"Commander-in-chief, An Yi good news! After an hour and 10 minutes of fierce fighting, Fengcheng was recovered at 7:10 a.m., destroying more than 7,800 enemies and capturing more than 4,600 enemies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chen Bui hurriedly entered Commander-in-Chief Chiang's study with the good news in his hand, and looked excitedly at Commander-in-Chief Chiang, who had not slept all night.

Chiang Kai-shek put down his hands kneading his temples, raised his head in surprise, hesitated for a moment and suddenly stood up, took the message and looked at it urgently, read it twice before putting it down, and sighed with relief:

"Niang Xipi, I just said that there is no battle that An Yi can't fight! The two armies of He Guiyan and Xia Lingbing can finally turn the corner from danger, and the other two armies on the eastern front have no worries about the west at all, good, very good! Worthy of being my student......"

Chen Bui said with a smile: "The generals received a good report from General An as soon as they entered the headquarters early in the morning, and under the surprise, they all gathered in front of the map to speculate on the course of the battle. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction: "Yesterday. Yimin (Zhu Shaoliangzi) reported to me in detail, An Yi did better than I imagined, and now I want to know what method he used to make a defeated army that escaped from the battle with no morale to enter the battle and win in just half a day, which is the most remarkable and critical! Let's go to the front and see, today's battle will be fierce and complicated, and I will take charge myself. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Bui hurriedly packed up the desktop documents, and finally. I didn't forget to help Chiang Kai-shek get a special teacup, and due to the heavy business recently, Chiang Kai-shek also began to drink some weak tea to refresh himself.

The general headquarters is busy, and there are confidential staff. The urgent reports submitted by the communications staff officers involved everyone's nerves:

The western front, Jinxiang, arrived last night to the west of Jinxiang in the second army Shiyou. After a night of small-scale testing and attack, the third division finally launched a fierce battle with Sun Chuanfang's second army at eight o'clock this morning. In the middle, Gu Zhutong's Ninth Army of the First Army took the lead in rushing into Taierzhuang; After a tug-of-war that lasted for two days and three nights, Jiang Dingwen's First Army suddenly broke through the canal defense line in the early morning, using the cover of powerful artillery fire, and then launched a fierce attack on the enemy who retreated to Hanzhuang.

On the left flank, in the direction of Yutai, the enemy 4th Division surrounded the west of He Yaozu's department. Due to the urgency of Jinxiang, it has left the battlefield at three o'clock in the morning, galloped west to aid Jinxiang, the enemy in the north immediately increased the intensity of the attack, in the fierce battle in the early morning, He Yaozu 40th Army instructor division commander General Gong Xian was killed, instructor company battalion regiment three pole commander nearly half of the sacrifice, but the battle situation is still stable; In addition, after receiving a telegram from General An Yi, General He Yaozu ordered General Xia Douyin to lead the supplementary division of the 27th Army to suddenly turn around and move south, and attack Peixian with the 71st Division, which had rushed to take advantage of the victory, and strive to break the encirclement behind him in one fell swoop.

Shanxian County, General Fang Zhenwu called: The enemy army is due to the fierce battle in Jinxiang. Fang had to shrink the defensive line to secure the Jining gateway, the 10th Division of the Anhui Army, which occupied Shanxian, had gone north and headed for the Jinxiang battlefield, but the 9th Division was inexplicably eastward, estimated to be Fengxian, due to the enemy's retreat, the 4th Army occupied Shanxian again for rest.

The right wing of the Eastern Front, Chen. The 26th Army of Zhuo took advantage of the victory to attack Linyi, and the 37th Army of Chen Tiaoyuan defeated the enemy defending Qinghu and took the Shiliang River directly......

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ge Jingen hurriedly came to the side of Commander-in-Chief Chiang and Zhu Peide in front of the large map:

"General An Yi called, after repeated reconnaissance, it can be confirmed that the 10th Division of the 3rd Army of the Sun Army withdrew from Shanxian County and rushed to Jinxiang in the north, and the enemy's 9th Division is galloping east to aid Feng County, and has now reached the Zhaozhuang line 14 kilometers west of Feng County.

