Chapter 1175 The cold wave suddenly arrived

At the end of the 29 th Army's exercise, patriotic people from all walks of life in Pingjin and Tianjin, who were deeply inspired, flocked to Song Zheyuan's headquarters and the battalions of various divisions, and the officers and men of the 29 th Army received pennants bearing the respect and hope of tens of millions of people, and looked at the truckloads of grain, quilts, cotton shoes, and other materials.

On the afternoon of 14 July, An Yi, who had had a three-hour secret conversation with Yan Xishan, flew to Luoyang, transferred to Gongxian by car, and accompanied Chiang Kai-shek to inspect the Gongxian Arsenal.

On the way back to Luoyang by train, An Yi gave Chiang Kai-shek a detailed report on the North China exercises, the Suiyuan War of Resistance, and the secret meeting with Yan Xishan.

The night was deep and the cold was pressing, and the special train was moving westward at high speed in the cold wind of the angry roar, and the overhead lights in the command carriage flickered on and off.

Chiang Kai-shek sat in the wide soft seat, did not move, his lips were closed, and quietly looked at An Yi, who was sitting opposite to report, and only intermittently asked questions when he heard what he did not understand, and most of the time he listened attentively, and there was no opinion on his stern face.

"Ci Xiu, Mo San, what do you think?"

After An Yi's report, Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment and looked at Chen Cheng and Jiang Dingwen who were sitting next to An Yi.

Chen Cheng looked at Jiang Dingwen politely, and Jiang Dingwen quickly expressed his opinion: "Obviously, General Baichuan's reason for the shortage of aircraft fuel supply and the sudden deterioration of the weather is actually that he is unwilling to let Xiao Yi's air force be stationed at Taiyuan and Datong airports. ”

"That's right, the subordinates agree with the opinion of the third brother Mo, General Baichuan said that it will take at least a month to prepare, which is completely a pretext, he will not know that once Xiao Yi's air force is stationed, all kinds of materials will continue to arrive, even if the air capacity is limited, the Zhengzhou military station can transport a large amount of oil and supplies within five days. His subordinates secretly thought that General Baichuan was likely to have a grudge against Fu Yisheng's department, which was gradually breaking away from the Jin Sui army, and was even more unwilling to openly offend the Japanese who were eyeing the Japanese in such a sensitive period, so that the Japanese thought that he was playing duplicitous means and supporting Fu Yisheng's department to fight against the Japanese puppet army behind his back, so he came up with many excuses. Chen Cheng added.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "That's right, that's why I have repeatedly sent people to Taiyuan to do work." In case you don't know, before getting on the train, I received a secret telegram from General Baichuan, who told me that he would give 800,000 yuan in cash to General Fu Yisheng's headquarters and another 150,000 rounds of ammunition as a token of his heart. The meaning is very clear, that is, he would rather spend money than send troops, and he does not want An Yi to borrow his two airports to fight the puppet Mongolian army commanded by the Japanese.

"This Yan Lao Xi'er, both ends of the two sides are not offended, no matter whether the two sides win or lose, they can't complain about him, they will really do business!"

An Yi looked at each other for a moment with Chen Cheng and Jiang Dingwen, then turned to Chiang Kai-shek and whispered: "Principal, Shanxi is not a way to do it in the long run, although General Fu Yisheng and General Zhizhong of the Cavalry Division have the advantage of troops, they have suffered too much in terms of weapons and equipment, if the central government cannot give strong support to Suiyuan in the War of Resistance this time, not to mention the guilt of General Fu Yisheng and 40,000 soldiers, the negative impact on politics will be a big headache." Not to mention that ** will attack in a big way, even General Han Qing is afraid that he will strongly criticize the central government, and he has to make a decision quickly! ”

