There is also a reason why He Yingqin was asked to talk to Du Yuming, that is, He Yingqin also has the identity of a southwester, and there is an inexplicable relationship between He Yingqin and Liu Yuan.

In fact, Chiang Kai-shek didn't know anything at all, Du Yuming stayed in Wuhan for more than half a month, and the idle bird's eggs were broken, but he just didn't take a step forward.

"The losses of the Central Army are too great, and there has been a serious shortage of troops on the battlefield, and if we continue to fight, our old roots are gone, but the equipment of other troops is too poor, and they have no ability to fight at all, so don't Liu Yuan have three group armies without names? A telegram was sent to Liu Yuan, giving him the numbers of the two group armies, and the commander was chosen by himself. But he had to get his men to go to war for me. Chiang Kai-shek sighed and said that it would be a mistake to let him down.

If the central authorities let them fight, they would have no excuse at all, and if the war was tight, they would all have to come out of Sichuan, and it would not be a very difficult thing for the central authorities to control Sichuan, which had no heavy troops.

Now it seems that giving Liu Yuan two numbers is a big radish, but this mallet in the future is absolutely fatal, Bai Chongxi shook his head slightly, thinking that this Chiang Kai-shek is really ruthless enough, and it is sad that the Gui Department can only go a few rounds under his hands, but Liu Yuan gave his teacher to cooperate with each other and shoot each other, and he was able to hold on for so long.

"It would be nice if the Guards Corps could be transferred out, it would be a rapid reaction force built by Liu Yuan, with four airborne divisions, two artillery divisions, one cavalry division, two armored divisions, one Guards Army, and three special forces, which is definitely a force that can influence the situation on the battlefield." Chen Lifu said on the side that he was in charge of intelligence work and had a certain understanding of Liu Yuan's troops.

"If you ask Liu Yuan to investigate the Guards Corps, it is estimated that the southwest and northwest will be in chaos immediately, that is the root of his life, it is with this army that Tibet can be shaken in the west and Myanmar in the south, and this army will not be able to move." Yang Yongtai said lightly on the side, he also reminded Chiang Kai-shek that Liu Yuan had his own family business and his independence after all.

"Don't use what you don't need, don't eat what you can't eat, but fighting a war is the same as living, it's okay to die, but you have to listen to the head of the family," Chiang Kai-shek continued, "Where has the 35th Army gone?" ”

"The marching speed of the 35th Group Army is very fast, and the marching route has always been under the control of the General Staff, but He Dabeard listens to Liu Yuan, and without Liu Yuan's words, it is impossible to let them go to the battlefield." Bai Chongxi said.

"What about Liu Yuan? Let Liu Yuan come to see me! Chiang Kai-shek said dissatisfied.

"I went back to the southwest, and the old man of his family was not in good health, so it was said that he was going to rush to see the old man's last look." Chen Lifu lowered his head and said, he didn't believe the news anyway.

"Sick? The old man of his family listens to the drama every day, and he is sick no matter how he says he is sick. Chiang Kai-shek could not believe this result, so he said to Chen Lifu, "Send a telegram to Jingguo, ask him to go to see the old man for me, and let him be ready to go to the battlefield no matter what." ”

He Yingqin felt that this time Chiang Kai-shek was acting a bit of a villain, the old man was sick, and he sent his son to find out the truth. Bai Chongxi also asked, "If the old man really can't do it, then let him go to the battlefield?" Liu Yuan is a person who values family affection. ”

Chiang Kai-shek took a breath and said, "He is wearing filial piety, and he is going to the battlefield to fight for me, and the country and the family always have to make a choice." ”

Yang Yongtai shook his head, the world says that Liu Yuan and Chiang Kai-shek understand each other and support each other, so that the party-state can come to this point, now it seems that Liu Yuan understands Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek really doesn't know Liu Yuan, if Chiang Kai-shek says it well, and even goes to the southwest in person, even if he doesn't let Liu Yuan go to the battlefield, Liu Yuan will go to the battlefield again.

