Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

Chapter 168

The battle of Fu Province lasted about half a month.

But the sensation and impact caused in the country is quite huge.

This was also the first time that the Northeast Army and the national government broke out in a large corps battle.

The number of troops on both sides has reached more than 700,000.

The national government sent 500,000 troops.

He was beaten so badly.

Chen Cheng's corps was severely damaged, and Liu Zhi's corps directly surrendered with 100,000 people.

According to data published by Tohoku.

In total, more than 80,000 nationalists were annihilated and 310,000 were captured.

The casualties on the side of the Northeast Army were only more than 3,000.

The battle loss ratio between the two sides reached more than 20 to 1, which was completely crushing battle.

This also gave everyone a very clear understanding of the true strength of the Northeast Army.

At the same time, the Northeast Army also demonstrated its ability to maneuver quickly to domestic warlords.

In just one or two days, 20,000 or 30,000 people were transported to Fu Province, thousands of miles away.

Not to mention domestic, even foreign powers may not be able to do it.

After this battle, everyone also saw a lot of things clearly.

Jiang Guangtou's big ship is afraid to sink.

Many have also had to start thinking about their own retreat.

The first thing that reacted the fastest was Chen Jitang.

Directly published the national electrification.

Its content is also quite explosive.

The meaning is also very simple.

"Break away from the national capital and join the northeast. "

Chen Jitang still sees the current situation quite clearly.

Phuoc Province has already been taken by the Northeast Army.

It can be understood from the fact that the Northeast Army did not cross the border between Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to pursue the Nationalist army.

The Northeast Army only confined the war to Fu Province.

We don't want a full-scale conflict with the government right now.

Since the Northeast Army will not continue to attack the national government.

So who can be next?

That, of course, is Guangdong next door.

Isn't the target him, the Southern Heavenly King Chen Jitang?

Although he Chen Jitang had more than 100,000 troops.

And with the good economic development of Guangdong.

The equipment is also not bad.

But compared to the Northeast Army, that is a gap like a gap.

Instead of waiting for the Northeast Army to hit the door.

It's better to take the initiative now.

In this way, I can also mix a good position in the Northeast Department.

Look at Jiang Guangding and Cai Tingkai.

Just defected to the Northeast Army.

One was appointed governor of Phuc Province.

One was appointed commander of the Fifty-fifth Army.

And this 55th Army was formed on the basis of part of the backbone of the 19th Route Army.

In addition, two armies, the 56th and 57th armies, were formed.

He took the land of Guangdong Province and more than 100,000 people from the Guangdong army to take the initiative to surrender.

It can't be worse than theirs.

For Chen Jitang's initiative.

Zhang Xueming was naturally welcomed.

He also specially asked Jiang Fangzhen to go to Guangdong for a run.

It also shows his importance to Chen Jitang.

Mainly because Jiang Fangzhen has been in the northeast for so long.

I want to take this opportunity to go to Guangdong to breathe.

In addition to Chen Jitang.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to contact Li Bai and the two in Guangxi.

His body is not very good.

I don't know how many years it will last.

As the size of the Northeast Army continues to increase.

There are also more and more transactions to be handled.

It is also becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

He already had a mind to take a back seat.

But before he retreats, he wants to find a successor.

And the only person in China who can make him look at it is Bai Chongxi.

At the time of the First Yunnan-Gui War, Bai Chongxi rose to prominence.

Demonstrated good command ability.

It is also known as Little Zhuge .

He had also been in contact with this person.

Indeed, he is knowledgeable and has not only strong theoretical knowledge.

Its practical ability is also very strong.

If you can convince Bai Chongxi.

Then not only did the Northeast Army solve a Gui warlord.

It can also add two generals, Li and Bai.

Chen Jitang's telegram to the whole country and his defection to the Northeast Army caused a huge sensation in the southwest.

In particular, the Gui family, which is adjacent to the Cantonese system.

Jiang Guangtou was almost half angry when he heard the news.

He sent people to urge Chen Jitang to send troops to Fu Province.

It's been postponed all the time.

Now he took the initiative to join the Northeast Army.

It's like a goddess.

You offer him all kinds of courtesy, but she doesn't answer.

When you think she's cold.

As a result, he turned around and threw his arms around the other person.

Can you not be depressed? Can you not be angry and half dead?

The current Jiang bald head's mood is much more complicated than this scene.

He understood that Chen Jitang's initiative to surrender would definitely cause a chain reaction on his face.

Just when the two sides met in Guangdong.

The Northeast Army of Hanzhong also began to act.

The main forces of the Third Army were assembled in the area of Ningqiang at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

At the same time, the Northeast High Command also issued an ultimatum to many warlords in Sichuan.

(The original name had the word ZW and could not be used, so it was changed to the high command department)

Before July 1st, if they are not far away, accept the integration of the Northeast Army.

Still warlord consciousness, continue to be the emperor of Sichuan.

