7.15 Appointment

"Brother Jing! Could it be that there are no troops that can be transferred to Xuzhou? ”

As one of the members of the Military Commission, how could "Xiao Zhuge not know the deployment of troops in the surrounding areas of the 5th Theater of Operations"?

There are currently two troops that can immediately go to Xuzhou to participate in the war, and they are both group armies! One of them is Anqing's 25th Group Army, and the other is the direct subordinate troops of the Military Commission, Tang Enbo's 20th Group Army, all of which are relatively elite troops!

It's a pity that the two armies of the highest authorities are unwilling to move!

In the face of "Xiao Zhuge " questioning, Minister He cast a gaze for help to the highest authorities, but the highest authorities did not give Minister He a response, and even did not even mean to help block "Little Zhuge "!

Minister He is very familiar with this attitude of the highest authorities, and after the "He-Mei Agreement" was exposed, the attitude of the highest authorities is now, and this is to ask Minister He to carry the black pot again!

"Minister Bai! I don't know much more about this matter of the Military Commission than you Bai Jiansheng...... It is true that there are a few troops resting near the Fifth War Zone, but most of them are remnants of the army withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield! Where else can there be war? Sending these troops to Xuzhou wouldn't hurt Li Delin! ”

In the end, Minister He chose the thick thigh hug of the highest authority, and he deliberately described Huang Haoran and Tang Enbo's troops as a ruined journey, which was clearly prevaricating "Little Zhuge ". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

If Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army can barely have anything to do with the broken journey in Minister He's mouth, Tang Enbo's 20th Group Army can't be reminiscent of the word broken journey at all.

Town's 20th Army was a new corps formed only six months earlier, under the direct command of the Military Council, under the command of the 13th, 52nd, and 85th armies and an independent cavalry regiment.

Tang Enbo concurrently served as the commander of the 13th Army, under the jurisdiction of the 110th Division (division commander Zhang Zhen); Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army, under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Division (Division Commander Zheng Dongguo), the 25th Division (Division Commander Zhang Leiming); Wang Zhonglian's 85th Army was under the jurisdiction of the 4th Division (Division Commander Chen Daqing) and the 89th Division (Division Commander Zhang Xuezhong). Most of the division-level cadres of the 52nd Army and the 85th Army are students of the Whampoa Military Academy, equipped with a certain number of field artillery, heavy artillery, and tanks, and are fully equipped with guns.

Moreover, the 20th Army has not participated in any battles so far, which means that now Tang Enbo has 5 fully equipped infantry divisions in his hands!

Such an elite group army was actually dubbed "Broken Journey" in Minister He's mouth, and this lie was a bit too unwilling!

"Xiao Zhuge " obviously didn't intend to let Minister He go like this, he saw that Minister He had already made it clear that the carriage and horses wanted to maintain the supreme authority, so he also let go of the last bit of concern in his heart and began to press Minister He step by step!

Didn't Minister He come up with a suitable force? "Little Zhuge doesn't mind reminding Minister He!"

"Xiao Zhuge " did not attack Tang Enbo's 20th Group Army from the beginning, he knew that Tang Enbo's weight in the minds of the highest authorities, and there were not many unharmed Central Army troops like the 20th Group Army, and the highest authorities still expected Tang Enbo to decorate his faΓ§ade, how could he easily let go? "Xiao Zhuge "'s" target today is actually the troops of Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army and several miscellaneous armies.

Especially Huang Haoran's troops, "Little Zhuge " is determined to win! This is also the request made by Chief Li to "Little Zhuge "!

"Xiao Zhuge " adopted a roundabout tactic, he first asked some scattered troops, and then waited for Minister He to answer them one by one. "Xiao Zhuge " paid great attention to concealing his true intentions when asking questions, and he deliberately reported the numbers of the local troops and the central army at intervals in order to confuse Minister He's sight. It is also thanks to Minister He, an old Jianghu, that he has some Taoism, and he has accurately distinguished which troops are the Central Army and which troops are miscellaneous, and at the same time, he has also woven all kinds of reasons for these Central Army troops to resolve the questions of "Xiao Zhuge " one by one.

"Xiao Zhuge " was busy for a long time, and he only asked for two divisions of miscellaneous troops from Minister He. The highest authorities saw that "Xiao Zhuge " failed to stump Minister He, and his precious Central Army was even more unharmed, so they took advantage of the gap between "Xiao Zhuge " to ask questions and praised Minister He very vaguely.

