Chapter 115: Whampoa Sheng Xu Ming
Brochure? When Xu Ming heard this, he pondered, "Infantry drills? Well, I've been prepared for a long time, I'll wait for Tang Enbo to come first..."He raised his head and carefully looked at the booklet, his face flushed, which was the "Infantry Drill Code", it was the "Review of the Battle of Anqing" compiled by Xu Ming and Xie Jinyuan and others.
Lao Jiang held up the booklet, and when he saw that no one was asking, he asked again, "Who brought it?" ”
is different from the bridge section of "Blood Battle Taierzhuang", this time no one brought it.
Lao Jiang slammed the pamphlet on the lookout and pointed out Xu Ming's name, "Xu Ming, stand up and say, why was the Battle of Anqing able to win?" ”
Xu Ming's face was red, and he felt that dozens of eyes in the audience were like sharp arrows, but he couldn't help but answer, so he quickly stood up and said: "The battle of Anqing can be won, I think it is mainly these points, the first is that the fortifications of Anqing Jixian Pass are well done, and the depth is strong and hidden; The second is that the defenders are not conservative, and when they have fighters, they will attack decisively and frequently hit the weak points of the Japanese army; the third is to accurately predict the actions of the Japanese army, such as the siege and annihilation of Mawo; Fourth, the logistical support is effective, and there has never been a shortage of medicine, food and ammunition; The fifth is that officers are able to take the lead ... The twelfth is the sniper tactics, which not only greatly killed the morale of the Japanese army, but also made the Japanese army deaf and blind, and our army acted without scruples"
After Xu Ming finished speaking, Lao Jiang asked him to sit down and said to Chen Cheng: "Chen Cheng, tell me why Madang was lost in three days." ”
Chen Cheng immediately stood up and put on a posture of standing upright, "The fall of Madang is first of all the officer's carelessness, followed by the fortification..."
Xu Ming felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, Chen Cheng was talking about the 11 articles he had written at the beginning, but unfortunately, he did not implement them seriously, and Li Yunheng was finally ruined.
Chiang Kai-shek's heart is still on fire, "The 11 failures of Madang are not summarized after the fact, but the problems that have been checked in advance, Xu Ming on the 19th took my order to go to Madang to check out the 11 items that need to be rectified, and also entrusted Chief Bai to supervise, but the result is all as a wind in the ears." Some of our army commanders and division commanders thought they were revolutionary veterans, but they did not listen to the dispatches, and they also lied about the military situation and concealed the news, and in the end they were completely defeated. The battle was a mess, and I had to send senior generals to clean up the mess for them..."
Today's Xu Ming has a big long face, today's meeting, the theme is the review of Madang's lessons and the military rectification of future battles, among which the military rectification is based on Xu Ming's 12 successful Anqing battles and Madang's 11 failed rectification opinions, Lao Jiang said, Xu Ming always felt that dozens of eyes from the audience stayed on him from time to time, some admired, some jealous, and some disagreed.
Xu Ming secretly complained in his heart, the internal relations of the Kuomintang army are very complicated, full of malicious slander and darkness, as the saying goes, the rafters that come out are rotten first. Maybe one day, he will be besieged, and maybe someone will say: "Ah, he Xu Ming is so powerful, what else do you want us to save!" "In the battle of Hengyang in Changde in history, the friendly army broke the siege, but it was very weak.
Lao Jiang didn't seem to realize this, and when the meeting was dismissed, he said, "The meeting is dismissed, Xu Ming stays." ”
Dozens of eyes from the audience shot again, and Xu Ming had no choice but to lower his head and pretend not to know.
Chiang Kai-shek beckoned, signaling Xu Ming to follow him, and the two walked out of the house, it was the height of summer, but for some reason here, the climate was very cool, the breeze blew, and brought out the fragrance of flowers, if it wasn't for the old Jiang here, Xu Ming planned to enjoy it.
Walking to a pavilion, Lao Jiang saw Xu Ming standing respectfully, beckoned, and motioned for him to sit down.
Lao Jiang first said: "The 110 million US dollars auctioned by the Yuming Group has been fully received, how can there be so many American planes in the Battle of Wuhan, and a batch of American howitzers have been ordered, all thanks to you." ”
The money was donated, Xu Ming didn't dare to take credit, he quickly lost his money and said carefully: "All this money is earned from the people's pockets, and now for the people, this is taken from the people and used for the people." ”
Lao Jiang said twice, "But not everyone is not like you, the national disaster is at the head, how many high-ranking officials and rich people only want to compromise with Little Japan for themselves, the soldiers in front are bleeding and sacrificed, and they are spreading rumors and slander behind their backs." After speaking, Chiang Kai-shek handed Xu Ming a report.
Xu Ming took a look and was half frightened to death. This is a report whose name has been erased, and it is a complaint that Xu Ming ran back to his hometown in Changsha without saying goodbye during Madang's inspection and rectification.
Xu Ming had a big quarrel with Li Yunheng at that time, and he was angry, and ran back to Changsha, but before leaving, he sent a telegram to Lao Jiang and Bai Chongxi.
Strictly speaking, this matter is not in accordance with the rules, even if Xu Ming asks for leave, he must go through the formalities first, and then leave, how can anyone run away from the reason for sending a telegram, but looking at Lao Jiang's expression today, it should be fine.
Xu Ming explained: "Chairman, I..."
