Wu Peifu's words fell, and Xu Shuzheng snorted coldly: "Brother Ziyu thinks that the Northeast is the same as Zhili and Henan, and our soldiers can get through guò as much as they want?" ”

Wu Peifu glanced at Xu Shuzheng, and a contemptuous smile flashed on his face.

"I know that the Japanese are not well-intentioned, and they support us in sending troops to recover the Eastern Railway in order to let us lose the war! So they're not going to let us send more troops, are they? But I, Wu Peifu, don't want them to get their wish! If we don't send troops, we must have the certainty of total victory! ”

He smiled at Duan Qirui: "Old Zhi, let's send two divisions of soldiers, the Japanese have already agreed, right?" Duan Qirui nodded, and Wu Peifu asked with a smile: "The name of our troops is to encircle and suppress the Red Brigade, and the Russians shouldn't know our idea of fighting the Middle Road, right?" ”

Duan Qirui said with a smile: "Of course I don't know, this matter is only known to a few high-level people in our Beiyang." Moreover, the Russians have infiltrated us no more than Japan. ”

Wu Peifu laughed: "Then how are we going to send troops to seize the Middle East Road?" ”

This time it was Xu Shuzheng who answered him, and the plan to seize the China Eastern Railway was drawn up by him. He smiled a little smugly: "The key to seizing the Eastern Railway is to capture Harbin." And the way to seize Harbin is a sneak attack! The 3rd Division will pass through Harbin in the name of encircling and suppressing the Red Brigade, and then it will start in Harbin in the name of making trouble, seize the Russian concession, and disarm the Russian troops stationed in Harbin...... The Russians are now busy fighting the civil war, there are not many garrisons in North Manchuria, after the East Road robbery, their road guards have been transferred to the east of the Mudanjiang River to the Suifenhe area, Harbin is very empty! After taking Harbin, the 16th Division went north from Changchun to join the 3rd Division, and then advanced to Manchuria and Suifenhe in two routes. ”

After saying his plan, Xu Shuzheng glanced at Wu Peifu, and there was a little more arrogance in his eyes. Wu Peifu nodded, Xu Shuzheng's plan was ruthless enough. It's also yin enough. It's just not atmospheric enough, which is probably the reason why this person has been mixing in the positions of staff officers and staff, and has never really led soldiers to fight, right?

Wu Peifu raised his eyebrows. Showing a bit of arrogance, he chuckled: "The plan is basically feasible, but the size of the troops must be at least doubled!" Throw in four divisions at once, and all of them must be full! As for how to fool the Japanese. That couldn't be easier, we can use the method of separating man and machine...... Wouldn't it be okay for the officers and men of the two divisions to take the train directly from Beijing to Changchun in disguise as passengers? The other two divisions brought twice as many weapons and equipment. Anyway, the Japanese didn't look carefully, and when they transferred from the Bac Ninh Railway to the train of the South Manchurian Railway, they only had a rough look, and then they just split the account and took the money. ”

Xu Shuzheng furrowed his eyebrows: "What if the Japanese find out?" They have a lot of spies on the South Manchurian Railway! ”

Wu Peifu sneered: "What if you find out?" The decision-making mechanism of the Japanese did not react so quickly! The spies did not have the power to stop the South Manchurian Railway...... At best, they reported to the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army then reported to the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, which in turn reported to the War Department and their Prime Minister. By the time Masayi Terau knows, our people have already arrived in Changchun, what else can they Japanese do? I can only acquiesce. ”

Duan Qirui turned his head to look at Xu Shuzheng: "Another Zheng, can Ziyu's method work?" Is there a way to arrange it? ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly: "Try it, I'll go to Liang Yansun, the chief of transportation, to find a way." But who are the other two divisions going to transfer? Our army is not good, it is full of Japanese advisers. ”

Duan Qirui frowned and thought about it, and said slowly: "Feng Huanzhang's 16th Mixed Brigade is also elite. Personnel are well equipped. You can use it with a division, so it's better to give him a division number and let him go to the Northeast as well. In addition, it is Wu Xintian's seventh division, but this division was originally Zhang Xunchen's (Zhang Jingyao)'s old army, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to command. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Peifu and saw that the other party didn't say anything. He sighed in a low voice again, and said to Wu Peifu and Wang Tingzhen: "There is another question. Originally, I planned to take out Bao Tingjiu, who was transferred to Heilongjiang, and take charge of Jilin, and Meng Enyuan was transferred to Beijing. The vacated Heilongjiang Overseer and the Governor are for the two of you. But now there are two more divisions......"

