After April [-], in order to gain the support of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium and the Anglo-American forces, Chang Kaishen kicked away his original partner Chen Jieru and married Song Meiling as his wife.

In order to deceive Chen Jieru into agreeing to a divorce, Chang Kaishen knelt in the Buddhist hall and made a poisonous oath to the Buddha: If I don’t marry Chen Jieru back within 20 years, the Buddha will cast spells on me to destroy my country, exile me to an isolated island and never return to my hometown for life. …

After leaving the Buddhist hall, divorced and married Meiling, Chang Kaishen immediately kicked the Buddha away to convert to Christianity as soon as he turned around, embracing the aura of God to resist the magic power of the Buddha...

After that, Chang Kaishen didn't like to enter the Buddhist hall unless it was absolutely necessary.

But in the past year, Chang Kaishen was really miserable.The majestic chairman of the Republic of China was beaten into a local warlord with "incomplete four provinces", and even became an enemy of public criticism.

The big bosses in Britain and the United States are more and more concerned about his life and death, and they are ready to change horses to support others. Japanese friends are also black-hearted. Needless to say, they hit their old enemy Li Runshi. I almost have to imitate Wen Zhenggong and perform the reality show of jumping over the river.

I, Chang Kaishen, Chairman of the ROC, who has had a harder life than me in the past year?

When people are desperate, it is inevitable to seek ghosts and gods to find some spiritual sustenance.Only then did he recall the vow he had made back then, so he hurriedly went to the temple to burn incense during the New Year, and promised in front of the Buddha that once he could overcome this difficulty, he would help the Buddha add a golden body.

After leaving the temple, Chang Kaishen was thinking about whether to go into a nearby church to burn another stick of incense for God, but on the way back, he saw a fortune-telling booth, and his heart moved, so he called the guard, and after whispering a few words, the guard Yi Convince, go to ask questions.

The guard changed into casual clothes, came to the booth, threw out a few oceans, and asked, "My master, this year is a big event, but I don't know how this year's luck will be."

A fortune teller wearing sunglasses asked the horoscope of his "master"'s birthday, and after divination, he wrote four characters and sent it back.

Chang Kaishen took it over and saw that there were four words written on it: Don't Miss This Opportunity.

After the New Year, the Red Army in Anhui continued to increase its troops, and the war was imminent, so Chang Kaishen couldn't sleep at night.However, at this time, the Japanese friends in the north were lingering, and they refused to send troops no matter what, so anxious, on February [-]th, Chang Kaishen, his wife, and more than a dozen carts of banknotes went to Huainan to work on the front line. (PS At this time, Huainan should be called Shouchun, right?)

Chencheng's [-]th Army was stationed in Huainan. Bundles of French coins with a face value of [-] yuan were distributed to the soldiers below as New Year's red envelopes. Chang Kaishen went all the way south from the front line of Huainan. The "grass paper" produced by the banknote printing machines working overtime overnight was distributed.

At this time, the Kuomintang troops have completely lost the courage to fight in the field. From Huainan to Hefei and Tongcheng, all the troops are constantly repairing fortifications. train of thought.

Chang Kaishen led the senior military officials all the way south from Huainan. The Hefei war zone was a transit point connecting Huainan and Tongcheng.Stationed here is the newly formed 74th Army. Although the 74th Army is a new army, it is the main force that Chang Kaishen painstakingly builds German and American weapons: German rifles, American tanks and cannons, and 24 newly arrived P36 fighter jets, [-] of which are deployed in the Hefei Airport area.

From the Battle of Shanxi to the Battle of Hubei, in the past year, Chang Kaishen suffered enough from not having an air force.Whether it is the Red Army in the north or the Chen Jitang Cantonese Army in the south, they all rely on the air force superiority to shit on his troops in all kinds of ways, flying dragons riding on their faces.

At the beginning of January this year, the first batch of P24s produced in Lamborghini arrived, assembled at Nanchang Airport, and equipped the troops as soon as possible.In early February, the Kuomintang Air Force led by Gao Zhihang first fought Chen Jitang in Jiangxi.When Huang Ke led a team to purchase in Europe in October last year, Gao Zhihang, who went with him, did not return to China immediately. Instead, with Huang Ke's sponsorship, he went to Spain for "training". We exchanged for nearly two months and did not return to China until January.

