Jiujiang, the headquarters of the 9th Corps of the 2nd Theater, the restless Zhang Fakui rubbed a pair of big hands and paced back and forth in the war room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the offensive of the Hatian detachment on Madao was temporarily stopped, the atmosphere near Jiujiang was heating up. Especially in the past two days, the Japanese Japanese ships on the surface of the water have made frequent movements, the traitors and Japanese intelligence personnel near Jiujiang have also become active, and the Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky have been carrying out repeated reconnaissance of the defensive positions of the 2nd Army Corps.

Perhaps because Chen Cixiu also felt the war clouds hanging over Jiujiang, the number of calls and telegrams from the headquarters of the 9th Theater Commander to Jiujiang has basically been increasing recently.

Although Commander Chen Cixiu said on the phone, the core meaning was repeated in two sentences: "The 2nd Corps must defend the Jiujiang beachhead, and you will never be allowed to take a step back!" Being bothered by such shouting all day long, Zhang Fakui feels so upset!

In Zhang Fakui's opinion, Chen Cixiu's military talent is really too far behind Huang Haoran! Even the commanders of many divisions and brigades below saw that in the face of the modern Japanese army, Jiujiang was a Jedi with soldiers! Zhang Fakui really doesn't understand why Chen Cixiu just can't see it!

What a pity! Huang Haoran was not the commander of the 9th Theater, and the Jiang Defense Army on the Yangtze River was the territory of the Wuhan Garrison Command, so it was impossible for Zhang Fakui to take Huang Haoran's order to mobilize his troops and fight against the orders of his immediate boss Chen Cixiu. It is very taboo in officialdom to commit the following crimes!

Zhang Fakui's 2nd Corps has a total of five group army-level units, of which the three group armies commanded by Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng, and Li Yannian are all descendants of the Central Army, and they do not buy Zhang Fakui, a superior who has fought with the highest authorities, and it is absolutely impossible for them to follow Zhang Fakui and Chen Cixiu, the henchmen of the highest authorities.

In fact, at present, the only troops that Zhang Fakui can really command are Sun Tongxuan's 3rd Group Army and Wang Lingji's 30th Group Army of the Sichuan Army.

Compared with the Whampoa generals such as Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng, and Li Yannian, the identities of Sun Tongxuan and Wang Lingji are more embarrassing. Sun Tongxuan was born in the Northwest Army, followed Feng Yuxiang to fight the highest authorities in his early years, and later followed Han Fuqu to engage in an independent small kingdom in Shandong.

First, Sun Fulin's 55th Army was transferred to Huang Haoran by an order from the Military Commission, and then the new Fourth Division of Wu Huawen of the 56th Army was transferred by Chief Li to attack Jinan in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and responded to the main force of the national army in the direction of Xuzhou, and never returned. Poor Sun Tongxuan carried the signboard of the commander of the group army in vain, but he did the errand of the army commander, and the troops under his command were only 3 divisions of the 12th Army.

As for Wang Lingji, the commander of the 30th Group Army, he was one of the representatives of the old warlords in Sichuan, and he had a relationship with the Nanjing government of the highest authority for most of his life! In the early years of the Republic of China, Wang Lingji once supported the Beiyang warlords to fight the Northern Expeditionary Army. Now that he is out of Sichuan to resist Japan, Wang Lingji is not willing.

When Liu Xiang led the Sichuan army out of Sichuan, he appointed Wang Lingji as the commander of the Sichuan security to stay in Sichuan.

After Liu Xiang's death, Wang Lingji thought that his experience and status in the Sichuan military system were enough to keep pace with Pan Wenhua, Tang Shizun, and Wang Zhangxu, and that there were more than a dozen security regiments in the army than them, so the chairman of Sichuan Province was none other than Wang Lingji. So after the highest authorities revealed their intention to let Zhang Qun dominate Sichuan, Wang Lingji was the most ferocious among the generals of the Sichuan army! Later, the highest authorities asked Minister He to send Zhu Shaoliang to probe Wang Lingji's tone, and Wang Lingji actually openly threatened: "Sichuan must be managed by Sichuan people!" If any outsider dares to come to Chengdu, I, Wang Lingji, will welcome him with machine guns, grenades, and cannons! ”

In this way, Wang Lingji will offend the highest authorities to death! Later, under the manipulation of the highest authorities, there was internal strife within the Sichuan army, and Wang Lingji was bowed down by Wang Zhangxu, who he never looked at. Wang Zhangxu was afraid that Wang Lingji would stay in Sichuan and make trouble with himself, so he proposed to the supreme authorities that it would be best to organize Wang Lingji's troops in Sichuan into a group army to go out to Sichuan to resist the war, and the supreme authorities gladly agreed. In this way, Wang Zhangxu's 16 security regiments were reorganized into two armies and 4 divisions to form the 30th Group Army.

When selecting division and brigade commanders, because Wang Lingji was known for his stubbornness, almost no Sichuan officers were willing to follow him, and the 30th Group Army could not even form a command structure! In the end, Wang Lingji tossed around in Sichuan for 3 months, and then he reluctantly concentrated his troops in the Yueyang area.

Commanding such an intertwined force of various forces, the most direct reaction is that it is difficult to carry out orders! When the fortress was attacked by the Botian detachment, Zhang Fakui successively sent several telegrams to the 31st Group Army, ordering Tang Enbo to send a strong force to take over the Hukou area and reinforce the Jiang defense army in the fortress, but Tang Enbo was blocked back with the reason of "needing to ask for instructions and study"!

If it weren't for the fact that Guan Linzheng, the commander of the 32nd Group Army, had fought under Huang Haoran, admired Huang Haoran very much, and took the initiative to send Li Xianzhou's 92nd Army to reinforce Hukou, Zhang Fakui would probably have only been able to transfer the general reserve of the 2nd Corps, his 4th Army!

Zhang Fakui knew very well in his heart that all that Guan Linzheng did was actually for Huang Haoran's face, if he was replaced by Zhang Fakui in Mayuan, it would not be necessary if the 32nd Group Army was willing to send troops!

As the saying goes, "the county official is not as good as the current management", how did he turn it over when he got here? Every time he thought of this, Zhang Fakui couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

It is precisely based on the above reasons that although Zhang Fakui got the "magic trick" from Huang Haoran to understand the predicament of Jiujiang through Jiang Baili, the pressure on his shoulders has not been reduced much.

No matter how good a plan is, it must be carried out by troops, right? Zhang Fakui is not sure that these generals under his command will obey him! What's more, the supreme authorities have always been extremely concerned about these descendants of his troops, and as far as Zhang Fakui knows, the group army headquarters of Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng, and Li Yannian all have special radio stations that can directly communicate with the supreme authorities! If it really comes to a critical juncture, as long as these heart-warming babies of the highest authorities call out, then the last unlucky person must be him Zhang Fakui!

It's really painful to be the commander of this corps in name only! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
