7.54 Finish the 55th Army

Although Cao Fulin was very reluctant to see Huang Haoran, he had to prepare to meet Huang Haoran in his military headquarters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Commander Li had already confided to Cao Fulin in advance, saying that the 25th Group Army was very interested in Cao Fulin's 55th Army, so Cao Fulin was now a little nervous about the presence of Huang Haoran, the new deputy commander of the 5th Theater.

Cao Fulin did not tell Sun Tongxuan about Huang Haoran's desire to win him over, and the reason why Cao Fulin concealed all this was not to make his brother even more annoying.

After Chairman Han's execution, life for the Third Army began to become more and more difficult. Sun Tongxuan, who took over Han Fuqu's post, was worried all day long, for fear that Wuhan or the 5th Theater Commander's Department would find out what was wrong with him and take the opportunity to attack the Third Army.

If Sun Tongxuan knew that Huang Haoran was eyeing the 55th Army, I am afraid he would be at a loss again!

For Huang Haoran's wooing, Cao Fulin has already made his decision. As the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, Cao Fulin just wants to stay with his old colleagues such as Sun Tongxuan and Gu Liangmin, and no one in the 55th Army wants to hug their thighs! He didn't want the Third Army to follow in the footsteps of the Sichuan Army, first be dismantled, and then be divided and disintegrated by the Wuhan government.

Holding together with the 56th Army and the 12th Army and staying away from the Central Army was the consensus reached by Cao Fulin and his deputy commander Xu Wenyao.

If it weren't for the fact that Huang Haoran's position was the deputy commander of the theater, Cao Fulin would not even be willing to show up on this occasion today. The miscellaneous generals of Xuzhou all know that Huang Haoran swallowed a division of the 23rd Army Corps of the Sichuan Army in Anqing, this red man in front of the highest authorities, the sworn brother of the great military strategist Mr. Jiang Baili is not a good character!

God knows what kind of trouble it will bring to the Third Army if he offends Huang Haoran?

Thinking of this, Cao Fulin felt very hot all over his body, he unbuttoned a few buttons of his military shirt, and then fanned the wind in his arms with the palm of his hand, Xu Wenyao, the deputy commander of the 55th Army next to him, saw that Huang Haoran was so flustered before Cao Fulin arrived, and hurriedly came over and whispered to persuade:

"Military seat, the battle on the northern front of Jinpu Road is imminent, and the Theater Commander's Department has successively issued combat orders to several troops stationed near our 55th Army, at such a critical moment, Chief Li will definitely not allow Huang Haoran to act wantonly and shake the morale of the army! As long as the military seat bites to death and is unwilling to break away from the Third Army, I don't expect that Huang Haoran will not dare to use any means! ”

Cao Fulin did not comment on Xu Wenyao's words, he naturally knew that Xu Wenyao was relieved for him. But Cao Fulin also knew that if he really did what Xu Wenyao said and despised Huang Haoran too much, the final result would be unimaginable!

Who is Huang Haoran? That's a figure who is in the limelight on the battlefield of resistance against Japan and officialdom!!

How could a person who was promoted from division commander to deputy commander of the theater of operations in only half a year be an idle person!?

Cao Fulin waved his hand at Xu Wenyao, indicating that he was not frightened by Huang Haoran, and then walked back and forth in the room with his eyebrows locked.

Xu Wenyao sighed, stepped aside and did not speak again.

"Report to the military seat! Deputy Commander Huang has already arrived at the entrance of the military department! ”

An officer on duty from the military headquarters of the 55th Army walked in from the door of the house, and then stood up and saluted and opened his mouth to report, Cao Fulin stopped suddenly, turned around and waved at the officer on duty: "Quick!" Hurry up and invite the yellow sub-seat in! ”

After saying this, Cao Fulin began to tidy up his military uniform, and Xu Wenyao next to him took the first step and walked out of the house to greet Huang Haoran.

"Oops! See the sub-seat! There are many offends! I hope the sub-seat doesn't be ......! ”

As soon as Cao Fulin walked to the door of the house, he heard Xu Wenyao's voice coming in from outside the door, and then the door of the house was pushed open by the guards standing guard, and a lieutenant general officer with a steel helmet walked in.

