Chapter 309: Commander Candidate
It wasn't until Liu Yun walked up to Lao Jiang and saluted him that he came to his senses.
However, Jiang Weizao still didn't say a word, and seemed to be slightly unhappy with the chaotic scene in front of him, so he personally took Commander Liu to the lounge next door, and asked the attendant to bring some tea in.
Rest rooms are rest rooms, especially underground rest rooms during wartime, which are even more simple and rudimentary.
In the dedicated lounge, there is only a single camp bed, plus a small desk, and a few military wooden boxes that serve as stools.
It made Lao Jiang feel embarrassed himself.
Commander Liu secretly admired, this is what a Chinese soldier looks like, even the leader of the Anti-Japanese War can be so self-disciplined, why worry that Huaxia will not be able to usher in the day of victory in the Anti-Japanese War.
When it comes to the air defense of the underground command, Liu Yun can be regarded as half an expert.
He personally participated in the design of the secret base in western Sichuan, which was originally modeled after the "wolf's den" of the German base camp, and was reinforced with the assistance of intelligent brains and ant robots, which should be able to resist low-yield nuclear bombs.
If the devils carry out strategic bombing, Nanjing's key departments will definitely be the target of priority care, and even if the air force is dispatched to intercept it, they will do their best to obey the fate of heaven, because defense cannot be prevented, and the only thing that can be done is to reduce secondary disasters during air raids, such as fires.
If you are really patronized by a bombshell, just accept your fate.
But in a hurry, it is not good to let the ant robot to strengthen the underground fortifications of the Nanjing camp, which is too appalling.
Fortunately, Commander Liu has an air defense magic weapon, that is, the western Sichuan version of the air defense early warning radar, look at the 1940 "Eagle over London", you can know how powerful this thing is, it is still 1937, and it is the exclusive killer feature of western Sichuan.
He was about to talk about the air defense early warning radar, but Lao Jiang took out a document from his desk and asked him to read it for himself.
Commander Liu had no choice but to skim quickly, and it was the information of the United Group Army, which was numbered the 45th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with three German armament divisions, plus a heavy artillery regiment, a tank regiment, and an independent flying regiment, with a total of more than 53,000 soldiers.
In the original time and space, due to the weakness and poverty of modern China, the Nationalist Government only formed 40 group armies and 200 regular field divisions during the entire Anti-Japanese War.
Although some units have been up and down, for example, the number of the 1st Group Army, which has rotated four or five units one after another, the total number of group armies has always remained at 40, and the field divisions have also appeared as newly-formed divisions, provisionally organized divisions, and pre-formed divisions, and other small-scale experimental units, which cannot be counted.
Now, due to the rise of the forces in western Sichuan, there are even a few more group army numbers.
What surprised Commander Liu was that the lieutenant generals of the 45th Group Army were like clouds, such as Major General Hu Lian, commander of the 201st Division, Major General Chen Ziliang, commander of the 202nd Division, Major General Zhang Lingfu, commander of the 203rd Division, Qiu Qingquan, commander of the tank regiment, Huang Wei, commander of the heavy artillery regiment, and Feng Xiangzhong, commander of the Independent Flying Regiment.
Except for Feng Xiangzhong, who is unknown, the other five chief officials are all bulls, first of all, Hu Lian and Hu Boyu, who are the "fierce general brothers" that Liu Yun has always wanted to encircle.
This person is a graduate of the fourth phase of Whampoa, belongs to the kind of long-term bad luck, long-term wandering between the battalion commander and the regiment commander, until 1943 Shipai Fortress Defense, only to be famous all over the world, once evaluated by the great man as "cunning as a fox, fierce as a tiger", and later in Taiwan was honored as a "generation of war gods".
Chen Ziliang is a first-term student of Whampoa, his qualifications are older than Hu Lian, and he studied at the Army University for 13 years in 1935.
On the other hand, during the entire Anti-Japanese War, General Chen served as the commander of the reserve division or the commander of the local garrison for a long time, until he took over the 71st Army in 1943, and he was truly majestic in western Yunnan and Burma, and was praised as "the famous general of China" by the commander of the British and American allies.
However, when it comes to the bloody battles and four draws, I have to mention this person, in addition to their respective positions, Chen Ziliang's military command ability is also remarkable, and he can learn and use Yue Fei's "Star Scattering Array" in the Song Dynasty, to a certain extent, compared with the ancient famous generals, it is not inferior.
The reason why the "Siping Bloody War" is called a bloody war is that in addition to the tragic battle, it also has the meaning of "as soon as the stars come out, see the blood and reap it".
In order to prevent the soldiers from being cowardly and cowardly, Chen Ziliang used concrete to close the entrance and exit in the fortress of Guangbu Zimu Land in Siping, resulting in more than 100,000 elites of Vice Chairman Lin fighting for 19 days and nights, and they could not take down the Siping garrison of less than 30,000 people.
