Chapter 213: Sending troops to North China (IV)

In the small living room outside the chairman's office, Chen Xiuwen and Sun Yuanliang sat upright. As soon as the door in the inner room opened, the two of them quickly stood up from the sofa and stood attentive.

In addition to Chairman Jiang, the one who came out was Vice Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi.

"Jiansheng, you can announce the order first." Jiang Zhongzheng said first.

When Chen Xiuwen and Sun Yuanliang heard this, they looked at each other. On the way they came, they were indeed wrong. At this time, the order was announced, and they must have been transferred to the North China front.

Bai Chongxi walked up and glanced at the two of them. When he looked at Shen Xiuwen, Bai Chongxi, who had always been serious, nodded at him with a rare smile. Then he opened the folder in his hand and said loudly: "Order: The 72nd Army of the Military Commission directly under the Army will assemble today, and will go to North China in two days. Within ten days, we will arrive at the Nankou, along the Pingsui Line, and deploy defenses on Huailai, Juyongguan Zhinankou, and the front line of Jiuxian County. This order is Jiang Zhongzheng, the Military Commission of the National Revolutionary Army, and Chairman of the National Revolutionary Army."

"Yes." Sun Yuanliang quickly stood attentively and saluted, taking the order handed over by Bai Chongxi.

The arrangement of defense in the South Entrance was related to the turning point in the entire North China war. Bai Chongxi knew about Chiang Kai-shek's old habits and wanted to give him a few words.

"Committee, I will say goodbye first." After Bai Chongxi announced the order, he said goodbye tactfully.

Jiang Zhongzheng nodded. After Bai Chongxi left, he looked at his two burly and handsome students. Seeing that they had no excuses to accept the order, they could truly implement the orders. They were relieved and could not help but think: It was his Huangpu students, and his Central Army was the most reliable.

The face that was obviously thin and had a smile that was squeezed out from its face with deep eyes. It raised its hand and pressed it twice and said, "Sit, please sit."

After Chen Xiuwen and Sun Yuanliang sat down, Chiang Kai-shek said: "I believe you two know the tension in the current situation, no less than the time when the war between the Songhu River was started. The 29th Army was timid and made peace with the Neon Army in private, losing power and humiliating the country. Judging from the current situation, Ping and Rules are about to be out of protection, and North China is in danger. The Japanese army will never stop at Pingjin's harvest. The future strategy was determined by the Central Committee to go south to Pinghan Line, north to Pingsui Line, or to take into account both. For this reason, the Central Committee decided to curb its expansion momentum in North China. The Pinghan Line has dozens of state divisions, but the Pingsui direction is weak. To realize our strategy of "blocking Cang in the south, protecting, guarding the north, and Sui", we must first defend the Nankou."

Before, both Chen Xiuwen and Sun Yuanliang thought that even if they went north to the battlefield in North China, the battle should be on the Pinghan Line and blocked the Neon Army from going south. After all, Shanxi, Suiyuan, and Chahar are not within the actual control of the central government. The unexpected order to go north to the south entrance, and both of them showed a solemn expression on their faces. The battlefield in North China does not need the battlefield in Songhu, this is the place where the central government absolutely controls, and the troops that cooperate with them are all direct troops of the Central Army. The current order is a lonely army, and no one is sure of it.

Perhaps Jiang Zhongzheng saw the nervousness of the two, slowed down a little, pointed to the teacup on the coffee table, and greeted the two: "Drink water, this, drink a sip of water first." While saying that, he also picked up the glass cup and took a sip of boiled water.

Although Sun Yuanliang is usually very casual, he would never dare to be arrogant in front of Chiang Kai-shek. The tension was similar to Shen Xiuwen. The two of them picked up teacups and took a mechanical sip. Jiang Zhongzheng continued: "I believe you all know that Nankou and Zhangjiakou are both strategic places in North China. Especially in Nankou. If you defend Nankou, Yanshan and Yinshan will be safe. The three provinces of Cha, Jin and Sui are also safe. On the contrary, if you lose the Nankou and lose the Nankou army, you will allow the enemy inside the pass, threaten Taiyuan outside the pass, and look westward to Baotou. You are all my good students. The Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing are obvious to all. I hope you can continue to work hard. Once Peiping is lost, the Neon Army will knock on the pass and head north to defend the enemy at Juyong Pass."

The principal's encouragement was the moment when the students expressed their determination. Chen Xiuwen and Sun Yuanliang quickly stood up and said loudly: "Principal rest assured, the student is not talented, and should do his best to protect the position and complete the principal's heavy trust."

"Okay, okay. The situation is urgent now. After you go back, gather troops immediately. Remember to be sure to arrive at Nankou, the front line of the old county before November 1, and complete the situation inadvertently." Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction and continued to encourage and remind a few words. Before leaving, Chiang Kai-shek finally said: "If you have anything, you can contact me directly." This sentence made Chen Xiuwen and Sun Yuanliang feel a little relieved.

The two walked out of the military committee until they got into the car. Sun Yuanliang leaned weakly on the back seat and sighed: "Liberation, this battle is not easy to fight."

