After entering Yuqian County, Sun Chuanfang was a little relieved. On the one hand, scouts were sent around to inquire about the situation, and on the other hand, they urged the troops to build fortifications and prepare to meet the Kuomintang army. In a short time, the soldiers of the Kuomintang army arrived, and it was not a division as Xia Chao said, but a whole five divisions with a regiment of artillery, more than 40,000 people. As soon as the Kuomintang army arrived, they began to besiege the city, and the water surrounding a small Yuqian county town was impassable, and Sun Chuanfang and his second division were all blocked in the county seat. However, Sun Chuanfang was not nervous, because although Yu Qiancheng was small, the city wall was strong, and it was not easy to attack, and more importantly, since the main force of the Kuomintang had arrived in Yu Qian, Hangzhou would naturally be safe. Thinking of this, Sun Chuanfang also arranged the city defense with peace of mind while waiting for the good news of Wu Dashuai of Shanhaiguan.

But he never expected that the bad news would come early the next morning, and Hangzhou City was captured by Chiang Kai-shek somehow! Guarding Hangzhou was a mixed brigade of Zhou Yinren plus a division of the Zhejiang Army, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people. The Kuomintang used 40,000 people to surround the submarine, and the remaining troops were only 10,000 or 20,000, how could it be possible to take Hangzhou in one day?

"Xia Chao!" Sun Chuanfang understood the reason after a little thought, it must have been Xia Chao, a thief, who betrayed him. Hehe, Sun Chuanfang is also sluggish, in fact, this Xia Chao is not the first time to sell the master, and all the Zhejiang overseers since the Republic of China have suffered from him. However, Sun Chuanfang was still extremely stubborn, and although only one lone army was surrounded in Qianxian County, he still refused to surrender to Chiang Kai-shek.

Lao Jiang knew that Sun Chuanfang would not surrender or attack, so he ordered Li Jishen to lead five divisions to continue the siege, and he sat in Hangzhou and began to reorganize the Zhejiang military police. Zhejiang's army and the "armed police" under the jurisdiction of various security departments have a total of more than 20,000 people, and their equipment and training level are very good, and they were divided into two divisions by Chiang Kai-shek, 33 and 34 respectively, with Chiang's descendants Jiang Dingwen and Liu Zhi serving as division commanders, and a large number of graduates of the first phase of Whampoa serving as company and platoon officers, and a very small number of them serving as battalion commanders. And Xia Chao continued to be his chairman of Zhejiang Province as he wished, and in addition, he also received a lot of money, which can be regarded as a gain. So far, Zhejiang Province has basically been pacified by Lao Jiang.

Looking back at the two lakes again, the Second Front Army of the Kuomintang began to rest and reorganize after the Battle of Laodaohe, digesting the newly absorbed troops on the one hand, and supplementing the losses of the war with prisoners of war on the other. In the troops recruited from Changsha City, two historical Gui generals were also found, one is named Liao Lei, and the other is named Li Pinxian, Luo Yaoguo felt that Gui generals were always more capable of fighting, so he transferred the two to the eighth and ninth divisions as deputy division commanders, which can be regarded as a snare under his command, right? In addition, it is to arrange the Hubei raiders. At this time, He Chengjun, the chairman of Hubei Province appointed by the Kuomintang and a famous lobbyist in history, also rushed to Changsha from Guangzhou, and he would replace An Sihua, who was the commander of the Ninth Division, as the chief of staff of the Second Front Army, responsible for giving advice on the Hubei strategy.

After celebrating the 13th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution on October 10, Luo Yaoguo convened a meeting of important generals of the Second Front Army to discuss further battle plans. The meeting was held at the Yuelu Mountain Academy, the general headquarters of the Second Front Army. He Chengjun, An Sihua, Fang Dingying, Wang Bao, Chen Cheng, Li Shunen, Wang Maogong, Tang Shengzhi, and others attended the meeting, but the titular commander-in-chief, Tan Yanmin, did not attend the military meeting because he was busy with preparations before the training of the government in Hunan.

Seeing that there were stars gathered in the conference room, and most of the people were older than him, Luo Yaoguo also had to be polite, he said: "You have worked hard for a while ago, this time the Northern Expedition was a thief, and my second front army was victorious, it really depends on the courage of the kings, Yaoguo is here to thank you." Luo Yaoguo pretended to stand up, bowed deeply to the generals present, and said: "Next, we can pacify the south with a little more effort, so that the first phase of the Northern Expedition will be completed." And the next combat target of the Second Front Army is Hubei Province, I don't know what good strategy you have? ”

"Then let me start with a few words." He Chengjun stood up with a smile, walked to the map, picked up the baton, and casually pointed to the direction of Hubei, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yaonan is now in danger and outnumbered, and he can't hold Hubei, all he can do is to delay time and wait for Luo Wu to defeat Fengzhang, but judging from the current battle situation in Shanhaiguan, it seems that there is little hope." This battle may end in a draw or a win, but I'm optimistic about the Bong, after all, this war can't all rely on cannonballs. ”

