Time passed quickly, the sky became brighter, and the onslaught of the Central Army for a night finally failed to work, and the gray collection stopped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fearing the air force and artillery attacks of the Northeast Army, the 25th Division of the Central Army and other units ended the night onslaught, turned defense into attack, and hid in defensive positions and fortifications.

In the city of Jincheng, after repelling a fierce attack by the central army at dawn, Zhang Xinghan returned from the south of the city.

This will be having breakfast with Guo Zhong and others in the command headquarters, supervising the battle all night, they are all tired, the cooking squad leader is very caring, before they came, prepared a pretty good breakfast.

For them to replenish the body pig - pig island - novel power and spirit.

After staying up all night, my body was tired and fell over in the morning, and my stomach was hungry and panicked.

In addition, Yanmen Pass had already been breached by the 3rd Group Army, and the battle of Shanxi would soon be clear, and the situation had fully developed in their favor.

Zhang Xinghan was in a good mood, grabbed steamed buns and porridge and ate them very deliciously.

I plan to sleep first and rest well after eating, anyway, the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army will not dare to attack during the day.

Just when he was talking and laughing with Guo Zhongyou and eating very deliciously, suddenly a person came outside, dusty, and saw that it was Wang Longxiang, who was supervising the battle in the north of the city.

"Long Xiang, it's just right, hot porridge and steamed buns with our Northeast sauce, come and eat some." Zhang Xinghan greeted him when he saw him.

Wang Longxiang sat down, did not rush to eat, but said with an excited look in his tired eyes: "General seat, all the Jin Sui troops in the north of the city have withdrawn. ”

"Oh? Is it? Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised, nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll be able to sleep more comfortably when I'm gone." ”

"Boss, do we need to send troops to pursue us? Could it be that Yang Aiyuan should be allowed to retreat to Taiyuan smoothly, wouldn't that be unfavorable to my two-way army to the north to capture Taiyuan? Wang Longxiang suggested.

Zhang Xinghan thought about it, at this time, sending troops to pursue at this time can certainly contain the Jin Sui army to return to Taiyuan, but it is obviously unrealistic to intercept them all.

The key point is that the central army gathered in the area around Tianjing Pass is no less than 60,000 or 70,000 people. His own troops are insufficient, and then think about the terrain from Jincheng to Changzhi, the Jin Sui army only needs to leave a small part of the troops to block, and the main force can calmly and quickly retreat north.

Zhang Xinghan dispelled the idea of pursuing, such a result is not big, it is better to let his precious troops have a good rest, after all, everyone's nerves have been highly tense for a day and a night, and they urgently need to rest.

At this time, another communication soldier came out of the communication room next to him and said to Zhang Xinghan: "General seat." I just received an update from the Secrecy Bureau. ”

"Oh? What's the situation? Zhang Xinghan asked for a long time.

"The latest information just obtained by the Secrecy Bureau shows that Chairman Jiang had sent a telegram to the generals of the Jin Sui Army north of Jincheng, Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu, asking them to continue to lead their troops to cooperate with the Central Army in besieging our troops in Jincheng.

Yang and Sun did not comply, and resolutely chose to lead the troops to retreat to Taiyuan, and Yan Xishan was furious when he heard this.

The chief of staff thought that Yan was already resentful, and with the Yanmen Pass being breached, it was already possible to surrender.

He suggested that the head seat could try to generate electricity for Yan Xishan. Looking at his reaction, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for Yan Xishan in advance, leaving a way to retreat, as for the conditions for surrender. The head office could satisfy Yan Xishan as much as possible, promising to give him enough rights to induce him after the successful reorganization of the new government.

If the general seat can leave the necessary troops to continue to hold the important place of Jincheng, the personal rate has been partial to the division to follow Yang and Sun Erbu to the north. First, it can delay the return of this Jin Sui army to aid Taiyuan, and second, it can echo with Liu Guodong and Shen Ke's department.

Further pressure on Yan Xishan from the overall strategic perspective will be more effective. How to dispose of it in the end. Please judge the general seat, and discuss it carefully. ”

After the communication soldier finished reading, Zhang Xinghan fell into deep thought, carefully savored Jiang Baili's words, Huo Ran Mingming, and immediately ordered: "Immediately in my name, send a telegram to Taiyuan, and present it to Brother Baichuan for reading, Xinghan Xingjun and Xing troops to attack Jinsui is really a last resort, now the country is decaying, the people's hopes have changed, Xinghan is beyond his strength, and wants to unite the strength of all colleagues to form a new government for the country and the people."

Gather all the strength of the Chinese nation to rejuvenate our China and strengthen our China.

I also hope that Brother Baichuan can focus on the overall situation, and lead the ministry to issue peace talks and telegrams, and after the matter is completed, the younger brother is willing to promote the elder brother as the president of the Executive Yuan, or the chairman of a certain province, and the brother can choose himself.

If the brother can lead the children of the Three Jin Dynasty to stop the war, the Three Jin Dynasty will be free from the war, and the people will be free from the scourge of swords.

The foolish opinion of the younger brother, but the brother is clear, and he urgently needs to hear back, and he hopes that the brother will be mistaken and quickly broken! ”

After arranging the surrender message, Zhang Xinghan solemnly said to Wang Longxiang: "Long Xiang, I decided to transfer a regiment of troops to the north, personally lead the troops north, and leave the rest of the troops to you and Jianguo to stick to Jincheng, this time you must be a hundred times more careful, before the battle of Taiyuan is divided, there must be no mistakes, understand?" ”

"Please rest assured, this time I will go all out, and there will never be any mistakes!" Wang Longxiang patted his chest and reassured.