In the air battle at the beginning of February, the P24 fighter jets of the Nanjing Kuomintang Air Force took advantage of the speed of more than 3 kilometers to easily beat the Hawker 4 of the Cantonese Army in the air battle, and achieved a 0-[-] victory.After the war, Chang Kaishen's confidence in his own side increased greatly, and finally he no longer had to worry about being "flyed in the face" by Li Runshi wantonly.

After arriving in Hefei, Chang Kaishen's first step was to go to the local airport to inspect the Air Force.At the same time, the pilots were given New Year red envelopes.

Compared with the unscrupulous thing of sending "straw paper" to the cannon fodder of the Eighteenth Army, when giving red envelopes to the pilots, what Chang Kaishen took out was a solid seal and a sea of ​​​​precipitated facts.

Fifty planes, one hundred dollars for each pilot, the reward is quite generous. (including attack aircraft bombers)

However, after Chang Kaishen turned and left, almost all the pilots at the scene curled their lips in disdain.

"How stingy! This year's Chinese New Year, the young marshal entrusted someone to give each of us two hundred dollars in red envelopes!"

As for the ground staff who took the "straw paper" red envelope beside him, he also had a look of disdain - "The red envelope sent by the young marshal during the Chinese New Year is also a hundred dollars!"

After condolences to the pilots, Chang Kaishen went to the garrison of the 74th Army, summoned the soldiers of the two divisions of the army, and distributed silver dollars and gold bars and red envelopes "straw paper" along the way.When it comes to distributing money, Chang Kaishen makes a very clear distinction: officers and generals are given silver dollars, pilots and tank soldiers are also given silver dollars, and ordinary soldiers are given straw paper as cannon fodder.

It took three days to complete the inspection and condolences, and returned to Nanjing along the Yangtze River on the cruiser Pingyuan.Along the way, he said to his wife: "As long as we can stick to it until May, when the Japanese enter the customs and move south, under the pressure of the whole people's war of resistance, Li Runshi will have to stop the civil war and transfer troops to the north, and we will be safe here."

When he said this, even Chang Kaishen himself felt weird, as if he had stolen someone's lines.

Chang Kaishen said to his wife bitterly:

"At that time, the troops of the Red Bandits will fight with the Japanese in Shanxi, North China. We will stay in the south to preserve our strength, train our troops hard, and develop with peace of mind. At about the same time, we will take advantage of the future and move westward, taking Henan first and then Hubei. , regain lost ground..."

When he said the words of recovering the lost land, Chang Kaishen looked westward from the warship and murmured to himself.

"Boling, thank you for your hard work, you have to persevere a little longer! Don't bow to Li Runshi!"

Last December, after the Red Army completely captured Chongqing, the Fifth Army of Xue Yue, the "King of Stinky Shit in Hanzhong", completely became an isolated army, unable to advance or retreat.

Now Chongqing is garrisoned by He Shuai. Relying on his good relationship with the Sichuan army, the Sichuan army has agreed to make way for the Red Army to enter Sichuan to suppress bandits—yes, to suppress bandits.Now in propaganda, the Red Army calls Chang Kaishen's government the "Chang Kaishen Bandit Gang", and the army is called the "Bandit Army".In just one year, with the exchange of strategic positions between the two sides, the two forces have exchanged each other's script lines from the mentality of the superiors to the propaganda departments below.

-----------

"Buzzing......"

An Air 5 reconnaissance bomber flew over the city of Hanzhong, dropping countless pieces of paper.

Seeing the pieces of paper fluttering and falling from the sky, Xue Yue sighed depressingly.

"Unexpectedly, Hanzhong is actually the place where I, Xue Boling, is buried."

In the past year, Xue Yue lived extremely hard in Hanzhong.

As soon as the New Year was over, the Red Army from the direction of Wudu immediately launched a strategic attack on Hanzhong.Xue Yue raised soldiers in Hanzhong for a year, and his subordinates were known as Huben [-]!In the past year, there have been no major wars in Hanzhong, but small battles have continued.All kinds of bad battles were so disgusting that Xue Yue even vomited out the overnight meal.

After the Battle of Shanxi, after July, the strength of the Red Army units in the direction of Wudu continued to increase, and the Red Army mountain guerrillas from the direction of Wudu also gradually changed from guerrilla raids to offensive operations.

