Chapter 338: The Great War in the Central Plains, Sleepless Night (7)
Yan Xishan doesn't care very much about what went wrong with the Pinghan Line, and even he gloated a little, haven't you Feng Huanzhang been boasting that the Northwest Army can fight well?
If there is a problem with the Pinghan line, it will have nothing to do with him Yan Xishan, if you Feng Yuxiang can't even beat He Chengjun, who is leading a group of miscellaneous weapons, then you can just plug your Feng Yuxiang's mouth, so as not to always sneer at me Yan Baichuan, saying that the combat effectiveness of the Jin Sui army is not good.
Seeing that Yan Xishan was a little unimpressed, Gu Renfa hurriedly said: "Baigong, Feng Yuxiang called to say that his Zhengzhou Airport oil depot was bombed. ”
When I heard it, it was not He Chengjun who launched an attack and made Feng Yuxiang deflated, but only Feng Yuxiang's airport oil depot was bombed. Because the dozen or so planes that Feng Yuxiang regarded as his sweetheart and liver were out of fuel, Feng Yuxiang called in the middle of the night to urge, which made Yan Xishan angry.
Yan Xishan said in an extremely dissatisfied tone: "Raising an airplane is not raising an old hen that can lay eggs, it is a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction. At the beginning, Feng Huanzhang took advantage of his position as Minister of Military Affairs to build more than a dozen planes under the guise of public and private interests, but some of the gains outweighed the losses. He has the money to buy planes, so he might as well buy more weapons, ammunition and equipment, why bother to the point that there are still people in his troops who are only equipped with broadswords? Without gas, his baby plane is not as good as a chicken that lays eggs. ”
Gu Ren saw that Yan Xishan was dissatisfied, and even he could hear that Yan Xishan's words still had a "sour taste", knowing that Yan Xishan remembered that he had spent a lot of money to build his own plane, but it was better for Feng Yuxiang to buy it directly, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Seeing that Gu Renfa was a little anxious, Yan Xishan also felt that what he said was a little excessive, after all, he is now the commander-in-chief of the anti-Chiang coalition forces, and he will even become the chairman of the Republic of China soon, and he must be open-minded in his words and deeds.
Holding back his continued sarcastic words against Feng Yuxiang, he asked Gu Renfa: "Feng Huanzhang doesn't want to go all the way to send him oil, right?" Wengo has oil there, does he go to Wengo to find a way? ”
"He's been there, that's why he called Baigong."
Gu Renfa saw that Yan Xishan didn't think about the topic, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and was about to continue talking.
But when Yan Xishan heard that Feng Yuxiang went to find Song Zhewu and didn't get oil, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, waved his hand to stop Gu Renfa, and said with a smile: "Wen Ge is not so stingy, right?" A few barrels of oil refused to give Feng Huanzhang? ”
If Song Zhewu rejected Feng Yuxiang, it would be something that he Yan Xishan was very happy to see. From the bottom of his heart, Yan Xishan had 10,000 reasons not to see Song Zhewu and Feng Yuxiang have a close relationship, and even he didn't want to see Song Zhewu befriend anyone except him, Yan Xishan. If Song Zhewu refused to give Feng Yuxiang gasoline, it was enough to show that Song Zhewu was also very disgusted with Feng Yuxiang, and this alone was enough to make him happy.
Gu Renfa saw that Yan Xishan was getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't care about being polite, so he hurriedly said: "It's not that Deputy Commander-in-Chief Song didn't give it, but Feng Yuxiang didn't find anyone at all." ”
"Didn't find anyone? Could it be that Wenge went to Lushan? Didn't he say that he would have to wait a few more days before he could make a move on the Lushan side? Yan Xishan said suspiciously.
"He must not have gone to Lushan." Gu Renfa said with great certainty.
"Even if Song Zhewu went to Lushan and prepared to start there in advance, he would never leave no one in Zhengzhou, even Feng Yuxiang, the garrison of Zhang Taojun in Miaoli Town and Liulin Town, also sent people, and the camp was empty, and there was no one. Moreover, Feng Yuxiang now suspects that it was Song Zhewu's people who blew up his airport oil depot. Gu Renfa finally had the opportunity to tell all the contents of the telegram.
"What? Not a single one? Yan Xishan opened his mouth in surprise, stunned there, an ominous aura suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, and quickly spread in his body, this ominous aura was cold and piercing, as if it froze his body all at once, even his thinking.
Gu Ren saw Yan Xishan's demeanor and knew that he had thoroughly understood Song Zhewu's serious surname that he was not in Zhengzhou, so he carefully asked for instructions: "Baigong, I suggest that in addition to strengthening the vigilance of all the participating troops of the Jin Sui Army, we should also remind the three army commanders in Shanxi, Zhou Shilian, Yang Chengyuan, and Qin Shaoguan, to be vigilant and strictly prevent someone from doing things that are unfavorable to our Jin Sui Army. ”
Yan Xishan knew that the "someone" in Gu Renfa's mouth naturally referred to Song Zhewu, and Yan Xishan, who had recovered for a long time, said eagerly: "That's as it should be, as it should be, go quickly!" Just go! In addition to asking them to strengthen their vigilance, they also asked Zhou Shilian, Yang Chengyuan, and Qin Shaoguan to quickly report the situation in their defense areas, especially the situation of Datong, Lingqiu, Niangziguan, Jincheng and other major transportation routes into Jin. Also, bring Ziliang here. ”
Gu Renfa didn't dare to delay any longer, and rushed out of the door in a few steps to convey Yan Xishan's order.
