Wuhan, meeting room of the Military Committee of the National Revolutionary Army.

During these days when the two major strategic group armies of the Chinese army in North China and Central China were fighting fiercely with the Tiger Ben Army in Anhui and the Soviet Union, the high-level leaders of the Kuomintang political axe headed by Chairman Chiang also kept a close eye on the progress and situation of the war.

When he learned that the Tiger Ben Army was fighting on two fronts and was gradually becoming unfavorable, Chairman Jiang was happy and worried, and he was happy that he could use the hands of the Yue Army to get rid of Qiao Anbang, a subordinate who had become a vague confidant.

That is also extremely unfavorable to the situation of China's resistance at this time, the entire Central Plains will be directly exposed to the front of the army, and no one dares to say what the consequences will be, but it is certain that at that time, the situation of the war of resistance will definitely be much more difficult than it is now.

It was not until the Tiger Ben Army recaptured Xuzhou and reversed the previous unfavorable situation in one fell swoop, that Chairman Chiang was again contradictory, but soon Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, Xue Yue and other senior party-state generals successively expounded their views to him.

Coincidentally, everyone's views are strikingly the same, they all feel that there has been an extremely rare turn for the better in the War of Resistance against Japan, as long as the Fifth Theater can unite with the Tiger Army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the North China Front Army south of Xuzhou, then the first, second, and fifth theaters of North China [***] can take advantage of the situation to launch an offensive and recover the lost territory in North China.

The main force of the Central China Front is also north of the Yangtze River, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions south of the Yangtze River are relatively empty, and the Third Theater and the Ninth Theater can also take the opportunity to recover the lost territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even if they cannot achieve a comprehensive victory like the North China Battlefield, they can also recover Nanjing and other important towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

In this way, the situation of resistance will be fully reversed, and the situation is likely to return to before the July 7 Incident.

Naturally, Chairman Chiang would not turn a blind eye to the suggestions of the people, but although Chairman Chiang was somewhat involved in strategy, he still lacked something, so he summoned Chen Cheng, Xue Yue, Gu Zhutong, Cheng Qian, and other military commanders of various theaters to gather in Wuhan to discuss many matters such as the next battle against Yue.

In the final analysis, Chairman Chiang has always believed that external troubles are easy to get rid of, internal troubles are difficult to solve, and internal troubles are worse than external troubles, and looking at Chairman Chiang's history of struggle, especially after experiencing the Xi'an Incident, he will definitely not allow another Zhang Xueliang or another Northeast Army to appear.

In particular, the Tiger Ben Army is still a strong force far stronger than the Northeast Army, and Qiao Anbang is a rising star with excellent strategic and tactical vision; in Chairman Jiang's view, if Qiao Anbang is allowed to develop and grow, its threat is far greater than that of Zhang Hanqing, Li Delin, and others.

However, as far as the situation of the war of resistance against the Japanese aggression was concerned, Chairman Chiang did not want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn the tide of the war, especially to recover most of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was the richest area of the Nationalist Government and the source of the main taxes and fees of the central government.

In addition, if the situation of resistance is reversed, the status of Jiang Zhongzheng and the entire national political axe in the international community will be improved.

The most important point is that both Jiang Zhongzheng and Mao Runzhi have a strong patriotic heart, and both of them put national righteousness, territorial integrity, and national reading power in the most important position in their hearts.

Even in later history, when the two of them reached their old age, they also had a tacit understanding to adhere to the one-China policy and retreat to the treasure island, and Chairman Chiang, who resolutely rejected Uncle Tom's suggestion to read power.

Moreover, now that Chairman Chiang has called for the establishment of a national united front against the Japanese people, Chairman Chiang also wants to seize the opportunity to regain vast lost territory and reverse the grim situation facing China at present.

After the two contradictions, Chairman Chiang and his confidants and generals carried out several days, hours a day, analyzing and weighing the pros and cons, and deeply analyzing the possible benefits and losses of the two options.

Today, as he did a few days ago, Chairman Chiang summoned Xue, Chen, and others to further discuss matters such as the next battle plan, but in fact, before he came, Chairman Chiang had finally made a secret decision, that is, to take advantage of the momentum of the Tiger Ben Army to make every effort to reverse the situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and recover the vast lost territory.

After some discussion, Chairman Chiang was just about to announce his decision, when suddenly, Wang Shihe, the head of his personal guard, walked in happily.

