Chapter 114 The Battle of the Central Plains 6

After the Central Plains War began, Fu Zuoyi led the Jinpu Line Group to launch an offensive in the north. Zhang Yinwu had conflicts with Fu Zuoyi, but now he actually commanded him, so he was naturally unhappy. Therefore, Zhang Yinwu, who was on the right attack, did not make it very fast. Fortunately, the Chiang army had weak troops in the southern part of the Jinpu Line, and the Jin army occupied Jinan in one go.

Seeing that Fu Zuoyi's popularity became more and more popular, Zhang Yinwu was jealous and reported to Yan Xishan that Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Xueliang had private contact. Zhang Yinwu was Yan Xishan's confidant, which naturally made Yan Xishan suspicious. Then he weakened Fu Zuoyi's military power, divided the Jin army's forces on the Jinpu Line into two, and also assigned Fu Zuoyi's two divisions to Zhang Yinwu's command.

Yan Xishan's ingenious moves laid the groundwork for the failure of the Jin army to Yanzhou and the Jiaoji Line. Zhang Yinwu led most of the troops and was attracted to the Jiaoji Line by Han Fuji. Fu Zuoyi led his troops to attack Yanzhou. The Qubu area could not be attacked because Fu Zuoyi's troops were limited, and Zhang Yinwu was not powerful. In addition, Han Fuji complained under the heavy pressure of the Jin army and at the same time had negative thoughts. All this prompted Chiang Kai-shek to re-deploy troops.

Then Chiang Kai-shek ordered Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong to lead the main corps into Shandong, aiming to quickly defeat the Jin army. The Longhai Line is now in a state of entanglement and no one can attack anyone. At this time, the southern Guangxi clan had been defeated by the Chiang army. The main corps of Jiang Guangding's army, Cai Tingkai's army, and Li Yunjie's army, located in the south, had been transferred north, and Chiang Kai-shek's army began to dominate.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek transferred the main forces of the Second Corps of Longhai Road: Hu Zongnan, Jiang Guangding and other troops to fight in Shandong, and all concentrated on the front lines of Yanzhou and Qubu to organize battles. After a fierce battle, Fu Zuoyi was unable to resist and began to withdraw back to Jinan. This place was different from the original history. At that time, Fu Zuoyi's troops were defeated by the Chiang army due to limited troops and fled northwards. His troops were in the Dawen River and were defeated in a hurry. Many people fell into the water and drowned. As a result, they ran to Jinan to gain a foothold.

Due to Mu Yaping, Fu Zuoyi's main force was more than the original history. The weapons and ammunition were greatly strengthened. Especially in terms of communication and communication, it played a vital role in Fu Zuoyi's effective control of the troops. Therefore, Fu Zuoyi retreated calmly, and the loss of retreat to Jinan was not great.

Taking advantage of the victory, Chiang Kai-shek ordered all troops to pursue the victory. At the same time, in order to strengthen the offensive on the Jinpu Line, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Li Yunheng's 16th army to be transported to Qingdao via Shanghai and by sea, strengthened the Korean Fujiu troops, and counterattacked Jinan. The situation suddenly became worse, and the Jin army instantly turned from the offensive posture to the defensive.

The July sun is baking the earth, but it is far from the heat of war. In the Jinan Administrative Office, the emotion of failure is shrouded in everyone's heart. At this time, Fu Zuoyi looked at the huge military map on the wall with a serious expression and frowned. He felt powerless about the changes in the entire battle situation. He did not understand why such variables suddenly appeared in a good situation.

Fu Zuoyi wanted to generate electricity to Mu Yaping, hoping to get his advice, but he did not dare to send a report. Since the current telegram is very low, once Yan Xishan knows about this kind of telegram, it is undoubtedly a search for death. The battles on the front line of Jinan, including those in Qubu and Yanzhou, have such variables, are completely caused by Yan Xishan's suspicion of him, and the stupid Zhang Yinwu would not command the battle at all. Of course, Fu Zuoyi knows all this.

"The situation is not good! The defeat in Qubu and Yanzhou was completely caused by Zhang Yinwu, a bastard. He held heavy troops and was defeated under the first attack of Chiang's army, which caused my flanks to be empty, and failure was inevitable." The chief of staff said angrily. Another staff officer agreed: "The chief of staff, if you come to command this battle, we can at least defend the position, and it will not cause this situation. I don't know what Chief Yan thought and why he gave Zhang Yinwu so much power."

Fu Zuoyi stopped him and said, "In the face of the great enemy, unity is the priority. Don't be confused and suspicious. Maybe Chief Yan has his own difficulties!" The Chief of Staff said, "Military Commander, the Chiang army has invested heavily in heavy troops. I'm afraid Jinan will not be able to defend. I wonder what the military commander plans?" Fu Zuoyi said helplessly: "Soldiers regard obeying orders as their duty. Don't be confused and suspicious and suspicious to disturb the morale of the military. We can only wait for Chief Yan's orders."

Fu Zuoyi spoke, and even though the officers were dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything else. At this time, an officer on duty walked in and came beside Fu Zuoyi and muttered a few words. Fu Zuoyi's eyes lit up and he quickly walked out of the war room with the officer. Soon, in Fu Zuoyi's private residence, he met a young man from afar.

When the young man saw Fu Zuoyi, he immediately raised his hand and gave a standard military salute and said, "Captain Fu, I am Mu Yaping's guard, I'm here to send you a letter." After saying that, the young man took out a letter from his arms. Fu Zuoyi ordered the young man to take down to rest, then opened the letter and read it quickly. After reading the letter, he thought for a moment and called the guard captain.

