Liu Wenhui was also anxious after receiving the telegram, and after gathering his staff to discuss, he accused Chiang Kai-shek of Long Yun's attempt to expand the incident, turn the internal dispute between the Yi people into a war between the two provinces, and asked the central government to stop and severely punish Long Yun's behavior.

After Chiang Kai-shek received the telegram, he did not send a telegram to Long Yun, and Long Yun's telegram also arrived, in which he complained that the killing of the Yi people in northern Yunnan at the beginning of his own study was a great crime, and he must be severely punished for future generations.

At first, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to hand over the self-study to Long Yun to quell the matter in exchange for Long Yun's dispatch of troops to Guangxi, but Lin Wei reminded him that the reason why Long Yun used troops against Xikang with great fanfare was probably to avoid the order to send troops to Guangxi, and whether to severely punish the self-study should listen to Zhuang Jihua's opinion, after all, he is still familiar with Panzhihua.

Chiang Kai-shek's telegram caught up in Ya'an, Zhuang Jihua immediately did not hesitate to call back not in favor of punishing self-study, he thought that Liu Wenhui wanted to intervene in northern Yunnan through the Yi people, Long Yun did not want to meddle in the Daliangshan area through the Yi people, most of Long Yun's descendants are Yi people, and there are many connections with the Yi people in northern Yunnan, if the Yi people in Daliangshan are too hit, and the return causes the weakness of the Yi people in Daliangshan, the Yi people in northern Yunnan will take the opportunity to enter the Daliangshan area, and the Yi people in Daliangshan will only give in to the Yi people in northern Yunnan if they fail to take refuge in the central government, In this way, Long Yun's forces will enter Xikang with the Yi people.

Then Zhuang Jihua introduced the beginning of self-study, pointing out that this person has received a Chinese education and is very influential in the local area, if he is gracious this time, he will be grateful to Dade, which will be of great benefit to the stability of the Daliangshan area.

After receiving Zhuang Jihua's telegram, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Long Yun, demanding that the military operations in the Jinsha River area be stopped immediately, and that the troops be transferred to the Yunnan-Guizhou border to prepare to enter Guangxi to fight. Long Yun really used the tense situation on the Sichuan-Yunnan border as an excuse to refuse to send troops.

After Zhuang Jihua saw Liu Wenhui in Ya'an, he asked him how he wanted to deal with this matter, what else could Liu Wenhui say at this moment, except for leaving a brigade by his side, the other troops were all going to the Huili area, but the total number was only 13,000 people, which was too big a gap compared to Long Yun's 50,000 horses.

Liu Wenhui was in a hurry, and he completely lost his opinion, which made Zhuang Jihua secretly sneer in his heart, if he Liu Ziqian is a person who has no ideas, dare to stretch out his hand to northern Yunnan, since you dragged me into the water, then you must pay the price, and the supreme command of the army in the Huili area must be held in your hands.

If you don't have a broom, the dust won't run on its own; Zhuang Jihua first based on the battle, and the escort force now has more than 8,000 people to Huili, which is the largest gathering of the escort outside of Chongqing. In this way, the escort team plus the 24th Army totaled more than 20,000 people, and it was quite enough to play defense.

Liu Wenhui was very reluctant to give this command, but he had to give it, after getting Liu Wenhui's warrant, Zhuang Jihua said to him with a smile: "General Liu, there is something wrong with me, those under my command can only listen to my orders, even the chairman can only give me orders." ”

Liu Wenhui scolded secretly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Cultural Revolution, don't worry, I will pass you to command them, if there is anything, you can give orders directly, if anyone does not listen to the order, you will shoot him, I have nothing to say." ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly: "Okay, this is what you said, farewell." ”

"Don't worry, Cultural Revolution, how do you want to solve this matter, can you tell me a thing or two." Liu Wenhui saw that Zhuang Jihua was leaving, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Isn't this clear," Zhuang Jihua said in a good time: "Two, both sides strike the army, you pay them some money, it is a loss of Lu Quan." ”

Liu Wenhui listened and didn't say anything, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but want to scold in his heart, and he wanted to do nothing when he provoked an incident, your shares in the Sichuan Development Company were actually picked up, and the development of Xikang has not been done much, so much money in his hands, don't you panic.

"General Ziqian, we are all understanding people, and this condition is already very lenient for you."

Liu Wenhui smiled bitterly, knowing that his mind had been seen through again, he nodded, and accepted the plan. But Zhuang Jihua made him worry again: "However, if Long Yun doesn't agree, the conditions may change, and I will send you a telegram when the time comes." ”

Zhuang Jihua did not go any further when he walked to Dechang, he sent a telegram to Long Yun in Dechang, suggesting that they meet and talk by the Jinsha River, or that he go to Kunming to meet him, of course, all provided that the military operation stopped.

Long Yun was more proud at this time, Chiang Kai-shek could not take care of him now, his army forcibly crossed the Jinsha River and defeated Chen Guangzao, Liu Yuantang withdrew from Kyaukpingdu to Huili to hold on, and Chen Guangzao fled all the way to Dechang.

Zhuang Jihua did not receive a call back from Long Yun, but received the news that Huili was besieged, which shocked him, and he called Li Anding to ask about the status of the work team, and Li Anding called back to make him angry.

In his reply, Li Anding said that five members of the No. 2 geological team of the task force were killed and seven were injured, and that the hydropower station detachment had no time to withdraw and hid in its own territory, and was jointly attacked by the Yi people in northern Yunnan and the Yunnan army, and that 26 people were killed in the escort team, and 15 members of the team were taken away by the Yi people in northern Yunnan, including Cao Ruizhi, a hydropower expert; Other experts and professors did not die, and four people were injured, including civil engineering expert Li Shutian.

