Chapter 280 Final Battle Plan

Chiang Kai-shek's confidant's big trouble is also his own confidant's big trouble. This is probably unexpected by Zhang Xuewu. He must first settle down first. This Annei also has his own share!

Chiang Kai-shek's murder has always been a soft knife without blood. With the help of Zhang Xuewu, he attracted the attention of the Japanese army and consumed the living power of the Japanese army, so that the government could win the key time to consolidate the equipment and fight again. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek gave Zhang Xuewu the opportunity to honor and expand his strength. It's better to release what could not be controlled. Let it develop on its own. The stronger the tenth war zone, the more I regard it as a thorn in my side, and it must be completely eliminated.

Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek also occupies the general idea of the government to lead the resistance. If Zhang Xuewu does not obey the strategic arrangement of the government, it is a deliberate intentional preservation of strength. Public opinion can praise you, Zhang Xuewu to heaven, and can also send you to hell. At that time, see how many of Zhang Xuewu's subordinates are still loyal to you?

There are many ways to deal with Zhang Xuewu and Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek does not want to give outsiders a feeling of being too anxious, and the biggest taboo of being in high-level decision makers is the appearance of the ending of cunning rabbits and dead trunken cooking. Being a person is like starting a thing. It is always right to be kind to be kind to your own people and balance your own camp. The interests between the internal factions make there a slight gap between them, and deal with the hostile people by means of thunder. This is the superior!

Chiang Kai-shek finally pointed his finger to Xuzhou and knocked hard: "We lost a lot of the two major battles of Shanghai and Nanjing some time ago. The elite units of the Central Army are almost three. Now it is said that my Prince Zairen is negotiating with us in Shanghai. In fact, I am messing around. Xuzhou is a place where soldiers have been fighting since ancient times, and there is no possibility of giving up. Li Delin responded to the enemy in the fifth war zone of a group of miscellaneous cards. In the face of the north-south attack, the Japanese army has little chance of winning. Let's see if there is any way to delay my attack, scattered and favorablely contain my troops?

Chiang Kai-shek's words made Li Zongren, Gu Zhutong, Chen Cheng and others present stunned. Obviously, Chiang Kai-shek's words mean something. The people present were all professional soldiers. Except for the Rehe, which had just been marked in the tenth war zone, there were only those left in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain in the northwest of Jin. The main force is the main force, but compared with the troops in the tenth war zone, the combat effectiveness of nearly 300,000 troops in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain is probably not as good as that of the two armies in the tenth war zone.

And it is very strange that although Shanxi is included in the tenth war zone, the commander-in-chief of the second war zone has not been abolished? Yan Xishan is still the commander-in-chief of the Second Theater Command, and the Central Army and the Jin Army in Zhongtiao Mountain are not under the command of the 10th Theater?

Does this have a clear conflict with the provisions of the division of military and political departments into military orders? Therefore, everyone understands the so-called situation of Zhang Xuewu's tenth war zone.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Whoever opens his mouth first is in line with Chiang Kai-shek's wishes, but it offends Zhang Xuewu, which is equivalent to digging a pit for Zhang Xuewu. Digging a hole for others is obviously a very hateful thing! Moreover, Zhang Xuewu's power is greatly increased at this moment. The soldiers in the tenth war zone are strong, and the whole system number of the youth army has been given to the tenth war zone. The intention of the Supreme Military Commission is very obvious. You can build as many troops as you can support in the tenth war zone. Except for the Tiger Division and the Honorary Division, the rest The funds of each division are only half of the normal, and their treatment is similar to that of the 18th Army and the Fourth Route Army.

The identity of the Central Army and the treatment of the miscellaneous army are not as good as the soldiers. This is the real situation of the troops in the tenth war zone, but everyone knows that there is a secret consortium behind Zhang Xuewu, who has made a huge investment in the United States and constantly carried out blood transfusion to Rehe, otherwise Relying on Zhang Xuewu's sale of opium and its derivatives alone, it is impossible to maintain such a huge army consumption. In addition, with several huge loans and arms purchases provided by the Soviet Union, Zhang Xuewu can be called a strong soldier!

Therefore, at this time, Li Zongren and Gu Zhutong, He Yingqin and others are all thinking. Li Zongren and He Yingqin will not share this worry for Lao Jiang. Gu Zhutong is pretending to be stupid. Hu Zongnan and Tang Enbo and others are not at enough level to talk nonsense, and only Chen Cheng is the only one who speaks enough!

Chen Cheng looked at Gu Zhutong helplessly. Chairman Jiang's field must be supported by someone, otherwise the old man's temper will be thunderous and anger. Maybe the ground fish is small, which makes the old man think that he is not loyal to him and unwilling to relieve his worries for him is a big trouble.