Chiang Kai-shek shook his hand to signal that he didn't have to explain: "You and I can be trusted, don't worry, you just have to do everything with your heart, and I will support you if something goes wrong." ”
Xu Ming said in his heart, "Your brother is a famous chicken belly in history, don't turn your face and deny people in the end." But there was still a grateful expression on his face, and he said, "The humble position must live up to the cultivation of the chairman!" ”
Lao Jiang nodded and asked, "Qianli, you graduated from West Point in the United States?" ”
Xu Ming quickly denied that West Point's student files were very accurate and detailed, even if he was not famous, now that he was famous, he couldn't blow it up, he said: "Chairman of the Committee, the humble post is not a graduation from West Point, and he has not studied in a military school in the United States. ”
Lao Jiang said that this was just an introduction, and continued: "Xu Ming, I want to make you a Whampoa student, what do you think?" ”
Xu Ming was stunned, can Huangpu Sheng's certificate still be done? In his mind, a picture of the afterlife appeared, and a building in the city was painted with a few large characters: "Please call 133***86 for a diploma."
However, he immediately put on a happy look, "Thank you, Chairman!" ”
Old Jiang glared at him, "Chairman? ”
Xu Ming reacted, "Thank you, principal!" ”
Lao Jiang looks very happy, in fact, men, especially those who hold power, have a psychology, that is, all the talents in the world are in my control, when Tang Taizong saw the fish rushing in, he happily said, "All the talents in the world are in my hand", even Xu Ming himself, he also wants to subdue Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian and others.
The attendant served a cup of tea and a cup of boiled water, and Lao Jiang moistened his throat and said, "What do you think about the battle situation on the front line?" ”
Xu Ming pondered: "You've been wooing me today, so it probably doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing." And he said boldly,
"Chairman, I think the object of the Air Force should be changed."
"Tell me more."
"That's right, commission... Sovereign, that's right, our current air force combat objective is to focus on the opponent's air force and ground combat forces, and I want to change that. Our planes are bought, and their strength is far inferior to that of the Japanese army, so it is not a good strategy to confront the Japanese army head-on, the advantage of the air force is convenient and fast, the disadvantage of the Japanese army lies in transportation and supply, and we should use our own strengths to strike at the shortcomings of the opponent. ”
Lao Jiang did not speak for a while, but put his elbows on the stone table, showing a contemplative appearance, about the Chinese Air Force does not take the Japanese ground forces as the combat target, the Chinese Air Force Commander-in-Chief Zhou Zhirou and General Adviser Chennault reported several times, Chennault even believes that if the Chinese Air Force fights to the death with the Japanese army as before, it is likely that in six months, the strength of the Chinese Air Force will be infinitely close to zero.
Lao Jiang said after a while, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss this matter with others." ”
Xu Ming also knew that this matter was difficult, not that his suggestion was wrong, but that most of the generals on the front line would have opinions, and the Japanese planes bombed indiscriminately, and we had planes, and if we did not move, it would be a blow to the morale and morale of the troops.
Xu Ming then said the second suggestion, "Chairman of the Committee, I suggest that we should strengthen logistics and transportation, and that we should set up a special department and give it considerable powers. For example, is it possible to set up a general logistics department to concentrate all resources and be fully responsible for the supply and transportation of troops, including finance, munitions, health, transportation, and production, and the personnel responsible for them will be selected through public examinations and audits will be strengthened...". What Xu Ming said is basically a copy of the powers and responsibilities of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army in later generations.
According to Xu Ming's opinion, the power of the General Logistics Department is extremely great, and the power of a financial department is indispensable, not to mention the importance of munitions for a country's armament.
Obviously, Lao Jiang couldn't decide on this matter, and he said to Xu Ming, "You have time to write a report in the future and sort out your thoughts well." ”
Chiang Kai-shek originally thought that Xu Ming would put forward specific operational proposals, but he did not expect that what Xu Ming said was a matter of direction, and he reminded, "Xu Ming, what do you think about the Battle of Jiujiang." ”
Xu Ming said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang (Zhang Fakui) is a famous general of the Northern Expedition, and with him in command, I don't think there will be a problem." ”
Lao Jiang snorted, "The famous generals during the Northern Expedition are not fake, but they may not be the famous generals of the Anti-Japanese War." ”
Seeing that Xu Ming was puzzled, he still sent Xu Ming a telegram, which was a suggestion from Zhang Fakui to change the combat area, believing that Jiujiang would be difficult to hold under the enemy's naval and air attacks, and that it was necessary to deploy troops on the line from Jinguanqiao to Huanglaomen, both of which were tens of kilometers south of Jiujiang, and this combat plan was actually to abandon Jiujiang.
Concerning the famous generals of the Northern Expedition, Zhang Fakui is not Li Yunheng, Xu Ming adjusted his wording slightly, "Principal, Jiujiang is indeed not easy to defend, Commander-in-Chief Zhang should want to retreat and fight a decisive battle and defend in depth." ”
Lao Jiang was very dissatisfied with Xu Ming's wording, "Isn't Jiujiang guarded?" If Jiujiang is lost, the two battlefields of the Japanese army, south and north, will be connected. ”
Xu Ming thought for a moment, "Principal, Jiujiang is not necessarily undefinable, first, the fortifications must be done well, and second, the guards must have strong determination. ”
Lao Jiang waited for these words, he just won over but had to be productive, "Well, you're right!" I plan to send you to Jiujiang to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the First Corps, if Zhang Xianghua sticks to it, if he is shaken, you will take over his position! ”
Only then did Xu Ming know that Lao Jiang had done so much foreshadowing before, and it was actually this matter, thinking of Zhang Fakui's fame and toughness, Xu Ming felt a lot of pressure when he boarded.
P: Why did Xu Ming want to be this Whampoa student, I would like to explain that the phenomenon of the Kuomintang army's quiuing and factions is very serious, and it is impossible for the Whampoa student not to develop much, and it is inconceivable that the commander of an ace army is not a Whampoa student