This telegram angered Zhuang Jihua, you Yi people vendetta, actually killed my work team, Zhuang Jihua was furious and called Long Yun again, proposing four points, one of which was to immediately release the fifteen team members who were taken captive; second, to immediately withdraw from the army and restore social order in the Huili area; (3) compensation of 8 million for the loss of life and property of the task force; Fourth, severely punish the leaders of the Yi people and the generals of the Dian army who led the attack.

After the telegram to Long Yun was sent, Zhuang Jihua calmed down a bit, feeling that things might not be as simple as he imagined, and Long Yun was probably determined to do something here. So he sent a telegram to Yucheng, ordering Du Yuming to lead another 20,000 people to Huili immediately, and at the same time ordering Song Yunfei to lead the special forces to Dechang as quickly as possible.

After making this arrangement, Zhuang Jihua rushed to Dechang overnight with the regiment that had been transferred to Xichang some time ago.

Then Li Anding called again and asked if he would join the war, Zhuang Jihua called back sarcastically and said, if you don't resist, see if the Dian army will let you go after entering the city.

After receiving the telegram, Li Anding consulted with Fan Hanjie, who was a military commander, but in the Panzhihua power system designed by Zhuang Jihua, he should be under Li Anding's command.

Li Anding was arrested and almost killed, although Fan Hanjie, who was in Fujian at the time, did not bear the main responsibility, but he also had to bear a little responsibility, but Li Anding did not know it.

But Li Anding knew that the development team had suffered unprecedented losses, and he was responsible, although Zhuang Jihua didn't mention it now, he didn't know what to do with it after the war, and now he had to make the blame.

"Brother Fan, how do you think we fight?" Li Anding was sent to the intelligence department by Chiang Kai-shek after quelling Liu Yang's rebellion, and basically did not go directly to the battlefield after that, while Fan Hanjie participated in the Northern Expedition and went to Germany for training, and his military experience far surpassed that of Li Anding, so it was of course him who commanded the battle.

"I went to Liu Yuantang to ask, he now has five regiments in his hands, Luquan and Jinshajiang lost about 1,000 people in the first battle, we have a whole brigade, more than 5,000 people, our two troops combined with more than 10,000 people, the chasing Yunnan army is six brigades commanded by Sun Du, with a total strength of 50,000 people. It's more than enough for us to keep this meeting. ”

"There are not so many people," Li Anding shook his head and said: "The number of the first brigade of the Yunnan Army is more than 7,000 people, and Long Yun has a total of eight brigades, two of which are newly formed last year and this year, and there are more than 20 security regiments, and the combat effectiveness of these security regiments is relatively low. It is impossible for Long Yun not to want Kunming, so there are no more than six brigades coming, and after deducting the casualties of the Luquan battle and the riverside battle, the regular army will not exceed 40,000 people. ”

Fan Hanjie looked at him with some surprise, and then understood: "It's worthy of being an agent, and all this information has been found clearly." ”

"When I came, the Cultural Revolution asked me to pay attention to collecting intelligence on Xikang and Yunnan, and he was afraid that something would happen at that time, but unfortunately" Li Anding sighed: "If it weren't for the trouble in Liangguang, the Central Army that had already arrived in Dali would not have gone out of Yunnan. ”

After Li Anding arrived at Huili, he painstakingly deployed an intelligence network in Xichang and Kunming, but he failed to break into the top level in Yunnan, and Long Yun trusted his Yi brothers the most, but even so, he obtained a lot of information about Yunnan.

Fan Hanjie saw Li Anding's depressed mood, knew that he was angry about the loss of the development team, and felt sorry for him, so he persuaded: "Things are already like this, we will try our best to fight this battle, the Cultural Revolution is there, I will talk about it when the time comes." Speaking of this, he paused: "Actually, you have done your best, our contraction action is already very fast, but Chen Guangzao loses faster, this bastard." The development team is so widely distributed that it is impossible to return to the city in time. ”

Li Anding shook his head and said: "Brother Fan, thank you, I am still responsible, I shouldn't have let them go to my house, I should have thought that this time the incident was caused by my own family, they will definitely not let go of my own family, I was negligent." ”

Li Anding was very sad when he said this, he remembered the experience of the past two years, and it was easy to escape from death row and be assigned to this remote place, but bad luck finally found him.

"You have been working in this remote place for almost two years, and the Panzhihua project is going well, and you have a lot of credit,"

Before Fan Hanjie's words were finished, Li Anding interrupted him: "Originally, I thought it was distribution, but only here did I know that the Cultural Revolution was entrusted to me, with millions of investments a year and nearly 100,000 manpower, this is a brilliant project, but now...., Brother Fan, I really have no shame to see him." ”

Fan Hanjie really didn't know what to say now, he patted Li Anding on the shoulder: "Ask someone who is not unreasonable, fight this battle first, the essence of the development team is here, if you can't hold the reason, the development team will be wiped out, and then we can only cut our own heads." ”

"No," Li Anding's eyes were red, "At that time, my head must have been cut off by those black bones." ”

The Yunnan army has appeared outside the city, Liu Yuantang convened his brigade commanders in the headquarters to discuss how to defend the city, these brigade commanders were terrified, they knew that Liu Wenhui's main force had been transferred here, and there was only one brigade left at home, and there was no force to relieve them at all, so they asked to break through immediately.
