readx;?“ Give him a new lease of life? Jiang Baili was speechless by Zhang Xinghan's words, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Xinghan took a deep breath and said: "In the matter of the Southern Expedition, force is not the only solution, as long as the Nationalist Government agrees to reorganize, unite warlords from all over the country to form a new Nationalist Government, and then elect the national leader fairly, and inherit Mr. Sun's last wish in the true sense, everything is easy to say."

Therefore, war is only a means to promote a peaceful settlement, and it can also be said that whether war can be avoided is entirely in the hands of Chairman Chiang alone.

As for Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu had to drive them out of the north of the Yellow River, otherwise there would be no way to talk about promoting peace. ”

[Pig_Pig_Island] novel "Forming a new coalition government? Jiang Baili was a little surprised.

"Yes, launch a referendum with the participation of 40,000 people across the country, and let the people elect their favorite national leader!" Zhang Xinghan has some yearning for the way.

Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan with deep eyes, and said meaningfully: "The general seat is so calculating, with your current personal reputation, if a referendum is held, who else will be your opponent?" Isn't this the leader of the nation none other than you? ”

"This is true in a short period of time, but leaving the full power of the election to the people can well urge the rulers to do things for the country and the nation.

If he does not do well enough, he will inevitably not be supported by the majority of the people, and his resignation is inevitable. Zhang Xinghan said.

Jiang Baili silently poured a glass of wine, and after drinking it all, he put down the wine glass, stood up and turned to leave.

Zhao Zhenfan, Guo Zhong and others wanted to stop him, but Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him: "No need, the chief of staff is tired and needs to go back to rest, tomorrow will be fine." ”

………………

Early the next morning, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan, and other generals of the Northeast Army issued an announcement to the compatriots across the country.

The contents of the announcement pointed out that the organs and institutions of the national government at all levels are bloated and unbearable, and officials are seriously corrupt and take bribes.

The above-mentioned generals. Headed by Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Army, Navy, and Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army, he strongly demanded that the Nanjing Nationalist Government be reorganized, and that the chairman of the Military Commission, president of the Executive Yuan, and other important posts at all levels be elected by a vote of the whole people.

The announcement has already sent a national shock, and some peace-loving people without party affiliation are very interested in Zhang Xinghan's proposal, and they have many dissatisfaction with the current national government's administrative efficiency and other policies.

As for the vast majority of the people in the country, because of Zhang Xinghan's extremely high prestige and reputation in their hearts, they basically support Zhang Xinghan's proposal announcement.

Beiping, Tianjin and other large and medium-sized cities under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Frontier Army even broke out large-scale demonstrations in response to Commander-in-Chief Zhang's call.

Of course, there are also many people who oppose Zhang Xinghan, that is, the bureaucratic comprador forces dominated by the chaebols of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, whose interests are tied to the same chariot as Chairman Chiang. Chairman Chiang's personal prestige and reputation were greatly weakened.

If a referendum on the election of the whole people is held at this time, Chairman Chiang will definitely lose.

Nanjing Tangshan, one of Chairman Chiang's official residences in Nanjing.

Jiang Guangtou, who was on a cane, was scolding in the study: "Niang Xipi, this Zhang Xinghan is going to rebel, and he is still reforming, what is the reform?" Isn't it my life? ”

Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and other senior generals of the Central Army were all present, and they were all a little excited.

In any case, Zhang Xinghan is going to fight against the Central Division. The struggle for core power is over, and the high-level members of the Nationalist Government present are grasshoppers on the same rope as the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebol and Chairman Chiang, so it is naturally impossible to agree to Zhang Xinghan's proposal.

The devil knows once the popular vote is held. Can they still guarantee their current status?

At the same time that Chairman Chiang was still scolding Zhang Xinghan, Zhang Xinghan left Jiang Baili to sit in Jilin and personally rushed to Beiping by plane, preparing to command Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo's First Group Army to attack Shanxi and Shandong.

Began his first steps with a promotion and planning.

Beiping City. Command of the 1st Army.

Zhang Xinghan shook hands with Huang Xiansheng, Liu Jianguo and others cordially, exchanged pleasantries, and then cut to the point: "Alarm bell." For the founding of the country, have you all made preparations before the war? Before coming, Zhang Xinghan had already secretly gathered supplies and troops by secret telegram, ready to go on the expedition at any time.

Huang Xiansheng said to Liu Jianguo with a smile: "Jianguo, it's better for you to report to the general seat on our preparations." ”

"Okay." Liu Jianguo stood up and said: "General, after this period of expansion, the total strength of our group army has expanded from the original more than 130,000 to 160,000, excluding the necessary remaining troops in Beiping, Tianjin, Shanhaiguan, Baoding, Cangzhou and other places, this time we can call on the strength to participate in the southern expedition is about three infantry divisions and one tank armored division, a total of more than 100,000 people.

