Chapter 1134 should be regarded as a relative

The main force of the three divisions of the Gui Army relied on the Hunan and Guizhou Railway, quickly went north, and after taking Lingling, they continued to attack Qiyang in the north, and the two divisions of the Zhang Da Division of the Guangdong Army drove from Chenzhou to Hengyang at the same time, in an attempt to form a flanking attack on Hengyang with the three divisions led by Liao Lei. Chen Cheng, who was sitting in Wuhan www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", urgently requisitioned a train to send the 77th and 79th Divisions to Hengyang as quickly as possible, and both sides were racing against time to seize speed, striving to take the lead in controlling the strategic place of Hengyang.

On June 4, the generals of the two Guangdong provinces, Chen Jitang, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, etc., telegraphed the whole country, asking the central government to allow them to send troops to the north to resist Japan, and the whole country was in an uproar, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River, who had just bid farewell to the war for a few days, suddenly panicked and screamed sadly, and the voices of selling off the industry came and went.

The next day, Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang respectively sent telegrams to Chen Jitang and Li Zongren, and once again sternly warned the two: They must not provoke a civil war under the watchful eyes of foreign enemies, and the Guangdong and Guizhou armies openly entered the neighboring provinces and regions, which was really a violation of the order, and the salvation and survival of the country must be integrated and acted in concert to achieve victory.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Peide, chairman of Yunnan Province, Liu Xiang, chairman of Sichuan Province, and Wu Zhongxin, chairman of Guizhou Province, issued telegrams one after another, calling on Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to stop fighting and respond to the call of the central authorities not to provoke a civil war and leave a glimmer of life for the country and the nation. Feng Yuxiang, Li Liejun and other veterans called Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi again to Beijing for detailed talks to resolve differences.

Under such circumstances, Huang Shaohong and An Yi, who had been cooled by Li Zongren for a week, finally made the trip and flew from Nanjing to Nanning Airport on An Yi's special plane.

During the week-long waiting, the worried Huang Shaohong stayed with An Yi every day to discuss the current situation between the two Guangzhou, and An Yi very frankly handed Huang Shaohong all kinds of information presented in the fourth hall every day to read:

Li Jishen and Chen Mingshu have set off from Hong Kong and secretly rushed to Nanning; The remnants of Cai Tingkai's 19th Route Army drove from the Guangdong-Guizhou border to Guilin at high speed, and the generals of the two Guangxi and Guangxi met several times to discuss the establishment and expansion of military and political institutions......

Every piece of news made Huang Shaohong worried, Huang Shaohong, who was born in the Gui department, was particularly anxious about Guangxi's willful behavior, not to mention that the Yunnan army in Yunnan was ready to fight at any time to the Yunnan-Guizhou border, not to mention that the Shizhen Department, which was closely related to the Gui family, suddenly became alienated, and the army was urgently transferred to Xingyi, Anlong and other places, just that Zhang Cunzhuang's 49th Army in Xiangxi was ordered by *** and slowly forced towards the border of Hunan and Guangxi, posing a great threat to the flanks of Liao Lei's three divisions. It is already doomed that the Gui army will not be able to get the slightest benefit from entering Hunan this time, not to mention the crisis that the seven divisions of the Central Army are heading to the border of southern Hunan and northern Guangdong.

If a war really breaks out, I am afraid that the armies of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan will suddenly enter from the western, northwestern, and northern parts of Guangxi, and in the blink of an eye, the whole of Guangxi will face the tragedy of human suffering, and the industrial and agricultural foundation that tens of millions of Guangxi soldiers and civilians have worked so hard to build will collapse in an instant.

However, without the consent of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaohong could not leave for Nanning at all to stop the imminent civil war, and could only stare at the rapidly changing grim situation every day.

Relatively speaking, An Yi is very relaxed, most of the time is busy running around for the army in North China and the Sui and Cha regions, and in the past few days, he has been in frequent contact with General Chen Tiaoyuan, the president of the Senate, who represents the central government and flew to North China to coordinate the relationship between various ministries and jointly deal with the threat, asking about the status of the armies and the morale of the army, giving advice to Chen Tiaoyuan, and strictly ordering the 17th Army to send a special brigade to ensure the safety of Chen Tiaoyuan and his party throughout the process.

The plane avoided the changeable low-air currents of spring and summer, and rose smoothly to an altitude of 8,000 meters, and the golden sunlight entered the cabin through the porthole. An Yi unbuckled his seat belt, stood up and stretched his waist, and talked to Lin Yaodong, the chief of the guard who came to his side, about how to arrange the wedding of Lin Yaodong and Katerina, a little white Russian beauty who was four months pregnant.

