"How's the mood of the troops?" Zhuang Jihua was not surprised that Du Yuming had arrived now, and the improvement of the situation on the front line made him feel slightly relieved, but the anger and worry in his heart remained.

"Morale was high, and what happened to the convoy and the task force caused a lot of shock among the troops, and the soldiers were holding back their strength to get revenge." The first guards have been in the team for three years, and they have been training every day for three years, but they have not fought, and they have long been suffocated, and those recruits have also been cultivated to scream.

"During the Cultural Revolution, I will make some adjustments to the troops," Du Yuming said to Zhuang Jihua: "I asked Situ Fei to take two brigades to Yibin." ”

Zhuang Jihua understood Du Yuming's thoughts, and he hesitated at the beginning, the two of them went to Chengdu through the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, and then through Ya'an and Xichang, which was indeed too slow, but he was also worried.

"Guangting, you are so bold, aren't you afraid that Liu Xiang will secretly join forces with Long Yun?" Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly and said, to be honest, he was not sure whether Liu Xiang would join forces with Long Yun, and the information from Feng Yi was not clear, and the 20,000 people going to Chengdu was not only a precaution, but also a deterrent.

"Liu Xiang doesn't dare to do anything, Teacher Yan is in Yongchuan with three brigades, and Rongchang is exercising." Du Yuming smiled faintly.

Zhuang Jihua thought for a while and said, "That's fine, let Situ Fei speed up, pass through the thunder slope, and directly insert it into Huidong." ”

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he saw that Du Yuming and Yang Yongtai were different, he looked at them a little strangely, Du Yuming hesitated and said: "Cultural Revolution, we have a new idea, Director Yang, let's talk about it." ”

Yang Yongtai nodded: "What we mean is that Situ Fei doesn't have to come to Huili, but directly attacks Yunnan, Longyun has evacuated northern Yunnan, Situ Fei directly attacked from Yibin to Zhaotong, and after occupying Zhaotong, he attacked Huize and directly inserted it into Kunming." ”

Zhuang Jihua gasped, he stared at the two of them with wide eyes, and said slowly after a long time: "Do you mean to expand the war and take Yunnan directly?" ”

"Yes," Yang Yongtai nodded heavily.

"But have you ever thought about the sequelae of taking Yunnan?" Zhuang Jihua asked rhetorically: "Long Yun's strength comes from his Yi people, if they retreat to the mountains, it will take a few years to quell the civil strife in Yunnan. ”

"I don't see it that way," Yang Yongtai raised his hand to signal Zhuang Jihua not to be too excited: "Cultural Revolution, you decided to build two roads, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is not talked about for the time being, but the Yunnan-Burma Highway is a highway from Yunnan to Myanmar, what if Long Yun doesn't agree?" What if he openly agreed and secretly sabotaged? Yunnan also has a large number of minerals, only the copper ore is far more than Sichuan, the important thing is to control Yunnan, which is equivalent to completely controlling the traffic between the southwest and the outside world, which can facilitate the long-term planning of our team's anti-Japanese war. ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at Yang Yongtai silently, he didn't think about driving away Long Yun to take Yunnan, it is easy to go south to Yunnan, but it is difficult to govern Yunnan, Yunnan is a multi-ethnic region, and the perennial war has led to the people of Yunnan being xenophobic like the people of Sichuan.

But Yang Yongtai's words made him start to think about the Yunnan issue from another angle, and controlling Yunnan can not only get Yunnan's manpower and minerals, but also control the export of the southwest, radiating Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, and from now on, the future battle in Southeast Asia will be arranged, and the benefits will be infinite.

"Cultural Revolution, it's not difficult to control Yunnan," Yang Yongtai saw Zhuang Jihua's expression, knowing that he was still hesitating, so he continued to persuade: "Situ Fei is leading 15,000 people, and Guangting is 8,000 people, we are not weaker than Long Yun in terms of troops, and combat effectiveness, I think you should be clear." However, the key to controlling Yunnan is not in the army, but in the people, and the key to controlling Yunnan lies in both military and political hands, and when we eliminate the main force of the Yunnan army and enter the city of Kunming, we will ask the chairman of the committee to come forward and transfer Long Yun to work in the central government, and then, during the Cultural Revolution, we must arrest one person, that is, Lu Han. ”

Yang Yongtai paused, looked at Zhuang Jihua's face, he smiled slyly: "Lu Han and Long Yun are cousins, they have both mutual support and contradictions, Long Yun falls, Lu Han will definitely not be martyred, and it is even likely that he will be secretly happy, let him come forward to incorporate Long Yun's old department, and there is another person, Hu Ying, catching these two people is equivalent to controlling the rest of the Dian army, they will not rebel or fall into the grass, so as to solve the biggest hidden worry after the occupation of Yunnan." ”

But when Yang Yongtai said Lu Han, Zhuang Jihua's eyes lit up, he understood that Yang Yongtai had grasped the core of his hesitation, he quickly calculated it in his heart, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Jiang is still old and spicy, Mr. Changqing is really extraordinary, his eyes are old and spicy, he knows the subtlety, Guangting, this kung fu is enough for us to learn for ten years." ”

"Cultural Revolution," Yang Yongtai was happy in his heart, he knew that Zhuang Jihua agreed with his opinion: "Don't laugh at the old decay, there are a lot of these things, the chairman of the committee has a lot of them, if you want to see it, I'm afraid you will do it a long time ago." ”

This is not Yang Yongtai's modesty, Chiang Kai-shek never gave up the penetration of the southwest, Yunnan Huangpu classmates were sent back several times, the temperament of the high-level generals in Yunnan, Guichuan and the relationship between them are very clear, Yang Yongtai is by Chiang Kai-shek's side, and he naturally knows these materials well.

