Age of Rebirth

Chapter 360: Chief Yan Treats Guests

Today, the meeting is still held, but the content of the meeting is all about how to attack the Shaanxi-Gansu base areas and the Red Army of the Communist Party of China, and how to deploy troops.

On the wall was a huge military map of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region. From time to time, senior generals walked over to explain how to deploy troops and explain their plans. Tang Qiuli watched this scene with great interest.

It turns out that history is not all true. The military conferences held in Taiwan are full of military democracy. Everyone can speak freely, express their opinions, come up with combat plans, and evaluate other people's plans. It's a bit like for today's bidding.

And Generalissimo Jiang just listened intently and did not express any opinions. These senior generals of the Communist Party of China who dared to come up with their own plans are all veterans with military talents, not all of them are idiots in the legend, it is strange Yes, against the Red Army of the Communist Party of China, they were repeatedly defeated. What is the reason for this?Tang Qiuli couldn't figure it out either, probably Chairman Jiang was also thinking about it. [

On the issue of encircling and suppressing the CCP's Red Army, Tang Qiuli was Xu Shu who entered the Cao camp without saying a word. Anyway, everyone did not count on him. Last night, he was still worried about Chairman Jiang and asked him about the strategy for fighting the Red Army.

That would make it very difficult for him. If he really followed the encirclement and suppression plan he made, the CCP Red Army would only end in annihilation. I know the characteristics and combat methods of the CCP Red Army too well. Every step of the plan is aimed at them. weakness,

If you make an encirclement and suppression plan that does not conform to reality, then you have to arrange Mao Zedong to deliberately walk into the trap of the CCP Red Army. Dilemma.

How embarrassing is it to let Tang Qiu leave love, how can he bear it if he has his heart?Both sides of the fight are China's national defense forces, and the cheap ones are only the Japanese. Fortunately, Generalissimo Jiang didn't say a word, and Tang Qiuli was also greatly relieved. He only hoped that this battle would not be fought.

The military meeting was held for another whole day, allowing Tang Qiuli to have a fairly thorough understanding of that era, Mao Zedong's combat style and inherent thinking. After heated debates, General Wei Lihuang's combat plan was approved. Everyone, especially Chairman Jiang's affirmation.

Wei Lihuang's combat plan has absorbed the experience of previous failures in suppressing the Communist Party. It can be summed up as follows. Three attacking corps were formed. Liulin crossed the Yellow River to the west and oppressed the CCP Red Army from the northeast.

Along the way, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army and Yang Hucheng's Seventeenth Route Army were the main force, with eight divisions of the Central Army, marching northward from Xi'an, approaching the area around Yan'an, where the CCP is located.

Along the way, the Central Army of the remaining [-] divisions was used as the main attacking corps, marching northward from Baoji, with the main purpose of capturing Yan'an, the home of the Communist Party.

The three-way invasion and suppression corps, mainly the Central Army's assault corps, launched the attack first, and the other two offensive corps followed up. After the Central Army's offensive corps launched an attack, they went into battle.

The three-way army is attacking in a fan shape, and the ministries must not disperse their forces, and use pressing and oppression as the main combat method, so as not to be caught by the red army like the previous encirclement and suppression, and they will be defeated one by one.

Wei Lihuang especially emphasized that the main purpose of this raid to suppress the bandit army is to destroy its foothold in northern Shaanxi, with the elimination of its vital force as the secondary combat objective. In a word, it is to drive the bandit army to the depths of the Northwest The desert, the Gobi wild land.

Let the troops of the Northwest Five Horsemen and the harsh natural environment destroy them. At the beginning of last year, the troops of the Northwest Five Horsemen wiped out the sweetness of the Communist Party's Western Expeditionary Forces, which is still fresh in the memory of these senior officers of the central system.

This is the modern version of the encirclement, three lacks and one. I am not in a hurry to fight you, but to squeeze you out of the ground, and it is an iron barrel-like formation, allowing the Red Army to drill through gaps, and let the Northwest Five Horse Hui Hui Army fight you desperately .

The five horses in the Northwest are all wolves who are extremely protective of food. The Red Army ran to their door, and they still didn't risk their lives to fight the Red Army?When they were almost done fighting, the three-way army then wiped out the remnants of Mao Zedong's troops, and the world would be decided in one battle.

Wei Lihuang's battle plan is not inconsequential, and it is extremely vicious. If you are not in a hurry to fight, you will use the superior force to press you to a dead end step by step. The tens of thousands of troops can only retreat gradually. In the end, they have to fight to the death with the local troops of Wuma in the Northwest.

Fortunately, Tang Qiuli knew the history. Such a thing would never have happened. Otherwise, he would have died of anxiety. No matter how good his equipment was to aid the Red Army, it would not be able to support the difference in strength by dozens of times. There were too many ants to kill the elephant. The 30 central army is not a small ant.

After the meeting, it was getting late. Tang Qiuli decided to leave Luoyang and return to Peiping tomorrow. Before the meeting ended, Generalissimo Jiang asked him to accompany him to Xi'an. Taking office was delayed for reasons, and Chairman Jiang also knew that the big mess in Pingjin, especially involving the Japanese, would be extremely prone to chaos if not arranged properly. Tang Qiuli's request was also reasonable.

