Chapter 496 Multi-pronged approach IV

readx;

The dishes of the holy table were sumptuous and delicate, and the hungry An Yi quickly finished eating the self-publication seven: cut one portion, Song Meiling smiled and whispered to the waiter to add more to An Yi, An Yi accepted it with a smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info whispered thanks to the waiter and asked to give him half of the German smoked pork leg that had been removed from the net. Seeing that the waiter wanted to help him cut into small pieces, he hurriedly stopped, took the plate and raised the knife and fork with satisfaction, making Yu Jishi, Jiang Dingwen, Gu Zhutong and Liu Zhi beside him couldn't help but laugh, and it was the first time to see someone so disregard Sven at Principal Jiang's family banquet.

Chiang Kai-shek was very pleased with An Yi's unrestrainedness, put down his fork and wiped his mouth, and asked in a low voice:

"An Yi. How do you arrange your independent division? ”

"Back to the principal. Didn't let them move."

An Yi swallowed a mouthful of meat, quickly wiped his mouth, and replied respectfully in the laughter of Song Meiling, Yang Yongtai and others: "The goal of the independent division is too big. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the ** camp in the dark, and when they move, they will make the Gui family pay attention, secretly raise their vigilance, and if they don't move, they can firmly pull the eyeballs of Hu Zongfeng and others, making them misjudge. It is conducive to our calm layout. Once the war requires the commander's order, the 36-hour independent division can march into the Wuhan area to participate in the battle.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction, and Liu Zhi and Jiang Dingwen were very envious of An Yi's fleet and two advanced troop carriers that could send one regiment at a time. Song Meiling was quite surprised by An Yi's openness. How can it be so fast to ask softly? An Yi said that General Chen Shaokuan's naval ships have controlled the section of the river below Huangzhou, and the water transportation is unimpeded, so there is a guarantee: "You went to Tangshan this afternoon?" Chiang Kai-shek asked suddenly.

An Yi stood up and bowed his head and admitted: "Please punish the principal, the student really can't help but go and see Senior Ren Chao, he is the worldly friend of the student's fiancΓ©e's family." Over the years, he has taken great care of his students. When the students returned from the Jiangbei fiasco and were persecuted by the Gui department again, he also sent a telegram accusing the Gui department of trying to protect the students. Students should keep in mind and dare not forget, but the interests of the country and the nation are the great righteousness, and students will never put the great cause of the party and the country behind because of their personal feelings. Even if Ren Chao's predecessor is commanding the army to fight against the students.

Students will also stand up without hesitation, but "it's just that students feel that their positions are different, and they should also fulfill the courtesy of their juniors." Then I started to fight again, and I didn't have so many worries in my heart. ”

The table full of people looked at An Yi nervously. Chiang Kai-shek was noncommittal, motioned for An Yi to sit down, and glanced at the generals present: "After dinner, you will rush to the front line, and I will also rush to the Jiujiang front command after the meeting." I hope that you will implement the guiding ideology of this battle decision, control the two lakes in one fell swoop and return to the north, and strictly prevent the Northwest Army from going south to take advantage of the fire to loot.

Jingfu, Mingsan, and Mosan, although the three of you let go of the fight, don't worry about the battle situation in Jiangnan, the better you fight. Jiangnan will advance faster, Liu Xiang has promised to go out of Sichuan, General Yizhi and the First Route Army commanded by An Yi will cut off the way for the Gui family to flee south as scheduled, you try your best to collect prisoners and grow as soon as possible, and then disarmament is no longer realistic, but to increase troops, how many you collect, I will give you as many numbers, do your best! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Zhi and the three replied excitedly, their faces were full of excitement, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for self-growth, the more troops under their command, the higher their positions and their strength, can they not be excited? In particular, Gu Zhutong, who was suppressed by Liu Zhi, secretly made up his mind to fight this battle well, strive to catch up with or surpass Liu Zhi, and become an important part of the independent lineage, rather than continuing to succumb to Liu Zhi.

