Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Arrogant Li Guosheng

"To meet the needs of the development of the revolution, the central "government" decided to expand the Ninth Army of Shandong Province into the Ninth Army of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China, and appointed Li Guosheng, the former commander of the Ninth Army, as the commander-in-chief of the army.... Appointed the former Ninth Army Army Chief of Staff Jiang Baili is the Chief of Staff of the Ninth Army Lieutenant General... Li Guanghua, the former deputy commander of the Ninth Army, was appointed as Lieutenant General and Deputy Commander... Other officers at all levels under the Ninth Army were appointed by Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army , and reported to the Ministry of Defense for the record..."

"In addition, in order to ensure the smooth communication between the Ninth Army and the Ministry of National Defense, Lieutenant Colonel Li Mengjie, the deputy director of the Communication Department of the Ministry of National Defense, was appointed as the deputy director of the Communication Department of the Ninth Army... The central "government" Ministry of National Defense Order... The "Chairman" of the "government" of the Central Committee, Chiang Kai-shek..."

After confirming the authenticity of the appointment and removal documents, Li Guosheng directly showed a happy expression on his face.Facing Jiang Baili behind him, he smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, Old Jiang of the Nanjing Central Government, did not disappoint us... In less than a week, he fully fulfilled his promise and handed over the military expansion and appointment and dismissal documents to his subordinates. Send it down... From now on, our Ninth Army will truly become a group army recognized by the state..."

After finishing speaking, he gave a firm order to the confidants behind him: "Brothers, I now order that the Ninth Army will officially start the relevant reorganization starting today. -... All reorganization matters will be handled by the chief of staff. Unified responsibility, I hope everyone can obey the order, otherwise, the military law is engaged in...”[

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

Li Guosheng gave the order and gathered all the officers in the headquarters.Immediately scattered away.However, Li Mengjie, who had been standing in front of Li Guosheng and was ordered to come to the Ninth Army's Communications Department, Li Mengjie, looked at Li Guosheng from the beginning to the end, without even looking at himself.Li Mengjie is very beautiful, and can be called "a flower" of the Ministry of National Defense Communications Secret Service.In my heart, I felt extremely aggrieved as if I had been hit by a huge blow.

However, when I think of the tasks my superiors have given me, I think of my younger brother who is still in the hands of the Nanjing central "government".Li Mengjie had to suppress the grievance in her heart.Standing out because of a lady's military uniform, after the already very straight breasts.He walked directly in front of Li Guosheng, saluted, and reported in his clear and melodious voice.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Li Mengjie, deputy director of the Communication Department of the Ninth Army, came to report, please instruct..."

After his subordinates left, they could finally take a serious look at Li Guosheng, who was in front of Li Mengjie, and had to admit a fact: Li Mengjie in front of him, even in later generations.She is also a rare beauty.As for his sweet wife Lan Ruoxin, she is gentle and elegant.A high-spirited, exuding the vigor and vitality of a soldier all over his body...

Although he knew that the Li Mengjie in front of him must be a special agent sent by Nanjing Lao Jiang to monitor him and even carry out intelligence activities.From the bottom of my heart, I hate this kind of person.However, in the face of beautiful women, he has been living in the army and rarely comes into contact with Li Guosheng, who lives a life of luxury.Still can't help but take a second look.

Of course, after reading it, Li Guosheng quickly showed a calm expression on his face, directly because of the reason that soldiers should have.Facing Li Mengjie, he said without the slightest expression: "Director Li, since the Ministry of National Defense has appointed you as the deputy director of the Communications Department, I have nothing to say. As for your office and residence, I will ask the Communications Department to give you the information as soon as possible. You will definitely not be wronged if you are arranged... Adjutant Liu, immediately arrange two people. Take Director Li to report to the communications department..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

Li Guosheng's performance once again dealt a severe blow to Li Mengjie's self-confidence.In Li Mengjie's eyes, relying on her own charm, coupled with the various things she has learned in special training, not to mention fascinating Li Guosheng, at least she can make the other party look at her more and talk to herself more. A few words to attract the other party's eyeballs and attention.However, I didn't expect that the other party sent me away after only looking at me twice.

