He Yingqin was very puzzled, he didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to ask such a question. When he was in Guangzhou, he found that whenever Chiang Kai-shek encountered something difficult to solve, he always sent Zhuang Jihua to come forward, and Zhuang Jihua could unexpectedly complete tasks every time, such as overthrowing Xu Chongzhi, solving Xiong Kewu's reorganization of the Sichuan army, revitalizing the first division, etc.; Therefore, he concluded that this was also the case this time, and Chiang Kai-shek was not at ease with the battle at the Great Wall, and he was not at ease with the negotiations he presided over. When he met Chiang Kai-shek before taking office as the acting chairman of the Beiping Military Branch, Chiang Kai-shek clearly told him that the Great Wall defense line must be defended and resisted; On the other hand, we should not lose too much sovereignty in the process of negotiations, and it is better to achieve an armistice with the Great Wall as the line. In addition, He Yingqin also guessed Chiang Kai-shek's intentions, and sent him as acting chairman in the hope of using his personal relationship with the local party to facilitate the success of the negotiations; For this reason, he even hinted that he could acquiesce in the occupation of Rehe, and Jidong could not garrison troops, but these two articles must not fall on paper.

Didn't Chiang Kai-shek's ideas talk to Zhuang Jihua? At present, the war is the tightest, once these inside facts are found out in public, will these people still fight? He Yingqin was embarrassed.

Seeing He Yingqin's appearance, Huang Shaohong smiled secretly in his heart, but he also thought that this occasion was not the place to talk about this kind of thing.

"Respectfully, let the Cultural Revolution take a breath first, and then we will talk about adjusting the deployment." Huang Shaohong diverted the topic, which can be regarded as why Yingqin has relieved the siege.

"Yes, this is the top priority," Song Zheyuan said eagerly: "The troops of the lowly post fell through the fierce battles of Xifengkou and Luowenyu, the consumption is very large, and it is urgent to rest and recuperate, and Xifengkou is also involved in the overall situation, so please ask the 14th Army or the 87th Division to take over the defense." ”

"Brother Mingxuan, the situation in Lengkou is also extremely critical, Lengkou can't hold it, and Xifengkou can't hold it either." Although Shang Zhen and Yan Xishan turned their faces, after all, they were in the same vein as the Jin army, and Xu Yongchang couldn't help but speak for him.

"Cichen, Shang Zhen still has a whole division in his hands, and Pang Bingxun's 40th Army is still in Fengrun, isn't it also under his command? It is completely possible to draw troops from him, hasn't Xiao Zhichu's 26th Army already decided to reinforce Lengkou? Song Zheyuan asked coldly.

"Xiao Zhichu's troops only have six regiments," Xu Yongchang patiently explained: "Pang Bingxun also has only one division of troops, and they still have the task of defending the Luanhe River, so they can't transfer troops at all." ”

Xu Yongchang and Pang Bingxun have a good relationship, the Central Plains War, Feng Yuxiang failed, Pang Bingxun led his troops to retreat to Qinzhou, Shanxi, there was no food and ammunition, or Xu Yongchang helped him, so that he could tide over the difficulties, with this incense relationship, Xu Yongchang also regarded Pang Bingxun as his own person.

"The situation of the Seventeenth Army is not good, Guan Linzheng's twenty-fifth division is now only half of the people left, Huang Jie's second division has been fighting with Yue himself for seven or eight days, and the consumption is not small, Xu Yuanquan personally led the eighty-third division to Miyun, there are almost no troops south of Miyun, and the staff department judged that the main direction of the army's next attack is Nantianmen, because the distance from here to Beiping is the closest." Xiong Bin said.

"Isn't Shangguan Yunxiang's third column about to arrive soon, let him reinforce Nantianmen." Song Zheyuan said immediately.

The more Zhuang Jihua listened, the more he wondered what was going on, and Du Yuming whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid that the troops will be wiped out." Now Zhuang Jihua understood, and couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart, no matter what kind of war the soldiers of this era fight, they have to calculate, count the front, count the back, that is, not the country and the people.

He suddenly thought of He Yingqin's negotiation mission, did these people also know it? The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible, what kind of people are these people, the head snake, He Yingqin is a strong dragon, can he hold it down? Zhuang Jihua was not hopeful.

He saw that Xu Zuyi had been silent behind the crowd, but the corners of his eyes showed a little dissatisfaction. As if sensing that someone was paying attention to him, he turned his head to look in the room, just met Zhuang Jihua's eyes, he nodded gently here, Zhuang Jihua glanced at him, and he immediately moved slowly with understanding.

"Director Xu, reinforcements are needed everywhere, will the central government increase troops?" Zhuang Jihua asked quietly.

"No, the chairman has already explained, and there will be no more troops." Xu Zuyi said indifferently, and only after a while did he say: "Actually, not all of them are short of troops. ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at him calmly, Xu Zuyi thought for a while and explained: "The 29th Army has three divisions, a reading brigade plus troops directly under the army, and the whole army is close to 60,000 people. There was Li Jintian's brigade on the front line of Luowenyu, and at most 30,000 people were used, and at least three brigades were not moved. However, it is true that the equipment of this army is poor. In the direction of Nantianmen, although the casualties of the 25th Division were large, there was no major battle after Huang Jie of the 2nd Division took over, so the casualties were not large, and the 83rd Division defended the pond west of Nantianmen and closed to Shangzhongzi and Wujiaying, and the remnants of the 25th Division and the troops directly under the army defended it, and the troops were a little weak; There was no shortage of troops in the Lengkou direction, and the three divisions of Shang Zhen's headquarters and a whole division were not moved in the rear. We judged that the enemy's main attack direction in the next step was either Lengkou or Nantianmen, so we planned to increase troops in Nantianmen and Lengkou. ”

Xu Zuyi sighed softly, his words made Zhuang Jihua confirm his thoughts, Zhuang Jihua looked at the mental change map on the map and asked: "The numbers of the two divisions and two mixed brigades of the army have appeared on the front line, so who will guard the transportation line from Pingquan to Chengde to Gubeikou?" ”

"Mainly the puppet armies such as Zhang Haipeng and Li Shouxin, and a small number of Kwantung Army, the specific number is not very clear." Xu Zuyi said.