General An judged that since the independent division had cut off the main communication routes around Fengxian, the enemy's 9th Division coming from the west had not yet learned that Fengxian had been occupied by our army, and General An decided to ambush the enemy's 9th Division in the west of Fengxian County, and asked the commander-in-chief to send a telegram to General Fang Zhenwu's troops to the north and attack Jinxiang with all their might, so as to prevent the enemy from Jinxiang from going south to support Fengxian.

In addition, General An Yi asked the headquarters to replenish all kinds of artillery shells and machine rifle ammunition as soon as possible. ”

"He only has two divisions of troops in his hands now, is it enough?" Zhu Peide asked worriedly.

Ge Jingen nodded in agreement: "Yes! At present, only the 72nd Division of General Pan Shanzhai is stationed in Feng County, with a total of only 7,000 people, and the occupation of Feng County in a fierce battle must have lost a lot of troops, not to mention the fact that it has to guard more than 4,600 prisoners, and the 72nd Division basically cannot help the independent division. Although the enemy's ninth division came at the same time, it is a tired division, but the independent division has just finished a battle for less than three hours, and the strength of each other is equal, and the independent division is superior to the enemy in only two points, one is morale and the other is firepower, to ambush an opponent of equal strength in the area of Pingchuan, it is estimated that it will be another tough battle, if the fight is not good, the situation in Fengxian will become very complicated, if the enemy army from the direction of Yutai divides a division directly into Fengxian, the consequences are worrying! ”

Chiang Kai-shek did not express his opinion, but stared at the Fengxian area on the map for a long time, and Zhu Peide and Ge Jingen saw this situation, and it was difficult to say anything.

After five or six minutes of silence, Commander-in-Chief Jiang made up his mind: "You have to believe An Yi, from the beginning of the Northern Expedition to the present, he has never fought uncertain battles, since he asked us to contact Fang Zhenwu's army to cooperate with him, it shows that he has seen the whole battle situation."

I estimate that An Yi is likely to end this battle within six hours, as for how to fight I think he has his own way, he will not be blind to the possible danger in the direction of Yutai, and the enemy army on the front line of Yutai is the closest to Fengxian, which is also twenty-eight kilometers, and it will take at least six hours based on the normal marching time, and it will take at least six hours to do it, and it will also need to throw away the baggage and travel all the way to do it.

Therefore, I insist that An Yi is well thought out, we should fully support him, and immediately order the Quartermaster Department to send him enough ammunition by truck, as long as he defeats the enemy's division, it will be equivalent to tearing a big gap in the enemy's entire defense line, directly threatening the flank of the enemy defending Yutai, He Guiyan's three army corps will be much easier to fight, and then An Yi can wave his division north without any scruples, and after outflanking the enemy's flank, Sun Chuanfang will also be a complete failure! ”

"Commander-in-Chief Takami! The subordinates will arrange it. ”

Ge Jingen no longer had any hesitation, it was not that he could not see the overall situation, nor did he not understand An Yi's resourcefulness and the combat effectiveness of the independent division, but he was unable to make such a big decision, and he was unable to take the possible risks and responsibilities that came from them.

Zhu Peide did not think so deeply as Ge Jingen, nor did Chiang Kai-shek see so thoroughly, after listening to Chiang Kai-shek's words, he realized that An Yi's entire plan was by no means a simple ambush war, from An Yi's request for Chiang Kai-shek to urgently order Fang Zhenwu's troops to attack Jinxiang in the north, you can see An Yi's far-reaching vision:

As long as Fang Zhenwu Xun goes north, the two divisions of the Second Army of the Sun Army in Jinxiang and the Tenth Division of the Third Army will be attacked from both sides by Shi Yousan and Fang Zhenwu, not only can they not divide troops to aid Yutai and Fengxian, but they need Sun Chuanfang to transfer troops from elsewhere to help, otherwise once Jinxiang falls, the gate of Jining will be opened, and the First Group Army of Sun's Army in Yutai will fall into the encirclement of the revolutionary army's three-way army.