Obviously, from the very beginning, Li Guosheng in front of him was full of vigilance towards himself...

.Under such circumstances, can I successfully complete the monitoring task of my superiors and rescue my brother from the secret service....Thinking of the only family member still under the control of the Secret Service, seeing Li Guosheng with an indifferent expression in front of him, and Li Mengjie who was full of doubts about this mission, he felt an urge to cry.

However, years of training and spy career have given her an unchanging expression.Enduring the pain in his heart, he followed the guards and quickly left the headquarters.

The constant change in Li Mengjie's heart, although it didn't show on her face.However, the change in a pair of eyes still did not escape Li Guosheng's sharp eyes.

Seeing the slender figure on the opposite side quickly disappearing at the entrance of the command department, Li Guosheng sighed directly, and said to himself: "Such a beautiful beauty is actually engaged in intelligence work. However, judging by her expression, there should be no other way." However, since she is here, I can't just let her take root in my Ninth Army and become Lao Jiang's eyeliner... Adjutant Liu, order Director Zhang of the Intelligence Department, come to my office immediately, I I have something important to explain..."

Li Mengjie's matter was just an episode in his life for Li Guosheng, who had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands and the military and political power in a province.After giving a few orders to Zhang Tianyu of the intelligence department, the wronged Li Mengjie was directly forgotten by Li Guosheng.Because, at this moment, there are more important things that Li Guosheng needs to do.

After the appointment documents of the Nanjing central "government" successfully reached Li Guosheng's hands, and the news of the establishment of the Ninth Army was communicated to the compatriots across the country through clear-coded telegrams and newspapers and other related means.In less than a day, a telegram was sent out from the Ninth Army Headquarters in Jinan City... .

"All the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army, all the soldiers and civilians of the Shandong Provincial "Government". From now on, we will unconditionally support the decision of the Central "Government" and support the actions of the Central "Government". Attack the local warlord forces in Henan and Hebei provinces, reduce the positive military pressure of the Nanjing central "government", and end the melee in the Central Plains as soon as possible... Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Army. Shandong Provincial "Chairman", Shandong Provincial Security Commander Li Guosheng and the province's military and civilians announced... …”

As soon as the power was turned on, the whole country was in an uproar...For a long time, Li Guosheng has been valued by various local forces because of the aura of "Anti-Japanese Hero".For the first time, because of the powerful strength of a group army with hundreds of thousands of heavy troops, it was valued by all parties.

Of course, attention should be paid attention to. As far as the current situation is concerned, there are real actions.Unsurprisingly, all of them were anti-Chiang troops from Henan and Hebei provinces bordering Shandong province... [

When the telegram came out, tens of thousands of troops, under the orders of Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, and even Han Fuqu, began to assemble towards the border, ready to defend against the Shandong army's attack, and even take the initiative to attack Shandong Province.And at the same time.A steady stream of military intelligence also began to come from all over the place.It was passed to the secret intelligence office of the Ninth Army located in Jinan City.... .

"Director, this is the latest information sent back by intelligence personnel from Henan and Hebei provinces, all of which are related to the mobilization of troops..." The head of the intelligence analysis section of the intelligence department walked quickly to Zhang Tianyu with a stack of telegrams reported.

"The latest military mobilization situation of the anti-Jiang army in the two provinces... This is the information that the commander-in-chief needs most now... Section Chief Wang, you have to remember that any information in this area will be sent directly to me in the future. I want Conduct the screening yourself, and then report to the commander-in-chief..." Director Zhang Tianyu ordered with a serious face.

"Yes, Chief..."

After a quick glance at the information in his hand, Zhang Tianyu didn't bother to take a closer look.Holding the telegram directly, he hurriedly left the intelligence department and walked to the general headquarters of the intelligence department in the bureau, which was separated by a wall...

