Chapter 18: The Nature of Historical Coincidence (Part II)
In Wuchang, in the conference room of Marshal Fang's headquarters, military and political dignitaries came one after another. Fang Dashuai was going to hold a meeting, and it was said that he was going to plot some reactionary military action. This reactionary warlord is now becoming more and more ambitious.
In Fang Dashuai's office, a small meeting is being held at the moment. Several leaders of the Republican Party are here, Sun Baoqi, Zheng Quan, Han Yan, Li Muyan, and Tang Hualong. Well, now that Governor Tang is the No. 2 member of the Political Affairs Committee of the United Autonomous Region, the work of the chairman of the executive committee, the power has changed in essence, and he is getting tighter and tighter with Fang Dashuai. The No. 1 chairman, according to Fang Dashuai's intentions, was given to Li Yuanhong in line with the goal of cultivating a future president. However, Li Yuanhong is not qualified to participate in this secret meeting.
"Everyone knows the situation, and now the Nanjing Provisional Government can be said to be invincible, and this is exactly what we need to see. Let them fight with Beiyang. Mr. Mu Yan, you have worked hard to return to Wuhu and sell a batch of cheap arms to Nanjing. "Fang Jianxiong can be described as proud of the spring breeze at the moment, and not everyone can catch up with the good things of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
"Please rest assured, the humble post will definitely be done beautifully." Li Muyan first assured, and then patted his ass and said: "All walks of life in Shanghai are highly praised, it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord, which can be called a famous sentence." ”
Sun Baoqi, an old bureaucrat, was most concerned about the territory, and raised his hand to speak: "Supporting the country, Northern Jiangsu is cheaper than Nanjing, Shandong is the Beijing-Tianjin barrier, and it cannot be taken lightly." Moreover, the land of the Central Plains of Henan connects Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hubei, Shandong, Anhui and Zhi. This is where the army is used. We must not fall into the hands of the KMT. ”
When talking about strategy at this kind of meeting, probably only Sun Baoqi dared. Others don't dare to point fingers at the military, and commit such taboos. In fact, every literati has the dream of a military strategist, and they all feel that they are not bad at commanding wars. However, in Fang Jianxiong's territory, the separation of military and political is a very strict bottom line. Sun Baoqi is different, he is Fang Jianxiong's teacher, and it's okay to say a few words.
Fang Jianxiong must have wanted to give face to the teacher, and explained with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, the Jiaodong Self-Defense Army will call and encircle and annihilate Lan Tianwei in just a few days." Henan side. The students have also made arrangements for a long time, and it will not be cheap Nanjing. ”
Sun Baoqi just wanted to use this to show his status, and after getting a response, he didn't mention any strategic vision. Changed the subject and said: "Fuguo, you can't just fight. There is still a lot more work to be done. It has always been to win the world immediately, and it is still up to the literati to govern the country. ”
This sentence is very popular with the hearts of everyone here, and everyone's eyes are lit up. Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.
Fang Dashuai has always been kind and flowing, and nodded with a smile: "Teacher's golden and jade good words, students should remember." ”
Then, the meeting continued, and various carve-ups were made. A group of bigwigs broke up satisfied. Fang Jianxiong had to rush to the conference room in a hurry, but the meeting here had a different atmosphere.
Fang Dashuai walked into the conference room, and stood up neatly in a grass-green military uniform. Adjutant Duan Feng shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief has arrived!" Then the majestic Fang Dashuai walked into the conference room with a stern expression. A group of officers stood with solemn faces.
Fang Dashuai learned the signature movements of the big names in the movie, raised his hands to signal to sit down, and after everyone sat down, he supported the table with both hands and said loudly: "The secret report of the Military Intelligence Bureau is that the Yunnan army has entered Guizhou, Tang Jiyao is beheaded and buried alive, and hundreds of people have been processed. Tang Jiyao won the title of Tang butcher. I am afraid that the rebellion in the southwest is about to begin. At present, the provisional government is busy with the Northern Expedition, and on the other hand, it is still worried about letting Xiong Kewu return to Sichuan and organize the Sichuan Army to participate in the Northern Expedition. The Wehrmacht must not sit idly by and watch these moves. ”
"Great. Sichuan is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River waterway and the land of abundance. The product is abundant and must not fall into the hands of others. Jiangxi has been decided, the three provinces are trained together, Nanjing has no time to look west, even if you want to take care of it, you have to ask the national defense force whether it agrees. "Standing up and speaking was the newly promoted diehard Zhang Zhenwu, the commander of the Eighth Division of the National Defense Force. Today's Eighth Division has two newly formed mixed brigades under its jurisdiction, and although the equipment is poor, it can be regarded as a strong soldier and a horse, and it is eager to make meritorious contributions. Only if you make meritorious service can you have the opportunity to change your clothes.
Fang Jianxiong smiled with satisfaction, that is, there must be such a person to stand up and speak. Turning his head to look at Zhang Xiaohuai, deputy chief of the General Staff, because Jiang Baili was in Wuhu to preside over the opening of the military academy, Zhang Xiaohuai was temporarily acting as the general staff officer.
