Chen Geng stood up and said: "I think Zhang Xueliang must be coveting the northwest, I heard that there is intelligence that Zhang Xueliang formed the cavalry army under the strong recommendation of Jiang Jieshi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In other words, his brother finally hoped that he would be able to enter the northwest and control the four places of Ning, Gan, Qing, and Xin. Only in the entire northwest are these four provinces that are the most suitable for cavalry. Moreover, the equipment of the Northeast Army is the best in the country, and the Ma Jiajun still maintains the combat style of the cold weapon era. If there is any unit in the country that has the greatest grasp of the Ma Jiajun, I think it must be the Northeast Army. ”

Xia Xinsheng stopped and asked, "That means that Ma Jiajun has been hiding behind for no reason?" Is it possible to make such a bold assumption, Ma Hongkui and they also know that the Northeast Army has the idea of seizing their territory. In other words, they saw some clues through the formation of cavalry in the Northeast Army. Conclude the Northeast Army's intention to advance westward? ”

Xiao Jinguang carefully deduced the map and said: "It's just that if we make a mistake in judgment." Then the two teams will join forces and drive straight in. We will waste a strategic location. Will the gains outweigh the losses? ”

Luo Ronghuan said very cautiously: "Such a possibility is not impossible, the Western Expedition brought nearly 80,000 troops, the 30,000 troops under the command of General Peng can't move at all, the Jin Sui army in the east is also ready to move, and Commander Liu's 20,000 horses can't be drawn." If our side loses, it is possible to be passive in the whole world. I wonder if I want to think of another way? ”

Xia Xinsheng returned to the front of the table and carefully measured the map that he had already mastered with a ruler paragraph after paragraph. Chen Geng and the others also snatched tools from the staff officers and compared them on the map, constantly deducing various plans. It's a pity that the enemy is outnumbered, and it's advancing in a group, so there is no ingenious way to think about it. The reconnaissance team that arrived first scratched its tongue, and the news sent back after the interrogation made everyone in the command gasp, Tang Enbo was coming, and the first regiment was still a week away from here.

Xia Xinsheng slammed the ruler on the table and said angrily: "The enemy is coming in a group, and it is a situation where the enemy is outnumbered, fighting is looking for death, and if you don't fight, you are waiting for death." There is still a glimmer of life in the fight, if you don't wait for Xue Yue to come, then there will be no room for turning around! Since ancient times, there is a road in Huashan, and if we don't face difficulties, we can only wait for others to overturn us to the foot of the mountain. I suggest that a report be sent to the Central Committee, that our assumptions be truthfully reported, and that the information about the arrival of Tang Enbo be elaborated.

At the same time, I judge that because the Ma Jiajun is about to arrive with Xue Yue's troops, they will have a greater gap with the Northeast Army. If they defeat us, the Central Army and the Northeast Army will not go back honestly, and the next target is either the Northwest Army or the Ma Jiajun. Even, Jiang Jieshi and Zhang Xueliang have the strength to act on both sides at the same time.

Therefore, as long as Ma Hongkui and his two brothers are not a mallet, they will definitely find a way to pit the Northeast Army, especially the cavalry army that they regard as a thorn in their side. If everyone does not disagree, they will urgently call the Central Committee in the name of the headquarters. ”

Xia Xinsheng took the telegram and read it, and took the lead in signing his name, the others have no other way now, and the front line is carrying artillery fire and the Northeast Army, there must be a decision. After everyone signed their names one after another, the telegram was quickly sent to the central government.

The central authorities received an urgent telegram, and the three-person group and Commander-in-Chief Zhu sat down together and carefully checked the map, and they also fell into deep thought. After smoking a few cigarettes in a row, the commander-in-chief stood up and walked to the huge map hanging on the wall, nodded in several places and asked, "Is our intelligence consistent with Xia Xinsheng's others?" How many people came over to Tangenbo? How far away are we? ”

The vice chairman found the location on the map and nodded, saying: "According to the news from our internal line, Tang Enbo's Thirteenth Army is under the jurisdiction of the 88th Division, the 89th Division, and the 4th Division after the original Xu Tingyao's 17th Army was abolished, with an establishment of 50,000 people, but Tang Enbo's troops are very empty, and it is estimated that there should be more than 30,000 or less than 40,000 troops. It should take ten to fifteen days for them all to arrive. ”

The chairman read the telegram again and asked, "Then about Xia Xinsheng's judgment, do you think the accuracy is high?" ”

Wang Jiaxiang said: "Judging from the information we have so far, it is indeed very likely that it is as stated in the telegram. Just ......"

Vice Chairman Zhou said: "As for the motives of the Northeast Army to establish a cavalry army, it is indeed as they judged. We have intelligence that the shelter that Jiang Jieshi gave him to his brother Zhang Xueliang planned was the northwest, and the establishment of the cavalry army by the Northeast Army was indeed promoted by Jiang Jieshi.

It's just that Ma Hongkui and how they judge, we have no way of knowing, and because of the single ethnic structure of the Ma family's army, it is very xenophobic internally. Our intelligence department has not made constructive progress in the infiltration of Ma Jiajun. It is difficult to make an absolutely accurate judgment. ”

The commander-in-chief took his eyes off the map and said, "It's just that time waits for no one, once the direction of Wuqi Town is more than 30,000 more than 30,000 Central Army." The pressure on them is going to be enormous. And our whole battle will be a war of attrition, let's put it in, we don't have enough depth to maneuver and fight. If you don't find a place to break the game, it will inevitably become a dead end! ”

The chairman thought for a while and asked, "Did our Western Expeditionary Force exchange fire with the Ma Jiajun?" ”

"Judging from the briefings in recent days, there is no such thing as yet," the vice-chair said. They tried to get help from the combination of the two horses, and then attack from north to south. ”

The chairman nodded and said, "That's right, I said that Ma Jiajun still put so many people here for the sake of the family, and I didn't know that our western expeditionary troops had passed." ”

The chairman stood up and crossed his waist and continued: "Our situation is already like this, just as Xia Xinsheng said in their telegram, to fight is to seek death, and not to fight is to wait for death. There is still a glimmer of life in the fight, and if you don't fight, you can only watch the situation become out of control.

I didn't think it was as good as this, so I sent a telegram to Xia Xinsheng saying that I had confidence in him, and it was a big deal that I would go up the mountain to fight guerrillas. There has to be a decisive place. Looking ahead and looking backward can only lead to nothing. They know more about the battlefield situation on the front line than we do, no matter what, the battle will still be fought by them, so Xia Xinsheng will take everyone to make a decision! ”

The telegram was quickly sent back to the headquarters, Xia Xinsheng quickly browsed it, handed the telegram in his hand and said, "Let's take a look, we have solved this problem by ourselves!" ”