"That's what worries me the most. Han Qing has been getting more and more confused recently, and after being fooled by Yang Hucheng, his army is now in defiance of the yang and the yin, standing still on the edge of the battlefield of suppressing the communists, stagnating, and becoming very problematic politically and ideologically. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was a little excited when he talked about Zhang Xueliang: "Han Qing carried me behind my back and quietly flew to Taiyuan twice to have a secret talk with General Baichuan, mobilize General Baichuan to stop suppressing the Communist Party, and fight against Japan with him, hum!" I think he burned his head, and he was embarrassed to shout anti-Japanese with just his two blows? For more than a year, the 80,000 Northeast Army under his command, with absolutely superior equipment and troops, attacked the millet plus rifle with only more than 20,000 people, but was repeatedly beaten by the ** to the point of losing troops and losing face, not to mention dealing with the wolf-like Japanese army? If he had a little assertiveness, a little responsibility and courage, how could he have been displaced and retreated, and came to this step under the fence today? At this critical moment, it is naïve to let the ** who is about to be destroyed, talk about joint resistance against Japan! ! ”

An Yi and the three were silent, and they could hear that Chiang Kai-shek was angry, and he reprimanded Zhang Xueliang so mercilessly, and it was the first time that the three of them heard it.

Chiang Kai-shek realized that he was a little emotional, took a sip of water from his cup, put down Zhang Xueliang's question, and asked An Yi about his next step:

"Since Yan Baichuan is unwilling to lend you the airport, what are you going to do?"

An Yi said his decision after repeated consideration: "I can only temporarily give up the plan of the Air Force to help the war, since last night, the weather in North China has changed suddenly, according to the forecast of the Military Meteorological Bureau, the strongest wave of cold wave in the north in winter will soon come, and it is very likely that the temperature will drop sharply again in the next three days, and there is a great chance of a blizzard." Under such circumstances, our planes could not fly, and the Japanese planes were also useless, which was still more advantageous to us. The second is that the student originally planned to fly to Suiyuan tomorrow, but without the support of General Baichuan, it would not be of much use to go, but because of the appearance of the student, it would arouse the vigilance and suspicion of the Japanese army and the puppet Mongolian army. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. Chiang Kai-shek ordered with concern.

"Yes! The students speculated in vain that General Yisheng's guiding ideology was four words: soldiers are noble and fast. An Yi replied.

Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng immediately understood the meaning, and Jiang Dingwen reacted after thinking for a moment, praising Fu Zuoyi's resoluteness and decisiveness, and lamenting that Fu Zuoyi not only defended well, but also attacked well.

Chiang Kai-shek discussed a few words with Chen Cheng, turned to An Yi and nodded slightly: "It's okay if you don't go to Suiyuan, North China can't do without you at this time, the situation has just improved, and you must not be careless." As for Fu Yisheng's side, I will give him strong support, ask for money for money, ask people to give people, as long as you keep Suiyuan, it will be victory. In addition, I will order Tang Enbo's troops to slowly force to Chabei, contain the 12th Division of the Japanese army advancing westward, and provide him with the greatest help in attacking the front line of Bailing Temple. This battle is fought, and it can calm Suiyuan for at least a few months. It is the season of ice and snow, and it is not easy for the Japanese and the puppet Manchu army to mobilize on a large scale, especially the traction of heavy weapons, which is full of difficulties, and there are not many chances of a major war, but North China has become the top priority. ”

"Students obey!" An Yi agreed.

Back at the Luoyang camp, An Yi pulled Chen Cheng and Jiang Dingwen back, returned to his temporary dormitory, and drank two drinks together.

Chen Cheng and Jiang Dingwen entered the warm spring-like room from the cold wind, and then saw the copper stove hot pot that Lin Yaodong and the guards had already put on the table, steaming hot and fragrant, without saying a word, they sat down, rubbed their numb hands, lifted the chopsticks one after another, picked up the mutton slices in the big plate and put them in the hot soup, and scolded An Yi ** while eating, and did not forget to enjoy it anywhere.

