Chapter 1047: Anger and Anger (1)

As early as when the sixth column commanded by Xue Yue suddenly exerted force, commanding four divisions of Han Hanying, Ou Zhen, Tang Yunshan, and Liang Huasheng, to storm Gulonggang, a strategic point between Ningdu and Xingguo, and quickly occupy it, An Yi saw that the overall situation of the Jiangxi-Fujian battlefield had been decided, and the Red Army, which had given up its superiority to fight positional warfare and offensive and defensive warfare with the Central Army, had suffered extremely serious attrition, and had long since lost the capital to compete with an enemy ten times its size.

Everything that happened next was expected by everyone, the Red Army was forced to abandon the base area of Jiangxi and Fujian to break through with all its might, and after a week of hurried preparations, it crossed Gongshui south on October 17, and four days later the forward troops defeated the enemy intercepted by the Xinfeng line and successfully broke out of the first line.

After crossing the Xinfeng River, the main force of the Central Red Army, which carried a large number of heavy burdens and was in chaos, spent 13 days and walked 150 kilometers close to the Jiangxi-Guangdong border, marching an average of 13 kilometers a day, but it was able to once again break the defense line of the two divisions of the General Western Route Army stationed in Rucheng, successfully break through the second encirclement, and continue to the west.

During this 13-day period, Chen Cheng, who was in command in Ganzhou, did not mobilize superior forces to intercept or strike southward, and Xue Yue's column, which followed behind the Red Army troops, gave up the opportunity because it "had not yet completed the task of clearing the occupied areas" and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack.

Chen Jitang, commander-in-chief of the Guangdong suppression command, who commanded the heavy troops to be deployed on the front line of Jiangxi and Guangdong, saw that something was wrong with the situation and was worried that this was a conspiracy of Lao Chiang, so he quickly stood still and strictly defended it, and a small number of Guangdong troops arranged on the road of the Red Army's advance were about to collapse at the first touch, and they were unwilling to fight with the Red Army that was breaking through the encirclement with all their might, and in order to maintain their own strength, they did not have any intention of taking the initiative to attack.

The advisory group headed by Fogenhausen was puzzled by what was happening at the front and exclaimed again and again what was wrong? How could the various departments of the Central Army, which had been trained for several years by various countries, especially German advisers, be so slow to react? Taking Chen Cheng's Northern Route Army and Xue Yue's Column as examples, the Red Army's main force had only just launched a pursuit operation after almost all of them had passed through the second encirclement, and the slowness of the action was astonishing.

Fogenhausen was very excited, grabbed An Yi's hand and said that he couldn't understand it at all, and he couldn't figure out how the *** team would have such a poor performance.

An Yi was also very surprised in his heart, he couldn't understand how Chen Cheng and Xue Yue, who had always been shrewd and decisive, could be so procrastinating? Only the situation of the other armies can be explained:

The reason why the Western Route Army did not move south in time to block the Red Army's westward advance was because the Red Army's Luo Binghui Corps, as everyone feared, suddenly rushed out of the line of Jiangxi and Hunan and raided Changsha, the capital of Hunan. The Eastern Route Army commanded by Jiang Dingwen was still making every effort to clear the remnants of the Red Army on the front line of the Jiangxi-Fujian border, among which Zhou Hunyuan's column also had to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Anhui, so the East Route Army was getting farther and farther away from the Central Red Army and could not be quickly transferred to the Hunan and Jiangxi lines for a while.

Fogenhausen immediately questioned why Chen Jitang's Cantonese army did not take the initiative to attack? In order to allow the Guangdong army to participate in the encirclement and suppression, didn't Chairman Jiang allocate a huge military expenditure of as much as 3.5 million yuan to Chen Jitang three times? Even if you are a mercenary, you should abide by the professional ethics of taking money to work!

An Yi could only shake his head and smile bitterly, he knew that he could not clearly explain to Fogenhausen the current military and political situation in China, as well as the complex relationship between the central and local warlords under the influence of factors such as ***, economic and historical grievances.

is as strong as An Yi, and at this time, he has not yet realized what the essence of this series of abnormal situations is. Although he was very puzzled by the performance of the generals of the Central Army, he thought of another element: after more than a year of continuous campaigning, hundreds of thousands of troops have indeed reached a very tired time, after all, the various departments of the Central Army are also uneven, whether it is education or military training, they are far inferior to their own Anjia Army, there are too many things to improve in all aspects, and many times they can't be in a hurry.