Lin Yaodong, who had already obtained the approval of his parents, told An Yi happily that Sister Gong and Ye Qing had planned a wedding ceremony combining Chinese and Western cultures, and that his brother Lin Xudong and nearly 100 relatives and friends living in the United States from his parents' family had arrived in Hong Kong on their company's ocean liners, and after picking up the master and Ah Biao and other good brothers, they continued to go north, and it was estimated that they would be able to gather in Syria in another week.

After Lin Yaodong stepped back, Huang Shaohong shook his head helplessly: "Brother Xian, I really don't understand you, it seems that you are not in a hurry at all about the situation between Guangxi and Guangzhou?" ”

An Yi smiled and said, "Big brother, I'm in a hurry, is it useless?" You also know that Ren Gong, Chen Zhenru (Chen Shuming) two highly respected leaders, as well as Huang Yuxing (Huang Qixiang), Cai Xianchu (Cai Tingkai), Weng Jiatian (Weng Zhaoyuan) and other more than a dozen fierce generals have gathered in Nanning at this time, Degong and Jiansheng generals are strong and strong, like a tiger with wings, who can say that they can be moved at this time? Big brother, don't forget my uncle who is full of resentment towards Chairman Jiang, he, like you, was also one of the four giants of the Gui family back then, and he is also the most respected eldest brother of the three of you. With him here, we will definitely not be able to bargain for anything when we go to Nanning this time, that is, we will do our best to be worthy of the trust of the Central Committee and Chairman Jiang. ”

Huang Shaohong thought for a moment, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, it stands to reason that you are most worried about giving the Japanese a chance to take advantage of the civil strife...... Are you really not worried about a fight? ”

An Yi refused Shen Fengdao's help, poured a cup of tea for himself and Huang Shaohong, and after returning to his seat, he stuffed a cup into Huang Shaohong's hand, sat down and said with a smile:

"The younger brother thinks that this battle can't be fought, the Central Army and the Hunan Army are rapidly assembling to the border between Guangzhou, and the two divisions commanded by Chen Cixiu are the first to come first, and successfully seize Hengyang, which is weak, my old brother Zhang Cunzhuang is still polite, and he did not take the opportunity to retaliate because of the conspiracy against them by Duke De and General Jiansheng, he just commanded the 49th Army to seal the back of General Liao Lei's abdomen and seal the western section of the Hunan and Guizhou borders, but this arrangement is terrible, even if the Seventh Army, which won the reputation of the Steel Army in the Northern Expedition, is strong in combat effectiveness, can't withstand the belly and back of Chen Cixiu and Zhang Cunzhuang's 70,000-strong army, right?

"What's more, what is the combat effectiveness of the 49th Army in Xiangxi, you know that the eldest brother is definitely not under the 26th Army of the younger brother, so if you are General Degong and Jiansheng, do you dare to stay on the front line of southern Hunan with supply difficulties and stay away from the rear? Only by retreating to the territory of Guangxi and strictly guarding to the death can we give full play to our own advantages and make up for the lack of troops.

"Although Degong has issued a national mobilization order, although Guangxi's militia organization is the best in the country, but let the fathers and villagers in the fields carry guns and assemble, it is not possible to guarantee combat effectiveness, and it is okay to rely on familiar terrain to fight guerrilla warfare like the Red Army. As long as Liao Lei retreats, the two armies will form a confrontation situation, and when the time comes, there will naturally be groups of peacemakers who come forward to Zhou Xuan, and if they want to fight again, the initiative is not in the hands of General Degong and Jiansheng. ”

Huang Shaohong deeply agreed, but was still deeply worried about the current situation:

"It's hard to say, if there is a misfire, both sides will soon kill the red eye, and even if you want to stop, you can't stop it, this crisis can't be fundamentally ruled out."

To put it bluntly, the commissioners and the military commission bigwigs took a fancy to the younger brother because of the long-term economic and trade relations between Guangxi and Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and let the younger brother accompany you on a trip, which means to remind the Gui generals that if you continue to make trouble, there will be no business to do.

"In fact, the younger brother is not willing to take care of these things at all, and General Degong and General Jiansheng are not at odds with the younger brother, there are contradictions between them and the central government, but there is no conflict with the younger brother, so although it seems to be tense on the surface, our business is still doing as it is. The little brother has made up his mind, and he will go to Nanning with you purely to help you drink, otherwise in the face of my uncle and so many old friends who have fought side by side, where will I put my little brother's face? Think of it as a relative, haha! An Yi took a sip of tea and joked with a smile.