In February 1937, the Red Army from the direction of Wudu, after more than a year of continuous harassment and infiltration operations, finally successfully infiltrated Hanzhong, captured the surrounding villages and small towns near the mountains, and even in Ningqiang , Lueyang area to establish a forward base.Not only that, in the Bashan area in the south of Hanzhong, the Bashan guerrillas were active in this area before the Long March. After receiving the support of materials and personnel that infiltrated the Red Army, the team has been continuously expanding in one year. In time, it has developed into a force with 2000 people and thousands of guns.It cooperates with the Red Army in the north of Hanzhong, responding to the action from the south to the north, and the harassment makes Xue Yue extremely uncomfortable.

At first, Xue Yue commanded a large number of soldiers, but once the army arrived, the Red Army could not hold the ground and could only retreat.However, after November, Xue Yue soon found that if he played at this pace, he would die without a burial in at most half a year.

His 4 army seems to be a large number, but in fact the core force is less than [-] people, and the rest are local recruits, which are unusable militia troops.In January, Xue Yue launched a counterattack and extermination campaign in a desperate manner.

The result is...

Just watch the planes flying overhead.

Since July last year, after the war in Hanzhong changed from strategic offensive to defensive, Xue Yue's troops began to be bombed frequently.

From time to time, the Red Army in the direction of Wudu, as long as the weather permits and the planes can fly, the Red Army on the opposite side will dispatch one or two planes to blow up his front-line barracks.Either bomb the positions facing the front line, or directly bomb the barracks behind.When the plane came over, the pilots on the opposite side drove to a high altitude, then turned off the engine, glided into the field, and after the bombing was over, they fired bullets and left.

It didn't hurt much, but Hanzhong's Fifth Army clearly felt that the noose around its neck was tightening little by little.

In January of this year, as Huang Ke returned to China, he flew to Hanzhong himself, and after transporting a lot of gasoline and equipment, the Red Army established a front-line airport on the tip of Xue Yue's nose in Hanzhong at an "unreasonable" speed. Owned a full ten light tanks - T27 ultra-light tanks aided by the Soviet Union. (similar to CV33)

The Red Army, which had been greatly replenished, launched a fierce "New Year Offensive" at the end of January 1937.When Xue Yue entered Hanzhong, all the troops in the waiting station carried light equipment, and there were no anti-tank weapons at all.Even if the opponent's tanks are all thin iron like T1, it is also a group of infantry under him who have no anti-tank weapons and experience in anti-tank can resist, and the opponent also has several planes to provide air support.

After the First World War, Xue Yue was defeated, losing nearly ten thousand troops, and lost Ningqiang and Lueyang around Hanzhong, and was forced to hide and defend (waiting to die).During this period, he could use far more mobile troops than the Red Army on the opposite side, but his core combat power did not have much advantage. As for weapons and equipment...

After the Spring Festival in 1937, when Xue Yue counted his family fortune, he feared to find one thing: his troops were out of ammunition!

The Nanjing Kuomintang Army never knew what "farming" was.

The Kuomintang army only had one ordnance repair shop in Hanzhong. With the rear area cut off, they continued to fight the Red Army, and the bullets were just one round less.

The main force from Chongqing's Helong Division has not yet attacked Hanzhong. The Fifth Army, which relies on outside sources for all its arms and supplies, first discovered that the artillery shells stored at home were being fought more and more during the continuous big, small, and bad battles with the Red Army troops. The fewer the bullets, the more bullets will start counting.

As for reloading bullets, Xue Yue, who had just realized the lack of ammunition, tried his best to collect his belongings in Hanzhong, but he only found a dozen or so earthen bullet reloaders from the people, which were useless at all.Even with the reloader, how to get the propellant is a big problem.

Standing in the courtyard of the headquarters, Xue Yue picked up the leaflet dropped by the reconnaissance plane from the ground. Apart from appealing to the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army to surrender, there was a little more new content compared to the leaflet dropped a few days ago : Announce to the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army the number of "deserters" who "surrendered anyway".

"540 seven people! It's only been three days, and more than 100 people have escaped?"

Looking at the leaflets falling from the sky, Xue Yue sighed.Before the main force of the He Long tribe from Chongqing entered Hanzhong, he was cornered by the "partial division" of the Red Army heading south from Wudu.

After fighting a bad battle for a year, the stinky battle, from "Dung General" to "King of Dung", Xue Yue has not figured out how he lost until now.

