Chapter 743 His Heart Can Be Punished (3)

A group of generals stared at the sand table and began to think nervously, Chen Jiji, who put down the baton, exchanged opinions with Wang Jun beside him in a low voice, Hu Zongnan and Li Yutang looked at it for a while, their faces were full of doubt, but they didn't dare to express their opinions at will.

"Who is in charge of this plan?"

An Yi's loud voice suddenly sounded, and everyone heard the dissatisfaction contained in it.

Chen Jiji hesitated slightly, but still answered truthfully: "The report to the commander-in-chief was formulated with the assistance of the advisory group of the General Operations Department. ”

"Advisors? Which group exactly? An Yi asked loudly again.

Chen Jiji didn't answer this time, and looked at Wei Lihuang quite embarrassedly, Wei Lihuang frowned slightly, secretly wondering what An Yi meant?

Everyone found that An Yi, who was usually very talkative, suddenly became so stern, and couldn't help but be startled, seeing the fierce majesty emanating from An Yi's body, they immediately thought of An Yi's iron-blooded combat methods and strict military management methods, and couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and they all put away their contempt and stood up straight unconsciously.

Colonel Hughes raised his head and replied loudly in a slightly Shanghainese official dialect: "Is there anything wrong with this plan?" This is the painstaking work of the three-member advisory group for which I am responsible, which was submitted to Mr. Chairman half a month ago, and this plan took me and my colleagues three months of painstaking efforts and the full assistance of more than 10 generals of the General Headquarters. General An may wish to say openly and honestly what he thinks about this battle plan, because General Jiuwen is the best commander among the young Chinese generals, and I will feel extremely honored to receive the general's correction. ”

An Yi saw that Hughes's handsome and tough face did not mean the slightest bit of honor, so he lowered his face and ordered the staff officer to hand over the baton, grabbed the baton and pointed to the line of Ye Ji at the junction of Henan and Anhui:

According to the latest information just conveyed, this place is the hiding place of the 25th Army of Cai Shenxi's Fourth Army of the Communist Army Xu Xiangqian, but the number of troops of Cai Shenxi's division is not clear, but according to the original strength of the department minus the 5,000 people who have been lost in battle, it is roughly believed that the communist army of this department is about 10,000 people.

"One thing I have to remind you is that this area is the old base of the Soviets, since ancient times, the people have been fierce and unruly, ** the army has been operating for many years, it can be described as a soldier of the whole people, according to the internal report issued by the Second Department of the General Staff Headquarters in May, there are 31 local armed forces of the Communist Army in the area from Mall to Gushi, with a total number of about 26,000 people, ** these local armed forces are called Red Guards, in our inherent impression, these armed forces are usually a rabble carrying spears and swords, Therefore, this part of the power is usually ignored directly. But here I would like to state that under certain special circumstances, these armed forces can often play a role in influencing the situation of the war, such as the transmission of intelligence, such as all-round and large-scale monitoring, such as familiarity with the terrain and hidden paths, etc., which are incomparable to our regular army, and for several years our army has encountered ubiquitous surveillance and sabotage as soon as it enters the Soviet base area, and as a result, its traces have been exposed, and there are countless examples of rapid assembly and rapid attacks by the regular army of the Communist Party or the Red Guards. A year ago, General Zhang Huizan was surrounded and annihilated by the suddenly assembled main force of the communist army, and finally his head was cut off, and I hope to attract everyone's attention......"