Then the Northeast Army will enter Sichuan in a big way.

End the 20-year warlord chaos in Sichuan and Shu.

This action of the Northeast Army naturally caused panic among the warlords in Sichuan.

But it has won the strong support of the people of Sichuan and Shu.

Since 1912, there have been more than 400 wars between warlords in Sichuan.

Many people simply can't survive.

The Sichuan warlords led by Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang began to unite as never before.

At the same time, he also asked Jiang Guangtou of Jinling for help.

It is hoped that he will be able to send troops of the national army into Sichuan.

However, the Nationalist army, which had just experienced the Battle of Phuoc Province, had already been severely damaged.

Now he can't protect himself, where is he still thinking about Liu Wenhui's life and death.

One's eyes are bigger than one's stomach..

For the small actions of Liu Wenhui, Liu Xiang and others.

Zhang Xueming scoffed.

The reason he gave them so long.

Naturally, not to give them time to think about it.

Because Zhang Xueming knew that it was impossible for them to willingly give up their power and join the Northeast Army.

The reason is also very simple.

For those warlords with bad records and bad reputations.

Zhang Xueming handled it without mercy.

So Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang and others also know.

Even if they voluntarily surrender, there is no good ending.

So they will definitely choose to resist to the end.

Zhang Xueming's move is drunk, and he does not mean to drink.

It seems that it is pressure on the warlords in the land of Sichuan and Shu.

In fact, it is to put pressure on the Gui family.

Jiang Fangzhen arrived in Guangdong with a group of generals from the Northeast Reorganization Committee.

The talks between the two sides went very smoothly.

And Chen Jitang also got what he wanted.

He continued to rule Guangdong Province.

As for whether Chen Jitang will continue to grow in Guangdong Province.

In fact, Zhang Xueming is not worried.

First, the northeast has practiced military-political separation and has no jurisdiction over each other.

Without military power, Chen Jitang could not make any waves.

The second is because of the tax-sharing system.

Fiscal power was in his hands.

There is neither military power nor financial power.

How else can he Chen Jitang be bigger.

At the end of June, the two sides held a border ceremony in Guangzhou.

According to the regulations, the Guangdong Army was reorganized together with the prisoners of the Nationalist Army into the 58th and 59th Group Army.

Count the Fourth Army, the First Airborne Army and the Marine Corps in Phuoc Province.

The Northeast Army already had five army groups in the southeast.

The total strength of the army exceeded 300,000.

This is not too much pressure for the Gui family.

After all, they already border the territory of the Northeast Army.

Jiang Fangzhen also invited the two to Guangzhou for a meeting on June 28.

Li Bai and the two received an invitation from Jiang Fangzhen.

Without too much hesitation, he set off on the same day and arrived in Guangzhou.

With the intelligence of the two. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

They understood very well the purpose of this meeting.

But they could not refuse, nor could they refuse.

Because it is related to the fate of the future Gui family and Guangxi.

As for whether they will be controlled when they come to Guangzhou.

There's nothing to worry about.

With the strength of the Northeast Army, there is no need to play this conspiracy.

Compared with Jiang Bald's style.

Zhang Xueming is much more upright.

What's more, it was Jiang Fangzhen who invited them.

The Northeast Army was able to grow to this day.

He can be said to be indispensable.

The three met in a villa in Guangzhou.

I saw Li and Bai walking in.

Jiang Fangzhen's face also showed a smile.

"I'm very happy that you two can come, it seems that I still have a bit of face~." "

Li Tanren said with a smile on his face: "Who else in the world does not dare to give Jiang Gong face."

Jiang Gong beckoned, and the two of us would definitely rush over non-stop. "

After the three exchanged pleasantries.

Jiang Fangzhen's smile converged, and his tone was serious: "I wonder what you think of the future of my Chinese nation?"

After hearing this, Li and Bai looked at each other.

Li Tanren clasped his hands and asked rhetorically: "Do you mean to say that the future of this world is surnamed Jiang or Zhang?"

Jiang Fangzhen smiled, shook his head and said: "No, the future of this world must definitely be surnamed Zhang, I can still be sure of this."

I am asking about the future of the nation, the future of my Huaxia. "

After hearing this, the two couldn't help but be stunned.

You're welcome.

But he is telling the truth, and it will continue on this trend.

In less than two or three years, the surname Zhang will definitely be in the world.

And he will also truly end the warlord chaos.

Let the world return to true peace.

However, for Jiang Fangzhen's question, the two really didn't answer well.

Bai Chongxi said loudly: "The future is too far away for us, please ask Jiang Gong to make it clear." "

Jiang Fangzhen's eyes showed a hint of memory.

The young marshal also asked this question.

Like you, I can't answer it.

Because I can't see where the future of Huaxia is.

But now I know.

Huaxia's future does not lie in any one person, but in everyone.

Only we, the Chinese nation, are united to develop this country.

From then on, we will never be bullied by anyone again.