It stands to reason that Minister He should be very happy, but in fact, the current Minister He is getting more and more frightened! He found that he seemed to be walking into the trap set for him by "Xiao Zhuge " one by one!

Up to now, "Xiao Zhuge " still has not mentioned Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army and Tang Enbo's 20th Group Army, such a situation is very abnormal! "Xiao Zhuge " even mentioned the security brigades in several places just now, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye to these two major group armies!

There must be some trick!

Minister He continued to answer the body temperature of "Xiao Zhuge ", while secretly wondering in his heart whether he had missed something, and just when he was about to think of some clues, "Xiao Zhuge " suddenly went straight to the point and mentioned Tang Enbo's 20th Group Army!

"Brother Jing! Tang Enbo's 20th Army, can it move!? ”

Minister He replied almost subconsciously:

"No! Of course not! The 20 Army is a direct subordinate unit of the Military Commission! No, let's move to the front line now, right? The camp also needs to be defended by troops! ”

"Can't really move?"

"Xiao Zhuge " doesn't seem to be giving up, Minister He put his heart sideways, and he simply went scoundrel to the end, he said to "Little Zhuge ": "The 20th Group Army can't move!" Jiansheng! You'd better think about what other options you have? ”

"Why can't you move? Just because Townenbo's troops were the elite of the Central Army? Good steel should be used on the blade! Brother Jing, you really should learn the school committee!! Bloody war in East China! Teach the Corps! Mechanic! Central Army! Throw it all in! 5. The theater of war could not be transferred to Tang Enbo, is it because Xuzhou is not as important as Nanjing? ”

These words of "Xiao Zhuge " are clearly praising the highest authorities, but in fact they are indeed heart-wrenching! The deep meaning of "Xiao Zhuge " is to say that the reason why the supreme authorities are willing to put all their elite troops into the East China battlefield is because it is the foundation of the supreme authorities. And Xuzhou is just a city in northern Jiangsu! That's why the troops gathered in the 5 theaters will all be miscellaneous!

It only took a few seconds for Minister He to understand the voice of "Xiao Zhuge ", he was very surprised by the performance of "Xiao Zhuge " today, Tang Enbo is also a small faction leader in the Central Army, and the backer behind him is the highest authority! The words of "Little Zhuge " are simply a hornet's nest! Aren't you afraid that the highest authorities will give him small shoes in the future?

The highest authorities did not stand up to answer the question of "Xiao Zhuge ", but his face showed signs of cloudiness and gloom, Minister He understood that he had better end this chaotic war with "Xiao Zhuge as soon as possible", in case "Xiao Zhuge " continued to speak freely, maybe the highest authorities would be angry with him He Jingzhi!

No matter how poor "Xiao Zhuge is", he is also the number two person in the "Gui family", and the highest authorities will not be able to help him for a while, but Minister He is different, he, the Minister of Military Affairs, has to rely on the support of the highest authorities, once the highest authorities are unhappy, Minister He will definitely not have a good life!

Therefore, after discovering the unhappiness of the highest authorities, Minister He launched a fierce counterattack against "Xiao Zhuge ".

"The position of the 20 Army is quite important! That's why such an elite is put there! Now it's a national war of resistance! You can't just keep your eyes on the 5 war zones! I know that Li Delin has the grace of knowing Jiansheng! But you can't stuff all the troops with combat effectiveness into Xuzhou! What should I do if others are all transferred? The situation in the 1st and 2nd war zones is no easier than in the 5 theaters! We still have to keep some combat-ready troops! ”

Minister He's snatching of the white is a half-truth, if it is an ordinary character, I am afraid that he has been pressed to death. It's a pity! Minister He's opponent today is "Xiao Zhuge "!

Suddenly pushed Tang Enbo's troops to the cusp, this is just a means of "Xiao Zhuge ", he is waiting for Minister He's words now, "Xiao Zhuge " wants Minister He to leave the 20th Group Army by any means, so that Minister He has no excuse to detain Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army again!

When Minister He made up his mind to fight a decisive battle with "Xiao Zhuge in front of the highest authorities", "Xiao Zhuge " suddenly chose to retreat and open up another battlefield.

