Chen Cheng scolded Jiang Jiaoshi in his heart, obviously he had made up his mind, but he had to say it to my subordinates.

However, he really lacked pride, and he didn't dare to say what he had slandered Jiang Jiaoshi, but said in a tone that he had come up with a solution after thinking hard: "This situation is really chaotic, and we can't grasp it. In the student's view, we have to do two things. The first thing is to immediately inform Hu Zongnan of the situation here, and order him to strengthen the security and actively contain me to escape...... My lost officers and soldiers of the troops. Immediately after the containment is over, return to Chongqing and strengthen the defense of Chongqing with the upcoming Tax Police Corps.

The second thing is that we need to redeploy the defense of Guizhou-Zhou and Yunnan-Nan. Now that Xue Yue's corps has lost its combat effectiveness, there is a vacuum in Guizhou's defense, and the local troops may be frightened by the rampant communist banditry and dare not stop it at all. In this way, Guizhou and Yunnan-Nan will really be as Guo Bandit said in his humble heart, and they will carry out armed secession here and establish a base here. They have their backs to Southeast Asia, and when we attack them, they can enter Burma and Thailand to avoid our advance, and as soon as we retreat, they can fight back.

It is best to prepare for the worst for the defense of Guizhou-Prefecture and Yunnan-Nan, at least to give up all-round defense and front defense, and instead concentrate superior forces to hold only a few key points. As long as the big cities are in our hands, they will not be able to grow further.

In addition to these two major tasks, we should do several other things: On the one hand, we should send a large number of intelligence personnel to find out the weapons and equipment of Guo Bandit's unit, and on the other hand, we should actively purchase arms from Western countries and train troops. At least 200,000 elite troops equipped with advanced equipment like the tax police corps must be trained.

Principal, I ask you to focus on the big picture. Immediately fly back to Nanjing to preside over the work of the whole country. The mess here in Guiyang is up to the students or others to clean up. Students are guaranteed to do their best. Live up to the principal's cultivation. ”

Thinking that Gan-Zhou City was lost in an instant, and that Heng-Yang City was lost without a fight, after listening to Chen Cheng's words, Jiang Jiaoshi couldn't help but shudder in his heart: If the Red Army took advantage of the power of victory and followed the rout army to attack Guiyang City, would he not be surrounded in Guiyang City? Won't they be captured yet?

He nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the bandit area is extremely erosive now. It will not work without the redeployment of the country's defense. I must rush back at once, and I will leave the matter here to you. ”

Jiang Jiashi is obviously also a simple person, he just left, and he even brought Wang Jialie with him.

Although Wang Jialie was a little reluctant to take power here, once he left Guizhou, he would be nothing, but the fierce momentum of the Red Army really frightened him, he knew that even the Central Army could not stop the Red Army would definitely crush his double spearmen into powder, if he didn't leave now, he would become the other party's prisoner.

Since Jiang Jiashi ordered him to leave by himself, he still has some face. Let's go.

The decision was made, and he immediately hand-wrote an order. Order all government agencies and all armies in Gui-Prefecture to be handed over to Chen Cheng's command!

He was very honorable, which made Jiang Jiaoshi very happy, and immediately promised to give him a unit in Nanjing.

What they didn't know was that they were so resolute and that they walked so quickly, and that less than an hour after Jiang Jieshi's plane, including the escort group, flew away, the airfield was attacked by a special combat team led by Song Jun himself, and the remaining 15 planes, more than 20 pilots, and nearly 100 ground crew, air traffic control, and maintenance personnel were captured.

Knowing from the captive that Jiang Jiaoshi had only left for a short time, Song Jun was very annoyed: It would be good if he left an hour earlier.

It doesn't matter if Jiang Jiashi is caught or not, but more planes and pilots can be captured, how good!

When Chen Cheng learned of the accident at the airport, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his back, secretly screaming that he was lucky and annoyed that he had no air retreat route.

However, Chen Cheng's question was a matter of the future, while the matter in front of Hu Zongnan was a difficult problem to choose immediately: "Should we immediately retreat back to Chongqing, or should we stop here and contain the troops and then retreat?" ”

Both the retreat and the stay made Hu Zongnan very difficult, and the embarrassed Cheng Dù suddenly exceeded the surprise and panic caused by the loss of contact with Xue Yue's corps.

It wasn't that he hadn't predicted that Xue Yue would lose, after all, it was difficult to explain clearly what was going on the battlefield, and victory and defeat were very mysterious. From ancient times to modern times, from home to abroad, inexplicable war endings abound, what is less to win more, what is weak to defeat the strong, and the books that record this kind of war are even more sweaty. Although he didn't think that Xue Yue would really be defeated by the Red Army, he also thought about what if, what if he failed.