Everyone can be well fed, dressed warmly and able to live a good life.

And the Northeast has already begun to do just that.

It has a developed industry and a strong military force that is not weaker than that of the great powers.

After the land reform, all the people had their own fields and were able to eat.

Every child is also able to start school.

Isn't that what millions of us want to see?

For the future of the nation, and for yourselves.

Think about it.

The warlord scuffle must end.

This is the bottom line of the young marshal, me, and thousands of people.

Huaxia can no longer withstand internal friction. "

After a pause, Jiang Fangzhen continued, "The young marshal appreciates the two of you very much.

If you are willing to join us.

You must have a great future. "

After hearing these words, Li Bai and the others were still a little touched.

"Can Duke Jiang allow my brothers to discuss it, and we will be able to give you an answer tomorrow." "

Jiang Fangzhen had nothing to lose.

"Yes!"

After returning to their accommodation, the two also began to discuss.

"Jian Sheng, what do you think of the conversation just now?"

Bai Chongxi was silent for a moment before he spoke up: "It's deafening, it's very touching, and Zhang Xueming's sincerity is still very sufficient." "

"Oh, how do you see sincerity?

That Jiang Fangzhen only said that he promised us a great future, but he didn't say anything about any position. "

Bai Chongxi smiled and said, "I don't believe you would think so."

Not saying it, but the greatest sincerity.

Without sincerity, there is no need to tell us so much. "

Li Tanren nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that you also have the answer in your heart." "

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

There is only one way to go before them.

And they are all smart people, naturally know how to choose.

Because they know that once they choose to confront the words.

Then it won't be long before the army in the northeast will attack Gui in a big way.

They did not think that there was the slightest possibility of stopping the attack of the Northeast Army.

The next day, the two jointly found Jiang Fangzhen.

"Our Gui clan is willing to disband and join the Northeast. "

Jiang Fangzhen smiled and said in a good mood: "Well, you two really didn't let me down."

Then I will read out the appointment of the young marshal to you. "

The two brothers were a little stunned.

Co-author: Zhang Xueming has already calculated that they will choose to turn to him.

Actually the appointments were brought in advance.

But it also shows his sincerity.

Li Tanren served as the deputy director of the Northeast Government Council.

Bai Chongxi served as deputy chief of the general staff of the Northeast Supreme High Command. "

After hearing this appointment, both had pupil earthquakes.

Because the treatment is so high.

The State Council is the highest decision-making body.

And the General Staff is even less so.

This is the core institution of the Northeast Army.

For the shock of the two, Jiang Fangzhen can also understand.

Zhang Xueming has always adhered to the criteria of meritocracy and meritocracy.

Li Tanren has been ruling Guangxi for so many years.

It is necessary to make the development of such a poor province as Guangxi sound and colorful.

You must know that Guangxi does not have financial support from Jinling.

Not to mention Bai Chongxi. (King's good)

His military talent is well known.

Talented and virtuous people, Zhang Xueming is very appreciative.

This can also be seen in history.

These two are still very good.

That afternoon.

Li Tanren and Bai Chongxi of the Gui family also issued a national telegram.

Break away from the national capital and join the Northeast!

Immediately, it caused a huge sensation throughout the country.

In Jinling, it caused an earthquake.

The whole Jinling is in panic at this moment.

That's the Gui family.

Unexpectedly, even they did not withstand the pressure of the northeast.

Joined the Northeast camp.

This is a huge blow to the government.

Once the Gui family loses.

This means that the entire southwestern region will also fall into the hands of the Northeast Army.

It was on the third day that the Gui family announced his joining the Northeast camp.

Long Yun, the leader of the warlords in western Yunnan, also announced that he would join the northeast with electricity.

Throughout the south, the Cantonese and Guizhou families have successively joined the northeast.

That leaves his three forces: Yunxi, Gui, and Sichuan.

There are many warlords in the land of Sichuan and Shu, and a group of rabble.

Your family is no better, Wang Jialie and Mao Guangxiang are still fighting.

Could it be that he relied on Long Yun to block the Northeast Army?

So Long Yun also chose to join the Northeast.

This also makes it possible to mix a good position.

Otherwise, I won't even have to drink soup.

With the addition of Long Yun, it has basically laid the overall situation in the southwest and southeast regions.

When the time came July 1st.

Wang Yizhe led the 50th Army to the south.

Directly from Hanzhong into Shudi.

Liu Wenhui, Liu Xiang and others are opponents.

In less than half a month, they were beaten and retreated into Xikangli.

Wang Yizhe sent two divisions of troops to follow them into Xikang.

At the same time, two divisions of troops were sent to attack Wang Jialie and others in Guizhou.

Until the beginning of August, the overall situation in the southwest was decided.

Except for the two frontier provinces, all the warlords were either annihilated or joined the Northeast Army.

The world has also entered the two-legged momentum.

But everyone can see it.

Unification is already fast.