Fürgenhausen was apparently not satisfied with En's explanation of avoiding the important and trivial, and he personally went to see Chiang Kai-shek, and it was not until the third visit that Chiang Kai-shek took time out of the complicated meetings and held a detailed discussion with Fogenhausen alone for two and a half hours.

After Fogenhausen came back, he no longer had any complaints, and when he saw An Yi, who worked with him, he didn't have his original smile, and seemed to be avoiding An Yi's gaze intentionally or unintentionally.

An Yi didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that Fogenhausen finally understood the intricate military and political situation in China, and unconsciously regarded himself as a warlord leader who divided one side and disrespected the orders of the central government, so he didn't care, and still performed his duties step by step, summarizing and analyzing the war reports and intelligence sent back by the frontline departments, and providing Chiang Kai-shek, who had every opportunity and all battlefields in the country, with basic information for decision-making.

On 15 November, the Central Red Army, which could not walk much faster than the ants, once again broke through the "heavily guarded" third line from Liangtian to Yizhang south of Chenzhou in Hunan, and easily entered the Linwu, Lanshan, and Jiahe areas on the border of Hunan, Guangdong, and Guangxi.

At this time, An Yi finally found that things were a little out of his control!

After Chen Jitang's Guangdong Army went north, the four divisions of Xue Yue's Column, which was in charge of the southern front battlefield, were immediately merged into the Northern Route Army, and after seven days, they were still 70 kilometers behind the slow-moving Red Army. The fifth column commanded by Luo Zhuoying under Chen Cheng included Huang Wei's 11th Division, Huo Yuzhang's 14th Division, Fu Zhongfang's 67th Division, Li Shusen's 94th Division, and Xia Chuzhong's 98th Division, all of which were well-equipped main divisions that had rested for a week, but they still couldn't catch up with the slow pace of the Red Army; What made An Yi even more puzzled was that He Jian's six divisions and the three main divisions of the Western Route Army that rushed to the aid of Hunan were all guarding the line from Chenzhou to Hengyang, putting on a posture of defending the safety of Changsha with all their might, rather than taking the initiative to attack with superior forces.

After thinking about it repeatedly against the map, An Yi finally understood that in fact, according to the current situation, as long as the troops in Hunan attacked the vanguard of the Red Army head-on, the main force of the Red Army, which was exhausted and constantly decreasing, would quickly collapse, and the main force of the Central Army of more than 100,000 and the Yuegui army in the south could easily annihilate the Red Army units that had broken apart and fled without spending much effort. The reason why such a strange situation has now taken place must be that Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "diverting trouble from the west" is at work, and it must be that he wants to use the strength of the local warlords by driving the Red Army to the Hunan and Guizhou regions, and then follow the Central Army to wait for an opportunity to move, so as to kill many birds with one stone. Since Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had previously adopted such a strategy against the Red Army's Xiao Ke Corps, Chiang Kai-shek also came to govern others in the way of others.

An Yi, who suddenly realized, was full of emotion in his heart, and his doubts deepened.

Finally waited for dinner time, An Yi put down all the work at hand, and thought of dining at the Jiangnan Hotel Donhe West Restaurant across the lake from the camp, and as soon as he walked out of the gate of the headquarters, he saw Xu Yongchang coming towards him, saying that the committee would hold an emergency military meeting at eight o'clock in the evening, and generals such as Chen Cheng, Luo Zhuoying, and Xue Yue had already arrived at the airport and would soon arrive at the camp.

An Yi nodded to show that he understood, declined Xu Yongchang's suggestion to eat together, left the camp by car, and rushed to Jiangnan Hotel.

When the car entered the special parking courtyard behind the hotel, An Yi got out of the car, immediately entered the communication command vehicle, dictated the message, and quickly sent it to Shi Zhen in Qianxi.

In less than ten minutes, Shi Zhen called back, and An Yi immediately drafted the telegram in person, instructing his staff officers to use the set of passwords that Shi Zhen's department had been in contact with the Gui family for a long time, and then he and Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong left the command car and went to the second floor for dinner.

Before half of the sumptuous dinner was eaten, Zhao Bohan came in a hurry and handed Bai Chongxi's reply to An Yi, the reply was only a short sentence, but An Yi was shocked into a cold sweat, Bai Chongxi's reply was: Brother, don't do stupid things like 50 steps and 100 steps.

An Yi no longer had the slightest appetite, and stared at the message in silence for a long time before he took out a lighter and slowly lit it, and the burning flames reflected An Yi's flushed face even redder.