Hughes interrupted An Yi's words: "General An, what do you want to explain after you say so much?" Are you trying to tell us that the people there are red bandits who can carry guns? Even if they could carry guns, would there be so many guns for them to carry? This is too alarmist! ”

An Yi glared at Hughes, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Colonel, I want to tell you what the people's war is, and how powerful the people's war is. The Chinese art of war attaches great importance to the three major elements of time, place, and people, and in the words of Western military science, it is the political environment, topography, climate and other natural and human environments of war. Let's not talk about the time of day, let's talk about the location and the people, these two elements are not in our hands now, it can be said that the harm caused by the spear and the big sword, the bird and the loose cannon, is not much inferior to the rifle and machine gun...... Quite a few people laughed and didn't believe me, right? Okay, let's take a good look at the plan. ”

Everyone's appetite was immediately aroused by An Yi, the three German instructors looked at An Yi with blazing eyes, looking very expectant, and Bai Langte also showed a very interested smile, only Hughes still looked disdainful, and didn't look at An Yi at all.

From the beginning of the Lushan military conference, Hughes had a lot of opinions on An Yi's arrogance, after boarding the ship together, An Yi did not take the initiative to exchange views with him, the head of the advisory group, and after arriving in Nanjing, he left them and went home by himself, on the train to Bengbu, Hughes really couldn't help but want to take the initiative to find An Yi to exchange feelings, but An Yi stayed in the last carriage, playing a game of jumping up and down at the door of the Mercedes-Benz train with a group of soldiers, and did not give Hughes the respect he deserved after coming to Bengbu, Now that he is attacking the battle plan led by Hughes and developed after months of hard work, how can Hughes not be angry? Even the best cultivation can't stand it, not to mention that Hughes has five years of command and combat experience in leading troops to suppress resistance in the Indian colonies, and has been a military observer in China for three years, and then hired by Chiang Kai-shek and He Yingqin as a military adviser for two years with high salaries, but now he is offended by the young An Yi, how can he not make the arrogant Hughes feel resistance and resentment?

An Yi didn't even look at Hughes, lifted his baton and pointed to the south of Ye Jizhi: "According to the original plan, the two divisions of General Wang Jun's Third Army will divide their troops into two routes, and march north from the east and west of Sutai Mountain, everyone please look at the sand table, the distance marked is twenty-seven kilometers, and the several dangerous cols on the two lines are also very clear, but there is no swamp on the north side of Meicun on the west side of Sutai Mountain, as far as I know, the swamp with a radius of about ten kilometers has only one north-south passage, and two carriages can be walked side by side, However, there are two wooden bridges more than 30 meters long and built on the hard ground of the swamp protrusion, there are no railings on both sides, and the width can only walk one carriage, so how to pass the artillery battalion of the 7th Division participating in the attack has become a big problem, if the sappers are used to build bridges and pave the road, it will take seven hours at the fastest speed to assist the artillery battalion to pass through this area, which is still based on the very good foundation of the 7th Division engineer battalion.

"According to the plan, after the offensive is launched, the eastern and western armies must arrive south of Wumiaoji within six hours at the same time, otherwise they will not be able to achieve the expected goal of rapid, concealment, and mutual coordination, and there will be a danger that the communist army will be discovered in advance, causing its main force to move quickly. May I ask you, is it possible to march for six hours? If the Seventh Division had been delayed for three hours, and the Twelfth Division had been driven from the east to the predetermined location as planned, would it have been met head-on by the assembled forces of the communist army? If the main force of the communist army cannot be defeated, it can calmly choose to retreat, and only two regiments will be sent to attack harassingly for half an hour, will the 12th Division dare to continue to advance? ”

The hall was silent, and the generals began to talk about it, asking each other who was on the task of topographic survey, and why they didn't even know about the obvious terrain of the swamp. Wang Jun and Li Wenbin, deputy commander of the Seventh Division, glanced at each other, and were terrified, and the three German advisers shook their heads again and again, shouting how could such a low-level mistake occur?

An Yi didn't give everyone a chance to breathe, and continued to make trouble: "Look at the north road again, according to this battle plan, General Chen Jiji commanded the first division and the third division to attack separately and together, secretly moved to the south of Quanhepu, and then immediately advanced at full speed, the first division through the East Stone Bridge, Gujing straight to the north of Wumiao, a journey of 21 kilometers, took the lead in launching a strong attack on the communist army to attract the attention of the other side, so as to form an effective support for the third army on the south road.

