Chapter 68: Before the War

After lunch, Chen Shao teased his daughter for a while, until Wang Jie came to inform him that the time for the meeting was almost up. Then he put on his military uniform and walked into the conference room.

At this time, everyone in the conference room knew the purpose of today's meeting, and everyone seemed very excited. Since the Liangguang War two years ago, there has been no major fighting in the KPA. When they learned that they were going to start expanding the chassis again, every commander and fighter was gearing up and wanted to do a good job and live up to the expectations of Chen Shao and the people.

After Chen Shao came in, he announced the meeting, and there was no nonsense, and he went straight to the point.

"I think everyone knows the purpose of this meeting, and I won't say more, the target of this meeting is the Yunnan and Hunan Guizhou systems in Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan. At this time, after nine years of development, our People's Army has become a multi-service composite force. Not only do we have our own navy and air force, but we also have an elite army that has been mechanized. In order to cope with the next battle, I announced a new round of expansion of the KPA Army, and this expansion will not recall retired soldiers.

All reservist army units were transferred to active duty, and the Janissaries Division was expanded into the Guards Army, which was expanded into four corps on the basis of the First and Second Armies.

I served as the Supreme Leader of the People's Army, Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armed Services and Commander of the First Army;

Jiang Baili served as the head of the War Department and concurrently served as the commander of the Second Army;

Cai Yi served as the deputy commander of the Third Army and the commander of the First Army;

Kong Wenhong served as the commander of the Third Army;

Chen Fuqin served as the commander of the Fourth Army;

Huang Bai served as the deputy commander of the Guards;

Bai Tao served as the commander of the 1st Guards Division;

Chide was appointed commander of the 2nd Guards Division;

Yu Xue served as the commander of the Third Division of the Guards;

Chen Gengpeng served as the commander of the First Division of the First Army;

Du Yuming served as the commander of the Second Division of the First Army;

Su Yusheng served as the commander of the First Division of the Second Army;

Xu Xiangqian served as the commander of the Second Division of the Second Army;

Chen Yi served as the commander of the First Division of the Third Army;

Hu Zongnan served as the commander of the Second Division of the Third Army;

Nie Fuzhen served as the commander of the First Division of the Fourth Army;

Wang Yunshan served as the commander of the heavy artillery division;

Special Forces Commander Wang Xiaoshan (Tiger);

Luo Rong, commander of the Airborne Division (not yet full);

……

Now the reserve corps needs to expand its scale, and on the original basis, the army size of the reserve corps will reach 25w people. And after this expansion, our active army will reach 25w people, and many of the first and second cohort positions will be greatly improved, and I hope they will live up to my expectations. ”

"Commander, aren't our armored divisions expanding? One more teacher! Liu Deshui saw that the infantry had expanded in size, but his armored division and artillery division did not move.

"Yes! Commander, we're going to expand a little bit! Wang Yunshan also said.

"You two think it's grocery shopping! Don't bargain with me, sooner or later you will have to expand, but not now. Don't worry, there will be your chance in the future. ”

Hearing Chen Shao's words, the two could only shrug helplessly and stopped talking.

"Commander, where do we start this time?" Jiang Baili.

"Take Yungui first and then go down to Sichuan, as for the Guizhou system, just rely on the courage of Yan Yan to take down the effort."

Cai Yi: "In this battle, our first army played the vanguard. ”

"Well, one of Du Yuming's regiments is in Baise, and this battle started with Fulin. After the meeting ended, Du Yuming's regiment was ordered to support Fulin, and then his second division was replenished. Tomorrow all units will be reorganized, and all units will be mobilized by tomorrow evening at the latest. The First and Fourth Armies were in charge of Yunnan and were commanded by Cai Yi. The Second and Third Armies were in charge of Guizhou, and Jiang Baili was in charge. The Guards, commanded by Huang Bai, approached Hunan and Fujian, and told Tan Yanhong (the battle of Tan and Zhao had just ended) not to act rashly. I will allow you to mobilize paratroopers and air forces to participate in this battle, and Wang Xiaoshan's tigers will also cooperate with you. It's still the old rule, fight at home, take prisoners if you can, and don't hurt the people. ”

"Yes."

After the meeting ended, Chen Shao took a piece of information and handed it to Wang Jie, telling him to go to the radio immediately to send out the news.

Half disappeared, and a message was broadcast on national radio.

"Hello everyone, now urgently insert a piece of news, according to a villager in Yunnan, this station learned that a patriotic organization located in Fulin County, this organization is dedicated to learning from the two autonomous governments of Guangzhou, and developing people's livelihood. However, the interests of the Yunnan system were violated, and then the leader of the Yunnan system, Tang Jiyao, sent a division to encircle and suppress it. The commander of this Yunnan division was named Li Yanping, and according to the villagers, Li Yanping's troops were like locusts crossing the border, plundering along the way. Chen Shao, head of the Liangguang Autonomous Government and supreme leader of the Gui Army, was very angry when he learned about it. Here, I conveyed a word to Tang Jiyao on behalf of District Chief Chen: The Yunnan system will pay the price for this, and the battle of Guidian will begin today. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and countless listeners began to discuss, and no one even listened to the next opera. Some of the other warlords began to gloat, others thought more. The Gui system, which has been calm for two years, is now opening his minions, but what he didn't expect was to open the Yunnan system. Many people estimate that if the Gui system acts, the most likely thing is to take the Guizhou system and Fujian, after all, the persimmon picks up the soft pinch, and the Yunnan system is much stronger than the Guizhou system, but the Gui system does the opposite. From this, it is not difficult to see that this Gui family is very confident in himself.

