

Li Zongren cupped his hands: "I'll just wait and see."

It was completely dark, and Lu Rongting was sitting in the frontline headquarters at this time, looking at the map on the table and smiling.The attack during the day made him keenly feel that the combat effectiveness of the Xingui army was plummeting, and they were about to be unable to hold on.

The vision is not clear at night, which is more conducive to the attacking side. Now that the opponent is at the end of its strength, as long as it makes a final effort, it may cause the entire Xingui army to collapse.At that time, he could lead his troops straight in. When the troops approached the city of Nanning, it was unknown whether the Xingui Army would still have the strength to defend Nanning.

Thinking that he was about to take it back to his lair, Lu Rongting only felt comfortable all over his body, even his pores seemed to be open.At this time, Ma Ji lifted the curtain and walked in. Seeing Lu Rongting sitting there laughing, he immediately asked, "Why is the governor laughing?"

Lu Rongting said: "Li Zongren is about to die, we will soon retake Western Guangdong Province, can I not be happy?"

Ma Ji nodded: "The warlord thought well. During the day, I also felt that the resistance of the rebel army was weakening. After all, they have few veterans. Without us as the main force, it would be difficult for Li Zongren to recruit some new recruits to withstand high-intensity battles. Today The night is covered with dark clouds, and you can’t see your fingers outside. It really is God’s help. As long as we launch a high-intensity attack tonight, the rebels will undoubtedly be defeated."

"That's right, send troops to attack immediately, and you lead the team yourself. We must deal with the opponent tonight. I hope to have breakfast in Guigang City tomorrow morning." Lu Rongting said quite proudly.

Ma Ji nodded: "I'll make arrangements immediately." After speaking, he turned and walked out of the headquarters.

Lu Rongting's eyes flashed brightly, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Li Zongren, Huang Shaohong, Bai Chongxi, you three guys who eat inside and out, I will make you all die."

As Lu Rongting's number one think tank, Ma Ji personally arranged the sequence of tonight's attack.Due to the heavy casualties of various troops in the past few days, the old Guangxi Army has been reorganized. The designation of the Fifth Army has been temporarily cancelled, and the troops have been filled into the First Army, so that the number of this main force has once again increased to 3. people.

Today's night attack on Maji intends to dispatch the entire First Army to directly crush the Xingui Army with its absolute superiority in strength.In this way, Li Zongren had no time to deploy new defenses, and the old Gui army could occupy Guigang City at the speed of cutting butter.

At about eight o'clock, the First Army of the Old Gui Army had completed its front-line deployment. The three infantry regiments of the First Division rushed to the front. They hung their rifles on their backs and slowly crawled towards the position of the New Gui Army.After several days of fighting, the trenches in front of the new Gui army's position have been filled, and the barbed wire fence has long been broken. These old Gui army soldiers were able to easily cross several blockade lines, and they were about to reach the first line of defense of the new Gui army. .

A battalion commander of the old Guangxi army turned his head to see if the people behind him followed.But at night without a trace of moonlight and starlight, it is really difficult to see things clearly.He could only prick up his ears and listen to the voice behind him.Soon there were many whispering sounds, which were the slight sound of khaki military uniforms rubbing against the ground, and it was obvious that the large troops behind had followed.

The battalion commander of the old Gui Army smiled slightly. He reached out and took out the pistol at his waist and held it in his right hand. He stretched out his left hand forward to grab the ground, and continued to move forward in a crawling motion.He knew that he was close to the enemy's line of defense and had to be ready for battle.Just when the battalion commander was tense all over, preparing for the coming hand-to-hand combat, his left hand stretched forward suddenly touched a foreign object.

The foreign object was a thin rope tied to the stake, but the thin rope didn't seem to be tied tightly, so that it fell off under the battalion commander's touch.He didn't hear any sound because the string fell off, and the battalion commander was relieved. He thought his target hadn't been exposed yet.However, when he straightened up and wanted to see what happened, a huge fireball suddenly exploded in front of him, almost blinding his eyes.