Honestly. There are really a lot of problems with the Beiyang warlords fighting! It seems that the territory and the army have to be linked, and the division commanders and brigade commanders who lead the troops always have to serve as an overseer, a provincial governor, a town guard, or something. Originally, two divisions were sent to the northeast, and one of the three capitals in the northeast could be removed, and it could still be arranged. But if four divisions are dispatched at once, I'm afraid we will have to take two provinces to arrange! Can the overseers and division commanders in the northeast agree? If this is not even, Lao Maozi will not have to fight, and he will directly fight the civil war.

So as soon as Duan Qirui raised this question, several people in the room stopped talking. I don't know how long it took, but I saw Wu Peifu and Wang Tingzhen exchanging glances with each other, and said at the same time: "Feng Huanzhang and Wu Xintian have just been promoted to division commanders, so the overseers and provincial governors should be one step slower, right?" ”

Duan Qirui looked at Xu Shuzheng again, and Xu Shuzheng also nodded: "It seems that this can only be the case, but we have tried to make up for the salaries of Feng Huanzhang and Wu Xintian, so they should have no opinions, right?" ”

Xu Shuzheng said so on his lips, but he understood in his heart that if the territory was allocated like this, those two guys would have no opinion before they had a ghost! And Zhang Zuolin, Meng Enyuan, these local snakes in the northeast, whether they can be willing to obey the arrangements of the central government are also two words, this war to recover the Middle Road, if it really starts, I don't know what it will become!

……

At this time in Guangdong, the footsteps of another revolutionary war were gradually approaching, and even ordinary people could smell the strong smell of gunpowder from the more and more frequent parades organized by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, as well as the military parades of the National Revolutionary Army. As for the targets to be crusaded against in this revolutionary war, the leaders of the Guangxi Gui Army, some people finally began to sit still.

Bai Chongxi walked into a secluded office in a branch of the Bank of Hong Kong, which was specially prepared for him by Pei Zuyi, the president of the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China. There, there was already a man waiting for him. The man was dressed in a crisp dress, wearing a high courtesy, and hid his eyebrows deeply. Seeing Bai Chongxi push the door and walk in alone, he stood up, took off his top hat, revealing a delicate and young face, this person walked up to Bai Chongxi, and grabbed Bai Chongxi's outstretched right hand: "Brother Jiansheng." You can do a great job now, my little brother admires it so much! ”

Of course, the person who came was not Bai Chongxi's younger brother, but Bai Chongxi in Guangxi Army Primary School. Huang Shaohong, a classmate of Wuhan Army Middle School and Baoding Military Academy, is also one of the three heroes of the Gui Department in history!

Bai Chongxi looked at his old classmates with a smile, they have only been separated from Baoding for two years now, but their experiences are very different. Huang Shaohong turned out to be a member of the Iron and Blood Comrades Association. However, when he graduated from Baoding, he did not choose to join Chang Ruiqing's model battalion to develop in Beijing, but returned to Guangxi to join the Gui Army. However, Lu Rongting's Gui Army was very exclusive to military academy graduates like Huang Shaohong because they were the foundation of the former Qing patrol battalion, and he became a platoon commander for a year, and it was not until last year that he became a company in the army model battalion founded by Ma Xiaojun, a Guangxi officer who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. He was only promoted to company commander this year, and he really can't compare with Bai Chongxi's lieutenant general, deputy chief of general staff, and member of the Central Military Commission.

However, Bai Chongxi did not mean to despise his old classmate who was not very good, and chatted and laughed with him enthusiastically, and at the same time talked about his old friendship for many years. Huang Shaohong was slightly restrained, after all, the other party was a big man with the rank of lieutenant general, and I heard that he was one of the 10 most powerful members of the Military Commission here in the National Government! Compared with Sun Yat-sen, it is only one level shorter.

