Chapter 106: Reasonable Excuses

The news of the attack on the rear baggage convoy soon reached the ears of Luo Peijin, commander of the Fourth Division. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the Info Division, Luo Peikin's face was very bad, especially after knowing the true identity of these attackers.

"Are you sure that these bandits are from the Shaanxi People's Army?" Luo Peijin turned to look at Zheng Kaiwen beside him and asked calmly.

However, as the chief of staff, Zheng Kaiwen, who has been partnered with Luo Peijin for more than half a year and already knows his temperament, clearly knows that at this time, his top boss is suppressing a wave of anger in his heart, just waiting for a flashpoint that can erupt.

Zheng Kaiwen said lightly: "According to the results of the interrogation, we have learned that this group of bandits is led by a person named Qian Siye, and Qian Siye himself has been captured by our army in battle. This person was a leader of the Shaanxi Elders' Association earlier, and since the revolution, he has served as the commander of the southern part of the Shaanxi People's Army. According to the confession of his subordinates, this time they started because they were angry about our army's baggage equipment. ”

"Hehe, my army's baggage equipment? That's a long stretch! They actually put their hands on the logistics line of our army, what do they think we are easy to bully? These people really don't remember to eat. That's great! Let's try to see who is the best. Luo Peijin was surprisingly angry, obviously what the Shaanxi People's Army had done had already upset him.

"I think it's better to report this matter to the General Staff! It is a matter of conflict between the two sides, and besides, the Shaanxi People's Army is also a member of the revolutionary army in the Nanjing government, so it is really difficult for us to handle it without permission. Political commissar Zhang Nailiang rubbed his temples, and he also had a headache about this matter.

Zheng Kaiwen nodded: "I think what the political commissar said is reasonable, it is a conflict between the two sides, and we can't solve it unilaterally." ”

Luo Peijin took a sip of tea from the teacup and suppressed the evil fire in his heart. Emotionally, he especially wanted to set up his troops, and Zhao Wan Bingnan found this field. But rationally, he knew that he couldn't do this, after all, what the political commissar said was right, the Shaanxi People's Army is now also a member of the revolutionary camp, and now that such a thing has happened, it is obviously impossible not to report it.

As the senior military and political leaders of the Fourth Division, after the three of them had unified their opinions, a telegram describing the details of the incident and their own opinions was soon sent to the General Staff Headquarters.

The waiting time was undoubtedly the most torturous, and it was already an hour after receiving the call back from the General Staff Headquarters, an hour, which is not a long time, but for the three people who stayed in the division headquarters and smoked cigarettes and smoked clouds, it seemed like a century had passed. The order of the General Staff was simple: stand by in place.

Not to mention how Luo Peijin, Zhang Nailiang and others who received orders from the General Staff looked like, but said that Jiang Baili, chief of the General Staff, was overjoyed when he saw the telegram from the Fourth Division.

If it weren't for this looting incident, Jiang Baili would have really had to spend a lot of brains and ask the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Department to find a reasonable excuse for the Southwest Army to occupy Shaanxi. Now that such a thing has happened, it can be said that it is very calm to put on the head of the Shaanxi side, first solve it by force, and then smear and stink.

Soon, Jiang Baili picked up the phone and reported to Xiao Mubai about this, and after getting Xiao Mubai's approval, Jiang Baili picked up the phone again and called the director of the General Staff Operations Department to his office. This head of the war department is none other than Jiang Baili and Cai Yi's old acquaintance, known as another of the "three heroes of non-commissioned officers", Zhang Xiaohuai.

In the original history, Zhang Xiaohuai, like countless talented young people of that era, was like a meteor, and before he could fully show his dazzling talent, he was buried in the long river of history.

In his early years, he entered the engineer class of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and joined the League under the introduction of Huang Xing. After graduating and returning to China, he was invited by Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, to join the curtain as a senator. In addition to being proficient in Japanese, Zhang Xiaohuai also knew German and English, which was rare among international students at that time. Soon after Zhang Xiaohuai returned to China after graduation, a nationwide revolutionary incident broke out, and he soon threw himself into the great changes of this era that had not happened the year before. However, after the revolution, after witnessing the ugly faces of the revolutionaries everywhere who were scattered and fighting for power and profit, he was full of disappointment, and after several turnovers, he came to the southwest to join his former friend.

