Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

Because of Yang Wei's Jedi counterattack, the Northern Expeditionary Army even retreated from Nanjing, which caused a sensation throughout the country. This behavior that affected the unity of the motherland made Yang Wei the target of verbal criticism. w w. v m)

At this moment, the headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army in Guangzhou was not peaceful. In the conference hall, Chiang Kai-shek was sitting upright with a complicated expression, and a newspaper was placed in front of him.

Chiang Kai-shek frowned, the entire meeting room was silent, the air seemed to have frozen, and all he could hear was silence. After such an awkward atmosphere lasted for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly laughed.

Although the laughter broke the silence, it made everyone more nervous. They peeked at Chiang Kai-shek and saw a strange expression on his face. It didn't seem to be anger, but they couldn't tell what it was, happy?Of course not.

"This newspaper," Chiang Kai-shek pushed forward the newspaper in his hand, looked at the crowd and said, "I think you have all read it?"

In fact, you don't need to look carefully, everyone knows what Chiang Kai-shek's newspaper contains. The news of Yang Wei's extermination of 20 Northern Expeditionary Army has spread like wildfire in the Guangzhou Nationalist Government, causing quite a commotion.

Chiang Kai-shek sneered and said, "Annihilate 20 troops? Ha, is there that much total number of Northern Expeditionary troops?"

As soon as the words fell, Tan Yankai, the commander of the second army, said angrily: "It's shameful for such "rebellious" ministers and traitors to be so arrogant, and to exaggerate their fighting strength. For such scum, not punishing them is not enough anger!"

punish?Chiang Kai-shek sized up Tan Yankai. This man had an old-fashioned style, and his mouth was full of four books and five classics, but he was not flattered when it came to combat strength. Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said: "So, Commander Tan intends to go out to fight?"

Tan Yankai quickly retracted his head when he heard this, and comforted himself in his heart that a gentleman would not show his courage. Of course, this does not mean that there is a problem with his strength. After all, he even commanded the First Army, Fourth Army, Seventh Army, and Eighth Army. Tang Shengzhi, with a force of 12, was defeated, not to mention himself, the commander of the Second Army.

Chiang Kai-shek's gaze swept across the crowd. Those who sat here were all his capable generals, especially Tang Shengzhi, who was sitting silently in the corner. Before facing Yang Wei, Tang Shengzhi swept Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang, and won many victories. He has made great achievements, but what Chiang Kai-shek never expected was that he would be defeated by Yang Wei, which shows how strong this person is.

Yang Wei must fight. If the warlords are not eliminated, the great cause of national reunification cannot be accomplished. But the problem is how to fight head-on. Of course, it will not work. Hangzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Yang Wei's strength is outrageous. It was explained as a case study of the Whampoa Military Academy. Although it stood on the opposite side, it has to be said that Chiang Kai-shek still admired Yang Wei's tactical deployment very much.

Looking at the dull sky outside the window, Chiang Kai-shek shook his head slightly. If Yang Wei and other talents were under his command, not only would the country be unified, but it would also be possible to drive all the powers from this land. It's so different that one can't help but sigh.

Looking at the commanders under his command, Chiang Kai-shek was filled with emotion. As the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, Chiang Kai-shek knew his generals very well. The National Revolutionary Army seemed to be invincible, but in fact the internal The battle is still quite fierce.

He Yingqin, the commander of the First Army, was Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted person among the several army commanders. He Yingqin was skilled in leading troops and loyal, which won Chiang Kai-shek's appreciation.In contrast, although Tan Yankai is also loyal, and Hugh is tolerant and mediocre, but his food and paintings are not independent. When it comes to military talents, Chiang Kai-shek is indeed not satisfied.Zhu Peide, the commander of the Third Army, didn't like killing and attacking regardless of his status, but he was a luxurious and licentious person, so it was really hard to feel at ease when he was ordered to lead troops in battle.

Li Jishen, the commander of the Fourth Army, is one of the most capable commanders among the several commanders. He has strong strength in Guangzhou. Li Jishen, who graduated from the Army University, was retained because of his excellent grades. Assuming important positions, he carefully cultivated countless talents, but it is also because of his strength that Chiang Kai-shek is quite worried. Those who have this ability cannot be unambitious. A shrewd person like Li Jishen is false in cultivating talents for the party and the country, and he is rich in his own wings. In all honesty, if he was ordered to hold an important position, he might be rebellious.

As for Li Fulin, the commander of the Fifth Army, he was a bandit when he was young, and he was famous for his courage, but he was dull and unsociable, but he had a great preference for money and goods. People who are greedy for small things are definitely not people who do big things, so they are not appreciated. , but not a threat.

Cheng Qian, the commander of the Sixth Army, is Chiang Kai-shek's direct team member. Cheng Qian, who studied in Japan, is a member of the League and a veteran figure in the National Revolutionary Army. He can be said to be Chiang Kai-shek's confidant.

The most worrisome of these commanders is Li Zongren, the commander of the Seventh Army. As the leader of the Guangxi Clique, he once unified Guangxi. Looking at it, before the Northern Expedition, there were many differences with Chiang Kai-shek on tactical command.As for the direct lineage that occupies East China, if Li Zongren is sent to fight, there is a fear that he will monopolize Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Looking back on his own worries, Chiang Kai-shek even felt ridiculous and pathetic. However, since he was sitting in the position of the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, he would never make any concessions. Every inch of mountains and rivers will be bloody. Only when the great cause of reunification is complete can the internal troubles be settled It can be unanimously external.

Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek cleared his throat and said, "The battle situation is such that it is really unknown to attack rashly, but the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas must not be surrendered to bandits."

He Yingqin, the commander of the First Army, couldn't help but nodded his head heavily. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and He Yingqin, who was quite Confucian, said calmly: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are located on the border of the country. If large soldiers press down on the border, Yang Wei will inevitably fall into the background." Although the city is in one place, the excellent artillery fire is a headache, but Yang Wei will also be seriously injured after this battle. In my opinion, it is better to take this opportunity to attack Hangzhou on a large scale, and take advantage of its lack of strength. It can be broken in one fell swoop."

He Yingqin's suggestion was exactly what Chiang Kai-shek wanted, but as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Peide, the commander of the Third Army, said with concern: "Yang Wei's strength is several times stronger than that of other warlords. It seems simple, but every soldier and every soldier is a body of flesh and blood, how can we treat it like an ant?"

Li Zongren sneered and said: "Commander Zhu, it is reasonable to suffer casualties in the march and battle. If you treat them with the benevolence of a woman, you can achieve great things?"

Several people had different opinions, and Chiang Kai-shek kept his lips tightly shut, but Cheng Qian, who was a member of the direct line, had already seen what Chiang Kai-shek was thinking. Cheng Qian interrupted the argument between the several people and said sincerely: The battle is naturally to be fought, but it is just a matter of tactical deployment. Master He also said just now that Jiangsu and Zhejiang have a special geographical location. Go north with all your strength, and attack Hangzhou from both sides, and you will be able to defeat Bandit Yang in one fell swoop."

Cheng Qian's suggestion made people applaud. Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Just as he was about to express his opinion, he heard a crisp sound outside the window, which was the tiles falling to the ground. , Immediately afterwards, I heard a few meows coming from the roof, Li Fulin waved his big hand and said nonchalantly: "It turned out to be a wild cat."

But Chiang Kai-shek couldn't untie his frown. He had never seen any wild cats in the headquarters.
