Chapter 643: The current situation!

On July 4, a total of more than 100,000 people from Xuzhou to Shandong, through Zaozhuang, Tengzhou, Zoucheng and Qufu, they were on the front line of Jining, and confronted Shi Yousan's army. The other one continued to go north after entering Qufu, through Tai'an, on the front line of Jinan and Dezhou, and confronted the department under the jurisdiction of Yan Xishan.

In this way, in addition to most of Jining, all of Heze and Liaocheng occupied by the crusade, Shandong is still controlled by Zhang Zongchang and Chen Tiaoyuan's army.

However, both sides are now holding restraint. Although there are occasional minor frictions, they have not carried out large-scale operations.

After Yan Xishan and Du Haisheng talked on the phone, although they were unhappy, they did not say much because of Du Haisheng's face. Moreover, the arms and weapons provided to him by Du Haisheng were also shipped to Shanxi a few days ago. In recent days, they have been equipped into his direct troops one after another, and their combat effectiveness has also increased, and It makes him more or less depressed and in a good mood.

Sun Dianfang was not so lucky. The attack in the Anhui section of Longhai was not smooth. When she encountered tenacious resistance, she is now even more defeated, and there is a great possibility of being trapped in Anhui.

However, the land of Anhui is far away from the second and third armies under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion. Even if Du Haisheng has the intention to help, he can't go forward due to the previous remarks. Fortunately, Sun Dianfang's troops retreated to the city of Haozhou, and Haozhou is in the triangle of the Longhai and Jinpu railways, which is very great for Nanjing. The threat and strategic position are extremely important. In order to open up this channel, Jiang Zhongzheng sent Ye Kaixin and Wang Jun's troops to capture Haozhou within a time limit. Although he launched several large-scale sieges, unfortunately they have not been able to win. If the front-line battle in Shandong falls into a passive situation again. Then the initial achievements and advantages of the crusade will be reversed.

Now, Sun Diang can rely on the solid city of Haozhou City to choose to stick to it, but once Jiang Zhongzheng pulls out his hand and the plane cannons are put on together, then even the solid Haozhou can't stop such a fierce attack. It will fall sooner or later. Once Haozhou falls, it also means that the whole An The Hui battlefield will be completely defeated.

Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang and others naturally thought of this, and Sun Dianfang was not clear in her heart, but the current situation is so subtle that even he feels powerless.

Moreover, Yan Xishan also has a big difference in dealing with his direct troops and Feng Yuxiang's troops. His troops are sent monthly, while Feng Yuxiang's troops are not only charged, but also weapons and ammunition are not replenished in time. His troops eat cans, and Feng Yuxiang's troops sometimes can't even guarantee that they can eat pickles. Arrived. Zheng Dazhang's cavalry army didn't even have a intact radio station.

This also affects the cooperation of each other's brotherly troops to a certain extent.

Du Haisheng had learned about these things a few days ago. The intelligence personnel placed by the Shadow Intelligence Department in various parts of China played a huge role at this time. All kinds of information were transmitted back to the Shadow Headquarters in Shanghai from all over the country as if you were chasing me, and Duan Tianhu fed back this information to him in order to Get the next step.

In order to cope with the accident, Du Haisheng even set up another department, the Intelligence Staff Headquarters, after the Shadow Intelligence Office and the Dragon War Assassination Brigade.

And this intelligence staff headquarters is located in Shanghai, not far from the headquarters of Shadow and Dragon War. The personnel of the staff headquarters are all drawn by Du Haisheng from the 19th Army. Many of them were responsible for the designation of commanding operations and other staff matters in the army before. Du Haisheng also instructed Du Tianhu to send a copy to the staff headquarters.

After all, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a person. After the establishment of the staff headquarters, he can think widely and concentrate everyone's command and opinions. In this way, it can also avoid major mistakes caused by his poor consideration in some matters. Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters also has a rule that any combat plan that is not approved by the General Staff Headquarters, the 19th Army under Du Haisheng's jurisdiction has no right to carry out foreign operations.

Du Haisheng knows everything about the current situation of the Central Plains Congress. A few days ago, he made it clear to Yan Xishan that he would take action the next day. However, in the chat with Zhang Zihan that night, he had a whim, so he chose to postpone the opportunity to deal with Lao Jiang and Zhang Zongchang, and telegraphed again. Telegram to Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang, keep restraint and wait to act at the same time with him.

