In the following days, Song Zhewu was busy inspecting the reorganization and training of the troops, and his feet did not touch the ground.

Time blink of an eye on March 3, this day received a telegram from Bai Chongxi, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in North China, forwarded by Shang Zhen. Bai Chongxi said in a telegram that he would not say that he would lead the 53rd Division south to buy a batch of military rations, and hoped that Song Zhewu would send flour to Handan, and his troops would take it with them when they passed through Handan.

Song Zhewu felt a little headache about this telegram for two main reasons: First, he knew that in the original history, Bai Chongxi left Beiping by himself, boarded a ship from Tanggu, and wanted to return to Guangxi via Shanghai, but was almost intercepted by a warship sent by Chiang Kai-shek at sea near Shanghai, and finally went to Vietnam via Yueben, and then returned to Guangxi. But now Bai Chongxi actually wants to take Liao Lei's 53rd Division back to Wuhan by rail. He didn't know if it was because of the wings instigated by his "butterfly" that worked. If this is the case, the advantage of his knowledge of history will be lost, and it is very questionable whether he can still fight these elites of the Republic of China. With his current ability to handle things and his scheming skills, he is by no means an opponent of Chiang Kai-shek, nor even an opponent of Yan Xishan, but only relies on his foresight of the direction of history. Second, do you give Bai Chongxi military rations? If it is given, it will be blamed on Chiang Kai-shek; If you don't give it, you will have a grudge against the Gui family. During the Anti-Japanese War, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were both [***] generals, if they gave him small shoes to wear, it was definitely knowing that the shoes were small, and they had to wear them. Moreover, Song Zhewu knew that Han Fuyu's death had an absolute relationship with Li Zongren.

In fact, Song Zhewu didn't know that in the original history, Bai Chongxi just wanted to take the 53rd Division south, but in the end he couldn't achieve it. Song Zhewu thought about it and decided to forward this telegram to Nanjing. Nanjing quickly telegraphed back, asking him to promise Bai Chongxi that the grain could be transported to Handan first.

Nanjing's reply made Song Zhewu and Xiao Guodong dumbfounded, Xiao Guodong thought for a while and said to Song Zhewu: "Nanjing is about to make a move against Bai Chongxi and Wuhan in Hebei, and food will never be given to Bai Chongxi, so that he can return to Wuhan smoothly." You also said earlier that Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing wanted a division to be stationed in Handan, just to prevent Bai Chongxi from moving south along the Longhai Road, and the Central Army was stationed in Xuzhou on the Jinpu Road, so he must have taken strict precautions. This food will not be given to him, and it is estimated that it will still paralyze Bai Chongxi.

Song Zhewu has always been worried that his appearance may have changed history, but now it has changed very little, and it has not yet had a significant impact on history. These bits and pieces of change may be slowly accumulating quantities, and when this quantity reaches a critical point, a strong thermonuclear reaction will suddenly occur like a nuclear reaction, and a qualitative change will occur.

In real history, Bai Chongxi boarded a ship in Tanggu on March 20 and left Hebei, and when the ship passed through Shanghai, he was almost intercepted by a warship sent by Chiang Kai-shek at sea. Song Zhewu didn't dare to guarantee that his appearance did not change this period of history, and Bai Chongxi definitely could not disappear into the long river of history here and at this time. To be on the safe side, he had to remind Bai Chongxi, and even help him when necessary.

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, Song Zhewu called Ye Changgui, who was the junior disciple of Bai Chongguang, the captain of Bai Chongxi's guard. After a careful explanation, Ye Changgui took a platoon of members of the special brigade and followed more than a dozen trucks from the quartermaster department of the military headquarters to Beiping.

That night, in Bai Chongxi's mansion in Beiping, Bai Chongxi, who had just sent off Fang Zhenwu, the commander-in-chief of the 6th Route Army, was standing in front of the window of the study on the second floor, frowning and pondering. Fang Zhenwu, who had just left, brought him a shocking news: the 54th Division (on November 24, 1928, the 30th Army and the incorporated Su Yinsen Division were merged and reduced to the 11th Division of the Fourth Group Army, and on January 20, 1929, it was changed to the 54th Division according to the order of the central number. Wang Zemin, general staff member of the Fourth Group Army, was the division commander, and Liu Fengchi was the deputy division commander. In order not to confuse the numbers of the various ministries, the following are all referred to as the numbers of the National Political Axe on January 20, 1929. Hao Mengling, commander of the 161st Brigade, Xue Yubin, commander of the 162nd Brigade, Wen Jie, commander of the 16th O Brigade, and others conspired to kidnap him and hand him over to Chiang Kai-shek.

