Early this morning, when Chairman Chiang just got up, he was still in a good mood, because the CCP in Yan'an sent a very harsh letter of accusation, accusing Ma Bufang's 82nd Army of attacking their CCP's transport team. Not only
They took away supplies provided by the Soviet government and massacred one of their cavalry battalions.
However, Chairman Chiang was in a good mood after reading this telegram.
Accusation? You Communist Party, go ahead and accuse. You said the transport convoy was attacked by Ma Bufang's 82nd Army, but where is the evidence? Why don't you tell me if there is no evidence? This is obviously the work of the Ma bandits, right? To say,
It’s just that the cavalry of your Communist Party is too weak. One cavalry battalion can’t even defeat the horse bandits. It’s shameful, it’s simply shameful!
Thinking of this, Chairman Jiang was in a good mood and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh twice, haha!
The captain of the guard, Wang Shihe, still asked cautiously: "Commissioner, how should I reply to Ma Bufang?"
Chairman Chiang snorted lightly and said: "In this case, immediately send a secret telegram to Ma Bufang, saying that he did a good job in Erdaogou, but this matter should not be made public, so public commendation is inappropriate, but
Well, we can compensate him in other ways. Hasn't he always valued his only son Ma Jiyuan? Why not let Ma Jiyuan come to the Army University General Officer Class to study, and he will be awarded the title of Army Major General as soon as he graduates!"
"Yes!" Wang Shihe agreed. Just as he was about to leave, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
As soon as he heard the footsteps, Wang Shihe's brows immediately tightened. Who is this? He was so ignorant that he stepped on the floor and disturbed Mrs. Jiang's dream. What should I do?
Chairman Jiang was also a little unhappy. When he looked up, he was suddenly stunned.
Because the person who walked in was Dai Li, and his face showed a rare look of anxiety.
As the biggest spy leader, Dai Li usually remained calm despite the collapse of the mountain. However, at this time, Dai Li's face clearly showed a look of panic, and there were slight beads of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose.
He was also out of breath, and he obviously ran in directly from the gate of the official residence after a long trot.
"Committee, it's an emergency!" Dai Li gasped before Chairman Jiang could speak, "Yesterday evening, I received a report from an insider lurking in Damei Mountain, saying that several regiments of Xu Rui were gathering overnight.
It also included an artillery regiment and a tank regiment, and even the air force was dispatched."
"Is there still such a thing?" Chairman Jiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he lost his voice, "Xu Rui wants to fight the Japanese again?"
Chairman Chiang cannot help but be shocked. Not long after the Tianchang Battle, Xu Rui started another war? Where did they get so many ammunition reserves in Damei Mountain? Does a mere Jinling arsenal have such a large production capacity? Can it really support Damei Mountain?
The independent regiment launched continuous large-scale offensives? This seems a bit illogical?
Dai Li said in a deep voice: "Beizhi thought so too at first, thinking that Xu Rui was going to fight against the Japs again. But after the troops were assembled, martial law suddenly began in the entire Meixian county. Beizhi then felt that something was abnormal, but because there was no
I knew Xu Rui’s exact intention, so I didn’t dare to disturb the committee..."
"So what now?" Chairman Jiang interrupted Dai Li impatiently and asked, "Have you figured it out now?"
"We have found out." Dai Li nodded and continued, "After a night of reconnaissance, it is now basically certain that Xu Rui's gathering of troops this time is not to deal with the enemy."
"Not a little devil?" Chairman Chiang's heart skipped a beat and he cried out, "Then who does he want to deal with?"
"It should be the 32nd Army!" Dai Li said solemnly, "Xu Rui should be dealing with the 32nd Army!"
"What did you say? The 32nd Army?!" Chairman Jiang's face immediately darkened. In an instant, Chairman Jiang understood what was going on. Well, Xu Rui is here to take revenge.
, he just asked Ma Bufang to send troops to rob the supplies provided by the Soviet Union, and Xu Rui turned around and wanted to attack his 32nd Army?
Do you dare?! A voice suddenly sounded violently in Chairman Jiang's heart. I want to see if you dare to attack my 32nd Army! If you dare to attack my 32nd Army, then
It is deliberately causing trouble and provoking friction. This responsibility is yours to bear!
This is not like last time, Wan Xiangyun started the incident first.
This time it was you, Xu Rui, who made the first move. You are the one at the wrong end!
At this moment, Chairman Chiang even expected Xu Rui to take action. At first glance, Chairman Chiang did not think that the 32nd Army would be in danger. This was a group army with nearly 60,000 troops, and more than 60,000 pigs.
It is absolutely impossible for Xu Rui's troops to arrest him in a short time. Secondly, if Xu Rui really wants to do this, the National Government can take the opportunity to make a big fuss, occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, and make the Communist Party suffer.
The pain is unspeakable.
Thinking of this, Chairman Chiang hurriedly asked Wang Shihe to prepare his car, and then drove straight to the headquarters.
