King of Secret Service

This time he led his troops to the north, leaving the deputy commander Ye Zhao to look after the house and be responsible for the dispatch of logistics supplies.

For one thing, Ye Zhao was not from Whampoa, nor was he an officer of the Baoding Clan. He was from the Cantonese Army. Even if he was a lieutenant general and deputy commander of the [-]th Army, the only troops he could command were his own guard platoon. Don't worry about Ye Zhao making small moves after he leaves.

Secondly, Ye Zhao is also a veteran in the battlefield, so he is cautious in doing things, and it is relatively safe to leave him to look after the house. As for the war, he will not worry too much. After all, the equipment of various troops under his command has been replaced. Yes, in terms of weapons, it is definitely better than the Japanese army.

There is Yu Likui's new Twelfth Army in Shanghai, which has now been equipped with all-German weapons. Fortresses such as Wusongkou and Shizilin also have troops from the New Twelfth Army and the New Tenth Army stationed there. Coming from the sea will not bring you any benefits. After all, the heavy artillery group at Wusongkou is not...vegetarian. Whenever a Japanese warship docks, it will definitely be attacked by the heavy artillery group. If the Japanese force lands and fights, these thirty bombers can rush to fight in the sky within an hour.

Arranging everything, matters related to Liang Xiao's preparations to lead the army, and the appointment of the personnel left behind, etc...

After arranging these trivial matters, he sent several telegrams and went north to fight.

Chapter 433 Little Zhuge Killed Halfway

This time going north, Liang Xiao led the [-]th Army headquarters, headquarters guards, special operations brigade, machine gun battalion, field hospital, etc. to cross the river first.

The vanguard is his trump card No. 20 Sixth Army, which has already received the order to go north to Los Angeles and set out from Jiangbei.

The follow-up force was the 66th Army. The special warfare division removed the one brigade responsible for escorting food and supplies, and the remaining two special warfare brigades walked on the left and right wings of the headquarters to ensure that the headquarters would not be attacked by the Japanese army on the way north to Los Angeles.

This time going north, Liang Xiao dispatched a total of more than 500 trucks carrying soldiers and more than 70 jeeps. On the official road from Jiangbei to Luocheng, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the sound of rumbling machinery was endless.

at the same time.

Los Angeles, First Theater Command.

Commander Cheng Qian held the telegram from the military and political council, and frowned.

He read the telegram back and forth a dozen times, and sighed deeply.

"Mr. Song, little Zhuge Bai Jiansheng is here, and he wants to see you."

The lieutenant entered the doorway.

"He didn't command the battle in southern Guangxi, what did he do in Los Angeles? It's just nonsense."

Song Gong put his hands behind his back and frowned.

"Song Gong, how should I answer him?"

The adjutant asked for instructions.

"Everyone is here, let's meet up, lest the Gui family say that I, Cheng Qian, are not very polite."

Song Gong waved his hand.

"Yes."

The adjutant went out and invited Deputy Chief Bai into the hall.

"Mr. Song, you came here uninvited. I'm sorry to disturb you."

Bai Jiansheng entered the door and said with a smile, Cheng Qian's qualifications and prestige in the party are completely incomparable to him, even if the committee meets Cheng Qian, he still has to pay tribute to him, let alone someone like Bai.

"Jiansheng, aren't you Guinan? I didn't even know when you came to Los Angeles."

Song Gong asked.

"As soon as I got off the plane, I came straight to you."

Bai Jiansheng said with a smile: "It happens that I didn't eat in the morning, so I'll have a meal with you."

"What are you talking about? You, Bai Jiansheng, go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. You can't be invited here normally."

Song Gong smiled slightly, and ordered to go down and prepare a welcome banquet for Bai Jiansheng.

"Mr. Song, Bai is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, so he won't talk nonsense. Let me ask you, do you really plan to let the power of the direct line of the committee enter Los Angeles?"

Bai Jiansheng opened the door.

"The military and political council has already issued an order, but I just disagree, so what can I say? The telegram from the military and political council made it clear that my first war zone is not affiliated with Liang Feiyu's [-]th Army. Entering Los Angeles, what can I do?"

Song Gong sighed.

"Mr. Song, have you ever thought about it, once the chairman's direct lineage is allowed to control Los Angeles, our two families will be in a difficult situation."

Pointing at the map, Bai Jiansheng said: "In my Guangxi territory, there are troops from Zhang Fakui's Fourth War Zone, Li Yutang's army from the Ninth War Zone, and Du Yuming's Fifth Army. Now that Liang Feiyu's army has entered Luo, our Guangxi territory will We are surrounded by the Central Army, if there is any friction in the future, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Jiansheng, you are thinking too much. The military and government will let Liang Feiyu's army enter Luo. It is to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through the Jinpu line. It will not be difficult for us. Besides, this is the period of the Anti-Japanese War, and no one dares to engage in internal strife. Otherwise, this will destroy the unity of the Anti-Japanese War. No one can afford the crime."