Huang Shaohong was quite annoyed: "How can you stay out of the matter?" Even if you don't worry about the commission to clean you up, you have to think about the well-being of tens of millions of people in Bagui! Your Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou border areas and southern Yunnan are running so well that they are called the paradise of the world by the people of the whole country, but you also have to think about your compatriots in other regions, right? You can't be so selfish! ”

"Why does that sound sour to me? What can the little brother do if he is not selfish? Since the princes of all walks of life praised the younger brother's territory as a paradise on earth, why didn't they follow suit? Besides, the younger brother is now only a small director of the local appeasement office, half a level lower than you, the governor of Zhejiang Province, and only manages two large areas on the border of the motherland, how can he save the toiling masses of the whole of China with his meager efforts? Even if the younger brother has this ambition, he must ask the princes from the central to the local government if they agree! Big brother, you are in a hurry, you are in a hurry, understand?

"Forget it, I advise you to want to open a little too, don't get too excited, and then you will see your former brothers and old friends and relatives, if you make something unpleasant, it will be too unworthy, alas...... The so-called authorities are fascinated, and bystanders are clear, this sentence is indeed a wise saying! ”

An Yi leaned back after explaining, picked up a report on the small desktop, and read it leisurely.

Huang Shaohong also knew very well that the reason why the Yunnan Army and the 49th Army in Xiangxi did not take further action was not because they had not yet issued orders, in fact, Chiang Kai-shek had already sent secret telegrams several times, requiring all departments to arrive at the intended combat positions as soon as possible and be ready to enter Guangxi to fight at any time, but the reply telegram repeatedly told that the war preparation materials had not yet been in place, and further integration was needed to send troops, and the mastermind behind all this, Naturally, it was the result of An Yi, the leader of the entire Southwest Alliance, secretly controlling him.

In addition, although the Qianxi Shizhen Department made an aggressive posture to threaten the border of Guizhou and Guizhou, it still opened up business and did a lot of business with Guangxi, which is undoubtedly a concrete embodiment of Anyi Group's position and attitude from a certain point of view.

Now An Yi is arrogantly predicting that he can't fight, obviously not nonsense without purpose, or wishful thinking. Huang Shaohong knows An Yi's vision and talent very well, and An Yi's accurate judgment of the national situation has long been well-known at home and abroad, and he is a recognized genius in the military circles. Since An Yi made such a judgment, he must have good reasons.

At this time, Huang Shaohong didn't know that the seemingly powerful Liangguang was actually happening every day, and he didn't know what Chiang Kai-shek had done, but it was just to show a resolute and uncompromising posture, in fact, he had successfully established contact with Yu Hanmou, Li Hansoul, deputy commander of the Air Force, Huang Zhigang, and others.

As a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission and has been in charge of the Fourth Department of the General Staff Headquarters, a powerful intelligence agency, An Yi has naturally seen the changes, and even directly participated in the planning of one of the plans, so An Yi is very calm in his heart, and he is not worried about fighting at all, and he admires and supports Chiang Kai-shek's strategy of gradually dividing and disintegrating layer by layer and surrendering troops without a fight.

After all, a strong enemy can no longer withstand a large-scale civil war in the face of China, which is full of disasters, and this is not only the unanimous understanding of Chiang Kai-shek and the members of the Central Committee, but also the strong voice of the military and people from all walks of life throughout the country.

On the apron of Nanning Airport, more than 10 generals, including Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Huang Xuchu, Cai Tingkai, Huang Qixiang, and Weng Zhaoyuan, looked at the AN5 transport plane that turned around at the end of the runway after landing smoothly, and talked and laughed with each other and discussed it easily.

Huang Qixiang sighed with emotion, his heart was excited, he had never seen his little brother An Yi for several years, and now that they were about to meet, he didn't know what to say. Recalling the glorious battle of crossing the enemy formation in the dark night in the past, and then thinking of his current situation, Huang Qixiang couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"Yuxing, it's been a long time since I've met Brother An, right?"

The shrewd Bai Chongxi took in Huang Qixiang's expression.

Huang Qixiang shook his head and smiled: "Yes! This guy was just an engineer battalion commander back then, and the hair on his mouth didn't grow, but now he is a member of the Standing Committee, haha! This guy is richer than the younger brother imagined, Brother Jiansheng, please look at this big plane, it's enough to be stylish, right? ”

Bai Chongxi teased: "Brother An is generous and righteous, he will definitely be overjoyed to see you, as long as you open your mouth, I'm afraid he will send you one." ”

Huang Qixiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at himself: "Even if Brother An generously gives it, the younger brother can't afford it!" It would be too wasteful to raise such an aircraft, and the cost is not under one main regiment...... The plane has stopped, let's go with Degong to greet the distinguished guests! ”

Bai Chongxi politely signaled to Huang Qixiang, and the two followed behind Li Zongren and Cai Tingkai with a smile, and walked side by side to the big plane that slowly opened the cabin door.
