Dian Fu stood up with his top hat and suddenly said to Kolchak: "Your Excellency, the war is long-term, not a matter of the length of a day, but more important is life, the lives of your followers. Man first has to survive before he can think about anything else. That reliable friend has little interest in your gold, and he hopes that the millions of Russian elites who follow you will survive, not only for Russia, but also for humanity. ”

When Kolchak heard this, he suddenly looked at Dian Fu with his eyes like torches, as if he had been told something, and Dian Fu did not speak again, but just bent down and bowed and turned to leave.

Just as the Russian civil war was in full swing, China's civil war was already sharpening its knives and was about to start.

"You are Sun Meiyao" At the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army in Xuzhou, Bai Chongxi, who had just been appointed chief of the General Staff of the Northern Expeditionary Army, looked at a Shandong man in front of him very calmly and said this.

This Shandong man named Sun Meiyao nodded: "Thank you to the brothers of the Youth Army for cleaning up Zhang Zongchang, the bandit soldier of the dog meat general, in Xuzhou, and avenging the villagers who died in the Yimeng Mountain area." ”

Bai Chongxi didn't speak, he knew about the Shandong people change the year before last. In fact, it was precisely because of this popular uprising that Tao Zhiyue, who was in charge of the combat mission in the Xuzhou area at that time, was able to calmly complete the deployment of troops, and Zhang Zongchang, who had already defeated Wu Peifu and invaded Henan, had to return to Shandong. It can be said that the final formation of the current pattern of military confrontation between the north and the south is inseparable from this popular uprising. However, the Youth Army was not particularly concerned about the final result of this popular uprising, because this popular uprising was indeed unplanned by them, and neither the Military Intelligence Bureau nor the Party Affairs Investigation Department participated in it at that time, and when they planned to send people to contact this rebel army, the popular rebellion had been extinguished by Zhang Zongchang's mobilization of the army with a thunderous force.

And Sun Meiyao's eldest brother Sun Meizhu was the leader of this civil uprising, and after three battles with Zhang Zongchang, the rebel army with a low combat level was naturally defeated by the Zhilu coalition army.

Sun Meizhu retreated towards the Jiaodong area with more than 2,000 people, but at this time the Japanese troops stationed in Qingdao were dispatched, and the two sides had an encounter in Zhucheng, and Sun Meizhu was killed by the Japanese army in this battle. The remnants of the men and horses fled back to the Yimeng Mountain area again under the leadership of Sun Meiyao, who was only 19 years old at the time, fortunately, the Zhilu coalition army had already attacked Xuzhou, so Sun Meiyao survived.

Then came the Battle of Xuzhou, which shocked the world, and the elite of the 20,000 Zhilu coalition army was completely annihilated by the young army in less than an hour with ferocious firepower. Sun Meiyao, who lacked food and clothing, established contact with agents of the Shandong Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and then obtained secret supplies from the south and successfully survived in the Yimeng Mountain area. The team has also expanded to the scale of 5,000 people, and it has gradually become a headache for Zhang Zongchang again.

This time, Bai Chongxi was ordered to organize the battle of Shandong, and as he was familiar with the art of war, it was naturally impossible for him to appoint the enemy, especially the Japanese army's logistics line, to be unimpeded, not to mention that according to the summary of the Japanese army's operations in the Far East, the Imperial Japanese Army, which claimed to be invincible, had no temper in the face of the Red Russian guerrillas. Therefore, this tactic can continue to be used in the Shandong region, as long as they find a way to control the location of the decisive battle far away from Qingdao, then the Japanese logistics line can only be passively extended, but who should be sent to undertake this sabotage task? Sun Meiyao, the head snake, is naturally the first choice.

"We plan to organize a guerrilla force in Shandong, and then use this guerrilla force to attack the logistics and supply of the Japanese army, and collect information on the deployment and movement of the Japanese army, and you and your team are the most suitable for the requirements of this guerrilla force, but I would like to know what you think, are you willing to do it?"

Although Sun Meiyao has not received formal military training, he still knows how to stand upright, and he saluted a standard military salute and said: "As long as it is an errand with little Japan, I will never give up my life." ”

Bai Chongxi nodded with satisfaction, his own life path has also gone up and down in the past two years, thinking about how majestic he was when he commanded more than 200,000 soldiers in Europe to defeat the German army two years ago. If it weren't for the fact that he finally kept his principles and did not participate in the assassination conspiracy, then the end of Liu Junqiang and the group of generals in the navy would be their own end.

