Chapter 144: Draw a ladder up the wall

Said that the army retreated? Zhang Xueliang, who was being interviewed in the war room of the Beiping Army Branch, was slightly surprised to take over the translation of the telegram, and several reporters on the side were also looking around, and He Yingqin, who was smoking on the balcony on the second floor, glanced at the almost idiot with disdain, and shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether he was annoyed that he had missed the fighter plane, or that he was angry that Zhang Xueliang had invited the reporter to the war room for an interview.

Although, Zhang Xueliang is no longer the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force of the Republic of China, but the chairman of the Beiping Military Branch is Jiang Zhongzheng in Nanjing, and the vice chairman Zhang Xueliang acts as the chairman.

He Yingqin hurriedly took a few puffs and extinguished the cigarette, then returned to the war room to make a color to the adjutant on the side, and the adjutant immediately invited a few eager reporters out very unceremoniously, although Zhang Xueliang's face was not too good-looking, but He Yingqin couldn't care so much.

He Yingqin didn't want to make a fuss about the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang held a combat meeting to divide the troops and deploy, and all the excitement and jokes published in the newspapers! Regarding Zhang Xueliang's dissatisfaction, He Yingqin had no choice but to say politely: "Han Qing! Some time ago, they didn't take less money from Guangzhou and poured dirty water on you, just a few things just now came to penetrate your words and news, maybe how to arrange you when you go back, and this group of people is mixed, many of them are using the money of Ben, Russia, Britain, the United States, France and Germany, and it is really unwise to let them enter the war room! ”

Zhang Xueliang snorted with his nose and said with some displeasure: "I know!" Minister Ho: If there is nothing else to do, let's have a meeting! ”

He Yingqin knew that his words were estimated to be playing the piano to the cow again, in fact, since the Battle of Rehe, He Yingqin was ordered to cooperate with Song Ziwen to be stationed in Beiping, and people with a discerning eye can see at a glance the intentions of Nanjing, and the Chinese will leave behind the so-called "killing", "rising and descending secretly", "leading from the west to the east", "killing three soldiers with two peaches", and so on, especially after the defeat of Rehe, Zhang Xueliang once had a crisis in the wilderness, so it is normal for Zhang Xueliang not to wait to see He Yingqin and others.

Zhang Xueliang must give Song Ziwen face, that is because he can't afford to offend the God of Wealth who controls the customs, but He Yingqin obviously does not have Song Ziwen's weight in Zhang Xueliang's eyes.

Before the participants arrived, Zhang Xueliang said with a gloomy face: "As a soldier, I don't know how to be punctual, do you want to make all the officers here wait?" Now don't let anyone in, reflect at the door, and after the meeting, go to the combat command to receive the battle order. ”

He Yingqin ignored Zhang Xueliang, who was putting on a show, and in his opinion, the problem could be solved by a telegram, but he wanted to summon the generals of the front line to Beiping? The farthest is a few hundred kilometers round trip? Do you know that the war situation is urgent? What's the point of playing with this trick of momentum? So many army commanders and division commanders are all military commanders of the troops, and they all go back to Beiping for a meeting. However, He Yingqin knew that he was not Zhang Xueliang, and he couldn't compare to this powerful prince, so he adjusted his mentality and listened quietly to see how Zhang Xueliang arranged his troops this time.

Zhang Xueliang looked around at the many generals attending the meeting and pointed out with a map with his baton that since the newly formed First Division attacked the field airfield in the western suburbs of Jinzhou and the Chaoyang logistics supply base of the Yue Army, our side has not been able to effectively reconnoiter whether the Chaoyang supply base of the Yue Army has been destroyed, nor can it determine how much ammunition and material reserves the Yue Army still has left, but this time the Yue Army is in a hurry to retreat along the Great Wall, which shows that they are making a false shot in an attempt to interfere with our army's deployment and decisive battle intentions!

"I command!" Zhang Xueliang took a deep breath and said: "All the armies along the Great Wall are all attacked, forming a parallel advance on the front, using the Duolun Sun Dianying's troops to attack the rear of the army, attacking and advancing in the direction of Chaoyang, and attacking Shanhaiguan with the two armies of He Zhuguo and Wang Yizhe, threatening the direction of Jinzhou. ”

After the meeting ended, Zhang Xueliang was a little radiant and said to Xuezhong: "This time I have made a great contribution to learning martial arts, you say that I should reward him?" ”

Yu Xuezhong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chengwen is the Central Army, how can we reward him?" Unless you do it from the perspective of family affection, it seems that it is easy to do bad things with good intentions, and today Wan Fulin and Tang Yulin are all moving around, and they all want to go to Rehe to be the emperor of the soil! ”

Zhang Xueliang's eyes glared and said, "Isn't he Wan Fulin ashamed?" He was the only one along the Great Wall who lost his troops and lost his generals, and he almost even gave the pass to himself, did he dare to lose some people? If Tang Erhu dares to come to me, I will reward him with a peanut first, investigate his crime of abandonment, and want to be the chairman of Rehe again? It's a dream! ”

Zhang Xueliang can be said to be unintentional, but He Yingqin on the side listens to the intention, indeed, the first thing after the end of the war is to redivide the sphere of influence, comfort the local reorganization of the army, adjust the ordnance and hoarding materials, review the mistakes of the previous war, and so on.

Rehe is one of the two gates of Pingjin, Shanhaiguan is easy to control, but this Chengde is difficult to defend, the most difficult to defend Chengde miraculously held, the blood of the Central Army can not be shed in vain! And before the war, He Yingqin approved Zhang Xuewu with how many weapons, ammunition and materials I am afraid that he can't remember clearly now, and it seems that there must be a return for the effort, this is an axiom!

He Yingqin quietly sent a telegram to Nanjing, making a detailed analysis of the situation in the entire Rehe, the current three divisions of the 17th Army Xu Tingyao can be described as full of combat effectiveness, not only took advantage of the new first division to supplement a large number of weapons and equipment when the lone army was trapped in Chengde, and even transferred 4,000 veterans from the front line of suppressing bandits to prepare for replenishment, but these veterans were detained by He Yingqin.

Because it is not the 17th Army that is currently hurting the bones, but the new first division in Chengde, the practical significance of the Nanjing Central Political Axe spending a lot of money to suppress bandits is to let the central army forces enter Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, in order to achieve the real political reunification of the whole [***] and let the local political axe pay taxes to the central government, it is necessary to hold the army and territory in the hands of the local factions, and there is no doubt that the new first division is like a nail nailed to Chengde this time.

Now that the war seems to have come to an end, who dares to pull out the nail of the new 1st Division? He Yingqin's only concern is that Zhang Xuewu is too young to hold the post of chairman of a province? And a division commander also seems to be weak and powerful? How can Rehe have to garrison a corps size, isn't it? Especially when the army was watching from the sidelines, how could he be so willing to give up when he hit his head and bleed in Chengde?

Therefore, the defense of Rehe must be handed over to a safe and reliable person, He Yingqin thought about it and couldn't think of any more suitable candidate than Zhang Xuewu?

This is a twenty-four-year-old feudal official? He Yingqin gasped, and felt a little sour in his heart for a while!
