Chapter 49: Huang Haoran's Future

7.49 Wong's Future

While Huang Haoran and Zhang Zizhong were talking in front of Chief Li's official residence, Chief Li, his chief of staff Xu Zuyi, and deputy chief of staff Wang Hongshao were also holding a small meeting in the official residence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Zizhong's arrival made Chief Li and Deputy Chief of Staff Wang Hongshao feel very happy, Chief Li and Wang Hongshao knew the 59th Army very well, the Northwest Army's powerful brigade, and compared with other miscellaneous army units in the 5th Theater, the 59th Army was much better in terms of soldiers and equipment!

Zhang Zizhong is now leading the predecessor of the 59th Army is the 38th Division of the 29th Route Army guarding Beiping.

"Degong! Your trip to Wuhan and Zhengzhou, the harvest is not small! First, Huang Youchen's 25th Army was transferred, and then Zhang Xinchen's 59th Army was brought in.... This is simply two more trump cards for our 5 war zones out of thin air! The Battle of the Huai River was able to completely annihilate the 116th Wing of the Japanese Army and drive the Central China Front Army in Hebei back to the south of the Huai River, and Huang Youchen and Zhang Xinchen contributed a lot! With the two of them on the northern line of Jinpu Road, the Japanese army in North China should have a headache! ”

Seeing that the "strong reinforcements" arrived at the north line of Jinpu Road one after another, Xu Zuyi's mood was particularly comfortable! Unexpectedly, he slapped Chief Li's ass.

Chief Li smiled very cooperatively and accepted Xu Zuyi's words of praise, Xu Zuyi's words just scratched the itch of Chief Li, and pulled Huang Haoran and Zhang Zizhong, the two generals, to Jinpu Road, which can indeed be regarded as Chief Li's genius.

Since Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army arrived in the 5th Theater, the operational situation in the 5th Theater has begun to change quietly! Although the operation of the 99th Army on the north bank of the Huai River made Xu Zuyi worry for a whole day, it received unexpected results!

Without the cooperation of the Central China Front on the Southern Front, the originally vigorous Japanese North China Front also took the initiative to stop its southward march after learning that Pang Bingxun's troops had gone to Linyi to set up defenses.

Now that the Japanese troops on the southern line of the Jinpu Road have retreated across the Huai River, and the situation north of Xuzhou has returned to calm, the arduous task of the highest authorities to hold Xuzhou for three to five months in the 5th Theater no longer seems so far away......

Thinking of this, Chief Li couldn't help but smile comfortably.

The colleagues of the Wuhan government and the Military Commission all felt that Chief Li in Xuzhou was holding a bad card in his hands, but Chief Li himself didn't think so!

The troops of the Fifth Theater of Operations are indeed some "miscellaneous cards". For example, Sun Lianzhong, Liu Ruming, Cao Fulin, Mi Wenhe, Feng Zhi'an and other units were all troops of the former Northwest Army; Yu Xuezhong's troops were the Northeast Army; Sun Zhen and Chen Dingxun are the Sichuan troops; Liao Lei and Li Pinxian are the Guangxi troops; It is true that the equipment of these troops is inferior to that of the Central Army, which is the descendant of the highest authority. But who said that "miscellaneous cards" can't fight?

Chief Li is a man who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he has always thought that there are only incompetent generals, and there are no soldiers who cannot be used!

Although these "miscellaneous cards" in the 5th theater are backward in equipment and uneven in combat effectiveness, these armies that have grown up in the civil war also have their own "housekeeping skills"!

Needless to say, Chief Li's own "Gui line" troops have always had a strong people's style, and the "Gui line" troops have also inherited this fierce style and are full of combat effectiveness.

In the battle of Xifengkou, the broadsword of the Northwest Army was famous all over the world, and Chief Li believed that even among the "German Armor Division" of the highest authority, I am afraid that it would not be possible to pick out a strong force as good at close combat as the Northwest Army!

Although it was the first time for the Sichuan army to participate in such a modern operation, it seemed that it was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm. But the Sichuan army also has its own unique skills! Don't look at the large number of troops in the Sichuan army, the number of people is small, the weapons and equipment are inferior, and there is almost no attack ability. But when it comes to fighting a defensive battle for the home and nursing home, the Sichuan army is a good hand!

As for the troops of the Northeast Army, they are even more old-fashioned powerhouses! Zhang Shaoshuai was imprisoned by the highest authorities and took away the spirit of these Northeast men, but he did not take away the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army! The old foundation of the Zhang family, which has been operating outside the customs for many years, is still there! Although it is also a "miscellaneous" army, the equipment and soldier quality of the Northeast Army are not inferior to those of the Central Army!

Chief Li believes that as long as these "motley" generals are convinced and convinced, they will certainly be able to arouse their patriotism and fight for the salvation of the country and the enemy!

Moreover, Chief Li himself is also a local powerful boss, and there is a natural sense of closeness between him and the "miscellaneous" army generals!

It is precisely because Chief Li is also a "miscellaneous card" that these "miscellaneous" generals in the 5th Theater know that Chief Li will definitely not eliminate them in the name of resisting Japan, and will also give them these "miscellaneous cards" in a timely and fair manner.

It is precisely because of the trust of the generals of the "motley" army that Chief Li will be handy in commanding the "motley" army in the 5th theater. The highest authorities specially invited Chief Li to sit in Xuzhou, but in fact, it is precisely this that he has taken a fancy to.