The battalion commander of the Jiugui Army touched a thin rope, and there was a violent explosion in an instant. Such a scene seemed a little strange.It's just that the battalion commander couldn't think about the reason anymore, he only felt a sharp pain in his upper body, and then he didn't know anything.

In fact, the thin rope that the battalion commander came across was a tripwire for an anti-infantry broadsword mine. This kind of landmine, which was dubbed by the soldiers of the West Special Army, was placed directly on the front of the battlefield. The cover on the front of it will be blown open, and hundreds of thousands of steel balls will fill the space of tens of meters within [-] degrees at an extremely fast speed, making it difficult for all living things to escape.

Although this time because the officers and soldiers of the old Guangxi army were lying on the ground, the bombing area was relatively small, and more than a dozen people were killed or injured.However, this is not the most serious problem. After the mine exploded, the officers and soldiers of the Xingui Army and the West Army stationed in the line of defense immediately noticed it.

The reason why the West Army is so big is because they secretly planted a lot of landmines before nightfall.It is much easier to stand guard with these mines than to have people stand guard.The old Guangxi army who did not know it was really fooled, and finally the unlucky battalion commander touched the landmine. As a result, not only more than a dozen people were killed or injured, but he also reported the letter by the way.

Hearing the sound of the explosion, the officers and soldiers of the Xite Army and the Xingui Army who were sleeping in their clothes quickly got up.Li Zongren, who stood firm in the forward position, also picked up his pistol, waiting carefully for the attack of the old Gui army.Zhou Jianping patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax, it's not a big deal."

Chapter 859 The Firepower Configuration of the West Special Army

Li Zongren said: "Jianping, don't underestimate the enemy. It's dark and cloudy tonight, and you can't see your fingers. Now it's hard to see the enemy and you can't see clearly, and you can't use your firepower. Who knows where Lu Laogui's army came from."

Zhou Jianping raised his eyebrows: "Can't you see it? It doesn't matter." He turned to the communications soldier and said, "Notify the artillery to start."

The communications soldier nodded and immediately picked up the phone receiver.After receiving Zhou Jianping's order, the Artillery Battalion each selected an [-]mm mortar to quickly reload, and the shells were fired out with a bang.The three artillery battalions fired three special artillery shells. These shells were not aimed at bombarding the enemy. To be precise, these shells could not reach far because the elevation angle was too high.

However, when the three shells entered the high altitude, they made a slight explosion sound almost simultaneously.The explosion did not disintegrate the entire shell, but instead released a parachute from it.Under the obstruction of the parachute, the shell fluttered and fell towards the ground at an extremely slow speed.At the same time, a ball of flame exploded from the bullet's warhead, as bright as the sun in the sky.

It turns out that these shells are the latest night combat weapon of the Army, flares filled with thermite and magnesium powder.These flares are very bright and extremely burn-resistant, and can stay in the air for more than 10 minutes.For night battles, so much time is enough to do many things.

When the three flares exploded one by one in front of the position, the position that was several kilometers long suddenly became like daylight.The officers and soldiers of the old Guangxi army who were lying on the ground were shocked to find that they were already in "broad daylight" when they attacked in the dark.

Before the officers and soldiers of the old Guangxi army could react, the mortars and machine guns of various units of the West Special Army rang out almost simultaneously.The sound of cannons and machine guns was so dense that Lu Rongting was taken aback. He thought Li Zongren had hidden his strength before, and deliberately wanted to bully himself.

But after thinking about it, Lu Rongting denied this idea.Unless he is an idiot, it is absolutely impossible for Li Zongren to hide his strength in this way, regardless of the serious casualties suffered by the officers and soldiers in the past few days.If he was such an idiot, it is estimated that the Xingui army would have been divorced long ago.

It's not that the strength is hidden, it means that a support army has arrived, and it is a reinforcement army that Li Zongren could not control before.On the territory of Western Guangdong Province, the reinforcements that are not under my control, the answer is ready to come out. "West Army." Lu Rongting himself was frightened by this thought. If the army troops of West Army had arrived, it would be declared that his military career could be over.With the strong combat power of the West Special Army, even if Lu Rongting holds the territory in Western Guangdong Province, there is no chance of winning if all the troops are fully staffed.Now that the opponent's army has arrived, he has no chance of winning.

