Republic of China game

There are all seasons and eight delicacies on the table, and there is a Chongqing hot pot rolling with red splashes, which is the most lively time.

Luo Yaoguo sat across from Zeng Qi, with a wine glass in his hand, looking at the proud leader of the Youth Party with a half-smile.According to Yoshiko Kawashima, the Zeng party leader will be the future prime minister.This time, he was the one who advised Zhang Zuolin to solve the crisis in the Feng family.It's just... the crisis of the Feng family has been broken, but how should the country's crisis be broken?

"Brother Mu Han is now proud of his spring breeze. He is faintly a leader among the young politicians in our country. I really admire him!" Luo Yaoguo tasted the wine, feeling a lot of emotion.

Zeng Qi hurriedly laughed and said: "How can my brother's achievements compare with General Fuwen's? Both the general's uncle and nephew are Premier Sun's right-hand men, and the future is uncertain!"

Luo Yaoguo also laughed, as if listening happily, fixed his eyes on Zeng Qi, and said with a smile: "Brother Mu Han is going to be the Prime Minister of the State soon, I wonder if you have forgotten the purpose of your Youth Party?"

Zeng Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, gently turned the wine glass in his hand, pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that my younger brother will soon fulfill the purpose of our party when he takes office, and then I will ask Brother Fuwen and the Kuomintang to help me a lot." yes."

Luo Yaoguo took a sip of his wine, and his face gradually became serious: "Could it be that in the eyes of Brother Mu Han, the only power is the Soviet Union? As far as I know... our eastern neighbors have been planning the three northeastern provinces, I don't know Does Brother Mu Han have any clever tricks to crack it?"

As soon as these words were uttered, there was a sudden silence in the room, and all eyes in the room were focused.Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, met these gazes calmly, looked around, and finally met Zeng Qi's gaze again.Both of them smiled slightly and watched each other quietly, as if they were carefully reading what was behind each other's eyes.

Zeng Qi, the soul of the Youth Party, has squeezed into the inner circle of the Feng Clan in just two years, and he is now the Prime Minister.This person has strategy and ambition, and now there is such a stage for him to show off his strengths.It's a pity...he took a bad deck of cards, and this deck was exactly the one he didn't want.The current situation of the Fengxi Central Committee seems to be a replica of the Kuomintang Central Committee in history. It also only has a small territory in a few provinces. It is also plagued by internal and external troubles. Cold arrow... Will they be able to muster up the courage to resist to the end?And what kind of tricks can Zeng Qi contribute to the Zhang family and his son?

Under the eyes of everyone, Luo Yaoguo laughed, with a little heroism, he stood up carelessly, walked to Zeng Qi's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother Mu Han, my news is absolutely reliable! You will be in the Feng family soon. My dear butler, you must pay attention to this matter, and you must prepare for the worst. Now that the Feng family puts the lair under the tiger's mouth, he can bite him hard every now and then! I'm afraid If you want to fight, you are powerless. And... when the time comes, even if you resist to the end, I, the Minister of Armaments of the Nationalist Government, will definitely support you. Well, that's all I can say, I hope you You can do better than us in this matter..."

Chapter 0297 Gambling

On October 25, [-], with Qu Qiubai, Mao Zedong, and Zhou Enlai issuing the "Order Concerning the Red Army's Eastward Advance and Crusade against the Traitor Yan Xishan", the prelude to the deadly struggle between the old and new forces in China was officially kicked off.One side has been accumulating energy for a long time, and the other side is also deliberate.On the day when the CCP’s order for the Eastern Expedition was issued, the Central Red Army divided its troops into two groups, one forcibly crossing the Yellow River and attacking Shanxi from the west, and the other going south from Suiyuan to Datong, an important town in northern Shanxi.For a time, the entire land of Sanjin was ignited with raging beacon smoke...

Luo Yaoguo heard the expected news on the military column going to Handan, and at the moment he was accompanying Fengjun veteran Zhang Zuoxiang to Handan to "inspect" military affairs.I don't know what behind-the-scenes deal the Kuomintang leftists have reached with Feng Jun?They decided to hand over the Chahar Special Zone, which had been in operation for more than a year, to the Fengjun in exchange for the positions of Handan and Henan Military Affairs Supervisors.And Zhang Zuoxiang will stay in Handan until the end of the battle in Henan... In fact, he is a hostage sent by the Fengjun.

In a luxury carriage hanging at the end of the military column, there were only two passengers, Luo Yaoguo and Zhang Zuoxiang.

This veteran of the Feng family was originally a green forest hero who robbed houses, but his character is said to be not bad, so he must be a good robber, right?But now his talking and laughing are all purely celebrity style, elegant and refined, it seems that he does not seem to be born in the green forest at all.

