From to 1935 2020

Soldiers out of Hebei!

Just like Zhang Yang sent troops to Shanxi, the Red Army's entry into Hebei also shocked the world!

At the same time, on the west side of the Central Army, the 57th Army and the 67th Army were hit by silver coin bombs. These two armies had been standing still in the Yuci area before.When Zhang Yang sent troops, he also suddenly marched east together at this time.

Although he has been "silent" from the beginning to the end, Chang Kaishen, no matter how incompetent he is, has come to his senses at this moment!

"Sure enough, the two thieves Zhang and Yang colluded with Li Runshi and Yan Laoxi to dig a hole in Shanxi to harm me!"

-------------------- Chapter 152 Crash--------------------

Chang Kaishen has never understood that the army that can be mobilized by himself is the army that truly belongs to him. Otherwise, no matter how many there are, they are just a bunch of meaningless numbers.

When Yan Laoxi made up his mind and insisted on watching from the sidelines and watching tigers fight from the sidelines, Chang Kaishen's comparison of the strength of the Central Army in Shanxi to the Red Army was not 100 million versus 20 as he imagined, nor was it The 55 to 15 in Shanxi is actually only 20+ to 15.

If he could understand this truth earlier, he would not have jumped into this pit at all.

After the defeat of Wei Lihuang's and Sun Yuanliang's tribes, with the Northeast Army entering Jin, Chang Kaishen was always by his side. Whether it was the German military adviser, He Yingqin, or Chen Cheng, they all issued the most severe warning to him: the 57th, The Northeast Army of the two divisions of the 67th Army is no longer a "friendly army", but an enemy army that may turn against the water at any time!

Chang Kaishen's strategic layout in Shanxi was completely bankrupt when the Northeast Army crossed the Yellow River on the day of No. 17.

On the 25th, the main force of the Red Army, which had just wiped out Wei Lihuang's department, went south, making a gesture of chasing and wiping out the [-]th Division.

Chang Kaishen, who had already lost too many bets at the gambling table in Shanxi, once forced Tang Enbo, Zhu Peide, and Luo Zhuoying to set off from Yushe with more than 25 troops, and rushed into Taiyue Taihang Mountain to pursue The Red Army then flanked the [-]th Division back and forth, countering the "delusion" of killing the Red Army.

Fortunately, this crazy idea was strongly opposed by the German consultants, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and others, and even the various central military units on the front line.

The terrifying terrain here in Taiyue and Taihang Mountains, if there is no absolute superiority in troops, throwing these troops indiscriminately is just to be the second Wei Lihuang—not to mention the terrible logistical supply problem in the middle.

What we need to do now is to let the 25th division who is jumping into the fire pit run away!

On the day when Wei Lihuang's troops were wiped out, Guan Linzheng led 25 divisions, only [-] kilometers away from Wuxiang County.At first Xu Shuai had the idea of ​​besieging and annihilating him.

However, as an old opponent who has been fighting the Red Army for a long time, the biggest feature of the 25th Division is that they also have a pair of iron feet - Qianlijushi is his nickname.

This army fought against the Red Army many times in the early years, with more wins and fewer losses. It has a great reputation and is good at learning from experience.After discovering that the Red Army is particularly capable of running, it also regards the speed of marching as the characteristic of the division.This was a special case in the national army at that time. Generally speaking, it was a common phenomenon that the national army could not outrun the Red Army. There were very few 25th divisions with iron feet.Whether it was during the Agrarian Revolutionary War or the later Anti-Japanese War, it performed extremely well.When it came to the War of Liberation, the unit still maintained the characteristics of marching "as fast as the wind".Attacking fiercely and retreating quickly, the nickname of "Thousand Li Horse" is not in vain.

The most virtuous thing Wei Lihuang did before surrendering was to promptly notify Guan Linzheng, the "most conscientious" friendly army in the surrounding area, who was trying to get closer to him for rescue.

At that time, Wei Lihuang said very bluntly in the telegram: "My side is hopeless, you should withdraw quickly!"

After receiving the news of the collapse of Wei Lihuang's troops, Guan Linzheng immediately ordered the entire army to retreat without waiting for Chang Kaishen's remote micro-management.At this time, his troops had just encountered the first blocking line set up by the Red Army in the Taiyue Mountains.