"Our chief of staff went to serve his old man, but he said well in the war, he can't fight on the North China Plain, I think I will follow what he said, give up North China, and fight in Shanxi." When Chiang Kai-shek mentioned the war, the others immediately listened attentively, and he understood that although Chiang Kai-shek scolded his students in his mouth, he still listened to his students' opinions in his heart.

Bai Chongxi added on the side, "Since we can't fight them to the death in North China, but we can't let them get it too easily, I suggest that Yang Jingyu and Pan Xingguang in the northeast be transferred, they know the Red Party's guerrilla warfare methods very well, if there is Yang Jingyu and them, they will definitely be able to achieve the purpose of consuming the enemy's vitality, and at the same time buy time for the main force to assemble in Niangziguang and Yanmenguang." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said, "Yang Jingyu is impossible, transfer Pan Xingguang, that can be regarded as a veteran under Liu Yuan, give him the number of the army commander, and Song Zheyuan let them find a way to delay time." In addition, Wei Lihuang was appointed deputy commander of the Second Theater, Zhu De was promoted to commander of the 18th Group Army, and he was sent to the Second Theater within a time limit. ”

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he could be regarded as finalizing the war in the north, and then asked He Yingqin, "How is Shanghai, and has Chen Cixiu made any progress?" ”

He Yingqin's face was not very good, he hesitated there for a while, and did not speak, Chiang Kai-shek saw He Yingqin's hesitation at a glance, so he said to He Yingqin, "Is it Luodian and Dachang who missed, if they were lost so quickly, I would shoot Chen Cixiu." Chiang Kai-shek said nervously.

He Yingqin said, "It is not enough to lose, but Matsui Shigen mobilized the navy, land and air forces to launch a fierce attack on Luodian, and the troops defending Luodian suffered extremely heavy losses, Huang Wei's division lost more than one-half, and the 57th division lost more than two-thirds, and now there are only more than 4,000 troops who can fight. ”

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and said, "No, I remember Liu Yuan bragged to me, saying that he released a tiger in Baoshan and sent three thousand wolves to the tiger, how could the little devil take Baoshan so quickly." ”

"Chairman of the committee, because of the needs of the war, Commander Chen transferred out 2,500 people in Baoshan, and there were less than 500 guards in Baoshan, and Yao Ziqing, the guard general sent by Liu Yuan to Baoshan, was indeed a tiger general, personally led 500 soldiers, fought with the enemy for two days and nights, annihilated 1,200 enemies, and there were only more than 20 people left around him. He Yingqin had a trace of tears in his eyes.

Xinhua News Agency and the reporters who reported said that the national army could not have the heart to resist Japan, but who remembered the names of those warriors who died in battle.

"The whale crocodile Lang shook the dangerous city, and it was all up to me to fight to the death. Five hundred athletes were martyred, and China was more than a field. Posthumously present this disciple of mine, Major General, the country is in danger, and I can only do so much for him. After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he motioned to He Yingqin to continue.

The Japanese army launched a strong attack on Duyuepu all the way, trying to open the passage between Shakou and Wusong, but although the situation was difficult, the key positions were in our hands, and Zhang Zhizhong had already retreated from the city to the west of Suzhou Creek with his troops. However, the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops is already in a worrying stage, and their attrition is too great.

"Didn't Xue Yue's two group armies arrive? Hu Zongnan's First Army is also good, why is there a shortage of troops? Chiang Kai-shek looked at everyone suspiciously, he didn't know what He Yingqin was hesitating about.

Seeing that He Yingqin was still hesitating, Bai Chongxi knew that the Xi'an incident last time had a shadow on him, so he asked, "Liu Yuan and I have discussed, saying that Shanghai's strategic purpose has been achieved, and now there are eight divisions of the Japanese army in Shanghai, more than 200,000 people, and if we fight them in Shanghai, is it worth it?" "This is the first time that someone other than Liu Yuan dared to openly question Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek's face suddenly became ugly.
