Chapter 492: Almost "perfect" Wang Yaowu
Conference room of the Ministry of Defense.
Qin Wei sat on one side of the long table, and Wang Yaowu sat on the other side.
That's an interview.
But Qin Wei didn't speak since he sat down, just stared at Wang Yaowu all the time. This made Wang Yaowu a little hairy.
"Sir......
Wang Yaowu's psychological quality is very strong, but he always feels that Qin Wei's eyes seem to be able to see through his whole person. And this feeling has never been even when he faced Lao Jiang, He Yingqin, Qian Dajun, Xue Yue, Chen Cheng and others. This made him have a slight fear of Qin Wei at the beginning. But fortunately, after he spoke, Qin Wei finally spoke:
"Seriously, I've only seen one soldier like you."
"You've won a prize." Wang Yaowu bowed his head slightly and said humbly.
"It shouldn't be considered a prize," Qin Wei didn't look through the documents in front of him, "You don't have to guess who I compared you to, because that person is not Chinese." ”
"Huh?" Wang Yaowu was stunned. He was really thinking about who Qin Wei was comparing him with just now, there are so many generals in China, Qin Wei is a famous general, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Liangguang have all walked around a few times, and there must have been a lot of people who he has seen, and he can't think of who it will be for a while. But he didn't expect that what Qin Wei said was actually not Chinese...... Could it be that you are Japanese? Naturally, Wang Yaowu thought of the legendary Japanese captured generals who were imprisoned in Chongqing.
"It's not Japanese either." Qin Wei seemed to hear Wang Yaowu's heart, and shook his head again.
"......" Wang Yaowu chose to remain silent.
"The man's name is Dwight. David. Eisenhower," Qin Wei said lightly, "is an American colonel!" ”
"I've heard of this man." Wang Yaowu breathed a sigh of relief, not to compare it to the Japanese, of course. Even if it's like a Japanese, that's it. After all, putting aside the hostile relations between the two sides, there are still some generals in the Japanese who can fight: "I heard that this Colonel Eisenhower is the head of the US military observation mission?" ”
"Yes." Qin Wei nodded, "He's a capable person." It's a late bloomer. You're better than him at this point. …… But I told him that he was qualified to serve as president of the United States. ”
“…… Sir, you're kidding. Wang Yaowu laughed ugly twice and swallowed. It's not funny. At least he was not in the mood or the guts to look up to the presidency of China...... That's going to kill people.
"No kidding, you do have that qualification." Qin Wei sighed. He is really optimistic about this Wang Yaowu. In his opinion, if it weren't for the fact that Lao Jiang had to fight to the death with the Communist Party, Wang Yaowu might really have reached the peak one day, and even if he couldn't reach the pinnacle of China's power, it shouldn't be difficult for him to sit in He Yingqin's position. It can even be said that it is logical.
Because Wang Yaowu can not only fight, but also be a man.
Wang Yaowu is a third-term student of Huangpu. Rise in the Jiangxi Suppression of the Communist War. 1932 year. The 32nd Brigade to which he belonged was ordered to participate in the fourth encirclement and suppression, but was surrounded by the Red Army in Yihuang. At that time, the new brigade commander Bai Tianmin was ready to retreat, and Chiang Kai-shek also approved it, but Wang Yaowu persuaded the brigade commander not to retreat. Because the Red Army is good at sending reinforcements, good at field warfare, and abandoning the city for field warfare. It's better to stick to it. After the 32nd Brigade defended Yihuang for 24 days, the Red Army attacked the city many times, and fought fiercely in a row, but failed to take Yihuang in the end. Speaking of which. The Red Army's eight routes, all like this, can do anything, but they can't attack the city. It was not until the People's Liberation Army received the vigorous assistance of Lao Chiang, the "captain of the transport brigade", that the People's Liberation Army had sufficient siege capabilities. But at that time, there were really not many people who could see this fact clearly, and Wang Yaowu could see this, and he had to say that he was indeed very insightful.
In addition, Wang Yaowu also played against Fang Zhimin and Xun Huaizhou. These two, needless to say, Fang Zhimin, Xun Huaizhou has also been highly praised by Zhu De, Chen Yi and others, and he is a division commander who was killed on the battlefield. But these two Red Army generals, with two divisions, faced a brigade of Wang Yaowu at Tanjiaqiao, and they were defeated in a battle, and Xun Huaizhou was also killed. Since then, the situation of Fang Zhimin's department has deteriorated, and the environment has become increasingly difficult in the face of the Kuomintang's heavy pursuit. Fang Zhimin had to lead his troops to retreat to northeast Jiangxi, but was besieged in the Huaiyushan area, and the whole army was wiped out. Due to the betrayal of the traitor, Fang Zhimin was arrested and later reinstated in Nanchang. And in the entire Fang Zhimin department, only a few remnants of Su Yu were able to escape. This is the first time Wang Yaowu and Su Yu have played each other, and Wang Yaowu has won a big victory.
