Chapter 1046 Gains and Losses

readx;

Lane Kai-shek rate well lecture in his own office. After An Yi silently followed into the room www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", Chiang Kai-shek did not tell An Yi to sit down, but picked up a map from the small low table near the table and put it on the wide desk, and asked while opening it:

"Do you think Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng will temporarily put aside their differences this time and follow the orders of the central government to take into account the overall situation?"

An Yi was embarrassed: "It's really hard to say about this, if Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng had taken the overall situation into account at the beginning, Xiao Ke's department would not have captured Yandong Resources County in northern Guizhou so easily, and the two divisions of the Gui Department hurriedly came." Only then did he cross the water and turn north, and took the 19th Division of General Li Jue of the Hunan Army by surprise.

General Bai Jiansheng also hurriedly flew back to Guilin from Guangzhou to command the siege after seeing that Guibei was in an emergency, and judging from the current troop deployment of the Gui army. At a glance, it can be seen that they are putting on a posture of strict defense and stubborn defense, and the strength of the follow-up pursuit is only one brigade, and the meaning is obvious, that is, to squeeze the Red Army out of Guibei and let the Red Army fight to the death with the Hunan army. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded frequently: "Nabei, do you think the recent changes in Guijun have a positive side?" ”

"There is this possibility, in just one week, the strength of the first line in northern Guizhou has suddenly increased to Sanjie, division, this is the steady arrangement of Xiao Kebu after entering Hunan Province again, it can be seen that the Gui army still attaches great importance to this. Does the principal know where the Xianggui Railway under the personal command of General Bai Jiansheng is being repaired? It has been repaired to the territory of Yongzhou, and will soon be able to connect with the railway from Hengyang to Yongzhou built by General He Jian, although there are still several railway bridges between Liuzhou and Guilin that are working day and night. However, as long as there is no external influence, the whole line will be opened to traffic at the turn of spring and summer next year at the latest. ”

An Yi once again reminded Chiang Kai-shek of Guangxi's construction plan, and at this time the Gui army was certainly unwilling to burn the flames of war to the front line of northern Guizhou and affect its economic construction, and then reminded Chiang Kai-shek from another angle to pay attention to the intricate relationship between the two major forces of Hunan and Jiao, which was hostile and cooperative. "So I understand!"

Jiang Jiecun stared at the Hunan and Guizhou border areas on the map. With red and blue pencils, he marked the positions of the three main divisions of the Gui Department, raised his head and frowned slightly:

"What I'm most worried about is that the Gui family will not fight head-on, but use superior forces to drive out the ** army that fled into Guibei, and let He Yunge and He Jian bear it independently. At present, although He Long's troops have left the Xiangdu region, the Huang Han Division, which is more stubborn and difficult to deal with than He Long, is still nowhere to be found, so if He Yunlou withdraws all the two main divisions. He Xuezhou and He Chengdan are probably even more difficult. ”

An Yi immediately understood the meaning of Chiang Kai-shek's words. The location of the Huang Han Division, which was hidden in the Sichuan-Hunan-Hubei region, was a major hidden danger, and the location of the Huang Han Department was very critical, not only containing He Chengjun's two divisions. also put Liu Xiang on the ground. The Half Division and the three divisions of the 24th Army were involved in the north and south of the Sichuan-Hunan-Hubei region, which made it impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to withdraw troops to transfer to the northern Sichuan and western and northern Hunan and Qianbei lines, and An Yi could still hear that Chiang Kai-shek was fighting the idea of his own Anjia army.

At this time, General He Xuezhou is afraid that he will be in a hurry, and he promised the national press the "Autumn Campaign." There are only a few days left, but still the whereabouts of Huang Hanbu cannot be found, and He Longbu, who originally thought that he was already a caged bird, slipped silently from under his nose, and General Liu Xiang commanded four and a half divisions, including the 24th Army of the students, and was led around by Huang Han by the nose for dozens of days, and still has not made any achievements.

Gu Changfeng, the commander of the 24th Army, lost his temper with the students several times, saying that Liu Xiang was completely blind in command. I'm worried that he's going to lead his troops home in a fit of rage. After all, the important land in southern Sichuan is now empty of troops, and if the main force of the Red Army flees westward on a large scale, the industrial and agricultural bases in Qianxi, southern Sichuan, and Moxi, which have been piled up with painstaking efforts for several years, will be hanging

An Yi quietly put the blame on the two generals He and Liu Xiang.