Before the Red Army could react, Guan Linzheng ordered his troops to shoot all the artillery shells they carried at the Red Army's blocking positions at once, then throw away the heavy equipment, and retreated without hesitation, walking cleanly and without delay.

Due to the sudden withdrawal, even Yu Tianyun, who was closest to him, had no time to react, so Guan Linzheng withdrew several miles away, and the two sides broke away from military contact.

At this time, the Red Army is here on the southern line, and only half of Yu Tianyun's army is performing blocking missions. It is obviously insufficient to pursue Guan Linzheng's 3th Division with a total strength of 25.When Xu Shuai transferred troops from other fronts, the troops of the 25th Division had withdrawn to more than ten miles away, and they were still heading south without hesitation.

Then Xu Shuai sent a telegram to the Pingyao headquarters about the situation here. Xu Shuai's opinion was: the time to encircle and wipe out the 25th Division has passed.

As an old opponent, Xu Shuai is very aware of the difficulty of this enemy. Guan Linzheng is by no means a mediocre general of the national army who works as a mother-in-law.

After the enemy's front commander and the general political commissar exchanged a bunch of telegrams within half an hour, Chairman Li Runshi agreed to the Xu division's revised combat plan request, but made a slight modification.

"Fake pursuit" 25 divisions!

I can't catch up with the 25th division, but I still have to catch up.Half of Yu Tianyun's corps of the nearest 25th Division took on this task.

In order to make the performance of "false pursuit" more realistic, from the 25th, the Red Army planes that took off from the front-line airport in Pingyao City chased the retreating troops of the [-]th Division and bombed them all the way.Let this pursuit battle that took place in the Shangdang area be more realistic.

Because at this time, Zhang Xueliang had already decided to cross the Yellow River and march towards Shanxi. The pontoon bridge was already being built at Fengling Ferry.

Yu Tianyun's false pursuit was to make Chang Kaishen misjudge that the main force of the Red Army was going all out to chase and wipe out the 25th Division. This misjudgment would make Chang Kaishen hesitate and would not order the entire army to retreat immediately.

This is very important.Just after we wiped out Wei Lihuang's troops, Xu Shuai's army was extremely tired and needed a day's rest. At the same time, Wuxiang County was tens of miles away from Yushe, and it took a day's march to transfer the main force to the front line.

The next day, more than 6000 Red Army troops, chasing nearly 25 troops from the [-]th Division, ran frantically in the Shangdang Changzhi area.

At that time, there were still many other places in the Shangdang area that joined the Kuomintang troops. For example, the New First Army and a small number of partial divisions of Wei Lihuang's Department. The main force of the 25th Division ran so embarrassingly. The other small units naturally followed in fear. We crossed the Yellow River and fled south together.

Wei Lihuang's troops were annihilated on the [-]th, but on the [-]th, Chang Kaishen was still hesitating. Regardless of the opposition of the people around him, he resolutely demanded that the three armies of Yushe should throw their troops into Taiyue Mountain and Taihang Mountain. In this disgusting bottomless pit.

According to his thinking, it was the Red Army who surrounded and chased the 25th Division, and the Central Army chased the Red Army behind.one chasing one...

Although I lost nearly 4 people, I still have a main force of more than 17. On the Red Army side, after deducting the troops surrounding Taiyuan, it would be good to have [-] to [-] here...

Fortunately, the three commanders of the three armies on the front line and one useless Sun Yuanliang were all terrified by the collapse of Wei Lihuang's troops within two days.The three armies collectively hesitated and procrastinated.At this moment, Chang Kaishen was unable to direct the army's shortcomings like his arms, but instead saved their lives.

But this group of people did not retreat immediately, but they also bought the most precious day for Xu Shuai to transfer the main force to the north to the front line of Yushe.

On the [-]th, as Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army crossed the Yellow River, occupied the Yuncheng area in southwestern Shanxi, and then went north to Linfen, showing the attitude of advancing and retreating with the Red Army, even a fool could see the situation in Shanxi.

The two cannon fodder next to Chang Baldzi, the 57th and 67th Army, the Northeast Army, are not friendly troops at all, but collaborating enemy troops!

When the two armies marched to the northeast with malicious intentions under Zhang Xueliang's instructions, Chang Kaishen, who could not command them, turned pale instantly.

"The silver coin bomb has actually failed!"

