Zhang Xueliang nodded sadly, and said to Yan Xishan: "Yes, we are still not stable in the political situation, and the people's hearts outside are even more unstable, and we can't fight to the death with the Red Army when we can use a large number of troops with confidence." I agree with your approach, that is, to publicly call on the communists and bandits again for peace talks, and ask them to send people to Nanjing immediately to negotiate relations and status between the two sides, and we can give them more positions and more powers. They can even temporarily give them Sichuan, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi, and they can appoint their own people to be the provincial chiefs in these five provinces, and they can keep the establishment of the five armies. ”

Feng Yuxiang's eyes bulged, and he said angrily: "This is too conniving for them, right? How many provinces do they get to, and we give them a few provinces, so how can they come and negotiate? In their opinion, attacking a few provinces, or seeing that we dare not use all our strength and desperately fight a few more provinces, then we have to hand over the other provinces to them as well? Five armies, how many troops we have, the number of their troops must be controlled within a maximum of one-tenth of the number of our troops, and the number of provinces under control cannot exceed two. Hmph, now we will give them Sichuan and Guizhou, then we will work hard to beat Jiang someone! ”

Yan Xishan looked at Feng Yuxiang and said helplessly: "Brother, it's not that we are willing to give it to them, it's that they are too powerful." Instead of being chased away by them, it is better to give more at once. In addition to calling on them to come to negotiate, we should also act like we are going to fight them. Aren't they going to attack our 57th Army in Xinyang now? Then we will warn them that if they fire another shot at our 57th Army, all our troops will attack them, and we will break the net with them! ”

Zhang Xueliang said with a bitter face: "This is also too exciting, right?" Our troops have not yet completely taken over the southern areas, and even if they are just making a show, we will have to go to great lengths, and those troops that are taking over the south will have to return and regroup, otherwise the communists and bandits are not fools and will not be fooled at all. ”

Yan Xishan spread his hands and said, "If we don't act like this, the communists and bandits won't be afraid, and they won't believe that we really want to fight to the death with them." Today, the Jiangxi army rushed up to kill for a few days, tomorrow the Gui army rushed up to kill a few days, and in a few days the Hunan army rushed up to kill, and when these troops failed, they forced the Guizhou army and the Sichuan army to go up and fight hard, and as a result, the troops suffered huge losses, but the results were few, and even the central army was killed by the Red Army. In my opinion, we must either not move, or if we want to move, we must go all out, we must fight the Communists and bandits breathlessly, we must beat the Communists and bandits to death in one fell swoop, and we must not drive the Red Army to the mountains and rivers like Jiang someone. ”

Feng Yuxiang also said approvingly: "Yes, brother, you have the right idea, this is the best way." I'll just give it a go, don't shout with a bluff, just fight! Then all the troops will be brought up and fight to the death with the communists and bandits, and whoever wins will sit in the world, and whoever loses will have his head cut off. Our Northwest Army is not a vegetarian either, and the big blade wheel is slippery. ”

Yan Xishan was a little reluctant to hear Feng Yuxiang say this, and said hesitantly: "We are fighting to the death with the communists and bandits, and both sides will definitely lose both. When the time comes, we'll have to go back in disgrace. If so, it's better not to come out. How good is it to nest in the northwest, now that our butts are not hot, if we are driven away, people will not laugh off their big teeth? ”

Zhang Xueliang denied worriedly: "In addition to Jiang Jiaoshi's staring, there are also Japanese devils in the north, really want our Central Plains to be beaten into a pot of porridge, really want our army to be disabled, and those bastard dwarves don't go straight in?" Our China has been swallowed up by them, and we are all slaves of the country. ”

Feng Yuxiang touched his bald head and said embarrassedly: "yes, this is another trouble." The little devils have been entrenched in the Northeast for four or five years, and they have basically digested the Northeast, and it has become their forward base. Seeing that there is an opportunity, they don't take advantage of the situation, and in that case, our China will really be annexed by them. How can this be done? ”

Yan Xishan rolled his eyes a few times and said, "Then let the newspaper say that if they continue to attack us and do not negotiate with us, it will be the relatives and the enemies will be happy, and that will be to help the Japanese." Moreover, we still have to concentrate all our forces, and we must do our best to force the Communists to agree to our terms. Japan is coming, we can still survive, and when the communists and bandits come, we have only a dead end. ”

Feng Yuxiang said angrily: "The Japanese devils are coming, how can they have a way to live, unless they surrender." You don't want to surrender to the Japanese devils, do you? ”

