7.18 Deputy Commander of the 5th Theater of Operations

"Youchen, what do you think of the situation in Xuzhou?"

As soon as the highest authorities came up, they directly mentioned Xuzhou, coupled with Qian Dajun's reminder outside the door, Huang Haoran determined that the note given to him by the highest authorities was for the transaction between the 25th Group Army and the 5th Theater. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Haoran's troops belonged to the Central Army, and they were also a very effective and prestigious force, and the highest authorities naturally hoped that Huang Haoran, the leader of the troops, would remain "pure" in his thinking.

It is precisely because the highest authorities have high expectations of Huang Haoran that the connection between Huang Haoran and Chief Li will make the highest authorities even more intolerable!

The attitude of the highest authorities is already obvious, he does not want the 25th Army and Chief Li to get too close! This put a lot of pressure on Huang Haoran.

Chief Li has already done a lot of things for the 25th Group Army, and the three conditions put forward by Huang Haoran Chief Li have already fulfilled one and a half of them, if he obeys the arrangement of the highest authorities now and walks away with the 25th Group Army, then the friendship between Huang Haoran and Chief Li will be broken!

This is exactly what the highest authorities wanted......

If he wants to find a way out of this predicament, Huang Haoran must know how much of the matter between him and Chief Li is now in the hands of the highest authorities. The 25th Group Army is very strict in the blockade of the deal reached between Huang Haoran and Commander Li, even the division commander and the officers only know that the 25th Group Army is going to Wuhan, and the people who really know the details are Huang Haoran's old team, and there will be no mistakes, and the conversation between Huang Haoran and Commander Li uses the cipher code of the "Gui system", even if the "Military Commander" or the "Central Commander" intercepts the telegram, there is no way to decipher it, so it seems that the most likely thing is that there is a problem in the 5th Theater!

When Huang Haoran was still a small brigade commander, Minister He installed the director of the Political Department beside Huang Haoran, and a local tycoon like Chief Li would absolutely not fail to make arrangements for the "military unification" and the "central unification."

It seems that this "undercover agent" beside Chief Li is buried quite deeply! At the very least, he was able to access some of Chief Li's core secrets! It is no wonder that in history, Chief Li was always pressed to death by the highest authorities, knowing himself and knowing his opponent, and the supreme authorities who had taken advantage of it could not win against Chief Li if they wanted to......

Should we continue to pretend to be confused in front of the higher authorities, or should we make a concerted statement to the highest authorities?

Because the highest authorities were too anxious to ask, and Huang Haoran knew too little about the situation, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

In the end, Huang Haoran decided to say that he would leave half and leave half, and first probe the tone of the highest authorities, so he stood up and replied:

"Take a seat! Chief Li of the 5th Theater also approached his subordinates before, and they talked about Xuzhou, and both Commander Li and I thought that although the Japanese had temporarily stopped attacking, they would still attack Xuzhou sooner or later, and the 5th Theater should have made preparations as early as possible......"

Huang Haoran's answer is not painful, it is all about some strategies that emphasize how important Xuzhou is and how to prepare for war, and Huang Haoran has never said a word about what the highest authorities want to know about what agreement has been reached between Huang Haoran and Chief Li, and such an answer is obviously not what the highest authorities want.

So, the highest authorities decided to continue beating Huang Haoran, he interrupted Huang Haoran's words, raised his voice and said:

"Don't tell me this! I ask you now! Li Delin's recent repeated telegrams are looking for someone to do something for your troops, what is this for? Is your 25th Group Army going to go to Guangxi? Why don't you come to me if you have difficulties? What position do you put yourself in? ”

It seems that the supreme authorities have not yet figured out the agreement between Huang Haoran and Chief Li, but they have only seen Chief Li's continuous efforts to win over the 25th Group Army, and the supreme authorities have become suspicious.

If that's the case, then it's easy to do......