"In that case, Towne's troops will not move! After all, the safety of the camp is also very important! Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army is still in Anqing, right? Isn't it too wasteful for such an iron army to belong to neither the 5 or the 1 theater, nor to the direct administration of the Military Commission? I think I'll transfer Huang Haoran to Xuzhou! It can also make the Japanese scared and afraid! ”

Minister He now finally understands! It turned out that so many things that "Xiao Zhuge had done before" were just a foreshadowing for the transfer of the 25th Group Army! Li Delin is still thinking about Huang Haoran! It's also to blame Minister He for being dizzy just now! I just looked at the face of the highest authorities and kept the 20th Group Army, but I forgot what Li Delin had asked him to do before!

From the beginning to the present, what the 5th theater wants is Huang Haoran's troops! It has never changed!

"This.... This ...... "Things are changing so fast that Minister He can't keep up with the rhythm." Of course, "Xiao Zhuge " will not miss this opportunity to pursue the victory, and his words have begun to become sharp again!

"You won't let the 20th Group Army be transferred, and you won't be transferred to the 25th Group Army that has just been formed! Minister Ho! What does this mean exactly? Could it be that the 5th war zone is really so insignificant? Commission! If Minister He is so embarrassed by the 5th war zone, it is not forcing Degong to learn from Han Xiangfang! ”

Finally, "Little Zhuge " found a flaw...... Minister He took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, to the point where it seems that only the highest authorities can answer the question of "Xiao Zhuge ".

"Jiansheng! You temper, you need to change! Respect is nothing but facts! Where's what you said! It is not impossible to transfer the 25th Group Army, but Huang Haoran's troops suffered serious losses in Nanjing, and it is said that it is a group army, but in fact it is only half an army's strength! It's just rushed out of Wuhu again! If you want to transfer him to Xuzhou, you have to discuss it with him! The Military Commission also needs to understand the actual situation of the 25 th Group Army! You can't be blind...... As for Tang Enbo's troops, it's not that they don't give it to Li Delin! The camp is within the range of the 5th war zone, and when it's time to use Townenbo, I will definitely let him go! Xuzhou is now the top priority in the war against Japan! Don't have any ideas! Solidarity! What is most needed at this time is solidarity! ”

"Xiao Zhuge " saw that the highest authorities finally relented, so he chose Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and Qian Dajun announced the dissolution of the meeting, and in the end only "Xiao Zhuge " and Minister He were left.

"Xiao Zhuge " and Minister He followed the highest authority to the small meeting room, and before they could sit down, Qian Dajun sent a telegram.

After reading the telegram, the highest authorities' faces turned pale, and "Xiao Zhuge " and Minister He didn't know what was going on, so they could only be anxious beside them.

This telegram was handed over by Yan Xishan, and the object of his complaint was the 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army, which was transferred to the north to participate in the War of Resistance in the Second World War Zone.

The Sichuan army, which has been living in Sichuan for decades, wants to go out of Sichuan to resist the war, not to mention outsiders, even the Sichuan army themselves feel very fresh.

For decades, there have been too few opportunities for the Sichuan army to really fight Sichuan, and the paradise-like Sichuan Basin has nourished these Sichuan officers and soldiers, and many people are unwilling to leave Sichuan even if they die of old age. The officers of the Sichuan army only cared about supporting the soldiers and enjoying themselves. The hard-earned taxes of the Sichuan people have been turned into fertile land and villas for wives and concubines in their hands, and the real use of them for purchasing firearms and training troops is extremely limited. The guns in the hands of the Sichuan army were quite backward, and even many of them were locally made "singles". Fight a pheasant and a hare to deal with, in front of the iron armor and heavy artillery of the modern Japanese army, such a firearm is simply a bunch of burning sticks!

The perennial defense of Sichuan made this army rarely participate in battles, so discipline was lax and morale was low. In the final analysis, the Sichuan army was nothing more than Liu Xiang's guard to rule Sichuan, a bargaining chip with the highest authorities.

"Seven? After the outbreak of the Seventh" incident, when troops from all over the country rushed to the battlefield of resistance against Japan, the Sichuan troops stationed in the distant and quiet Sichuan were also stirred up by the pride of the Chinese in their chests. Although Sichuan Provincial Chairman Liu Xiang is famous throughout the country for his attempts to protect himself and to support his troops for self-respect, he is absolutely unwilling to leave an excuse for the highest authorities to clean up the Sichuan army in the matter of resisting Japan. So Liu Xiang gave an order, and 100,000 Sichuan soldiers wore straw sandals and walked out of Sichuan in single clothes.