"There is no big problem with this route of advance, several valleys along the river have been fully considered, the problem is the 3rd Division, which is tasked with the task of fighting around - you see, the 3rd Division took this 18-kilometer shortcut, which seems to have a good effect of surprise, but everyone found that no, this shortcut has a funnel-shaped valley at 13 kilometers, and the 3rd Division needs to enter the valley and climb over the narrowest point with a height of 170 meters, and the plan is that the 3rd Division's special service battalion will set off in advance, Climb from the east to Baiheling, which has a steep mountain and only one sheep intestine trail, control this dangerous pass in one fell swoop, and ensure the smooth passage of the Third Division, so that after the First Division launches a fierce attack, it can surprise the opponent's flank, thereby destroying the communist defense line in one fell swoop, and finally forming a joint attack with the two divisions of the Third Army rushing from the south, and completely annihilating the 25th Communist Army. ”

An Yi paused deliberately, praised a few words very intoxicated, and then poured a large bucket of cold water: "The idea is very good, the whole plan is exactly complementary, very ingenious, but unfortunately it doesn't work at all, and it gives me a feeling of wishful thinking." You may have to ask why? Because I am very jealous of my Huangpu senior brother Xu Xiangqian, his keen and delicate and thoughtful calculation, floating agility and resolute and decisive style, more than a year has been vividly embodied, even in the communist army internal movement in the past nine months, Xu Xiangqian senior brother and our army more than a dozen large-scale battles have also achieved impressive results, the last huge defeat was Kuang Shixun under the wrong guiding ideology of Zhang Guotao, the Communist Party Central Committee has removed Kuang Shixun from his post, Replaced by Cai Shenxi, who dared to fight but was very cunning, and ordered Xu Xiangqian to reorganize the 25th Army, with the experience of the 25th Army in circles in this area countless times over the years, as well as the familiarity of many local officers and soldiers and local Red Guards with the terrain, can they not always be wary of us passing through this small road? To put it mildly, I don't know how many of their foot hairs have fallen on this road, and only a few tens of kilograms of explosives can block the narrow pass nearly four and a half meters wide and sixteen meters long, so that the third division can stand in the funnel-shaped canyon below and cannot move an inch. ”

After An Yi finished speaking, he directly threw the baton on the sand table, and the head of the stick happened to knock down the gypsum on the top of the miniature mountain on both sides of the pass, and the broken small pieces of gypsum and powder sand fell, very much like a stone rolling down from the mountain, and it took a long time for Li Yutang, Hu Zongnan and their commander Chen Jiji to break free from the broken place.

The discussion buzzed, and all the generals and colonels turned their heads and expressed their worries, the translators behind the three German advisers were too tired, and the eyes of the advisers were back and forth between the German battle plan and the sand table in their hands, Wei Lihuang's face was very ugly, and he shook his head again and again and sighed in a low voice, at this time, An Yi had already taken the tea handed by Lin Yaodong behind him, and drank it very comfortably.

"Nonsense, it's all subjective assumptions! I am very suspicious of General Ahn's intentions, one-sidedly exaggerating the enemy's abilities and degrading his own abilities to nothing. Here I would like to ask, if General Ahn is also like our opponents, ignorant of our battle plan, can General An still make such a wonderful deduction? Does General Ahn think about things this way every time? Hughes asked aloud angrily, and he was so emotional that he couldn't pronounce accurately.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at An Yi and Hughes worriedly. An Yi ignored Hughes at all, and continued to drink tea as if he hadn't heard, so angry that Hughes's face turned red and he almost ran away.

"General An Yi, I remind you of the pig (attention), your army has advanced weapons, has strict training, has German rifles and sister (Czech) light machine guns, Ma Ji (Makqin) heavy machine guns, and the opponent only has a pitiful Chen Jiu (old) rifle, a dirt bag (earth cannon) dug from a tree trunk, and the rest is full of many gaps in the spear and broadsword, you fight such a poorly equipped enemy, just as the army of the British Empire easily attacked those invulnerable Boxers with high height, It's unbelievable that you've said such discouraged words, and it has made me lose respect for you, and I don't understand how you got those victories! Hughes was so enraged that he couldn't say anything.

