readx; "Who asked him to order a retreat, he dared to order a retreat without authorization, did he still take me seriously!" In Kunming's former governor's mansion and now the new Republic of China's prime minister's mansion, Tang Jiyao is furious, and at this time it is already in chaos, and several blue and white porcelains have become a puddle of debris on the ground.

After slamming a white jade paperweight from the Tianbao years to the ground with a wave of his hand, Tang Jiyao looked at the group of people below who didn't dare to gasp, and the gloomy face changed several times, Tang Jiyao said fiercely: "What are you still doing here, is it possible that you still think that I can't keep food?" ”

At this time, the group of talents below is relieved and quickly retreated, Rao is usually Tang Jiyao treats his subordinates with the necessary kind attitude of the superior, and sometimes it is possible to make some intimate moves in order to win people's hearts, but as soon as Tang Jiyao loses his temper, it is completely different from usual.

Tang Jiyao has reason to be angry, although he already knew earlier that the battle situation in Changsha was not going well, but he still hoped in his heart that the guards on the front line could win, even if he couldn't achieve the goal of eating the tenth division in Changsha, but at least he had to hold Changsha, only by holding Changsha, then Hunan could hold it, and if Hunan held it, his Yunnan and Guizhou provinces would be safe and sound. In all of Tang Jiyao's strategic deployments, the purpose is already quite clear, that is, to try to block the southward pace of the Nationalist Army in Hunan, and Lu Rongting is still blocking the westward pace of the Nationalist Army in Guangxi, then the foundation of the Yunnan Army, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, will not be affected by the war, even if the consumption of fighting in Hunan and Guangxi is larger, but if the war does not affect Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, he Tang Jiyao will always be able to replenish supplies and troops to the front line with energy.

It was this strategic concept that allowed him to unite with Lu Rongting, and even took the initiative to let Lu Rongting's Gui army withdraw from Hunan to part of Guangxi, so that the main force of the Gui army was in Guangxi and the southern part of Hunan, while the Dian army was responsible for the defense of central and northern Hunan such as the Changsha Campaign, and the Changsha direction was the main area of the Nationalist Army's attack, and the Nationalist Army in the Guangdong direction added up to only 20,000 or 30,000 people. Therefore, in the battle between the Protector and the Nationalist Army, the Dian Army undertook the main combat mission.

In order to carry out the Changsha Campaign, the Dian army invested as many as 150,000 troops in the central and northern regions of Hunan centered on Changsha, but although the Dian army of this scale achieved a great advantage in strength at the beginning, but when the Nationalist Army slowed down the first day, as the main force of the Nationalist Army slowly arrived in Hunan, the strength formed by the Protector [***] in the early stage gradually disappeared, from the beginning of six or seven times the strength advantage to two or three times, and then until now the strength of the two sides is almost the same.

Before the Nationalist army launched a full-scale counteroffensive in early November, the Nationalist army had already gathered up to 100,000 troops around Changsha and northern Hunan, and the frontal guards [***] were only 1340,000. When the Nationalist Army launched a full-scale counteroffensive, the Protector [***] basically could not occupy any advantage in troops, on the contrary, because of the qualitative gap, the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides was huge.

In fact, if the Nationalist Army just wants to capture Changsha, it doesn't take much, basically the four divisions that arrived in Changsha in the early stage are enough to take Changsha, but the Nationalist Army has not moved, and continues to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, and finally formed a scale of up to 100,000 people, in order to be able to annihilate the main force of the [***] surname at one time.

The difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides was so great that the Nationalist Army launched a full-scale counteroffensive and could not resist it within a few days, and finally the connection collapsed on a large scale, although Tang Jiyao sent several telegrams in one day asking the soldiers at the front to hold Changsha and ensure the strategic security of Hunan. However, Xie Ruyi, the front-line commander of the guard, saw the danger of being completely surrounded by the protector in Changsha, so he gave the order to break through regardless of Tang Jiyao's opposition.

Xie Ruyi's breakthrough was relatively successful at the beginning, and the semi-encirclement of the protector [***] retreated dozens of kilometers at once, but the opposite national army was not bad, so a comprehensive pursuit was carried out, and after encircling and annihilating the 17th Division in Changsha City, it surrounded and annihilated the remnants of the 16th Division in the northwest suburbs of Changsha, while the 9th Division marched lightly around the west side of the breakout and broke through the [***], and once again stopped the main force of the [***] that broke through 50 kilometers west of Changsha. On that day, the Ninth Division received a direct order from the General Staff, asking them to stop the escape of the main force of the escort [***], and at that time, the Ninth Division was faced with the escort [***] who was bent on running away, Xie Ruyi did not hesitate to command the troops to launch a comprehensive attack, and even the steps of the fire test were avoided.

As a result, the Ninth Division was under great pressure, and the casualties increased rapidly, but the Ninth Division was the trump card unit of the National Army known for daring to fight in the past two years, Zuo Yugang once again did not disappoint Chen Jingyun, you must know that the Ninth Division at that time in order to rush to the front of the guard [***] to stop, but did not carry heavy weapons, the whole army marched lightly to be able to rush to the front of the guard [***] through continuous rapid marches in one day, without the support of heavy firepower, the Ninth Division at that time only relied on the temporary air force support, It was a very hard fight.

