Chapter 275: The Olive Branch of the Gui Family
After returning to Yinping Mountain for a few days to inspect it, I just wanted to rest for a few days Zhang Cheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's time again" Military seat, General Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the General Staff, is waiting for you at the headquarters. A staff officer came to Zhang Cheng's side, and then said loudly to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng nodded, he was looking forward to meeting with the main generals of the Gui army, and at the same time seeing if he could win over these people.
Zhang Cheng still admires the Gui army very much, because this army can be said to have never given up on resisting Japan and saving the country.
From the first Songhu Battle in 1932 to the second Songhu Battle before, almost all of the Gui army enthusiastically participated in the exhibition, and in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Gui army also made great achievements in Guangxi.
At the same time, Zhang Cheng, the commander of the two Gui Army, still has some understanding, although Bai Chongxi is not a gentleman, but Li Zongren is a figure worthy of admiration, and Gui Jun and Lao Jiang are also at odds, which gives Zhang Cheng the opportunity to get along with each other.
Now Zhang Cheng no longer thinks about Lao Jiang's feelings, because Lao Jiang's actions again and again have completely broken Zhang Cheng's last trace of patience.
However, Bai Chongxi came, although Zhang Cheng was very happy, but there was also an annoyance, that is, Gu Zhutong was also coming.
Gu Zhutong may not know this person for many people, in fact, the name of this person in later generations is not very loud, but this person is a ruthless and ruthless person, and he is also Lao Jiang's confidant, and the large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in history were actively carried out by this person.
And now that Gu Zhutong is here, he has to make Zhang Cheng vigilant.
And Zhang Cheng now has only 115,000 troops in the New First Army, and now the Wuhan Battlefield Nationalist Army has invested nearly 700,000 troops.
Now is not the time for Zhang Cheng to turn his face against Lao Jiang, especially when he is still making the final attack on the devil at this time, this originally good war situation is likely to decline rapidly because of this matter.
However, even if Zhang Cheng didn't want to destroy the overall situation, he would not let Lao Jiang slaughter him, so when necessary, he had to let Lao Jiang know the pain and let Lao Jiang know how powerful he was.
"Let's go, let's go talk to General Bai."
In Zhang Cheng's headquarters, Bai Chongxi was looking at the battle sand table in Zhang Cheng's headquarters, with the infantry training drills of the new First Army in his hands, as well as the armed configuration of the army, and at the same time, his eyes were also curiously looking at the special forces of the New First Army guarding around the headquarters from time to time.
Bai Chongxi didn't see the appearance of these special forces fighting, but he knew the existence of this force.
The reason why he knew about the search for this force and knew about it for a long time.
And they were able to know the combat effectiveness of the special forces, or because they were the sponsors of the first division, so they were able to understand the combat configuration and types of troops of the new First Army.
At the beginning of the Battle of Xuzhou, the new 1st Division effectively contained a large number of Japanese troops in Chaohu, and won time for the troops to withdraw from the Xuzhou battlefield. After learning about its military structure, even Bai Chongxi, who considered himself a qualified soldier, had to sigh that the New First Army was the only regular army in China.
Although its equipment is not too different from theirs, the structure of the troops is unusually advanced, and in the eyes of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, even the troops of those great powers are not as tightly structured as the troops of the New First Army.
Even a new 1st Army unit at the battalion level will have a reconnaissance platoon, a machine gun platoon, an assault squad, and a mortar company.
It can be said that although the sparrow is small but has all kinds of organs, and at the same time, the training requirements for the troops are also extremely strict, and those training subjects that seem unbearable to others may make the army behind them produce deserters, but in the new army, the morale of the whole army is even higher.
But just as he was carefully observing, there was a commotion outside, and then a light flashed in his eyes, and he knew that the Lord was coming.
"Haha, I've heard the name of General Bai Xiao Zhuge for a long time, and I hate to see each other late." Zhang Cheng came to the door of the headquarters and said with a smile to Bai Chongxi, who was sitting in a chair inside.
A smile appeared on Bai Chongxi's face, now they and the new army can be said to be grasshoppers on a rope, since the battle of Xuzhou of Li Zongren, an unbreakable friendship has been established between the two armies.
Therefore, the two sides can have so much tacit understanding in cooperation.
In Gui Jun's view, Zhang Cheng's military strength was in the southern Anhui region along the Yangtze River, and there was almost no conflict of interest with Gui Jun in Guangxi, so they thought it was very appropriate for them to cooperate with each other.
In addition to Zhang Cheng's huge influence now, these cooperation is more worthy of promotion in Li Zongren's opinion, so Li Zongren attaches great importance to this meeting, although he can't come to the war zone in person, but he sent Bai Chongxi, the second person in the Gui army, known as Xiao Zhuge .
Bai Chongxi is a very shrewd person, although the total strength of the Gui army is now about 300,000 people in the Battle of Wuhan, and now less than half of the soldiers can fight, but now Zhang Cheng is still much worse than Zhang Cheng, not to mention that Zhang Cheng is now a warlord, this Nanchang Battle seems to have not taken refuge in Lao Jiang, so their conversation with each other must be equal.
Although Bai Chongxi is older than Zhang Cheng, he will not rely on the old and sell the old because of this, because these are not worth mentioning in front of a powerful warlord like Zhang Cheng.
"What did General Zhang say, in the past year, General Zhang has fought with the whole army and won consecutive battles with the Japanese invaders, which can be regarded as the most army that has been annihilated by the enemy since the war between China and Japan, and the descendants of China of my generation should be congratulated as generals." Bai Chongxi said flatteringly to Zhang Cheng, but there was also a hint of sincerity in his tone.
In Bai Chongxi's view, Zhang Cheng really gave the Chinese people a hard breath and earned a face.
"Haha, don't be complimenting, let's sit down and talk." Zhang Cheng smiled, he knew that the other party must not have complimented each other like him when he came, and Zhang Cheng did not waste time chatting and farting.
"Good!" Bai Chongxi had already studied Zhang Cheng's personality, and his friendship with Li Fang was still very deep, knowing that Zhang Cheng was a cheerful person, he immediately sat down on the chair politely.
After the two sides sat down, Bai Chongxi said to Zhang Cheng: "General Zhang, this time our General Li sent me over, first, to contact the feelings of the two of us, but to learn from you, and third, to reach an alliance with the new army. ”
