In the end, Xu Tingyao weighed again and again, and chose the latter in terms of personal safety and military affairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Adjutant Qin, send a telegram to the 4th Division and the 25th Division, asking them to immediately stop going south and garrison Anyang and Handan on the spot." As soon as Xu Tingyao's words came out, all the officers present did not change their color.

The adjutant surnamed Qin was even more shocked and said, "Junzao, is your safety in this way?!" ”

Xu Tingyao didn't wait for him to continue, he raised his hand to stop it, and said: "I have made up my mind, I don't need to say more, in addition, I will immediately send a telegram to Chairman Jiang in Nanjing, and Yu led his troops to rush to the aid of Puyang, unfortunately fell into the enemy's treacherous scheme, and was defeated and surrounded.

&[email protected]/* */w.; In order to avoid the re-enactment of the Battle of Puyang, before the enemy situation is unknown, do not order Tang Enbo and Guan Lin's troops to rush to the aid of the Ministry ......! ”

The adjutant was helpless, so he had to bow his head and respond: "Yes." Then they were ordered to leave.

………………

In Anyang County, Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming led the main force of the department after a night of rapid marching, and finally rushed to Anyang from Hengshui.

Like the 2nd Division, due to the urgency of the battle on the front line, Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming did not even plan to enter Anyang City, so they led their troops around the city.

The main force passed through Anyang County, and a communications soldier hurriedly ran to Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming with a radio station on his back.

He stood up and saluted the two of them and said, "Division, subordinate, and military seats." ”

Du Yuming stretched out his hand to take the telegram, read it hurriedly, his face suddenly changed greatly, Guan Linzheng on the side saw Du Yuming like this, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Brother Guangting, what's wrong?" ”

Du Yuming suddenly raised his head and said: "Huang Jie's 2nd Division was ambushed in the area of Wagang Town, the whole army was annihilated, Huang Jie's life and death are unknown, and now the military headquarters is surrounded by heavy troops of the Northeast Army in Tangyin County, and there is only one guard battalion around the military seat. ”

"What?" Guan Linzheng's face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief: "How can this be? Huang Dayun can also be regarded as a veteran general in the army who has experienced a hundred battles. How could you be so easily ambushed and wiped out? Could it be that the combat power of the Northeast Army has become so terrifying? (Huang Dayun, Huang Jie.) ）

"What did the military seat say in the telegram, did you want us to immediately reinforce Tangyin County?" Guan Linzheng asked quickly.

Du Yuming shook his head and said: "No, not only did the military seat not let us reinforce us, but ordered us to stop advancing immediately and stay in Anyang on the spot. ”

After speaking, Du Yuming handed the telegram in his hand to Guan Linzheng.

After Guan Linzheng took the telegram and read it, he sighed: "The military seat is really far-sighted, and he can focus on the overall situation, regardless of personal safety. He is a role model for us, and we must not sit idly by and ignore him while he is in danger. ”

Du Yuming nodded in agreement with his proposal, and Guan Linzheng continued: "Brother Guangting, I think we should immediately notify Tang Enbo, and let him quickly speed his troops to come to join us, and concentrate the forces of our two divisions to rush south to aid Tangyin County, so that even if we can't defeat the Northeast Army, it should not be a problem to break through from the military seat." What do you think? ”

Du Yuming pondered for a while and said, "Master, with Tang Enbo's character, I'm afraid I won't agree to risk going south." Moreover, we must not only have received this telegram from the military seat, but he must have received it, and he can completely excuse himself on the grounds that he has a telegram from the military seat. ”

"So what are we going to do? Do you just sit back and watch the military seat get into trouble and ignore it? Guan Lin said.

"Not really. The military seat must be saved. Du Yuming said.

However, the concerns of the military seat in the telegram are not unreasonable, and the enemy situation is unknown. If we rush south with the strength of only one of our divisions, I am afraid that we will probably be taken advantage of by the enemy. Guan Linzheng said with some concern.

"Therefore, we should immediately send a telegram to the commissioner and ask him to come forward, and with the commission's order, Tang Enbo will not dare not act with us." Du Yuming broke the way in one word.

Guan Linzheng pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, just do what you said in Guangting, and the communication soldiers will send me a power message immediately." ”

………………

Outside Tangyin County.

"General, according to the intelligence transmitted by our army's reconnaissance planes and intelligence officers, the enemy's 25th Army has arrived in Anyang, and the 4th Division has arrived in Handan, but the strange thing is that they did not rush south to reinforce, but stopped advancing and stood by in the above two places." Guo Zhong was extremely puzzled and said, "Haven't they received a telegram from the enemy army in the city asking for help?" ”

Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully: "I'm afraid it's not that they didn't receive Xu Tingyao's message asking for help, but that Xu Tingyao didn't ask for help at all." ”

"Huh?" Guo Zhong was puzzled and said, "What does this mean?" Xu Tingyao is now under siege, his 2nd Division has been completely defeated by us, it stands to reason that if he wants to get out of trouble, he can only hope for Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng's second division, there is no reason not to let them rush to reinforcements. ”

"Because Xu Tingyao had already guessed that we were going to surround the point and send reinforcements, he ordered Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng to give up reinforcements for themselves." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.