It was here that Zhang Xiaohuai saw a different China. There are fewer deceitful and power-grabbing sites, and there are just various construction sites and hot construction scenes. Everything here seems so vibrant, so peaceful here, and so hot here. Zhang Xiaohuai, who was in a surging mood, soon joined the Communist Party under the introduction of Jiang Baili and Cai Yi after withdrawing from the League, and was appointed as the head of the Operations Department of the General Staff of the Southwest Army.

The War Department of the General Staff is a well-deserved boss in the General Staff sequence. The War Department is the most important department of the General Staff Department, which is a department on duty 24 hours a day, through which all military orders of the whole army are issued. It is the general command of the whole army, and in the event of a war, it directs all military operations.

After taking over the post of director of the Operations Department of the General Staff Department and spending more than half a month to familiarize himself with the various rules and regulations of the Southwest Army, which were both familiar and unfamiliar, Zhang Xiaohuai, the minister, began to do it with ease.

When he received Jiang Baili's call, Zhang Xiaohuai was reading the documents, and the southwest army had not had any major military operations recently, and he, the head of the war department, was not as busy as usual. After putting down the documents in his hand, Zhang Xiaohuai quickly came to Jiang Baili's office.

Looking at his friend sitting in front of him, Jiang Baili could be said to have a lot of emotion. In his early years, he studied at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, because of his hard work and excellent grades, he and Zhang Xiaohuai and Cai Yi were ranked in the top three. Unexpectedly, after many years, the three of them were able to work together again.

"Chief of the General Staff." Zhang Xiaohuai saluted first. Although he and Jiang Baili are friends, they still have to talk about the humility of the upper and lower levels in the army.

"Yun Nong, you take a look at this first." As Jiang Baili spoke, he handed over the telegram sent by Luo Peijin.

Zhang Xiaohuai took the telegram handed over by Jiang Baili, and after glancing at it, the essence in his eyes flashed. He had also heard the news of the attack on the baggage brigade of the Fourth Division, after all, the General Staff Department was such a place, and it was not big or small, and some news spread quite quickly.

"Could it be that we are going to do something to Shaanxi?" Zhang Xiaohuai was quick to express his guess. It stands to reason that such a matter that the Fourth Division can handle by itself, and it is not the turn of him, the minister, to personally step out, after all, the dignified General Staff Operations Department is used to draw up a formal combat plan or an emergency response plan, and it is not a place to deal with such trivial matters. But now that he has come to the office of the chief of the general staff, it is obvious that the above is going to carry out a major military operation against Shaanxi.

Zhang Xiaohuai's talent has nothing to say, you must know that for the annexation of Shaanxi, there are only a few high-level people in the entire southwest who know it, and it is obvious that Zhang Xiaohuai does not belong to one of these few people. With just a telegram and the question of his position, Zhang Xiaohuai clearly judged the next operational direction of the Southwest Army. Looking at the leopard in the tube, this person's ability can be seen.

Jiang Baili was not too skeptical of his friend's ability. After nodding slightly, he said: "These things that our party planned earlier, and just made a decision a few days ago, it is rare that there is such a good excuse at this moment, and it is imperative to do it." Yun Nong, your Operations Department and the Intelligence Department should coordinate and come up with an operational plan for Shaanxi as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Hearing Jiang Baili's words, Zhang Xiaohuai quickly made a guarantee.

This is the primary task he received after taking up the post of Minister of Operations, and he has no pressure at all to attack Shaanxi, who has already abandoned his status as an alliance at this time. After being displaced and traveling around for half a year, Zhang Xiaohuai had long seen clearly what kind of people those revolutionary party overseers in various provinces in the country were. If you want to talk about the whole country, who can save China and make China strong now, it depends on the Communist Party.