On the 67th, all the senior officers of Wang Yizhe's [-]th Army held a meeting. At the meeting place, he said to everyone:

"Everyone, we have all taken the chairman's silver dollars, but the chairman's ocean is not easy to get. During the Central Plains War, Shi Yousan took his money. What happened afterwards? Our Northeast Army took him How did he treat us later? Dayang is a good thing, but he is hot!"

When Wang Yizhe spoke, Zhang Xuesi also stood beside him.Although he is young and has no qualifications, standing here represents Zhang Xueliang's attitude and "clone".

Zhang Xuesi stood up and spoke on behalf of his elder brother: "I encouraged everyone to take Chang Kaishen's money earlier. This is what my elder brother meant. Our Northeast Army has no home and is poor! In the past few years, we have all been homeless dogs. Wandering around, living under the fence, suffering all the white eyes - have you had enough of this kind of suffering?"

As soon as this remark was said, it was immediately agreed by all the officers of the 67th Army below, including Wu Keren.

Wang Yizhe interjected and asked the crowd loudly: "We need a home, a root, and a hot nest where we can sleep! We also need a piece of land that can produce food! In addition, we also need a factory that can produce weapons. Help us Send it back to the factory in the Northeast! Do you think Chang Kaishen can give us these things? Is that enough silver dollars and French currency waste paper?"

"not enough!"

Including Wu Keren, all the generals of the Northeast Army shouted together.Although there are quite a few of them, they really accepted Chang Kaishen's bribe and wanted to change their minds.But the atmosphere was such that everyone's thinking was led by Zhang Xuesi and Wang Yizhe who spoke first, and they spoke together at their rhythm.And being coerced into doing this kind of "sugar-coated eating, cannonballs pushing back", next time Chang Kaishen wants to buy them again, he will have to think twice.

Zhang Xuesi said, "A month ago, someone told my brother that my father, Marshal Zhang, is chivalrous and gangster-like! If he was in the predicament we are in now, he has guns and cannons in his hands, but he is a bereaved man." , Rootless Ping, what should I do?"

Zhang Xuesi opened his eyes wide. Although he is young and immature, today's speech has been practiced behind closed doors for many days. Before he came, he was instructed by an expert.

"Grab him!"

Among the officers, the insiders who had been arranged for a long time ago roared at this moment.

"Steal his!" "Steal his!"

Some people took the lead, others echoed, and soon the voice in the conference room was full of voices.

Both Huang Ke and Wu Hao have reminded them that the Northeast Army has a big problem. Even if Wang Yizhe and Zhang Xuesi pursue progress, but this group of gangsters who are full of gangsters talk about Marxism-Leninism and communism with them, they will not listen. They don't want to hear it, but to convince them, you have to use words they can understand.

What Zhang Xuesi wanted to say today was actually taught to him sentence by sentence by Wu Hao and Huang Ke.Wu Hao even asked Zhang Xuesi to repeat the simulation training many times.

"Zhang Xueliang is an idiot who cannot be supported, but Zhang Xuesi is the best seedling after he has been cultivated."

This is Huang Ke's view, which is also agreed by Wu Hao.

"Yes, it's to rob him, to rob Yan Laoxi!"

Zhang Xuesi waved his fist and revealed the final hole card like a dagger.

In fact, after entering the Jin Dynasty, within the 67th Army, everyone had been discussing in private for a long time about what to do after entering the Jin Dynasty.

No one wants to be someone else's cannon fodder.In the past period of time, Wang Yizhe's confidantes had secretly linked up with the officers, giving various hints. Until today, when Zhang Xueliang announced that the Northeast had entered Jin Dynasty and was about to turn against Chang Kaishen, he only revealed his trump card.

"Chang Kaishen, the green skin, runs the money printing machine, prints a pile of waste paper, and wants to bribe us to work for him as cannon fodder? Is there such a good thing? He thinks that with that little cash, he can offset the past few years. Have they humiliated our Northeast Army in various ways during the past year?"

"no!"

"The fiat currency papers just want to buy us off, bah!"

There was a lot of scolding below.

Zhang Xuesi aroused everyone's emotions and said: "In the past few months, our Northeast Army has formed a secret alliance with the Red Army. This time, we entered Shanxi to carve up Shanxi together! Chang Kaishen's green skin wants us to take chestnuts for him. , die for him first, is it so easy?"

"No!" "Good idea!"

