Seeing that Zhang Lingfu, who was nominated by Chen Shi, was recognized by Principal Chang, the corners of He Yingpei's mouth suddenly hooked slightly.

At that moment, He Yingpei said: "Principal, in this Xiaogan siege and annihilation battle, the troops of the Fifth Theater are the main forces participating in the battle, so Sun Lianzhong, commander-in-chief of the Third Corps, and Li Pinxian, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Corps, should also serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the former enemy!" ”

Hearing He Yingpei's words, Principal Chang's face immediately fell, as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Originally, the Japanese faction headed by He Yingpei, like the Baoding department with deep roots, belonged to the faction that President Chang focused on eliminating from the army, so according to President Chang's consistent principle of employing people, the candidates recommended by He Yingpei were not used, but Sun Lianzhong and Li Pinxian could not be used.

Needless to say, Sun Lianzhong was not only a great hero in the Battle of Taierzhuang, but also a famous general in the Northwest Army, and he must be reused no matter from the actual situation or out of the wooing of various departments of the Northwest Army, so it is logical for Sun Lianzhong to serve as the former deputy commander-in-chief of the enemy in the Xiaogan Encirclement and Annihilation Battle.

There is no problem in appointing Li Pinxian as the deputy commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

Principal Chang has already suppressed Bai Chongbei, the Gui boss, from taking the lead, if Li Pinxian, the backbone of the Gui family, is not allowed to enter the former enemy headquarters, then the Gui troops in the five theaters will definitely have to pick and choose!

You can't benefit from all the benefits of your principal Chang's central army, but we haven't gained any benefits, right?

In any case, half of the troops participating in the Xiaogan Siege and Annihilation Battle this time are our Gui troops, right?

But the problem is that it is not appropriate for He Yingpei to put forward this proposal, if he agrees, Sun Lianzhong and Li Pinxian will not read him as good as Principal Chang, but will only read He Yingpei's recommendation!

Principal Chang was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a major staff officer hurriedly walked in and reported loudly to Liu Sheng: "Director, the Fifth War Zone Commander's Department is in an emergency!" ”

"The Commander's Department of the Fifth Theater?" Liu Sheng glanced at Principal Chang and said loudly, "Read!" ”

"Yes!" The major staff officer responded, opened the folder and then unfolded the telegram, "The Operations Department of the Headquarters, although the Second Army of the Japanese Army has retreated to Xiaogan, there are still nearly 100,000 people, and the 15th Division is moving south from Zhengzhou day and night. ”

Speaking of this, there was a pause, and the major staff officer continued: "I think that there is no need to set up a former enemy command for the battle of Xiaogan, Feng Yuxiang is a veteran of the party-state, enough to support the public, Zhong Yi is an immortal talent of the party-state, and he is qualified to be the commander of the front line of Xiaogan!" The Fifth War Zone Governor's Department, Bai Chongbei, September 1, 27 years of the Republic of China. ”

As soon as the major staff officer finished reading, the eyes of everyone present turned to Principal Chang.

Okay, their headquarters has just set up a stool here, ready to sit in a row and divide the fruits, but Bai Chongbei immediately came to you with such a play, this is a big deal!

Bai Chongbei is not an ordinary person!

Bai Chongbei is now not only the acting commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, but also the No. 2 person in the Gui family, with more than 200,000 elites in the Gui family!

What's even worse is that this Xiaogan siege and annihilation battle, if Bai Chongbei did not fully cooperate, it would never work!

In case Principal Chang rejects Bai Chongbei's suggestion, in case Bai Chongbei makes a fuss because of this, and at the critical moment of Xiaogan's encirclement and annihilation battle, he gets out of the way and lets the Japanese 15th Division move south along the Pinghan Line, then Xiaogan will still fart!

Bai Chongbei doesn't have to really let it go, as long as he instructs the troops of the Gui family not to work hard!

Therefore, Bai Chongbei's proposal must be considered, and it must be seriously considered!

……

Almost at the same time, in the headquarters of the fifth theater of operations in Tongbai County.

Liao Lei, commander-in-chief of the 21st Group Army, was walking with Bai Chongbei in the shade of a tree.

Liao Lei said indignantly as he walked: "Gong Jian, Lao Jiang asked Xue Yue to only take the 74th Army and the 29th Army to participate in the Xiaogan Encirclement and Annihilation Battle, but let our 21st Group Army block the Japanese army moving south, which is not good!" ”

After a pause, Liao Lei said again: "If I guessed correctly, in the early stage of the battle of Xiaogan, it must be Sun Lianzhong's Third Corps and Hegong (Li Pinxian)'s Fourth Corps to take the lead, and when the Third Corps and the Fourth Corps consume the combat power of the Second Army of Dongjiu Palace, Xue Yue will definitely jump out and pick peaches!" ”

Bai Chongbei smiled coldly and said, "You're right, there's no doubt about it!" ”

"Lao Jiang still played the same way when he encircled and suppressed the Red Army, using his strength to exclude dissidents!" Liao Lei said, "Our Gui Jun can't just be cannon fodder for him!" ”

Bai Chongbei said: "Therefore, I will propose that the Xiaogan former enemy command will not be set up separately, and the Xiaogan siege and annihilation battle will be directly commanded by the Wuhan Garrison Command, and Zhong Yi will command it!" ”

After a slight pause, Bai Chongbei said again: "This is also what Degong meant. ”

"What does Degong mean?" Liao Lei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly said, "Gao, Duke De's hand is really clever at fishing for big fish with a long line, which not only disrupted Lao Jiang's plan, but also won over Zhong Yi!" Zhong Yi is a terrible person, in time, he will definitely become a big man in the army, and our Gui family should indeed befriend him as soon as possible! ”

Speaking of this, Liao Lei said again: "However, will Lao Jiang listen?" ”

Bai Chongbei smiled: "What do you think?" ”

……

Hankou, Dragon King Temple.

"Ah......" After sleeping for a full 30 hours, Zhong Yi finally woke up from a deep sleep, and then got up and stretched out for a long time, this feeling is so fucking cool!

Hearing the movement, Zhu Liangcheng, Guo Qi and Shen Xian, who were sitting in a pile, turned their heads to look over.

"Ziren, are you awake?" Zhu Liangcheng raised the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile, "Come over and eat." ”

Zhong Yi was not hypocritical, and immediately came over and sat down on the vacant seat, Shen Xian at the top handed over a pair of chopsticks, and Guo Qi at the bottom made a bowl of rice for Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi took the dishes and chopsticks and immediately began to eat.

After eating two large bowls in a row, Zhong Yi's speed began to return to normal.

While eating rice, Zhong Yi asked again, "What's the situation now?" ”

Zhu Liangcheng replied: "The Second Army of the East Jiu Gong Tsuyan has retreated to Xiaogan, and the two armies of the Second Army, the two armies of the Eleventh Group Army, and the two armies of the First Corps have completed the encirclement of Xiaogan!" As long as there is no accident, the old devil of Higashikurenomiya Twisthiko is already difficult to fly with wings! ”

"It's not slow." Zhong Yi said again, "Has the former enemy command also been formed?" ”

"Well." Zhu Liangcheng shook his head and said, "Not yet, at least the command department has not followed." ”

"No, it won't." Zhong Yi said, "The six armies of the Fifth Theater and the Ninth Theater have all formed a four-sided encirclement of Xiaogan, and the former enemy headquarters of the Xiaogan Encirclement and Annihilation War has not yet been formed?" ”