However, although the Ninth Division suffered many casualties, it successfully broke through Xie Ruyi and blocked the main force of more than 80,000 for 12 hours, and then the main force of the Nationalist Army surrounded it again.

This time Xie Ruyi did not have the good luck of a few days ago, although he tried his best to break through the encirclement of the Nationalist Army again, and in fact, the Nationalist Army could not form a too tight encirclement because of the lack of troops, so when the Protector [***] decided to disperse and break through, he still ran out of tens of thousands of people, but this time the Nationalist Army left the 19th Division of the Dian Army and successfully encircled and annihilated.

In less than ten days, the two main divisions of the Dian army were annihilated one after another, and most of the more than 100,000 troops that the Dian army had invested in Hunan were annihilated, and now only more than 40,000 people have escaped, plus more than 10,000 Dian troops in northern Hunan. Of the 150,000 troops that the Dian army has invested in Hunan, only 50,000 remain.

When the news of the fiasco in Changsha came back to Kunming, the people immediately panicked, and on the same day, several officials of the New Republic of China who had been appointed for a short time resigned, and then went straight to Shanghai, Sun Wen was also anxious, and after seeing Tang Jiyao, he found that Tang Jiyao was much calmer than he imagined, and immediately asked: "Premier Tang, what should the situation be now!" ”

Although Sun Wen is the president of the new Republic of China, even Sun Wen himself knows that the core of the new Republic of China is Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting, and Sun Wen is just a political need, of course, Tang Jiyao has Tang Jiyao's mind, Sun Wen also has Sun Wen's mind, in Sun Wen's opinion, as long as he has a name after returning to China, and then slowly develops the armed forces that really belong to the revolutionaries, although he has different political views from Chen Jingyun and the two still scold each other for being traitors, However, Sun Wen was very interested in the organizational model of the Kuomintang and the Nationalist Army that Chen Jingyun had developed. Therefore, intentionally or unintentionally, in addition to the difference in political concepts, the organizational structure of the Kuomintang after Sun Wen's reorganization was basically similar to that of the Kuomintang Party, and Sun Wen also repeatedly demanded the establishment of an armed force that truly belonged to the Kuomintang.

However, all this has not had time to unfold, the protection [***] is defeated on the Hunan front, not only defeated but also lost troops, and suddenly lost more than 100,000 troops, directly causing the Tang and Lu coalition to lose more than half, which is no longer a few words that can be described by hurting the bones, but all of a sudden it is directly abolished nearly half of the Tang and Lu coalition forces.

What is interesting is that because most of the troops lost in the Battle of Changsha were the Dian army, and the Gui army only suffered 10,000 or 20,000 casualties, so after the Battle of Changsha, the comparison of the strength of the two families turned out to be about the same, about 100,000 people.

Tang Jiyao, as a member of the family, naturally knew his own affairs, and after seeing Sun Wen ask this, he said: "The top priority now is to hold the Huaihua line, as long as this line is guarded, my Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are still safe." ”

Speaking of this, he was silent for a while and then continued: "Tomorrow I will take the 20th Division to Guiyang!" ”

Tang Jiyao also didn't care about staying in Kunming and fighting for power and profit with Sun Wen and other revolutionaries, and the focus now was to block the national army, and if it couldn't be stopped, everything would be over. As for the security of Yunnan after he took away the 20th Division in Kunming, there is no need to worry too much, although there will be no regular field troops in Yunnan at that time, there will still be a large number of local troops.

At present, the situation in all provinces is basically the same, that is, in addition to the main field troops, there are also a large number of local garrison regiments with the surname of the troops, although these troops are not useful in the war, but to maintain local law and order, it is more than enough to suppress the rebellion of the revolutionaries, and the commander of the Kunming garrison is a close confidant of Tang Jiyao, and with them Sun Wen in Kunming, he will not be able to turn the sky upside down.

When Tang Jiyao was preparing to lead the last strategic reserve force to Guizhou in an attempt to block the advance of the Nationalist Army, Lu Rongting was also not having a good time in Guangxi.

The current situation in Guangxi is also not good, although the Gui army did not invest too many troops in Hunan, but also invested 30,000 or 40,000 troops before and after, which has occupied a small half of the main force of the Gui army, for which Lu Rongting maintained a strategic defensive posture in Guangxi, and deployed all the remaining troops of the Gui army in Nanning and Wuzhou for defensive operations, the national army in the direction of Guangdong is not much, the main force is an 11th division and two mixed brigades, and in the Nanning direction there is only one 24th mixed brigade of Long Jiguang, Therefore, there was basically no progress in the Nanning direction, but after the 11th Division set out from Guangzhou, it marched with the 14th Mixed Brigade, and soon took Zhaoqing, and then went straight to Wuzhou.

Guangxi Guijun has been operating Wuzhou for many years, and has long been preparing to rely on Wuzhou to resist the westward advance of the Nationalist Army, so the fortifications in Wuzhou are quite perfect, and the Gui Army has invested the main force here. The progress of the National Army was not smooth at first, but it was very fast
