Chapter 156: Calculations that can only be understood
Chapter 156 A calculation that can only be understood
The surroundings of the General Temple are heavily guarded. Two squads of guards, Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao, are standing behind the entrance. Under the high platform in front of the temple is a guard platoon led by Deputy Wu Liheng of the Supplementary Regiment. Everyone within fifty meters of the General Temple is armed with live ammunition.
Under the guard of elite soldiers.
The northern end of the six-meter-long and two-meter-wide long table in the middle of the hall is covered with a dark green military blanket. A military map of one meter long and one meter wide is spread out on the military blanket. Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao are sitting in the upper position due to the north. An Yi
, Yin Jinan, Hu Jialin, Yang Bin, Lu Mingdi, Xia Jian and other nine school officials sat on the left and right.
Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao read the archived letter from Yang Bin to Gao Zhihua, the commander of the 37th Regiment of the Gan Army stationed in Jinxian County, and then read Gao Zhihua's reply word for word. They were surprised and excited.
The two negotiated in low voices for a moment, and Liu Zhi solemnly stated that he would report to the headquarters tonight urgently so that the headquarters could grasp the overall situation and make overall arrangements.
At Liu Zhi's signal, Xu Tingyao stood up and whispered: "Everyone, on behalf of the division, I will work with you to formulate corresponding plans, as well as a series of action plans and contingency plans. Therefore, today's meeting is actually the top secret of our army.
, I hope you will strictly keep the confidentiality and keep military laws in mind. If there is any leakage, you will be severely punished!"
Everyone immediately stood up and shouted to obey the order. Xu Tingyao motioned for everyone to sit down, picked up a pencil and pointed at the map to explain in detail:
"At present, the "Plan to Clear Jiangxi" formulated by the General Headquarters has been completed. Comprehensive military mobilization will be launched soon. The Fourth Army of Zhang Fakui's Department, rushed to support from Wuhan, is about to enter Jiangxi and coordinate with Li Zongren's Seventh Army. The independent Second Army
Shi He Yaozu's troops served as a reserve force to form our left-wing army to eliminate the enemies in De'an, Tujiabu, Ruichang, and Jiujiang in northern Jiangxi. The commander-in-chief of the army was General Li Zongren.
The right-wing corps is composed of the Third Army of Zhu Peide's Department and the Second Army of Lu Diping's Department. The 46th Regiment of the Fifth Army is a reserve force. General Zhu Peide serves as the commander-in-chief of the corps. It is divided into two columns. The left column attacks from Longevity Palace.
The southern section of Nanxun Road reaches Jiaoqiao and Niuxing Station, and then encircles Nanchang from north to south; the right column encircles Nanchang from south to north from Zhangshu to Fengcheng, and the other column and the newly formed 14th Army of General Lai Shihuang capture Fuzhou.
The Central Army Corps is the Sixth Army of Cheng Qian's Department. Our first and second divisions advance eastward from Anyi, Fengxin and Gao'an, aiming at the west of Nanchang City and Lehua and Xinjian in the north of the city. They advance from west to east to attack Nanchang, and in time, they
From the north of Nanchang City, they attacked the east line of the open city, and then pursued the fleeing enemies.
Therefore, at this time, the uprising of General Gao Zhihua, the defender of Jinxian County, just cut off the enemy's retreat route to southern Zhejiang. The role and significance of this surrender are very important, and its contribution to the entire purge campaign is truly inestimable!"
Only then did everyone understand the reason why Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao were so solemn. In this huge plan, Jinxian County was located at the last blocking point that allowed Nanchang's defenders to flee. In this way, Nanchang's tens of thousands of defenders were the only enemy.
The land retreat was completely blocked, and the revolutionary army units with heavy troops on the border would be able to avoid a brutal siege. The Central Army Corps could minimize casualties and gather as many troops as possible to carry out divisions along the way when the enemy was forced to withdraw from Nanchang.
Annihilate.