Everyone chatted while eating. Dinner ended quickly, and An Yi, who was silent, ate very comfortably. The two large plates of meat dishes and a plate of salad fruits and vegetables in front of him were wiped out by him, and it did not attract the attention of the excited people again.

Liu Zhi and other generals immediately rushed to the command of the operations in eastern Hubei to salute Chiang Kai-shek and say goodbye, An Yi sent them to the car back to the living room, now only the commander-in-chief Chiang and his wife and Yang Yongtai sat on the sand in half a circle and drank tea, An Yi went to the net to ask for resignation, Chiang Kai-shek smiled and pointed to the vacant seat next to Yang Yongtai. An Yi could only sit down again. He took the teacup handed by the messenger and whispered his thanks.

Chiang Kai-shek admonished: "This is the first time you have commanded six divisions to fight. General Yizhi, the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army, will only stay in the Jiujiang camp to help you suppress the formation, and the front-line operations depend on you, the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

Yin Jinan's garrison division is from your independent division. It is also the same as your independent teacher. Many generals and colonels in the whole division were once your old subordinates. The middle and low-level officers who have been supplemented are all of our Huangpu lineage. Listen to you; Wang Jun, Jin Handing, and Zhang Huizan all have a friendship with you, and they can trust each other, and you have also helped these three divisions a lot. It must have been easy to command, but Fan Shisheng's 16th Army network was reduced to the 5th Division of the Eighth Route Army. Seeing that the situation is not the other party, the other party is electrifying to support me. This man is rat-and-rat at both ends and capricious. It is likely that your command will be resistant.

In addition, in order to lure the enemy, your independent division stayed on the opposite side of Nanjing and could not move for the time being. There are only four catties of small teachers who can move. The difficulty is not small, so. Say whatever you want. ”

An Yi replied confidently, "Thank you, principal." The current strength is sufficient, and there are 24,000 soldiers from the three divisions of the 44th Army of General Zhang Hongza in Xiangxi to cooperate with us, and then General Tan Daoyuan's 6,000 soldiers will be able to take revenge; General Fan Shisheng's Fifth Division was originally an ornament, and it played the role of containing the four regiments of the Gui Army on the Hunan and Guizhou borders; The two divisions of General Wang and General Jin only need to go straight to Hengyang to occupy it and cut off the road to the south of the Gui system in one fell swoop. Forced He Jian to make a choice.

The garrison division of the first factory is not weak. After abandoning the twenty-four artillery pieces that were rationed by the principal at the end of the year, he has been angry. Except that the number of people is not comparable to that of independent divisions. The combat effectiveness is not necessarily much worse than that of the independent division. For the sake of insurance, his subordinates quietly requisitioned a brigade of General Yang Bin, deputy commander of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Command, and guessed six regiments of General Xia Jian of the Security Command. A provisional division of 12,000 men was formed, which was already divided into two routes with the Nanchang garrison division of the younger brother of Nan. Quietly entering the front line of eastern Xiang, the two assembly sites in the north and south were within seventy-five kilometers of Ye Qishi, who had just been mobilized to Pingjiang, as long as the principal's order came out, Ye Qishi would not be able to escape.

Defeated the Ye Qi division of 16,000 officers and soldiers. Changsha will open the door, and northern Hunan will be flat" General He Jian had to lead his troops north to Jingxiang to attack the Gui system, and the two divisions of Wang and Jin only need to hold the Hengyang line to deter the hanging army in the direction of Guangxi and the Hunan army in Changsha. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised, and glanced at Yang Shuitai, who had been listening attentively, and then asked with a pleasant face: "Yang Bin and Xia Jianbu?" How are they fighting? So many troops were drawn at once. Will it have an impact on the defense of counties in the Nanchang area? ”

"Jiangxi's security forces are capable and strict. Non-commissioned officers at all levels have been going to the non-commissioned officer base for more than a year to take turns to take notes, and military discipline and combat effectiveness are still passable. After the 20-odd artillery pieces that had been redressed and eliminated by our Huangpu divisions were repaired and renovated by the Jiangnan Factory, all of them were equipped with security forces, and Xia Jian specially set up an artillery regiment for this purpose, which lasted more than three months. In addition, commanders at all levels have basically been on the battlefield, and their overall combat capability is not below that of the divisions of the local armies.

