Everyone present immediately looked at Zhang Xuewu with bated breath, Zhang Xuewu nodded slightly with satisfaction and said: "It is planned that Xu Guohui, the new First Army Department of the First Army Department of our Rehe Legion, will follow the Zhanyang Suiyuan Garrison Division to advance to Suiyuan, and quickly take over all the affairs of the local military and political affairs in Suiyuan!" It is planned to cooperate with the Chahar garrison division of Hu Zhenglong's second division to advance to Chahar and take over the surrounding areas of Zhangjiakou, and the new third division of Zhao Xinyu's division immediately marches to Baotou and Duolun, and the teaching regiment, special service regiment, cavalry regiment, communication regiment, and stationed in Chengde directly under the corps, and the mechanical brigade will go to Chahan Aobao for training and reorganization, and the first and second regiments of the engineer regiment under the corps will transfer the strength of two regiments from the new second division and the third division, and cooperate with the first artillery brigade and the heavy mortar battalion of the corps headquarters. Together with 30,000 migrant workers, they went to Chaoyang to take over the defense, and replenished the materials and personnel needed for Chaoyang's newly built and strongest fortress group. ”

Zhang Xuewu originally thought that the army of 100,000 was already overwhelming, but he didn't expect that his troops would be a little stretched when he was released? Helplessly, time waits for no one! Chiang Kai-shek allowed Zhang Xuewu to raise funds to go to Germany with the Central Negotiation Delegation to buy some weapons, which Zhang Xuewu was very happy about, but also very sad, happy that the source of weapons and equipment has been guaranteed, and the sad thing is that once these weapons and equipment are damaged, they will completely climb the nest? The domestic maintenance of precision-made German weapons only stopped at the level of rifles.

And there is another point, that is, the high cost of German weapons makes Zhang Xuewu daunting, the Soviet machinery can be said to be the most attractive to Zhang Xuewu in front of him, but how to establish an effective way of communication with the Soviet Union is the most difficult thing for Zhang Xuewu, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Soviet Union did provide a certain amount of assistance to China's frontal battlefield, although these aids were at a cost, but for China at that time, it was already a relief in the snow, but this so-called assistance also stopped at the "Soviet Union Friendship and Non-Aggression Pact".

Another point, Zhang Xuewu is very able to grasp the pulse of polar bears' greed, that is, it is very difficult for you to ask them to help them for free, but if you buy it with real money, it will be very easy.

However, in order to get in touch with the Soviet side, it is necessary to take the vital Suiyuan, Zhang Xuewu sent Ye Yunfei to the Suiyuan garrison division to Zhanyang as a deputy in the name of the senior staff of the corps, but the military rank is still maintained in the rank of lieutenant colonel, Zhang Xuewu's principle is that he will never open the door to the fortunate entry, Zhanyang's exceptional promotion is because he once acted as the deputy of the regiment in the bloody battle of Chengde, and the department still does not retreat until 17 people, tenaciously resisting the enemy, in Zhang Xuewu's Rehe Legion, there is no such thing as taking the elevator without the slightest merit.

On 12 June, Zhang Xuewu was officially listed in the appeasement office in Chengde, and the headquarters of the new first division and the headquarters of the Suiyuan garrison division that went to Suiyuan also encountered some troubles, that is, the three divisions of Yang Aiyuan's 34th Army under the Jin army totaled more than 20,000 people in various parts of Suiyuan, and the county magistrate sent by the Jin army was driven away by the Central Army of the Rehe Army, but as soon as Zhang Xuewu's troops left, the local strong and inferior gentry relied on Yang Aiyuan's support and drove the new county magistrate away, so the two sides calmly played a tug-of-war for more than ten days, and they were both amiable and calm on the surface. In private, I can't wait to bombard it!

However, without the instructions of the Chengde Army Department, no one dared to directly attack the friendly army, whether it was Xu Guohui or Zhanyang, who was bold, and knew that the Jin army was also 200,000 horses! Especially now that the Rehe Legion has no shortage of weapons and ammunition, and the mechanized brigade and artillery brigade are basically empty shells, there is a suspicion of a gas civil war if they rashly make a big move!

Zhang Xuewu estimated that Yan Xishan must have eaten it and didn't dare to make a big move, so he deliberately played a scoundrel with himself! But today is the day to clear the dark clouds, and Lao Tzu's appeasement office is finally listed! Therefore, Zhang Xuewu couldn't wait to send a telegram to Xu Guohui, Zhanyang, and Ye Yunfei, asking them to punish the headquarters of the 34th Army who deliberately picked quarrels and provoked troubles in the local area in the name of the central government's righteousness.

Zhang Xuewu's purpose is to punish the first part of the 34th Army, so that Yang Aiyuan knows that he knows how powerful he is, and he is not playing with him with red mouth and white teeth, and Zhang Xuewu knows in his heart that Yang Aiyuan is a thoughtful person, and being suspicious and cautious is his advantage, so to deal with such a person, you have to give him some earth-shattering thunderbolts and make him stammer! In other words, Yang Aiyuan can't come soft, so he has to come with something hard, so he has a lot of worries and dare not do it.