Zhou Jue, the commander-in-chief of the artillery of the Jin Sui Army, is now a bare-bones commander, and his four artillery regiments have been split and assigned to various armies by Yan Xishan, and the personnel directly under his control are only the direct organs of his artillery headquarters, and he naturally cannot command the artillery regiments assigned to various armies, so he has nothing to do, so he has to be a senior staff officer by Yan Xishan's side. Fortunately, Yan Xishan has always trusted him very much, and many things have to be discussed with him, a real student of Yan Xishan, otherwise he is ready to go back to Taiyuan.
After listening to Yan Xishan's nervous narration, Zhou Ying also felt that the situation was very serious, but because there was no further information, he had to accompany Yan Xishan, who was like an ant on a hot pot, to wander around the house.
Soon, Gu Renfa trotted all the way back, handed the two telegrams in his hand to Yan Xishan, seeing Gu Renfa's face turned pale, Yan Xishan knew that it was likely that something that he least wanted to become the truth happened, and he was so panicked that he could hardly control himself, and his hand that received the telegram trembled, and the two telegrams were not held, and they all fell to the ground.
Gu Renfa sighed in his heart, Yan Xishan is definitely a good hand in the economy, and Shanxi's people's livelihood and education can be developed to this day, without Yan Xishan, it would never be possible. But as a soldier, he is very unqualified, especially as a commander of a party, he lacks the courage to kill. This can be seen from the fact that Yan Xishan, a graduate of the non-commissioned officer school, did not dare to ride a horse, and could only ride a donkey when he encountered a mountain road when traveling.
Gu Renfa hurriedly picked up the telegram and reported to Yan Xishan and his old boss Zhou Ying: "Commander Qin reported: "Everything is normal there, and he will follow Baigong's orders and immediately strengthen the defense of Linfen, Jincheng, and Changzhi." At the same time, the commander of the Qin army also suggested that the supplementary troops that should be assembled on the spot should be immediately armed on the spot to strengthen the defense of southern Jin. ”
"Good! Good! Just do it. What about Taiyuan and Datong? ”
Hearing that there was nothing wrong with Jinnan, Yan Xishan recovered some strength, which showed that Song Zhewu did not go to Shanxi, at least it left him a glimmer of hope. He was anxious to know the situation in Taiyuan and Datong, and if everything was normal in those two places, it was likely that he had a false alarm.
"Commander Yang of Datong called back, everything is normal in Datong, but he has lost contact with the troops of Fanzhi and Lingqiu, and he is now actively trying to find a way to inquire."
"What? Fanzhi and Lingqiu's troops lost contact? ”
This fatal news made Yan Xishan, who had just recovered a little strength, almost lose his breath.
You must know that Lingqiu and Fanzhi are the only way to go south from Laiyuan to Taiyuan! If something goes wrong here, then it will be confirmed that Song Zhewu is plotting against him.
Zhou Yu grabbed Yan Xishan, who was a little unsteady, and asked eagerly: "What did Zhou Shilian say in Taiyuan?" ”
Hearing Zhou Ying ask about Taiyuan, Gu Renfa's face became more and more pale, and he whispered: "I have not been in contact with Commander Zhou Shilian in Taiyuan. ”
This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Yan Xishan couldn't hold it anymore, his body shook, and he fell backwards, and the thin Zhou Yu could support the strong Yan Xishan, and he was about to fall, so panicked that Gu Renfa grabbed it and put Yan Xishan on the sofa behind him with Zhou Yu.
Yan Xishan was half-lying on the sofa, his face was gray, and his eyes, which were usually full of cunning wisdom, were already dim at this time, looking blankly ahead.
Yan Xishan's expression frightened Zhou Ying and Gu Renfa to call and shake Yan Xishan again and again, deeply afraid that Yan Xishan would not be able to withstand this huge blow, and it would pass all at once.
After a long time, Yan Xishan slowly sat up straight, but his expression was still a little blank, and he just kept muttering, "It's over!" Finished! It's all over! ......".
Seeing that at this critical time, Yan Xishan's spirit had collapsed a little, Zhou Ying couldn't help but be anxious, and he couldn't care about Yan Xishan, so he directly ordered Gu Renfa as his old boss: "Zhou Shilian can't be contacted, and Zhang Dasan from the Overseer's Mansion and the three division commanders under Zhou Shilian, hurry up and contact them to inquire about the situation." ”
Gu Renfa was also a little panicked, and when he heard Zhou Jue's reminder, he hurriedly ran out and went to the telecommunications room to send a message to inquire about the situation.
Zhou Yu's words also made Yan Xishan sober up a lot, and he immediately struggled to stand up, and shouted loudly to the adjutant director Lu Huande, and ordered: "The provincial bank also has a radio station, immediately call Zicheng, and ask him to quickly send someone to verify the situation in Taiyuan and report to Meng." ”
Lu Dehuan, who had just come in, although he didn't know what was going on, was also startled when he saw Yan Xishan's expression, and immediately ran out to generate electricity.
Yan Xishan said to Zhou Yu in a trembling voice, "Ziliang, let's go to the telecommunications room too." ”
Zhou Ying was afraid that Yan Xishan would not be able to withstand the stimulation in the telecommunications room, so he grabbed Yan Xishan and said, "Baigong, now that the matter is urgent, I think I should bring Yisheng to discuss together?" ”
Seeing that Yan Xishan was still a little hesitant, Zhou Yu persuaded: "Baigong, looking at our Jin Suijun, there are only a few people with such talents as Yisheng, and now the matter is urgent, Baigong often says that when things are critical, we must be bold, and if Yisheng is here, we will deal with it more effectively." ”
Yan Xishan shook his head and said to Zhou Yu: "Tongxuan said that Yisheng and Zhang Xueliang have dealings, this is ......"
