After speaking, Chairman Jiang looked at the two of them and asked, "Respect, resignation, what good plan do you two have?" ”

Chen Cheng's eyes rolled and said, "Entrust the seat, there is a plan for the humble position." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Tell me about it." Chairman Jiang immediately waved his hand.

"As the committee said, the strength of our Central Army in North China is not large, but the existence of the central government to balance all aspects of forces.

It was not suitable to help the Northeast Army deal with Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army, which was an elite force that neither the Japanese nor the Russians could beat.

(Pig) (Pig) We can't afford to take such a big risk to fight with them, so I suggest that the commission immediately send a telegram to Han Fuqu, chairman of Shandong Province, and Yan Xishan of Shanxi, and order them to send their troops north to Pingjin to assist the Northeast Army in resisting the attack of the Northeast Frontier Army, and let them take the lead, while our Central Army will reap the benefits. ”

He Yingqin and Chairman Jiang both nodded in agreement when they heard this, and He Yingqin said with some doubts: "It's not impossible to resign this method, if Zhang Xinghan takes Pingjin and becomes bigger, then the first thing that will be endangered is his Yan Baichuan's Shanxi territory, so the probability of the Jin Sui army sending troops is greater."

It's just that Han Fuqu is a former general of the Northwest Army, this person is good at opportunism, and he is unwilling to live under others, in order to preserve his strength, I am afraid he may not send troops. ”

As soon as he heard this, Chairman Jiang said resolutely: "Niang Xipi, I can't kill Yan Baichuan, a Han Fuqu can still be killed, respectfully, you go to Shandong in person, if Han Fuqu does not obey the military order, he will be removed from his post and investigated." ”

The reason why Chairman Jiang had a bad impression of Han Fuqu was that Han Fuqu had been vigorously developing his strength in the land of Qilu since he took refuge with Chairman Chiang, and he had repeatedly wanted to exclude the forces of the Central Army from Shandong and become the king of Shandong.

For the sake of the overall situation, Chairman Chiang has never paid attention to his small actions, but now the situation in the Pingjin area has changed abruptly, and the stakes are significant. Chairman Chiang couldn't help but be angry.

He Yingqin was very clear about the grievances and grievances here, and when he saw that Chairman Jiang was murderous, he nodded and responded: "Okay, please rest assured, I will handle this matter carefully." ”

"Well, I will let Liu Zhi and Hu Zongnan cooperate with your actions, if Han Fuqu dares to disrespect the orders of the central government, the military commander will also cooperate with you in action." Chairman Jiang made a speech.

He Yingqin nodded, relieved himself, there were Liu Zhi and Hu Zongnan in the military. With the assistance of the military commander in secret, this trip to Shandong will be nine out of ten.

Taiyuan, Shanxi, the residence of the provincial chairman of Yan Xishan.

Yan Xishan also received a telegram from Yu Xuezhong and others asking for help, which convened Yang Aiyuan, Shang Zhen and other confidants and generals to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think all of you here already know what is happening in the Pingjin area, and I want to hear your opinions when I summoned you here today. In this battle of Pingjin, will our Jin Sui army watch the fire from the other side and watch the excitement, or will we send troops to fight with Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army? Yan Xishan sat in the first place, and said in a thick Shanxi Wutai mountain pass.

Shang Zhen and the others looked at each other. In the end, Yang Aiyuan, who was the most popular, was the first to speak: "Chairman, from the humble point of view, we should send troops." ”

"Oh? Explain why. Yan Xishan waved his hand, and did not forget the old hatred and said, "Don't forget, everyone." At the beginning of the Central Plains War, it was Zhang Hanqing's support of troops into the customs that led to our fiasco. ”

Yang Aiyuan paused and said, "Chairman, in the past, we did have a bitter enmity with Zhang Xueliang. But at this time and at that time, Zhang Xueliang has now become a lost dog, and the army of hundreds of thousands has been sharply reduced to less than two-thirds.

It is already a toothless tiger, but Zhang Xinghan, a rising star, has defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Army in less than three years, and now it has occupied the four northeastern provinces and the Goryeo Peninsula, becoming a veritable new king of the Northeast.

This person's methods are extraordinary, and if he is allowed to develop like this, sooner or later, the whole of North China will fall into his hands.

Now he is attacking Pingjin, it seems that he is avenging Zhang Xueliang's attack on Jinzhou last year, but after careful analysis, it is not difficult to find how ambitious he is.

First occupy Pingjin, echo with Rehe, and then plot Hebei, Shanxi, Suiyuan, Chahar. ”

After listening to Yang Aiyuan's analysis, he couldn't sit still when the old god was in Chief Yan, who was still there, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn, don't even say anything, send troops, send troops immediately, and you must not let Zhang Xinghan, this kid, monopolize Pingjin." ”

"The chairman is wise." Yang Aiyuan said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Chairman, we have little chance of winning against the Northeast Frontier Army alone, I think we can unite Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying and the Central Army to send troops together to resist Zhang Xinghan's troops going south with absolute superiority, so as to reduce the battle losses of our army, and successfully curb the expansion of Zhang's army in the pass." ”

"Well, that's good, that's good, I'll send a message to Jiang Zhongzheng." Yan Xishan nodded again and again, becoming more and more satisfied with his confidant.

