Kaifeng, the headquarters of the First Corps in eastern Henan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the large conference room, the stars are shining brightly, and today's military meeting is the first time that Xue Boling has convened a meeting of the main army commanders under his subordinates since he took office.

"Stand up!"

"Commander Xue Boling, commander of the First Corps in eastern Henan, has arrived!"

Xue Boling, dressed in a dark navy blue general uniform, walked in through the door of the conference room, accompanied by Chief of Staff Wu Xiqi and the adjutant of the guard.

"Please be seated, everybody, please be seated!" Xue Boling smiled and walked to the position of the chief general at the conference table, stretched out his hand.

The generals are seated!

According to the qualifications and the height of the position, the distance from Xue Boling is naturally a high and powerful position, and the farther away it is, the less important it is, and this is not a casual sitting.

"You received a notice from Xue, and you traveled day and night, and some of you even rushed a. The road of the night, hard work! ”

"Thank you Chief Xue for your concern, my generation of soldiers, this is as it should be."

"Xue is the order of the Military Commission, serving as the commander of the First Corps, the main combat mission, the combat object, I think you all know it in your hearts, but how to fight the battle, I have to listen to your opinions." Xue Boling's opening remarks were very direct, without half a sentence.

Cold field, such a question, who will be the first to speak, although the first corps has been established, but what power it has has not yet been figured out, who will take advantage of it at this time?

Although everyone is no stranger, and some have fought together, who will easily open their mouths before they understand the true intentions above?

Yu Liangzhen, Gui Yongqing, Song Yinguo, and Huang Jie, all of whom are from the Huangpu lineage, are the descendants of Lao Jiang, the five army commanders, except for Li Bohao, the other four are all descendants, and they are all born in the first phase of Huangpu, and now they have sent a Xue Boling who is not a descendant to lead the army, which is a bit isolated.

Li Bohao, the commander of the 64th Army, was born in the Guangdong Army with Xue Boling, but Li Bohao was pro-Chiang back then, and he was anti-Chiang, and the two of them were still classmates, and their relationship was not bad.

As for the two divisions directly under him sent to him by the First Theater of Operations, one is the 195th Division, and the other has just been changed from the local security regiment in Henan, and they are nominally two brigades, both of which are new recruits, and their weapons and equipment are also very inferior, their combat effectiveness is limited, and they are stationed in Neihuang.

The 106th Division was formed by the remnants of Shi Yousan and had limited combat effectiveness.

Liang Kai, commander of the 195th Division, is also the first phase of Huangpu, and Shen Nan, commander of the 106th Division, is the general of the Northeast Army.

In addition, Lao Jiang also transferred a division from Jurong, Jiangxi, the 61st Division, and the division commander Zhong Yongtian was also from the first phase of Huangpu, directly under the headquarters of the First Corps, which was an elite.

Surrounded by a group of Huangpu Phase I, the protégés of the Son of Heaven, how many people can control the corner?

Lao Chiang's selection of people was not entirely based on selfishness, but also with real considerations, and the commanders of the various units under the First Corps were not ordinary people.

Who can subdue these rebellious young generals?

Only people who are more proud and stronger than them can do it, Xue Boling is undoubtedly one of them, and it is not that there are no other candidates, but other people are not skilled.

Xue Boling is not very old, but his qualifications are very deep, especially when he once served as the guard of the father of the nation, he is brave and good at fighting, his prestige in the army is very high, and there are many admirers in the Whampoa department.

For such a capable and qualified general, he can naturally calm the scene.

"Chief Xue, in my opinion, the top priority is to prevent the Tufeiyuan Division from going south to cut off the Longhai line and ensure the westward withdrawal of military columns and materials to Dexi."

Xue Boling nodded slightly, Shen Nan is a veteran general of the Northeast Army, and it makes sense to say this, he can also see it, no one speaks, it is better for him to stand up and pick this head, anyway, he has no grievances with Xue Boling.

As for what these Whampoa generals think, he doesn't care, what they say.

