Chapter 64: Attack on Wuhan (5)
As soon as Chiang Kai-shek spoke, Yang Yongtai knew that he had said too much today, and as soon as he was happy, he forgot his creed of being cautious in his words and deeds. As Chiang Kai-shek's chief staff, Yang Yongtai knew that although Chiang Kai-shek was still guarding against this Song Zhewu, he could see that the chairman of the committee had a good impression of Song Zhewu in his heart. Moreover, after Lin Wei's trip to Laiyuan, he always thought that this Song Zhewu was the person he had, and he said this about the newly baked commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army of the rebel army, but he offended Lin Wei. Although Lin Wei does not fight for power, he has the trust of the chairman, and it is not a good thing to offend him. Thinking of this, he not only peeked at Lin Wei. And Lin Wei looked like nothing had happened, just thinking about something quietly.
He Yingqin said with some puzzlement: "Chairman of the committee, He Jian's request for electricity is a good thing!" As long as he supports the central government's telegram, not only will Ye Qi's troops in Hunan be defeated and flee, but even the Gui army in Hubei will also be shaken in their morale, and the Second Route Army, which is conducive to economic support, will overcome Wuhan as soon as possible. ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Yang Yongtai again, and saw Yang Yongtai's thoughtful look, and his eyes moved to Lin Wei again.
Lin Wei knew that Chiang Kai-shek would not be so simple when he came to discuss with them, but He Yingqin had already expressed his attitude, and he was not good at putting forward different opinions. Although He Yingqin was not very well treated by Chiang Kai-shek, after all, he was the number two person in the Whampoa department, and he had no good fruit to eat if he offended himself, so he just said vaguely: "What General Chief He said makes sense." ”
Chiang Kai-shek was noncommittal and looked at Yang Yongtai again. Yang Yongtai thought for a while and said: "What Chief He said is right, as soon as He Jian is powered, Hu Zongduo, Tao Jun, Xia Wei and others in Hubei will immediately be in chaos. At that time, as soon as Li Mingrui and Yang Tenghui sent out another telegram to reverse Gui, the Gui system could not gain a foothold in Hubei. But in this way, Hu Zongduo, Tao Jun, Xia Wei and others will immediately flee to Guangxi with the remnants, and once they return to the old nest in Guangxi, there will be many obstacles to the central government's next military action to pull out the forces of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi in one fell swoop. I would like to see if He Jian should postpone the electrification period, or ask He Jian to move the troops to the front line of Yueyang, Changde, and Shimen, and block the road for the Hubei Gui troops to flee south, and then send the electricity. At the same time, he ordered Zhu Peide, commander-in-chief of the First Route Army of the rebel army, to speed up the march, rush to the above-mentioned areas as soon as possible, and strive to annihilate Hu Zongduo, Tao Jun, Xia Wei and others in Hunan. In this way, not only did they eliminate most of the main forces of the Gui faction, but Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi of the Gui faction did not have a single soldier outside Guangxi, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent central government to sweep away Guangxi. ”
Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's better to have Changqing's method!" Wei Wen, call He Jian back, asking him to turn on the power tomorrow night, and now the top priority is to ask him to drive the troops to the front line of Yueyang, Changde, and Shimen as soon as possible, and block the retreat of the Gui army. These armies are the main forces of the Gui system, and they are still very combative. You sent someone to tell Hu Zongduo, Tao Jun, and Xia Wei that as long as they power down to the field and hand over the troops, I, Jiang Zhongzheng, will never embarrass them. If they want to go abroad for investigation, I will fund them in the name of the central government, and when they come back in a year or two, I will still reuse their land. Then, he turned to He Yingqin: "Jingzhi, you send a telegram to Jingfu and ask him to speed up the march." ”
The two agreed to get up and leave, and Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, there is one more thing to find you." Although Han Fuyu stopped at Wusheng Pass, Wen Ge had already sent troops, and received a telegram from Li Mingrui in the afternoon that Wen Ge's troops had already arrived in Xiaogan at noon today, and exchanged fire with Yang Tenghui's troops. Before 13 o'clock, it took less than an hour to eat one of Yang Tenghui's balls. Yang Tenghui couldn't stand it anymore and asked Li Mingrui to send a telegram in advance. ”
He Yingqin was a little surprised: "The Fourth Route Army was still in Xinyang yesterday, and it will hit Xiaogan today?" That's more than 200 miles! Lin Wei said with a smile: "Wen Ge has more than 400 trucks with the army this time, and these vehicles are used for transportation in his factories, and almost all of them are brought by him. It's no problem to transport a few regiments at a time, I guess this is his vanguard fighting with Yang Tenghui. ”
He Yingqin nodded: "This Song Zhewu is so arrogant, if Jingfu also had so many trucks, Hu Zongnan's brigade would have gone up a long time ago." After thinking about it, he said: "Chairman of the committee, it seems that this Song Zhewu still sincerely obeys your orders, and those local powerful factions that we spent money to bring in are all just shouting and not doing anything." However, Song Zhewu traveled thousands of miles to attack the main division of the Gui Seventh Army with only the vanguard troops, which was really not easy, and the chairman of the committee should send a telegram to commend him as a sign of encouragement. Speaking of this, He Yingqin was suddenly in a daze, his vanguard could eat a main regiment of the Seventh Army, which had always been good at fighting, in less than an hour......
"Yes, Keiyuki is right. Respectfully, you will issue a commendation order in the name of the General Headquarters of the Rebel Army, so that those who wait and see and hesitate will see that the central government still has appeal. Chiang Kai-shek said approvingly.
At this time, Yan Daogang, the chief of the guard, sent the telegram he had just received and retreated.
Chiang Kai-shek's face was a little heavy after reading the telegram, and he stayed for a while, silently put the telegram on the desk in front of him, stood up and bypassed the desk, and slowly paced up in the center of the room with his hands behind his back. The three of them looked at each other, and as Chiang Kai-shek's confidants or subordinates for many years, they all knew that this was Chiang Kai-shek's habit, and that he would do this whenever he encountered something that made him uneasy.
"Let's look at the telegram first." Chiang Kai-shek said softly.
He Yingqin walked over and picked up the telegram first, and the three of them were also in a daze after reading it. The telegram was sent by Li Mingrui, to the effect that the Fourth Route Army had attacked fiercely and had eliminated one of Yang Tenghui's brigades an hour earlier. Yang Tenghui again asked to send a telegram in advance; Or ask the central government to order the Fourth Route Army to stop the attack.
All three of them were amazed at the combat effectiveness of Song Zhewu's Fourth Route Army! Song Zhewubu should have rushed to Xiaogan at noon and immediately ate one of Yang Tenghui's regiments. Although they didn't know the specific battle situation, they all thought that Song Zhewu must have taken Yang Tenghui by surprise, and Yang Tenghui lost that regiment. But to eliminate this brigade is a real knife and a real gun. In a few hours, they wiped out the troops of Li Zongren of the Gui family, the troops started by Bai Chongxi, and a brigade of the Seventh Army! Such a powerful combat power could not help but surprise them.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly and asked: "Wei Wen, you are more familiar with Wen Ge's troops, his troops are a little special, tell me how a division of his troops is formed." ”
