Section 2: Acquisition of Chadong (9)

Tong Linge looked at the Xuanxia father, who was called worthy of two hundred cannons by Feng Yuxiang, who was forced by Zhuang Jihua to use his strength, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he was a little dissatisfied with Feng Yuxiang's choice to cooperate with the Communist Party, at this moment, it was only six years since the Communist Party of China was sent out of the country, and now he chose the Communist Party, and it is difficult to fully establish the trust between the two sides.

However, although Tong Linge did not fully agree with Feng Yuxiang's opinion, as Feng Yuxiang's single-handed general, he could not stand opposite his old superiors, so when Feng Yuxiang insisted on forming an anti-Japanese alliance, he joined in without hesitation. At this moment, Xuanxia's father was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but stand up to help.

"General Zhuang, you overestimate yourself too much, how can the chairman of the committee change because of you." Tong Linge said coldly.

"General Tong doesn't believe me, let's be honest, this trip to Chadong is one result of my change of mind about the chairman, and the development of the southwest is another, so I am fifty percent sure of convincing the principal." Zhuang Jihua said very seriously.

"Why does the national political axe want to rebel again?" Xuanxia's father said coldly, he has regained his calm now, and he remembered that the main purpose of coming today was not to argue with Zhuang Jihua about anything.

"Well, General Tong, Sword Soul," Zhuang Jihua also changed his tone and said sincerely: "I can understand that you are hostile to the national political axe, but I can clearly tell you that the incorporation of the Volunteer Army is imperative, and it must be completed within a few days." As he spoke, he sighed again: "Sword Soul, I don't approve of what you are doing, but I don't want to interfere either, you can do whatever you like, but I hope you can help me complete the task." ”

"Your mission? What task? Tong Linge asked coldly.

Zhuang Jihua looked at them and looked at the staff guards around them without speaking, and Tong Linge said when he saw this: "You all go out." ”

After the staff guards all went out, Zhuang Jihua lowered his voice and said: "The army branch has decided to carry out a counteroffensive from Chadong, General Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army and 61st Army, and Sun Dianying's 41st Army will all participate in the battle, the purpose is to strike at the Yue army in Gubeikou, for this purpose the army branch will assemble Xu Yuanquan's 17th Army and Song Xilian's 87th Division in front of Gubeikou, the battle will first start from Chadong, with Sun Dianying's 41st Army counterattacking the paddock, and then the 7th Army Corps, their actions will inevitably mobilize the Yue Army to increase troops to the western front to block, This provided fighters for the 17th Army and the 87th Division on the front. The task of the Volunteers was to penetrate deep into the Rehe and Liaodong regions to attack the long transportation lines of the Yue Army. Now you understand my mission in Zhangjiakou. ”

After Tong Linge listened, he walked to the map, looked at the situation map marked with red and blue arrows on it, and analyzed what Zhuang Jihua said while reading. After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he also walked over and pointed to the paddock, Chaoyang and the transportation line on the map: "Compared with the Yue Army, whether it is the Central Army or the 29th Army, we can't compare with them at all, but the Yue Army also has weaknesses, and their weaknesses are behind them, so it was the volunteers who started to act first." After they fought behind enemy lines, from north to south, Sun Dianying's troops and Fu Zuoyi's troops took action in turn, and finally landed at Gubeikou. Zhuang Jihua said this and asked in an inquiring tone: "General Tong, do you think this plan is feasible?" ”

Although Tong Linge was left in Zhangjiakou to watch his family, he still paid attention to the changes in the war on the Great Wall. Chadong is close to Rehe, and it is likely to be the next target of the Yue army, so he knows more about Chadong's Yue army than Zhuang Jihua, he nodded after thinking about it: "It is feasible from the enemy situation alone, but the volunteers go deep behind the enemy, and the risk is very great," Speaking of this, he hesitated and said: "The most important thing is the cooperation of various departments, and whether Sun Dianying will attack first, these are all worrying." ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded and admitted: "Our situation is that everyone is selfish, but the most important thing is that they are worried about the damage to their own strength, so the chairman ordered that all the troops participating in the war this time, no matter how big the casualties, will retain the number of troops, and after the war, the commanders of each unit will rebuild by themselves, and the central government will provide funds." As for the rest, they can all be raised, and if they can be solved, they will be solved now, and if they can't be solved, I will be responsible for reporting to the chairman. ”

After listening to their conversation, Xuanxia's father can now be sure that Zhuang Jihua is not lying, he did come to Zhangjiakou to recruit the volunteers, but the adoption is to resist the said.

"How can the volunteers be guaranteed to go deep behind enemy lines?" Tong Linge asked again.

"There is no guarantee," Zhuang Jihua said helplessly, "They can only rely on themselves to take it from the hands of the army." ”

"Take it yourself?" Tong Linge asked unexpectedly, he instinctively thought, this kind of thing is something that someone is willing to do.