And this time. I was still entrusted by the battalion commander Ma Xiaojun. came to Hong Kong to negotiate with the other party about the defection. Seriously, he was embarrassed to mention this to Bai Chongxi, what is the status of the family? What is the strength of a battalion in the eyes of others? Usually, the battalion commander of their National Revolutionary Army wants to meet Deputy Chief of Staff Bai, but I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?

Huang Shaohong was embarrassed to speak, but Bai Chongxi had already guessed the other party's intention. He looked at Huang Shaohong and nodded. He reached out again and shook his hand vigorously: "Brother Ji Kuan, Brother Yaoru and I are clear about your talents. If you had gone to Beijing with us back then, you would have at least the status of division commander and brigade commander now. But. It's not too late for you to vote...... Now that the National Revolutionary Army has expanded too much, there is a shortage of officers like you who have been rigorously trained and have actual combat experience! By the way, I heard that there are still many students from Baoding, Luzhong, and Lu Primary School in Mr. Ma's model camp, and all the cadets are also Guangxi children who graduated from high school, and they are all trained according to the standards of junior officers, isn't it? ”

Huang Shaohong smiled bitterly and nodded: "Our model battalion not only has Baoding, but also a company commander who graduated from the Army University!" It's really unbelievable to say, in our Guangxi army, those who come out of the military academy are not as good as the big-headed soldiers who have not studied. Or are you classmates who followed Chang Yaoru to Beijing on the right path......" Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, didn't he come to negotiate with Bai Chongxi? Why don't you ask the price now, and complain directly to the other party? As soon as this hole card is opened, what else is there to talk about?

Bai Chongxi smiled slightly, looked at Huang Shaohong and said: "Ji Kuan, it's not too late for you to come over now, we need officers here, after you come, I can't guarantee the division commander and brigade commander, there must be a regiment commander!" As for Mr. Ma, Chang Yaoru wanted to ask him to join the training headquarters as a lieutenant general and deputy commander, specifically responsible for training recruits. And the company commander who came out of the Army University is named Huang Xuchu, right? Chang Yaoru wants to arrange for him to be his chief of staff, and he is the chief of staff of the front army! There is always the rank of major general. We will also make proper arrangements for other officers and soldiers of the model battalion, and we will never let them become ordinary soldiers...... I don't know if that's good, right? ”

Listening to Bai Chongxi's conditions, Huang Shaohong didn't know how to answer. These conditions cannot be said to be unfavorable, but they are not the same as what Ma Xiaojun and the company commanders of the Guangxi Army Model Battalion imagined. In their vision, the Guangxi Army Model Battalion should be expanded into a brigade! Ma Xiaojun is a brigade commander, and it is best to serve as a town guard...... But listening to the meaning of Bai Chongxi's words, the National Revolutionary Army wants to completely digest the Guangxi Army Model Battalion!

"Ji Kuan, do you know what is the biggest difference between our National Revolutionary Army and other warlord forces?" Seeing that Huang Shaohong was silent, Bai Chongxi already knew his intentions, he smiled faintly, and began to introduce again: "All the troops in our National Revolutionary Army are not private armies!" All military commanders are not masters of the army, but merely managers, and in our National Revolutionary Army, all high-ranking officers who lead troops can be deprived of military power with a single order from the military committee! Moreover, officers above the regimental commander level will be regularly transferred to prevent them from forming forces in the troops...... These were the cases before you joined the National Revolutionary Army. I should make it clear to you. If you are willing to join, then I will say on behalf of Chang Yaoru and Mr. Sun: Welcome! ”

Bai Chongxi said very strictly. After finishing speaking, he looked at his old classmate with blazing eyes. Huang Shaohong fell into a long period of thought, the room was quiet, I don't know how long it took, I saw him nodded heavily: "Brother Jiansheng." I will relay your words to Battalion Commander Ma, but the team belongs to him, and I can't guarantee whether he will join the National Revolutionary Army or not. But I personally can assure you that no matter what the commander of the horse battalion decides. I will definitely come to Guangzhou to join you, Brother Jiansheng! After speaking, he snapped and stood up and gave Bai Chongxi a military salute.