The reason why he thought of this was that he knew that Guo Shucheng's army was so weird that it was as if it had been magical. They regarded the annihilation of the regiment and the annihilation of the army as easy as eating, and regarded the siege of the city as fun. Since they were able to destroy the Ganzhou city heavily guarded by Song Xilian, and since they were able to destroy the first division and one brigade of the Hunan army, it was naturally possible to bring huge trouble to Xue Yue.

But he never thought that the speed of Xue Yue's corps' defeat would be so fast, it was only a few hours.

Song Xilian failed to defend the city, it was because he underestimated the enemy, and he was not prepared for street fighting at all, but only strengthened the defense outside the city and on the city wall, and there was no depth, so that when he was bombarded by the artillery fire of the Red Army, cracks immediately appeared, and gaps in defense immediately appeared.

However, your Xue Yue is well defended, and he has built a large number of fortifications relying on the Wuyang River, and there is depth. You can block the river, you can attack half-crossing, and you can counterattack while the enemy is still on the shore.

Even if the line of defense near the river bank is broken through by the Red Army, you still have a line of defense far from the river bank to resist, you still have reserves to fill the gap broken by the enemy, you can still make your troops retreat one by one, why did you suddenly lose contact, why did you lose so much defeat?

Hu Zongnan resolutely did not believe the telegram sent by Jiang Jieshi at first, believing that the radio station at Xue Yue's headquarters was likely to be damaged by the spies and he lost contact for the time being. But as Jiang Jiashi ordered him to stop and strengthen his guard, he really believed it, and immediately thought about what he would do next.

Retreat immediately is naturally safe, can't I run if I can't run? The main force I led this time is the first division of the Central Army, and I know from this number that Jiang Jiaoshi attaches great importance to this army, which is definitely the elite of the elite, and the speed of the march is very fast.

However, let the high-spirited Hu Zongnan run away like this, not to mention that he himself is unwilling, even the generals under him will not be willing, what does it rely on to lead the troops? It's prestige. But where does prestige come from, doesn't it come from winning battles? As the No. 1 division in the world, its arrogance is innate, and all officers and men have their noses turned to the sky and despise other troops, whether they are the Red Army or other central armies fleeing in all directions.

Now the 1st Division has worked hard to rush from Nanjing to Chongqing, and has not yet had a good rest in Chongqing, and the officers and soldiers have not yet enjoyed the snacks of Chongqing, and have not yet enjoyed the spicy girls here, so they have no regrets in digging into the ravine and climbing the mountain road, and have walked hard for several days, in order to win the battle. Isn't it just to write a strong stroke on the first division's battle book?

But now the Red Army who is going to fight has not even seen each other, just knowing that Xue Yue has failed, he will not fire a shot and roll back to Chongqing, who has not complained and who is not angry? If you really want to return to Chongqing, you won't be laughed off by the officers and soldiers of the Tax Police Corps who are about to arrive? Don't you have your head hanging in your crotch?

Everyone knows that the Tax Police Corps is a unit established by Song Ziwen with the looted people's fat and ointment, and its treatment is the best, the weapons and equipment are the best, and their instructors are still German active duty officers, and there are senior German officers in their advisory group who give them advice all the year round, and they have long looked down on the Central Army.

And the officers and men of the central government have long looked at them unpleasantly.

Both sides have long had the idea of when to compare with each other. If the First Division, that is, the most elite Central Army, which is recognized even by the Central Army, is so frightened back by the Red Army, it will really be ridiculed by the officers and men of the Tax Police Corps for a long time, and even the officers and men of the First Division will never be able to raise their heads in front of them.

The shame of the First Division is also the shame of the entire Central Army, and if this is the case, Hu Zongnan will definitely be insulted by all the senior officers of the Central Army, and will be ridiculed by all the officers and men of the Central Army, including the officers and men of the First Division.

If this is still secondary, after all, being complained about by the officers and soldiers under his subordinates, ridiculed by the officers and soldiers of the Tax Police Corps, and ridiculed by his colleagues will not let a few pieces of flesh fall off his body.

However, what made Hu Zongnan's heart move and hesitate was that he could justifiably contain Xue Yue's scattered troops.

Now it's a troubled time, whoever has more troops in his hands will have greater strength, although the central army is different from the local warlords, but if he Hu Zongnan can accommodate a large number of troops and integrate them into his own team, it will be a great achievement, Xue Yue's troops are also elite soldiers, and they can be used without any training at all, and the troops under their control will not grow a lot at once?

Besides, even if the army is swept away by Jiang Jiaoshi in the future, then I, Hu Zongnan, will also be a great merit, compared with Xue Yue, my credit will be highlighted, and it is not just around the corner to be promoted and rich in the future, not to mention those officers who are sheltered by themselves and taken care of by themselves will also regard themselves as their benefactors, and they will be able to establish greater contacts in the army in the future, in case the war does not go well one day, these people are likely to extend a helping hand, how good!

Thinking of this, Hu Zongnan finally made up his mind: to contain some of the scattered troops before leaving!

He shared his opinion with several officers, and all of them applauded the swaggering officers.
