Chapter 366: Chief Yan treats guests

Today, the meeting is still held, but the content of the meeting revolves around how to attack the Shaanxi and Gansu base areas and the Red Army, and how to deploy troops.

On the wall is a huge military map of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region, and from time to time high-ranking generals walk over and explain how to deploy troops and clarify their plans, Tang Qiuli watched this scene with great interest.

It turns out that history is not all true, and the military conference is full of an atmosphere of military democracy, where everyone can speak freely, express their own opinions, come up with combat plans, and evaluate other people's plans, which is a bit similar to today's bidding.

And Chairman Jiang just listened attentively and did not express any opinions, these ** senior generals who dared to come up with their own plans are all veterans of the battlefield with great military talents, not all of them are straw bales as the legend says, the strange thing is that against the ** Red Army, but repeatedly suffered defeats, what is the reason for this? Tang Qiuli couldn't understand it, and it was estimated that Chairman Jiang had been pondering.

On the issue of encircling and suppressing the Red Army, Tang Qiuli was Xu Shu who entered Cao Ying, and he didn't say a word, anyway, everyone didn't count on him, and last night, he was still worried about Chairman Jiang and asked him about the strategy for fighting the Red Army.

That will make him very embarrassed, if he really follows the encirclement and suppression plan he formulated, the Red Army will only end up being annihilated, and he knows too much about the characteristics and combat methods of the Red Army, and every step of the plan is aimed at their weaknesses.

If you make an encirclement and suppression plan that does not conform to reality, then you have to arrange for **deliberately walking into the trap of **Red Army, and the one who will suffer defeat will definitely suffer heavy losses.

How can Tang Qiu be embarrassed to leave his feelings, and how can he bear it if he has the heart? Fortunately, Chairman Chiang did not mention a word, and Tang Qiuli was also greatly relieved, hoping that this battle would not be fought.

The military meeting was held for another whole day, so that Tang Qiuli had a very thorough understanding of the combat style and inherent ideas of that era, and after fierce debate, General Wei Lihuang's combat plan was affirmed by everyone, especially Chairman Jiang.

Wei Lihuang's operational plan, drawing on the experience of previous failures in suppressing the Communist Party, can be summed up as follows: Forming three attack corps, all the way with Yan Xishan's Jin Army as the mainstay, with five divisions of the Central Army, crossing the Yellow River from Liulin in Shanxi to the west, and pressing the ** Red Army from the northeast.

All the way, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army and Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army were the mainstay, with the Central Army of eight divisions, marching north from the direction of Xi'an, approaching the area of Yan'an, where the ** is located.

All the way, the Central Army of the remaining 17 divisions, as the main attack corps, marched north from the direction of Baoji, with the main purpose of seizing Yan'an, the nest of the communist bandits.

The three-way attack corps, with the Central Army's assault corps as the mainstay, took the lead in launching the attack, and the remaining two-way attack corps followed up, and after the Central Army's attack corps launched an attack, it was put into battle.

The three-way army is in a fan-shaped offensive, and all units must not disperse their forces, and take pressing and oppression step by step as the main mode of operation, so as not to be seized by the Zhumao Red Army as in previous encirclement and suppression, and each one will be defeated.

Wei Lihuang particularly emphasized that the main purpose of this attack on the bandit army was to destroy its foothold in northern Shaanxi, with the elimination of its vital forces as the secondary operational goal, in a word, to drive the bandit army to the desert and the Gobi barbaric land deep in the northwest.

At the beginning of last year, the troops of the Northwest Five Horses eliminated the sweetness of the communist army's western expeditionary forces, which made the memories of these senior officers of the central system still fresh in their minds.

This is the modern version of the siege of three missing one, not in a hurry to fight you, just to squeeze you out of the foothold, and it is an iron bucket-like formation, so that the Red Army can drill without gaps, so that the return army of the five horses in the northwest will fight hard with you.

The five horses in the northwest are all extremely protective wolves, and the Red Army ran to their doorstep, and they still didn't risk their lives to fight the Red Army? When they were almost finished, the Third Route Army then swept away the remnants of the communist army, and the battle was decided.

Wei Lihuang's battle plan, can not be described as not thorough, and extremely vicious, not in a hurry to fight, is to use superior forces to press you step by step to a dead end, Wei Lihuang's plan, once implemented, with the first Red Army labor division expedition, exhausted tens of thousands of troops, but also a gradual retreat, in the end, you have to fight to the death with the local troops of the five horses in the northwest.

Fortunately, Tang Qiuli knew history, such a thing could not happen at all, otherwise, he would have died in a hurry, no matter how good the equipment he used to aid the Red Army, he couldn't stand the difference of dozens of times the number of troops, and there were more ants biting elephants, not to mention, the 300,000 Central Army was not a small ant.

Before the meeting was dismissed, Chairman Chiang had asked him to go to Xi'an with him, but Tang Qiuli delayed it on the grounds that he would return to Beiping first, give an account of military affairs, and go to the northwest to take up his post with confidence.

