Foot the next morning, Beiping Tangshan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFormer enemy command. More than a dozen generals and colonels, including Huang Shaofa, head of the Central Staff Corps, Yang Jie, director of the Staff Corps and commander-in-chief of the Central Army, and Xu Tingyao, deputy commander-in-chief of the Central Army Corps and commander of the 17th Army, hurried over.

After everyone got out of the car, they saluted and shook hands with Zhao Rui and other commanders at all levels of the headquarters, and it was quite strange that An Yi did not come out to greet them. Director of the Political Department Zhan Zhi hurriedly explained: An Yi is in the command hall upstairs, just. As soon as he fell asleep, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights.

As soon as they got off the train, the generals who hurried to the back had breakfast, took a short rest, and all went up to the conference room on the second floor of the main building. The generals and schools are all working intensively, but An Yi is nowhere to be seen. Huang Shaofa was just about to ask, Zhao Rui pointed to the corner behind the large sand table, and the generals took a closer look. I saw An Yi lying on the marching bed next to the radiator, covered with a military coat, sleeping soundly.

Huang Shaofa waved his hand, signaling everyone not to wake up An Yi, and walked to the large map where the two staff officers were drawing lines to take a closer look, Yang Jie and Xu Tingyao also followed, and the two staff officers saw the arrival of the chief, hurriedly saluted, and quickly stepped aside.

The map is very detailed and accurate, and the situation of the enemy and us on the whole line is clear at a glance

Head.

Yang Jie two. A month ago, he had left the post of deputy chief of staff and was transferred to the Central 6th Army University as the director of education and acting president. He was transferred by Chairman Chiang to Beiping as the director of the General Staff Corps and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the Central Army. Share An Yi's busy command work. Huang Shaofa continued his original post as head of the staff committee. He was responsible for military staff and coordination of the various armies on the North China front, and only a few days after he returned to Nanjing from Hong Kong, he rushed to Beiping by train with Yang Jie, who had returned to Beijing for a meeting, to continue his duties.

"Where is Gu Changfeng's department now?" Huang Shaofa looked at the map and asked very worriedly.

Zhao Rui pointed to the Wuhu Mountain line, 20 kilometers northeast of Karaqin: "Here, I traveled 47 kilometers in one night, crossed the two highways where the Japanese army patrolled back and forth, and successfully infiltrated the line from Wuhu Mountain to Shuiquan an hour and a half ago. It is estimated that it is no problem to hide for half a day, but I dare not say it after a long time. ”

Yang Jie and Xu Tingyao admired it in their hearts, thinking that only An Jiajun had such a strong sense of action and endurance, nearly 10,000 soldiers traveled 47 kilometers in such a complex terrain in one night, and they had to avoid the Japanese troops along the way. From this point alone, we can see the tremendous results produced by An Jiajun's strict and scientific training system.

Yang Jie looked carefully for a while, and nodded the cross: "Stopping in this area, it can be said that it is very unexpected to us, it is estimated that the Japanese army will not be able to figure it out for a while, what I am worried about is the traces left by the march of the large army, there has been no snow inside and outside the Great Wall for two days, it seems that the sun will be shining today, coupled with the high-altitude reconnaissance of Japanese aircraft, it will become very difficult to hide their whereabouts." Although they were led by experienced soldiers from the Northeast led by Yang Jiuxiao, it was still very difficult to hide nearly 10,000 troops in the enemy's encirclement, which was also the most worrying thing to me. I suggest that you move as soon as possible after resting and recuperating, I don't know what General Gu's next plan is? ”

Zhao Rui shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It hasn't been decided yet, everything depends on the actual situation on the front line, Commander An followed closely for a night, and after receiving the telegram that the whole army of General Gu returned safely crossed the last patrol line of the Japanese army, Commander An went to sleep." ”

"Where's the beard?" Huang Shaolong asked.

"I rushed to Gubeikou yesterday evening."

Zhao Rui hesitated for a moment, and finally explained truthfully: "To be honest, we are very worried about the morale and combat ability of Tang Yulin's Fifth Army, and the two important places of Jianping and Lingyuan will be surrendered without a fight. forced 10,000 soldiers of our army to retreat. In deep danger, the officers and men of our army are cold!

"You have to know these 10,000 soldiers. All of them are the elites left behind by the selection of the 44th Division, the 17th Division, and the 2nd Independent Division, and it can be said that they are the absolute main force with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most rich experience in our army.

"At the emergency meeting held last night, An Erling saw that something was wrong, and strictly ordered all departments not to discuss, not to act rashly, and not to leave the barracks for a single step, and that actions above the company level must be reported to him himself, and he can only be dispatched with permission, because he is worried that the generals of each division will not be able to think about it in anger, and go to Tang Yulin and Dong Futing to settle accounts."

Huang Shaofa and the three of them glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly and smiled bitterly. They are very aware of the character of An Jiajun who will take revenge, and understand that there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in An Jiajun. There are many talents, and if a special detachment is sent to retaliate at will, I am afraid that it will be able to make the generals who offend An Jiajun creepy, if Gu Changfeng, Yang Jiuxiao and the soldiers are forever left in the land where they fought bloodily outside the pass, I am afraid that Tang Yulin and Dong Futing will not know how they died.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, Chief Gu is in an emergency!" Major Li Yufu, chief of the communications section, arrived quickly.

Zhao Rui raised his head after reading: "Wake up the commander." ”

"No need to scream."

