Chapter 175: Zhou Weiren's Instructions
Li Kenong's secret letter was soon sent to Zhou Weiren. Zhou Weiren opened the secret letter, looked at the end from the beginning with a solemn face, and then slowly took out a match, and directly burned the letter in front of him to ashes.
Then Zhou Weiren sat down quietly, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, suddenly picked up the pen and paper on the table, wrote a reply, and asked the intelligence officer to hand it over to Li Kenong.
This secret letter, after the secret turnover of several traffic officers, was finally delivered to Li Kenong's home, Li Kenong took this secret letter, and through the bright light, saw the contents of the letter.
It turned out that Zhou Weiren thought that what Li Xiong said should be true, and advised Li Kenong not to panic, this Li Xiong had no malicious intent.
And it can be seen between the lines that this Li Xiong and Li Tie should be people on the same front, and they are more likely to be from the same organization.
This group has the same goal of rebelling against the warlords and the dictatorship, otherwise they would not be able to help themselves in every way.
And judging from Li Tie's usual support for ** before, Li Tie's organization can be regarded as a patriotic organization. At the same time, it is also an organization that wants to maintain good relations with their party
Therefore, Zhou Weiren's final instruction was to let Li Kenong and Li Xiong maintain a good relationship, of course, but also to keep an appropriate distance, and strive to understand each other as much as possible without affecting the safety of the tasks of both sides.
At the same time, Zhou Weiren fully affirmed the information on the mobilization of the domestic army that Li Kenong sent a few days ago, and encouraged him to continue the journey and strive to create greater brilliance.
In addition, Zhou Weiren deliberately marked at the end of the letter that all the information about Li Tie and Li Xiong in the future should not be used by real names, Li Tie should be replaced by iron, and Li Xiong should be replaced by Xiong.
Moreover, all the information about the two of them must not be kept in secret documents, and they will be burned immediately after reading. So as not to bring unnecessary trouble to friendly organizations because of their own mistakes.
After receiving Zhou Weiren's latest instructions, Li Kenong finally put his mind at ease and immediately burned the secret letter, recalling the bits and pieces since he met Li Tie.
He really couldn't figure out what type of person this Li Tie belonged to, and which organization he was in?
Li Kenong, who had a headache in the end, decided not to think about it, go to sleep, tomorrow the national army will have several batches of military supplies to the shore, and he has to arrange for someone from the investigation department to go and count the number.
At this moment, in the Shanghai Golden Tiger Club, Li Tie and the thousand-tailed scorpion were in the underground secret room, sending and receiving information sent back by various hidden disciples.
"The Gui army has gone north, but it has not yet left the Guangxi border, and is in contact with Chiang's army. Three of hearts. After reading a message, the two put the secret report in a small square box in front of the table, and then picked up the second secret report.
"Only two armies of the Northwest Army, namely Sun Liangcheng and Song Zheyuan, can move south into the Central Plains battlefield in a short period of time, and the rest of the troops are difficult to participate in the Central Plains battle in a short period of time due to the long distance and logistical supply difficulties. Five of hearts. ”
"The Jin army is actively preparing for war, and has already engaged in skirmishes with Chiang's army on the outskirts of Xuzhou, and both sides have suffered mutual damage. Ten of hearts. ”
"The Northeast Army has not moved recently, but a batch of ammunition was suddenly shipped from the Mukden Arsenal, and its whereabouts are unknown. At the same time, the Northeast Army requisitioned a large amount of grain from the Tianfang Grain Bank to the south, and the specific location of the transportation is unknown. Seven of hearts. ”
Wang Jingwei has been in frequent contact with unknown people recently, and judging by his behavior, it seems that most of them are military people. He also made contact with a number of important members of the Nationalist Government, and seemed to be engaged in tandem. The specific content of the meeting is unknown, but the anti-Chiang intention is obvious. Plum two. ”
"The Japanese army in the northeast has been very stable recently, with no abnormal movements and no abnormal movements. It's just that the day before yesterday, three radio reconnaissance vehicles were transferred from Japan, as if they were going to detect the radio stations in Mukden City, and the specific situation is being followed up. Nine of spades. ”
"Chiang Kai-shek's favorite general He Chengjun is searching for beautiful women on Pinghan Road, and it is said that he is trying to buy the officers and soldiers of the West Route Army of the anti-Chiang Alliance with money and beauties. Plum Nine"
There were dozens of secret reports like this, most of which were news from the Hidden Hall disciples of the Axe Gang distributed across the country.
Although there are only a few dozen messages, the news conveyed by each one is extremely precious, which shows that the disciples of the Hidden Hall have entered many warlord systems across the country.
It's just that what makes Li Tie angry is that the identity of the disciple of the Hidden Hall has always been personally checked by the thousand-tailed scorpion, and before Wang Yaqiao gave the order, Li Tie only had the right to use it, not the right to know. After all, Yintang actually belongs to the Axe Gang, and it is not like the battle hall in Shanghai, and it was directly given to Li Tie as a marriage contract for a thousand-tailed scorpion.
Looking at the secret reports sent from all over the country in front of him, Li Tie knew that from a formal point of view, the anti-Chiang alliance had a total of eight routes, but in fact, only the four-way army really acted.
For the rest, the Fifth to Eighth Armies were only brought in by the anti-Chiang alliance, and neither the Northeast Army of Zhang Xueliang of the proposed Fifth Army nor the Sichuan warlord Liu Wenhui of the Sixth Army were able to really participate in the war against Chiang.
