Chapter 942 Extortion

Leng Tiefeng said: "Ten yuan for travel expenses per person? Lao Xu, that's a lot."

Xu Rui said: "As much as you want, ten yuan per person, that's it."

Xu Rui really feels sorry for these young men who were captured, but at this stage, that's all he can do. But in the future, sooner or later, the Dabie Mountains will become the territory of their military division. At that time, he can start to

By implementing the policy of reducing rents and interest rates in the Dabie Mountains, the lives of the people in the mountainous areas will become easier.

Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, this is nearly 300,000 yuan."

Xu Rui glanced at Wan Xiangyun, Li Mutang and other captives, and said coldly: "Anyway, we don't need to pay for this money. Someone will naturally pay for us when the time comes."

Leng Tiefeng asked: "Who will pay for us?"

Xu Rui chuckled and said: "Who else could it be, of course Chairman Chiang!"

"Chairman Chiang?" Leng Tiefeng said, "Old Xu, what are you thinking?"

Xu Rui ignored Leng Tiefeng and turned to Xiao Taohong behind him: "Xiao Taohong, immediately send a telegram in clear code to the National Army Headquarters, saying that Wan Xiangyun has personally admitted that he invaded Feixi Town and attacked me.

The military operations of the Feixi Independent Regiment were ordered by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and he was just following orders..."

"My mother!" After hearing this, Wan Xiangyun, who was pretending to be dead, immediately came back to life and shouted, "Captain Xu, you are trying to kill me, you are trying to kill me.

You can't do this to your life, you can't do this, if you really have people send this telegram, will I still have a way to survive?"

In desperation, Wan Xiangyun's hometown dialect came out.

Xu Rui ignored him and said: "Wan Xiangyun was just following orders, but it is a pity that the military adventure of the 32nd Army was thwarted by us. Now, Wan Xiangyun is the commander-in-chief and chief of staff of the group army.

Li Motang, several army commanders, division commanders, and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers have all been captured by us."

Hearing this, Xiao Taohong knew what Xu Rui wanted to do, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Xu Rui added: "No matter who you are, if you do something wrong, you must accept punishment. Chairman Chiang, as the leader of the government, is no exception. In this way, if Chairman Chiang still wants his subordinates, if he still wants the three

These senior generals of the Twelfth Army and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, then use the money to redeem them."

Hearing this, Li Motang, Xia Hanzhong and other senior generals couldn't help but feel stupid.

What's going on? Is Xu Rui trying to blackmail Chairman Chiang Kai-shek? Does he really dare to do that?

Xu Rui seemed not to see the surprised expressions on the faces of Li Mutang and others, and continued: "The price of redeeming a person is like this, the commander-in-chief of the group army is 200,000 oceans. This absolutely conscience price is really not expensive, Chief of Staff

Divide it in half with the army commander, let’s calculate it to 100,000 yuan. Divide it in half with the army chief of staff and division commander, let’s calculate it as 50,000 yuan. The brigade commander, regiment commander and so on below will calculate it in half, one thousand yuan each, the battalion commander and the company commander.

, platoon commanders, etc., they are given as free additions, but the 20,000 officers and soldiers have to be calculated at ten yuan each, so the total is 1.18 million yuan, I will give you a small change, just for us

A round number of one million yuan is enough. When the money arrives, we will release the person. If there is no money, we can also use the materials as a deduction."

After a pause, Xu Rui added: "Oh, by the way, this is just the capitation fee. Weapons and equipment are calculated separately. If Chairman Chiang still wants to redeem the weapons and equipment, especially the full set of equipment of the Italian mountain artillery battalion, I am afraid he will still have to pay for it." We need to add another 500,000 yuan, which adds up to 1.5 million yuan. Finally, I will give you a 20% discount, and it will be 1.2 million yuan!"

Listening to Xu Rui's ramble, Xiao Taohong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Wan Xiangyun, Li Motang and other senior generals of the 32nd Army looked at each other and were all confused. Is Xu Rui just talking, or is he really planning to use them as bargaining chips to blackmail the Chairman? Is this guy Don’t you know how to write the word “death”? Does he really dare to do this?

(Dividing line)

When Chairman Chiang received the news, he was inspecting the newly reorganized Fifth Army in Hengyang.

Chairman Chiang has high hopes for this new mechanized army that has just been reorganized. Not only has a large number of strategic resources been allocated to the Fifth Army, but also a large number of Huangpu generals have been transferred to the personnel, such as Du Yuming, Dai Anlan, Qiu Qingquan, Liao Yaoxiang and others are all fierce generals known for their bravery and skill in battle.

Chairman Chiang took the Meiling special plane late last night and flew directly from Chongqing to Hengyang.

Flying at night is dangerous, but it also has no choice, because most of Hunan has fallen and Hengyang has become a front line. If you fly during the day, you will most likely be discovered by the Japanese aviation reconnaissance aircraft, which will be troublesome. So for safety reasons, Chiang Kai-shek The Chairman's special plane can only fly at night.

It was dawn when the Meiling special plane arrived in Hengyang.