When Chairman Chiang rushed to the headquarters, He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng had already arrived at the headquarters. At this moment, the three of them were gathered in the war room, paying attention to the big map with solemn expressions, and the atmosphere in the war room was also very solemn.
, Chairman Chiang immediately felt as soon as he came in, what's going on, something happened?
"Commissioner!" Seeing Chairman Chiang coming in, He Yingqin, the three of them, and the senior counselors present all stood at attention and saluted.
"No need." Chairman Jiang waved his hand, and then asked He Yingqin, "Jingzhi, how is the situation?"
He Yingqin replied: "Commissioner, this morning, troops of the Dameishan Independent Regiment were discovered near Huoqiu, Shuxian and Feixi at the same time. Their intentions are unknown, but what is strange is that Tiantangzhai actually lost contact at this time.
The 49th Army, the 73rd Army and the 79th Army were all unreachable, and there was no response to calls from the headquarters."
"What did you say? Lost contact with Tiantangzhai?" Chairman Jiang frowned subconsciously upon hearing this.
Chairman Jiang thought to himself, I heard that Xu Rui had a Langya, which was extremely powerful and good at infiltration. Could it be that Xu Rui sent Langya to sneak into Tiantang Village and take over Li Mutang's headquarters?
But the next moment, Chairman Chiang immediately gave up this ridiculous idea. How could it be possible?
In fact, people are all the same. Before things really happen to them, they will always take chances.
The name and combat effectiveness of Langya are no strangers to the senior generals of the National Army and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Let’s not talk about the legendary story of Qixing Lake. The murder of Neji Okamura is always untrue, but Chairman Chiang and the National Army
The senior generals still disagreed with this, thinking that this was just due to Langya's good luck.
At that moment, Chairman Chiang said: "It's probably because the radio station is broken again. Let's do this for now. Immediately ask the nearby 49th Army to send signal troops from Huoqiu County to Tiantangzhai to report the changes in the Dameishan Independent Regiment to Li Motang. Anyway,
Li Motang is the acting commander-in-chief of the Thirty-Second Army, we can't leapfrog his rank and take over the command for him, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Of course Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi nodded repeatedly. There is no need to contradict Chairman Chiang on such a trivial matter, don't you think?
The order to the 49th Army was quickly conveyed.
Chairman Chiang went to the lounge next door to rest.
Generally speaking, Chairman Chiang is not too worried, because in his opinion, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has just finished a big battle, and it is impossible to launch another major offensive in a short time, so the Thirty-second Group Army cannot
You may suffer a big loss, but as for a small loss, just take it. This is only good for the entire situation and has no harm.
In view of this, Chairman Chiang was still very relaxed and even took time to take a nap at the headquarters.
However, after nine o'clock in the morning, Chairman Chiang was woken up by Wang Shihe, the chief of bodyguards. Wang Shihe reported: "Commissioner, the situation has changed, and it is very unoptimistic."
Chairman Jiang snorted, but his mind had not turned around for a while.
Wang Shihe then continued: "Commissioner, Huoqiu and Shu County have been lost."
"Oh, have Huoqiu and Shuxian been lost?" Chairman Jiang nodded casually at first, but the next second, he froze there and said in a voiceless voice, "Shihe, what did you just say?"
Wang Shihe sighed and said: "Commissioner, Huoqiu and Shuxian have been lost."
"Have Huoqiu and Shuxian been lost?" Chairman Chiang sat up and shouted sternly, "What do Liu Mingquan and Wang Xiyuan do? The two armies have tens of thousands of people, but they can't defend two small counties.
?”
Wang Shihe said: "Commissioner, according to the intelligence provided by the military agents lurking in Huoqiu and Shu counties, Liu Mingquan and Wang Xiyuan did not even resist and led their troops to surrender directly."
"Is there such a thing?" Chairman Chiang suddenly turned livid with anger and said angrily, "These two cowards!"
At that moment, Chairman Chiang hurriedly stood up and took Wang Shihe straight to the war room. When they entered the war room, they saw that the atmosphere inside was even more solemn than before. Because of the tension, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi did not even notice the arrival of Chairman Chiang.
Finally, the guards called out loudly, and the three of them suddenly woke up.
"Commit your seat!" He Yingqin and the others quickly stood up and stood at attention.
Chairman Jiang waved his hand and asked: "How is the situation in Feixi?"
"Feixi is still fighting fiercely." Chen Cheng replied in a low voice, "However, the situation is not optimistic..."
"Not too optimistic?" Chairman Chiang said angrily, "How is it not too optimistic? Tell me the truth!"
"Yes!" Chen Cheng agreed and replied in a low voice, "The infantry of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, guided by strong artillery firepower and tanks, launched an attack on Feixi from four directions at the same time. After half an hour of fierce fighting, Feixi was defeated.
All the outer positions of the town have been lost, and now the main force of the 76th Division has retreated into the town and is fighting the enemy in the streets."