However, Bai Chongxi's ambition can finally be controlled, so he did not take the last and most fatal step. And when Wang Zhenyu really killed someone, Bai Chongxi had a fear of Wang Zhenyu for the first time in his life, and it was a deep fear, and he woke up from nightmares for countless nights, in which groups of armed gendarmes wearing white armbands broke into the door and arrested him, or some people dressed in black suddenly shot at him. This is why Bai Chongxi has never had a good face for his guards, in his heart, these guards are all assigned by the Military Commission Guard Corps, they are all unreliable, and they can change from guards to arresters at any time.

Bai Chongxi spent more than half a year under tremendous psychological pressure, and it was not until Li Zongren, who returned from Europe to report on his work, had a deep chat with him all night that this negative mood was effectively alleviated.

This is followed by a year-long leisure time, but for Bai Chongxi, who escaped from danger, it is already very good to be able to save his life and treatment. Maybe it was really hard work, Bai Chongxi was finally remembered by Wang Zhenyu again, and was appointed as the chief of staff of the Northern Expeditionary Army again, and this time it was the real chief of staff, a full twenty divisions of troops were assigned to the command of the Northern Expeditionary Army, in addition to the air force and armored forces, it can be said that this is the first multi-arm combined operation since the establishment of the Youth Army. And the high-ranking generals who can command such a high-ranking general who has been fighting in the army are not more than five fingers except Wang Zhenyu himself, that is, General Staff Wan, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, etc. And the estimation that he is really capable of commanding such a large-scale synthetic operation is Bai Chongxi, in the year of leisure, Bai Chongxi did not give up on himself or seek peace with himself. If that is not Bai Chongxi, he is still like a professional soldier, going to the Wuhan Army University every day to listen to German instructors give lectures, and then taking advantage of the opportunity of being an active deputy general staff member to inspect the air force and armored units.

So this time, Bai Chongxi was once again given a heavy responsibility, responsible for this crucial battle related to the reunification of the motherland. This also made Bai Chongxi, who has always been arrogant, very cautious, so he still has great expectations for Sun Meiyao.

"Don't worry, Xiao Sun, this matter is not as simple as finding the Japanese to work hard. Specifically, it also involves the transformation of your current subordinates, so that they have basic military literacy, at least to achieve strict secrecy and a degree of advance and retreat, right? I have learned a lot about the situation of your team, not to mention that there is a big gap between it and the regular army, and even compared with the Japanese third-line baggage troops, the gap is not half a point. So the first one is to revamp your team, what do you think of it? ”

Sun Meiyao frowned unconsciously: "Chief of Staff Bai, this is indeed a problem, my team is different from the Youth Army, strictly speaking, it is a team that pulls up the pole, in addition to myself, there are dozens of leaders of all sizes, and it is basically difficult to make them as full of combat effectiveness as the army." However, I will definitely do my best to do this job well, please rest assured that Chief of General Staff Bai! ”

Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "I don't have any worries about your loyalty to the national government, but you can't do it by yourself to make good use of this army in your hands. Brutal and hard work will only complicate the situation, and attacking logistics and transportation lines will require a somewhat unscrupulous team to do it, and the regular army may not be able to do this work well. ”

Sun Meiyao was a little puzzled, and he asked softly, "What do you mean, Chief of Staff?" ”

Bai Chongxi said with a smile: "I will send a group of officers who are good at guerrilla warfare and mountain warfare to your troops, and at the same time change the equipment of your troops, you still have time, so you can hurry up and cooperate with these officers to complete the transformation of the troops under your command, you don't need to be in a hurry, you can't reach it quickly, understand?" ”

Sun Meiyao nodded to show that she understood, and then suddenly thought of something: "Chief of Staff Bai, when I came, I discussed with the big and small leaders in the village, and everyone was willing to be recruited by the Youth Army of the National Government, but it was just a matter of this number." ”

Bai Chongxi said proudly: "I have heard the report on this matter, the regular number of the Youth Army is not so easy to get, but it is not that you can't get the official number because you are born as a bandit, but to get the official number, you need to show your combat exploits with real guns, understand?" ”

Sun Meiyao nodded and said, "I understand, but what should our team be called to the outside world right now?" It's always inconvenient to recruit without a name."

Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "As soon as the war starts, you will erect the banner of resisting Japan and saving the country, as for the name, it will be called Shandong Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, you can consider the matter of recruiting troops and buying horses yourself, don't affect your completion of the task, the team is too mixed, it is not conducive to you to carry out the operation of breaking diplomatic relations behind enemy lines......"

Sun Meiyao was stunned, and immediately nodded and said, "I understand the humble position, I must pay attention." ”

Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "There is one thing you must understand, when this battle is over, the country will be reunified." Since it is the completion of reunification, it is natural that the existence of local warlords and separatist forces will not be allowed, and we must remember this point and do not move any bad intentions. ”
