The Gui army was recognized as a strong army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the Japanese army called it "the only army with a samurai spirit in China", and Liu Bocheng vividly compared the Gui army with other Chiang Kai-shek troops, believing that the order of our army's war should be "to fight the weak security forces first, the weaker miscellaneous troops second, then the stronger central army, and finally the strongest Gui troops." To a certain extent, the enemy's evaluation is relatively fair, which also reflects the combat effectiveness level of the Gui army from one side.
The Ming Dynasty Wolf Soldiers were one of the fiercest troops of the time, and they still maintained the bravery and vigor of the primitive tribal soldiers
Under the more unique governance of the Gui warlords in modern times, even if it is not equipped, its comprehensive combat effectiveness is significantly higher than that of other units
The reason why the Gui army is good at war is largely related to the folk customs in Guangxi. In ancient times, Guangxi was regarded as a "barbaric land", many ethnic minorities folk customs are rough and simple, coupled with the production and life to retain the original way of fishing and hunting, so the people in these areas dare to fight and fight, until modern times still do so.
Another important factor in the strong combat effectiveness of the Gui army is the unique governance method of the Gui warlords. The Gui warlords' long-term adoption of "autonomy" over Guangxi has won the hearts of the people, and the Nanjing side has not been able to intervene. The Gui warlords have invested a lot in the army, from the early years of the Republic of China to the past, and have not experienced endless chaos like other regions, even if there is a war, it is often the Gui army that goes out to fight in the province, and the construction of the Gui army itself is obviously superior to the warlord troops in other regions. Today, through a small matter, to understand the Gui Army.
The Gui Army implements a compulsory military system and is well-trained, and soldiers must practice guerrilla warfare, squad and platoon company-level tactical exercises, combat, air defense, and anti-poison
The 19th Division of the 46th Army of the 16th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army was an ace unit of Bai Chongxi of the Gui clan. Wang Yufu was a company commander in the department and was a fierce and violent man. Although he did not hold a large official position, he loved to fight and hug, and even dared to fight the gendarmerie sent by Feng.
Once, Chongqing sent a gendarmerie led by Shi Jingting to the garrison of the ministry, called "Wind Discipline Supervision", which was actually to supervise the suppression of the Gui Army, hoping to make them bow down and obey the orders of the Chongqing authorities. Since the gendarmerie is the "constitution of a hundred soldiers," it should have set an example for all soldiers in order to serve the people. However, Shi Jingting led his subordinates to first corrupt military discipline, eat, drink, gamble, extort and extort, and do all kinds of evil, causing dissatisfaction among the officers and men of the Gui Army.
One day, Wang Yufu clashed with the gendarmerie on the street, and the two sides fought fiercely. Wang Yufu, who was a martial artist and had a fiery personality, single-handedly knocked down several gendarmes and injured Shi Jingting, the captain of the gendarmerie team. This caused a catastrophe, and the Chongqing side wanted to sentence Wang Yufu to death.
Bai Chongxi was in a high position, but he was very familiar with his subordinates, and he was also quite appreciative of Wang Yufu and intended to reuse them. Now that he was in trouble, Bai Chongxi tried every means to save him, and finally when he was about to be shot on the execution ground, he was rescued by a "knife to leave someone behind". Bai Chongxi vouched to Chongqing that he would make meritorious deeds, and Chongqing finally gave him a face.

When the 19th Division was ordered to attack the Yumu Mountain in Hengyang, which was held by the Japanese army, Wang Yufu led his troops to take charge of the main attack. Wang Yufu was not afraid of death in battle, but he was also unwilling to die unjustly at the hands of the gendarmes. Now let him fight the devil, even if he is on a mission that may kill him at any time, he can't ask for it. He immediately selected more than 100 elite warriors, took enough weapons and ammunition and set off.
Wang Yufu is a good bomb thrower and is known as a "live steel cannon". He specially arranged 4 strong boys to raise grenades for himself. After the battle began, Wang Yufu took the lead and commanded everyone to charge while constantly throwing grenades at the enemy. The warriors were infected by Wang Yufu's heroic spirit and bravely competed for the lead.
The Nationalist army had American aircraft to help the battle, and they took the main peak of Yumu Mountain with a single blow. However, after taking the main peak, the reinforcements were delayed, and the Japanese army began to counterattack, and heavy artillery continued to bombard. Wang Yufu and the fighters held out for a day and a night, and finally had to evacuate, leaving only 20 of the more than 100 people, all of whom were wounded.
In this battle, they killed more than 100 Japanese troops and made great achievements. Bai Chongxi rewarded Wang Yufu heavily and appointed him as the commander of the second battalion, but Wang Yufu refused. Wang Yufu said: "I am a person who committed a capital crime, and now that I survive, I will be satisfied without having to shoot me again, so what reward do I want?" ”