Du Yuming brought Dai Anlan, Qiu Qingquan, Liao Yaoxiang, Zheng Dongguo and a large number of senior generals to Hengyang Airport to pick up the plane. They found that the Meiling special plane had been parked on the apron, and the airport staff for the pick-up had also been prepared. The red carpet had been The paving has been completed and the gangway has been set up, but the cabin door of the special plane has not been opened.

After waiting for a long time, the door of the special plane still did not open. Du Yuming couldn't help but walk to Hunan Provincial Chairman Zhang Zhizhong, who was also picking up the plane at the airport, and asked in a low voice: "Chairman Zhang, why don't you get off the plane?"

Zhang Zhizhong smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Commander Du, I really don't know this."

In desperation, Du Yuming and Zhang Zhizhong could only continue to wait.

Du Yuming and Zhang Zhizhong did not know that at this time, Chairman Chiang was furious on the Meiling plane.

"Niang Xipi! This is going to turn upside down. Xu Rui is going to turn the world upside down!" Chairman Jiang, holding a civilized stick, kept running back and forth in the cabin while cursing, "A small colonel, commander of an army regiment, He is only a major in the military, but he dares to openly blackmail me, the chairman of the military committee, what does he want to do?"

Chen Cheng, who was following him, said sternly: "Commissioner, Xu Rui's move is indeed too much. He is blatantly blaspheming the leader and the authority of the National Government, so he must be severely punished!"

"Severe punishment? How to punish him? Catch him and kill him? Can you catch him?" Chen Cheng's words immediately became a drop of water thrown into the frying pan, igniting Chairman Chiang's raging anger. The director roared loudly, "In the final analysis, this matter is due to Wan Xiangyun's incompetence. It's in vain that you thought so highly of him in the first place."

When Chen Cheng heard this, he immediately lowered his head in shame, because when the 32nd Army was first formed, he recommended to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek that Wan Xiangyun be appointed commander-in-chief of the Army. But now, the 32nd Army's The four main divisions were defeated so easily by the Dameishan Independent Regiment. Including Wan Xiangyun, the commander-in-chief of the group army, more than 20,000 people in the entire army became prisoners of the Dameishan Independent Regiment. Faced with this reality , Chen Cheng, even though he has a smooth tongue, can no longer defend Wan Xiangyun in front of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

At that moment, Chen Cheng didn't say anything anymore, but he said in his heart, Lao Wan, Lao Wan, just ask for your blessings. Anyway, I have said everything you need to say for you. This is worthy of the five hundred thousand dollars you gave me.

!

Bai Chongxi on the other side seemed very relaxed. He asked you, Chiang Kai-shek, to mix sand into our fifth theater and let you force the 32nd Army into our fifth theater. Are you going to suffer now? I told you a few months ago.

However, Dabie Mountain is too close to Damei Mountain, so it is best to station a force that can fight hard.

Bai Chongxi favored Liao Lei's 21st Army, the 7th Army under the 21st Army, and the 41st Army were all the trump cards of the Guangxi faction, especially the 7th Army, which can be said to be the pillar of the Guangxi Army.

Only with such hard-core troops stationed in the Dabie Mountains can it be possible to withstand the pressure of the Dameishan Independent Regiment.

But in the end, Chiang Kai-shek chose the 32nd Army Group recommended by Chen Cheng.

It can be said that Bai Chongxi was well aware of the quarrel between Chen Cheng and Wan Xiangyun, so he did not stop him. However, privately, he had been waiting to see the joke between Wan Xiangyun and Chen Cheng.

In the end, Bai Chongxi really had to wait, and Wan Xiangyun and the 32nd Army really made a big joke.

A majestic commander-in-chief of a group army was actually captured by the Communist Party. Not only was he a prisoner, he was actually used as a bargaining chip for blackmail. Moreover, it was him, Old Chiang Kai-shek, who was extorting money. How could he not be angry with Old Chiang Kai-shek?

If Bai Chongxi were someone like Jiang, he would probably be angry to death.

Seeing Chairman Chiang getting angry there, Bai Chongxi felt so happy.

But on the surface, Bai Chongxi was still worried and said: "Commissioner, Xu Rui's move is certainly excessive, but the matter must be solved after all. Xu Rui is a fool. If he cannot meet his conditions, he will

Maybe he might do something crazy, and then it would be difficult to deal with it."

"Crazy move?" Chairman Chiang frowned and said, "What move?"

Bai Chongxi said calmly: "For example, kill Wan Xiangyun, and then integrate the four divisions of the 32nd Army!"

"Killing Wan Xiangyun would be a clean slate. He should have died long ago." Chairman Jiang snorted and added, "As for the four divisions that will be recruited into the 32nd Army, lend him some courage!"

Bai Chongxi frowned and said, "Then the appointment means that you won't pay?"

"Give money? Give him a big-headed devil!" Chairman Chiang stomped the floor under his feet with a civilized stick, then turned to the captain of the guard Wang Shihe and said, "Shihe, immediately send a report to Yan'an and the New Fourth Army headquarters to inform them

Make stern representations and give them 24 hours to release him, otherwise, the Communist Party will bear all the consequences!"

Wang Shihe said yes, turned around and walked into the communications office next door to send a telegram.

Bai Chongxi looked on with cold eyes, but smiled faintly. I was afraid that this matter was a stretch.