"What are the enemy numbers on the opposite side of the 61st Army in the Chicheng area?" I still know about Fu Zuoyi Zhuang Jihua, I knew this person in my previous life, and his image is quite positive.

"It seems to be Yu Zhishan's puppet army and the Xiaoshan Brigade of the Yue Army," Xu Zuyi looked at Zhuang Jihua and shook his head after speaking, Zhuang Jihua looked at him puzzled, Xu Zuyi sighed and said, "Do you want to fight back from here?" No, Li Fuying is one of Yan Xishan's henchmen, Yan Xishan doesn't let him attack, he won't attack. ”

"Isn't Chadong under the command of Fu Zuoyi?" Zhuang Jihua asked strangely: "Li Fuying is not Fu Zuoyi's subordinate?" ”

"Fu Zuoyi's basic army is the 35th Army, which is currently assembled in Zhangjiakou, in addition to a group of volunteers who have retreated from Rehe in Chadong, and there are still troops left behind in the 29th Army in Zhangjiakou." Speaking of this, Xu Zuyi sighed heavily.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Jihua was a little strange: "What happened to Fu Zuoyi in Zhangjiakou?" ”

"Zhangjiakou is going to have an accident, but it's not Fu Zuoyi, it's Feng Yuxiang." Xu Zuyi frowned and said: "After Feng Yuxiang failed in the Central Plains War, he lived in seclusion in Yudaihe, Fenyang, Shanxi, and now that the situation in the north is turbulent, he has another idea and went to Zhangjiakou to form an anti-Japanese alliance. His old troops, Ji Hongchang, Fang Zhenwu, the remaining troops of the 29th Army, Deng Wen, Guo Fenglai, Wu Songlin and others who are now coming from the northeast, Huang Shouzhong and Yu Lizhi who retreated from Rehe, and King De of Mongolia, gathered seventy or eighty thousand people at once. ”

"Seventy or eighty thousand!" Zhuang Jihua was very surprised: "This is a big force. ”

"It's not much use, except for the twenty-nine left-behind troops, the others are a rabble." Xu Zuyi said with some contempt.

"But there are always seventy or eighty thousand people." Zhuang Jihua said unceremoniously: "More importantly, these all have combat experience, and as long as they are slightly rectified, they will be a fairly effective force." And, when used properly, they can go a long way. ”

"Oh!" Xu Zuyi was a little surprised, he looked at Zhuang Jihua in confusion, and he didn't know why Zhuang Jihua suddenly became a little excited.

"Look," Zhuang Jihua pointed to the long transportation line of the Yue army: "These volunteers are familiar with the terrain of Rehe, the logistics line of the Yue army is thousands of miles long, the escort force is thin, and the terrain of Rehe Mountain is complex, so they will ambush any place they want." After fighting in this way a few times, the army will have to divide part of its forces to guard their transportation lines, so that the frontal pressure will inevitably be reduced. ”

Xu Zuyi looked at the transportation line thoughtfully, thought for a while, felt some truth, and had some thoughts in his heart, but he didn't think it through, he looked up and wanted to talk to Zhuang Jihua again, but saw that Zhuang Jihua was writing on the desk, and after a while, Zhuang Jihua pushed the written things in front of him: "Please help me send it to the chairman." ”

Xu Zuyi took it and looked at it, which read: "The students arrived in Beiping today, the situation of the Great Wall is quite incomprehensible, if you want to fight this battle well and seek peace in hope, the students suggest the following:

1. Part of the funds allocated from the southwest development funds will be used as war funds, and the students will be responsible for distributing the cameras.

2. In order to motivate all armies to work hard, it is proposed that commendations for combat merits be introduced, and that the three divisions with the greatest combat merits after the war will receive the treatment of the Central Army, and priority will be given to the salaries and salaries of supplementary equipment.

3. The unit with the greatest military achievements was transferred to the Beiping garrison after the war.

Fourth, it is recommended to immediately send people to absorb the former Northeast and Rehe Anti-Volunteer Troops who retreated to Chadong, and accept the leadership of the Beiping Army Branch.

Fifth, it is recommended to immediately send someone to contact Sun Dianying's department, who retreated to Guyuan, and order him to attack Rehe guerrilla.

6. Contact Yan Xishan and get him to promise not to interfere in the combat operations of Fu Zuoyi's department, and the funds required during this period can be allocated from the southwest development funds.

7. It is proposed to reward the military exploits made some time ago, and the bonus should be allocated from the southwest development fund and distributed by the students. ”

Xu Zuyi was very surprised after seeing it, he felt that this Zhuang Jihua was too unpredictable, and his tone on the telegram was full of confidence, and it could even be said that he was a little tough. He dared to say bluntly that he was responsible for distributing it, as if others couldn't distribute it.

"Send it, the chairman will understand." Zhuang Jihua seemed to see his doubt.

Xu Zuyi picked up the telegram and went to the telecommunications office with suspicion and doubt.
