The war was finally imminent, and Jiang Zheng finally slowed down his attack on Jiangxi, perhaps the balance of trouble in Lao Jiang's heart was tipping towards him little by little. Feng and Yan Rat, although Yan Xishan telegraphed to support reconciliation, he just used his mouth to add blockage to Lao Jiang at a critical moment, and Feng Yuxiang wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob. These two people can't point to it, and now the only one who is likely to stand on his side is Zhang Xueliang, although Zhang Xueliang's words flickered and wandered when he was in Pukou, but in the end he still agreed half-pushed and half-agreed, and he would not make a big move on the Shandong side, at most he would wait and see and not help each other.

In this way, he may be able to transfer Yang Xiaoou's Second Army south from the northern defense line to support the 17th Division, which was fighting the border of Shandong, Henan and Hui. However, he still has to be sure to feel at ease, otherwise there is a joint that is life and death.

Wu Xiaoliang lost interest in continuing to play, and asked the adjutant:

"Has Deputy Commander Zhang arrived in Nanjing?"

"I'm still in Pukou, and I'm not in a hurry to cross the river into Beijing!"

"Send a telegram and ask him if he has made up his mind."

"Yes!"

The adjutant was ordered to go to the telegraph room to deliver telegrams, and the shortwave radio they carried with them was not a problem to reach Pukou District, but the other party did not reply for a long time. Until the evening, the urgent telegram was photographed three times, but there was still no reply.

Yu Sanhe, the captain of the guard who followed Wu Xiaoliang south, rubbed his hands anxiously, half as if talking to himself, and half as if comforting:

"Could it be that Deputy Commander Zhang's subordinates were greedy and mistaken and delayed our telegram?"

Wu Xiaoliang even thought about it during the day, but after it got dark, he had completely broken this hope, and he understood that this was Zhang Xueliang's silent refusal. I'm afraid that after tonight, maybe his Northeast Army should attack Jinan in a big way tonight!

……

Zhang Xueliang, deputy commander of the 6th Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army in Jiangbei, was temporarily stationed, Zhang Zuoxiang was not there, Zhang Xueliang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and no one could question his decision, and in the afternoon Wu Xiaoliang sent three urgent telegrams in a row, and at the same time, the news that Jiang Zheng's army had attacked Wu Xiaoliang also came. The matter is big, and he finally didn't want to be dictatorial alone, so he called his confidant Ai Yu Xuezhong.

"Wu Wei sent a telegram again, according to the opinion of the Marquis of Xiao, which side should the Northeast Army stand on?"

Yu Xuezhong's eyes sparkled, and he replied without hesitation:

"Dashuai has already made up his mind, why bother asking Xuezhong again, but since Dashuai asks from this, Xuezhong's answer is to stand on the side of the winner!"

Good one is on the side of the winner, which side is the winner? Blind people can see that the Nanjing Nationalist Government led by the chairman of the National People's Congress is the Zhengshuo of the Republic of China, and it has hundreds of thousands of people under its jurisdiction under the central army, and it is far superior to Wu Xiaoliang in Shandong in terms of financial resources and troops, so the victory or defeat was decided long before the war.

Zhang Xueliang's eyes tightened and continued to ask.

"Xiaohou belongs to Nanjing?"

At this time, Yu Xuezhong no longer wanted to speak and stopped flickering, and began to be straightforward.

"Xuezhong's opinion, of course, is to beat the water dog with Nanjing, and it is to do it immediately, if the overall situation has been decided, I am afraid that the Northeast Army will only have to drink soup. But if you start now, then the situation will be different, and when the time comes, when you take Shandong in one fell swoop, who will dare to underestimate our Northeast Army? ”

Yu Xuezhong's breathing shortness and face began to redden, and as he looked forward to the future battle, he became more and more excited.

……

At Wu Xiaoliang's temporary residence in Nanjing, Zhang Xueliang finally replied at eight o'clock in the evening. Yu Sanhe entered the room excitedly with a telegram, Wu Xiaoliang thought about the current battle situation for a whole afternoon, he finally figured it out, and refocused his hopes on his own family, counting on outsiders is unreliable after all, the two forces join forces, they are all interested, and if they are peaceful, they will gather, and if they do not disagree, they will disperse, and they can't be expected to risk sacrificing their own families to rescue themselves, this idea is too naïve and unrealistic.

"Commander, Deputy Commander Zhang called back, he agreed, stay between us and Lao Jiang, just wait and see, don't help......"

Wu Xiaoliang finally breathed a sigh of relief, if this news was sent in the afternoon, I am afraid he would jump up happily, but at this time, his joints have been figured out, Zhang Xueliang's appearance on the wall is just the icing on the cake, and the final success or failure depends on whether he is hard enough.

Yang Xiaoou's second army was finally able to relieve the difficulty and go south, Wu Xiaoliang drafted several telegrams in one breath, and made decisive arrangements for the entire battle situation. However, there is a question about Sanhe from beginning to end. In his imagination, Wu Xiaoliang should be very excited after learning that the Northeast Army had finally fulfilled its initial promise, but he only saw a faint response in his expression, and even the feeling that it should be so. But in the afternoon, Zhang Xueliang was silent, and Yu Sanhe obviously felt the anxiety in Wu Xiaoliang's heart.