Chiang Kai-shek sighed faintly, sat down and said helplessly: "If only you had been in charge of commanding the Sichuan-Hunan-Hubei battlefield, no matter how bad it is, it won't be like today, it's a shame!" This Liu Chengfu, as well as He Xuezhou, simply did not absorb the teachings of the previous four encirclements and suppressions, and made the same mistakes again and again, which is disappointing."

An Yi smiled and comforted: "The principal doesn't have to be sad, even if he let the students go, he couldn't make the trip." The early disaster that spread across half the country was far greater than the impact of 10,000 or 20,000 communist troops, and the principal was right to let the students go all out for disaster relief, at least it did not cause violent turmoil and refugee waves in the Luyu, Suzhou, Anhui and Lianghu regions. It has not affected the major battlefields, which is obvious to all. Again, the students thought that no one could be blamed at this time, especially General Liu Chengfu, as long as he still commanded the Sichuan army to fight hard in the main battlefield of northern Sichuan and the Red Army, it was the greatest contribution to the party-state, and, hehe,"

Chiang Kai-shek raised his head and glared at An Yi in displeasure: "And what? Go on".

An Yi hurriedly put away his smiling face: "Principal, isn't General Bai Jiansheng's mind exactly the principal's mind?" Only when the Sichuan army is consumed in the fierce offensive can the most favorable situation for the central government be formed. Two of the divisions succeeded in penetrating Mianyang and Yanting, north of Chengdu, more smoothly than we had anticipated, the student estimated. Yuanzhang General He Guoguang and Senior Brother Zeng are afraid that they will wake up laughing when they dream now.

"Nonsense! Utter nonsense! There is no political consciousness at all, and such words that are not conducive to unity will not be said again in the future

Chiang Kai-shek severely criticized An Yi on his lips, but he was very useful in his heart.

Based on the analysis of the current progress, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Red Army will be uprooted by the end of this year, and Liu Xiang will be able to change the situation in which the Central Army enters Sichuan strongly and is stationed for a long time

It is precisely because of this that Chiang Kai-shek felt that the elimination of the Huang Han troops entrenched in the reckless mountains of the Sichuan-Hunan-Hubei border region had reached the point where it could not be delayed, and only by completely eliminating this great scourge could several divisions of He Chengdan withdraw from the westward march and penetrate directly into the flank of Xu Xiangqian and Zhang Guozhuo's Red Army through the Sichuan-Hubei-Shaanxi border area, and launch a flank attack with the Sichuan Army and the divisions of the Central Army on the southern front, even if they could not completely annihilate the Sichuan-Shaanxi Red Army. It can also cut off the Red Army's retreat route to quickly move north to Shaanxi and escape from the battlefield, forcing the Red Army to flee from northwest Sichuan and the Shaanxi-Gansu border, and the Central Army can use the pretext of following and pursuing to drive straight into Sichuan and completely control Sichuan.

However, today's situation is changing rapidly and is extremely complicated, and if the Huang Han Department does not get rid of it for a day, it may bring unexpected threats to the two major battlefields of northern Sichuan and Hunan and Guizhou, and if the main force of He Chengjun's department gives up the attack on the Huang Han Department and decisively enters Sichuan, it is possible that the Huang Han Department will break through the "Hubei border line." and then plunged into the already very complex battlefield in northern Sichuan; If He Chengdan's main force is still contained on the front line of the Sichuan-Hubei border. The strategic implementation of the northern Sichuan battlefield will be affected by the heavy sound, and at least until the main force of the Central Army arrives, the current "situation in the north will not be greatly improved."

At present, the only troops that Chiang Kai-shek can mobilize is the Anjia Army, and Chiang Kai-shek has conceived more than once to order Cheng Guang's two provisional divisions to slowly march into the "southern Hunan line," and then separate the three divisions of Gu Changfeng's 20th Army from Liu Xiang's hands, and together with one and a half of Liu Xiang's security divisions, all of them will be handed over to the command of Gu Changfeng, a tiger general who is good at fighting tough battles and attacking tough battles. By pressing southward from the south bank of the Yangtze River in the Sichuan-Hubei River section and narrowing the encirclement step by step, He Chengjun's two offensive divisions, including the three infantry brigades stationed on the Jingxiang front, could be completely withdrawn and thrown into the battlefield in northern Sichuan.