Chen Cheng hesitated and said to Chiang Kai-shek, "Chairman! The humble position believes that the current strategic deployment and intention of the Japanese army are actually the heart of Sima Zhao, which is known to everyone. He said that I am forcing us to turn the tables, so that the nine-nation Convention Organization thinks that we will destroy the process and rekindle the war! In fact, the intention of my recent military adjustment and deployment is to carry out a large-scale strategic decisive battle with our army in Xuzhou, completely open up the Longhai line, let the main force of the Japanese army in North China join forces with the main force of the Japanese army in China, and blindly send more troops to Xuzhou for passive defense, which is very unfavorable to our army. The only way for us now is to wait. He said that he tore his face in Shanghai, and then attacked the front line of Shanhaiguan with the main force of the 10th war zone, recovered Jinzhou, cut off the contact between the Kwantung Army and the North China Army, and strategically divided the main force of the Japanese army.

"Very good! The idea of rhetoric is very good!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction, but Chen Cheng also complained in his heart. This message came to Zhang Xuewu's ears and was afraid that Zhang Xuewu would be offended.

Chen Cheng is also a figure who has been honored and disgraced. Because Chiang Kai-shek has always been favored by him, no matter how much Chen Cheng's defeat he suffered, he could not shake his position at all. The 18th Army under his command was organized from the Second Division into the Fifth Division. Even if he suffered a great loss in the suppression of the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet District, he was defeated by He Yingqin and Gu Zhu. Tong, Xiong Shihui and other people rose up and attacked, and Chiang Kai-shek resolutely reorganized the 18th Army into the Eighth Division of the Second Army.

Li Zongren can see clearly that Chen Cheng is Lao Jiang's confidant. Li Zongren is not convenient to comment too much on Chen Cheng's so-called military talent. There are too many factors that determine the victory or defeat of a battle. Many things are not natural to win the battle with more soldiers and good weapons. Who has ever defeated the war? As long as there is no failure to make a comeback, it is not a complete failure.

Li Zongren appreciates what Chen Cheng once said that he would die without fighting, and he would survive! He also proposed a strategy to contain the main force of the Japanese army, so that the enemy should go from east to west, and not from north to south. It can be seen that Chen Cheng is not useless in strategy, and his focus is very insightful.

Chiang Kai-shek seemed to meditate for a moment: "Order the fifth war zone to strengthen the preparation, take the Tang Enbo Army and the Hu Zongnan Army as the mobile corps, and transfer the Fifth Army, the 36th Army, the 74th Army, the 83rd Army, the 87th Army, the 88th Army and the 98th Army. The 100th Army forms a north-south guerrilla group. , under the jurisdiction of the fifth war zone, containing the main forces of the army in North China and North China. The headquarters of the second war zone took an active offensive position against the army in North China. The second and fifth brigades of the artillery directly under the Military Commission, and the seventh and eighth brigades went to the fifth war zone. The troops of the fifth war zone defended Xuzhou at the same cost, and wanted to make the Xuzhou battalion into a second one. Chengde, the second Nanjing!"

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek's words came out, Li Zongren felt relieved. The Tang Enbo Army and the Hu Zongnan Army were all composed of three A-class armies. The eight elite Soviet Ordnance Army on the north and south lines were the absolute direct line of the Central Army, and the four artillery brigades added a lot of trust to Li Zongren. Heart, especially the newly formed 7th and 8th Heavy Artillery Brigades, are all 150mm large-caliber field howitzers and 105mm howitzers, which were the two brigades deployed in Jiangbei by the Rehe Army at that time.

Zhang Xuewu left all the equipment to Hu Zongnan, and all the artillery was withdrawn to Suiyuan through the northwest of Jin. If the Supreme Military Commission got the treasure, Hu Zongnan picked up three 105mm howitzers at a cheap price, and his strength was also increasing geometrically. With reinforcements and heavy artillery, Li Zongren couldn't help but have some illusions. The support of the air force came. Li Zongren knew that all the flight troops of the Kwantung Army were all suppressed by Zhang Xuewu's air force in the so-called pseudo-Beijing front line in Changchun. He said that my military factories in the northeast were basically paralyzed and stopped production. However, the Rehe Army had lost a lot of fighters when supporting Nanjing before. In order to defend his military base in Baotou, Zhang Xuewu may not be willing to send the air force to Xuzhou to help the war.

Chiang Kai-shek started with power. Although Li Zongren remained calm, Chiang Kai-shek had grasped Li Zongren's pulse. The so-called reinforcements he gave to Li Zongren is still a paper plan. I'm afraid no one will know how much of the battle plan on the map can be reflected in reality. Chiang Kai-shek believes that Li Zong Ren was also very clear about this, so he continued to say, "If the Shanghai negotiations break down, it is planned to send no less than eight integrated divisions in the tenth war zone to attack Shanhaiguan and Pingjin, completely cut off the contact between the North China Front and the Kwantung Army, and effectively contain the mobile war of the North China Front. Force, so that the fifth war zone can concentrate the main force to defend Xuzhou at the same time, surround the main force of the Japanese army from the outside line and carry out a decisive battle!"

Chiang Kai-shek's decisive battle plan amazed everyone present. Can such a large decisive battle plan be deployed in a hurry? How many of the relevant troops in the campaign have completed the supplementary reorganization and went to the scheduled attack area? If the troops of the 10th war zone attack, they will be besieged by both the Japanese Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army. If the attack is blocked, the attack and defense of the whole 10th war zone will be reversed.