The great man once spoke highly of Chen Ziliang, believing that he was "an outstanding military talent, and even Vice Chairman Lin was slightly inferior by three points", and Jiang Weizuo also praised him, believing that he "created a miracle in the world and deserved to be a rare general."
Therefore, Commander Liu thought that he was the best person to defend Shijiazhuang.
Zhang Lingfu is a student of the fourth phase of Huangpu, can write and martial arts, calligraphy and painting can be called a must, became famous during the Northern Expedition War, many classmates are still as company platoon commanders, he is already the regiment commander, because of outstanding talent, ambition very early, so he is famous for arrogance, the 74th division under his command is known as "the first in the world".
In another time and space, in 1936, Zhang Lingfu was sentenced to ten years in prison for killing his wife.
Now due to the appearance of a certain ant, there is a butterfly benefit, which has led to many things becoming unrecognizable, such as the Red Army left Sichuan a year ahead of schedule, and Regiment Commander Zhang, who was supposed to serve in Guangyuan, Sichuan, also went to the Sino-German Joint Group Army early to serve as the commander of the 202nd Division, which is really unpredictable.
As for Qiu Qingquan and Huang Wei, in terms of actual ability, they are also the best choices among the generals of the Republic of China, but compared to the previous three, it is like the comparison between the stars and the bright moon, but when it comes to marching and fighting, arranging troops, no matter which one is pulled out, it is not comparable to a military trainee.
Commander Liu returned the information to Lao Jiang with some sneer.
"Yicheng, look, how about you being the commander of the Combined Army?"
Lao Jiang came out with a sentence unexpectedly, as if he was afraid that Liu Yun would not understand, so he slowed down his speech.
"Well, that's not good."
Liu Yun was only slightly stunned, and promptly rejected the disorderly life of the commission, and was afraid that Lao Jiang would be entangled, so he explained slightly.
"The student is self-aware, and over the years it seems that he has made countless achievements and has a great reputation, and he is even called the little overlord of western Sichuan, and even more, he says that I am the third warlord in the Chuankang area, the conscience of heaven and earth, and the student is a railway engineer."
"Sichuan's railway network has been built, so far, west to western Sichuan, south to Kunming, north to Xi'an, east to Chongqing, and Liu Xiang and other Sichuan seniors also love me, but more because students only build railways, and they have no conflict of interest, so they were promoted to the third master."
Lao Jiang was smiling and bowing his head, noncommittal about someone's disagreement.
He is not interested in the internal affairs of the Sichuan army at all, not to mention that the Central Command and the military command are not vegetarians, and they have a clear view of the development of western Sichuan, and it is more important to unite the group army at present, so let Commander Liu continue to talk about it.
Commander Liu swallowed his saliva and said with a bitter smile, "Principal, the United Group Army is a typical heavy group, and its most suitable combat area is the plain area, so from the day the army was formed, it was not located in the three towns of Wuhan, or Nanjing and other places, but in Xuzhou, the land of the four wars."
"And Xuzhou and Zhengzhou are the Central Plains of China, which have been easy to attack and difficult to defend since ancient times."
"In history, even with a hegemonic talent like Xiang Yu, it is difficult to gain a foothold here, and later in the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao certainly rose from this place, but Cao Wei was just a flash in the pan, and finally only got one-third of the world, in the final analysis, there is a problem of four sides, four corners and one hinterland."
"Because no matter whether you attack or defend, you must first occupy the golden horn and silver edge, and then chase the Central Plains after the strength is sufficient."
"Four sides and four corners", originally a term in Go, was later introduced into military and political analysis, and the whole of China was compared to a game of chess, and the four sides refer to the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest, with Shandong as the east, Jiangnan as the south, Shanxi and Hetao as the west, and Hebei as the north.
As for the four corners, they refer to the northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest, Pingjin in the northeast, Xi'an and Longshan in the northwest, Nanjing and Shanghai in the southeast, and Chengdu and Chongqing in the southwest.
There is also a hinterland, which is Xuzhou, Zhengzhou and Luoyang, that is, the Central Plains of ancient China.
Since ancient times, there have been clouds, "those who win the Central Plains win the world".
Mainly because it is not easy to win the Central Plains, but anyone who can really sit firmly in the Central Plains is a powerful dynasty that truly unifies the world.
As the saying goes, "gold horns, silver edges, grass belly".
The root cause of this lies in the fact that at the beginning of their development, any force is always very immature and fragile, and the slightest disturbance will lead to a catastrophe.
Therefore, at the beginning of the development of each dynasty, it is necessary to occupy one of the four corners, so that other forces will not take the initiative to provoke unless they have to, so as to obtain sufficient time and opportunities for development, until they develop and grow, and then calmly seize the land adjacent to it.
