Chapter 515: Marching into southern Xinjiang
"Do you want Wu Peifu to march into Aksu?" Zheng Yiqian, who had put the documents away, saw that Liu Jun moved her hand back and forth between Aksu and Urumqi from time to time, so she stepped forward and asked.
Marching into Aksu, Liu Jun frowned, he really didn't think about this matter just now, but was thinking about whether to enter Tibet or not.
The Western Advance Corps, which can barely enter Tibet to fight, is only Luo Dacheng's Corps, Luo Dacheng's Corps are all Shaanxi soldiers and can adapt to the environment very well, while Zhang Yi's Corps and Wu Peifu's Corps are almost all plain soldiers and are not suitable for fighting in the mountains.
"Marching into Aksu?" Liu Jun turned his head and looked at Zheng Yiqian suspiciously, he didn't understand why Zheng Yiqian concluded that he was going to march into southern Xinjiang.
"Aksu, there is a Hotan River connected to Hotan, if you want to march into Tibet, then take Aksu, and then go south along the Hotan River, so that you can enter Hotan, and from Hotan, we can cross the Keriya Pass and enter Tibet." Speaking of this, Zheng Yiqian picked up the command cadre from the side and said again: "In the northwest of Tibet, man-machine is rare. It is conducive to the concealed advance of our army, and in addition, at present, the **** army is concentrated on the Qamdo line, and we can march from the west and directly enter Tibet. ”
Hearing Zheng Yiqian's explanation, Liu Jun handed the teacup in his hand to Zheng Yiqian, walked to his place in a few steps, and took out a detailed map of Xinjiang from the drawer.
Judging by the map. Aksu is a meeting point, from here to the west, you can enter Dunhuang, and to the south, you can enter Hotan, which is not far from Tibet, and Hotan, which is far from the Tibetan Kalaya Pass, is very quiet.
"Let Zhong Lin come to see me." After a few careful looks, Liu Jun raised his head and said to Zheng Yiqian, who was standing on the side.
Zheng Yiqian knew that Liu Jun's name was Zhong Lin and she was bound to discuss her plan, so she nodded, turned around and walked out. Started walking towards the Intelligence Bureau.
The Intelligence Bureau was less than two hundred meters away from Liu Jun's office, and after a while, Zhong Lin came to the office under the leadership of Zheng Yiqian.
"Head, you're looking for me?" As soon as Zhong Lin came in, he took off the military hat on his head and put it on the coffee table next to him and asked.
Liu Jun, who was facing the map, nodded, stood up from his chair and motioned for Zhong Lin to come to the map and said, "Does your intelligence bureau have an intelligence station in the Aksu area?"
Is this a joke, Zhong Lin looked at Liu Jun in confusion, now the entire imperial court, not to mention the state, is the county, it has its own sub-station, not to mention that this Aksu is a large city in Xinjiang.
"Yes, the southern region of Xinjiang is under the control of the Aksu Station." When Zhong Lin saw Liu Jun asking, he could only answer honestly.
Since there is an intelligence station, then everything is easy to say, smiling slightly, Liu Jun pointed to Aksu and said: "Let your intelligence bureau immediately investigate whether the army can pass through the area from Aksu to Hotan from Aksu to Hotan, and then report back immediately." ”
"Okay." Zhong Lin nodded, and when he saw Liu Jun shift his gaze to the map again, he knew that there was nothing wrong with him, so he turned around and walked out, and began to send urgent orders to Aksu Station.
"What are you doing here?" Zheng Yiqian looked at Zhong Lin's distant figure, and asked Liu Jun who was looking at the map suspiciously.
What to do, Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian, pointed to the map, and said what he thought.
At present, it is not convenient for the Western Advance Corps to enter Tibet, but it can be stationed in Hotan, which is close to Tibet, and once Zhao Erfeng is not able to suppress it, he can also send troops from Hotan and cross the Konya Pass. It entered Tibet, then turned back into Japan and Turkey, and then marched eastward to attack Lhasa.
Of course, doing so can also reduce the military pressure of the **** elements on Zhao Erfeng, so that the **** in Lhasa will have to withdraw some troops from China and return to the west to prevent their own attack.
A good strategy to kill two birds with one stone. Zheng Yiqian, who understood everything, looked at Liu Jun with admiration, she knew that only Liu Jun could think of such a strategy.
The Intelligence Bureau has always been accurate, fast and ruthless.
Zhong Lin gave the order at noon, and at dusk the next day, on Liu Jun's office desk, the intelligence bureau intelligence had already appeared.
As mentioned above, it is clear that although the Hotan River is now in a period of interruption, it can fully supply water to the army.
The biggest difficulty in entering Hotan is to cross the desert, and in the desert, the most lacking thing is sleeping, to go from Aksu to Hotan, the nearest distance is to go south along the Hotan River.
Looking at the map on the table, Liu Jun smiled slightly and looked at Zhong Lin who was standing in front of him: "Send electricity to Wu Peifu." ”
Urumqi, Headquarters of the Western Advance Corps. In the war room of the headquarters, Wu Peifu, who was wearing a general's uniform, was sitting upright on a chair, and next to him, there was a map of the current situation of the two armies in Xinjiang.
After taking Urumqi, Wu Peifu gave the 13th Army to Zhang Yi's corps to enter the Hejing area. Waiting for the order, originally, he was going to march to Aksu with the Thirteenth Army as the main force, as well as the strength of a cavalry brigade and an artillery regiment, but Lushun's order suddenly arrived and postponed the attack, so the Thirteenth Army stationed in Hejing suddenly stopped its advance and withdrew to Hejing.
"I said, we've been here for almost a month, Zhang Yidu and Chang Gung have triumphantly converged in the west, what are we waiting for?" Luo Dacheng, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Wu Peifu, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and asked with a puzzled look on the tea table next to him.
Ask me? Wu Peifu opened his eyes, and by now, he also wanted to know why Lushun suddenly ordered to stop the march.
Throwing the report on the land reform situation in his hand on the table, Wu Peifu stood up from the chair and looked at Luo Dacheng: "You ask me, who do I ask, it is estimated that the marshal hopes that we can do a good job in land reform." ”
Land reform, Luo Dacheng's eyes widened in confusion, this may be the reason why the marshal ordered the attack, after all, now, the Western Advance Corps has occupied nearly two provinces of Shaanxi Province, this land reform, it will take a certain amount of time, but now, the land reform in various places has been basically completed. He really didn't understand what the big boss was waiting for. Even now, he has not given the order to march.
"Don't guess, Da Shuai must have his reasons for doing this." Seeing the corner of Luo Dacheng's puzzled eyes, Wu Peifu smiled, picked up the report on the table again and looked at it seriously.