Praise justice.

"That's what I said, but our... you and I have experienced the method of appointing a seat, so we have to guard against it."

Bai Jiansheng said.

Song Gong followed his words and asked: "How to prevent?"

"Prevent Liang Feiyu's army from entering Luo."

Bai Jiansheng said.

"The telegrams from the military and political council have all been sent, how can I stop them?"

Song Gong asked again.

"This is easy to handle. Lao Jiang has a policy, and we have a countermeasure. I have already thought about it for Song Gong. You ask the Hunan Army troops stationed in Mahe, [-] kilometers away from Luocheng, to intercept Liang Feiyu's vanguard, and tell them that Luoyang A simulated military exercise is in progress, please temporarily set up camp outside Mahe, and let them enter the city after the military exercise is over."

Bai Jiansheng said.

"What kind of bad idea is this? Didn't you make me offend the committee for no reason?"

Song Gong said angrily.

"Listen to me, as long as Liang Feiyu is held back by your side, Minister He and Delin and I will try to persuade the committee to drop Liang Feiyu's troops to fight in Guangdong. These days, Yu Hanmou's troops in Guangdong have been defeated repeatedly. The central army needs to help one or two...,..., Looking at the various combat units of the national army, only Liang Feiyu's 20th Army is close to Guangdong. Secondly, Liang Feiyu's command ability is outstanding, and the No. [-] The Sixth Army is known as the trump card of the trump card, and it is most appropriate to send him to Guangdong to regain lost ground and open up the Guangdong-Han Railway.”

Bai Jiansheng laughed.

"You guys went with He Jingzhi"

Song Gong glanced at Bai Jiansheng and wondered in his heart, when did the relationship between Gui Clan and He Jingzhi become so good "You don't know, Liang Feiyu made Jingzhi look ashamed and lost all face in the mountain city, he hated Liang Feiyu to the bone, Naturally, I don't want Liang Feiyu to sit firmly in the Central Plains, and he will become a serious problem in the future."

Bai Jiansheng said.

"I've never heard of it. Jingzhi is also a member of the national government, so why should he compete with the younger generation?"

Praise justice.

"It's not Jingzhi's fault. Liang Feiyu sent soldiers to search his mansion. Do you think he can't be angry? The key is that the commissioner has helped Liang Feiyu in this matter. Jingzhi is even more dissatisfied."

Bai Jiansheng said.

"Liang Feiyu is brave and good at fighting, and his name is known all over the world. Now it is the period of the Anti-Japanese War. We... the important people of the party and the country should support the younger generation more. How can we keep suppressing him? .”

Praise justice.

"It's not suppression, it's training."

Bai Jiansheng said: "Liang Feiyu is good at everything, but... he is too arrogant. After winning several battles, he no longer pays attention to us... old people who have led the army for many years Here, he was still there a few days ago: the commissioned official residence openly imprisoned the military, political and business dignitaries in central Sichuan, arrogant and domineering, and unscrupulous, such a person must be honed."

Although Song Gong is old, his eyes are still very bright. Bai Jiansheng said so much, but he used his hand to stop Liang Xiao's army and prevent him from entering Luocheng.

"Jiansheng, now is the occasion for employing people. The commissioner sent Liang Feiyu to lead the Central Army to Luo. To be honest, I was also very worried, but after all, this is a major matter related to the fate of the national army. It cannot be mixed with personal grievances between us and the commissioner."

Praise justice.

"You mean to let Liang Feiyu enter the city?"

A trace of displeasure flashed in Bai Jiansheng's eyes, and he asked.

"Unless there is an express telegram from the Military and Political Council, Liang Feiyu's entry into the city is imperative. I can't ignore the country's major affairs because of my own self-interest."

Praise justice.

Chapter 434 Soldiers are precious and fast, and the fighters arrive first

Bai Jiansheng's face was very ugly, Cheng Qian didn't say it clearly, but expressed his meaning, he would not stop Liang Feiyu from entering the city.

From the perspective of personal interests, there is nothing wrong with Cheng Qian's doing this. He actually doesn't have much...right in the Hunan Army. Helping the Guangxi faction to prevent Liang Xiao from entering Luocheng will not do him any good personally, and it will also offend Liang Xiao behind him. Seriously, he would be charged with sabotaging the War of Resistance.

Therefore, it makes sense for him not to help Bai Jiansheng.

