Chapter 265: Turning the Tide (1)

The second telegram was sent by Huang Haoran to Wang Huanzhi. www.biquge.info After properly handling relations with Wuhan and stabilizing the rear area, he now has to free up his hands to deal with the internal problems of the Jiang Defense Army and the 25th Group Army.

When the telegram arrived at the fortress of Tianjiazhen, Wang Huanzhi was under siege by the generals of the Jiang Defense Army system. Leading the way was Wan Yaohuang, deputy commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command and commander of the Jiangbei District.

Wan Yaohuang proposed that in the absence of contact with Huang Haoran, an acting commander-in-chief should be selected from among their deputy commanders. Regarding the current situation of being led by Wang Huanzhi, this General Wan was indignant and anxious, saying that he was completely unacceptable.

This request is justified. Although Wang Huanzhi plays the role of the No. 2 person in Huang Haoran's small group, he is just an ordinary general in the entire Wuhan government. Huang Haoran is a second-class general of the army, a celebrity in front of the highest authorities, and the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison Command appointed by the Military Commission. Which green onion are you Wang Huanzhi?

How could the dignified deputy commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command be restrained by a lieutenant general in charge of logistics under Huang Haoran's command? I call you Huang Haoran's brother! As long as it is not a superior appointed by the Military Commission, Lao Tzu will not buy it at all!

Of course, that's just the reason to put it on the table. Wan Yaohuang's real motive for making trouble is not so glorious to say.

Wan Yaohuang is a native of Huanggang, Hubei, and participating in the Battle of Wuhan is equivalent to returning to his home field, and he is naturally eager to play a few games of seven brothers and sisters in front of his hometown fathers and elders, and he ranks third. Father fights beautifully. When he was young, Wan Yaohuang's family fell in the middle of the road. Fortunately, his uncle Xia Shoukang was a Hanlin of the Qing Dynasty, and he loved ten thousand minutes, which made his life turn around. Later, because of his excellent grades, he was recommended to study in the first phase of the Baoding Army Military Academy. Wan Yaohuang was hard-working and promoted, but because he was not from Zhejiang and did not have a Huangpu background, he was always outside the core of power.

In 1936, Wan Yaohuang finally waited for an opportunity. When he led his troops stationed in Xianyang, he went to Xi'an to meet Jiang Dingwen, deputy commander-in-chief of the "Suppression Chief" in the northwest, but the Xi'an Incident occurred and he was also detained. Wan Yaohuang asked his wife Zhou Changlin to collude with the detained senior officials, and according to Jiang Dingwen's intentions, he notified the troops to move from Xianyang and make way for the Northeast Army Yu Xuezhong to enter Xi'an and balance the forces of the Northwest Army to facilitate the resolution of the incident. After the fact, he finally gained the trust of the highest authorities.

To be able to become the minister in distress at the time of the "Xi'an Incident" of the highest authority, Wan Yaohuang was indeed a highlight for a period of time. However, with the beginning of the all-out war of resistance, because of political needs, the highest authorities began to say nothing about the Xi'an incident. After the Battle of Songhu began, Wan Yaohuang led his troops to block the Japanese army near Junjiabang east of Liu Xing, and the fight was considered hard. In the later period, the troops were withdrawn to the periphery of Wuhan for reorganization, and Wan Yaohuang was promoted to the commander of the 15th Army Corps and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Wuhan garrison. But he didn't expect that the 15th Army Corps actually had no fixed troops, and it had no number but no strength. In frustration, Wan Yaohuang said that he was the "Commander of the Light Pole".

thought that Xi'an would be able to rise to the top by accompanying the highest authorities to a prison trip, but as a result, it turned around, but it was still not reused, and the pain in Wan Yaohuang's heart can be imagined.

Especially after the current top boss Huang Haoran was airborne, Wan Yaohuang was even more depressed and was about to vomit blood. You must know that before the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Wan Yaohuang was the army commander, Huang Haoran was just a second-class division commander, and now, he is the "light pole commander" with an empty number, and Huang Haoran is a second-class general of the army with 200,000 soldiers!

Such a rocket-like rise speed is simply what Wan Yaohuang envisioned for himself at the beginning, but now it has become someone else's experience, how can he balance?

At one time, Wan Yaohuang even wanted to hang the seal and go away and be an idle cloud and wild crane. Wan Yaohuang had planned to take this opportunity to withdraw from the military circles, but who would have expected that the highest authorities would actually let Huang Haoran's brother-in-law Jiang Baili, the acting president of the Army University, become the director of education, and he could only stoop to Jiang Baili and serve as the deputy director of education and the head teacher of the officer training corps.

Appointed twice, he served as the deputy of Jiang Baili and Huang Haoran, the sworn brothers, respectively, Wan Yaohuang felt that these two people were his nemesis! Especially Huang Haoran, maybe his fortune was taken away by this kid.

Under extreme depression, Wan Yaohuang finally succeeded in drilling the horns of the bull and hated Huang Haoran to death.

As for Jiang Baili, he was directly ignored by Wan Yaohuang, the kind of immortal in front of the highest authority, a scattered person with no real power, he didn't envy it, and he didn't want to mess with it.

In this way, Wan Yaohuang hid in a dark corner, waiting quietly, accumulating strength by the way. Huang Haoran's appointment as commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command was not completely without benefits to Wan Yaohuang. At the very least, his 15th Army is no longer empty, and now Wan Yaohuang has a total of three divisions of Gan Lichu's 6th Army (93rd Division: Gan Lichu, 118th Division: Wang Yan) and Fan Songfu's 46th Army (28th Division: Dong Zhao), which is second only to Huang Haoran's 25th Army in strength among the several group armies under the Wuhan Garrison Command.

There was strength in his pocket, and it happened that Huang Haoran fell into the encirclement of the Japanese army again and cut off the news. After repeatedly verifying the truth of Huang Haoran's possible martyrdom from Wuhan through various channels, Wan Yaohuang felt that this was his chance to turn over.

According to the regulations of the Wuhan Military Commission, if the commander-in-chief is martyred or lost, one of the deputy commanders should be replaced. Zhou Zhe, the commander of the Jiangnan District, is a gentle temper and will never come out to fight, and other generals, Wan Yaohuang will not take it seriously.

Just facing him to Wang Huanzhi now, with such domineering and self-confidence, even Wan Yaohuang himself can't remember the last time he was so high-spirited.

All in all, it feels great......

But just when Wan Yaohuang felt that he was about to succeed, a herald ran in from outside the door. The little major saw that Wang Huanzhi was surrounded by Wan Yaohuang with a bunch of generals, and he couldn't squeeze in, so he had to shout at the top of his voice:

"Emergency! Wang Vice! The main seat of the front line is urgent! ”

What the! Huang Haoran sent a telegram from the front! This...... This is different from the arranged plot......

Didn't someone in Wuhan swear that Huang Haoran had been martyred? That's the top of the government!

In an instant, the crowd in the room was like a record player with unplugged wires, and suddenly there was no sound. Wan Yaohuang was so shocked that he almost didn't stand firm, and his face immediately lost its blood.

Wang Huanzhi was like an amnesty, he walked quickly towards the heralds, and the generals in front of him were like a tide, automatically splitting to both sides.

The same voice echoed in the minds of these people: "Huang Haoran is not dead!" He's alive! ”

Although the content of the message is not yet known, many people have regretted being involved in this matter...... (To be continued.) )