After eating and drinking a lot, An Yi wiped his mouth and complained to Chen Cheng again: "You know that Yang Hucheng is very close to **, and you know that the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 17th Army are not moving and do not obey orders, why don't you remind the principal of the strangeness and danger?" ”

Chen Cheng put down his chopsticks: "You didn't get scolded enough in the car just now, and you want me to be scolded too?" I've spoken three times, but the principal just won't listen, what can I do? said too much about the principal scolding, saying that Yan Daogang and Deng Wenyi stay in Xi'an every day, don't they know more about things in Xi'an than you and me? And the principal trusts Brother Han Qing as always, although he scolds Brother Han Qing for being confused, he will never believe that Brother Han Qing has done something sorry for him, if I am long-winded, won't I become a villain who sow discord? To tell the truth, I always feel that something will happen, but I can't assert that the 17th Route Army and the Northeast Army want to rebel because of this! I advise you not to say it again, it's useless to say it, and if you don't get it right, it will make the principal misunderstand your kindness. ”

Jiang Dingwen said with a smile: "Xiao Yi, I think you are too sensitive, I know, you guy is scheming, and he never suffers losses when doing business and fighting, but when it comes to our internal affairs, we can't deal with it with the idea of war." Brother Han Qing has never done anything sorry for the principal since the Northeast Yizhi was loyal to the party-state, although he has limited ability and lack of experience, and he has fought several defeats in the face of **, but his feelings for the principal have always been affectionate, and no matter how confused he is, he will not do what you are worried about. Brother, I still say the same thing, listen to the principal, sincere unity and step in step, no need to think too much. ”

An Yi smiled: "Big brother, when you were in the Lushan Training Regiment, you and Brother Han Qing lived in the same house, and you have been worshipping for more than ten days?" ”

Jiang Dingwen shook his head and smiled: "I don't have that blessing, but you can't trust the eldest brother, can't you believe in Brother Ziwen?" The Zhang and Song families have a deep friendship, and Brother Ziwen and Brother Han Qing are also brothers and sisters who are married to Jin Lan, so many layers of relationships are in it, what else do you have to worry about?

"Brother advises you not to mention your premonitions and worries anymore, I can't really get the same as what Brother Ci just said, being said that you are sowing discord and ill-intentioned...... What are you doing with your eyes bulging at me? I'm for your good, brother, and you don't know how I'm doing, brother. There is also Brother Ci, who didn't say anything about you, they all regard you as their siblings, and if you can say that, it's all for your good, if you change it to someone else, who will be boring for yourself? Stop thinking and have a drink! When you leave tomorrow, we don't know when we will be able to get together again for a drink. ”

An Yi sighed, didn't say anything, raised his glass and drank, Chen Cheng was overwhelmed with wine, and took a sip lightly, and took a sip as a companion.

After drinking a few glasses, Jiang Dingwen suddenly asked An Yi why all the industries in Shanghai had been shot? Chen Cheng also asked An Yi why he resold all the properties on Lushan? Could it be that the current situation will really go up and down as quickly as An Yi feared?

An Yi can only say that if you believe me, you will throw it away, and if you don't believe it, you will keep it, anyway, it is none of my business to lose money and make money.

Jiang Dingwen and Chen Cheng immediately laughed and scolded, but they had already made up their minds to sell all the excess industries in their hands before the Spring Festival.

Before he knew it, it was midnight, An Yi sent Chen Cheng and Jiang Dingwen, who had been tired for a day, out of the gate, and suddenly felt a biting cold wind blowing, and the tall poplars in the yard rustled in the howling north wind, and the last batch of dead leaves on the remaining branches flew and fell.

Looking up, the dark sky was not bright at all, and there were faint bursts of muffled thunder in the northwest sky, An Yi sighed and said that the cold wave was coming, so he turned around and entered, closed the door casually, returned to the charcoal stove, grabbed the wine bottle, and just poured half a glass of wine when he heard the "crackling" sound of the tile roof.

Shen Fengdao closed the breathable window, returned to An Yi's side, sat down and whispered that it was hail, grabbed the wine bottle in An Yi's hand and poured two glasses, raised the glass and smiled at An Yi: "Don't worry, I'll have a drink with you." ”

An Yi raised his glass and touched it gently: "It's okay, I feel better when I'm drunk, it's not so heavy, I don't need to make a heart-wrenching choice...... Alas! It's all left to fate......"