The exquisite general's uniform and shiny military boots are the first impression Huang Haoran left on Cao Fulin. Cao Fulin hadn't seen Huang Haoran before, but he had also heard other generals talk about some things related to Huang Haoran.

In Huang Haoran's body, Cao Fulin neither saw the squeamishness of the generals of the Central Army, nor the gangsterism of the miscellaneous generals, this famous general who has achieved a lot of results on the battlefield of resistance against Japan is so young!

The young one made Cao Fulin a little jealous!

Xu Wenyao, who walked into the room behind Huang Haoran, saw that Cao Fulin was just standing in place, neither speaking nor saluting Huang Haoran, so he immediately walked to Huang Haoran's side and introduced it loudly, Xu Wenyao's voice also made Cao Fulin's train of thought return to normal:

"Bench! This is our Cao Junzuo! Military seat, this is Deputy Commander Huang of the Theater Commander's Department! ”

"Cao Fulin, the commander of the 55th Army, see Deputy Huang!"

"You're polite, Commander Cao, you and I are both soldiers, so you don't have to be so polite!"

Huang Haoran ended the scene between the two sides in the most simple and direct way, the battle of Taierzhuang was about to kick off, and he didn't have time to play an official posture here.

Cao Fulin invited Huang Haoran to sit on the upper seat, and then he himself sat on Huang Haoran's left lower hand. Xu Wenyao was busy, ordering the guards to serve tea, and placing the entourage brought by Huang Haoran. After dealing with these things, Xu Wenyao returned to the table and sat down on Huang Haoran's right hand.

The three people sitting in the chair were well aware that their time to get down to business had finally arrived!

"I don't know what advice Deputy Commander Huang has for coming to the 55th Army this time? Deputy Commander Xu and I shouldn't have made any mistakes, right? ”

Cao Fulin's question was too fake, and Huang Haoran immediately heard Cao Fulin's extraneous voice. Cao Fulin is reminding Huang Haoran that if he doesn't catch anything wrong with the 55th Army, even if Huang Haoran is the deputy commander of the 5th Theater, he can't take him Cao Fulin!

"Before I came, I heard that Commander Cao was a happy person who had something to say, why did he suddenly become so unhappy today?" Huang Haoran's words made Cao Fulin's face a little feverish, in order to hide his embarrassment, Cao Fulin pretended to pick up the tea bowl and drink water, Huang Haoran smiled, and continued: "I, Huang Haoran, don't do dark things, and naturally I won't do the things that oppress people!" Commander Cao should know that my 25th Army is a new unit that has just been set up, and there is a shortage of major generals, and I sincerely hope that Commander Cao can take the brothers of the 55th Army to develop together! I promise here first, I will not move any of the officers and soldiers of the 55th Army! It's the transfer of the whole system! As long as the 55th Army is willing to join, all the orders and joints will be handled by me! The Third Army will also be replenished with new combat units, and it will never be weakened by the departure of the 55th Army! Even the position of deputy commander of the 25th Army was reserved for Commander Cao! I don't know what Commander Cao and Deputy Commander Xu think? ”

Cao Fulin and Xu Wenyao didn't expect that Huang Haoran would choose to go straight to the point! And the conditions put forward are also quite sincere! However, they still didn't want to leave the Third Army, so Cao Fulin and Xu Wenyao decided to refuse Huang Haoran's kind invitation after making eye contact for a moment.

"Thank you Deputy Huang for your appreciation, Deputy Commander Xu and I have followed Chairman Han for many years and have received a lot of favors from Chairman Han! Now that Chairman Han is gone, what we can do is to keep the Third Army for Chairman Han. The Third Army cannot do without the 55th Army, and similarly, the 55th Army cannot do without the Third Army......"

Huang Haoran didn't let Cao Fulin finish his words, because he knew that once Cao Fulin said that he died, it would be difficult to do any more work. You must know that he still has a "big killing weapon" that he hasn't taken out! It's a failure now, and it's probably too much!

"Commander Cao, don't be too anxious to express your position, I have a letter here, and I hope that Commander Cao will make a decision after reading it!"