Of course, if it is so strong that it is invincible in the world, it can directly chase the Central Plains and unify China to establish a new dynasty.
Although the Central Plains and other places are called "grass belly", it is not that this place is not important, but it is too important, and it is put to the end by strategists, because it is easy to attack, but it is difficult to eat it, and if you want to sit firmly in the Central Plains, you must face the situation of "all enemies in the world".
Jiang Weizuo has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he still knows the terminology of Go.
Commander Liu hit the nail on the head, "The devils have occupied the Northeast and Pingjin, and they have gained the convenience of heaven, once they swallow Shanxi, Shandong and Hebei, then they already have the geographical advantage of competing for the Central Plains, if they lose the benefits of the people again, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Huaxia to revive again in the future."
"Those who have won the Central Plains since ancient times have won the world".
"Once the Japanese devils approach Zhengzhou and Xuzhou, I am afraid it will seriously affect the people's morale and morale, and at that time they will not only have to fight the devils, but also face the problem of traitors."
"This, the traitor army, the kind of puppet Manchukuo, is not very good in combat."
Although Liu Yun's words are deafening, Lao Jiang is still a little disapproving, and underestimates the harm of the puppet army, "Most of them are composed of bandits, militia groups, routs and prisoners, and once they engage, they are almost immediately defeated."
"The combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not to be worried about for the time being."
Commander Liu smiled a little wryly, "However, once the people's hearts are turbulent, and the local tyrants and gentry who are entrenched in the countryside find that the devils have the possibility of unifying the world, there are definitely many people from Long Lixun, and even Lu Wenhuan, Zhang Hongfan and the like appear, it is not a strange thing."
Lu Wenhuan, many people may not know him.
Anyone who has read the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" remembers a scene that at the end of the book, Guo Jing and his wife helped the Song army defend Xiangyang against the Mengyuan cavalry who slaughtered the city at every turn, and the Song army guard at that time was Lu Wende.
Lu Wenhuan is the sixth brother of Lu Wende, and later he succeeded the old and healthy Lu Wende as the chief general of Xiangyang and Fancheng.
It is said that Lu Wenhuan is also a famous general at the end of the Song Dynasty, under the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops, he fought fiercely for six or seven years, Xiangyang is still standing, and then the reinforcements are delayed, and the city is also facing the end of ammunition and food, so he has to surrender the city, which is understandable.
But this person not only surrendered to the enemy, but also persuaded the Song Dynasty generals everywhere in the name of Lu Wende, which was no less harmful than Wu Sangui.
As for Zhang Hongfan, it is even more wonderful.
This person's father, Zhang Rou, was originally a local hero, and he was also canonized and supported by the Great Song Dynasty, and was later recruited by Torrey and others in the name of "Song and Mongolia Alliance to Destroy Jin", and actively participated in the war to destroy Jin.
In 1234, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, and the Mongol army officially betrayed the alliance and destroyed the Song Dynasty.
These two fathers and sons were not ashamed of the tyranny of the Yuan soldiers, but wanted to follow Long Jianxun, and from then on they helped to abuse the Song Dynasty, acting as the vanguard of the destruction of the Song Dynasty.
In 1279, Zhang Hongfan personally led a large army to pursue the Song army at Yashan (Yamen, Guangdong).
On the occasion of this full ambition, Tian shamelessly reined in the cliff mountain, and wrote that "Zhang Hongfan destroyed the Song Dynasty here", and later generations were ashamed of him, and someone added a word to it in the early Ming Dynasty, which became "Song Zhang Hongfan destroyed the Song Dynasty here".
This person is talented, but he is too shameful and immoral, and he should be a rebel and a thief.
Old Jiang Teng stood up and wandered around the lounge for a long time.
The harmfulness of this kind of traitor is really no less than a million devil soldiers, so he has to think carefully.
Under the siege of millions of enemy troops, Xiangyang can hold out for six or seven years, and the defenders should be the elite troops in the Song army.
And Zhang Hongfan's subordinates are not bad, starting from the Song and Mongolian alliances to destroy Jin in 1206, and fighting in the south and north with the Mongol army, which has been tempered for more than 60 years, how can ordinary puppet troops be compared with it.
Therefore, how can you not let Jiang Weizai linger.
Fortunately, Lao Jiang was resolute and quickly returned to normal, and was not swayed by someone's "slander" at all, but asked very cautiously, "Who do you think is better to be the commander of the United Group Army?" ”
Liu Yun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Lao Jiang finally knew that he was powerful, and he no longer engaged in any "Lalang matching".
However, he couldn't talk nonsense about the choice of the commander of the joint group.
said well, of course, some people are grateful and some hate, but if it is bad, I am afraid that it will become "Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror", and he is not a person inside and out.