Chen Xiuwen also nodded with a serious face. He had known before that Pingjin would definitely lose, but he did not know the future development of the war. He only vaguely remembered a Pingxingguan victory that had been promoting in later generations. Now that he was about to carry out the map of North China, he knew that Pingxingguan was a gate of the Inner Great Wall, in Shanxi, but he could not remember when this Pingxingguan victory occurred. But at this time, he vaguely felt that the Pingxingguan victory should have occurred after the Neon Army attacked Shanxi along the Pingsui Line, that is, the South Entrance, including the Northwest Army's old nest Zhangjiakou will sooner or later be lost. Once the 72nd Army was transferred to the South Entrance, the pressure it would bear was not ordinary.

Moreover, the situation in North China is that since the September 18th Incident, with the advancement of the Neon Army step by step, the entire territory of Rehe has been incorporated into the Puppet Manchukuo, Jidong, and Chabei are also controlled by traitors and pseudo-Mongolian. If the Neon Army wants to attack the Pingsui Line, as the southern entrance of the entrance and exit of the Sui Line, it is definitely the focus of the Neon Army's attack, but it is not ruled out that the Neon Army will detour from other passes on the Great Wall to attack the Pingsui Line. Once other directions are broken and the Pingsui Line is cut off, it means that the rear route of the 72nd Army has been cut off. More importantly, the current Zhangjiakou defense army is Liu Ruming's unit of the 143rd Division of the 29th Army. The reinforcements in other aspects are basically several Jinsui Army. Can these troops withstand it? Can it be like the trust between several central armies during the Nanjing Defense War? Chen Xiuwen was also unsure.

"Let's go back and assemble the troops first. Two days are very tight. And this time we will pass through the territory of Shanxi, Suiyuan, Chahar Yan Laoxi, Fu Yisheng and Liu Ruming. It may not be easy to walk on the way. I will send Shulong to set off first. At that time, you can go with me and we will discuss it in the car." Then Sun Yuanliang said again.

There were two divisions of the 72nd Army. Although the 88th Division was a model division of the 88th Division, there were only two brigades and four regiments. This time, the rest and rest were all recruits, and they were not yet full. The entire division was less than 10,000. The 6th regiments of the Rong 1st Division were full of 18,000 troops. More importantly, Chen Xiuwen was famous for being a good guard. This time, when he went to Nankou, Sun Yuanliang knew that he could only rely on the Rong 1st Division to take on this stadium.

"Yes, military throne." Chen Xiuwen nodded. He understood Sun Yuanliang's thoughts, and at the same time he knew that he did not deliberately preserve his strength and let himself take the lead. After all, the strength of Rongyi Division is there. It can be said that he is better than the blue one.

After returning to the division headquarters, Chen Xiuwen immediately convened a military meeting of the regiment commander and above, announced the order to gather the troops and go to the south entrance two days later. Hearing that the troops were not going to the Pinghan Line and Jinpu Road area in the southern Pingjin that had been deduced before, but went north to the Pingsui Line, which was beyond the expectations of everyone. However, after all, no one raised any questions or questions.

"Chief of Staff, please immediately formulate a defense plan from Nankou to Juyongguan." Chen Xiuwen ordered Qiao Zhen. The reason why Chen Xiuwen was able to win battles before was, firstly, because he was foresighted, and secondly, it was largely assisted by Qiao Zhen. In terms of placing troops and setting up formations, Chen Xiuwen is definitely not as good as Qiao Zhen, who graduated from the German Army University's staff major. In the battle at Nankou, everything was blank for Chen Xiuwen. How to fight this simple defense battle should be left to professionals.

After the meeting, Chen Xiuwen left Chen Xiuwen alone.

"This time, our 72nd Army was urgently transferred to the Pingsui Line, and I don't believe it can be hidden from the Japanese. What do you think?"

Faced with Chen Xiuwen's question, Chen Zu could only answer with a wry smile. From the Battle of Songhu to the Battle of Nanjing, leaks occurred from time to time, and even the highest secrets such as the Chairman's trip would have been discovered in advance by Japanese spies. If the Chairman had not temporarily changed the plan, the history of China would have been rewritten since the Battle of Songhu. Others such as troops mobilization and marching routes were countless. In terms of intelligence, the battlefield suffered a lot. Although the newly established Military Affairs Bureau's Special Services Office 1 and Special Services Office 2 were very hard, Chen Zu also heard that Xu Enzeng and Dai Li were scolded by the Chairman for this.

Looking at Chen Zui smiled bitterly, Chen Xiuwen nodded and continued, "So, I did not hide the destination of the troops' departure during the meeting. If there were indeed those interested people in our army, we would definitely be able to find out the news and would definitely spread the information before the troops set off. You sent someone to secretly stare at them on the last time. I want to see which gods they are."

As he said that, a strange smile appeared on Chen Xiuwen's face and said, "In addition, even if they spread the information, don't disturb them, so as not to alarm them. These gods and immortals may be used by me in the future."

Intoxicated is old information. Of course, Chen Xiuwen understood what he thought, and nodded immediately. Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly turned his head with embarrassment and asked hesitantly: "Master, then...that Vice President Lin..."

Since Chen Xintong reminded Chen Xiuwen last time, he put Lin Jingyun on the list of intoxicated people. Seeing Chen Xiuwen with a embarrassed look, Chen Xiuwen smiled slightly and said, "Shuyi, I'm talking about everyone."

The intoxicated expression suddenly became sober and he hurriedly said, "Yes."