"Less than two years... At this time the year before last, I chased the Red Army from Hunan to Guizhou, and then from Guizhou to Sichuan! Until the Battle of Songfan..."

After the New Year Offensive, and before the Spring Festival in February, the fighting between the Red Army and the White Army in Hanzhong had temporarily ceased, and the occasional planes only dropped leaflets and did not drop bombs.As for the "big dung crossbow" that Xue Yue's tribe hated, it was no longer "stinky dung bombs" that were ejected at night, but leaflets. -

In private, the Red Army has sent a special envoy to Xue Yue to "persuade surrender" through various channels.

They offered two conditions for Xue Yue to choose.Or lead an uprising and accept reorganization, and the Red Army will not investigate Xue Yue's blood feud in the past.

The second condition is to lay down their arms, the whole army surrenders, and the remaining members are free to choose, either to join the Red Army, or to be sent back to their hometowns.The past blood feud between the two sides is also irrelevant.

At the same time, Nanjing naturally fought hard for Xue Yue, asking him to fight to the death.want him

Chang Kaishen sent countless telegrams "to shed the last drop of blood for the party and the country", but there was no real and effective material support.Chang Kaishen, who lost even Hubei and Hunan, was unable to fly the plane over Hanzhong.

In this plane, the Central Red Army traveled more than 2 miles in the Long March, and Xue Yue led the army to chase after him, also running tens of thousands of miles.The soldiers under his command have been away from home for more than two years.

"I miss my relatives every festive season." His troops, who have been away from home for two years, are even more homesick during the sensitive period from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival.

The battle for Hanzhong with the Red Army is no longer in sight, and the annihilation of the entire army is even more imminent.After the Spring Festival, the desertion situation of the Fifth Army became more and more serious day by day.

The number of 540 and seven people in the Red Army leaflets, these escaped soldiers were not recruits recruited from Hanzhong, but veterans he brought into Hanzhong.As for the local soldiers conscripted in Hanzhong, the situation of deserters was equally serious.

The Red Army, which had seized several pieces of land, had blatantly carried out land reform there.During the New Year Offensive, the victorious Red Army captured a large number of local soldiers, just like what happened during the Shanxi Campaign. They directly "land reformed and divided the fields" on the spot for the local captured soldiers, and instantly turned a large number of White troops from white to white. red.The release of the captives spread the news, which even caused the collective morale of the supplementary soldiers recruited by Xue Yue in the local area.

Now he can't attack and can't defend. Although he has many troops, he has no fighting spirit.In terms of supplies, ammunition is insufficient and weapons are outdated.All the soldiers from other places under his command wanted to go back to their hometown, but the local soldiers were hoping that the Red Army could win and divide the land for their families.Although some clever people did not immediately defect to the Red Army, they wanted to pull more "military folks" to "revolt on the battlefield" at the right time, and exchange "contributions" for better treatment......

At the beginning of March 1937, as He Long led tens of thousands of Red Army into Hanzhong via Chuanzhong, when the main force of the Red Army launched the "Huaihai" campaign on this plane in Anhui Province to the east, Xue Yue, who had nowhere to go, ordered the whole army to Put down your arms and accept the "peaceful reorganization" of the Red Army.

And on this day, Chang Kaishen, who got the bad news, just smashed the teacup in his hand in anger, and another bad news came like a bolt from the blue.

On March 74th, it was also the day when hundreds of thousands of Red Army launched a large-scale attack on Anhui. The direction of the attack was the Hefei [-]th Army station in the center of the Long Snake Formation.

The Air Force, which had just received Chang Kaishen's "New Year's Red Envelope", dispatched a total of 36 aircraft, including 24 newly imported P[-] fighter jets, the entire air force that day.

None of these planes, together with the pilots, flew back after being dispatched that day...

On the evening of March [-]th, when Chang Kaishen heard the bad news, his eyes turned black and he almost passed out on the spot!This time, he finally understood what "the opportunity" must not be missed.

At this time, Chang Kaishen didn't know the situation on the front line: at the forefront, Chang Kaishen admired him very much, personally promoted his favorite general, Guo Rugui's troops belonged to the 137th Brigade with tens of thousands of people (the characteristics of the national army, wartime The strengthened brigade, which will temporarily increase [-]% of the supplementary troops), actually surrendered on the battlefield without a fight, allowing the opposite Red Army to cross the border, and instantly leaked a five-kilometer-wide defense line from Huainan to Tongcheng. Big mouth.