That night, Zhang Xuewu hummed a little song and poured himself a drink, which attracted Hao Wenbin and Li Songtao, a few glasses of wine, Zhang Xuewu exhaled a long breath and said: "The appeasement office has finally set up a sign, Lao Tzu look at what he Yan Laoxi is still playing with me, it is long time to teach Yang Aiyuan of the 34th Army a lesson, how much trouble has it caused Lao Tzu?" ”

As soon as Zhang Xuewu's words came out, Hao Wenbin and Li Songtao were suddenly dumbfounded, and Li Songtao didn't even know that the beef he picked up had fallen? Hurriedly surprised, he asked, "Commander! What does the listing of the Pacification Office have to do with your lesson to Yang Aiyuan's 34th Army? Or is it a necessary connection? ”

Hao Wenbin also put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Zhang Xuewu intently, Zhang Xuewu was a little surprised and said: "Lao Tzu's appeasement office has hung a sign, this is righteousness!" What does appeasement mean by the Pacification Office? Suiyuan is Suiyuan! Jing is appeasement! Lao Tzu has the righteousness given by the central political axe of Nanjing, I can't crush Yan Laoxi, this bastard, but how much trouble have I caused? Otherwise, Lao Tzu's arsenal would have been erected by now! ”

Yes? Hao Wenbin and Li Songtao looked at each other, and said almost in unison: "My legion leader! Are you sure you're not scaring us? ”

Zhang Xuewu was a little confused: "What did I scare you?" Isn't that right? What I have to do now is to give Yang Aiyuan a little bit of power! Give him a good time to chase the poor! ”

Li Songtao, who was full of grief and indignation, glared at Zhang Xuewu fiercely: "My legion is a big man!" Who explained to you that the appeasement office is in charge of Suiyuan? The term appeasement has been used in China since ancient times, and originally meant to pacify and maintain local peace. So what is the appeasement office in Beiping? What is the appeasement office in Taiyuan? What does Chahar's appeasement office mean? This appeasement is by no means the appeasement you are talking about, the commander of the legion, you are arguing with words! Although Nanjing has already informed you, the formal procedure is to be promulgated by the Executive Yuan, and this process can be as little as two or three months, or as long as half a year, so you need to wait patiently! You're in too much of a hurry! If you are in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu, and it's easy to burn your mouth! ”

Yes! This time it was Zhang Xuewu's turn to be dumbfounded, Zhang Xuewu is a person of later generations after all, he does not know much about the so-called appeasement office, only knows that in the early years of the Republic of China, the central government set up an administrative agency in order to strengthen local control, and later overlapped with the functions of the provincial party department, Zhang Xuewu of the appeasement office in Beiping thought that Zhang Xueliang controlled the eight provinces of Liao, Ji, Hei, Jin, Cha, Re, Sui, and Lu, although he resigned as deputy commander-in-chief, the responsibility of controlling the eight provinces did not step down, so the appeasement office is naturally easy to explain! I didn't expect that after a long time, my own appeasement office and Suiyuan are not next to each other?

Zhang Xuewu's cold sweat also slipped down his forehead, and Li Songtao was surprised when he saw this: "Commander! Shouldn't you take a telegram to Suiyuan to let Xu Guohui and Zhanyang act? ”

Zhang Xuewu nodded helplessly, and Hao Wenbin immediately got up and said, "I'll go and shoot an urgent telegram to stop their reckless behavior!" ”

Li Songtao, who was a little helpless, waved his hand, sighed slightly, and said: "If it weren't for Ye Yunfei, with Xu Guohui and Zhanyang's temper, I'm afraid they would have done it a long time ago, this time they finally have the Shang Fang Sword of the corps commander, I'm afraid no one can stop it, and it's already 21 o'clock in the evening, I'm afraid that the operation over there has already begun, if we forcibly interfere, it will affect the commander's determination, and we will be more passive in case the action fails, so we might as well think about how to deal with the aftermath." ”

Zhang Xuewu nodded with satisfaction to Li Songtao and said: "Indeed, what Songtao said is extremely true, Deputy Commander Hao, you immediately go to the corps combat headquarters, order the teaching regiment, special service regiment, cavalry regiment, and communication regiment stationed in Rehe to prepare quickly, and assemble in the direction of Suiyuan immediately after dawn, and order the new Second Division Wang Chuang to transfer two regiments from Zhangjiakou to Suiyuan, and order Zhao Xinyu's new Third Division to transfer two regiments to Suiyuan, and the external caliber is all exercises!" ”

In the dark of the night, the officers and men of the seven regiments of the new first division all advanced lightly, and because it was the last quarter of the moon, they could hardly reach out and lose their fingers, so everyone had a new white towel tied to their waists behind their backs, and the direction of Xu Guohui's attack was Tuchengzi on the west side of Bailing Temple, where Yang Aiyuan's 34th Army and the 130th Division headquarters were located.

And Zhanyang's Suiyuan Garrison Division divided into two routes and went straight to Yang Aiyuan's other two divisions, and the cavalry battalion of the Suiyuan Garrison Division rushed to attack the 34th Army Artillery Battalion in Dameadowzi! Zhanyang's cavalry battalion is said to be a battalion, but in fact, it has been expanded many times, and the beautiful girls on the grassland are far less than the men on horseback, so Zhanyang's cavalry battalion has more than 780 people, which is almost equal to the number of cavalry regiments directly under Zhang Xuewu's legion.

The plan formulated by Xu Guohui and Zhanyang was to take Yang Aiyuan's 34th Army with a thunderous momentum, 35,000 people eat 20,000 people, and they are prepared to attack unprepared, and the odds of victory are very high, and they all took a fancy to the 16 75 mountain guns imported from Italy in Yang Aiyuan's artillery battalion, plus the uneducated Commander Zhang gave him courage, so Yang Aiyuan's 34th Army was destined to experience an earth-shattering catastrophe.