"Take a seat! Don't get me wrong! The reason why Li Delin did this was to pull the 25th Group Army to Xuzhou! Please rest assured! I, Huang Youchen, follow the commission wholeheartedly! Without your order, the 25th Army will never leave Anqing half a step!! Besides, how can there be any reason in this world to abandon the light and turn to the dark? ”

These words of loyalty were made by Huang Haoran on the way to Jiujiang. It's naturally catchy and loud to say now. After Huang Haoran finished speaking, he glanced at the highest authority, and found that his words were effective, and the face of the highest authority became softer.

"I have no doubt about your loyalty! It's just that Li Delin is cunning! I'm afraid he's going to make a fuss about you! O Youchen! You are now a "famous general" of the government! If you get too close to the local factions, there will be gossip! Look! These! It's all the material that hits your little report! If it weren't for me and "Madame" understanding your character, I'm afraid you would have been taken from your position! Politics is complicated! You'd better be a pure soldier! ”

Huang Haoran hastened to claim yes, saying that he had accepted the criticism of the highest authorities. But in fact, in his heart, he scoffed at what the highest authorities said! What pure military man? Isn't it just a martial artist without a brain? The highest authorities only wanted his generals to faithfully carry out their orders, but they never reviewed their own mistakes! Even a "pure" general will have his thoughts, and the refusal to carry out stupid orders is nothing more than an instinctive reaction of a person!

Seeing that Huang Haoran's attitude was "sincere", the tone of the highest authority became kind again, he first motioned for Huang Haoran to sit down, and then mentioned Xuzhou again:

"The 5th Theater has repeatedly asked the Military Commission to transfer the Central Army to Xuzhou to participate in the war, but the Military Commission has not been able to reach a consensus on this issue. You should know very well! There were many bloody battles in Songhu and Nanjing, and the losses of the Central Army were not small..... If you don't take it down and rest, it will be unsustainable! However, some people grasped this problem and spread public opinion that the government wanted to see death from the miscellaneous army and deliberately give up Xuzhou! It makes the Military Commission very difficult! If the Central Army didn't go to Xuzhou, Li Delin would really not be able to survive these three months? I think he still wants to preserve his strength! But the excuse found the head of the Military Commission! Youchen: What do you think about the situation in the 5 theater of operations? Let's get it straight! This is not the Military Commission, you can speak freely......"

In fact, this question from the highest authorities is easy to answer. According to the current strength of the troops in Chief Li's hands and the development of history, Xuzhou is firmly defended. However, due to the proper tactics of Chief Li, the Chinese army still won a great victory at Taierzhuang.

Of course, Huang Haoran definitely can't just tell the supreme authorities, if he "predicts" the victory of the Chinese army in Taierzhuang now, then in the eyes of the supreme authorities, Huang Haoran will become a great jumper!

I still have to say that half of it will be left for half, no matter what, I have to help Chief Li first, so I will treat it as a peach in return......

"Take a seat! With all due respect, the strength of the 5 theater is now very limited, and the composition of the troops is mixed. Not to mention the combat effectiveness of these miscellaneous cards, whether or not Chief Li can unify the command of these troops is a question! The fall of Xuzhou is a matter of time sooner or later! What worries me the most is that the 5 theater of operations will be defeated too quickly, so that the Central Army will not have enough time to recuperate! If the Japanese take Xuzhou and go straight to Henan and Jiangxi, then the safety of Wuhan will be in suspense! ”

Huang Haoran's words can be said to have expressed what the supreme authorities are thinking, and the reason why the supreme authorities have been hesitating on the issue of whether or not to increase troops in the 5th Theater is that they are worried that the defeat in Xuzhou will develop into a situation like Huang Haoran! If China had fought a decisive battle with the Japanese before all Soviet aid had arrived, the Chinese army would have an overall disadvantage.

The war was not only fought as a military strategy, but also as a constant test of the industrial capacity and reserve forces of the participating countries. The Ministry of Military Affairs and the Training Office have already formed a large number of recruit regiments in the rear, but the Military Commission cannot come up with enough weapons to arm these recruits!

I heard that some recruit regiments have only a few dozen old sleeve rifles in the whole regiment, and there are no light and heavy machine guns at all, and the instructors in charge of training the recruits can only let the recruits participate in the training with wooden guns.

The original intention of the highest authorities was to hear some comforting words from Huang Haoran, but what they didn't expect was that this "victorious general" on the anti-Japanese battlefield gave such a depressing answer!