Yan Xishan's voice fell, and the attendant adjutant Xu Youde walked in hurriedly, saluted Yan Xishan and reported, "Chairman, call from Nanjing." ”

"Oh?" Yan Xishan looked at Yang Aiyuan with some surprise, and said in his heart, I was just looking for someone Jiang, and someone Jiang came?

"Bring it quickly." Yan Xishan waved his hand at Xu Youde.

Xu Youde stepped forward and handed the message to Yan Xishan, who squinted his eyes with the message and looked at it, but his face was not abnormal.

Yang Aiyuan asked tentatively: "Chairman, what does Nanjing's telegram say?" ”

"Damn, this Jiang Zhongzheng didn't have a good heart, before Lao Tzu looked for him, he took the initiative to find him, and let us send troops to assist the Northeast Army to resist the invasion of the Northeast Frontier Army." Yan Xishan's face was not right.

Yang Aiyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Chairman, we really can't rush the matter of sending troops. ”

"What do you say? No troops? Will that work? Yan Xishan was unexpectedly worried: "If we don't send troops, will Zhang Xueliang's remnants of the defeated army be able to withstand Zhang Xinghan's attack?" If you can't resist it, and when Beiping is captured, won't it be too late? ”

Yang Aiyuan smiled and said: "Chairman, don't be anxious, no matter how bad the Northeast Army is, they still have nearly 200,000 troops, and they can still hold it in a short period of time relying on the natural danger of Shanhaiguan."

Isn't there Xu Tingyao's Central Army on the front line of Baoding and Cangzhou, since Chairman Chiang ordered us to send troops to relieve the siege of Pingjin together with the Central Army, then we will quickly transfer our troops out of Yangquan, Shijiazhuang to move closer to Baoding, and advance together with Xu Tingyao and other units of the Central Army. ”

Yan Xishan quickly came back to his senses after tasting the product, and said with great joy: "If you want to get it, if you want it, just do it, and Xingru, you have to arrange for someone to contact Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying as soon as possible, so that they can abandon their previous suspicions and deal with Zhang Xinghan together, the reason why the two of them will fight and lose both sides, isn't the culprit this cunning Zhang Xinghan?!" ”

"Yes, humble." Yang Aiyuan bowed his head and replied.

Yan Xishan was overjoyed, stood up and said to Shang Zhen: "Brother Qiyu, you will lead the team in the matter of sending troops." ”

"Yes!" Shang Zhen gladly accepted the order.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, outside the Shanhaiguan, Niu Erzhu led the infantry and one tank regiment to the Shanhaiguan in a hurry.

As soon as they arrived, Niu Erzhu called the air force to carry out air raids and bombardment on the Northeast Army in Shanhaiguan to deter and disintegrate the morale of the defenders in the pass.

After the air raid ended, the smoke of gunpowder in Shanhaiguan was not cleared, and Niu Erzhu commanded the troops to take the lead in launching an attack on Shanhaiguan.

The tank regiment had strong firepower, and nearly 100 75mm tank guns formed a powerful artillery fire, which suppressed the defenders of Shanhaiguan and could not even lift their heads.

The officers and men of an infantry battalion shouted slogans and, under the cover of tank units, launched a formal charge towards the wall.

"Rush, kill!" Hundreds of officers and men of the Northeast Frontier Army shouted to kill the heavens, and under the cover of tanks, they quickly approached the wall without fear of death.

In the rear, Niu Erzhu, accompanied by several officers, was holding a telescope to observe the progress of the battle.

The officers and men of the Northeast on the wall were first bombarded by the air force of the Northeast Frontier Army, and then hit by the fierce fire of the tank artillery regiment, suffering heavy casualties, and the machine gun fire of the tank regiment was even more suppressed, and they could not raise their heads.

It was not until the Northeast Frontier Army rushed to within 200 meters that the officers and men of the Northeast relied on the city fortifications and stubbornly opened fire.

For a time, there were loud gunshots and explosions in Shanhaiguan, and the flames soared into the sky.

Niu Erzhu's troops stormed for three hours, and finally stopped the first attack due to the stubborn resistance of the Northeast Army.

Although it failed to capture Shanhaiguan, it caused considerable casualties to the defenders, according to post-war statistics, in these three hours, a battalion of the 57th Army of the Northeast Army guarding the front line suffered more than half of the casualties, and was almost disabled.

This is the gap in weaponry and firepower between the two sides, even if it is defended according to danger, if the Northeast Army wants to resist the attack of the Northeast Frontier Army, it can only fill it with human lives.

That night, near Changping, Zhang Xinghan led more than 5,000 cavalry into Changping, and at this moment he was beating horses and moving slowly.

Zhang Xinghan rode on a horse, and the saddle was not equipped with a saber, but the Longquan sword given to him by Sun Dianyinggong in the past.

After Zhang Xinghan used it a few times, he liked it more and more, and now he carries it as a sword.

The reason why they slowed down their advance was that now that they had entered the territory of Changping, they had to slow down in case the enemy found out, and at the same time, Zhang Xinghan was also waiting for darkness to come, and after nightfall, his cavalry troops could quickly bypass Changping and march directly to Beiping.