How did he know Tang Qiuli's thoughts, Xi'an has almost become a powder keg, and he didn't want to be Zhang Yang's prisoner. In ten days or so, an earth-shattering event will happen in Xi'an.

In the evening, Yan Xishan, who was always low-key and cunning, suddenly sent his trusted adjutant to send two invitations, inviting him and Mei Ting to attend a small private banquet. [

Tang Qiuli didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd by this Chief Yan, who was known for his good calculations?However, all the invitations were delivered to him, if he didn't go, he would be rude and offend him, so he and Mei Ting pretended to be simple and got in the car that came to pick them up.

When they arrived at the place, they entered the room and saw that it was indeed the small private banquet that Yan Xishan had mentioned, plus him and Mei Ting, but there were only five people.

Yan Xishan, the host, and two others he is very familiar with, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, saw him and Mei Ting arriving, and the three of them got up quickly, insisting that Tang Qiuli sit at the top. Today's Tang Qiuli, whose identity is But unusually, the position and status are higher than the three of them.

Tang Qiuli is willing to agree to it, he will not do such stupid things that hurt others and benefit himself, what is the use of such a false name?I will suffer at the cost of saving face.

After making some excuses, Tang Qiuli insisted on sitting at the bottom, and asked his host, Chief Yan, to sit at the top. He noticed that Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang had nothing to do, but Chief Yan showed a look of relief on his face , although fleeting, was captured by him keenly.

Letting him sit at the top is just a polite way of saying, if Tang Qiuli considers himself a status and doesn't know how to be modest, and Zhang Yang is nothing, Yan Xishan must be the boss in his heart. On the head, I was not very convinced in my heart, but I saw Tang Qiuli was so arrogant.

Probably, he had already started thinking about how to play tricks and stumbling blocks for this ignorant boy, so that Tang Qiuli would not ask for trouble.

There is a kind of people who try not to offend if they can, otherwise, they will be troublesome and give you headaches. He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs, is one, Dai Li, Director of the Military Control Bureau is one, and there is this man in front of him who looks like a human animal, with a silly smile on his face , Yan Xishan Yan Chief Yan, who is generally a rich man in the countryside of Shanxi.

Yan Xishan raised his glass first, pointing out the purpose of this private gathering, nothing else, everyone is living in North China, Pingjin is separated from the Taihang Mountains, and Shaanxi is separated from Shaanxi by the Yellow River. They are all close neighbors, and they cannot be separated from the north and south of the Yellow River, and the east and west of the Taihang Mountains.

Today, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang Gao Sheng, Yan Xishan and I have to be the host anyway, let's celebrate, there are no outsiders today, just our old neighbors, we can talk freely.

Tang Qiuli understood that Yan Xishan was trying to get a handle on himself and Zhang Yang. After all, everyone was a participant in the military operation in a few days. , it's all here.

Everyone started talking about anecdotes, romance and other topics, and they didn't hide Mei Ting's back. The three of them, who were sophisticated in the world, could tell that this beautiful colonel was definitely Tang Qiuli's favorite, and the relationship between the two Feeling very good.

When the wine was in full swing, Zhang Xueliang first became emotional. Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood recently, everything was not going well, and he was too depressed. At the time when Tang Qiuli, Yan Xishan, and Yang Hucheng were still sober, Zhang Xueliang already had sex If you are very drunk, the so-called "drinking wine makes you worry more."

He was full of contempt and hatred for Wei Lihuang's battle plan, and he said bluntly: "This is not what Chairman Jiang meant, forcing the Northeast Army and Brother Hucheng's Shaanxi Army to take the lead. The Central Army of their eight divisions Supervise the battle from behind."

"To tell you the truth, Brother Hucheng and I have been fighting against Mao Zedong and Zhu Mao's Red Army for more than a year. From victories to casualties, the central government not only did not supplement it, but canceled the designation. This is clearly Chairman Jiang's eradication of dissidents. It is a means to take the opportunity to eliminate the motley army.”

"Hucheng and I thought over and over again. In order to avoid the fate of being wiped out, we also didn't want to fight another civil war, so we signed an armistice agreement with the Red Army. Our enemy is the Japanese who is full of ambitions to destroy China, or what the **** said Yes, the guns should be unanimous, "

"To this day, I, Brother Zhang Hanqing and Brother Hucheng, are determined not to fight the Red Army. I have also approached the chairman many times to persuade him not to fight the Red Army again. It is the mission of us soldiers to deal with the Japanese together. .”

"However, Generalissimo Jiang not only refused to listen to my advice, but also accused me of being bewitched by the Communist Party to help the bandits. No way, if you shoot at the Red Army again, even if you shoot me, that’s the same thing, at worst, go to the Red Army.”

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put the glass heavily on the table, sighed and shook his head again and again, with a sad and helpless expression.

Maybe it was infected by Zhang Xueliang's emotions, coupled with the fact that the two of them shared the same illness and suffered from each other, Yang Hucheng also drank the wine in one gulp.

The atmosphere in the room became tense.