The complexion of the highest authorities began to deteriorate again......

"So... I still need to help Li Delin, but the situation of the Central Army is ...... now."

These words of the supreme authorities are obviously a little inadequate, and the repeated defeats of the Chinese army in the past six months have exhausted him physically and mentally! Huang Haoranjian's highest authority was relieved, and hurriedly beat the snake with the stick, and put forward a new opinion:

"Don't worry about it.... Giving support to the 5 theater of operations, and sending reinforcements are two different things! The Central Military Commission may wish to provide some convenience to Li Delin on some minor issues. For example, the case of the reduction and establishment of the Sichuan military can be suspended, and more firearms, ammunition, and military supplies can be given to the 5th Theater... If you want the miscellaneous army to work hard in Xuzhou, you have to give them some sweetness first! Chief Li is a figure who has been crawling and rolling on the battlefield for half his life, with him sitting in Xuzhou, and then transferring some of the Central Army to strengthen the courage of the 5th Theater, if you are lucky, you may really be able to get back a few months! With time, won't the reorganization and replenishment of the troops be settled? ”

After listening to Huang Haoran's suggestion, the highest authority thought for a moment, and soon, he discovered the shortcomings:

"If you do this, won't you push the miscellaneous army under Li Delin's command? Xuzhou, at present, has concentrated more than 100,000 miscellaneous armies, the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Shandong Army! It's better if there are contradictions between them, but if they really hug each other, won't they become a new force? What should they do if they refuse to disband after the Battle of Xuzhou? What should I do if I join the 'Katsura Series'? I had to guard against ......"

Huang Haoran can be regarded as having seen the high political sensitivity of the highest authorities, when has this been? Is the highest authorities still concerned about suppressing local forces? If Little Japan quickly occupies Xuzhou and hits Wuhan, maybe the Wuhan government will become a government in exile! The idea of the highest authorities preferring foreign thieves to domestic slaves is really like Cixi in the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

Huang Haoran had to dispel this concern of the highest authorities, and then find a reason for his 25th Army to go to Xuzhou:

"That's what the commission said! This is the reason why his subordinates insisted on sending a central army to join the Xuzhou battlefield! Emboldening the ragtag army is actually secondary, and the main task of this central army should be to mix sand in the middle of the ragtag army! He, Li Delin, can buy people's hearts in Xuzhou, why can't the government? If you are obedient, we will pull him over, and if you are disobedient, you will find an opportunity to annex him! With the intervention of the Central Army, we are not afraid of these miscellaneous groups! After the battle is over, they will be transferred to the north and south, unless someone runs to the Japanese to be a puppet army, otherwise.... Can't escape the reorganization of the Military Commission! In the end, Li Delin is not busy in vain...... ”

In order for the 25th Group Army to go to Xuzhou, Huang Haoran could only give the highest authorities some ideas that lacked morality. In fact, the highest authorities in history did just that, and Tang Enbo's 20th Group Army was mixed into the sand of the 5th theater by the Military Commission, and now, Huang Haoran intends to let his 25th Group Army replace Tang Enbo's 20th Group Army.

After listening to Huang Haoran's analysis, the highest authorities seemed very happy! I have talked with the staff officers of the Central Military Commission many times these days, and none of the proposals has been able to impress the supreme authorities as much as Huang Haoran's words today, and the supreme authorities have even planned to transfer Huang Haoran to the Central Military Commission.

It's a pity that now is the time to employ people, and Huang Haoran, a fierce general, is indispensable on the frontal battlefield, so the highest authorities can only dispel the idea that he just came up with.