"Retreat, order everyone to retreat." Lu Rongting gave the order in a state of dismay.

"We still have a chance, Overseer." Shen Hongying, who was standing by, said.

"What, there is still a chance?" Lu Rongting looked at him in astonishment.

Shen Hongying said: "Have the Overseer forgotten that we still have a South Route Army? The West Army came from a long way away, and there will not be too many troops. It is estimated that they are all on the frontal battlefield. If we attract them to retreat step by step, these The West Special Army will definitely pursue it. At that time, the South Route Army will break through the rebel defense line and attack Nanning all the way. What's more, these West Special Army are obviously coming from the sea. If we block the coastline of Western Guangdong Province by the way, they will lose Without backup, we may not lose in a war.”

Shen Hongying's analysis made sense, and Lu Rongting nodded again and again: "Yes, as long as we fight well, we may not be unable to win. Just do as you say, even if the West Army comes, they will suffer a lot .Let Zhao Shouhong also see that our Cantonese soldiers are not easy to mess with. Whoever wants to kill us must be prepared to be bitten back."

Ma Ji quickly received Lu Rongting's order to retreat, but after fighting with the West Army, could he retreat if he wanted to?Now that Ma Ji is under tremendous pressure, he knows best in his heart that the people he sent out may not be able to come back.

On the opposite position, Li Zongren also fell into a state of sluggishness.Li Zongren was still puzzled when the West Special Army entered the position at dusk.When he was in the Army University, Li Zongren had practiced in the army, so he naturally knew the equipment of the West Army very well.But seeing the infantry unit of the West Army today, it seems that the original heavy equipment is much less.

The first is the revocation of the firepower squad of each platoon, so that the Type [-] heavy machine gun bid farewell to the troops, and the troops under each platoon became four infantry squads.Grenadiers are only distributed to the infantry as covering firepower, and no longer occupy a special establishment. Therefore, each squad is assigned a [-]-caliber mortar.After the disappearance of the Type [-] heavy machine gun, each infantry squad only had one Type [-] light machine gun as suppressive firepower, which seemed a little weaker.

In Li Zongren's consciousness, losing the fire cover of heavy machine guns seems to be very detrimental to the infantry, even if the artillery platoons of each company are strengthened, and there are two more [-]-caliber mortars.After all, the artillery is a long-range firepower, and it cannot exert its strength in close combat. However, there is obviously a reason why the West Army has changed its organization in such a way to reduce the weight of the infantry.

When the incendiary bullets shot into the sky and the infantry squads of the West Special Army started shooting, Li Zongren finally knew what he had overlooked.A West Special Army soldier next to him raised his rifle and pulled the trigger on the old Guangxi Army soldier in the distance.

The gunshot killed people, and the shooting ability of the soldiers of the West Special Army was the best in the country. This is an undoubted fact, and even Duan Ruiquan had to be convinced.To Li Zongren's surprise, the soldier did not pull the bolt after shooting, but held the rifle flat like that, found the next target and continued shooting.

Under Li Zongren's stunned eyes, the soldier fired ten bullets without stopping, killing eight enemies.At this moment, he withdrew the rifle, pulled out the magazine that Li Zongren hadn't noticed before, and then took out the bullets from the leather case, and pressed them in one by one.

In just a few seconds, the soldier skillfully pressed ten bullets into the magazine.Then he inserted the magazine into the slot of the gun body again, pulled the bolt and started shooting continuously again.Seeing that the rifles in the hands of all the soldiers had such effects, Li Zongren's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he almost closed his eyes.

Zhou Jianping naturally knew why Li Zongren was in a daze, because when he saw this rifle for the first time, he also had the same performance.He patted Li Zongren on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Brother Zong, don't be surprised. These soldiers use the latest [-]-type semi-automatic rifles equipped by the West Army. Now they have just equipped field troops, and even the garrison troops don't have them."
