Zhang Xueliang looked at Zhang Xuewu and said: "In this battle of Rehe, your victory is really a fluke!" You can't be so reckless in the future! ”

Zhang Xuewu said with a smile: "I also admit that I am lucky, but why didn't I come with a fluke mentality?" The materials and ammunition did not arrive from North Korea, and he dared to mobilize the army to launch an offensive in the cold winter, in fact, he said that he was on a big adventure, and the initial rout of our army boosted his arrogance, so they temporarily revised their campaign plan, captured Chengde and hoarded materials, and waited for the spring to attack along the Great Wall, and even threaten the Pingjin area! I also saw this, and I bet that I also lack the preparation to deal with the severe cold, and that my army has not conducted any large-scale operations since the Russian War, and they are at best the elite on the training ground! ”

Zhang Xueliang smiled slightly and said, "You! Can't you be modest? ”

Zhang Xuewu waved his hand and said: "The officers and men of our army use their lives, the fortifications are solid, the firepower is strong, there are aircraft support in the air, there are artillery fire and tanks on the ground, and the firepower of light weapons is several times stronger than that of the army. The winner wins, what am I humble with a group of defeated men? Raise their ambition to destroy their prestige? ”

Zhang Xueliang smiled helplessly, put a few small sweet potatoes on the side next to the stove, and stirred the charcoal fire in the stove with iron tongs and said absentmindedly: "Chengwen, in a few days, Nanjing's promotion order, you are now the youngest lieutenant general corps commander in China, when I am the corps commander, it will be a warlord separation, now it is the Republic of China period, the teenage major general division commander, and the twenty-year-old governor are all jokes in the early years, your position is your hard work, where is the credit, everyone will be red when they see it!" But not everyone sees it this way, this time Nanjing Jiang Gong promoted you Everyone echoed it, many of them are afraid of bad intentions, these duplicitous people just want to kill you, Mu Xiu Yu Lin Feng will destroy the truth I believe you understand. ”

Zhang Xuewu nodded solemnly and said: "Nanjing political axe is so sparing, it is nothing more than the idea of the officer of the military camp that fights with iron, my Northeast Army has lost the land of the three provinces, and Rehe is my last foothold, and now cousin, although you still control the provinces, I am afraid that it is not enough compared with before!" Although I am nominally the Central Army, but in fact you and my brothers are connected by blood, I want to train a strong army, if someone is said to offend me again, or the actual maturity, I should raise troops and march forward to fight a battle to recover the land, then the Nanjing political axe will be dragged in by me even if I don't want to, the northeast is the place where my generation lives and lives, and the ancestral house is located, how can I let it be occupied? ”

Zhang Xueliang took a deep breath, at this moment Zhang Xueliang must admit that his cousin Zhang Xuewu is very good at encouraging people, and planning with Chengwen, it seems that he has also become bold!

However, Zhang Xueliang is not Zhang Xuewu after all, the indecision of his surname makes him think more calmly and analyze, in fact, arranging troops to wage war is more courage and guts, the more you think about it, the more problems you find, and the more problems you find, the more unfavorable it seems to be for your side? His guts have been exhausted by rational analysis.

At this point, Zhang Xueliang also knows where his weaknesses lie, compared with himself at the time of the Shenyang Incident, and himself in the Battle of Rehe, it seems that he has always been taking risks, and he dares to make a move if he has a two-point chance of winning, and he dares to fight to the death if he has a three- or four-point chance of winning? What a crazy nation-state this is?

Zhang Xueliang threw a hot sweet potato to Zhang Xuewu and said: "Rehe is such a hot sweet potato, and the neighboring Chahar and Suiyuan are also like hot charcoal fires, it is not wise to take chestnuts from the fire, but it also depends on whether the means of taking chestnuts in the fire are clever or not, do you understand?" ”

Zhang Xuewu looked at Zhang Xueliang meaningfully, it can be said that now the two of them are really grasshoppers tied to a rope, before he was only the commander of a division, not enough for this qualification, so Zhang Xueliang did not talk to him too much, obviously now that he has been promoted to lieutenant general and corps commander, he seems to have such a qualification.

Zhang Xueliang peeled the sweet potato skin, and said expressionlessly: "The main reason why you want to be windy and rainy on Jiang Gong's side in Nanjing is that you have my cousin, I have 300,000 Northeast officers and soldiers under my command, these people are not the descendants of Nanjing, but Nanjing's henchmen, with me Zhang Hanqing on one side, and my 300,000 soldiers of the Northeast Army, you will have a good life in Nanjing, on the contrary, the cunning rabbit and the dead hound cooked!" I believe that such a simple truth does not need me to tell you, how to clean up the place is your problem, whether it is Chahar or Suiyuan, as long as you have the ability, you can eat it, understand? ”

Zhang Xuewu frowned slightly, maybe Zhang Xueliang is not as good as him in terms of strategy and tactics, but he is not as experienced as Zhang Xueliang in how to be an official and run a party.