Zhang Xiaohuai smiled, walked to the ground, picked up a stick and pointed at Yichang and said, "Li Xiaochuan called, the fourth division has completed the change." Taking into account the geographical environment of the southwest, the Fourth Division was organized into two mixed brigades, the commander of the seventh mixed brigade Gao Sheng, and the commander of the eighth mixed brigade, Long Zongheng. The special service regiment has been expanded into a ** special brigade, which can enter Sichuan at any time in advance. It is estimated that the troops entering Sichuan will be four mixed brigades, and the specific transfer of troops will have to be at most commander-in-chief. As far as the General Staff is concerned, what is lacking now is an excuse to enter the river. ”
Fang Jianxiong looked at the map and nodded, then suddenly turned his head to look at the real Tang Qianming and said, "Brother Zhuxin, how is the navy preparing?" ”
Tang Qianming stood up and said, "The ships of the Admiralty have finished resting and can move west at any time. ”
Fang Jianxiong motioned for him to sit down, and then asked Zhang Xiaohuai: "How are the logistics preparations?" ”
Zhang Xiaohuai said: "The military reserves are sufficient, and several warehouses in Yichang have been filled. The trouble is that China Merchants Steamship has limited capacity, and can only transport the troops and equipment of one mixed brigade to Chongqing at a time. The most convenient way for the National Defense Forces to enter Sichuan is to take the Yangtze River waterway. The problem of insufficient capacity must be paid attention to. ”
Fang Jianxiong groaned, the first thing that came to mind was the British Taikoo Steamer, but unfortunately the British thought that it was Yuan Shikai, and he couldn't count on the Taikoo Steamer for this favor.
"Logistics can't just focus on the steamship China Merchants Bureau, but also think of some ways from the people. If there was no steamer, they got on the wooden ship and rented it, so as to send two brigades of troops at one time and occupy Chongqing first. Fang Jianxiong gave a solution, and the rest was not for him to worry about, and the commander-in-chief said that he didn't have to worry about these.
"In my opinion, it is necessary to create a general logistics department. Link the quartermaster services of the ministries. Zhang Xiaohuai cautiously put forward his opinion, and Fang Jianxiong's reaction was to wave his hand: "This is something that the chief of the general staff should worry about, I don't care, you can do it." ”
Zhang Xiaohuai was a little crying and laughing, this Fang Dashuai was called a simple shopkeeper when he shook his hands. However, he also felt a strong sense of trust, and immediately said: "You don't care, the general logistics office is too oily and watery." ”
"Okay, you are responsible for drawing up the list, and I am responsible for signing and agreeing." Fang Jianxiong waved his hand, and this matter was over.
At this time, Duan Feng came in, holding a copy of the text in his hand, Fang Jianxiong smiled and said to everyone: "Excuse, I have already prepared, everyone can see tomorrow's newspaper, let's report it first." ”
The so-called excuse occurred at the end of last month, a sales company in Chongqing under the Eurasia Group, a company specializing in the trading of Wuhu goods. In fact, he also took away some smuggling arms or something, and his real identity was an intelligence station under the Economic Intelligence Bureau. This trading company got a batch of arms to Chongqing a few days ago, and was going to sell them to Chengdu.
This news was deliberately leaked to the Chongqing military government by people from the Economic Intelligence Bureau, with the intention of provoking a dispute and selling it at a high price. Unexpectedly, the Chongqing military government sent troops to surround the trading company, directly dropped a bunch of military tickets, and forcibly seized the arms. And in the name of smuggling munitions, the Chongqing person in charge of the Economic Intelligence Bureau was detained.
With such a thing, it is said that Zheng Quan will not trouble Commander Fang, but the profligacy involved in this matter turned out to be a member of the Fang clan. That's a different story. This wandering, a member of the Wuhu Fang family, is a young businessman, and later such as the Eurasian Group. President Gu Heng admired it very much and cultivated it as a leader among the younger generations. This guy was unwilling to do business for a lifetime, and when he heard that Zheng Quan was recruiting cadres and trainees, he left the mall to sign up. After more than a month of training, with excellent results, he was sent to Chongqing to establish an intelligence station.
Don't look at it as a clan brother who has five suits, it is also a relative of Fang Dashuai. So, Zheng Quan urgently reported to Fang Dashuai, but he didn't think that Fang Dashuai looked at the materials hahaha laughed and said three times: "It's good, it's wonderful." He then instructed Zheng Quan to find a way to continue to expand the situation. The so-called continued expansion of the situation will naturally make the junta people even worse.
A few days later, the Chongqing military government again approached the office of the Sanjiang Trading Company, took out 500,000 military tickets, and demanded that a batch of arms be purchased, otherwise it would not be released. Of course, the arms were said in private, and on the surface, a batch of cloth was purchased with military tickets. He actually signed a procurement contract, which clearly stated that the amount of cloth to be purchased would be paid for 500,000 yuan in military tickets.
It seems that the Chongqing military government is poor and crazy, but in fact, Zheng Quan bribed a quartermaster in charge of the details, and owed this contract, which is evidence that it is black and white, and it can't run away.
Now that the wandering parents have come to Wuchang, tomorrow they will take this contract to the United Autonomous Region Political Affairs Committee to file a complaint, and the Autonomous Region Political Affairs Committee will report the matter. Fang Dashuai took the opportunity to go crazy.
After the incident was reported, a group of soldiers worked hard. The opportunity to go to Sichuan, everyone wants it. When his eyes were hot, Marshal Fang stood up sternly and said loudly: "The command of the Wehrmacht commands!" ”
Brush! All the officers stood up in order!
…………………………
Lin Shuqing did not complain about the defeat, because the Beiyang Army on the opposite side was not a previous standard, but a reinforced standard plus a standard. Wu Peifu is also a good hand in the war, and when he saw that Lin Shuqing's firepower was not fierce, he hid a mark in his hand, and the artillery also pressed it and did not let the cannon open.
A target in the fifth town, against a division of Lin Shuqing, the two sides fought happily. The fifth town is the main force of the Beiyang Army, and the strength of one is against a force like Shanglin Shuqing, who has no heavy firepower, relying on the position defense, the attack is insufficient, and the defense can be supported.
Lin Shuqing fought for two hours and launched four attacks without results, and Lin Shuqing, who was very high-spirited, couldn't hold his breath anymore, and pressed all his belongings to strive for success in the first battle.
