Chapter 166: The Merit of Digging a Corner
Chapter 166: The achievements of poaching
Everyone present was slightly stunned. Yan Xishan looked at Fu Zuoyi meaningfully. He thought that his thundering methods just now would make the generals feel deeply frightened and chilled. Unexpectedly, Fu Zuoyi was so tough. It seemed that the previous killing of chickens and scaring monkeys had no effect at all.
So Yan Xishan immediately changed his strategy and said, "If Yisheng's troops also have equipment as good as Zhang Xuewu, it would be no problem to stick to Chengde. Do you all think so?"
Everyone on the side immediately echoed the news. Fu Zuoyi smiled helplessly and said, "Zhang Xuewu is just from the Northeast Military Academy. Compared with the Japanese army, it is only at the level of a junior military academy in Nanjing. Even the Nanjing Military Officers and Army School is only at the level of a European junior military academy. There are German instructors in the Mainland University. I don't like to say that Zhang Hanqing is aware of the military, but Zhang Xuewu is one of the anomalies. If I hold on to Chengde with the same conditions, I will be wiped out at most five days. The advantage of the enemy and us in the war is that they rely on weapons, and the victory of the war is determined by the soldiers. Zhang Xuewu's command ability is extraordinary. He can control the troops without falling into pieces without breaking even if he suffers or suffers. It is unprecedented in the national war. Can Zhang Xuewu be the one who commands troops?"
Fu Zuoyi paused for a moment, but everyone continued with ashamed and surprised expression: "I quietly crossed the Rehe River after the war. After repeated observations between the two armies in Chengde, Zhang Xuewu understood the combat characteristics and firepower systems of the Japanese army. All fortifications were built against the weaknesses of the Japanese army. Moreover, his troops were rigorous in appearance. Soldiers and officers went on the streets to travel together, three of them were in a troop, and no one was in a state of disguise. The clothes were clean and the transactions were fair. They were very loved by the local people. The iron army during the Northern Expedition was not as good as that. Who dared to taste the tiger beard for such an army?"
Fu Zuoyi's words calmed down everyone present. Fu Zuoyi has always been very calm and never slandered anyone easily, nor praised him. He is a serious person. Since Fu Zuoyi gave Zhang Xuewu such a high evaluation and was unwilling to compete with him, the rest of the people present should think carefully. Zhang Xuewu is absolutely unambiguous in killing the Japanese. If it is frictional, it will be so fierce and powerful. It will be difficult for anyone to go to Suiyuan!
Yan Xishan looked at Shang Zhen and Yang Aiyuan, who were absent-minded not far away. Shang Zhen was a member of the Suiyuan governor. He made five or six million yuan in sales of car bags with Yang Aiyuan during his tenure. It was a good idea to make money. Shang Zhen is now very close to the Nanjing government. His 32nd Army is also a Division A Army provided by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
I think Shang Zhen was a person who had experienced many experiences in his early years. He was a man of culture and martial arts, but in the end he had to surrender to himself. However, after ten years of running around and horses to serve him, I am afraid that it was just for the unforgettable grace of knowing. However, in his nature, he would never be willing to be controlled by others in everything!
Yan Xishan looked at Yang Aiyuan again. His 34th Army was absolutely prohibited. Yang Aiyuan was also very attentive to himself. However, he had always lacked confidence in opposing Chiang, but he was still quite obedient. During the Central Plains War, Yang Aiyuan accepted 900,000 Jiang's oceans, but in the end he did not turn against him. It proved that he could pass the exam.
In Yan Xishan's opinion, Yang Aiyuan's ability is insufficient, but he still has character. At critical moments, he still needs a loyal general. Otherwise, if he has enough ability, what can he stand up to be famous?
Yan Xishan repeatedly compared Shang Zhen and Yang Aiyuan, thinking that the only person who could listen to his greeting was probably Yang Aiyuan. After all, Shang Zhen was paid by the Central Army!
After everyone left, Yan Xishan left Yang Aiyuan alone by his side. Seeing this, Yang Aiyuan had already understood the situation, so hesitated and said, "If the commander ordered me to obey, but Chief Yan, you should know that Zhang Xuewu is not a good person, and my 34th Army cannot be taken to Suiyuan. At least the teaching regiment and the 9th Brigade, the artillery battalion must be kept!"
Yan Xishan was slightly stunned. Before he could start to gesture, Yang Aiyuan was ready to be beaten and wiped out? Yan Xishan comforted Yang Aiyuan and said, "We don't have anything else in Shanxi, but we have money and guys. I will give you more than much of the loss. Don't be afraid. If he, Zhang Xuewu, dares to fight against friendly troops? If you go over, don't fight with him head-on, you will be rogue with him. Now the more than 40 county magistrates below are our own people. If you are in Suiyuan, Zhang Xuewu will not be able to take over the place. At that time, you will be motivated to make trouble in the local gentry. As long as he, Zhang Xuewu, dares to suppress him, you will be sure that he will not be able to take over!"