Xu Tingyao continued to explain: "Therefore, General Gao Zhihua's uprising will ensure that our army can successfully block the retreat route of the defeated enemy in Nanchang. Once it is accomplished, it can be summarized with brilliant military achievements, and it can also play the most critical role in our army's entire combat plan.
Perfect compensation. In view of this, we must get in touch with General Gao Zhihua before the launch of the campaign, strengthen his position, and urge his troops to be deployed from the southwest to the true north of Jinxian to build a solid blocking line... How to obtain
This guarantee is an urgent problem for us. If we cannot guarantee it or even allow the enemy to take this opportunity to counterattack, our unit will suffer heavy losses and will not be able to achieve the final goal of the purge campaign."
"Understood……"
Yang Bin nodded and asked: "Chief of Staff, division commander, based on my subordinate's understanding of Gao Zhihua and analysis from his reply, he is very determined to surrender to the revolution. I request that before the battle is launched, he will lead a platoon of elite
Rush to the defense area of the friendly Second Army first, and when the general attack begins, rush to Jinxian as quickly as possible to assist Gao Zhihua in raising the flag of rebellion and commanding the defense. This is more guaranteed. However, his subordinates need to carry the Revolutionary Army Headquarters.
Documents and other relevant appointment certificates were sent to Jinxian to strengthen Gao Zhihua’s determination to join the revolution.”
Xu Tingyao smiled and nodded: "This suggestion is very good, and it is also an important part of our consideration. According to the regulations of our Northern Expeditionary Army Headquarters, General Gao Zhihua can be promoted to major general by building this extraordinary feat, and he has more than 2,200 soldiers under his command.
It can be expanded into an independent division. Therefore, you can bring the letter of appointment signed by Commander-in-Chief Chiang to be read out, but you still need to be prepared for the worst. However - there are some unsatisfactory aspects to this matter, then
Once this is accomplished, our Second Division can only make a fuss about chasing, annihilating, dividing, encircling and encircling the fleeing enemy, otherwise we will not be able to expand and strengthen our strength through capture and capture."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Now it is an open secret that various ministries use prisoners and captures to enrich themselves. Liu Zhi saw the thoughtful look on An Yi's face, looked at each other with Xu Tingyao, and asked with a smile: "Little
Yi, do you have any good suggestions?"
An Yi chuckled: "It's not a good suggestion. This matter is too important. There is no reason for the teacher and the chief of staff to be negligent, nor can we expect the headquarter commander to be careless. After thinking about it, my subordinates thought there was a plan.
It can make all parties feel at ease, but...hehe! I didn't want to mature, hehe..."
"Hmph! If you keep showing off, I will be rude to you."
As soon as Xu Tingyao saw An Yi's hesitating, he understood that this scheming guy must have thought of a solution. Both Xu Tingyao and Liu Zhi knew that An Yi still needed to learn and exercise in the overall strategic direction, but in terms of tactics and local
In terms of battles, there are not many people in the Second Division who can match this guy's brains. The best proof is that every battle since the Northern Expedition has been more beautiful than the last.
An Yi put away his smile and suggested seriously: "My subordinate's method is almost the same as Staff Yang's, with just a few additions. First, follow Staff Yang's plan, with Staff Yang Bin, Battalion Commander Lu Mingdi and Guard Company Commander Gu
Together with Changfeng, he led the thirty-five brothers in the first platoon of our guard company to act according to the plan. Then Major Xia Jian of our regiment and deputy guard company Wu Liheng led the second, third, fourth and sixth platoons of our guard company, a total of one hundred
Forty-two well-equipped brothers followed closely. After Staff Yang established contact with General Gao Zhihua, Xia Jian immediately led his troops to assist Staff Yang and General Gao Zhihua in setting up the command post, and was led by Hu Jialin, deputy commander of our regiment.
Three infantry companies rushed in urgently and fought side by side, so it was safe. As for concealing their whereabouts, it was very simple. All you had to do was say hello to a few bosses of the Second Army in advance."
Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao nodded at the same time. An Yi's strategy was very complete, and both of them saw the secret from An Yi's arrangements. That is, with the abilities of An Yi's three elite companies with extremely powerful combat capabilities,
Even if Gao Zhihua wants to go back on his word at that time, he will probably not be able to keep Gao Zhihua's head around his neck if he offends these hundreds of killing gods. As long as Yang Bin can enter first, all problems can be solved, but no one will take this opportunity seriously.
It’s just a matter of layering. Secondly, Baitu Town in the northeast of the Second Army’s defense area happens to be adjacent to Jinxian’s defense area. The distance between them is only thirty-five kilometers. Based on the rapid marching speed of the model battalion, only five
Jinxian County can be reached in an hour. Once the second batch of elites enters, there is no need to worry about the variables, not to mention the two companies led by the fierce general Huzi who are following closely. Even if Gao Zhihua goes back on his word or feigns surrender, he will be killed without blinking an eye.
The coercion of Gu Laoer and Yang Bin, as well as the internal and external attacks of Huzi and Xia Jian. With the super firepower and combat effectiveness of the model battalion, there is no need to worry about this anymore. The main regiments of the second division only need to carry out exhaustive attacks on the fleeing enemies as planned.
Just chase and fight.
After a brief discussion, everyone quickly formed a plan report. Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao stood up and said goodbye. Both of them hoped to report to Commander-in-Chief Chiang as soon as possible. This was not only a great achievement for the Second Division and the two of them, but also a great achievement for them.
The entire purge campaign had made an indelible contribution, so how could the two of them have any intention of having another dinner party?
However, An Yi did not let the two of them leave. Instead, he happily asked them to sit down: "Master's seat, chief of staff, please sit down for a while. I have important matters to report."
"Oh? Xiaoyi, what else do you want to do?" The good-tempered Liu Zhi sat down slowly, and Xu Tingyao could only sit down, shaking his head and looking at An Yi with a smile to see what other tricks this guy had.
An Yi said solemnly: "According to the relevant regulations formulated by our army in the early days of the Northern Expedition, those who surrendered or joined the revolutionary army, with a number of more than 500, were awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel and battalion commander to the initiator or commander.
Or a position with equal treatment, I would like to ask whether this provision is still in effect?"
"Of course it works! What? Someone came to defect to your department?" Liu Zhi asked in surprise.
An Yi nodded: "It is precisely with the hard work of Captain Gu Changfeng, the commander of our regiment's guard company, that we persuaded 860 local armed forces in Yifeng and Tonggu areas to defect to the supplementary regiment of the Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army.
I sincerely request the division commander and chief of staff to appoint Captain Gu Changfeng as the commander of the fourth battalion of our regiment, and to promote his rank in accordance with relevant regulations."
Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao were shocked. They both knew what An Yi meant by this 860-person "local armed force". Just think about the strong combat effectiveness and cohesion of the guard company and the two combat companies of the model camp.
What kind of team will it be after a short period of training? Which military leader wouldn't want to have such an elite team?
Xu Tingyao and Liu Zhi nodded to each other and immediately made it clear: "If the situation is true, we completely agree. Originally, Captain Gu Changfeng should have been promoted to the rank of major based on his merits in the last blockade and counterattack battle, but unfortunately this
How dare you act so unscrupulously and without military discipline in front of the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-President Bai, and more than a dozen generals from the headquarters and the second army, and want to chop up the military doctor who treated you when you disagree with him? This has harmed that very talented young man.
The military doctor quit his job the next day, and returned to Changsha General Hospital out of hatred and fear. For this reason, everyone from the Commander-in-Chief down to me and the teacher were under pressure from all sides and did not deal with Gu Changfeng, but they also
He was not given the reward he deserved. This matter has faded away and does not need to be mentioned again. At this critical moment on the eve of the war, if Gu Changfeng can achieve such results, the division headquarters will definitely reward him in accordance with relevant regulations. However, it must be
We can’t decide until all 860 people arrive.”
An Yili laughed and stood up holding on to his crutches: "Master, Chief of Staff, please go to the high platform in front of the door. Look towards the river 70 meters to the east, and you will see these 860 people. Now.