The train rumbled southward, and the only sound in the entire carriage was the sound of the wheels hitting the rails.Luo Yaoguo leaned on a sofa, half-closed his eyes, and stared at Zhang Zuoxiang opposite.Seeing that he was still holding the copy of the telegram announcing the outbreak of war in his hand, he read it carefully over and over again, and he didn't know how long it would take to read it.

This war can be said to be a life-and-death battle for the Feng family. If they win, they may live for several more years. If they lose... I am afraid they will be kicked out of the pass again?It's no wonder that Zhang Zuoxiang (Zhang Zuoxiang) is worried!

Now the Feng family is surviving from the dead, and every step is a gamble. If there is a slight mistake, it will repeat the mistakes of history, and people will be kicked out of the pass. Even Little Japan may stab the Feng family again in the back. .

The first step is to ask Yan Xishan to contain the main force of the Communist Party.The key to this step is that both Yan Xishan and the Communist Party will suffer... To be honest, it is very difficult to achieve this step with Yan Laoxi's fighting skills!Therefore, the Feng Department also arranged for Guo Songling to bring in an army as backup... If General Zhang and Yan Laoxi can work together to let the Feng army enter the Jin Dynasty first, and then under the unified command of Guo Songling, then they can be invincible.It's just that this kind of thing is purely delusional. Yan Laoxi will not agree to Fengjun's entry into Jin unless his life is on the line. Similarly, Fengjun who entered Jin will not let go of the opportunity to annex Jinyan.This situation is similar to that encountered by Chiang Kai-shek in another time and space...

The second step is to throw Wu Peifu out to the Kuomintang and the National Army to carve up.The key to the second step is that the Kuomintang's direct lineal army did not help the war so quickly.With Wu Peifu's good fighting skills and 10,000+ "direct-anhui coalition forces", it is no problem to withstand the two-way attack of the Kuomintang leftists and the national army.But if the direct descendants of the Kuomintang in the south go north... Wu Ziyu can't resist it anyway.This Feng Faction is fighting against the internal contradictions of the Kuomintang. If the left and right factions of the Kuomintang are united, Wu Peifu will have to step down in less than ten days... But this one, the Feng Faction has some chances of winning.Anyway, until now, except that I was randomly assigned by Sun Yat-sen to serve as a "military adviser" to the leftists, there has been no movement in the south. It is estimated that sending myself to Hu Jingyi and Deng Yanda's army must be Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi's idea to Sun Yat-sen .After all, in the camp of the right wing of the Kuomintang, I and that uncle who is abusive are still relatively friendly to the left... If you get rid of yourself, the right wing of the Kuomintang will have a lot of ways to delay sending troops, even if they send troops, they must be out of work.

The third step: Feng's bet is that the Soviet Union dare not provoke a large-scale war to invade the Northeast.According to intelligence, after defeating the Red Army in the Northeast, the Feng Faction will find an opportunity to forcibly take back the Middle Eastern Railway in order to provoke a Sino-Soviet conflict.Once there is a conflict between China and the Soviet Union, the various armed forces in the country must take a stand.Do you support the government in taking back the sovereignty of the Middle East Road to resist the Soviet invasion, or stand on the side of Soviet Russia and oppose the central government.The key to this gamble is to control the Sino-Soviet conflict within a range that the Feng faction can bear. The Feng faction can win the battle, but it cannot lose its money.But will the Soviet Union let the Feng family get what it wants?Isn't weakening the Feng family helping the CCP?As for Japan's opportunity to invade the Northeast because of the weakening of the Feng family, I'm afraid this is a situation that Soviet Russia would like to see, right?

The fourth step: After defeating the Communist Party and stabilizing the situation in Northeast China and Shanxi, the Feng Faction will start a new war to eliminate the forces of the leftists of the Kuomintang and the National Army in the north.They still have to bet on the contradiction between the left and right in the Kuomintang, and the right will not save it.And... Japan's invasion of Northeast China will happen during or after this war.My layout in the north these years is for this day.

……

"General Fuwen, what do you think Wu Ziyu will do in response to the two-pronged attack of the 21st Division of the National Army (the 21st Division of the Central Army, the designation of the leftist army of the Kuomintang)?"

Zhang Zuoxiang had finished reading the telegram at some point, and asked Luo Yaoguo a question with a smile.

Luo Yaoguo woke up from his own thoughts when he heard Zhang Zuoxiang's voice.He looked up at Zhang Zuoxiang who was full of smiles, and scratched his head: "Wu Ziyu's countermeasure?"

Zhang Zuoxiang smiled slightly: "Isn't General Fuwen a 'military adviser' now? Does he already have a plan for the whole war in Henan?"

Damn, isn't this military adviser just "hired to ask questions"?Why do you still have a plan in your chest?