Yan Xishan said: "Isn't this talking? My opinion is still to concentrate all the troops, fight to the death against the communists and bandits, and destroy the communists and bandits before Jiang Jiashi recovers, and talk about other things later. ”

Feng Yuxiang said sullenly: "Anyway, I won't surrender to the Japanese dwarf, if you really want to surrender, don't pull me, I'll take my Northwest Army to fight with the Eight Great Kings of the East." ”

Zhang Xueliang also said: "If I wanted to surrender to the Japanese devils, I would have surrendered a long time ago, so do you have to wait until now?" Those bastards aren't human at all, and I'm not going to surrender to them. ”

Yan Xishan waved his hand and said, "Look at it, look at it, now we are discussing how to protect the 57th Group Army if we attack the communists and bandits, not in the future." In the future, I will talk about it later, and I can sing a song on which mountain I go, so I don't have to worry about it now. ”

……

The headquarters of the Second Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

Mr. Peng pinched the telegram taken by Guo Zhuocheng and said happily: "Guo Zhuocheng is really extraordinary, he took the north gate so quickly." As he spoke, he handed the telegram to one of the generals beside him, and said, "They have closed a door for me, and now the south door is up to us." We've been resting for so long, we're full of food and drink, shouldn't we show a little bit of ability? It's not that our combat effectiveness is worse than before. ”

Several generals around the sand table said in unison: "Fight the majesty of our Second Army and destroy the 57th Army!" ”

Mr. Peng said with a cold face: "Don't give me this kind of vain thing, I don't want this formality, I want you to resolutely, simply, and thoroughly realize our strategic intentions!" ”

"Yes!" Several generals still said in unison.

It can be said that this is the first major battle since the Second Army joined the army, although there are now many officers studying in the newly established military academy in Chongqing, but most of the officers are there, and the frame is still solid.

Besides, General Lin's First Army is now doing a good job in Hu-Nan, and Yue-Yang and Chang-De are all taken lightly, and if the Second Army does not fight this battle, General Peng will definitely lose face. His gaze fell on Dongshuanghe Town, south of Xinyang City.

If Gan'an Town is the north gate of Xinyang City, then Dongshuanghe Town is the south gate of Xinyang City.

As soon as the battle for Gan'an Town of the Third Army stopped, the battle for Dongshuanghe Town of the Second Army had already begun.

This time, the troops under the command of General Peng did not have too many politeness, that is, they used artillery to open the way, and the infantry followed. In one word, that is: kill!

Because Dongshuanghe Town is the hinterland of the Northeast Army, that is, the rear of the Northeast Army, the Northeast Army did not build too many fortifications here, nor did it make too many preparations. It was only in the past two days that a regiment was sent to build fortifications in a hurry. In fact, the Northeast Army did not pay attention to the defense of this town from top to bottom, and in their opinion, if this town was attacked by communists and bandits, then Xinyang would definitely not be protected, and it could even be said that Xinyang was occupied by communists and bandits.

All people with a little military common sense know that the communists and bandits will not be so stupid and will not go deep into such a deep place, and you must know that Dongshuanghe Town has a natural barrier -- Nanwan Lake, this lake is large, and Dongshuanghe Town is firmly encircled in its arms, if the communists and bandits really come by a detour, they will inevitably be besieged from three sides, and there is Nanwan Lake in the west, which is a completely dead end.

However, Mr. Peng didn't do this, his calculation was to eat all the 57th Group Army of the Northeast Army, and Dongshuanghe Town was to cut the throat of the 57th Group Army, no matter how dangerous it was, he had to kill it.

The battle began at nine a.m. the next day.

This is the time when the soldiers of the Northeast Army are preparing to do things after breakfast, which is obviously not a good time for the attackers, according to the general people's thinking, the attack is either carried out in the early morning, the defenders are sleeping or the most sleepy, or when the opponent is about to eat or is eating, it can catch the opponent off guard. Now that the other side has finished eating, it is the time to prepare, and this time to attack, but the time when the defenders are at their most combative.

What's more, not only are the defenders of Dongshuanghe Town at their most energetic, but the defenders in Xinyang City, as well as the Northeast Army outside Dongshuanghe Town, are also the most prepared, once the battle starts at this time, the Northeast Army can be pressed from the north, south, and east, and the west is a vast lake. Mr. Peng's second army was very difficult to attack or defend again, and besides, the shooting accuracy of the defenders was also the highest when it was dark, and the attacking side was completely the target of the defenders.

However, Mr. Peng, who likes to gnaw hard bones, launched an attack at this time.

There is no excessive common sense in military affairs, and a person who fights a war completely according to the textbook cannot become an outstanding general at all.