Hu Zongnan saw a cold light flashing in An Yi's eyes, and immediately knew that something bad was going to happen, An Yi really lived up to Hu Zongnan's expectations, and ridiculed him in front of dozens of Chinese and foreign generals:

"No wonder Mr. Hughes came up with such a lame and ridiculously flawed plan, and it is no wonder that the original thinking was still a few decades ago, and it is no wonder that such a thing happened. Mr. Hughes, why don't you simply suggest that Chairman Chiang and General Ho Ying-chin have our troops all dressed in Scottish plaid skirts, marching in orderly formations beating and blowing bagpipes, and marching against the old guns and earthen cannons of our opponents? ”

"You...... You are so uneducated, you have seriously insulted a soldier of the British Empire, I ...... I'm going to duel you ......"

Hughes, who was emotionally out of control, was just about to explode when he was hugged by his assistant Blante and several German advisers, who tightly covered Hughes's holster and burst out of his mouth a long string of hurried English.

An Yi pushed away Wei Lihuang, who stepped forward to dissuade him, and laughed at Hughes, who was still yelling and struggling on the opposite side of the sand table and was tightly hugged by four Caucasian men:

"Just you? Whether it's shooting or hand-to-hand combat, you're not my opponent, and it just so happens that I've been practicing 'kicking you to death' for a few years, and I haven't repaired anyone yet, so it'......s just right for you to come up."

"Enough! That's enough! Xiao Yi, shut up, have you thought of the bad consequences? Shut up! ”

Chen Jiji's face changed in fright, and he pushed An Yi out with all his might, and the seven or eight Whampoa generals of the First Army also came up to help when they saw that the situation was not good, and they got An Yi out of the door with all their hands and feet.

Lin Yaodong, who was standing by the wall, saw this situation, worried that An Yi would suffer, and was about to rush over to help but was stopped by Shen Fengdao, and whispered two words in Lin Yaodong's ear, Lin Yaodong looked at Shen Fengdao with his mouth open in disbelief, Shen Fengdao raised his hand and gave Lin Yaodong a light slap on his head, and followed out very calmly.

An extremely serious and very important military meeting ended with such a scene, which made Wei Lihuang shake his head frequently and cry and laugh, while Wang Jun said very righteously who let the British slander us, and it was okay not to mention the Boxers, as soon as he mentioned the Boxers, Lao Tzu remembered the Opium War and the endless humiliation brought by the British to China, and he couldn't wait to go up and slap him twice.

Wei Lihuang was so frightened that he glanced around, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered to Wang Jun, saying that as the commander of the First Army and the deputy marshal of the Right Route Army, this attitude is not afraid of bad influence? Wang Jun said angrily that he was afraid of a fart, if it weren't for Xiao Yi's analysis, I am afraid that the self-righteous and paper-talking Englishman would have been killed.

The serious consequences feared by Wei Lihuang and Chen Jiji and others soon came, and Hughes immediately called Wei Cai'er, head of the advisory group, Chiang Kai-shek, supreme commander of the squadron, and He Yingqin, deputy commander-in-chief of the squadron, and angrily resigned from the post of deputy head of the advisory group and head of the British advisory group, and made it clear that he would return to Nanjing immediately, and then return to Britain.

Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback when he received the telegram, and He Yingqin, Wei Cai'er and others also rushed to Chiang Kai-shek's office, asking what happened in Bengbu to make Hughes make such an impulsive decision? Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered Ge Jingen to call Wang Jun, Wei Lihuang, Chen Jiji, and others of the Right Route Army, ordering them to report the details immediately.