"Well, that's a good point, I'm not optimistic about Luo Wu either, the problem now is that Xiao Yaonan is willing to go." Luo Yaoguo nodded and said, "By the way, we seem to have a strange army in the northwest, how is their situation now?" ”

He Chengjun shook his head and said: "The Northwest New Army has not been in contact with the General Staff for a long time, and according to the report of our comrades in northern Shaanxi last month, it seems that they are also negotiating something with Ma Fuxiang, maybe they want to make the Northwest Zhuma believe in GC doctrine, right?" He Chengjun is naturally very humorous when he can speak well, and after making a joke, He Chengjun continued to make suggestions, he said: "No matter what GCD is thinking, in short, they will not miss this opportunity, so Wu Peifu will definitely lose." Therefore, we don't have to worry about Wu Peifu going south to aid Xiao, we can completely let go of our hands and feet to use troops. Now that Xiao Yaonan has few soldiers, he will definitely choose to stick to Wuhan, and other cities are estimated to be handed over to the local militia groups, so it is better for us to approach the three towns of Wuhan with the main force, take western Hubei with one part, and take Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Jingmen and other places by crossing the river in Yueyang, and then threaten Xiao Yaonan's retreat from the north, and strive to force him out of the three towns of Wuhan and force him to go north. ”

"GCD's idea?" Luo Yaoguo frowned and said, "They can't wait to pacify Suiyuan, I see that they are already on their way to Yanjing." Then let's set off on the 12th, An Sihua, you take the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and twenty-fifth divisions plus three artillery regiments to form the first column along the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway to the north to approach the three towns of Wuhan, but don't attack the city, and the speed is not too fast, you can get to Wuchang within ten days. General Boxiong (Fang Dingying): You take the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd divisions to form a second column to cross the Yangtze River from Yueyang and seize Jingzhou, Jingmen, and Xiangyang. General Meng Xiao (Tang Shengzhi): You take the 31st and 32nd divisions to form a third column to seize the cities in western Hubei. In addition, according to the order of the General Staff, the 29th and 30th Divisions were now assigned to the Third Front Army, and they were limited to arrive in Nanchang before 18 July. The 24th Division remained in Hunan. ”

After all the generals were ordered to leave to prepare for the trip, Luo Yaoguo left He Chengjun alone.

"General Xuezhu, do you have any arrangements for Premier Wu Peifu?" Luo Yaoguo asked with a three-point smile: "You should have met the prime minister and his old man before you came, right?" ”

He Chengjun smiled and replied: "The prime minister didn't mention Wu Peifu, he just said that it is best for the north to be composed of many parties to form a joint political axe, only in this way can the interests of all factions be represented to the greatest extent and the people everywhere." ”

"Then bring the money, right?" Luo Yaoguo stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of counting money.

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from General Fuwen." He Chengjun grinned, took out a large acceptance bill issued by HSBC from his pocket and put it in front of Luo Yaoguo.

"3 million! It seems that the Prime Minister's discipline has really seen results. With this money, Xiao Yaonan should be willing to leave the three towns of Wuhan and go north to help Wu Peifu guard his nest, right? When did General Xuezhu depart? Luo Yaoguo asked again.

"Anytime."

"Can you bring someone along?" Luo Yaoguo suddenly thought of an old friend.

"It's Wang Maoru, right?" He Chengjun nodded without waiting for Luo Yaoguo to open his mouth and said, "If it's okay for him, let him go to Wuchang with me for a meritorious service." ”

Wang Bailing has a good voice, is proficient in mahjong pai gow, has super social skills, and looks good, it is completely a copy of He Chengjun, this person is suitable for being an "internal friend", and it is not good to be sent to war.

The next day, Luo Yaoguo set up a banquet in Wangxiang Tower for the generals and He Chengjun and Wang Bailing to practice. I wish them a victory, and Luo Yaoguo himself sits in Changsha and waits for their good news. After the banquet, Luo Yaoguo stayed with An Sihua to teach him face-to-face. He said: "Sihua, it is best to win the three towns of Wuhan without a fight, just force the enemy away, and stop fighting if you can." ”

"What do you mean?" This style of play was not taught in the German art of war.

"I want you to advance step by step, slowly, well, very steadily approaching the three towns of Wuhan, and putting strong pressure on the enemy. Our people will go to persuade Xiao Yaonan to leave, so your army is just putting pressure on them, do you understand? Luo Yaoguo patiently explained. If An Sihua still doesn't understand, then he plans to take his troops to Wuhan and let An Sihua dispatch in the back.

"Oh, you mean to scare him away? Uh, and persuade them to leave? Is there such a good thing? An Sihua shook her head in confusion.

"There is no problem, I estimate that the battle situation in the north will be concluded within 10 days, Wu Peifu will definitely fail, and Xiao Yaonan will have no choice at that time, so don't fight with him, fight him out, Wu Peifu will become the commander of the light pole." There are no eternal enemies in the world, do you say? ”

An Sihua seemed to understand, he nodded and said, "I know, Wu Peifu will be our barrier in the north in the future, so it can't be weakened too much." But what if he joins forces with Bong Jang to deal with us? ”

Luo Yaoguo said lightly: "There is GCD, they don't have the energy to go south." ”