Because Zhang Xueliang wanted to guard against the Japanese and Soviets on the one hand, he also wanted to preserve his strength and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. As for Liu Wenhui, now he and his nephew Liu Xiang are fighting openly and secretly for the dominance of Sichuan, and they can't spare their hands at all, let alone spare troops to oppose Chiang.
So in fact, the forces at the disposal of the two sides are very different.
And the Nationalist government army represented by Chiang Kai-shek was not as vulnerable as the outside world imagined, because it had been vigorously supported by the Jiangsu, Zhejiang chaebols and foreign compradors.
In just two years, Chiang Kai-shek already had no less than 400,000 elite soldiers capable of fighting well, and 200,000 second-rate troops attached to Chiang Kai-shek's side, which were available for use.
Today's Chiang army has enough food and food, and the territory under its control is relatively concentrated, and because Chiang also controls railways, aviation, and shipping, Chiang Jun has been exempted from the shortcomings of the anti-Chiang coalition army's labor expedition, and can replace work with ease, and can mobilize large armies for reinforcements everywhere in a short time.
Therefore, even though the surrounding army of nearly one million was menacing, the Jiang army did not take a defensive position as everyone imagined, but took the initiative to attack Wan Xuan and Sun Dianying, who arrived at the Xuzhou battlefield first.
Because Chiang's army was well prepared and the air and ground were combined, the two armies were given a head-on blow. The two armies were quickly defeated and surrounded by Chiang's army, and this battle alone disrupted the deployment of the anti-Chiang alliance.
The original plan of the anti-Chiang alliance failed in its intention to kill Chiang's army, and it had to temporarily mobilize troops from elsewhere to rescue the besieged Wan Xuan and Sun Dianying.
However, after all, the anti-Chiang coalition army was outnumbered, not only mobilized heavy troops to rescue, but soon the strong Northwest Army found the field again, defeated the Chiang army in a row, and used white-knuckle combat to make the Jiang army forget the wind and flee.
The Northwest Army, which wanted to expand the results of the battle, even united with the Jin army to attack from two directions, and together flanked the fleeing Jiang army.
Just when the Northwest Army took advantage of the victory to pursue, it did not expect that the Jin army, which had low combat strength on the way to pursue, did not keep up with the pace of the Northwest Army's attack, so that the Northwest Army went deep into the hinterland of the Jiang army, and was killed by the Jiang army and ate most of the pursuing army.
Moreover, the Chiang army took advantage of the shortcomings of the two armies to cooperate and encircled this lone army again, so the anti-Chiang alliance organized a large number of troops to rescue the lone army of the Northwest Army.
In this way, the armies of both sides, the rescue of rescue, the fight of blockade, in the eastern battlefield of Xuzhou, everyone repeatedly surrounded me, I surrounded you again, today you eat part of my army, tomorrow I will eat part of your army, and the two sides soon entered the deep pool of attrition.
In this way, the troops of both sides totaling more than 1.5 million yuan will fight bigger and bigger, and the scale will become larger and larger, and the last two armies of more than 1 million will fight in several provinces in the Central Plains.
From May to September, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted. As a result, the Jin army, which had the worst combat strength, first sprouted the intention of retreating. On the battlefield, there is no time to slack off, and there is no effort to work.
And the Jiang army on the opposite side was also happy to relax, and no longer tried their best to attack the Jin army, so everyone stopped fighting, and no one could eat each other in one bite, and the war had entered the stage of stalemate.
This situation lasted until 18 September, when Zhang Xueliang suddenly issued a telegram in support of Chiang Kai-shek and led a large number of elite soldiers of the Northeast Army into the customs, and the whole situation immediately changed dramatically.
First of all, Yan Xishan, who had already had the intention of retreating, immediately withdrew from the battlefield and quietly left his comrades and returned to Shanxi. Immediately afterwards, Shi Yousan's troops of the Fourth Front Army said that they stood on Zhang Xueliang's side, and not only withdrew from the battle, but also defected to cut off the rear road of the Northwest Army.
In order to end the Central Plains War as soon as possible so that he could return to his division to deal with the newly established Red Army, Chiang Kai-shek bribed the officers and men of the Northwest Army, who had been impoverished for many years, with a lenient attitude. Not only did he promise to be a high-ranking official, but he also directly sent countless money beauties to bribe the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army.
Many generals of the Northwest Army also did not want to return to the bitter cold land of the Northwest, and as a result, most of the army was divided between Zhang Xueliang and Jiang's army.
The Gui army, the other main force of the anti-Chiang army, only fought a few times during the Central Plains War, although it nominally attacked Chiang's territory, in fact it only regained control of Guangxi.
and drove all the pro-Chiang Gui generals out of Guangxi, and Guangxi truly became an independent kingdom of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.
In the 30-year Central Plains War, more than 300,000 soldiers were killed and wounded on both sides, and the war spread to more than 20 provinces and cities across the country, making China, which was already impoverished, even more impoverished.
Although Li Tie has imported hundreds of thousands of tons of grain from all over the world, it is still a drop in the bucket to invest in the huge China.
Fortunately, because of Li Tie's arrival, although it did not prevent the Great War, but because of Li Tie's efforts with some patriotic businessmen in China, there were not many casualties among the people in this Central Plains War, and there was no starvation everywhere in the previous life, which can be regarded as preserving a trace of vitality for China.