Saying that, Huang Haoran took out an envelope from the breast pocket of his military uniform and handed it to Cao Fulin, Xu Wenyao leaned up slightly and glanced at it, he suddenly felt that the font on the envelope was a little familiar.

Since Cao Fulin still insisted on staying in the Third Army, he didn't want to pick up the envelope in Huang Haoran's hand too much, he glanced at Xu Wenyao and signaled that Xu Wenyao could work harder and say more difficult words, so that Huang Haoran could retreat.

What Cao Fulin didn't expect was that Xu Wenyao actually opened his mouth and said: "Military seat! Let's take a look at it first! Huang Vice-Seat has said this, we can't be too unkind......"

Cao Fulin looked at Xu Wenyao with wide eyes, his eyes were full of surprise, Cao Fulin didn't understand why Xu Wenyao suddenly said such a thing, it was obviously something that was about to be solved, but now it became complicated because of Xu Wenyao's words.

"Hmm... In that case, I will follow the instructions of the sub-seat and read this letter first! ”

The expression on Cao Fulin's face quickly returned to calm, he reached out and took the letter handed to him by Huang Haoran, and he didn't forget to emphasize a sentence in his mouth, telling Huang Haoran that he was just reluctant to look at the letter first, don't expect any miracle!

After opening the envelope and hurriedly glancing at it, the expression on Cao Fulin's face froze! He didn't expect that this letter was actually written by Feng Yuxiang!

Feng Yuxiang is the old commander of Cao Fulin's old lord Han Fuqu, the predecessor of Cao Fulin's 55th Army, and also the Northwest Army under Feng Yuxiang, the more senior officers in the 55th Army have served under Feng Yuxiang, and now seeing the old commander's handwritten letter, Cao Fulin naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly sat up straight and looked carefully.

In the letter, Feng Yuxiang explained his attitude to Cao Fulin, hoping that the 55th Army could join the 25th Army and resist foreign humiliation under the command of Huang Haoran. Although Cao Fulin didn't know what means Huang Haoran used, he actually invited Feng Yuxiang, a veteran figure commensurate with the brother of the highest authority, to be a lobbyist for the 25th Group Army, but he knew that the 55th Army had to give Feng Yuxiang face.

Han Fuqu was Feng Yuxiang's general before he defected to the highest authority, and later although Han Fuyu fought back in the Central Plains War, resulting in Feng Yuxiang's defeat, but in personal feelings, Han Fuyu and Feng Yuxiang are still like father and son.

Feng Yuxiang took refuge in Mount Tai after the defeat of the Central Plains War, with only two pistol companies with him. At this time, Han Fuyu was already the chairman of Shandong Province, Song Zheyuan was the chairman of Chahar Province, and Liu Ruming was also a military commander, so the three Feng Yuxiang's old subordinates reached an agreement: Han Fuyu gave the old chief 5,000 oceans and 500 bags of flour every month; Song Zheyuan gave 5,000 oceans a month; Liu Ruming gave 3,000 oceans a month.

In addition to giving food and money, Han Fuqu often went to Mount Tai to visit Feng Yuxiang, the old chief. Once Han Fuqu came to the mountain to visit Feng Yuxiang, as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Feng Yuxiang scolding him in the house for being ungrateful, Han Fuqu knew that he must not go in at this time, so he took the sentry's gun and stood guard at the door silently, until Feng Yuxiang's anger disappeared, and said: "Han Fuyu, come in!" Han Fuqu dared to enter the house.

In 1935, Feng Yuxiang went to Nanjing to serve as vice chairman, first lived in the villa of the highest authority, Han Fuqu learned about it and quickly sent someone to pick up Feng Yuxiang, and said to Feng Yuxiang, "This is someone's house, my mansion in Nanjing has been repaired, that is our own house!" ”

It can be seen that the relationship between Han Fuqu and Feng Yuxiang is quite deep, after Han Fuqu's death, Sun Tongxuan and Cao Fulin also had the idea of returning the Third Army to Feng Yuxiang, but due to the repeated wars, the Military Commission has a very close eye on the Third Group Army, and they have not been able to put this idea into practice, and now since Feng Yuxiang opened his mouth to hand over the 55th Army to Huang Haoran, Cao Fulin decided to do this favor.

