Torture platform, the military headquarters of the New Sixth Army.

Early in the morning, Yue Weihan summoned all the officers above the brigade level of the New Sixth Army to the military headquarters.

Before arranging specific combat tasks, Yue Weihan first briefly introduced the battlefield situation: "According to the latest information obtained by the Intelligence Department, the vanguard of the northward cluster of the Yue army has entered Ci County in southern Hebei, two hundred miles away from the execution platform. ”

"Junza, just say it directly, how is this battle fought?"

"Yes, Junza, the brothers are confused when they run back and forth."

Chi Chengfeng and Li Yulong immediately shouted loudly, since they received the military order to turn around and return north yesterday morning, they have not understood what happened? Yue Weihan didn't explain to anyone at all, although Chi Chengfeng and the others resolutely carried out the order, they kept a big question mark in their minds.

"Hit?" Yue Weihan shook his head and said, "This battle is no longer fought. ”

"His grandmother?" Chi Chengfeng didn't have a good airway, "Don't fight?" ”

"Military seat, the stone gate is not guarded?" Li Yulong was also full of confusion.

"Yes, the stone gate is gone." Yue Weihan sighed and said, "I'll tell you the truth today, Wuhan has been lost, the Battle of Wuhan has been lost, and the army will soon open up the Yangtze River waterway, the strategic position of the Pinghan Line has been greatly reduced, and there is no point in us continuing to hold on to Shimen." ”

"His grandmother!" Chi Chengfeng said angrily, "Why did Wuhan fall away? ”

"Turtle son drop!" Li Yulong also scolded, "More than 150 divisions, but they didn't hold Wuhan? ”

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "The current situation is sinister, China's national defense force has been hit hard, and it may be difficult to recover in a short period of time. ”

Ji Chengfeng and Li Yulong stopped talking, but the atmosphere in the conference room became obviously dull.

Yue Weihan sighed and said: "Brothers, even if we can completely annihilate the army to the north, we will not be able to inflict a blow on the invading army, and if our new Sixth Army is exhausted, it will be an unbearable huge loss for the current national political axe, so the plan for the decisive battle in southern Hebei has been canceled." ”

"Not only will the plan for a decisive battle in southern Hebei be canceled, but Shimen will also be abandoned!" Yue Weihan said this, and said, "However, the materials of Shimen and nearby counties cannot be left to Xiao Yueben, the specific arrangement is as follows, the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment is responsible for the county, the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment is responsible for Nanhe County, and the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment is responsible for ......."

After more than ten minutes of distribution, all 24 battalions of the Baoshan Division were scattered.

Yue Weihan's goal is to "loot" all the major counties in southern Hebei before the arrival of the army, all the pseudo-Han annihilation must be suppressed, all the pseudo-assets must be confiscated, and the shops that cannot be taken away will be sold at a low price.

Yue Weihan estimated that with this batch of materials collected, how could the New Sixth Army survive this year!

As for next year, the irrigation canals in the base areas should have been built, and it should not be a problem for the newly increased water and land harvest to fill the stomachs of all the officers and men of the New Sixth Army; as for the issue of the salaries of the officers and men, the arsenals in the base areas will certainly be able to put into production at that time, and it is a big deal to take out a batch of arms from them and sell them to the Eighth Route Army or Yan Xishan.

At this time, Yue Weihan didn't think that Chairman Jiang would bring him a big pie.

After assigning the task, when Yue Weihan was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Xin, deputy commander of the Baoshan Division's special service regiment and commander of the communications battalion, suddenly walked in with a spring breeze, stood up and saluted: "Military seat, the Military Commission is in an emergency!" ”

Yue Weihan said without thinking: "Read! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Xin immediately opened the telegram and read: "Yue Weihan is hereby promoted to the second-class general of the National Revolutionary Army, and the New Sixth Army will be expanded into the 39th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with Yue Weihan as the commander-in-chief, and the 39th Group Army will be under the jurisdiction of the New Sixth Army and the 69th Army; In addition, the Baoshan Division achieved an unprecedented victory in Niangzi Pass, and made significant contributions to the National War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, with a special reward of 500,000 yuan in legal currency. Military Commission, July 27, 27th year of the Republic of China. ”

"Congratulations, Junza." Cao Xinglong was the first to get up and say hello.

"His grandmother." Chi Chengfeng said, "The lieutenant general who has just been promoted to the military seat is promoted to general again?" ”

"I didn't say it, Chairman Jiang is interesting enough." Li Yulong also said excitedly, "It's so interesting." ”

Next to him, Gao Shuxun, Sun Dianying, Bi Guangheng and others were even more shocked, and their faces were full of disbelief!

There are many lieutenant generals and major generals, but there are really not many generals, not to mention Chairman Chiang, a special general, the first-level generals are only those old warlords, and there are not many second-level generals, who are not Chairman Chiang's henchmen or confidants, or important figures among the major local warlords, such as Xue Yue and Sun Lianzhong, such as Bai Chongqi and Yu Xuezhong.

But almost all of these big names are over forty years old, Zhang Xueliang is an exception, but he is also nearly forty years old.

