In May of the 18th year of the Republic of China, the three major warlords of Jiang, Feng and Yan were still inevitably fighting together, and the entire Central China region was beaten into a pot of porridge, and the two armies of Jiang and Feng in Hubei were evenly matched, and the two sides won and lost each other, and the Feng army in Henan was empty, and the Jin army of Yan Xishan took the opportunity to sneak attack and succeeded in one fell swoop, and Zheng County and Kaifeng and other important towns in Henan fell into the hands of the Jin army.

Feng Yuxiang immediately fell into the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts, and his troops stationed in southern Shaanxi Zhang Weixi and Liu Ruming were far away from Longhai Road because of the southward mountain road, and they had to go over the mountains and mountains to get out of the pass, and they had to walk, so the march was extremely slow, and they missed the Hubei War but were blessed by misfortune and the three armies of Yan Xishan's Jin army, Sun Chu, Yang Xiaoou, and Guan Fu'an, and Henan also started a battle.

The military represented by Li Zejun strongly advocated taking advantage of the situation to send troops in order to obtain the greatest benefits, but the civil officials of the government with He Siyuan sternly opposed the mobilization of troops on the grounds of stability, and the opinions of the two sides were divided and irreconcilable, and even among the military that sent troops, there were two different opinions in opposing directions.

Li Zejun thought that he should take advantage of the situation to send troops to Henan, seize the strategic place in the Central Plains, and increase the weight of Shandong in the country in the future, but Zhao Donghai, the commander of the road protection army, did not think so, he believed that the Jin army was determined to win Henan this time, and rashly sending troops to Henan would only cause unnecessary friction with Yan Xishan, and although the Jin army attacked Henan, it did not exhaust all its forces, and Xu Yongchang's troops in Hebei did not move, looking at the south, and the Shandong army cleverly took the Jinpu Road in Hebei, which originally belonged to them. This feud is also a difficult knot to solve.

The Shandong army is already small, once it enters Henan, it will inevitably be empty inside, and if Xu Yongchang's troops drive directly from Hebei to Jinan, then Shandong will be in a critical situation.

Wu Xiaoliang held a meeting for several days and it was difficult to reach a consensus, so he had to put the matter of sending troops on hold for the time being, he also thought that it was not appropriate to send troops at this time, although he tried his best to prevent the birth of the war, but the matter was inevitable and not pedantic to deliberately avoid the war like Song Xianggong, he would not choose to escape, but he would not act rashly, he would be responsible for the 50,000 Shandong army, and he would be responsible for the tens of millions of Shandong people.

In the evening, several middle- and high-ranking generals of the army, including Jize, Li Zejun, Li Youting, and Zhao Donghai, came to Wu Xiaoliang's residence one after another, hoping to discuss a definite result, whether Shandong would defend itself or send troops to intervene in the warlord war, and they hoped to find out Wu Xiaoliang's true thoughts.

"Chairman, there will be losers in the battle between Jiang, Feng, and Yan, and this is a great opportunity for us to expand our influence in the Central Plains, and it would be a pity if we hesitate to delay and miss it."

Although there are internal disputes in the military, they are all in favor of sending troops, Zhao Donghai, the commander of the Jinpu Road Escort Army, who rarely advises in ordinary times, was the first to say impatiently, and the rest of them all nodded in agreement, hoping that Wu Xiaoliang would make up his mind as soon as possible.

Of course, Wu Xiaoliang understood the intentions of these people, but now was not the best time to send troops, and explained: "Don't be impatient, at this time, the morale of the Feng and Yan armies is flourishing, and our Shandong soldiers are outnumbered, and they are all new recruits, and they can't withstand the consumption of the sea of people, so we need to wait for them to be vigorous, and then decline, and then exhaustion, and then see the right time, so that we can succeed with one blow at the smallest cost." ”

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Chairman Wu was in favor of sending troops, and Li Zejun was anxious and asked, "But I don't know when I have to wait." ”

Wu Xiaoliang glanced at Li Zejun and said with a smile: "After so many years of training, Qianting has not been worn out, wait, sooner or later, you will be useful, don't let me down when the time comes." ”

He also had to plan well, in the Central Plains War in the previous life, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan joined forces to deal with Jiang Zhongzheng, and Jiang Zhongzheng was not bad enough to deal with the two major warlords after the alliance, and finally Zhang Xueliang, who was entrenched in the northeast, sent troops to enter the customs and support Chiang Kai-shek, which caused the collapse of the Feng Yan coalition army, which also established Jiang Zhongzheng's absolute dominant position in the national government.

But now it is the three families fighting separately, Jiang Feng War, Feng Yan War, it is still Feng Yuxiang who suffers the most, and is in the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts, Jiang and Yan have their own advantages, and there is a lot of room for turnaround, Zhang Xueliang, the security commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, who played a pivotal role in the Central Plains War in the previous life, was marginalized, and I am afraid that the two families will not be usedXu Yongchang's three divisions defended the Northeast Army in the north, but only one mixed brigade was scattered along the Jinpu Road in Hebei.

Seeing that Wu Xiaoliang originally agreed to send troops, everyone immediately became interested, and suggested the route of sending troops, just like during the day, one side advocated Hebei, and the other side advocated Henan, only Shantai Jize, silent, and waited for everyone to fight tired before clearing his throat, and said in a low voice:

"The main seat, the prototype transported from the north has been organized into an army, there is a regiment size, after March, there should be a fighting force."

"Oh."

Wu Xiaoliang frowned, this thing is the killer weapon of the Shandong army, good steel must be used on the blade, not lightly, but there is one thing that he is very worried about, that is, the problem of fuel.

"Diesel reserves are enough for a war effort."

Yutai Jize sighed, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Under the purchase of all parties, there are some reserves, and the needs of the tenth day can be met." ”

What the two said was ambiguous, and everyone listened to it with little understanding, and they didn't understand what they were saying, what prototype car, what diesel, and they were confused.

"The old Xi'er of Tantai is chattering about what he is talking about, and everyone is also open-minded."

Li Zejun has worked with Tantai Jize for many years, although sometimes he can't look at his style, but he is convinced of this old Xi'er's work ability.

Yutai Jize smiled, "This matter is handled by the main seat, and I am just the executor, why not let the main seat talk about the mystery." ”

So, everyone looked at Wu Xiaoliang with curiosity

Regarding this top-secret project, the secret work was carried out secretly for more than three months, and Wu Xiaoliang saw several of his generals, but he didn't even hear the slightest rumor, and he couldn't help but admire the strictness of the secrecy work of the Zetai Jize.

This time, he originally planned to report the situation of the tank unit to several senior and middle-ranking military officers, because it involved the cooperation of the infantry in the following actual combat exercises, so in order to form combat strength as soon as possible, cooperative training was already imminent.