"Okay, just do as Mr. said," Zhuang Jihua made up his mind, and he walked to the map: "But to make some changes, Situ Fei can't go from Yibin to Zhaotong." Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at Du Yuming and Yang Yongtai and said: "To occupy Yunnan, what we want is to annihilate the main force of the Yunnan army, and then force the city of Kunming to force Longyun to submit." The route from Yibin to Zhaotong will not achieve this goal, and I believe that once Situ Fei enters Yunnan, Longyun will make an armistice and make peace, and will fully accept our conditions. Second, he thinks that the Liangguang Incident has contained the power of the central authorities, and that the central authorities need him to play a role in quelling the Liangguang Incident, and will make concessions to him. So what we have to do is not to startle the snake, let him continue to think like this, and then give him a fatal blow. ”

"Order Situ Fei not to enter Yunnan, not to go to Xichang, go directly to Zhaojue, and then go to Huidong." After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he looked at Song Yunfei and said: "Yunfei, Xiao Bailong has already led his troops to the south of Huili to cut off the transportation line of Sun Du, but his troops are too small, you go now, you blow up the pontoon bridge on Kyaukping Ferry for me." ”

"Yes!" Song Yun flew a military salute and turned to leave, Zhuang Jihua hurriedly stopped him, and was silent for a while before saying, "Be careful, don't take risks." ”

Song Yunfei smiled on his dark face, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, those Yunnan nephews can't hurt me yet." ”

After Song Yunfei left, Zhuang Jihua discussed some details with Du Yuming and Yang Yongtai, and finally he asked Yang Yongtai: "At this time, should we report to the principal?" ”

Yang Yongtai thought for a while and said: "No, don't report it first, and then report the results after you hit it." ”

Zhuang Jihua thought about it and felt inappropriate, Chiang Kai-shek was a person who valued the latter more in terms of results and loyalty, Yang Yongtai had been by Chiang Kai-shek's side for a long time, of course, he knew what Chiang Kai-shek was like, he saw Zhuang Jihua hesitate, he knew what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this Zhuang Jihua really figured out Chiang Kai-shek's surname.

"I don't know how to report it, but I want to report it secretly, and report it to the chairman through Dai Li."

Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but give Yang Yongtai a thumbs up, this was a brilliant idea. Obviously, following the regular procedures, it is strange that those old men in Nanjing do not make trouble, the Liangguang incident has not subsided, the Yunnan incident has come again, the two-front battle, the military family is taboo, and the military and political officials in Nanjing will definitely put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek, and at the same time, they will not rule out the possibility of leaking secrets to Yunnan.

But it's different to take Dai Li's line, this is an informal channel, let Chiang Kai-shek prepare, fight, go without saying, break it, and it is they who will be guilty and not Chiang Kai-shek; In this way, the purpose of reporting to Chiang Kai-shek was achieved, and the purpose of secrecy was achieved.

"Okay, send a telegram to Li Zaitian, the message includes two messages: first, transfer Yunnan classmates and students out to form a task force to prepare to enter Yunnan; Second, let him inform Tang Zong and ask Tang Zong to report to Dai Li, we are determined to take Yunnan and expel Long Yun, and ask the principal to cooperate if necessary. ”

The purpose of the war has changed completely, from teaching Long Yun a lesson to expelling Long Yun and taking Yunnan.

After Dai Li received Tang Zong's telegram, he didn't even think about Chiang Kai-shek's report, joke, when did Zhuang Jihua need to report to him.

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned, Zhuang Jihua wanted to take Yunnan by himself, Yunnan mountains and roads are far away, poor mountains and bad waters, the people are fierce, the combat effectiveness of the Yunnan army is not weak, Sun Du once led the Yunnan army from Tashi to Guiyang, and walked 400 miles in three days; An Enpu chased the Red Army to fight, and the central generals did not have such courage.

"What do you think?" Chiang Kai-shek asked Dai Li.

"The students thought that the purpose of the Cultural Revolution was to tell the principal that if the war was won, the principal would take over Yunnan; defeated, he took the punishment himself; As for the rest, students dare not judge. Dai Li said respectfully that he was self-aware, and although he wanted to make achievements in the military, he could not judge such a major event for the time being.

Chiang Kai-shek's temples were soft, the two Guangxi were restless, and the situation in the northwest was also unstable. The communist bandits marched east to Shanxi, and Zhang Yang and the two actually sat idly by, and it seems that the final battle against the communist bandits still requires me to go out in person. At this time, Zhuang Cultural Revolution went to take Yunnan, if the central force was dragged to the southwest, then the [***] remnants would be in the northwest, and it would be a bunch of troubles at that time. No, you can't let him be so reckless.

"It's better to let him stop, and wait for the central government to pacify Liangguang." After a long time, Chiang Kai-shek said slowly, he didn't ask Lin Wei or anyone else, and made this judgment alone.
