Eighty-two fuses II
"It seems that Wu Peifu's so-called encirclement and suppression in northern Shaanxi is simply a false shot." After listening to Sun Yuanliang's report, Luo Yaoguo said lightly: "However, the performance of GCD does not seem to be satisfactory, and it seems that they have a long way to go to become a real revolutionary army." ”
The new army in the northwest had the upper hand in the contest with the Zhensong army, and this group of local armed forces from Henan was not strong in combat and was unpopular in Shaanxi, so they were defeated by the troops commanded by Deng Yanda, Ye Ting, and Yang Huchen, and became the captain of the transportation brigade. In mid-July, two cavalry brigades commanded by Ma Fuxiang and Ma Buqing (Ma Qi's son) invaded Yulin, and Jing Yuexiu defended the city to avoid the battle and resisted passively, and the responsibility for the battle was put on the Zhu D Department who arrived from Yan'an at night. On July 23, Zhu D commanded the Third Division and the cavalry brigades of Ma Fuxiang and Ma Buqing to fight a big battle on the banks of the Yulin River. That night, the Mongolian tribes who supported Ma Fuxiang sent a large number of reinforcements, and Ma Fuxiang and Ma Buqingci, who were superior in numbers, organized troops to storm the positions of the new army in the northwest, and the two sides fought hard and finally said that the new army repelled dozens of attacks by the Ma cavalry, killing thousands of enemies and capturing hundreds of horses, but they also suffered certain losses. On July 25, Jing Yuexiu came forward to persuade peace through the Grand Lama of Wushenqi, Zamusa, and General Zhu D agreed to negotiate peace out of consideration of national unity, and finally the battle of Yulin River ended in a draw between the two sides.
"According to the report of the Northwest New Army, in the first battle of Yulin River, a part of the ** cavalry performed very prominently, fought tenaciously, and was not afraid of death, which caused a lot of trouble to the Third Division of the New Army." Speaking of this, Sun Yuanliang's tone also seemed to be a little worried. Although the cooperation between the two parties in this time and space is not very close, at the same time, the contradictions between the two sides are much smaller, and most Kuomintang people still regard the GCD as an ally and the Northwest New Army as a friendly army.
"Yes, that's Tsing Ma's troops." Luo Yaoguo didn't worry when he thought of Wang Zijiu, Qingma was a warlord group with very strong combat effectiveness in another time and space, and it once defeated the Red Army's Western Route Army to annihilation.
"So it's difficult for the Northwest New Army to complete the plan to occupy Suiyuan?"
"It's okay, Ma Fuxiang is a Ningma, and their combat effectiveness is very average." Luo Yaoguo thought for a while and asked, "Yuan Liang, have you been in contact with General De Ying (Sun Zhen)?" ”
"My uncle and I have been in correspondence for a long time, and he is very concerned about the health of the prime minister." Sun Yuanliang quietly wanted to trap Luo Yaoguo's words, and with Sun Yuanliang's cleverness, he naturally saw that it was abnormal.
Luo Yaoguo glanced at Sun Yuanliang coldly and said: "When you see the prime minister, it will naturally be clear, but the prime minister's health is a military secret, and it is not allowed to leak anything, do you know?" ”
"What the students understand is that the news of the prime minister's critical illness has a great impact on the banknotes of the central bank." Speaking of this, Sun Yuanliang's eyes flashed with golden light, as if he had seen the appearance of a large ocean of money.
From the 24th anniversary of the Kuomintang's central bank, the central bank of the Nationalist Republic began to issue a paper currency called legal tender in its own "Xunzheng District", which was guaranteed by customs duties, salt taxes, and commercial taxes in the Xunzheng District, but did not prohibit the circulation of silver dollars. This chaotic monetary management method was also a major feature of China at that time, when the Beiyang political axe government office of the Central Bank and the Jiaotong Bank issued paper money, and the warlords also issued paper money, copper dollars, silver dollars and other currencies on their own territory. The more famous ones are the official silver numbers of the three eastern provinces. Naturally, the national political axe will not let go of such a lucrative financial route, and now in the "training and administrative areas" of the five provinces, the only paper money issued by the Chinese side that can be circulated is legal tender. However, with the news that Mr. Nakayama was critically ill, the exchange rate of fiat currency to silver dollar and Hong Kong dollar fell by 30% overnight! But if the news that Mr. Nakayama is critically ill is false......
After listening to Sun Yuanliang's words, Luo Yaoguo felt that this handsome guy was too capable, this guy was not incapable, but this tendon was not in fighting a war but in doing business. Luo Yaoguo immediately put on a smiling face and said: "Yuan Liang, you are really my best student, this fiat currency fall is not right, we should make more contributions to financial stability, and when you arrive in Guiyang, you will take these silver tickets to eat fiat currency and buy them all!" ”
The silver ticket was accepted by the president of the Yucheng Chamber of Commerce crying and begging Luo Yaoguo, if you don't accept the old man, you will be killed by a head-on, hehe, if you don't collect the money, doesn't that mean that you are going to plunder! This is an unspoken rule, when the soldiers enter the city, the local gentry and wealthy businessmen organize the common people to beat gongs and drums and wave small flags to welcome, and then send a large amount of "condolences", and then organize a farewell for the soldiers, and at the same time offer a "pull fee", do not want money, one is too little, the other is to loot.
