Tianjing Guanbei, in a large tent of marching. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Xinghan, Sun Chu, Guo Zhong and other generals of the Northeast Army and the Jin Sui Army and Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu, Zhang Lingfu and other generals of the Central Army were drinking and talking.

Since both sides deliberately avoided some political topics and only talked about military affairs, everyone had a good conversation.

Some of them are classmates for many years, and some have also fought side by side in the Northern Expedition.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere becomes warm.

Regarding the performance of the Northeast Army in recent years, everyone also expressed their high appreciation purely from the position of military pig-pig island-novel.

Full of praise, Du Yuming and others also expressed their sincerity and convincing to the founder of the Northeast Army, of course, this is on the premise of putting aside political grievances.

Inadvertently, Zhang Xinghan said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he hoped to fight side by side with them and work together with the outside world, and everyone also showed great interest.

During the banquet, Zhang Xinghan cordially grabbed Zhang Lingfu's arm, held a wine glass and said to everyone present drunkenly: "Since the beginning of the army in Shenyang, he has fought devils, resisted Russians, fought hundreds of battles, experienced life and death, and encountered no less than 100 famous generals of the enemy country, but as of now, the only person who has been admired by Zhang Mou in his life is Zhang Lingfuer!" ”

When Zhang Xinghan said this, everyone present changed color and was in an uproar.

Whether it's the truth or the wine, as the saying goes, spit out the truth after drinking.

Zhang Xinghan's high evaluation of Zhang Lingfu is enough to make him famous all over the world.

But as the captured generals of the Central Army, they did not see it that way, and Wang Yaowu, as Zhang Lingfu's boss, was worried that this matter might have an extremely adverse impact on Zhang Lingfu's future future.

As a native of the third phase of Huangpu, he knew very well how suspicious their President Jiang and the chairman of the committee were, and Zhang Xinghan showed such enthusiasm and cordiality to Zhang Lingfu.

Even if Zhang Lingfu is still loyal to Chairman Jiang, I am afraid it will be difficult to eliminate the mustard in Jiang's heart.

As the backbone of the Whampoa generals, Tang Enbo was angry about this. thought that Zhang Lingfu had been co-opted by Zhang Xinghan and betrayed their Principal Jiang.

I silently wrote it down in my heart, and said secretly, when I have a chance to get out, I will definitely sue you Zhang Lingfu to the chairman.

Tang Enbo's reaction was of course due to hatred for Zhang Lingfu's possible betrayal of Chairman Chiang, who was loyal to him, but more of an element should be jealousy of Zhang Lingfu's dazzling performance in this battle of Hebei.

I am afraid that Zhang Lingfu, the junior brother of the fourth phase of Whampoa, will be favored and surpass him in the future.

And Zhang Lingfu himself was also surprised and delighted. His own personality is very arrogant, but Zhang Xinghan has few contemporary soldiers who make him admire in all fairness.

And Zhang Xinghan's achievements are already beyond the reach of many Whampoa generals.

Being able to be praised by Zhang Xinghan in front of everyone, Zhang Lingfu's feelings in his heart can be imagined.

Happy, he raised his glass with a slight drunkenness and said unintentionally: "Lingfu also admires the life deeds of the general, and the manly husband should be like this, if he has the opportunity, he is willing to mention the division of a brigade like the general." Sweep Wajima and set foot in Tokyo! ”

This banquet with different hearts and minds finally ended at ten o'clock in the evening.

After Wang Yaowu pulled the somewhat drunk Zhang Lingfu away, he found a place where no one was. He reprimanded in a low voice: "Lingfu, what you did today will ruin your past achievements. ”

Zhang Lingfu looked at his senior and senior with drunken eyes, and said puzzledly: "Master." What do you mean by that? ”

"Zhang Xinghan is so attracted to you, once it is passed in front of the commission, the commissioner is suspicious. What do you think the commission would think? Wang Yaowu said in a low voice.

Zhang Lingfu was a little dizzy in his head, and said without thinking: "Lingfu is loyal to the commission, the sun and the moon can be learned, and the committee will not be misunderstood."

Master, Zhang Xinghan is also a person in the world, I cherish him from heart to heart, and there is no second heart! ”

"Well, I hope so, you'd better do it yourself." Seeing this, Wang Yaowu had to sigh helplessly.

………………

Two days later, Liu Guodong, Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu, Xu Yongchang, Shang Zhen and Yang Aiyuan led the Northeast Army and the Jin Sui Army to arrive at Tianjing Pass, and the Northeast Army and the Jin Sui Army gathered in Jinnan had exceeded 250,000 people.

In the past two days, Liu Jianguo was ordered to lead his troops to capture Jiyuan, Jiaozuo, Xinxiang and many other counties north of the Yellow River.

The Central Army completely retreated south of the Yellow River.

After the army rested at Tianjing Pass for a day, Zhang Xinghan held a swearing-in meeting on the spot, and then left Sun Chu to lead 10,000 Jin Sui troops and 10,000 Northeast troops to garrison Jincheng, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo and other places.

More than 30,000 prisoners of the Central Army were also dispersed and temporarily escorted to various cities to be guarded.

With Commander Shang Zhen leading the 5,000 Jin Sui Army and the 5,000 Northeast Army as the vanguard, the economic source went south and prepared to cross the river to attack Luoyang.

Zhang Xinghan, Liu Guodong, Zhang Tingshu, Shen Ke, Xu Yongchang, Yang Aiyuan and other high-level generals led the army to follow up.

At the same time, he relocated his headquarters to Jiyuan County.