"Chief Xue, our army has achieved a great victory on the battlefield of Taierzhuang in Xuzhou, the Japanese offensive situation has been contained, and the Tufeiyuan Division is alone at this time, just like the 10th Division of Isoya Ryosuke, we can completely follow Taierzhuang and fight a war of annihilation!" Gui Yongqing stood up and said impassionedly.

"Brother Frank Zhen makes sense, we can't always defend passively, we have to take the initiative to attack, just with the strength in our hands now, we can still achieve an advantage in local battles." Huang Jie, commander of the 8th Army, said.

"Our First Corps now has a total of five corps and three divisions, as well as the troops directly under the Corps, as well as the brother troops of the First Theater and the Luxi Corps, with a total strength of 200,000, and the Tufeiyuan Division is only about 40,000 people, and we are completely able to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army in a five-to-one ratio of troops!"

"Commander Song, what do you think?" Huang Jie and Gui Yongqing all expressed their positions, but only Song Yinguo did not speak out, and seemed to have different opinions.

"I think that Kenji Dohihara should not be underestimated, he has been in China for many years, and he has a deep understanding of my national conditions, people's feelings, and military conditions, and his reputation is quite good, and his plans must be far-reaching, and our army needs to be cautious and cautious against him." Song Yinguo straightened his waist slightly, and said slowly.

"Brother Yin Guo's words are reasonable, Kenji Dohihara is from an intelligence background, and he is scheming, and he is a gentleman, and he is very confusing, so he must be guarded against." Yu Liangzhen opened his mouth and agreed.

Xue Boling glanced at Song Yinguo, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he could tell that Song Yinguo did not support the policy of taking the initiative to attack, and he was also temporarily transferred, and it is estimated that he did not understand the situation for a while, and he did not dare to express his position easily.

However, Yu Liangzhen's words are obvious, to seek stability and stabilize the current war situation, it should be based on the current fortifications and fight a defensive resistance war.

Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie, these two people are ambitious and talented, Xue Boling is clear about this, but it can't be said that these two people are incompetent, and they still have some ability to get to this point.

These two people must have seen the possibility of Tang Keqin's great contribution in Taierzhuang, also known as the second "Hu Shoushan", and they are eager to make meritorious contributions, if they can replicate the victory in the Taierzhuang War, it is better to win a small victory, and they can also shine in front of Lao Jiang, and the future future is naturally not running.

In particular, Gui Yongqing's 27th Army, although it was all reorganized after being withdrawn from Nanjing, Gui Yongqing was uniquely endowed with the relationship between Qiu Qingquan, the commander of the 46th Division, and Leng Feng, and the 27th Army was supplemented by a large number of high-quality soldiers, as well as weapons and equipment, which can be said to be the most powerful and strongest among the five armies.

The 40th Division of Huang Jie's 8th Army was reorganized from the original Tax Police Corps, and its combat effectiveness was not weak, which was also the capital he was sure of for his meritorious service.

"Brother Bohao, what do you think?" Xue Boling turned his gaze to Li Hansoul, the commander of the 64th Army, who was sitting under him.

"I just arrived, and I haven't figured out the situation yet, so I won't express my opinion." Li Bohao smiled, "I will fight whatever Chief Xue tells me to fight." ”

"Old slippery head." Xue Boling scolded in his heart, but there is no way to deal with him, he has been a classmate for many years, and he has worked together again, can he not understand?

"Whether you say what is in your heart or not, but it can be regarded as an opening, and I, the commander of the corps, always have to say a few words." Xue Boling's eyes swept across the crowd, "It is impossible for us to make peace with the Japanese, so there is no choice to fight, you should understand in your hearts that this battle is related to the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War and the safety of Wuhan, this is not me alarmist, no matter whether the Japanese army is going south to cut off the Longhai line, or there are other schemes, their goal of invading our country and trying to conquer us will not change, so please throw away some unrealistic illusions, only in this way can you fight to the death with the Japanese army!" ”

"Chief Xue, do you want us to fight the Japanese army in eastern Henan?"

"The decisive battle, it's not that time yet." Xue Boling smiled.

"Then Chief Xue is going to fight a big war of annihilation in eastern Henan?"