Yang Aiyuan hesitated a little uneasy and said, "Then I just obey the order!"
Yan Xishan nodded with satisfaction, and for a momentum was quite impressive to point out the country, but Yang Aiyuan, who was standing in front of the map, could not be energetic no matter what.
Zhang Xuewu, who had saved 10,000 Czech-making rifles and 300 Czech-making machine guns in Peking, then realized that what Peking and Tianjin had reserved was not only a large amount of supplies he had snatched from Shenyang, but also a large amount of weapons and equipment imported from abroad after Zhang Xueliang entered the pass during the Central Plains War. These weapons and materials were stored in Beijing and Tianjin, which means that Zhang Xueliang had no plans to return them to the pass.
In the eyes of the generals of the Northeast Army, Zhang Xueliang's generousness seemed to be a little too far. The Northeast Army supplemented the Central Army with weapons and equipment? What's going on? But who made Zhang Xuewu be Zhang Xueliang's cousin, and this cousin saved his cousin from danger not long ago to avoid the pain of leaving the world. Some people also knew the so-called inside story when Zhang Xueliang killed Zhang Xuecheng, and felt guilty and very guilty. Therefore, although this cousin is now the commander of the Central Army's Lieutenant General, he is like the Northeast Army's own people, and no one dares to say a word about it.
As soon as Zhang Xuewu arrived in Peiping, he was summoned by He Yingqin. The Minister of Military Affairs patted Zhang Xuewu on the shoulder with great joy and said, "The Chairman's most headache was not expected to solve the problem of your troubles. Brother, you will be very happy. The Chairman is very happy and ordered me to notify you that the Executive Yuan has ordered you to clean up the local area and serve as the Chairman of Rehe Province and Chahar, the Acting Chairman of Suiyuan, and the military and political integration, waiting for the Japanese invaders to fight against the Japanese invaders! In addition, the Ministry of Military Affairs will soon organize people to go to Germany to purchase and negotiate military ordnance. The Chairman's meaning is that if you are interested, you can send someone to go there, and you can also purchase some supplements by yourself!"
He Yingqin's praise made Zhang Xuewu a little confused? When did he do something that made Nanjing appreciate so much? It seems that he only left Nanjing for two or three days? What's going on?
Although Zhang Xuewu was puzzled, he did not reveal it. Instead, he said with the words of He Yingqin: "Minister He, we have not given you this, why does the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Chairman cause trouble?"
He Yingqin laughed and said, "No trouble, but next time you are trapped in the lonely city, no one is willing to drive your army to fight for rescue! Your move is really amazing. Sun Dianying, Song Zheyuan, Shang Zhen and other troops asked the central government for a large number of supplementary weapons, materials and soldiers. If the Nanjing government does not give it, they will raise it on their own until they raise enough. They also asked the Nanjing government for a total of 5.7 million pensions and return fees. It was like a lion's talk. He knew that the Nanjing government would not pay, but he still threatened the government like this, otherwise it would be a disturbance."
But unexpectedly, in just ten days, Sun Dianying concentrated all his troops in Duolun. Song Zheyuan, Shang Zhen and other troops returned quickly, and even ignored the million harbors of food that the central government was about to send. This was all due to your poaching! Don’t let Song Zheyuan see you now, otherwise it is possible to fight!"
Ah? Zhang Xuewu was stunned and said, "Song Zheyuan is also a powerful general, and his energy is not so small, right? We just want to ask if there are any injuries in the brothers who have not been cured, left behind, etc. Let's help with the shelter! We are saying that the military pay of the Rehe Legion is real, and if there are officers and soldiers in the local army who are willing to come to the Central Army to develop, it is also implemented! Besides, Rehe is the front line of the anti-Japanese war, so we also need such officers and soldiers with combat experience! Just a few people, Song Zheyuan, is he as for?"
He Yingqin was also stunned and said, "You are afraid you don't know yet? Your people are crazy now. They are pulling people openly with big carriages to install oceans. Friends are pulling friends. These are normal methods. It is said that there are also people who beat sticks and tie people up. Small troops directly disarmed the armed forces in the unit! Song Zheyuan told me that he had formed a teaching regiment for a short time, but there were less than 700 left. They were all pulled away by the commander of your Suiyuan Garrison Division named Zhanyang. The two armies almost fought on the spot! Later, Xu Tingyao came to complain, in order to prevent you from expanding a military police battalion, but you came to the camp and left almost three companies. The airs were dispersed at that time. Now your Rehe Legion is annoying!"
Zhang Xuewu was stunned and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have given a very unequal or even outrageous order, which was to let his subordinates go crazy to poach the enemy. Whoever had the troops full first would be replenished according to the organization, and whoever had the full organization would be able to replenish 70% of the equipment, and the rest would be replenished at the end of the year.
Guns are the lifeblood of soldiers! Not to mention light and heavy mortars and mountain cannons, Zhang Xuewu could imagine how his subordinates fulfilled their orders without fail.
Chapter completed!