After stationing in Jiyuan, Zhang Xinghan ordered Liu Jianguo to lead three divisions east into Dezhou, meet the remaining troops in Dezhou, Liaocheng and other places, and prepare to attack Shandong in order to contain Han Fuqu's headquarters.

Respond to the main force of the Northeast Army to attack the Central Plains.

Since the Yellow River Railway Bridge had been blown up, Zhang Xinghan ordered the navy to send transport ships up the Yellow River.

However, the water level of the Yellow River was low, and large ships could not enter, and small boats were unusable, so they had to give up.

In the end, Zhang Xinghan still mobilized the bridge-building tank units attached to the tank regiments directly under the divisions of the 3rd Group Army to form a bridge-building tank group.

In the gap of the Yellow River railway bridge section that was blown up, the railway bridge was re-dredged by using bridge-erecting tanks.

Immediately, Shang Zhen led 10,000 forward troops across the Yellow River.

Due to the annihilation of the 4th, 25th, and 51st Divisions, Hu Zongnan had a serious shortage of troops, after all, the area he had to garrison included Xi'an and the huge Henan Province.

Coupled with the strong fire support of the air force of the Northeast Jinsui Coalition Army, Shang Zhen's forward troops were able to easily break through Mengjin.

A bridgehead was opened for the main forces to march into the Central Plains.

The situation had developed to this point, and Chairman Chiang left Hu Zongnan to guard the major large, medium, and small cities along the Yellow River, and did not expect that Hu Zongnan would really be able to resist the Northeast Army on the north bank of the Yellow River and protect the Central Plains.

The only requirement is to hope that he can hold out as long as possible, delay the advance of the Northeast Army, and slow down the process of the fall of the Central Plains.

Gain more time for the main forces of the Central Army and the main forces of the Gui system to return to Jiangnan to build a defensive line.

But when the Northeast Army and the Jin Sui Army combined with two or three hundred thousand troops really made a big move south.

The Central Plains guards, including Hu Zongnan himself, were all panicked, and large-scale retreats occurred in Kaifeng, Luoyang, Zhengxian (Zhengzhou) Lankao and other important places along the river.

These retreating crowds were not the soldiers of the garrison, but the families of officials of all sizes, the concubines they raised, and the fat and ointment they looted, and the huge ill-gotten gains.

For a time, on the official roads in various parts of the Central Plains, horse-drawn carriages and cars were crowded south, and scenes of people turning over on their backs occurred everywhere.

The officials were busy moving and running away, and ordinary soldiers of the national army still had any sense of fighting.

Moreover, these officials have been deducting military salaries at various levels on weekdays, and the vast number of officers and men at the grassroots level have long complained and suffered unspeakably.

The agents of the Northeast Army's Secret Bureau lurking in various places reported the situation to Zhang Xinghan in a timely manner.

Zhang Xinghan asked Shen Xingye to instruct the agents to take the opportunity to incite trouble in order to cause chaos among the defenders of the Central Army in various places as much as possible.

On the one hand, he ordered Liu Guodong, Xu Yongchang, Shang Zhen and others to lead the army to speed up the march.

In less than half a month, the coalition forces were like a bamboo, and successively captured Luoyang, Zhengxian, Kaifeng and other important places in the Central Plains.

When the Northeast Army approached the city, most of the defenders surrendered without a fight, and their commanders had already fled in advance, plus the agents were trumpeting the policies and treatment of the Northeast Army these days.

Therefore, when the tanks and combat vehicles of the Northeast Army arrived, they surrendered one after another.

The battle to cross the river went more smoothly than anyone could have imagined, and the Yellow River, which was pinned on by Chairman Chiang and Bai Chongxi, did not even play a penny's role.

Seventeen days later, Zhang Tingshu and Shang Zhen led their troops to capture Lankao City.

Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered them to lead their troops east to Shangqiu and prepare to attack Shandong.

In the past half a month, Liu Jianguo led three divisions of more than 50,000 troops to cross the Yellow River from Dong'e County and Qihe County to the south.

The troops attacked Jinan in two ways, and Han Fuqu led his troops to fight to the death, but was defeated by Liu Jianguo, who had the absolute superiority of the army and air force.

In just one week, Liu Jianguo broke through the city of Jinan, and Han Fuqu fled south in a hurry.

After breaking through the city of Jinan, Liu Jianguo complied with Zhang Xinghan's orders and divided his troops to capture Zibo, Tai'an and other important places in northern Lu.

After succeeding, he marched west from Tai'an to Heze and other places, preparing to join up with friendly forces attacking the Central Plains.

At the same time, it marched to Jining, Laiwu and other places to prepare to attack Xuzhou.

………………

In Nanjing, within half a month, the situation in the Central Plains and Shandong has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Chairman Chiang was furious in the conference room of the Central Military Commission at the moment.

"Niang Xipi, Hu Zongnan, this bastard, what the hell is he eating? Within half a month, several strategic points were lost in succession.

He still has 60,000 or 70,000 horses under his command, this is 60,000 or 70,000 pigs, let Zhang Xinghan cut them, and he can't kill them all in half a month, right? ”

Chairman Jiang was furious, and the senior generals of the Central Army attending the meeting were silent, and no one dared to intercede for Hu Zongnan at this time, after all, the performance of this battle was too poor.

Unexpectedly, after Chairman Jiang scolded him, he changed the conversation and said: "Han Fuqu also fought with rice buckets in Shandong, and hundreds of thousands of troops, relying on the natural dangers of the Yellow River, were lost in a row within half a month, Jinan, Tai'an and other military important places.

As a result, the Yellow River and Mount Tai are falsely described as natural dangers, which is simply a stupid pig-style command! (To be continued......)