"In order to buy time to rest the troops, this is the only way! Now that you have an idea, it's up to you! I will let He Jingzhi hand over the official document of the suspension of the Sichuan Army's disarmament and compilation, as well as firearms, ammunition and military supplies, which will also be transported to your 25th Group Army, rather than letting Li Delin do this favor, it is better to let it be given to you! I'll give you the title of Deputy Commander of the 5th Theater of Operations, so that your words will also have more weight in front of the generals of those ragtag armies! But you have to remember that things have to be done! Xuzhou must also hold on for at least three months! Tang Enbo's 20th Army I will put in the camp, if necessary you can call! Remember... You can't let the Central Army be cannon fodder for the miscellaneous army! ”

Huang Haoran finally achieved his goal, and the final harvest even exceeded his expectations, Deputy Commander of the 5th Theater, this is a very senior position, to be able to go to Xuzhou with this title, it will be able to more directly affect the development of the Battle of Xuzhou, Taierzhuang, let this victory become more brilliant!

Next, the highest authorities asked Huang Haoran some more specific things, and Huang Haoran answered all of them one by one, and finally the highest authorities gave a few more explanations and ended the conversation.

The highest authority pressed the electric bell on the desk, Qian Dajun pushed the door and walked in, and the highest authority asked Qian Dajun to arrange for Huang Haoran to go to a villa next to him to rest, and tomorrow morning, he would have breakfast with Huang Haoran.

This is almost equivalent to the banquet of the ancient emperor, and for Huang Haoran, it is an honor.

After Qian Dajun sent Huang Haoran away, the highest authority called Lin Wei again, The highest authority took out a yellow document bag from the drawer, and then asked Lin Wei to destroy it, Lin Wei didn't dare to ask what was inside, and retreated directly, but he had a feeling that this yellow document bag should be related to Huang Haoran.

Lin Wei guessed right! The yellow file bag contained the transcription of the messages exchanged between Huang Haoran and Chief Li, and both Chief Li and Huang Haoran chose their henchmen to carry out this secret communication, which can be regarded as quite cautious, but there was always a mistake in the hundred secrets, and Chief Li never thought that the set of special passwords for the "Gui Department" he chose had been handed over to Dai Li by the undercover agents of the "Military Commander" lurking beside him three months ago, and the Military Command Sub-station in Xuzhou deciphered all the telegrams between Chief Li and Huang Haoran according to this set of codes.

Less than two hours after Huang Haoran and Chief Li concluded their negotiations, the yellow document bag was sent to the top authorities by Director Dai.

The highest authorities only believed half of what Huang Haoran said to the supreme authorities today, and although what Huang Haoran said was almost the same as the content of the telegram, the supreme authorities still did not like to have to use the means of forced questioning to understand the every move of his generals.

If it weren't for the tense situation in Xuzhou, the highest authorities really wanted to knock Huang Haoran well, and this little guy would really have more ideas......

Now the highest authorities have asked Lin Wei to burn the yellow document bag, which means that he has temporarily accepted Huang Haoran's explanation, as long as Huang Haoran can do a good job in Xuzhou, the highest authorities will selectively forget about this matter.

If Huang Haoran smashed up in Xuzhou, the highest authorities would naturally have 10,000 ways to express his dissatisfaction, as for whether there is evidence to deal with Huang Haoran, will it still be a problem?

Life and death, but only a word from the highest authorities......

***************************************************

In order to make the recruits form combat effectiveness as soon as possible and to familiarize the officers and men of the Sichuan army who had just taken refuge with the tactics of the 25 th Group Army, Fan Jie chose the most wasteful training method.

Every day, the 25th Group Army fired tens of thousands of bullets during training, and Fan Kai also ordered the instructors to take the recruits to crawl through a trench behind the shooting range every day, listening to the bullets whizzing overhead, and the timid recruits urinated in the crotch of their pants on the spot.

As for assassination and combat training, it is carried out regardless of time and occasion, as long as no one is killed, Fan Jie even instigated the soldiers in the barracks to stand up and fight in groups, the winning side is not only not responsible, but can also be rewarded, and the losing side needs to be responsible for helping the cooking class cook and maintain the firearms.

In order to ensure the consumption of training and arm recruits, Wang Huanzhi sold a large amount of Japanese-style equipment on the black market, and then exchanged for a large number of Mauser rifles and light and heavy machine guns, and he even sent people to contact the 4th Division stationed in Wuhu, and secretly made a few "weapon import" transactions with those Osaka soldiers, but no matter how Wang Huanzhi tossed, there was still a big gap in the supply of weapons and equipment for the 25th Group Army......