Zhang Xueliang smiled meaningfully and said: "If Chahar and Suiyuan are in turmoil, and the officials who go to office are repeatedly stopped and robbed, what will happen if the local government is not governed?" You are a soldier, although you have the name of the chairman of a province, but can you know that the Executive Yuan has a deep hatred for a soldier serving as the chairman of the province? But those scholars can only shout empty slogans, and most of them are corrupt officials and incompetent people, do you understand what I said? ”

Zhang Xuewu looked at Zhang Xueliang in surprise, if Zhang Xueliang's so-called attainments in military strategy and tactics really did not dare to compliment him, but in terms of playing tricks, Zhang Xuewu felt that he had to learn too much, before he just imagined that Chahar and Suiyuan would be controlled in his own hands, Chahar is a strategic point, especially its capital Zhangjiakou, and Suiyuan is close to the border between Suzhou and Mongolia.

Now Zhang Xueliang has pointed out the ways and practices for himself, it can be said that Zhang Xueliang came over today to confess to Zhang Xuewu, the so-called brothers work together, and their strength is broken! This means that all actions after Zhang Xuewu will be supported and helped by Zhang Xueliang.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Xueliang, who is ashamed in his heart, is extremely generous, there is news in Nanjing that Zhang Xuewu is going to supplement 600 grassroots officers, but because it is impossible to transfer enough grassroots officers for a while, so it can only be supplemented with 300 for the time being, and from each of the three divisions of the 17th Army a complete formation of the main force regiment, directly allocated to Zhang Xuewu, fortunately Zhang Xuewu is to ask people not to equip, even so Guan Linzheng, Huang Jie, Liu Jian and others are heartache and scratch their livers, Zhang Xuewu once found Guan Linzheng and wanted Dai Anlan, the head of the department, As a result, Guan Lin gave him a big white eye and returned home.

Between the Nanjing supplement, Zhang Xueliang's generous hand waved, 500 company-platoon-level grass-roots officers, 10,000 carefully selected veterans, 20,000 recruits trained in Tangshan, and two cadet brigades in Beiping, all of which were all with a secondary school degree or above, were all supplemented to Zhang Xuewu, and the remaining part of the insufficient troops was recruited and recruited by Zhang Xuewu to solve the problem.

Zhang Xueliang was in Chengde for a few days, and after sending Zhang Xueliang away, Zhang Xuewu felt that everything in front of him suddenly became clear? With the support of Nanjing and the dual support of Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xuewu can definitely let go and make a big difference in the vast world of Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan.

In Zhang Xuewu's memory, after the Battle of Rehe, in the face of the ambitious Yueben Empire, China and the Soviet Union will soon resume the establishment of diplomatic relations, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Zhang Xuewu, the greed of the polar bear makes it easier for Zhang Xuewu to obtain weapons, and some of Zhang Xuewu's designs and ideas must also be realized through the polar bear's military factory, and in the future to resist the large-scale invasion of the Yue army, he must have a backing that he can rely on.

In fact, Zhang Xuewu has not considered cooperating with other parties, such as Germany and the United States are one of the options, but the United States is neutral, domestic isolationism is prevalent, and it only recognizes money! Until the end of 1941, the United States was still exporting scrap steel, aero engines, refined oil, rubber, grain, and so on, and the resources plundered on the Chinese battlefield were converted into purchasing power, and it can be said that from the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance in 1937 to the Pearl Harbor incident in 1942, almost every dollar was stained with the blood of the Chinese people, and in disguise, it was said that the export economy of the United States supported the war of aggression against China.

Therefore, Zhang Xuewu does not have any special favorable impression of the Americans, and the United States is a major exporter of the United States, and in some respects the little arms it has purchased is not enough for the Americans to plug their teeth.

Compared with Soviet-made weapons, the design concept and production process of German weapons are definitely ahead of an era, but Zhuchenov once said that under basically the same conditions of reciprocity, when quality is proportional to quantity, quality beats quantity, and when quantity and quality reach the critical point of six to one, quantity will drown out quality.

In fact, during World War II, taking tanks as an example, the quality of Germany was indeed overwhelmed by the quantity of the Soviet Union, so Zhang Xuewu could only prepare more, as for how to hook up with the Soviets and arouse the interest and attention of the other party, Zhang Xuewu decided to work on the design concept drawings of the old tank armored car.

But all this was just Zhang Xuewu's plan, and Zhang Xuewu's urgent delay was to immediately start the formation of the Rehe Corps after receiving the appointment of the Supreme Military Commission in Nanjing.
