Fu Zuoyi was very lucky because Xu Rui and him were no match.
At almost the same time, Chairman Chiang who was far away in Chongqing was already on pins and needles because Yao Dahai had already reported the news that Xu Rui had appeared in Fu Zuoyi's army and was appointed as the temporary chief of staff by Fu Zuoyi. After receiving this news, Chiang Kai-shek
The chairman immediately sent someone to bring Dai Li, the military commander, to discuss countermeasures.
Chairman Chiang asked: "Yunong, do you know about Suiyuan?"
"I know." Of course Dai Li knew what Chairman Chiang was referring to, and immediately nodded and said, "I believe that this matter must not be taken lightly. Fu Zuoyi originally had a pro-Communist tendency, and this time he ignored the resolute opposition of the Central Committee.
, blatantly appointing Xu Rui as his chief of staff further proves his pro-communist tendency."
"What I'm worried about is not Fu Zuoyi." Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said in standard Mandarin with a strong Ningbo accent, "What I'm worried about is Xu Rui. This person is really incredible, incredible!"
After a pause, he continued, "When Xu Rui was in Wanzhong at the beginning, he turned Wanzhong upside down and defeated several commanders of the Central China Condemnation Army in Japan. They resigned sadly. Later, Xu Rui was transferred to Wanzhong.
Songhu stirred up a storm in Shanghai again. As of today, the situation in Shanghai has not recovered. And now, Xu Rui was transferred to Suiyuan by the CCP. As a result, the Loop was regained in the past few days. If
If there is no big accident, Suiyuan will be recovered next."
Dai Li said in astonishment: "It is a good thing that Suiyuan will be restored to the throne."
"What's so good?" Chairman Chiang snorted and said displeasedly, "Even if Suiyuan is restored, it will still be the territory of the Communist Party. What good will it do to the party-state?" After a short pause, he continued, "Although little Japan is fierce,
, but their country is too small, and they will be driven out of China sooner or later. The real opponent of the party-state is Zhu Mao, the Communist Party."
"Yes, yes, that's what the committee said." Dai Li responded repeatedly, "The real threat to the party-state is the Communist Party."
Chairman Chiang paused the floor with the civilized stick in his hand, and then said: "As for Xu Rui, as Zhu Mao's minion, he poses a particular threat to the party and state. Therefore, we must not wait until we have driven away Little Japan to solve this problem.
We must take precautions to deal with this most deadly threat to the party-state in advance."
"Yes, yes, that's what the committee said." Dai Li said repeatedly, "Solve it in advance. It must be resolved in advance."
"Yes, yes, you will be yes." Chairman Chiang said, "Can't you say something else?"
"Uh..." Dai Li was speechless when he heard this, but he was full of curses in his heart. Damn it, what do you want me to say?
Chairman Jiang lost his temper for a while, finally calmed down, and asked again: "By the way, I remember you prepared a female killer for Xu Rui last time, but it was just because Xu Rui was temporarily transferred to Songhu, so she couldn't use it."
Function, where is the killer? Where is she now? Can she be sent to Suiyuan to continue the mission? "
"This..." Dai Li said with a bitter smile, "The committee is unaware that this female killer lost control after entering Damei Mountain. Now she has cut off all contact with the organization. She is suspected by the Communist Party.
If you kill him, he will have been turned red, so I'm afraid he won't be able to carry out the assassination mission."
"Niang Xipi." Chairman Jiang said angrily, "Then you don't have any other backup candidates?"
Dai Li said: "Xu Rui himself is extremely skilled and vigilant, so it is very difficult for ordinary killers to get close to him, and it is even more difficult to complete the assassination mission. Only by using beauty can it be possible to get close to Xu Rui."
Rui, but there are not many women who are beautiful enough to make Xu Rui fall in love..."
Chairman Chiang said angrily: "Just tell me, yes or no?"
Dai Li pondered and said: "There is a suitable candidate, but..."
Before Dai Li could finish speaking, Chairman Jiang interrupted him directly and said, "Who is this person?"
Dai Li smiled bitterly and said: "She is Qi Wu (Mao Renfeng)'s new wife, Xiang Yingxin."
"Then let her go." Chairman Chiang said in a tone that left no doubt, "But you have to do a good job in Qi Wu's ideological work so that he does not have any resistance. You tell him that the sacrifices he has made for the party and the country,
I will remember it, the party and the country will always remember it, and the people across the country will not forget it."
Dai Li responded respectfully: "Yes."
After watching Dai Li leave, Chairman Chiang's eyes returned to the map. Looking at the Hetao grassland that was already painted red on the map, and then looking at Wuyuan to the north of the Hetao, Chairman Chiang's face became more and more gloomy.
He even murmured to himself, Suiyuan Province will not really be taken back by Fu Zuoyi, right?
…
"Suiyuan will definitely be liberated. I have no doubt about this!" Fu Zuoyi's cold eyes swept over the faces of the participating division commanders and regimental commanders one by one, and then said, "Now, I would like to invite Chief of Staff Xu to speak."