In terms of ammunition reserves and grain, according to preliminary statistics, at least 100,000 troops can be consumed for two months, which means that it is enough for us to carry out a major battle. ”

"100,000 troops, enough ammunition, food and grass for two months." Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction and said, "These two straw bales are enough to deal with Yan Laoxi and Han Fuqu." ”

"And I have ordered the chief of staff to mobilize ammunition, food, and grass outside the customs, which can support our consumption needs for at least a month."

"General seat, Yan Laoxi has expanded his men and horses in the past few years, and the strength of his troops is conservatively estimated to have exceeded 300,000, and Han Fuqu has less than 100,000 people in his hands, if they unite the two places, their strength should not be underestimated." Huang Xiansheng reminded in a good voice.

"In addition, there are more than 100,000 central troops in Hebei, and we only have 100,000, is it too few?" Liu Jianguo said.

Zhang Xinghan laughed secretly in his heart, when the Japanese swept through North China with an army of less than 100,000, the old devil Itagaki Seishiro defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops of Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang with less than half a division.

Today, its Northeast Frontier Army, whether it is individual weapons, artillery configuration, tank combat vehicle ratio and air force number, far exceeds the Japanese army at the same time in history.

It has won the hearts of the people again, and sweeping North China is not hand-to-hand?

However, Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo, as the chief and deputy commanders of the First Group Army, it is not good for the two of them to have too many concerns, and they must be allowed to dispel all worries and have full trust in their troops.

"Alarm bell, you have been thinking too much about the founding of the country, and you are too high to look at the Jin Sui Army and the Shandong Army, not to mention the combat experience of the two armies, as far as the equipment is concerned, we also occupy an absolute advantage, there are planes in the sky, there are unstoppable tank armor clusters on the ground, as well as Katyusha rocket artillery groups and 150mm heavy artillery groups.

Even with individual weapons, we also have an overwhelming advantage, and the combat effectiveness of our troops is enough to be ten compared with the Jin Sui Army and the Shandong Army.

I am confident that one of our regiments will be able to defeat one division of the Jin Sui Army, or even more, and a fully equipped A division will be able to defeat at least two enemy armies. Because the larger the combat unit, the more complete the supporting troops, and the stronger the combat effectiveness will be. Zhang Xinghan said impassionedly.

Zhang Xinghan personally cheered up, Huang Xiansheng and the two of them had all their worries gone, and they who had recovered their confidence stepped forward to reassure Zhang Xinghan: "The general seat is right, we are too timid, please give an order now, this time we must let the Jin Sui Army and the Shandong Army taste the power of our Northeast Army!" ”

"Very well, you guys come here." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand at the two and came to the map.

Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo walked to the other side of the map together, and Zhang Xinghan pointed to the map and looked up to the two: "First of all, we need to clarify the ultimate strategic purpose of this operation.

Our strategic purpose in the early stage is to capture all areas north of the Yellow River, to force the Nanjing government to reorganize the Nationalist Government in a unified manner, and to hold a national vote to achieve our ultimate strategic goal.

Of course, if we still can't reach the final goal after we have completed the preliminary goal, the war will have to continue, and that is the medium-term goal, crossing the Yellow River and capturing the area north of the Yangtze River and south of the Yellow River, that is, the Central Plains, this stage can be called the advance into the Central Plains.

As with the previous goal, our ultimate goal was to force the Nationalist Government to agree to reorganize and renovate and form a new coalition government.

Next, let's discuss the specific battle plan of the early target in light of the actual situation.

First of all, with our current position, there are two options for attacking southward, the first is to directly attack Shanxi, and there are two routes respectively, one is to take Datong to attack Yanmen Pass, but to attack Jingcheng Pass from Baoding to the south, and attack Taiyuan through Yangquan.

The second option is to go south from Cangzhou to Dezhou, and after capturing Binzhou and Liaocheng, quickly move west to attack Puyang, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo and other places.

From the strategic point of view, the Jin Sui army was encircled, and then, with the cooperation of the Third Army, the north and south attacked Shanxi. ”

After the analysis, Zhang Xinghan looked at the two of them: "Let's talk about your opinions." ”

"General, in terms of the current strength of the Jin Sui Army and the Shandong Army, Han Fuqu's Shandong Army is relatively weak.

Moreover, there are endless high mountains and steep mountains in the land of Sanjin as natural barriers, which are not conducive to the combat power of our mechanized troops and air force.

Therefore, I think it is easier to choose the second battle plan, first take the Shandong Army, and after cutting off the weaker Shandong Army, it will be easier to concentrate forces to attack Shanxi. Liu Jianguo analyzed and suggested.

Before Zhang Xinghan could express his position, Huang Xiansheng continued: "There is some truth in the proposal for the founding of the country, but there are also loopholes, have you thought about it, if my army attacks Shandong, then will it directly trigger the central army in Henan and Hebei to participate in the war, and the Jin Sui army may also threaten to go out of Shijiazhuang to threaten Pingjin." ”

"There is really this possibility, once our army attacks Shanxi or Shandong, it is really possible for the Jin Sui Army, the Shandong Army and the Central Army to unite." Liu Jianguo thought about it carefully and said, "That's going to be difficult." (To be continued......)