"Okay." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, this time you bring the airborne brigade and the guard battalion, and the tank regiment will transfer another battalion, and we will form a mixed reinforced regiment and set off immediately." ”

"Yes." Guo Zhong hurriedly got up and answered.

………………

Luoyang, Chairman Chiang's temporary resignation.

Two military trucks were clustered in front of and behind a Ford speeding north of the city.

The car stopped, and before the heavily armed Central Army guards on the truck got out of the car, the back door of the sedan in the middle was pushed open, and Bai Chongxi, who looked a little tired, walked inside.

Walking straight towards the line, the adjutant who was sitting in the front row hurriedly got out of the car, and ran over without even closing the door.

After Bai Chongxi, who was still supervising the battle on the front line of Jincheng last night, learned the news of the loss of Yanmen Pass, he received an urgent telegram from Chairman Jiang, asking him to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to discuss the matter.

No, after receiving the order, Bai Chongxi did not dare to delay, crossed the Yellow River south overnight, and finally arrived in Luoyang in the afternoon.

At this time, at least half a day had passed since the withdrawal of the Jin Sui army and Zhang Xinghan led the army to quietly follow north.

After entering the line, Wang Shihe, who had been waiting for a long time, continued, sat in the study, and led him through the layers of security towards Chairman Jiang's study.

The two of them came to the outside of the study one after the other, the door was ajar, and Wang Shihe saluted respectfully: "Commission, President Bai has arrived." ”

"Is Kensheng here? Come on in. Chairman Chiang's voice was a little old, coming from inside.

Bai Chongxi nodded slightly to Wang Shihe, then pushed the door and walked in.

Chairman Jiang was facing the window with his cane at this time, with his back to him, and his back seemed a little lonely.

"Take a seat." Bai Chongxi saluted routinely.

Chairman Jiang did not turn around, but said, "Jiansheng, I summoned you so urgently to ask you what you think of the current situation?" ”

"The commission, the humble position, believes that now that Yanmen Pass has been breached, Taiyuan is in danger, and the panicked Yan Baichuan will definitely order Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu to lead their troops north to help.

If there is no assistance from Yang Aiyuan's troops, we may be afraid that it will be difficult to capture Jincheng in a short time, even if Jincheng is captured, without the encirclement of the Jin Sui army, Zhang Xinghan can also lead his troops to break through and escape when the situation is critical.

The bloody sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers before has become worthless. During this trip to the front, Bai Chongxi can be said to have watched the war with his own eyes, and has a new understanding of the combat strength of the Northeast Frontier Army under Zhang Xinghan.

In fact, he already secretly regretted in his heart, should they not participate in the battle between the Northeast Army and Nanjing this time.

Or rather, just stand on the wrong side.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Chairman Jiang suddenly turned around and snorted angrily: "Hmph, on the way you came, I got the news that Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu withdrew from the camp overnight last night and returned to Taiyuan to help. ”

"Huh?" Bai Chongxi was a little surprised, and asked, "Since the committee can learn the news in advance, hasn't it taken some measures to stop it?" ”

Chairman Jiang recounted the previous incident of wooing Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu.

Bai Chongxi couldn't help but choke after hearing this: "The commission is also wrong, Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu are Yan Baichuan's confidants, especially Yang Aiyuan, who leans on the humerus for a long time and attaches great importance to it.

The two of them are also loyal to Yan Baichuan, and if they are courted by the commission, they will definitely report to Yan Baichuan to show their loyalty, so Yan Xishan will definitely have a grudge against you.

If the battle situation is no longer favorable to the Jin Sui army, when the internal and external difficulties are in difficulty, Yan Xishan is likely to lead the Jin Sui army to compromise and surrender to Zhang Xinghan, so that the major events will be suspended! ”

Being analyzed by Bai Chongxi, Chairman Jiang suddenly felt bad, and said a little helplessly: "What Jiansheng said is that I was in a hurry at the time, but I didn't think about it so much, how can this be good?" ”

Bai Chongxi paused and pondered: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to ask President Wang of the Executive Yuan to come forward to contact Yan Baichuan, appease and persuade him to give up Taiyuan when necessary, and then order Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu's second division to immediately stop going north, return to Jincheng, and continue to encircle Zhang Xinghan with our central army." ”

"Yan Xishan has a gap in his heart, can he agree?" Chairman Chiang was a little worried.

"Commission, Wang Zhaoming has old friends with Yan Xishan, and he must be able to move him, but the commission also needs to give some benefits, and it can be promised that after the matter is completed, our Central Army will never get involved in the Jin Sui Army, and even North China can be ceded to Yan Xishan.

As long as Zhang Xinghan can be killed, it will all be worth it. Bai Chongxi said.

Chairman Jiang frowned and hesitated: "If you don't enter Shanxi, can you rely on the Jin Sui army to block Zhang Xinghan's attack?" After the arrival of our 500,000-strong army, how will we participate in the war? Is it just watching from outside this patio gate? ”

Bai Chongxi was a little anxious and said: "Commission, have you forgotten that as long as we can kill Zhang Xinghan, even if the Northeast Army occupies Shanxi, what will happen?"

At that time, Zhang Xinghan was either captured or killed, and the Northeast Army, including hundreds of thousands, was leaderless, and the commission could make Yan Xishan lead the Jin Sui army to a comprehensive counterattack, so that Hu Zongnan and Xue Yue led their troops from Shandong to Hebei, directly take Baoding and Pingjin, and then capture the four provinces outside the Guan, and seize Zhang Xinghan's foundation.
