Chapter 322: The Great War in the Central Plains (3)
Zhao Pilian then said with some feelings: "This Sun Dianying is really good, with his banditry troops, under the siege of tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Central Army, he insisted on holding on to Haozhou for two months, even Baigong is very surprised!" Now he regretted that he didn't pull Sun Dianying over before Feng Yuxiang. ”
Song Zhewu nodded in agreement and said: "Don't talk about Baigong before the war, everyone didn't expect that Sun Dianying's troops would be very strong in combat, and it was really not easy for the Central Army to hold on to it in the siege of the Central Army for two months." The strategic location of Haozhou is important, as long as Sun Dianying can hold on to Haozhou, the strategic initiative is in our hands. And if the Central Army does not pull out Sun Dianying of Haozhou for a moment, they will not dare to let go north for a moment. Therefore, Chairman Chiang seemed to be stubborn, so he began to think of other methods. ”
"yes!" Zhao Pilian agreed.
"But this Feng Yuxiang is also very discerning, I heard Baigong say that Sun Dianying was trapped in the lonely city for two months, and Feng Yuxiang was also very difficult to supply ammunition for his own Northwest Army, and even used his plane to airdrop ammunition to Sun Dianying several times."
Song Zhewu knew about Feng Yuxiang's airplane dropping supplies and ammunition to Sun Dianying, because the airfield of the Northwest Army Air Force was located on the outskirts of Zhengzhou.
Feng Yuxiang now has 14 planes, two of which are old planes captured by the Northeast Army during the Zhifeng War, and were incorporated by Yan Xishan when Feng Yuxiang went abroad in the wilderness. When Feng Yuxiang swore in Wuyuan, Yan Xishan reluctantly returned the plane and personnel to Feng Yuxiang in order to have a good relationship with Feng Yuxiang. The other twelve were purchased by Feng Yuxiang for the Northwest Army when he was the Minister of Military Affairs in Nanjing. Although he was in office for a short time, the matter was not delayed.
Just from the point that Feng Yuxiang tried his best to support Sun Dianying, Feng Yuxiang's vision and mind in military strategy were a grade higher than Yan Xishan, and Feng Yuxiang did not give up Sun Dianying easily because Sun Dianying had just joined him. Of course, it is also very likely that Feng Yuxiang fully realized the important strategic position of Haozhou, so he did not abandon Sun Dianying, but that's it, Feng Yuxiang did not give up Sun Dianying and proceeded from the overall situation.
Several people were commenting on Sun Dianying, and Wang Xu's confidential secretary sent in another telegram, and Wang Xu was slightly surprised and said to Song Zhewu: "This is Yan ...... A telegram sent by the commander-in-chief to Feng Yuxiang. ”
Wang Xu almost blurted out Yan Xishan, but suddenly realized that Zhao Pilian was present, and forcibly changed Yan Xishan to Commander-in-Chief Yan.
"Commander-in-Chief Yan told Feng Yuxiang that Chiang Kai-shek had just called Sun Dianying, saying that he was willing to send 200,000 oceans and asked Sun Dianying to ensure Zhang Fang's safety."
The reason why Wang Xu was surprised was because he did not expect that the Central Army would be able to decipher Feng Yuxiang's telegram in such a short period of time, and Yan Xishan also quickly knew about it, which showed that both Nanjing and Yan Xishan had a strong ability to decipher, and his intelligence bureau would have to be more cautious and work hard in the secrecy and decipherment of communications in the future.
Not only was Wang Xu a little surprised, but Zhao Pilian was even more surprised, he looked at Song Zhewu's surprised expression and asked, "Wen Ge, are you ...... Can we also decipher the code? ”
As soon as Zhao Pilian spoke, he remembered the first telegram, Feng Yuxiang called Sun Dianying, which would never be reported to Song Zhewu, and that one was deciphered by Song Zhewu's people. He had long thought that Song Zhewu was very scheming, but he never expected that Song Zhewu would do this quietly.
You must know that at this time, China can decipher the other party's telegram, which is absolutely high-tech, and it is normal for Zhao Pilian to be surprised.
Song Zhewu looked at Zhao Pilian, who was looking at him with suspicious eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhiqing, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang studied radio communication in Germany, and he has always been very interested in deciphering telegrams. ”
Zhao Pilian could hear that Song Zhewu meant to say, 'The Fourth Route Army's decipherment of the telegram was completely done by Wang Xuxing, not by him Song Zhewu. ’
Of course Zhao Pilian will not take Song Zhewu's understatement seriously, but he also knows that he should say that he can't be regarded as a real member of the Fourth Route Army now, let alone Song Zhewu's henchman, Song Zhewu said this, he understands it very well.
It's just that Zhao Pilian secretly mourns for Yan Xishan in his heart. Although Yan Xishan didn't say much to him about his purpose of accepting Song Zhewu, Zhao Pilian could feel that Yan Xishan regarded Song Zhewu as Xu Yongchang's second in his heart, at least Song Zhewu's troops were regarded as Xu Yongchang's troops who had been completely integrated into the Jin Sui army. But now it seems that Song Zhewu is by no means an easy person, and Yan Xishan has lost his eyes this time.
It's just that when he thought of what Yan Xishan had done to him, Zhao Pilian was faintly glad that he had arrived with Song Zhewu early, and it should not be possible to suffer losses if he followed such a person. However, after all, Zhao Pilian has followed Yan Xishan for many years, and he still has a lot of feelings for Yan Xishan, so he can't help but sigh secretly.
