Qiao Anbang smiled and said: "No, the war is only the last resort, our purpose is to let Tang Enbo take the initiative to evacuate Shandong, of course, if he dares to shoot the first shot, then we will never be beaten passively and not fight back!" ”

After speaking, Qiao Anbang pointed to the map and instructed everyone: "First of all, my reorganized first division must continue to stand still and confront the main force of Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army, which is actually containment, as long as Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army is contained by us, then Wang Zhonglian's 85th Army will be much easier to deal with!" ”

Li Yifeng nodded and took the order, and Qiao Anbang said to Jiang Jun, the commander of the Fifth Division, and Zhang Xudong, the commander of the armored division: "The reorganized Fifth Division will transfer an infantry regiment and a self-propelled artillery regiment to cooperate with the armored division to immediately move in the direction of Jining, and be ready at any time to cut off the retreat of Tang Enbo's troops in the direction of Heze!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xudong and Jiang Jun also hurriedly got up to answer the order.

"In general, the 20th Army Corps of Tang Enbo's department originally had about 780,000 people in the five divisions of the 52nd Army and the 85th Army, and now, after the expansion and reorganization of the past six months, Tang Enbo's department has expanded to seven divisions, with a strength of more than 100,000 people, and its main forces, the 52nd Army and the 85th Army, are the elite troops of Jiang Zhongzheng's central lineage, well-equipped and powerful. If we mobilize troops to strategically encircle Tang Enbo's troops, I think Jiang Zhongzheng will never be indifferent, in addition to the Shandong battlefield, we should also need to guard against Hu Zongnan and Cheng Qian in the Central Plains, Gu Zhutong south of the Yangtze River, and Xue Yue's troops who are rushing down the river to the south of the Yangtze River will suddenly launch an active attack on the western and southern fronts of our 11th Army! Seeing Qiao Anbang's arrangement, Li Pinxian quickly saw Qiao Anbang's intentions and immediately reminded.

"Do you think about it again? Once this matter is not handled well, it will affect the whole body! If you don't get it right, it will lead to a full-scale civil war! ”

"Brother Heling, I have also considered what you are worried about, although it is possible, but I estimate that a full-scale civil war will not break out, because Jiang Zhongzheng will never dare to risk the world's condemnation to start a war against my 11th Army at this time, even if he dares to go to war regardless of everything, then we are not afraid, with our current strength and combat effectiveness, it will not be a problem to deal with his million [***]!" Qiao Anbang analyzed firmly.

"Is that a few second-line reorganization divisions stationed in the Xuzhou area transferred? After all, the Fifth Division is still tasked with defending Qingdao, and the armored division and the first division are not superior in terms of strength! Li Pinxian nodded and suggested again.

Qiao Anbang also nodded in agreement, "It is impossible to repel Tang Enbo's troops, but this is a strategic siege, forcing Tang Enbo to take the initiative to evacuate, this is indeed a bit small!" Therefore, I decided to transfer the 11th and 12th Divisions north to the area of Taierzhuang and wait for the opportunity! ”

"In addition, we must also inform the rest of the main divisions that they must be vigilant and strictly guarded, just in case!"

"Alright, let's do it!" After Qiao Anbang finished speaking, he waved his hand to everyone.

Li Pinxian and others saluted one after another, and then left one after another.

………………………………………………………… Jinan City, located in a three-story western-style building courtyard on the shore of Daming Lake, has now become the headquarters of the 20th Army Corps of the National Revolutionary Army.

There is a pavilion in the small courtyard of the headquarters, and in the pavilion, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears is wearing a [***] general uniform and playing chess with another middle-aged man who is also wearing a general's uniform, but is slightly thin.

"Brother Yudong, your chess skills have been good lately!" The fat man with a fat head and big ears stared at the chessboard while facing the people on the other side.

"Chief Tang has won the award!" Guan Linzheng, who was sitting opposite Tang Enbo, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of leisurely modesty.

Tang Enbo took a step to solve the crisis he was facing just now, and then raised his head and asked, "There haven't been any moths in the recent confrontation with Qiao Jiajun, right?" ”

"It's still like that, there is no big situation, and there are constant small situations, but Zheng Dongguo is a very measured person, I believe there will be no big problems! After all, both sides will refrain from it, and no one will dare to take the initiative to provoke an incident and fire the first shot! Guan Lin said.

"Hmm!" Tang Enbo took a puff of cigarette and said a little depressedly: "Qiao Anbang, this bastard, who supports the army and respects himself, dares to fight against the commission, hum, sooner or later, he will not be able to eat and walk around!" ”

"It's still the period of resistance, if you really fight with the Qiao family's army, it will really hurt the enemy!" Guan Linzheng said with a wry smile.

"Brother Yudong, can you still not know the temper of the commission? It was only a matter of time before he had to get rid of him! Once, when the time is ripe, the commission will definitely do something to him and Qiao Jiajun! Townenberg said.

"However, I'm worried that the Qiao family army is far better equipped than me, and I heard that Qiao Anbang has recently carried out a large-scale expansion of the army, and also formed a naval force in Qingdao, if it turns against the Qiao family's army, I am afraid that with our 20th army alone, the strength is still slightly insufficient!" Guan Linzheng said worriedly.

"Brother Yudong, don't worry, the southern committee has secretly ordered Xue Yue's department to go down the Yangtze River and join Gu Mosan's third theater, in the Central Plains, in addition to our 20th Army Corps, Hu Zongnan and Liu Zhi also led hundreds of thousands of troops to wait for the opportunity, so once the time is ripe, our million army can attack the Qiao family army from several directions at the same time, and annihilate it in one fell swoop!" Tang Enbo said ambitiously, as if he had seen the scene where he had captured a large number of sophisticated equipment from Qiao's army and made the first contribution to the extermination of Chairman Jiang.

At this moment, a colonel officer hurriedly ran down from the second floor of the courtyard, and when he came to him, he reported to Tang Enbo urgently: "Commander, I just got the news that the Xuzhou North Armored Division of Qiao's army suddenly started and rushed in the direction of Jining!" ”

"What?" Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng were both taken aback, Tang Enbo stood up and ran straight towards the war room of the headquarters, and at the same time said to Guan Linzheng and the others without looking back: "Follow me to the war room!" ”

Walking to the war room, Tang Enbo hurriedly ordered the attendant adjutant to open the combat map hanging on the wall, and almost stared at the map for a long time before Tang Enbo muttered in shock: "What is he Qiao Anbang doing here?" Want to take the initiative to start a war? ”

How important Jining's strategic location is, both Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng understand, Guan Linzheng immediately said: "Chief Tang, the incident happened suddenly, let's hurry up and report to the commission." ”

"Yes, report to the commission immediately, whether it is a war or how, please make a decision." Tang Enbo said suddenly.