It's just that the highest authorities did not expect that Chief Li's performance was even better than he expected, and if it weren't for the Japanese eyeing Xuzhou, the highest authorities would have come to Xuzhou to stir up the situation.

The highest authorities asked for Chief Li, so that Chief Li was given the unprecedented power to appoint and dismiss personnel in the 5th War Zone. Under the careful selection of Chief Li, most of the elites of China's "miscellaneous" army were also concentrated in the headquarters of the commander of the 5th Theater Theater!

Xu Zuyi, the chief of staff who graduated from the Japanese Army University, acted as Chief Li's arm. Under Xu Zuyi's conditioning, the troops of several different factions get along very well, and all of Chief Li's strategic ideas will quickly become detailed operational plans in Xu Zuyi's hands, and in Chief Li's mind, Xu Zuyi and "Little Zhuge " are almost indistinguishable!

Chief of Staff Wang Hongshao, whose name is Zhenwu, is a native of Baodi, Hebei Province, graduated from the Baoding Military Academy in the early stage and the special class of the Army University. Wang Hongshao often said: "When fighting against the enemy, it is very important to understand the enemy's situation, and in view of the enemy's situation, it is particularly important to assign one's own troops to appropriate positions." Therefore, before every war against Japan, Wang Hongshao would carefully examine and correct the plan drawn up by the General Staff Office, make textual revisions, and do his best to strategize. Chief Li admires Wang Hongshao very much!

Confidential secretary Huang Xuecun, a native of Xiangtan, Hunan, is very talented and has beautiful writing. Most of Chief Li's confidential documents and correspondence were written by Huang Xuecun. He has always been by Chief Lee's side. Even Huang Xuecun's letter to the highest authorities was written by Huang Xuecun.

It is precisely because he has a satisfactory command team in his hands that Chief Li is able to command the battle without distractions, and the supreme authorities have been wearing small shoes for Chief Li for so many years, and this time it can be regarded as a good thing.

All of the above are the hole cards for Chief Li to dare to plot to annihilate the Japanese army in the 5th theater. But it is obviously not enough to rely on these hole cards alone to deal with the menacing Japanese army.

Chief Li also needs a trump card, a strong force that can give the Japanese army a fatal blow at a critical moment! It is for this reason that I went to Zhengzhou to meet the highest authorities and asked Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps to fight in the 5th Theater!

It's not that Chief Li doesn't believe in Huang Haoran, and he still has to keep some back hands for himself, it's really because before Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army was put into actual combat, Chief Li had no bottom in his heart!

Although Huang Haoran's troops performed well on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, after all, they fought continuously for a long time and suffered heavy casualties. Coupled with the expansion of Anqing, tens of thousands of recruits have been replenished. Chief Li, Xu Zuyi, and Wang Hongshao were all worried that the 25th Group Army would not be able to fight a tough battle for the time being, but after the Battle of the Huai River, these concerns of Chief Li had disappeared!

Huang Haoran can still fight! And it's not an ordinary fight! After the formation of the 25th Army, it made its debut in less than a day, annihilating an infantry wing of the Japanese army plus a cavalry brigade! Can Townenbo's 20th Army be able to achieve such a record?

The answer is clearly no! Don't say it's Townenburg! Look at the whole of China! I'm afraid that only Huang Haoran's tiger and wolf army, which was fed with the flesh and blood of the Japanese army, can win so cleanly! Even the Japanese did not dare to retaliate after the 116th Wing was completely annihilated by Huang Haoran! Such a spirit! The title of ace is well deserved!

And Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army is an unexpected gain in the 5th theater! If it weren't for Zhang Zizhong's infamy as a "traitor" and his dismissal, Song Zheyuan retained the 59th Army in return to Zhang Zizhong, how could Chief Li still have a chance to get this strong force of the Northwest Army? Yan Xishan has been forced by the Japanese to jump into the river in Shanxi! If Zhang Zizhong had returned to the 59th Army a few days earlier, I was afraid that he would have arrived in Shanxi by now!

Sometimes you need some luck to fight, and you need even more luck to win a war! After getting Huang Haoran and Zhang Zizhong, Chief Li felt that his luck had come!

It's time to plan the little devils!

"Brother Yan Mou! Huang Youchen is now the deputy commander of our 5th Theater, and now it is a little inappropriate to compare him with Zhang Xinchen, right? ”

Wang Hongshao couldn't help but remind Xu Zuyi that Huang Haoran came to Xuzhou with a letter of appointment from the Wuhan Military Commission! Don't look at Huang Haoran's qualifications, but now he is a veritable deputy commander of the 5th Theater, let alone Zhang Zizhong, even Wang Hongshao and Xu Zuyi have to call "deputy seat" in front of Huang Haoran!

"What my brother said is very true! I almost forgot about this joint! Now I am also his subordinate of Huang Youchen! It seems that the commission's expectations for Huang Youchen are quite high! Among the generals from Huangpu, Huang Youchen should be regarded as the first person to sit in the position of deputy commander of the theater, right? ”

Xu Zuyi patted his head and expressed his gratitude to Wang Hongshao, Wang Hongshao seemed to be very interested in Xu Zuyi's last question, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying: "At least there is no one in the first phase of Huangpu, even Hu Zongnan and Chen Cixiu have only served as the director of the camp or the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the war zone!" In this way, Huang Youchen's future is really limitless......" (To be continued.) )