Zhao Pilian's expression, Song Zhewu saw it in his eyes, smiled slightly and said: "It's not a big deal to be able to decipher the other party's message, I am also out of prudence, I am okay to say it myself, but I now have hundreds of thousands of brothers, I don't want to be sold and I don't know it, I am responsible for all the people who follow me Song Zhewu." Moreover, now not only me, but also Nanjing and Commander-in-Chief Yan can decipher each other's messages. ”
Zhao Pilian nodded and said: "Wen Ge is right, since I have fallen here, my family will not speak two words, I am very happy that we are not inferior to others......"
Before Zhao Pilian's words were finished, Wang Xu's confidential secretary sent in another telegram, which was sent by Feng Yuxiang to Sun Dianying again, and the content of the telegram was 'He is willing to give 300,000 oceans and insists on Zhang Fang's head. ’
Soon, Chiang Kai-shek offered another 400,000 yuan, and once again asked Sun Dianying to ensure Zhang Fang's safety. Feng Yuxiang immediately opened 500,000 again, and he had a posture that even if he was "bankrupt", he had to get Zhang Fang's head. But after Chiang Kai-shek offered Sun Dianying 600,000, Feng Yuxiang finally fell silent.
Zhao Pilian was still somewhat mentally prepared for being able to decipher the other party's telegram, after all, he had already known that the telecommunications room of the headquarters directly controlled by Yan Xishan's adjutant office had this ability. Even for Nanjing, Zhao Pilian thinks that it is normal, it is the central political axe, which has financial, material and human resources that are much higher than Yan Xishan.
However, he was deeply shocked that Song Zhewu also had such a timely and powerful ability, and it was definitely beyond the expectations of Yan Xishan and even everyone!
Zhao Pilian originally came to Song Zhewu because he was a little angry, and he was really unwilling to quit politics and go home to retire when he was just a young man. However, after Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang's fight for wealth, Zhao Pilian has decided that as long as Song Zhewu can really be different from those small warlords, but really wants to make a career, he will sincerely help Song Zhewu.
In fact, the person who was even more surprised than Zhao Pilian was Sun Dianying. Zhang Fang went to Haozhou to buy him and told him that as long as he promised to belong to the central government, he would give him 200,000 yuan first, and the chairman of Anhui Province would still be his. For such conditions, Sun Dianying is not unmoved, but Sun Dianying feels that it is a little too early to make a decision now. Although the anti-Chiang coalition army was not as good as Nanjing's political axe in terms of economic strength, it still had an advantage in military strength at least for now, and he wanted to give Zhang Fang a perfunctory look first, and wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision.
But what he never expected was that as soon as Zhang Fang arrived in his millizhou, and his ass was not yet hot, Feng Yuxiang knew, especially as soon as Feng Yuxiang's telegram asking Zhang Fang's head arrived, Chiang Kai-shek's telegram to protect Zhang Fang also arrived, and one after another, this is obviously that someone here is sending a message to Feng Yuxiang and Chiang Kai-shek! can know the content of the telegram in such a timely manner, it is definitely the people around him, and even his confidants.
Moreover, these people are definitely not alone, there must be a group of people, you must know that Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang are not in Maozhou, Feng Yuxiang is in Zhengzhou, hundreds of miles away, and it is not possible to contact without radio contact.
At this time, Sun Dianying was sitting in his headquarters with his mouth wide open, staring nervously at everyone who entered and exited his headquarters with suspicious eyes, and he was now full of suspicion about everyone around him.
At this moment, Zhang Fu was sitting leisurely in Sun Dianying's headquarters, sipping tea with Erlang's legs crossed.
When Sun Dianying showed him Feng Yuxiang's first telegram, Zhang Fang was really startled. Zhang Fang, who has been mixed in black and white in Henan and Shaanxi for many years, and Sun Dianying have known each other since their early years, but he knows that Sun Dianying and these people only have the ocean and gold bars in their eyes, and only money is their father, if he can exchange his Zhang Fang's head for money, Zhang Fang believes that Sun Dianying will never be polite to him.
But as soon as Chiang Kai-shek's telegram to protect him arrived, Zhang Fang completely put his heart in his stomach, he knew that Chiang Kai-shek really cared about his Zhang Fang, and he really knew the value of his Zhang Fang, and his head was not something that could be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of oceans Feng Yuxiang.
He had now used his connections in the Northwest Army to get in touch with Liang Guanying, Ji Hongchang, Lu Xiuwen, Li Xiaoting, Gao Ziju and other units of the Northwest Army, and Chiang Kai-shek had already given him the number of the 20th Route Army, and as soon as the time came, he could immediately raise an army of 100,000. For his baby, even if Chiang Kai-shek is asked to give one million, Chiang Kai-shek will not blink an eye.
Zhang Fang is now looking at the suspicious Sun Dianying with great interest, and at the same time secretly thinking in his heart how to put Sun Dianying together.
He knew that Sun Lianzhong had come to the rescue of Haozhou with five divisions, and he had to leave tonight. And before he left, even if Sun Dianying refused to return to the central government, the 200,000 banknotes issued by the central political axe he brought must be handed over to Sun Dianying, and he believed that Chiang Kai-shek, who learned the original situation, would not only not be heartbroken with the 200,000, but would also be very happy......