Shen Fengdao, who was sharp-eyed on the other side, had already seen the full text of the telegram, and understood An Yi's painful and angry mood at the moment, Shen Fengdao waved his hand lightly, and asked Zhao Bohan to go to Lin Yaodong and the guard's table to eat, pushed away the large plate in front of him, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth:

"At this time, you must not get angry, let alone let people see the clues, it is better to pretend that you don't know anything...... Damn, we should go back! ”

An Yi was silent, at this moment, he thought a lot, thought of Chen Cheng, Xue Yue and others' sluggish and almost sluggish actions, thought of He Jian's selfishness when he easily withdrew the main force of the three divisions in northern Xiangbei, thought of Chiang Kai-shek always intentionally or unintentionally brought his eyes to the battlefields of northern Sichuan and Hunan-Hubei-Sichuan, whenever he talked about the main force of the Central Red Army, he pulled the topic to the Huang Han Department, asking Gu Changfeng to speed up the pace of attack, and he even thought of Fugenhausen's apologetic smile and avoiding his gaze intentionally or unintentionally.

Prior to this, An Yi only vaguely saw that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi might be plotted, and maybe He Jian in Hunan would also have problems, and even extended to this because of his meritorious service in fighting Xiao Ke and He Longbu, and won the appreciation of Chiang Kai-shek Wang Jialie, who had just been appointed commander-in-chief of Guizhou, and Mao Guangxiang, chairman of Guizhou Province, but An Yi never thought that Lao Jiang would still have such huge and deep intentions and ambitions for himself and his allies who had made great contributions to the country and the nation.

If it is really as Bai Chongxi predicted, then Chiang Kai-shek's ambition is definitely not just to weaken the Hunan and Guizhou warlords and occupy Guizhou, stimulated by the unprecedented success of the Sichuan plan, Chiang Kai-shek wants to get more, bigger, his own layout of the southwest, has already become Chiang Kai-shek's next prey, after all, now the rapid economic development, factories, new products and new technologies emerge in an endless stream of southern Sichuan, has become another industrial center and scientific research base in China, even if he is loyal, it is completely his own industry, there is no central government can be at your disposal to be convenient and direct, let alone look at your own face to act.

An Yi remembered the meaningful smile he showed when he reported to Chiang Kai-shek that the monthly production of aircraft produced by Syria using German and American engines had exceeded 20 and that two types of advanced aircraft engines had been successfully developed by himself. He was in ignorance from beginning to end, and even played a role in Chiang Kai-shek's strategy of trying to annex the region.

Bai Chongxi's short reply also made An Yi see the vision and confidence of the Gui giant, known as "Little Zhuge ", no matter what, it is difficult for the Red Army to make a difference on the front line in northern Guangxi, although the Gui army was hit hard in the Jiang-Gui War, but the Gui army has a strong fighting spirit and years of recuperation, almost all equipped with new weapons and two brigades of air force to help in the war, and the combat effectiveness is not only several times that of the "steel army" during the Northern Expedition?

Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren could easily annihilate and drive away the Red Army that entered Guizhou, and after the Red Army was blocked from entering Guizhou, they could only turn around and go north to Guizhou, and the Guizhou army, which was weak and lax in training, was already very difficult to deal with the attack of Xiao Ke and He Longbu at this moment, what could they use to stop the Red Army that was fighting to the death? Can't stop the Red Army's way, so he can only let the Red Army go away and enter the Sichuan-Yunnan territory, and this result is what Chiang Kai-shek needs most, Bai Chongxi's reminder finally awakened An Yi's strong sense of crisis.

An Yi was angry and extremely self-blaming, because of his high sense of responsibility for the country and the nation, for the overall situation, and the sense of vigilance that gradually disappeared under Chiang Kai-shek's gentle policy, made him proud and complacent, paralyzed and careless, and made him lose the sense of crisis and vigilance that he should always maintain in this troubled era. If things really developed to that point, he didn't know how to face his relatives, friends, siblings, tens of millions of people in southern Sichuan, who had managed to live a stable life for a few years, and he didn't know how to face the heavy losses caused by this.

Shen Fengdao looked at An Yi with great concern, his face changed sharply, following An Yi to the present, it was the second time he saw An Yi so angry and painful, the first time was after the Northern Expedition broke his wings and returned to Nanjing. Shen Fengdao wanted to say a few words of explanation to An Yi, but his throat squirmed for a long time, and he couldn't say a word, because he also felt angry, he also felt fooled, and his chest was stinging like being burned by a raging fire.