"It's not impossible for Commander Huang to say this." Xue Boling did not mean to deny it at all.

"It seems that Chief Xue has already made up his mind, so I will ask Chief Xue to tell all of us about it, so that we can all be sure of our hearts."

"The Tufeiyuan Division is a heavy mechanized division, plus other units attached to him, with a total strength of more than 40,000 people, and its artillery and tank armor far exceed ours, and eastern Henan belongs to the plain area, which is conducive to the interspersing and detour of the mechanized corps, and under such powerful firepower, our civil engineering fortifications are not opponents at all." Song Yinguo said slowly, his troops had fought against the Japanese army in Songhu and Nanjing, and he was very aware of the strength of the Japanese mechanized corps.

"But it walked in Luxi for a week, and now I only guessed Caozhou, Brother Yinguo, you overestimate the Japanese." Huang Jie said disdainfully.

"The Luxi Corps can't stop Tu Feiyuan, if it weren't for Leng Guoguang's command, Tu Feiyuan would have already gone south to the Longhai Line, and we wouldn't have time to sit here and discuss how to deal with the enemy."

"Leng Guoguang, it's just a little bit more lucky."

"Brother Ren, it's not that I look down on you, your level is really not as good as Leng Guoguang."

"Song Yinguo, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything else, it's just a matter of facts." Song Yinguo's face was as gloomy as water.

"Chief Xue, this meeting can't be opened yet, I'm not here to listen to some people's ambitions to destroy their own prestige." Huang Jie said angrily.

"Okay, Commander Huang and Commander Song, both of them are pillars of the party-state, and now we should work together to resist foreign aggression." Chief of Staff Wu Xiqi stood up to play a round.

"Chief Xue, if you have any plans, just say them, since we are here, we will definitely obey your military orders." Li Bohao said.

"Okay, since I said this, Xue will say my little immature thoughts." Xue Boling nodded, basically he had figured out what everyone was thinking today, and he also knew that if he didn't come up with something, he wouldn't be able to suppress these proud generals of the Huangpu lineage.

"Chief Xue, please speak, we will listen to you."

"I don't like to go around in circles, I like to go straight, I don't care what I think above, or what political considerations I have, I am a soldier, and striking and destroying the enemy is our only principle." Xue Boling said, "Whether it is active defense or active attack, the battlefield chosen is very important, and this battlefield is of course chosen by us." ”

"What does Chief Xue mean that we take the initiative to attack?"

"No, wait for them to come by themselves." Xue Boling shook his hand.

"Come here by yourself, can the Japanese army still obey our dispatch?"

"That's right, a really good commander can not only command his own troops, but also command the enemy's troops to act according to their own intentions, which is to control the initiative on the battlefield." Xue Boling Road.

"That's a bit mysterious, Chief Xue?"

"Xiqi!"

"Yes, Chief Xue." Wu Xiqi stood up and walked towards the huge combat map on the wall, and the guard handed over a baton, "Everyone, please see, this is the distribution map of the enemy situation in eastern Henan and western Luxi. ”

"According to the first battle report, the Tufeiyuan Division has occupied Liangshan, Juancheng, Caozhou, Dongming and other areas, the enemy Sakai detachment is launching an attack on Yuncheng, and the Yuncheng defenders are the 22nd Division of our Luxi Corps and the 1st Division of Honor, and they can still support it, and the main force of the Tufeiyuan Division continues to advance steadily to the south......"

At this time, Xue Boling's adjutant came in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear, Xue Boling's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he waved his hand and motioned for the adjutant to go down first.

"Just now Song Gong called, the Luxi Corps captured the Japanese 10th Division, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isotani, and the Japanese army general Zuo 47 people, the Japanese 10th Division, except for the remnants of Seya Kai who was on the run, were all annihilated!" Xue Boling announced calmly.

For a while, the GJ generals in the entire conference room were petrified.

"What, you think I'm playing an April Fool's joke?" Xue Boling said, "Today is not April Fool's Day, this is true, Leng Guoguang's handiwork." ”

"How is this possible?"

"What is impossible, you think it is impossible, but people have done it, if this is luck, I also hope I have such luck."
