Chapter 1045 is full of loopholes

In front of the large map of the Nanchang camp headquarters, there are many generals and many foreign military advisers, and the huge map has been drawn with dense red and black arrows and various markers - the red scattered on the half of the map represents the encirclement and suppression of the army, and the black arrows in the red arrows and toothed encirclement naturally represent the Red Army, and the three black dotted lines just drawn are the predictions of the direction of the Red Army's breakthrough and troops, and the red dotted line is once the Red Army breaks through, The units of the Central Army, which were in full formation, were about to launch a line of pursuit.

It has been four days since An Yi came to Nanchang to camp, and he spends almost every day in front of the map and in the solemn and solemn conference room.

The task of disseminating war reports to reporters from various countries who came and gathered in Nanchang fell on Xu Yongchang, Ge Jingen, and Gu Zhutong, and An Yi, who the reporters liked very much, was banned by Chiang Kai-shek, and was required to analyze and predict the escape route of the Red Army at any time, as well as to optimize the situation of the whole army, and to prepare troops and choose the mode of operation for the emergency mobilization order that Chiang Kai-shek may issue at any time.

During these four days, An Yi expressed his gratitude to Alexander Great, the head of the military advisory group. Feng. Fogenhausen and the staff group of the advisory group led by him were deeply admired, and the gap between the generals of the Central Army and many advisers of the advisory group with a rigorous style and open-minded thinking was quite obvious; whether it was the analysis of the war situation or the formulation of plans, the advisers of the advisory group were meticulous in striving for perfection, the requirements for intelligence aggregation were accurate to the regimental and battalion-level units, and the scientific analysis and rigorous and realistic work attitude of working day and night formed a sharp contrast with those lieutenant generals and commanders who thought they were rich in learning but did not have many scientific means. Won the high admiration of Chinese generals, including Chiang Kai-shek.

However, Forgenhausen, the head of the advisory group, felt very strange when he saw that An Yi had not expressed his opinion from beginning to end, and his predecessor Seckert and the military advisers who are still in China have told him more than once that the most combat-effective and modern units in the squadron are the 24th Army stationed in Sichuan Province in southwest China, and the 17th Army stationed in the central and southern Hebei fronts in North China. The 100,000 soldiers of these two armies are all under the command of An Yi, China's youngest, most courageous, most talented and imaginative army lieutenant general, and the Central Army Non-commissioned Officer School, where the German army delegation went to exchange and study, was also founded by An Yi and is located in the Xufu region of Sichuan Province controlled by An Yi's army. Over the past few years, the non-commissioned officer school has continuously hired professional officers from Germany, Russia, the United States, France, and other countries who have experienced the last world war to teach at the school, and this young military academy has a good reputation in the whole of China and even the whole world, and its theoretical innovation and military practice in certain military fields have attracted the general attention of all countries in the world and have also won a great reputation for the school.

Before taking office, Fogenhausen learned a lot about the young Chinese army lieutenant general An Yi, including the close cooperation established with the German Krupp company, Siemens AG, Mercedes AG, the declining Junker aristocracy, and the giant Zeiss company in the field of optics.

An Yi's open-mindedness and far-sightedness, his emphasis on science and talent, and his growth from the Northern Expedition to the present day have left a deep impression on Forgenhausen.

From the first day he came to China, the first sight of An Yi who greeted him in Shanghai, and only now did he have the opportunity to work with this powerful and rich young general, and it stands to reason that An Yi, who is the deputy chief of the staff headquarters of the squadron, should stay at the headquarters at all times, but he is good, flying around in a plane all day long, staying abroad for a long time, not only holding important positions in the central government, but also serving as the highest local military and political chief and various committees.

At the beginning, Fugenhausen was deeply surprised that An Yi held so many positions, and after understanding the current situation and national conditions in China, he not only did not feel strange, but deeply admired the ability and strategy of the young general.

But it's a pity that An Yi always throws the specific work to the staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters and the General Headquarters, on the formal occasions in which everyone participates, he always listens silently, without saying a word, several times Chiang Kai-shek asked him to speak by name, he is also summarized in three words, what he said is very consistent with the current overall situation, there is no difference, but there is no constructive significance, it seems to be stable and calm, as if it is a *** lake that has been immersed in officialdom for many years.

But on today's special day, neither Chiang Kai-shek nor Fogenhausen let An Yi say something innocuous again, asking An Yi to comment on the defeat of the Hunan and Hubei armies. The reason is that An Yi, the Red Army on the front line of Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei is the most familiar, followed by the Red Army of Helong, which originally made an all-out attack on the front line of Sangzhi and Wuling in northern Hunan Province, suddenly turned around and disappeared westward, and when it reappeared eight days later, it had already arrived in Yinjiang County in the eastern Guizhou region, and suddenly made a force to defeat a garrison regiment of Mao Guangxiang, chairman of Guizhou, and smoothly took the Xiao Ke Regiment of the Red Army, which was surrounded by a division of He Jian's division of the Hunan Army and pursued by a division of Bai Chongxi's division of the Gui Army, out of the encirclement.