It's just for Chairman Han, but it's a matter of heart......

After reading Feng Yuxiang's handwriting, Cao Fulin handed the letter to Xu Wenyao, who was sitting opposite, and he noticed that Xu Wenyao had just glanced at the letter, and his body immediately trembled obviously! No need to ask, Xu Wenyao was also shocked by the letter in front of him!

When Han Fuqu followed Feng Yuxiang to fight, Xu Wenyao was just a small battalion commander, and he could only look at Feng Yuxiang from a distance when the Northwest Army was performing in the past!

At that time, Xu Wenyao regarded Feng Yuxiang as the "god of war", and he turned several military pamphlets issued by Feng Yuxiang to the officers and soldiers, and there were Feng Yuxiang's own inscriptions on the title pages of those pamphlets.

Xu Wenyao only glanced at it just now, and found that the letter in Huang Haoran's hand was very likely to be from Feng Yuxiang's handwriting.

Now that he saw the whole letter, Xu Wenyao immediately judged that this letter was definitely not a forgery, and after reading it, Xu Wenyao carefully folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope, and then looked up and said to Cao Fulin:

"When Chairman Han was alive, he said that if there was an opportunity, he would reorganize the Northwest Army and return it to Commander Feng. Now that Chairman Han is gone, Chief Feng has spoken again, and our 55th Army will be handed over to Deputy Huang! ”

Cao Fulin nodded heavily, and finally added: "Even so, we still have to tell Sun Tongxuan to ......"

Huang Haoran saw that Cao Fulin and Xu Wenyao were finally relieved and expressed their willingness to join the 25th Group Army, so he immediately decided to strike while the iron was hot. He retrieved Feng Yuxiang's handwritten letter from Xu Wenyao's hand and put it back in his pocket, and then said with a smile: "Since Commander Cao and Deputy Commander Xu have agreed to join the 25th Group Army with the 55th Army, then I can apply to the Military Commission for an order!" It's all for the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, and I think Commander Sun must be able to understand it. I didn't mean to embarrass Commander Cao and Deputy Commander Xu, but I really have to use the 55th Army next, and I can't wait......"

Cao Fulin and Xu Wenyao exchanged a few words, then they both stood up and hugged their fists at Huang Haoran, and said loudly: "Listen to the arrangement of the sub-seat!" ”

Huang Haoran got up and laughed, he stretched out his hands and patted Cao Fulin and Xu Wenyao on the shoulders vigorously, and then said: "From today onwards, we are all our own people!" General Cao! General Xu! I, Huang Haoran, will definitely not disappoint Chief Feng, and I will definitely let the 55th Army, a strong force of the Northwest Army, shine on the battlefield of resistance against Japan! ”

Two hours later, Sun Tongxuan called back to say that he agreed to the 55th Army leaving the Third Army to join the 25th Army, and that night, the Military Commission sent the order of the 55th Army to Xuzhou!

After getting the order of the Military Commission, the matter of the 55th Army joining the 25th Group Army was a certainty, and after the satisfied Huang Haoran and Cao Fulin and Xu Wenyao said goodbye, they got on the truck and returned to Xuzhou.

When Huang Haoran came to the 55th Army, he only brought a guard platoon and a few officers from the secret service, and when he returned, Cao Fulin took the initiative to send a reinforced battalion to follow the convoy to escort him.

Huang Haoran, who was sitting in the cab, took out Feng Yuxiang's letter from his pocket again, lit it with a match, and the beating flames quickly burned a few pieces of stationery, and then Huang Haoran opened the car window and threw all the ashes out.

Sitting in the cab of the truck with Huang Haoran were two officers from the Secret Service, one of whom was driving the car and the other was protecting Huang Haoran's safety.

Huang Haoran took out a cigarette and lit it and took a puff, and then asked faintly: "The errand in Tianjin, you did a very good job, did the process go well?" Are there any injuries? ”

The secret service officer next to him replied in a low voice: "Back to the commander's words, two brothers were killed and four were injured, and the Japanese later seemed to know that we got something from Cao Kun, and the devil secret service in Tianjin looked for us everywhere like crazy, but fortunately, Director Xu got the news in advance and informed our people to withdraw." ”

Huang Haoran exhaled a puff of smoke, then extinguished more than half of the cigarette on the glass, and threw it out of the car window vigorously;

"So it should be that the Japanese have also arranged manpower around Cao Kun, you are still too careless!"