How can a change in mindset be so great in one afternoon? Although he was coarse on the surface, he was actually quite delicate in his heart, and he was also extremely sensitive to many details, otherwise Li Zejun would not have sent him as the captain of Wu Xiaoliang's guard to escort him all the way to Nanjing.

Although Yu Sanhe was aware of Wu Xiaoliang's changes before and after, he also knew what to ask and what not to ask, but what shocked him was that Wu Xiaoliang ordered one after another, this is simply taking risks and gambling, and it is the kind of gamble that is desperate, and if you don't win, you won't lose.

Wu Xiaoliang ordered the Gu Zhu army in Xuchang to do something, Guan Bingyan's armored brigade and cavalry division attacked overnight, and the main force of Li Youting's division was in charge of attacking its north and south, and at the same time, only a partial division was assigned to monitor Feng Yuxiang's troops. The Battle of Henan will begin from this.

The situation in Shandong was even more alarming to him, and the Second Army marched into Anhui to reinforce Dong Haibin's 17th Division, striving to nail Chen Cheng's 11th Division firmly to Anhui and not to enter Shandong for half a step. This was not the end, Li Zejun's 57th Division was fully mobilized, crossing the river and launching a surprise attack on the Northeast Army on the opposite bank.

"Division...... Commander, didn't Deputy Commander Zhang agree to watch from the wall? We...... Isn't it ...... for us to do this?"

Wu Xiaoliang tilted his head and smiled, he admired it very much because he had fought well in the battle of Sanhe Songhu Fortress, so he attached great importance to it on weekdays, and discussed the current situation with him from time to time, so he dared to question his orders. However, Wu Xiaoliang is not the kind of person who is arbitrary, and many times he even encourages his subordinates to question their decisions, so that they can consciously cultivate the habit of looking at problems and focusing on the overall situation.

"Are you saying it's unjust for us to do this?"

"Commander Hui, yes...... Yes! ”

The answer was very crisp, and it was clearly a reversal.

Wu Xiaoliang smiled and asked rhetorically:

"Then tell me, if it were you who commanded the battle, how would this order be given?"

"This ......"

Yu Sanhe raised his right hand and touched the back of his head, a little blind, embarrassed to smile, he had never thought about this question, but it would never be wrong to be true to his word, otherwise who would dare to form an alliance with him in the future?

Wu Xiaoliang couldn't help but feel funny when he looked like this, the iron-blooded man who was killed in the rain of bullets and gunpowder could still have such a demeanor.

"Previously, intelligence 6 continued to point out that the Northeast Army telegraphed to promote cooperation, but the strength of troops on the north bank of the Yellow River did not decrease but increased. Did you know that just last night another brigade left Beijing Nanyuan and headed south? What does this mean? ”

Yu Sanhe really didn't think deeply, these telegrams were mixed with hundreds of telegrams every day, he had the impression but did not use them at this time, his heart suddenly chuckled, in the morning telegram, there was a report from Jinan about the freezing of the Yellow River.

When the Yellow River froze, the barrier in front of the Northeast Army disappeared, and the large army could directly step on the frozen river and attack on the south bank. If...... If you don't take precautions, once the Northeast Army crosses the river, the Jinan side will be empty of troops, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, Yu Sanhe suddenly thought of a suspicious place, that is, they took three urgent telegrams, but it was not until ten hours after the first urgent telegram passed that the Northeast Army replied, isn't the ten hours of delay very intriguing?

"No wonder the commander asked the division commander to attack immediately!"

Yu Sanhe suddenly realized.

Wu Xiaoliang raised his wrist and looked at the time, "At eight o'clock, your division commander's first shot should have been fired, Han Qing should jump to his feet angrily......"

……

"What? Dingfang's two brigades couldn't stand it, how could this be? ”

Zhang Xueliang's voice was a little distorted, or a little trembling and sharp. He didn't expect that the delaying plan he discussed with Yu Xuezhong was actually seen through by Wu Xiaoliang, and in order to delay the time, he deliberately delayed for a few hours before replying to the phone, but he didn't expect that Wu Xiaoliang still took the lead. According to the habit, Zhang Xueliang used the early morning as the time to attack, while Wu Xiaoliang played his cards completely out of common sense and chose the bastard time of eight and two minutes.

What's even more bastard is that in order to prepare for the battle at three o'clock in the morning, Wang Yizhe specially ordered the main attacking troops to rest in place, leaving only the strategic troops to monitor the south bank. Under these circumstances, the Shandong army attacked without warning, and suddenly there were thousands of artillery on the south bank, and tons of shells were poured down on the positions of the Northeast Army like hailstones, and they were completely unable to raise their heads until the shelling stopped, and the sound of a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis sounded on the south bank.

Wang Yizhe has never seen such a defeated artillery unit, the shells are like no money, the Northeast Army is known for its infantry and artillery cooperation, but it has never been like this! After sighing, he was horrified that his team had difficulty organizing a defense line in a short period of time. As the main attacking troops were resting before, they were all in disarray as soon as the shelling began, and within an hour of that, both senior and junior officers lost control of the troops and were helpless.

And, after the shelling is over, this situation continues like inertia. Therefore, after the two armies came into contact with the white blade, the Northeast Army could no longer withstand the melee for an hour with its large number of people......