An Yi was very embarrassed, but under the blazing gaze of Chiang Kai-shek and Fogenhausen, he had to take the long-awaited baton from the colonel's staff officer in both hands, turn to the map, and begin to sum up the lesson:

"The reason why He Longbu suddenly appeared on the front line of Qiandong and quickly occupied Yinjiang County was to break the pursuit and encirclement of the 19th Division of General Li Jue of the Hunan Army and Zhou Zupei Division of the Gui Army, as well as the flank threat formed by the Qianjiang Garrison Regiment of the 25th Army of the Guizhou Army. As soon as Yinjiang City was broken, any encirclement and pursuit would lose its meaning. Next, I will make a summary inference about the thousands of miles to the south of the He Long Division, and I will first state that the inference that is about to be made is not aimed at anyone, any army, or their battle plan. ”

The generals looked at each other, and showed knowing smiles one after another, thinking that not only He Chengjun and He Jian had an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, but also Zhang Hongluan of Xiangxi, and of course your An Yi's Sichuan-Guizhou front-line garrison was also in trouble, otherwise how could He Huzi's troops quietly go south for nearly a thousand miles without being discovered? No matter how capable He Hu is, he can't fly over with wings.

Chiang Kai-shek's expression was grim, and he seemed to be indifferent to An Yi's special statement, in fact, he had already acquiesced in An Yi's handling method in his heart, otherwise once he was more serious, he would first have to punish his confidant He Chengjun and He Jian, who still needed high hopes, and then Zhang Hongluan of Xiangxi.

Half a month ago, Zhang Hongluan had no choice but to hand over the territory of several counties in northern and northeastern Guizhou back to Mao Guangxiang in Guizhou, and Mao Guangxiang, at Li Zongren's suggestion, had no choice but to negotiate with Wang Jialie, a sworn enemy who still commanded the two divisions of the 25 th Army, and tried to reach an understanding as soon as possible before the Red Sixth Army led by Xiao Ke and Ren Bishi threatened Qiandong, and to reach a cease-fire agreement with the outside world, and then discuss the distribution of their respective interests after the threat of the Red Army was eliminated. Therefore, Mao Guangxiang did not send troops to take over the defense in time after the withdrawal of the Xiangxi army, and only relied on the self-defense forces gathered by the landlords and rich gentry from all over the country to garrison the place, which was easily annihilated by Helong's Red Army and buried by no one would know.

An Yi saw Chiang Kai-shek nodding slightly, relieved, and finally raised his baton and pointed to the map:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, judging from the troop deployment on the borders of the three provinces of Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou, the route taken by the He Long Department is easy to analyze. First of all, more than 5,000 troops of He Long's division quietly sneaked out of the encirclement that the four divisions of the Hunan Army and the Hubei Army were building, and suddenly appeared on the Yinjiang River in eastern Guizhou.

"I have to say that He Huzi has done a very clever job this time, very beautiful, please take a look...... Starting from Laifeng, to the valley west of the Qianjiang River, and then crossing the inaccessible mountains between Pengshui and Youyang, plunging headlong into Yanhe County, which is not guarded by regular troops, and then turning to the southeast, unexpectedly conquering Yinjiang County, this way through the gap between the defense areas of the local security forces on the border of Sichuan and Hunan Province, it is very difficult but unexpected, even if it is done by myself, it can only reach this level, and it may not even be as good as He Long, because, in the eight days and nights of difficult sneaking, He Long's department cannot guarantee supplies at all, It was also necessary to overcome the constant injuries and illnesses of officers and soldiers who had fallen behind during the rapid march, so the significance of this battle of He Longbu was very significant, not only rescuing the Xiao Ke army in danger, but also completely breaking the balance in eastern Guizhou, northeastern Guizhou and even Guiyang.

"I dare to assert here that if the two generals Mao Guangxiang and Wang Jialie in Guizhou continue to pass the buck to each other through internal friction, the vast and mountainous area from eastern Guizhou to northern Guizhou will soon become another base area of the Red Army."

The generals nodded frequently, and Chiang Kai-shek also thought that the hidden dangers clearly pointed out by An Yi were the problems he was most worried about.

With the help of a translator, Fogenhausen understood An Yi's meaning very well and quickly asked a very real and urgent question:

"General An, we would love to hear your analysis and prediction of the future situation in Hunan, can we?"

An Yi hesitated, nodded, raised his baton, and pointed to Changsha: "I have always been worried about the defense of Changsha, General He Jian's two armies and five divisions are all distributed in northern and southern Hunan, Changsha, which seems to be the safest hinterland, but the strength is extremely empty, as long as the Red Army that rushed out of southeast Jiangxi sent a rapid attack on Changsha, it could disrupt General He Jian's two army defense lines."

"Don't think that the Red Army can't do it, in the past three years, the Red Army's fierce general Peng Dehuai has done it twice, Luo Binghui has also done it once, and the three times have made General He Jian busy, this time He Longbu was surrounded by General He Jian and General He Chengjun, quietly sneaked out, and ran nearly 1,000 kilometers in eight days without being discovered by us, which is enough to arouse our great attention.

"Therefore, the situation in Hunan is not optimistic, but under the current circumstances, the main force of our Central Army is still in the Jiangxi-Fujian battlefield, and it is difficult to divide and destroy and pursue the main force of the Red Army in a short period of time, and it can only rely on the full cooperation of General He Jian and General Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren in Guangxi."

The generals immediately became hotly discussed, and Fogenhausen approached the map, thought for a long time, and suddenly tapped twice with his hand on the place where the Red Army's Luo Binghui Regiment was marked on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders:

"It is this unit that is most likely to change the route of the march, and what I am most worried about is their uncertain whereabouts, as long as they abandon everything and fight to the death, the two defensive lines of the north and south of Hunan will be chaotic because of it. General Ahn's reminder was very timely and very reasonable. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded heavily, handed over the affairs to Ge Jingen and Gu Zhu, and called An Yi to leave the headquarters together.