After that, the Anti-Japanese War broke out. Wang Yaowu shined even more. According to the original history, he should have led the 74th Army under his command to fight the 33rd and 34th divisions of the Japanese army and a mixed brigade in the Shanggao area at the beginning of this year. In this battle, the enemy army was equipped with more than 100 planes, more than 40 tanks, and a total of more than 40,000 people, but the final result was a great defeat. Under the leadership of Wang Yaowu, the 74th Army killed the commander of the Japanese major general, Iwanaga, and the captain of the Ozuo Wing, Hamada, annihilated more than 16,000 Japanese troops, shot down 1 enemy plane, captured more than 2,800 Japanese military horses, and countless heavy materials, and fought the "most wonderful battle since the Anti-Japanese War". After that, Wang Yaowu would also fight with the Japanese army in the two general battles of the Battle of Changde and the Battle of Xiangxi. In particular, in the Battle of Xiangxi, as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese troops participating in the war, Wang Yaowu led his army to kill and wound more than 27,000 Japanese soldiers, including 12,498 killed, and about 1,000 committed suicide in disappointment after being besieged by the national army. In this battle, the Nationalist Army completely annihilated one brigade and four wings of the Japanese army, severely damaged a division and regiment, captured 43 mortars, 13 howitzers, 5 mountain guns, 48 heavy machine guns, 240 light machine guns, 260 grenadiers, countless rifles, and also obtained 1,650 Japanese Yanmars. However, the casualties of the Nationalist army were only 20,660, of which 7,817 were killed, which was less than two-thirds of the casualties of the Japanese army, which was extremely rare in the entire War of Resistance against Japan. In addition, the Nationalist Army also captured more than 90 Japanese military flags, which was an immeasurable blow to the Japanese army, which attached great importance to the military flag. In the battle, 447 Japanese soldiers were captured, including 42 officers, which made the national army bigwigs, including He Yingqin and others, even more shocked, because the national army had never had so many Japanese prisoners. The victory in the Battle of Xiangxi can be said to be the prelude to the Chinese counteroffensive against Japan on the battlefield, and it is an extremely wonderful stroke in Wang Yaowu's entire military career.
Wang Yaowu performed extremely brilliantly in the entire process of the War of Resistance Against Japan, because of his outstanding military exploits, there is a saying that "it is better to meet the king of Hades, than to meet the old king". Li Xianzhou, Li Yannian, and Li Yutang in the first phase of Huangpu were all famous generals at that time, and they were all Wang Yaowu's seniors, but they also became the stepping stones that reflected Wang Yaowu's ability in people's mouths, and they were called "three Li is not as good as one king".
And now, although there was Qin Wei's disturbance, the Japanese did not have enough troops and did not launch the Battle of Shanggao, but Wang Yaowu also led the army to make great contributions in large-scale battles such as the Battle of Nanchang and the Battle of Changsha.
Of course, these are just feats. Although in the same period, there are not even a few Whampoa students at the higher levels who can compare with Wang Yaowu, but in the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, the national army still has many fierce generals, fierce generals, and wise generals who can fight and fight. But I am afraid that these people may not be able to mix like Wang Yaowu in the national government where corruption is everywhere, but they sink into themselves and hardly fall into pollution.
In other words, Wang Yaowu is not corrupt, second, he does not accept bribes, third, he does not drink soldiers' blood, and fourth, he does not violate military discipline...... But he can have a good relationship with the people around him and many bosses.
This is an extremely rare talent in these years. In Qin Wei's view, this is also the person who can do practical things.
What's more, Wang Yaowu's position is also appreciated by Qin Wei.
Not to mention anything else, during the Second Northern Expedition, Wang Yaowu's troops were ordered to attack Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang's troops. But at this time, the Japanese came forward to shelter Zhang Zongchang and sent troops to intervene, creating the "May Third Tragedy" that shocked China and foreign countries. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek was deeply afraid of triggering a Sino-Japanese war, and although he had a regular army of 200,000 men, he did not dare to deal with the Japanese invading army with less than 10,000 men, so he ordered a detour to the north. When the Northern Expeditionary Army was ordered to evacuate Jinan, Wang Yaowu intended to stay in the city wall and cooperate with Li Yannian's regiment to defend Jinan. He later wrote in his "Self-Statement": "I was very reluctant to quit at that time, and I once insisted on asking my superiors to fight back against the Japanese invaders, but I was not allowed, and I was full of anger and reluctantly withdrew from Jinan. ”
Qin Wei believed that Wang Yaowu was not lying. Because his exploits in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression reflected this firm national feeling.
Externally, Wang Yaowu is another performer. During the Liberation War, during the Battle of Jinan, facing his subordinates, he said: "This is different from resisting Japan, and there is no need to germinate the idea of suicide"! …… His family fights for family property, and he doesn't need to fight for his life.
It can be said that if he was not born in the Kuomintang, if the leader of the Kuomintang was not Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Yaowu would almost have a chance to become a "perfect man".
……
"Brave in battle and not blindly strong, know how to face the enemy's opportunities; She is sociable and good at relationships...... It's that you've evaded taxes by more than a few million, which isn't good. ”
"Sir——?" Wang Yaowu was shocked, "I, I...... You haven't missed that much tax, have you? ”
"In other words, you admit that you have evaded taxes?" Qin Wei said with a smile.
"It's a little bit, but it's ......" Wang Yaowu grimaced. He was originally a worker and a clerk, and the reason why he applied for the Huangpu military application was that he felt that with the identity of a soldier as a cover, he would not be bullied if he opened a store again. But I didn't expect that after joining the army, it would not be out of control, and it would be mixed up to today. Besides, in the big dye vat of the national government, he does not eat empty quotas, second, does not drink the blood of soldiers, third, does not take bribes, and does not change some other way to make money, how can he have relations with others?
"Well, no one takes you seriously." Qin Wei waved his hand, "Let's talk about it, if you come to be the commander or even the commander of this airborne army, how do you arrange Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian?" ”
"Huh?" (To be continued......)