That night, the nearly [-] Red Army led by Peng Shichuan, who was the main attack direction, swarmed in through this big breach without firing a single shot, and then interspersed in various ways.

The Hefei front garrisoned by the 74th Army collapsed overnight.The 138th brigade of Wang Yaowu and his fellow division, which existed as his allies, were wrapped in a big dumpling by the influx of the Red Army on the second day.At noon on March 138, the entire army of the [-]th Brigade was wiped out, and the commander and division commander Zhang Zhizhong was captured.

The front line was in chaos, and Chang Kaishen hadn't realized that Guo Rugui was a communist party, and the battlefield turned against him, leading to the collapse of the whole situation.In Nanjing, he micro-manipulated one telegram after another, forcing the 51th Army to send the main force to the south to fill the gap and cooperate with the trapped [-]st Division to break through.At the same time, the [-]st Army in Tongcheng and the [-]th Army in Anqing were also ordered to go north to support.

But during this period, Peng Shichuan was not the only one in the onslaught of the Red Army.

In the nearly three months of the past winter break, the Red Army has put most of its mobile troops on the Anhui line. The plan is to fight a "blitzkrieg" and end the battle within ten days. There are a total of more than 40 troops into the battlefield.

When the besieged Wang Yaowu was hit by bullets raining down on his head, Chen Cheng's troops on the Huainan defense line on the northern line also immediately found a large group of communist troops behind him, and it was suspected that the way back was cut off.

Although the president ordered him to move closer to Wang Yaowu telegram after telegram, he himself was facing fierce attacks from the Red Army from all directions.The plane bombed in the sky, and the tank rushed on the ground.Their own air force became the opponent's air force. When the P[-] fighter jets painted with the blue sky and white sun logo dropped bombs and strafed the [-]th Army's positions, the mentality of Chen Cheng and his generals and soldiers completely collapsed.

Just like what happened on the Shanxi battlefield, starting from March 6, the entire [-]th Army's three divisions plus several supplementary brigades, more than [-] troops, left the position that had been built for several months, and headed southeast in a panic. direction to retreat.But within a few steps, he was blocked and intercepted by the interspersed troops led by Peng Shichuan and Luo Binghui, who entered through the gap leaked by Guo Rugui.

More than 11 members of the [-]th Army were surrounded by more than [-] Red Army regiments in Fengyang, forming the second "big dumpling".

The commander of the [-]st Army stationed in the direction of Tongcheng, Wang Jingjiu, is an "obedient" honest man. He learned that the Hefei line of defense was easily breached by the Red Army, and was ordered to rush to rescue the besieged [-]th Army. The big pit dug by the No. [-] Communist spy was also tightly surrounded, and the sky was bombed by planes, and the ground was bombarded by cannons...

Among Chang Kaishen's five main forces in Anhui, the only one who jumped out of this big pit was Tang Enbo, the 13th Army stationed in Anqing. He was located in the southernmost direction, close to the Yangtze River, and he was far away from the main force of the Red Army. in the direction of the general attack.And he, who regards the Yangtze River as his greatest escape route, even though Chang Kaishen telegraphed him to go north for rescue.He waited and watched for a long time, and when he couldn't bear it anymore, he sent a garbage replenishment brigade to advance at a "turtle pace" speed. After temporarily filling the gap in the defense line left by the 71st Army going north, he refused to move anything.

On March [-]th, Tang Enbo, after seeing clearly that the war situation in Anhui had collapsed and was irreversible, ordered the entire army to retreat desperately.The troops under his command either fled directly across the south of the Yangtze River, or fled down the Yangtze River.By March [-], more than two-thirds of the main force of the Thirteenth Army managed to escape the pursuit of the Red Army and fled to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

It's just that in the process, all the heavy weapons belonging to his subordinates were lost, and the more than ten tanks assigned to him broke down in the middle of the escape again - the reason was the same as in Shanxi, and some people were very wicked. Brown sugar oozes in gasoline...

PS: I updated [-] words today, and I still have a lot to make up for what I owed yesterday. You can have the audacity to ask for a monthly ticket.

PS: The new group number is 545765452, the second group and the third group are finished, group friends can join this group

Chang Kaishen deployed the four major armies in Anhui, and Chen Cheng's No.18 Army had the largest number of troops, but the newly formed No. 74 Army was the most highly rated by the German instructors around him.