Fu Zuoyi ordered the guard captain to personally arrange for people to go to Tianjin and quickly send his wife and children to Mu Mansion in the capital. Then he strode to the war room and announced that the officers above the brigade would come to the military headquarters for a meeting. Everyone was nervous and thought that there was another major military situation, and many staff officers even showed panic expressions.

After a while, the senior officer arrived. Fu Zuoyi said in a serious tone: At present, the Longhai Line is in a state of anxiety, and the offensive of the Northwest Army is weakening. One important reason is that the logistics of the Northwest Army has problems and the continuous combat capabilities are exhausted. According to reliable information, the Guangxi clique has failed in Jiangnan, and the general's heavy troops have been transferred to Jiangbei to participate in the war. Our Jinpu Line has been newly defeated, and Chiang Kai-shek has transferred the 16th Army from the sea to join the battle group. Jinan may not be able to defend it."

Suddenly, whispers came from the bottom, and Fu Zuoyi said: "Faced with such a crisis, we must consider the issue of safe retreat. According to reliable information, Zhang Xueliang is likely to enter the pass and participate in the war. If that happens, it will be a problem for us to retreat unscathed. Therefore, I decided to draw a regiment north to occupy the important land of Langfang. Once the situation is out of control, we will withdraw safely. Today's military meeting is a first-class secret. Anyone who wants to leak it will be engaged in military law."

In fact, there are many situations that Fu Zuoyi did not tell everyone here because it was the secret between him and Mu Yaping. In the letter, Mu Yaping analyzed the information of Chiang Kai-shek's focus on attacking the Jin army and told him that failure was a foregone conclusion. In addition, the combat situation on the Longhai Line and Pinghan Line were analyzed in full swing. In fact, Fu Zuoyi did not know many situations, especially the competition outside the battlefield. After reading Mu Yaping's letter, he thought the situation was serious.

Chiang Kai-shek's uniqueness is that he adopted the strategy of differentiating and dismantling the Yanfeng coalition. When the Longhai line was stalemate and when Chiang's army was afraid of fighting with the Northwest Army, Chiang Kai-shek believed that such a stalemate was not a long-term solution. On the one hand, he sent people to the Northeast to lobby Zhang Xueliang to send troops, and allowed him to transfer the Tianjin and Beijing area to his sphere of influence, and also agreed to give Zhang Xueliang 30 million in the war fee. The final conditions proposed were even more generous, and the entire North China was controlled by Zhang Xueliang.

What prompted Chiang Kai-shek to make up his mind was that the red armed forces led by the Communist Party of Jiangnan began to grow and formed several bases in Jiangnan, which was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek believed that if he continued to fight like this, both sides would suffer heavy losses. If the Communist Party was made bigger, all efforts would be wasted.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek spent a lot of money and mobilized all his forces to divide and disintegrate the miscellaneous army in the Jin army and the generals of the Northwest Army. For a while, the Central Plains War developed a rare feature in history. On the Pinghan Line, He Chengjun, the commander-in-chief of Chiang's army, set off silver bullets and a beautiful woman's offensive in accordance with Chiang Kai-shek's request. He collected all the beautiful prostitutes in Wuhan and Shanghai cities, and organized several floats to send them to the front line.

He Chengjun called it a military family. These prostitutes not only met the needs of their own troops, but also welcomed them even if the other troops came. After the generals who opposed Chiang came, they were delicious and served with delicious food, smoked smoked smoked, and played with beauty casually. They also did not charge any fees. They came and went freely, treated everything with courtesy and treated as guests of honor.

In addition, depending on the size of the official position, I gave some silver dollars before leaving. Such preparations are unique and there will always be something that suits someone's taste. The effect will soon appear. For a time, the morale of the anti-Chengjiang coalition forces fluctuated and turned to it like a vulture. This sugar-coated shell has amazing effect. The sound of guns and cannons on the Pinghan Line almost disappeared, and only the sound of rock-scissors and demise were heard.

Another very important thing is that the logistics supply of the anti-Chiang coalition, especially the Northwest Army and the Miscellaneous Army, had major problems. On the Longhai Line, due to the protracted war, both sides invested nearly one million troops, and the army spent a lot of combat expenditures. Yan Xishan, who mainly provided logistics supplies, was gradually tight at hand. He was skilled in calculating and had to deduct military pay and reduce the supply of combat materials.

For a moment, the Northwest Army urged weapons and ammunition and food telegrams flying like snowflakes. Yan Xishan was in a difficult position, and later threw these telegrams around as waste paper. The Northwest Army lacked food and ammunition, and the morale of the army was affected, even to the point of eating pickles and steamed buns. Even more, Yan Xishan later deducted supplies from the Jin army troops, and Shi Yousan's troops were deeply affected, which created conditions for Shi Yousan to rebel against Chiang again, and the situation of the anti-Chiang coalition was dim.

What's even more terrible is that Chiang Kai-shek told his subordinates after a false alarm at the Dezhou Station: "Their mission is to attack the airport and complete the attack mission. If we find that we were at the station, there were only more than 200 guards. Assuming that the cavalry reached the station and there were no other troops at the station, the commander was all captured at once. Perhaps the future history will be written. Given the strong combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army, we must use things outside the battlefield to achieve a soldier who will defeat others without fighting."

Therefore, a person who deserves the death of the Northwest Army appears.