Several generals of the Right Route Army did not dare to slack off, and they evaded the important and lightly telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek about the differences between An Yi and Hughes at the military meeting, but they did not expect that the chief of the political training department of the Central Party Headquarters stationed at the headquarters of the Right Route Army had already telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek word for word about the entire process and the dialogue between An Yi and Hughes.

After reading the secret telegram of more than 2,000 words, Chiang Kai-shek was furious and quickly made a decision: dismiss An Yi from all his posts, order him to leave the Right Route Army, return to Nanjing, report to the Political Department, make a thorough examination, and wait for further handling by the Central Military Commission.

At six o'clock in the evening, at Bengbu Railway Station, An Yi politely bid farewell to many generals who saw them off, and instructed Dongzi again, so he led his staff team to embark on the southbound train and return to Nanjing overnight.

The train was far away, and Wei Lihuang on the platform still did not leave, and whispered to Chen Jiji, who asked him how he felt: "It's a pity!" If General An stayed, with his strategy and vision, the Right Army would soon be able to open up the situation, at least avoid many unnecessary sacrifices...... If I had expected it to be true, General An would not have wanted to be the acting commander-in-chief at all, but it was a surprise to me that he chose to leave in this way. ”

Chen Jiji was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder he laughs so easily, this guy is really ruthless......"

In the half-new and old Dodge jeep outside Bengbu Railway Station, Ding Delong said a lot of analysis and thoughts in the ear of Hu Zongnan, who was depressed, Hu Zongnan immediately ordered to stop, stared at Ding Delong's eyes, and asked seriously: "Are you sure?" ”

"**Don't leave ten, Senior Brother An is really bad enough, and he actually provoked the principal to lose his temper and drive him away with this hand...... He doesn't care about what inspections or suspensions, and it's not uncommon for him to be promoted! Senior brother, junior brother also has an opinion, that is, Senior Brother An is unwilling to fight hard with Xu Xiangqian, otherwise, **, Lu Deming and others have attacked his Nanchang area and Xiangxi base several times, and he has endured it like no one, and he has fought all over the Anhui Army, the direct line, the Gui family, the Northwest Army and Little Japan, how can he worry that he can't beat Xu Xiangqian? He doesn't want to in the same room! He actually used such means to achieve the purpose of escaping, it was too insidious and cunning...... But knowing this, no one can say anything about him, after all, it's not that he doesn't want to fight, but the principal is angry and doesn't give him a chance to perform, so he can return to Nanjing with peace of mind, while holding the beauty and drinking wine, while happily watching us fight desperately in the barren mountains and mountains where birds don't, damn it! Ding Delong hung his head and shook his head repeatedly.

Hu Zongnan finally figured it out, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and scolded bitterly: "The peace of the dog's day made Lao Tzu frightened for him, and when he sent him to the car, he was still thinking about how to help him plead with the principal, this grandson ...... I'm so! His heart can be punished, his heart can be punished! ”

"Shhh

Ding Delong stopped Hu Zongnan, who was embarrassed and angry: "Senior brother scolded him fiercely, and asked him to hurry up and send the two modified Jeeps and seventeen-seat transport planes that he promised to give to his senior brother, so that Senior Brother doesn't have to ask the Aviation Department to help his grandsons go anywhere, and our brothers can follow suit, and it's comfortable to think about it!" ”

Hu Zongnan glared at Ding Delong angrily: "Do you think he is reluctant?" I just asked him if he wanted 1 million, he would not refuse, the off-road jeep with radio was already at the Nanjing military station waiting for me to pick it up, and the plane would be delivered next month, and he also asked me if I dared to fly openly? I think about it, I have to ask the principal for permission in private before I dare to use it, although it is said that it does not cost a penny of public funds, but the impact is too great, and now we are in the hinterland of Jianghuai, not as urgently needed when we were stationed in the northwest, I am having a headache for this! But An Yi of the dog day will never have a headache, he wishes I was like him, this guy is so fucking sinister, more and more insidious......."