But the intention is to return to the plan, Chiang Kai-shek had promised An Yi before that he would withdraw the 24th Army to southern Sichuan as soon as possible and defend it along the "Hunan-Guizhou border line", and now if he overturns the original promise, it is obviously difficult to speak, and it is to blame Liu Xiang and He Chengdan for being too incompetent, with 100,000 troops to deal with He Long and Huang Han, more than 20,000 people, and it turned out to be such an extremely passive situation today, not to mention that Gu Changfeng, who had never fought this kind of battle, was angry, and Chiang Kai-shek was angry several times in private. Chiang Kai-shek didn't speak, An Yi didn't speak, although their eyes were staring at the map, they were both beating their own calculations in their hearts.

An Yi felt that it was not a matter for such a stalemate, so he touched his chin that had been tongueless for three days, and asked in a low voice

"Headmaster, can you send a telegram to General Li Delin? The students estimated that Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng did not want to see their construction achievements damaged, and they were just worried that the main force of the Red Army would enter northern Guizhou along the border between Hunan and Guangdong, which was probably the reason why General Bai Jiansheng flew to Guangdong to discuss with General Chen Jitang before.

"Now the three teachers and students of the Guangdong Army are reinforcing the first line of the Guangdong-Guizhou-Hunan border, which must be the result of the request of Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng, plus the four divisions led by General Xue Yue of the General South Route Army, and the heavy troops of nearly ten divisions are distributed in the first line of southern Jiangxi, northern Guangdong and northern Guangxi, this is not counting the local security forces of the three provinces, the danger in northern Guizhou has actually been reduced to the lowest point, at this time, if Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng can be persuaded to take the initiative, I am afraid it is better than them bargaining with General He Jian in private, at least under the orders of the central government. There are a lot of things that can be put out to talk about. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly: "Makes sense." Go on

An Yi continued: "If the principal is really worried" about the Hunan and Hubei regions, he can give an order to General Liu Chengfu, instead of reminding him in a suggestive or consultative tone, and tell him directly. The section of the river from Yichang to Chongqing was safely handed over to the Jiang Defense Unit of Cheng Cheng Guang, and in order to ensure shipping, the Cheng Cheng Guang Department had been stationed in place for more than a month to effectively monitor and guard the upstream waters, and General Liu Xiang could completely avoid any worries. Then the command of the 24th Army was handed over to Gu Changfeng, and all of them, including one and a half security divisions in eastern Sichuan, were all under the command of Gu Changfeng, even if they could not eliminate the Huang Han Division. It can also drive the Huang Hanbu out of the mountains. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's spirits were lifted: "In which direction?" ”

"I think it's best to catch up from the north to the south, and then ask General Zhang Honggong's 44th Army to draw two divisions to assist as much as possible to completely block the counties in northern Hunan. As a result, the Huang Han Department could not break through to the east, and could only flee all the way south along the Sichuan-Hunan border. An Yi finally said his plan.

Chiang Kai-shek immediately stared at the map, and it seemed that after a long time, he finally nodded heavily: "Very good!" Instead of spending a lot of troops to disperse and attack, it is better to drive the Red Army in a heap, so that the Sichuan-Hubei front line will be completely free of pressure, and with the help of the Lu Guang Department along the river, the situation in Sichuan and Hubei will be fully lived, and our plan to enter Sichuan will be implemented more quickly. It's just "How much time do you think Gu Changfeng will take to complete the purging of the Sichuan-Hunan-Hubei region?" ”

"I'm afraid it will take two months, the area is too big, the terrain is too complicated, one and a half of the four and a half divisions can only be used as a reserve, mainly relying on the three main divisions of the Twenty-fourth Army, so the progress cannot be too fast, but it is definitely much better than rushing here and there like a headless fly all day long. The stupid thing of raking in the east and raking in the west can no longer be done. Only by taking the initiative to find the enemy is the best way to solve the current predicament.

"Good! Very good! I'll bring a few Kanhou here, you discuss it with them, make a guiding plan, and I will call Liu Chengfu immediately. also asked He Xuezhou to respond to Gu Changfeng from the side, "Niang Xipi, in the end, we have to rely on our Central Army descendants to solve the problem."