When he came to Chairman Chiang, Wang Shihe first stood up and saluted, and then stepped forward and whispered in Chairman Chiang's ear.

Chairman Jiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped the table with his right hand and said vigorously: "Okay, fight well, in this way, there is great hope for the war situation in North China!" ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Cheng, Xue Yue and the others all looked at each other and took the lead in asking.

Chairman Jiang did not answer directly, but turned his head and waved his hand to Wang Shihe beside him: "Shihe, you will read this good news to all the brothers here!" (Jiang often called his subordinates brother and brother in the meeting, hereby noted) Wang Shihe nodded knowingly, and immediately opened the telegram and read aloud: "The Tiger Ben army rushed to the telegram, and our department fought bloodily for more than a month, and finally repelled the main force of the enemy army in Central China, and inflicted heavy losses on it, and the battlefield on the southern front has won a complete victory so far, with a total of more than 20,000 enemies annihilated, and countless heavy ammunition captured and destroyed!" Needless to say, the lowly general will lead the main force of his headquarters to go north to Xuzhou, and at that time, he will also hope to command the Fifth Theater and other friendly troops to cooperate with our troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Xuzhou, and have won a complete victory in this battle, creating an opportunity for our anti-Japanese army to counterattack in an all-round way! ”

Wang Shihe was halfway through his reading, and Chairman Jiang interrupted and continued: "In addition, Qiao Anbang also suggested to me in the telegram that taking advantage of the new defeat of the army in Central China, order all theaters to actively attack in order to recover the lost territory!" ”

"Commission, this is a good thing, as Qiao Anbang said, today's Central China army is newly defeated, and it has been severely damaged by the Tiger Army, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, which is a good opportunity for our army to take advantage of the situation to counterattack!" Xue Yue was the first to get up and said excitedly.

"Well, I think it's a rare opportunity, too!" Chairman Jiang went down the donkey road, and he still had some concerns, but Qiao Anbang's good news and request just gave him an excuse to get him down the stairs.

After speaking, Chairman Jiang turned his gaze to Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Third Theater, and asked, "Ci Xiu, Mo San, what do you think?" ”

At present, the 200,000 soldiers in my third war zone have been repaired for nearly half a year, and the soldiers are waiting for today!" Gu Zhutong said excitedly.

"I agree, but we should have a detailed battle plan and the ultimate strategic goal of the battle before the battle, and of course, it would be better if the results exceeded our expectations." Chen Cheng groaned.

"Hmm!" Chairman Jiang nodded and said, "Ci Xiu's words are reasonable, and the specific battle plan will be handed over to Ci Xiu to be formulated together with the Operations Staff Headquarters." ”

"Yes! I will do my best! Chen Cheng hurriedly got up and answered.

Chairman Jiang turned his head to Wang Shihe and said: "Shihe, send a telegram to Li Zongren and Xu Zuyi, asking them to work with the Tiger Ben Army to completely annihilate the main force of the Yue Army south of Xuzhou, and then launch a comprehensive counteroffensive against Yue himself together with the first and second war zones to recover the lost territory!" Expel the Wakos! ”

"Yes!" Wang Shihe also hurriedly stepped forward to respond, and immediately turned around and strode out.

After Wang Shihe left, Chairman Jiang said to Cheng Qian: "Brother Songyun, the war situation is urgent, don't stay in Wuhan for the time being, return to the garrison as soon as possible, fight hard, and prepare for a counterattack!" (Cheng Qian is five years older than Jiang and is an early member of the Alliance, so he is more respectful) "Yes!" Cheng Qian also hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then said, "Then I will leave first." After seeing Chairman Jiang nod, Cheng Qian withdrew from the conference table and strode out.

"Before you dismiss the meeting, do you think the political axe should reward Qiao Anbang and the Tiger Army?" Cheng Qian left, and Chairman Jiang asked everyone with a flat face.

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and it was really difficult for them to answer this question, because most of them didn't know what Chairman Jiang thought, and didn't the committee always suppress Qiao Anbang and Hu Benjun as much as possible?

