The Republic of Heroes

Jiang Zhongzheng stayed up all night, and the battle reports from Henan and Anhui flew in like snowflakes, filling his desk. Chen Cheng's 17th Division really didn't spend a lot of effort in building it, and it actually took Yang Xiaoou's Second Army and Dong Haibin's army together. The No. [-] division of the army was held back, and the two sides fought all night without seeing a result. In the end, there seemed to be a stalemate. This is not what he likes to see.

"Call Cixiu and ask him to find a breakthrough and break the deadlock on the battlefield!"

Since the war was just about to start, the confidential secretary was on call all night long. After hearing Jiang Zhongzheng's order, he immediately translated and generated electricity.The situation in Anhui was unsatisfactory. On the contrary, the situation in Henan was beyond his expectations. Gu Zhutong's No. 16 Army was originally in a situation where the enemy was on the back, but the three Hubei security brigades went north to break this balance. Guan Bingyan's armored brigade was forced to turn around and fight fiercely with the Jiang army who was reinforced by Hubei.

Gu Zhutong saw this great opportunity, and originally planned to stab Guan Bingyan in the back, but Li Youting was not a vegetarian, so how could he let him succeed.After learning that Guan Bingyan was entangled with Hubei reinforcements, he immediately sent troops south to entangle Gu Zhutong, so as to give Guan Bingyan time to win.

The telegram Jiang Zhongzheng received was sent when Gu Zhutong decided to go south and attack Guan Bingyan with reinforcements from Hubei. It seemed that the situation was very good. Get rid of the danger of being encircled by the Shandong army.

The battle lasted only one night, and the two sides looked evenly matched. In fact, Jiang Zhongzheng had already seen a deep flaw in the opponent's actions. As long as Gu Zhutong and Chen Cheng persevered, Wu Xiaoliang would definitely be defeated. A rare smile appeared on his face. Although it was fleeting, it was full of his pride and arrogance.

It just so happened that Yang Yongtai pushed the door open and entered the room, Jiang Zhongzheng immediately motioned him to sit on the sofa, ready to deduce the changes in the battlefield situation with him.

"Sit down, Changqing, and talk about the direction of the situation."

Yang Yongtai also stayed up all night, but Lao Jiang was still considerate of his subordinates and asked him to go back and rest for a while.But how could Yang Yongtai sleep soundly, so he hurried back after simply eating breakfast.

Yang Yongtai sat on the sofa, took a sip of the tea just made by the orderly, and said impatiently: "Look at the situation, as long as today is over, the overall situation will be settled, and all suspense will be settled."

Before he left, he had already learned about the battle between Anhui and Henan, so he was extremely optimistic about the development of the battle.

"The most important thing now is Zhang Hanqing's Northeast Army in the north. Even if he doesn't send troops to Jinan, as long as he can stand on the north bank of the Yellow River and contain the main force of the Shandong Army, we will be sure to win this battle."

After listening to Yang Yongtai's analysis, Jiang Zhongzheng felt more at ease. He just felt refreshed. The stuffy and evil breath in his chest that had been suffocated for several months finally found a place to vent.

As for whether the Northeast Army can gain a foothold on the north bank of the Yellow River, I am afraid that even fools know the answer. Although the Northeast Army lost its base outside the pass and fought hundreds of battles one after another, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Self-defense should be no problem.

At this moment, the confidential secretary called out excitedly.

"Mr. Chen calls urgently!"

"Read!"

"Dong's men and horses retreated and wiped out thousands of enemies, while Yang's men and horses waited and watched, seeming to have doubts, and there is a lot to do in defeating each of them."

It's really good things in pairs. This news stimulated the nerves of everyone present like a stimulant.Especially Jiang Zhongzheng, although his old face was still so tight that no trace of a smile could be seen, his heart was already full of joy.

Chen Cixiu really did not disappoint him. This battle was very encouraging. Although Dong Haibin's [-]th Division was only slightly defeated and the loss was only a few thousand people, the result of this contact would definitely affect the morale of the army.The victory of the Central Army of his direct line in the First World War will inevitably produce the courage and self-confidence to give up.On the contrary, the Shandong Army will have a fear of the Central Army, because the two armies are at war, and a defeat or victory is definitely not one plus one equals two. It's like losing your soul.

As long as the Shandong army obediently fights one more hundred battles and Chen Cixiu has a few more battles left, the situation in Anhui will be eliminated.Although Chen Cheng's Eleventh Division is one division in terms of organization, it actually has the strength of nearly three divisions, and almost all divisions are equipped with extremely advanced weapons. , the situation in Anhui is just around the corner, and his central army can finally once again point at Shandong and drive directly to Jinan.

"Call back for the award, tell Cixiu, don't chase after the poor, and fight steadily!"

Chen Cheng was still very reassuring as old Jiang in the war, so he was not content with his internal affairs and command strategy at all, but he still couldn't help but say a few words.

An attendant military officer came into the room to ask for instructions: "Commissioner Wu is asking to see, is the chairman missing?"

If it had been a few days earlier, Jiang Zhongzheng would have refused without hesitation, but this time it was different, the battle situation had initially shown the rudiments of victory, and Wu Xiaoliang was allowed to come in, just in time to see what this General Wu was up to.

