Chapters 1234 are indomitable

Song Zheyuan was still fooled, and received consolation messages from more than ten military generals such as An Yi, Feng Yuxiang, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, and Hu Jialin, but unfortunately in the end it was not as good as the slander of Qi Xieyuan and a large number of pro-Japanese officials and think tanks around him.

The traitor organization used newspapers and magazines to incite the citizens of Pingjin who were desperate for peace to go to the streets, holding slogans and banners against war and maintaining peace, and wandered around, Ma Youshan, Xu Liang and a large number of local troops secretly bought by the Japanese also went to meet Song Zheyuan and expressed their support for the peace negotiations, and at this time, the generals within the 29th Army were also obviously divided into two factions, the main battle and the main peace, and the Japanese army in Fengtai, which deliberately provoked the war, also died down and returned to the barracks without any gain. Finally, it caused a serious misjudgment of Song Zheyuan and the centrist military and political officials.

At noon on 8 July, Song Zheyuan announced that he was going to Tianjin to hold Sino-Japanese peace talks, and after the announcement by the Political Affairs Committee of the Jicha Prefecture, it was immediately spread throughout the country by radio waves, and Chiang Kai-shek and the Central Military and Political Commissar, who were holding an emergency meeting in Lushan, were all shocked; at this time, the four divisions of the Kwantung Army had already driven to the front line of the Great Wall, and another six mixed brigades were rumbling south from Mukden, Chaoyang, Jinzhou, and other places at the fastest speed, and the situation of the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war was extremely obvious. At this time, Song Zheyuan still held such a naïve and ignorant fantasy of peace, and still did not recognize the faces of the many traitors around him, how could it not make people anxious and angry?

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chiang Kai-shek, who could not bear it anymore, finally called Song Zheyuan in the form of an open telegram order: "...... We must not leave anything to chance, and we must have the determination to fight a decisive battle to the death and the spirit of active preparation...... Even if the final peace talks are made, it is a matter of principle not to lose the slightest degree of sovereignty......"

After Chiang Kai-shek issued a telegram order, he immediately ordered the two main divisions of Sun Lianzhong's division to go north to Baoding in the name of the supreme commander of the whole army, so as to make up for the emptiness in the abdomen of the 17th Army after the front and back. Since then, the idea of an all-out war of resistance has been completely certain, and no cowardly retreat will be allowed.

At 2:10 p.m., the Lushan Conference Room of the Military Commission.

The short break had just begun, and the generals and commanders were relaxed, some went out to breathe, and some silently lit cigarettes, while Feng Yuxiang, Xu Yongchang, Tang Shengzhi, Chen Cheng, and other seven committee members were still standing in front of the large military map and discussing nervously.

In the morning, Chen Cheng, on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek, suddenly announced a shocking top-secret plan: Once the Sino-Japanese war starts in an all-round way, the Central Army stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will quickly encircle the Shanghai area in the shortest possible time, in a preemptive way, and use absolute superiority to quickly encircle the Shanghai area, and destroy the first-class army and warships stationed in Shanghai in the fastest time. It will be destroyed with the most resolute blow.

This major secret plan shocked all the core generals and commanders in the military and political circles attending the meeting, and nearly half of them could not digest it for a while.

Immediately after that, in the afternoon, Bai Chongxi, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission and deputy chief of the General Staff, put forward another unexpected battle plan: Taking advantage of the fact that the large Japanese army could not reinforce the Pingjin area in time, he ordered the 17 th Army and the 53 rd Army to take the initiative to attack, take the initiative to attack the Japanese army in the Pingjin area with an indomitable spirit, destroy the enemy's vital forces, occupy the main transportation hubs and strategic points, complete the work in one battle, and seize the initiative in the war first.

Two incomparably bold plans, one after the other, shocked the audience, and the room was silent for three minutes before bursts of exclamations, cheers, and buzzing voices erupted.

Chiang Kai-shek saw that the generals were emotional, and it was obviously difficult to calm down for a while, so he instructed Cao Haosen, who was presiding over the meeting, to rest for a while and give everyone a relaxing time to digest well.

The three chief and deputy directors of the General Staff gathered around An Yi and asked nervously, and seven or eight military-level generals formed a second circle, trampling the freshly mowed lawn in the courtyard on the left side of the hall.

An Yi smoked a cigarette and answered one question after another very sincerely, without the slightest nervousness on his face, nor the usual flattering smile, just serious and serious, and a faint sense of confidence.

Chiang Kai-shek held the crystal cup that he drank half-drunk, stood behind the floor-to-ceiling window, and silently stared at An Yi, who was tightly surrounded by the generals not far away, and his incomparably complicated heart contained a trace of apology.