Bai Chongxi also stood up, patted Huang Shaohong's arm hard, and said with a smile: "Okay! You can come to give me and Yaoru the greatest support. That's right...... I would also like to ask you about a person who is also from your Guangxi Army, named Li Zongren. Have you heard of this person? ”

……

The atmosphere in the newly built mansion of Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian, Liaoning Province has been very lively recently, although the rumors of imperialism sending troops to China are getting tighter and tighter. The terrorist activities of the Red Brigade have also intensified. But this qiē does not seem to affect Zhang Dashuai's good mood, at least on the surface.

Zhang Zuolin, who is the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces and the overseer of Liaoning, now seems to have become the object of courtship from all sides. Even Sun Yat-sen, who has been gaining momentum recently, sent his eldest son to Fengtian, nominally to be a peacemaker between the Red Brigade and the Beiyang government, but in fact, Sun Dagongzi lives in the Fengtian Marshal's Mansion these days and sleeps a lot during the day. At night, I accompanied Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang to play mahjong, and these days I have exported tens of thousands! But he didn't even frown...... It seems that Sun Cannon is really rich now!

Then. Zhang Zuolin was half-leaning on his bed, his eyes squinting. I hummed a little tune in my mouth. His think tank, Yang Yuting, was sitting on the side of his couch, analyzing the situation for him with his fingers crossed. Contrary to his master's happy mood, Yang Yuting's brows frowned slightly, and he sighed as he spoke, as if he was very worried about the current situation.

"Dashuai, the current situation is very wrong, not right! Sun Yat-sen's side was expanding the armament and preparing for the Northern Expedition, but Beiyang moved the army outside the pass, clearly to encircle and suppress the Red Brigade, but in fact it was ......"

He paused slightly, as if he was considering the words: "The Third Division and the Sixteenth Division are not considered weak brigades, and when they go out of the pass, they are not our biggest outside the pass!" Do you think Beiyang will want to take the three eastern provinces as their retreat? Their two divisions pressed over from the north, and then the Guannai used the participating army to advance eastward along the Beining line, I am afraid that our strength will be ......" He glanced up at Zhang Zuolin, and finally sighed: "I'm afraid I'm going to let Beiyang swallow it in one bite!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin stopped humming a small song, but looked at Yang Yuting with heavy eyes, and asked lightly: "Neighbor, what is the saying of Yanda Shichitaro (Japanese Consul General in Mukden)?" He's behind us. ”

Although Zhang Zuolin belongs to the pro-Japanese faction at present, Japan's support for him is not as strong as it was later, mainly because the Japanese side also has different opinions on whether to support him as a "puppet." The side led by Kawashima Naniwa and the Japanese Kwantung Governor (the Kwantung Army had not yet been established) advocated getting rid of Zhang Zuolin and supporting the puppets. On the other hand, the faction headed by Yoshiichi Tanaka, director of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Japanese Army, and Nanataro Yada, Japanese consul general in Mukden, advocated supporting Zhang Zuolin to unify the three eastern provinces, and then pushing Zhang Zuolin to make an independent effort in the northeast in order to achieve the goal of splitting Manchu and Mongolia.

And Zhang Zuolin has long known about the differences within Japan about his zài, so he tried his best to tie up with Yanoda Nanataro...... Well, it's not a shame to say this, but it's also true! If this Zhang Dashuai hadn't been soft enough and clever enough to curry favor with the Japanese, he would have been eliminated by the Japanese a long time ago, where would he still be a patrol envoy in the three eastern provinces?

Hearing Zhang Dashuai ask about the opinions of the Japanese, Yang Yuting's expression became a little more solemn: "Dashuai, Mr. Yada reassures us, he said that the exit of the Beiyang Army of those two divisions was agreed by the Japanese side, and they are not aimed at our ......."

Zhang Zuolin had already sat up from the couch, with a puzzled look on his face: "Neighbor, do you think that Yada is deceiving us?" Will the Japanese sell us to Beiyang? Before Yang Yuting could answer, Zhang Zuolin said to himself: "It stands to reason that it won't...... What benefits can Beiyang give to little Japan? Will the lease of Kanto be extended or will the island be ceded...... It's impossible, it's impossible for Beiyang to do that, if it does, the people all over the world will have to support Sun Dacang, and their central government doesn't want it? ”