"Yes," Zhuang Jihua glanced at Xuanxia's father casually: "I was inspired by the development of the Red Army, General Tong has always been in the north, and has not paid attention to the Red Army in the south, they are surrounded by [***], where do the weapons and ammunition come from?" They could only rely on capture, so they couldn't afford to fight positional warfare like the Great Wall, but they relied on movement warfare and ambush warfare to defeat [***] several times, and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition, which supplemented their consumption. ”

"Speaking of which, Sword Soul, you should learn their tactics well, you look at them, they are weak compared to [***], so when [***] attacks, they retreat, abandon cities and villages, and wait until [***] exposes their weaknesses, and then they strike at these weaknesses fiercely, so as to win." Zhuang Jihua turned to Xuanxia's father and said seriously, and the latter looked at him vigilantly, trying to figure out what he meant: "The tactics of the Red Army are actually the best tactics to attack the strong with the weak, but let's change the angle, replace [***] with the army, and replace the Red Army with [***], do you say that [***] should also adopt the tactics of the Red Army?" ”

Xuanxia's father almost tilted his nose, this answer is not answering, he glared at Zhuang Jihua fiercely, but Zhuang Jihua turned to Tong Linge casually and said: "General Tong, the purpose of my coming here has been told to you, I hope to get your help, as soon as possible to incorporate the volunteers, at least you have to give me dozens of horses, in addition to their address, and quickly, General Tong, I don't have much time, the front line of the Great Wall is currently relatively calm, the army is adjusting, and they are about to launch a new round of attack." ”

Tong Linge hesitated for half a moment before saying: "Feng Zhanhai's current office is in Dongyaozi outside Zhangjiakou City, Deng Wen's department is stationed in Xiaowazi Village in Ci'er Mountain, in addition, Fuchun and Ma Champion are in Zhangbei, Li Zhongyi is in Ma Liang, and Huang Shouzhong is in Xiwanzi. I can give you thirty horses and a cart. ”

"You don't have to use the cart, my boxes are here with you first, okay?" Zhuang Jihua knew what Tong Linge was doing with his carriage, but he didn't want to run around with so much money.

Tong Linge nodded, indicating that he had no objection. When Xuanxia's father heard Tong Linge's words, he was a little anxious, but he couldn't stop it clearly, these troops were all scheduled to be pulled into the Anti-Japanese Alliance, if Zhuang Jihua was allowed to take him away like this, wouldn't the troops be an empty shelf. He had no choice but to glance at Tong Linge, but Tong Linge didn't seem to see it, which made him very disappointed.

Zhuang Jihua smiled and thanked him, turned to Xuanxia's father and said, "Sword Soul, I'll go to do something first, and we'll talk again when I'm free." ”

After finishing speaking, he greeted Wu Ziniu and left, Tong Linge looked at Zhuang Jihua's back and was silent, Xuanxia's father said with some complaints: "If he wants to pull these troops away, the strength of the alliance will be much smaller." ”

"If I don't tell him, he won't be able to find out about it himself? It's just a matter of spending a few more days," Tong Linge said lukewarmly: "Besides, it's all about the book, and what do you and me do." ”

"Of course we should support it, but I doubt his true purpose, and we should take measures quickly." Xuanxia's father hurriedly said that he knew that many of the generals of the Northwest Army in Chahar still had a problem with the Communist Party in their hearts, and the Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee was also worried about this, and in the letters from the Provincial Party Committee, they had been reminded many times to be vigilant against the repetition of history, and the only troops they could really trust at present were the cadets of the Fenyang Military Academy.

"The problem is that I can't find his flaws, I also analyzed, from a military point of view, his analysis is valid, the Chadong counterattack can be established, and the long logistics line of the army is indeed their weakness." Despite this, Tong Linge still frowned and looked confused, what was strange in his heart was not what Zhuang Jihua said, but why did he come here to say this to him?

Xuanxia's father looked at the map, and he was also puzzled in his heart, could it be that Zhuang Jihua really came only to investigate the eastern counterattack? He was not sure in his heart, and he had to report to Secretary Zhang immediately.

"Sir, is it necessary to find them?" After seeing the brothers of the 29th Army walking away, Wu Ziniu led the horse and asked Zhuang Jihua. Just now, he had been standing at the door guard, vaguely heard their conversation, and was very disapproving, yes, they didn't know the location of the volunteers, and they didn't have transportation, but these Fu Zuoyi had them, why didn't they ask Fu Zuoyi for it in the first place? With his understanding of Zhuang Jihua, he must not have forgotten.

Zhuang Jihua didn't answer, he just calmly looked at the hills in the distance, which were still covered with a layer of white snow, and in Yucheng, I am afraid that it is already a spring breeze Buddha face, and the peach blossoms are beginning to bloom.

"China is so big." Zhuang Jihua said with some emotion. Wu Ziniu looked at him inexplicably, I don't know why he suddenly sighed like this, but since Zhuang Jihua didn't say it, he didn't ask, anyway, he was always right.

"Sir, where are we going?" After Wu Ziniu got on the horse, he happily asked Zhuang Jihua.

"Dongyaozi, Feng Zhanhai will go." Zhuang Jihua whipped his horse and galloped towards the east kiln. Wu Ziniu flicked the reins and followed closely, followed by a long line of cavalry, and the dull sound of horses' hooves was remembered in the bare mountains.