It's dinner time, they should have come back from training and are having dinner at the moment."
Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao hurriedly followed a group of proud supplementary regimental officers out of the hall, came to the high platform and looked eastward. They saw more than 800 strong men with uncut hair gathered by the river. There was a lot of people and everyone was eating.
, laundry, laundry, there were more than a hundred naked men in the cold river, bathing and having water fights, shouting, and Gu Laoer, who was fully clothed, squatted on the big stone by the river, and a few tough men
Smoking and chatting, they laughed wildly from time to time, making Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao look at each other and sigh frequently.
"Hutou, come here -" An Yi shouted.
Gu Laoer quickly ran to the high platform, stood at attention and saluted Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao: "Report to the teacher's seat, Chief of Staff, my subordinate has just led 860 new brothers back from field training. Please take the seat of the teacher, Chief of Staff, for instructions!"
"
"Easy...you didn't give them weapons?" Liu Zhi asked kindly.
"Reporting to the Master, I have no plans to issue weapons to these grandsons until their wild nature has been eradicated." Gu Changfeng replied.
Liu Zhi nodded: "You have thought carefully, you have made progress... Gu Changfeng listened to the order: I appoint you as the major commander of the fourth battalion of the Second Division's Supplementary Regiment. The letter of appointment will be issued tomorrow."
Gu Laoer looked at this and that in surprise, and finally said something surprising: "Master, this subordinate does not want to be the battalion commander, but he is still willing to continue to serve as the commander of the guard company of our regiment. Please ask the commander
The seat is taken back and fulfilled."
The brothers were anxious, and An Yi yelled in desperation: "Hutou, grandma, is your grandson crazy?"
"Boss, I want to stay with you for a few more things."
Gu Laoer, who has a free-spirited nature, does not want to leave An Yi. He does not have as strong a sense of fame, wealth and power as other brothers. In his heart, An Yi is his biological brother. He feels extremely comfortable and fulfilled by An Yi's side, satisfied and satisfied.
Happiness, in his words, means having a confidant in life is enough.
Hearing what he said, An Yi had no choice but to be careful. Xu Tingyao approached Liu Zhi and discussed in a low voice for a moment. Liu Zhi immediately changed his order:
"Okay, we respect your opinion. Based on Chief of Staff Xu's proposal and Major Xia Jian's consistent performance, the position of commander of the Fourth Battalion will be awarded to Xia Jian. Colonel An Yi will hold a meeting with all the commanders of our division at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
At the meeting of chief officers of the departments directly under the regiment and division headquarters, I hope you will submit the appointment list of chief officers at all levels of the Fourth Battalion to the division headquarters for approval. During this critical period, everything must be implemented as soon as possible so that we can go all out to prepare for the war."
"Yes! I will ask Deputy Hu Tuan and three others to report to the division headquarters tomorrow morning when they go to a meeting." An Yi replied respectfully.
Liu Zhi smiled at the indifferent Gu Laoer and said, "The documents for your promotion to major will come out tomorrow, so work hard!"
Yin Jinan, Hu Hu and others saw off Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao, and when they returned to the high platform, they saw Gu Laoer happily chatting with Xia Jian. They all shook their heads and laughed at the unruly bandit leader.
Yin Jinan thought for a while and asked loudly: "Hutou, do you never want to be promoted in this life?"
Gu Laoer laughed heartily: "You still have to be promoted, but not now, haha! Don't look at Xia Jian's majesty when he became the battalion commander, but he was jealous of me for being in charge of the guard company! Just now he had to humble himself and beg me to give him
A platoon, haha! Although I am only a company commander, my company has grown to six platoons and more than 200 brothers, which is much stronger than any of your battalions. There are also various logistics and military departments of the regiment to serve you.
, I don’t need to worry about the brothers’ eating, drinking, and littering. I can just fight. How cool? In such a comfortable place, let me change the place to make room for him, Xia Jian, no way! Haha..."
