Chapter 120, Civil War 2
The unexpected civil war broke out suddenly, Lu Qiang was a little stunned, he thought that he would have to wait until about October, but he didn't expect the bald head to start the war so impatiently. It is estimated that he took advantage of his Lu Qiang's eyes in the northeast, and he had no time to estimate the country, so he rashly sent troops.
Okay, but the civil war is none of his business, he just needs to honestly fight with the Japanese army in the northeast, he Lu Qiang will never take the initiative to participate in the civil war, but he can participate passively, than if the army suddenly comes to tease him, then the initiative is in his hands.
Yan'an severely reprimanded the bald head's behavior, saying that the bare disregard for the people's expectations for peace and brazenly launched a civil war......
In this way, Yan'an is on the side of justice and wields the butcher's knife of sanctions against Chongqing.
Even the Japanese side found it a little strange that the 41st Army was fighting with them as if it were defending against a foreign enemy, but the fruit army was waging a civil war at home, which was simply amazing.
But in any case, the war has already started, the Kuomintang/Communist Party has been on fire, and the land of China has once again ignited the smoke of gunpowder.
Hu Zongnan of Xi'an led a large army north to Yan'an and cooperated with Yan Xishan in an attempt to flank the Red Party.
Unlike in the past, today's Red Party army has all kinds of machine guns and cannons, and the weapons are no longer all of the international brand, the main force has long been replaced by 56 and a half, and the second-line troops use Mauser rifles. 56 and a half is too expensive, and it costs too much bullets, and they are a little difficult to bear this kind of consumption, even if Lu Qiang is loaned to them without interest, so in addition to the main force, other armies still use Mauser rifles, compared to the formal, the original Mauser rifle is much better, at least there will be no overheating of the barrel, resulting in the difficulty of pulling the bolt.
Hu Zongnan led an army of nearly 200,000 and Yan Xishan's army of more than 100,000 people, approaching step by step. ”
Artillery of various calibers was pushed up by the Eighth Road, and it was a shelling of the attacking Guo Army, and the Guo Army, which lacked artillery, was not an opponent at all, and several attacks, except for the loss of a lot of corpses, did not receive any goods, but consumed a lot of artillery shells from the Eighth Road.
Although there is no shortage of cannonballs, there is still a lack of shells.
"Why is the firepower so strong if you don't pick up these dirt buns?" Hu Zongnan and Yan Xishan were both startled by the fire of the Eighth Road, and the artillery and machine guns pressed them to fight, so that they had almost no power to fight back, and hurriedly reported to Chongqing.
"What?" The bald head was shocked when he learned about it, and suddenly he remembered that the Red Party and the 41st Group Army had always cooperated, although he didn't know the degree of cooperation, he estimated that it was only a shallow cooperation before, but from now on, the relationship between them is not shallow, otherwise where would they get so many cannons, machine guns, and even tanks.
"Chairman, this war is a bit hasty." Chen Cheng sighed quietly beside him.
"yes? But what now? The bald head was a little disheartened.
"Why don't we buy some equipment from the 41st Army?" Chen Cheng proposed.
"Will they sell? Now Lu Qiang and the Red Party almost wear a pair of pants. The bald head said coldly, very dissatisfied with Lu Qiang's behavior of throwing himself into the Red Party.
"No, judging from some newspapers, Lu Qiang did not vote for the Red Party, there should be some kind of deal between them, so we may be able to reach a deal with him." Chen Cheng said.
"Okay, you quickly contact him, no matter how much it costs, buy me three divisions, and don't come back with five divisions' equipment." The bald head immediately said excitedly.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Chen Cheng nodded and said.
The result was undoubtedly disappointing to them, and Lu Qiang prevaricated under the pretext of not participating in the civil war.
But another point made them a little happy: Lu Qiang said that during the civil war, he would not sell any weapons and equipment to both sides.
With this sentence, the bald head was still very happy, without Lu Qiang's mixing, he believed that he would be able to block the Red Party's army.
As everyone knows, Lu Qiang has a military factory in Yan'an, and the Red Party has shares in it, and the Red Party also has enough logistics supplies for him to dismiss/release/use the army for half a year, and if used properly, these alone are enough to drive the bald head out of China.
However, the bald head did not know this, he was still happy that Lu Qiang did not participate, in his opinion, the military factories in Yan'an were all Lu Qiang's, as long as Lu Qiang did not participate, soon the ammunition of the Red Party ran out, and it fell back to the point where there was no ammunition to use.
The idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel, and the bald head quickly pays the price for his actions. The abandoned land was constantly eaten by the Red Party, and the fruit army all cowered in Chengli, refused to defend the city, and abandoned the countryside, so the result returned to the strategy of "surrounding the city from the countryside" in those years.
It's just that the fruit army was forced to defend the city, and they didn't dare to come out, so that the city was isolated one after another, and the final result was that most of the defenders surrendered, no way, they were blocked in the city, and after the food was exhausted, in addition to surrendering, they fought to the death, but did they have that courage? It's just a bunch of miscellaneous troops, all of which are pulled up by Zhuangding.
Of course, these are all afterthoughts, the bald head has just given the order to shrink the troops, Chen Cheng feels that this method is a little inappropriate, but he can't think of anything wrong, so there is no way to stop the bald head from giving such an order, although the bald head is suspicious and stingy, he is also a little conceited.
Not to mention the bald head and his army, Lu Qiang received a telegram from Chongqing before, and when he saw the content on it, he was a little funny, and he actually thought of buying weapons and equipment from him, but Lu Qiang refused without hesitation. Since I have already supported the Red Party, don't think about scraping the People's Party, besides, I want to reunify the country, and I don't want to reap the benefits of the fisherman. So you still obediently fail, let the country out, hello, I'm good, everyone is good.
"Hey, Lynx, increase support for Yan'an, let the Red Party get rid of the bald head as soon as possible, and complete the unification of the country." Lu Qiang stretched out his head and shouted to the bobcats not far away, his voice was not small, and many people heard it, but they didn't care, because they all knew about it.
"Do you want to increase it?" The Lynx was a little unhappy, feeling that the boss took too good care of the Red Party.
"Isn't it good to increase and let the country unify early?" Lu Qiang said.
"Okay, okay, increase it, you are the boss, listen to you." Although he was a little unhappy, he still carried out very obediently, and suddenly asked, "By the way, what is it good to support them?" ”
"That's it...... Pull a batch of Type 62 over to them. Lu Qiang thought about it and said. (To be continued.) )