"Just yesterday, the day before yesterday, his new first army, the elite No.14 army, was all finished. His troops now only have 10 people left in Shanxi, while our Northeast Army has 20 people, and the Red Army has 20 people. People. Now it’s 40 vs. [-]! Everyone said, what should we do now?” (Zhang Xuesi deliberately said that Chang Kaishen’s troops were short)

"Get rid of Chang Kaishen, and share Shanxi with the Red Army!"

"Not only Shanxi, but also Hebei! This is ours!"

Of course, after finishing the gangster's words that this group of people can understand, it is necessary to bring their emotions back to the right track in time.

"Occupying Shanxi and Hebei, we still have to build guns and cannons here, recruit troops and train soldiers, and then fight back to the Northeast!"

"Yes, yes! Fight back to the northeast!"

"Go back to the northeast!"

Driven by a group of pre-arranged "Tuo", all the generals of the Northeast Army in the conference room roared together.

In the past few years, Chang Kaishen has done too many unrighteous things to the Northeast Army!

Among other things, before September 29, in fact, the whole of Hebei belonged to the territory of the Northeast Army.After the prodigal son Zhang Xueliang lost everything outside the customs, his reputation was greatly damaged and he was forced to step down and resign. Afterwards, Hebei was taken away by Chang Kaishen in the name of the central government, and he was given to Song Zheyuan of the [-]th Army as a favor.The Northeast Army, on the other hand, became a "guest army" attached to the Hebei territory, completely lost its last place to stand and became an "outsider".

At that time, the top and bottom of the Northeast Army, who were notorious for not resisting, were all "not human" in the hearts of the people of the country. They had no righteousness, and their reputation was the biggest negative.

This kind of bitterness, this kind of resentment, this kind of hatred, this kind of feeling is hard to calm down, and it has accumulated countless in the past few years.Life is so miserable, but Chang Kaishen is still playing with them like monkeys, how can the Northeast Army not see it?

After so many years of resentment, everyone needs an outlet.

On April [-], when Zhang Xueliang publicly opposed Chang Kaishen and entered Shanxi under the banner of forcing Chang Kaishen to resist Japan, it finally exploded.

And a similar scene happened simultaneously in the barracks of the 57th Army.

-------------

On the [-]th, Chang Baldzi, who hadn't slept all night, finally issued an order for the entire army to withdraw from Shanxi under the urging of countless advisers around him.

At the same time, Yu Tianyun, who was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, was still frantically chasing the 6000 people of the 25th Division with 3 people under the cover of the plane.The whole of China, even Chang Kaishen, believed that the main force of the Red Army was going south to chase and wipe out the 25th Division.

In order to keep the "thousand-mile horse" in the national army, Chang Kaishen did not blame Guan Linzheng for throwing away all the artillery. Instead, he ordered the local troops in Henan to build pontoon bridges on the Yellow River as a response.After running first, the 25th Division, the best-running unit in the national army, was really difficult for the Red Army to catch up to (it didn't want to catch up at first), but in the process of running to the south bank of the Yellow River, it was constantly falling behind along the way And deserters, coupled with the bombing of the planes in the sky, also "run away and get thinner".

Chang Kaishen, who mistakenly thought that the main force of the Red Army was attracted by the 25th Division, never expected that the main force of the Red Army in the Taiyue Taihang Mountains not only did not go south, but a large number of troops gathered and were going north with all their strength.

At this point in time, Tang Enbo, Zhu Peide, and Luo Zhuoying, who received his evacuation order, began to retreat to the northeast.

Although they didn't know that something happened to the 57th and 67th armies, Zhang Xueliang crossed the Yellow River and let everyone understand that all the Northeast Army is now completely unreliable.Here in Shanxi, Li Runshi colluded with Zhang Yang and the two thieves to dig a super big hole for Chang Kaishen!

If you don't run away at this time, your money will be lost!

Retreat is the most difficult test to reflect the overall quality of an army.

Unfortunately, Chang Kaishen's troops did not learn how to retreat in an orderly and steady manner until their demise.

On the [-]th, when Chang Kaishen gave the order to retreat, his son's troops, Tang Enbo's troops in the northernmost position, were the first to run.

The location where Tang Enbo belongs is dozens of kilometers behind him, which is the railway line from Taiyuan to Shijiazhuang.Chang Kaishen issued an order to retreat, and Tang Enbo's entire army retreated immediately.