Luo Yaoguo was taken aback, and thought to himself: "What will Wu Peifu do to break the situation? What would he do if he were Wu Peifu? Now he is being attacked on three sides, but the main force of the Kuomintang in the south will not move for a while. So the only The opportunity is to defeat the North Road and West Road first. And Feng Yuxiang and Wu Peifu on West Road have a deep hatred... Should I beat him first? It would be fine if that is the case. But the KMT leftists on North Road seem relatively weak, Wu Peifu will Won't we concentrate our main force to go north to fight Hu Jingyi and Deng Yanda?"

Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!Now Wu Peifu and Duan Qirui can be regarded as difficult brothers and sisters, and they can still exist in China's warlord circles for a period of time depending on each other, so this time they will work together.Wu Peifu has more than 8 direct troops in his hands, as well as some unreliable miscellaneous brands, with a total strength of about [-].Duan Qirui's total army strength is about the same, and the two factions can still make up an army of [-] to [-].If you use one to contain Feng Yuxiang and concentrate your main force on the northern front to fight a decisive battle with your own side...

It seems that the short-term mission of my military adviser is not as easy and comfortable as I imagined.Maybe I really have to go to the front line to help Deng Yanda and other leftists make suggestions.I don't know how strong the army of the leftists is now?Although it is quite powerful from the establishment table, there are three infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, and one regiment of artillery, engineering, and transportation. The total strength of each regiment is no less than 36. Mortars and heavy machine guns are capable of fighting.

Chapter 0298 The Beginning ([-])

Zhili, Handan.

This ancient city with a long history of 3000 years has almost completely turned into a sea of ​​khaki military uniforms.The officers and soldiers of the 21st Division of the Central Army are all on and off the trains.They wore the same khaki military uniforms as Fengjun's, and leather hats that symbolized the bitter cold outside the Great Wall. Most of the soldiers also carried a long rifle on their shoulders.

These troops are the armed forces controlled by the leftists of the Kuomintang mobilized from Chahar, and the current designation is still the 21st Division of the Army.Most of the officers and soldiers of this division have undergone a whole year of rigorous training and have mastered various combat skills, especially in terms of live ammunition shooting, which has reached the "high standard" of [-] bullets per capita. This number is already record-breaking.

Along with the army came a large amount of supplies, weapons and ammunition.All the open space in Handan City was occupied by tents filled with various supplies, and around the tents were soldiers with live ammunition standing guard 24 hours a day.However, the 36 1902-type 76.2mm Soviet-made field guns that most attracted the attention of the people in the ancient city were neatly placed on the square in front of the Handan County Government, with their raised barrels all pointing to the south. Sky……

On the ancient city wall of Handan, two young generals in military uniforms are leading a group of school officers and lieutenants for a walk along the city wall.Behind is surrounded by guards of the brigade.Outside the city of Handan, the autumn wind is already bleak, and it is full of chills.Except for a few villages that can be seen faintly in the distance, there is an endless desolate plain.

The two young generals are exactly Luo Yaoguo and Deng Yanda, two rising stars of the Kuomintang.The two had just finished inspecting the 21st Army Division in the city, and for some reason, they ran to the top of Handan City to enjoy the desolate scene of the northern country in late autumn.

Deng Yanda stopped, stood on the edge of the city wall and looked at the distant land, frowned slightly, then turned to look at Luo Yaoguo beside him: "Brother Fuwen, according to the information we have now, the main force of the Zhiwan Allied Forces is still distributed. Along the Longhai Railway... there is no movement yet."

"This Wu Ziyu is really calm! He is...waiting for us to play first, right? The transportation in Henan is convenient, and the Longhai Railway and Beijing-Han Railway can help him quickly mobilize the army. Now Wu Ziyu has two sides. Encountered by the enemy, and our National Revolutionary Army is watching from the south... It is definitely not his choice to divide troops and wait for death."

Deng Yanda nodded and smiled: "Even I wouldn't do that. He is now fighting on the inside, and there is a railway that can quickly mobilize troops. It should be an inevitable choice to concentrate on destroying all the way first... and the goal of the CCP Li Zhilong and Xuan Xiafu think it will be Feng Yuxiang, because he and Feng Yuxiang have a deep blood feud, how can he swallow this bad breath?"

Luo Yaoguo sneered, and thought, "If it's the judgment of Mao Zedong and Peng Dehuai, then it's okay, but how can Li Zhilong and Xuan Xiafu's words be taken seriously?"

"Brother Fuwen, you have fought against the main force of the direct line. In your opinion... Can our 21st division win three times the main force of the direct line?" Deng Yanda hesitated for a moment, then asked again.

Henan is Wu Peifu's home field, and it may not be realistic to display any superb "military command art" under his nose.Moreover, the forces of the leftists of the Kuomintang are at a disadvantage now, and they are likely to face enemies several times over!