He Yingqin still understood Chairman Jiang's surname, pondered for a moment, and replied loudly: "Commission, I think that in this battle, the Tiger Ben Army has made great contributions, and they can defeat the Central China Army and besiege the North China Army, which has made great contributions to today's excellent situation, and should be rewarded for their merits!" To encourage the soldiers of the whole army to kill the enemy and serve the country! ”

Chairman Jiang glanced at He Yingqin meaningfully, nodded secretly, and said happily: "Jing Zhi's words are reasonable, I have decided to expand the Tiger Army into the 11th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the remnants of the original 11th Group Army will be merged, and Qiao Anbang will be promoted to the second-level general of the National Revolutionary Army and the commander-in-chief of the general's group army, and the officers of the other departments will also be promoted by one level according to their positions!" ”

"The 11th Army? That Li Pinxian? He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and others were shocked when they heard this.

"Humph! The general of the defeated army, transfer to him! Chairman Jiang snorted coldly with a pale face. Chairman Chiang was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of Li Pinxian's troops in this battle, first losing Huainan without firing a shot, and in Xuzhou, he was defeated and retreated by the 20th Division of the Yue Army, suffering heavy losses, losing Xuzhou, and causing the Central Plains portal to open.

As soon as Chairman Jiang said this, everyone was furious, Li Pinxian was defeated in a row, and Chairman Jiang used him to boost the army's prestige, and no one could protect him.

……………………………… In Yingzhou City, the pursuit troops of the 2nd Division, the 4th Division, and the Temporary 8th Brigade have all returned, and Qiao Anbang is discussing with everyone about dividing troops to stay in Yingzhou and Huainan.

Although Qiao Anbang wanted to lead a part of his troops north to Xuzhou, and together with the main force of the Tiger Ben Army in Xuzhou, he began to besiege the main force of the North China Front of the Yue Army, but Yingzhou and Huainan also had to leave some troops to garrison.

After all, these two places have become the southern gate of the Tiger Ben Army and the gateway to the base area in northern Anhui.

While Qiao Anbang was talking, the communications officer Yali twisted her thin waist and rushed in, came to Qiao Anbang, and stood up the towering twin peaks to salute Qiao Anbang: "Military seat, Wuhan Chairman Jiang sent a commendation message!" ”

"Oh? Read it to everyone! Qiao Anbang's face was happy, and he gestured.

Yali nodded, opened the telegram in her hand and read: "In view, the Tiger Ben Army bravely killed the enemy in this battle of Anhui and Suzhou...... Qiao Anbang is hereby awarded the rank of second-class army general of the National Revolutionary Army, and at the same time, the Tiger Ben Army is expanded into the 11th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the rest of the original 11th Group Army is merged, and Qiao Anbang is concurrently the commander-in-chief of the general group army, and the rest of the officers are all promoted to one level! In the 27th year of the Republic of China, on July 13, Jiang Zhongzheng of the National Military Commission. ”

ps:I was going to do three more today.,But it's written that I suddenly don't feel good.,The mood is very bad.,The train that's speeding seems to have lost power all of a sudden.,Recently, these days,The subscription to this book has plummeted.,A single chapter 24 hours with the fixed reading has dropped from nearly 800 to more than 300 now.。

Watching the subscription data decline little by little, the feeling in my heart is really uncomfortable, has this book been written and scrapped by me?

Of course, I know that this is also related to my interruption and unstable update some time ago, but the ignorance of chasing speed and war texts has also led me into a misunderstanding, which has led to a particularly serious loss of readers.

I once said that this is the best of the three V books I have written, and it was very promising to be on the big seal, but now this subscription is really not a chance.

The most frustrating thing is that the wireless is still available, and many books that were on the shelves at the same time as me, or even later than me, have gone up, but the empire has not been able to go up for a long time.

Many friends joked that the book was finished, and it must have not passed the review. If this book can't be accessed on TVB, and I don't have a subscription to the starting point website, then I am afraid I will not even be able to earn living expenses.

Today I read all the chapters of this book after entering V, and I found that the quality of the chapters I coded recently has indeed decreased a lot, so it's no wonder that so many readers will be lost.

After learning from the pain, I should still find problems in myself, and in the future, I will code every chapter with my heart, and do my best to code every chapter, and I will not pour water to make up the number of words for the sake of that thousand yuan of full attendance.

The update must also be as stable as possible, striving for a chapter in the morning and afternoon, and nothing else, in order to save this book, I really don't want to write this book to death, so that I will eventually embark on the road of eunuchs because of no subscription, no manuscript fee.

Saying so much, it's not to pour bitter water on everyone, nor to pretend to be pitiful or anything, I just want to tell you what I feel and think in my heart now.