"Oh." Guo Zhong said with some admiration: "This Xu Tingyao is really selfless enough, isn't he afraid of death?" ”

"Huh." Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "Zhongzi, you remember that no one in this world is not afraid of death, but there are times and some things that will force people to choose death helplessly, and at this time, life is not very important." ”

"Boss, if the enemy doesn't take the bait, then what should we do? Did you order the 2nd Regiment to attack immediately and capture Xu Tingyao alive? Guo Zhong asked.

"No hurry, wait." Zhang Xinghan was still a little unwilling to let go of Tang Enbo's 4th Division and Guan Linzheng's 25th Division like this, and if these two divisions were not resolved, Zhang Xinghan always felt a sense of crisis and discomfort like a fish in his throat.

In case they find out the reality on their side, these two divisions will suddenly insert a pole in the back when they are heading west into Xinxiang and Jincheng, which will be very bad, so if there is a chance to eat these two divisions as well, Zhang Xinghan is willing to waste some time waiting and seeing.

………………

Xuchangcheng, Chairman Chiang was concerned about the Hebei war situation, and Bai Chongxi took a plane from Nanjing and quickly flew to Xuchang at the risk of being shot down by the Northeast Air Force.

In fact, Zhang Xinghan did not intend to really kill Chairman Chiang at all, so that he would really carry out the charge of provoking a civil war as a war criminal.

Relying on his own strength, he could force Chairman Chiang to sit down and negotiate in a head-to-head contest, and finally leave the inner circle of power of the Nationalist Government.

There was no need to risk his prestige to surprise him with a surprise attack.

Otherwise, with the current strong strength of the air force and navy of the Northeast Frontier Army, there are still many means to raid the residence of Chairman Chiang.

Chairman Jiang and Bai Chongxi and his entourage had just settled in the Xuchang camp, and they had not had time to take a shower and rest.

got the latest battle reports sent by Xu Tingyao, Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming and others.

After reading the battle report and having a detailed understanding of the latest progress of the war situation in Hebei, Chairman Jiang frowned and said unhappily: "How did Yunda do it this time?" It was so easily defeated by the Northeast Army. ”

As mentioned above, Huang Jie is a graduate of the first phase of Whampoa, a proud protégé of Chairman Jiang, who has experienced a hundred battles and is deeply respected by Chairman Jiang.

It is precisely because of this that Chairman Jiang did not burst into a rage, but only said a few words with slight displeasure and did not delve into it.

If it had been someone else, maybe Chairman Jiang would have jumped three feet high in anger and scolded Niang Xipi.

Bai Chongxi said with a solemn expression: "This Northeast Army is fighting rapidly, cunning and changeable, looking at the Northeast Army, except for Zhang Xinghan, no one else can eat Huang Jie's 2nd Division without much effort, and Xu Tingyao is under siege, so it must be Zhang Xinghan who personally led the army to fight, and Huang Jie is so defeated that he does not complain." ”

After complaining with dissatisfaction, and hearing Bai Chongxi say this, Chairman Jiang really didn't have any follow-up, and directly asked Xiao Zhuge who was still frowning and pondering: "Jiansheng, since Zhang Xinghan personally led the army, now that Yuexiang is under siege, what is your opinion on his arrangement?" To save or not to save? ”

Bai Chongxi pondered for a moment and said: "Xu Yuexiang is a veteran general in the army, he has made great achievements for the party and the country, and he has managed the army well, and he is deeply loved by the officers and soldiers of the 17th. ”

"What does Jiansheng mean saved?" Chairman Jiang said worriedly: "But Yuexiang also said in the telegram that he is now under siege, and the Northeast Army deliberately besieges but does not attack, intending to use him as a bait to ambush Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng's second department. And Zhang Xinghan is cunning and insidious, so he has to guard against it. ”

Bai Chongxi said worriedly: "Commission, in fact, what I'm worried about now is not whether I can rescue Xu Tingyao, but the overall victory or defeat of the entire battle."

Now that we already know the purpose of Zhang Xinghan's encirclement and reinforcements, we can order Tang Enbo and Guan Lin to join forces, increase vigilance, and advance to Tangyin.

The Northeast Army is short of troops, so it will definitely not be able to help them, so as long as they advance in this way, they will still be able to reach Tangyin County in the end, even if they can't defeat the Northeast Army, it will not be much of a problem to meet Xu Tingyao's breakthrough.

What really worries me is that Zhang Xinghan is as cunning as a fox, Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming and others are not his opponents, and in the process of rescue, he seized the opportunity to attack and defeated these two main divisions in one fell swoop.

According to Hu Zongnan's telegram, Zhang Xinghan ordered the air force of the Northeast Frontier Army to take off a large number of fighters to cruising and blockade the 300-mile waters of the Yellow River, and reinforcements from Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and other places could not go north.

If the 17th Army is completely defeated again, then we will no longer have the strength to restrain Zhang Xinghan from completing the strategic blockade of Shanxi. (To be continued......)