At the same time, although Du Haisheng's first army was still 50,000 on the surface, Du Haisheng still secretly expanded it to reach the scale of 55,000 people, and in order to make up for the shortage of 5,000 special brigade members who were drawn out, so even if Wu Peifu and others knew it, there was no objection. When the 18th Army was split, Du Haisheng lost more than 10,000 members of the special combat brigade to him. There was no special combat team member in his army. It can be said that in terms of individual combat ability and small-scale combat ability, Sun Chuanfang's troops were much higher than the other five armies. Everyone knows the benefits of the special forces brigade. They can't each of them. Even the newly adapted Fifth Army and the Sixth Army have begun to select members to set up the Special Forces Brigade. As the First Army, there is no elite who is regarded as a fist.

It's reasonable, and naturally it doesn't make sense.

After lunch, Du Haisheng is resting at home. Recently, Fu Hong's stomach has become more and more obvious, and Du Haisheng has also spared more energy to accompany her. And Liu Xue stayed in the house when she had nothing to do, and even took the initiative to take on the diet of Du Haisheng and the three girls. However, this girl was really good at cooking. Even Du Haisheng, who was extremely tricky about the food, nodded and praised her.

It's just that the girl is with him and Fu Hong all the time. The two of them don't even have a chance to whisper and make out with each other, which makes him very unhappy, so that she is monitored everywhere like the prisoner.

Duan Tianhu, Zhang Xun and Zhang Zihan arrived. Fu Hong knew that they had something important to discuss, so she turned around and left. Liu Xue looked extremely reluctant, but there was no other way. She had to stare at the three people and left.

"What's the recent trend of Lao Jiang's army?"

This sentence was obviously to ask Duan Tianhu. Duan Tianhu said without thinking: "After Chen Tianyuan entered Shandong, he only took the posture of assisting in defense. Yan Xishan and Shi You still maintained restraint. At this time, the three armies were in a state of confrontation on the front line of Jining, Jinan and Zaozhuang, Shandong Province, and they were originally responsible for the police of Xuzhou City. Liu Zhi's department also left Xuzhou three days ago, passed through Jiangsu and Anhui, and advanced towards the front line of Shangqiu and Kaifeng in Henan. However, they were fiercely blocked by the crusade army on the way, and the speed of advance was slow. It is estimated that it will take at least half a month to enter the front line of Xuchang, Xinzheng and Zhengzhou.

Du Haisheng nodded, smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Yan Xishan is scolding me now. However, as long as Henan, Anhui and Shandong are in a state of anxiety, this battle of the Central Plains Congress will not end in a short time. However, Yan Laoxi is also really stingy. Well, the soldiers of his army eat delicious and drink spicy food, and Feng Yuxiang's department can't even eat pickles, and Zheng Dazhang's cavalry army. It is estimated that even the eight generations of ancestors of Yan Xishan are now scolding and bleeding.

Duan Tianhu also smiled and said, "Who let Yan Xishan be a stingy? The cavalry army under Zheng Dazhang went deep into the rear of Jiang Zhongzheng's army and won several big victories. But even so, the supply has never been guaranteed, and there is not even the most basic radio station. You are generous. Let Shadow's intelligence personnel sent them one. Otherwise, they were afraid that this cavalry army would be swallowed alive by Lao Jiang's troops, and they would not have any news. It is estimated that they would still happily wait for Zheng Dazhang to win several more battles at home.

Du Haisheng shook his head and said, "The army has no military pay, no money to eat, and there is an increasingly shortage of weapons and ammunition. Under such conditions, how can Zheng Dazhang win the war? I'm afraid it won't last long. The allied forces of the three parties have ghosts with each other, intrigues, fight, and don't work hard. Even if they don't even exert their strength, supplies, There is no communication equipment. What should I do?

"Yes." As a former soldier, Zhang Xun also nodded with a deep feeling and echoed, "The generals of the three armies are not convinced of each other and fight with each other secretly. No one wants their own troops to take the lead. They are afraid of losing the battle, suffer heavy casualties, and reduce their own power. How to fight this battle? It's not easy to fight, compared with Jiang. People still lack some heat, and their vision is too narrow.

"So, let's also come out for activities and let them see what real invincible is."

Du Haisheng smiled and said mysteriously.