"Yes! The commander taught the lesson! ”

"Remember, on the intelligence front, there can be no carelessness! Otherwise, it will cost you your life! The pensions of those who died in the Tianjin operation were paid in three levels, and the wounded and evacuated were promoted to one level! What you have done this time has brought great benefits to the group army! I'm not like you Director Xu to pick the door! ”

When Xu Xinghua was mentioned, the corners of Huang Haoran's mouth curled slightly, and Huang Haoran was still very satisfied with the performance of Xu Xinghua, the head of the secret service department.

It was only thanks to the secret service that he got Cao Kun's handwritten letter from Tianjin, and Huang Haoran was able to get Feng Yuxiang's help to come to Cao Fulin's 55th Army smoothly, and forcibly get the 55th Army and the 55th Army to vote willingly, which are completely different concepts!

Just like Feng Yuxiang and Han Fuqu, Cao Kun and Feng Yuxiang also have a deep origin......

In the 28th year of Guangxu, Yuan Shikai established the Beiyang Military and Political Department in Baoding and began to organize and train a new army on a large scale. Baoding became the army training center of the country at that time. In April of the same year, Feng Yuxiang switched to Yuan Shikai and became a regular soldier in the left post of the left team of the third battalion of the Wuwei Right Army.

In the thirtieth year of Guangxu, Feng Yuxiang's Wuwei Right Army was reorganized into the "Sixth Town" of Beiyang and was under the control of Duan Qirui. With the elite "Beiyang Six Towns", Yuan Shikai successfully won the fruit of the Xinhai Revolution - the president of the Republic of China. Lu Jianzhang appointed Feng Yuxiang as the battalion commander and ordered him to recruit and train new soldiers, which was the beginning of Feng Yuxiang's life to create his own army.

In 1922, Feng Yuxiang, who had only been supervising Henan for five months, received a dismissal order from the Beiyang government and ordered him to return to Beijing to serve as an army inspection envoy. Transferring Feng Yuxiang to Beijing was Wu Peifu's idea. Wu Peifu also wanted to expel Feng Yuxiang from the capital in the name of promoting him as the "Protector of Kulundu".

At this time, the direct group in charge of the Beiyang regime had split into three factions: Tianjin, Bao (Cao Kun), and Luo (Wu Peifu). Before returning to Beijing, Feng Yuxiang first went to Baoding to see Cao Kun, and when they met, he knelt on the ground and cried. Cao Kun hurriedly asked him what happened, and Feng Yuxiang said: "Wu Yushuai is inconsiderate of me, which makes me blame at every turn, and I laugh and laugh." It wasn't until Cao Kun repeatedly assured him that Feng Yuxiang left peacefully.

Since then, Feng Yuxiang owes Cao Kun a favor, and although Feng Yuxiang forced Li Yuanhong to leave and Zhang Shaozeng's cabinet to resign with "asking for salary", resignation and other actions, he also overthrew Cao Kun's bribery government with his own hands! At best, it can only be regarded as a balance of merits and demerits.

Therefore, Feng Yuxiang owed Cao Kun this favor until 1938.

When the people sent by Huang Haoran took out Cao Kun's letter and asked Feng Yuxiang to help Huang Haoran, Feng Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief on the spot.

He can finally return this favor!

This is the strange and complicated friendship between the warlords of the Republic of China, yesterday they fought to the death on the battlefield, and today they can be brothers, just like Wu Peifu has to respectfully call Duan Qirui after defeating Duan Qirui's government, Feng Yuxiang personally ruined Cao Kun's political career, but still regarded Cao Kun as his commander.

The final result was that Feng Yuxiang replaced Cao Kun's favor, Huang Haoran got the 55th Army, and Cao Fulin avoided the tragedy he was about to encounter, which can be said to be a great joy for all!

Huang Haoran's move in Tianjin a few months ago has finally demonstrated its great value in Xuzhou! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