Therefore, as long as An Yi eliminates the Ninth Division that is rushing to Fengxian, the defense capability between Jinxiang and Yutai of the Anhui army will be greatly weakened, and An Yi, who has no worries, can easily choose to attack Yutai or Jinxiang, and as long as Yutai and Jinxiang are captured by the revolutionary army, Sun Chuanfang's entire defense line will collapse from then on.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled at the pensive Zhu Peide: "Brother Yizhi, your chief of staff is not simple, he made the entire battle situation unrecognizable and extremely complicated within two days of his arrival at the front line, I estimate that Sun Chuanfang is now restless and unwilling." ”

Zhu Peide praised the last sentence: "Famous teachers produce high apprentices, or Principal Jiang has a good education!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek, who was in a happy mood, still wanted to be polite, Chen Bui had already come behind him and whispered, Chiang Kai-shek seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly instructed Zhu Peide to turn around and walk out of the door with a few words, and after a while, he came to the spacious and elegant front hall of the Shuaifu, and whispered an apology to Song Meiling, who had been waiting for a long time:

"I'm so busy with military affairs that I almost forgot to see you off, I'm sorry! Let's go, I'll go with you to say goodbye to the members of the condolence group. ”

"Wait, Darling!"

Song Meiling raised her hand to sort out the cover of the jacket pocket of Chiang Kai-shek's military uniform: "I know that the war is very tense, you don't have to send it far, several representatives of the condolence group are talking with the people from the Political Training Department in the compound, you can meet them later." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded gently: "It's easy to get through the most difficult days, and when the first phase of the war is over, I will go back to Nanjing." The boat is bumpy all the way, you take care. ”

Song Meiling nodded lightly, took out a letter from her handbag and handed it to Chiang Kai-shek: "Darling, this is a letter written by Yun'er to An Yi, you can hand it over for her, Yun'er is very sad, from coming to Xuzhou to leaving now, I haven't been able to say a word to An Yi, I originally arranged to have breakfast yesterday morning, but I didn't know that you called An Yi away before dawn, and then I saw that you were busy and didn't want to disturb you, so I asked for a car to take Yun'er to the military camp in the north of the city, and wanted to personally inform An Yi to have dinner with our condolence group, and find an opportunity for Yun'er to talk to An Yi alone, After all, Yun'er fell in love with a man for the first time when she was so old, who knew that the barracks were already empty, and only the logistics soldiers of a company of the independent regiment were left, Yun'er cried at the time, and at the end of the month, she was going to follow the fourth sister's family to study in the UK, and she didn't know when she would come back, alas......"

Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, and shook his head helplessly: "Darling, I don't care about this matter, you also know the deep relationship between Mr. Ou Yaoting's family and the second sister's family, and the second sister also recognizes Ou Chuer as her goddaughter, An Yi and Mr. Ou have a relationship like father and son, and they have been in love with Ou Chuer before, and the entire upper echelons of the business, military, and political circles know about it, if Yun'er also falls in love with An Yi, things will be difficult to do!" ”

Song Meiling sighed again: "I also know that it is difficult to do, but I feel uncomfortable when I see Yun'er sad like that, and this An Yi is too torturous...... We just handed over this letter for Yun'er, there is no other good way, this letter Yun'er wrote for a night, while crying and writing, tears dripped onto the letterhead She changed the paper and re-wrote, wrote and cried all night, and did not finish writing until dawn, it is estimated that she did not want An Yi to see herself so sad. ”

Chiang Kai-shek didn't have a taste in his heart, put the letter in his pocket, buttoned it, walked out of the door side by side with Song Meiling to say goodbye to the representatives of the condolence group, and walked a few steps Song Meiling asked An Yi where he is now? Chiang Kai-shek replied in a low voice: Still on the front line in Fengxian, a brutal battle is waiting for him......