In Li Guosheng's office, Jiang Baili, the chief of staff who is training the troops.Maybe it was the reason for trotting all the way here, sitting in front of Li Guosheng panting slightly...

Seeing Li Guosheng with an increasingly dignified expression in front of him, Jiang Baili asked in a deep voice, "Commander-in-Chief, what's the matter?"

"Look at these telegrams first. Before we move, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, who are entrenched in the two provinces, can't sit still. Regardless of Han Fuqu's dissuasion, they directly mobilized heavy troops to press on our Shandong province. Don't take my Ninth Army Group seriously..." Li Guosheng handed the information to Jiang Baili angrily... .

"One hundred thousand elites are coming to the border quickly, and they are also in an offensive posture..." Chief of Staff Jiang Baili couldn't help but let out an exclamation.After he was convinced that the information was accurate, Jiang Baili frowned.Facing Li Guosheng, he asked tentatively.

"Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean..."

"The promise given to us by the Nanjing central government has been partially fulfilled. Next, it is time for us to fulfill our promise to the Nanjing central government... At the same time, let Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan know that the prestige of our Ninth Army is absolutely It's not something they can invade.... It's better to call them the current Han Fuqu, the first thought when seeing us is to avoid..." Li Guosheng said his thoughts in a murderous manner.

"Commander-in-Chief, it is necessary to take the initiative to attack these two armies... But, I want to know, what is our ultimate goal for this military operation?" Jiang Baili asked the most critical question directly.

"In terms of territory, Shandong Province and the next Liaodong Peninsula are enough for us. Therefore, I don't have much demand for the territory yet... Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the entire annihilation war Before dispatching troops, you can send a secret message to Han Fuqu saying that our army does not want any territory in the two provinces this time. During our attack, as long as his troops stand still, all the territories captured by our Ninth Army will be lost after the war is over. Give it to him for free..." Li Guosheng affirmed.

He worked hard to send troops, not for territory, and gave away the conquered territory to former enemies for free.The price is only in exchange for the opponent's troops to stay in the process of dispatching troops.... .Chief of Staff Jiang Baili immediately showed a puzzled expression on his face, and asked suspiciously.

"Commander-in-Chief, at the price of not sending troops, we will exchange all the territory we have won...No accident, Han Fuqu, who knows the combat effectiveness of our Ninth Army, will definitely agree to this condition. But, are we too out of luck? The humble officer wants to know, since the dispatch of troops this time is not for the sake of territory, then we have worked so hard to send troops, is it just for training..."

"Training is of course one aspect... However, besides training, I have a more important purpose. As long as this purpose is successfully achieved, to a certain extent, it can definitely solve a problem that our Ninth Army is currently facing. Question..." Li Guosheng nodded noncommittally, and said.

The puzzled expression on Chief of Staff Jiang Baili's face became even stronger.Facing Li Guosheng, he continued to ask: "Commander-in-Chief, what is your question?"

"A large number of soldiers are urgently needed for the expansion of the army... It takes half a year to recruit new recruits from refugees, just for various basic training. If you want to train them into a truly elite team, it is absolutely impossible without one or two years. But , There are a large number of prisoners of war with combat experience on the battlefield. It doesn’t take so long. After a few months of training, they can fully form their combat effectiveness and become an elite team…” Li Guosheng said.

"Think about it... According to intelligence, there are a total of 10 enemy troops entrenched on the border. If we can eat up these 8 troops, it directly means that we can capture [-] to [-] prisoners on the battlefield. There are [-] to [-] veterans with rich combat experience to supplement my Ninth Army, do you think my Ninth Army will still worry about the shortage of qualified soldiers?"

Jiang Baili's face.Immediately, he showed an expression of enlightenment.