At this time, Tang Jiyao was listening to the opera and eating lunch, he was in a good mood, but after hearing the news, he was so angry that he threw the bowl directly on the ground. The guards outside the house heard the noise and immediately ran in. Tang Jiyao waved his hand and asked the guard to go out. After walking around the house a few times, his heart was extremely complicated at this time. One is his dissatisfaction with Li Yanping, he has warned Li Yanping many times, but he didn't expect that he would still be dead now. The second is to be angry at Chen Shao's words, what is he Chen Shao, when he was fighting in the east and west, he Chen Shao was not yet born, and now he dares to threaten himself like this. Third, he is very jealous of the Gui army, as far as he knows, not to mention combat effectiveness, that is, weapons and equipment, and his own division is not as good as a regiment. And I heard that the other party still has planes, and there are quite a few of them, and now there are planes in China except for the direct and Feng lines and Nanjing. Now that he is riding a tiger, the other party has begun to declare war on himself, and he can only fight.

Thinking of this, Tang Jiyao called a guard and called all the officers to come to the meeting.

In the conference room of the Overseer's Mansion in Kunming, Tang Jiyao's generals all came.

"Now you all know, the Gui family is coming, let's talk about how to resist it?" Tang Jiyao spoke first.

"Damn Li Yanping, bandits are bandits, and dogs can't change their shit." A division commander couldn't help but scold.

"Now is not the time to be held responsible, do you think that his Gui family really came to call because of Li Yanping! Those are all excuses, the Gui family has always had ambitions to expand, and even if there is no such reason, there are other reasons. "Tang Jiyao.

"Overseer, now is it time to let Li Yanping come back first, and everyone will concentrate their forces to defend the big city."

"What's the use, he didn't do it yet, and later, he didn't even know how he died."

"Li Yanping still continues to level Fulin County for me, but the speed must be fast. I don't think the Gui family's movements will be so fast, our Dian army has hundreds of thousands of good soldiers, and it is not so easy for him Gui to eat us, at least we have to gather most of the army to deal with us. The time when they gathered their troops was our opportunity, and they telegraphed to the troops in Guizhou to respond to us and attack the Gui system on both sides. Later, he sent a telegram to Yan Yan in Hunan, telling him to send troops to attack the rear of the Gui system, and after the matter is completed, they will attack Liangguang together, and when the time comes, our two armies will equally divide the territory and property of the Gui system. I think in the face of the rich Gui family, how can he not be moved. Tang Jiyao thought for a while and said.

"Overseer, you're planning a big battle with the Gui family?"

"Well, to play to our strengths, our advantage is that there are a lot of people. If we fight with the Gui family, and Tan Yanhong in the back gives Chen Shao another hard blow, then victory is not far from us. ”

"Will he promise us? Does that guy have the guts to provoke the Gui family? A division commander said with some doubts.

"Money strengthens people's courage, and the Gui family business is so big, there is no reason for him not to be tempted." Tang Jiyao said confidently.

It's just that Tang Jiyao didn't know that Chen Shao had long prevented him from making this move, the Guards could be regarded as the ace of the army in the Gui system, with nearly 60,000 guards, and the combat effectiveness was not that of the warlords of the Guizhou system. If Tan Yanmin really dares to move the Gui Department, Chen Shao is confident enough, the Guards will definitely be able to give him a huge surprise, and when the time comes, he will inevitably lose his wife and soldiers.

And if Jiang Baili and them knew that the Yunnan system was going to concentrate their forces to fight with them, it was estimated that they would laugh out loud in their dreams, and this Tang Jiyao was too cooperative.

--------------

Just when Chen Shao and the others were meeting, the division of Li Yanping of the Yunnan Department was getting closer and closer to Fulin. Li Yanping, who was riding on a horse, was fantasizing about how much he could benefit from this battle, when a soldier ran over and said, "Division, three kilometers ahead, I found the sniper position of the Fulin militia regiment. ”

"How many are there?" Li Yanping asked indifferently.

"A thousand people."

"There are only 1,000 people, and they dare to try to block my division of nearly 10,000 people, they don't know whether they are alive or dead. Order a regiment to speed up the march and pull out this sniper position for me as soon as possible. ”

"Yes."

On Da Niu's militia position, a soldier also ran to report to Da Niu: "Regiment commander, the Dian army is coming, they split a regiment and go straight to us." ”

"Tell the brothers, get ready to fight." Da Niu said calmly.

"Yes."

Da Niu looked calm, but it didn't mean that he was calm, after all, he had never fought a big battle himself, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart in the face of the other party's pounce. However, as the head of the People's League, he must lead by example, if he doesn't even have confidence in himself, then how can this battle be fought. In the past, when he was studying in Guangxi, he had read some military books to some extent, and the positions were lined up in a good way, and the light and heavy machine gun firepower formed several firepower networks, and if the other side charged intensively, he believed that it would be enough for the Yunnan army to drink a pot.