At the emergency meeting held in the morning, Feng Yuxiang and Li Liejun decided on the selection of the commander of the theater, Director Li ordered An Yi to be the commander of the first theater, and even Cheng Qian, who has always been cautious and never easily expressed his position, also agreed with the opinions of Feng Yuxiang and others, but Chiang Kai-shek finally persuaded everyone and insisted that he should be the commander of the first theater, and the deputy commander was unsurprisingly determined to be Song Zheyuan, but unexpectedly appointed Cheng Qian, a veteran of high morality, as the chief of the general staff of the theater. The former commander-in-chief of the enemy chose Liu Zhi.

When everyone heard Chiang Kai-shek's very cautious and unquestionable decision, they looked at each other and felt very surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, they immediately understood Chiang Kai-shek's good intentions, and knew that Chiang Kai-shek must have obtained the support and loyalty of the main generals under Song Zheyuan through secret channels, and tried to let the people of China see the trust of the central government in Song Zheyuan and the 150,000 soldiers of the 29th Army through the high-profile appointment of Song Zheyuan, so as to cut off all Song Zheyuan's retreat and force Song Zheyuan to dispel his illusions. Wake up and then maintain the integrity and stability of the 29th Army, so that it will not fall to the Japanese army at a critical moment.

In Chiang Kai-shek's view, An Yi is not the kind of local prince who dominates one side and does not listen to the announcement, no matter what, An Yi, who resolutely resists Japan and takes into account the overall situation, will definitely not have any thoughts about this, even if he is lost for a while, he can understand his good intentions as a principal. Secondly, at present, the most powerful in North China, the mainstay of the 17th Army comes from the An Army, although An Yi will be more effective to go to command in person, but the young and vigorous An Yi is very likely to be unable to achieve the overall convincing and consistent pace, on the contrary, if Song Zheyuan is replaced to be responsible for the overall arrangement, and then there is Cheng Qian, the veteran to suppress the formation, the 17th Army, Wan Fulin, and Pang Bingxun can give up the selfishness and so-called old qualifications in their hearts, and they can all go all out, regardless of gains and losses. This was Chiang Kai-shek's greatest consideration.

"Sitting down, worried that General An will feel uncomfortable?"

Bai Chongxi didn't know when he came to Chiang Kai-shek's side, standing side by side with Chiang Kai-shek, looking at An Yi, who was already squatting on the lawn and constantly gesturing with his hands.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "No, I never worry about what An Yi will think, he is my best student and the best general of our army, he will definitely be able to appreciate my good intentions, at this time, the position of the 29th Army is too critical...... Jiansheng, thank you for supporting my decision, and I think An Yi is also very grateful to you for assisting him in coming up with the No. 5 North China Battle Plan in just half a night.

"To be honest, I have thought carefully about the idea of seizing the opportunity to take the initiative before, but without you thinking so carefully and comprehensively, even the worst plan and remedy, the two of you can calculate it in the blink of an eye, which impresses me and makes me feel even more gratified!"

Bai Chongxi was not complacent, but sincerely admired Chiang Kai-shek's other plan:

"The commission is polite, in fact, the commission has already formulated the Songhu battle plan, which is what makes the subordinates admire, before that, I didn't expect that the commission will have a thunderous blow to the Japanese army in Shanghai, and strive for a detailed plan for total annihilation, it seems that the commission not only concealed the enemy, but also concealed all the generals in the army, and at this time the subordinates' hearts are still full of admiration and emotion!"

Chiang Kai-shek smiled rarely: "Jiansheng has a reputation, who can hide it from you, little Zhuge ?" Don't think about it, I know that you must have had this thought for a long time, otherwise you would definitely not be so calm the moment you saw this top-secret plan, hehe...... Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the No. 5 battle plan that An Yi and you hurriedly formulated, although there is Song Gong in the overall command, and Liu Jingfu in the former enemy command, but the specific command has to be done by individuals, who do you think can replace it? ”

"Hu Jialin!"

"Well, that's exactly what I want...... However, whether Jiansheng will go and discuss it privately with An Yi, otherwise I am worried that when the meeting resumes later, he will argue with reason, and if it is not good, Brother Huanzhang will call again. ”

"Subordinates obey! However, after the meeting, I am afraid that it will take a little effort to sit down. His subordinates guessed that General An would go to the commission to argue privately, because the most critical part of Plan No. 5 was not the first phase of the preemptive campaign, but the second phase, which was the most fatal bloody battle......"