Moreover, in [-], he had a conflict with the Guangxi faction. The Guangxi faction disarmed his Sixth Army, and the Jiang faction dismissed him from all positions. As a result, he went to Shanghai as a secretary for several years In the end, in order to balance the interests of all parties, the government asked him to come out again to serve as a member of the Military Commission and Supervisory Committee.

Last month, the Military and Political Council removed Liu Zhi and replaced him.

It can be said that he now has all the military and political power in Henan, but his personal background only has the military power of the Hunan Army.

"Mr. Song, think again."

Bai Jiansheng smiled and said: "You managed to make a comeback and become the commander of the first war zone, and you also have the military and political power in Henan. If you let Liang Xiao enter Luo, the situation you have managed so hard to make will be the water of the Yellow River. no return."

"Jiansheng's words are wrong. Cheng is already sixty years old, and he has long wanted to disarm and return to the field. It's just that the Japanese invaded. I didn't want to sit and wait for death. This is why I don't want to make a comeback."

Cheng Qiandao.

Bai Jiansheng looked at Cheng Qian alone, he knew he couldn't convince Song Gong.

Among the high officials in the national government, Song Gong is a very popular person. He has maintained good relations with the Jiang family, the four major families, the Baoding family, and various local powerful factions. Although he had conflicts with the Guangxi family a few years ago, these Years are also forgotten.

"Mr. Song, it seems that my trip was wasted."

He Jiansheng smiled wryly.

"It's not a waste of time. I've already had someone prepare a banquet. We ate and chatted. We all said that you, Bai Jiansheng, are Kong Ming. I'm an old man, and I want to hear your opinion."

Cheng Qiandao.

"I don't dare to take it for a high opinion. If I have some opinions on the battle situation, I really have something to talk to Song Gong about."

Bai Jiansheng said.

"Please say."

Although Cheng Qian didn't like Xiao Zhuge's character, he still admired his military views.

"After the Japanese invaders occupied Xucheng, they immediately occupied Seoul. Next, the strategic goal of the Japanese army should be to cross the Yangtze River from north to south, advance along the waterways, and eliminate Liang Feiyu's troops in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, thereby occupying the entire Jiangnan area. In the southwest direction, the Japanese invaders sent troops into southern Guangxi. Their purpose was to disturb the rear of the southwest and win a good opportunity for the Japanese invaders on the front line. In the northwest direction, the Japanese army dreamed of sending troops to Chang'an, but they couldn't get past the layers of defense of the Central Army. , and the Majia army in the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia is also tough and good at fighting, they can only pacify the Central Plains first, and then look to the northwest.”

"The Military and Political Council asked Liang Feiyu to lead an army north to Luocheng, in order to defend Luocheng, keep the Japanese invaders in the north of Luocheng, and protect the southwest and Jiangnan."

Bai Jiansheng laughed and said: "It is said that this... the proud student in the committee is amazing in fighting. We all watched with wide-eyed eyes to see how he defeated the Japanese army with less. Attacking pace."

Hear this.

Cheng Qian shook his head imperceptibly, Xiao Zhuge's situation is small, as a member of one party, his vision is so narrow, he will definitely suffer in the future.

"Liang Feiyu's reputation as a good fighter is well known throughout the world, and it is also a blessing for the people of Henan to defend Luocheng."

It was rare for Cheng Qian to say a good word.

At this time.

Suddenly there was a buzzing sound outside.

enemy attack.

Cheng Qian hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Adjutant Li, send an order to prepare for air defense."

"Commander, don't worry, it's not an enemy plane, it's a fighter plane from the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Garrison Headquarters. There are thirty or forty of them, and they are dyed with blue ink. The blue sky and white sun pattern on the fuselage is very dazzling."

Adjutant Li said.

"Liang Feiyu's fighter plane is here so soon"

Cheng Qian was surprised.

"We received a telegram from the No.20 Sixth Army that the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou garrison dispatched an aviation formation to be stationed at Los Angeles Airport. You also agreed to this matter."

Adjutant Li said.

"I did agree to this matter, but I didn't expect Liang Feiyu's bomber to come so fast. Now it's all right. With these... bombers, how dare the little devil's fighter plane come?" Don’t dare to fly over our heads unscrupulously.”

Cheng Qian said excitedly.

"Mr. Song, the bomber planes have arrived before Liang Feiyu's army arrives. It really is the speed of soldiers."

Bai Jiansheng nodded and smiled.

"Adjutant Li, ask the No.20 Sixth Army to see where they have gone"

Cheng Qiandao.

"I've already called to inquire. The No. 20 Sixth Army, the leading unit, has already reached [-] miles away from Los Angeles. It is estimated that they will be able to reach Los Angeles before dark."

Adjutant Li said.