Deng Xihou's 22nd Army on the North Road was assigned to the Second World War Zone, and soon they entered the harsh winter of the North. The Sichuan army has not yet entered the battlefield, but it first encountered the test of nature. In the cold and hunger, no one complained, no one cried bitterness. If anyone shouts to go back to Sichuan, he will immediately attract countless pairs of white eyes and a lot of ridicule: Something that has no interest, go back, don't embarrass the Sichuan people.

The Sichuan army went against the tide in the rout of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army and came to the anti-Japanese front line in Shanxi. The harshness of nature did not convince these shrewd and short Sichuan men, but the hearts of the people in the world made them feel cold. The Sichuan army went out of Sichuan, and it was not as good as the proud Central Army of the highest authorities, and it was trucks and manpower to transport military supplies. Their military supplies had to be dealt with on the spot, and no one cared about the replacement and replenishment of guns and ammunition. The 22nd Army had to first find food for itself and clothes to wear. When faced with the disdainful gazes of the Central Army, the pride of the sky, and the local emperor Jin Suijun, they felt like beggars. In the cold eyes of the rich man in front of him stretched out his hand to beg.

The Sichuan army was finally enraged. As long as they could get food and clothing, they couldn't care about so many rules, and with the connivance of the officers, the Sichuan army bought and looted along the way. When retreating, when he encountered an armory on the road, he directly smashed open the big lock and replenished supplies without authorization. For a time, the 22nd Group Army was defeated and disturbed by itself, causing a miasma in the whole of Shanxi.

The Sichuan army tossed like this, and Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second World War Zone and the real emperor of Shanxi, was anxious!

In the telegram sent to the highest authorities, he complained that the Sichuan army was not enough to resist Japan, disturbed the people, and was simply a group of bandits! Please ask the highest authorities to order the Sichuan army to leave immediately, and the World War II zone cannot afford to feed them.

With the original intention of the highest authorities, he really wanted to clean up this local miscellaneous team. But now that it is the time to employ people, it is really inappropriate to let such a large force of the Sichuan army not be used. After thinking about it, the highest authority still decided to swallow this breath, and he said to Qian Dajun, the director of the chamberlain:

"The second war zone refused to ask for it, so transfer them to the first war zone, and ask Chief Cheng if he wanted to see the first war zone."

Qian Dajun called Cheng Qian directly, and "Xiao Zhuge " sitting on the sofa finally knew why the highest authorities were angry, the 22nd Group Army also had tens of thousands of men and horses, "Little Zhuge " really hoped that Cheng Qian would not accept this army, so that he could ask the highest authorities to transfer the 22nd Group Army to Xuzhou!

"Xiao Zhuge " brother Li Chang has always believed that there are no unusable soldiers in the world, only unusable generals, the Sichuan army, is better than a scarecrow, right?

Heaven is as people wish, and when he heard that it was the Sichuan army on the phone, he immediately felt like he had encountered a flood beast, and he refused without waiting for Qian Dajun to finish speaking:

"Don't, don't. Even Yan Laoxi doesn't want it, you still push it to me, I don't want this kind of rotten army. ”

Seeing that Qian Dajun hung up the phone with some embarrassment, "Xiao Zhuge " knew that most of the things he was thinking about just now had a door......

The highest authorities were a little unhappy when they held a meeting just now, but now when they hear Qian Dajun say this, they can't help but be furious! He got up from his chair with a "rub", took two quick steps in the room, waved his hand and shouted:

"Bring them back, all of them back. Niang Xipi, let them continue to be called kings and emperors in Sichuan. These warlords who mislead the country and the people. ”

Such a good opportunity, "Xiao Zhuge " will never miss it, he stood up and spoke to the highest authorities:

"Since the First War Zone doesn't want the Sichuan Army, why don't I call Chief Li in Xuzhou and ask if the Fifth War Zone wants to ......?"

The supreme authorities' statement that they want to transfer the Sichuan army back to Sichuan is nothing more than an angry remark, and letting the Sichuan army continue to return to Sichuan to claim the king and hegemony is absolutely intolerable to the supreme authorities!

Sooner or later, the Japanese will attack Wuhan, and the highest authorities hope to build Sichuan into a large rear of the War of Resistance as soon as possible, and in his plan, Sichuan can only have the existence of the Central Army!

After this phone call from "Xiao Zhuge ", the Military Commission issued an order to the 22nd Group Army to go to the Fifth Theater......