Of course, Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't meet Wu Xiaoliang in his command room. After all, it involved frontline news, so he had better be careful.

He arranged Wu Xiaoliang in the living room, and it took him almost a quarter of an hour before he was late. As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Zhongzheng first expressed his apology. Nanjing has been busy with affairs for the past few days, and it was not until today that he found time to talk with him in detail.

After listening to Jiang Zhongzheng's explanation, Wu Xiaoliang smiled. He didn't care whether Jiang Zhongzheng was really busy or not. How many cards are there.

"Are you safe from the appointed seat?"

Wu Xiaoliang's opening remarks were just a routine greeting that was not painful or itchy. He couldn't bear the need to play around with Jiang Zhongzheng, so he just went straight.Anyway, everything is based on strength. If you win the battle, it is yours. If you lose, he will not have to go back to Shandong. Jiang Fengyan and others will never let go of the opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

But no matter how direct it is, there needs to be a buffer, and it is absolutely inappropriate to directly bring up the focus of the conflict between the two parties, so after exchanging pleasantries, he kept silent.The reception room suddenly fell into an awkward atmosphere.

Jiang Zhongzheng cleared his throat, and secretly scolded Wu Xiaoliang for being such a cunning guy. He obviously came to inquire about the news, but he didn't say a word because he was waiting for himself to speak first?Of course, Lao Jiang didn't want to mention it. The so-called too much talk will lead to loss. If those words are accidentally leaked, the gain will not be worth the loss.

But he couldn't just sit and stare blankly without talking, so Lao Jiang cleared his throat after clearing his throat a few times, and when he was about to speak, Wu Xiaoliang opened his mouth again.

"The commissioner is really a good soldier, the Japanese invaders are really glad that they didn't meet Cixiu..."

This sounded like a compliment to Chen Cheng, the number one general under his sect, who had trained his troops well and won the battle, but the second half of the sentence stopped in his ears, but it was extremely unpleasant. What is the situation that the Japanese invaders did not meet him?It is obviously a satire that he preserves his strength and refuses to send his main force to the front line to fight against Japan.

I saw Jiang Zhongzheng's face turned white and blue and red, as if he had opened a dyeing workshop.He did have a reason for being embarrassed. On the other hand, it also showed that Lao Jiang was not shameless to the extreme. At least he did not take reason in this matter.

And Jiang Zhongzheng, as the leader of the party and country, naturally couldn't explain and argue just because of a few words.Although he can't explain it, he can fight back.

"I heard that Weizhong has recommended the candidate for the chairman of the Henan provincial government?"

This strike hit Wu Xiaoliang's vital point. The ostensible reason for this battle was the competition for the position of Chairman of Henan Province. Jiang Zhongzheng mentioned it on his own initiative, and it was nothing more than a tactful deterrent to him. With corresponding strength, if Wu Xiaoliang is defeated in the end, what qualifications does he have to sit here and talk to him?

Wu Xiaoliang didn't expect that after a few turning points, he directly bypassed the key issue.

"I wonder if the Chairman is satisfied?"

This answer almost made Jiang Zhongzheng's nose crooked, and it was too dishonest.If someone who is a bit more enlightened will answer modestly that he is not talented enough, and his ability is not bad, please give me a seat!Jiang Zhongzheng will naturally give a standard answer.

But Wu Xiaoliang didn't know which tendon was pulled out at this time, so he directly pushed forward, so don't blame him, Lao Jiang, for turning his face.

I saw the dark cloud on Jiang Zhongzheng's face spread rapidly, and the gloom brought a bit of sternness. Ordinary people would shudder and tremble when they saw it.But this time it was Yang Yongtai who was in charge of fighting back and slapping the face. He and Lao Jiang came to the reception room together.

"Weizhong's words are wrong. The ownership of Henan has not yet been determined. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yang Yongtai asked a question back, seeing that Wu Xiaoliang didn't mean to answer, he took advantage of the victory and pursued him.

"I heard that your department encountered some troubles in Henan. I wonder if they have been resolved?"

The meaning is obvious, if you want Henan, you can agree to this battle first, and let Gu Zhutong be kicked out.

It's just that Lao Jiang is still the leader after all, and they can't let the two speak clearly. It would be aggrieved enough to be forced to reconcile, but if Wu Xiaoliang commits stubbornness again and confronts Mr. Yang, it will not end well.After all, it's just a matter of talking and talking, and whoever wins or loses is not as happy as the results of the frontline battles.

After pre-judging that the situation of the Shandong Army was unfavorable, Jiang Zhongzheng wanted to completely eradicate Wu Xiaoliang without any mercy, and force him to go abroad for the second time, so as to clear up this confidant trouble he had cultivated in one fell swoop.

Jiang Zhongzheng was looking at Wu Xiaoliang, and for a moment he had an illusion, the person in front of him was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, but the lamb itself didn't realize it, isn't it a bit sad?

But Jiang Zhongzheng immediately felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. He always felt that something was wrong. Looking at Wu Xiaoliang's calm expression on the sofa, he felt that he must have missed something...