Facing Li Guosheng, he said excitedly: "Eat these [-] elites. It not only solves the problem of our army's shortage of soldiers, but also prevents the troops from paying too much in the melee in the Central Plains. More importantly, eat these [-] elites." Wan Dajun, we don't need to go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains to fulfill our promise to the Nanjing Central "Government": by annihilating the enemy's vital forces, we can reduce the frontal military pressure of the Nanjing Central "Government" army..."

Once the combat idea is settled, the next step is the specific method of play... . [

According to the content of the intelligence, Liu Shaoqing, adjutant of the staff.The specific deployment of Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan's troops was quickly marked on the huge combat sand table.In less than 5 minutes, the major local forces, including the military deployment of their own side, were clearly displayed on the mountain plate.

"Feng Yuxiang dispatched 25 troops to gather in Hengshui... Not surprisingly, his attack target was our 27th Division stationed in Dezhou... As for Yan Xishan, all [-] troops were assembled in the Shangqiu area. The target of the operation was not Heze, even if It's Jining. However, no matter which city it is, Zhou Xingguo's [-]th Division will bear the brunt of it..."

"We want to take down the [-] troops. The battle against the two cities of Shangqiu and Hengshui is absolutely necessary... Commander-in-Chief, I don't know which of the two armies you plan to attack first..." Chief of Staff Jiang Baili analyzed.

When it comes to the specific use of troops, Li Guosheng's face suddenly became serious.Facing the map, after 2 minutes of contemplation, he asked rhetorically, "Chief of Staff, what do you think is the combat effectiveness of our Ninth Army compared with the two warlord forces?"

"Only strong but not weak... On the field battlefield, our army can completely fight against three..." Chief of Staff Jiang Baili said confidently.

"Since this is the case, in order to deal with the [-] troops, we will send out twice as many troops according to this ratio, plus a certain number of armored troops, making a total of five main divisions. I don't know if it is enough..." Li Guosheng asked back with a smile .

"Of course it's enough.... Commander-in-Chief, I understand what you mean: you want to go forward together and eat up the [-] troops together, regardless of the order?" Jiang Baili asked back, a worry came to mind again, and he followed him Asked later.

"Commander-in-Chief, of the six main divisions in our hands, five of them will be dispatched at one time... Then, in this melee in the Central Plains, our final combat target is the Liaodong Peninsula... According to intelligence, not only the Liaodong Peninsula is stationed Two divisions, a total of more than 5000 Northeast Army. More importantly, there is an infantry regiment stationed in Dalian Military Port. If you add the Little Devils' naval officers and soldiers, their total strength exceeds [-] people... "

"There are more than 2 Northeast troops and more than 5000 Japanese troops, and they are still defending on the spot. Apart from the five main divisions, do we have other troops to attack these troops and occupy the Liaodong Peninsula?"

A strange smile quickly flashed across Li Guosheng's face.Shaking his head, he said confidently: "Chief of Staff, for the Liaodong Peninsula, reckless fighting is absolutely unworkable... Because, it is not the time for us to turn against the Northeast Army, and we don't need to be strong.... .”

Since Li Guosheng said that there is a way, Jiang Baili, who is full of confidence in Li Guosheng, of course has nothing to say.After a short period of contemplation, he continued to speak: "Commander-in-Chief, since this is the case, you can issue an order... Although the expansion of the troops has already begun, the six main divisions under it have not been dismantled for the time being, and they can enter the battlefield at any time. …”

Li Guosheng nodded, and ordered with a dignified expression: "The 25th Division, the second and third security divisions, and one battalion of the Armored Brigade. I will personally command and attack Feng Yuxiang's troops in the Hengshui area... 27th Division , the First Security Division, one battalion of the Armored Brigade, and you will personally command the chief of staff to attack Yan Xishan's troops in the Shangqiu area... Lao Li stays at the general headquarters and is responsible for the logistics supply of each combat unit... In addition, for the For combat needs and for training, the air force formed two squadrons of fighter jets to accompany the squadrons, mainly responsible for aerial reconnaissance and strategic deterrence..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..." Jiang Baili replied with a bright face.