He knew Tang Qiuli's thoughts, Xi'an was about to become a powder keg, and he didn't want to be Zhang Yang's prisoner, and in a few days, an earth-shattering event would happen in Xi'an.

In the evening, Yan Xishan, who has always been low-key and calculating, suddenly sent his close adjutant to send two invitations to him and Mei Ting to a small private banquet.

Tang Qiuli didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Yan chief, who was known for being calculating? However, the invitations were all delivered to him, and it would be rude if he didn't go, and he would offend him, so he and Mei Ting dressed up and sat in the car to pick them up.

When I arrived at the place, I entered the room and saw that it was indeed the small private banquet Yan Xishan said, plus him and Mei Ting, but there were only five of them.

Yan Xishan, who is the east, and two others he is also very familiar with, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, seeing him and Mei Ting arrive, the three of them hurriedly got up and insisted on letting Tang Qiuli sit on the top, today's Tang Qiuli's identity is not ordinary, and his position and status are higher than the three of them.

Tang Qiu is willing to follow there, so he doesn't do this kind of stupid thing that harms others and himself, what do you want to do in this false name? To die is to save face and suffer sin.

After some pushing, Tang Qiuli insisted on sitting at the bottom, and let tonight's owner, Chief Yan, sit on the top, he noticed that Zhang Yang and the others had nothing, but Chief Yan's face showed a look of relief, although it was fleeting, but he was keenly captured.

Pushing to sit at the top is just a kind of politeness, if Tang Qiuli claims to be an identity and doesn't know how to be humble, Zhang Yang and the two are nothing, Yan Xishan must be unhappy in his heart, for the hairy boy to suddenly occupy a high position and climb on his head, he is not very convinced, and he sees Tang Qiuli so arrogant.

I probably started to think about it in my stomach, how to give this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, a few tricks, and a few stumbling blocks, so that Tang Qiuli doesn't ask for trouble.

There is a kind of person who tries not to offend if he can, otherwise, it will be a constant trouble, which will give you a headache, He Yingqin, the Minister of Military Affairs, Dai Li, the director of the Military Control Bureau, is one, and the Yan Xishan Yan Chief in front of him, who seems to be harmless to humans and animals, has a simple smile, and is like a rich man in the countryside of Shanxi.

Yan Xishan first raised his glass, pointing out the purpose of this private gathering, nothing else, everyone is begging for a life on the ground in North China, Pingjin is separated by Taihang Mountain, and Shaanxi is separated by a Yellow River, speaking of which, everyone is a close neighbor, inseparable from the north and south of the Yellow River, the east and west of Taihang Mountain.

Today, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang Gao Sheng, I, Yan Xishan, have to be a host, congratulations, there are no outsiders today, just a few of our old neighbors, we can let go of the chat.

Tang Qiuli understood, Yan Xishan wanted to touch the bottom of himself and Zhang Yang, after all, in a few days of military operations, everyone was a participant, the people of the central department, Chief Yan couldn't play, and the rest were all here.

Everyone started to talk about some anecdotes, topics such as wind and snow, and they didn't carry Mei Ting behind their backs, the three of them were old and sophisticated, and this beautiful colonel was definitely Tang Qiuli's heart, and the relationship between the two was excellent.

When the wine arrived, Zhang Xueliang first came to love, maybe it was because he was in a bad mood recently, everything was not going well, and he was too depressed, Tang Qiuli, Yan Xishan, and Yang Hucheng were still sober, Zhang Xueliang was already drunk, and the so-called "wine is even more sorrowful." ”

He was full of contempt and hatred for Wei Lihuang's battle plan, and said bluntly: "This is not what Chairman Jiang meant, forcing the Northeast Army and Brother Hucheng's Shaanxi Army to take the lead, and their eight divisions of the Central Army are supervising the battle behind. ”

"Don't hide it from you, Brother Hucheng and I, with the ** and Zhu Mao Red Army, have been fighting for more than a year, never won a victory, lost troops and lost generals, the central government not only did not supplement it, but canceled the number, which is clearly Chairman Jiang's means to eradicate dissidents and take the opportunity to eliminate the miscellaneous army."

"I thought twice with Hucheng, in order to avoid the fate of being wiped out, and I didn't want to fight a civil war again, so I signed an armistice agreement with the Red Army.

"To this day, I, Zhang Hanqing and Brother Hucheng, are determined not to fight with the Red Army, and I have also approached the chairman many times to persuade him not to fight with the Red Army anymore, and it is the mission of our soldiers to deal with the Japanese together."

"However, Chairman Chiang not only did not listen to my advice, but also rebuked me for being bewitched by the Communist Party and for being a bandit, and I was disheartened.

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass, put the wine glass heavily on the table, and shook his head with a sigh and a helpless expression.

may be infected by Zhang Xueliang's affection, plus the two of them are sympathetic to each other and have a common experience, Yang Hucheng also drank the wine.

The atmosphere in the room became solemn.