The security forces secretly transferred this time are basically the troops of Fengxin, Jinxian, De'an and Nanchang headquarters, and the southern and eastern fronts have not moved. An Yi replied very cautiously.

In fact, Xia Jian and Yang Bin were not drawn to fight with 12,000 soldiers from the two brigades, but four catties and 24,000 soldiers from the brigade, which was enough for the strength of the two main divisions. The equipment is stronger than that of Liu Zhi and Gu Zhutong, and the security forces have been painstakingly built by An Yi for more than half a year, and their combat effectiveness has improved rapidly, and Yin Jinan's garrison division may not be able to fight. The reason why An Yi deliberately concealed it. is unwilling to expose his strength too early, if it were not for the fact that the 44th Army of Xiangxi needs to regain the current number confirmed by the central government through this battle, An Yi will not reveal the true situation of the 44th Army.

But Chiang Kai-shek's feeling was different. He knew that Yang Ji and Xia Jian were both An Yi's old subordinates. Following An Yi's northern expedition for thousands of miles, most of the battalion and regiment-level commanders of the security forces under his command were veterans of the former independent division. Therefore, he was relieved after listening to An Yi's words, thinking that Ye Qi's division was defeated under the attack of his two divisions, and at most he would flee all the way north into Hubei, but once he entered Hubei, he could not get rid of the fate of the turtle in the urn in the end, and now it seems that the key to the problem is He Jian, who is entrenched in Changsha and has more than 30,000 soldiers.

Chiang Kai-shek turned to Yang Yongtai. Commanded in a low voice: "Changqing." Before you accompany Yu Zuo to Wuhan to meet Li Mingrui, you must determine the candidates who will go to Changsha to contact He Jian, and you must arrive in Changsha within four days to stabilize He Jian. ”

"Commander-in-chief, please rest assured, the candidate has been decided, and he has already taken a boat to Changsha at noon. One of them is He Jian's teacher, and the other is He Jian's cousin, both of whom have already served in our central government. They are very aware of the general trend in the world. Also know what to do. Yang Yongtai replied politely.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with a smile: "Very good." Take Changsha and Yueyang, even if this battle is over, "An Yi, when the time comes, you personally lead Yin Ji to enter Changsha, I will send you a telegram, you go to see He Jian, and urge him to wave Jingxiang." Encircle the Gui army, otherwise he would still have a fluke. We must let He Jianbu and Gui Jun fight fiercely. After the fight, there was no way out for him. ”

"Yes!" An Yi replied respectfully.

"Okay, you're tired from Jiujiang today. I'll have to rush to Jiujiang to command later, so let's go early! Tomorrow the order appointing you as chief of staff of the First Route Army and commander-in-chief of the former enemy will be issued, and I will personally announce that you can rest assured that you will command, and if anyone does not obey the order, you will call me, and if the circumstances are serious, I will remove him from his post! Chiang Kai-shek said kindly.

"Thank you Principal for cultivating! The student took his leave. Goodbye to Mrs. and goodbye to Mr. Yang! An Yi saluted and strode away with the steps of a soldier.

Yang Yongtai looked at the back of An Yi, who was young but tall, and praised in a low voice. He said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief's Gao Zu is really a rare talent, and his subordinates really can't imagine that such a huge and exquisite battle plan comes from the hands of a young general who is only twenty-three years old this year. It seems that our Whampoa has a lot of talents! ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction: "It is especially difficult. This son is a catty, temperamental, affectionate and righteous, with clear grievances, he went to visit Li Renchao without authorization today, but he did not hide his thoughts at all, unlike those people. It is enough to see his innocent feelings of respecting teachers and respecting the elders and benevolence first, and I am very pleased to have such a student! ”

Yang Yongtai nodded in agreement, praising the old Jiang Hui for his eyes like torches and his tolerance, and Song Meiling also cast admiration and admiration for her broad-minded husband.
