Chiang Kai-shek's great troubles are also the Japanese people's great troubles. This is probably something that Zhang Xuewu expected. He must first settle the country before fighting against foreign countries. This peace of mind actually has his own share!

Chiang Kai-shek's murder was always a soft knife without blood. With Zhang Xuewu's help, he attracted the attention of the Japanese army, consumed the Japanese army's vitality, and allowed the government to win the critical time for reorganization of equipment to fight again. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek gave Zhang Xuewu the opportunity to honor and expand his strength. Things that were originally uncontrollable were better to let it develop on its own. The stronger the tenth war zone, the more the Japanese regarded it as a thorn in their eyes, and they had to be completely eliminated and eliminated.

Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek also occupied the general intention of the State Administration to lead the anti-Japanese war. If Zhang Xuewu did not obey the strategic arrangements of the State Administration, it would be planned to deliberately preserve his strength. Public opinion could support you, Zhang Xuewu, and he could also send you to hell. At that time, how many loyalty you are to your Zhang Xuewu's subordinates?

There are many ways to deal with Zhang Xuewu and Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek doesn't want to give outsiders a feeling of being too anxious. Moreover, the biggest taboo of high-level decision-makers is that the ending of cunning rabbits and lackeys. Being a person is like having an intention to make a matter. It is always right to be kind to oneself. Be kind to oneself, balance the interests of factions in one's own camp, and give them a slight gap. Use thunder means to deal with hostile people. This is the superior!

Chiang Kai-shek finally pointed his finger to Xuzhou and knocked hard: "We passed by Songhu some time ago, and the losses in the Second Battle of Nanjing were amazing. The elite troops of the Central Army were almost 10 or 3. Now the Japanese Prince Zai Ren was negotiating with us in Shanghai. In fact, the Japanese were making trouble. Xuzhou was a place that must be fought for since ancient times, and there was no possibility of giving up. Li Delin used a group of miscellaneous troops to fight against the enemy. The Japanese army was not very likely to win against the north and south. Let's see if there is any way to delay the Japanese attack, disperse and favorably restrain the Japanese troops?"

Chiang Kai-shek's words made Li Zongren, Gu Zhutong, Chen Cheng and others present suddenly stunned. It was obvious that Chiang Kai-shek's words meant something. The people present were all professional soldiers. In addition to the Rehe area, which had just been marked with the 10th War Zone logo, the main force of the national army entrenched in the Zhongtiao Mountain area in northwest Shanxi. However, compared with the troops of the 10th War Zone, the combat effectiveness of the nearly 300,000 troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area was probably not as good as the two armies in the 10th War Zone.

What’s strange is that although Shanxi was included in the 10th War Zone, the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone was not revoked? Yan Xishan was also the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone. The Central Army and Jin Army in Zhongtiaoshan were not under the command of the 10th War Zone?

This is a clear conflict with the provisions of the Military and Political Department's division of the theater-level and subordinate military orders? So everyone understands the so-called situation of Zhang Xuewu's tenth theater.

There is no airtight wall in this world. Whoever speaks first is to follow Chiang Kai-shek's wishes, but it is equivalent to digging a hole for Zhang Xuewu to jump. Digging a hole for others is obviously a very hateful thing! Besides, Zhang Xuewu's power has increased significantly at this moment. The 10th War Zone has strong troops and strong horses. The entire system of the Youth Army has given the 10th War Zone. The intention of the Supreme Military Commission is very obvious. You can build as many troops as you can in the 10th War Zone. Except for the Tiger Ben Division and the Honorary First Division, the remaining divisions have only half the funds, and their treatment is similar to the 18th Army and the Fourth Route Army.

The identity of the Central Army is a treatment that is worse than that of miscellaneous troops. This is the real situation of the troops in the 10th War Zone. However, everyone knows that behind Zhang Xuewu there is a secret consortium that has made huge investments in the United States and constantly transfusions into the Rehe side. Otherwise, relying solely on Zhang Xuewu's opium and its derivative products, such a huge military consumption could not be maintained. In addition, with the huge loans provided by the Soviet Union several times, Zhang Xuewu could be considered a strong army!

Therefore, at this moment, Li Zongren, Gu Zhutong, He Yingqin and others looked like they were thinking hard. Li Zongren and He Yingqin would not share this worry for Jiang Jiang. Gu Zhutong was pretending to be stupid. Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo and others were not at the same level as they were not able to speak nonsense, and only Chen Cheng was the only one who spoke enough!

Chen Cheng looked at Gu Zhutong helplessly. Chairman Jiang's field must be favored, otherwise the old man would be furious again when he gets angry. Maybe he will be affected by Chi Yu, which makes the old man think that he is not loyal to him and is unwilling to relieve his worries.