After finishing speaking, Fu Zuoyi turned around and applauded Xu Rui vigorously.
The participating division commanders and regimental leaders also applauded, and the applause burst into thunderous applause.
Immediately after the Japanese artillery position in Xiaoshanzui was destroyed, Fu Zuoyi immediately summoned the division commanders and regimental commanders of the 3rd Division and 10th Regiment under his command for a meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to first report the good news and strengthen confidence.
Xu Rui then explained the defense deployment in detail. During the previous war game deduction, Xu Rui did not go into detail.
The reason why Fu Zuoyi didn't hold this meeting yesterday was because he knew it would be useless. Before the Langya destroyed the Japanese artillery positions, the division commanders and regimental commanders of the 35th Army would not listen to Xu Rui at all.
, but now, these division commanders and regimental commanders who usually have high standards are convinced.
The army is a place that values strength. If you have real ability, others will obey you. On the contrary, even the nobles and nobles below will despise you. Xu Rui's performance last night has obviously won thirty-five
Guo Jingyun applauded especially enthusiastically for the real recognition from the army division commanders and regimental commanders.
Xu Rui suddenly stood up and raised his hand to salute a military salute.
The applause in the conference room stopped abruptly, and you could hear a pin drop.
Looking around at the crowd, Xu Rui raised his voice and said: "When it comes to position construction and troop deployment, all the division commanders and regiment commanders here are experts. There is no need for me to say more. I only want to make a small request here. I hope everyone will go back.
After that, build as many lines of defense as possible, not simply dig a few more trenches, but arrange several more levels of defense in front and back. The little devil broke through one defense, and there was a second, third, and even more behind it.
N pieces!”
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "We must give the Japanese a strong psychological expectation, that is, the defenses of our 35th Army will never be exhausted, even if we hit the sea-dry stone fence, even if we hit
To the ends of the earth, there will still be defenses of our 35th Army waiting for them."
Guo Jingyun couldn't help but responded loudly: "Chief of Staff, don't worry, now that there is no threat from the Japanese artillery, it will be no problem for us to defend Wuyuan, not to mention half a month, even half a year."
"Really?" Xu Rui smiled and asked again, "There's really no problem."
"No problem." Not only Guo Jingyun, but also the other group leaders responded with a bang.
"It seems that I have to make it more difficult for you." Xu Rui said herrily, "How about this. After you go back, immediately transfer a main battalion to the headquarters. Let me declare in advance that it must be the main battalion. Don't select the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Temporarily form an independent battalion to fool me, otherwise, I will find out in the end, hum!"
Several division commanders and regimental commanders present at the meeting suddenly looked at each other.
Transferring a main battalion to the headquarters? What's going on?
After a long while, Guo Jingyun asked with a dark face: "Excuse me, Chief of Staff Xu, what is the purpose of raising these nine main battalions?"
"Counterattack!" Xu Rui said without hesitation, "In a defensive war, you must not just defend blindly. Only offense is the best defense! Therefore, we must leave enough troops to launch a counterattack at the most critical moment, so
Not only can it withstand the enemy at critical junctures, but it can also defeat or even completely annihilate the enemy!"
"Counterattack?" The leaders of the participating divisions looked at each other in confusion.
You haven't even scratched the horoscope of defending the city, and you're thinking about fighting back against the Japanese? Isn't it too worrying?
Fu Zuoyi knew he had to speak out, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Chief of Staff Xu's order is my order, and all officers and soldiers of the 35th Army must obey it unconditionally."
…
Almost at the same time, Norihide Abe was also cheering on his three infantry captains.
In this attack, the troops stationed in Mongolia were divided into left and right groups. Kuroda Shigenori's 26th Division was on the left, leading the main attack and advancing toward Gohara along the road, and Abe Norihide's independent mixed second brigade was on the right.
, bypassing Wuliang Suhai and threatening Wuyuan's flank. In addition, the fourth cavalry brigade was also under the command of Abe Norihide.
The incident that occurred at the Xiaoshanzui artillery position last night was a huge blow to the entire army stationed in Mongolia.
Abe Norihide's independent mixed second brigade was naturally no exception, so before dawn, the old devil quickly sent several of his infantry brigade captains, as well as the brigade commander of the first cavalry brigade and the two regiments
The captain called them over and encouraged them to avoid morale problems.
"Everyone." Abe Kihide's sinister eyes swept over the faces of the Japanese generals and assistant officers, and then said, "Although the 11th Field Artillery Regiment and the 12th Mountain Artillery Regiment were destroyed, I think
What I want to tell you is that even without artillery, the Imperial Japanese Army is definitely not able to compete with the cowardly China Army."
After a pause, Norihide Abe added: "What's more, each of our infantry brigade has an independent artillery squadron, and the Third Flying Regiment directly under the Front Army will also dispatch attack aircraft from Taiyuan and Datong Airport to coordinate our operations. Therefore, the Imperial Army
The firepower will not be greatly weakened, and the battlefield situation will not be fundamentally reversed."
"Hai!" All the generals and sergeants present at the meeting nodded heavily.