An Yi had already come behind the generals, smiled at Huang Shaofa, Yang Jie and Xu Tingyao, took the telegram and looked at it, his face changed, and he rushed to the map in two steps. Raise your hand, move your finger slowly across the map, and take a step back

All the generals posted it, and saw An Yi staring at a point on the map in contemplation. I was embarrassed to disturb him, so I could only stand beside An Yi and wait patiently.

A few minutes later, An Yi exhaled slowly. asked in a low voice: "Several chiefs, if Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao lead their troops to attack Chaoyang. What will the chiefs think? ”

Huang Shaofa and the three of them were really startled, Huang Shaofa didn't think about it, so he said loudly: "Brother Gu doesn't want to die?" ”

Because Huang Shaofa's voice was so loud, the more than 20 staff officers in the entire hall all looked over, Xu Tingyao took half a step forward and suggested in a low voice:

"If you can, you need to travel northwest as soon as possible, bypass the north of Jianping, and go straight to the line of Ningcheng. Ningcheng currently has a brigade of the Northeast Army holding on, and it will be safe when it arrives there, and it is also the most feasible from the perspective of time. ”

Yang Jie is worthy of being recognized as a military theorist in the military. He looked at the map and thought for a while, then pointed out the key point: "I think this idea is good, the attack on Chaoyang is definitely beyond everyone's expectations, including the Japanese army, if it wasn't for Brother An himself to say it just now, I'm afraid even I don't believe that Gu Changfeng dares to do this." But if you think about it carefully, with the wisdom and courage of General Gu, the strong combat power of nearly 10,000 elite soldiers, and the assistance of fierce generals like Yang Jiuxiao, who are familiar with the terrain and have a deep mass base, it is feasible to attack Chaoyang by surprise. Moreover, the line of retreat to the west after the first blow was a combination of weak forces in the middle and north of the Japanese army. ”

The generals carefully looked at the map and nodded again and again, secretly admiring Yang Jie's sharp gaze.

Yang Jie didn't know, took a step forward, pointed to the map and continued: "Secondly, because the five brigades of the Japanese army in the middle of the route, mainly the first division regiment, are advancing too fast, but the distance between them and the North Route Army attacking Chifeng has been extended, and the overall offensive of the Japanese army has suddenly become two roads, but I don't know whether the Japanese army is intentional or unintentional.

"Judging from the map, this, which is nearly 90 kilometers wide from north to south, hundreds of miles long from east to west, and west is our army's defense area, this is the most ideal retreat route for General Gu. The Japanese army will not abandon the important strategic objectives of the two route armies to encircle them, and sending a small number of troops may not be able to defeat our tiger and wolf division. Moreover, it is not so simple to deploy troops in a hurry, and it will not work if there is less mobilization, and if there is too much mobilization, it will involve the overall situation, and the Japanese army will have a headache in the brain. It's just that I don't know what the strength of the Japanese army on the front line of Chaoyang is, and what the distribution of troops is, these factors have to be considered comprehensively, and it is likely to be self-defeating if it is not done well. ””

"Here!" Zhao Ruifu replied.

"Call back, agreed!"

"Yes!"

An Yi was so bold that Huang Shaofa admired it, he took An Yi's hand and asked softly, "You don't give specific instructions to the tiger head?" ”

An Yi shook his head: "I am hundreds of kilometers away and I don't know anything about the situation on the front line, how can I give specific instructions?" The younger brother will not do anything that is blindly commanded, otherwise it will kill people. ”

Huang Shaofa raised his head and sighed: "Leading troops under your An Yi is a blessing for the general!" To say something embarrassing, in the several years of the campaign to unify Guangxi and the two provinces, Brother Yu was the commander of the Gui army first. Later, he was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Eighth Route Army of the Liangguang Army. In every battle, he must bow down to everything, dare not be careless, and command operations down to the regimental level many times.

"I heard that in the ongoing encirclement and suppression, the commission often commands down to the division and brigade level. This is not because the commander can't trust the generals under his command, but because he is too concerned, and now it seems that many times this concern restricts the swing of the generals under his command. It is not conducive to the progress of the war, and even makes the following complain.

You, the commander, deserve to be so dashing, so trusting in the ability of the generals under your command, and delegating power so much. It's so touching! ”

Yang Jie and Xu Tingyao expressed the same feeling, but An Yi shook his head and said humbly: "It's not that the younger brother is chic, and it's not that the younger brother is not worried, these ten thousand elites are all the meat of the younger brother's heart!" The reason why he pretends to be chic is because he really doesn't understand the situation on the front line, and it is even more difficult to understand the current situation and actual thoughts of the soldiers on the front line. At this time, as long as there is no mistake in principle in the decision-making of the generals leading the troops on the front line, they can only let them do it.

"Hey, they are more difficult to bear than the younger brother, and if they win the battle, the glorious younger brother will also have a bright face, and the Military Commission and the national newspapers will boast that the younger brother has a good command, but what if they lose? At most, the younger brother will only cry quietly, and will never commit suicide because of this, and the Military Commission and all walks of life will say: 10,000 warriors have fought alone for many days and made great achievements. But because a certain general who was afraid of death fled without a fight, he was deeply surrounded by more than 100,000 Japanese invaders, and it is not easy to survive until now, which is worthy of respect and remembrance!

"But what about Gu Changfeng, Yang Jiuxiao, generals and nearly 10,000 brothers? It's not a simple matter of reputation when they lose, it's fatal! At this time, do not let them control their own destiny. How? ”

Huang Shaofa and others listened to An Yi's big truth. nodded frequently in agreement, but if you think about it carefully, you can really achieve An Yi's open-mindedness. How many people are there in the whole army?