Bai Chongxi now regrets that he and his boss Li Zongren have made a mistake, a huge mistake. They shouldn't have pulled the Gui forces so long, from the southernmost Liangguang to Hebei. It seems that it controls the land of five provinces, with hundreds of thousands of male soldiers in front of it, and Liangguang has strong financial resources as the back-up, and it is majestic, and its strength is close to the Nanjing political axe controlled by Lao Jiang in Nanjing. But in fact, there is one of the biggest flaws, that is, the strength is too scattered, although the whole is very strong, it is weak everywhere. Taking North China as an example, he now has under his jurisdiction the 12th Division with Zhang Dingfan as the division commander, Li Pinxian as the division commander the 51st Division, Liao Lei as the division commander of the 53rd Division, and the 4th Group Army General Staff Wang Zemin as the division commander, with 4 divisions and 100,000 people. This is Yan Xishan's territory, and it cannot be raised on the spot. Since the end of last year, the Nanjing side has delayed in every possible way and has not provided food and wages, and Guangdong has provided all the expenses required for the troops. Lao Jiang really wants to do something, as long as he blocks the sea route, he can completely cut off the financial resources of the troops, and if no one else does it, the troops will be in chaos. If he had stopped in Hunan and Hubei at that time, hundreds of thousands of hedgehogs had gathered together, and there were two Guangxi behind him to provide strong reinforcements, he believed that Lao Jiang, who was bent on cutting down the domain, would never dare to take the Gui system first.

The strength of the Gui family, the Northwest Army, and the Jin Sui Army has its own strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages. The Gui family has strong soldiers and wealth, and its comprehensive strength is the strongest of the three, but now the troops are scattered and have become the weakest; The Northwest Army has the largest number of troops, and it can even be said that it has the strongest combat effectiveness, but it has the weakest financial resources. In addition to Shandong and Henan, Shaanxi and Gansu are all poor and bitter cold lands, and there is no surplus food and salary to replenish at all, and even Henan can only be self-sufficient. Without the food and wages of Nanjing, the Northwest Army would hardly be able to feed his 400,000 men; The Jin Sui Army could not compare with the two Guangxi in terms of financial strength, and the soldiers could not compare with the Northwest Army, even Bai Chongxi also looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Jin Sui Army. During the Second Northern Expedition, if he hadn't personally led Ye Qi's troops to rush thousands of miles to help, Yan Baichuan would definitely not have been able to occupy Hebei. But the advantage of the Jin Sui army is in the geographical advantage, not only Shanxi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but even the provinces occupied are also around Shanxi, and they will retreat back to Shanxi as soon as there is a situation. In Bai Chongxi's view, it is extremely difficult for any domestic force to attack Shanxi without half a year and huge casualties. Back then, with the strong combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army, and fierce generals like Han Fuyu, they all collapsed at the south entrance.

The senior generals of the Gui family were dismissive of Chiang Kai-shek's military prowess and were very dissatisfied with his occupation of the throne of the Military Council, believing that this position should be occupied by their boss Li Zongren. If it weren't for the Gui Department's Seventh Army, Tang Shengzhi's Eighth Army and Li Jishen's Fourth Army during the Northern Expedition, which fought a series of bloody battles, went down to Wuhan to fight Nanchang, and broke the main forces of Sun Chuanfang and Wu Peifu, the Northern Expedition would not have been completed so smoothly. On the other hand, Chiang Kai-shek's First Army, except for He Yingqin, who led the First Army to fight in Fujian, the other troops commanded by Chiang Kai-shek were lackluster. Wang Boling's first division was even defeated by Sun Chuanfang under the city of Nanchang and fled. The generals of the Gui family all believed that Lao Chiang's command ability was only enough to be a company and battalion commander, and Bai Chongxi also believed that Chiang Kai-shek was at most a regiment commander in terms of tactics. But none of these people saw Chiang Kai-shek's brilliant strategic vision and extraordinary political strategy. He admires Lao Jiang more and more now!

However, such characters hate their Gui family to the core, and Lao Jiang has a grudge against him and Li Zongren for "forcing them to go into the wilderness; Indulge in the hatred of your subordinates. ”

The more he thought about it, the more irritated Bai Chongxi became, walked to his desk, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath!