However, what about Yue Weihan? Born in the first year of the Republic of China (1912), he graduated from the 10th Infantry Section of the Central Military Academy in the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), and now, Yue Weihan is only 27 years old, and he has only been in the army for three years, but he was promoted from an army captain who had just graduated from a military academy to an army general!

Three years, only three years, Yue Weihan has changed from a captain to a general!

The 27-year-old army general does not dare to say that it is unique, but it is absolutely rare in history!

I really don't know what Sun Lianzhong, Bai Chongqi and Yu Xuezhong, the [***] elders will think after the news spreads?

The first five cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy are estimated to be even more depressed, you must know that at this time, even the elite figures in the first phase of Whampoa, Du Yuming and Chen Mingren, who are known as the most capable of fighting in [***], are also the rank of lieutenant general at this time! Most of the rest of the cadets are still struggling at the rank of major general and colonel.

Yue Weihan's face did not have the slightest joy, but a haze.

This kind of promotion speed is definitely beyond the normal realm, and idiots know that there must be something in the middle!

Yue Weihan is not an idiot, and he is even more insightful about Chairman Jiang's intentions, Chairman Jiang is using his promotion of Yue Weihan to envelop the old department of the Baoshan Division, the reason is obvious, I, Jiang someone, is interesting enough to you Yue Weihan, and I am promoted to general and expanded the group army, which can be described as a favor, right? You kid don't want to take revenge.

Judging from the reactions of Cao Xinglong, Chi Chengfeng, and Li Yulong, Chairman Jiang has succeeded!

In the future, if Yue Weihan really wants to defect to the Eighth Route Army, even if he can bring the troops over, it is estimated that Cao Xinglong will also leave a pimple in their hearts, and there may even be a rift between him and the old commander.

What's more serious is that Chairman Jiang has raised his Yue Weihan to such an unprecedented height, and I'm afraid it will not be easy to arrange it over there! This has added many variables to Yue Weihan's future!

At this moment, Yue Weihan had a sufficient understanding of Chairman Jiang.

Jiang was able to forge a bloody path and become the leader of the party-state in modern China, where the "city head changed the banner of the king", not by his extraordinary military attainments, but by his extraordinary political skills! Not to mention anything else, just this hand-to-hand elimination and the means of winning people's hearts, others may not be able to learn even if they learn for a hundred years.

Jinxi, the right bank of the Yellow River.

"Oh, it's terrible, it's amazing."

Yan Xishan, commander-in-chief of the Second Theater of Operations, held a telegram and said in a loud voice, "This young man is really incredible, he was promoted to army general at the age of twenty-seven, rare, rare." ”

"Hmph." Yang Aiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Group Army next to him, said unconvinced, "It's not because this kid is from Huangpu and is a fellow villager of Chairman Jiang, otherwise with his qualifications, why would he be promoted to army general!" "Yang Aiyuan is really unconvinced, he is also the commander-in-chief of the group army, and he is only a lieutenant general.

"Gee, that's not what I said." Yan Xishan shook his head again and again and said, "Chairman Jiang is right, you can't talk about seniority in these years, you should be promoted to military rank according to military merits, although Yue Weihan is young and has shallow qualifications, but when it comes to military merits, who can compare with him?" In my opinion, even the promotion to the first rank of general is more than enough. ”

Yang Aiyuan was silent, in terms of military merits, there was really no one who could compare with Yue Weihan.

Up to now, there have been three permanent divisions and regiments of the Yue Army plus two mixed brigades planted in Yue Weihan's hands, and the cumulative annihilation of the Yue army of the Baoshan Division has definitely exceeded 60,000, and the New Sixth Army is now only 60,000 people! With such a result, [***] more than 200 divisions, which one can compare with it?

"Congratulatory telegram." Yan Xishan also instructed the secretary, "Immediately send a congratulatory telegram to the military headquarters of the New Sixth Army, oh no, to the headquarters of the 39th Group Army, congratulating General Yue Weihan on his promotion to army general, and in addition, send another 100,000 yuan to the Jilu Pacification Office to express the political axe of Shanxi Province and the people of Shanxi Province." ”

…………

Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

It is said that the new commander of the North China Front Army, Senior General Shanshanyuan, has already taken up his post, and Nanzao Yunzi Zhongzuo, who has just been transferred to the head of the Beiping secret service, is reporting to Shanshanyuan the information that the special high school has just intercepted: "Your Excellency, the Military Committee of China has just promoted Yue Weihan to the rank of army general and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army!" ”

"Admiral?" Shanshan Yuan frowned and said, "This Yue Weihan doesn't seem to be thirty years old, right?" ”

Nanzao Yunzi said: "Yue Weihan is only twenty-seven years old this year! ”

"Promoted to army general at the age of twenty-seven?" Shanshan Yuan said in disbelief, "It's incredible. ”

Nanzao Yunzi said: "According to the information obtained by the special high class, Yue Weihan is secretly in contact with [***], and the leader of the branch, Jiang, most likely wants to use this to show favor and entrap Yue Weihan. ”

"Gestures? Netting? Shanshan Yuan suddenly thought, "Miss Yunzi, you say...... Is it possible to win Yue Weihan over and let him serve the empire? ”