"It's hard to say. The Zhiwan Allied Army is definitely not as elite as your 21st Division. To be honest, with the current equipment and training level of your 21st Division, it is second only to the National Revolutionary Army in China. After the Great War in 13, it was already in a state of decline. Especially Wu Ziyu's direct army, they were unable to purchase artillery after they lost their main source of finance. During the war, the direct army suffered heavy losses, and a large number of heavy weapons were lost on the battlefield. Now I am afraid that they will not be able to use a few cannons to show off their prestige. The situation in Anhui is better. When Lu Yongxiang was in Zhejiang, his weapons and equipment were very good. Their losses in the 13 war were not too great, and there was also our annual payment of 13 million French currency. Considering the relationship between the Anhui Department and Japan...their weapons and equipment may still be passable, and it is estimated that there will be a certain number of artillery .”

Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo and Deng Yanda looked at each other.Both of them were from serious disciplines, and both had relatively rich combat experience.Naturally know the importance of artillery in a head-on confrontation.Now the 21st Division on the left side relies on nothing more than 36 Soviet-made field guns. The range of this kind of artillery far exceeds the Japanese-style mountain guns of the Zhi-Anhui Allied Forces.It's just... has the Artillery Regiment of the 21st Division mastered indirect aiming and sound measurement?

Luo Yaoguo squinted at Deng Yanda, and asked calmly: "Brother Zesheng, I don't know how well your artillery is trained? Especially how is the level of the artillery's optical and acoustic measurements?"

Deng Yanda just smiled awkwardly: "Sound test? Brother Fu Wen thinks we have the Whampoa Military Academy! Now our Chinese artillery has so many tricks except yours? It's good to be able to hit an indirect aim, and most of them still miss it. "

Artillery is a real science, including mathematics, meteorology, surveying and mapping, cartography... a lot of subjects need to be mastered. According to the current academic system of the Artillery Department of the Central Military Academy, it takes three years to train a student with an education equivalent to that of a junior high school. young man, to become a qualified artillery officer.Where does the KMT left have such conditions?

"But our cavalry is pretty good." Deng Yanda suddenly smiled heavily, and said again:

"After all, our 21st Division has been fighting on the grassland for more than a year, and now it has a cavalry brigade of 5000 people! With this cavalry brigade, our ability to cover the battlefield and reconnaissance will be greatly improved. So...my idea is to use this advantage to fight the enemy in field battles, and strive to eat the enemy in one bite. I estimate that our 21st Division should have two to three times the combat effectiveness of the Zhi-Anhui Allied Forces. If the number of enemy troops is as large as ours The army is equal, and I am sure to eat them. If the enemy's number is twice as large as ours, as long as it is not their elite, I am also sure to defeat the enemy. If the enemy's number is three times ours, we will retreat to Handan and rely on Jiancheng Fight defensively. Brother Fuwen, what do you think of this style of play?"

This is a bit of a perfect strategy, but... where does completeness come from on the battlefield?

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Brother Zesheng, when is he going to send troops? Don't forget the military advisor, little brother!"

Deng Yanda waved his hand and said with a smile: "Of course I can't leave you in Handan City to enjoy the blessings. Then you have to go to the battlefield with me to smell the smoke. I plan to rest and reorganize the army first, and dispatch 2 people to Fight Anyang and see how Wu Peifu reacts! It would be great if we could fight with his army outside Anyang City and test the strength of the opponent."

Chapter 0299 The Beginning (Part [-])

Henan Province, Lingbao County.

Just when Luo Yaoguo and Deng Yanda were planning to proceed cautiously while probing.The flag of the First Army of the National Army is already flying high here.

Soldiers of the National Army Brigade.Either marching, or taking a short rest.After more than ten days of fighting and marching, this army looked a little embarrassed.The military uniforms were in tatters, and the officers and soldiers looked a little black and thin.Field kitchens were set up inside and outside the county seat, and every pot was gurgling and tumbling, and there were not many rice noodles in it, but there were all kinds of wild vegetables.The small number of livestock had already been slaughtered, and most of them were distributed to the officers for a tooth sacrifice.

Such bleak food caused the soldiers and officers who were resting on the march to keep looking in the direction of the field kitchen.He couldn't stop swallowing his saliva, looking like a starved ghost reincarnated.

Feng Yuxiang's army seems to be in a miserable situation where they can't even eat corn bread.This is why he is eager to move eastward in order to open up the situation.The small Guanzhong has been plundered by Feng Yuxiang's subordinates for a year and a half, and now there is really not much oil to feed the growing national army.What makes Feng Yuxiang gnash his teeth even more is that, except for the hundreds of thousands of "rewards" given to the "wedding and meeting" at the beginning of the year, those rightists of the Kuomintang who are so fat have not given any money since then... and they also excused that there was no The budget line pays the National Army.Uh, what's a budget?What it is?It must be very reactionary!