On August 5, 1924, a small car full of dust drove into the military commission's residence at the agricultural and forestry experimental field outside Guangzhou. Sitting in the car was Luo Yaoguo, deputy chief of the general staff of the National Revolutionary Army, who had just arrived in Guangzhou and had not yet returned home, so he immediately went to the Central Military Commission to explain his tasks and learn about the major events in the world during this period.
According to the plan drawn up in advance by the General Staff, the battle into Sichuan was just as false as Wu Peifu's encirclement and suppression in northern Shaanxi, but the Kuomintang obviously gained more.
"Fuwen, you're back just in time." As soon as Chiang Kai-shek saw Luo Yaoguo, who was in the dust, he asked him about the situation of the Battle of Qijiang, although he had already read the battle report, but he still planned to ask in person: "Fuwen, you sit down and tell me slowly about the situation of the Battle of Qijiang, you must be detailed." ”
"The principal wants to understand the lessons of the first battle of Qijiang, right?" Luo Yaoguo smiled and said: "Compared with Yuan Zuming's Guizhou army, our Guangxi troops do have an overwhelming advantage, and with the cooperation of superior firepower, the first wave of charges completely crushed the defense of the Guizhou army. However, there are also many noteworthy points for us in this battle, first of all, the artillery that can be used accurately plays a key role in the victory or defeat of the battle, and we should pay attention to this when we engage direct troops who also have a certain number of artillery in the future. This time, the trenches of the Qianjun army were sloppy, there were no anti-artillery fortifications at all, and their machine gun fire points were too obvious. In addition, the timely transfer of machine guns is also very important, and we should also pay attention to this in the future, when engaging an opponent with a large number of mortars, one machine gun cannot fire more than 50 rounds in a row, and it is necessary to transfer positions in time, so it is better to deploy several fire points at the same time and fire in turns...... In this battle, the assault tactics of our submachine gun group were very effective, and the charge led by more than 1,000 assault troops using submachine guns captured three positions at one time, completely smashing the defense of the Guizhou army. If you want to defend against such a dense submachine gun assault, the advice of the post is to use a combination of machine guns and mortars. Block the enemy with machine guns and annihilate the enemy with intensive mortar bombardment. ”
"Well, now the Northern Army has not yet begun to equip itself with submachine guns in large quantities, and we are ahead of them in this regard. However, we do not have an advantage in artillery, and most of the Central Army divisions in Beiyang are attached to artillery regiments, and the local armies depend on the situation, but it is difficult to encounter backwardly equipped troops like the Sichuan and Guizhou armies. According to our intelligence, there will be a war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang next month. This is the best time for us and the Feng Department to overthrow the rule of the direct system, and you, Jiansheng, Sihua, and Jingzhi will all go into battle, especially you. Okay, you go back and rest first, and the prime minister will invite us to dinner in Qinglu in Baiyun Mountain in the evening. As he spoke, Lao Jiang took out a beautiful invitation card from the drawer and handed it to Luo Yaoguo.
Qinglu is a villa built for Mr. Zhongshan on Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou after his illness, which is exclusively used by Mr. Zhongshan for recuperation, and after the villa is completed, Mr. Zhongshan named Qinglu after his wife Song Qingling.
On the evening of August 5, in a chic restaurant on the second floor of Qinglu, the legendary critically ill revolutionary leader was changing glasses with a group of henchmen with red faces, and he didn't look like he was going to die at all. It is obvious that this so-called critical illness must be a conspiracy of Chiang Kai-shek, uh, he is very good at playing intrigues.
"Kai-shek, Qu Tongfeng, the representative of the Anhui system, has come to my Qinglu every day for the past two days to ask to see, do you think I see it or not?" Mr. Nakayama asked as he sipped his tea. The doctor said that he can't drink alcohol now, and can only drink green tea with anti-cancer effects, so everyone will drink green tea together at today's banquet.
Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and said: "It's better not to see them, the prime minister wants to meet them, and they must send troops to Zhejiang." Zhejiang and Shanghai are so rich, we are bound to win. ”
"Uh, isn't that just the right time to send troops? By the way, the army of Zhelu was wiped out together? There are a lot of our comrades in the Zhejiang army, right? Mr. Nakayama smiled wickedly and made his own suggestion.
"Prime Minister Gao Ming!" As soon as Mr. Zhongshan's suggestion came out, Hu Hanmin, Chiang Kai-shek, Xu Chongzhi, and others who were present felt that it was feasible and expressed their support one after another.
"Fuwen, what do you think?" Mr. Zhongshan asked Luo Yaoguo, the only one who did not express his position.
Luo Yaoguo nodded slightly and said: "The Prime Minister's suggestion is good, but in this case, it is necessary to have a general who is familiar with the situation in Zhejiang and Shanghai, and is witty and decisive, to lead the troops to aid Zhejiang." Speaking of which, everyone turned their eyes to Chiang Kai-shek, as if only Lao Chiang was suitable to do such treacherous things, and besides, he was the head snake of Zhejiang and Shanghai.
"What does Kai-shek think?" Mr. Zhongshan asked Lao Jiang with a smile.
"The Chinese government will definitely hand over Zhejiang and Shanghai intact to the prime minister." Lao Jiang hurriedly stood up and respectfully accepted the leader's order.