Chen Cheng hesitated and said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Chairman! Bei Zhi believes that the current strategic deployment and action intention of the Japanese army is actually Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone knows that the Japanese are forcing us to turn the tables on their own, making the Nine-Country Convention Organization think that we can destroy the process and rekindle the war! In fact, the intention of the Japanese recent military adjustment and deployment is to carry out a large-scale strategic decisive battle with our army in Xuzhou, completely open up the Longhai line, and allow the main force of the Japanese army in North China to join forces with the main force of the Japanese army in central China, and blindly increase troops to Xuzhou to defend passively, which is very unfavorable to our army. Our only way now is to wait for the Japanese to tear apart in Shanghai, and then use the main force of the 10th War Zone to attack the Shanhaiguan front line with the main force of the 10th War Zone to repel Jinzhou, cut off the connection between the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Japanese army in North China, and strategically divide the main force of the Japanese army."

"Very good! Ci Xiu's idea is very good!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction, but Chen Cheng also complained in his heart. The words that came to Zhang Xuewu's ears might offend Zhang Xuewu.

Chen Cheng was also a person who was not surprised by the ups and downs. Since Chiang Kai-shek's favor for him remained unchanged, no matter how big the defeat Chen Cheng suffered, he could not shake his status at all. The 18th Army under his command was organized from the Second Division to the Fifth Division. Even if he suffered a great loss in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area, he suffered a great loss and was attacked by He Yingqin, Gu Zhutong, Xiong Shihui and others. Chiang Kai-shek resolutely reorganized the 18th Army into the 8th Division of the Second Army.

Li Zongren could see clearly that Chen Cheng was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant. Li Zongren was not too comfortable to comment on Chen Cheng's so-called military talent. There were too many factors that determine the outcome of a battle. Many things are not natural for a lot of soldiers and weapons. Who has never defeated the war? As long as the loser is not at once, it is impossible to make a comeback, it is not a complete failure.

Li Zongren admired what Chen Cheng once said, rather than fighting and dying, what is better than fighting and survival! He also proposed a strategy of restraining the main force of the Japanese army and not allowing the enemy to go from east to west, which shows that Chen Cheng is not useless in strategy, and his focus is very insightful.

Chiang Kai-shek seemed to ponder for a moment: "I ordered the Fifth War Zone to strengthen preparations, and use Tang Enbo's army and Hu Zongnan's army as mobile corps to transfer the Fifth Army, the 36th Army, the 74th Army, the 83rd Army, the 87th Army, the 88th Army, the 98th Army, and the 100th Army to form a guerrilla group on the north and south lines, and to be under the jurisdiction of the Fifth War Zone to contain the main forces of the Japanese army in North China and North China. The second war zone headquarters set up an active offensive posture against the Japanese army in North China. The Second Military Commission's artillery directly under the Military Commission's Second, the Fifth Brigade, the Seventh and Eighth Brigades went to the Fifth War Zone. The Fifth War Zone headquarters defended Xuzhou at all costs, and wanted to turn Xuzhou into the second Chengde and Nanjing!"

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek said, Li Zongren felt relieved. Tang Enbo's army and Hu Zongnan's army were all organized by three A-type armies. The eight elite Soviet armies on the north and south sides were the absolute direct line of the Central Army. The four artillery brigades added a lot of confidence to Li Zongren, especially the newly formed Seventh and Eighth-level Artillery Brigades, which were all 150 mm large-caliber field howitzers and 105 mm howitzers. They were two brigades deployed in Jiangbei that Rehe Legion reinforced Nanjing.

Zhang Xuewu left all the equipment to Hu Zongnan, and all the artillery was withdrawn from Suiyuan through northwest Shanxi. The Supreme Military Commission was as if he had gained a treasure. Hu Zongnan picked up the cheaper and got three 105mm howitzer battalions, and his strength also increased geometrically. With reinforcements and heavy artillery, Li Zongren couldn't help but fantasize about the support of the air force. Li Zongren knew that the Japanese Kwantung Army's flight troops were now suppressed by Zhang Xuewu's air force on the so-called pseudo-New Beijing front line in Changchun. The Japanese military factories in the Northeast were basically paralyzed and stopped production. However, the Rehe Legion had lost many fighter planes when supporting the Nanjing Defense War. In order to defend his military base in Baotou, Zhang Xuewu might not be willing to send the air force to Xuzhou to assist in the war.

Chiang Kai-shek started his career with power. Although Li Zongren remained calm, Chiang Kai-shek had grasped Li Zongren's pulse. The so-called reinforcements he had given Li Zongren was still a plan. How much combat plan on the map can be reflected in reality is probably no one will know. Chiang Kai-shek believed that Li Zongren was also very clear, so he continued to speak: "If the Shanghai negotiations break down, it is planned to send no less than eight reorganized divisions to attack Shanhaiguan and Pingjin's front line to completely cut off the connection between the Japanese North China Front and the Kwantung Army, effectively restrain the mobile combat power of the Japanese North China Front, so that the fifth theater of the fifth theater was concentrated to defend Xuzhou, and encircle the main force of the Japanese Central China Front from the outside to carry out a decisive battle!"
